"Hey babe I-" Brody shook his head. Dammit, that sounded stupid! That is not the way to ask Rachel Berry out! He had to be smooth, but not cocky. Sweet, but not artificial.

"Cool it, Weston. You've got this." Brody smiled at himself in the mirror, flashing that (soon to be) award-winning grin. His phone buzzed in his pocket, and he didn't recognize the number initially.

FR – UNKNOWN

COURAGE.

-BLAINE A.

"Who the hell is Blaine?!" Brody asked out loud, not hearing the clicking steps from behind him.

"Blaine? Blaine is Kurt's boyfriend from back home!" Rachel smiled broadly at Brody. "Ready for rehearsal?"

Brody jumped at her voice. "H-How long have you been standing there?"

Rachel furrowed her brow in confusion. "Just long enough to hear you talking about Blaine… why?"

Brody shrugged nonchalantly. "Oh no reason…" Deciding to take this Blaine character's advice, he draped an arm across Rachel's shoulder as they started walking. "So Rach, I was wondering…"


A/N: I JUST LOVE BRODY SO MUCH OKAY? I WANTED HIM TO HAVE A TEXT! I actually really badly wanted Blaine to be hiding in a bathroom stall or something, but I figured that might be more of a Darren thing and less of a Blaine thing. ANYWHO, hope you enjoyed!
