A/N: Hey everybody! I just wanted to say that the feedback that I got for the last chapter was awesome! I am so glad that people actually want to read more. This is my attempt at Blaine; I hope I was able to do him justice. Thank you to EragonArya (if you haven't already done so, go read her stories, they're great!) for giving me some Blaine advice and pushing me to post this tonight. Please read and (hopefully) enjoy!
The young man caressed his lover's face, relishing the feel of the soft skin under his calloused fingers. He vaguely registered the acoustic guitar sitting in the corner of the room and remembered his plan to serenade the younger man. This is so much better, he thought.
The elder pulled the slightly taller male so that their bodies were pressed against each other and he shivered as he felt the younger's breath ghost over his ear. The two collapsed onto the couch still completely wrapped up in each other.
If this is what being in love feels like, I am perfectly fine living with it, the younger thought wistfully as he watched his lover fall apart in his arms.
Both men leaned forward in that moment to brush their lips across each other's before sealing them for good. This would be the beginning of a lifetime of happiness for the two young lovers and they would finally be able to move forward from the past. As they fell into passion-filled oblivion, they knew that their love would last forever.
Blaine Anderson carefully set down the Kurt Hummel novel that he just finished reading, furiously wiping the tears from his cheeks and out of his eyes. He didn't know why these novels always did this to him, but he always was bawling at the end of the stories. After wiping his face, he looked into the mirror to make sure that all remnants of tears were gone because he didn't want his roommate to ask questions.
Blaine was a generally happy-go-lucky person who was always there as a shoulder to cry on for his friends. He couldn't count the number of times that his roommate had came home drunk and crying because one in his long line of girlfriends had broken up with him. Blaine was always there for his friend, even though the very next day he would be back to normal and dating some completely different girl.
That's what Blaine couldn't understand; how some people could fall in and out of love so easily. Blaine had never had a girlfriend, and he had determined when he was 14 that he was gay when he realized that he was spending less time staring at the girls at school and more time staring at the boys standing next to them. He had had his first kiss with a guy when he was 17 but it had been at some party and he hadn't even known the guy so it didn't really count.
Sometimes Blaine felt lonely without a boyfriend, or even another guy friend who was actually gay. Wes, his roommate, was great and all and so were his other friends but they just didn't understand, the way someone in his same situation would. That was why he probably felt so attached to Kurt's books.
One of Blaine's friends had suggested the books to him a few years back when the first one came out, because he had received one from some contest he had won. Since he knew he didn't like romance novels, he gave it to Blaine; the only one out of his friends that he thought would enjoy it. After that, Blaine became obsessed and waited excitedly for the second book to come out.
Even with the straight characters, Blaine felt a certain connection to the author's writing style, as if he wrote from experience, and he always was incredibly moved by Kurt's writing. Despite knowing nothing except the age of the author, Blaine looked up to the author and trusted him without even knowing him that if they were ever to meet, he would completely understand Blaine's issues.
Over the years, Blaine had continuously tried to find out more information about Kurt Hummel but there was simply no information at all about the young author on the Internet, other than what was written on the back of his books, there weren't even any pictures. Blaine HAD found a site that was completely devoted to people who wanted to try their hand at painting or drawing what they thought Kurt Hummel looked like, though. Blaine found this amusing to check out, even though none of the pictures matched his mental image of Kurt.
The third book caught Blaine by surprise, as the mysterious Kurt Hummel tended to, by adding the element of the romance being between two men. Blaine was impressed with the boldness of the author in his exploration and telling of the intense and passionate romance that unfolded between the two young men. After reading only a small portion of the book, Blaine's admiration for Kurt had greatly increased because the man was able to tell the story between the two men without worrying about the public's opinion of his controversial change.
That was something Blaine feared that he would never have the courage to do. For as helpful as Blaine was to his friends in solving their relationship issues, he hadn't even told the world that he was gay. His friends knew, obviously, but everyone else had no idea.
This fact wouldn't really matter, usually, because the whole world doesn't normally care about individual people's love lives. Blaine, though, was different because Blaine was an international pop star who had single-handedly transformed the music world with his constant changing of style and multitude of types of songs. None of Blaine's fans knew that he was gay and Blaine was worried about what his fans would do if they found out.
Reading Kurt's books, Blaine was feeling inspired to tell the truth, but he didn't want to let all his fans down, especially all of the girls who always brought signs saying "Will you marry me?" to his concerts.
See, Blaine's start in the music industry hadn't been the easiest, and he truly believed that it was solely the fans that had gotten him to where he currently was. He knew he wouldn't be able to live with himself if he let them down. He wished that they lived in a perfect world where his sexuality would not matter, but he was not naive and knew that some people reacted very strongly to this kind of information and he could just not stand to disappoint his fans like that. He hoped that someday, in the near future, he would be able to be himself without ever having to worry about people looking down on him for it. Right now all he wanted was to make music that his fans could listen to without any other factors affecting their enjoyment.
Blaine stared around the dirty apartment, thinking that he should probably clean up a bit before Wes got home. Since Blaine was a singer, he had pretty flexible hours and spent a lot of time in the apartment writing songs. Wes, on the other hand, was the CEO of Montgomery Enterprises, a company that made high-tech speakers and other audio equipment for recording studios all over the United States and a lot of countries across the world.
In the early days of Blaine's career, he had relied heavily on Wes to help him out when the going was tough. At first, Blaine attempted to become a Broadway star, or get some gigs in musical theatre in New York after he graduated from Dalton, but that hadn't worked out so well. He was barely making any money as a street performer in Central Park so Wes offered to fly him to Los Angeles and help him out until he could find good work.
When he arrived in LA, Blaine continued performing on the streets, only making about $25 a day (on a good day), and he knew he needed to find something better. Wes suggested trying to book a few singing gigs in some restaurants on a weekly basis. After taking his advice, Blaine ended up with four nights a week of gigs in different restaurants on Hollywood Blvd. They paid him well and all the tourists and locals liked him and were kind to him. Blaine decided he loved performing in restaurants, but he still wanted to do more with his life.
One day his wish was granted when one of the main talent scouts for Warbler Records came into one of the restaurants when Blaine was playing, on a date with his wife. The man, Nick, liked Blaine's singing and his hand-written lyrics so much that he left Blaine his office number and told him to give him a call on the following Monday.
Blaine was ecstatic and when Monday rolled around he quickly called Warbler Records. He didn't really care if he seemed overeager; he just wanted to see if this would lead to anything. Due to a cancellation, Blaine was invited in to audition that very afternoon. The manager of the recording studio, David Thompson, liked Blaine's singing so much that he gave him a contract and an opportunity to record his first song, all before the week ended.
Blaine felt that his life was turning back around, but he forgot to mention to the man that he was gay. This wouldn't have affected anything in the beginning, but after three years of Blaine charming his fans with his dazzling smile and excitable attitude, almost every one of his female fans were convinced that they were going to marry this man. Blaine realized that now, it was too late for his announcement not to matter, because he had waited too long and now his fans had expectations for him that could not be met if he admitted to liking guys. Blaine greatly regretted not saying anything at the beginning of his career, but he also knew there wasn't any way for him to go back and change it so now he just had to figure out a way to break the news to them.
Blaine hummed to himself as he picked up around the apartment, brooding over the book he had just finished and trying to think up ideas for his next song. After three years in the music industry, Blaine's passion for his craft was no less (possibly even more) than when he started. He loved experimenting, and his fans enjoyed listening to his constant changing from fast to slow, upbeat and happy to thoughtful and sad.
As his thoughts were taken over by the events that had taken place in the book, and by his own interpretations of what kind of a person Kurt Hummel might be, he suddenly came up with an idea for his new song. Sitting down to write, Blaine decided that if he were to ever be lucky enough to meet the elusive author, he would be sure to sing him this song to let him know that someone understands what he is going through.
A/N: Soooo, what did you think? Please let me know if there are any issues you have with the way I wrote Blaine. I would like to see if there is anything I need to change, that I didn't purposefully ignore when I was writing Blaine. Once again I'm sorry if this was boring, I have to establish Blaine's circumstances before I continue with the story as well. If anyone is confused, the excerpt in this chapter is supposed to be from the third book and the last one was from the fourth book, so that's why they both include gay characters. I love reviews, so please leave a little comment for me. Your feedback helped me post this chapter a lot faster than I thought I would be able to. I have math and chemistry tests tomorrow and law on Monday so I'm gonna be busy for a bit, so don't expect another chapter too soon. (Of course, I may get a random free night in the near future so you never know, I might be able to update sooner than I think :P) So please review, favourite, alert, whatever you want. I love to know that people are actually reading and liking my stuff. Thanks :) Next chapter will feature Kurt again (until they meet, I'm gonna jump back and forth between Kurt and Blaine each chapter)
