Kurt sighed as he pulled into the driveway after school. Mercedes had ignored him the rest of the day. He was surprised to see a black SUV parked in the drive. He smiled to himself. He knew who it was.
Suddenly he was panicking. [i]Why's he here? Right now?[/i]
After regaining his composure, he walked inside smiling. "Hey Blaine!" He said nonchalantly to the dark haired warbler sitting on the couch. Blaine's unruly curls were free from it's gel-filled prison and he was wearing Harry Potter pajamas.
"What's up Kurt?" The warbler asked.
"Well, you're here. That's what's up." he said grinning. Dalton's winter break started before Lima's did, so he was free to do whatever.
"My dad knows that you're here. Right?" Kurt asked.
"Of course! I called him to ask if I could come over to wait you out." He explained. Blaine definitely did not want to get Kurt in trouble with his dad.
"So, what are you watching?" The soprano asked, sitting next to Blaine on the couch.
"Miracle on 34th Street." He replied."Oh. That's nice." Kurt said in a tone that implied that he didn't understand a thing.
"Oh my God. Don't tell me you've never seen it Kurt!" Blaine said, "It was my favorite Christmas movie as a kid, and now."
"Well then," Kurt said, "Why don't you tell me whats so special about this movie." He suggested.
Blaine immediately started listing off reasons, "The guy who plays Santa seems like the real guy, the girl who played Matilda is in it, there's love involved, its a classic, ect. ect." He said, counting it off on his fingers.
Kurt had zoned out after Santa. There was a clock on the wall here too. [i]TickTickTickTickTickTi-[/i]
"Kurt? Hello?" Blaine was shaking him.
"What? Huh? What happened?" Kurt asked confusedly.
"Kurt, you zoned out. Is there something on your mind?" Blaine asked with worry visible all over his face.
"No, it's fine. I've been doing that a lot lately." Kurt replied.
"Okay… I was wondering if you wanted me to restart the movie or just continue from here." Blaine said, not fully letting it go. He knew that Kurt would tell him when he was good and ready.
Kurt thought for a moment before saying, "Just continue, I'll be right back." and going down to his room for a moment.
He just stood there for a couple minutes before walking upstairs, having finally made the decision in his head.
When Kurt came back up Blaine patted the place next to him on the couch for Kurt to sit on, "You going to tell me now?" He asked after Kurt had sat down.
Kurt nodded and Blaine paused the movie.
"Well, Mercedes had to bail on our plans and then we said some stuff and then she made an assumption and then I asked her something and she answered and I zoned out. After that the bell rang and I got no reply when I told her that I'd see her later." He said, taking a deep breath afterward.
Blaine thought for a moment and said, "Kurt, there's way too much you're leaving out for me to help. I need to know what happened to help."
Kurt sighed and explained everything in great detail, leaving out everything he said about Blaine.
"You know," Blaine said, "You could've called and asked if we could go some other weekend. I don't want my plans with you to get in the way of your time with Mercedes. I wasn't going to buy the tickets until tomorrow anyway."
"Oh well," Kurt said, sitting down, "What's done is done and it can't be undone."
