I don't own Glee.

I tossed and turned when I went to bed that night. All my thoughts and dreams went straight to Rachel and our 'little' predicament and I came no closer to finding a solution to the issue.

When I woke up the next morning, I felt tired from the lack of sleep I'd gotten because of trying to solve something that couldn't be solved. How could it be solved when one of us - Rachel - didn't really, in her heart, want to find a solution.

When I got into school that morning, not long before the bell for first period, I saw Rachel standing in the hallway near her locker. She wasn't alone though, Kurt and Finn were standing with her - there goes my plan to talk to her, going out the window.

Instead, I sucked it up and walked past, trying not to gag as I watched Finn bend down and kiss Rachel. When I got to my locker, I looked back towards Rachel and saw her staring back at me. She was talking to Kurt about something I couldn't quiet hear but Kurt had a massive smile on his face so I knew it must have been beneficial to the both of them.

Instead of dwelling on the situation, I grabbed some of the books I would need for the day and made my way to my first lesson. I had Brittany and Jesse in that class, shouldn't be too difficult to disclose the fact that last night I'd had sex with the girl's best friend or anything. That's if Rachel hadn't already told her.

"Blaine, we," referring to her and Kurt. "can read Rachel like a book, even if that oaf Finn can't. That means that we know that you and Rachel have something going on! Do you really think you should be carrying it on?" Brittany cornered me when we finished the lesson. In front of Jesse no less.

"I'm not talking about this." I dismissed, trying to walk away from her. No such luck. She had me blocked.

"No, we are talking about this." she demanded, pulling me back so I was facing her.

"Brittany, I really don't want too. I'm not into this right now. Nothing is going on with me and Rachel. I have to get to lesson. Bye." I said tiredly, pushing past her and leaving before she had a chance to say anything more about it.

'Damn it' I cursed myself internally. Of course Brittany would realise something was going on. I felt like someone should punch me in the face for being so stupid. I had to talk to Rachel. I didn't care that I had another lesson to get too. This was more important than History.

As soon as I was far enough away from Brittany, I pulled out my phone and text Rachel.

'I need to see you.' I text simply

It didn't take long for her to text me back. 'Meet me in the janitor's closet.' Did she see this as a sexual encounter? I hope not. Although she did have the advantage of the fact that she knew I couldn't keep my hands off her whenever I was near her.

I made my way to the closet. My palms getting clammy and cold. When I got there and opened the door, Rachel was there already.

She made a move to kiss me instantly. "Wait, Rachel, we have to talk." she backed away and raised her eyebrow. "Brittany suspects something. She cornered me after lesson, with Jesse, and said that Kurt and her could read you like a book." I put my hands in my hair and looked towards the ceiling. "Rachel." I whispered, still looking towards the ceiling. When she didn't say anything, I looked at her. She looked sad so I took her hands in mine.

"I'm sorry Blaine." she said finally. "I'm sorry for putting you through this mess and I'm sorry I don't know what I want. I could really love you." she said, starting to get tearful. I instantly pulled her into my chest so I could hug her.

"You're worth it. This can't go on for too long though. I won't allow it. You have to figure out what you want Rachel. You can't string us both along forever." I gave a sigh and pulled her to look up at me. "What are we going to do about Brittany and Kurt?" I asked her softly.

"I'll talk to them. I know to you this may seem bad but if I ask them not to tell people, they won't. Just let me deal with it." she said to me. She reached up to give me a kiss and I kissed her back. "Come on, we have to get to class. Can I come over tonight?" she asked.

"Yeah ok but make your own way there so we don't raise suspicion. When are you going to talk to Brittany and Kurt?" I asked.

"Today. I'll talk to them before the end of the day." she said. She gave me another kiss on the lips and then left the janitor's closet.

I was sat at the bleachers during my free period when I saw Brittany and Kurt heading towards me. I inwardly sighed and dropped my head into my hands.

"What do you want?" I asked as they dropped either side of me.

"Rachel spoke to us." Brittany told me. "I knew it."

"What are you going to do about it?" I asked them, looking at both of them in turn.

Brittany sighed before she answered. "I'm not going to do anything. Rachel is my sister and she asked me to not do anything, so as much as it pains me to do, I'm not going to do anything. I told her that she has to sort something out though. She can't do this forever."

"I told her the same thing." I then turned to Kurt. "You've not said anything yet. What are you going to do about it?" I demanded.

"Blaine, do you not realise how wrong this is, to ask me of something like this? I live with the guy your asking me to keep a secret from. How am I supposed to do that?" he asked, his voice being raised a little.

"Kurt, I want you to do what you like. I realise how difficult it is going to be but I thought you said yesterday that you'd do anything for Rachel if she asked." I reminded.

"I know I did, and I meant it but there is a difference." he said.

"No there isn't. Rachel kissed me and you agreed to not tell anyone, even though she'd already cheated on your step brother. Now, just because we went to the next level, you think it's different? I don't see how." I stated.

"You slept together! It's become that little bit more serious. I know for a fact that Rachel will only take that level with another person when she seriously cares for them. Why do you think it's taking so long for her to make a decision about either of you?"

"Kurt please, tell me what you're going to do?" I begged.

"I'm not sure yet. And I told her that."

"Give him some time Blaine." Brittany said soothingly.

"It just worries me that while I'm going you some time, you might go and tell Finn." I said. I was teary and a little disappointed about what his answer might be.

"I'm not going to talk to anyone about what Rachel told me but I need some time to get my head around all this." then he got up and walked away. I was about to get up and go after him when Brittany put a hand on my arm to stop me.

"Let him go Blaine. He needs some time to figure this out. His best friend has just asked him to do something he never thought she would and he needs the time to digest it and you pestering him all the time isn't going to help. You have to understand that this isn't like Rachel. She isn't the type of girl to cheat. She's never cheated on anyone."

"I'm sorry." I apologised quietly.

"It's ok. Trust me, this would be harder for me and Kurt to understand if we didn't know that she really cares about you."

"How do you know she does?" I asked.

"She told us. When she was explaining what had happened before, she started off by saying that she really cared for you. She said that she wouldn't jeopardize being with Finn if her feelings weren't real, honest and true for the both of you. Her words. I'm going to go find Kurt." then she got up and left me with my thoughts.

By the time school had ended, I was desperate to see Rachel again. We didn't have Glee today so I hadn't seen her since I'd text her that morning. When the final rang, I grabbed my bag, said goodbye to a suspicious looking Jesse, no thanks to Brittany I imagine, and flew out the door. The drive from school to my house was done in record quick time. When I got home, Rachel was already there. She got out of the car when she saw me.

"I'm sorry about what happened with Kurt and Brittany." she said as soon as she got out the car. She was immediately in my arms, hugging me tight.

"It wasn't a problem. They said they weren't going to make it an issue for us. It's fine." I soothed.

"Kurt didn't." she said bitterly into my chest.

"Kurt doesn't know what he's going to do. We've split his loyalty."

"His loyalty should be for me. I've been his best friend for years. Finn's been his stepbrother for a year at the most." she whined. I chuckled softly.

"It doesn't work like that sweetie. Kurt cares for both of you, therefore he has to make a decision that he's happy with. It's can't be rushed. You must understand where he's coming from?" I asked, trying to reason with her. She looked up at me, sad eyes staring into mine, and finally nodded. "Can we go inside now? I don't want to risk being seen and I really want to kiss you." I almost begged.

She giggled but untangled herself from me.

I let us both in the house, closed the door and when I turned back towards her, she was looking at me expectantly. I smiled at her and leant over so I could pull her into me. It was a light kiss - I didn't want things to turn passionate too soon - and when I pulled away, she looked at me. She was clearly confused.

"I'm not going to push you this time." I told her softly. She nodded again, understanding.

"Blaine, come and sit with me." Rachel said. She took my hand and pulled me into the living room. She sat down on the sofa. "Sit." she demanded and I did what I was told. She sat down next to me and took my hands in hers. "Are you ok?" I asked, a little concerned.

"I'm fine. Are you ok?"

"What do you mean?" I asked. She raised an eyebrow and I sighed inwardly.

"It's a little hard." I finally admitted. "I've never snuck around before and I know you haven't either. I didn't expect for this to happen when I started to pursue you."
"We can't keep away from each other Blaine. There is no other option."

'Easy for you to say.' I muttered, I regretted it as soon as it came out, thankfully she didn't hear me. She was right though. Whenever I saw her, I just wanted to hold her and kiss her but it didn't change the fact that I'd never cheated on anyone, or made anyone cheat. It was causing some very different emotions. She kept looking at me expectantly so I pulled her into me so I could hug her. "Do you want to watch a movie?" I asked her. "We can watch whatever you want?" She nodded eagerly. "Great. You pick something out and I'll go and get us some snacks and some drinks." I untangled myself from her and went into the kitchen.

When I came out, glasses of coke and bags of sweets and popcorn in my hand - I wasn't sure what she would want so I picked a variety of things - she menu of the movie she'd picked was on the screen.

"Moulin Rouge?" I asked her questionably, putting down the glasses and sweets and picking up the DVD case.

"I thought you said I could pick anything." she said sadly, looking at me confused.

"I just didn't think you'd be interested in watching this. I love this movie." I admitted, chuckling.

"It's a musical. Need I say more?" she asked excitedly. I continue to chuckle at her softly at her happiness and when she pressed play and sat down on the sofa, I went and sat next to her, putting an arm around her shoulders and pulling her in close.

We watched the movie in silence and every so often, I could hear Rachel quoting the movie under her breath. When the scene for 'Come What May' started, you could hear us both singing under our breath. When the movie came to an end, it was almost time to leave. I switched the movie and TV off and when I went to move so I could put the DVD into its case, Rachel, who was now laying down with me, held on to me tighter so I couldn't move.

"Thank you Blaine?" she said quietly.

"What for?" I asked, giving her a kiss on the head.

"Today. I had such a nice time. This isn't just about sex for you is?" she asked cautiously.

"Get up." I told her and pulled her up so she was facing me. "I admit that when I first met you, maybe it was a little about sex but I didn't know you then, but since I've got to know you, I want so much more than that. Why do you think that I've been taking the fact that you still wanted to be with Finn?" I asked.

Instead of answering, she put her arms around me and gave me a hug. "That's why I said thank you. Finn's always about having sex now, ever since I lost my virginity. Every time we're together now, he wants to have sex." she said bitterly.

I didn't want to say anything in fear of mouthing off about Finn and upsetting her, so instead, I kept my mouth shut.

"I'm going to go. It's getting late and I need to get home." she said, getting up.

"Are your parents home?" I asked.

"No. I'm on my own again tonight. Well, no, not really. Brittany is coming over in an hour. We're going to have pizza and watch movies. I won't be holding her hand or silently singing to her though." she said smiling at me, giggling softly. "Actually, there might be singing." she gave me a kiss. "Bye Blaine."

So, no smut because I wanted to show that Blaine really does care for Rachel. This isn't just a cheating fic, this is a fic about a girl and a boy who really care for each other. It's kind of messed up, I get it.
