After I'mInLoveWithYou's wishes I made this little AU oneshot. It happens after Original Songs in season 2 of Glee.
The Warblers decided to host a party for the New Directions to celebrate their victory at regionals. The two groups were having fun together in the Warbler Hall, everyone except one person. Wes Montgomery was standing in the corner watching his friends, new and old, having a blast.
He was not as happy. He had promised Otto that he would take the Warblers all the way, but he had not been able to. He let him down and he guessed that's why none of his Warbler brothers from his first year had called him or sent anything for his birthday.
Wes' birthday was the 9th of February and he hadn't gotten a call, a card, an e-mail or anything from his brothers. He guessed they wanted to give him some space during his hard work for regionals but when he wrote in their special forum that they placed second at regionals he got no answer at all. He sighed. His brothers really had abandoned him.
Wes didn't know it but a few people noticed how down he seemed. One of them was Rachel.
"What's wrong with your friend Kurt", she asked the countertenor and Kurt looked in the direction she inclined her head to.
"Wes", Kurt asked and also noticed how down he looked. "Oh… um I think he's just down because it was his last competition."
"And because you lost?"
"No", Blaine told her. "Wes always says that it's not about winning, it's about having fun and winning is just an extra bonus at times."
"I also think it's because he's graduating soon", Kurt said and smiled sadly. "Dalton is like… his home. And the boys here are his brothers… well little brothers."
"He even goes by the name big brother Wes amongst us", Blaine said with a smile.
"Has it always been like that", Rachel asked.
"He's been big brother Warbler since his sophomore year when he took over as 'captain'."
"What? Sophomore year?!"
"Yeah", Kurt said with a fond smile. "No one can challenge him because he is the best there is. He's head Warbler, student council president, head boy, dorm prefect and is in the martial arts team."
"He's always been big brother Wes", Blaine said fondly.
"Oh come on", Finn said who'd overheard them. "He's not that big… or that scary looking."
"You have never seen him angry", Kurt said. "And be thankful for that."
"Yeah", Jeff said skipping over happily. "Even the teachers are afraid of him when he's angry. And the teachers and principal and other staff members trusts him way more than any other student."
"Why", Finn asked.
"He's so mature, calm, collected, just, fair, objective, trustworthy and never loses his cool", Blaine explained. "The perfect student… almost a grownup already."
"Yeah I know of nothing that can make him loses his cool and drop the grownup act", Jeff said happily and then the doors were slammed open. Everyone turned to it and saw two young men. One was tall, blonde and had blue eyes and beside him was a slightly shorter man with brown hair, dark eyes and a big grin on his face.
"Where is he", the brunette asked and a big group of young men and one young woman entered.
"Excuse me", David said. "But what are you doing here?"
"We are looking for our little brother", an African-American that was wearing glasses said matter-of-factly.
"Who may that be", Thad asked and crossed his arms.
"Shorty show your face."
"Lucas!" a joyful call was heard and the Warblers and the ND stared as the African-American grinned and walked forward, catching a guy in Dalton uniform that flung himself at him. Lucas smiled and swung the guy around in a wide circle and laughter filled the air, laughter of a kind the Warblers and the ND had never heard before. Lucas stopped spinning and put the guy down and ruffled his hair fondly, looking slightly down at him. The Warblers and ND could now see that it was Wes Montgomery that had laughed like a little child. They stared in shock at him.
"Good to see you Shorty", Lucas said and Wes' smile was bigger than his friends had ever seen before.
"You can't really call me that Beanpole", Wes said. "I'm almost your height now!"
"Keep on dreaming Shorty." Lucas ruffled his hair with a fond smile on his lips.
"My baby!" the brunette from before screamed and flung his arms around Wes and pulled him into a tight hug. Wes just laughed and hugged him back just as tight. The blonde from before joined in on the tight hug.
"Nate", a short brunette, around Blaine and Thad's height said. "You are killing him."
"Mitch!" Wes exclaimed and wiggled his way out of the double hug. He hugged the shorter boy to him. After Mitch the rest of the guys came forward and started to hug him until someone cleared their throat and a young woman with long blonde hair, dressed in a short, tight pink dress, with a nice cleavage and wearing white leather boots, white gloves and a white necklace stepped forward.
"Darling", she scolded and Wes smiled wide. "How dare you greet all these boys before greeting me?"
Wes giggled and the Warblers stared at him in shock. Wes just giggled?! He had never done something like that before! Why was he acting as such a kid?!
"Now get over here", the girl said and Wes got out of the arms of a young man with long blonde hair and brown eyes. He walked over to the girl looking a bit ashamed and stood in front of her and pouted.
"No what do we say", the girl asked him.
"Sorry… I didn't mean to", Wes said and looked down.
"Good darling and how do we show someone that we are sorry?"
Wes smiled brightly and leaned forward and kissed her on the nose. She huffed.
"I thought I taught you better than that darling", she said.
"What do you want me to do", he asked playfully. "Scoop you up bridal style and snog you?"
"Yes that sounds like a really good idea."
Wes blushed and started to splutter something when she without warning grabbed hold of his blazer and pulled him close, kissing him on the lips. Wes' eyes widened at first but then he grinned and kissed her back. It became clear that tongue was involved and the girl smiled into the kiss.
"Oi!" the brunette from earlier called and grabbed Wes' shoulder and pulled him back. "Justine shame on you! That's pedophilia! He's just a baby!"
"I am not a baby Nathan", Wes said with a big grin on his face. "I just know a pretty lady when I see one and if I want to kiss her and she me I can."
"I see no lady", Nathan said. "Ow!" Wes and the Justine-girl had hit him at the same time.
"Wes", a very deep voice said from the door and a man entered and everyone that didn't know him stared in shock. He was the tallest and most muscular person they'd ever seen. He was taller than Finn, much taller than Finn. Finn was tall with his 191 centimeters or 6 feet and 3 inches. This guy was 220 centimeters or 7 feet and 3 inches (about).
"Oh my God", Brittany whispered to Santana. "A chocolate giant."
"Wes", the guy continued. "Do not hit others."
"Sorry Papa", Wes said but the grin on his face told them he was not sorry at all.
"Good", 'Papa' said and held his arms open. "Now come and give me a hug Little Buddy."
Wes grinned and first jumped onto a chair and then jumped into the guy's arms. Wes was 175 centimeters or 5 feet and 9 inches after all. The guy just laughed as Wes hooked his legs around his waist and hugged him. Looking a bit like a small child clinging to his dad. Wes was grinning so big his face ached and the Warblers watched in confusion . The giant 'Papa' was smiling softly and had his eyes closed as he hugged the smaller guy. He was holding one arm around Wes to keep him up and the other hand he used to rub the back of Wes' head.
"I missed you Mark", Wes said and leaned back so he was no longer resting his head on the guy's shoulder.
"Missed you too", Mark side and kissed his temple before putting him down.
"If that's how much you missed Mark", a voice said from behind the crowd at the door. "Then how much did you miss me?"
"Alvaro?!" Wes sounded shocked and looked around Mark and saw his Latino friend.
"Yo Shrimp", the Latino said and walked up to him. Wes gave him a tired look. "What?"
"When are you gonna stop calling me Shrimp, Jerk-Face?"
"I just call it as I see it", Alvaro said smugly.
"I do too Jerk-Face." Wes smirked and then squeaked when Alvaro grabbed him and slung him over his shoulder.
"Yo Nate", Alvaro said. "His sides are wide open."
"Don't you dare", Wes said and tried to wiggle himself loose. The brunette from before, Nate, smirked evilly and walked up to Wes and Alvaro.
"Help!" Wes squeaked and sadly enough for Alvaro and Nate he got it. Everyone else decided to save the Warbler from his tormentors. Mark grabbed hold of Nate and hoisted him over his shoulders in a fireman's carry and Alvaro was forced to let Wes down on the floor again when he was circled by the rest of the boys.
"Uh hum", Rachel cleared her throat and they all turned to him. Wes was in Justine's arms again. She was holding her arms around his neck and was smiling brightly.
"Oh", Wes said and grinned sheepishly. "Hi."
"Wes", Kurt said. "Um… who are all these people?"
"Oh sorry", Nate said, now upside down along Mark's back because he had tried to wiggle his ways loose and Mark now held him by his feet. "Did we interrupt something baby?"
"Yeah a little", Wes said. "You see we were celebrating New Directions' victory at regionals. We placed second."
"Really?" the blonde from before asked. "Wow, that's much better than any placing we got."
"But not nationals", Wes mumbled and looked ashamed.
"Meh who cares", the blonde answered.
"But I promised you…"
"I know baby", the blonde said and pulled Wes into a tight hug. "But I know that you will get them there… someday."
"Otto", Wes said. "I graduate this year."
"What?! Really?! Already?!"
"Uh yeah", Wes said.
"But you're too young to graduate", Nate objected.
"Nathan", Wes told him. "I'm 19."
"Ah!" Nathan exclaimed. "Right! That's why we are here!"
"Excuse me", David asked.
"Well you see", Nathan explained and crossed his arms, still hanging upside down. "We always celebrate my baby here on his birthday but didn't this year because we wanted to surprise him by coming back home to Dalton."
"Back home", Kurt asked. "Wait… you've all been Warblers before?"
"Yes", the about thirty guys and the girl said.
"Huh", Nick asked and looked at her. "How can you be a Warbler? Dalton is for boys only."
"I know", she said and skipped up to him. "And to quote my character in life's musical stage: 'I'm more than a man than you'll ever be and more of a woman than you can ever get.'"
"Hey Justine be nice to my Nicky", Wes said and she skipped up to him and kissed his cheek.
"I'm just teasing darling", she said and cuddled close to him. Wes put his arm around her waist and she leaned her head on his shoulder.
"Wait", Puck asked. "So are you a girl?"
"Yes", she said happily.
"But she is also a man", Mitch explained. "His name is Justin Gideon, who you are seeing now is Justine Gideon our one and only Warbleress."
"Oh", the ND and the Warblers said.
"Love you to baby", she said and smiled at Mitch.
"Hey keep your greedy hands off of my boyfriend", Nathan said from his place, still dangled by his feet.
"Her hands aren't greedy Nate", Wes teased. "And how are you intending to stop her from that position anyway?"
"I'll let you know that I am very flexible", Nathan said.
"Oh I know", Mitch said and smirked.
"Mitch?!"
"What it's true… and a good thing too."
"Wanky", Santana and Alvaro said at the same time and then grinned at each other. Alvaro winked at her and she rolled her eyes. Wes laughed and then realized he was being stared at by his little brothers and the ND.
"Oh right sorry", he said. "Guys and Justine."
"Yes", the new arrivals asked.
"This is the New Directions and the Dalton Academy Warblers of 10/11."
The ND and the Warblers waved a bit stiffly, still in shock.
"Guys", Wes said to them. "This is-"
"The Warblers of the First Age", Otto cried out happily.
"The what", David asked.
"Oh we were here and Wes first came to Dalton at the adorable size of a church mouse."
"And the age of 12", a brown haired guy added.
"12?!" The Warblers yelled and stared at Wes who blushed bright red.
"Oh", Otto said. "You didn't tell them about that?"
"No", Wes mumbled. "Um… was that a bad thing?"
"Yes Mini-Jerry it is."
"How many times do I have to tell you to stop calling me that?!"
"I can call you whatever I want to… Mini-Jerry."
"And why is that?"
"I'm older than you baby."
"Yeah you're little brother Wes!" a guy with neon pink hair said.
"No he's big brother Wes", Trent said with a stubborn look at his face and Wes blushed as the WotFA stared at him.
"I kind of grew up", he told them.
"Hell no", Justine objected and stared at him. "You are no such thing. Comprende?"
"But-"
"You will always be little brother Wes when we are around", Alvaro said.
"Aw", Wes whined. "Why can't you guys let me grow up?"
"Because you are too little to do that", Lucas said with a smirk that was identical to the one Wes usually sported and the Warblers stared at him.
"That's not fair", Wes said and pouted and then squeaked when Justine tickled his side. "Hey!"
"Wipe that pout off darling", she said and kissed his cheek. "We have a surprise for you."
"Really?" Wes asked and his eyes sparkled in curiosity.
"Well two actually", Mark said and dropped Nathan down so the boy landed on his head and had to make a summersault to get upright again. "One is at Trixie's."
"It's not a whistle is it?" Wes asked and looked suspicious.
"Never", Otto said grinning. "We declared you the winner."
"Good", Wes said. "I finally got rid of that thing and I intend to keep it that way."
"What did you do to my whistle", a voice asked from the door and Wes' eyes got so big it looked as if they were about to pop out of his head.
"It can't be", he said and the WotFA smirked and stepped aside making a small path to Wes and the door. In the doorway stood a young Asian man that looked so much like Wes that it was scary. He was a bit taller than Wes though.
"Jerry", Wes whispered in awe.
"Hi buddy", the Asian said and smiled, he had tears at the corner of his eyes. "Missed me?"
"Jerry", Wes said and a smiled crept onto his face.
"Yes that is my name. I'm happy you haven't forgotten it."
"Jerry!" Wes shouted and ran at the guy and flew into his open arms. Jerry hugged him tight and squeezed his eyes shut and started sobbing quietly. Wes was crying too, but into Jerry's neck. The Warblers were confused, they'd never seen any of these guys or never heard of them either. The ND were also confused but Tina and Mike smiled when they too recognized Jerry Jonston. Asian Camp's favorite guy.
"I missed you so, so much", Jerry whispered to Wes.
"I missed you too", Wes whispered back.
Both guys yelped when suddenly two sets of arms were around them and soon they were in a big group hug.
"Help", Wes laughed from the middle. "I can't breathe!"
"Alright you vultures", Justine said. "You heard the boy, shoo, shoo!" The boys let go and moved a bit back so that Wes and Jerry were the only ones hugging.
"Hey Wes", Nick called out. "Is that your brother?"
The Asian duo looked at each other and then snickered.
"Nope", Jerry said. "But you can't believe how often we get that question."
"You see", Wes said. "I just happen to look like him… sadly."
"Hey!"
"What you are not the hottest guy in the world", Wes teased and then darted off and hid behind Nathan.
"Oi!" Jerry objected. "Get back here you little twerp!"
"Got to catch me first old man!" Wes teased.
"Oh I'll show you for old man", Jerry growled playfully.
"Eeep", was the only sound Wes made before running out of the room, with Jerry hot on his tail.
"Excuse us", Mark said calmly. "We will return our little brother in one piece a bit later."
The Warblers and the ND stared as the mass of guys left, Alvaro sent a wink in Santana's direction first and Justine blew everyone a goodbye kiss. When the doors closed Kurt looked at Blaine.
"What just happened?" he asked.
"I think", Blaine said. "We finally understand why Wes can stand all of our craziness."
"Uh huh", Thad agreed. "Because he grew up with that craziness."
"I never thought I'd see the day though", Jeff said.
"What day", Nick asked.
"The day Wes showed that he is not a grownup yet", Jeff said and smiled. "He's just a kid at heart." Jeff and the others may not have been able to hear it but for the first time in a very long time the halls of Dalton was full of laughter from a group that used to fill it with that particular sound many years ago. And the happiest and most childlike was from one boy that was a grownup, but still a kid at heart.
