Are We Damned? ~ Glee

Queen Mab

TW: Drug use and overdose, suicide

The show went very well. Both Kurt and Blaine put on a convincing performance. The only issue was the breakup scenes. They were able to get through them, but not without a few very real tears. 

After the show, as soon as he stepped offstage, Blaine broke down in tears. "Everyone back off," Santana said. "I'll take care of him." She wrapped an arm around Blaine's shoulder and led him out into the hall. "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing," Blaine replied, drying his eyes. "Can you take me into the lobby? I want to see if Cooper's here."

"Yeah, sure." She led him out into the lobby and stayed with him as he looked around for Cooper, leaving when he finally found him.

"Hey, squirt!" Cooper said, pulling Blaine into a hug. "You did great out there. But I do have a few criticisms..."

Blaine sighed. "Coop..."

"I'm kidding! Hey, are you okay? You look like you were crying."

"Just the emotions of the show ending, I guess."

"Ah, I get what you mean... Are you guys doing anything, at least?"

"Yeah, there's a cast party at Rachel's. It's starting soon."

"I'll drive you. Come on." Cooper brought Blaine out to the car and followed Blaine's directions to Rachel's. "Don't do anything stupid, and don't stay out too late. Text me when you're ready to leave. And if any of your friends need a ride, let me know." 

"You sound like a dad," Blaine said, getting out of the car. "I'll be fine. Goodbye, Coop."

"Bye, squirt." Cooper watched as Blaine went inside, then drove away once he got in. 

When Blaine arrived at the cast party, he immediately locked himself in the bathroom. He took out the bags Puck had given him earlier. He didn't have any alcohol, so he hoped water would work. He emptied out each bag into a cup of water, swirled it around a bit to mix it, then drank all of it before joining everyone else.

For a while, Blaine sat on the couch with his head on Kurt's shoulder, not saying a word. He didn't feel anything yet. Then that feeling started to take over again, only more intense this time. Euphoria like he'd never felt before, but at the same time, a level of relaxation he never knew he could reach. He closed his eyes and smiled.

Kurt looked over at Blaine. "Tired?"

"No... Calm." He opened his eyes and looked up at Kurt. "Kiss me." 

"Oh, okay..." He quickly kissed Blaine on the cheek.

"No, not like that..." Blaine pulled Kurt on top of him and kissed him deeply. 

Kurt eventually managed to pull away and sit up. "Not now, okay?"

"Why not? Aren't you the one who wanted to be more open?"

"Yes, but... Not that open."

"Sorry," Blaine said quietly. He moved a bit closer to Kurt and leaned against him. 

"Someone's clingy today," Kurt said, putting an arm around Blaine.

"Is it me?"

"Yes, it is. That's okay though." 

"I'm sorry for being clingy. I just love you." 

"I love you too. And I said it's okay." 

Puck looked over at Kurt and Blaine. He knew what was going on, that Blaine had taken some of the GHB. He knew what this could lead to, and had to explain everything. "Kurt, can you come here a sec?"

"Yeah, sure! Sorry, Blaine. Just give me a second." He managed to get Blaine off and went over to Puck. "What do you need?" Blaine was now leaning against Sam instead.

"It's Blaine. I just thought you should know... He's high. On GHB," Puck said, a bit worried Kurt would be mad. "I gave it to him a few days ago. He's fine, don't worry. But he... He might be euphoric... Relaxed... Kind of...sexual..."

"I'll deal with it," Kurt said, sighing. He wasn't too thrilled about it, but there was nothing he could do about it. 

"Blaine, are you okay?" Sam asked. "Kurt, come here!"

Kurt ran over. "What's going on?"

"I don't know," Sam replied. "He was sitting up, then he just...fell over, and I thought he was laying down, but... I don't think so. Then I helped him sit back up, and he did it again... I think something's wrong. Really wrong."
