[Cue the Glee voiceover guy!] Here's what you missed on Glee! Blaine and Kurt got into a fight and both said some nasty things but Blaine really went over the top and now Kurt's all sad and distant and Blaine really doesn't like it! Blaine also thinks he's in love with Kurt and really wants to ask him out but Kurt seems fixed on being 'just friends!' even though he really likes Blaine too! Sue wants Kurt back on the Cheerios and she's trying to figure out how to get him back on the team and she bugged Dalton to get juice and possible blackmail! Jeff likes Nick and Nick seems to like him back but no one's making a move! Santana's head Cheerio and really wants to impress Brittany and Rachel's going through her 'heart-breaking song writing phase'! So that's what you missed on... GLEE!
Sue Sylvester was a bad person. She was careless, apathetic, rude and downright mean. But Sue had a nice side too... Sue's 'handi-capable' sister was all the proof needed to see that Sue was in fact, a very caring and kind person. Sue could never stand for bullying, the really bad kind. She knew she bullied people sometimes, but that was different. So when Sue came to the understanding that Porcelain was being bullied at Dalton too, she lost it.
She was a little confused with the whole dramatic love affair surrounding it, but one thing stood out: her dear Porcelainstillwasn't happy, or even comfortable.
Now, Sue wasn't stupid. She knew that the bullying at McKinley was much worse. Given a choice, Porcelain would probably claim that there was no bullying at Dalton and that he was totally happy. However, Sueknewindirect bullying when she saw it. She and her sister Jean had been subject to bullying like that enough to spot it in a heartbeat.
Sighing, Sue decided to work out a plan. She didn't know if she could pull it off, but it was worth a shot, at least for now. If not, she had plenty of blackmail to pull out. Plan B was as good as Plan A, but Plan A would make sure that Porcelain wasreallyokay before she got his perky little butt back on the Cheerios.
Picking up her phone, Sue began plotting.
Santana was pissed.
There she was, blonde, beautiful and (somewhat) bright. Brittany smiled down at Artie and they shared a sweet little peck in the middle of the hallway.
Santana was jealous. A furious, jealous Latina girl from Lima Heights wasnotsomeone you's want to mess with. Santana had been through hell in the past week, quitting the Cheerios, confessing her feelings, singing about her feelings and then beingcoldly rejected.All for what? For Artie McCripple Pants,a boy.Santana pushed her hair back and stalked right past the happy couple. She tapped Dave Karofsky on the shoulder, grabbing his hand and pulling him along to class.
Santana Lopez was going to fix this whole mess, or she'd go all Lima Heights... on everyone.
All the Glee girls had gone out for coffee to discuss some stupid showchoir thing, but Santana only had eyes for Brittany. Talking to her, smiling at her, listening to her... It took everything Santana had just to stop herself from leaning over and attaching herself to Brittany's innocent little face. However, that didn't mean playing footsie wasn't an option. Santana grinned, intent on making Brittany blush even more when she happened to catch a snippet of the conversation.
"I wish Kurt were here! He'd make everything so much easier..." the little Jewish hobbit groaned. "Or at least, he could convince Finn to talk to me so we could duet and-"
"Rachel, shut up. You know Kurt would just tell you to let it go and calm yourself." Mercedes chided.
"I know, I know... it's just, Kurt was awesome here... They barely use him over at Dalton..." Rachel grumbled.
"He was supposed to get a solo too..." Mercedes seemed lost in thought. Both girls silently mourned the loss of their friend.
"I seriously wish Dave was permanently expelled. It's his fault Kurt had to leave, you know?" Tina picked at her coffee cup uncomfortably. She really missed Kurt, he was one of the outcasts, like her. They were friends, good friends.
"Yeah, if someone taught that little douche a lesson, everything would be better and Kurt could come back, right?" Santana asked, incredulously. A plan was clicking through her head. With Hummel, some bully prevention or something, Karofsky on board, Prom Queen, sympathy votes... YES! Santana had her plan.
"Yeah, of course. We just want Kurt to be safe." Rachel piped up.
"Yeah, sure... I gotta gay. I mean, go. I gotta go. See you guys later!" Santana fled the Lima Bean, already plotting her comeback.
"Santana!" Sue yelled as Santana entered her office.
"What Coach? I'm not on the Cheerios anymore so you can't expect me to do anyt-" Santana started to defend herself while, but Sue broke in.
"Enough of that. Santana, I will let you back on the Cheerios, position and everything, but I need you to tell. Are the rumors true? Has David Karofsky seen the light?" Sue had heard rumors floating around about the new "Bully Whips", but she was extremely unsure. If this was real, then her plan might be able to work. She'd get Porcelain back after all!
"Oh, yeah. I mean, who's better for whipping some bullies than a former bully and the most powerful girl in the school right now?" Santana smirked.
"Don't flatter yourself Sandbags. I need to know, would Karofsky be willing to apologize to Kurt Hummel? Get him back to McKinley?" Sue raised her eyebrows as Santana stared at her curiously.
"Um, yeah Coach... That was my plan."Holy sweet hell. Is Coach Sue on to me?Santana kept her best poker face on.
"PERFECT! Sandbags, I'll take it from here. You get that apology from Dave and we'll have our Porcelain Lady back in the halls of McKinley in no time. Santana, dismissed." Sue waved Santana out of her office flippantly.
Alright. Time to talk to Figgins and phone one Burt Hummel.
"Are you even sure this is going to work?" Blaine anxiously fixed his tie and straightened the lapels on his Dalton blazer.
"Have we ever steered you wrong?" Wes and David chimed simultaneously, sharing a smirk.
"Is that even a question? What about that time with the pink hair-gel-" Blaine began furiously.
"That was a rhetorical question! Don't worry Blainey, you know you're going to do what we say either way... And trust me, Kurt will love this!" Wes grinned as he watched Blaine begin the tiresome task of mounting copious amount of gel into his curls.
"You'd better be right." Blaine finished his gel routine with some difficulty, determined to get it perfect for Kurt. He picked up the small bouquet he bought Kurt and took a second to calm himself.
Okay, Blaine. You can do this.Blaine thought.
He, Blaine Anderson, was asking Kurt Hummel, the possible love of his life, out on a date. Today.Deep breaths, Blaine.Blaine chided himself.
"Here I go!" Blaine marched down the hall, stopping at Kurt Hummel's dorm room. He raised his hand to knock, when he heard one exasperated Kurt Hummel yelling on the other side of the door. Curiously, and just a bit guiltily, Blaine leaned closer to listen.
Kurt was aghast. Who in their right minds would even think that he was being bullied at Dalton? He was having the time of his life here! He'd made friends and wasfinallyfeeling like he truly belonged. People here didn't care that he was gay, and if they did, they couldn't show it. He was so excited to be here...
Yet, Kurt still found himself on the phone with one Sue Sylvester and his very angry father. They were both convinced that Kurt was still being bullied somehow. How? Kurt had no idea.
"Dad, Coach! I like it here! I really, really do! It's amazing and I have no idea where you got the crazy delusion that I'm being bullied-"
"Kurt, we're just-"his father tried.
"-but I'm not! I'm not being bullied and I'm perfectly fine and happy and I feel like I belong! Please don't take this away from me! Plus, even if I did leave Dalton,where would I go to school?"Kurt asked, huffy. He thought he heard something at the door, but he ignored it.
"Porcelain, you need to understand that we have full reason to believe that you are safe coming back to McKinley. We've apprehended Dave Karofsky and he wants to talk to you and apologize. And we have a new bullying policy, in your honor."Sue had twisted that last part a bit, but no one needed to know. the 'Bully Whips' project was just as good a policy as anything. It would actually get things done, for that matter.
"I can go back to McKinley?" Kurt exhaled in shock. He could go back. Kurt Hummel could go back to McKinley. He actually really wanted to, because without the constant bullying, McKinley had a free aura where he could shine, show his individuality, his uniqueness instead of being part of one uniform group. Kurt really missed his friends, his glee club, his individuality, the ferocity of their competitions and all the crazy drama at William McKinley High School.
"Yes, but you'll have to meet with Karofsky and then decide, because we want you safe, Porcelain."
"Okay, I'll do it. Are you sure I can just transfer back? I mean, I need time to think about it, but I'll do the meeting." Kurt stated confidently.
"Also Porcelain, once you're back, I have every intention of getting you back on the Cheerios. You can do your Glee club, or whatever singing and dancing nonsense you people do there, but I want Porcelain back on the Cheerios, back in your glory, alright?"Sue prodded.
"I don't - I'll have to think about that. But... okay I guess. It's a definite maybe!" Kurt was getting excited now. The Cheerios, though grueling and quite perilous, was actuallyreally fun!Kurt definitely wouldn't mind that kind of attention again, not to mention the routines were pretty much all solos for him! Yup, Kurt was definitely seeing the appeal in cheering again.
"Alright, thanks bye. And see you soon? Yeah, yeah! I can send you my schedule to work out the day for the meeting! Of course, thanks again Dad, Coach Sue! Bye!"
Blaine fell against a wall and sunk to the floor when he heard Kurt hang up. Kurt was being bullied? He wanted out? He wasgoing back to McKinley?Blaine was shell-shocked. What about Karofsky? What aboutthem?Was there even and 'them'. Blaine felt like an idiot. Of course Kurt wanted to go back to McKinley. Kurt belonged there, to them. Not to Blaine... Kurt wasn't Blaine's to hold and to kiss and to love. Blaine felt his heart shatter.
Suddenly, the doorknob turned and a very happy Kurt Hummel stepped out. Blaine quickly stood up and dusted himself off.
"Kurt! I was jus-" Blaine began, but was cut off because Kurtthrew himselfat Blaine. Literally. Not that Blaine was complaining though.
"BLAINE! Ohmygodyouwillneverbelievewhatjusthappened!" Kurt said in one big breath, squeezing Blaine's shoulders tighter. Blaine in turn tightened arms around Kurt's waist, pulling the adorable brunette impossibly close. He nestled his face into Kurt's shoulder and breathed him in.Well, this isn't so bad. Maybe being 'just friends' will work out okay...Blaine thought as he nuzzled Kurt's neck affectionately.
"What happened, sweetie? Slow down!" Blaine chuckled into Kurt's neck. Kurt closed his eyes at the sensation of Blaine's warm breath ghosting down his neck.So this is what heaven feels like... okay...Kurt lost all train of thought for a moment.
"I- uh... Mmm, Blaine. You smell nice..." pushed by endorphins and strong hormones, Kurt Hummel had lost the usually strong filter he kept on around Blaine.
Smiling into each other's necks, the two boys stood that way for a few minutes, but it feltso much longerto them. Embarrassed and blushing brightly, both boys pulled away.
"I.. Well-" Blaine stuttered.
"I was-" Kurt stammered.
Both boys shared another look and burst into giggles, most of the tension dissolving between the two best friends.
"Okay, well!" Kurt started. "I just got a call from Coach Sue and my dad, from McKinley and they say that Karofsky had some kind of intervention! So I might be able to go back to McKinley soon!" Kurt clapped his hands excitedly, though not missing the look of despair that flashed on Blaine's face for a moment. "Blaine, what's wrong?" Kurt asked worriedly.
"Oh, nothing Kurt..." Blaine blushed slightly. "I'm so happy for you Kurt! Are you going to go back?" Blaine asked carefully, testing the waters.
"I- I don't know yet." Kurt said thoughtfully. "I still haven't decided, but there's so much... It's hard. I love you... guys. I mean..." Kurt blushed at his slip-up and Blaine stared in disbelief.Did Kurt just...Blaine just gaped.
"I love all the people from McKinley and there are so many memories there and I love that place, minus the bullying... but seriously. If they've taken care of the bullying, I don't see whynotto transfer back... But then again. I've made friends here and I really like it here. It's so much fun here and.. well, you're my best friend Blaine. I couldneverleave you easily..."You're also the guy of my dreams and I have this horribly gigantic crush on you that WON'T GO AWAY.Kurt bit his tongue, confession on the tip of his tongue.
Blaine melted and he pulled Kurt into another embrace, not as intimate as the other had been, but meaningful all the same.
"Kurt, I want to be indifferent and totally supportive here, but I'm going to be completely biased and selfish when I sayI want to keep you here.With me. Because you're my best friend too, Kurt. I can't just let you go... I just can't. I want you here, Kurt. Please." Blaine pulled away and stared at Kurt, puppy eyes at full force.
"Blaine, put those eyes away!" Kurt laughed a little, but he couldn't help imagining Blaine saying those words in a different situation.I want you, Kurt. I want you here with me...Kurt shivered a little and snapped back to the present. Blaine smiled at him.
"I mean it Kurt, I really, really do..." Blaine murmured and grasped Kurt's hands, holding them close. Kurt's heart stopped and he turned away to attempt to hide his blush. A flash of red and yellow caught his eye and he slowly pulled his hands away to pick up the beautiful bouquet.
"Kurt! Oh, those are... those were.. I brought them... um... I mean..." Blaine was suddenly found incoherent as he watched Kurt smile sweetly at the flowers and smell them.
"Blaine, these are amazing! Gorgeous... who are they for?" Kurt asked hesitantly. Blaine wanted to die... what if he screwed up?
COURAGE.
Blaine stepped forward and grasped Kurt's hands again, holding his eyes with his own.
"They're for you Kurt. I was on my way to ask you to dinner... So, Kurt Elizabeth Hummel, do you want to go out for dinner with me?" Blaine held his breath as he watched Kurt's eyes grow as wide as saucers. "Oh, i-if you don't want to, I'll just-" Blaine turned away slightly, crushed.
"NO!" Kurt yelped and tightened his hands around Blaine's. "I want to." he said, a little breathlessly. "I really, really want to." Relaxing, Blaine grinned wider than Kurt had ever seen before and pulled Kurt into his arms for another hug. Kurt melted against him, feeling like all was right in the world. Kurt slipped into his room and put the flowers in water, before meeting Blaine out in the hallway with a big smile and a twinkle in his eyes.
"Shall we?" Blaine asked.
"By all means, we shall." Kurt was a little disappointed that Blaine was still keeping a distance between them, but that melted when Blaine reached over and intertwined their fingers.
"So..." the hazel-eyed boy began.
"So?" Kurt was confused.
"Is this a date?" Blaine asked tentatively. Kurt chilled internally. Trust Blaine to be straightforward...
"Umm, if you want it to be, then yeah... I guess.. Do you want it to be?" Kurt mumbled out. Kurt turned his head away again, leaving Blaine a stricken and a little worried. He reached out and took hold of Kurt's shoulders and made Kurt look at him, into his eyes.
"Yes. God, yes. Kurt, you have no idea how long I've wanted this..." Blaine admitted, coming clean, a little nervous.
Kurt just looked at him for a good 30 seconds. Blaine began to fret.
"Do you really mean that?" Kurt whispered.
"Yes, of course, Kurt you're so amazing, I can't-" Blaine began.
"So you've felt this way forthat longand you still said the things you said and did the things you did... huh." Kurt snapped, stung by this confession. Blaine was shocked, he didn't know what to say, or do.Holy shit, I messed up so bad... KURT!Blaine thought frantically as Kurt began to walk away.
"Kurt! Wait, what do you mean? Kurt, please! Talk to me!" Blaine was getting desperate when Kurt finally turned around, freezing Blaine on the spot. With tear-filled eyes, Kurt gave Blaine a look of puresorrowand Blaine felt his heart crack and shatter.
"Blaine, I... I really liked you. I mean, I still do, and this is a dream come true for me. But, you did some awful things Blaine. I- I want this Blaine.Us.I wantus.But I need... some time. Please?" Kurt didn't wait for an answer, briskly walking back to his dorm.
Blaine wanted to shrivel up, crawl into a hole and die, right there.
As he watched Kurt's shuddering and retreating form, Blaine felt empty, again.
