So, here's the next chapter! I hope you're enjoying the story so far. Sorry if I am taking too long to upload, I just have so much to do with year 12 at the moment!
I'm not 100% sure where this is going from here, so expect anything to happen :)
Anyway, enjoy and chuck us a review if you have a sec :)
Oh, and I DO NOT own Glee, or anything that is recognisable in this story!
Blaine took a deep breath, his hands were slightly shaky. "My…best mate…Christian. H-he…kissed…me." Blaine finally got out.
Kurt didn't know how to respond to what Blaine just told him. He wanted to comfort him like all mates would, but he didn't want to freak Blaine out any more than he already was.
"Why did you say you could have handled it better?" Kurt asked curiously.
Blaine sighed and looked up at Kurt. Just like last night, their eyes met for a moment. Kurt averted his gaze as he waited for Blaine to reply, both boys felt the burn of embarrassment on their cheeks.
Blaine didn't know how to explain it to a complete stranger, but he felt bad for not telling the truth. He couldn't talk to Kurt about what he was really thinking, he didn't even understand it himself.
"I pushed him away…and yelled at him." Blaine said, regretfully. "He asked me to let him explain, but I didn't give him the chance. When I was leaving he put his hand on my shoulder to stop me, but I hit his arm away and yelled at him not to touch me."
Blaine was almost on the verge of tears now and Kurt didn't know what to do to help comfort him. "Do you think it might be best if you give him a chance to explain himself." Kurt suggested. "It might be for the best."
"Probably." Blaine admitted. "I just…I wouldn't know what to say to him." He put his head back in his hands and Kurt couldn't help but suspect that there was more going on than Blaine was explaining.
Kurt felt uncomfortable around Blaine now, given his reaction to his best mate being gay. What would he think if he knew about Kurt? That will have to wait.
"I should probably get going." Kurt said as he started to get up.
Blaine looked up, disappointed. "What, but we haven't even gone inside yet."
"I know, but I think you need to go talk to Christian first. Sort things out with him and then we can catch up."
"Yeah, you're right." Blaine got up, running his hands through his hair. He had to admit that he was slightly upset that Kurt didn't want to stay.
The two made their way back to their cars, which were conveniently parked beside each other and climbed in after saying goodbye. Kurt suddenly thought of something and pulled out a notebook and pen.
"Blaine, wait a sec." Kurt called out his open window. He climbed out of his Rav and walked up to Blaine's window. Blaine opened the window with a curious expression.
"Here." Kurt said as he handed Blaine a piece of paper. "Let me know how it goes."
Blaine looked down at the paper confused, but when he saw a series of digits and Kurt scrawled across the top, he grinned shyly. "Thanks, I will."
On the drive home, Kurt couldn't help but be upset by Blaine's reaction to the kiss. It had him worried that Blaine would react the same way to him being gay, and he didn't want to lose their friendship. Although they barely knew each other, Kurt felt that they were already pretty good friends. Kurt spent the rest of his ride home wondering if he should confess to Blaine about his sexuality.
Blaine's thoughts were running wild as he drove back to his and Christian's. He was thinking of what to say to Christian, and he kept telling himself to keep an open mind. He felt bad for upsetting him, he couldn't do that again.
But what had Blaine confused the most was his reaction to the kiss. Yeah, Christian thinks he went crazy because the idea of kissing a guy utterly repulsed him. But, Blaine didn't think that was the reason for him losing it.
Stop it, Blaine. You are still in shock.
Blaine arrived at his and Christian's, not wanting to get out of the car. He sat in the Jeep for a moment and finally chastised himself for being a coward, then got out.
"Ah, hi." Christian said nervously as Blaine walked into the lounge room.
Blaine sat on the sofa, adjacent to the chair Christian was sitting on. "Hi."
The two mates sat in silence for a moment, both of them didn't know where to begin and hoped that the other would speak up first.
"Blaine, I'm really sorry." Christian broke the silence. "I-" He stopped, unsure of what to say next.
"Christian." Blaine spoke. "Are you…gay?" He asked cautiously.
Really? Christian thought. He struggled to ask Blaine, yet here he was being asked the exact question. What was wrong with him? Christian abused himself.
Blaine thought that Christian would confess, but he didn't. He actually did the opposite. "No, no, no I'm not gay." He denied, laughing. "No, I'm not."
"Then why did you kiss me?" Blaine asked, confused.
Christian laughed lightly again. "I'm definitely not gay. Not that I have anything against it. I mean, I wouldn't care if someone was gay, there's nothing wrong with it." He was rambling now and Blaine was becoming suspicious. "I don't have anything against gays, they are just like everyone else. So if I knew someone who was gay, I wouldn't care-"
"What are you talking about, Christian?" Blaine asked, confused by Christian's rapid rambling.
"I kissed you…because I thought that…you were…gay. I couldn't bring myself to ask you, so I – being the idiot that I am – decided to see your reaction to…a kiss instead." Christian admitted. "Well, I know now that I was clearly wrong." He added, looking up at Blaine.
Blaine blushed and looked away, not wanting to meet Christian's eyes. How could he tell him? Would it be weird?
"Blaine?"
In response, Blaine simply huffed and put his face in his hands. He then sat up straight and ran his hands through his hair. He couldn't say it, so he just looked up at Christian.
It took a moment for Christian to register, but he understood after a few seconds what Blaine was trying to tell him.
"You are, aren't you?" Christian asked.
Blaine simply nodded and breathed out a long sigh. He had been pushing his thoughts away since he met Kurt. He didn't understand what his feelings meant, so he tried to ignore them, but they were clear to him now.
"Since when?" Christian wanted to know. "I mean, you haven't always been, have you?"
Blaine looked up and explained himself. "The night that I met Kurt, I was on the stage and he was over at the bar. I didn't really notice him much at first, but then our eyes locked together for a moment and I felt the same way I had when I saw Sarah, only slightly more intense."
"I had never really looked at a guy that way, never really noticed the features of any guys, until I saw Kurt. It confused me that I felt that way, so instead of trying to figure out what it meant, I ignored it. Then, when Kurt accepted to go out tonight, I felt as if I was going on a first date. But I ignored this too. The kiss topped it all off."
"Topped it off? Don't you mean, freaked you out?" Christian questioned, grinning slightly.
Blaine chuckled before responding. "It wasn't the fact that I was being kissed by a guy that freaked me out."
When Blaine didn't continue, Christian prompted him. "Then what was it?"
Blaine took a deep breath in and then out before he spoke again. "It was because I realised that it didn't freak me out at all."
Hope you liked it!
