Christmas Day
Kurt woke up on Christmas Day with the biggest smile on his face, he loved this holiday. It was and has always been his favourite time of the year.
He knew this year was going to be different because Finn and Carole were now here but he was looking forward to it. It would be a good sort of different.
He quickly climbed out of bed and had a quick glance at his clock, wow. 6am. He woke up early. He put on his slippers, grabbed his phone and made his way downstairs. As he walked he sent Blaine a quick text, not expecting a reply.
'Merry Christmas Blaine. I hope you have an amazing day, I can't wait to give you your gift. Ring you later?'
He then sent a text to all of the New Directions, plus Wes, David and Thad.
'Merry Christmas Everyone, hope you have an amazing day!'
He knew Puck and Rachel didn't really celebrate christmas but he felt guilty sending it to everyone but them. He hadn't even noticed that he'd also sent the text Blaine.
He walked into the kitchen and almost screamed, he wasn't expecting anyone else to be up so was shocked when he saw Carole stood at the cooker.
"Carole? What are you doing up so early? Oh and Merry Christmas!" He said, his voice quiet as made his way over to the kettle, "Coffee?"
"Oh, Kurt! You scared me! Merry Christmas to you too" she screamed which caused both of them to laugh. "Oh and no thank- Actually go on, I'd love a coffee please."
Kurt smiled and nodded, grabbing another cup from the cupboard.
"Oh, I always wake up early Christmas Day, Finn always used to be up at half past 4 in the morning, so It's become a force of habit." She said laughing as she continued making pancakes.
Kurt was finished making the drinks and placed her coffee next to her before sitting down in his seat at the table, staring at his phone wishing Blaine had text him back, he knew Blaine was still asleep, but still..
A few moment's passed before Carole spoke again, "Waiting for a text from Blaine?" she asked laughing lightly "He's probably till asleep honey, it is still kind of early for normal people." she said laughing as she tried to cheer him up.
Kurt's cheeks turned a light shade of red "I text him when I woke up and I know he's asleep.." he let out a sigh "I don't know why I keep staring at it.."
"That's what you get when you're in love sweetie" she said matter of factly flipping a pancake onto an empty plate.
"What?" Kurt said shocked, he stared at Carole as his cheeks turned a bright shade of red.
"Aww honey, it's obvious. I bet the only people who don't see it are Blaine and your Dad.'' she said in her caring and soothing tone. "And I reckon your Dad does know on some level, he just isn't ready to admit his little boy is growing up."
"I, I, - I," Kurt stuttered over his words, unsure of what he was supposed to say. His step mother just told him he was in love. That was the second time he'd been told that in the past three days!
"It's okay Kurt." She said smiling as she made her way over to him, placing her hand on his shoulder "It'll get better, the way you two are always texting, or talking I'm sure he feels the same. It will happen when it's supposed too." She leaned down and kissed the top of his head before returning to cooking her pancakes.
Kurt took a sip of his coffee 'the way you two are always texting, or talking I'm sure he feels the same.' Really? Does she really think so? Could, could he feel the same way. They do text all the time and talk for hours on the phone, I mean 6 hours on the phone yesterday, that must be a new record. But it doesn't mean anything.. Does it? Could it?
The two sat there in a comfortable silence, Carole continued to make pancakes for everyone when they finally woke up, while Kurt just sat there thinking about his relationship with Blaine. At twenty past seven Finn came down the stairs yawning. His hair was an absolute mess and he actually looked adorable (in a brotherly way of course) in his space muppet top and trousers. He took a seat opposite Kurt, who then moved to make him a cup of coffee.
"Morning" he said stifling a yawn. "Merry Christmas!" He then practically shouted, his voice full of joy as he properly woke up. "Is that pancakes?" he said which caused both Kurt and Carole to laugh.
Burt came down not to long afterwards and they all sat down and ate breakfast together as a family. Kurt still had no text from Blaine when they started opening the presents at half past nine. He wondered why he would still be in bed this late on Christmas Day. He knew he had a difficult relationship with his parents and prayed to the god he didn't believe in that Blaine would have a good christmas. Then his Dad was about to open the gift he'd bought him upside down and he got distracted..
It was half past ten when Blaine finally woke up. Half past ten on Christmas Morning and he had just woken up. To other kids of his age this was unusual, even Wes who loved his sleep would be up at half past six on Christmas Day. However, Blaine had always been different, even when he was younger. His parents hated christmas, they'd buy him loads of presents every year, really go out with decoration's and everything, but it was all one huge publicity stunt.
Blaine rolled over in his bed and checked his phone he had two messages from Kurt, they were both sent at 6 this morning. He had to laugh at this, it was so adorable that Kurt still loved Christmas as much as he did.
The first being:
'Merry Christmas Blaine. I hope you have an amazing day, I can't wait to give you your gift. Ring you later?'
And the second:
'Merry Christmas Everyone, hope you have an amazing day!'
Blaine smiled, he'd obviously sent a group text and had forgotten to take him off of the list. It also meant that Blaine was, for some reason special, because he got his very own Merry Christmas text.
He smiled and typed a quick reply back, not wanting to keep him waiting any longer.
'Merry Christmas Kurt. Wish all of your family Merry Christmas from me too and I hope you are having a lovely day so far. Gift? You got me a gift? You didn't have to Kurt, seriously. However, I look forward to giving you mine also. Of course, wouldn't miss our phone call for the world.'
After sending the message he fell back into his pillows, not wanting to leave the safety of his room but knowing that he would have to.
Kurt's phone started singing Teenage Dream from the kitchen and Kurt was gone like a light. He was up and out of his seat in less then point five of a second.
Burt looked confused at the actions of his son. "Blaine" Carole gave as an explanation, Finn nodded and Burt continued to look confused. It was weird that his Dad was the only one who didn't know..
"Blaine says Merry Christmas!" He called out to the room as he read the text while taking his seat.
"Merry Christmas Blaine" Finn, Carole and Burt said at the same time to an empty room. Kurt laughed and started writing out his text.
'YOU'RE UP! Hi. They say 'Merry Christmas Blaine.' Literally, they all said it out loud to the front room! Bless them.. It's been good thanks, we've had breakfast and we started opening the presents about an hour ago although we've only unwrapped about three! Of course I got you a gift! What do you take me for! Aww Blaine, you shouldn't have. You really shouldn't have. Okay great. I look forward to talking to you soon.'
Kurt sent the text and his attention returned to his family, Carole was opening her present from his Dad which was a gorgeous necklace. They spent at least another two, maybe even three hours opening all the presents, they would stop after so many and maybe tell a story or eat some cakes. It made the morning last longer.
Kurt continued to text Blaine throughout the morning. Kurt knew Blaine wasn't having a very good day so he did what ever he could through texting him to make his day some sort of good. Some of the things Blaine was saying broke his heart, no one should spend Christmas Day sad. He tried to turn it into a laugh because he knew how much Blaine hated speaking about his family.
Blaine and Kurt had been texting all morning, Blaine felt guilty and had offered to let Kurt open his presents in peace but he refused. Blaine stayed in bed and continued to text Kurt throughout his morning, this was the only way he was going to enjoy Christmas, if he kept up a constant conversation with his best friend.
'Awww that's so sweet considering they don't even know me. I'm glad you're having a good christmas I really am. If you're allowed to buy me a gift I'm allowed to buy you one. It works both ways Kurt.'
It surprised Blaine how fast Kurt was at replying considering he was busy with his family.
'Just because they don't know you doesn't mean they don't care. I think it would surprise you how much they care about you already and they haven't even met you yet. I bet the first time you meet them you'll be welcomed like a member of the family. I guess you're right.. How's you're christmas going? What are you up to?'
Blaine was smiling as read the text but it turned into a sort of semi frown as he finished reading it, what was he supposed to say? He didn't want to lie to Kurt and especially not on Christmas Day, he sighed. Okay, a rough version of the truth.
'Aww that's sweet. I look forward to our first meeting but I doubt it will be like that, they don't even know me Kurt. They might hate me. Umm, well.. I am still in bed, probably won't be leaving it any time soon.'
He waited for Kurt's reply nervous of what he would say to his whereabouts.
'Still in bed Blaine? At this hour? On Christmas day? You lazy person you. I hope you are okay Blaine, if you ever need to talk I am here. I wish you could have spent the day with me. You'd love it here I think.'
Blaine smiled, he was pretty sure that Kurt knew that wasn't the reason he was still in bed and Blaine loved how he chose not too ask questions. Blaine smiled, Kurt really knew him, and seemed to know him well.
'Aha, yeah. You know me. I know you are there for me, I just, I just don't think I'm ready to talk yet. But Thank you. I wish I could have spent the day with you too.'
The conversation went on like that all day. Both of them laughing and smiling, Kurt was doing an amazing job at making this a reasonably good christmas. Blaine spent most of the day with a smile on his face, even when he was forced to eat christmas dinner with his parents.
By the time evening came around both boys had had a good day, Kurt more so then Blaine, but the point was Blaine's Christmas didn't exactly suck. And that was because of Kurt.
They spent hours talking on the phone that night, Kurt was telling Blaine about all the things he'd gotten for Christmas from his family and friends while Blaine opened his presents while on the phone to him, laughing as he did so.
The two said good night at half past eleven and they both spent the night dreaming about a christmas they'd would spend together. As a couple.
I Don't know what you will think of this chapter.. It's the first time I've ever split a chapter up like that, swapping from different view points. It would be nice to know what you think :)
