The Night and Days of Kurt: The Continuation
Day #62
KURT
"When are you going to be ready?" Kurt groans at Finn as he smooths out the front of his shirt. "We're going to be late to school."
"We're not." Finn argues as he keeps his eyes glued to the TV where he blows up someone's head. "We have five minutes until we get there. You''ll get into class just as the bell rings. Trust me. I've had this tested."
Kurt rolls his eyes and sits down on his bed. "But I want to go now. That way I have at least five minutes to hang out with everyone before class."
Finn shrugs. "You should've called your boyfriends then."
"You volunteered to drive me." Kurt stresses. "That means that I'm supposed to rely on you."
"Well relying on me means that you wait until the last possible moment. It's life." Finn shrugs again.
Kurt rolls his eyes before standing up and shouldering his bag. He walks over to the staircase and looks back at the lazy boy.
"I'll be waiting upstairs." Kurt says with an impatient sigh. "Waiting for The Boy Who's Lazy."
Finn snorts at his comment before Kurt turns to walk up the stairs. He stops when the door opens and his dad peers in. His face is set in stone.
"Kurt." His dads voice is stiff and annoyed. "We . . . someone's here to see you."
Noah and Sam would just come down. So would Santana and Tina.
Kurt's eyebrows narrow. "Who?"
Burt bites his lip and sighs before stepping aside. Kurt's eyes widen when a cautious Karofsky steps into the doorway.
"Umm . . . hi." Karofsky gives Kurt a small smile and wave.
Kurt's jaw drops slowly and he gives Karofsky a small smile. "Hi Dave. What . . . what are you doing here?"
"I need to talk to you." Karofsky shifts under the glare of the elder Hummel right next to him. "Alone."
Kurt bites his lip and starts to shake his head.
"Karofsky." Kurt suddenly feels Finn close behind him. "What are you doing here?"
"I just need to talk to him." Karofsky says, his eyes aware of Finn's protective stance and his harsh voice.
"You can't." Finn hisses. "No one wants you around. Not Kurt, not me, and definitely not Puck or Sam. They warned you." Finn threatens with a low growl. "Now go."
Kurt's very aware of his dads eyes darting between the three. Kurt reaches behind him and places a hand on Finn's arm.
"It's okay Finn. We're just going to talk." Kurt says slowly as he keeps his eyes on Karofsky.
"But-"
"It's fine Finn." Kurt cuts him off as he looks back at his brother.
"I-" Kurt looks back up to Karofsky. "I figured that we could talk on the way to school." Karofsky bites his lip. "If you want a ride I mean."
"I can take him." Finn growls.
"I'll go with Dave." Kurt says as he takes a few steps up the stairs before turning back down to look at Finn and lowers his voice. "Just follow us if you're so paranoid." Kurt looks back to Karofsky with a smile. "Let's go."
Karofsky grins before stepping back. Kurt slowly ascends the stairs, aware of all the eyes on him. He reaches his dad and nods. His dad hesitantly nods back, trusting his son. Kurt steps to Karofsky's side and walks to the door. He waits for the bigger boy to step out the front.
Just keep cool Kurt. Don't lead him on, don't give him any hope about anything like that.
Kurt lets out a shaky breath before he slides into the passenger seat. Karofsky grins at him before starting the car and pulling out of the driveway.
FINN
Finn shoves his feet into his shoes while waiting for someone to pick up the phone.
"Sup Finn." Puck's voice comes in over the phone. "Where are you and Kurt at? We're not going to have any time before class."
"Yeah." Finn says slowly into the phone as he goes up the stairs to leave the room. "We have a problem. Karofsky's with Kurt."
Finn grins when Puck starts cursing up a storm.
No one will touch Kurt anymore. We'll make sure of that.
KURT
Kurt twiddles his thumbs at the uncomfortable an awkward silence that has been in the car for the past few minutes.
"So . . ." Kurt tries to make conversation. "What did you want to talk about?"
He watches as Karofsky's hands tighten on the wheel. Kurt's eyes go wide when Karofsky pulls to the side and shuts the car off.
"Dave . . ." Kurt starts slowly. "What-"
"I love you." Karofsky cuts him off. "I can't help it. I know that I told you I didn't . . . but I do." Karofsky lets out a shaky breath, still staring at his hands on the wheel. "I just . . . I need you to know . . . that I can be the one for you." He looks to Kurt and silences Kurt with a look. "I know that you love . . . them, but . . . I need you Kurt."
"Dave." Kurt says softly. "I . . . I do like you. I do." Kurt's eyes go soft. "But as a friend." He reaches over when Karofsky scowls and takes the boys hand. "I love Noah and Sam. I will be them for as long as I can." Kurt looks down at their hands. "And even if we do break up . . . I won't be able to move on. And I won't move onto you either." Kurt looks up into Karofsky's red eyes. "I'm sorry Dave. But the most we can ever be is friends. I need you to understand that."
"I do Kurt." Karofsky squeezes his hand. "I've tried to move on . . . but I can't."
"Well what about Azimio." Kurt asks as Karofsky freezes in his hand. "When Santana was getting dirt on everyone, she found you and him kissing."
Karofsky looks down. "He was just helping me." He lets out a shaky breath. "He said that it would give me confidence."
"That's good." Kurt smiles. "You need confidence, but you don't need it from me. You need to find it from someone else." Kurt takes a deep breath. "Please try Dave. We can't keep doing this. It's not going to end well if you keep pining after me."
Karofsky looks up at Kurt and he sees tears in the other boys eyes. "I know."
Kurt gives him a sad smile. "Dave . . . how many times are we going to have this conversation?"
"I don't know." Karofsky chuckles softly before sighing. "I'm going to tell my parents."
Kurt's eyes widen and he gulps. "You . . . are you sure? About doing this?"
Karofsky nods slowly. "Yeah . . . I think I am."
NOAH
Noah growls as he waits outside the school. Finn is at one side with Sam at the other.
"What's taking so long?" Noah grumbles.
"They should have been here by now." Finn looks worried. "They disappeared right before I pulled into the school."
"Well where-" Noah is cut off as Karofsky's car pulls into the school parking lot.
Sam moves before Noah does. The blonde boy is quickly moving over to the car. By the time Noah is reaching the car, Sam is hauling out of the car. They both glare at Kurt's small smile.
"Easy boys. I'm fine." Kurt sighs. "I'll tell you everything later. Okay?"
Noah growls. Kurt rolls his eyes before kissing Noah on the cheek.
Noah rolls his eyes. "Alright then. Let's get to class."
So what do you think. Things are getting more interesting. Karofsky is slowly getting more involved in the next few chapters. I hope you like what I'm doing with his character. So let me know what you think with things. :)
