Untitled Blaine/Sebastian Project That Will Rock
Chapter 1: Last First Day of High School Part I
Blaine sighed as he adjusted the strap on his shoulder. McKinley High School stood before him, almost mocking the lack of designer dressed company at his side. Kurt had been gone for two weeks, gallivanting around New York City, carefree and Blaine-free.
It had been a hard two weeks for Blaine. He missed his boyfriend dearly. Wasn't senior year supposed to be one of celebration? Of freedom? If so, then why did he feel so depressed and stuck? All he wanted was to blink and find himself on the east coast with his boyfriend. Instead, he was stuck in Ohio for another year while his boyfriend was living in a city full of talented, good-looking gay men to keep Kurt occupied. It wasn't that Blaine didn't trust Kurt. He had learned his lesson with the whole Chandler debacle that jealousy would only drive him crazy, and them apart; no, he just didn't like the idea of Kurt having a buffet of distractions surrounding him—he was going to a performing arts school for goodness sake!
He remembered the day that Kurt showed up at his front door screaming and waving a piece of paper around. Until that point, Kurt had planned on taking classes at the community college before applying to NYADA again the following Fall. While Blaine felt bad that his boyfriend's dreams didn't come true the moment he read his rejection letter with Finn and Rachel only a few months earlier, he was secretly relieved that he wouldn't be separated from Kurt. Was that selfish?
Blaine frowned as he walked from his math class to his locker to pick up his Spanish book. His thoughts kept him distracted from the pandemonium happening around him. Students had crowded around a fight in the hallway as some of the Hockey jocks displayed their male dominance over an unlucky freshman. Blaine walked past the mob, completely unaware of the scene. He also missed the concerned look and friendly wave directed at him from Tina.
"Blaine!"
The shout pulled him out of his brain just as his fellow New Directions member joined him.
"Hey Tina," Blaine replied.
"You ok? You just walked past the Neanderthals of McKinley picking on some kid."
Blaine looked over his shoulder and saw the crowd dissipating as Mr. Schue pulled two of the jocks and headed towards the main office.
"Oh, I hope he's ok," Blaine noted as he watched the boy following the Glee club leader and his attackers. Blaine looked back at Tina and offered her a smile. "I guess I'm just missing Kurt." Another sigh, "I didn't exactly picture my senior year to be spent missing someone who is hundreds of miles away while I'm stuck here in small-town Ohio."
Tina nodded her understanding. "Ah, well then, I can relate," she replied with a teasing smile.
Blaine scolded himself as he turned to his friend with an embarrassed expression.
"Tina! I'm so sorry. Here I am complaining about Kurt when you're spending your senior year without Mike." Blaine offered an apologetic smile, hoping he hadn't offended his friend too much. "You must think I'm incredible insensitive…" His voice trailed off as he stared at the ground.
"Calm down, Blaine," came the response with a light laugh. "I'm not offended. Actually, out of everyone left in Glee, I probably understand the most. It's easy to not see past your own situation. I know when Mike first left, I felt like my world was caving in." The last phrase was said with dramatic arm movements that only served to make Blaine laugh, their intended effect. "But hey, we're teenagers. I think we're wired to not see beyond our own problems. If we were constantly sensitive to everyone around us we'd be…" Tina paused as she looked around, exaggerating her actions and bringing another smile to Blaine's face, "well…we'd be grown-ups."
Blaine laughed when she whispered her last few words. He put on a very serious face as he frowned at her in disapproval. "Don't you dare utter those words in my presence ever again." He was encouraged as Tina let out her own laughter. "We don't use dirty words like that here at McKinley."
The two laughed as they continued walking comfortably down the hallway and into the Spanish classroom. Tina turned to Blaine after they sat down.
"How often have you and Kurt been talking?" she asked.
Blaine sighed as he stared down at his books. "That's the thing, we've barely talked these past two weeks. I mean, I get that he's just starting a new school, a new life. I know that it's probably a lot to take in and get used to, but is it really that hard to find 20 minutes at the end of your day to call your boyfriend?"
Tina looked at her friend and could see his frustration playing across his face. She didn't blame him for being distracted earlier. If Mike ever ignored her the way it sounded that Kurt was, there would be one very sorry Asian in Chicago.
"How little is 'barely'?"
Blaine turned to look at Tina, a scowl on his features as his eyes looked past her, almost as if he were reliving a memory.
"We talked the night he got into New York, once a couple days after that, and then we talked three nights ago. We've texted back and forth a few times in between, but that's pretty much it." He paused as he played with the pencil in his hand. "I never thought I was the needy-type before this, but am I? It's not like I need to talk to him every night, but is it so bad to want him to want to talk to me every night?"
Tina offered a lopsided smile. "No, it's not so bad. Isn't that something we all want? Everyone wants to feel wanted or needed. It's basic human psychology." She reached over and grabbed Blaine's hand. He looked down at their entwined fingers and smiled back at the girl.
"Maybe you just need to be a little patient. The beginning of school is going to be the hardest for Kurt. He's getting used to his new classes and trying to get his schedule down. The best thing you could do right now is to just be patient and get your own schedule figured out. It's senior year!" She punctuated her statement by squeezing his hand and smiling, garnering a smile in return.
"Let's not let our boyfriends distract us from the fact that it's our last first day of high school! Besides, weren't you talking about joining the lacrosse team this year?" Blaine nodded his agreement. "Worry about getting on the team. Worry about Glee. Worry about passing your classes. But most importantly," Tina leaned in closer before continuing, "worry about how much money we're going to spend when we go to the mall after school and indulge in a little retail therapy."
Blaine laughed as he shook his head. Their teacher had begun class and was explaining their syllabus in Spanish, a true waste of his time seeing as no one in the class understood what he was saying.
Blaine didn't notice Tina pull out her cell phone and type out an angry text message to Kurt.
::Call your boyfriend jerk!...P.S. HI! :)::
Blaine smiled as he stared out the window. Sure, Kurt was far away and not exactly communicating on a daily basis, but Tina was right: school was just starting and he was getting his life sorted out. Pretty soon, they'd be talking and laughing as if this situation never happened! Maybe Blaine's senior year wouldn't be as bad as he thought.
Author's Note: I would just like to say thank you for reading this. I haven't written anything in a really long time, but after reading a bunch of Blaine/anyone who isn't Kurt stories for the past month or so, I figured I'd give it a shot. Please let me know what you think in a review. I don't have any of this pre-written, so it'd be fun to have suggestions from you (assuming SOMEONE is reading this) that I could add into the story. I'm aiming to keep the chapters on the shorter side so that I'll be more likely to update this fairly regularly. I'm planning to just crank them out and post them, then going over it to proof and fix typos and mistakes maybe the next day. My main goal is to just get chapters posted.
As you can tell by my admission of pairing preferences, I'm not the biggest Kurt Hummel fan, so obviously this is not a Klaine story (also evident from the description for the story). This will be a Blaine/Sebastian story. Originally in my head, it was a Blaine/OC story, but I just felt like more people would enjoy the story it was about two established characters. So we'll see how it goes.
Next Chapter: We get a peek at Sebastian's first day of senior year. Look forward to lots of made up things because I have no clue how to write Dalton-life or Warblers. Soooo…..it may be amusing.
Happy reviewing!
