Jeff was quietly sitting by Nick's bed when Kurt walked in. He wasn't exactly sure how Kurt had found out Nick was there, or what room he was in, but there was something in the quiet shared moment between the two other men that shook Jeff down to his very core, but in a comforting way. As Kurt left the room, Jeff's dark eyes turned back to find Nick's filling with tears. "Don't be sorry," Jeff replied quietly, shaking his head with a comforting smile. "He is right." Jeff couldn't begin to explain how freeing that realization was for them. For so long, part of him had struggled with the feeling that he was somehow supposed to be able to help more than he really could, that he was letting Nick down by not being able to do more or help more. But Nick was allowed to take his time... to work his way through all the pain of his past, and heal, and find himself again. No one could rush that process or speed it along, but Jeff would be there along the way to hold him when he felt safe in letting him do that, to listen if he wanted to talk, ( ... )

Nick barely even noticed that Kurt had a couple of burly dudes with him hovering out in the corridor that were probably security of some sort. It was so easy to forget he was international hot property and probably couldn't just go walking around a hospital alone... or anywhere really. He did wonder very fleetingly how Kurt knew, but for all Nick was aware, it could have been Puck that told him, or even Nick's own parents. They had been talking about visiting Blaine. It was probably no secret that Nick was in here, and all he could think of how relieved he was that he was in here, and not insideThat was when it all finally hit him. He hadn't had time to absorb and process the verdict and the enormity that he was being set free when it happened. Dani fell sick and he had absolutely freaked out. But it was true. The jury found him not guilty for all the charges the prosecution had been laying on him, and in the process, gaining that verdict, he was awarded the entirety of his husband's estate... including their house, the two cars, all ( ... )

Jeff could almost sense the panic in Nick before he even saw it, and he quickly moved so that he could get the other man's attention and hold it. "Nicky," he whispered, still keeping a gentle hold on Nick's hand. "Nicky, look at me. It's okay to not know what to do. There's nothing wrong with that," he assured him, following that up with gently murmured shushing sounds of comfort when no words would do what he wanted them to ( ... )

Nick just held up his hand and shook his head. "I'm not freaking out." His voice was hoarse and choked, but he didn't want everyone to think that every time he got emotional or upset, he was having some sort of mental break down. He knew Jeff didn't mean anything by it, but it pissed him off that just because hew as trying to offload after the whole shock and panicking about what should come next, didn't mean he was going to fly off the mental handle. He clamped his mouth and eyes shut, turning his head up towards the ceiling a little to try and calm himself down ( ... )
