Finally back with a new chapter! I am so sorry for how long it took, I ended up writing another story called Limitless that absorbed all my writing time. But now that story is written so I decided to turn my attention back to this story. This is a big chapter event wise so I hope it makes up for the wait! As always I do not own the rights to Glee nor to do I own the rights to any of it's characters. This is nothing but a work of fiction. Enjoy!

Sam's Thoughts

Blaine's Thoughts

Chapter 4:

Sam found himself practically skipping down the hallways of McKinley the next day. His date with Blaine was nothing like he expected. They went to dinner and a movie, but that wasn't the important part. Sam just felt different for some reason, he noticed it about half way through dinner. He couldn't remember the last time he felt this happy, the feeling only intensified as he spotted Blaine at his locker. 'God he looks so cute today.' "Hey."

Blaine turned and smiled when he saw Sam leaning against his locker. "Hi Sam. How was your night?" 'Smooth, Blaine. Real smooth.' Sam chuckled, "It was good. I wish you could have been there though." Blaine smiled, "Well maybe you could come stay over tonight. My parents still aren't back so no need to worry about them."

Sam's brow furrowed a little, "You're parents are still gone? How often do they leave you alone?" Blaine shrugged, "I see them a couple times a month. But I have a monthly allowance they load onto my debit card so I can take care of myself." 'How is he is calm about this? What kind of parents would do that to their kid?' "Well I'm here for you now. So I can take care of you."

'Great. Now he thinks I'm a victim.' "Sam, you really don't have to do that. You're my boy...is it ok if I call you my boyfriend?" 'God damnit why am I such a child!' Sam smiled brightly, "I would love it if you would call me your boyfriend. I mean the whole Glee club is going to know after today. Plus, I'm proud to be with you." 'He has to know he matters.'

"Wait, you are? Why?" 'He's got to be joking.' Sam smiled sweetly, "Because you have got to be one of the strongest people I know. You got through your breakup with Kurt without ever dropping below an A- in any of your classes. You basically take care of yourself and still manage to be one of the most genuinely good people I have ever met. How could I not be proud to be with you? You're fucking amazing Blaine." Blaine felt heat rushing to his cheeks, 'What am I supposed to say to that?' "Thanks Sam and...just so you know. What you're going to do today means a lot to me. I know this is hard for you."

Sam leaned in and kissed Blaine's forehead, "If it will make you happy. I'm there for you. Come on, we are going to be late." Without a second thought Sam took Blaine's hand and laced their fingers together. 'Is he really holding my hand down the hallway right now?' Sam didn't seem nearly as concerned as Blaine as he continued to walk toward the choir room without a care in the world. As they entered the choir room Tina spotted them and glanced down, once she saw their hands were joined she jumped out and rushed over to the boys. "So what's going on?" Tina smiled mischievously at Blaine, 'Great. Well, here we go.'

Blaine started to say something but was quickly interrupted by Sam, "Oh you know, just holding hands with my new boyfriend." Tina's eyes widened, "Boyfriend?!" This got the attention of the other Glee club members, Unique walked over to stand next to Tina, "What are you screaming about now girl?" Tina didn't need to say anything as Unique noticed Sam and Blaine and put the pieces together for herself, "Oh snap. Well done Blainey." Blaine smiled widely at his friend, "Thanks girl." "But I do expect details on your adventures in the bedroom."

Blaine laughed when Unique winked at him not so subtly, "Between you and Tina I swear. How did I end up with such perverted friends?" Tina smiled sweetly, "Just lucky I guess." Sam chuckled, "I like our friends. So you guys are cool with us?" Both girls looked at each and smiled, "Definitely. As long as Blaine's happy we are happy. But the boy has been through enough, don't break his heart of we will break you." Blaine laughed as Sam suddenly looked more nervous, "Down Unique. Don't scare him off. I've barely gotten to enjoy him yet." Tina giggled, "See! You are just a perverted as we are!" Blaine shrugged, "Guilty as charged."

Just then Mr. Shue walked out from his office, "Ok guys go ahead and take your seats and let's get started." Sam gave Blaine's hand one last squeeze before he stepped forward, "Mr. Shue, could I say something first?" Mr. Shue smiled and nodded, "Sure Sam. The floor is yours." Blaine gave Sam an encouraging smile as he crossed to take his seat.

Sam stepped to the center of the room and took a deep breath, "Ok. Some of you may have noticed that Brittany and I aren't together anymore. Well that's because I've realized I have feelings for someone else. Brittany and I talked yesterday and she helped me realize that I can't run from who I am. So I would like to tell you all now that...I'm gay." Everyone seemed taken aback for a second, Sam just stood there as he waited for any kind of response.

After a few more agonizing seconds Jake stood up and walked over to Sam to put his hand on his shoulder, "Dude. If it's what makes you happy then I'm cool. So who's the lucky guy?" Sam smiled and reached out his hand for Blaine, after taking a deep breath of his own Blaine stood up to go stand next to Sam, "This is him. Guys, Blaine and I are dating now." Brittany was the first to give a "Woo!" which caused the others to erupt in applause.

Mr. Shue stood up to walk over to the boys, "Guys I think I can speak on behalf of all of us that we are happy for you. And Sam I'm proud of you for being so honest with yourself." Sam smiled gratefully at Mr. Shue before he went to go down with Blaine. The rest of Glee club went off without a hitch, Mr. Shue taught them a new dance combination and they rehearsed a few potential songs for Regionals.

As class ended Sam was waiting for Blaine to get his things from the piano as Mr. Shue walked over to them, "Hey guys. I want to talk to you about something." Sam smiled, "Sure Mr. Shue. What's up?" Mr. Shue chuckled, "Well this sounds strange but I was thinking during class today about what we are missing for Regionals. I think we need a duet, I originally planned to pair Marley and Blaine but I think we would stand out a lot more if you took Marley's spot Sam."

Sam's eyes widened, "You mean, you want Blaine and I to sing a duet together?" Mr. Shue nodded, "Only if you are comfortable. I just figured since you two were together now we could use that to our advantage. I was thinking of taking one of Marley's original songs and stripping down to only acoustic. I think your guys' voices would sounds perfect." Blaine smiled at Sam, "I would love to sing with you. But only if you want to. I won't be upset if you're not ready."

Sam smiled lovingly at Blaine, 'He's the best.' "Mr. Shue. I think that's a great idea." Mr. Shue smiled widely, "Great! I already discussed it with Marley and she said she has the perfect song for you!" Sam chuckled, "So I guess you were planning on me saying yes." Mr. Shue smiled slyly, "I knew you'd do what was best for everyone." Blaine giggled as Sam shook his head, "Uh-huh. Thanks Mr. Shue." Mr. Shue nodded, "No problem. We will start working on your guys' song next class. Have a good night." Mr. Shue waved to them one final time before going back into his office and shutting the door.

Blaine threw his satchel around his shoulders and smiled when Sam took his hand again, "Ready to go?" Blaine simply nodded and they strolled back out into the hallway, they smiled sweetly at each other as they strolled down the hallway. Then out of nowhere three football jocks appeared in front of them, before they could react the three boys threw slushies in Blaine's face and shoved him up against one of the lockers and stepped in between him and Sam, "Back off faggot."

Blaine was crying and trying to wipe slushy out of his eyes, "What the fuck are you talking about?" The jock in the middle, Tanner, scoffed, "Don't pull that bullshit with us. We know you brainwashed Sam to make him think he was a fag. We like Evans, he's funny, don't fuck with him. Or we will fuck with you." The three jocks began to approach Blaine but before they could do anything Sam punched two of them in the back and the one that called Blaine a faggot right in the back of the head, they all turned to glare at Sam, "Leave him alone."

The three laughed, "Really Evans? You're going to defend him? Wow he must really have gotten to you. Nothing a little pussy couldn't fix." Sam glared at the three with a disgusted look, "What is wrong with you? Blaine never did anything to you guys." Tanner shook his head, "You don't get it do you? He's gay and exists therefore I have a problem with him." Sam scoffed, "You're disgusting. Now get out of here before I kick your ass."

The three all laughed even louder than before, "I'd like to see you try," Tanner got right in Sam's face, "Faggot." That was what did it, Sam lunged at Tanner and started wailing on him in the middle of the hallway. The other two rushed at Sam and pulled him off, Tanner got up off the floor and wiped the blood from his face, "Hold him. I'm going to enjoy this." The other two held Sam tightly as the other jock landed a punch right in Sam's gut causing him to scream out. "LEAVE HIM ALONE!"

Tanner wiped around just him time to be smacked across the face with Blaine's satchel, which since was full of all his books felt like a ton of bricks, Tanner fell to the floor giving Sam a chance to catch the other two off guard. He kicked one in the shin and punched the other in the side before rushing over to Blaine and grabbing his hand, "Come on."

Without another word Sam grabbed Blaine and sprinted to the nearest exit, as the jocks tried to follow they were met with a wall of students that had Tina and Unique at the front, "You best turn around right now." Tanner scoffed at Unique, "I'm not scared of a dude in a dress." Unique grimaced, "Well you should be because if you hurt either of those boys again I will make sure that you will shit blood for a month." The three looked at each other questioningly before nodding, "Fine. You win for now. But we won't forget this."

With that the three turned and walked away, as soon as they were gone Unique and Tina rushed out the doors they saw Sam and Blaine run out of. The rushed through the doors causing them to burst open, Sam jumped up expectantly but relaxed when he saw the girls and immediately went back to tending to Blaine who was now slushy free but was sobbing quietly into Sam's chest.

Tina sat down beside Blaine and rested her head on his shoulder, "I'm so sorry sweetie." Blaine didn't say anything as he continued to sob, Unique crossed so that she could kneel in front of Blaine and put a hand on his knee lovingly, "Sweetie, we are here. You are safe." Blaine shook his head, "This is all my fault." Sam clutched Blaine a little tighter, "Why on earth would you say that?" Blaine shrugged, "I should have never agreed to us being together. I should have known people would be like this. I'm so stupid." Unique shook her head, "No now you listen to me Blaine Anderson. You are a kind, considerate man and those guys in there were nothing but boys. They are nothing compared to you, the only reason they tear you down is because they are jealous of how fabulous you are! Don't let them take that from you." Blaine smiled sadly, "Thanks." Tina leaned over to kiss Blaine's cheek, "Every word of it is true."

Tina then reached over and took Sam's hand, "Are you ok Sam?" Sam nodded, "I'm fine, Blaine's all that matters. God I should have protected you." Unique gave Sam a small smile, "But you did. They were ready to kick the crap out of Blaine but you defended him. You're a hero in my book." Blaine nodded, "And a great boyfriend in mine." Sam chuckled lightly, "Hey you saved my ass too you know?"

Tina nodded, "You were pretty brave Blaine. That's the first time I've see you hurt anyone." Blaine shrugged, "He deserved it. Plus I couldn't let him hurt Sam." Sam kissed the top of Blaine's forehead, 'What did I do to deserve him?' "Come on, we should get you home." Blaine nodded, "Ok."

Tina and Unique walked Sam and Blaine to Blaine's car just to make sure, Blaine smiled gratefully as Tina helped him into the passenger seat, "Thank guys. I love you both." Unique smiled sweetly, "And we love you beau." Sam leaned over to look at the girls, "Why don't you guys come over to Blaine's house later? I'm staying there tonight and we could just turn it into one big slumber party. Tomorrow is Saturday so then we could wake up and go to the mall or something."

Blaine nodded, "I think that's a great idea. I need to have some fun after today." Tina smiled widely, "Well then plan on us crashing at your place tonight." Sam smiled widely, "Awesome. I'll text you guys later and we can figure it out." Unique smiled excitedly, "I finally get to see Blainey's house! I bet it looks like the castle for Beauty and the Beast." Blaine chuckled, "You guys are so weird." Tina giggled, "At least we aren't boring!" They all shared a much needed laugh before the girls waved goodbye and Sam drove them to Blaine's house.

As they drove to his house Blaine looked out the window, 'What am I doing? I shouldn't be putting him through this. I'm not even sure I can handle it.' Blaine jolted a little when he felt pressure on his hand but smiled when he looked to see Sam looking at him sweetly while caressing his hand with his thumb, "Blaine. You need to know something." Blaine took a calming breath, "Ok. What is it?" Sam closed his eyes for a moment and looked at Blaine with glassy eyes, "What happened today was awful and shouldn't have happened. But you need to know that hasn't changed how I feel about you. I'm not going anywhere."

'He...he wants to stay with me?' "Really even after, all of this?" Sam nodded and clutched Blaine's hand a little tighter, "Absolutely. Looks like you're stuck with me for the time being." Blaine felt something pull in chest, "I don't mind." Sam brought Blaine's hand up to kiss it sweetly, "Good."

The rest of the car ride was silent as both boys knew there was no turning back now, but that didn't make the road ahead any less scary. As they stepped into his house Blaine's phone began to ring, it took a moment to fish it out of his satchel so he quickly answered it, "Hello?" "Blaine. Are you ok?"

Blaine took a sharp intake of breath when he realized how the call was from, "Kurt. Yeah, I'm ok." Kurt seemed a bit frazzled on the other end, "Are you sure? Tina just called me and told me what happened. I was so worried." Blaine almost wanted to laugh, "You were worried?" Kurt sighed, "Of course Blaine. I will always be worried about you. Just because we aren't together doesn't mean I don't care about you."

Blaine nodded, "Right. Well other than a splitting headache and a bruised shoulder I'm ok. Thanks to Sam, if he hadn't been there it probably would have been a lot worse." There was a slight pause before Kurt's' response, "Yeah, Tina told me about that. So...you two are together now?" 'Shit. Thanks Tina.' "Yeah, we are." "Well that's good...I'm happy for you."

Blaine was thrown off by the tightness in Kurt's voice, "Really? You don't sound like it." Kurt was quick to reply, "No, no. I'm happy for you. It's just weird to know you're with someone else now." Blaine held his breath, "Well now you know how I felt when I found out about Adam."

There was another slight pause, "I guess I do. Listen I was thinking of coming to Lima soon and was wondering if I could come over to visit? You know, for old time's sake? I miss you Blaine." Blaine sighed, "I miss you too Kurt but it's still really hard seeing you." Blaine felt his courage grow as he felt Sam grab him from behind and whispered in his ear, "Do what you feel is right."

Blaine took a deep breath, "Alright sure. Yeah you can come for a visit." The excitement in Kurt's voice was apparent, "Awesome! I'm probably coming down mid next week so I will text you!" Blaine nodded, "Sounds great. Talk to you later Kurt." "Bye Blaine. I can't wait to see you."

Blaine hung up without saying another word, 'What the fuck was that all about?' Sam tightened his arms around Blaine, "You ok?" Blaine brough his hands down to rest over Sam's, "Yeah I'm fine. Just processing a lot." Sam nodded, "I understand. Do you want me to be here when he comes?" Blaine thought for a moment, "No. But I do want you close by in case I need you to swoop in and save me from the awkward."

Sam chuckled, "Definitely. Now come on you're still all sticky and not in the good way. Let's go take a shower and get you clean." Blaine hummed in agreement, "That sounds great." As Blaine was led up the stairs he couldn't help thinking about how weird that conversation with Kurt was, but he decided that wasn't important anymore, what was important was concentrating on Sam.

But what Blaine didn't know was that in New York Kurt was doing some thinking of his own. His conversation with Tina had made him realize how much he still cared for Blaine. And he would be lying he didn't admit that he felt a pang of jealousy when Tina told him about Sam and Blaine being together.

Kurt had thought he had wanted Blaine to move on but now that he no longer available he felt himself wondering if he had made a huge mistake. After he hung up with Blaine, Kurt was resided to the fact that he still had feelings for Blaine, and he wasn't going to share Blaine with anyone. Not if he had anything to say about it.
