Chapter 8

Sam was the first to wake up the following morning with Blaine's hair tickling his nose. He looked down and as usual Blaine was tucked into his side with his head resting on his shoulder. This is pretty much how they always wake up, but this morning it feels different. Sam can't help but feel like this is how they should wake up every morning.

He doesn't know if it's because he completely opened up to Blaine, finally letting him know the real Sam, last night or what. He just knows that this feels so right. He refuses to let that thought take root though. While Blaine did say that he was having second thoughts about getting back together with Kurt, he did not say that it definitely wasn't going to happen.

And he didn't want to go through getting dumped again by someone he gave his heart to so they can get back together with their soul mate or whatever. Plus with Blaine he figured he would be losing a whole lot more, he would be losing his best friend.

Pushing those thoughts aside, he figured since he couldn't go back to sleep, he might as well get up. As he tried to ease his arm from under Blaine, he stirred starting to wake up too.

"No, don't go, I was warm and comfortable." Blaine whined.

The room was a little chilly from the central air running.

"As much as I would love to stay and cuddle with you, my bladder is telling me it's time to get up. Then I was going to make us some breakfast. How does some granola French toast and bacon sound?"

"With some fresh strawberries, bananas and maple syrup?"

"That's the only way to eat it."

"Throw in some fresh coffee and you have yourself a deal."

"Dude, coffee goes without saying."

"I guess if you're going to feed me, I can let you go."

Blaine rolled over to let Sam get up. He stood stretching his arms up over his head. Blaine admired the way Sam's muscles flexed and the strip of skin that showed when he did this. Sam looked over and caught Blaine staring at him.

"Are you enjoying the view?"

Blaine meets Sam's eyes a little embarrassed he got caught staring, but decided to go with it.

"If you're going to put it on display then I'm going to look."

Sam just shook his head, walking out of the room and heading to the bathroom. Blaine stretched out in the middle of Sam's bed staring up at the ceiling. He's thoughts went back to the conversation they had last night. He was glad that Sam opened up to him, but he couldn't help but wonder. Would things have been different if he knew back in high school what he knows now?

Would he have still tried to get back together with Kurt, with that misguided proposal, or would he have followed his crush and try to start a relationship with Sam? They would be together now, waking up every morning in each other's arms. But a part of him still felt like even though he was starting to see another side of Kurt their relationship deserved another chance.

He was so confused and really needed some advice. So he got his phone off of Sam's nightstand and called the one person he knew would give him the best advice there was rather he agreed with it or not.

After two rings, the phone was answered.

"Good morning sweetheart, to what do I owe the pleasure of this early morning call?"

"Morning mother, I haven't really talked to you since I moved and thought I'd give you a call. How are things at home, how's dad doing?"

"Everything is fine here, and you father says hello. Now, do you want to tell me the real reason for this call?"

"What makes you think I have another reason for calling?"

"Because I've known you for 18 years, so I think it's safe to say that I know when something is bothering you, and you need to talk about it so talk to me."

"You always could see right through me, even if you can't see me. I'm just really confused right now and can use some good advice."

"What are you confused about?"

"Kurt, and before you ask no I'm not planning on proposing to him again. I heard everything you said the day I moved, I was just considering dating him again. Sort of a let's get to know each other again."

Blaine's mother was not happy to hear this, but decided not to say anything until she heard everything Blaine had to say.

"Ok, so what happened?"

"Since moving here, I've seen a side of Kurt I never knew existed and I don't think I like it. He's been mean and condescending and he has such a negative attitude about Sam being in New York and living in this house with me. Then there's Sam. He told me something about himself last night that kind of changed the way I look at him, but not in a bad way."

"I'm going to take a guess and say he told you that he's not as striaght as you thought?"

"Why would you think that that's what he told me?"

"You said that what he told you changes everything for you. And honey, I've known for some time that you have feelings for Sam. But you just never thought it possible for him to return those feelings. Then you have this notion that since Kurt was so many first for you, first real boyfriend, first love, that he should be your last. And that's not true."

"Mom, Kurt and I were together for almost two years. If I don't give our relationship another chance it's like saying our time together meant nothing."

"Blaine, when Kurt moved to New York and pretty much forgot all about you, to me that was him saying that your time together meant nothing. Besides, if you ask me you already tried to give it another try when you proposed to him and he said no."

"He said no the proposal, but agreed that once I got here we would talk about giving it another try."

"Blaine, just hear me out. Did you ever stop to think that you and Kurt were not meant to end up together? That your time with him was only meant to give you your first experience in a real relationship? That this was fates way of preparing you for the person that you are meant to be with?"

"And you think that person is Sam?"

"Honey, I don't know if it's Sam or not, but I do know how happy you were when you and Sam got close. I know that your feelings for him are more than a crush, and I'm willing to bet that he has feelings for you too, but is afraid of getting hurt. I also believe that Kurt is most definitely not that person."

"You certainly gave me a lot to think about. Thank you for listening."

"I will always be here when you need to talk. I may not always say what you want to hear, but I will give you the best advice that I can give."

"I know, alright I have to go. Sam made us breakfast this morning and he's calling me."

"Ok, well if you need to talk some more don't hesitate to call me. Tell Sam I said hello. I love you."

"I love you too mom. I'll talk to you later."

Blaine ended the call with his mother and went into the bathroom before heading downstairs.

Blaine's mom hung up the phone and looked over to her husband with a smile on her face.

"What was that all about?" James asked his wife.

"It seems that Sam came out and told Blaine that he's not 100% straight last night."

"He did, wow you called that one."

"Yes I did, and now our son realize that Sam may still be an option for him, if only he would let go of this idea of getting back together with Kurt." Laura said looking deep in thought.

"Oh boy, I know that look. What are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking that we should visit our boys soon. I never did get to see the house all furnished."

James just shook his head and went back to reading his paper.

"It's about time, what took you so long?" Sam asked as he handed Blaine a cup of coffee.

Blaine sat at the table where Sam had it set up for them to eat.

"I was on the phone with my mom, who said hello by the way."

"Is everything ok?"

"Yeah, I just called her because we haven't talked in a while."

They fell into relaxed conversation while they ate, enjoying each other's company as always. They decided to just hang out around the house today and wait and see if they were going to be hearing from their job today. The manager had gone out of town and they were waiting for him to get back so they could go complete their paper work and get their uniforms so they could start work soon.

They had just finished eating and were clearing the dishes off of the table when the door bell rang.

Blaine looked up at Sam and asked,

"Are you expecting company this morning?"

"No, are you?" Blaine shook his head no and went to answer the door.

When he opened the door he was surprised to see Kurt standing there. He had a bakery bag in one hand and a carrier with two cups of coffee in the other.

"Kurt, what are you doing here?" Blaine asked as he opened the door more for Kurt to come in.

"Since you bailed on me last night, I figured we could have breakfast together this morning."

Kurt went walking back towards the kitchen, but when he got through the arch way he stopped short when he noticed Sam rinsing off dishes and putting them in the dish washer.

"But it looks like I'm too late. Sam."

"Sam looked up and nodded, Kurt." then went back to the dishes.

Blaine walked past Kurt and went back to clearing the table off.

"Yeah, Sam made us breakfast this morning. Sorry, but I'm stuffed. I couldn't eat another bite if I tried. You can have a seat at the bar and eat while we finish cleaning up."

"Not what I had in mind." Kurt mumbled as he sat at the bar.

He sipped his coffee and ate one of the pastries while he watched Blaine and Sam. Kurt was starting to get an uneasy feeling watching the two of them interact with each other. They were laughing and joking around, and every so often there would a light touch on the arm, shoulder or back. It was like he wasn't even there. Right then he decided he needs to step his plan up to get Blaine back. He was not about to lose him and this house to the likes of Sam Evans and his fluctuating sexuality.

Once they were finished Sam excused himself and left the kitchen to give Blaine and Kurt some privacy. Not to mention the fact that he really didn't want to be in Kurt's presence right now. He's comments from last night were still fresh on his mind.

When Sam left Blaine went and sat on the other stool at the bar across from Kurt. Kurt was hoping he would suggest that they go up to his room or at least in the living room where it was more comfortable. He decided not to say anything about it.

"So, what are we doing today?" Kurt asked. "I figured we could take a stroll in the park and then go and see a movie. Then we could grab a late lunch and go from there."

"I really didn't have any plans for the day. Sam and I were just going to lounge around the house and wait for the restaurant to call so we can go in and finish our paper work."

"No, no lounging around the house with Sam. I want to spend some time with you, just the two of us. Let's go out and do something. I haven't had any alone time with you since you moved here."

"I don't know Kurt. I was up late last night and then got up pretty early this morning and I just want to chill. Plus I told you our job will be calling for us to come in sometime today."

"They have your cell # right; they can reach you if you're not in the house. And why were you up late? It was still early when you left Callbacks and you said you were going right to bed when you got home."

Blaine had to think fast. He was not about to tell Kurt he was up late talking to Sam about his bisexuality.

"I did go to bed, but I could not fall asleep right away for some reason."

Kurt wasn't buying his story and was about to question him about it when Sam came back into the kitchen talking on his phone.

"I promise I will tell him. I will give him both of your messages. Alright I have to go, tell mom I said I love her and will talk to her later. I love you guys to, by."

Sam hung up his phone shaking his head.

"What was that all about?" Blaine asked.

"My mom called to check on me since she didn't get a chance to see me before we moved here. Then Stevie and Stacy had to tell me how their trip to Disney World was. Then I was giving messages to give to you. Mom says hello to her second son, Stevie said he wish we went with them because we sing better than the characters there did, Stacy said she saw a real life prince, but he was not as handsome as you and they both want to know when we will be coming to visit again."

"Aah, I'm going to have to call them back later on today."

"You came all the way down stairs to tell him that? It couldn't wait until later?" Kurt asked.

"Kurt!?"

"No, I came down stairs to tell him that The Lounge called and the manager wants us to come in today at 1 o'clock. Here Blaine, you left your phone in…..the bathroom."

"Oh, thank you." Blaine knew he left it in Sam's room.

"No problem. I'm a go start getting ready." Sam walked out the kitchen without giving Kurt a second thought while Blaine turned to Kurt,.

"You need to back off of Sam. This is his house too and he does not need a reason to go anywhere in this house that he wants to go. If you can't respect that then maybe you shouldn't come over."

"Never mind that, when did you go to Kentucky with Sam?"

"We drove there for a few days at the end of Christmas break when I got back from New York. Then we drove there again during our spring break. Why?"

"Your parents were totally against you spending the night over my house, but they let you go out of the state with Sam to visit with his family? Tell me you can see what's wrong with that picture."

"My parents let me go with Sam because he wasn't my boyfriend so they knew there would be nothing sexual going on."

"Oh sure, that's it, it has nothing to do with the fact that you parents like Sam more than me."

"You know what Kurt; I'm not having this conversation with you again. I have to get ready to go to work. I'll call you later."

"Fine, but we are not done talking about this."

Blaine didn't respond. He walked Kurt out then went to get ready for the day.

Blaine and Sam spent all of the afternoon at the restaurant filling out forms, getting their uniforms and just observing how the place ran. They ate lunch at the lounge and discovered that the food there was really good. By the time they left it was early evening so they grabbed a light diner and decided to catch a movie. When the movie let out, they headed home.

As they were walking in the house Blaine got a text from Kurt,

'Santana, Dani, Rachele and I are going out to a club and I was hoping you would want to join us'

It did not go unnoticed that Kurt was not inviting Sam, so he took it upon himself to invite him.

"You feel up to going out tonight with our friends?"

"Who all are going?" Sam asked.

"My guess is the same ones from last night."

"I think I'm going to sit this one out, but you can go."

Blaine typed out a quick reply

'Not tonight. They actually started training us today and we just got in the house. All I want to do is crash.'

Blaine intentionally left out the part about diner and a movie with Sam. Kurt read the text and was fuming. As he sent out another text he thought to himself 'If Blaine doesn't want to spend any time with me I know someone who will', as he waited for Elliot to reply.

Blaine and Sam stretched out on the couch and turned the T.V. on to find something to watch. Needless to say the T.V. ended up watching them.
