I feel kind of evil, but I think this story might be ended by Saturday. Just saying. I think I'm posting a chapter a day (okay... not every day... but mostly everyday) for you until the end of this story's days. But don't worry... I think the actual sequel to The Rift is in your future. With more Jevel (Jeremy/Pavel) in it... as well as Klaine and Fabrerry and Puckofsky. Just saying.

Reviews would be totally awesome. Also, just saying.

21 – Bromance II

"I told her off," Pavel said as they all walked back to the dorms after cleaning up the mistletoe from the auditorium lobby floor. Pavel was on the other side of Blaine and Kurt, who were holding hands as they walked across the frozen campus. Jeremy and Oliver were behind the three, as Pangea and Andulata had flown home. Andrew was probably taking Jasmine back to St. Lilith's, which was a little ways away from Dalton.

"You didn't like her?" Kurt asked, "You're supposed to be bisexual or something like that…"

"Something like that, yeah," Pavel replied, shaking his head a little. He'd probably tell Kurt off as soon as they got into their room, but for now, he was just happy that Kurt and Blaine were finally together. "But, I mean, it felt nice to kiss a girl again… and don't start singing that song, Blaine…"

Blaine laughed and shook his head, "Hey, Katy Perry was how I won Kurtie here over. Don't hate on the Perry…" Then: "Pav kissed a girl and he liked it: the taste of her cherry chapstick. Pav kissed a girl 'cause she forced it, hope his boyfriend—Oh wait…" And he gave a smug look to Jeremy, who growled low in his throat, much like his Wild Child form would do.

"You're loopy, Blaine, it was not the song that won me over," Kurt said, "You need to get to your room and let Arty out for the night."

"Anyway," Pavel said, "I'm not going to pursue a relationship with her, as Ms. Perry pointed out later in the original, Blaine," he continued, shaking his head, "No matter how insistent she was with her cell phone number."

Kurt and Pavel both looked behind them at the sulking Jeremy, who obviously heard what Pavel had said, but wasn't making any move to retort.

They got into the building, and Blaine walked Pavel and Kurt to their door before he kissed Kurt's cheek and left to his own floor. Oliver gave Kurt a look as his brother barged past him. "I'm going to have to talk to him, aren't I?"

Kurt patted his roommate's back as Pavel passed him, and looked at the older twin, "I'm afraid so, Olly…"

Oliver shook his head, "I hate brotherly obligations…"

Kurt smiled and shrugged, "Blaine's tried to talk to him, and we've tried pushing them… maybe you'd be a better choice in talking to Jeremy again. At least get a rise out of him, and if that doesn't work, we'll leave them alone."

Oliver watched his friend disappear into the room across the way and went inside his own, closing the door with his foot. He saw his brother lying on his bed, throwing a ball into the air and catching it with a frown on his face.

"He just told us all that he doesn't want anything to do with her," Oliver pointed out.

"And I stopped calling him a slut and all those other terrible names months ago."

"And yet, even after the 'follow your heart' talk Blaine and Arthur gave you a couple weeks ago, you still are too stubborn to make a move?"

Jeremy stopped throwing the ball up and crossed his arms over his chest, "I told you. I'm getting over my fear of… love."

Oliver crossed his arms to mirror his brother, and then sat next to him. "You remember how scared I was when we met the Draconians? I saw Andulata and I fell so hard for her in the first week we were visiting. After Mum had all her information on the history of the compound, she allowed us to stay at there while she locked herself away with her computer for a week, and I thought I had all the time in the world to ask Andi out."

"Yeah, but you were so scared that…" Jeremy paused, seeing the connection now, "…That you almost didn't get her. The end… of the week came to a close and… you had to book it to get a date in."

"But then we were together, and we've been together since," Oliver said. "You have to get over your fears, or Pavel might just pick another Colin or even a Pangea…"

Jeremy began throwing the ball up again and catching it, "You're the braver brother. I'm just a lily-livered little boy."

Oliver caught the ball and dropped it on Jeremy's nose, "Then grow up fast and make that little Russian boy a very happy little Russian boy…"

Jeremy winced as the ball hit him, but turned over onto his side so his back was showing to his brother in defiance. Oliver sighed loudly, but went to his side of the room to get his shower supplies. If Jeremy wanted to be stubborn, then Oliver would let him. It was all up to Jeremy now if he wanted to confess his feelings to Pavel…

Blaine got into his room and immediately pulled his pocket-watch out of his pocket. "Not a lot of talking tonight. I've been up for most of it all ready."

"You sleep in tomorrow. I'll be inside all night. It's too cold out there," Arthur replied.

"You also want to have breakfast with Kurt… we're a couple now, so you have to pull your weight," Blaine replied, just as his eyes flecked with silver.

"I'm trying… but Kurt likes to sleep at night, and I like to stay up and do stuff all night."

Blaine rolled his eyes from within the watch. "Well… you could have come out after the concert and danced with Kurt all you wanted…"

"But I didn't," Arthur replied. "You told me not to."

"Damn," Blaine sighed, "I probably shouldn't've done that. I'm really, really tired right now."

"Sorry," Arthur replied, shrugging. He fell on the bed next to the watch and picked up a book.

"Can you close the watch? The light is really bright…"

"Oh, right," Arthur replied, flipping the page and then clicking the watch closed. After a few moments, he flicked his eyes at the watch and said, "We're finally with Kurt."

"I know… I'm still getting over it. Don't make it worse."

"I hope you meant about the excitement of it all…" Arthur put in, raising his eyebrow in the direction of the watch.

"Yeah, I did. I've loved Kurt since we met. I've wanted to be with him since Regionals last year," Blaine replied.

"And now we have him. Both of us do," Andrew replied, smiling, "All right… I'll text Kurt right now about it. Hopefully I don't wake him…"

Arthur heard Blaine yawn rather loudly from within the watch and fell silent, flipping the page of the book and giving his other some peace and quiet to rest and recuperate.

Kurt answered Arthur's text about having breakfast with the silver-eyed other in the morning, and turned to Pavel, who had forgone pajamas and had just crawled under the covers. He was very exhausted. While Pavel did that, Kurt went to take a shower, and wound up having a short conversation with Oliver about the stubborn bull of a brother the older twin had. When Oliver went to take a shower, Kurt moisturized, and then returned to his room.

Pavel moaned and said, "I have to make a move, don't I?"

"Not necessarily… but I would if I were you," Kurt replied. "You're getting all this attention from boys and girls alike, thanks to your gender-blindness, that it might be a good idea to make some kind of move on poor Jeremy…"

Pavel nodded, "I guess underneath it all I'm a very proud person. I should just shelve it and be happy…"

"Yeah, but we're leaving for Lima tomorrow, while the twins go visit Araine's house…" Kurt said, "I hear Pavi and Zachary are going back to London for a little while over break…"

"I really hope something happens between them," Pavel replied, "I mean, dating for two years now is a big step. If they're happy, they should just get married all ready. I'm ready for the houses of Emrys and Pendragon to get together…"

Kurt smiled, "What I meant was, we should spend some time with the twins and Araine over the break, and if that happens, I want you to at least make a point to talk to Jeremy like a civilized adult rather than a Russian demon child."

"I have not been a Russian demon child to him!" Pavel replied, "I've been nothing but an angel towards him since Colin and I broke up!"

"Okay, okay… but you've been an angel to him ever since we figured out what those Welsh nicknames meant, actually," Kurt said, climbing under the covers of his own bed, "Except when there was mixed signals between the two of you when you were still dating Colin…"

Pavel shut off his bedside lamp and stuck his tongue out at Kurt, "Logistics," he said, and buried his face under the covers. "I'll see what I can do."

Kurt smiled and took up his book, intending to read for a bit. He let out a mighty yawn, blinked from the shock of it, and put the book down, only to turn out his light and flip over, falling into a deep and wonderful sleep.

Coming Up Next: The twins and Araine are to become closer than ever as Pavi tells them an astounding bit of news. Kurt and Pavel are happy for the two families, and are willing to help, this time without feeding the birds glitter…
