A/N: Sorry for the long wait, but I think you'll be satisfied with the result. Enjoy and please review if you have time. Thanks :)
Carol called me at work, even though I knew she didn't have a break for a while yet.
"I just got a call from the school to go pick up one of the kids, but I can't get out of work until after 4. Would you be able to get them?" She asked me. I had a lot of work to do too, but at least no one would die if I left.
"I guess so… Which one is it this time?" I asked.
"I don't actually know. The principal left a message at the hospital just saying I had to pick up my son, since he was in trouble. I'm guessing Finn, since they usually call you, but I don't know for sure." She said. I sighed explained to the other guys working that there was a problem at the school and I needed to go pick up one of the boys, but hopefully I would be back soon. Once I arrived at the school, I went into the main office to speak to the principal. I was surprised to see someone short with curly hair sitting in front of his desk. I knocked on the door to his office and walked in.
"Ah, Mr. Hummel. Thank you for coming on such short notice. I was expecting your wife today." Principal Figgins said.
"Yeah, she can't get out of work at the hospital. I can't stay that long either. Care to tell me what is so important that I had to leave work and come down here in the middle of the day?" I asked him.
"Mr. Anderson here is suspended from an entire week. It is unacceptable to bring pornography into a high school and hand it out to the other students." He said calmly, but I stopped listening after the word 'pornography'.
"What the hell is wrong with you, Blaine?" I shouted at him. "Who in their right mind brings porn to school?"
"It wasn't like that. I just had to get back at Rachel. She sent the entire school a picture of my junk, just because she wasn't invited to a video game night. I only thought it was fair to make photocopies of a picture of Rachel and hand them out to the school." He said, as though it was the most obvious solution ever. Figgins handed me a hot pick flyer that had a Xeroxed picture of a topless Rachel, although someone (probably Figgins) had drawn a black sensor bar with a sharpie marker.
"Where did you even get this picture? I'd almost expect you to have a picture like this of Kurt, by why Rachel?" I asked him. Hopefully Figgins didn't notice the Kurt comment.
"I found it in Finn's room. She had given it to him for Valentines Day." He explained to me.
"What were you doing snooping in Finn's room?" I asked again.
"Finn always borrows my stuff and never returns anything, so while he was out, I decided to go in his room and reclaim everything that was mine. I just happened to stumble upon that picture and realized it would be fair payback for Rachel sending everyone that picture of me." He rationalized. I guess he had a point, but it was still a bad thing to do.
"Well, since this was just retaliation for Rachel doing the same thing to him, why isn't Rachel being suspended too?" I asked Figgins. After a few minutes, he finally agreed that if a couple of kids can confirm that Rachel was the one who started circulating the Blaine picture, she would be suspended too. Blaine was allowed to go round up a couple of kids (excluding Kurt and Finn since they were a conflict of interest). Tina, Mike, Artie and Lauren all confirmed that Rachel had sent them the picture of Blaine, so the Berry's were called while Rachel was called down to the office. She and Blaine didn't exchange a word; they only glared at one another. After signing a few papers, I was allowed to take Blaine home, where he had to stay for a week. On our way out to my truck, we passed the Berry's walking into the school. They said hello, but didn't yell at Blaine, which means they didn't know why they were called to the school yet. As soon as we were out of their earshot, I whispered to Blaine.
"Get in the car and let's get the hell out of here before they find out what you did."
We quickly got in my truck and sped off. I drove straight to the garage. He looked a little confused, but knew not to complain. The last time he was suspended he was put to work in the shop, so this shouldn't come as a surprise.
"Since you're in trouble, not on vacation, you'll get up each morning and go to work. You'll either be here with me in the garage, or you will go with Carol and work as a hospital volunteer. You're choice. But you aren't sitting at home watching video games either way." I told him.
"I understand. If you don't mind, I'd rather work here. Hospitals make me kind of squeamish. What should I do first?" He asked.
"Um, I guess you can tidy up the shop to begin with. There's a broom and a dustpan in the corner." I said. He got right to work, although I could clearly hear him humming the Cinderella song. I recognized from Kurt having sung it every time he had to clean when he was little. Just as he was finishing up, about a half hour later, I heard the bell by the front door ring, meaning someone just came into the shop. I figured Blaine could handle it, but as soon as I heard shrieking, I rolled out from under the car I was working. I looked to the office to see Rachel and her dads standing my shop, and Rachel was yelling at Blaine. In his defense, he was taking it like a man. Until she pulled his hair, that is.
Once Rachel started pulling Blaine's hair, he lost all sense of decorum. I knew from the last time that Santana did something to Blaine's hair, but I was still surprised at how loudly he shrieked. Hiram grabbed Rachel around the middle and I grabbed Blaine to try and pull them apart. They had finally calmed down a bit and were sitting in chairs on opposite sides of the office.
"Blaine, what would make you spread those photoshopped pictures of Rachel?" Hiram asked calmly.
"After Rachel sent everyone in the school a picture of my junk, I thought it only fair to return to the favor. But I didn't photoshop it. I found that picture." Blaine said clearly confused. I could see Rachel trying to silently get Blaine's attention, but he didn't notice her. "I found it in Finn's room. He borrowed my headphones and never returned them, so I decided to go get them myself. I was also looking to see if he had any condoms. He always borrows them, but never replaces them. I was looking to see if he bought any so I could take some back." Blaine said to Hiram. Apparently it didn't occur to him that he was speaking to Rachel's fathers. And he basically just told them that Finn had naked pictures of her and he also used a lot of condoms. Without noticing their discomfort at the conversation, he continued, once again proving he had no filter between his brain and mouth. "He borrows condoms all the time. And Kurt and I have to go buy them, which is always really embarrassing, but only because Kurt makes it that way. He turns bright red and always somehow attracts extra attention. It's like he turns into Finn and get clumsy, knocking things over. And we always have to buy other random stuff so it doesn't look like we're just buying condoms. Personally, I think it looks stranger to also buy a bunch of candy and those cheap toys they sell. It's like we're trying to lure kids into a van with no windows." Blaine said. He has trouble not talking when he's nervous.
After a whispered conversation, most of which I couldn't make out, they said they would discuss everything when they got home. They made Rachel apologize for what she did to Blaine, who reluctantly accepted the apology and, after I kicked the back of his chair, he apologized to Rachel.
Around 3 o'clock the phone in the office rang. It was Kurt, who had spent his day frantically searching for Blaine.
"I've looked everywhere in the school and I can't find him. He hasn't answered any of my calls or texts. I think something bad may have happened to him. He drove today, and the car's still here." Kurt said without taking a breath.
"Calm down Kurt. Blaine is fine. He's here with me." I said.
"Why's Blaine with you?" he asked, sounding shocked.
"He got caught for handing out naked pictures of Rachel and was suspended. I had to pick him up around noon. He didn't answer your texts or calls because I took his phone and turned it off. He's supposed to be grounded. I figured no more cell phone was a good way to start."
"If Blaine is with you, how do we get home? He drove this morning." Kurt asked. I turned to ask Blaine about it.
"Blaine! Where did you leave the keys so Kurt and Finn can get home?"
He turned red as he pulled the keys from his pocket.
"We'll be there soon." I told Kurt over the phone.
Over dinner that night, we filled Carol in on everything that had happened. Once everyone was finished, Carol and I asked to speak to Blaine alone. We discussed his punishment for getting suspended. We decided upon no cell phone, no video games and he had to work in the garage most of the days he was out of school. Carol bargained for him to have one day home. At first he was relieved to have a day off. Then he found out why she wanted him home. He had to clean the house and go grocery shopping with her on her day off. He wasn't too happy, but agreed. All I had to do now was think of enough work to keep Blaine busy for the week.
