Hi everyone. I know i'm late with the update, but I have a genuine excuse. My laptop broke. This is the first chance I've had to update and I've had to write two other new chapters for my other stories so I'm proud that I've managed to update three stories in one day. So here's chapter two. Review, follow and enjoy!
The boy Kurt groaned as he turned over in his bed. He could feel the sunlight burning onto his eyelids and yet he desperately wished to go back into the slumber he had fallen into. His body ached painfully as he felt a burning move through his arm. He could barely remember anything... almost. He remembered staring up into a pair of large brown puppy dog eyes that gazed softly at him as he was held close to the most handsome boy he had ever seen... all after falling down the stories of the ship and saving a girl.
Just an average weird day for him.
He slowly opened his eyes and groaned softly and quietly. He felt a breeze run over his legs and looked down to realize his clothes had been changed. He was now in a pair of shorts which barely went past his knees and a tight green polo shirt. Wow... someone really needed to work on how to dress people. As he tried to sit up his vision almost blacked out as spots danced before his eyes. "Hey! Take it easy." A voice purred next to him.
He slowly looked over and locked his eyes onto the boy who had saved his life... what had his name been? Cody? "W-What happened?" Kurt slowly spoke as his voice grated out his throat. He coughed to try and clear the air way but still found that his throat was burning and dry. "Here." Cody said immediately and sat by him as he held a cup of water to Kurt's lips slowly.
Kurt watched trying to hold back a blush as the boy guided his hand to the cup. Cody's hands were warm and smooth and glided along Kurt's. Kurt coughed slightly and Cody gently pulled the cup away from the boy's lips. "How long was I out?" Kurt managed as he sat up again, this time managing it.
"Three days." Cody looked down at the floor. "I was really worried about you for a while."
"I fell." Kurt's eyes widened and Cody quickly grabbed his hands. Fear was coursing through his eyes now.
"It's okay. I caught you then you passed out." Cody kept his voice soft as he repeated it a few times, just until the boy got his bearings. "I uh." He looked down and realized he was still holding Kurt's hand. He slowly pulled them back.
What was he doing? He was with Bailey. And yet... He looked down at Kurt's eyes and managed to suppress his burning blush. This boy was... he was so beautiful. Those emerald jewel eyes that looked into him. Cody wanted to lean forward and just see what those lips were like... to know if there were soft or-
Oh god. What was he thinking?
Cody gave him a smile. "I've been keeping up on your work for you while you were... asleep." He thought saying asleep would be better than draw the boy's attention back to what had happened. The boy looked at him with wide eyes. Was he angry that he had done that? "I'm sorry." He quickly apologized. "Its just. They made me leave after the second day of staying here." The boy's mouth started to hang open slightly. Man he was digging himself into a real hole here! "So I went to your classes and got your notes for what you missed. Please don't be mad-"
"You didn't miss out on any of your class work did you?"
Cody frowned slightly.
"What?" He asked, genuinely stumped.
"You didn't miss out on any of your medical science classes did you?" It had been a while since Cody had heard someone care about him missing a class... sure yeah when Zack had been here, although the two liked to fight, Zack still made sure he kept on top of his work... but Bailey lately... If Cody missed a class, she seemed more angry than caring. "No."
Cody smiled softly. "I didn't miss much, or at least nothing that I didn't understand already... how did you know I took medical science classes?" Kurt raised and eyebrow and pointed down to Cody's chest where the boy was wearing a 'I love medical science class' badge. Oh god... how long had he been wearing that? Kurt chuckled as he noticed Cody's cheeks growing red which only made Cody blush brighter. "Don't be embarrassed. I think it's cute." Kurt shrugged.
"Your friend... Christopher was it? Told you that as soon as you feel good enough to, to go and finish that scene you were working on." Cody felt a slight burst of excitement run through him at that. Christopher had explained that they were doing Titanic... it gave Cody an opportunity to be close to the boy and see if this strange bunch of feelings he had the last three days were real or not.
Kurt rubbed the back of his neck and looked at Cody. "I've kind of put you in a difficult situation... Christopher recorded us both the other day I think." Kurt frowned slightly as he found some memories of that day were slightly misty.
"I know, he explained." Cody nodded. "I have no problem with it..." He turned his face away slightly. "That is if you don't mind doing that romance scene with a boy that is." Cody said casually as though they were talking about the weather.
"Uh yeah... why would I mind?" Kurt shrugged as he looked down at the floor to avoid blushing further.
"Yes Cody... why would he mind?"
Cody bit his lip and held back a snide comment as he watched Bailey slowly walk in the room. Her brown hair fell down the side of her face. "Though, wouldn't it probably better to use a woman in the scene instead? I mean, it probably was just a mix up, you seeing Cody on the balcony. Right? You probably looked at me but they filmed it from the wrong angle?" Bailey walked forward with a sharp smile and look in her eyes. It almost sounded more like a statement and Cody stopped himself from glaring at her. When the hell had she got so cocky? Damn London probably... He thought.
Kurt looked at the ground and nodded slowly. Cody frowned slightly. He knew they had shared a moment the other day... come to think of it. Since that day, Bailey had come to visit a lot. She'd brought flowers... offered to care for him.
Cody wasn't stupid. He could put it together. Especially with the way he was feeling. The same look she had in her eyes was the one hiding in his.
Bailey slowly pulled Kurt to his feet with her freakish strength. She straightened him out... though Cody had a feeling she couldn't truly straighten out the boy completely. He almost grinned at his thought but decided not to... Bailey could sense joy. She was a blood hound.
She smiled and pulled him out but he skidded to a stop. "What's wrong?"
"I don't know you." He shook his head. "So um... how do I put this lightly... Back the hell off."
"Hmm, bit of fire. I like that."
What the hell had happened to Bailey over the holiday!? Had she gone from genius to love dog over the manner of six weeks! This time Cody couldn't hold back his frown. "This is perfect!" A voice sounded above them.
Kurt looked up and sighed as he saw Christopher. For god's sake... as if he wasn't having enough problems already. He hadn't been awake barely ten minutes an already he wished he was back unconscious. "This is exactly what we need for the trailer! The indecisive love." Christopher sounded like some besotted fan girl! What the hell was he thinking. Kurt thought. "Oh come on Kurt!" Christopher chided as he put an arm around my shoulder. "You honestly think this won't get us an A, sleeping beauty?"
Kurt's glare burned at his dolt of a friend.
"It will get you something." He growled before walking past them. He flexed his fingers before slowly he clenched my fist, the bones in his hand making a dry cracking sound as he did. "Tell me what to do. Give my grade and let me go be by myself!" He snarled as his anger was taking a deep root inside of him.
"You don't seem very Leonardo Di Caprio calm to me." Bailey shrugged.
Kurt made a mental note to resist tackling her to the ground... though she was taller and probably could beat him to a pulp, he would still land a few scratches down first. "Kurt will be fine." Kurt slowly walked over to the railings and Cody watched as everything about the smaller boy changed. His eye's became soft and a warm smile spread across the boy's face. It was scary how the boy seemed to change and make it look so natural and real. Little did they know that Kurt was burning glares behind the mask at Bailey as she stepped forward. "Sorry darling." Christopher put a over exaggerated farmer voice on. "Can you Duh, wait till you get some duh, lines."
"Excuse me?" Her eyes burned brightly and Cody managed to sneak a glance at Kurt who gave a smug smile. "We got the frame of those two looking at each other. We're using that."
"But neither of them are gay!" She exclaimed.
"So? This is the theatre!"Christopher rolled his eyes dramatically at her and turned her around before letting his frown show when she had her back turned. He looked at Kurt with a sharp glare and mouthed. 'You didn't tell him?'
'I was going to... just not yet.' Kurt blushed brightly. 'Don't let her know. I don't trust her...'
'Aye, aye captain.' He nodded before looking back over Cody. He raised an eyebrow and Cody looked away as he blushed.
Christopher could still read it in his eyes. 'damn closet cases...' he mouthed to himself and Cody blushed even brighter.
But now Cody definitely knew what he had wanted to know.
He stood a chance with Kurt... if his feelings were real.
Christopher stepped back excitedly and sat in his director's chair. "I don't even get a hello gift?" Kurt sneaked a grin.
"Oh... you're about to get a gift off me alright... you can thank me later." Cody heard Christopher whisper. Bailey was to busy with her eyes fixed on Kurt to notice anything else that was going on. "Okay, so, you locked eyes on each other from the ship." Christopher began as he set the scene. "What was your name?" He looked at Cody.
"It's Cody."
"Okay Puppy eyes." He nodded and Cody's mouth fell open slightly.
"And you?" He looked at Bailey with distaste."
"It's Bailey. Bailey-" she began to smile but was cut off as Christopher said bluntly.
"Farm Girl." He nodded.
The smile melted off Bailey's face.
Christopher sat forward in his chair and laced his fingers. "Puppy eyes. You see Sleeping beauty-"
"I hate you." Kurt growled.
"No you don't, you love me." Christopher said quickly and rolled his eyes as he kept pace and rushed out his thoughts. "you walk over and start up a chat. You begin to get closer to Sleeping beauty. Sleeping beauty, you begin to lean in after a while of talking and then finally you... well, I'll explain that bit when we get to it but you just... " He nodded slowly and pouted his lips making both Kurt and Cody blush. "Now. Quiet on set." A gentle breeze rushed over Kurt and Cody watched as his hair blew from his eyes and the brown locks gently floated around the boy's face. "And action."
Cody suddenly became very aware that there was a camera turned on him as well as everyone else's eyes. He began to slowly walk forward nervously. How did Kurt do this so naturally? Capture a perfect build and keep your confidence to carry this on? He tried to think back to the other day. Christopher seemed to enjoy that bit of them two meeting gazes. But now he had to do it all over again. "Keep it natural." He heard Christopher's voice quietly direct him. "look out at the sea slowly then turn to Kurt." The serious tone in Christopher's voice was enough to set the nerves off in Cody. I have to do this right... for Kurt, Cody thought as Christopher pulled on some shades and nodded to him. His hands trembled slightly as he lent forward on the railing. He was very aware that Kurt was sat next to him on the railings with his legs over the safe way while the boy face the sea. I can't do this. I can't do this. Cody thought over and over.
But then Kurt turned to face him.
There was something behind the boy's eyes. Behind those empty emeralds, something that wanted to reach out. It ached to but yet the calm of the boy's face and body seemed to send the camera's and others away. "Are you okay?" Cody whispered and he watched Kurt give a slow smile and slight nod of head. "You." He paused as he tried to think. "I saw you from the balcony."
"We saw each other." Kurt spoke softly. Now it definitely felt like just the two of them. Nothing else mattered other than Cody hearing the boy's voice and looking into those soft eyes. He wished he could know why they seemed so empty. He had to stop himself from sighing and smiling as he felt Kurt reach out and placing his hand gently on Cody's face. "I know you." He whispered. Kurt's thumb gently moved over Cody's cheek. The same way Cody had done when Kurt was unconscious. Cody was fighting the urge to move forward and kiss him. "Who are you?" Cody whispered.
"Me?" Kurt smiled gently. "I'm just someone, lost on a ship of thousands. I wondered the shores of America and Europe. I was looking for you all that time." He said. His voice was like liquid light which filled Cody and warmed the boy's face to a light rose pink which shined in his cheeks. The way Kurt's smile played in the light was hypnotic. Oh god every urge in Cody told him to kiss the boy.
"You were looking for me... but you don't know me." Cody leaned into the touch more. His closed his eyes for a second as he just reveled in the touch from Kurt's hand. Their eyes were locked. They couldn't look away from each other. It was just impossible to do.
"I was looking. For love." Kurt lent in slowly. Their lips were barely a hairs width apart. "I just found it." Cody blushed just as their lips were about to touch.
"CUT!" Bailey screamed.
"NO!" Christopher roared and slammed his chair back as he stood. He threw off his shades onto the floor and even Bailey found her self going slightly pale as she looked into the pure hatred and burning gaze that Christopher branded into her.
Kurt watched as Christopher began screaming at her as he stomped his foot hard on the deck. "WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE TO RUIN MY PROJECT! DAMN IT! DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO GET A GOD DAMN MOMENT LIKE THAT PERFECT!"
"I'm sorry I-"
"GET OFF MY SET BEFORE I CHUCK YOU OVER BOARD!" Now she frowned.
"Don't Ya'll threaten me."
"Girl... I will call my sister. And have her slash the crap out of you."
"Ha! And who is your sister."
"London Tipton."
Christopher let that hang in the air as she paled like fresh snow before slowly turning and walking away. "COME BACK TOMORROW WHEN YOU DON'T RUIN MY FLIPPING SCENE!" he gave one last scream and Kurt began to fall into hysterics as he lent his head against Cody's shoulder. Before he lent back and noticed Cody still had that look in his eyes. Kurt raised an eyebrow. "They stopped filming, you can drop the act now." She jumped off the railings.
"What?"
"We only ever get chance for one shot a day." He shrugged. He looked over at Christopher as the boy stormed back flicking his crimson locks to the side as he handed Kurt a water bottle which the boy gracefully sipped and ran a few flecks of water through his hair. The sun was blistering and made Kurt's hair glisten.
Kurt slowly turned away from Cody and glared in the direction that Bailey had left. "We're out of time for today." Christopher sighed. "We got the action shots while you were-"
"Asleep" Kurt stated not wanting to hear what had really happened to him.
"Yeah... we just need the two kissing scenes and that's it."
"Two kissing scenes?" Cody frowned slightly.
"Yeah... Wouldn't be Titanic without the choices between two loves. Now that farm girl ruined the first shot we will have to do both tomorrow." He sighed. "I'll book us another day. But anyway until then. You two go and talk and get to know each other. It helps on screen if you have some connection behind the camera." Christopher pinched the bridge of his nose and began to shout at the others to get the equipment away quickly and to have them in the class room in five minutes.
Kurt looked back over at Cody who looked at the floor in... was it him or did Cody seem disappointed? Did Cody not want to kiss him?
He shook his head slightly. "Well orders are orders." Kurt nodded. "So... Tell me about yourself." Both boy's began to walk off down the side of the ship.
But not before Christopher watched them. "I'll get you both together... even if it kills me." He grinned and turned before walking away.
