Note: Small shout out to the World Cup on this one. It's been really fun watching it.


Chapter 7

Best Night Ever! Or at the very least Best night in a long time. They slept spooning with their hands link. When they wake up, they pretend to be asleep for a while. When they finally decide to show signs of consciousness they are very careful to keep their hands together so they don't break the string holding their handcuffs together.

Blaine feels mildly happy about the situation, enjoying the cuddle while he can, pretending they are in their bed in New York. But he knows it won't last forever. Kurt has shown no sign of changing his mind about the divorce.

Kurt feels conflicted, he shouldn't want to cuddle with Blaine, and it feels so nice to be held. But physical needs won't win against the emotional wreck he made of him.

Now they are trying to get dress, they had to sleep in their underwear and shirts from the day before so their only job was to put on pants. Which turn out to be a more difficult task than they thought, when Kurt trips and Blaine has to jump on top of him to not break the string. Their faces so close. They giggle awkwardly and blush a little.


They are on their way to the stage area to get the 10 points for surviving been handcuff all day and all night.

"What do you think we'll do today?" Blaine asks.

"I don't know, Blaine!" Kurt snaps.

"Wow. You seem angry all of a sudden"

"This is wrong" Kurt says.

"What's wrong?"

"Us, acting so friendly, I don't like it"

"Well, I'm not acting, I have friendly feelings toward you" Blaine explains.

"But I don't! This handcuff task is messing with my brain".

"What do you mean, is it about been on the camp." Blaine says hopeful.

"Absolutely not! I'm annoyed that this camp is trying to remind me of the good times, because it only makes me angrier about what you did to me". Kurt is holding on to a tear about to fall.

"I thought we had a truce, we weren't gonna treat each other like that, remember?"

"Truce my ass. I don't want to be nice to you, Blaine, YOU don't decerve-" In the heat of the moment Kurt wants to point to Blaine's face when he says YOU, so, he forgets about the string, he un-links his hand and goes to point. And then the string is broken.

They freeze in the moment, looking at the broken string, they feel the weight of the 10 points they just lost. Kurt also feels guilty because he knows is his fault. And Blaine has something bubbling up in his head.

"You know what, Kurt? I'm sick of you treating me like shit! I know I screwed up but I think I was a good boyfriend and a good husband 98 percent of the time. Which I think is more than I could say about you!" Blaine complains.

"Are you seriously going to compare me been just busy for a while with you cheating on me? Twice!?"

"Just busy? Are you kidding? I didn't exist in your like for like a year, after you got le lead on Broadway".

"Oh, don't be so dramatic". Kurt complains.

"I won't, I'm going!" Blaine turns around.

"Where the hell are you going?!"

"Away from you for a while." Blaine is annoyed.

"Perfect, just be back for the next task."

"I already know that, bye"

"Yeah, whatever"

"Whatever". Blaine had the final word before walking away, with fume coming out of his head.

And Kurt turns to the other side with his fists clenched.


In the afternoon everybody is ready for the competition. They are going to play Soccer. There are 12 people in each cabin and 5 cabins. Each cabin is a team. They play 8 vs 8, and 4 for substitute. And only for 20 minutes per game.

Kurt and Blaine have cool down form their fight, now they focus on the competition.

"Kurt, I like sports but I've never played soccer before, I'm a bit nervous" Says Blaine.

"You are telling me, I didn't get the offside rule. I thought it was a joke about it been difficult"

"Everybody looks a bit confuse, we just need to kick the ball to the other side."

"I kicked a ball once, I can do it again."

"Exactly"

And he did, Kurt got a pass, hesitated for a second, and kicked the ball just like he did so many years ago, strong and high, too high for soccer. He felt so embarrass he refuse to touch the ball again.

Blaine kept waving his hand in front of the other players like his playing basketball. His best moment was when he gave Antonio a glorious pass for the goal, and felt pretty good about himself.

That was just on the first game, there were three more to go.

By the last game the boys were more comfortable playing the game, but they were exhausted, and so was everyone else. They gave it their all and managed a decent third place and a humble 20 points. Antonio and Veronica were the stars of the team.

To celebrate the team goes to for a dip in the lake. Fatigue muscles and full of endorphins, they splash around and laugh, all these couples seem to forget why they are in this camp, and they don't want it to end. After a while their bodies really can't take it anymore and the energy dies down, the group goes quiet, to not ruin the moment. Some people wonder if all it takes is exercise to prevent decay in relationships. In silence they watch the last piece of sun go down.

The most confuse in the group is clearly Kurt. He almost hugged Blaine when they won the last game that got them third place. Also, he notices that Blaine in not angry at him anymore and hi is happy about it, even now he hates it if Blaine is angry at him, but why? And it bothers him how easily friendship pulls them back. He wishes he could hate him or feel indifferent but Blaine stops looking at the sun to look at him and smile, and part of his heart melted. Maybe is just the endorphins.


The boys buy a couple of sandwiches and because they can't be bothered with eating sitting up, they take them to their bedroom.

"I feel like we shouldn't eat on the bed" Kurt says.

"I don't care, I'm so tire. It feels like I'm eating the best sandwich in the world in the most comfortable bed in the universe". Blaine is in ecstasy.

Kurt giggles, "But we haven't even showered yet". He complains but looks just at satisfied with the food and bed.

"I really try to stay mad at you today, you know" Blaine blurts up looking serious now.

Kurt stops eating, "I know, why didn't you?"

"I loved seen you play, getting invested in the team and been happy about winning the last game, even though it was just for third place. It's always hard for me to stay mad at you, maybe is just the endorphins."

They smile at each other and go back to eating.
