Klaine, The Musical Chapter 2: Addicted to Love, a glee fanfic

A/N So, Friday afternoon, walking home from work in the snow, I paused to thank this guy who was shoveling the sidewalk in front of the building next to the school where I work. It's a 4 ½ block walk for me, and I know that the only section of sidewalk I can always count on to be clear of snow is the one in front of that building and the school. Most of the time I have to walk in the middle of the road because the snow plows haven't even done that street yet.

So I thanked the gentleman, and then proceeded on my way, and the second I stepped off that cleared section of sidewalk, I slipped on a patch of ice in the road, falling and landing hard on my elbow. The only thing that kept me from fracturing the bone was the padded jacket I was wearing. As it was, I managed to damage the joint enough that it began to fill with blood and swell up, causing me to lose the use of that hand for a couple of days. And of course it was my right arm, too.

So please excuse any typos in this chapter! It's rough typing mostly left handed! This is what we didn't see at Dalton during The Comeback episode.

Thank you for the reviews! I am so Happy you guys are liking this so far! I promise I will get back to my other stories after Valentine's day!

Addicted to Love

Blaine watched the pale boy sitting across from him in Warbler practice. Usually Kurt sat beside him during rehearsals, but for the last few days, the countertenor had been sitting with Jeff. Ever since Valentine's Day, the glasz eyed boy seemed to be avoiding him.

He'd stopped by Kurt's dorm room as usual in the mornings, but lately the boy had either already left for breakfast, or said he wasn't ready yet and had sent Blaine on his way. Now he sat here, trying to figure out if he had done something to upset the boy. Did it have anything to do with what Kurt had said that day at the Lima Bean? About liking someone who didn't like him back? Maybe Kurt had been upset that Blaine hadn't been more sympathetic.

And who the heck was it Kurt had been crushing on? He said they hung out all the time and sang flirty duets, but the dark haired Warbler couldn't think of anyone that Kurt hung out with that much. Except him, anyway. And yeah, they sang together a few times, but he didn't think they had been that flirty. Well except when they had done Baby It's Cold Outside, but that was just part of the act. Wasn't it?

The sound of giggles from across the room drew him out of his thoughts, and he saw Jeff lean in and whisper something else to the auburn haired boy, that had him giggling again. Blaine frowned. Could it be Jeff that Kurt was crushing on? And why did that thought make Blaine want to scowl?

Jeff was the class clown, always having to make people laugh. He did have a reputation as something of a flirt, but as far as Blaine knew, the blonde was dating Nick. The same Nick who was out with strep this week. Was Jeff taking the opportunity to fool around while his boyfriend was out sick? Could Kurt be so desperate for affection he'd mess with someone else's boyfriend?

Blaine didn't like that thought. Kurt didn't seem like the type to poach, but the boy was vulnerable. He couldn't help glaring daggers at the taller Warbler as the blonde once again leaned in and whispered something to Kurt.

Blaine clenched his fist.

He's a coldhearted snake lookin into his eyes
Oh, oh he's been telling lies he's a lover boy at play
He don't play by the rules oh, oh, oh
Boy don't play the fool now

You're the one givin' up the love any time he needs it
But you turn your back and then he's off and running with the crowd
You're the one to sacrifice, anything to please him
Do you really think he thinks about you when he's out?

He's a coldhearted snake lookin into his eyes
Oh, oh he's been telling lies he's a lover boy at play
He don't play by the rules oh, oh, oh
Boy don't play the fool now

It was only late last night he was out there sneakin'
Then he called you up to check that you were waiting by the phone
All the world's a candy store
He's been trick or treatin'
When it comes to true love boy with him there's no one home

He's a coldhearted snake lookin into his eyes
Oh, oh he's been telling lies he's a lover boy at play
He don't play by the rules oh, oh, oh
Boy don't play the fool now

You can find somebody better boy
He could only make you cry
You deserve somebody better boy
He's c-cold as ice
Co-co-co-cold hearted oh,ah, ah
Co-co-co-cold hearted snake
Co-co-co-cold hearted oh,ah, ah
Co-co-co-cold hearted snake

He's a coldhearted snake lookin into his eyes
Oh, oh he's been telling lies he's a lover boy at play
He don't play by the rules oh, oh, oh
Boy don't play the fool now

He's a coldhearted snake lookin into his eyes
Oh, oh he's been telling lies
He's a lover boy at play
He don't play by the rules oh, oh, oh
Boy don't play the fool now

Blaine blinked as the meeting was adjourned and the other boys began leaving. He watched Kurt walking away with Jeff, the two of them still laughing about something.

He hadn't realized he was still just sitting there until someone cleared their throat. He turned to find Wes and David standing there with goofy grins on their faces.

David looked at the boy standing beside him. "Do you think he has any clue?"

"None what so ever," Wes replied.

"What are you two talking about?"

I can see what's happening
And he doesn't have a clue

David said, making Blaine frown again. Okay, it almost sounded like the other boy had sang the line.

They'll fall in love and here's the bottom line
Our trio's down to two

Wes nodded, and this time Blaine was certain the Asian boy was singing. Both boys grabbed Blaine by an arm, and walked him out into the hall, where Kurt and Jeff were standing next to the large bay window at the end of the hall, talking animatedly.

The sweet caress of twilight
There's magic everywhere
And with all this romantic atmosphere
Disaster's in the air

Both boys sang in harmony as they pretty much dragged Blaine along with them. Kurt and Jeff climbed the stairs, and the trio followed them.

Can you feel the love tonight?
The peace the evening brings
The world for once in perfect harmony
With all its living things

"Okay, can you guys drop the singing for now? You're kind of creeping me out." Blaine said, cutting the duo off before they could continue.

Wes frowned at him. "Who was singing? I was talking about that second number for Regionals."

David eyed him oddly. "Are you feeling okay, Blaine? You've been acting strange the last few days."

"What do you mean?" Blaine asked, sounding defensive.

"Well," David said, crossing his arms and staring at him. "Ever since the GAP attack failure, you've been moody and snappish."

"I haven't been snappish," Blaine said sullenly.

"Yesterday Trent said good morning, and you told him to take a flying leap," Wes said in a monotone. "Look, we get the fact that you got your heart broken by that Jeremiah jerk, but to tell you the truth, I think you are much better off without him."

Blaine sighed. "Jeremiah didn't break my heart. I've realized that I was just confused about my feelings. I don't even think about it anymore."

"Really?" David asked, sounding unconvinced.

"Really. Kurt helped me see that it was just infatuation, not love."

Wes seemed to have an ah ha moment. "Oh, Kurt helped you realize, huh? Now things are perfectly clear."

The other two boys nodded at each other, but Blaine was even more confused.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

David frowned at Wes. "Is it possible he doesn't even realize?"

Wes shrugged. "Should we tell him?"

"Uh, guys, I'm standing right here."

The Asian and the dark skinned boy just grinned at each other, and walked away. Blaine watched them go, more confused than ever.

With a sigh, he headed into the dining hall for dinner. He spotted Kurt sitting with Jeff, Trent, Thad, and Beatz. They were all laughing at something. Blaine sighed and got in line for his food.

Wes and David were in line in front of him, giving him odd looks, while keeping their faces blank.

Your lights are on, but you're not home
Your mind is not your own
Your heart sweats, your body shakes
Another kiss is what it takes
You can't sleep, you can't eat
There's no doubt, you're in deep
Your throat is tight, you can't breathe
Another kiss is all you need
Ohh oohh

Blaine was so lost in thought he didn't even notice that the two senior boys had sat at the same table with him. He was too busy trying not to glance up at Kurt every five seconds to pay them any attention.

You like to think that you're immune to the stuff...oh yeah
It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough
You know you're gonna have to face it
You're addicted to love

After dinner, Blaine sat in one of the commons, trying to do his homework, but kept getting distracted as Kurt and Jeff walked past, apparently on the way to get coffee. Jeff had asked if he wanted them to bring him a cup. He politely declined. As they left, Wes and David also walked past.

You see the signs, but you can't read
You're runnin' at a different speed
You heart beats in double time
Another kiss and you'll be mine, a one track mind
You can't be saved
Oblivion is all you crave
If there's some left for you
You don't mind if you do
Ohh oohh

Giving up on his homework, Blaine made his way back to his dorm. As he usually did in the evenings, he left his door open in case someone needed to talk to him. He was playing around with his guitar when he heard Kurt and Jeff return from the coffee shop. He had no idea why it took them two hours to get coffee, and he wasn't sure he wanted to know.

He put the guitar up and started gathering his pajamas for bed. Wes and David were passing the open door now.

You like to think that you're immune to the stuff
It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough
You know you're gonna have to face it
You're addicted to love

Slamming the door, he got ready for bed, but sleep eluded him. He kept tossing and turning.

Your lights are on, but you're not home
Your will is not your own
Your heart sweats and teeth grind
Another kiss and you'll be mine
Ohh oohh

You like to think that you're immune to the stuff
It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough
You know you're gonna have to face it
You're addicted to love

Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love

By breakfast time the next morning, he had decided he had to talk to Kurt, no matter what. They were supposed to be friends, after all. If he had done something to upset the boy, he wanted to know so he could make things right. And he wanted to talk to the pale boy about Jeff, too.

He spotted the countertenor at a table with the blonde Warbler, but they weren't alone.

"Nick? When did you get back?" He asked, setting his tray down.

The dark haired warbler smiled at him. "Just now, actually. Got the doctor's clearance yesterday afternoon. I was just thanking Kurt here for keeping Jeff occupied while I was out."

Kurt just smiled. "It wasn't a problem. Once I saw how worried he was about you, I knew I had to distract him. All he did the entire time was talk about you."

The blonde blushed and leaned into his boyfriend. "I can't help it, I've never cared so much about anyone before."

Blaine felt guilty for the thoughts he'd had about the two boys yesterday. Of course Kurt wouldn't try and steal another guy's boyfriend. And yeah, Jeff was a clown and a flirt, but he would never cheat on Nick.

"I'm glad you're back." Blaine said, relieved that he didn't have to talk to Kurt about the other boy after all.

"Thanks. Ready to go, babe?" Nick said to Jeff. The taller boy smiled and nodded, and the two of them left, leaving him alone with Kurt. The auburn haired boy smiled as he watched them go.

Blaine took a sip of his orange juice, feeling awkward being alone with Kurt for the first time in days. He was trying to think of something to say, but then Kurt was turning back to him.

"Oh, hey, I almost forgot," the glasz eyed boy said, sounding enthusiastic, "my stepbrother, Finn, invited me to a party at his ex girlfriend's house Friday night. Want to come along?"

Kurt was inviting him to a party? That didn't sound like something the boy would do if he was upset. Maybe Blaine had just read too much into things?

"Uh, sure. Sounds like fun."

Kurt laughed. "You've obviously have never been to a Rachel Berry party."

Blaine felt himself relaxing at the sound of Kurt's laugh. Things would work out, okay. He was sure of it.
