Pale Blue Eyes
Blaine really didn't know what to expect once the rest of the guys realized that him and Kurt were without doubt, boyfriends. None of them had even seen him touch another guy that was interested in him since Jeremiah and now he was holding hands with Kurt, starting to act like the old him again. He knew that there were boys that liked him and he really hoped that they wouldn't become jealous and take it out on Kurt because he didn't deserve any of it. He smiled when he felt Kurt squeeze his hand when they reached the common room where all the Warbler's could be heard goofing off before practice actually started.
Blaine sighed and led the way into the room. Nick and Jeff came rushing at him they were both smiling. He smiled back at them and for the first time in a long time the smile felt real, not something that he had to force himself to do. He knew he had Kurt to thank for that. He didn't know why Nick and Jeff were smiling at him that way though. He turned to look at Kurt, who had a huge smile on his face. "What?"
"They knew I was going to ask you out..." Kurt whispered to him. "They were the ones that actually urged me to do it."
Blaine bit his bottom lip. "When did you three talk about it?"
"During study hall...we have it together." Kurt smiled at Blaine. He loved the pinkish flush that plastered his cheeks.
Jeff was bouncing with excitement and he looked like he wanted to say something but he was remaining quiet. Blaine couldn't help but laugh at the look on his best friends face. "Just say it Jeff..."
"Are you to together like together ‘together'?"
Blaine couldn't help but laugh again, he didn't think anyone could use together as many times as he just had and actually have it make sense. Kurt laughed too, Blaine was going to say something but Sebastian came over so he was standing behind Nick and Jeff. He was glaring at Blaine's and Kurt's intertwined hands. His green eyes snapped up so they were looking at Kurt.
"Please tell me you're joking?" Sebastian was now looking at Blaine, who his question was obviously directed at.
"What?" Blaine didn't know what he meant.
"Him...you choose him..." Sebastian's voice had risen slightly.
Kurt tightened his grip on Blaine's hand at Sebastian's words, they were filled with jealously and disgust. Kurt felt the growl slip into his voice before he even opened his mouth to respond. "You say that like he had any other options..." Kurt knew that Blaine did have other options he just didn't like to admit that he did. Kurt couldn't imagine him with anyone else.
Sebastian let out a humorless laugh. "Are you that blind princess...I can name at least seven guys in this room alone that want Blaine..."
There was that word, want... Blaine didn't like hearing that word when it was being referred to him. That's what he thought; all the guys that seemed interested in him just wanted him, like he was some prize to be won, some trophy. He didn't think that they really liked him. Blaine moved closer to Kurt. He knew Kurt didn't just want him he wanted to be with him regardless of what he got from Blaine.
Kurt could tell Blaine was upset. He sighed and pulled Blaine into a hug. The entire group of Warbler's were now listening and watching the scene that was going on. Wes and David had come over to join the circle and were soon joined by Trent and Thad. "That's just it...you don't seem to get it that Blaine doesn't seem to want anything to do with you, yet you keep trying..."
"He has a point Sebastian..." Wes said with a frown on his face and his gavel in his hand.
"Oh go make out with your gavel and stay the hell out of it Wesley..." Sebastian spat.
"Blaine has made it clear that he is not interested in you..." David shouted at Sebastian.
Thad cut Sebastian off before he could retort again. "Don't be an ass, Sebastian..." He glared at Sebastian and then turned to Kurt and Blaine. "Are you two together?" He asked wanting to know the answer to Jeff's unanswered question.
"Yes we are..." Kurt told Thad. He started rubbing Blaine's back he was so tense. Kurt watched as Jeff turned around to face Sebastian and gave him a look that could only have said ‘HA!' Kurt couldn't help but smile about that. Nick was smiling brightly at Kurt but also had a worried look in his eyes as he looked at Blaine.
Kurt thought Sebastian looked as though he was going to launch himself at him; he was shooting daggers at him with his eyes. Kurt shook his head he wasn't going to let Sebastian get to him. He glanced to his left and saw Trent watching him and Blaine. Thad squeezed Kurt's shoulder bring his attention back to him.
"Don't worry about Trent he will be fine..." Thad said he had seen Kurt watching Trent.
"Okay, I just don't want him to be mad at me or Blaine." Kurt admitted.
"He won't be mad, maybe upset for a short time but he will be fine."
Kurt nodded.
Blaine stepped back and looked up at Kurt when Wes called attention of everyone to him. Kurt smiled at him and they walked with their hands clasped together to one of the small leather sofas. Kurt was watching Sebastian the whole time. Blaine squeezed his hand and pulled him so he was sitting closer. "Just ignore him..." Kurt smiled and nodded at him. Blaine smiled back and then started listening to Wes who was currently talking about what songs they should sing to get ready for their Sectionals which was going to be against Kurt's old glee club, The New Directions and The Hipsters a group of elderly people that were getting their GED's.
"So the song choices are down too, Hey Soul Sister by Train, Wide Awake by Katy Perry, Please Don't Leave Me by Pink, Love Song by Sara Bareilles, and Mad World by Gary Jules..." Wes smiled at Blaine when he was done listing the songs.
The room broke into quiet chatter discussing the songs. Blaine leaned against Kurt's side and Kurt wrapped his arm around Blaine's back so his hand rested on his side. "Which songs do you like the best?" Blaine asked Kurt. He really didn't care what song was chosen he would sing it no matter what.
Kurt smiled at him, "I like them all, and you will sound great singing any one of them." He kissed Blaine's cheek and watched a slight blush come across where his lips just were. He gazed around the room, Trent was watching them, he looked sad. Sebastian was watching Blaine, Kurt didn't know how to read his expression. He let out a sigh and turned his attention back to Blaine. He had his hands in his lap and was picking at something invisible on his pants. He tightened his arm around Blaine, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing...I..." Blaine let his sentence trail off as Wes called the attention of the room.
"After further deliberation with David and Thad, and hearing all of your opinions on the songs, we will be singing... Hey Soul Sister by Train or Wide Awake by Katy Perry..." The room erupted into excited chatter again until David spoke.
"We will be practicing those two songs up until it gets close to the time for Sectionals and we will decide which of the two will be the best to perform..." David smiled at Blaine and laughed when the room erupted into chatter again.
They spent the rest of the hour discussing how the harmonies would work for each song. Kurt thought Blaine looked tired. He sighed and took Blaine's hand back in his when he sat down again beside him.
Blaine glanced up at Kurt's face his eyes were trained on Blaine's face. When Blaine had first seen Kurt he thought his eyes were a pale blue in color, which kind of freaked him out, he didn't like staring into eyes that color but then he realized that Kurt's eyes weren't just blue, they had green and gray in them too, that swirled together to make an amazing color that Blaine wasn't quite sure of the name for. But right now they were that pale blue in color again and Blaine couldn't look at them, he turned his gaze away and watched Nick, Jeff and David working on dance moves.
Kurt frowned he didn't know why Blaine turned away like that, his eyes had gone wide and then he lowered his head. He would have to ask about it later to find out what was going on. He had been lost in Blaine's eyes while they were locked onto his, they were almost completely green, a radiant green, right now with only a small disc of that stunning honey brown color. Kurt sighed and started watching the boys dance too. He felt eyes watching him and Blaine and he knew it was Sebastian. He silently wondered if Sebastian would ever leave Blaine alone.
When Wes finally called an end to the meeting, the boys all filed out of the room. Blaine finally stood up and was looking down at Kurt who was still seated. "Are you coming?" He didn't know why Kurt hadn't moved yet. He tugged on Kurt's arm and Kurt looked up at him a smile tugging at the corner of his lips. "What?" Kurt tugged back on Blaine's arm and he fell back forward onto the sofa almost landing on top of Kurt. Blaine blushed and playfully hit Kurt in the shoulder. "That wasn't nice..." He put a small pout on his face.
Kurt didn't like that Blaine wasn't really making eye contact with him still. He took a hold of his chin and turned his face so he was looking directly at him. Blaine advert his eyes so he was looking at Kurt's mouth. "Blaine, what's wrong?"
Blaine looked up at Kurt his eyes were mostly gray now. He sighed, "I'm sorry..."
"Baby what are you sorry about?"
"It's going to sound stupid..." Blaine really didn't want to tell Kurt, hell it sounded stupid to him.
"I'm sure it won't..." Kurt really wanted Blaine to start telling him things. "You can tell me anything." Kurt smiled at him and let go of his chin.
"Blue eyes kind of freak me out..." Blaine bit his bottom lip and fiddled with Kurt's tie, stroking the smooth fabric with his fingers.
Kurt nodded in understanding. "His eyes are blue..."
Blaine looked up at Kurt when he said this. "Your color when I first saw you was similar, but as I looked closer I realized they were three colors, but sometimes they are completely that pale blue, almost the same color as his..." Blaine looked into Kurt's eyes. "But right now they are almost completely gray."
"And earlier they were blue weren't they?" Blaine nodded at him.
"I'm sorry, I'm trying not to do that...but..." Blaine sighed. Kurt pulled him into his arms and Blaine rested his head on his shoulder. He felt Kurt sigh, and he snuggled closer to him. "Sorry..."
"You have nothing to apologize for." Kurt kissed the side of Blaine's face that was not hidden in his neck. "I just wish I could make you forget about him completely."
Blaine picked his head up and leaned in placing a soft kiss to Kurt's lips. "You have helped me a lot!"
Kurt smiled again, he was glad he was helping Blaine. He leaned in and kissed Blaine again placing his hand on the back of his neck. When he heard the door shut hard he pulled away from the kiss, him and Blaine both looking over at the door. Kurt sighed and stood up pulling Blaine to his feet. "Let's go eat."
Blaine nodded his stomach was growling. When they got down to the cafeteria the food smelt really good. Blaine put a hand on his stomach. Kurt laughed at him. They got in line behind a group of boys that were talking with each other. Blaine didn't realize who they were until one turned around too look at him. It was Alex he looked Blaine over and then turned his gaze on Kurt, who had his hand on Blaine's side.
"So the rumors are true?" Alex asked. He had heard that Kurt had asked Blaine out from someone that shared study hall with Kurt, but he didn't think Blaine would have said yes.
"Yes we are together." Kurt said stepping closer to Blaine. Kurt watched as Theo and Henry both turned around to look at them too.
"So Shorty here has come out of his shell and is going to let someone close to him..." Theo reached a hand out and tried to touch Blaine's hair.
"Please don't touch him..." Kurt asked as nice as he could. He was really starting to not like these guys even more, if that was even possible.
Theo just smirked at Kurt and reached out and ran his fingers through Blaine's gel trapped curls. "You know Shorty I miss seeing your curls..." Theo pulled his hand away after Kurt hit it. He let out a small chuckle.
Kurt wrapped his arms around Blaine when he felt him push his body against his; it was like he was trying to melt into Kurt. Alex was now smiling at Kurt, Henry just looked bored. Kurt was going to say something back but just as he opened his mouth, someone came rushing over pushing into Theo and Alex and they got rowdy. When he turned to look at Kurt and Blaine, Kurt realized that it was the Tom from their gym class. Thomas Griffins a senior, quite popular, on the lacrosse team, but a bit of a trouble maker. Kurt found this all out from Jeff and Nick. And he used to be friends with Jeremiah, which Blaine didn't tell him.
Kurt tightened his arms around Blaine when he felt him fidget. He was not very comfortable standing near these guys. "Can you guys move so we can get our food?" Kurt didn't like that they were just standing there and not moving with the line.
Tom smirked at Kurt and then pushed the other three out of the way. "By all means..." He motioned with his arm for Blaine and Kurt to go ahead of them.
Kurt sighed and nudged Blaine forward and they walked past the guys. Kurt heard them whisper something to each other but couldn't tell what they said. He picked up a tray and watched Blaine he still looked extremely nervous and tense. He rubbed Blaine's shoulder and felt him relax slightly under his hand. Kurt watched as Blaine dished up some cheesy chicken and rice casserole on to his plate and then got some mixed vegetables and picked up a bowl of strawberry jell-o with whipped topping for dessert. Kurt scooped up some creamy vegetable and rice casserole and plopped it on his plate, it looked very good. He got some of the mixed vegetables and then grabbed a bowl of jell-o too. They got their drinks and then looked over to their table it was empty.
"Do you want to go eat in our room?" Blaine asked looking around the full cafeteria. "Nick and Jeff aren't going to be eating down here and I'd rather be with just you." Blaine wanted to get away from everyone.
Kurt nodded at him and they left the cafeteria, before Kurt walked out the double doors he noticed Alex and Tom whispering to each other again and watching Blaine. He sighed and rushed out the door to catch up to Blaine. "You okay?" Blaine just nodded at him. "Baby will you tell me why they freak you out so much?"
"They were all friends with him...I just don't like being around them now..." Blaine sighed, he knew he would eventually have to tell Kurt what happened but he was hoping he could hold it off for awhile because he didn't like talking about it. But he knew Kurt deserved to know, he was just scared of how he would take it. He looked over at Kurt he was watching him. "What has Alex said to you?"
Kurt shook his head he didn't want to talk about any of it while they were walking down the halls. The boys seemed to like gossip around here and he wasn't going to give them anything to gossip about. When they got back to their room Kurt took Blaine's tray so he could unlock the door. Kurt walked in and sat the trays down on his bed and patted the spot beside him for Blaine to sit.
Blaine walked over to Kurt's bed and sat down, crossing his legs. "Was it bad what he said to you?" Blaine didn't know why Kurt didn't want to talk about it outside the room.
Kurt shook his head. "It wasn't bad, but he denies knowing about anything that happened to you and I don't believe him, I think that he and the others know more than they are telling...do they?" Kurt watched Blaine's eyebrows stitch together, he was upset. Kurt took Blaine's hand and squeezed it. "Baby talk to me...please?"
"They do know more than what Alex is admitting to knowing...but I don't know if I can talk about it yet...I've only talked about it with two people and..." Blaine felt a tear run down his cheek and he wiped at his eyes with the back of his hand. He didn't want to cry. "I'm sorry..."
"You've got to stop saying that..." Kurt slid the trays out of the way and pulled Blaine too him. "You don't have anything to be sorry about." Kurt wrapped his arms around his upset boyfriend. He just wished he could make it all better for him.
Blaine rested his forehead against Kurt's chest and started playing with his tie again. "We should eat before it gets cold..." He felt Kurt sigh so he pulled back and looked at him. Kurt reached forward and unbuttoned Blaine's blazer and then slid it off his shoulders. Blaine smiled at him as he watched Kurt do the same with his own. He watched Kurt undo his tie and slide it off over his head and then he started unbuttoning his shirt. Blaine backed away slightly, but stopped moving when Kurt looked up at him.
"Baby, it's okay, it's just warm in here." Kurt saw the startled look on Blaine's face. He finished undoing the buttons and slid the shirt off, he had on a plain white t-shirt underneath. Kurt watched Blaine pick up his tie that he had sat on the bed and he started fiddling with it again. He realized he did this when he was nervous. "You're too cute!" Kurt ran his hand down Blaine's cheek. "Let's eat..."
When they were done eating and both taken their showers to get ready for bed, Kurt popped in another movie and hit play. He climbed on the bed and moved Blaine's pillows so they were in his lap. "Come here you..."
Blaine smiled at him and climbed on the bed. He laid his head on the pillows and looked up at Kurt. "What movie did you pick?"
"The Time Traveler's Wife..." Kurt started running his fingers through Blaine's curls. He would never get sick of doing this. Blaine just nodded at him and then turned his face back towards the TV.
When the movie was over, Kurt heard a soft whimper noise escape Blaine's lips. He was asleep. Kurt sighed and moved out from under Blaine's head. He put the TV away and then came back over to Blaine; he folded down his blankets and then moved Blaine, sliding him into the bed. Blaine never woke up just mumbled at him. Kurt smiled and kissed him on the head. "Goodnight, Baby..." Kurt yawned and climbed into his own bed and turned off the light, he was going to be able to sleep good tonight...
