A/N: Hello! Sorry for the delay, but here's a new chapter!
The Titanic angled dangerously upwards, people running like a wave towards the ill-fated boat's stern in order to avoid being washed away by the waves. All seemed lost for the passengers who'd been unfortunate enough to miss the badly-handled life boat distribution.
Back outside of the TV screen, Blaine and Kurt hugged each other in the darkness of Kurt's living room, tears streaming freely from both of their eyes. Distraught, Kurt reached in front of him to fumble for the remote on the coffee table. As his shaking hands finally found the "pause" button, Blaine's hand had found the switch on the lamp to turn the lights on. The image of the badly-tilted Titanic was frozen on the screen.
Blaine looked over to Kurt in confusion, though the emotion quickly turned to concern when he saw that his boyfriend was as white as a ghost. "What's wrong?"
Kurt took a moment to gently seat the remote back on the wood surface of the table. "The movie's bothering me."
"Any aspect in particular?"
Kurt turned back towards Blaine, attempting to wipe his eyes dry with the back of his hand. That didn't exactly work, because the tears were still coming. "I think there's a reason I never saw this movie as a child," he finally said.
"Ah," Blaine said. "Yeah, that's why I didn't see it until a year ago."
"And you volunteered to watch it again for my sake?" Kurt was horrified. "Once seems bad enough. I can't even get through it once. All of the sad, helpless people...how can you watch that more than once?"
Blaine put a comforting hand on Kurt's shoulder. "You're babbling."
"Am I?" He ran a hand through his already perfectly-styled hair. (You don't settle for less than perfect on a date, after all.)
"Yes." Blaine picked up the remote Kurt had so carefully set down. "Now, do you want me to turn it off?"
Kurt nodded vigorously. "We already know how it ends! Why in the name of all that is happy did James Cameron decide to torture us through that thing?"
As he pressed the "off" button, Blaine glanced over at his boyfriend. "Aren't you just a bit curious to see how they died?"
"No! That's another thing! He tries to get people caught up in morbid fascination of the story, making them almost physically incapable of turning away, no matter how hard they try." Kurt felt a bit better as he explained his feelings. Finding solace in words was a handy tool.
"And you're a stronger person than I for being able to resist James Cameron's evil story-telling clutches."
Kurt just sniffed, raising an eyebrow at the older boy. "Hey, you cried too."
"The engineer and the captain going down with the ship? The innocent people and children dying? That bastard of a fiancé getting away? Hell yeah, I cried. "
"So...I kind of need cheering up after all of that. Even though we didn't even finish watching it."
Blaine had an idea. "Up for re-watching Harry Potter again?"
"As long as it's not the sixth one, I'm in."
After Blaine switched out the disk, the Harry Potter music began playing. "Much better," Kurt sighed happily, leaning into Blaine's shoulder.
"Don't you want to know which movie I put in?"
"I guess," Kurt said distractedly.
Blaine had a positively evil grin on his face as he turned the light out once more. "The seventh. Part one."
Aghast, Kurt shoved Blaine away from him, nearly sending him flying into the floor. "You wouldn't! You know I haven't finished reading it yet!"
Blaine's teeth were highlighted by the glowing TV screen as he grinned. "You'd better read quickly, then, because the movie's starting in a few minutes."
Kurt did the only thing he could think of. He took the pillow that leaned against the arm of the couch, and whacked his boyfriend as hard as he physically could. This time, Blaine did go flying.
On the floor, he still had the same grin on his face, and now vaguely-evil laughter was adding to Kurt's annoyance. "I was kidding, Kurt. I put in the first one." Groaning slightly and clutching his side, he pushed himself to his feet. "Come on, how could I put the seventh one in there? You don't even own it yet."
"...Oops."
