In My Place
Trying my best to write when I can and then being determined to finish the chapter and post it! Hope you are all enjoying, nice to look at the viewers going up but please can you review? I won't ask again but I just want to know what you all think! x
Kurt had finally managed to settle down in his new home. He'd been sneaking out the first few days to see either Clara and Ben or Blaine and to his appointments with John, but the family had wanted him to speak with them and get used to them before he could start going places. The woman, who he wasn't calling anything along the lines of Mum, was okay, her name was Delia, she could be stubborn when it came to her decisions but she was generally just the mother figure who would cook, shout him when meals were ready or when he needed to do something and introduce him to new people, generally, she was okay, Kurt could tolerate her. The Farther figure however, he was a little different. His name was Harry. Kurt could tell that there could be a problem with him. One night when watching some TV show, which Kurt didn't know, he'd spent the night looking out the corner of his eye to see James' expression towards a gay couple in the scene, Kurt noticed that James kept looking away and pulling disgusted faces. James obviously had a problem with gay people and apparently Kurt in general. Another occasion, a previous foster child had popped round to see the family, her name was Kathy, she told Kurt that James seemed to have a problem with every child that stayed there. Kurt decided that James didn't want to be a foster Dad and he was miserable because his wife did.
'How's it going Mr?"
Kurt smiled softly as Blaine's name flashed up on the screen.
'Okay I suppose, what are you doing today?"
Kurt placed his phone down on the side awaiting a reply whilst he made some toast.
"Have you seen my car keys?" Kurt looked over his shoulder to see James stood there.
"I'm sure they were on the table at the bottom of the stairs, at least I think they were." Kurt had smiled in hope he could make a little bit of a connection with James.
"It's fine I'll check." James had turned to go and look, Kurt wasn't fortunate.
Awkward conversations had been going on like this for a week and a half now, normally Kurt would ask the person what their problem was and probably use some harsh choice of words to go with it but with the situation being so complicated and him only putting up with this for nine months, he found it easier to just try and be polite. Even John had been helping him with how he should act and both John and Kurt had agreed that Kurt would just behave and be polite so he couldn't get blamed for everything and no one would have a problem with him.
"I don't have a problem with you anymore Kurt, I know we've had our differences before but I think we should just forget about that." Puck chased Kurt down the corridor.
"And why should I forgive you Puck?"
"Because..." Puck searched for an explanation.
"Because you want me to do your homework again?"
"NO- Okay maybe."
"Move out of my way Puck, I've told you before that just because you can't spell your own name doesn't mean we can be best of friends for half an hour or so while I do your homework! It doesn't work like that Puck!"
People on the corridor laughed at the mocking from Kurt and Puck actually moved, maybe Kurt had grown up, he'd started standing up for himself and it was working.
Kurt's phone buzzing made him look up. Recently Kurt had been having happier and much better thoughts.
"Hi Kurt, may I have that toast and you make some more so I can get to work? I will make it up to you by making whatever you want for your tea tonight." Delia held her hands together as if she was praying and smiled.
"Course you can." Kurt returned the smile.
"You're a good kid Kurt, I'll see you later."
"See you soon."
As soon as Kurt heard the door shut, he checked his phone.
'I was studying but this kid, cute and funny, you might know him, well, he keeps distracting me so I think I may have to meet him.'
Kurt blushed and smiled again. This flirting had been going on for far too long now and Kurt was trying to avoid being flirtatious back but it just came naturally with Blaine.
"I don't know who you're possibly referring to, what time and where are you meeting him?"
Kurt placed his phone back down as he ate his toast, originally, he'd wanted two pieces but he ended up with one due to his stomach feeling fuller after the first bite. Before he knew it, he was taking his last bite when his phone went off again. As he stood up to check his phone, he heard a knock on the front door. Kurt held the corner of his toast he had left in one hand and his phone in the other as he made his way to the door.
'You'll find out soon enough." Kurt smiled once again as he opened the door.
"Too soon?" Blaine stood grinning on the door step.
"No, not at all, come in." Blaine followed Kurt into the house and closed the door behind him,
"Wait, Kurt, turn around," Kurt turned to face Blaine once more, "You have butter on your face."
"Shit, were?"
Blaine held a hand out and wiped Kurt's face. "It's gone."
"You're an idiot, it's a good job you talk some sense otherwise me and you would be enemies." Kurt grinned as they walked to the kitchen.
"That's not true though and you know it, you love me either way!"
"Whatever!" Kurt spun around to face Blaine.
"Is anybody home?" Blaine looked around.
"Yes, everyone is home and I'm gonna get in a big amount of trouble when they find you here!"
"Seriously?"
"No, they're all at work."
"Good!" Blaine took his coat off and flung it on a chair as they both sat down at the kitchen side.
"What were you studying for?"
"I was studying a picture of this guy I know." Blaine's eyes moved so they were staring above him and his head tipped so he appeared innocent.
"Do you ever stop flirting?" Kurt looked really serious.
"Calm down... and, no, I don't."
"Well it's about time you did! I hate being tormented!" Kurt giggled and looked down, oblivious to Blaine's tone changing at first.
"The thing is Kurt, I'm not flirting to annoy you or torment you or whatever, I actually do-"
"Don't finish that sentence, you don't like me, I'm just someone you feel sorry for because his life his shit and he is kind of depressed at the minute and you feel good because you can make him feel better."
"No, I don't like you."
"Thank you." Kurt looked into Blaine's eyes but not with a sarcastic look, he meant it.
"I love you."
The room went completely silent. Kurt shook his head trying to work out if he heard right as Blaine blushed.
"Shut up messing around and tell me what you were studying for, I'll help you."
"Did you hear me right?"
"Yes, but I'm pretending I didn't for the both of us, you'll regret it and I'll feel crap for allowing it to happen, now what do you need to learn?"
"Math."
"Okay, move your ass somewhere comfier and then we can go through it."
Kurt turned around to place a plate on the side, he thought Blaine had headed for the family room until he felt something soft press into the side of his leg.
"Blaine! What the hell?" Blaine's ass was pressing into Kurt's leg when Kurt had turned around.
"You said I had to place me ass somewhere comfier, that place is your knee."
"I mean it now, stop fucking around!" Kurt pushed past Blaine nudging his arm.
"And I mean what I said too!" Kurt turned around once more and looked into Blaine's eyes.
"I LOVE YOU! I know it might seem stupid because we met like a moth ago now and we are such great friends, I know it'll probably seem weird if we ever got together and then you have to go and talk to my Dad about what is troubling you but when I make you laugh, smile or just feel better, it makes me feel better. I've never had this feeling before about anyone Kurt, yeah you can have a friend that you go and make feel better every now and again and tell them that everything will be okay but with you, it's completely different-"
Before Blaine even finished his long, muddled speech to declare his love, warm, dry, beautiful lips were pressed against his own. The moment couldn't have been more perfect for him.
Hope you liked it? x
