Chapter 8

                                    

                                          
A loud silence descended upon the room. Everyone was waiting to hear what one of the boys in question would say to that.
                          
But, of course, Nick couldn't handle terse pauses. "I still don't know what a dolphin is!"
                          
Jeff tsked, turning to Nick and saying, "Dolphins are water mammals that are closely related to whales and porpoises-"
                          
Nick cut him off. "I meant why she kept calling them dolphins!"
                          
Brittany giggled, like she knew something they didn't. All eyes turned to her. "Didn't you know dolphins are just gay sharks?"
                          
Silence fell once more.
                          
"What did she mean by-?" Wes began to question.
                          
It was Kurt's turn to interrupt. "I love her, but even I don't understand what she's saying sometimes. It's best to just roll with it." 
                          
Kurt was blushing and tactfully avoiding Blaine's eyes. He was sure he would be able to see right through him.
                          
"But right before you were-" Trent started suspiciously.
                          
There were a lot of interruptions today, weren't there? "Let's keep the party moving!" Santana burst out. 
                          
"I is getting bored. And when I is bored, bad things happen."
                          
The Warblers looked scared and tried to hide behind Kurt. He even heard Thad mutter, "He may be a ninja, but is he even a match for Satan?"
                          
Kurt was thankful for the diversion of attention. He knew he was in love with Blaine; how couldn't he? 
                          
But he didn't know Brit knew, and he definitely wasn't expecting her to announce it to an entire room, including said person.
                          
He wasn't sure if Blaine caught on. If he did, he wasn't saying anything.
                          
Kurt wasn't sure if that was good or bad.
                          
Blaine, for the third time that night, wasn't sure what to think.
                          
From what Blaine could gather (and infer), Kurt not only liked him, but had enough confidence in this attraction to tell other people about it.
                          
Brittany basically told the entire room that Kurt liked him. But he was now avoiding the subject. What was wrong? Did he not want Blaine to know?
                          
Did he not know how Blaine felt back?
                          
Mercedes repressed the urge to go up to her white boy and strangle him. Here he had the perfect opportunity to tell him-and he goes and lets it pass!
                          
He's been complaining to Mercedes about how horrible it all was because he had an unrequited love (that was so obviously requited that she wanted to shove their faces together) and how much he just loved his hair, his eyes, his smile, his voice...
                          
He was totally lovesick. They needed to get a move on.
                          
The sexual tension between those two was so thick it was tangible. 
                          
Santana thought they should just do what she always did: don't not put out.
                          
If they had gotten their mack on right from the get-go, everyone would have been so much happier. 
                          
The sex eyes and shameless flirting and conspicuous inconspicuous staring could all have been avoided.
                          
She had a plan. It would work; she was Santana freakin' Lopez. She could do anything.
                          
It was so very obvious that the two boys held an attraction to each other. Now it was just the notion of getting them to realize the other's feelings.
