"Thomas, if you don't get your grade to at least above a C, you'll have to stay back and won't be allowed on the team." Tommy's teacher had said to the well known jock of the school. Tommy scoffed and leaned back in his chair.
"So? I'll join another sport!" He crossed his arms.
"No, you're not allowed on any teams, you won't be able to go to prom, and won't be able to graduate with all your friends."
Tommy groaned into his hands and looked around. "Well, what can I do then?"
"Well, that's where he comes in," The teacher pointed to a kid in the back, who was reading a book. "Nick, come over here."
The kid stood up and walked over to them, and Tommy had to admit, this guy was pretty cute.
"Y-Yes sir?"
"You're going to be tutoring Thomas, or Tommy as he prefers, for the next few weeks." The teacher told him, and Nick looked up at Tommy.
"O-Okay."
"Okay? Huh. I thought you'd argue about this like you usually do when I ask you for these favors."
"Well, sir, Tommy here is an exception," Nick smiled up at Tommy and blushed lightly. "He's the only jock that hasn't picked on me at all during my whole high school life."
"Well, that's because I haven't noticed you." How could he not? This guy was cute as hell! Tommy wanted to just start kissing his face all over then and there.
"Nick, here's a list of things you need to test and help him learn by two weeks. Tommy, I'll have a special test ready for you." The two students nodded and left the teacher alone, and stood in the empty hallway.
"Well, the bell is about to ring in any minute. Shall we head to the library while we have the-" Nick was cut off by the bell, and he watched as jocks, pretty girls, nerds, geeks, bloggers, and wannabe popular kids flooded the hallway.
"C'mon, let's go." Tommy grabbed Nick's hand, and pulled him through the crowd of people. Nick stared down at their hands, and blushed madly. Wow, he couldn't believe Tommy just held his hand like that!
Nick was suddenly pushed into a wall of lockers by a few of his normal bullies, Cory and Uni, with their new guy Jon. "Sup, loser?" Cory smirked and looked down at Nick, who looked around for Tommy. Damn, the guy was nowhere.
"W-What do you want?" Nick asked, fixing his glasses and standing up.
"Your allowance! And your homework!" Uni laughed, and Cory elbowed him.
"Yeah! What he said!" Jon added, and Cory rolled his eye? It was hard to tell.
"Will you two shut up!" Cory yelled, and Nick sighed. He reached into his bag and-
-watched as Cory was punched right in the gut by Tommy.
"Hey! You leave my nerd alone!" Tommy yelled, and Cory got up slowly.
"Since when he has been your nerd?" Cory asked, holding his stomach.
"Since today. C'mon, Nick." Tommy held out a hand, and Nick took it.
"Oh, so that's how it is, eh? Though, is he really yours?" Cory asked, and Tommy raised an eyebrow.
"What? You want me kiss him?"
"Yeah, to prove that he's really yours. If you don't, we'll beat both of you up. 3 against 1, since that nerd is a wimp."
Tommy looked at Nick, who nodded and cupped Tommy's face in his hands. He kissed him without hesitation, and wrapped his arms around his neck. Tommy kissed Nick back slowly, and wrapped his arms around his waist.
Everybody in the hall stared in shock, and Cory didn't until Nick lifted a leg off the ground and Tommy dipped him slightly.
"Alright, alright! Get out of my face, love birds." Cory and his gang walked off, and so did everybody else. They broke the kiss and looked at each other.
"Wow." Tommy said, and pulled Nick in closer.
"Y-Yeah...should we head to the library? Nobody will be there, so..." Nick gave Tommy a suggestive look, and Tommy nodded slowly.

"Nick! Hey!" Tommy ran over to Nick, who was putting his books into his locker. Tommy held up a sheet of paper with a B- on it, and smiled widely. "Look!"
"Tommy! That's fantastic! I'm so proud of you!" Nick smiled as well, then hugged him. Tommy hugged back tightly, then kissed his cheek.
"I wouldn't have been able to do any of this withoug you, thanks Nick, it means a lot to me." Nick blushed and felt his cheek.
"I'm glad I could help a fine guy like yourself, a-and thank you from protecting me from the bullies..." Nick kissed Tommy's cheek, and Tommy nodded.
"I'm not going to let anybody but me touch my nerd," Tommy said, and held his hands. "And, despite our tutoring session being over, I'll still protect you."
"Tommy, I-"
"Nick, will you continue to be my nerd?" Tommy asked, and Nick could feel his face flush red.
"A-Are you asking me to be your boyfriend?" Nick asked, and Tommy nodded. "W-Well, then, I'd love to continue to be your nerd if you continue being my jock."
"Why of course," Tommy kissed Nick's forehead, and picked Nick up. "Hey, the bell rang a few minutes ago, how about you and I go grab a bite to eat? My treat for you helping me."
"S-Sure, then maybe you'd like to go to my place? My parents won't be home and I'll feel so lonely..." Nick seemed to purr, and Tommy blushed madly.
"O-O-Oh, w-well, I wouldn't w-want to leave you lonely." Tommy rubbed the back of his neck, and leaned in to kiss Nick.
Then Cory pulled him up. The guy put a hand on both of their shoulders and smiled at them. "Hey, listen, I want to apologize about my behavior two weeks ago or so. Have a good day you guys."
They watched as Cory walked off with some girl, and both raised an eyebrow.
"What was that about?" Tommy asked, and Nick shrugged.
"Maybe he found himself a nerd too." Nick kissed Tommy's cheek, and took his hand as they walked out the school doors.
Tommy couldn't wait to ask Nick out to prom.
