"Alright everyone! Let's get started!" Mr. Shue said enthusiastically as he entered the choir room," with sectionals coming up we really need to step our game up, so this week we are going to have not one, but two assignments! The first one being a ballad, so everyone pair up!" the glee clubers started buzzing, in the end the pairs were nothing short of predictable. Mercedes and Kurt, Tina and Mike, Sam and Britney, Finn and Quinn, Puck and Santana, Artie and Sugar, and of course Blaine and Rachel. Kurt took one look around was anything but surprised, it was the same assignment they'd done a billion times before, and he was kindof getting sick of it. But oh well, at least he'd get to spend some time with Cedes.
"umm mr.shue what about the second assignment?" Rachel said raising her hand. "yes, rachel, well that one is alittle different. And we will definitely get to it later, for now, I want you all to focus on the task at hand okay? Let's go all out guys, give me your best!" Rachel sighed, turning to Blaine with a smile, "so baby, what song do you wanna sing?" she said, running her hand down his arm. Blaine gave her a tired look. "Rachel, how many times do I have to tell you, we're just friends." Rachel huffed," whatever Blaine. You just tell yourself thatthis friday nightwhen you and the guys get drunk and you wanna make out okay?" and with that she stood up and stomped out of the room, dramatic as always. Blaine sighed, leaning back in his chair and rubbing his eyes. This was getting old. Having this argument with Rachel every week was definitely wearing down his patience and he was starting to daydream about locking her in a suitcase and throwing it on a random airplane. He looked around the room, eyeing every "duo" as they picked their ballad. Artie had sugar on his lap and was wheeling her around the room. Quinn was yelling at Finn for something AGAIN. Blaine shuddered, damn that girl was crazy. Mike and Tina were practicing dancing, Sam was saying something that made Britney laugh, Puck was on his phone and Santana sent Blaine a sultry wink, he smirked back, he hadn't "hung out" with tana in a while, maybe it was time to give her a call. And then finally his gaze landed on Kurt and Mercedes, they were both laughing hysterically and it made Blaine smile, until he looked down and noticed the chair Kurt was in. He started clenching his fists thinking about how he got there. Blaine couldn't explain it, be he'd always been very protective of Kurt, ever since he'd met him he'd known that Kurt was someone special, that he was someone going places, that he was someone worth something. And yet people treated him like complete shit, it drove Blaine absolutely insane. Without even realizing it he found himself defending kurt when necessary, taking care of him, making sure he's okay. Just like he had that morning when that creep Sebastian was talking to Kurt in the hallways, he noticed how uncomfortable it made kurt and how Sebastian was just alittle to close for comfort. It made Blaine's blood boil. So after the snake had walked away, Blaine followed him, simply to make sure that he left Kurt alone, in a very convincing way. He couldn't explain why he did it, why he always did it, it was just what he did. He just enjoyed seeing Kurt happy. And watching him right now, laughing comfortably with his best friend, Blaine knew that he would do anything to continue to see Kurt like that.
