Author's Note: Hi people! Thank you so much for the response from the last chapter, it was overwhelming. You guys are awesome, and so nice. You get this chapter full of klisses!
So the main theme from this chapter was suggested by Miss-evil-lil-elf. I was reading the review and I thought 'I swear someone's mentioned something like this before…' It turns out that esinger mentioned something in a review to chapter 8, so ages ago. But thanks to the both of you!
Anyway, there aren't many chapters left (it's sad, I know) but enjoy this anyway. It's not as long as some of the previous ones but I hope that's okay. Enjoy!
Chapter 21- Freaked
As soon as Kurt woke up, the events of the night before all flooded back into his memory and he instantly had a wide smile on his face. Blaine was still asleep, facing him. Kurt found it hard to believe that after so long they were finally together. He also couldn't believe how, but thinking about the handcuffs at that moment wasn't necessary. Hell, if his dad found out about them now…with Kurt now chained to his boyfriend… the whole fear of assassins thing didn't seem too far-fetched anymore.
There was no way that Kurt could move without disturbing Blaine so if he was going to wake him up, he may as well have done it in the best way possible. He leant over and kissed his boyfriend on the lips, surprised but pleased when a few seconds later Blaine started to respond. Kurt pulled back because Blaine was now awake and he'd done what he'd intended to.
"Hey!" Blaine mumbled, still half asleep. He managed to have a whiny tone even then. "No. Who told you to stop? More of that."
Blaine finally opened his eyes when Kurt laughed at his comment.
"Hi."
"Hi." Kurt replied. The two of them were both ridiculously awake for this time in the morning and before having coffee.
They just looked at each other for a while, not talking, just happy in each other's company for a minute. Neither really wanting to get out of bed yet. Kurt started tracing patterns on Blaine's arm but Blaine just kept watching Kurt.
After his revelation the night before he couldn't stop thinking about him. It was weird. Kurt was boyfriend now, of course he'd think about him, but it was like he couldn't stop. It wasn't a bad thing, it was just different. If anything ever happened and they broke up, Blaine wouldn't be able to stand it, it had only been a few hours- most of which he was asleep- and already he could never imagine life without his boyfriend. You could call him clingy or whatever you wanted, he just felt that strongly about him.
"You're beautiful." Kurt blushed as soon as the words left Blaine's mouth.
"Really, you are. I don't see how you can't see it."
"No I'm not." Kurt mumbled weakly.
"Hey, look at me." Reluctantly Kurt raised his eyes to those belonging to his boyfriend. "You are. And if I have to say it every day to make you believe it then I will."
"Stop making me blush."
"Awww, Kurtie, you don't need to be embarrassed."
"Stop being so cute." Kurt complained. Blaine automatically did puppy eyes.
"That's not fair!"
"You're adorable."
-The Chains That Keep Us Together-
"Ugh, I really don't want the Warblers to start taking credit for this. They won't leave us alone when they find out." Blaine moaned.
It was a little later in the morning, not late enough for people to be in class yet. Kurt and Blaine had brushed their teeth and gotten changed already, which didn't take very long.
"Well maybe they don't have to find out straight away." Kurt realised.
"What do you mean? We don't tell them?"
"I'm pretty sure they'd find out even if we didn't tell them. No. I was thinking we do something that makes them think that their plan failed so badly that we hate each other. If they think that, they also won't be suspicious that we're together so we should get some time without them bothering us." Kurt continued to explain his idea and by the time he was finished, both were certain that they wanted to do this.
"Okay, but this doesn't count as revenge, does it?" Blaine asked uncertainly.
"No. This is only part of that. Real revenge comes after we've gotten the handcuffs off." Blaine nodded.
"Let's do this."
-The Chains That Keep Us Together-
"Okay, so we can't make it too obvious and you can't look at me like that." Kurt told his boyfriend.
Their plan was about to go into action and they were about a corridor away from where they were going to do it. They were going to have a full on screaming battle with each other, right where the Warblers would be able to hear them. It was going to require a lot of acting and a lot of confidence but it was going to work. They were determined to make it work.
"Like what? I'm not doing anything." Blaine said honestly.
"You've just got this look in your eyes but you're supposed to hate me."
"But I don't hate you, I can't do that. I'd never hate you."
"Then...I don't know. Block off your emotions, you're good at that." Blaine was about to defend that but he supposed it was true. "Now, look at me like you hate me." Kurt then promptly burst out laughing. "What was that?"
"A glare?"
"Oh honey, that wasn't a glare." Kurt told him.
"I can't do it!"
"You'll be fine. I promise I won't believe anything you say when we're 'fighting'."
"Me neither. I mean…you know what I mean." Blaine said.
"So, you ready?"
"No. But if I don't do it now I never will."
-The Chains That Keep Us Together-
"So, do you think they've finally got their acts together yet?" Thad asked, a piece of bread only halfway to his mouth.
"Dude, have you seen how oblivious Blaine is? I'd give it at least another week." Trent told him. The pair was talking to each other normally now, the whole argument over whose fault it was that they lost the key was long forgotten.
"But they don't have that long to wait. They have to get the handcuffs off soon." Nick pointed out.
"True." Jeff supported.
"Does that mean this whole thing has been a complete waste of time?" Cameron asked the rest of them. He was getting smarter than they realised. He'd caught onto the conversation quickly despite the fact that he'd been listening to his invisible friend when the talk started.
"Possibly." Jesse sighed. Everyone wanted Kurt and Blaine to get together; they were made for each other.
"We could always try again if this fails." David reassured.
"There's no guarantee that this will fail anyway. There's always a chance that this could work." Just as Wesley Montgomery finished saying that there was a yell from outside the room.
"I'm sick of this, Blaine." They froze, it didn't sound good.
"You're sick of this? I'm stuck with you whining down my ear all freakin' day."
That didn't sound like something Blaine would say. The Warblers jumped to their feet and sprinted to the door to watch the exchange. Kurt and Blaine were standing facing each other, a few feet away down the corridor. They were right up in each other's faces, which they had to be because of the handcuffs, but they looked beyond angry. The Warblers didn't realise that looks can be deceiving.
"Oh, I'm sorry; it must be so hard not to have to listen to people obsessing over you all day."
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?"
"There's no 'What solo do you want today, Blaine?' or 'How would you like us to shuffle behind you, Blaine?' It must be so difficult to not have the world revolve around you. The Warblers doesn't seem to fit as the name anymore, what about 'Blaine and the Pips'?"
Kurt was still acting of course, but this end part was sort of true. Blaine did get all the solos and all the attention but honestly, Kurt didn't care anymore. He was happy for his boyfriend. Dating the lead soloist was sort of awesome, even if it had only been a few hours.
"You're so right. I guess I do need a reality check. I was obviously the most important person in the world when the guys from my old school decided to beat the crap out of me!" It was the first thing that came out of his mouth but he flinched slightly as he said it. Luckily none of the Warblers noticed from the distance.
"Don't even try that sympathy crap; you know how I was treated at McKinley." Kurt sounded cold and harsh; he was a really good actor. He knew that none of this meant anything and the voice inside his head was still squealing at the fact that Blaine was his boyfriend.
"Yes Kurt, I do. You don't shut up talking about the school. If you miss your little friends so much, why don't you just go back to them?" It was as good a comeback as any. Blaine really wanted to avoid them talking about their lives before Dalton; the bullying and the hate. This was as close as he could get to stop from changing subject completely.
It was really hard to scream these things to each other. They knew the Warblers could see and hear them and that most of the school and probably some teachers could hear them. It was really nerve-wracking.
"You know what, maybe I will. Your idiot friends think it's appropriate to chain me to an asshole."
"Well the second we get these handcuffs off you can just clear off then, can't you? Because I can't even stand to be near you right now." Blaine was silently begging that this would be over soon. He was going to launch himself at his boyfriend and kiss it all away in a minute, and that would make the whole thing a complete waste of time.
"The sooner I get away from you the better. And as soon as I get away from here I am never going to speak to you again."
"Less earache for me then." Blaine said bitterly. End this please!
"We're getting rid of these handcuffs." Kurt pulled at Blaine's arm and started to walk away.
"Don't touch me." Blaine said back, figuring that this fake version of himself wouldn't just accept that this was happening. Soon they were safely headed back to Blaine's room and out of earshot from the Warblers.
The Warblers were stood in a daze, Cameron was crying into a shocked Thad's shoulder and Nick and Jeff were confused.
"Still think there's a chance?" David asked Wes, after finally managing to speak. He, as well as everyone else that had heard that, was freaked out.
"Shit." Wes breathed out, and Wes wasn't exactly one to swear.
-The Chains That Keep Us Together-
Kurt closed the door to Blaine's room and then watched his boyfriend.
"You okay?" Before Kurt could say another word he was pinned up against the door with Blaine kissing him, not that he was about to complain about it.
"I'm so freakin' sorry. Please don't leave me." Blaine rested his forehead against Kurt's.
"I-I'm not. Why would you-?"
"Don't go back to McKinley yet. I only just got you." It was then that Kurt noticed the tears in Blaine's eyes.
"Blaine, you know I didn't mean any of that. Just like I know that you didn't mean it. I'm not really going anywhere."
"I know, but it scared me. I can't lose you yet. I only just realised how much of an idiot I was and-" Kurt kissed him to stop him from rambling.
"You've still got me, okay? Even if I do go back there we'll still be together. Are you okay now?" Blaine nodded.
"I'm sorry I freaked out."
"You'll be sorry that you keep apologising." Kurt teased.
"Right." Then Blaine realised where they were. "Oh, wow. I didn't even notice that I'd done that. I just pinned you against a door. Wow, I'm s-"
"If you dare apologise for that then I'm breaking up with you on the spot."
"I…okay."
*Le sigh* I didn't get to do another teeth- rotting ending. Oh, and PorcelainN'Curly4Eva, what do you mean you're sending me your dentist bill? I already warned you :)
See you at the next chapter! Keep reviewing!
