A/N- Lots of people based on people I know in this chapter. I figured I'd use their quirkiest quirks whilst writing, since these characters will only be around for a little while longer. Did you all like my little twist at the end of chapter 6? I think you did. It took me less than a day to write this chapter. :) Hope you enjoy it!
Seven: A Midsummer Day's Insanity
Noah "Puck" Puckerman was standing there. At Lexi, Blaine and Danny's theatre camp. In the same kind of t shirt they'd been wearing – an old camp shirt with his first name on the back. He was staring at Kurt with a look of confusion and embarrassment on his face.
"Puck?" Kurt repeated, louder this time.
Puck moved closer to where Kurt, Blaine and Ophelia were standing. "Kurt, what are you doing here?"
"I brought him with me, Robin," Blaine said.
"B, I didn't even see you," Puck said. "You brought Kurt? I knew you guys were friends, but why'd you drag him to an event at your old theatre camp?"
"Two reasons," Blaine replied. "One, he's never met anybody here. Two –"
"We're dating," finished Kurt, "and he wanted to torture me by forcing me to sit in a hot car with him and my showtunes singing cousin and her friend for 3 hours."
"You're dating?" Ophelia asked. "That's awesome!"
Across the room, a small group of people had gathered around Lexi – who apparently knew the most about Blaine's possibly non-existent boyfriend (but was pretending she knew a lot less than she actually did). Danny was standing behind her silently, a look of amusement on his face. She was saying, "…well I know that B's here, I saw him get out of the car. But, no, I haven't actually talked to him since we got here."
"Have you seen his boyfriend? Does he really exist? Is he really here?" asked Jacqueline, a blonde haired girl who was a few years younger than Lexi and Danny.
Lexi laughed. "Yes, he exists! And he's really here! I don't know why you guys doubt our dear Blainie so much. I can't wait to see him and his boyfriend, myself."
"And what about your other friends?" said Evi, who had just appeared behind Lexi apparently out of nowhere.
"AAAAAAAACK!" screamed Lexi. "Kevin Miller, don't DO THAT!"
All of the people standing around them laughed. Danny said, "Kev, don't listen to her. That was brilliant."
More people had joined their little group now. Jacqueline's boyfriend Matt had joined them, along with a girl named Michaela who usually went by Mikey. Lexi continued to talk to Evi. Danny drifted away from them, looking for Kurt and Blaine. He found them talking to Ophelia Stewart and Noah Puckerman.
"Hi Robin, Hi Ophelia," he said as he approached. "B, everybody's talking about you over there. Lia and Lea are absolutely freaking out because they heard you had a boyfriend."
Kurt looked distressed, but Blaine grinned. "Don't worry, love, they're not homophobic – they've been trying to find me a boyfriend for the last 2 or 3 years."
Kurt sighed in relief. "Well, that's good then."
"On the other hand, I'm pretty sure that Nick and Maria don't believe Kurt exists," continued Danny amusedly.
Tentatively, Ophelia poked Kurt's shoulder. He looked at her questioningly. She declared, "He exists."
Puck, Blaine and Danny cracked up. Kurt, who was unused to Ophelia's quirks, said, "Well… that was… odd. We ought to go find 'Gitta, before she says something terrible about me while I'm not there."
"How terrible could anything she says about you be?" asked Puck. "Al is harmless."
"She's known me as long as we've been alive, Puck. She could say a lot of things," answered Kurt. As an afterthought, he added, "And she's definitely not harmless."
As they approached, Kurt heard Lexi say, "…all I'm saying is that it's good to see B as happy as he's been since he asked Kurt out. Actually, Kurt's pretty happy, too. His whole family has noticed how great he's been since Christmas time." She paused. "Speaking of Mr. Anderson and the future Mr. Anderson-Hummel, here they are!" She turned around towards them. "Hello, boys. Where did you two run off to? I see you ran into Robin and Ophelia."
"Hi Lexi!" squealed Ophelia, pulling Lexi into a tight hug.
"Phil!" said Lexi. "Phil, you're squishing my lungs!" Ophelia released her.
"Ophelia, hi! How are you?" Evi asked.
"I'm pretty good," replied Ophelia. "School's boring, but that's no surprise."
"Oh my gosh! Kev, Lia, Lea, Nick, Maria, Matt, Jacqueline –oh would you two stop making out for a few seconds? – you guys all have to meet Kurt!" exclaimed Lexi. "I mean… well… uh… BLAINE INTRODUCE YOUR BOYFRIEND!"
"I thought that you said you hadn't met Kurt yet," commented Evi.
Lexi scrunched her face up in concentration. Then she corrected, "Actually, I'm pretty sure that all I said was that I was excited to see them. I've definitely met Kurt, he's my cousin – he and Blaine drove here with me and Dan this morning!"
"Uh, guys, this is Kurt," Blaine said nervously. "You already seem to know that. He's my boyfriend."
Lea and Lia squealed and attack hugged Blaine. "Finally!" exclaimed Lea. Lea (whose full name was actually Eleanor) was several inches taller than Blaine. Lia (whose full name was Amelia), on the other hand, was about the same height as him.
Evi held out her hand to Kurt. "Nice to meet you. My name's Evi."
"I'm Kurt, obviously," replied Kurt. "You know, you're one of the few people from this camp that I've actually heard about."
Evi turned to Lexi and Danny. "Talking about me behind my back, eh?"
Lexi, Danny, Blaine, Puck and most of the rest of their camp friends who were there (with the exception of Matt and Jacqueline, who had returned to making out) laughed uproariously. "Well, at least this time you weren't standing right behind me!" responded Lexi.
"I'm missing something here," Kurt observed.
"Yeah, you are," Puck replied, trying to catch his breath. "Sorry, dude, it's an old inside joke…"
"Long story," added Ophelia.
"But at least we know Kev isn't a serial killer!" Lexi exclaimed. There was renewed laughter.
"I'm not even going to ask," Kurt said.
"That's probably a good idea, love," replied Blaine.
"Awwwwwwwww!" chorused Lexi, Lea, Lia and Maria.
Blaine rolled his eyes. "Ali, Amy, Nora, Maria – cut it out! What did I even do this time?"
"You called him Love," Lea (Nora) said.
"It was absolutely adorable," Lia (Amy) added.
Maria finished their thought, adding, "Plus, it's just great to see you with a boyfriend."
"I just think you guys are adorable in general," said Lexi. With the sole intention of making Lexi's brain explode from the cuteness, Kurt leaned over and kissed Blaine. Lexi bounced up and down with excitement.
Blaine pushed Lexi towards Danny. "Your turn."
Lexi giggled, remembering the situation in which Danny had first asked her out. Nick said, "Wait, what?"
"Oh, yeah… I didn't even mention it, did I?" Lexi mumbled. Louder, she said, "Danny and I are dating."
"OH. MY. GOSH. WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US?" exclaimed Lia.
"That's not really important right now," said Kurt, shoving Lexi closer to Danny. She stumbled and Danny caught her. Before Kurt or Blaine could push them again, Danny kissed her.
A/N- Hope you enjoyed it. In case you haven't figured it out already, I love using out of the ordinary names and nicknames - for example: Lea/Nora for Eleanor, Lia for Amelia... and Ophelia (and her nickname, Phil).
