Ok, I am so sorry for the false alarm. I've never actually updated a fic before and it confused me /:
Well, anyway. Here's the real chapter two!
Ps, I kind of switched Kurt's character a bit, but I feel like this will work better with a few plotlines I have in my head right now. Hope you don't mind too much. He will come off a little… almost badboy-ish? He just likes to intimidate, I guess. So sorry if that's not what you like.
Oh and I'm switching Blaine and Rachel's dads' names to Hiram and Leroy. Haha, sorry about the changes.
Disclaimer: I don't own Glee.
The hallways at McKinley were as loud as ever. Many students rushed to their lockers to get their books and head off to class, others just loitered around and talked to their friends. Kurt was one of those people. Kurt Hummel was head male cheerleader, you see, and even though he was gay (which people in Ohio found hard to accept, sadly) people still had respect for him. Maybe not so much respect as fear for their own reputation. Kurt had a lot of power at school. Normally the jocks and bullies would have devoured a kid like Kurt, seeing as he was adamant about his fashion and appearance and was about as gay as you could get, but since he joined the squad and gained a better reputation, people left him alone. But that still didn't make up for the fact that even though people left him alone about being gay, he still would probably never get a boyfriend, or at least while he was in Ohio.
Blaine, on the other hand, was probably about as low on the popularity scale as you could get. He was smart, immensely so, was in glee club, and was gay. He wore sweater vests and bowties, while Kurt stuck to his cheerleading outfit. He gelled his hair to the point where it reflected light at the right angle, and he had trimmed, triangular eyebrows. He was an easy target and people didn't have a problem with tossing him into dumpsters or throwing slushies at him.
Rachel was, well, Rachel. She was ambitious, viciously so, was manipulative and had a strange fashion sense. People found it easy to taunt her also. But she was of a higher status than her little brother, mostly because she was a senior. Besides, she was friends with the Kurt Hummel, and everyone knows not to mess with Kurt. He wasn't a threatening person, but he had people behind him that were, and no one wanted to risk getting on the popular kids' bad side. Rachel's eyes were set on NYADA anyway, and she wasn't going to let a few taunts and teases stop her from achieving her dreams. She and Kurt were going to New York at the end of the school year, and then they would be free. Free to be themselves, free to do what they wanted, free to pursue their dreams.
Blaine, however, would be stuck there for two more years, alone, without his sister. He liked to think that he could handle being on his own, when really he would just miss his sister. She did her best to make things easier for Blaine, and he really appreciated it. However, there was only so much she could do, and now that she was leaving, things would get even worse.
Blaine sighed as he walked to the bathroom. He was slushied within five minutes of arriving at school. It was the first day back, and already it was horrible. He walked into the boy's bathroom timidly, looking to see if anyone was in there.
And there was. Kurt was spraying his hair at the mirror, coiffing it up into a perfect style. When he saw Blaine walk in, covered in purple slush, he capped his hairspray and set it down.
"Blaine? What happened?" He asked, already reaching out for paper towels and wetting them in the sink.
"Um, well some guys slushied me. I'm fine, really." Blaine awkwardly stood at the doorway, slush dripping down his neck and staining the collar of his white polo. Kurt reached out and pulled Blaine over to the sink and started to dab at his face with the wet paper towel. Blaine squeezed his eyes shut as Kurt moved the towel towards them.
Suddenly, Rachel marched in, throwing the door open and making the two boys jump. "Blaine! Oh god, I saw you walking in here. I can't believe they're already at it! First period hasn't even started yet!" Rachel's voice steadily got higher and higher as she spoke.
"Rach, I'm fine. It's just a slushie and I brought an extra shirt. I'm fine," Blaine reassured. He took the paper towel from Kurt and began wiping his face off himself, much less gentle than Kurt had been doing. He stuck his head under the sink and rinsed as much slush out of it as he could, leaving behind a faint sticky residue that smelled of grapes. "See? I'm fine," he said once he finished.
"Well, I know you will be, but what if it happens to me next? This dress is brand new!" Rachel whined, looking distressed. She pouted dramatically. Really, she looked quite out of sorts standing in a boy's bathroom in front of the urinals in her purple polka-dot dress, pouting.
Kurt snorted at the picture and said, "Well I can walk you guys to class if you want. I have French first and Madame Schlotz likes me and doesn't care when I'm late."
Blaine and Rachel looked at each other and then both nodded at Kurt, Blaine saying, "Thanks Kurt."
Kurt just nodded and started walking out of the bathroom, Blaine and Rachel in tow.
"Oh, and Blaine? The next time someone throws a slushie at you, come get me and I'll rip their balls off, ok?" Kurt lightly punched Blaine in the shoulder and Blaine laughed and nudged his shoulder back as they walked down the halls.
"Come on girls and porcelain! I want to see some effort here! Sloppy, this is too sloppy. Take five." Sue Sylvester's voice rang out through the gymnasium and echoed off the walls.
Blaine sat on the bleachers with Rachel as they watched Kurt and the cheerleading team practice. They were waiting for Kurt to finish up so they could all go out for frozen yogurt to celebrate their first week back at school survived.
Blaine didn't know what Coach Sylvester was talking about; they looked amazing. Especially Kurt. His uniform clung to all the right areas and made him look spectacular. A few years ago, when Kurt had just joined the Cheerios, he was still baby-faced and a little pudgy. But puberty had come and completely transformed the adorable male cheerleader into a god of sorts. His face had lost most of the baby fat and his jaw was well defined. His hair was cut at a better length and was styled perfectly. His arms, stomach, and legs all were perfectly defined as not too much but not too little. In short, Kurt Hummel looked hot. At least to Blaine, he did.
Yes, Blaine did have a small crush on Kurt. But who didn't? Even the girls, who knew Kurt was gay, thought so. Blaine just couldn't help but notice and admire the change in his look and how well he pulled off skinny jeans. He never told Rachel though. She would absolutely freak- either in a good way or a bad way. The worst case scenario would be Rachel being angry at Blaine for liking one of her best friends, and the best would be her trying to set him and Kurt up. And Blaine wasn't so sure that would be good anyway. When Rachel put her mind to something, she made sure it happened, no matter who got in the way or tried to stop her. And that would certainly not help in staring a relationship.
Kurt moved away from the girls, facing the opposite way from Blaine and Rachel, and began to stretch. Blaine was amazed at how flexible Kurt was. He could never bend or stretch like Kurt was able to. He was short and had small legs, and Kurt was lean and had long legs. After a few basic stretches, Kurt moved to the more complex ones, and ended up bending over in a weird angle, giving Blaine (and Rachel) a perfect view of his ass. Blaine looked away, blushing, but Rachel continued watching Kurt. Why, he did not know.
After their five minutes was up, Coach Sylvester called the cheerleaders back and had them practice their routine four more times before she was satisfied and sent them home. Kurt walked over to where Blaine and Rachel were waiting, a towel around his neck and his bag draped over his shoulder.
"Hey, guys. Sorry about that. Just let me shower really quick and I'll be out in a minute," Kurt said, walking off in the direction of the boy's locker rooms. Blaine and Rachel talked for a bit while they waited for Kurt. Finally, Kurt emerged, dressed in a pair of black skinny jeans matched with a white sweater, black converse, and a black leather belt. His hair was coiffed up again. Blaine didn't know how he managed to do all that in less than twenty minutes. He looked fantastic though.
"Kurt! Ready to go?" Rachel asked as she stood up and picked up her bag.
"Yeah, let's go get some froyo," Kurt replied, looping an arm through Rachel's. Blaine stood up and walked next to Kurt, feeling a little out of place. But then Kurt looked over and smiled at him while Rachel babbled on about the newest Broadway show and how it would really showcase her talents.
Rachel drove them to the frozen yogurt place and had the stereo blasting Wicked songs. Kurt and Blaine sat in the back and talked to each other throughout the whole ride there.
"So, Blaine. How often do you get thrown into dumpsters and slushied?" Kurt asked. Kurt looked over at Blaine, gauging his reaction.
Blaine shifted a little uncomfortably and glanced at Kurt before looking down at his hands in his lap. "A-about one or two times a week for the dumpster toss… but as for slushying, it varies. Some weeks it only happens once. Those are the good weeks. But on other weeks, sometimes it gets as bad as once a day. It's not a big deal though, really. I can handle it." Blaine looked up at Kurt to see him looking as if he was in deep thought.
"Well… Have you tried joining a new club or sport? You can always join the football team, you know. In my sophomore year, I was the kicker. Granted, it was only for a week or two, but still. I won the final game we needed and people left me alone for a little."
Blaine furrowed his eyebrows, considering. "Well, I'm pretty sure the football team wouldn't want the gay kid 'taking a peek at their junk'," he said, making air quotes. Kurt winced sympathetically. Even though people left him alone, they still make crude comments at times. "But I can consider it, I guess."
"Alright cool," Kurt said, satisfied. Rachel then pulled up to the frozen yogurt place. They all filed out and walked up to the door. Blaine got there first and opened it and held it for Kurt, giving a small flourish and a bow. Rachel rolled her eyes and Kurt smiled before they all walked in. They all ordered- Kurt having plain vanilla, Blaine having a chocolate and strawberry swirl with sprinkles, and Rachel having a vegan yogurt. They all ate, laughed, and talked and soon enough, they all finished, but they didn't leave. They chose instead to sit there and continue talking about the newest Broadway productions, the best and worst music, and the latest Vogue. The latter had Kurt and Blaine raving about it and Rachel sitting there and looking amused. Finally, they all decided to head to Rachel and Blaine's to stay the night.
"Yeah, dad, I know. I know I should've called earlier but I was with Blaine and Rachel. Ok, I'm sorry. I'll see you tomorrow, k? Goodnight." Kurt hung up with his father, giving Blaine and Rachel the ok for staying the night and they began to drive.
Kurt sat in the back with Blaine, both laughing and singing along to the radio with Rachel as they drove home. Blaine couldn't help but let his eyes stray to Kurt, watching the joyous expression on the older boy's face as he alternated parts with Rachel in a song. Kurt looked over and caught his eye, causing Blaine to look down and blush. Kurt smiled and looked forward again, continuing the song. And that's how it went the whole ride home.
This time Kurt slept over, he and Blaine didn't fall asleep together. Well, not exactly. You see, Kurt and Rachel were watching Grease when Blaine snuck in and plopped down next to Rachel, Kurt on her other side. Eventually they all fell asleep, tangled on the couch with no room. Rachel promptly fell off the couch (of course Blaine didn't kick her off. That would be rude) and Blaine shifted to where he and Kurt were at opposite ends of the couch. They all slept on.
And there's chapter 2 for you all :) I hope you liked it!
I've got some crazy ideas in my head, but I'm not sure how to lead up to them, so the next update might not be for a while, sorry!
I love you all and I'm so thankful for all of the reviews I've gotten. You guys are awesome. 3
