hunter.

Hunter wasn’t very good with people. Anyone who got in a ten foot radius of him would know that. His actions && behavior was that of an animal. He wanted to be king so badly, he became more lion than man. His goals were set, his mind made up, the only thing in the world that mattered was himself. Maybe one day reality would come back to him && he’d learn how to be like everybody else, how to treat everybody else. Unfortunately that day wasn’t anywhere in sight. The first order of business was apparently Blaine’s life. He wanted to make sure Hunter didn’t meddle, and luckily for him, he didn’t want to. He couldn’t be bothered with idle things such as Blaine’s old friends in the New Directions. He had a team to focus on right here. Next order of business, the real reason Hunter bothered himself with their little coffee run. Even though now he had an even stronger distaste for the male, && the idea of coffee with him seemed excruciating. There was a fine line between agreement, && overstepping. This was the latter. All he had to do was say yes and move on. Seemed the on again off again Warbler wasn’t as guilt free from drama as he seemed. It would be far to easy to fall into old habits. To start a fight, and likely win. With his training there weren’t many fights he could lose. Not to mention Blaine didn’t look like the toughest trouper. If he gave in to the anger, where would that leave him? Beating up one of the most loved and respected males on their team, would be show choir suicide. “Seems I’ve caught you on a bad day, Blaine. What a shame. If you’d like, we can call off today’s coffee break. I’d be happy to take a rain check. Until you’re ready to set aside your differences, and play nice with me.” Before he could even get his answer he started walking again. “It’s a two way street, Blaine. Can’t be the voice of reason with such a strong bias against me. I hope to see more from you. Maybe we’ll duet about it.” He turned back to give the other a teasing sappy look. “Oh, && I think we’re crystal clear.”

Hunter’s nerve managed–yet ain–to outdo itself at the exact moment where he pinned that it had to be at the pinnacle of it’s existence.  However. Hunter continued to show he had a limitless supply of gull, bravado and general ability to make Blaine feel like he had something stuck under a fingernail.  No.  Wait.  Fingernails.  Like–all of them.  Before making the decision to come back to Dalton–Blaine had lengthy conversations with Sebastian about the boy currently questioning everything from his intentions to his integrity. He promised Sebastian that he would do what he always did–try to let bygones be bygones and approach this as the possibility to see Hunter in a different light.  Maybe even become friends with a little work on his part to like the guy.  Here we are.  Day One and already Blaine was doubting he could ever pull off what was now looking like an utter miracle act of divine intervention in getting him to make good on that promise.  All that without knowing that Hunter was measuring how the both of them would turn out if they got into a fistfight and sorely underestimating him.  Which would have been fine in Blaine’s book.  As well as a relief that Hunter–apparently–wasn’t tuned into one very locked down secret that Blaine left in his wake at Dalton Academy.  His brows lifted and he blinked–arms crossed in front of his chest.  Blaine hummed and nodded his understanding with a purse of his lips in a thoughtful frown.  “Thing is–your two way street?  That’s all on you to keep open.  I’m not the one who initiated this conversation and took it in the direction you did.”  Turning on his heel–the look he gave Hunter was nothing short of ‘this is all you buddy’ what he offered without a backwards glance as he walked away was either an olive branch–or his response to that sappy look that was only another taunt.  “I’ll make sure to pick a song for us to sing tomorrow,” he paused and turned far enough to give Hunter a polite smile. “The guys will love it.  See you at practice.”  Now where was he?  Oh! Going to look for Sebastian, Trent, Nick and Jeff.  And off he went to find them..
