AN: Inspired by lyrics from "Breathe Again" by Sara Bareilles. Another drabble using Wes. I think I need to write a story with the Warblers in it.
With a 'good job, everyone,' Wes dismisses the Warblers for the afternoon. As Kurt's fellow Warblers quickly start vacating the room, he's left sitting in the chair he had collapsed into when Wes had started talking. Kurt was tired, and as his eyes followed Blaine as he headed out the door, flanked by two of Warblers that he couldn't name if asked asked simply because he was focused on Blaine, Kurt knew his fellow Warbler was part of the reason. Yes, catching up with classes because of the mid-year transfer was kept him busy. Adjusting to the new schedule the longer commute dictated didn't help but they weren't the things keeping him from sleeping at night. Laying awake in bed thinking about Blaine was the reason he wanted to take a page out of Finn's book and throw a shoe at his alarm clock because he had only just fallen asleep.
"A picture lasts longer," Wes comments, causing Kurt to jump. Smiling at the newest Warbler's reaction even as Kurt turns his head to look over his shoulder at him, the senior continues. "Oh wait, you already have one in your locker."
Wes' smile grows as he's sees the color creep into Kurt's pale features. He had seen the picture of Blaine that Kurt kept in his locker the first time they had walked from French class to Warbler practice together, having stopped at lockers on the way. Kurt had sworn the older teen to secrecy about the picture and moved it to a harder to see spot within the locker.
"Tell him how you feel," Wes suggests, to which Kurt immediately shakes his head. "Why not? The two of you would make a great couple."
And that statement makes Kurt stare at the head of the Warbler council. Not because of what was said, but because it's coming from someone who he knows to be straight. If there had been any doubts about Wes' sexual orientation the display Kurt had seen between Wes and his girlfriend at the Lima Bean would have wiped them out entirely.
"What? I'm not just nice to you and Blaine because of the school's policies. Just because I might not share or understand your sexual preferences doesn't mean I wouldn't be happy to see either one of you find that someone special. And if it just so happens your each other's someone special, then that is even better."
"Blaine is just a friend. That's all," Kurt replies, both surprised and touched by the senior's words. It's just one more thing that shows him he isn't at McKinley any longer.
"Okay, but you're not fooling me. You're as bad at lying as you are spying."
And with that said, Wes leaves the room and Kurt is alone. If Wes can see how he feels about Blaine, who else can?
