I do not own Glee...You would know if I did. Trust me!
It was a few weeks later and it wasn't anything new to see Rachel with Blaine. The two had become close. What was a stranger occurrence was Kurt and Santana whispering to each other, always seeming to be planning something. It was roughly a month after Rachel had arrived at the school when Brittany came skipping over to Rachel. "Hey Rachie!", Rachel turned from her locker and smiled at the blonde cheerleader. "Hey, Britt. Did you need me for something?" She asked. Brittany looked down at the smaller girl and smiled. "I'm having a party this Saturday! For the Glee club! Me and Lord Tubbington would love it if you would come! Please?" Rachel laughed as Brittany pouted. Nodding, Rachel closed her locker. "I'll be there, Britt" She said before walking away. What she didn't notice was Kurt and Santana watching the whole thing. "You thinking what I'm thinking Hummel?" Kurt smirked before walking away. "This Saturday will be a party to remember" He shouted over his shoulder.
The day of the party arrived and Rachel was surprised to see Kurt and Santana turn up on her doorstep casually stating they were here to help her get ready before pushing past into her home. After hours of getting ready, she was acceptable. When the three arrived at the party, people were already drunk. Santana excused herself to go find her boyfriend, but not before handing Rachel a cup of alcohol with the promise of murder if she didn't drink it. Rachel sighed before drinking, screwing up her face in disgust at the first taste. Kurt laughed. "You get used to it, Just...drink it in one" Nodding, Rachel drank the rest of the drink quickly feeling a slight buzz. Promising herself she'd drink no more, only to have Santana appear with yet another drink and her boyfriend. As she tried to refuse, Sebastian smirked. "Can't handle it, Berry", Determined to prove him wrong, Rachel drank in one again and threw the empty cup towards Santana before grabbing another drink and walking away from the trio. Drinking more slowly this time, Rachel looked around the room, searching. "Looking for someone?" Came a voice from behind her. Turning around quickly, Rachel saw Blaine standing there, grinning. Rachel smacked his arm. "You know not to jump out at me and yet you insist on doing it all the time" Rachel tried not to smile and failed as Blaine laughed. "Really, Rach? We both know you couldn't care less because it's me" Rachel rolled her eyes before taking another sip of her drink. She was definitely feeling the effects of the alcohol now. "Come on" She said, as she put her cup down on the nearby table. "I want to dance" Grabbing Blaine's hand, she pulled him over to where some of the others were dancing. Blaine laughed and pulled Rachel closer to him not noticing the identical smirks on Kurt and Santana faces. As the night progressed, the pair grew drunker and consequently began to flirt wildly with each other much to the amusement of their friends. Rachel and Blaine were dancing again and Santana watched with a smirk as Quinn accidentally knocked Rachel over causing the smaller girl to fall dragging Blaine with her yet skillfully managing to land in his lap. The two stared at each other for a moment, Rachel blushing madly. Looking over to Kurt, Santana smirked again and pointed to the pair. When she turned back to them, her smirk grew as she watched Rachel try and stand up before Blaine pulled her back into his lap and kissing her. "Mission accomplished" Santana thought to herself.
Rachel couldn't believe it. There she was at her first party, her first time drunk and her first time kissing Blaine Anderson. She couldn't believe it. One moment she was dancing with him, the next the two of them were on the floor, Rachel landing in Blaine's lap. Rachel didn't know what to do as she sat there, staring back at Blaine, blushing a deep red before trying to stand up. As she tried to stand up, Rachel felt herself be pulled back. Her eyes widened as Blaine pulled her back into his lap, holding onto her waist and kissing her. For a moment Rachel was too stunned to do anything but sit there before she responded. Kissing back, she saw fireworks, only to be interrupted by Sebastian. "Now who's practically having sex in a public place" He smirked. Blushing again, Rachel quickly stood, mumbling something about air before rushing outside. She needed to clear her head. She suddenly felt sober now and all she wanted to do was try and work out what had just happened.
Blaine was left sat on the floor. He stood up and glared at Sebastian who was smirking. "Why'd you have to go and do that for? Now she's all freaked out" Blaine shouted at him before walking away. He didn't feel drunk, he hadn't felt drunk in the first place. He had acted on instinct. When Rachel had gone to stand up, he couldn't help himself so he had pulled her back into his lap. Blaine smiled to himself as he remembered the kiss. Sure it had tasted of alcohol, but that didn't bother him. It was the fireworks he couldn't stop thinking about, he'd never felt anything like that before. Knowing Rachel had gone outside and knowing they had to talk about this, Blaine decided to go find her.
Rachel stood outside and wrapped her arm around herself. She didn't know why but she was trying to hold back her tears. Rachel knew she had feelings for Blaine, she was pretty sure everyone knew. Sighing quietly, Rachel thought back to the kiss. She knew she should talk to Blaine about what happened, about how she felt about it, but she didn't want him to tell her it was just a drunken mistake, she was positive that what she would be told. Rachel started as she felt someone gently place a jacket over her. "You looked cold" Rachel turned around to see Blaine standing there, smiling down at her. "Thank you" She whispered before turning away again. She was embarrassed and more importantly afraid. Rachel was afraid of what was going to happen to them now. She heard Blaine sigh, "Don't do this, Rachel. Don't try and push me away" Rachel shook her head, "I'm not trying to push..." "No," Blaine started, "Let me talk for a second, please?" Sighing as she turned to face him, Rachel nodded. "I know what you're thinking, Rach. And I'm telling you now, what just happened between us...It's what I've wanted since the day I met you. Don't try and pass it off as a drunken mistake. We both know it was much more than that" Rachel stayed silent for a few moments, chewing on her bottom lip. "I...I think" She started, "I think...I don't want to screw up our friendship. We were both drunk tonight. What happened can't happen again, Blaine" She told him quietly, passing him back his jacket before walking back inside. "Rachel.." She stopped for a moment before whispering "I'm sorry" before walking away from him, trying her best not to break down in the middle of the party.
It was so hard for me not to make Rachel just be with Blaine! Oh gosh. I'll post the next chapter either this afternoon or tomorrow. I've only got one more chapter actually written fully. So my updates may slow down a bit. It all depends on how much I write.
