Chapter 21- Mouse in the house

Kurt was up in his room, working through his homework when he heard Carol shriek from down stairs. Kurt bolted up and quickly scrambled of the bed and dashed downstairs to see if she was OK.
"What happened?" Kurt demanded as he found Carol cowering on the kitchen bench, feet tucked up under her.

"There's a mouse," squeaked Carol, pointing to the fridge. Kurt followed her gaze and looked to the mouse huddling by the door of the fridge. Kurt's eyes widened and he slowly licked his lips.
"I've got it," Kurt said quietly and he snuck up on the mouse. Kurt licked her lips again and then dove for the mouse. The mouse bolted, Carol squealed and Kurt went chasing after it. Carol watched in awe as Kurt chased the mouth, an evil glint in his eyes. The mouse went running out of the kitchen and into the living room.

"Kurt!" Carol cried but Kurt ignored her, chasing after the mouse. It ran under the table and Kurt knocked the chairs out of the way, eager to grab it. He wiggled under the table and pushed more chairs out of the way, knocking them down to the ground. He scrambled after it and into the living room. Kurt chased it around the room, knocking over a lamp where is smashed to the ground. The mouse ran through the glass and Kurt lunged for it. Kurt hissed as the glass cut him but he wasn't about to give up on catching this mouse.
"Kurt!" Carol cried. "Kurt stop!"
Kurt ignored her and continued after the mouse.

Burt had taken Finn and Blaine out to see a basketball game. Kurt wasn't so much into them so he was more than happy to let Blaine go to it with Finn and his dad. Blaine had a great time but he wished Kurt had been there with him.
Finn and Blaine were singing along to the radio on the way back and he saw Burt smiling. The pulled up the Hummel home and jumped out of the car.

They were walking to the door when they heard a crash and the froze.
"Kurt, no stop!" Carol yelled from inside. All three of them went running to the door and bolted inside, slamming the door open and racing down the hall.
They stared around the room. The house was a mess, furniture upturned, glass showering the ground.

Carol was standing there looking pale and slightly disgusted. Kurt was holding a dead mouse in his hands. There was blood around his mouth and he was grinning. Blaine's eyes widened as he put together Kurt appearance and grin. Kurt had caught the mouse and killed it.
"What the hell happened?" Finn breathed.
"There was a mouse," Carols aid weakly, shock on her face.
"You caught the mouse," Burt said, looking to Kurt. Kurt beamed and nodded, holding it up.

He practically skipped over to Blaine and held it out for him. Blaine looked to the mouse and back to Kurt's beaming face.
"It for you," Kurt said, wiggling the mouse a bit.
"For me?" Blaine repeated, a little confused and a bit disgusted. Kurt grinned wider and nodded.
Blaine stared at the mouse again. Kurt's smile began to fade and Burt knew what was coming.
"If you know what's good for you, you'll take the mouse," Burt whispered in Blaine's ear.

Blaine reached out and took the mouse by the tail, forcing a smile on to his face.
"Thank you," Blaine said.
Kurt smile was the brightest Blaine had ever seen it. Blaine looked to Burt who was smiling in amusement. Finn looked disgusted along with Carol.
"Hey buddy, why don't you go get cleaned up," Burt suggested. Kurt looked down at himself and grimaced.
"Yeah, OK," Kurt said.
"Don't forget to brush your teeth," Burt said. "And you bleeding."

Kurt nodded and headed up stairs. Blaine and Finn were still staring at the mouse.
"Why did Kurt give me a mouse?" Blaine asked, thoroughly confused.
"It's a gift of love," Burt said, looking amused. Everyone looked to him.
"Really? A mouse?" Finn asked.
"He caught it all by himself and killed it," Burt explained. "He did it for Blaine. He wants you to be proud of him."

"I am," Blaine said quickly. "I just didn't really need the mouse."
"Yeah," Burt chuckled and took the mouse from Blaine and chucked it in the bin. "You might want to get used to it."
"He's done this before?" Carol asked.
"All the time when he was a kid," Burt said. "His mum too. I would come home to two dead mice being presented to me."

Carol scrunched her nose in disgust.
"That's disgusting," Finn grimaced.
"Whatever you do, don't let them hear you," Burt said seriously. "It will take you ages to get them to talk to you again."
"Really?' Blaine asked, curious.
"Yep. I made the mistake of telling Kurt's mum once," Burt said, shaking his head. "It took me two weeks for me to get her to talk to me again."

"Thanks for the advice," Blaine said quickly.
"If Kurt asks, the mouse is in your car," Burt said and Blaine nodded.
Kurt came bounding back down the stairs. He was all cleaned up, the blood no longer on his face and the cuts bandaged up.
"Sorry about the mess," Kurt said, wincing as he looked around.
"It's ok," Burt smiled softly. "You did good kid."

Kurt beamed with pride and Blaine understood now.
"Well done Kurt," Blaine grinned. Kurt purred softly and made his way to Blaine, hugging him tightly.
"Let's get cleaned up," Carol said quietly. Together they all worked on cleaning up the house. It took them a while and once they were done the house looked as good as new.
"Maybe next time we could leave the mouse hunting for outside," Carol said. Kurt blushed and nodded. Carol walked out and Kurt turned to Burt.

"Is she mad?" Kurt asked quietly. "Did I do something wrong?"
"No buddy," Burt said. "You just surprised her is all."
Kurt nodded but still looked upset.
"I didn't mean to make a mess," Kurt said.
"I know you didn't," Burt smiled.

"Come on Kurt," Blaine grinned. "Maybe you could teach me how you caught it."
"You're not nearly as flexible," Kurt sniffed.
"Am too!" Blaine gasped playfully. This distracted Kurt and he went off on a tangent. Burt smiled at Blaine who grinned back. The boy had done good distracting Kurt. Burt thought that maybe Blaine wasn't so bad after all and he could defiantly get used to having the kid around.
