Authors notes:
I know that it is moving slowly but this chapter has lots of Anderberry and not a lot of Klaine at all! So I hope you like it and review please! :)
Blaine's head lifts up and his facial expression stiffened in a way that suggested he didn't know how to react. He takes a moment to think about what he will do next; smile? Laugh? Hug Rachel? Or simply run and hide in his room? He is taken back by the fact that Rachel instantly caught on the he was in love with Kurt, but how? Why did she think that in the first place? Was I acting differently since I transferred to McKinley? Did I accidentally make little hints? I haven't said more than 'hi' and 'yeah McKinley's great' to him in the 4 weeks I've been there; or maybe it was before that? What has given me away so easily?
Blaine wipes the confused look off his face and decides that the best thing to do is speak. "Urm... W-What?" There's a slight a pause when Blaine forgets how to move his mouth and has to regain control of his tongue to speak. "No, no no I think you've made a mistake there Rachel. I'm not 'I Love' with Kurt, and he definitely doesn't like me so if we can just..."
"Blaine. I'm your sister. I know every single thought that runs through your head! Don't pretend that you don't sit in your room and cry whilst singing a medley of every love song in the world! I know you! And I bet that you are only saying that because you think I'll run off and tell Kurt, which I wont by the way, and..."
"Oh come on Rachel! You couldn't keep your mouth shut if it was the difference of you getting into NYADA! And don't act like you are the 'smart one', because I know you too. I know that you are planning to go sneak out and see Finn again like you did last night, I know that you're secretly in love with that collection of action movies I have,that you wont admit you have watched more than me!" Rachel had painted an embarrassed yet unimpressed look that isn't convincing at all on her face as Blaine continues.
"and I know that you love me more than anything in the whole world and you could never live without me because I'm so so nice and you are so so desperate to see your little brothers face everyday of your life and you want me to" Blaine started to add a sarcastic tone to his voice but is rudely interrupted by Rachel.
"Okay okay Anderson! That's enough cheek from you little one!"
"Hey no fair! I am only a year younger! And I'm taller than you for a start!" By now the conversation has moved into Rachel's room and Rachel is picking out the outfit she should wear today.
"You may be taller, but you're still have a little growing up to do. I mean I was already mature when I was a Freshman, physically, mentally, and vocally. I've always been ahead of nature; although I still had a little brattyness I needed to control, but you little brother have to grow and break the cocoon that you are closeted in and break through like a pretty little butterfly! And..." By this time Blaine had zoned out and was thinking about Kurt. About how he would be here soon. How if Rachel was right, he liked him! How he knew he existed! How everything could be perfect! But then other things like how sometimes he acts ignorant around him. How he tries to avoid conversation with him, how he never really makes an effort to say 'hello'. But maybe the little things that anyone would do like saying 'hi' is what gave me away. But then he remembers to zone back into the conversation.
"Then you'll be able to hit higher notes and lower ones too and we can sing duets and I we can be known as the 'Strong Siblings!' and we can break into the biz and become Broadway stars! And; Blaine were you listening?"
"Urm.. Yeah you were talking about cocoons and... stuff" Rachel raised her eyebrow and Blaine did the same mimicking her and copying her every move.
Rachel started to brush fer hair ans so did Blaine which his invisible brush. Then she started doing her make up and so did Blaine, until Rachel slapped him ever so slightly and Blaine just gave her a huge hug.
Rachel embraced him and squeezed his so tight it was impossible to breathe until she was aware of what she was doing. Blaine returned the favour causing then both to laugh. But they never broke the hug. The two siblings just stood there, enjoying the moment. They were so comfortable and didn't want to let go but Blaine knew that he had to. And Rachel let go too.
"And what was that for little brother?" Rachel added in a less heart-felt but more witty way.
"Wow. For a second I thought that there was a minute that you didn't annoyed me. But there it is. And I did it because I love you! You make me laugh how the slightest thing can annoy you and it makes you so oddly cute!"
"I love you too little one! And I must say, I have missed those hugs. You've been a little distant lately; but I'm glad my annoying little idiot of a brother is back! Now get out I need to get dressed before they arrive!" Rachel gave Blaine a smile that he missed and then he left the room. But just at that second the doorbell rung.
"They're here early! Blaine get the door please? And act subtle! It's Kurt; looks like Mercedes isn't coming cos they always come together. Remember to smile little one!"
Blaine's mind wonders what to do, does he go and do his hair? Or should he just act causal? He decides to answer the door because Kurt had rung it twice and it probably getting impatient. But when he opens the door, something happens. Something overcomes him. Kurt is wearing the same jeans as he was in the picture he stole from Rachel! He recognises that Kurt is waiting to be invited in and Blaine's mind begins to work.
"Urm, come in Kurt. Rachel is just getting ready upstairs. If you wanna just, wait somewhere..." Damn it Anderson! He thinks to himself. Why are you such a douche bag around Kurt! Act subtle. You can do this.
"So how are things Blaine? I have hardly had the chance to talk to you since you transferred; been busy with glee club and that damn election that has been going on."
"No no its okay I get it. McKinley's... different to Dalton. It's a lot more, opinionated and open about stuff and"
"You having a hart time being gay at Mckinley? Yeah I've been there. You know you can always just come say hi and we can talk about it if you want." Blaine has an explosion in his body but tries not to let it show.
"Urm, thanks that would be nice, although I feel like in intruding in your routine and"
"No no it would be nice to talk to someone who gets it. I had no one when I was going through it, so it would be really great to help you." At that Blaine's heart left his body, sinked into heaven and then found him again. And again he couldn't remember how to speak. He was sort of pretending to think, but it was an unsuccessful attempt. But when Blaine regained the ability to talk, he just speaks ever so softly.
"Thank you." and Kurt and Blaine exchange a look that Blaine thought was love. Could Rachel be right? Kurt was thrown by this glare, but didn't want to show it. Could Blaine like me back? But he didn't have time to think when Rachel stormed down the stares and announced...
"I'm here! I bet you've missed me!"
"I sure have!" said Kurt and wrapped his arms around Rachel. Rachel winked at Blaine and mouthed 'Sorry I took so long' and Blaine just rolled his eyes and climbed the stares to his room. When Rachel noticed Kurt staring at Blaine's ass; and she whispered "Don't make it so obvious that you're in love with my brother." and Kurt just gave her a look that was exactly the same as Blaine's only a while ago. It stiffened and a confusion started to build on his face. Then Kurt lost for word just said "Urm... What?"
