Blaine Anderson

Blaine exhaled shakily as he listened to Nick - he was nervous, no doubt, but he wanted to experience being intimate, and even more so with the person he’d come to love. “I-I don’t want to risk getting caught,” he whispered, blushing deeply. “W-We can touch.. a-and stuff.. but tonight.. I want to.. Do.. everything,” he stammered, closing his eyes.

Pulling away when the other did, Blaine nodded slightly. “O-Okay.. I want to.. but I’ve never actually.. been with someone else.. like this..”

Blaine walked into the cabin and looked around, tilting his head slightly before moving over his pillow to Nick’s bed. Looking over to the older male when he spoke, Blaine couldn’t help the small smile that formed on his lips before they connected with Nick’s. Reaching up to hold onto Nick’s arms, the brunette moaned softly into the kiss, never wanting the feeling to in. “Fuck,” he mumbled softly after pulling away just enough to catch his breath. “Nick..”

Blaine shrugged, looking up to Nick with a soft smile. “I won’t, he usually throws me in iso within the first five minutes anyways. You don’t have to beat him up for me,” he replied, “I’ll be fine, as long as Cooper doesn’t get me.” The curly haired male nodded slightly, reaching out to open the door to their cabin and stepped in. “This place doesn’t seem quite as dreary now that it’s our little safe haven..”

“She really is, I’m surprised Cooper even hired her after I begged him to,” Blaine chuckled, walking alongside Nick on the way to their cabin, sliding his hands in his pockets so he didn’t try to hold the elder male’s hands. “I’m sure I’ll be switched to Dom for my one-on-ones in a few months, it never fails to happen around my birthday. I’m just happy he hadn’t hired anyone new this year, while surprising, I’m grateful for it.” Looking around as they walked, the male smiled as he noticed all of their friends, people he had known for years and the few select newbies that found cliques for safety. “Yours? Mine is probably a shittier bed than yours, there hasn’t been new mattresses in years..”

Wrapping his arms around Nick, Blaine smiled softly at the kisses and nodded slightly. “Come with me to my food plan meeting with her and we can tell her then?” he suggested, shrugging and lacing his fingers with his boyfriend’s. “Good thing it’s only a short walk... we have about a half hour before I have my one-on-one with Lucas. Hopefully he goes easy on me this time around,” the male sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. Meetings with Lucas weren’t too bad, not until last meeting last year when he tried to fight back and ended up with head injuries. “Can we lay together once we get in the cabin?”

Turning to face the younger male properly at his words, Nick slowly reached out and took Blaine’s hand in his, “Pretty much the fact that I’ve been completely in love with you for the past two years, and I haven’t been able to tell you for so long because I’m terrified that you don’t feel the same way..” Nick’s eyes widened when he realised that he’d said that out loud as opposed to in his head as he intended, “Shit.. I was supposed to say it better than that.” He sighed, taking a breath before continuing anyway, “Look… Before you say anything, I don’t expect anything from you, you can ask me to move cabins or whatever if you need me to but I couldn’t keep lying to myself every day.” Nikolaos finally stopped talking and looked up from where his eyes had been fixed on their hands between them, “Please say something..”

Letting Nick take his hand, Blaine couldn’t help but notice how comfortable the small motion was; they had never done it before and yet it felt like it was a normal thing for them. He looked up when Nick started to speak again, only to blush deeply at his words. Had they really had the same emotions for that long, and were too afraid and stubborn to admit them? Noticing that the other’s eyes had gone to their hands, Blaine gave a gentle squeeze before laughing softly and shaking his head. “I would never ask you to move out, if anything I’d ask you to move over to my bed.. How in the world are we both so terrified of the same thing? Nikolaos, I’m completely in love with you too.”

The older male leant back on his hands as he watched Blaine, tongue darting out to wet his lips nervously; he’d never been very good at admitting his feelings to himself let alone anyone else. Blaine had known him for two years now, they knew everything there was to know about one another and yet there was still this one thing hanging between them and Nikolaos knew that if he didn’t say something soon, he wouldn’t be able to keep his big mouth shut without blurting his feelings to the wrong person.

The male hummed happily as he looked at the lake, it had been a while they had a relaxing moment aside from bed time, and it was never something he took for granted. He always admired Nick as well, to the point of liking him more than a friend but it was frustrating with how much he had to hide it for fear of either Cooper finding out or the older male not feeling the same. He turned back to his best friend, only to blush and chuckle when he noticed Nikolaos watching him. “Nicky,” he whined with a slight smile - he only used that nickname when teasing. “What are you thinking of?”

Once the two males reached the preferred spot, just out of view of the counsellor’s cabin and sat himself down, placing the food next to him and patting the ground next to him, “I thought you could do with a little time out, we’ve got nothing scheduled for the next hour or so and… Well I thought you could do with some real food.”

Stretching his legs after sitting down beside his cabin mate, the curly haired male smiled at the view in front of them. “One of the few things I actually love about this place,” he murmured before turning towards Nikolaos, his smile growing at the sight of the sandwiches. “Whoa, really?” he asked, picking up the food to inspect it. “Cooper’s going to have me on a crazy diet again - probably worse than last year but I need to see Brook to get all the details. But shit, this is much better than any of that.” Taking a bite into the sandwich, Blaine couldn’t help but moan softly at the taste. It had been forever since he ate something that wasn’t undercooked and barely passable on the health code, and it made his heart sing. “What do you have this afternoon? Cooper mentioned something about physical activities and group therapy, but I wasn’t really paying attention.”

Snapping his book shut, he got to his feet and collected the sandwiches and snacks that he’d managed to steal from the kitchens while the counsellors were in their weekly meeting and swept his eyes across the cabin before letting himself out and locking the door behind him. Nick strode across the grounds, going around the back of Coopers cabin so as not to be seen, and waited just down the side of the wooden building for Blaine to appear and head towards him.

Nodding again and leaving the cabin, the teenager sighed and ran his fingers through his hair, only to smile when he noticed his cabin mate. “Hey, you look like you’ve got a plan,” he chuckled.

No worries, I like to know that you’re good.. Hey, I just came up with a plan. You get out of your meeting with Cooper in one piece, I’ve got a surprise for you.

Thanks, Nick. Really. Oh fuck, your plans usually involve something illegal - but I’m up for a change. I’ll try my best to get out of Cooper’s office alive, no promises though. You know how he likes to use me as an example.

Don’t get yourself in trouble for me, I’ll just steal a few bandages and make do. It’s not worth it, you don’t even know me. You mean the nurse isn’t in on the crazy? Why’s she here then, seems like a dumb job to take..

Seriously, it’s no problem. All the campers like to look out for each other here, keeps up sane and like we’ve got a friend that’ll stay with us for a while. Nurse B.. Well, honestly I think Mr. Anderson hired her because she’s pretty, but she’s really great at her job. Plus, the salaries here are crazy, they make almost as much as lawyers do. She sees us as people and sees the good in us, unlike all the other workers here.
