It was late. Late enough that Todd could see the sky trying to turn light again. He pressed the heel of his palm to his forehead, rubbing across it, then looked up again. He guessed he had about two hours.
The way through the back had never been sealed off from him. There was still a breach there that allowed him to pass through the security system. No lasers firing at his butt tonight, or any other.
Todd figured Kurt would've mentioned it earlier, all things considered. He made it to the side of the building and scrambled up the wall to Kurt's balcony. The door was not locked. Todd pushed it open and stepped in.
Kurt's room, just as he'd left it. A few scraps of shining paper glinted on his desk, wrappings from the party they'd had. Kurt's bed was made, un-slept in since a few nights ago.
Todd sat on it, trying to picture what Kurt was doing right now.
Sitting with his parents maybe. Watching dumb holiday repeats on the television. Was it morning there already, or afternoon?
Todd laid back. Damn the boy had a soft bed. Todd squirmed, rolled over on his side. He was considerate enough to kick off his muddy shoes as an afterthought. The he grabbed the top pillow off the bed and tossed it over to the side, pulled down the spread and crawled underneath.
He pressed his face into the pillow, closing his eyes. Kurt was a bastard, leaving him alone like this. A complete jackass.
Todd curled tighter under the covers, pulled them over his head and completely immersed himself in the warm haven. He breathed in more of Kurt's scent, holding it in his lungs until he ached.
And he didn't miss Kurt at all.
