Set after Diva
The next few months had flown quickly for both Jeremy and Kurt. They still got together every once in awhile to have coffee or dinner or even whatever else they could think of, but it was a little more serious than it had been before. Kurt wasn't really sure if it was just him being lonely or the fact seeing Blaine for Christmas had really shot his nerves, but he had developed a little thing for Jeremy. Even though he was a little... rough around the edges, he was sweet and Kurt liked that about him. Every time they went out, he would open the door for Kurt and compliment him. It just felt nice to be appreciated. Yes, he had forgiven Blaine for cheating on him, but it didn't mean he wanted to be with him anymore. Right?
"So when do we get to meet this guy you're always seeing?" Santana asked as Kurt fixed his hair in the mirror. Kurt rolled his eyes. Living with Santana was hard and a huge pain, but he was living through it. Besides, she had her moments where she could be civil. Kurt wished she would find her own place, but he could deal.
"I'm trying to keep you two away from him. We're just friends, but somehow I know you and Rachel will find a way to make him uncomfortable," Kurt replied. Santana faked hurt.
"Me offend him? Now, Lady Hummel, you know I would never do that," she said with a smile. Kurt only rolled his eyes before there was a knock on the door. Kurt pushed past Santana, who was still going on about it not being fair she hadn't met his lover yet and answered it. His eyes widened when he saw Jeremy waiting for him.
"I know we were supposed to meet at the restaurant, but I got off early and figured I might come and pick you up. Kurt, are you okay?" he asked. Kurt looked over at Santana, who had a smug look on her face.
"So this is him? Lady Hummel, I'm impressed. He's tall, dark, and handsome. Have you been-"
"Shut up, Santana. Jeremy, this is the new roommate I was telling you about. Rachel's out with Brody or otherwise you would be meeting her too. Santana, this is Jeremy," Kurt said. Jeremy looked at Kurt for a little bit, trying to read him, but soon gave up and help out his hand.
"It's nice to meet one of Kurt's roommates. I'm always curious as to why he won't let me meet you guys," he said. Santana shook his hand and gave Kurt a smile.
"We've been wondering the same thing. I mean, you're not bad looking and a step up from his ex. I mean, you're taller than he is, so that's already an added bonus. I guess he was worried Berry might try to take you from him," she said. Kurt groaned.
"I'm more worried about you giving him some obnoxious nickname. Now can we go, please, Jere?" he said. Santana's eyebrows raised at the nickname, but she just watched them.
"Be sure to have Lady Hummel back before midnight, Edward Cullen. Otherwise you might have to worry about what Berry and I will do to you," she said. Jeremy looked over at Kurt, who was pulling him out the door.
"Goodbye, Santana. Don't wait up. Please," he said and closed the door. When they were alone, Jeremy laughed.
"Did she just call me Edward Cullen?" he asked. Kurt rolled his eyes.
"Just ignore her. She gives people all of these nicknames that no one seems to understand. She doesn't mean anything by it. Now come on. I'm hungry," Kurt said and led them away.
After their dinner, Jeremy had insisted on walking Kurt back to his apartment like usual. Even though Kurt desperately wanted him to stay as far away as possible, he didn't argue. Now Rachel was home demanding to meet the guy who stole Kurt away every other night. It was chaos and Kurt had caught a small shop to help them pass the time. Jeremy knew Kurt loved to shop, so he didn't object when he was pulled in. Instead, he listened as Kurt told him all about the designers and everything he could do with the clothes he was looking at.
"I don't suppose you could make an outfit for me out of this stuff," Jeremy said with a teasing tone. Kurt smiled up at him.
"I think I could," he replied, taking on Jeremy's challenge. They walked around and eventually Kurt found a shirt that he knew he could work with. When he showed it to Jeremy there was a triumphant smile on his face. "You just really wear a lot of black. It's not that hard to create a look for you." Jeremy laughed and Kurt only continued smiling. Jeremy leaned over to get a better look at the shirt in Kurt's hands and then looked over at him. Kurt used that moment to place his lips on Jeremy's. At first, Jeremy tensed, but then he soon relaxed. There wasn't much to their kiss, just a simple touch of lips, but is still felt nice. When they pulled back, Kurt's eyes widened and he did the only thing his brain could process at that moment. He ran.
I love cliff hangers, don't you? And since this is after Diva, if you know the series well, you know what's after. Don't you guys just love Santana and her little nicknames. I don't know why, I just think she would call Jeremy Edward Cullen since he has that sort of dark look to him.
