Chapter 9: Meeting

Rachel smoothed her clothes nervously as the car crossed the state line separating New Jersey and New York. The last time she had been here it hadn't ended well and she was sure that her presence wasn't welcome at all. She bit her lip and looked down at her phone. They still had a while until they arrived and she needed something to distract herself. She used her phone to access her favourite blog and found that a new post had been added mere moments ago.

Klaine AU!

I just found the cutest Klaine AU! If anyone is willing to write a fic about it, let me know and I will happily post it on my blog for people to read. If you have any more Klaine AU's, let me know as I would love to read them. I may even create a master list so that anyone can have access to them.

Below was a gif that someone had made of a Klaine AU. It made Rachel smile and she hoped that someone would write a fic around it. She had tried her hand at writing her own fanfiction but surprisingly wasn't comfortable in posting it – it was possibly the only thing which she was introverted about. She had read practically every fiction about Kurt and Blaine out there and was desperate for more.

The blog and its numerous posts kept her occupied until the car turned into the studios and she shifted nervously in her seat once more, the blog soon forgotten. The time had come for her great apology; she just hoped that Blaine and Kurt would accept.


Kurt and Blaine looked up from their spot on the couch when there was a knock on Blaine's dressing room door. "Come in," he called and they watched as one of the assistants to the director peeked her head around the door.

"Sorry to interrupt," she smiled apologetically, "but Miss Berry and her fathers have arrived. They are ready for you and waiting in the director's office."

"Thank you," Kurt murmured. She nodded and withdrew her head, closing the door with a soft click. Kurt cupped Blaine's cheek, rubbing his thumbs over his fiancé's soft skin. "Are you ready to do this?"

"Yes, are you?" Kurt nodded and Blaine gently took his hand. "Her being in high school doesn't excuse what she did, you know."

"I know," Kurt assured him. "Trust me. If we can prove that it was her, we will be pressing charges immediately. I just have to understand why she would do this to us."

"Okay," Blaine nodded and he stood up. He tugged on Kurt's hand to pull him up and together they headed to the director's office, where the meeting was being held.

Rachel's breathing hitched when Kurt and Blaine entered the office. They gave her a brief glance, their expressions deadpan, before nodding to their director and taking a seat opposite her.

"Mr and Mr Berry, this is Kurt Hummel and Blaine Anderson," the director introduced and they smiled.

"We know. We are big fans," Hiram explained. "This is our daughter, Rachel."

"Yes. We've met," Blaine said coldly and Rachel looked at him, her expression sheepish.

"Rachel," Leroy nudged her and Rachel cleared her throat.

"I am so sorry," she began her apology. "I know what I did was wrong and I let my excitement for becoming a big star – which will happen one day, I'll have you know – get in the way, which I know is unprofessional. I swear I didn't mean any harm towards you two; you are my favourite on screen and off screen couple ever and I wouldn't ever do anything to jeopardize that."

"Then why did you post that video?" Kurt asked coolly and Rachel shivered. She was used to hearing the cold tones used on people in the show but never once did she believe she would be on the receiving end of such a remark.

"I didn't record or post the video but I saw the person who did fleeing the studios," Rachel explained.

"Who was it?" Blaine demanded and Rachel looked between the two actors.

"I'm not sure exactly but I've been doing some research into finding out who it could be," she quickly told them. "I've narrowed it down to a few eccentric fans and I know the person is male."

Kurt and Blaine shared a look, having a silent conversation with their eyes. Rachel sighed, unable to contain her jealousy. She wished she had someone to share meaningful looks with – she was hoping that person would be Finn at some point in the not-so-distant-future.

"I really am sorry," she repeated. "I promise I will do anything to help catch the person who did this."

"Thank you for your apology," Kurt eventually said and Rachel's shoulders sagged in relief. "We are glad to hear that it was not you who posted the video and we will not pressing charges against you. We can't speak for the studio, though."

They looked to the director, who sighed. "If you can help us narrow down who posted the video we won't press charges but we will be banning you from the studios."

"Of course," Rachel nodded, relieved that she was just getting banned. "I have a list of who it could be here."

She passed over her research, which she'd kept clasped in her hand throughout the entire exchange, and Blaine took it from her, scanning it briefly.

"Thank you," he muttered, not looking up from the paper, and Rachel grinned giddily at him.

"Thank you for coming all the way out here," Kurt said, his lips quirking into a half-smile. "We accept your apology and understand that you intended no harm."

Rachel nodded and her fathers smiled at the actors gratefully, "It was no trouble."

"I'll have someone show you out," the director told them. They all stood and Rachel watched her two favourite actors leave the room. She felt disappointed that this may be the last time she saw them face to face but she was happy that she had had the opportunity to meet them again.

As the director's assistant led them out Rachel craned her neck to try and get one last glimpse of the couple but they had already disappeared from sight.


Blaine placed his hand on the small of Kurt's back and propelled him to his dressing room. It was closer than Kurt's and he was eager to have some privacy with his fiancé. Kurt didn't protest, allowing Blaine to push him along. They quickly ducked inside and Kurt looked at his fiancé worriedly. He knew that Blaine was upset; he had been hoping that it was Rachel. If it had been then this would all be over but it wasn't her and the hunt continued, albeit aided somewhat by Rachel's research.

"This isn't fair," Blaine shouted and Kurt winced. He always hated it when his fiancé yelled; it brought up memories of his childhood, which Blaine knew. His fiancé crossed the room in one quick stride, seeing Kurt's expression, wrapping his arms around him tight. He knew the recollections that raised voices evoked from Kurt; thoughts of Kurt's past which often made Blaine tremble with anger. How his father could to that to his son Blaine had no idea and it made him furious that Kurt had been at the hands of abuse for so many years, his cries going unheard.

"Sorry," he murmured and Kurt shrugged, pulling away from his fiancé.

"It's okay," he whispered but Blaine refuted this with a quick shake of his head.

"No, I shouldn't be taking my frustration out on you," Blaine said. "Sorry."

Kurt sighed, stepping into Blaine's space and wrapping his arms around his fiancé's neck. Blaine nuzzled his face into Kurt's neck, seeking comfort that only Kurt could give him.

"We'll find them," he murmured, gently rubbing Blaine's back. "We'll get the video down. We'll sort this out. I promise."

Blaine pulled back and gazed into his fiancé's beautiful eyes. His eyes were one of his top five things that he loved most about Kurt – though compiling an actual list of Kurt's divine attributes would be an impossible task to attempt; Blaine was sure there were more than he would ever be able to count.

"I just wish it was over so we could focus on our future," Blaine admitted, sliding his hands along Kurt's hips. "I don't want our wedding being overshadowed by all this. It's meant to be a celebration of our love. I don't want our fans to ruin our day."

Kurt nodded in agreement, though it killed him to have to wait. Although he wanted the perfect wedding he had waited long enough to get engaged to the man he loved; he just wanted to be Blaine's husband now.

"All the more reason to find this person," Kurt reminded him and Blaine managed a small smile.

"How are you doing with everything?" He asked, squeezing his fiancé's hip gently.

"Fine," Kurt replied shortly and his fiancé gave him a look of disbelief.

"Really, Kurt? You're going to try that on me?" He raised a questioning eyebrow and Kurt sighed.

"I'm annoyed," Kurt eventually admitted. "I'm tired, I'm embarrassed, I want to marry you without some creepy stalker fan watching our every move." Kurt was working up speed now and Blaine let him continue, knowing his fiancé had wanted to get this out for some time now. "I know we signed up for people being interested in us when we were contracted this TV show but I did not sign up for stalkers and private videos of us and DAMN IT, BLAINE!"

Kurt dropped his head onto Blaine's shoulder, his body shuddering. Blaine held his fiancé close, whispering soothing sentiments into his ear.

"I don't want anyone to find out about my past," Kurt whispered brokenly, his voice barely audible through Blaine's shoulder.

"I know you don't," Blaine murmured. Kurt hated that even Blaine knew about his past and he was always scared that someone would find out about the unrepeatable things he had endured at the hands of his father. Blaine was the only one who knew everything and only a few others knew about his parents. "I promise I will do everything I can to ensure that doesn't happen."

Kurt nodded into his neck and sighed, his hot breath fanning against his fiancé's skin. Blaine hated seeing him like this; hated what his parents had done to him as a child and what he had been through. He wished for the millionth time that Kurt had had a happy childhood. He was going to do everything he could to make sure that both his and Kurt's lives remained private.


Rachel sat quietly – a rare occurrence for her – in the backseat, her eyes glued to her phone. She was determined to do anything to help Kurt and Blaine. She had already eliminated another fan from the hit list she had given them and she was now down to five people, who were looking very suspicious for the crime.
Her dads had been watching her through the rear-view mirror but hadn't said anything. They were proud of their little girl for helping but were still disappointed in her for sneaking into the studios.

As Rachel researched frantically a sudden thought struck her. What if she could get the number one Klaine fan to help? Rachel quickly brought up the blog and navigated her way to her 'ask' tab, quickly typing a question.

Ask me anything!

The Number One Klaine Fan, I need your help! Kurt and Blaine – the actors – require assistance in finding out who posted the incriminating video. I have narrowed it down to a few suspects but I need your advice. Will you help?

Rachel posted the question. Now, all she could do was wait.
