Okay, so this began with a Blaine fanmix I created, and I decided to write a drabble for each song - there's thirteen in total - and I've decided instead of posting each one under one one-shot I'll be posting them as seperate drabbles. They won't be too long, I hope they'll all be around this length, which is 290 words (I bet they'll end up being like two thousand words each, haha), and when it's finished I'll give you guys the tracklist and upload them all under a fanmix (with a cover! le gasp!). If you have any ConCrit, then I'm open to that.
I'm just going to point out now - this is Blaine's POV the entire way, and the majority of it's going to be about his past. Don't worry, Kurt'll get involved soon enough! I'm hoping to get most of it (if not all) uploaded tonight. So... Enjoy!
introduction
Growing up as Blaine Anderson wasn't an easy thing – there were trials he had to pass, obstacles to stumble over and fronts he had to put on, but in the end it worked. No one would ask questions, people would talk to him and smile at him and say you're the bestest friend I've ever had… everything he did was good, and if it was good enough for them then it was perfect for him, too.
And then High School turned his world upside down.
It started off fine – kids would come up to him, laughing and grinning and lightly punching his arm as if to say you're cool, Anderson and he was so sure that he was passing by without anyone noticing that he was – might have – been different from them in the way that made his father frown and his mother purse her lips. It was a thought that constantly tickled the back of his mind, because while all the boys were talking about how hot that girl looked in that simple pale red dress that accentuated all of her curves, he was contemplating going up to her and saying that it was the wrong shade of red (it should be a deep scarlet, or a brighter shade of crimson at least), and when girls came up to him and subtly hunted that he should really go see a movie with them on Friday or take them out to dinner after their study date on Wednesday he politely told them "no, thank you" and went on his merry way.
Of course, after he turned down the fifth girl that week, the seed of doubt had been planted in many a boy's mind and they began to wonder…
