The four boys couldn’t help but imagine a young Wes trying to understand why the rules of the parenting game had changed suddenly. Nick then realized that Wes’ “Council Personality” must have appeared due to him wanting to have some control over something in his life.

            David said, “I didn’t realize what had happened. After the debacle, Mamma and Papa had come and told me that they were totally fine with the fact that I liked boys, but at the same time, they suddenly increased the time of Wes’ curfew. I remember that he couldn’t play any game fully because his mom used to tell him to come home by eight o’ clock sharp.”

            Wes put his hand on David’s arm, seeming to take strength from him and said, “So I did what they said. I pretended I didn’t know what was going on and blindly followed what they said. And that is what has been going on for the past six years. They don’t know who I am any more. That is, the real me. I have been faking the perfect leader personality for them to adore, when all I want to do, is kiss the man I love.”

            David hugged Wes. He was happy that Wes had finally finished talking, because he knew how much it took out of him to confess that his parents hated his real personality.

            Blaine was happy that his parents were supportive of him. They had qualms at first due to all the mental and physical harm that came with it but he convinced them that there was no use in them trying to be over-precautious and disregard his view altogether. Thankfully, they agreed that doing so would mean the haters had won after all.

            Jeff and Nick were not worried. They were so flamboyant that their parents had realized very young that the extent they would go to get a girl naked would be a Barbie only. It was also why Kurt had become friends with them immediately even though he had to compete against them for a solo and sadly lost.

            Wes then straightened his shoulders and said, “That’s that. So that’s my story, and I would appreciate it if you wouldn’t go telling anyone about it. The last thing we need is a St. James like issue on our hands.” He then dusted off his blazer, and left the room.

            “St. James situation?” was what fell from everyone’s lips once he left, except Blaine’s. Blaine just laughed and said, “Let me clue you in on the disaster that was Kurt’s freshman year…”

            And they couldn’t stop screaming insults at the aforementioned son-of-a-bitch, who had thrown eggs with his comrades at Rachel, knowing that she was a vegan.

            And as if they were speaking of the devil, Blaine got a call. And as he saw the caller ID, Jeff and Nick snatched the phone from him and started screaming over the phone-

“I’m so sorry!”

“Should we beat him up?”

“Hang him from the rooftops till he begs for forgiveness?”

“Dip him in honey and put him in the forest?”

“Tear off all his clothes and sell him to a pimp?”

            Rachel sounded frightened like hell when she asked, “Is this Blaine Warbler’s phone?”

            Blaine snatched the phone back from them and said, “Yeah. They are two of my good friends, Jeff and Nick. They just heard about the St. James situation which happened last year, and so they are planning ways to murder him for the trauma he caused you.”

            Even the mostly-oblivious Blaine could feel that she was smiling.

~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!

            Once Rachel stopped smiling and realized that Blaine was still on the phone, she started talking, “We have a problem here.”

            Blaine started freaking out and immediately jumped to the worst conclusion, “Did Karofsky come back? Is Kurt okay? Couldn’t you guys have kept him away from places where jocks would roam? Where is Kurt now? Come on, tell me, please?”

            Rachel literally screamed into the phone, “KURT IS FINE!!!” She sarcastically added, “Now that you have asked after each of our wellbeing’s, I can tell you the news I wanted to tell you.”

            Tina took the phone from Rachel and said, “You’ll be here chattering all day if we let you. And yeah, the news is that Kurt is becoming suspicious of us. We have been trying to divert the topic of his birthday because clearly we don’t know what to say. So he’s determined to find out what secrets we are sharing without him.”

            Blaine was speechless. He knew his boyfriend was smart but this was way too fast, even for him. He had to do something so Kurt wouldn’t think he was cheating on him. He told the girls to keep Kurt occupied till he came.

            Blaine kept the phone and told the guys, “Kurt is suspicious regarding the party. What to do? What to do?” He had not applied any gel due to him staying at Dalton and the fact that everyone at school had seen his crazy hair at least once. He was pulling his hair at all angles, trying to figure out something, while making his hair even worse.

            David couldn’t look away from Blaine’s hair. It was like a squirrel just attacked it and then it got struck by lightning. And then lightning struck him. He told Blaine, “Go to Lima like this!”

            Blaine gave him a dumbstruck look to which he expanded, “Kurt has never seen you like this. So, if you go and show your face to Kurt like this, either he will make out with you like anything, because you look so damn sexy…”

            “Or he’ll take you home to show how to take care of your hair,” Nick finished for him.

            Blaine really felt bad for himself that he had to reveal the worst secret of his life. But it was all good, as he would do anything to ensure the happiness of the love of his life.
