Chapter three
"Double espresso for Kate!" Kurt yelled across the small coffee shop. He turned back around starting on a new drink. He flipped the cups around like always smiling, humming to the soft jazz coming out from the speakers.
"Kurt you have a friend here for ya!" Mary the cashier giggled. Kurt looked up seeing his English teacher smiling at him. Kurt smiled walking over to computer pressing employee buy.
"Medium drip like always?" Kurt teased. Blaine nodded, ducking his head blushing. "Well, for you it's a $1.50." Kurt winked.
"Kurt you didn't have to do that." Blaine sighed. Kurt shook his head.
"No problem." Kurt smiled and turned back to the drink area. Blaine waited patently. Kurt put out two more drinks for other costumers. He started Blaine's flicking the top cup on the tall rack of them; it flipped in the air, landing in his hand bottom in his palm. Blaine smiled watching him make his drink. He placed the drink on the counter winking at Blaine.
"Thank you Kurt." Blaine smiled walking to a table. He took out a stack of papers and started reading over them. Kurt looked over at him once in a while.
"Hey lady." Someone laughed leaning over the counter taunting Kurt. The barista glared at him making their drinks secretly spitting in Dave's. Kurt slid it towards them. Dave took one sip of his coffee before spitting it out all over the grey tiled floor. He wiped his mouth with the back of his hand like a caveman before opening the cap and throwing the steaming hot beverage all over Kurt. Blaine heard Kurt yelp as he covered his neck seeing two large boys laughing at him, sinking to the floor. Blaine leaped up running over to the boys, pushing them out of the way. He jumped over the counter grabbing Kurt into his arms.
"You two leave this coffee shop I swear to God you will be expelled from McKinley." Blaine boomed as he carried the crying student into the back. Mary watched the two large boys almost make a run for it but to Kurt's luck a cop was on line and saw the situation. He stopped them with one firm hand.
"That man said no to leave, so I think you should stay here. God it!" He yelled. They paled walking back to the counter waiting for their consequences.
Blaine sat Kurt down on a folded chair as he yelled for the first aid kit. The student's boss threw it towards Blaine. Taking out the burn cream, he applied it over Kurt's neck.
"Oh, Kurt; I'm so sorry." Blaine said. Kurt smiled. He pressed a hand to Blaine's face stopping him from his movements.
"What am I hurting you?" He whispered. Kurt shook his head.
"No, just thank you." Kurt whispered. Blaine nodded.
"Always." Blaine looked into Kurt crystal oceans, seeing fear, but so much passion; so much that it's amazing he has so much control. Blaine applied the last of it. "Okay well, you will scab a little but, I don't think it was scar if you apply lotion and if you leave it alone." Kurt nodded.
"Blaine really thank you, you have done so much for me, it's amazing." Blaine shook his head.
"It's no problem. I told you I am here to protect you." Kurt nodded looking into Blaine's dripping honey eyes. Kurt sighed jumping off the table walking out to the shop. Blaine followed seeing the two boys being watched by an officer.
"Alright you too; tomorrow you will be down in Mr. Figgins office and will be questioned about Kurt ending up in the hospital last week. I don't care what you think. But you will be; something like this would also put him in the hospital, but you have managed to get most of his clothing." Blaine grunted walking back to his table grabbing his things.
"Kurt your off the rest of the day; it was almost time for you to clock out anyway." His boss said. Kurt nodded taking off his apron and clocking out. Blaine waited for him outside the shop.
"Do you need a ride?" He asked. Kurt shook his head.
"No, my car is over there." Pointing to the navigator. Blaine nodded. "Um, but would you follow me to a place I love when I need to get away?" Blaine nodded walking to his car. Kurt headed to his car driving with his heart practically in his throat.
Pulling up to a apartment building, Kurt and Blaine parked in the back. Kurt saw Blaine walking across the parking lot; he smiled holding the door open for him as they headed to the elevator.
"This isn't you house right; I'm not about to meet your dad?" Blaine's face paled. Kurt laughed.
"No, no and anyway my dad loves you." Kurt winked. Blaine smirked looking down at his brown leather shoes. The elevator dinged as it opened on the sixth floor. Kurt walked down the hall to the last room, pulling out a gold key. He pushed the door open to see a small room with three red couches. The walls were painted a deep purple. A large piano sat in the middle of the room and a small kitchen and bathroom to the left. Blaine was surprised.
"Do you live here?" Kurt giggled.
"No, this was my mom's studio where she went to be alone and play the piano and sing." Kurt sighed walking it, taking his jacket off. Blaine closed the door as he looked around. Large frames hung from the walls. Pictures of a young women with wavy light brown hair; her face prefect like glass; not an imperfection; like Kurt. Burt was in some; Kurt was in all of them; a younger Kurt. A smile, bright as the sun that was captured in the photo as it reflected off their faces. One happy family.
"So you wanted to take me here because?" Blaine asked as he shrugged off his coat. Kurt sighed sitting on the piano bench.
"This is my place to feel safe, my place to go if I'm scared or not wanted. My place to remember the most important person I have ever had the wonderful grace of God to meet. I wanted to take you here because I feel safe with you; you have protected me from the moment I have walked into your class; you have known me for two months and I want to be near you then most of my friends." Kurt giggled. He looked down at his twiddling thumbs. "I know your probably completely afraid of me now, but I know you have been through something; when you found out that be getting thrown into a locker could have been a hate crime towards me because of my sexual orientation, it hit you hard; it was like you remembered something in your life. I know I'm not alone." Blaine smiled.
"You aren't alone; I was tortured in high school about me being gay; so, yea I connect with you on something that shouldn't be in our life. I'm glad you can take me here and feel comfortable with me. But you know that I cant be with you; not in that way. I can be taken from you and I really don't want you out of my life." Blaine said sitting next to Kurt taking his long, slim fingers. Kurt shook his head.
"Who would tell? I wouldn't; why would I want to lose you and who would see us, here. This studio is two towns away from Lima." Kurt smiled, tightening his hold on Blaine's hands. "I care about you so much; you have saved my life in more then the lateral sense. You have opened my mind in English and writing; I have always wanted to be the star; and I still do, but I am now thinking of writing plays or books; thanks to you." Kurt smiled. Blaine melted. He sighed.
"You saved me too; you have saved me from a boring life of grading and hating my job; you make it so much enjoyable; I want to come to work everyday. Because of you. Because of the want and need. I want to protect you kiss you hug you touch your perfect skin be with you sing to you just be next to you feeling your warmth." Blaine moved closer to Kurt. Kurt shook from control of his emotions, his actions.
"I want all of that with you." Kurt whispered, pressing his forehead to Blaine's.
"Please lets try, please." Kurt closed his eyes. Blaine's hands pressed against Kurt's smooth face. He sighed losing his control with a beautiful creature in front of him begging him to take a chance on love.
"God, I can't control it anymore." Blaine cried before pressing his lips against his students. Kurt melted, breathing through his nose. Blaine hands shaped Kurt's face, holding him close; needing to feel his warmth and the touch of his lips. Blaine moaned pressing his chest against his student's. Kurt sighed pulling back lightly; smiling against his teacher's lips. "I'm sorry." Blaine whispered, his eyes still closed. "I just couldn't- your so beautiful." Kurt giggled lightly.
"Thank you." Kurt whispered. "You know this is going to be hard, but your so worth it Blaine." Blaine sighed, pressing his forehead against Kurt's.
"I'm not, but I will try Kurt; I'll try because I care about you so much." Kurt smiled.
"Blaine can you play something for me?" Blaine chuckled kissing Kurt's forehead.
"Anything for you." Blaine smiled bushing his fingers against the keys. Kurt sat there with his head on Blaine's shoulder closing his eyes listening to the sweet music.
