.:My Man:.
Chapter 7: Monday-Valentine's Day
Wes' Dorm
Today's the day! You'd think Blaine would be excited, wouldn't you be? Instead of excitement pulsing through his veins he had nerves making his hands and legs tremble, butterflies ripping his stomach to shreds, and thoughts racing in his mind.
Blaine was sort of hiding out in Wes' dorm trying to keep unseen until tonight. He hasn't been able to sleep since his dream and eating, in the last few hours is hasn't been a thought. He just paced around the tiny room trying to breathe. He would try to sit down, or occupy his mind with something else but everything went back to how nervous he was about tonight. He has never felt this terrified to perform before, but then again this wasn't just any performance. Wes just watched him from his desk chair. He didn't know what to do or say so he just let him pace and hopefully get it out of his system, but after the third hour something had to give.
Knock! Knock!
Blaine jumped about ten feet in the air then stopped dead in his tracks. Wes couldn't help but laugh silently as he got up and went to the door.
"Who is it?" Wes asked remembering he had a hideout in his room.
"It's Kurt, I just wanted to know if you've seen Blaine? I was going to see if he wanted to hang at my house and watch some horror movies as a sort of anti-valentine's day thing until we had to get to Breadsticks. He wasn't in his dorm, and his phone is turned off." Kurt said a little disappointed. He felt like he hasn't seen or talked to Blaine in forever.
Instead of trying to avoid the question with an 'I don't know' he decided to make something up to ease his mind.
"Um yeah, he went to the mall wanting to get out for a few." Wes lied peering at Blaine who had a scared shitless face as he held his breath.
"Oh okay, well I guess I'll see you later tonight at Breadsticks then." Kurt said happy that he was out, but disappointed because he was hoping to get him alone and get the nerve up to ask him out or at least tell him he wanted to be more than friends.
I guess he'll have to wait… Kurt was so tired of waiting.
"Later Kurt!" Wes finally said releasing a sigh of relief. He turned to see Blaine let out a breath.
"Oh my god that was close." Blaine said breathing hard trying to catch his breath. He began pacing once more and Wes was tired of seeing how crazy Blaine was getting.
"Dude, will you calm down for like two seconds please. You're making my head hurt with your pacing and worrying." Wes said grabbing him by the shoulders and shaking him. Blaine's face softens and Wes saw a scared little boy and his mother hen instincts kicked in.
"What's wrong Blaine? Are you second guessing?" Wes asked serious pulling him down to the bed.
"No, no I… I want to do this more than anything, but what if he rejects me? Or he doesn't like me singing to him in public? What if he doesn't like me in that way and-" Blaine was talking nonsense, but he couldn't help but keep asking himself what if, what if, what if.
"Blaine! Take a deep breath!" Wes cut in, and Blaine complied, breathing in deeply and letting it out," Okay. One, Kurt won't reject you he's your best friend and would never do that to you. EVER! Two, he will love you singing to him because it's romantic. Plus he's the one who said it was a good idea when you asked. And Three, Kurt is in love with you, just as much as you're in love with him. He told me himself. He said, and I quote, "I am in love with Blaine Anderson!" Believe me he likes you in that way." Wes was talking softly trying to comfort Blaine, but Blaine could hear the annoyance in his voice, annoyance at his over-thinking mind.
Blaine nodded his head as he processed everything Wes was saying.
Blaine, come on Kurt is going to love this, he loves you, you love him… you love him. Just breathe, you can do this, don't make this boy wait any longer. Grab your guitar and put on that charming smile of yours and sing your soul out to him.
Blaine thought as he closed his eyes and breathed. His whole body relaxed as every nerve disappeared suddenly. He opened his eyes and saw Wes clearly for the first time today and just hugged him.
"Thanks dude, I don't know what I would do without you." Blaine said.
"Okay, okay, just stop hugging me. I've had enough hugs for a lifetime. Are you okay now?" Wes asked pushing away from Blaine's hold.
"Yeah, I just needed to be reminded that this isn't some crazy fantasy, that this is real, his feelings and mine." Blaine said blushing.
"Well it's real, so don't go what if-ing things again because I will beat you down Blaine Warbler!" Wes said laughing. Blaine joined in the laughing and they both decided to relax on the bed and watch t.v. until they had to get to Breadsticks at six.
They decided that The Warblers would meet at Breadsticks, Blaine riding with Wes. They would hide him out of sight in the dining room until Kurt finished singing, then SURPRISE!
