( text ): i’m sure u would do the same for me.
( text ): that’s what friends do.
his gaze dropped down to the screen of his phone as he read Blaine’s incoming text, fingers swiping across it as he gathered his keys to leave, typing as he did so. He hit send before exiting his house, finger on the button of the keypad to unlock his car. He was worried, but thankful Blaine trusted him enough to text him in his time of need. Regardless of what had happened between his brother and Blaine, Blaine was still Finn’s friend and he’d do his best to keep it that way. As he got in the car, adjusted the seat so he wasn’t sitting too close to the wheel and buckled his seat belt, he glanced at his phone once more before he finally stuck the key in the ignition- waiting to be turned.
( text ): don’t worry, i’ll keep it between us.
( text ): i’m about to start driving so just stay put.
( text ): i’m glad ur alright.
after he sent the last slew of messages, he set his phone in the cup holder and turned the key; the car coming to life. he reversed quickly as he began driving toward the road, his nerves on edge. the grasp he held the wheel with tight, his knuckles white. he knew little of the bar Blaine was at, only that it was primarily for Gays, but he was sure with a little help he’d find it. As he stopped at a light, he figured it was the perfect time to pull up the address, propping his phone in the holder so he could make out the street name. His foot remained semi heavy on the gas as he drove, but not enough to warrant a speeding ticket and he made sure to use proper signals as he shifted lanes. A few miles later, he spotted the lights coming from the bar and he pulled into its parking lot, driving to the front. Distinctly he could make out Blaine’s figure and he sighed in relief as he pulled the car to the curb, parking before he got out and approached where Blaine sat waiting for him. “ hey, man. let’s get you home. ‘ he bent down ready for Blaine to drape his arm over his shoulder so he could help him walk to the car.

The fresh air felt like it was doing him some good. Blaine breathed the crispness in and let it go with a sigh, eyes daring to open and stare towards one of the cheap florescent lights up for focus. This whole drinking business was always great in theory. Always a good idea when you first start and, so far, it wasn’t too terrible after he cut himself off. Here was to hoping tomorrow morning didn’t dump him on the suffering side of regret. His phone chimed in his hand and he craned his neck enough to gaze down at the screen.
Relief washed in when Finn promised to keep tonight between the two of them. Asking him to keep a secret from Kurt wasn’t fair. Or the right thing to do. But he didn’t want to make an already messy situation even worse. To say Kurt would be less than thrilled of his current life choices was the understatement of the millennium. Both of them knew that. Once he fixed things–he’d probably end up telling Kurt anyway because that’s how he was wired. Just..after he fixed things was the key phrase. He typed out his thank you before his head bobbed forward and he drifted off into a light sleep
Finn’s voice drew Blaine’s eyes back open. Thank God. His neck already had a heck of a cramp and his legs weren’t much happier after spending so long in such an awkward position. And if he was going to pass out, he’d prefer to do it in bed. One arm wrapped around Finn’s shoulder and held on as he helped him to his feet. “You are such a good person, Finn,” Blaine patted his chest with his free hand before he flounced down in the passenger seat then shot one of those drunken-serious stares up at Finn before he could shut the door. “I’m so lucky for you. You know that…don’t you?”
