A/N: Thank you guys once more for the awesome reviews, I love reading through them! :)
The song used in this chapter is 'Heaven Can Wait' by We The Kings (the acoustic version) It's a lovely song, you should give it a listen! :) Enjoy~!
After Glee Club Cameron had started to walk home, he was content now that he knew how Damian had felt about the whole thing—Damian, like him, was just a coward, he was unable to find the right words to justify what he had said but the song just made it so clear to Cameron.
"Cam! Hey Cam wait up" Cameron heard Damian call from somewhere behind him; he turned in surprise to find Damian doubled over, panting after running after his nerdy friend. Cameron raised his eyebrows.
"Damo…what are you doing?" Cameron asked, before he knew it Damian had regained his breath and pulled him into a tight hug, Cameron responded instinctively to the hug—his arms coiling around Damian's waist and pulling him closer, just to feel his best friend.
"I'm sorry" Damian muttered into Cameron's neck, he felt Cameron's body shake.
"Don't—Damo, I'm sorry" Cameron responded in a whisper, Damian pulled away and looked at Cameron like he was crazy.
"I'm the one who said something so unforgiveable—I don't even know why it slipped out" Damian babbled, his voice sounded borderline hysterical.
"Yeah but I was just waiting for you to apologise instead of acting on it—I didn't want to damage my pride" Cameron muttered to the boy, stroking his back reassuringly. "Hey—why don't we just go back to mine and talk it through instead of standing out here?" Cameron offered, he pulled away from Damian and his breath hitched as Damian smiled brightly at him.
"I'd like that" Damian responded, Cameron laughed nervously and both boy's made their way back to Cameron's house. When they arrived Damian noted that Cameron's parents weren't there again; he hadn't met Cameron's parents yet, whenever he came round Cameron's house they were always out.
Cameron led Damian up to his room as usual and both the boy's sat awkwardly on Cameron's bed in silence. Damian opened his mouth to speak but closed it abruptly—unable to find the right words. Cameron burst out laughing catching the Irish boy off guard.
"Man, what's wrong with us" Cameron managed to say through laughter "we've never been awkward around each other" Damian grinned at his friend. "If you want to say something just say it Damo" Cameron reassured.
"I was just gonna apologise again—I was seriously out of order" Damian muttered, guilt taking over once more "It's just—you said that about Quinn and I wanted to say something to hurt you, you know? I—oh god I wanted to hurt you Cam." Damian choked out, Cameron could see Damian's eyes watering up, Damian seemed to notice too because he put his head in his hands, covering his face from Cameron's gaze.
"Damo—Damo" Cameron wrapped his arms softly around Damian's shoulders, he pulled the boy against him—the scenario was very much like when Damian had his bike stolen from him. "Come on—shh, I shouldn't have insulted Quinn" Cameron muttered against Damian's hair. "You really like her, huh?" Cameron asked, he felt Damian nod from underneath him.
"Yeah—I just, something about her." Damian remarked. "I've never felt like this about anyone" Damian added, Cameron felt his stomach twist in something indescribable, he was happy for Damian—he honestly was. He was glad that Damian had found someone who he genuinely liked, but part of Cameron felt like Quinn would change him—that Damian would care more about her than him.
"Have you told her yet?" Cameron muttered half-heartedly. He had to try and show that he was happy for Damian; he couldn't insult Quinn—look where that had got him last time.
"Not yet, I was planning on telling her through song. I'm not sure what song, though" Cameron raised his eyebrows and moved to grab his guitar; Damian looked at him, confused at first but then his face stretched into a smile as he realised Cameron was going to show him the right song to sing.
Here's a song for the nights
I think too much and
Here's a song when I imagine us together
Cameron casted a lingering stare at Damian, his face screwed up in almost a painful expression as he carried on singing and strumming the chords with intense passion.
Here's a song for when we talk too much
And I forget my words
He stopped playing and locked his eyes onto Damian's face; his eyes traced every single part of his Irish friend's expression before he abruptly started to play the music again.
Heaven can wait up high in the sky
It's you and I
Heaven can wait deep down in your eyes
I'm yours tonight
Lay your heart next to mine
I feel so alive
Tell me you want me to stay, forever
'Cause heaven can wait
Cameron finished quickly, his voice giving in at the end of the first chorus, he looked out of breath suddenly. Damian smiled and clapped his hands excitedly.
"Cam, that song's perfect." Cameron managed to smile at the compliment, Damian suddenly looked incredibly serious. "Cam, would you help me perform it to her?" He asked, catching Cameron off guard. Cameron just stared at Damian for a while; Damian bit his lip and carried on. "Like you could play guitar while I sing—I'm not asking you to join Glee Club or anything just—help me, please?" Damian just looked at him with a sad face, Cameron sighed and gave in. It couldn't hurt just playing the guitar for Damian could it?
Here's a song for the one who stole my heart
And ran so far, that cupid couldn't catch her
Damian winked at Quinn who blushed and looked away, a large smile on her face. Cameron's chest pounded, he ignored the feeling and continued to play.
Here's a song for the kid who aims so high
He shot her down
Cameron and Damian exchanged a knowing glance and Cameron started to sing along with Damian on the chorus. Cameron had to admit, their voices sounded amazing together and by the looks of the rest of the Club they thought so too.
Heaven can wait up high in the sky
It's you and I
Heaven can wait deep down in your eyes
I'm yours tonight
Lay your heart next to mine
I feel so alive
Tell me you want to stay forever
'Cause heaven can wait
Cameron finished the chords and everyone clapped and cheered for them. Quinn stood up and moved next to Damian, she pecked him on the cheek and Damian's pulled a comically surprised expression. Cameron's stomach jumped, he felt ill.
Before Cameron could leave he felt a hand on his shoulder, he turned around to face Mr Schue.
"You're really talented" Mr Schue said with a smile, Cameron lifted his eyebrows in astonishment. He rubbed his neck abruptly, he felt nervous for some reason.
"Uh, thanks. I wouldn't go as far as to say talented" Cameron mumbled, Mr Schue smiled once more.
"We could really use a talent like yours" He remarked, Cameron looked over at Damian and Quinn, then to the rest of the club, his eyes finally reached Mr Schue's once more.
"Where do I sign up?" Cameron asked, Mr Schue grinned widely and patted Cameron on the back happily.
If Damian and Quinn were going to become an item he had to make sure that he could spend as much time with Damian as possible.
