So this idea came to me while I was writing the last chapter. I hope it turns out good, because it's definitely my favorite idea yet besides the hair chapter. That one's by far my favorite.
Anyway, I'm going through Internet withdraw. But on the bright side, i wrote a oneshot filled w/ AVPM quotes! Expect it to be up soon!
But I saw on tv today that Darren Criss is now an official cast member! But Chord Overstreet (If that's his name…Sam on glee) is not anymore, that he'll just have an every now and then kind of roll. Like him and Darren are switching places (which I am NOT complaining about, I just wonder what's gonna happen with Samcedes, since it was literally only hinted at)
So we went horseback riding,(my inspiration for the previous chapter) and, once again, I couldn't help but think "What would I do if I met Darren Criss here?" (If you guys can't tell, I day dream a lot up here.)
In this day dream, he had a job as a stable boy (why he was a stable boy, I don't know), so while I was picking out my horse he was cleaning the stables. I saw him and recognized him and flipped. He told me to be quiet and that he was there so he wouldn't be recognized. He showed me his favorite horse, and then that was the one I rode. He came along with the group of riders, and he rode beside me the whole time. Then, at the end, he gave me a red vine with his number on it (cheesy, but I love cheesy stuff like that) and we lived happily ever after.
Seeing a resemblance with the endings of these daydreams? ;)
Anyway, I suggest that while you aren't reading this fanfic or waiting on my updates, that you read Dalton by CP Coulter. It's pure genius.
Or you could read Kiss by foraworldunderserving. It's amazing and I absolutely love all of her stuff.
Anyway, these author notes are getting ridiculously long so I'll just get to it now. I'm not quite sure what Kurt's middle name is, but I know it starts with an E and I know its one of two names. Keep that in mind. And yes, I am team Finchel as it is mentioned in here, but I'm hoping for the day that Fintney (Finn and Britney) comes along.
Kurt had brought Blaine home again, this time to actually have a relaxing weekend that wasn't bothered by Wes and David, or the impending doom of telling his father.
They were currently curled up on the couch, watching Mulan. It was a wonderful movie, but it became even better when Blaine started singing along to I'll Make a Man Out of You.
"Blaine Anderson," Kurt scolded, shocked, "You didn't mention that you knew all the words to that song!"
Blaine blushed furiously, "It never came up…"
Kurt sighed and went back to watching the movie. About fifteen minutes later, Kurt excused himself to go get a sweater from his bedroom. When he arrived in his room, Finn's clothes were spread everywhere, even on his side of the room.
"FINN CHRISTOPHER HUDSON!" Kurt screeched at the top of his lungs. He could hear Blaine's velvety laugh and then Finn thumping towards the door, also laughing.
"Yes, Kurt Ethan Hummel?" He said as he started walking down the stairs. He saw what was bugging Kurt and quickly went to apologize, "Oh, man, yeah sorry about that. I'll clean it up right now, just go back upstairs and keep Blaine company."
Kurt huffed and began to trudge up the stairs when they heard Burt's voice boom down, "What did he say your middle name was?"
Kurt tried not to blush, "Ethan. He knows that my middle name is Ethan." He told his dad, trying to plead with his eyes and voice not to say anything else.
Unfortunately, he didn't catch on. "But that's not your middle name…" Burt stated trailing off. "Oh!" he added as a second thought, "Oh, yeah. Ethan. Right."
Kurt gave him a look that said Stop talking and get out. Burt nodded slightly and made his way back to the garage.
Finn looked confused. "So Ethan isn't your middle name?" He asked, "Or is it…because…" Kurt stopped listening to Finn think out loud and went back up the stairs to Blaine.
He sat down with a huff before noticing that Blaine was staring at him, an amused expression on his face. "You lied to Finn about your middle name?" He asked.
Curse him, Kurt thought, Why can he always see straight through me?
"No…" Kurt said, but Blaine cut him off.
"Kurt, I can tell by the look on your face that that is not true." He told him, "Now the question is," he paused, giving a suspicious glance at Kurt, "What's your real middle name, and why did you want to lie about it?"
Kurt blushed but didn't say anything.
"I'll find out, you know." Blaine stated, "I've got my sources."
Kurt gave him a crooked smile, "If you mean Wes and David, then I wish you the best of luck."
Blaine smirked at him, "Maybe my source was Finn…" he said, winking.
"Pshhh!" Kurt responded, "Ask him right now. I dare you."
Blaine laughed and kissed his forehead again. "You're on," he said to him, and then louder, "Hey Finn!"
Finn came thudding up the stairs, "What, dude? I'm trying to clean my mess up so your boyfriend doesn't have a coronary."
Before Blaine could respond, Kurt looked at Finn shocked, "Coronary? That's a big word for you!"
Finn shot Kurt a look, "Mr. Shue might have said it the other day in the same context, just he was talking to me and referring to Rachel…"
Kurt laughed, "That explains it!"
"Shut up!" Finn yelled mockingly, "What did you want, bro?" He asked, turning to Blaine who was slightly startled at being called 'bro.'
"Oh yeah," Blaine said, trying to remember after having been distracted by the previous conversation, "What's Kurt's middle name?"
Finn gave him a confused look, "Did you not just hear that whole conversation? Cuz I'm pretty sure that I'm not even a hundred percent sure what went on…"
"So you don't know?"
"Nah, man. I thought it was Ethan, but then his dad came and sai-" Finn started, but Blaine cut him off seeing that it was clearly going to hurt the other boy's head to keep thinking that hard.
"Never mind, Finn. Go back to your business."
Finn blinked a few times before sauntering back down the stairs to clean up his mess so his brother wouldn't have a coronary, whatever that was. I wonder if it's a kind of food, Finn thought, or maybe an animal. Like how people say they're gonna have a cow…
After Finn left, Kurt looked at Blaine again. "See? That was completely useless and a huge waste of time."
Blaine just laughed, staring into Kurt's eyes. "Yeah, but he wasn't my source anyway."
"I figured." Kurt added dryly.
Blaine kissed his temple, "You can tell me when you're ready. But in the meantime, I'll have to go ask my real sources when we get back to school. And they may or may not be Wes or David."
Kurt laughed as he leaned his forehead against Blaine's, "Well you're not getting it out of me anytime soon, so they seem to be your only option." He paused for a moment, "And I knew they were your 'sources'."
"Dang," Blaine said, in an eerily soothing way, "I was hoping you would just tell me so I could save myself all that pain and agony."
"Nope," Kurt said, running his hand through Blaine's curly hair, "That's what you deserve for trying to figure out my middle name."
Once Kurt went off to bed, Blaine pulled out his laptop and went to Facebook. He silently thanked Burt for making him sleep on the couch. Wow, he thought, Never thought I'd say that.
He went to Kurt's Facebook page and sighed when he saw the name. Kurt E. Hummel. He was hoping that something would have been given away, but nothing. Kurt was definitely good at keeping things a secret when he didn't want them to be known.
Blaine thought for a few moments about what some names that started with E could be. Edward, Edison, Edmund, Eli…but none of them seemed very Kurt-like.
He then texted Wes, knowing it would be a long shot but trying nonetheless.
Do you know Kurts middle name? –Blaine
He waited a few minutes, which was longer than normal. He finally got two messages in response, one from Wes and one from David.
Nope. It says it starts with an E on facebook ;) –Wes
Ask Mercedes –David
Blaine grinned wildly at David's text. He was a pure genius.
You're a genius! –Blaine
He knew David would get a kick out of that one.
About time someone recognized it –David
Blaine laughed and searched his phone for Mercedes' number. He found it and sent a quick text.
Do you know Kurt's middle name? –Blaine
He waited and hoped and prayed that Mercedes was still awake.
Yes –M
That was the response Blaine got. He was becoming frustrated as he punched in the next message furiously.
Enlighten me? –Blaine
He got a response a few seconds later.
I cant. I've been given strict orders. –M
Of course Kurt would have already thought that he would ask her. He set his phone down, only to see it light up again a few seconds later.
Good try, but it's not going to be that easy. Im ahead of you at this point…and I'm winning. Blaine 0, Kurt 1. –Kurtie xoxo
Blaine groaned. His boyfriend should be a spy, because seriously, this was ridiculous. He sighed and sent a response.
Go to sleep and don't worry about me, Kurt E. Hummel. I'll figure out a way to get ahead –Blaine xxx
He waited for Kurt's response anxiously, even though he was just below him, only a floor separating them.
Good luck –Kurt E. Hummel
P.s. u wish u knew what the e was ;)
Blaine groaned again and turned his phone off, not wanting to be taunted anymore.
They next day, they were driving back to Dalton when the subject came up again.
"So, Kurt E. Hummel," Blaine said nonchalantly.
"So, Blaine Darren Anderson," Kurt retorted.
That caused Blaine to pause, "How'd you know my middle name?"
Kurt smirked, looking at Blaine playfully. "Unlike you, I know how to find information out about people." He stated simply.
Blaine glanced at him, "That sounds...suspicious."
"Don't worry about me," Kurt stated, "I can take care of myself. And you, for that matter. But apparently you don't know how to find out a simple little fact about me."
Blaine groaned, praying that they would arrive soon so he could be out of the car. "I will find out, you know," he said, then paused. "If I guess right will you tell me?" He asked after a few minutes of silence.
Kurt nodded.
"Okay…" He started, "is it Eli?"
"No."
"Edison?"
"Nope."
"Hmm…Everett?" Blaine asked, hopeful at that one because it sounded like a name Kurt would like.
"Uhh, let me think…No." Kurt said, now playing with Blaine's brain, "You're never going to guess it. I would bet money on that."
"Edward?" Blaine asked, trying again.
"Really? I'm not some blood crazy vampire!" Kurt admonished.
"Sorry, but it is a nice name," Blaine said defending himself.
"No!" Kurt screeched, "Do not tell me you have a thing for Edward Cullen."
Blaine blushed slightly, "Only in the books…"
"You read the books?" Kurt asked incredulously.
"Please," Blaine scoffed, "Like you haven't."
Kurt blushed a little at that and said, "Touché. Now that we're even, let's change the subject before I can get ahead again."
When they arrived at Dalton, Wes and David were waiting to greet them at the door.
"Welcome back Kurt E. Hummel and Blaine D. Anderson!" David said enthusiastically.
"Ugh," Kurt groaned, "I should have known you two would have already been involved."
"Yup," Wes piped in, "We couldn't stay away from something as big as this."
"How is a middle name big?" Kurt asked, "Maybe E is just my middle name. Some people do that, just have one letter…"
"Not people like Kurt Hummel," Wes said, "You're way to extravagant not to have a middle name."
"Agreed," David added.
Blaine just stood there, nodding and smiling.
"Don't worry, Blainey-Boy, we'll figure out his middle name," Wes said, patting him reassuringly on the shoulder.
"Yeah, we won't sleep until we figure it out," David added, glancing at Wes and giving him a look that said We better get to work.
They searched for hours. They googled, they texted Kurt's old friends, they even searched baby names that started with E but came up with nothing that seemed to fit Kurt.
"Maybe it's not an actual name," Wes said, sounding exhausted.
"I don't know, but who knew this would be so hard." David retorted.
Wes had an idea, "What's his dad's middle name?"
David cruised around on the internet before coming up with an answer. "Andrew." David responded, and then paused. "That can't be it."
Wes sighed, "Obviously," he said sarcastically, "Does he have any other relatives?"
David stared at the screen for a few minutes, "Only his mom Elizabeth who died when he was eight…" he trailed off, his eyes going wide. "Wes…"
But Wes didn't need to be told. "You don't think…"
David just nodded, "It's got to be. It makes perfect sense."
"Well then," Wes stated, "We've got to get Blaine and his little lover over here."
Blaine had gotten a call from Wes telling him to get Kurt and come to their room. He wondered if they had made any progress in the middle name search, but was almost positive they haven't.
They were walking in silence, their hands swaying between them. They arrived at the door, and it swung open before Kurt's fist hit it to knock.
"Welcome," Wes said excitedly.
He ushered them in, signaling for them to sit on his bed.
"Now fellas," David started, "We've made a discovery."
"But," Wes added, "We aren't giving it away so easily. We're going to play a bit of a…shall we say… game first."
Blaine gave Kurt an uncertain look before David could continue explaining. "We're going to play Guess Who."
Kurt and Blaine were both familiar with that game, so they just nodded tentatively in agreement. "We're doing teams," Wes stated, "Me and David, and you two."
Blaine just nodded, glancing at Kurt who had suddenly gone pale. He was staring at the list of names.
"Pick a card," David instructed, "We've already got ours."
Blaine picked the card randomly, noting that it was a boy wearing a green hat named Billy. Where is this going? He wondered.
"I'll go first," Wes said, "Is your person a boy or girl?"
"Boy," Kurt croaked, his voice cracking.
Wes flicked down all his girls and then ushered for either Kurt or Blaine to ask. Kurt signaled for Blaine to go. "Erm…is yours a boy or girl?"
A smirk spread across David's face, "Girl," he answered, "Much to our surprise," he added, staring directly at Kurt.
What does that mean? Blaine thought.
Meanwhile, Kurt was thinking. They know. Oh god, they know!
"My turn!" David all but yelled. He asked his question, flicked down his pieces and waited.
Blaine told Kurt to go, Kurt hesitating slightly but continuing on, "Is…Does your person have blonde hair?" He asked, already knowing the answer would be yes.
"Yup," Wes said, glancing at Kurt.
The game continued on. Blaine noticed that Kurt seemed to already know who their person was, and he wondered why he wouldn't just call them out already. It would put them out of their misery so much faster.
Finally, they were down to two pieces left standing. It was Blaine's turn to ask, so he was going to risk it and just guess on one of them. "Is your person Elizabeth?"
Wes smiled hugely, and nodded. Blaine was confused as to why Wes was smiling like an idiot when he'd just lost. He glanced at Kurt, expecting a high five or something, only to find Kurt blushing and looking at the ground.
"Kurt?" he said, "What's wrong?"
"You don't know yet?" He squeaked back.
"Know what…?" Blaine asked, confused.
"God, Blaine!" Wes shouted, "You're the most hard-headed person I know, it's official."
"What-" Blaine started, but Wes went on talking.
"Think about it Blaine," he was saying, "Elizabeth. Elizabeth. EEEElizabeth." He noticed Blaine still didn't comprehend, so he went on, "You should have said, instead of is your person, you should have asked, is your middle name…"
"Oh," Blaine stated after a few moments, "Oh! OH!"
"Oh, is right!" David said.
Blaine glanced at Kurt, who was avoiding his gaze. "Is Elizabeth your middle name?" he asked him, trying to remain gentlemanly.
"It was my mother's name," Kurt said in a small voice.
"So why do you have a girl's middle name?" Wes asked, earning a glare from Blaine.
Kurt blushed, "My middle name was originally Ethan," he said, pausing to take a deep breath, "But when…when she died, I wanted to change it, so that I would always have a part of her with me…" He sniffled, "My dad said that was when he knew I was…that I was gay, because any other boy would rather be caught dead than to have a girl's middle name," he told them, laughing slightly, "It just fits me, I guess."
Blaine was staring at his boyfriend, mouth agape, "You could have told me that, you know?"
"I know," Kurt said, "It's just not something I like to talk about. I figure it's easier for people to believe my middle name's Ethan. Elizabeth screams gay even more, so…yeah."
Blaine laughed, "Kurt, you already scream gay."
Kurt just nodded, "I know, but I feel like that would be the final punch, like sealing the deal in my slow, painful demise." He laughed to show Blaine that he was kidding.
Blaine glanced up and noticed that Wes and David had left the room. He wasn't sure when, but he would have to remember to thank them later. "Well I like it," he told Kurt, "It suits you and your extravagant personality."
Kurt gave Blaine a loving smile, savoring the moment.
A few minutes later, Blaine broke the silence. "I told you I would figure it out," Blaine said with a chortle, "I never lie."
Kurt just laughed and leaned in, giving Blaine a long slow kiss. After a few minutes of bliss, he broke away. "Let's go back to our room. It's been a long day."
Blaine laughed his eyes soft and loving. "As you wish, Kurt Elizabeth Hummel. As you wish."
So I'm pleased with how this turned out. Very, very pleased. Yes, I put a Princess Bride reference at the end there, but I couldn't resist.
And that little twilight snippit is totally how I feel about Edward. I love him in the books, he's perfect, but the movies are just so overrated. So are the books, but Edward's the only character I like.
I'm not sure how I feel at the possibility of Kurt's middle name being Elizabeth, but if it were that's the reason I would want it to be.
And yes, I put both Darren's name in there and his middle name, Everett. I love both those names, btw, and not just because they're his names.
For anyone who doesn't know, Guess Who is a game where theres two board things with little windows that have people's faces in them, about 20 or so. Each person takes turns asking questions and eliminating the possibilities until there is only one face left. It's pretty simple but quite fun when bored. I figured it would work in this scene nicely.
So I realized there hasn't been any Bri or Dana lately. Do you guys want some? Cuz I would gladly do some, but idk if you guys like them or not.
Man, I'm starting to write a lot in author's notes. Idk what's become of me!
And did you know there are horizontal rulers? I just found that out! So i don't have to use my ….. things anymore. Ahaha. I'm a challenged person :p
