Chapter 4, Day three on the road
In the morning Blaine awoke at the sunrise coming in through the window. He looked down to see Kurt holding onto him, and Blaine realized that he was holding onto Kurt too. Blaine smiled. He tried to commit to memory the image of Kurt sleeping. The image of Kurt snuggled into his chest. The feeling of Kurt's warm body against his own. Blaine looked at the other bed; Noah was nowhere to be seen. Blaine lightly touched Kurt's hair. His face. His neck. Kurt gave a small shiver and smiled. Blaine reached his hand away quickly and pretended to be asleep. Kurt looked up at Blaine. Kurt realized how snuggly he was being with Blaine. He thought how embarrassing it would be if Blaine woke up and saw him like this. So he moved off of Blaine. He didn't want to, he left their hands linked even after he had moved. Blaine pretended to wake up. He looked over at Kurt. "Oh. Good morning." he smiled dreamily. "Good morning Blaine." Kurt replied just as dreamily. "What time is it?" Blaine asked. Kurt replied, standing up, "I don't know." when their hands loosened from the other they both felt a small loss. They both felt like a little weight that had been anchoring them to the ground was lifted and they both could float away at any moment, not in the good way. Kurt sat back down, the feeling had been so intense. "Are you okay?" Blaine said, sitting up. Kurt held his head, "Yea, I'm okay." he stood back up again and went around the room. "It's 7:25." Blaine laid back on the bed some. "I'm going to shower." he said. He went to his duffle bag of clothes and arranged an outfit. Blaine laughed, "What are w-you doing today that involves so much prep work?" he asked, commenting on how long it took to pick an outfit. Kurt looked at him, "Well, I just have to make sure that my outfit matches my mood. Among other things." he smiled and swooped up his outfit. He walked towards the restroom. "I'm going to go see if the others are awake yet." Blaine announced. "Okay." Kurt said and walked into the restroom. Blaine searched the room for a keycard. "Damn it." he said. Noah must have not left them a key card. That was as good as locking them in. Blaine walked to his bag and picked an outfit for to wear that day. Suddenly he heard a soft singing over the patter of water in the shower. The soft lyrics to Unattainable by Little Joy were sung by Kurt. Blaine sat down on the bed, listening.
"Only when the gold is unattainable do I start to feel like I'm losing myself. And this deep secret that hasn't come out yet is buried down deep, with the rest. I can't course you into this one. Jealousy lay all your spells to bed. I'll choose unloved instead. If only songs were sung to guide the doubtful ones beyond the rough when not as much is good enough. Oh if you find yourself amongst the lonely ones, I will be waiting here with open arms. I can't course you into this one. Jealousy lay all your spells to bed I'll choose unloved instead."
Blaine sat on the bed dumbfounded by the sheer intensity of Kurt's words. In the shower Kurt had tears coming down his face. He wasn't sure why though. The song popped into his head and came out his mouth. He thought about the lyrics; he could relate to them. He wiped his eyes and turned the water off. He laughed at himself for crying, why did he anyway? He supposed that the lyrics were just really emotional. Blaine hastened out of the room, trying to find another restroom to ease his frustratingly hard pants. He couldn't have cooled down in the bedroom because he would have been in there with Kurt who had just stepped out of the shower, wet. Blaine stopped torturing himself with images of a wet Kurt, it was making him harder. Blaine quickened his pace. He walked to his bandmates room. He knocked on the door which was opened by David, "Dave! Can I use y'alls restroom? Kurt's taking a shower." David couldn't help but notice that Blaine was hard. He had four years of experience with Blaine. "Yea sure go on." he said and Blaine ran to the bathroom. David laughed and walked to Wes. "Dude Kurt has Blaine in his grasp." "What do you mean?" Wes asked, looking up from his breakfast. David looked at Wes, "Just think about it dude, Blaine just came over here to use our bathroom. Why would he do that if he didn't want Kurt to see something?" Wes's face lightened with knowledge, "Oh. It's like, oh. Okay." he laughed. Blaine came out of the bathroom, calmer than he had been. "Having fun over there Blaine? You looked pretty excited." Jeff called, having overheard what his two friends said. Blaine turned around, his face redder than a cherry, "Nothing is going on however much you two insist there is!" Wes eyed him, "You sure about that Blaine?" he smirked. Blaine glared, embarrassed, at his friends. "Good day to you." he turned to leave then turned back on an afterthought, "Do you know where Noah is?" The Birds all shook their heads. "Why?" David said. "He has all of our keycards." Blaine said and left the room. The birds all laughed. "Thanks guys!" Noah said, coming out from behind the bed. "I just really wanted the two of them to get together instead of flirting like mad over there. I made them sleep together, and when I woke up they were cuddling. Cuddling." Noah laughed, "I know when my boy Kurt is in like with a guy, I've seen it once before. Man he falls when he falls, but he will never confess." Wes was intrigued, "He was only ever in love once before in high school?" Noah nodded, "As far as I could tell yea." David and Wes looked at each other, then David turned to Noah and asked, "And what would this boys name be?" Noah was perplexed but he obliged, "Jesse St. James. Why?" Wes looked at Noah, "Scoping out the competition for Blaine, duh." Wes went to the computer. "His records have gotta be online somewhere." While Wes and David were looking at Jesse St. James, Jeff decided to go check on how Kurt and Blaine were getting along. He walked down the hall quietly. He saw Blaine standing in the hall laughing. He ducked into a doorway and watched what was going on. "Kuurt!" Blaine whined. There was laughter coming from the other side of the doorway. Kurt yelled, "You didn't get a keycard from Noah! Well maybe I don't feel like getting up." the tv came on. Blaine laughed and banged his head on the door, "Come on Kurt! Just let me in!" "Nooope!" more laughter. "Come on! I won't bug you I swear! I just want shoes! And clothes that aren't pajamas!" "Well then why did you leave the room without shoes or clothes?" Kurt said and found Blaine's shoes. He put one on his foot but it wouldn't fit because it was too small. Kurt checked the size, "Oh my god Blaine, you have tiny feet!" he yelled. "Are you looking at my shoes? Why are you looking at my shoes!? Put my shoes down!" Blaine said and banged on the door. "No! It's only the right one! Besides, I quite like your shoes, I might keep them." Kurt laughed quietly, finding the moment of keeping Blaine out of the room hilarious. Blaine beat on the door and laughed, "No! I need them! Besides, you said they were too small!" Kurt thought for a moment, "I never said they were too small, I just said they were small! And I might want to keep them as a trophy." Blaine laughed hysterically, "I'm going to go get a keycard from Noah if you don't let me in." Kurt sighed, getting slightly annoyed from Blaine's easy-way-out threat. "No fair." he said and unlocked the door. Blaine had been leaning on the door and he fell in when it opened. Right into Kurt's unsuspecting arms. "Oh, sorry!" Blaine said and hastily stood up. The feeling of grounding gained and lost at the touch and the removal. Blaine looked at Kurt. Jeff watched the two enter the room without a word and then close the door behind them. Jeff was curious at what he just witnessed. Jeff went back to his room, leaving the doorway quiet. In the room Blaine picked up his outfit he had laid out earlier and went to the restroom. Kurt's eyes followed Blaine as he went. Blaine came out of the bathroom fully clothed and laid down on Noah's bed. He pretended to read a book he had but said, "You have a beautiful voice by the way." he hummed Unattainable quietly. Kurt's face went red for a moment, "You heard me? I thought you left to go … I don't know, find Noah or something." Blaine shook his head, "No. Well, I did, but I heard you sing first." Kurt nodded and flipped through channels. "So are we leaving today to go to the next location or tomorrow. I vote on today if anyone's wondering." "Yea, I think we're leaving today. At twelve or so." Blaine lowered his book, "We'll check out sometime before twelve then kinda be on the road, ambling along from then." Blaine smiled at Kurt and Kurt smiled back. Kurt looked at the television and flipped around the channels.
