AN: Because "First Time" seems to be inspiring for me, here's a bit of Blaine after the parking lot fight. Inspired by lyrics from "My Life Would Suck Without You" by Kelly Clarkson.


Half walking, half stumbling through the night, Blaine headed toward home. Even sober, the walk from Scandals to the upscale neighborhood his parents lived in would take awhile. In his current condition, Blaine knew it was going to take longer but there was no way he was turning back. Not only was he still angry but he was also afraid to find that Kurt wouldn't be waiting for him.

The physical exertion and cool night air started clearing his head of the alcohol induced hazed that had settled in. With that added clarity his anger started fading to be replaced with embarrassment. He knew the whole subject of sex made Kurt uneasy. Of course he wouldn't want to do it in the back seat of a car in the middle of a parking lot, even if it was the parking lot of a gay bar. Add in his inconsiderate behavior and drunkeness and Blaine realized he was lucky that Kurt hadn't just left him at Scandals in the first place.

But then Kurt would never do that to anyone - let alone someone that he loved. Blaine knew that Kurt loved him, though at times like these he wondered why. He realized that he was adding up quite a list of idiotic acts that his boyfriend was able to easily forgive. Blaine couldn't help but wonder how long that would last. How long would it be before Kurt finally decided he couldn't take anymore?

"I sure wouldn't keep giving me second chances," Blaine muttered as he kept walking.

The honk of a car horn a few minutes later startled him. Hearing a car slow down, Blaine glanced over his shoulder to see an unfamiliar car approaching. Even though the alcohol was slowing his senses, the teen had been through enough in his short life time that his body tensed ready to either defend himself or flee. As the car pulled up alongside him, he recognized the driver.

"Get in and I'll give you a ride home." Dave Karofsky told him.

Realizing how fool hearty the idea of walking home was, Blaine didn't argue. Despite their issues in the past, Blaine knew Karofsky had been acting out due to the inability and fear of accepting who he was.

"How did you know I was walking this way?" Blaine asked, pulling the passenger side door behind him.

"Kurt told me. He said you guys had a fight and asked me to make sure you got home okay."

Blaine's guilt grew. Despite him walking away, Kurt was still trying to look out for him. He didn't deserve someone like him.

"You know, you're not going to find anyone better than Kurt out there," Karofsky commented. "You're a lucky guy. I hope you realize that."

Blaine looked over at Karofsky, trying to judge if the guy was serious or not. Nothing on the burly teen's face gave him any indication that he wasn't. Instead of replying though, Blaine went back to staring out the window.
