Disclaimer: I don't own Glee or any of the Glee characters. If I did, Blaine and Rachel would be together! :D
Hello, so I'm back. I hope you enjoy this chapter and thank you for reading! By the way, Italics are characters thoughts.
I also want to say another massive thank you to NightReaderTillDawn for helping me out with this story. You really do improve it massively. I guess your Gleefan123's little helper! ;)
Blaine woke up the next morning, a smile across his face. He rolled over onto his side with a groan, his back aching from how he had been curled up on the couch. His head pounded as a constant reminder of all booze he had drank the previous night. He glanced around the room, on the floor were glass bottles and red plastic cups, scattered around every inch of the floor. Then his eyes laid on the spinner and he shook his head trying to remember what had happened the previous night.
He then remembered Rachel and realised she was the reason why he was lying on the couch in the first place. Rachel Berry is sleeping in my bed. He thought to himself offhandedly, but then he scolded himself Tut, stop it Blaine. You don't like Rachel; she's your best friend... He stopped, trying to clear his head and mentally slapping himself. But no matter how hard he tried he couldn't get the thought of Rachel lying asleep in his bed. He was a teenage boy, he had urges and thoughts at times, he couldn't help it after all.
After arguing with himself for a few minutes, he pulled himself up using a great amount of effort, wincing as the aching in his back tried to pull him back down onto the couch. Tilting his head, he looked up at the wall to check the time. The clock was slanted to one side, obviously from last night's events. He focused on the clock and managed to make out the time. "Shit!" he cried out in a whisper, his eyes growing wide. "We are going to be so late for school."
He jumped up, only to be repaid by his head pounding again, telling him to take it a little slower. He sat down on the couch, holding his head in his hands. Right... You have to go wake up your girlfri-your friend now, Blaine he thought, shaking his head again and standing.
He exited the living room, slightly shocked as he walked around the house, that hadn't escaped last night's drunken events either. He crept carefully around bottles and cups, one of the bottles having smashed at the bottom of the stairs. Carefully, he tip toed up them, trying not to make any noise so he didn't make his headache worse. When he reached his bedroom door, he put his hand on the handle, then removed it, knocking on it softly.
"Rachel, are you awake. Rachel?" When there was no answer, Blaine walked into his room. He was glad to see that at least one part of the house has survived. Then Blaine looked over at the sleeping girl, lightly snoring. Blaine half-smiled and laughed by exhaling through his nose. She's so cute. No, stop it Blaine! Blaine then rested his forehead on his hand. You've got to snap out of this. Just act normal. Blaine then quietly walked over to the bed and gently shook Rachel awake.
Rachel awoke to a big, smiling face. "Good morning gorgeous." Blaine said cheerfully. Rachel smiled back at him. "Good morning handsome," she said with a wink. Blaine knew she was only messing, but it made his heart beat a thousand times a minute. "Aw, look at you you've gone bright red. Confidence Blaine." Rachel said while giggling. Rachel had no idea how on the wrong end of the stick she was. Blaine rolled his eyes. "Yeah, alright Rach." Rachel then rolled over to look at Blaine's bed side clock. "Blaine, what day is it today?" Rachel asked, starting to panic a little. "Thursday" Blaine replied. With this Rachel shot up, but then lay back down again holding her now banging head. Blaine laughed. "Hung-over too, huh? Oh yes, schools going to be fun," Blaine said in a sarcastic tone.
Now Rachel sat up again, this time slower. "Blaine, do you have any idea what time it is?" Rachel whispered while holding her head. She felt sick and her head was really hurting her now. Blaine saw this and felt the pain for her and sat down next to her on the bed. "Come here" Blaine said, while signalling her to rest her head on his lap. When Rachel did so, Blaine started to massage her temples. Rachel started to relax and closed her eyes. Rachel let out a soft sigh, as, she really did feel better. She just needs to get someone to do it all day for her. Blaine smiled. "Don't worry Rachel, we have Glee first thing. I'm sure Mr Schue will let us off." Rachel smiled and opened her eyes. She then lifted her head off Blaine's lap and wrapped him into a tight hug. "Thank you Blaine, for everything." Blaine wrapped his arms around Rachel waist, returning the gesture. "Its fine Rach, anytime, I've really enjoyed myself, and there's no one better that I would rather spend my time with." Blaine reassured her. Though Rachel didn't know just how true it was. She pulled back and smiled a big toothy grin at him and giggled. "Right, we better get ready." Rachel said.
At school, Blaine quickly parked his car into a space. Then he and Rachel raced down the corridors, despite their banging heads. When they were about five meters away from the door, the two stopped and sorted themselves out while regaining their breath. Then the two calmly walked into glee club.
Meanwhile, "So has anyone seen Blaine or Rachel today?" Mr Schue asked. Kurt looked down guiltily, thinking that Blaine and Rachel absence was because he and Finn had broken up with them. Finn just rolled his eyes. He had received the voice mail. She couldn't wait two minutes before moving on to another guy. A gay guy. How desperate. Finn thought to himself.
Then Blaine and Rachel walked in. "Sorry were late Mr Schue" They said at the same time, while talking her seats next to each other. So she stayed the night, what a sleaze. Finn thought to himself. Mr Schue looked concerned. "Are you okay guys? You look a little of it. Do you think you have a bug?" Finn laughed sourly. "Or drank a little too much alcohol" He said. Santana raised her eyebrows. "Oh please, do you think hobbit and dwarf would even touch alcohol again after what happened at Rachel party. They've not got the stomach for it" Finn smirked "oh yeah well this voice mail says different." He said while loading up the voice mail on his phone.
After the class had listened to the voice mail, they all turned around to look at Blaine and Rachel, mouths hanging open. "Guys" Rachel giggled. "You're going to catch flies" She received no response except by Mr Schue. "I expected better of you two. You're my star performers and you go and get drunk on a school night. Don't you know how stupid you've been? No matter what problems you've faced through the day, alcohol is not the answer." He scolded. Blaine and Rachel winced, closed their eyes and smothered their heads in their hands synchronicity.
Then Blaine looked up, still with his eyes closed and held out his arm with his fingers outstretched in a straight line and rocked it up and down as he said. "We appreciate the lecture Mr. Schue but can you please stop shouting." Mr. Schue looked confused, "I wasn't shouting."
Blaine looked feed up. "Right, sorry sir, I'm a little hung-over." Mr Schue nodded. "I understand." Rachel winced once more. "I take it you to Rachel?" Rachel looked really depressed. Blaine put his arm around Rachel, "too loud, everything's too loud." Then she responded to Blaine by burying her head in his chest.
Kurt saw this and mouthed to Finn across the room, "Since when were they so close." Finn shook his head and shrugged, pretending to be fine with it. After Kurt looked away, Finn stared in anger at Rachel and Blaine. He felt jealous of Blaine and he doesn't even know why. He knew nothing possibly be going on between the two, Blaine's gay. But why did he feel so jealous. He figured he missed the closeness. But why? He asked himself. Maybe I ended things to soon with Rachel...He pounded. No, that's not it. I just need to get myself a girlfriend is all. He convinced himself.
Near the end of glee, Mr Schue gave the members some free time, as long as they stay in the classroom. Finn got up and walked over to a quietly chatting Blaine and Rachel. "Oh my, doesn't this look cosy." Finn said, churlishly. Blaine sighed, "Finn, what the hell do you want?" Finn simpered. "I just want to let you know not to waste your time with Rachel. She's probably the most selfish, spoilt brat I know. So mardy if she doesn't get her own way. She only cares about herself, nobody else. Also to be honest I don't think she can really sing that well." Rachel looked like she was about to burst into tears while Blaine just glared at Finn."Finn, you know that's not true. Just take it back and apologise" Blaine said while standing up trying to reason with him."Oh no, I mean every word of it" Finn said snidely. "Take it back" Blaine demanded, now starting to sound more vicious. This grabbed the rest of the glee clubs attention as well as Mr. Schue's. "Oh hit a nerve there have I" Finn laughed. Finn nodded his head in a challenging way. "Make me." Blaine looked at him disgusted. "You really want to go there?" Blaine asked, incredibly angry now. Finn just smirked at him. Blaine grinned his teeth together. "Right." He said. He lifted his right arm and punched Finn in the jaw.
Finn stumbled backwards, clutching his jaw. "You complete and utter git!" Finn yelled. "What did you do that for?" Blaine looked angrier than ever and yelled. "You asked for it" and with that Blaine stormed out the classroom, Rachel running after him. "Blaine, wait!" She yelled.
Rachel ran down the school halls looking for Blaine. Then she came across a hunched up figure. As she walked closer and then saw it was Blaine. "You silly boy" She said while pulling him into a big bear hug. Blaine wrapped his arms round Rachel while she said, "Thanks for sticking up for me in there... I really appreciated it, but, I think punching him was a bit far, no matter how much I enjoyed it." She said while tightening the hug. Blaine smiled. "Always looking for non-violent ways Rachel?" Blaine teased. "I know, I know. I shouldn't have punched him. I just feel... very... protective over you Rach." Blaine explained. "You're my best friend" He added on quickly. Rachel then tucked her head into the crease in his neck. "That's really sweet." Then she lightly tapped him on his upper arm. "It's time to go back Blaine" Then she stood up, took him hands and pulled him up also.
The two walked back into the room, Blaine looking at the ground, ashamed. Rachel was lightly helping him along the room with a hand on his mid back. When Kurt saw them, he walked, well stormed over. "Blaine, you just punched my brother in the face, why?" Kurt asked. Blaine looked up."Well, besides the fact that the guy's a general prick..." Blaine started. Kurt scrunched up his started to scrunch up his face, but then immediately stopped. He did not want wrinkles at this young age. "Blaine, just because he maybe get on your case a lot is no reason to hit someone. Just because he was protective of me in the past... It's just no reason for violence." Kurt explained. Blaine slowly bobbed his head. "Yeah, well done Kurt." Then Blaine stopped bobbing and continued. "But, surprisingly this isn't about you Kurt. Your jerk of a brother just came up to us and started to bitch about Rachel to me. So... I punched him. I'm sorry Kurt but I'm not having that."
Kurt was about to walk away when Rachel lightly grabbed his arm. "Actually Kurt, can we talk please?" Rachel asked politely. "Sure" Kurt replied. Rachel face turned from a smile to just no emotion. "I just wanted to know why you weren't supportive of Blaine when he told you he was bi? And why you tried to convince Blaine that he wasn't?" Kurt quickly turned to look at Blaine. "Oh, please don't tell me you're going for the whole bi thing again. You're gay Blaine." Blaine tilted his head back a little. "How do you know what I am Kurt. Come on Rachel were done here." The bell rang and Blaine placed on arm around Rachel's shoulders' and walked out to Rachel's locker. While he was waited for Rachel to gather her books for her next lesson, he couldn't help but smile when he saw a picture of him and Rachel, blue tacked to the door from Rachel's party. Blaine pointed to the picture. "Best Party ever." He laughed. "Yeah" Rachel laughed along. "Well" She continued. "Glee was certainly eventful." Blaine chucked. "Just a tad. Rach I've got to get to class, your caching a ride back with me right?" He asked. Rachel nodded and the two headed off to class.
After school had finished, Blaine dropped Rachel off at home. Rachel gave him a hug before she got out the car. "Thanks for everything. See you tomorrow." "Cya" Blaine responded. When Rachel had gone through her door Blaine felt safe to say, "Love you." Then Blaine realised what he just said and put his head in the palms of both hands for a moment or two then drove home himself.
Rachel walked through her door to see her two dads standing at the door, both tapping their feet with their arms crossed waiting for her. They had a stern look on their face when Leroy asked. "And where were you last night young lady?"
