Chapter 2
The newly acquainted friends were drinking coffee at the Lima Bean that afternoon. Blaine found out that Noah basically knew everything there is to know about him.
Blaine was surprised, someone like Noah knew so much about him. It was obvious he did some research on Blaine before they even friends. Friends? There's no way their friends. Who wants to be friends with a nerd like himself? Blaine thought. It was freaky, yet flattering at the same time to have someone not related, know you so well.
What does Noah really want? Why does he have to know so much about me? "So, what's the catch here? Obviously, you want something from me right? And how come you know so much about me? …I'm very certain, you have an…ulterior motive for bringing me here," rambled Blaine, trying to make it sound less like an interrogation.
"Woah, woah. Chill dude, I swear there's no catch. But you're quite right, I do happen to have an ulterior motive," Noah surrender.
"You really think I'm that clueless? You drove me all the way here to buy me a cup of coffee and then you tell me that you have other reasons for bringing me here," Blaine panicked and he was about to stand up and leave but Noah stopped him, "You really have to idea, Blaine."
"What?"
"Please, sit down, let me explain," Blaine did not get up from his chair, instead he relaxed a bit.
"The truth is that, I like you. I really really like you. That's why I asked you out for coffee, because…I know you love coffee." "You're freaking me out right now," said Blaine in a serious tone. "I'm not playing some kind of sick game to make you go out with me, I swear. I just wanted you to know that I'm not the kind of guy, everyone think I am."
Blaine thought for a second, he needed time to think about what Noah said. He has to make a decision quick, but he did not want Noah to be upset. "Honestly, I don't …I'm not ready."
Noah gently touched Blaine's hand, he smiled and leaned in closer a few inches towards Blaine and said softly, "It's okay. But don't think that I will give up that easily." Blaine swallowed a lump in his throat, and slowly pulled his hand from under Noah's hand. "I think we better go now. The tyre shop closes at 7 today and it's getting late. I have to get home or my mum will be worried."
They both stood up and headed towards the door. Noah happened to be staring at Blaine's ass as he followed from behind. As soon as they walked out of the place, Noah commented on Blaine's ass and told him how sexy it looked. Blaine shrugged at those words and he walked faster to the car. A shiver went down his spine, it made him touch the back of his neck. He is going to have to get used to that.
During Algebra the next day, Blaine heard shouting and banging on the lockers. They were coming from outside the classroom. It sounded like someone was getting beaten up and then he heard a teacher shouting, trying to break the fight. It sounded like Coach Beiste. "It must be Noah," Blaine thought. He was always getting into trouble. Blaine shook his head and ignored the whole incident, it was embarrassing to know that someone who always creates trouble, has fallen in love with you.
Later that day, during a free period, Blaine heard someone calling him as he was walking along the hallway to find his friend, Tine. They had planned to hang out and work on their glee assignment for the week together.
"Hey, Blaine. Wait up!" Blaine turned around and saw that Noah was running trying to catch up. Blaine sighed.
"I was wondering if you could help me with some algebra assignment, I know you're very smart, please. It's due today." "Why should I help you Noah?" Blaine crossed his arms. "Dude, what's with the cold shoulder? What did I do?"
"Don't pretend Noah, I know you got into trouble earlier, for fighting with someone. Luckily, Coach Beiste was around to stop it. Clearly, you don't deserve my help," Blaine said and looked away. "Huh? I have NO idea what you're talking about. I did no such thing. I was in history lesson in the third level, didn't even know there was a fight going on here."
Blaine was shocked, "well I, I guess I…I'm sorry. I didn't mean to accuse you." He felt so embarrassed and stupid to say those things to Noah without any prove.
"It's fine, but really harsh though. I'm kinda hurt…" Noah tried to seem hurt, he placed his hand on his chest over his heart and then pout his lip. He looked like an adorable, sad puppy.
"Oh, alright, I guess I COULD help you with algebra, to make it up to you." Noah smirked, "thanks dude." He patted Blaine on the shoulder. "So how about the choir room? It's nice and quiet." Blaine gave Tina a quick text to cancel their plans, and then he and Noah went to the choir room to complete Noah's Algebra assignment.

"So, x is equals to two or negative three. Understand?" "What? There are two answers to one question? That's stupid." "It's algebra and it's not stupid. You just need to practice." Noah scratched his head, "Okay, if you say so. Besides, you're the genius here," Noah gave in.
Blaine blushed. "ANYWAY-"
"Can we like take a break for a minute? My brain is wrecked." Noah frowned. "Sure," replied Blaine, he wiped away the writings on the whiteboard and took a seat at the piano. "You know how to play? The piano I mean," Noah began a casual conversation. He closed his textbook and walked over towards Blaine.
"Yeah, but I prefer the guitar, I guess it's more…ME." Blaine pressed the keys, playing a simple tune. "Cool." Noah sat beside him, they were sitting very close. Too close, Blaine thought.
He cleared his throat and looked down on the keys.
"Can you teach me?"
"What? The piano?" Noah nodded.
"Okay, I guess I can teach you the basics. Um…put your fingers like this on that end, yes like that. Then, press down the keys one by one from the left." Noah followed Blaine's instructions and pressed the keys one by one. "That's G…A, B, C, and…no, you have to put your fingers on the keys, like this." Blaine positioned Noah's hand correctly, touching his hand gently. Blaine leaned in closer to do so. Noah grinned. He breathed in quite loudly. Blaine smelled nice, he wondered what soap he uses. He smelled so sweet, like sunflowers.
Blaine suddenly realised he was over-stepping. "Oh, sorry," he apologised and let go of Noah's hand. "It's fine." They both looked at each other for a moment, their faces only a few inches apart. Blaine blinked out of the trance, he looked away and stood up. "Um, we better continue with your assignment. It's almost the next period," he spoke too fast. Noah stared at Blaine, as Blaine walked over to the whiteboard. He held Noah's paper in his hand reading the next question and then writing down the steps on the whiteboard. His heart was racing and he didn't know why he felt that way. It felt nice. It felt like something he never experienced before.
Noah's eyes were filled with lust, he could not resist taking his eyes off Blaine. He truly wanted to be Blaine's boyfriend, now. More than ever. The way Blaine looked at him says it all. He felt it too. And he's going to do all he can to make that happen. He just needed to spend more time with him and woo him 'til Blaine belongs to him.
