He was happy that Blaine was finally talking to him, they had gone to lunch and he had actually noticed that he was there. Picking at their lunches they talked about what they liked to do in the gym. It wasnt the most sociable conversation but it was a start.
"Ive always like boxing, I can feel the anger and the stress leaving me with every punch," Blaine said putting a fork full of his food into his mouth.
"Im not sure thats healthy but I guess keeping it all inside is worse," he replied and Blaine nodded.
"Totally," Blaine said finishing off his plate before sliding it forward declaring he was finished. After a couple more mouth fulls he did the same before they stood.
"Are you going to the secret place you normally do?" He asked and Blaine smiled looking to the floor.
"Yeah, and its secret for a reason," Blaine said looking back up. "If you want you can go straight to the gym and Ill meet you there in about twenty minutes?" Blaine continued and his eyes widened before he nodded.
"Yeah ok," he replied and Blaine nodded.
"Maybe I can show you a few moves on the punching bag," Blaine said and he laughed before Blaine disappeared from the cafeteria leaving him alone.
He waited a few minutes for his stomach to settle before heading to the gym, he decided that he was going to arms again and walked to the weights. His thigh was still hurting which meant he would struggle on the running machine and decided to keep to the smaller weights just in case he hurt himself.
As he started he turned and sighed when he saw Sebastian coming towards him.
"Hey," Sebastian said with a smug smile and he nodded his hello.
"How come I never see you unless I come in here?" He asked and Sebastians smug smile widened.
"I come in here a lot, and I assume our cells are far apart unless we would have bumped into each other in the cafeteria. They let you out in areas so there isnt too much of a build-up," Sebastian said moving closer but because he was still lifting his weights he couldnt get too close. "Why dont you want me? Am I not attractive to you?" Sebastian continued and he sighed turning and putting the weights back on the stand.
"Sebastian, I dont think youre unattractive but like I said, Im not interested. I dont want a hook up, Im just not that kind of guy," he said wiping a bit of sweat from his forehead with the bottom of his shirt. Sebastian frowned but still moved a little more forward towards him.
"Ok, I get it. Im sorry, can we be at least friends?" Sebastian asked. He wanted to say no but he was too nice for that.
"Yeah of course," he replied and Sebastian smile pulling him in for a hug. He stiffened for a moment before relaxing, there wasnt any harm in a hug. He pulled away after a few seconds and gave Sebastian his best fake smile. But the smile turned genuine when he saw Blaine in the corner of the gym by the door.
Blaine had a frown on his face and he ignored Sebastian before walked towards him. "Blaine, are you ok?" He asked and Blaine nodded walking further into the room.
"Oh, look who it is, how you doing Blainers?" Sebastian said walking until he was standing next to him again. Blaine gave the man evils before walking past the both of them towards the boxing bag. "Wow touchy," Sebastian mocked and he frowned at him.
"Dont," he said before walking away toward Blaine but Sebastian followed. Stopping he turned to him. "Look, I know were friends but could I talk to Blaine alone?" He asked and Sebastian frowned before crossing his arms over his chest.
"Fine," Sebastian said sulking before walking away.
He continued toward Blaine who had already started to hit the bag in a perfect rhythm like he was trying to make music. He didnt try to make him stop or get in his way, he just leaned against a near wall so he could talk to him.
"Whats up?" He asked but Blaine ignored him continuing to punch the bag. "Is it because Sebastians here?" He continued determined to figure out what was wrong.
Blaine started to hit the bag harder and thats how he knew hed gotten his answer.
"Why were you hugging him?" Blaine said between punches and with his teeth clenched.
"Oh, come on Blaine. One, he hugged me and two, why do you care? Were not involved and neither are me and Sebastian," he said and Blaine stopped turning to him breathing heavy.
"I dont care! Hes an asshole and all he wants from men is sex, hes a slut and its disgusting!" Blaine yelled and he stood their aghast at what he was hearing.
"Whats disgusting? The fact that he likes to sleep with people? Or the fact that he likes to sleep with men?" He said walking away. He knew that he was jumping to conclusions but at the time he was so sick of people judging others.
He walked all the way back to the cell before slumping down on to his bed, when he thought about it he knew that Blaine had been in the right and he was in the wrong. He could tell that Sebastian just wanted to sleep with him but he was the first person that had actually talked to him that wanted to, and didnt want to punch him in the face.
He was glad that he didnt get that good of a work out because he didnt have a shower, he was sure that it would make it worse if he was stinking up the cell. Rolling onto his side he sighed, he was going to have to apologise to Blaine for accusing him of being homophobic.
After five minutes of waiting Blaine came storming into the cell and he didnt look happy, he was about to open his mouth to say sorry when Blaine started yelling.
"I am NOT homophobic and I never have been! How dare you take what I said that way, it doesnt matter whether Sebastian was sleeping with guy or girls he is still a slut! He tried to fuck any poor guy that he can get his hands on," Blaine ranted and he stood to try and get him to stop but he was pushed back down hitting his head on the bed frame as he went.
He gasped and held his head but he wasnt worried about that, he was worried about the sadness and the anger in Blaines eyes. Like this was a deeper problem.
Blaine looked as though he was about to start ranting again so he held his hand out to stop him.
"I know Blaine and Im sorry, I didnt know what I was saying and once it was out I couldnt take it back," he said taking his hand away from his head to see a little blood there. "I dont think youre homophobic, I think youre one of the nicest guys in here but you dont trust anyone, so you dont let anyone near you and I understand that," he said not noticing the tears running down his face.
Blaine just looked at him defeated before walking backwards until he hit the cell wall opposite the bed and slid down it until he was sitting on the floor.
"Im sorry, you hit your head, are you ok?" Blaine asked and he nodded. Blaine looked tired but he knew he wasnt going to sleep.
"Blaine," he said and Blaine looked up and into his eyes. "Im really sorry, Im sorry that it affected you this much too," his looked to the floor. He hadnt felt this guilty since the incident. Though, he didnt know if it was possible to feel as guilty as he did that day.
"Its ok, Im ok just dont ever accuse me of anything like that again," Blaine had an angry finger pointed at him and he nodded before wiping the tears from his face.
It was then when the alarm went off meaning they couldnt leave the cell unless they wanted to get locked out.
Blaine pushed himself up from the floor and made his way to the bed before climbing the ladder to his bunk. He didnt try to talk to him again, he assumed he wanted some time to think and to be honest he wouldnt be surprised if he stopped talking to him all together.
