Chapter 4
Kurt and Wes entered the choir room just as the Narnia movie let out and the boys began to file into the choir room. It was becoming surprisingly dark outside very quickly, though it was only six thirty. All of the lights were on in the choir room.
Wes took his seat at the head of the table and once more banged his gavel.
"Warblers, Attention!" he yelled. The chatty boys instantly quieted and listened. "As you know, it is tradition to play fun games at this sleepover. However," the boy began, "A new game has been proposed by our new Warbler, Kurt which I kind of like." Kurt smiled as Wes nodded to him. "Kurt, you have the floor."
Kurt walked up to the head of the room and faced the Warblers with a smile on his face. Seeing Blaine in the corner with a depressed-looking David, Kurt felt his heart flutter a little, but he began.
"When I was at McKinley, we had our own little bonding time, though it was nothing like this." Kurt paused, then continued, "While I was there, we played a game called Ditch Them at Dark, or just Ditchin' for short. Basically, it was hide and go seek at night, but you have two teams, one who seeks and the other that hides. The team that is hiding can go anywhere and can move, too. The team that seeks can also go anywhere, and when a hider is found they become part of the seekers. But no going off a set area, because that would be cheating. Whoever has the most people at the end of an hour wins."
Kurt looked at the reactions of the other boys. They obviously liked the idea, because a lot of them were whispering excitedly and looking at Wes, hoping he'd agree.
Wes smiled and then banked his gavel. "All in favor of Kurt's proposal?" he asked the room.
Every hand went up. Kurt noticed Blaine was grinning like a madman in the back of the room, raising his own hand. Kurt beamed.
Wes continued smiling as he said, "Decided. We're playing Ditchin'."
The boys in the room cheered, and Wes began to divide up the boys into the two teams as Blaine came up to Kurt.
"That was genius." Blaine said, smiling. "They'll go together and…"
"Hopefully repair their relationship. Or at least get them on speaking terms." Kurt finished.
"Yeah." Blaine said. Kurt blushed.
"Kurt? Blaine? Did you hear me?" Wes asked, "You two are both on the hiding team."
Blaine smiled. "Great."
"Ok guys! Hiding team, you have exactly one minute to hide before we come looking for you. Starting… NOW!" Wes yelled.
Half of the boys raced out the doors. Kurt was soon aware of Blaine's hand on his again for the second time that night.
"Come on! Let's hide together!" Blaine said, his eyes pleading.
Kurt laughed. "If you insist." he replied, allowing Blaine to pull him up a flight of stairs.
Then another.
And another.
"Blaine, seriously, where are we going?" asked Kurt, a little breathless.
"Attic," Blaine whispered. "They'll never find us there."
Kurt giggled as they came to a door. Blaine tried the handle, opened it, and rushed inside and dragged Kurt behind him. Letting go of the boy for an instant, Blaine turned and shut the door behind them. Turning around, Kurt noticed Blaine had a huge grin on his face. Before Kurt could move, Blaine threw his arms around him.
"Kurt? Did I ever tell you that you're brilliant?" Blaine asked.
If Kurt had been shocked by the hug, he absolutely melted under that compliment. His hands found a way around Blaine's neck and hugged him back.
"No. You should tell me more often." Kurt replied jokingly. Good brain! Smart reply!
Blaine pulled back, but didn't take his arms off of Kurt. He looked at him seriously.
"Kurt, I have to say something."
Kurt was about to reply when his phone buzzed. Inwardly cursing, he reached for it in his pocket. Blaine let him go but continued to smile at him.
Kurt pushed the green button. "Yes, Kurt Hummel speaking." he said, slightly annoyed.
"Kurt? Oh thank God you picked up." said the voice on the other end.
Kurt visibly paled. "Oh my God, Fee, what happened?"
"It… It's Kenny…" the girl replied, crying.
"I'll be there as soon as I can," Kurt replied.
"Thank you, Kurt." The girl sobbed.
"Anytime." Kurt replied, shutting off his phone.
Blaine looked, worriedly, at Kurt. "Kurt, what's going on?" he demanded.
"Blaine, seriously, it's a matter of life and death. I need to go. Please." Kurt begged, his eyes starting to fill with tears.
Blaine looked hesitant, but let Kurt go. Kurt raced down the stairs and outside, starting his car and driving as fast as was legal. He was needed.
What he didn't notice was that Blaine was driving behind him with Wes and David, all concerned as to why Kurt would drop everything because of a phone call. And, Blaine couldn't help thinking slightly jealously, a boy named Kenny.
