Okay, so I'm not at home. I uploaded this on my phone a week ago and posting from there, so hopefully I'm having fun with my family. Next chapter, y'all!

Burt scratched his head as he yawned. Kurt waited patiently till his Dad woke up a bit and told him, "I'm going out." His father asked, "It's barely…" He saw the clock and said, "Eight o' clock? It's a Sunday. Are you going shopping?"
Kurt shook his head violently, "No! Well, maybe yes. Harry needed new clothes and I told him I'd help him shop otherwise he'd just wear a dozen black t-shirts with the same pair of jeans."
Carole asked him, "Sweetie, seriously, are you guys dating?" Kurt said, "No, no, no. I'm still figuring it out. So, I'll be home for lunch, maybe? I don't know. Brittany said she might meet me later."
His Dad said, "Okay, now let me go back to sleep. And call and give me updates."
Kurt countered, "I'll send a text to you, Carole. Love you guys. Buh-bye."
He took the scarf he had resting on the table and wrapped it around his neck. He actually wasn't doing what he told his Dad. He was going to meet Harry, but at his place. He knew his dad didn't approve of him going to Harry's place since he lived alone there. However, he wanted to start dragging Harry out of the house. He had met Kurt's friends, but after the big interrogation, he hadn't spoken much about them.
He took the car out and drove to Harry's place. He knew Harry had a very weird sleeping time. The surprising part was that the ever-changing sleeping pattern didn't actually affect Harry's everyday routines. He did hope that Harry had been sleeping the previous night. Shopping with him was almost like an exercise, and he didn't want Harry to be all sleepy, it would be like punishing him.
He parked the car in Harry's driveway and got out the keys. He was surprised when Harry had given his spare keys to him, but now he was happy for having them. He walked in, glad to see the laptop was in the living room and there was no sign of Harry there. He went into the kitchen and the coffee pot was also cold, which meant he had been sleeping for a lot of time instead of writing the whole night. He walked slowly to Harry's bedroom, however ran out immediately when he saw that Harry had gone to bed in his boxers.
Kurt stored the image in the back of his mind, to think about it later. He went to the washroom next to Harry's bedroom, washed his face and walked down the stairs. He then walked up, making a lot of noise while speaking loudly, "Harry! Harry-kins! Kurt here! I'm coming up to take you shopping!" He could hear Harry moving around a bit, then shout, "Wait one second! I'll be right out!" and then the slam of a door. He heaved a sigh of relief and walked down to the kitchen, putting on the coffee.
Ten minutes later, the water was boiling and Harry had come in with a very good-looking bedhead and a sweatshirt with loose pants. The shirt was red and had Gryffindor on the front. He waited to ask Harry, knowing that he had had two coffees since morning and Harry had had none. Harry finished his coffee and said, "Not that I don't love to see you, but this early?"
Kurt said, "Well, I've been noting your outfits down, as you know, I do like seeing new outfits. Yours are nice, but they are repeated. So we are going shopping today and buying you some new clothes. By the way, what's Gryffindor? A group name at your school?"
Harry finished the last dregs of his coffee as he said, "You remember those four houses at school I told you about? The one we got sorted into in our first year?" As Kurt nodded, he said, "Yeah, so Gryffindor was mine. It stood for courage and bravery, but as Hermione used to say, bravery meant you were the people who got into real trouble every time."
Talking about Hermione brought up the letter Harry had been avoiding since Friday. Kurt stated, "You have to read it, you know? You can't avoid it forever. I could always call Ron and you could keep him on the phone while you open it."
Kurt knew that as much as he thought he knew Harry, he didn't know much about his friendship with Hermione. He knew that the girl was his best friend and had called him a word he had dreaded his Dad would use before he came out to him. However, Harry hadn't divulged much information about the two of them. So, he knew that he would have to give him privacy while Harry opened it. He offered, "Harry, if you want, I can go get us sandwiches at Coffee-holics while you finish reading the letter." Harry waved his hand, saying, "No no no. I'll read it and give you the highlights. I just hope her letter isn't as long as her essays at school used to be."
He waited at the table, getting his phone out of his pocket and checking some messages on the group chat the previous night. He noticed that the girls were also planning to shop and typed, I'm coaxing Harry to buy some new clothes. I'll see if I can get him to come along and then we all can go together. He checked a few links he had bookmarked and then just played a few games. He looked up to see Harry peering at the letter in confusion and was reading it again.
About five minutes later, Harry threw the letter down and groaned, "I don't know why she does this to me! Ugh! I hate you, Hermione!"
Kurt cautiously asked, "Is everything okay?"
Harry said, "She's trying to beg my forgiveness by saying sorry for the word. However, there is nothing in that letter about her accepting me as a gay person. Why can't she think rationally for once?"
He watched on as Harry stood up and started back and forth across the room. He said, "This is not at all a good day. On top of that, today's my Mum's birthday. Too many feelings. Okay, Kurt, let's go shopping. Maybe thinking of new clothes will distract me."
Kurt wanted to cheer, but confirmed, "Are you sure? We could just catch something on TV. I won't even comment this time if someone makes a hideous dress on Project Runway."
Harry shook his head. "No, no. I'll go take a shower. You make something for yourself to eat and chill out as usual. I'll be back and ready in fifteen minutes, tops."
