Chapter 6
It's been a little over a week since Blaine and Sam had officially moved into their new house. They really appreciated Blaine's parents having the place furnished for them. That was one less thing they had to do. So they were able to unpack and get their things put away rather quickly. The only room that remained empty was the back room behind the kitchen. Sam was waiting until classes started so he would know exactly what he needed to get.
It was Friday night and Blaine and Sam were waiting for their friends to get there for a quick tour of the house before heading out to Call Backs. Kurt, Rachel and Santana arrived a little after eight. Elliott and Dani were meeting them at Call Backs. Sam answered the door and greeted their friends while Blaine was coming down the stairs. They all exchanged hugs before they started walking them through the house. The girls chatted Sam up while Kurt stayed by Blaine's side.
"Damn Trouty, being besties with the Hobbit really paid off for you huh?"
"Santana, be nice. Sam, don't pay her any mind. You know how she is."
"Pipe down Berry. I was just stating an observation. I didn't mean anything by it."
"I know Santana. I wouldn't expect anything less from you. This place is amazing though right?"
"I'm jealous that you have actual rooms with walls and doors" Rachel said.
"You guys got it furnished and set up fast. How'd you manage that?"
"Actually Blaine's parents had the place furnished for us before we moved in. We just had to unpack and put our stuff away."
"Lucky bastards, come on and show us the upstairs. I need to remember what a real bedroom looks like."
So Sam took the girls upstairs. He figured he could use the back stairs to come back down and show them the rest of the first floor.
Mean while Blaine was showing Kurt around the first floor.
"This is really nice Blaine. I might have chosen a different décor, but this is nice" Kurt said looking around the dining room.
"Yeah, well mom and dad had the placed already furnished when we moved in. Since Sam and I both liked it we're just going to keep it as is."
"Of course, well let's see the rest of the house."
They moved onto the next room.
"This is the kitchen. It has all brand new appliances and a bunch of different gadgets and mixers and blenders that Sam got more excited over than I did."
Kurt ignored the Sam comment as he walked around the island checking the kitchen out.
"I love this kitchen. This is the kind of kitchen I need to properly prepare my French cousin that you love so much. You have to let me cook for you one sometime."
"Sure" Blaine said with a forced smile. He really was not a fan of French food.
Moving on, Kurt asked "What's this back here, a storage closet?"
"No, it's an extra room that the previous owners had added on."
"This room is amazing. Look at those windows. I know you get great sun light in through them."
"Yes we do, but…"
"You can do so much with this room."
"I know, but…"
Again Kurt cut him off.
"I can see the two of us sitting back here on a vintage chase lounge with a glass of wine and watching the sun set. I know I don't live here 'yet' he thought to himself, but you have to let me decorate and make this room beauty."
Just then Sam, Rachel and Santana came into the back room.
"I needed a back stair case like that at home for when I wanted to sneak in the house after curfew" Santana said.
Looking around Rachel said, "This is a nice room. I like the large bay windows. What will you guys use it for?"
"This is going to be my art studio once school starts" Sam answered.
"An art studio! You're wasting this beautiful room on an art studio? Whose crazy idea was that?" Kurt asked.
Sam looked at Kurt like he wanted to say something, but bit his tongue for Blaine's sake.
"It was my idea Kurt and my parents agreed. Sam needs a space for what every art projects he may have once school starts, and this room is perfect. That's one of the reasons we picked this house."
Kurt just looked around the room thinking what a waste of such a beautiful room. Well that's just something else I will have to change when I move in he thought. They finished showing the house, although Kurt didn't really seem all that interested anymore, and headed out to call backs.
Once they got there Blaine and Sam were introduced to Elliott and Dani. Everyone was enjoying themselves drinking and talking and listening to NYADA students perform. Surprising no one from their group felt like singing tonight.
"I like this place. It has a good vibe to it. It seems like it has a good crowd also" Blaine said.
"That's why we come here all the time. Good music, drinks aren't expensive and for the most part good music" Kurt said.
"Oh please, we come here all the time because you two divas" Santana said pointing between Kurt and Rachel, "can get up on stage and screech out whatever broad way tune that comes to mind, and these people think it's the greatest thing since sliced bread."
Santana's outburst no longer surprised anyone. Even the two new members of their group were use to it.
"Have I told you how much I love you Santana" Elliott asked, while Dani just smiled at her.
Kurt leaned over towards Elliott putting his hand on his arm and said "Please don't encourage her."
Blaine had noticed the closeness between Kurt and Elliott all night, but surprisingly it did not bother him. He figured he was too occupied thinking of how to deal with the tension that was building between Kurt and Sam.
He could tell that Kurt's little comments were starting to get to Sam. Blaine just hoped he could squash it before it got out of hand. Just then a waitress walked over with a bottle of beer on her tray and was about to sit it down when Blaine said,
"No one ordered a beer here."
"No, but that handsome gentleman at the bar bought it and asked me to deliver it to and I quote 'The most beautiful man he has ever seen'."
Again, before she could put the beer down in front of the person it was bought for Kurt spoke up saying,
"As nice as that is I can't accept a drink from a perfect stranger, so could you please take that back and tell him I said thank you but no thank you."
The waitress just shook her head and said,
"I'll keep that in mind if someone ever wants to send you a drink. This is for the blond Adonis here, not you."
She placed the beer down in front of Sam while he looked over to the bar to see who sent it. The guy was hot. He had a deep olive complexion with brown eyes and shoulder length brown, wavy hair. He raised the beer he was drinking and smiled at Sam. Sam raised the beer that was just put in front of him and smiled back.
Everyone at the table looked at him with a shocked expressions on their face. No one knew this, but Sam had decided that once he moved to NY he was no longer going to hide that fact that he was not as straight as everyone thought. He discovered that he was attracted to both males and females a long time ago just never felt the need to share that with everyone. Not even Blaine knew this about him and he was Sam's best friend. Oh well, looks like the cat was about to strut out of the bag tonight.
Kurt was the first one to find his voice.
"You can't accept that Sam. That won't be right."
"Why can't I accept it? It would be rude for me to send it back."
"Because you will be giving that guy false hope, making him think that you might be interested in him."
"Why wouldn't I be interested in him? His hot and he thinks I'm beautiful, which is a little weird but nice."
"You're not interested because he is a guy and your straight Sam."
"Yeah, about that, I'm not as straight as you all think I am."
"You're not gay Sam." Kurt said rolling his eyes.
"I didn't say I was. My sexuality is fluid, but if you have to label me then I guess I'm bisexual."
Blaine could not believe what he was hearing. How come Sam never told him this? He felt a little hurt. Of course Kurt didn't give him a chance to respond or react.
"Oh please. There is no such thing as a bisexual man. That is just an excuse men use to sleep with other men but are too afraid to walk down the street and hold a man's hand."
No one at the table knew what to say. They just all looked at Sam to see what his response was going to be.
At that point something in Sam snapped. He had had enough of Kurt and his opinions and little smart comments and his face showed it.
"You know what Kurt, that is about the most insulting and ignorant thing I have ever heard you say. Where the hell do you come off saying that there is no such thing as a bisexual man?"
Kurt was about to respond, but Sam put his hand up to stop him.
"I'm not done yet. How would you feel if I said there is no such thing as a gay man, that that is just an excuse for men who are intimidated by woman and who are so afraid of pussy that they would rather take a dick up their ass. As a gay man do you feel insulted by that statement? I sure as hell did by what you said. Now if you'll excuse me I'm going over to the bar to thank that guy for my beer and to hopefully have a more pleasant conversation then the one I just had."
And with that Sam got up and walked over to the bar. The four friends from McKinley didn't know what to say. They never saw this side of Sam before. Even Kurt was speechless.
Leave it to Santana to break everyone out of their stupor with something only she would think to say.
"Hot damn, I don't like men but this new assertive Sam got my lady parts tingling."
"Yours and mine both" Dani added.
"Hell, he got my manly parts tingling and he's not even my type" Elliott said.
Rachel just looked at the three of them and shook her head. Kurt still hadn't said anything, and Blaine kept glancing over to the bar where Sam and his new friend were talking and laughing. He couldn't help but feel a little hurt and jealous. Rachel reached her hand over and placed it over Kurt's hand.
"Are you ok?" she asked him.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I can't believe he just blew up at me like that", then turning to Blaine "and I can't believe you just sat there and didn't say anything in my defense."
"What was I supposed to say Kurt? You attacked him with your bigoted attitude towards bisexuality."
"You could have said anything since he pretty much attacked you too with his gay men comment."
"No Kurt that comment was strictly for you. Sam knows where I stand on the matter. Now if you'll excuse I need to use the restroom."
Sam watched as Blaine got up and walked to the bathroom. He knew he hurt him tonight. Sam had wanted to tell Blaine the truth about himself when it was just the two of them, but Kurt just kept pushing his buttons to where he just lost it. He knew Blaine would have a lot of questions and he was prepared to answer them all, just not here in front of their friends and certainly not with Kurt around.
When Blaine came out of the bathroom he looked up and caught Sam's eyes. Sam's heart brook when he saw just how much he hurt his best friend. Blaine looked over to the table where the rest of their friends were sitting, but had no desire to go back over there. So he looked one more time over at Sam then headed for the front door deciding that he need some air.
Sam saw Blaine leave out and decided to go out after him. No one noticed that they both left. When Sam got outside he noticed Blaine leaning against the wall a few feet from the entrance.
Sam walked over and leaned against the wall next to Blaine.
"Hey" Sam said looking over at his friend.
"Hey Sam, you came out to check up on me?"
"Yeah, you needed some to get some air huh?"
"Yeah, it just started to get a little too… yeah I needed some air."
"Look dude, I know you must have a lot of questions…"
"You think!"
"And I am more than willing to answer all of them, just not here. Can we talk at home?"
"I just don't understand why you kept this from. I thought we told each other everything."
"We do, and I will tell you everything at home."
Just then their friends came outside, having realized that both Blaine and Sam were no longer inside.
"Is everything alright out here?" Rachel asked.
"Yeah, everything is good Rach" Sam said walking over to her, while Kurt walked over to Blaine avoiding eye contact with Sam.
"Blaine, are you ok? I was starting to worry when you didn't come back to the table."
"I'm fine. I just needed some air."
"Look, you were right. It was not you responsibility to defend me in there, and I shouldn't have expected you to. I'm sorry for taking my frustration out on you. Next time I will take it out on the person who deserves it" Kurt said looking discreetly over at Sam.
Blaine looked at Kurt and just shook his head.
"Look, are we going to stand around and journal all night about Sam giving Kurt a verbal smack down or are we going to your friend's party, Elliott? Because I needs to get my drink and party on." Santana asked.
Kurt just shot Santana an evil look while Sam asked Elliott what party.
"A friend of mine is having a party at a club not far from here and said he would put our names on the list to get in."
Kurt turned to Blaine,
"Yeah Blaine, we can go have a few drinks, dance and just relieve the stress of tonight."
Sam looked over at Blaine and said,
"You guys go ahead. I think I'm just going to call it a night head home."
"Are you sure Sam? I promise you'll have a good time" Elliott asked.
"Yeah I'm sure. Thanks for the invite though."
Blaine looked up at Sam when he heard him say he was not going to the party.
"I think I'm going to head home with Sam. It's been a long week with the move and the unpacking and I just want to crawl in my bed and get some sleep."
"You can't go home Blaine. The night is young and I want to dance with you" Kurt said.
"Maybe some other time, I just want to go home."
Kurt stepped closer to Blaine putting his hand on his chest
"I could come back to your place and crawl into bed with you."
Blaine gently removed Kurt's hand and told him not tonight as he walked over towards Sam.
"Alright then, let's get this show on the road" Santana yelled as she hailed a cab for the ones going to the party.
As they got in the cab, Kurt looked back at Blaine who was getting in a cab with Sam. He felt like he was losing him before he even really got him back and he did not like that at all.
In the cab both Blaine and Sam were quiet the whole ride back to their house. Once they got home both boys got ready for bed still not saying anything to each other. Sam was sitting at the head of his bed, with his back against the head board, flipping through channels when Blaine knocked and let himself in. He crawled up on the bed next to Sam, took the remote and turned the TV off and turned to look at Sam.
"You said you would answer all my questions once we got home. Well I hope you aren't planning to go to sleep any time soon, because I have a lot of questions. So let's talk."
