Disclaimer: I don't own Glee, but you already knew that, right?
Blaine Anderson was a lot of things. He was kind, smart, humble, charming – oh so very charming, attractive, but he was also the worlds biggest flirt, and it wasn't even intentional. He was just programmed to flirt with everyone, from babies to old women. From offering to help with everything, even if it was just carrying their groceries to their car, to holding the hand of someone he's only just met. Normally, it was deeply funny to observe, especially if you knew Blaine well, but as of right now it was not funny. It was not funny at all.
You see, Blaine Anderson had a best friend named Kurt Hummel. Said best friend was harboring a major crush, border lining on love, for Blaine Anderson. And every Warbler could see it – hell, everyone in Western Ohio could see it – except Blaine. A few of the Warblers were mildly entertained by Kurt's crush. Watching the boy flush every time Blaine took his hand (which was quite often, Wes might add) and the looks he got whenever Blaine sang were, at times, extremely endearing. Wes and David were the most invested with the two, being Blaine's best friends since he came to Dalton, and the fact that they had attached to Kurt rather quickly were major contributors to that.
It was also rather obvious – to everyone except Kurt – that Blaine reciprocated said feelings. Wes had listened about a million times as Blaine tried to figure out Kurt'seye color and went on about Kurt's hair.
That being said, the situation that was playing out in front of them right now was not deeply funny, nor was it even remotely entertaining. It was wince-inducing, bang your head on a wall (or in Wes' case, gavel) painful. Before today, if you were to ask David what the most difficult thing he had ever done was, he would have answered with "passing Algebra." As of right now, however, the answer would be "watching Blaine obliviously flirt with the new Warbler while also watching Kurt silently fume. While not saying anything."
Since the whole GAP fiasco, the air between Kurt and Blaine had changed. They were still the very best of friends and Kurt's feelings were still noticeable, possibly even more so, but the physical aspect of their relationship had been toned down. Kurt was also a lot less open with his feelings for the lead Warbler. If Wes had asked Kurt what he thought of Blaine's numerous solos, he would have expected a ten minute long speech on how Blaine's voice resembled a god's and how his dancing was the best thing since sliced bread and he should really forgo the gel for awhile and what color do you think his eyes are Wes? But now he was lucky if Kurt said more than "he's good."
What they were witnessing right now was doing anything but help Kurt and Blaine's friendship. From the little bit Kurt would tell them, Wes and David had picked up that Blaine told Kurt he wasn't ready for a relationship because he didn't want to mess up what they had, whatever that was supposed to mean. Kurt had been okay with it; he hadn't taken it too hard. Or at least, he hadn't until now. Seeing your best friend who had just rejected you because he didn't want to rush things flirt with an obviously gay male who he had just met fifteen minutes ago was understandably upsetting, at least it was in Kurt's case. They needed to do something, fast.
Wes banged his gavel on the council table, a little too loudly if you asked David. "Warbler Blaine, Warbler Grant has been welcomed quite thoroughly, you may cease and desist your self-appointed role as the one man welcoming committee," he announced, his light tone obviously forced. He caught David giving him a side-eyed look that read "Where did that come from?" but pointedly ignored it.
Blaine nodded, mumbling his apologies and that the council was right please continue as he took his seat. Thankfully he reclaimed his seat next to Kurt, on the other side of the room from Grant. Had he taken the seat next to Grant he would have received a gavel to the side of the head courtesy of Wes. Wes watched as Blaine whispered something in Kurt's ear, causing the boy to blush ever so slightly and stifle a laugh.
Hiding a smirk, Wes continued, "Great rehearsal today, and we are happy to have you aboard, Warbler Grant. There will be no practice tomorrow as we have our impromptu performance in the senior commons after lunch. You are dismissed." He banged his gavel in finality and rose from his seat, David following suit.
Wes held up a hand, knowing David was going to have something to say. He wanted to make sure the two were out of ear shot of the rest of the group before discussing what had just gone down. Of course, as if the world was conspiring against him, a certain new Warbler approached them.
"Um, hi," Grant said, somewhat nervously, "I'm sorry for taking up so much of the meeting today." David smiled and told him that it wasn't his fault, Blaine likes the sound of his own voice and that he shouldn't worry about it.
Grant smiled in return and said something that made the color drain from Wes' face. "He has a nice voice, doesn't he? And he ain't too bad looking, either. I think I'm gonna go find him." As Grant left, the room became empty of people (Wes and David being exceptions.)
"This is not good," Wes said, sliding back down into his chair with his hands covering his eyes, "This is so not good. You saw the look on Kurt's face today. If he hasn't been pulling away from Blaine he's definitely going to now. And then I'm going to have to deal with Blaine's mopey ass, and that is the last thing I want to do."
"Blaine is obviously in love with Kurt though," David answered, "So what if he was being a little more than friendly towards the new guy? He's like that with everyone. I actually think that constitutes as friendly in Blaine's case."
Wes shook his head. "I know that, and you know that but Kurt doesn't. Kurt only just got here, he hasn't seen the way Blaine interacts with the rest of the world."
David shook his head, ready to answer, but he thought better of it. Wes did have a point, Kurt wasn't used to Blaine's behavior towards other people. And if the look on Kurt's face during rehearsal was anything to go by, he didn't like it. Not one bit.
"We need to do something," Wes said. David looked at his best friend, the look on his face was serious. To anyone else, it may seem like they were overreacting, but Wes and David knew something needed to be done. Fast.
"What can we do though? If we're too obvious about it, Kurt will figure it out," David sighed. Wes groaned in response, slapping a hand to his face.
"Simple, we get Blaine and Kurt together," Wes said, "I'm thinking we call it Operation Klaine."
"Operation what?" an all-too familiar voice shrieked. Wes and David looked up, identical looks of shock, horror, and extremely mild amusement etched across their faces. Crap Wes thought. This is not how I wanted the operation to start.
