Chapter 7

Blaine woke up Just in time to get ready to school. He checked his phone and saw eight missed calls and a few texts from Kurt. He hadn’t seen Kurt since their little argument and was so scared after what Noah said that he went home before school ended.

From: Kurt

Blaine, I’m sorry. Are you mad at me? Please call me.

From: Kurt

B, answer me please! I’m starting to get worried.

From: Kurt

Blaine Devon Anderson, call me right now! I don’t it want to be like this. You’re my best friend.

From: Kurt

Okay, I give up. Hope you’re okay.

Oh, God. Blaine was so confused. He didn’t know what to do. He only knew that he hated Noah more than anything in the world. How could someone threaten to hurt their own boyfriend? It’s even worse because said boyfriend is Kurt. Beautiful, innocent, pure and perfect Kurt.

Blaine was afraid that even if he stopped talking to Kurt, that sick monster would do something to hurt the boy he loved. But the problem was that if he didn’t stop, he would definitely hurt him.

Then Blaine made up his mind. As much as it hurts, he had to be away from the one thing that made him so happy, that made it worth living. He just couldn’t risk. He had to protect him, even if everytime Blaine would see his best friend his heart would stop and all he wanted to do was to tell him the truth.

Blaine arrived to school purposefully late. The hallways were empty and he had already missed Math class, which he shared with Kurt. The others classes of the day weren’t the same as Kurt’s.

He just didn’t know how he was going to avoid him in the break. He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn’t feel the time pass. Suddenly the bell rang and he had to try his best to stay away from the boy he loved.

He decided to eat in the restroom, as much as the idea made him want to puke.

But Kurt, as always came up with a way to find him.

“Blaine?” Kurt called as he arched his back to look in each toilet.

He knocked on the door when he found the other boy.

Blaine had no choice other than to open it.

“Kurt, look, I can’t talk now-”

“Blaine Anderson, I’ve had enough! You’re gonna tell me what’s going on right now!” Kurt snapped, his sharp tone both startling himself and Blaine.

“I’m sorry, Kurt…I just” Blaine got quiet because he didn’t know what to tell the other boy. He felt his eyes fill with tears that started to fall soon.

“B, hey…what’s going on?” Kurt took Blaine in his arms. “Don’t cry, I’m here”

Blaine buried his face in his best friend’s neck and let himself be held as he sobbed hardly. That could be the last time he would feel the boy he loved so close.

Kurt didn’t say anything until Blaine stopped crying. Finally he pulled away and broke the silence.

“Blaine, why were you crying?”

“Kurt, I have to tell you something” Blaine said, nervously.

“Okay” He nodded.

When Blaine opened his mouth to speak the door burst open.

“Kurt, babe, you’re here” Noah said. “Oh, hi Blaine” He gave him a look that made the other boy shiver with fear.

Great. Everytime Blaine had something important to say, Noah would interrupt him. He was so sick of it.

“Can you stop doing that?” Blaine blurted out, angrily. He didn’t realize he had said that out loud until he saw Kurt and Noah staring at him in confusion.

“What do you mean, B?” Kurt asked softly.

“Uh, nothing” He glared at Noah’s annoyed face “I think I’m gonna go, okay?” With one last glance at Kurt’s gorgeous eyes, he disappeared.

“What the hell?” Kurt hissed.

“Let’s go, Kurt.”

“No, I need to find Blaine” Kurt said, determined.

“What? No! I’m your boyfriend and am telling you to come. I really don’t like that you two are so close to each other! Come with me, Kurt!” Noah almost yelled.

“Don’t try to tell me what to do, Noah! You’re my boyfriend, not my owner!” Kurt was starting to get angry.

Suddenly, Kurt felt Noah’s strong arms pushing him so forcefully he almost fell.

“You’re not going! Come with me and leave that creep alone! I hate him so much!” Noah said, his tone getting higher and eyes full with rage.

“Noah, what’s got into you? I’ve never seen you like this” Kurt said, his voice broken and tears starting to form in his eyes.

Then something in Noah’s eyes became softer.

“Baby, I’m sorry…I didn’t mean to hurt you. Fuck. I-I just don’t like him, okay? What kind of man would like a guy that follows his boyfriend like a lost puppy? I just feel like he’s taking you away from me. I’m sorry, honey” Noah said, feeling nervous.

He had to act like the perfect boyfriend to Kurt to get what he truly wanted. He couldn’t lose control now.

“Oh, Noah…are you jealous? You don’t have to be jealous. Blaine is my best friend and I’ll never feel those kinds of feelings for him,” Kurt knew this was far from the truth and he hated that he had to lie to Noah but what could he do? He didn’t want to lose the only person he knew that could love him like that. Even though he loved Blaine, he would never love him back. “But you have to understand that I care about him and he cares about me. That’s what friends do. And that’s what we are. Friends.”

“It’s okay, babe. I overreacted. You can go look for him if you want to”

“Really?”

“Yes.” He smiled, but felt anger consuming him inside.

“Thanks. You’re the best!” Kurt pecked him on the lips and left.

I have to do something to make Kurt never want to look at his face anymore. But what? Noah thought. Then something clicked on his mind. He knew exactly what to do.

“Hey, Tina! Have you seen Blaine?”

“Oh, hi Kurt. Yes, he went to the choir room.” When Kurt was going to thank her she opened her mouth again “Kurt, I’m worried about him. He didn’t seem really well.”

“Yeah, I’m worried too. I’m gonna find him and discover what’s going on. Thanks, Tina” Kurt rushed to the choir room.

The closer he got more he noticed the sound of a piano playing a song he knew very well and that was about to start.

You've been on my mind,
I grow fonder every day,

That was when he saw perfect Blaine, singing this perfect song. A song he had listened so many times while thinking of his best friend.

Lose myself in time,
Just thinking of your face,

He couldn’t help but join in a sing the next verse. Blaine turned around, surprised and with a smile gracing his lips.

God only knows why it's taken me so long to let my
doubts go,
You're the only one that I want,

I don't know why I'm scared,
I've been here before,
Every feeling, every word,
I've imagined it all,
You'll never know if you never try,
To forgive your past and simply be mine,

I dare you to let me be your, your one and only,
Promise I'm worthy,
To hold in your arms,
So come on and give me a chance,
To prove I am the one who can walk that mile,
Until the end starts,

If I've been on your mind,
You hang on every word I say,
Lose yourself in time,
At the mention of my name,
Will I ever know how it feels to hold you close,
And have you tell me whichever road I choose, you'll go?

I don't know why I'm scared,
'Cause I've been here before,
Every feeling, every word,
I've imagined it all,
You'll never know if you never try,
To forgive your past and simply be mine,
I dare you to let me be your, your one and only,
I promise I'm worthy, mmm,
To hold in your arms,
So come on and give me a chance,
To prove I am the one who can walk that mile,
Until the end starts,

I know it ain't easy giving up your heart,
I know it ain't easy giving up your heart,
Nobody's perfect,
(I know it ain't easy giving up your heart),
Trust me I've learned it,
Nobody's perfect,
(I know it ain't easy giving up your heart),
Trust me I've learned it,
Nobody's perfect,
(I know it ain't easy giving up your heart),
Trust me I've learned it,
Nobody's perfect,
(I know it ain't easy giving up your heart),
Trust me I've learned it,

So I dare you to let me be your, your one and only,
I promise I'm worthy,
To hold in your arms,
So come on and give me a chance,
To prove I am the one who can walk that mile,
Until the end starts,

Come on and give me a chance,
To prove I am the one who can walk that mile,
Until the end starts.

When the song finished they were so close to each other Kurt could feel Blaine’s breath on his lips as their noses brushed. Blaine closed his eyes but Kurt kept his own open, trying to pull away but he just couldn’t. Blaine’s breath smelled like spearmint. That’s when Kurt knew that he wouldn’t be able to resist like he did that night on his house. He had to close the gap and that’s what he did. He felt Blaine gasp in surprise but after two seconds he started to kiss back and-

Oh my dear God. Blaine’s lips were so soft. He felt guilty for thinking that but it was much better than kissing Noah. It was just magical.

Blaine put his arms around the other boy’s waist and Kurt lifted his hands to cup Blaine’s cheek softly. They spent a moment just moving their lips rhythmically when the shorter put his tongue between his best friend’s teeth asking for entrance. He obliged immediately. Blaine hummed in contentment as Kurt moaned the moment their tongues started to dance together. Suddenly Kurt pulled away. Blaine groaned in protest.

“Blaine, I-I can’t. Please, let’s stop.” Kurt said, breathless.

“Kurt, do you really want to stop or is it because of Noah?” Blaine asked.

“I just can’t do this, okay? It’s not right.”

“It feels right to me.” Blaine sighed. “Okay, tell me you don’t want to kiss me, then I won’t.”

“Blaine..”

“Tell me.”

“I can’t!” Kurt said desperately, pulling Blaine for another kiss, unable to control his urge to fell the other boy’s lips against his.

Out of sudden they heard loud footsteps and someone yelling.

“WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE?”
