Jeff had listened to the boy and his eye lit up when Blaine asked about competition and saying he wouldn’t be in the way. “Psh, you wouldn’t be in the way and I bet you’ll get moved by the music and want to join in” he teased gently nudging the boy next to him as Nick rolled his eyes and smiled “we don’t have competition for at least a month and a half and right now we are practicing on perfecting what we’ve got so we can choose within the next few weeks what we plan on using” he told Blaine
The others merely watched and ate as the two younger boys encouraged the newest member of Dalton with their group. Wes spoke up “Don’t feel obligated to listen to these two, Jeff can badger people into something he’s good at that and Nick is just the same just milder in the approach.” he pointed the two, before adding on “You are always welcome at the meetings just to watch or to join we are always looking for fresh new faces. Especially if they drowned out a super hyper blonde” he teased towards Jeff who pouted “I’m not THAT horrible all the time.” he stuck his tongue out at the senior before turning back to Blaine “So how bout Tomorrow you’ll join me after classes for the clubs meeting?”
The idea of singing with the group made Blaine’s eyes widen and his smile couldn’t possibly get any bigger as he looked from Jeff to Nick and then gave a quick sweep of his gaze past all the other faces gathered at the table. He was expecting to see some only going along with the excitement of the others and not very interested in what was going on. Maybe even one or two wondering what made him so important that he was invited to join and even sing with them when they barely knew who he was? Judging off appearances alone? Someone might jump to a conclusion that he was a rich kid gone wrong. Sent here by parents to make him listen as a last ditch effort. If you went by the few still not completely faded marks he wished his father would have let him stay at home until they were gone.
Face after face was looked at and–he didn’t see any of that. Quite the opposite. He was greeted with smiles, nods, and overdone rolls of eyes as they laughed and ticked their heads towards Jeff like they wholeheartedly agreed with Wes. Even if the blonde denied what their leader said. Seeing that instead of the worst? Blaine felt..hope. That maybe Jeff did more than become his friend in a matter of minutes. That the boy unknowingly gave him something he used to have so much of and cherished deeply. Only to have it brutally taken away. Since that day? He fought every morning for some of that back. Now, it came rushing at him in waves and he was speechless. Until he stuttered, “Y-Yeah! I’d love to. And..guys. I agree. Jeff can’t be that bad,” he grinned trying not to show just how deeply he was affected just then out of fear of being cheesy. “Like he said.. Not all the time.”
