Author's note: firstly I want to apologize for the wait. It was way too long, and I'm so so sorry, I feel really bad about it. I could give you excuses but they all sound cheap because it basically comes down to business and writer's block. Thank you so much to all of you who are sticking with this story. Hopefully the klaine and progress in this will make up for my terrible amount of time. Reviews are crack to me. I read all your reviews, and I take it into account when you suggest things. Even if you have a one shot prompt, i'll see what i can do. Lastly, the Klaine in this is a little heavier, not much, but a bit, i wasn't sure what the readers wanted. Let me know so i know what to write for you in future chapters! Hopefully this was worth the wait. Anyway, thank you i love you all, without further ado, here is chapter 13
The days passed numbly for Alexis. Nothing really had changed, Kurt and Blaine were still very much together, Summer still ate with her dutifully even when Alexis didn't talk (which was often), Jake still stared at her wishing he could do something to help.
One day in glee club, it got to be too much for Jake. Alexis was staring at the floor, arms wrapped around her stomach, not exactly looking sad, just empty. Jake couldn't take it; he stood up from his seat and walked over to where Alexis was, and sat down beside her. Alexis looked up, surprised.
"What are you-"she began, Jake cut her off
"I'm not going to ask you to talk about it, I'm not asking for reasoning or, or anything. I just want to talk, like friends. Not to be harsh, but it's been quite a while since it all went down, and frankly all this silence isn't good for you" Alexis was silent for a moment.
"What do you want to talk about?" she asked slowly, slowly turning to him properly.
"Umm... what do you think about the whole Summer and Puck thing?" Jake asked, searching desperately for a conversation that she would get somewhat involved in. He had found one.
"Oh my gosh, how do you even know about that?" Alexis asked incredulously
"How could I not, it's so painfully obvious! Their eyes never leave each other, which probably wouldn't be as bad if they were looking at each other's faces"
"I know, at least you don't have to hear the details about everything they've...done" Alexis started blushing "I shouldn't have told you that"
"Don't even worry about it" Jake started quickly "I sorta assumed anyway, I think everyone does. Honestly it seems like the only one who hasn't caught on is Lauren. You'd think she'd realize, i mean, she lives with the girl!"
"Personally, I think part of her knows and she's just intentionally ignoring it. Like, she knows but doesn't want to believe it. Like she's in denial or whatever"
"Now that you say that, you could be right... actually, that's probably it, you're totally right!"
"Funny, eh? Believe it or not that happens sometimes" Alexis smiled.
Soon after that the bell rang for them to go home. Jake immediately moved to leave
"Wait...um... Jake, do you wanna maybe... come to my house to, uh, hang out?" Alexis asked uncertainly. The grin on Jakes face grew greatly in strength.
"Sure"

*crash*
"Shhh Kurt, we have to be quiet!" Blaine whispered urgently into Kurt's shoulder as Kurt's foot had just knocked Blaine's binder onto the ground. The two boys had come home together with the notion that they could do some particularly tricky homework together and... well.
Blaine's shirt was unbuttoned part way, revealing his toned, slightly sweaty chest, and his pants were noticeably tighter in the front. Kurt had somehow found a way to be on top of him while simultaneously pressing kisses onto his back.
"Why is it that you always end up on top and I always end up with my shirt like this?" Blaine murmured breathlessly
"Does it bother you?" Kurt teased as his fingers dropped to brush over the bulge that had formed in Blaine's pants"
"I...no...hnnnnnng" Blaine moaned loudly
"Blaaaaaaine we have to be quiet" Kurt joked
"Oh shut up" Blaine said, still out of breath and with eyes that begged for more. Kurt was just about to fill his wish when the front door clicked and opened, and voices sounded in the hall.
"That'll be Alexis" Kurt said, disappointed at the interruption
"Yeah... but it sorta sounds like... is that a guy!" Blaine exclaimed. Kurt slid off the bed, peered out the door and whipped around, a gleeful expression on his face
"It is! It's a guy! You see what this means, don't you?" He asked excitedly
"That my little sister is currently alone. In her bedroom. With a guy?" Blaine asked, a terrified, stressed expression on his face
"t means she's starting to get better, you're getting your sister back! I may even get my friend back out of the deal. Of course, it will still take time, but it's progress!" Kurt sighed happily
"Right. Progress." Blaine muttered
"This is a good thing, Blaine" Kurt said. Blaine didn't seem to agree, he seemed to just want to push it aside and ignore it
"Don't want to talk about this." Blaine said, tone changing "Get over here. Forget my sister's love life and live yours" Kurt smiled, and went to do just that.

A few hours later Alexis' and Jake's goodbyes were heard through the house. Alexis was walking back to her room when Kurt and Blaine popped into the hall
"Sooo, who was that?" Kurt asked in a singsong voice. Alexis' cheeks got a bit pink.
"Uh, friend from glee club" she responded, then paused before turning to Blaine "Ok I know what you're thinking and please don't freak out he is just a friend-" Blaine cut her off
"Don't worry, I'm just relieved you found someone to kiss other than my boyfriend"
"Blaine" Kurt said in a warning voice "low blow"
"No, Kurt, it's ok, I sorta deserved that" Alexis said, to Kurt's surprise, then turned for her room
"Wait!" Kurt called "You haven't even let me ask, is he a good kisser?"
"He's just a friend!" she exclaimed as she shut her door
'uh huh' Kurt thought 'and how long will that last?'
