Can I just say this story is highly unorthodox? It is different from what I usually do. I love Klaine as much as any fans, but Blaine deserves a straight side too. And who better than his equally female counterpart, Rachel Barbra Berry. That is why this story will be based on the three seconds of amazing wonder I saw for the Blame It on the Alcohol episode. You know what I'm talking about. The infamous Raine (Blaine/Rachel) kiss. I am going to explore that a little more. I really liked what I saw on that promo.
I'm not sure if this will be a one or two shot, but we'll see. Please R&R.
The First Time
Rachel Berry realized that she was in love with the wrong guy. It felt wrong and it also looked wrong. Basically, it was just plain wrong in Rachel's eyes.
There were only two times in the life of Rachel Berry that she had ever gotten drunk. In those two times, she made the biggest mistakes of her life. Yet, she enjoyed every second of those mistakes. In those two mistakes, it always seemed to involve breaking the heart of Kurt Hummel, her BFFL, in ways she never hoped to imagine. That was her regret in the mistakes. Sadly, each of her biggest mistakes seemed to involve Blaine Anderson.
The first time Rachel Berry was drunk, it was a couple of years ago. It took place during her junior year in high school. Because her fathers were out of town for a business trip, Puck managed to persuade her to throw a house party. Puck mentioned about bringing alcoholic beverages (looking depressed in front of the 7-Eleven must've worked), which Rachel then suspected the reason for Puck bringing alcohol was because he wanted to sleep with high school girls. Strangely enough, his eyes were set on Lauren Zises, which was really abnormal.
Rachel soon changed her mind. It was a means to launch her back into the social stratosphere again, even though it was only exclusive to the Glee club. At least, her status in the Glee club would grow, she thought. If it meant throwing a party, Rachel was going to throw one hell of party: The Rachel Berry House Party Train Wreck Extravaganza.
True to his word, Puck brought alcohol…lots of them. Though it was mainly beer, Puck found his way into Rachel's fathers' personal liquor cabinet. The beer keg laid forlorn and forgotten on Rachel's kitchen table; what was replaced was Puck and Santana pulling out bottles after bottles of liquors out of the cabinet as they started experimenting on different kind of drinks. Rachel accepted a cup from Puck, who hinted that he knew exactly what her poison was. He didn't, however, bother to tell her that he mixed in four different bottles of the strongest liquors in the house, topped off with a Coke and a lime/umbrella for her viewing pleasure. Rachel, who didn't trust Puck at all, did not take one sip from her drink. Merely, she held it in her hand and started to mingle around with her friends.
Rachel noticed that Finn kept looking at her while he was talking to Quinn. Rachel did not know if they were dating again or just being friends, but she realized it didn't matter anymore. She was trying to escape her feelings for Finn. She knew she just had to get away from him for awhile. Take a breather because she was too boy crazy. She needed some time alone. During the mingling, Rachel kept looking at the door, waiting for more guests to arrive (minus the police). Then, he arrived.
It was actually kinda weird seeing him out of his usual uniform attire, but the burgundy Polo sweater and jeans really matched him and it made him look really cute, Rachel mused. Seeing Kurt enter with Blaine was the highlight of the party. Rachel had no clue if they were together or not, but they seemed awfully close to each other.
"Hey," Rachel called out, running to meet Kurt and Blaine, "Thank you guys for coming."
"I wouldn't have missed it for the world, darling," Kurt replied with a hearty laugh.
"Nice to meet you again, Rachel," Blaine said, giving Rachel a hug and flashing one of the sexiest smiles Rachel had ever seen. If only he wasn't gay, Rachel sighed.
Rachel, detecting that her heart had just stopped from the cuteness, gestured both Kurt and Blaine toward the drinks table, which were being manned by Puck and Santana.
Kurt, however, waved his hand and shook his head.
"No, ma'am," Kurt started, "I will not partake in these kinds of frivolous drinking of sorts. I will enjoy myself with a bottle of water." With that, he swiped a water bottle from the table, the only one taken that night.
Blaine laughed, "Kurt, You're such a spoilsport. I'll have what she's having," pointing towards Rachel's drink while winking at her, catching Rachel by surprise. Kurt pouted his face and strutted off to talk to Mercedes and Tina.
"Coming right up, Blake," Puck answered.
"Blaine," Blaine corrected.
"Psh. Whatever," Puck muttered while mixing Blaine's drink.
"So what are you drinking?" Blaine asked, turning his attention toward Rachel.
"I have no earthly idea. Puck just shoved it into my hand. It's my first time," Rachel replied, causing Blaine to laugh.
"Drinking, I hope. Mine too. I guess we'll find out soon. You have to drink this with me though. I don't want to die by myself," Blaine joked, accepting the cup from Puck.
"All right," Rachel sighed. She honestly didn't want Blaine to feel left out. It was his first time having fun with them after all.
"So what shall we cheer to?" Blaine asked, raising his cup.
"To a long and prosperous life?" Rachel guessed.
"Um, too soon. How about to a good night cause I got a feeling?" Blaine said trying to fake an auto-tune voice, but sounding like a cross between a space alien and a robot.
"You are so lame," Rachel laughed, moving the cup to hit Blaine's cup as they both began to sip from their drinks.
The response was the same: a cough followed by laughter as the alcohol rushed quickly to their brains.
"That was pretty good. Wouldn't you say?" Blaine said, recovering from his first drink.
"Hmm," Rachel asked back, not hearing the question the first time because she was too busy focusing on Sam singing a terrible rendition of "My Achy Breaky Heart".
"You wanna sing?" Blaine asked, pointing towards the karaoke machine.
"You mean as a duet?" Rachel replied.
"Yeah, sure. You usually need two people to sing a duet."
"I'm sorry, Blaine, but aren't you gay?"
"Excuse me, Miss Berry, last I check, duets never seem to have any sexual preferences. Besides, didn't Elton John, who's gay, sing "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" with Kiki Dee, a woman?"
Rachel thought for a moment before responding, "I guess you're right. Seems kind of weird. Don't you want to sing with Kurt though?"
"Please, Kurt and I sing flirty duets together all the time. So come on. You wanna sing or not?"
"All right, all right," Rachel replied while nodding her head, "What song?"
"How about something funny? Show what these guys what real singing is while mixing a joke in it or two. Maybe The Human League's "Don't You Want Me?" Blaine said with a smile.
"Really? Have you read the lyrics? I'm going to be laughing so much up there, I don't even know if I can sing the song seriously."
"Well this should help," Blaine said, holding his cup and chugging it down in one gulp. Rachel stood there, amazed at the feat.
"H-h-how can you do that? That looks impossible."
Blaine crushed his cup and looked at her with wide-opened eyes. He was definitely feeling the buzz kicking in.
"Close your eyes and just go, go, go," Blaine replied, "Just do it."
Rachel made an unattractive face as she closed her eyes. For the next hour, Rachel could not remember exactly what happened. She remembered key points however. She remembered going up on that stage and singing the song with Blaine. She remembered the audience, especially Kurt and Finn looking rather livid at the performance. She remembered after the song was finished and audience clapped their hand, Blaine fell off the stage, laughing, causing her to laugh along with him. Then she remembered her mistake: suggest playing "Spin the bottle". The weird thing was she remembered exactly what happened during the game. She still felt drunk, but both she and Blaine were totally conscious with what happened.
At first, the others were making fun of the notion, seeing "Spin the bottle" as a younger kids' game, but as soon as a drunken Santana and semi-drunk Brittany started making out, everyone started to join in on the game. Blaine sat right next to Rachel…well, Kurt was in between them, trying to separate them after their duet earlier. Hopefully, Kurt wasn't jealous, Rachel thought sipping from her refilled drink. When Kurt spun the bottle, he expected it to land on Blaine as he so wanted his first "real" kiss to be with Blaine, but it didn't. It landed on Brittany, which allowed Kurt to relive his first kiss ever again. Kurt gave her a quick peck on the cheek. Brittany clapped her hand in giddiness as she spun the bottle, landing on Rachel. Even though she was drunk and lost most of her inhibition, Rachel made a move towards Brittany before Brittany held her hands up.
"Hold on. I don't want to kiss a midget. Aren't they poisonous?" Brittany said innocently.
Disappointed, Rachel sat back down and spun her bottle. Blaine gave her glance while shrugging his shoulders that seemed to say, "It's all right. You'll get your turn again." He was right. The bottle landed on him.
A few murmurs came in the room as everyone soon became silent to see if this was going to actually happen. Kurt had a shocked look on his face. To this day, Rachel couldn't remember where it began. She knew she was the one to initiate it. Rachel remembered grabbing onto Blaine's shirt and pulled him in for a sloppy-mushed kiss. That kiss, however, did not feel like what she had imagined. She kissed a gay guy once during music camp during the summer. It was innocent, but it also sucked. This kiss was not; it was out of this world. There were literally no words, Rachel realized, to describe what it was like. Dare she say it, it was better than Finn kissing her.
As the slow, but pleasurable seconds dragged on, Rachel felt Blaine's hand on her head, pulling her closer towards his lips as he stroked his hand seductively on her silky hair.
"Okay, that's enough," Kurt laughed awkwardly, putting his hands on the shoulders of Blaine and Rachel to pull them apart.
Fireworks. That could be something to describe the kiss, Rachel thought. It was what Finn told her when he kissed Quinn.
No. It was something more than fireworks. It was too amazing as the both of them pulled out from their kiss, their lips still tingling from their somewhat drunken encounter. Their reactions were instantaneous. Rachel's face scrunched up as she gazed at Blaine and Kurt. Blaine had the same reaction as well. It seemed as though both Blaine and Rachel felt the same thing at that moment: confusion.
"I need some air," Blaine said suddenly, standing up and running out into Rachel's backyard. Everyone was still silent from that hot kiss they had just seen.
Rachel felt embarrassed at the moment. She kissed a gay dude, but worse, she liked it. Rachel glanced over at Kurt, who had a hurt look on his face. She could feel that he was close to tears. And at the moment, she realized that Kurt was really important to her. She made a vow to never make Kurt jealous anymore as she placed her hand on Kurt's shoulder to comfort him. She promised to never break his heart again.
Rachel never realized that she did exactly that in three years time during her sophomore year in college. Again, it was with Blaine. The both of them were caught with their pants down…literally.
