So I can't lie, I had lost all inspiration for all my stories. I then went on holiday again just after I posted my last chapter. Whilst relaxing n the sun and the peace I decided I wanted to write some chapters for my fanfiction but I hadn't got my computer. So I picked up paper and pen and remembered why I love writing, I didn't have any of the laid out plot ideas with me so I let my imagination run wild and my quality of writing improved dramatically (as I hope you will see). So a word of advice, if you're struggling with updating your stories, try switching to pen and paper if you haven't already, I don't know why but it really helps! And so I'm back! Xxx
Adam looked around at the apartment – he couldn't lie, it was an absolute tip.
"I need to get it all tidy so I can lend it out to friends while I'm away, but I'm never going to be able to tidy it and pack and be on time!"
"Kurt…." Adam said in a soothing voice, "I have an idea."
"What!" Kurt almost snapped he was so desperate.
"How about we just worry about the packing today and I could come back throughout the week and make it spotless…if you would be willing to leave me with a spare set of keys of course…" Adam started of enthusiastically but finished of nervously as he realised what he was asking. To his relief Kurt threw himself at Adam and caught him in a massive hug.
"Of course I would be willing to Adam! You're my best friend! That's an amazing and welcome plan if it's not too much of a hassle to you?"
"It would be my pleasure Mr Hummel, now let's go get you packed – and quickly!"
The two men left the apartment and headed towards the lift – dragging two large suitcases each. Adam had, like a true gentleman, offered to take the two heaviest and was slightly out of breath by the time he reached the elevator doors. Kurt pressed the button to call it up and the two men stood there, side by side, waiting. They knew each other enough to tell that the other was just as sad as themselves, and neither quite knew what to say.
Adam decided on small talk to ease the silence that had fallen between the two.
"Blimey Kurt," He half gasped, "What have you got in these cases?!" Adam had packed the other two cases, and wasn't quite sure how Kurt had managed to get the ones that he packed so much heavier – they were the same sizes after all and it wasn't like Adam had left the other two half empty. All four suitcases had to have both men stand on them before they reluctantly shut.
Kurt just looked at him and gave him his classic death stare, but with a smile – he was only joking.
"Hey, don't blame me!" Adam joked back, "I'm just concerned – well more like certain – they're going to be over the weight limit."
"Oh no, that doesn't matter – I just have to pay some extra money and it's allowed." Kurt replied off-handed.
"Umm, Kurt, I'm pretty sure that's called a 'fine'" Said Adam with mock shock.
"Oh go away." Replied Kurt giving Adam a playful shove. Their messing around was stopped by the arrival of the lift. The two men got in, cramming the suitcases in with them. It turned out to be a very tight squeeze.
Adam was to leave Kurt when they reached the ground floor. There would be many paparazzi at the airport so Kurt would only go in there with a bodyguard and two hired assistants – to help with the luggage. Adam hadn't asked but he suspected that the airline would have given Kurt a free upgrade to first class. Kurt was going to have a very enjoyable flight – in Adam's opinion. But in Kurt's head, his thoughts took the opposite view. No matter what class – he was not going to enjoy a second of the journey. For he would be immensely sad over leaving England and the man he cared for there. He was going to miss Adam. He felt like a child again as he wished he could pack him away in his suitcase and take him with him. He thought of all the things he would love to show Adam back in America, his hometown, his culture and his friends – but that was all Kurt's imagination and right now he had to do the thing he hated most – face reality…and say goodbye.
But the question was how? What to say? One simple word wasn't going to be good enough. He was going to have to say more than 'goodbye'. So he started off with the thank you's which, he knew, would inevitably lead to the farewells.
"Thanks so much Adam….." Kurt started to say awkwardly. "Not just for everything you've done today, but for everything you've done since you read that letter." That letter that started it all. Kurt was starting to feel really sad now; he hoped he wouldn't tear up as they parted.
"That's ok Kurt." Adam sounded as if he had a lump in his throat. Maybe he did. "It makes up for everything you've done for me. Thank you." Kurt decided, upon hearing this, that he didn't want to talk anymore. He wasn't sure he could. Instead he just pulled Adam towards him and hugged him, burying his head on Adam's shoulder. And Adam hugged him back, wrapping his arms around Kurt's waist. "I'm gonna miss you so much Kurt, London's going to seem so dull without you in it."
"I'm going to miss you too Adam, but you're going to have a great time here. You've got your new job and new apartment and a whole city to explore."
"But no friends to explore it with," Came Adam's sad and quiet reply.
"You'll find some." Kurt whispered back, just as the elevator doors opened. The two of them jumped apart just as Kurt's driver entered the lift to take away the suitcases to put them in the car. Adam and Kurt helped him and neither spoke again until all four cases were packed away in the boot and the driver was sat behind the wheel.
"Well….bye then…." Kurt said sadly – not meeting Adam's gaze.
"Come back to visit soon yeah?" Adam said as they embraced for the last time.
"I will Adam, I promise."
"Well you best get going or you're going to miss your plane, and after all that bother this morning that would be extremely annoying." Adam chuckled as they pulled apart – trying to sound light hearted, but failing to hide the upset in his voice.
"Yes." And with that Kurt climbed into the car and told the driver to go. Adam watched and waved as the car drove along the drive, and out of the gates.
Cheer me up with a review! :) xxx
