Notes:
Let's welcome Quinn to the story!
Quinn, Friday, June 25th, 11.07 pm
Something is off with Blaine. He doesn't drink like that and he doesn't get drunk like that. I know Kurt is dealing with him, but I'm not sure Kurt can handle a drunk Blaine alone.
"I'm gonna go check on Kurt and Blaine." I tell the others.
"I'm sure Kurt got it under control." Sam says. "Stay with us."
Stay with me is what he's actually saying. I know he doesn't want to be left alone with Mike and Tina. Pretty soon they will be in each other's face and won't care about anything or anyone else.
"I'll be right back." I promise Sam and wrap my arms around him from behind to give him a quick hug before I leave.
I step out onto the street and look around, wondering which way they went. I don't have to wonder for long, I see them just a little to my left. Kurt is standing against a wall and Blaine is leaning in very close to him. Then Kurt pushes Blaine away and he nearly falls backwards but Kurt catches him again. I run over to where they are.
"Is everything okay?" I ask.
They both look up at me at the same time. Blaine is definitely drunk and can't focus his vision. Kurt looks a little shaken.
"I think I need to get him home." Kurt says. "Can you help me get him to my car?"
"No, I don't want to go home. I want to drink and make music and laugh." Blaine drunk giggles.
"I think you've had enough beers for tonight babe." I tell him. "Come on, let's get you home."
"Do you know Kurt's got a date?" Blaine says in a way that makes it sound like it's a revelation. "Isn't that just awesome? Our baby Kurt is growing up and wants to go out and play with the big boys. We're not good enough for him anymore Quinnie."
Kurt is quiet, but he rolls his eyes and slowly shakes his head. I can see him take calming breaths and bite his tongue to not say something. I think he's hurt by Blaine's words.
Blaine sounds sort of jealous, mocking him like that, which is a wild thought. "I think you should maybe not talk right now." I say to him.
"You know what we should talk about?" Blaine asks, but doesn't wait for me to answer. "That Kurt doesn't want to kiss me. He claims to be gay but-"
"Enough Blaine!" Kurt barks out in a sudden burst of anger. "Just shut up!" Then he adds in a calmer voice, "Let's just go home."
Blaine doesn't say anything after that. He lets himself be led to the car by Kurt and me. I don't say anything either because somethings is obviously going on that I'm not aware of. Blaine falls asleep the second we lay him in the backseat.
"You don't have to go home now, you can stay and hang out with the others. It's not every night you get free beer at a bar. Go have fun." Kurt says when I get into the passenger seat next to him.
"I'm not leaving you alone with him now Kurt, not after whatever that was." I say and text Sam, Mike & Tina to let them know that we're taking Blaine home.
Kurt's quiet.
He's got an air around him that makes you want to back off and leave him alone. But that's not me. "What was that exactly?"
Kurt sighs but stays silent for a while. I guess he's contemplating whether or not he should tell me. He looks tired and upset. Or maybe more dejected than upset.
"Blaine has this idea that he wants to know what it's like to kiss a guy." Kurt pauses before he continues. He shifts in his seat, and I can tell how uncomfortable this is making him. "Since he found out I'm gay he wants to kiss me. Or for me to kiss him. I don't even know if there's a difference… I think he wants me to be grateful for his offer." Kurt shakes his head in what can only be disbelief.
"Okay… that's a little…"
"Weird." Kurt fills in.
"Yes, that, and also a tad bit unexpected." To say the least. "Do you want to kiss him?" I have to ask because I could see Kurt falling for Blaine, it wouldn't be the craziest idea.
"No!" Kurt answers quickly. "This is just something he has gotten into his head, a fixation. He doesn't really want to kiss me. He's just curious I guess. Something he wants to do just because. If that makes any sense…"
I look back at the sleeping Blaine. It doesn't make any sense and it doesn't sound like him to be honest. Trying to kiss Kurt just for the fun of it. That would sort of mess with their friendship, and their friendship means everything to Blaine.
Unless there is something more to it…
"You don't think that he like… likes you?" It's another wild thought but this night is being kind of wild.
I haven't seen anyone looking as perplexed as Kurt is looking then and there.
"What do you mean?"
"Do you think Blaine has feelings for you, you know romantic feelings," I spell it out for him, "and that's the reason he wants to kiss you."
"No!" Kurt says like the idea of Blaine liking him is outrageous. "No, he's just drunk. You know him. He's as straight as it gets. You know the number of girlfriends he's had."
I do know, but somehow I don't quite believe that's all there is to it…
Notes:
Somebody needed to bring attention to the real issue, right? ;)
