Warblers practice was enjoyable Kurt decided. Wes had seemed lost without his gavel, much to Jeff's enjoyment. Kurt didn't really remember what had been said during the meeting, he was too busy distracting Blaine. Blaine was starting to get angry towards the end of the Warblers practice. Kurt asked him why, Blaine's exact words were 'because he can't do anything about it in a room full of people'. Kurt just laughed and continued to mindlessly harmonize in the background. They continued practicing for another half an hour. Kurt walked over to the leather couch and picked up his messenger bag. He was about to leave when Wes asked to speak with him. Kurt looked over at Blaine and raised an eyebrow. Blaine just shrugged and told him that he would see him later. Kurt clutched his bag and walked over to Wes. Wes made sure everyone was out of the room before he started to talk.
"Have a seat" Wes offered as he sat down behind the desk. Kurt eyed him skeptically as he sat down. Kurt straightened his blazer since it crinkled when he sat down. He looked up Wes.
"Am I in trouble?" Kurt asked, he noticed that Wes was still in official Warbler Wes mode.
"No Kurt, you are not in trouble" Wes said bluntly. Kurt nodded slowly.
"So… why am I here?" Kurt asked hoping it didn't sound rude.
"Because Kurt, I just wanted to apologise for the way I have been acting recently. I know that my jokes might make you uncomfortable, but they are sort of little tests that I try out on people" Wes said nonchalantly.
"Really?" Kurt asked in surprise as he arched his eyebrow. Wes nodded once and continued.
"Yes really. I know that you are leaving at the end of week and I don't know if you can see it yet but I can tell Blaine is not going to cope well when you leave. So that's why I asked you to name 5 things that you like about Blaine earlier. He looked really happy when you named them so easily. I think he really loves you" Wes said standing up from his chair. Kurt smiled to himself.
"Yea I think he does" Kurt said quietly with a big goofy smile spreading across his face. Wes chuckled quietly and Kurt looked up at him.
"What?" Kurt asked quietly remembering everything that he loved about Blaine.
"Nothing, it's just when Blaine talks about you he wears the same smile that you have on now" Wes said as he walked over to Kurt and sat on the front of the desk.
"The same stupid smile" Wes laughed, slowly shaking his head. "You love him too don't you?" Wes asked on a serious note.
"Yes, I do" Kurt said quickly, it had never been truer then before this moment.
"Good" Wes said a small smile. "It's just, he is my best friend and even if might not seem like all the time, I do worry about him. I just want him to be happy. Before he met you, he would put on that fake, practiced smile, be so polite towards everyone and never let anyone get too close to him. It took me about half a year before he opened up and told me things about himself. But since he has been with you, he has been happier than I have ever seen him and he even has a personality, I know it was a shock to all of us" Wes stopped because he saw Kurt smiling broadly. "What's so funny Hummel" Wes said trying to sound tough. Kurt smiled wider.
"Oh nothing, little Wesley cares about Blaine" Kurt said in a baby voice.
"Shut up, if you tell anyone that I can act like a normal human being, I will hunt you down-" "wow threatening a boy who's dad owns 12 rifles, hunting knives and I'm pretty sure he hides a handgun in his nightstand" Kurt said cutting off Wes. Kurt stood up and walked to stand in front of Wes. He placed his hand on Wes's shoulder and looked into his eyes.
"But thank you for caring about Blaine that means a lot. Can I ask you something?" Kurt asked. Wes nodded and Kurt continued.
"When I leave, I know Blaine will say he's fine and pretend like nothing is wrong, but can you tell me how he is really doing. You don't have to say yes if you don't want to" Kurt said quietly. Wes's head snapped up and looked at Kurt, he looked a little hurt.
"Of course I can do that. Don't be stupid" Wes retorted.
"Thank you, you are actually a decent person, did you know that?" Kurt asked, he grabbed his messenger bag from his seat and Wes and Kurt walked to the door.
"Shh, don't say that too loud, people might hear you" Wes said seriously. Kurt just laughed as they walked up the stairs.
"So Hummel, did you want to come over and watch a movie tonight. I have this new movie that is supposed to be hilarious" Wes asked as they turned into the corridor of their rooms.
"Maybe, I have to pack all of my things before my dad comes tomorrow, and I have a lot of stuff" Kurt said as they reached his door. Kurt put his key in the lock and turned the key. He slowly opened the door to reveal his room covered in clothes.
"Whoa, how do you expect to have all of this pack by tomorrow?" Wes asked as he walked into Kurt's room.
"Exactly why I have to start right now" Kurt said as he placed his bag on the floor. Wes walked over to Kurt's mirror and started to sniff the arrangement of colognes and after shaves. He picked up the Kurt's new Calvin Klein cologne and put some on.
"This smells good" Wes thought out loud.
"That would be why I bought it" Kurt said sarcastically as he walked over to Wes, took the bottle out of his hand and placed it back on the vanity. Wes moved away as Kurt straightened the rest of the bottles. Kurt looked up in the mirror to see Wes in his closet trying on his new Marc Jacobs's jacket.
"Wes!" Kurt screamed as he rushed over to Wes.
"What?" Wes asked as he turned to look in the mirror. Wes started pouting and making weird faces in the mirror.
"Can I borrow this? It looks good on me" Wes asked Kurt, not noticing how angry Kurt was.
"No! I haven't even worn it yet and anyway it looks a lot better on me than you" Kurt snapped as he delicately took the jacket off Wes.
"Don't you have somewhere to be?" Kurt snapped as he hung up the jacket back in his closet. Wes made himself at home on Kurt's unmade bed. He rested his head on Kurt's pillow and looked over at Kurt as he put his hands behind his head.
"Nope, I have the afternoon free and there is no better way to spend the afternoon then to annoy you" Wes said as he wiggled his eyes brows at Kurt.
"Lucky me" Kurt sighed loudly and pulled down his large D&G suitcase off the top of his closet. Kurt set it on his bed and walked back over to his closet. There was a knock on the door. Kurt turned to find David standing against the doorframe shaking his head.
"Well, well, well Kurt, I thought that you would run away with Blaine not Wes. Wes I'm kind of hurt that you didn't chose me" David said sarcastically as he sat next to Wes on the bed. Wes threw his arms dramatically around David neck and looked up at him with pleading eyes.
"I'm so sorry I didn't choose you, I was a fool, will you ever forgive me?" Wes pleaded. Kurt rolled his eyes as he pulled out a few jackets and placed them in the suitcase.
"Oh Wes, you were a fool in love. You weren't thinking straight" David said as he rested the back of his hand against his head.
"I should have expected it, Kurt has converted you, Kurt never thinks straight" David said even more dramatically then before. Kurt sighed exasperatedly.
"Yes, because you can catch the 'gay'" Kurt said sarcastically as he rummage in his closet.
"Aha" David exclaimed loudly. Kurt turned and looked at him strangely.
"It is true. It is contagious" David said and Wes gasped dramatically. Kurt rolled his eyes again and turned and glared at them.
"If you have nothing better to do, can you at least help me pack?" Kurt asked. David and Wes both nodded.
"Good. You can start by constructing some of the boxes" Kurt ordered, he thought that that wouldn't be too difficult for them. Kurt pointed to the flat boxes and tape and told them to get to work. Kurt went back to folding his clothes. He didn't trust them with his clothes; they would probably try them all on or spill something on them. Everything was going smoothly until Wes and David started to get bored.
"Look David, who am I?" Wes asked. He had drawn a face on one of the boxes and put it on his head. He started to shuffle.
"You're the shuffle bot" David went over to Kurt's ipod dock and started to play 'Party Rock Anthem', loudly. David drew a face on a box he made and started to shuffle with Wes. Kurt just rolled his eyes again and continued to pack his suitcase. The people, who passed by Kurt's room and looked in, just laughed.
"Kurt! Join us!" David shouted from under the box, it sounded slightly muffled, but Kurt understood.
"No" Kurt said slowly, they stood still when the music went quiet.
"Everyday I'm shuffling" Wes and David sang together and started doing the choreography from the music video. They only got the first couple of steps right and then gave up; they were pretty good Kurt had to admit. Kurt just laughed and went over to his suitcase. He placed the last handful of clothes into the suitcase and tried to zip it up. It only moved two inches and wouldn't budge anymore.
"Wes can you help me?" Kurt asked over his shoulder, Wes took the box off his head and walked over to Kurt.
"What do you need?" Wes asked and smiled widely.
"Can you sit on the suitcase while I try to zip it up?" Kurt asked. Wes jumped on the suitcase and wiggled in his spot. It compressed slightly and Kurt tried to zip it up again. Kurt managed to get another 5 inches across but it wouldn't go any further.
"David come help" Wes ordered loudly as David was still dancing around the room. David took the box of his head and pushed Kurt's hands away from the suitcase.
"I am excellent at this" David said proudly as he put his knee on the suitcase and the zip slowly made its way around the suitcase. Kurt looked at him incredulously.
"How the hell did you do that?" Kurt asked as he looked at the suitcase, Wes jumped off the suitcase and went to change the song on Kurt's ipod.
"I have 3 sisters and they always buy too much when we go on our annual trip to Paris, so I have learnt a few tricks" David said with a shrug.
"Well, thank you. Do you and Wes want to go and buy some coffee, my treat?" Kurt asked as he looked in his pocket and pulled out a $20 note.
"Sure" Wes said as he snatched the money out of his hand.
"Be back soon, don't miss us too much!" Wes said as they both blew a kiss to him and laughed as they walked out of the room. Kurt sighed in relief as his room was chaos free for now. Kurt picked up a few things off his floor and started hastily throwing them into a box. A few minutes pasted before Kurt realised no music was playing. Kurt walked over to his ipod and changed the song; he put on his favourite play list and walked over to his vanity. Kurt sung the opening lyrics to 'Aint No Way' quietly as he walked over to pick up one of the boxes off the floor. He knew Mercedes sang this better but he still adored the song. He sat down at his vanity and started sorting through the random things that had accumulated on it. He started putting some of the deodorants and hair products in the box and discarding pieces of paper that he wasn't going to pack. He found the pair of ray ban wayfarer glasses that he wore the other day when he sang 'Cooler Than Me' in the Warbler's practice room. He put them in his pocket and would give them back to Blaine later. The song ended and the opening notes to 'Baby It's Cold Outside' started to play. Kurt smiled and started to sing along.
"I really can't stay" Kurt sung as he walked over to his bed and started to make it.
"But baby it's cold outside" Kurt turned his head quickly, giving himself whiplash. He turned to find Blaine leaning against his door frame. Blaine laughed a little as Kurt started to rub his neck.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you" Blaine laughed as he walked over to Kurt.
"I wasn't scare, I was just… frightened. Shut up" Kurt said as he continued to rub his neck. Blaine just laughed at him and surveyed the room, frowning slightly. He looked a little uncomfortable in the room. He rose an eyebrow and looked over at Kurt.
"Why do the boxes have faces on them?" Blaine asked as Kurt just rolled his eyes and turned back to the vanity and continued packing his products.
"Ask Wes and David" Kurt said while slowly shaking his head.
"Ask us what?" David asked as they walked into the room. He handed Kurt his coffee and sat on Kurt's bed. Wes had a large chocolate frappe while David had something that looked like pure whipped cream with shaved chocolate through it. They had bags full of pastries.
"You didn't want change did you?" Wes asked as he put a spoonful of cream in his mouth.
"I wouldn't get any change even if I did" Kurt said in defeat.
"Yea that's true, cookie?" Wes offered a bag to Kurt. Kurt read the label.
"Granny's homemade triple choc cookies, now with more choc chips?" Kurt asked skeptically. Blaine took the bag out of Kurt's hand and opened the bag like an animal. He stuffed a handful in his mouth. Kurt arched an eyebrow and stared at Blaine.
"What? They are really good" Blaine said slightly defensively.
"Mine!" David shouted as he leaped off the bed and ripped them out of Blaine's hands.
"No!" Blaine protested. David lifted the bag above his head so Blaine couldn't reach. Kurt sighed, stood up and took the bag out of David's hands. He handed them back to Blaine and Blaine seemed to hug them.
"Happy now?" Kurt asked, Blaine nodded and poked his tongue out at David. David sat down on the bed and rifled threw the bag and found a gingerbread man and began to smile hugely.
"Na na na, I have a gingerbread man, that is way better" David said resembling a 3 year old. Kurt rolled his eyes for the umpteenth time and sighed.
"I swear I'm dealing with children in teenage bodies" Kurt said as he started to tape up the box. He took a long swig from his coffee. He needed it to get through an afternoon with these 3.
"I might be in a teenage body but I'm pretty sure Blaine is still trapped in the size of a toddler's body" David said poking fun at Blaine's height once again. Blaine just rolled his eyes as he looked over at Kurt.
"Kurt, you know that giving them coffee and sugar was probably the wrong thing to do right?" Blaine asked as he continued to eat his cookies.
"Says the one who is eating triple choc cookies" Kurt retorted as he hastily pulled a duffle bag out of his closet. He threw it at the bed almost hitting Wes.
"Watch it Hummel, I would have spilt my delicious frappe everywhere" Wes said taking another spoonful of cream. David had resorted to dunking his gingerbread man in his whipped cream. Kurt just shook his head and started pulling out his shoes from the bottom of the closet.
"Blaine, I have a question to ask you" David announced. Blaine sat down on the vanity chair and looked over at David.
"Sure, pass the biscotti's" Blaine said, he caught the packet as Wes threw them at him. Kurt busied himself in the closet.
"How come you haven't hugged Kurt yet?" David asked as he spooned more cream on the gingerbread man.
"What do you mean? I have hugged Kurt tuns of times" Blaine said nonchalantly as he took a bite of the biscotti.
"No I mean now. You have just sat there and ate your food; you are usually trying to do everything to get your hands on Kurt, even if you don't realise that you trying to" David said as he looked over at Blaine who was chewing his biscotti. Kurt put a pair of cherry red converse shoes in his bag an answered the question for Blaine.
"He doesn't have to hug me every time he sees me" Kurt said as he walked back over to his closet. It seems like every time he packs something more clothes appear.
"Yes he does. Its part of the unwritten boyfriend code. I hug my girlfriend every time I see her" David retorted.
"Well I guess we will never understand a heterosexual relationship" Kurt quipped. Wes cracked a smile.
"Guess so" David continued. Blaine just crossed his arms over his chest and thought about his answer.
"Thanks for helping me guys" Kurt said sarcastically as he started stacking his magazines into a box.
"No problem" David said like a smart ass. Wes hopped off the bed and knelt next to Kurt and started to help him with the magazines.
"What? Does Kurt have koodies of something?" David said taunting Blaine. Kurt snorted at the question. Wes stood up and walked over to grab the sticky tape.
"Koodies? Seriously David?" Kurt asked as he took the tape from Wes. Kurt found where the tape ended and started to pick at it until it unravelled.
"Does Kurt smell or something? Is that the reason?" David asked Blaine. Wes leant over to Kurt and sniffed Kurt. Kurt looked at him quizzically.
"No, he actually smells really good, you know in a non creepy way" Wes said slightly back tracking.
"Um thank you?" Kurt said as his forehead scrunched up slightly.
"Come on Blaine there has to be a reason" David pressed. Blaine turned and glared at David.
"Just drop it, will you" Blaine snapped angrily. Kurt froze, Blaine never got anger at Wes or David, no matter how annoying they got. David didn't take the hint and kept pestering him. Kurt looked up at Wes, who was next to him helping him tape the box up, who wore the same expression. This cant be good.
"Nope, I don't understand. You are not acting like yourself and I don't understand why. You usually try to even acknowledge that Kurt exists but you have just sat there and stuffed your face, you could have at least shook his hand or something slightly arousing" David said and wriggled his eyebrows.
"Fine!" Blaine shouted and stormed over to Kurt. He pulled Kurt up hastily by the lapel of his blazer. Blaine imprisoned Kurt against him firmly and trapped there lips together as Blaine held onto both sides of Kurt's face with his hands tightly. It wasn't romantic, frankly it was quite scary. Kurt crammed his fists against Blaine's chest and threw him back. They both stood there dumbfounded. Kurt wiped his lips and glare fiercely at Blaine.
"What the hell Blaine?" Kurt screamed shaking slightly as fury built up in him. Blaine saw David mouth 'awkward' at Wes.
"This is your fault!" Blaine shouted at David throwing his hands in the air.
"How is it my fault? I didn't just assault Kurt" David vociferated. Kurt just stood in his spot and crossed his arms over his chest, in sort of a protected way. Blaine stepped forward to touch Kurt but Kurt stepped back. Blaine turned and sat on the vanity chair, crossed his arms and pouted petulantly.
"Hey guys, can you give us a minute?" Kurt asked quietly. Wes nodded.
"Sure Kurt we will just be outside" Wes said as the walked to the door, dragging David off the bed. Kurt heard David whisper "But I wanna watch" Wes pushed David through the door, closing it behind them quietly. Kurt stood in his spot and frowned at Blaine.
"Look, I'm not going to ask you if you're ok because it's obvious that your not" Kurt said bluntly as he tried to figure out what the hell had just happened.
"Kurt, I'm sorry it was very rude and impolite of me to act in that way and I promise I will never do it again" Blaine said very politely.
"Don't even" Kurt said bitterly, crossing his arms across his chest harder.
"What?" Blaine asked as if he didn't know.
"Don't even use that fake polite bullshit on me, I can see straight through it and it is not doing you any favours at the moment" Kurt retorted. Blaine sighed and looked into Kurt's eyes.
"I don't even know why I got angry and did that. I'm sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable" Blaine said earnestly. Kurt took a seat on his bed and took a deep breath.
"Blaine you scared me so much. The last time someone kissed me like that was, Karofsky" Kurt said quietly as his voice caught on the last word. Blaine's head sunk to his hands and started to shake his head. "I guess you didn't think of that?" Kurt said slowly. He felt scared when Blaine kissed him but seeing him feel this bad made Kurt want to comfort Blaine. Kurt felt slightly guilty.
"Oh god Kurt I didn't even think of that. I'm so so so sorry. I'm so stupid" Blaine said, and Kurt could tell that he was beating himself up. Kurt felt bad. He reached over and took Blaine's hands away from his face. Kurt smiled at Blaine reassuringly.
"Hey, it's ok" Kurt cooed as he brushed a curl away from Blaine's face. "I know you didn't mean it. David was being an idiot" Blaine just looked up at him and shook his head
"That is no excuse for the way I acted or what I did" Blaine took a deep breath before he continued. "I think that, just seeing your room start to dissolve into nothing and almost everything is packed up. I'm just struggling with it you know? I know that you leaving isn't the end of us, but it feels like I'm losing you" Blaine asked quietly.
"You are never going to lose me. Even if you tried" Kurt said with a cheeky smile. "Just don't ever do that to me again ok?" Kurt asked while he rubbed the back of Blaine's hand with his thumb.
"Kurt I so sorry that I did it the first time, I feel so bad; I can't believe that I reminded you of Karofsky. Karofsky, how bad is that?" Blaine said emphasizing on the word 'bad'.
"It's ok, I can see that you feel terrible, but I forgive you. Don't beat yourself up. You made a mistake, its ok" Kurt said reassuringly as he stroked Blaine's cheek. Blaine let out a breath and started to shake his head slowly as a small smile tugged at his lips.
"What?" Kurt asked softly and copied Blaine's smile.
"How do you always know how to say?" Blaine asked.
"One of my many talents" Kurt said trying to lighten the mood.
"I better let them back in, they are still waiting outside" Blaine said as he stood up. He walked past Kurt and Kurt caught his hand. Blaine looked down to meet Kurt's gaze.
"They can wait a little longer" Kurt said sheepishly as he kissed Blaine delicately on the lips, Kurt felt Blaine hesitate, but tried not to let it get to him.
"See much better" Kurt teased as Blaine stood up and walked over to the door. He stopped behind the door and made a loud bang against the door. Blaine opened the door to find both boys rubbing their ears. Blaine smiled and held the door open.
"Serves you right for eavesdropping" Kurt taunted as both boys walked through the door. They walked in and sat down on Kurt's bed. Blaine was now sitting back in the chair next to the vanity. Blaine was sniffing a tube of hair product.
"This stuff smells nice, what is it?" Blaine asked as Kurt walked over to him. Kurt picked it up and read the label. "It's just a product that controls curly, frizzy hair" Kurt said as he picked up the box with all his other hair products.
"And you never thought that my hair might need controlling?" Blaine said as he looked through the other products in the box Kurt was holding.
"I have, many times" Kurt said as he ruffled Blaine's hair as he walked passed. "But it would take a 12 step program to wean you off hair gel" Kurt said teasingly.
"Ha, burn" David said as he held his fist out to Kurt. Kurt fist bumped David and stared at the boxes and bags. Kurt looked between the bags and his closet. He placed a finger on his lips and thought.
"I'm going to need more bags" Kurt said to himself. He pulled out his iphone and started to compose a text to his dad.
"Or you could stop and we could go watch that movie" Wes said to Kurt. Kurt looked up as he pressed the send button and thought about the question.
"Yeah I think that is a good idea, I'm sick of packing and I'm not getting much done with everyone in here" Kurt added with a smirk."The movie sounds good, I will be up in a minute" Kurt said as Wes pushed himself off Kurt's bed.
"See ya soon" Wes said, he was smiling extremely wide, Kurt just shook it off and didn't think too much of it. David followed after Wes and they both walked to Wes's room. Kurt started to stack the boxes on one side of the room, Blaine handed Kurt a box and looked at him scrupulously.
"Everything ok?" Kurt asked concern thick in his voice. Blaine just shook his head and looked up at Kurt, melancholy taking over him.
"I just still feel so bad" Blaine said and looked away from Kurt. Kurt put the box down and placed his hands around the back of Blaine's neck. Kurt moved his head so he could catch Blaine's eyes.
"Hey, look at me" Kurt said softly, hesitantly Blaine looked up at Kurt.
"It's ok. I don't think that you believe me. I just want you know that I forgive you, I have dealt with things a lot worse than that before" Kurt said quietly. Blaine huffed and averted his eyes again.
"Yea that makes me feel better" Blaine said sarcastically. Kurt pulled Blaine closer to him and Blaine wrapped his arms tightly around Kurt's waist. Blaine rested his head on Kurt's shoulder and sighed. Kurt gently rubbed Blaine's back and kissed him on the top of the head.
"Better?" Kurt asked quietly. Blaine just nodded against Kurt shoulder. Kurt kissed Blaine head again softly. Kurt pulled back and looked deeply into Blaine's eyes.
"We better go to your room, Wes will be waiting" Kurt said as he brushed a lock of hair away from Blaine's face. Blaine looked at Kurt with a pained expression.
"Do we really have to waste a night with Wes?" Blaine asked seriously. Kurt just smiled lightly and continued to look into Blaine's big hazel eyes.
"We don't have to focus on Wes if that's what you mean" Kurt said coyly. Blaine nodded expressionlessly and unravelled himself from Kurt. Kurt tried not to let it bother him but it was starting to.
"Hey, smile, you look amazing when you smile" Kurt cooed, Blaine smiled weakly at Kurt. Kurt rolled his eyes and took Blaine's hand in his.
"It's a start" Kurt said with a smile, as he dragged them out of his room and locked his door.
