blaine honest to god dislikes being proven wrong-- it gets under his skin in the most irritating ways. he prides himself in being well-versed in things a normal student wouldnât know. he wasnât expecting forest to come with a sob story, of all things. blaineâs always believed that forest must have had everything handed to him, with everyone falling off their asses to fawn over him-- just like how people treat skylar. birds of the same feather flock together, after all. still, as much as it pained him to admit, he was wrong. and now he feels like a dick, ignoring forest over a petty reason. especially now that he knows about forestâs past, and as well as with how forest seemed to have treated him on their. . . not date.Â
with that in mind, he finds himself repeating his previous actions just a week before, approaching forest just as class has ended, students milling about them, stuck in their own little problems and gossip. this time, though, heâs more genuine with his approach, a small, apologetic smile on his face as he greets forest. âhey,â he says, trying his best not to shuffle on his feet awkwardly. blaine doesnât do awkward, okay. ânice to see you all healthy and uh, happy,â he continues, internally wincing at how heâs absolutely failing his ânot awkwardâ plan. in a desperate attempt to at least salvage the situation, he lets out a forced laugh, âi forgot to tell you-- your mom was pretty nice,â he says, âi mean, i donât understand why it seemed like she was so darn happy to see me, because iâve never seen her before, but--â he exhales, as he realizes that heâs just basically stalling at this pint, âdo you want to hang out again, maybe?â he finally asks, before he ends up saying something silly. âyou can say no, i really donât mind, but well, coven bonding and everything?â
