Klaine Princess Diaries interlude 1
On Wednesday morning, Mercedes waited by the door of her English class until the bell rang; Kurt didn’t show up. She checked her phone as she sat down, just in case, but there was no text. And after he’d cut their call short the previous afternoon, and then ignored her calls to find out what was wrong… she sighed, putting her phone back in her bag.
She’d liked Blaine well enough when he was at Dalton. She’d liked him a bit less when Kurt went to Dalton. But he’d sung a beautiful goodbye when Kurt came home, and she’d hoped -
“Mercedes?” Mrs. Quincy said. “What was Jane’s motivation in chapter sixteen?”
Pulling an answer out of her ass, Mercedes quickly shut down all thoughts of Blaine Anderson.
.
Kurt never showed up at school. Tina mentioned it at lunch, but there was some new drama between Rachel, Quinn, Santana, and Finn (and Puck egging it on), so her concerns about Kurt and Blaine were pushed aside. As they cleared up their trash, though, Finn did mention that Kurt had been acting oddly last night. He immediately got distracted by Karofsky walking too close or something (even though Karofsky seemed to have figured himself out and decided to help Lauren and Puck continue the Bully-Whips), and stormed off before finishing.
Mercedes sighed.
.
Sitting in History without Kurt was supremely boring. He knew just how to wind up Mrs. Weinstein. But he was still ignoring her texts, and it was starting to piss her off.
Of course he didn’t show up to glee practice either, and when she muttered about Blaine stealing him, Finn ran with it, until finally Mr. Schue had to bring him back on topic.
But, really - Mercedes was so tired of Blaine taking up all of Kurt’s time. Their last three plans were all interrupted or dropped completely, and Kurt didn’t have the excuse of never seeing Blaine to use anymore.
She missed her best friend, and yes, she felt guilty for failing so bad last year. But how could she ever make up for that if Kurt kept ditching her for his boyfriend?
“C’mon, guys!” Mr. Schue said. “We need to get this next verse - it’ll be killer at sectionals.”
And once again, thoughts about how annoying Kurt’s boyfriend was had distracted her. She firmly pushed her gripes away and focused.
.
On Thursday, Mercedes refused to speak to Kurt. She turned her head away when he walked up to her in the halls; after a moment, he sighed, muttered, “Fine,” and walked into class.
She watched him then followed, choosing a different desk than her usual next to him. He sighed heavily, pulled out Jane Eyre, and proceeded to ignore her for the rest of class.
She ignored him, too.
.
Lunch was uncomfortable, but Brittany chattered at Kurt about cats, Mike added a few comments on breeds, and Blaine ate silently next to him. Mercedes talked to Tina, who glanced between her and Kurt a few times, but didn’t ask, thankfully.
Finn glared at Blaine most of the time, but Blaine didn’t seem to notice.
.
At glee, Blaine stumbled over the lyrics a little bit. Mercedes felt a tiny thrill, and Finn ribbed Blaine a little, but Sam asked if they could run through it again. “I think I messed up,” he said, and Mercedes grabbed his hand so she could squeeze it. “You sounded awesome, baby,” she told him. He grinned at her.
Damn, but her boy was sweet.
(At the end of practice, Kurt and Blaine left without saying goodbye.)
