A/N: So, FINALLY got this up after a few days of my computer acting weird. It kept saying I updated this story when I never did. But hey, it got me more reviews!
Here's the second installment after watching the actual episode. I thought it was pretty good. A little less RACHEL AND FINN THE CAMERA WHORES OF GLEE getting all the good scenes would've been nice, but that's impossible to ask out of at least ONE EPISODE, isn't it?
They're staring at you. Don't panic. Don't. Just keep walking. Find Kurt and keep walking.
Blaine had tried, and failed, to get passed Brittany with his hair still coated with gel. Brittany had caught him about three minutes after they walked through the door.
"Honestly, Blaine, no one is going to care about your hair," Kurt tried to reassure him as soon as Blaine found out he had to go wash out his curls.
"At least you've seen my hair after I brushed it. I don't have a comb! I'm going to look like Medusa!" Blaine whispered frantically.
"Blaine, you won't know until you wash it out," Kurt urged. So Blaine, not having much of a choice, walked miserably to the bathroom to wash out his hair.
It took him nearly fifteen minutes to get all the gel out and let his curls loose. He looked ridiculous. At least when he was at home or when he had his afro he could tame it. He didn't have a brush! He couldn't do anything! He either went out there like this, looking like someone trying to impersonate a poodle , or he didn't go out at all. Kurt was waiting for him…
Blaine walked back into the gym, feeling his stomach twist as judging eyes turned on him.
"I almost didn't recognize you, Curly Sue," Kurt's voice whispered from behind him, causing Blaine to jump.
"I look so bad," Blaine moaned, turning around to bury his face in Kurt's shoulder.
"Here, face me." Blaine put his head up and stared into Kurt's eyes sulkily. "Your hair looks so natural, Blaine. I love it. It's the real Blaine, instead of the Blaine hiding behind the product."
Blaine smiled slightly, happy that he could always count on Kurt to never judge him, even if he did look like a perm specialist.
Kurt reached out his arms to give Blaine a hug, and Blaine warmly accepted it, needing some comfort.
"Kurt, you really shouldn't hug the new hippie girl, I heard perms have tiny aliens inside of them." Brittany pranced over in her tux/dress, looking afraid for Kurt. "And where's Blaine?"
"Brittany, this is Blaine." Kurt sounded annoyed. "Without the hair gel."
"Oh my goodness, Blaine! Do you have a forest growing out of your head?"
Blaine put his head down, looking dejected . "Is it really that bad?" Blaine knew his curls were crazy, but a forest? Really?
Brittany started to nod before Kurt gave her a look that immediately made her shut up. "No, it does not look bad at all."
"Can we leave now?" Blaine asked softly.
"Not before you dance with me." Kurt grabbed his hand and started leading him toward the dance floor, where all their friends and classmates would see what a complete dork he really is.
Kurt moved him to the middle of the room and wrapped his arms around Blaine's neck as soon as Mercedes started to sing a very slow, yet slightly depressing, love song. For a few moments Blaine just stood there, wondering if he should just walk out. But after a reassuring nod from Kurt he finally wrapped his arms around Kurt's waist and started swaying to the music.
Blaine continued to look around nervously to see if anyone was staring at him, but Kurt quickly became fed up and moved Blaine's head to rest against his.
"Kurt, maybe we shouldn't be this close-"
"I don't care if people are staring at us anymore. And you shouldn't, either. Besides, if people look at us they won't be focusing on your hair, they'll be focusing on the fact that two guys are dancing with each other and don't care who watches. I love you, Blaine, curly hair and all. I want people to know that."
Blaine blinked back tears, finally nodding in agreement and just letting himself go. Letting himself be absorbed in Kurt and not paying attention to whether people were staring.
Because even if people thought he looked weird because of his hair, Kurt didn't. Kurt loved his curly head and the rest of him. And that made Blaine happy.
It made Blaine forget.
And he needed to forget.
D'you like it? Should I make more one-shots? TELL KELLY WHAT YOU THINK!
