Welcome to Hogwarts(Boyxboy)

Chapter 28

Friday.

Tomorrow was the day Thad was returning to Hogwarts.

After two long, horribly lonely and anxious weeks he was finally going to see him again.

It was such a wonderful thought he barely slept at all that night. The only reason he managed to get any sleep was the fact that Jeff and Nick had practically begged him to stay in Thad's bed.

"We don't want it to be empty," Jeff had said with a smile.

"But it's better if you stay there rather than one of us because Thad always says he likes the way you smell so his bed will smell like you," Nick said matter-of-factly.

"When did he tell you that?" Kurt said, looking surprised.

They looked faintly nervous.

"He didn't tell you, did he?" Blaine said, looking amused.

"Alright, fine," Jeff said, sighing. "We found his journal."

"It was too hard to resist," Nick said sheepishly.

Kurt rolled his eyes, shaking his head as Blaine gripped his face in his hand.

"We just wanted to make sure he was okay," Jeff said defensively. "We didn't want to...you know, make fun of him or anything."

"We were just worried about him," Nick muttered, hanging his head.

Flint made sure to get the leather-bound journal from them before he went to bed, feeling odd sleeping in the Ravenclaw tower rather than his own but loving the fact that this was the bed where Thad slept at night. He couldn't wait until they were able to share a bed every night.

"Goodnight, lion," Jeff said, grinning at him from the bed on the other side of Nick's.

"Have lots of happy dreams about the wildcat," Nick said, lying on his side and facing Flint with a faint smirk. "But nothing like that!" he added, wide-eyed.

Kurt rolled his eyes, Blaine chuckling from where the two of them were cuddling on Kurt's bed, reading.

"Go to sleep, you two," Kurt said. "Thad will be back tomorrow."

Jeff let out a squeal of excitement and snuggled under his covers happily, grinning at the ceiling. Nick grinned and lay down as well.

"The faster we sleep the sooner we see Thad, right?" Jeff said before squeezing his eyes shut.

"Right," Nick said, nodding and closing his eyes as well.

"You're both mental," Kurt muttered.

"Kurtsie, be quiet, we're sleeping!" Jeff said, opening one eye to glare at him. Flint saw Wes and David exchanged a roll of their eyes, though they were smiling.

Blaine laughed and returned to his book, covering Kurt's mouth to keep him from retorting. Kurt peeled his hand away, scowling playfully at him before kissing his jaw.

"Well, goodnight," Flint said, smiling as he pulled the hangings shut around his bed, the rest of them calling out replies.

He lay down, staring at Thad's journal. He was tempted to read it, to see what was going on in Thad's brain that he'd been keeping to himself. Jeff and Nick had read part of it...he didn't think Thad would mind if he looked at it too. He trusted Flint...he loved Flint. Surely he wouldn't be upset. Right?

He convinced himself that it was the truth and say back up against the headboard, heart beating a little quicker than normal as he cracked open the thin, leather-bound book.
