Blaine has a crush on Sam, doesn't know if he's over Kurt yet and furthermore gets the (good? bad?) advice to date someone else completely as a rebounce. Will this end well?

Note: There will be Klaine, Bick (Blaine & Nick Warbler) and Blam in it. You have been warned.

Blaine and the boys

„Sexy!"

Blaine bit his lip and hoped Sam wouldn't realise that his enthusiastic reaction was kind of over the top for a best friend. Well, yeah, Sam knew about Blaine's crush on him but that didn't justify comments like that.

"Right?", Sam said, turning himself around in front of his cupboard mirror. He wore a suit and it really fitted him well. He smoothed his jacket and grinned to himself.

"Brit's family will probably never let me go", he said. "I just hope they won't insist on us marrying, too."

"You kind of did that already", Blaine said, silently sighing. Sam and his girlfriend Brittany would be attending the wedding of her cousin this Saturday and he wasn't invited. Not that he wanted to be there, with Sam and Brittany dancing…

"That was an apocalyptic action, that doesn't count", Sam said, flexing his biceps. "For the record, if a meteor would crash onto the earth now and we only had ten minutes to live or so I would totally marry you."

"Well… thank you. I guess", Blaine said and no, he was not blushing. Sam could talk a donkey's hint leg off when nobody stopped him. Blaine shifted uncomfortably on the bed he was sitting on.

"Although ten minutes aren't enough to get ready to marry. Maybe we would just get it on."

"Hmhm", Blaine made, looking at his fingers. The situation was only that much away from getting awkward – okay it already was – and he seriously considered reminding Sam that his words were not helping.

"Do you think I'm hot?" Sam took off his jacket and stared at his white shirt in the mirror.

Blaine cleared his throat. "You know I do."

"How would I know? You never tell me."

"Sam… remember last week? When we talked about… my crush..." Blaine mumbled the last words.

"Of course I remember. But you haven't acted different since then", Sam said.

Blaine frowned to himself. Why would he act different?

"So maybe you've realised I'm not that attractive anyway." Sam kept on talking. He turned around and spread his arms. "Well?"

"Well…" Blaine said, looking at Sam's expectant face. "You are. You are so hot I regularly have to catch my breath and remind myself to not stare at you. Happy now?"

"Yes!" Sam clenched his fists and grinned like an idiot. Then he started to undo the buttons on his shirt and Blaine discreetly turned around. No, that boy really had no sense of awkwardness at all.

"So what will you do tomorrow?", he asked while Blaine was busy browsing a comic book he'd found lying on Sam's bed.

"I don't know. Homework, I guess", Blaine said. "Maybe go for a coffee at the Lima Bean."

"Just don't fall in love with other guys."

"Okay, Sam, that's enough", Blaine said. He put the comic down and turned around to look at the blond boy who was in everyday clothes now, putting his suit on a coat hanger.

"What?", he asked.

"It's really nice that you are okay with my crush but I'm not okay to constantly talk about it", Blaine said.

"Dude, I was joking."

"Well, stop it. And just for your record: If I'd fall in love with another boy and would want to date him, that's okay. That won't change anything between us, Sam, because we are not dating."

"Duh. If we were I wouldn't let you go to that bar were all the Warblers are."

Blaine sighed deeply and ran a hand over his face. Maybe it was time to go home, let Sam get off of all that sugar he was on due to the cookies they had eaten.

"But I get it, okay", Sam said. "You can go wherever you want. Just remember the Warblers are cheaters. I'm just saying!", he added as he met Blaine's eyes. He sat down next to him.

"If you would date one of them they would break your heart and then I'd have to comfort you again, just like after your breakup with Kurt, it's history repeating itself", Sam said, gesturing and looking around the room.

"That's not gonna happen", Blaine said.

"Do you still love Kurt?"

"Sam, I think Brittany is waiting for you call, look!" Blaine gave Sam his phone that had laid on his bedside table with one missed call from the mentioned girl. The blond boy took it and got up, so Blaine breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to think about Kurt right now. Only for two month now he had finally managed to not think of him every day and the pain had faded away, leaving slight regret and guilt because the breakup had been Blaine's fault. Of course it was useless to blame himself, so he just avoided thinking about it.

And he wouldn't tell Sam. They've been through this before and at this time it only would be weird, considering the fact that Blaine could easier let go of Kurt when he thought of Sam and how his hands would feel on his body.

"So! Where were we?" Sam threw his phone on the bed and himself right next to it. Unfortunately, the phone dashed above the surface and fell to the ground on the other side.

"Oh damn", Sam said, slightly bending over to look at it. Blaine pulled his legs up and leaned against the head piece behind him.

"Never mind, it looks okay", Sam said. He folded his arms behind his neck and laid back, staring at the ceiling for a moment. Then his eyes fell on Blaine, his head turning a bit.

"And?"

"What?", Blaine wanted to know. He felt silly sitting while Sam was lying, but that was his crush speaking, he certainly wouldn't lay down now and cuddle up to Sam, that was just… not an option.

"Do you still love him?"

"I don't know", Blaine said, honestly meaning it. Sam nodded and looked at the ceiling again. They went silent for a few moments. Blaine relaxed a bit and rested his head on the bed piece, too.

"It's complicated. Because we never really talked about it. First Kurt was so mad and after that all our meetings were kind of superficial and we were avoiding topics that would bring back the pain", he said, and even quieter: "It doesn't feel like it's over."

"Do you think… you will be back together at some point?"

Blaine shrugged. "Only a month ago I would've said yes. But now I think… maybe it feels like that because we haven't had a real closure."

"Hm", Sam made. Blaine sighed again with relief. It felt good talking about stuff, it always did and still he postponed it every time until the last minute, until someone made him to.

"Well, maybe…", Sam started. Blaine turned his head to meet his gaze, and Sam lifted himself up onto his elbows.

"Maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to date someone. I mean, so you can see if this is what you want or if you want Kurt back", he said.

"I wouldn't want to date somebody just for that", Blaine said, feeling his cheeks heat up. He avoided Sam's eyes now because both of them knew that the only person Blaine would consider dating was in this very room, was straight, had a girlfriend, and what not.

"Why? You can't always wait for feelings, sometimes you have to make them. What about Sebastian?"

"I thought the Warblers were all cheaters?"

"Yeah, well, maybe that makes it okay to test-date him, doesn't it?"

"No!", Blaine said, shaking his head.

"People always have dates without knowing whether they'll love the other person or not. Hey, what about a blind date!?" Sam sat up straight now and rubbed his hands. "I can help you find someone. We can go to the Lima Bean right now!"

"Sam…"

But there was no stopping the blond now and Blaine gave in, letting himself be dragged to the café.

He just hoped it wouldn't get too awkward.
