14. phew. Still own ziltch.

A couple of months later, Chaz was in Hanover, letting himself into Justin's room. The Windsor flung himself onto the bed, narrowly avoiding squashing his boyfriend, and glared at the ceiling. "Hey."
"Hey..." The English boy looked up from the textbook he'd been reading and smiled at his boyfriend, who was still making faces at the light fitting.
"It's nice to escape Windsor for a while." He shoved his hair out of his eyes. Justin looked down at him with a grin.
"What did they do now?" he was, of course, referring to the Brightman Twins. Chaz laughed.
"Nothing much – not yet, at least. They just... keep freaking the new kid out."
"Blaine?"
"Yeah... they've given him a nickname already and I think he's a bit... stunned... by how accepting everyone is."
"Huh?"
"Well, he's gay, isn't he?" When Justin blinked in surprise, Charlie rolled his eyes. "Didn't you see the way he was looking at Logan?"
"Ahh, poor Blaine's fallen for him, has he?"
"Mm-hmm."
"I can't say I'm surprised... I mean, Logan's quite cute."
"You're not leaving me for him, are you?" Charlie teased, Justin laughed and lay down next to him so he could kiss him.
"Never."
"Good. 'Cos that would be rubbish."
"It would." Justin agreed, resting his head on Chaz's shoulder.
"Have you met Blaine properly yet?"
"Not yet. I thought I should let him get used to Windsor."
"Good plan..." Charlie's voice was vague. Justin twisted to face him.
"What's up?"
"Nothing, I was just thinking..."
"About what?"
"I was wondering if... no, forget it."
"If what?"
"If... we should tell Blaine we're dating."
"Chaz..." Justin looked away, biting his lip. "I just... look what happened last time we told someone."
The Windsor rubbed his arm, remembering. "I know... but... the guys here aren't going to be like that, are they? We need to tell them eventually."
"I don't want you to get hurt again." Justin muttered. Chaz pulled at his blazer until he turned to face him again, kissing him deeply. Justin kissed back, letting Charlie pull him closer. "Chaz."
"I won't." The Windsor Prefect murmured, still snuggled close.
"Are you sure about telling Blaine?"
"Yes."
"Okay, then. Now, or...?"
"Let's go now, before you change your mind back." They kissed again, quickly, before standing and heading to Windsor.

Justin waited by the common room door as Charlie went to collect Blaine, who had been sitting in a corner by himself. The trio made their way upstairs to Chaz's room, Justin sitting next to his boyfriend on the bed while Blaine sat on the couch. The new boy was biting his lip anxiously. "D-did I do something wrong?"
Both Prefects shook their heads. "No, not at all. We just wanted to talk to you, that's all."
"Oh... why?" Blaine looked confused. Chaz took Justin's hand gently.
"Just... we're here if you ever need to talk to us, okay?
"You... you're together?" Blaine asked, surprised. Justin nodded shakily.
"Yes, but... in secret so far. My parents didn't take it very well."
"Oh... sorry."
"You don't need to be sorry!" Chaz said firmly. "You had nothing to do with it. Now, why don't you go join in the Twins nerf war? We'll be there in a minute."
