Hey y'all! I'm back! Sorry it took so long. But wouldn't you know. My dog got my computer SOAKED! I don't know with what or how but it was bad enough that the keyboard is fried. And I just don't have the money to buy a new one so I'm back to using my sister's computer while juggling my work life and personal life. I was at work today and this chapter just popped into my head. This chapter is the first chapter from Kurt's POV so it's not going to be that long of a chapter. But I'm hoping to write the next long chapter this weekend. Fingers crossed.
If you recognize the characters or the story, then it's not mine.
Kurt shut off his alarm and got out of bed. Time for another day. Another day of school and yet another day of seeing Blaine. The butterflies in Kurt's stomach automatically started when his name went through his mind. This was a daily occurrence now. Wake up, think of Blaine, get sad because he doesn't like you, act like nothing is wrong when you're around other people, cry later in the day and do it all over again the next day. His daily routine made him feel like crap.
Kurt got his uniform out of his closet and started getting ready. Even though he was used to it, Kurt HATED the uniform. Even though he hated Sebastian Smythe, he agreed with his side of the debate today in which the students should be able to wear whatever they want. Kurt expressed himself through his clothes and not being able to do that at school was probably the worst thing that could happen.
After he was dressed and his hair was finally done, he went downstairs to eat breakfast. To his surprise, his step brother, Finn was also awake.
"Hey. You're up early." Kurt said as he went to the cupboard to grab a bowl.
"I know. I couldn't sleep." Finn responded, barely touching his cereal.
"Why?"
"I couldn't stop thinking about Blaine."
It didn't come as a surprise to Kurt to feel the butterflies.
"What about Blaine?" Kurt asked innocently as he poured his cereal.
"His speech in debate. He's totally freaking out. He was texting me last night. I think he's going to throw up."
"Oh my god. Is he okay?"
"He should be fine. He just has to make it a few minutes. I think I'm going to try and get to school before him and maybe grab him some coffee or something."
"I thought we were going to ride together." Kurt said.
"We were. But I think I'm going to ride my scooter today. I need the exercise anyway."
"Finn. You're on the football team."
"Doesn't mean anything. I'll see you at school!" Finn screamed as he ran out the door.
The conversation with Finn about Blaine even made Kurt feel nervous. He put the cereal away without having had any and headed to his car. He didn't pull out of the driveway. Instead he sat and thought about things. Maybe Finn was right. Maybe he should move on like Finn had recommended more times than he can count. He spent so much time thinking about Blaine that it was starting to upset him. He couldn't though. Why would he want to? Blaine was perfect. Blaine was everything he wanted and more. Finn knew it too. Luckily, Finn kept it a secret from Blaine, much to the happiness of Kurt. Finn had decided that it should be Kurt to tell Blaine how he felt. And maybe he should. He looked at the time and realized he only had a short time before school started and he had to leave if he wanted to make it on time.
Once Kurt found a parking place, he got out of his car and immediately pulled out his phone to call Rachel, his best friend.
"Hey, Kurt! You here?" She asked.
"Yeah, I just got here. Meet me by your locker?"
"Sure!"
They hung up and Kurt strapped on his back pack and headed to meet Rachel.
"Good morning, star shine." Rachel said a little too happily.
"You are much too happy in the mornings."
"Not every morning." She clarified.
"Wait...I know that happy smile. You just left Finn, didn't you?"
Instead of answering, she just smiled and blushed.
"I knew it. Of all the people for you to be in love with, you had to pick my brother?" He teased.
"I just can't help it. He's just so amazing."
"Speaking of amazing. Isn't it amazing that Hunter and Sebastian just choose to make out in the middle of the hall for anyone to see?"
Rachel didn't even turn but rolled her eyes anyway.
"Oh, please. Don't even pay any attention to them. They are just-"
But what they were Kurt didn't hear. His attention got taken by Blaine and Finn. He didn't mean to stare but he couldn't help it. He noticed that Blaine made eye contact with him but before he could smile or wave, Blaine turned away and walked down the hall with Finn.
"Did you listen to anything I said, Kurt?" Rachel asked impatiently.
"Yeah. Yeah, of course. Come on. Let's go to math."
"How is he doing?" Kurt asked when Finn came home from Blaine's.
Finn had told Kurt what happened and then immediately went over to Blaine's house after school. He had been gone for hours and Kurt wanted to know how it went.
"He's fine now. He did some climbing to get his mind off it. He actually told me that he's meeting his grandmother tomorrow."
"The one who lives in Europe?" Kurt asked confused.
Blaine had come over enough that he had told Finn and Kurt that he had a Grandmother Emma whom he had never met that was from Europe but that was all he knew.
"Yup. That would be the one. He's going right after choir class tomorrow."
"Weird. I wonder what she wants."
"Who knows? I'm starving. Is there any leftover dinner?"
Kurt was doing very well today. He was so busy with big assignments and tests that he barely thought about Blaine. Now that he thought about it, it was one of the least stressful days he ever had. Not that Blaine made him stressed. But not being so focused on not making a fool out of yourself is stressful. He was even looking forward to the one class he had with Blaine. Choir.
Choir was Kurt's favorite class and not just because he had it with Blaine. Blaine was just a bonus. No. Because he got to play the piano. Kurt felt more at home behind the piano than he did anywhere else. He is the piano player in his band that practices at his dad's tire shop and lots of girls like to come and watch them play. Not that he cares about that anyway.
When he arrived in class, he was upset to see the room overtaken with the jocks. He completely ignored them as he went to take his place at the piano bench. He was playing on his phone when he heard Hunter scream.
"We should have some fun. Get some music up in here!"
Everyone in the room seemed to agree and he saw Sebastian heading his way so he moved over to make some room. He was so distracted by Sebastian that he almost didn't notice Blaine following him to play the bass drum.
"Hit it!" Hunter shouted.
Kurt played whatever it was that was in the music book on the piano. But it was something upbeat and everyone seemed to have a lot of fun. Kurt saw Sebastian pretending to play out of the corner of his eye and rolled his eyes. He heard Blaine giggle at it and it made him want to scream. Is that what Kurt had to do to get noticed? Act like a fool? He was grateful that the teacher chose that moment to come in and break up the fun.
Kurt decided that after choir was going to be the day that he ask Blaine out on a date. He had prepared for it. He collected his music and stood up from the bench, heading to where Finn and Blaine were standing by the door talking.
"-might not be anything anyway. I'll let you know." Blaine was saying.
"Please do. I'll just get Kurt to help me."
"Help you with what?" Kurt asked.
"Help me with the spotted owl petition." Finn said.
"I'll let you guys talk this out. I gotta head out." Blaine said.
He turned to walk away and Kurt was afraid he was going to miss his chance. He shouted.
"Blaine!" He said louder than intended.
He turned around.
"Yes?"
Kurt opened his mouth but nothing came out. He knew this would happen. He knew that no matter how hard he tried, this wasn't going to work.
"I-I hope everything goes well with your grandmother." Kurt smiled.
Blaine looked confused but then he smiled.
"Oh! Thanks, Kurt. I really appreciate that." He turned and walked away.
"Kurt, you had your opportunity." Finn said.
"I know..." Kurt responded.
Kurt turned his gaze to the boy walking down the hall and thought longingly of the day when he would be able to finally push aside his fear and tell the boy...I'm in love with you.
Please give me your input! I was wanting to do more Kurt POV chapters but if you guys don't like them, then I won't do full chapters dedicated to him. Which is why it is SO important for you to leave a review. Thanks for reading and I'm hoping for more this weekend. We'll see. I work all day tomorrow and Saturday but I'll do what I can! Thanks for your support and tell me what you think! xoxo
