~I had been avoiding Blaine at all costs. If I saw him in the hall, I'd turn the other way, I ate in a different room each lunch time, heck, I barely even looked at him during choir practices. I can tell that he's confused, but I just can't bring this any further. I need to stop loving him, because I know he doesn't feel the same. I'm trying my best, but it's pretty difficult. Today during lunch, he found me. In more ways than one. ~
Chap 1:
"Hey there stranger"
I was shocked
"Um. Hi Blaine, look I'm sorry I really have to.."
"Can we talk?"
I sighed. "Of course." Who could say no to that face?
He approached slowly. "I feel like you've been avoiding me, and I'm not sure why."
I walked past him: "I've been really busy, school work here is much harder, and I've barely got any time to do anything outside The Warblers."
"You don't even look at me anymore."
I didn't know what to say.
"Are you mad at me? Did I do something wrong?"
I kept going for the door, and he kept blocking me.
"No, nothing's wrong, I just really need to get home."
I tried for the door again, but this time as I walked past, I felt something. He grabbed my hand.
"Kurt, please. All I ask is for five minutes, then I promise you can go."
I turn around.
"Kurt, I can't help but feel I've done something wrong."
"You haven't done anything wrong! I promise."
"Then why can't you even look me in the eyes?"
I can feel my heart aching.
"I really think we should discuss this at another time."
I turn to walk out the door.
"Kurt, I care about you."
I reply, without facing him. I can't watch this train wreck. I can't believe I'm actually saying this.
"I really care about you too. It's just... I don't think it's in the same way."
There was a moment of silence.
I turn around to see if he's still there, and he has that face on, that kind smile, the concerned look. He moves closer. We're only 30 cm apart.
"What are you..?"
"Shh."
He moves a little closer, his eyes carefully asking me something. I don't move an inch.
He's moving closer and closer and suddenly, I closed my eyes.
He's kissing me.
He's kissing me and I'm kissing him back.
It feels like ecstasy.
He pulls back, strokes my face, and gently lifts my chin.
"Now darling, do you see how much I care?"
I was completely speechless.
He drops his hand.
"Your five minutes are up, you can leave if you want to."
He backs up, giving me space.
I'm done processing. I'm done second guessing.
After a moment, I take a step towards him, and
hug him. He hugs me back and I've never felt safer, warmer. His arms are so protective. I'm happy.
I take his hand.
We interlock fingers and walk out the door, together.
A couple.
