Chapter Three: Let The Games Begin
The following day after Finn had found out of the couple's secret they were all sitting in the cafeteria. All New Directions were laughing at some dumb remark Puck had said. It was a nice easy going day for everyone. They were enjoying their company and occasionally turned their attention to the couple and coo at them. They complemented them and said how cute they were together.
Blaine was holding Kurt's hand while the other was on his stomach protectively under the table. It was good that no one saw because they would either think he was sick or something was definitely wrong. Except for Finn that is, who gave them a smirk from time to time. However, the enjoyable chit-chat was cut short by some of the jocks. Azimio poured a freezing cold blue slushy on Kurt's head. It dripped down from his once perfectly good hair to his perfectly chosen clothes. Azimio and Dave's followers were all laughing but Kurt didn't flinch. He didn't move. He was used to it.
If it wasn't Dave Karofsky it was Azimio. Puck, Sam, and Finn stood up ready to launch themselves at the flock of boys. They all scattered and ran away bickering. They sounded like treacherous hyenas laughing.
"Are you okay?" Blaine asked.
"Yeah," Kurt gave him a small forced smile.
"Those guys are so damn annoying," Mercedes huffed, obviously pissed.
Who wouldn't be if your friend was just slushied.
"I'm used to it by now," Kurt replied with a sigh.
"No one can get used to such cruelty," Rachel muttered crossing her arms.
"I second that," Quinn agreed.
Blaine sniffled a little getting his friend's attention. Everyone turned to look at the now crying boy. He quickly wiped away a few of his falling tears. He cursed the hormones for making him so sensitive.
"Baby, are you okay? Did you get splashed?" Kurt asked obvious concern tinted in his voice.
"I'm fine…just…just sick and tired of watching you get hurt," Blaine mumbled.
"Blaine's right you have to tell someone," Puck said f'ed up.
"I'm fine though. It's not a big a deal," Kurt repeated.
Mercedes got up and gave Blaine a tight hug. Finn relaxed a bit and sat back down. He handed Kurt his back up clothes. Kurt smiled sadly. He knew this would happen. It always does and when it did he had back clothes somewhere. Better prepared he always says. What he hated the most was seeing Blaine hurt for him, especially now. He got up and pushed Mercedes gently to the side. Kurt knelt down beside Blaine and held his hand open. He placed a necklace on his lover's palm and smiled. It had a Chinese character on the front and on the back it saidcourage.
Blaine looked into those blue eyes he loves so much and smiled back. He couldn't let it get to him. It was bad for him and the baby. He knew better but he just couldn't help it. He loved Kurt so much it hurt.
"It's okay baby, I'm just a little blue," Kurt joked.
"'M sorry," Blaine apologized.
"It's okay, wait here I'm going to go change," Kurt whispered in his ear.
"Ok," Blaine kissed him and giggled a bit.
"What?" Kurt asked with his brow quirked.
"Blueberry," Blaine grinned.
Everyone laughed again as the tension in the air disappeared. Kurt playfully and softly hit Blaine on his chest minding his 'condition'. He got up and headed towards the bathroom chuckling. He was glad that that little situation was managed quickly. He didn't want any stress on Blaine. He's too delicate right now. All he wants is to protect him and their baby that's growing inside of Blaine.
Azimio glared at the thin tall boy from afar. He turned back with a mischievous smile plastered on his face. Dave had the same exact expression on his.
"Since we can't get to him directly anymore let's approach him a different way. Kurt Hummel will suffer that's for sure. Let's see how he handles it when his loved one is our new target," Azimio whispered to the others.
"His lover boy Anderson will pay the price," Dave snickered.
They all laughed and shook their heads in agreement.
"And let the games begin," Azimio sneered in excitement.
As Kurt returned to the table refreshed he looked around. His friends all looked worried but knew the worst of it was over for today. He wasn't worried though because he had everyone there to support him. It had happened before so what will change now right? What if his worst nightmare might come true? He shuddered at the thought. He shook his head and put all negativity aside. He was surrounded with people that cared for him and Blaine. They got their back, that's for sure.
