When they cut to commercial during 'Michael', after Blaine fell to the floor crying I knew there was potential there :) So, here's an idea come to life…Enjoy!
Blaine's POV
When I saw it, I knew I had to do something.
A small brown bag was being passed from Warbler to Warbler as the dance routine went on. If my calculations were correct, it was heading to Sebastian.
That isn't a good thing.
If what Kurt thinks of him is right and if my gut feeling is correct, this is definitely not good.
Sebastian is now dancing in front of my beautiful boyfriend. Kurt. The boy that has been jealous and has been hating Sebastian from the beginning…
The boy I love with all my heart.
I have to get in between Kurt and Sebastian. Because if I'm not careful something could go down between those two. Merlin knows they hate each other. And wouldn't this be the perfect time to do something to Kurt? When no credible witnesses were around, when it was dark, when the dancing mixed with the shadows is creating confusion? So, determined, I move forward, ignoring everyone's—New Directions and Warblers alike—confused glances towards me.
As I look back at it now, I'm happy I did it. No matter how many times Kurt said it was stupid and self-sacrificing protectiveness was very sweet but only got me in trouble.
I'm glad I got in front of Kurt because if I didn't, he would've suffered the way I suffered…which I wouldn't have and couldn't have let happen.
It all happened in a blur…one moment I'm facing Sebastian and trying to seem tough and manly and bad despite my Hobbit-ness…then I see the bag appear once more. But this time Sebastian's holding it and he's pulling the contents out of the bag. I had barely a second to realize that it's a slushie (Kurt always said I was bound to get slushied at some point, because I was part of the Glee club; but I never thought it would actually happen).
And then he's throwing at me.
It hits me before I could brace for it or even close my eyes; for a second I can barely breathe, because it's just like Kurt described it (it's basically being bitch slapped by an iceberg) and I go into slight shock at the cold…
Then the pain hits me.
And it's there and it hurts and it won't go away! My eyes! My—
I fall to my knees, hearing an agonized cry as I do so (as I look back on it I now realize it was me). I hold my hands against my eyes, protecting it from any other damage that can be done to it. It still hurts though. I moan as I rock back and forth, feeling tears in my eyes. I try and blink but that only makes the pain worse.
Vaguely I can hear the chaos around me. I hear the Warblers—my old friends—walk away without questioning if I was okay. I thought with my moaning like a wounded animal (which I basically was) would spark some sympathy or concern, but no...They walk away with Sebastian (I almost never swear, but that bastard!) without a look back.
Once they leave though, the concern that was missing comes at full force; though it's coming from my new friends that were angry at me and calling me traitor only earlier today.
But I'm a forgiving person, so I'll let it go.
"Oh my Lord—Are you okay?" was all Rachel had to cry before everyone's shock disappeared. Suddenly everyone was touching me, talking to me, asking me repeatedly for my condition. That, coupled with my still stinging eyes, was overwhelming and for awhile I couldn't answer all the voices.
It wasn't until Kurt—my angel and savior—called for everyone to stop did the voices hush and I could finally think freely again.
"Honey?" he asked attentively.
I moaned in response.
"What's wrong?"
If I wasn't in severe pain, I'd be smiling. Because I loved the fact that instead of asking if I was okay, which everyone else had been doing, he asked me what was wrong; simply because he already knew I was hurt.
Merlin I love this man.
"My eyes…" I manage to whimper, my body beginning to shake as I began to cry. The crying seemed to be making the stinging lessen, so I let the sobs overtake me.
I force myself forget that this was my first time ever to cry in front of anyone other then my mom…and I sort of wish now that it was just Kurt with me. But the others took the crying in stride and didn't insult me or disturb me. They just stayed silent…and I'm grateful
"I'll call an ambulance." I hear Mercedes say in the background and I'm so very thankful.
I'm not stupid; I know this is serious. And I'm glad that someone finally had the sense to help me.
Kurt then began to rub my back comfortingly, like I did for him many times. It in fact comforts me, so I lean into him and let him rub my back until the ambulance arrives.
Kurt's POV
I stare at Blaine kneeling on the ground. No one's moving, no one's speaking. I guess we're all trying to pretend that everything's fine; that one of our friends—my boyfriend—wasn't on the ground moaning and holding his face in his hands.
I know something's wrong, but I'm scared. I'm scared of seeing Blaine this way. My Blaine. The one to comfort me when I need it. My shoulder to cry on. My best friend. My courage.
Isn't courage supposed to grin and bear the pain?
Which is why I'm led to the conclusion that this is very serious; if it wasn't, he wouldn't be on the ground and moaning and crying would he?
"Oh my Lord—Are you okay?" Rachel suddenly pipes in.
I turn to her, and I see her eyes are wide and tears are collecting in her eyes. As if Blaine was her best friend. Her boyfriend. Her love.
At least somebody's doing his boyfriend's job. Something inside me sneers.
I shake the voice away as everything around me turns into absolute chaos; Rachel's crying into Finn's chest; Puck, Quinn, Rory, Tina, Mike are kneeling beside Blaine, asking him repeatedly if he's okay; Sam is rubbing the shoulders of a shocked Mercedes; Brittany is holding a screaming-in-Spanish Santana back (I assume she would've gone and kicked the Warblers' asses if Brittany had let her go; I wouldn't have minded that).
But as the chaos doubles around me, all I can look at is Blaine.
Poor, innocent Blaine, who willing stepped in front of me so I wouldn't get that slushie. No doubt it was sweet…but it was also incredibly stupid and increased my guilt tenfold.
Now Blaine is slightly sobbing, holding his head and shrinking into himself. I assume that he's trying to get away from the hands of my friends who are gently probing him, to see if he's okay.
I know what I have to do.
"Stop!" I yell at everyone.
Everyone, including Rachel, stop what they were doing and stare at me. I nod and indicate for the group kneeling beside Blaine to move. They move willingly (I am his boyfriend after all) and I kneel in their place. I kneel beside Blaine and gently touch his hair. I guess he's so overwhelmed by whatever's happening to him that he didn't notice my hand; because instead of smiling at the touch he just whimpers.
"Honey?"
He moans in response.
"What's wrong?"
I could be seeing things, but I thought I saw a little tiny beginning of a smile before he whimpered back, "My eyes…"
And then he starts to weep.
At first I'm shocked and I go rigid. I've never—I've never dealt with a crying Blaine before. In our relationship, I'm the crier. He's the shoulder.
And damn, role reversal's a bitch because now I have no idea what to do.
"I'll call an ambulance." I hear Mercedes say, and I'm thankful. Gaga knows I wouldn't be able to do it in this state and no one else seems to have a clear head.
And it's then I hear Blaine give a little whimper. A whimper so like the ones my little cousin used to give when she'd occasionally trip and cut her knees.
And that's how I know what to do.
I reach out confidently and begin to rub Blaine's back with soothing circles. He immediately responds by leaning into my hand and little bit more and sighing. For the first time since the Lima Bean this morning I smile and continue to rub Blaine's back. Hopefully the ambulance will be here soon.
Should I write a companion piece for when they get to the hospital? If you think I should, let me know in a review…
If you liked it, leave me a review…
