Chapter 7
To Kurt:
Turns out my parents are real assholes. Not a surprise really. I'm back at Dalton with Wes. Don't worry about me, I'll tell you the whole story tomorrow.
From Kurt:
If you say I shouldn't worry, I start to worry, that's just how it works. You're not very good at reassuring your boyfriend. Sure you don't need anything?
To Kurt:
Ah, my tune in my last text is a tad depressing. I'm not depressed, I'm really happy about your song, about our kiss and about your promise!
From Kurt:
Don't try to distract me, Anderson. Not working. If you don't text me back something good, I'll call you until you pick up the phone.
To Kurt:
Really, I'm fine. My parents just don't like me being gay. I promise, my dear boyfriend, I'll tell you the whole story tomorrow.
From Kurt:
Okay, I believe you, soulmate. Also, I'm still gonna call you!
"Kurt!" Blaine exclaimed when he answered the phone, seeing Kurt as the caller.
"Dear, you're not very convincing, sorry…" Kurt laughed, his voice angelic at the other side of the line, making Blaine's heart speed up.
"I know, I've never been good expressing myself over text." Blaine sighed, defeated.
"That's great, because I prefer calling over texting anytime, boyfriend… So expect a lot of calls from me in the future." It sounded like Kurt had a big grin on his face and Blaine desperately wished he could see him.
"I really love hearing your voice, Kurt," Blaine answered sweetly. "I'm so happy to have you back in my life."
"Thank you for giving me a third chance, Blaine. I'm really happy we're together too." Kurt sounded shy, suddenly, and Blaine wanted to hug the awkwardness out of Kurt's body and kiss him while he had the chance.
"You're my life, Kurt, it's simple as that." And it was simple as that. Kurt belonged to Blaine and Blaine belonged to Kurt. Blaine loved Kurt and he was sure Kurt would love Blaine back in the near future.
"I need to go, Blaine. I can't wait to see you tomorrow. Will I still see you at 7?"
"Probably earlier, if you're okay with that. I don't need to please my parents anymore and my homework is pretty much done. I can come by around 3 in the afternoon?" Blaine asked, hoping Kurt had nothing planned, because he couldn't wait any longer to go see him.
"That sounds wonderful, Blaine. See you then."
"See you, sweetheart," and with a sigh, Blaine hung up the phone, already missing Kurt's voice terribly. He needed to ask for an audio of Kurt singing, so he could listen to that before bed or when he had a particular hard time.
Blaine then shot a text over to Wes, who responded immediately, saying he was coming. Blaine and Wes had decided to share a room for the weekend, since David and also Wes's roommate were out for the weekend. They prefered each other's company over being alone any time.
Blaine still couldn't handle quietness. He had experienced enough of that when Kurt wasn't talking to him, or when his parents wouldn't talk to him after him coming out to them. No, he needed sound, even if it was simply Wes who was breathing softly in the other bed when he was trying to sleep.
Three minutes later, Wes opened Blaine's room, carrying in his bedding from his own bed. He pulled off David's bedding and started making the bed again, now with his own.
"I don't want to know how long David's sleeping in this set of bedding…" Wes shuddered, which made Blaine laugh.
"Touché, Wes. Do you need to use the bathroom in the next fifteen minutes or so? I want to get ready for bed."
"No, I'm fine, you go ahead, Blainey." Wes gave his friend a big wink and Blaine laughed again, already loving this sleeping arrangement for the weekend.
"Dad, I'm nervous." Kurt worried his lip between his teeth, looking up at his father who was sitting on the couch, watching an episode of Top Gear.
Burt paused the episode and looked up, seeing his son trembling like a leaf. "Come here."
Kurt moved to his father, who had paused his programme without a second thought to talk to his son. He truly had the best father in the whole wide world and no one could convince him otherwise.
Burt patted the space next to him on the couch and as soon as Kurt had sat down, Burt wrapped his arm around Kurt's shoulders.
"I think it's good you invited Blaise over. You two need to talk one last time before you're gonna let each other go. It's still what you want, right?"
"Yes, I can't be with Blaine fully if Blaise is in my life. And I want to be with Blaine, dad. I love him."
Burt suddenly let out a booming laugh. "Ofcourse you do, buddy! Ofcourse you love Blaine."
Kurt laughed and scratched the back of his neck, suddenly shy. "The way you say it, it sounds very simple."
Burt's eyes started sparkling, and Kurt's smile grew even wider, because he loved when his father pulled this expression. "That's because it is simple. You've had your fair share of complicated love. Make it simple now. If your heart says you need to let go of Blaise, you let go of Blaise. Life isn't always easy, but love should be."
Kurt rested his head on his dad's shoulder, loving the warmth radiating from him. "You're right, dad. I want Blaine."
"Then let's tell that to Blaise, okay?" Burt smiled at his son with an assuring smile and Kurt smiled back, smiling also.
Then, the doorbell rang and Burt stood up to get Blaise inside. Kurt wiped his hands on his pants, suddenly feeling less nervous about all of this.
"Hello, Kurt," Blaise said as soon as Burt had let him inside the living room. He sat down at the coffee table, looking up at Kurt, who sat across from him, looking collected and calm.
"Hi, Blaise. Thank you for coming. Do you want a glass of water?" Kurt still remembered Blaise always drank water.
"Yes, I'd like that, Kurt," Blaise said carefully, while Kurt motioned to his father to get them both a glass of water.
"My father will be here the whole time, Blaise. Not because I think I can't control myself, but because I want him here. My father knows everything about the whole situation," Kurt explained the presence of his father, not wanting the other boy to feel like they were being watched.
"That's fine, Kurt, I don't mind." Blaise smiled reassuring, and Kurt's heart skipped a beat, but hazel eyes flashed through his mind, guiding him back to reality.
"Um, so, Blaise. I'm with Blaine now. I know you don't like Blaine and I can imagine why. But it's not his fault we didn't connect, Blaise. We were quick in our assumptions and we built our lives around it. I want a future with Blaine, I love him." Kurt smiled, because he had said it to several people now, but the boy in question still needed to know.
"You want me out of your life, right?" Blaise looked down, playing with the glass of water in front of him, but not actually drinking from it.
"Yes, I'm sorry, Blaise, but you don't fit into my life anymore."
"I get it, Kurt. Thank you for explaining. I think I'll go now. Have a good life, Kurt." And without actually sparing a glance in Burt's direction, Blaise stood up, ran towards the door and Kurt heard a car door slam and a loud sob.
"I don't like hurting people, dad." Kurt sighed and found the safe space of his father's arms again, hugging him close.
"I know, Kurt, but in this scenario, you're always hurting someone."
"I know, I'm not regretting it, but still, it's not fun," and with that Kurt had closed a chapter in his life, starting a new part of his book with Blaine Anderson, his soulmate.
Blaine found a simple, yet fashionable outfit for his date with Kurt. While they had dates before, this one felt really special, the start of their relationship. They had kissed, they both knew how much they wanted each other and they were excited for the future.
Wes then fell into Blaine's room, his eyes big and his whole body trembling. Blaine looked up, shocked and took his friend in his arms, holding him close.
"Wes, what happened?" He asked, while he positioned Wes on his bed while getting a wet cloth and pressed it to his forehead. That seemed to wake up Wes and bring him back to reality.
"Layla…" was the only word that came out of Wes's mouth.
Blaine frowned, but quickly he realised who Layla was. It was Wes's soulmate!
"Did you meet her, Wes?" Blaine asked carefully, but also really curious. Wes was usually so calm and collected. It was the only explanation why his friend was like this.
"She was right there," Wes said dreamily, staring at one point in the room, with a smile on his face. "She's beautiful, Blaine."
"Ofcourse she's beautiful, she's Wes Montgomery's soulmate!" Blaine said laughing, looking at Wes's wrist and saw the name glowing in the low light of Blaine's room.
"She bumped into me in the grocery store," Wes explained. "She told me she just moved here, that's why I never saw her before. I bet I can make her move to Westerville even better!" He then proceeded to fist bump into the air, making Blaine laugh even more.
"I'm so happy for you, dude! We can go on triple dates now, with David and Aisha and me and Kurt."
Both boys tried to ignore the painful pang they each got when thinking about two members of their group of friends. Jeff never got letters and his wrist continued to be blank, also on his 17th birthday. It was rare, but some people would never get connected to someone. It happened and Jeff claimed to be fine, but his friends saw differently.
Nick's soulmate died between his 16th and 17th birthday. One day he woke up and the name, which was almost complete, save for one letter, had been faded. Nick had felt crappy for months, but after some research they found out Nick wouldn't actually die aswell. Only when you chose to stay away from your soulmate after meeting him or her, you would die.
Nick continued to see the good in the world, though, and his friends applauded him for that. They just hoped Nick would find someone who was gonna love him. That person had to have no soulmate either, or Nick's affection for her would end in heartbreak when she would, in the end, find her soulmate.
That left Thad, who hadn't found his soulmate yet, but her name was Liv, so it was just a matter of time before he would meet her. Everyone would meet his or her soulmate, eventually. Sometimes it took patience, however.
Wes and Blaine continued chatting about Layla, Blaine wanting to know every little detail of their meeting, until it was time for Blaine to go if he wanted to be in Lima on time. He said goodbye to Wes with a tight hug and left.
Outside, he shivered. It was slightly cold for the end of spring, but nothing could dampen his spirit. He was happy to go see Kurt and he was happy for yet another one of his friends who found love and happiness.
In the car, Blaine blasted some Katy Perry through the car, not even caring when he saw several pedestrians looking at him funnily when he danced behind the steering wheel and sang along loudly. Again, nothing could dampen his spirit.
An hour and a half of dancing behind the wheel and watching the road (Blaine was no reckless driver, thank you very much), he reached Kurt's house. He saw Burt outside, working on a car. He parked his own car at the side of the street and hopped out, walking up to Burt to greet him.
"Hello sir. It's really good to see you again. I'm here to spend some time with Kurt, if you're okay with that?"
There was a lot to be said about Blaine's parents, but they did raise him to be a perfect gentleman. He saw Burt's eyes soften and a smile appeared around his lips.
"Please, Blaine, I'm not the youngest, but sir makes me feel seriously old. It's Burt for you, kid, you're my son's soulmate and boyfriend after all!"
"Noted, Burt," Blaine grinned. The first time he did meet Burt it was quick, just before Blaine picked up Kurt for a date some time before Blaise appeared in their lives.
"Kurt is inside, baking something. I'm not allowed in the kitchen and he's been there since 11 this morning. Please, kick him out or my hungry stomach will leave my body and attack him."
"Sir, yes, sir," and Blaine saluted Burt with a laugh, entering the Hudmel household through the open front door.
"Hello dude," Finn's voice sounded from the livingroom, in his hands a Playstation control and frowning at the screen, clearly in the middle of a rather harsh-looking fight. Blaine did love Kurt's step brother for greeting him, though. It made him feel welcome, which made his predictions true. He felt more welcome in the Hudmel house than in his parents house.
Blaine knocked on the kitchen door politely…
"Dad, seriously, go away! If I don't get this right, Blaine will never love me back."
With a laugh, Blaine opened the door and saw Kurt, complete with flour in his hair, standing in front of the counter, his hands deep in a bowl with dough. He looked completely adorable and Blaine just wanted to kiss him everywhere and lick him clean.
"Blaine!" Kurt yelled, cheeks red, when he turned around, the bowl still in his hands. "No, don't look there!" But Blaine already walked over to Kurt and peeked over his shoulder, where a few of cookies were cooling on a cooling rack. There were letters on the cookies and Blaine bit back a squeal. Kurt did say 'or he will never love me back' earlier, which could only mean one thing…
"I love you, my silly, weird, gorgeous, delicious boyfriend."
Kurt gasped and dropped the bowl on the counter, wrapping his arms tightly around Blaine's shoulders and pressed a sloppy, sticky kiss on his lips. Kurt's lips tasted like cookie dough and coffee and something that was just Kurt. It was Blaine's new favourite taste.
"I love you too, Blaine Anderson. I wanted to surprise you by presenting you cookies spelling exactly that, but I spoiled my own surprise by not being done on time."
"It's the thought that counts, sweetheart," and Blaine's lips were back on Kurt's, desperately wanting to taste him again. It tasted like heaven.
"I still have some batter," Kurt suggested after they pulled away from a rather hot kiss and Blaine's eyes started sparkling immediately and nodded, almost bouncing his head right off his neck.
"Let's make the best cookies we've ever eaten!" Blaine cheered and Kurt looked at him, slightly offended.
"Um, hello, I'm Kurt Hummel. It will be the best cookies you've ever eaten and will ever eat!"
"Ofcourse, darling," Blaine said dramatically, wrapping his arms around Kurt's middle and lifting him up, spinning him around.
Burt then entered the kitchen and took everything in with an amused smile.
"I see you're having fun?" He asked cheekily and moved to the fridge, grabbing a can of beer and some baby carrots to snack on. Kurt looked pleased with himself that his father reached for the carrots.
"The best, dad," and Kurt smiled as he started to clean up the baking stuff, while he handed Blaine one of the cookies he baked.
"Did he tell you?" Burt raised an eyebrow as he watched Blaine munch on the cookie with the letter 'L'.
"I told him first," Blaine said proudly, snickering when Kurt sent him a glare. "But then he said it right back and it felt amazing."
"You deserve it, guys," and Burt left the kitchen again with his food and drink, positioning himself in front of the TV, after he had chased Finn away, sending him to his friend Puck, to watch a football game.
Kurt moved gracefully through the kitchen, while Blaine washed up the things Kurt used. Blaine couldn't help but stare at Kurt every now and then, feeling this as extremely domestic. And Blaine loved every single minute of it.
"Now..." Kurt muttered after the two of them were done. "We can have fun." He took the plate with cookies from the counter and held it up, with raised eyebrows. "We can watch a movie in my room? Finn is over at Puck's, I believe."
"Yes, I'd like that." And Blaine took the plate from Kurt, while Kurt grabbed some lemonade for the two boys to drink. Then they moved up to Kurt's room and Blaine's heart skipped a beat when he realized he was gonna be in Kurt's room for the first time. With Kurt, and only with Kurt.
"You look very good, Blaine," Kurt whispered, as soon as they were inside the room and they had placed the items on the night cabinet next to Kurt's bed, and moved closer to Blaine, who in his turn moved closer to Kurt. They met in a delicious kiss, which made Blaine's toes curl.
"You look amazing aswell," Blaine breathed out against Kurt's lips. "And your lips are addictive."
Kurt laughed and claimed Blaine's lips again, because while his boyfriend was clearly overexaggerating, Kurt thought his boyfriend's lips were addictive. But maybe he was biased…
But who could blame him?
