Blaine texts Kurt during the morning. Small messages with encouraging words, just to get Kurt through the day. Blaine is very happy that Kurt has decided to eat lunch with all of his friends in Glee Club, but he can't help to think that Kurt is only doing this for him. That Kurt honestly wish to eat somewhere else, a more quiet place. The thought of Kurt sacrificing himself for Blaine is not something Blaine like. Because Blaine wants Kurt to be happy, and to smile his pretty smile and for him to feel comfortable around other people. And if Kurt needs more time to get there, Blaine will give him all the time in the world. But he has to trust Kurt to tell him the truth. So he walks towards Kurt's locker to meet him before they go together to the cafeteria.
Kurt is stunning. He leans against the cool metal of his locker and fiddles with his phone. Blaine can't stop staring at him, he can't believe Kurt is his boyfriend. The butterflies in his stomach seem to have a party down there, and his heart is beating faster just by looking at Kurt.
«Hi» Blaine says when he comes close enough for Kurt to hear.
«Oh, hi»
«How was your day so far?»
«Ok, actually.» Kurt smiles «Spent my day mostly thinking of you.» Blaine chuckles. «And Rachel seem to think that she persuaded me to eat lunch with you guys, and she definitely doesn't know what's happened the last couple of days.»
«Oh, then she will be in for a surprise. But, Kurt, you are sure about this? I don't want to pressure you into something you don't want to do. Because earlier this morning you were not so sure…»
«Yes, I think so. This is something I have to do, meet your friends. Because you will spend time with them also, not just with me. And they are important to you and so is Glee. But if I can't handle the situation, I still got you there right?»
«Always, Kurt. And if you need to get out of there, just go. I come with you if you want to. The Glee club is used to people storming out of the choir room or of the stage. Usually it is Rachel or sometimes me, when I'm having a bad time. They are very accepting, but also very dramatic.»
«This little club of yours seems more and more interesting.» Kurt laughs. «But I promise, if things get too much, I will let you know.»
«Good, and you can always join in, to see the interesting life of the Glee kids from inside.»
«Don't push it, Anderson. I'll think this lunch is more than enough for now. And speaking of lunch…We should probably get going…»
They walk down the hall to the cafeteria. Blaine wish that he could hold Kurt's hand, like any other couple, but he won't risk that. They are in high school, they are gay and in Ohio. Not everyone is as accepting as his friends in Glee Club.
They enter the crowded cafeteria. The air is bussing with all the students in there, talking and laughing, and suddenly it hits Blaine why Kurt don't like this. To be alone in this chaos would be terrifying, intense and very lonely. Blaine doesn't know why he suddenly feel this way, and he looks at Kurt. Maybe he is sensing some of Kurt's feelings. Or maybe he is just being nervous. What if his friends isn't as accepting as he thought. He never actually brought a boyfriend for them to meet. Kurt seems to be ok, and he walks over to where the food is. Blaine follows him and they both get some salad and turn to see if the Glee Club has arrived yet.
Blaine is nervous. He knows it now. He really want them to like and accept Kurt, to see the wonderful guy he is. And Blaine is nervous for Kurt. What if he doesn't handle this and what if thing's get worse and he starts to hide again, and what if…
«I think your friends are over there. Shouldn't we join them?» Kurt interrupts his thought and looks at him.
«Yes…yes we should. Are you ok?»
«I am, but you are acting weird.»
«I just really want them to like you as much as I do. Maybe not as much, because I will not share you with anyone, but…And I want you to be ok.»
«I know, just lets get this over with…» Kurt takes a deep breath and wait for Blaine to lead the way across the cafeteria.
