Two chapters in one day and then nothing for nearly a week, I'm a horrible person. In my defence I had to go into work most everyday and my sister had a house warming yesterday and guess who did ALL the food.

"Welcome to the warblers" Wes cried raising his glass as a toast to Blaine that evening when the fabulous five or should we now say the sensational six were gathered in his and Jeff's room.
"We knew you could sing but my god Blaine that was just incredible" David said after toasting the newest warbler
Blaine smiled sheepishly "it wasn't that good, it could have been improved"
"Not that good?" Wes echoed incredulously "did you actually hear yourself? That was flawless!" He could have continued praising Blaine's performance but realised that no one was actually listening to him Nick and Jeff had gone back to whispering sweet nothings in each others ears whilst Trent, David and Blaine were busy debating who was the better superhero, Batman or Spiderman. Wes chuckled as he observed his friends; everything was as it should be, six friends all happy in each other's company. Sighing happily he leaned back on the bed and rested his head on his hands.
"Penny for your thoughts?" Blaine asked getting up from where he was sat on the floor to sit next to his Asian friend on the bed.
"I" Wes started and faltered, he didn't know how to express his feelings without coming across as a bit of a wet wipe "I'm just happy you are settling in" he said finally deciding on what to say.
Blaine grinned broadly "so am I, you guys are the best friends I've ever had."
Wes snorted "you can't have had very good ones then if we are measuring up better than them" he joked but the blank expression that he received in return suggested that Wes had taken the joke a little too far "I'm sorry Blaine, I didn't mean to..."
"No, no that's ok..." the younger boy said quickly, shaking himself as if waking from a daydream, "you're right I haven't."
"Sorry I didn't mean to pry"
"It's alright Wes, it's not like I'm going to run away and never speak to you again." A few months, maybe even weeks ago this observation may have carried some weight but no longer, new Blaine wasn't going to run for the hills. "That was a joke" he clarified as Wes stared at him with his mouth agape.
"oh yeah, I know"" the older boy said disjointedly and tried to turn the conversation onto slightly less awkward topics.
"Blainey!" Jeff called from his position on the floor interrupting Wes' train of thought
"Yes Jeffy" Blaine chuckled at the nickname that the boys seemed to have adopted for him.
"I'm really rather upset with you" the blond said smiling to show that he was only joking.
"I'm sorry?" Blaine said unsure of what he could have possibly done to have upset his friend. He struggled against his instincts that were screaming at him that he should run. Blaine had upset someone and they were about to express his disappointment. Whether it would be verbal or physical he did not know. Blaine tried not to visibly cower when Jeff got up to join him on the bed.
"It was hard to get any solos before you joined but now it's going to be nigh on impossible." Jeff joked feigning an air of annoyance.
"He's only pulling your leg" Nick explained seeing Blaine's scared expression "we're really glad to have you in the group."
"Oh, ok then" Blaine smiled nervously still not feeling as comfortable in the situation as he had when the boys had first gathered in the room.
"Aww Blainey I'm sorry, I was only joking" Jeff said wrapping his arms around the smaller boy protectively, we love that you are now a Warbler."
"Really?"
"Of course now we have an excuse to sing and dance with you."
Blaine's face paled "there's dancing involved?" After being knocked around and taunted for his dancing so much at his old school the curly haired boy was reluctant to try it again.
"Not really," Nick supplied stretching out his tired limbs now that Jeff was no longer cuddled up in them, "just the two step shuffle, it's nothing exciting." Nick was promptly hit in the face with a pillow "Hey what was that for?"
"Don't diss the two step shuffle" Wes defended "it's a classic."
"Yeah classically boring"
Wes huffed and crossed his arms scowling.
"Awww Wesley" Jeff cooed "Nicky you hurt his feelings"
Blaine laughed with his friends as they giggled at Wes' expense. Life at Dalton was good.
