Chapter 1: When i get you alone
~flashback~
"You're buying a vogue magazine now?" Jeremiah said looking around "can't you just buy it some other time? People might think we're-"
"That we're what, Jeremiah?" Blaine couldn't believe it, how many times have they argued about this? "that we're gay?"
"Shhhh!" Suddenly Jeremiah's eyes were wide "Shit. That's not what I meant Blaine, you know that"
~end of flashback~
Sadly Blaine did understand. He knew Jeremiah liked him, that was why they got together last Valentine's day but he was so far in the closet to even show it in the public. As much as he hated PDA, he wasn't repulsed by being intimate in private, quite the opposite actually. Which is why it was so hard for Blaine. Ofcourse he knew being with someone means they would do physical stuff but he had always thought it would come naturally, that he would want it just as much as Jeremiah does but no, Jeremiah had to almost always plead for them to do something to satisfy his needs. Jeremiah was his first in many ways though they never had full on penetrative sex. It wasn't the fact that Blaine was a minor and Jeremiah wasn't. Blaine just wasn't ready and it frustrated Jeremiah to no end.
Two problems that caused their relationship to fall. Jeremiah Hated PDA while Blaine was out and proud of who he was and the fact that Jeremiah had a never ending sex drive. They were so opposite but they were together for 8 months, it had to mean something right?
Blaine hated to think that he was only in love with the thought of having a boyfriend. He hated to think that the main reason Jeremiah accepted to be his boyfriend is because the song he sang was suggestive and not the fact that Blaine actually serenaded him. He hated to think of those things because he knew they were partly, if not fully, true. He knew they didn't really love each other but that didn't stop anything from hurting.
At first Blaine blushed at the very thought of being intimate with Jeremiah. Sure he was confident with himself and he knew about sex but that didn't mean he wanted to do it right away. It comes when it comes right? But with Jeremiah getting irritated and refusing to talk to him, Blaine had to put out.
Which he now regrets because that was all Jeremiah wanted. The more Blaine felt comfortable about doing things, the less effort Jeremiah put in their relationship. He felt used...and sad.

(Aug 14: Blaine and Jeremiah's 6th month anniversary)
"let's go back to my place" Jeremiah says enthusiastically.
"Jer, even though it's a Friday the dorms at Dalton still have curfew though a bit later compared to Sunday through Thursday nights." Jeremiah frowned "even the charm of your very adorable boyfriend against the disciplinary head has its limits" Blaine says teasingly.
"Dalton students usually go home on Fridays right? Just tell them you went home" Was the dismissive answer.
"But most people that go home stay home until Sunday, they won't let me in at around midnight. They'll report it to my parents." Blaine said as he slid his credit card to the bill folder and handed it to the waitress who was looking at him like he was a piece of a meat, his date was not even bothered by it. He had invited Jeremiah to a fancy dinner for this special occasion. Jeremiah, being a working college student rarely went to fancy places like this and was more than delighted. Blaine was so caught up with pleasing Jeremiah that the thoughts of his boyfriend being more enthusiastic about eating out than being with him didn't even cross his mind.
"I left Dalton at around 6pm. Going back after midnight only to say that my parents weren't home..I don't know"
"Who says you'll go home midnight?" With Blaine's confused face Jeremiah added "well, I guess if you don't want to sleep at my place"
"NO!..Jer, I, uhhm..sleep at your place, I'd love to" This was such a big step for them. Sleeping beside someone, cuddling, waking up next to each other and having breakfast together... "Thank you"
"It's the least I can do, virgin or not you're going to be a bit sore after, you can just go back to Dalton in the morning". Jeremiah stated like he was just talking about the weather.
Moment ruined. "You think we're having sex?"
"Hey maybe you could cook for me, you've always mentioned how amazing your pancakes are, now's your chance to prove it. I just have to be at work by 8 so you're gonna have to leave before then. I've always wanted to wake up with food already on the table, you know?"
Again. "You think we're having sex?"
"Well, yeah. Isn't this a special occasion? I mean with the movie and dinner I thought it was your way of-"
"What? No, Jer!" Blaine had to keep from raising his voice. "I'm not ready!"
"c'mon Blaine you paid for the movie and dinner..making you feel good is the least I can do"
"Just..no...I'm sorry, I have to go, curfew's at 11. I'll just..I'll talk to you tomorrow."
~end of flashback~
Blaine stared at the ceiling of his dorm room. Today is November 16, exactly 1 month after he and Jeremiah broke up.
October 16, Blaine went to Jeremiah's apartment for the latter's birthday. He finally got the watch Jeremiah had wanted for a long time but couldn't afford. Blaine was supposed to give it on their 6th month anniversary but he wanted to really pay for it instead of buying it with his parent's money so he got himself hired as a tutor at some tutorial center in Westerville on weekends and used his salary to buy the watch. When he first heard a moan from inside, he panicked. Knowing where Jeremiah usually keeps his spare key, Blaine immediately grabbed it and opened the door.
There were clothes on the floor and what clicked in Blaine's mind was that someone tried to rob Jeremiah's apartment and now has Jeremiah captive in the bedroom. He was certainly wrong. He dropped his bag and searched for the most plausible weapon he could find, a tennis racket. He quickly grabbed it and opened the bedroom door as silently as he could.
Jeremiah was fucking some blonde guy on his bed.
Blaine backed away slowly, eyes turned to stone and dropped the racket. He grabbed his bag and left, not bothering to take with him the watch he was supposed to give to Jeremiah. After a very few hours later he received a text that said "I'm sorry"
He couldn't reply. He felt numb.
There was a knock on his dorm room, a knock so distinct despite not having a pattern that Blaine knew who it was before he heard the "It's Kurt, I'm coming in and you better be decent"
Blaine, despite the depression at least had the decency of finding a shirt to match his Dalton sweatpants and pulling it on just as Kurt entered, blushing at his state of undress. Truth be told he just wanted to wallow in self pity all day but leave it to Kurt to know exactly what he's planning.
"No, Blaine. Get up and get dressed" Kurt said sharply. "I know what today is and I'm not letting you listen to any more Nickelback"
Blaine sighed but followed knowing Kurt means well. Kurt was always there. Right after the 'incident' Blaine had called Kurt and cried his eyes out and Kurt was there, comforting him, not getting angry that his clothes were getting wrinkled or that his shirt was soaked. They cuddled that night on Blaine's bed and because Kurt didn't want to leave Blaine for a second Kurt broke his rule of never wearing sweatpants and borrowed Blaine's clothes for the night. They skipped class the next day, they didn't leave Blaine's dorm room, they didn't do their assignments..they just watched any movie Blaine wanted and Kurt even ate pizza for Blaine. Kurt was there and Kurt is here...dressed impeccably well? Aren't they going to watch movies and cuddle the whole night? I mean, Kurt is here to comfort him right?
"Why are you dressed like that? Are we going somewhere?" Blaine asks as he enters the en suite bathroom taking the outfit Kurt put together from his closet.
"Well, if you must know, we are going to Rachel's" Kurt said rolling his eyes. "She's hosting a party in her basement since her dads are out in like...an hour and a half. C'mon Blaine, we're going to be late!"
As they neared Lima, Kurt glanced at Blaine from the drive seat. "Puck says that he's bringing drinks"
"oh"
"I'm not saying you shouldn't" Kurt said "We all know you have to let loose. After the incident with Jeremiah.." Blaine's flinch didn't go unnoticed "you buried yourself in schoolwork and it's not exactly healthy Blaine"
"Are you telling me to get drunk?"
"No, not exactly. I'm saying that if you do decide to get drunk, it's okay"
"Kurt, I'm not really fond of alcohol, you know that"
"I know but Wes and David are worried that at school you're acting as if nothing happened and at the dorms you just keep on studying and not going out anymore. We agreed that you need the night off and alcohol might help"
Blaine sighed. He actually acted okay so they won't be worried.
"Besides, I'll be the designated driver so don't worry okay? I'll take care of you when something happens" Kurt added
. "maybe a drink or two"

"What is it Satan?"
"Body shots, Hummel, with a little Tana twist" She winked.
"Yey!" Blaine squealed. Shit.
"So here's how it goes, one of you" She said eyeing Blaine and Kurt up and down "Well you, lady lips, seeing as you aren't drinking, will lie on the floor while Blainey-bear here licks the salt up your torso and takes shot after shot until he can't anymore and bites on the lime sitting on your lips. Plain and Simple."
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
