A/N: (Jelly23)Hello my pretties! So guess what? We have an update for you! Woop! Woop! I hope you enjoy this chapter as it is an important one :O. Your emotions will be flying everywhere by the time you finish reading this so that's just a warning. As were mine while I was writing) Well just a little notice, last week on my account I posted a Larry Stylinson fiction and it would be awesome if some of you read it :) I will hopefully update in the next week or two so look for that if you do choose to read it.
And like always I present to you chapter 4!
(WalrusIncognito) Hey guys. I'm really sorry the update took so long and I totally take all the blame. I was procrastinating which is weird seeing as I really like this fic and where we're planning on taking it. I would blame it on us having to take finals but that's a lame excuse seeing as so did Jel and I don't study for them anyway. So yeah, no clue why it took me so long to write my half but it's written now so I hope you don't hate me for it. Originally I was gonna have this be super long and self-indulgent and stuff but like no one reads these anyway so it's not like it matters XD But I do feel the need to address a few things here, cuz, you know, they're important.
little baby, he'.s all grown up! Darren Criss performed for the freaking president guys, this is nuts. He went from being a humble Starkid to this and I'm just like "alkshdalo Wut?" It's insane and I love him.
Hiddleston tweeted about Chuck Criss and Freelance Whales :O Full circle baby!
Numbers finished and it makes me want to cry and squeal (still) If you haven't read it yet then you should. It's on LiveJournal, Little Numbers by iknowitain'teasy. It's fantastic and filled with klaine-y amazingness.
That's it. I mean, there's definitely more to talk about (coughApocalyptour anyone?cough) But this is already long enough. So enjoy the chapter!
"What the heck!" Liam shouted, looking confused. He sprang up from the ground, walking around the corner to run straight into a certain stylist.
"Oh, um, hey. Hey guys, what's up?" Kurt said suspiciously trying to casually play off his stumble. He put one hand against the wall and the other behind his head trying to look like nothing had happened.
"Kurt. What were you just doing?" Niall asked glancing over to Louis who looked both worried and relieved.
"Oh me? Pfft nothing, you- you know just, uh, checking out these flowers that somehow managed to... fall. On the ground." Kurt replied, chuckling nervously
"Uh huh, and how long were you 'checking out' those flowers for?" Liam demanded. Kurt just gave him a bleak smile.
''I don't know, let's say-"
"Liam, stop walking around the obvious. Kurt, how much of that did you actually hear?" Louis said with a sudden amount of confidence. Zayn shot him a strange look but let it slide.
"Um, I got here when Zayn and Niall came downstairs so... the whole thing…" Kurt trailed off looking at the ground which had suddenly become particularly interesting. "I didn't mean to!" He said suddenly, looking up at all of them guiltily. "I thought it would be nice if I showed up early but when I came in I heard a lot of talking and, well... You can't blame a guy for being curious!" He crossed his arms defensively over his chest. "So I went to go see what was happening but, you guys looked busy so I just sort of stood behind this wall and tried not to pay attention. I didn't want to listen, I swear! It's just, you guys were being kind of loud. And you seemed so distressed and I felt bad. But I promise I won't tell anyone! I mean why would I when I know what you're going through." Kurt frantically apologized and everyone seemed to follow along.
"It's ok Kurt, you're a nice guy." Louis reassured his frazzled stylist while Zayn looked on, clearly lost.
"Zayn what's wrong?" Niall shot Zayn a questioning look.
"How does he know what Louis' going through? I mean, he's not... Oh!" Zayn's eyes widened comically and Niall and Louis scoffed at their friends less than observant tendencies.
"Yeah I'm gay, not that hard to tell really." Kurt laughed at the raven haired boy's epiphany.
"How didn't you know that? I mean he brought his boyfriend here the day we met." Niall called out and Louis and Liam nodded their heads in agreement.
"Well excuse me for not wanting to jump to conclusions! Special friend can mean anything these days." Zayn claimed, trying to hide his embarrassment.
"Excuse Zayn, he's not really good at recognizing the things that are right in front of him." Liam spat out suddenly. Everyone turned to look at him, surprised by his bitter tone. Liam just shook his head, pushing past Kurt and walking towards the stairs. He passed Harry on his way up, not even bothering to acknowledge to curly haired guy.
"What the hell is that supposed to mean!" Zayn yelled back, his eyebrows furrowing.
"Whoa," Harry muttered sleepily, walking into the room "Wha's goin' on down here?" He rubbed his eyes sleepily.
"Oh you know Kurt's just here chilling out while we waited for you to wake up." Louis replied quickly, springing from the ground and wiping his eyes. Niall just shot him a curious look.
"No shit sherlock." Harry teased. "I meant what's up with Liam?" Everyone just shook their heads, not knowing how to answer his query.
"We've got no idea… I'll go talk to him…" Zayn said hastily making his way past the dumbfounded boys and to Liam's room. He second guessed talking to him after they just apparently fought but he managed to make himself to knock on the door. "Liam? Can I come in?"
"No go away!" Liam shot back
"Come on Liam I'm sorry for whatever it is I did to you, just please let me in." Zayn sighed, looking at the wooden door.
"You made me love you." Liam whispered to himself, looking up from his pillow to glance at the door.
"Ugh." Zayn muttered, not having heard what Liam had said. "We can't talk through this door forever and you're gonna have to come out at some point. So why don't you open up the door so we ca- "
"Fine come in" Liam cut Zayn off, finally opening the door. Zayn walked in and sat on the bed while Liam quickly shut the door and joined him.
"Liam what's wrong? You've been acting moody all day and what's up with the death glares towards Niall?" Zayn asked as Liam looked around the room anger flashing in his eyes.
"Nothing is wrong! Just stop asking me that!" Liam shouted, jealousy filling him.
"Liam calm down! I just want to help!" Zayn answered, shocked about how Liam was acting .Usually he is calm and cool but something had caused him to snap.
"Do not tell me to calm down! Just... Just go back downstairs with Niall and the others and leave me alone! I'm not going to talk about it and I'm-" Liam's tirade was cut short by Zayn's lips crashing into his. He quickly realized what was happening and relaxed into the kiss, wrapping his arms against the Bradford boy's neck. Every emotion, every feeling that he once had coursed through his body and he was mesmerized by the one thing he had been longing for. He leaned in, attempting to deepen the kiss when Zayn frantically pulled away, eyes wide. He snaked himself out of Liam's arms, springing off the bed.
"I'm sorry I... I can't!" Zayn apologized, rushing out of the room. Why had he done that? What did he think was going to come of it? Something good? Well clearly he was wrong, he had just made a bigger mess than they had had at the start. Liam clearly felt something, but Zayn didn't know how he felt about that or whether or not he reciprocated the feelings. His mind inadvertently flashed to a familiar blonde head and he groaned, running into his room and slamming the door behind him.
5 Days Later
It was a Wednesday. Blaine and Wednesday's had a love-hate kind of relationship. For one they meant no afternoon classes for Blaine, which used to lead to spending the whole afternoon cuddled with Kurt in their apartment and then going to play his gig at the cafe on the corner.
At least... It used to. Now that Kurt had his full-time job as the lead One Direction stylist, Blaine's Wednesday routine had changed. Now it meant going home early, doing chores around the house, walking the dogs in Central Park, eating a quick dinner, playing at the cafe, and then picking Kurt up from work.
And Blaine tried, he really tried to be upset that Kurt was gone all the time. And he was, but... It was a little hard. He loved Kurt and he wished that they spent more time together but this was Kurt's dream, the opportunity of a lifetime. Plus it meant Blaine was on first name basis with One-Freaking-Direction, which was pretty amazing in itself.
Blaine pushed open the revolving door to said band's apartment, shouldering his guitar. He waved to Mathias, the doorman and headed to wards the elevator, stepping inside and hitting the button for the boy's floor, tapping his foot impatiently.
He was late to pick up Kurt and it had been a particularly long day. He had been assigned a 5 page paper on musical theory from one of his morning classes, Frodo had ran away when they went out for their walk and he had spent almost a half hour trying to catch him. Then he had had to rush home to shower and he had forgot his guitar at home so he had to run back before his show started. To top it off his show had run late too, which usually would have been a good thing but today was just not a good day for Blaine.
So now here he was, 45 minutes late for Kurt, still carrying all his things. At least he didn't have the dogs. The elevator made a loud dinging noise and Blaine jumped, hurrying out before the doors clanged shut again. He walked down the hall, knocking on the door to the familiar apartment.
There was some loud scuffling and quite a bit of shouting before the door swung open to reveal a beaming Louis. "Blaine, how are you?" Blaine smiled, stepping through the doorway to stand next to the younger man. "Nice to see you Lou. I'm doing okay, just tired. How 'bout you?"
Louis shrugged, looking around the hallway. "Nothing's changed really. I... I took your advice. I told them. Well... Harry still doesn't know." Blaine gave him an understanding smile, patting him on the arm. "You gotta tell him eventually."
They walked together into the dining room where Kurt was currently residing, his work scattered around him. Blaine leaned against the door frame, watching Kurt order the other four boys around. He let out an involuntary snort when Niall slid in, wearing what appeared to be a bright orange floral lampshade on his head.
"You guys remind me of the Warblers more and more every time I visit."
Kurt's head snapped around and he beamed at Blaine, walking over to give him a quick hug. "Sorry I was late." Blaine pulled Kurt back towards him, pecking his boyfriend on the lips.
"The show ran late." Kurt smiled, pulling away to collect his things. "That's a good thing. It means people like you. And I got some extra work done so it was a win-win."
Blaine forced a strained smile. "Glad to see I was missed." He commented, a hard edge to his voice. Kurt gave him a look, walking over to give him a long kiss. "I always miss you."
Blaine gave him a crooked smile. "Oh! Hey Blaine!" Zayn said, not even batting an eyelash when he noticed that Kurt and Blaine were wrapped up together.
He walked over to Niall, chuckling at the blonde's new headgear. "Nialler how'd you even manage that?" He asked, wrapping his arms loosely around Niall's neck and resting his chin on his shoulder.
Niall shrugged with one shoulder, smiling down at the other boy's head. "I heard the door and fell over when I went to get it. Hey Blaine! Why do you have a guitar?"
Blaine opened his mouth to reply when Liam walked in, knocking Niall gently in the back of the head. "Niall don't pry. It's rude."
"I wasn't!" Niall said indignantly. "I was just curious." Blaine smiled, waving off Liam's protests. "It's cool. I had a gig tonight and I didn't get a chance to drop my stuff off at our apartment."
"Play us something?" Harry asked, striding in to stand next to Louis, who flushed slightly when their hands brushed together. "Oh, yeah! Play us something Blaine!" Niall shouted, wriggling out of Zayn's arms and running into the living room, flopping onto a couch.
Liam rolled his eyes but smiled, following them all into the other room. "Um... any requests?" Blaine asked nervously, fiddling with the edge of his guitar. It was one thing to sing for a bunch of strangers but performing by request for international boy-band superstars was a little nerve-wracking.
"Teenage Dream!" Kurt laughed, smirking. He perched himself on the arm of one of the large leather recliners, watching Blaine intently. "Sorry babe, not this time." Blaine wiggled his eyebrows, laughing.
"How 'bout you guys? Anything you'd like to hear?" "Disney!" Niall said, grinning when Zayn sat down next to him.
"Oh my God." Blaine looked mortified but slightly amused. "Kurt you told them?" "I may have mentioned it once or twice..." Kurt bit back a smile.
"Kurt," Blaine whined. "I am a grown man. I don't need you telling your clients about my love for Disney."
Liam rolled his eyes, sitting on the other side of Zayn so the poor boy was sandwiched between him and Niall. "Blaine, Kurt told us as your friends. Anyway, it's not like we care."
Blaine laughed. "Fine, but I'm not feeling Disney-ish so you'll have to wait till another time." Kurt mock gasped and Blaine shot him a half-halfhearted glare.
"I have an idea, bear with me?" Blaine asked, beginning to strum on his guitar. "What is it Blaine?" Louis asked, looking slightly pensive. "Just listen." Louis raised his eyebrows but leaned back, listening intently.
Blaine smiled softly, his eyes locking with Kurt's as he began to sing softly.
Settle down with me
Cover me up
Cuddle me in
Lie down with me
And hold me in your arms
Kurt smiled, singing along softly, his voice mixing with Blaine's to form a haunting harmony.
And your heart's against my chest, your lips pressed in my neck
I'm falling for your eyes, but they don't know me yet
And with a feeling I'll forget, I'm in love now
Kiss me like you wanna be loved
You wanna be loved
You wanna be loved
This feels like falling in love
Falling in love
We're falling in love
Louis watched Blaine singing to Kurt, a sad smile spread across his face. He glanced over at Harry who was watching Blaine, his head tilted to the side. Louis smiled, moving closer to the curly haired boy.
Settle down with me
And I'll be your safety
You'll be my lady
I was made to keep your body warm
But I'm cold as the wind blows so hold me in your arms
Oh no
My heart's against your chest, your lips pressed in my neck
I'm falling for your eyes, but they don't know me yet
And with this feeling I'll forget, I'm in love now
Harry looked over at Louis, smiling widely. "He's great." He mouthed and Louis nodded, the lyrics to the song echoing through his head. Falling for your eyes but they don't know me yet. He couldn't even express how much he wanted Harry to know how he felt. How hard it was for him to know that all the hugging and hand holding only meant something to one of them.
Kiss me like you wanna be loved
You wanna be loved
You wanna be loved
This feels like falling in love
Falling in love
We're falling in love
Yeah I've been feeling everything
From hate to love
From love to lust
From lust to truth
I guess that's how I know you
So I hold you close to help you give it up
Zayn shot Louis a sad smile, trying to ignore the tugging, painful feeling he was feeling in his chest. He looked over at Niall, who was watching Blaine intently, his blue eyes shining. Zayn bit his lip, slipping his hand into Niall's. Niall's eyes widened but he didn't look at Zayn, he just tightened his grip on the Bradford boy's hand. Liam watched this exchange with a frown, his emotions clearly reflected in his eyes.
So kiss me like you wanna be loved
You wanna be loved
You wanna be loved
This feels like falling in love
Falling in love
We're falling in love
Kiss me like you wanna be loved
You wanna be loved
You wanna be loved
This feels like falling in love
Falling in love
We're falling in love
Blaine finished singing, beaming at Kurt. He set the guitar down gently, still smiling. Before he could asked what any of them thought he found himself enveloped in Kurt's arms, a heated kiss being pressed to his lips. "That was amazing." Kurt whispered, pulling away and smiling. Blaine just grinned, looking to the 5 boys.
"You were fantastic!" Niall and Zayn said at the same time, getting up to engulf Blaine in a bear hug, their hands no longer linked together. "You really were great." Liam said, smiling. "Do you write?"
Blaine nodded, pulling away from the other two and laughing. He sat down with Kurt in the armchair. "I write a little, yeah." "They're all really good." Kurt grinned. "He plays a bunch of instruments too." Blaine flushed. "He makes me out to be better than I am."
"So do you have anything officially released?" Zayn asked, sitting back down next to Liam. "Not yet, I'm in my last year of college now."
"You should open for us." Harry said suddenly, smiling widely. "I- what?" Blaine looked surprised. "You should open for us at our concerts. We need someone anyway and you're great. Plus it'll jump-start your career. We'll talk to Management and get it arranged."
Louis looked over at Harry, grinning widely, confidence shining in his eyes. "Harry I need to tell you somethi-" Unfortunately his voice was drowned out by everyone elses's excitement.
"Oh my God. Thank you so much!" "It's nothing really. You're fantastic." "Harry! I-" Louis was interrupted again and he scowled. "This going to be so awesome! You'll get to tour with us and Kurt!" "Harry-" "And you'll probably get signed for a record-"
"HARRY!" Louis yelled out, finally getting their attention. Everyone turned to stare at him, surprised by the sudden outburst. "I erm..." Louis stalled, trying to ignore the sinking feeling in the pit of his stomach. He looked up, steeling himself and took a deep breath. "Harry I have to tell you something."
"What's up Boo?" Harry asked, looking worried. Realization dawned on the other five's faces and thy looked at each other, eyebrows raised. "Harry I- I'm gay."
A/N (WalrusIncognito) Don't you think that One Direction could've totally gone to Dalton? Like Louis could've been Kurt's cousin, Harry could've been Blaine's irritating and adorable younger brother, Niall could've been Jeff's cousin, Zayn could've been related to Wes somehow and Liam could've just gone there. Or maybe he's related to Nick or something- who knows. Am I the only one who thinks that? Review and tell us :3 hint hint.
Oh and the song is Kiss Me by Ed Sheeran. Ed Sheeran is God, like, I siriusly love him. So yeah, go buy some of his music and stuff :3 and review with how much you love him. I don't even know, just review kay? love you all!
