A thanks to those who reviewed: eaglegirl1202 (I am so glad that I managed to make you happy with that kiss. :D), Aledda (I moved you? D'aww yay! I don't think it's really a crime since they don't exist... Greyson's not going to be much of a douche for the rest of the story. He's just... overly protective. That last line of your review seriously made me fawn. Is it possible to fall in love with a reviewer? Let's push that wedding so far up.), Salem Fae Carrol (Grandma's such a psycho... I love Adele! I was listening to Last Dance by Camera Can't Lie while writing that (and will be for most of this act) so I totally get the sentimental/sad feelings. :D Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked that chapter!), perchance to wake (Greyson's a good guy... he just had a lot to struggle with in Act I. I mean his brother came out, his mother left, and he had completely change all of his views now that he knew someone gay. Expect an explanation to show up some time soon on Grey.), PmYuna (Well you'll get your answers this chapter... I hope...), CanAnyoneHearMe (Haha. I'm so glad you like that I'm adding that in.), LukeorMarch (Maybe not smut but some stuff is definitely going to happen there. They were singing at the same time at different places. Noah and Blaine in their cabin, Lily and David and the others in their "auditorium". Not OC David. But not McKinley!David. Warbler!David.), Emma van Horn (On it! -starts writing-), scenekid masochist (I thought Christianity was a nice thing to throw in. I mean... Not everyone's atheist. I know I'm not. Haha. I would turn it into a book if I thought people would buy it and if it would be allowed. Maybe I'll be great and change the names and locations and publish it someday. XD), and SebastianWinters (Haha. I love his version (though, to be honest, I just love Part of Your World)! I hope you continue to love it!).
A:N – Vacation has gone by WAY TOO FAST. In case anyone missed the announcement: I got into college! Yay me!
This Chapter: Did Greyson give Blaine Paul's letter? How did he react if he did? Now that Blaine's back at camp there's no reason for Wes to stay, right? And who are Nick, Jeff, and David? More importantly, is Dalton a valid choice? Lots of questions. So little answers.
Greyson stared down at the paper in front of him with a pool of dread clawing at his stomach. What was he supposed to do? Was he supposed to ignore the note? Was he supposed to act as though he had never seen it?
He guessed that that was the easy way. That way he wouldn't have to deal with Blaine falling even farther apart than he already was. That way he wouldn't have to feel guilty and try to fit his already broken brother back together again.
But that didn't seem like it was the right way.
As much as Greyson hated to admit it Blaine deserved to know. He deserved to know that the boy that he was very close to falling in love with – if he wasn't already in love with him – had left him because he believed that a straight camp could fix him.
But, goodness, Blaine wasn't old enough to deal with all this shit yet.
Greyson glared up at the ceiling, glancing over at Cameron as she lounged beside him on his couch. Nurse Cameron Everna. Greyson was pretty sure she was the one for him. Maybe she'd know what he was supposed to do?
But even that didn't seem right. Greyson didn't want her to know about it. He didn't want to involve her in something this personal. He didn't want to be involved with something this personal. Greyson wanted to go find a hole and crawl in it and be able to think thing through. He was done with spontaneity. It was never his thing.
"What's that?" Blaine appeared out of nowhere, snatching the letter out of his hands and Greyson didn't make any move to take it from him.
Instead he sat there and watched as Blaine's look of teasing turned into one of confusion. And then one of total lack of understanding and comprehension. Heartbreak. Greyson knew that look all too well.
His hand closed around Blaine's wrist and he slid down to the floor, pulling Blaine down with him. There were tears and sobs and silence and worry and God did Greyson feel like the crappiest older brother in the world.
"We shouldn't do stuff like this anymore." Noah stiffened at the whispered breath over his lips, his eyes flying open and his lips disentangling themselves from Blaine's neck.
"What?" Because really, what in the world was Blaine getting at? And why in the world was it causing him to panic so much? Noah wasn't that kind of panicky guy. When Danielle broke it off with him, yeah he was pissed. When Santana told him that all they were doing was sex he was a little annoyed and he had definitely returned that necklace he had bought her for Valentines Day but that was besides the point. Because Blaine was a guy. A gay guy but a guy all the same. And he was a guy that Noah liked kissing and holding and joking with and, okay, maybe Noah thought that he was kind of hot and maybe Noah was a little bit too happy to see him again but he wasn't about to think about those feelings. Because that's not what Noah did. He had learned plenty of times that feelings got you nowhere.
Blaine's own hazel eyes were gazing up at Noah with such vulnerability that Noah was surprised that he felt more privileged than scared. "This... making out thing." Blaine gestured between the two of them but made no move to shuffle away from Noah.
"Why?" And seriously, was he only capable of one word answers or something? Maybe it was the proximity or the buzz that was still flowing through his veins but all Noah wanted to do was to stop talking and get back to kissing.
"You're not... I'm... This just is such a bad idea." Yet there was a small smile pulling at the corners of Blaine's lips and Noah's hand was moving up and down his side (outside the shirt thank-you-very-much).
"Those are always the most fun." Noah felt himself smile before he leaned back down and pissed him again, their noses rubbing against each other, only not in an uncomfortable manner like Noah usually found it. It was slow and it was nice and it caused those butterflies to flutter in Noah's stomach faster than they had been before.
Noah's hand kept up its steady repetition over Blaine's side, and Blaine's hand kept it's steady grip at the waistband of Noah's jeans. It was nice. Noah felt nice. He wasn't pushing to go any farther and he wasn't being pushed to go any farther. It was a nice change in pace.
And things were going great.
Until a knock interrupted them. Blaine pulled away and Noah didn't even bother to hide the disappointed groan that passed through his lips. "Ignore them. They'll go away." He said softly, stealing his lips again, his tongue pressing a tiny bit at Blaine's teeth, prodding his mouth open.
Only they didn't go away.
If anything, they got more insistent. "If you don't open this door right now Noah Puckerman I will fucking cut you!"
"Go away Dani!" Noah growled out, but he was pushed up in a seated position, Blaine following not long after.
"What the fuck are you doing? Wanking or something?"
And damn it Noah could be wanking if he really wanted to, but Blaine sort of had that half panic look on his face again and Noah hated that look. He hated it. It caused a physical pain to shoot through his body, flowing all the way down to his feet before rising back up and settling in his stomach.
Maybe telling Danielle that he was wanking wasn't exactly the best thing for him to say but he wanted her to go away. He wanted Blaine to smile again and, for some reason, that wasn't happening with the arrival of Danielle like Noah would have expected. "Yeah! So go away!"
Danielle was silent for a moment. "Thank you." Blaine whispered with an exhale of breath. Noah stared at him for a moment, taking in the more relaxed stance and the small half smile and the sad look that seemed to almost be forever painted in his eyes ever since the bashing. His heart tugged in his chest, pounding against his rib cage and Noah... well Noah wanted that look to go away so much. He leaned closer, his hands planted on either side of Blaine's legs, shuffling himself closer and closer, tilting his head to the side and letting his lips slide back over Blaine's own and-
"You done?" They sprung away from each other and Noah couldn't help throwing the closest hard thing that he could at the door. And that just happened to be... a pair of pink and blue converse.
Blaine blushed but didn't say a word besides a small wince as they banged against the wood. "Fine! Find me when you're done asshole."
Noah turned back to the warm body pressed against his own and, luckily, instead of sadness Noah saw amusement. "She hasn't changed at all, has she?"
"You've seen her all summer." Not that Noah wanted to talk but he'd settle for it since Blaine wasn't pushing him away.
"Not like this." Blaine smiled gently at him, and, even if it looked forced, Noah was happy that he still knew how to smile. He knew that if he was in the situation Blaine had been in he never would have been able to smile again.
Noah kissed him once more, trying to push him back into a laying position, but Blaine resisted, his hand planted on Noah's chest. "Grey wants me to switch schools." He whispered against Noah's lips as the taller of the two pulled away.
"Sounds like a good choice to me." Noah shrugged lightly, pulling away so he could look Blaine in the eye. And they were back to sadness again and Noah really didn't like sadness. "But something's wrong with that...?" He pulled away a bit more, making sure to keep his hand on Blaine's leg and the other on his cheek.
"I... I feel like a coward." Blaine's eyes shot away from Noah's, looking down at his boringly blue shirt instead.
"Because you don't want to get the crap beat out of you anymore? How the hell does that make you a coward?"
"It means they won, right?" Blaine's eyes rose back up to Noah's confused ones before he shook his head and bit at his lips."B-But anyway it's so far away from Marion and it's a lot of money and I'd have to board and..." His eyes shut tightly and Noah felt his heart constrict at the lone tear that pulled itself from Blaine's eye. "God dad already sent in the first payment. I already have the uniform. A-and I guess Wes goes there but shit, Noh. How the hell am I supposed to tell Lil and Dani?"
"I guess you just tell them."
"They're not going to like it."
"If they want you to be safe they'll let it go easily enough."
"You obviously don't know Lily."
"Listen." Noah tugged lightly on his hair, prompting a small smile to grace Blaine's so grave face. "Lily loves you. And she wants you safe."
"But she... we haven't ever gone to a different school-"
"Co-dependence never got anyone anywhere." Noah leaned closer.
"Like you aren't horribly co-dependent." Blaine was teasing, leaning closer himself, his hand tightening its hold on Noah's shirt.
"I have no idea what you're talking about." A mere breath apart.
"You..."
"What?"
"Don't know how not to be with someone."
But Noah was too busy putting his lips on top of Blaine's and recounting that attack of butterflies that fluttered in his stomach to pay the words any mind. Or to noticeably pay them any mind.
"Hey!" Wes turned in his seat, waving over to his fellow Daltoners as they made their way into the lunch room.
David trotted over, flopping into the seat across from him, Nick and Jeff following suit not soon afterward. "Rumor has it your little buddy is back." David threw out into the conversation teasingly, watching as Wes's face flushed.
"My little buddy?" The boy quickly recovered though, snorting at David and raising an eyebrow.
David smiled back at him before shoving nearly half of his burger into his mouth at once. Wes was surprised he didn't gag on it. For all the manners David was he sure as hell threw caution to the wind when it was just him and the other guys from Dalton. "Anyway." Nick brought the conversation back to the topic they had previously been discussing, his disgusted expression more than enough of an indication for Wes to know exactly why he was letting Jeff eat off his plate. "Didn't you say he's going to Dalton now?"
"Starting a few days after us, yeah." Wes nodded in conformation, carefully placing a fork full of spaghetti into his mouth and nodding at Lily and Danielle as they settled down near them, a bigger girl, Penny, following not soon after them. "So I was thinking we sort of do a welcome number. You know, just us. Not the rest of the guys. When he gets back."
"What're you talking about?" Lily slid into the seat beside David, nudging him lightly to get him to move over.
"Oh." Jeff swallowed his bite before taking another. "Just Wes's buddy – Blake or something – transferring to Dalton for the new ye-ar... What did I say?" Lily had shot up from the table, running as fast as she could out of the cafeteria and towards the cabins, Danielle's eyes wide as she shook her head at them, stealing a fry from Nick's tray and running after her red headed friend.
A: N – Yeah it's short. And... kind of pointless. Sometime tomorrow/today/this week I'll add another chapter. :D
Next Chapter: The Daltoners set up a welcome back number in the cafeteria, and Danielle comforts Lily. But when Blaine shows up at dinner are his worries about how Lily would take the transfer right or wrong? And with the re-arrival of Greyson, Blaine's going to be forced to face what happened with Paul and what is happening with Noah.
