hunter.

As much as Hunter anticipated Blaine rejoining the Warblers, he had started to dread the idea. For once he had found something to hold onto. A power source not only tending to his needs, but also his interests. Music. To lose that now, well that’d just send Hunter back down that self destructive little road he both craved && despised at the same time. Though knowing himself, it was going to come sooner or later. Just maybe this time Blaine would be the one to push him down it. His hues dropped to the synced up pace they were walking at. It was as if they’d begun a number, they were so in tune together. && Nothing could of pissed off Hunter more. A fake smile graced his lips as he tried to speed up just a smidgen. “Good to hear you’re finally back where you belong, Blaine. && You’re welcome.” Even if he was irritated, the little bit of thanks felt good. Even if it was false. Though his instinct was to be hateful && angry, the Warbler captain was glad to have the legend back on their team. He was a great player after all. Someone who changed people. A real leader. Nope, now he hated him again.

Was Hunter walking faster because he wanted to get this over with?  Within a step or two–Blaine noticed the distance between them growing and gave the other boy’s shoulder a confused furrow of his eyebrows.  Blaine kept his sigh internal as he sped up now fully convinced that Hunter’s pace was a clear indication he’d rather make this a short conversation. Meeting up with him again–he smiled and darted a measuring glance over Hunter’s profile. “If you don’t mind me asking..  What did you really want to talk about?  I’m sure a welcome back could’ve been handled during practice.  What’s on your mind?  If this is about why I changed my mind and came back after saying I wouldn’t?  I did a lot of thinking and realized that Dalton is what’s better for me.  Other than that?  I’d rather not talk about it if that’s alright.”  Somehow bearing his heart to Hunter wasn’t on his list of things he really wanted to do.  Sebastian knew why.  Trent and Nick knew faint details and he was happy to leave it at that.  Turning his attention back towards the ground and watching it pass by under his shoes–the corner of Blaine’s mouth twitched in what was supposed to be a smile and didn’t quite pan out.
