AN: Holy shit guys just… there are no words… I think this is my new favorite episode, just because it reminds me so much of one of my friends who I love to death 3
Please don't harm yourselves in anyway-it will not be better for anyone and you'll miss what could be the greatest parts of your life. You're NEVER alone, and suicide should NEVER be an option.
I hate the writers because of that cliffy though.
On a lighter note, the SBL trailer that came out last weekend-OMG, I was puking rainbows in happiness. That looks like it's going to be SO GOOD. That's what I'm looking forwards to in the future, seeing that 3
Chapter 13: On My Way
Blaine wasn't surprised by Kurt's annoyed and tired expression as he sat on the windowsill while they waited for Quinn. After all, he was pretty sure Kurt hadn't slept in three days.
Well, if you didn't count that half hour in the hospital that is.
Kurt hadn't been texting him back, and they really needed to get a move on if they wanted to make it to the wedding before Rachel to help her with pre-wedding jitters and all the things good friends/brides maids/gays did when someone was getting married.
So Blaine had driven to the hospital, where he knew Kurt was still visiting Dave. Because Kurt was a fantastically selfless person who would help his past tormentor, and while Blaine felt bad, he still didn't forgive what Karofsky did to the man he loved, so Blaine had yet to see Dave. That and the whole suicide attempt scared Blaine and he knew he'd be entirely useless as far as comfort went.
When Blaine had entered Dave's room, Kurt had been curled up in a chair next to his bed, fast asleep. He looked so adorable, yet at the same time absolutely breathtaking. Blaine really had no idea how he did it.
"He looked so tired I couldn't find it in me to wake him up" Dave said, making Blaine jump at the unexpected voice. He had known the other teen was there, obviously, it just didn't really register while he was staring at his sleeping beloved.
Blaine smiled at the man in the bed, though it felt a little awkward. How were you supposed to act around someone who just tried to take their own life? Did you hug them and tell them how amazing life was or pretend nothing happened so they don't have to think about it? Is there some sort of middle ground?
Blaine had sometimes thought about suicide in the past, but he'd never taken any steps towards it. He still knew that dark place where it seemed happiness was unattainable and everyone would be better off without you though. All he'd wanted in that situation was for someone to hold him and show him he mattered and that they cared.
But the thing was, Blaine didn't care. He didn't want Karofsky to die and he certainly didn't hate him, he just didn't know him at all except for what Kurt told him, and some of those things weren't the best.
So he settled on saying "It's okay, I'm sure they'll understand if we're a little late"
Dave's stoic expression turned to a frown. "Late for what?" he wondered and Blaine remembered that not everyone was in Rachel's inner circle, even if it seemed that she told everyone about her plans.
"Rachel Berry and Finn Hudson are getting married today"
Dave raised an eyebrow skeptically and Blaine had to grin when the expression reminded him of Kurt.
"Yeah, I know" Blaine said, rolling his eyes slightly. "But no matter what we say they won't back down, so we're just going along with it. After all, they do seem genuinely in love, despite the earliness of their engagement."
There was silence after that, neither of them knowing what to say now that the current topic of conversation had been exhausted beyond Dave's care.
Blaine turned to his boyfriend, running a hand lightly through his hair. It was already messed up anyway.
Kurt gave a small, content sigh and nuzzled into Blaine's hand. The younger boy's heart swelled at the action and his face broke into a bright smile.
"It's nice that after all the shit Kurt got put thought he found you" Dave said absently, drawing Blaine's attention again, though he kept his hand on his boyfriend's soft face.
"It's nice that I found him too" Blaine said honestly. He didn't know why he said the next part-maybe it was because Dave would understand, or maybe it was because Kurt's presence always tore his walls down-but either way he explained "Sometimes I thought I couldn't be happy, until Kurt showed me otherwise."
"Did you ever…" Dave trailed off, but Blaine knew what he was asking.
"No. I thought about it more times then I'd like to admit but… no"
Dave nodded, seeming to accept the answer. "I'm glad Kurt and I are friends now, he's a really great guy. You're lucky"
Blaine studied him for a minute. Sure, now Dave looked worn and his eyes were dull, but there was a faint flicker of something in him… something bright and sweet and kind. Behind all the bitterness and hurt there was someone worthy of Kurt's illusive friendship, and that was enough to Blaine to say truthfully "Someday you'll meet a guy who's perfect for you. Someone you can understand without words who will hold you and be held by you and save you. Someone who loves you unconditionally who you love back with all your heart."
Blaine blinked in surprise when he saw tears in Dave's eyes. "Thanks"
Somehow that one word made Blaine smile. Okay, Dave definitely wasn't so bad. He could see why Kurt was so messed up over him.
"What's happening?" Kurt mumbled sleepily, silting up in his chair and stretching.
Blaine checked his watch. "Well, Rachel's going to kill us if we keep her waiting any longer, but other than that…"
Kurt sprang out of his chair. "Did it start already? Did we miss the ceremony? Why the hell did no one wake me up?"
Blaine laughed. "No. Rachel's not even in her dress yet, probably. We're just supposed to get there obnoxiously early as brides maids"
"Brides gays" Kurt corrected absently, but his attention was on Dave. "Call me if you ever want to talk, okay? About anything" he said, his voice soft.
Dave nodded, the biggest smile Blaine had ever seen on his lips. "I will"
So now they were here, waiting for the bomb to drop and for Quinn to arrive at Rachel's wedding.
Blaine squeezed Kurt's hand. Something horrible was about to happen, he could feel it.
Judging by Kurt's worried frown, he could feel it to.
Blaine really hoped everyone was okay. Kurt looked like he was about to fall over as it was without another one of his friends getting hurt.
