[ text; blainey]: I guess your brain wants to continue studying even though you want to sleep.
[ text; blainey]: I am sure. I probably just nervous about this singing competition. 

( mssg » rachel | sent ) You’re nervous?
( mssg » rachel | sent ) You know you’re going to go out there and blow the roof off that auditorium, Rachel.  Just believe in yourself as much as I believe in you.

( mssg » rachel | sent ) Which is a without a doubt in case you were wondering.  I’m a smart guy.  I know what I’m talking about! 🙂

please don’t freak out on me?

                      her eyes widened in surprise. blaine was seeing someone? that was interesting. when he mentioned it was somebody that she knew, rachel went through all the people they knew to see if should could mentally weed out as blaine’s mysterious boyfriend. 

            “— okay, you’ve got me intrigued, tell me more! “

      Blaine scooted close and draped a leg across both of hers.  Mostly to pin her down and keep her from hitting the ceiling if necessary.  Like ripping off a bandaid–thinking telling someone that he was happy for once in so long as ‘ripping off a bandaid’ felt awful–the confession was blurted out in a gushing run-on sentence.  “It’s Sebastian, Rachel.”  Perfectly timed smile GO!  “Before you lose it?  Hear me out?  Or are you not going to lose it?  I can’t believe I’m going to say this.”  He was trying to make a joke but he was so scared crapless of what she’d think nervous he overdid the eyeroll and his huff came out in a weird panting/stuttering sound. “Say something before I go crazy–please?”

“I know I promised to help, but you’ll have to wait five minutes. Please?
 I just want to make sure everything’s in order and then I’m all yours.”

image

“Is that five minutes real time?  Or five minutes Rachel Berry time?
Because there is a very distinct difference between the two. What’s
got you stuck?  Is there something I can do to help?”

[ text; blainey]: I feel better that you were awake.
[ text; blainey]: I’m fine.
[ text; blainey]: I just can’t go to sleep. 

( mssg » rachel | sent ) Was up all night studying.  Haven’t been able to flick the light switch in my brain off.  Wide awake and pretending to sleep.  That sums up what I’m doing.
( mssg » rachel | sent ) You sure?  What’s keeping you up?

                                  “ the last time you said that, you’d spent 200 dollars on hair gel, && had no where to put it—- there was hair gel everywhere, blaine. EVERYWHERE. “ nonetheless, rachel sighed, and nodded her agreement to not freak out until she got the full explanation. “ go on. “

     “Well, yeah, but that was a Black Friday Sale and that gel is really expensive.  I had to stock up when I had the chance..”  She had a point. There was hair gel everywhere.  Their apartment looked like Blaine robbed a gel truck.  He was getting sidetracked.  Back to the point!  “Anyway back to what I was trying to say,” Blaine scooped up her hand and squeezed.  “I’m seeing someone,” he bit his bottom lip then made sure to smile encouragingly, even bowed his head for added emphasis that this was a good thing.  “It’s been going on for a little while.  I didn’t want to rush things by telling everyone before I was sure this was going to be something.  Actually!  It’s someone you know!”  –This was not coming easy.–  “Still with me, Rach?  Not freaking out yet?”

                         rachel sipped at her cup of coffee, and smiled at her friend. “ so what is this big news you have for me? “

image

    Blaine plopped down in the chair next to Rachel’s, hands tucked under his thighs and rocked sideways to bounce off her shoulder trying to hide how nervous he was with a smile that did anything but cover it up. “Let me start off by saying I love you and before I go any further?  You have to promise me to not freak out and hear the whole story before you jump to any conclusions.  Do we have a deal?”

‘i will be the biggest star of them all.’

“If there’s anyone who can pull off that statement?  We all know it’s you, Rachel.  Until that happens?  We should settle on this song list we’re pitching to Mr. Schue for Sectionals.  Unless you plan on giving up and going with another 80′s rock medley? Not that there aren’t some wonderful songs I’m sure he’ll skip over.  I really liked the idea you had for the chance to change things up.  Stardom awaits past yet another trophy.  Baby steps to Broadway as I like to call it.  What do you think?”

the most determined girl i know.

    ❝ Maybe the New Directions with the Warblers could
       do a big presentation for Christmas. You know how
       much the community needs us, Blaine. ❞

“I think that’s a great idea, Rachel.  Let me pitch it to
the Council at the next meeting.  It could help us all to
get out of our comfort zones and perform more.  Wanna
stick around here longer and toss ideas around?  They’ll
be more convinced to combine forces if I have an idea
of what we’d do to pitch to them.  Next round of coffee
is my treat if we stay?”
