AN: hey this is my first ever fan-fic so please give me some form of criticism. Sure, I may act like a bitch about later, but I will appreciate it!
By the way, I do not own Everwood or any of its characters. I just own the plot of this story and Blake Arlington. (Boy that sounds funny; I own someone!)
Chapter One: Recognition
Kyle Hunter couldn't stop himself. There was just something about the way Blake played that made his heart stop beating. Blake Arlington was very talented when it came to music. He could play drums, guitar, trombone, sax, and piano. Blake was a better player than Kyle was, which he had proven on more than one occasion. He was probably a better player than Ephram! Unlike Ephram, though, Blake didn't like to play piano. He preferred the drums and saxophone. There had been many a time when Kyle would sit outside that room and listen to Blake's playing. It sounded... amazing. Kyle found himself wanting to learn how to play the sax for two reasons: 1) so he would be able to play beautiful music the way Blake did; 2) so he could spend time alone with him. Kyle shook his head as those thoughts entered his mind. He did not have a crush on Blake. He couldn't; just couldn't.
"Kyle?" a voice softly spoke. Kyle froze; he just realized that the music had stopped. Jumping up, he realized that Blake had been finished practicing a while ago. "What are you doing here?"
"Uh... I was, well," Kyle began to blush slightly. This did not go by unnoticed by Blake. He grinned Kyle's favorite grin. "It's alright. It's nice to have an audience every once in a while." Blake looked around and chuckled. "Even if it's only just one person." Kyle couldn't help but smile. Blake's eyebrows furrowed out of confusion. "So, do you have a ride home?"
"Umm... I was gonna call Ephram seeing as I have a lesson..." Kyle stopped as Blake touched his face softly. Another blush came over Kyle. "Um, you know, I'm pretty sure Ephram would be a lot, um, happier if I had someone else bring me." Blake put his hand down and continued to grin. "Cool." As they began to walk off, Blake added, " You know, you're really cute when you blush." He winked and continued to walk towards his car. Kyle let go of a breath that he did not know he had been holding. Maybe, he thought, maybe I do have a crush on Blake. Just maybe. I'm not confessing of anything. And with that, Kyle followed Blake to his car, a smile plastered on his face.
