Kurt and Blaine were good friends. They told each other everything. But Blaine couldn't help but want more. He was getting tired of pretending that he felt nothing more than friendship for the boy walking next to him. Every time their hands brushed together, he wanted nothing more than to grab Kurt's soft one and hold it tightly in his own.
So on their way to Warbler rehearsal that afternoon, when it happened for the fifth time, Blaine did exactly that. He grabbed Kurt's creamy white hand and laced their fingers together. Kurt's head snapped towards Blaine with wide-eyed shock. Blaine's heart leapt into his throat and his body tensed, waiting for the rejection surely to come. But it never did. Kurt merely smiled and gave his hand a light squeeze before using his other hand to open the door they'd now reached.
Blaine almost passed out from pure relief and happiness. His stomach felt like a shopping centre during a big sale.
As they walked in and took a seat on a couch, Nick and Jeff eyed their linked hands with raised eye brows but didn't say anything. Blaine tried to ignore the wink David sent him and hoped Kurt hadn't noticed anything.
A few more boys filed in and struck up quiet conversations with the others until David called for their attention.
"Alright, everyone listen up. You may notice Wes isn't here yet-" Murmurs broke out amongst the boys. "Quiet down! It's nothing bad I promise. In fact, I'm sure you'll all enjoy it immensely."
This caught the boys attention. They all leaned forward in their seats, eager to learn more.
"So, you all know its Wes' 18th next week and his parents are going to be away….."
The bell finally rang and Wes started collecting his things. Deep in thought, he didn't notice Thad slipping out of the class room without him. He was just about to make his way to Warblers before Mrs Thompson, Anna, called him back.
"Wes! I was wondering if you could help me with something? I couldn't ask David, I'd never hear the end of it."
Wes scratched the back of his head. He really needed to get to Warblers… but a few minutes shouldn't hurt.
"Sure, Mrs T. What did you need help with?"
"It's this damn facebook, It's playing up again…"
"Is everyone okay with that?"
The Warblers all grinned like maniacs. Blaine called out from his spot next to Kurt, "This is gonna be totally awesome!" Kurt rolled his eyes at Blaine's puppy-like excitement.
"Just remember, if anyone lets it slip to Wes, I'll kick you out of the Warblers." David fixed them all with a serious glare just to get his point across.
Wes chose that moment to walk through the door and catch the tail end of their conversation. "Who are we kicking out?"
David's eyes widened as he tried to think of an excuse. "Because…"
"He threatened to kick anyone out that didn't practice over the holidays." Kurt lied smoothly.
"Ah, yes! Thank you David. We'll be able to tell if you don't!" Wes walked over and took his seat in the middle of the council table.
David mouthed a quick thank you to Kurt. "That's enough of this sitting around, get the room into order."
The Warblers burst in to action, moving tables and chairs against the wall to make a decent sized practice space.
"Sorry I was late, your mum needed to see me about something."
"Don't worry, it's all cool"
AVPM reference anyone? ;)
