Ideal
I own nothing.
"Thanks for coming," Wes said, as he brought Blaine into a hug.
"Of course. How is she?" Blaine pulled away, pocketing his hands.
Wes gave a smile, "You'll have to ask her yourself. She won't really give me a straight answer." He looked down at his shoes.
Blaine nods despite the fact Wes wasn't looking. He looked around a moment and noticed a lot of Wes' things. "Did you move back in?"
Wes inhaled a breath and looked back at Blaine, "Yeah, I figured I would. My landlord wanted to up my rent, so…" He trailed off as Blaine nodded his head, understanding.
"Wesley?" A quiet call echoed from the next room.
Blaine followed Wes into the living room, "Right here. You remember Blaine Anderson?"
A smile lit up the woman's face, "Of course! Hello, Blaine."
Blaine flashed his teeth and bent down to kiss her cheek, "Hello, Misses Parker."
"Please, Blaine. Anna's fine."
A laugh escaped Blaine's lips, "Okay, Anna." Wes motioned for Blaine to sit down. "How are you feeling?"
Anna tried a smile, "I could be better, but I'm not complaining."
Wes shook his head, "She's really not. I wish she would though, so I knew when to do something."
Anna shook her head, "You don't need to do anything, Wesley."
The room went silent for a moment, before Blaine looked around the room and announced, "You really changed the place since the last time I've been here."
The mother and son burst out in laughter. Blaine turned back to them and watched them. "You haven't been to this house, dude." Wes shook his head, "We moved four months ago."
Blaine bit his lip, "Oops," he smiled at his own pity as a blush came across his face.
Anna's eyes were watched by Blaine as they flashed, just for a millisecond, pain. The boy stopped smiling and watched her closely.
Anna finally looked at Blaine, "Are you all right?"
"I'm fine," Blaine smiled faintly. "But you're not."
Wes' eyebrows scrunched together, "Blaine?"
"She's in pain." Blaine simply said. He watched as Anna tensed in the seat.
Wes quickly looked from Blaine to Anna, "Is that true, mom?" the questioned woman nodded her head. "Why didn't you say anything?" Wes hastily got up from his seat to make his way to the kitchen.
"Because, Wesley! You know I hate taking those pills," her voice dripping with disgust. She shut her eyes and collected herself.
"Well, you're going to take them whether you like it or not, mom." Wes called from the kitchen.
Blaine looked at her with sympathy, "Sorry, Anna."
Anna smirked at Blaine, "It's all right, sweetie. Wesley did warn me about your talent."
Blaine couldn't help but laugh, "It's not really a talent. It's more of a convenience."
"Yeah, it's a convenience to have the talent." Wes said as he walked back into the room. He handed two pills and a glass of water to his mother. "Take them, or I'll make Blaine ask you some extremely awkward questions."
Although Wes' voice was dripping with kindness and sarcasm, Anna and Blaine knew his words were honest.
The conversation continued for quite some time before Anna decided that it was time for her to leave the boys alone to talk. She blamed it on her tiredness, "I'm exhausted, boys. I think I'll go take a nap." She stood up and gave a look at the standing Wes, who quickly sat down. "I can do it myself, Wesley," she turned to Blaine, "It was nice seeing you again, Blaine. Don't be a stranger."
"Thank you; I'll try not to be." Blaine winked at her and flashed his teeth.
Wes made sure she made it to her room before he looked back at Blaine, "I really appreciate you coming to see her."
Blaine shook his head, "Stop thinking about it. You've been to three doctors and they all say she'll be fine. Stop worrying yourself sick over a thought she might die."
Wes matched his actions, "I know she'll die someday."
"Yes, but you're acting like it'll be tomorrow. Just relax and get that thought out of your head. She's calmer about it than you are."
Wes cracked a smile, "Yeah, because of her pain medicine." The boys broke out in laughter.
"So… A little birdie tells me you're seeing someone." Blaine spoke after the laughter died.
"Damn it, David," Wes mumbled and shook his head. "Yeah, she's amazing."
"Has she met your mom?"
"No. But she knows about her. She's been supportive; being there, not judging me if I end up emotional about." Wes smiled fondly at the memories.
Blaine flashed a lip locked smile, "What's her name?"
"You're going to hate me," Wes bit his lip.
Blaine scrunched his eyebrows together in confusion, "What do you mean?"
"I'm dating Jill,"
Blaine's eyebrows shot up, "My cousin Jill?" Blaine knew only one Jill. She was one of his cousins from his mother's side of the family.
Wes looked away from Blaine when he answered, "Yeah."
"Well… I expect to see you at family get-togethers, then." Blaine flashed a smile of support when Wes looked at him in shock.
"Kurt!" Sam whined, "The wedding was two weeks ago. She must have told you by now!"
A sigh escaped Kurt's lip, "She hasn't told me who she's dating, Sam. I respect her privacy – and you should, too!"
Sam pouted, "Now you're just yelling at me."
Kurt rolled his eyes, "I'm not yelling, but if you don't get out of my house in one minute, I will be yelling."
Sam eyes went big, "You wouldn't."
Kurt looked directly in the blonde's eyes, "Sam… don't try me."
"Fine," Sam mumbled and turned to make his way to the door. He suddenly had a thought, "Where's Tim? I thought he was off on Sundays?"
Sam observed as Kurt tensed up. "We broke up," Kurt said in a strong voice.
"What?" Sam shifted his weight from his left foot to his right. "When?"
"The day before the wedding." Kurt steadily said.
"You're kidding! Why didn't you say something?" Sam folded his arms across his chest.
Kurt started to pick at his nails, "You guys didn't ask. It wasn't my place to talk about me at the time."
Sam shook his head, "So no one knows?"
"The girls. They asked at the wedding… pushed it, actually." Kurt swallowed. He felt extremely uncomfortable talking to Sam about it.
"I thought you said no one asked!" Sam shot back.
"No, I said you guys never asked." Kurt replied.
Sam let out a small laugh, "Smartass." Kurt gave a smile back. Sam had to ask, "Does Finn know?" Kurt shook his head. "You should tell him."
"Why? It wasn't like Tim and I were so excusive. He only ever met Finn. There's no need to tell him such an unimportant detail." Kurt started to tap his foot.
"Fine… but I'm telling him."
"Do whatever you want, Sam, but it doesn't matter because he won't care. So now will you please get out of my house!" With his right hand on his hip, he pointed to the door with his left.
Sam closed his lips together and shook his head, "Okay, Kurt. God, I'm leaving."
"Bye, Sam!" Kurt shouts after him in an uplifting voice.
The addressed boy turned his head to Kurt and smiled faintly. He shook his head and made his way out of the house, shouting back a goodbye.
It was ten minutes later that Kurt's phone went off with the name Finn Hudson flashing back. Kurt shook his head and smiled before answering the phone in a knowing voice, "Hello, Finn."
"Please tell me Sam's lying,"
Kurt situated himself on the couch, "Afraid I can't."
"What the hell, Kurt? You should have told me."
"Why? It's not that big of a deal." Kurt was starting to get angry.
Kurt heard silence on the other end before Finn finally spoke again, "You had no problem telling me when Logan and Alan-"
"Adam," Kurt corrected.
"di- whatever, Adam – didn't work out."
"Yeah, but Logan was my first boyfriend and Adam was when I lived back at home and you caught me crying in my bedroom."
"I don't think that's the point, Kurt." A sigh escaped from Finn.
"It's not a big deal, Finn. Just a break up."
"It is a big deal, Kurt. We're brothers; you're supposed to tell me things! I don't want to hear from Sam that you broke up over two weeks ago and didn't even bother to tell me!"
Kurt let out a laugh, "Whatever, Finn."
"At least tell me what happened?"
"No." Kurt firmly said.
"Why not? I trust you to tell you anything."
"Okay… You really want to know?" Kurt stood up from the couch, knowing the answer.
"Yes! I really do."
"Okay… He hated how feminine I can be, he didn't really listen or understand, and when he needed to get away from me or was upset with me, he would run to his fuck buddy because I wouldn't let him fuck me." Kurt clenched his jaw as he heard silence from the other end. "Did you really want to know all of that?"
"Well, uh…"
"Exactly. If I feel like talking to a Hudson about my boyfriend problems, leave it to your wife. Now, I really have to go. Goodbye, Finn."
"… Bye."
Kurt quickly pulled his phone from his ear and clicked the end button. Kurt shut his eyes tight and sighed. He wasn't very fond of fighting with his step-brother.
He placed himself back on the couch and turned on the television, surfing the channels.
Melanie was running around the house trying to get everything cleaned and moved into a right place. Blaine was following in her footsteps, cleaning what she missed.
Melanie stopped abruptly. She turned to Blaine with sad eyes, "We forgot the roller skates and that Two Eclipses game thing!"
Blaine's eyes shut tight, "I thought Dani was suppose to go get that stuff."
The woman shook her head, "She never got around to it, she said." Her eyes started to water as she watched her son.
"Where is she anyway?" Blaine mumbled for a moment before the told his mother, "Uncle Nicholas said the skates and game are both at JCPenney right?" Melanie nodded, "The mall is only five minutes away. I'll go get them."
"You have thirty minutes, Blaine." Melanie pointed out as she glanced at the clock on the wall. "Can you make it?"
Blaine nodded his head, "Yeah, if I leave now." Blaine grabbed his keys and went to the door, twisting the doorknob. As he walked out, Blaine's voice ran through the house, "Tell Dani to get her ass out of her room and help you!"
He didn't even bother sticking around for the reply, as he quickly scurried to his car and down the street.
Twenty minutes later, Blaine was rushing back to his car. He placed the two shopping bags in the passenger seat and turned the key to start the engine. The car made an ugly noise and Blaine immediately began to mumble negative things. Blaine shut his eyes tight as he tried to start the car once more, and got the same result.
Blaine shook his head – he was determined to start his car. Blaine tried once more. He let a deep sigh escape his lips. He pulled out his phone and strolled until he found his brother's name. He held the phone to his ear as the phone dialed. Ring after ring; Eli didn't pick up.
He bit his lip as he watched the older man in front of his car leave the parking space. Blaine took an inhaled breath and tried to start the car one last time.
A tap came from the opposite window. Blaine jumped slightly and turned his head to notice a boy bending over to look in through the window giving him an apologetic smile. Blaine, as on instinct, looked right into the eyes that shinned a beautiful blue, with tad hints of green.
Blaine quickly slide out of his car and looked over the top to the mysterious boy.
"Sorry if I scared you." He spoke with a voice that Blaine knew he probably would never forget.
Blaine shook his head, "No, it's fine."
The boy gave a smile, "You won't get your car started."
A sigh escaped Blaine's lips, "I know…" his eyes never left the boy.
"Is anyone coming?" he asked in short.
Blaine shook his head, "I tried calling my brother, but he didn't answer…"
The boy nodded, "Pop the hood and make sure no one goes into that spot," The boy motioned to the space in front of Blaine's. Blaine gave a nod and the boy turned to go back to his car. Blaine quickly looked over the boy.
Blaine took a breath and did as he was told, while he whispered to himself. "Okay, Blaine… No need to get over excited. He's just a guy." Blaine made his way to the front of the car to lift up the hood. "Even if my gaydar is never wrong," Blaine quickly went quiet as a car started to pull in the space. Blaine was grateful that it was the mystery guy.
Without shutting his car off, the boy exited his car. He came around and bent down to open his car hood. Blaine's eyes traveled over him and his breath caught in his throat as his eyes stopped at the boys slightly moving ass. The boy had a nice, thin body that made Blaine lick his lips.
He always had a thing for guys who weren't built in muscle too much, but just thin and in-shape. There was no doubt that Blaine was a sucker for eyes and this boy had some eyes on him that made him silently squeal inside.
A singing voice was something that really did it for Blaine. He probably would attack the mystery boy if he knew how to sing.
He just had to introduce himself, but just as Blaine was about to, the guy spoke, "I'm going to jump you, okay?"
"W-What?" His dirty mind caught the best of him; Blaine's eyebrows shot up. The boy turned around to face him.
The boy smiled with affection and amusement, and gave a small chuckle, "Your car. I'm going to jump your car."
"… Right," Blaine couldn't help but smiled back. The male turned back and disappeared behind his car. Blaine took a deep breath. He returned holding jumper cables.
He moved over to Blaine's car and hocked up the cables for his end. Blaine watched him, "I'm not any good at cars." He confessed.
A smile landed on the boy's face, "I help my dad a lot, so I know a few things." He finished with Blaine's end and moved over his car to do the same routine.
Blaine followed and placed his dashing smile on his face, "I'm Blaine, by the way." He stuck out his hand.
Kurt turned to look at the hand and reached to grip it, "Kurt," he simply replied as he looked up at Blaine's eyes.
Although he didn't really want to, Blaine let go of Kurt's hand. "It's really nice of you to help me with my car…"
"Yeah, well…" Kurt trailed off as he motioned to Blaine's car, "Go try to start it."
He did as he was told and he soon heard the car start. Blaine smiled and got out of his car as he saw Kurt taking the cables off. "Thank you, thank you, thank you! You totally saved my ass."
Kurt nodded, a blush formed on his face and smiled fondly. He had just opened his mouth to say something when Blaine's phone rang its ringtone. Blaine took his phone out of his pocket and noticed his brother's name. "Sorry," he quickly said to Kurt, who had nodded his head in understanding. "Hey," he answered his phone.
"Where are you? They're almost here; they said they got caught in traffic." Eli's voice was in a panic. As Eli's voice rang through Blaine's ear, he watched as Kurt shut the hood to his car for him. Kurt watched Blaine talking on the phone.
"I had a bit of car trouble. I'm on my way." Blaine hung up the phone and turned back to Kurt who was standing in between both cars. "Thanks, Kurt. I have to go, but you saved me; thank you." Blaine made his way to his car.
Kurt smiled in despite of himself, "No problem. Bye," Kurt quickly made his way back to his car before Blaine could really have done anything to stop him.
Blaine bit his lip as he watched Kurt's car leave the parking lot of the mall.
The Anderson's were lucky that Danielle knew how to think on her feet and how to wrap presents on late notice. They had almost two minutes before a car popped up in their driveway and before a certain birthday girl ran inside to see her family.
"Happy birthday Sara!" Eli brought her into a hug.
"Thanks!" Sara pulled away and looked for her other cousins. She spotted the other boy and ran to him, "Blaine!"
Blaine gave a sweet smile and hugged her, "Hey, there birthday girl. How's your day been?"
"Good! I've gotten so many presents – but that's not important!" Sara flashed a smile.
"That's right…" Blaine shook head, "But you can tell me all about them later, okay?" he said in a hushed voice.
Sara's eyes went wide, "Okay!"
The birthday girl looked around the room for the rest of the family and quickly ran to hug Danielle, who hugged her back.
"Hey, Uncle Nick! Aunt Kerri," Eli greeted the married couple as they entered the house.
The greetings were pretty much the same; exchange hellos and hugs, with possibly some words being said.
"When is Elizabeth's group coming?" Nicholas asked his brother.
"They should be here in ten minutes," Melanie answered for her husband.
"All right," Nicholas said. "I talked to Liz this morning. Apparently, Joshua is bringing a girl." Nicholas smiled in amusement.
"Really?" Andrew spoke in surprise.
Kerri nods her head, "She said she's really pretty. We'll see how it goes,"
And soon enough, the devils being spoken about rushed into the house. The Anderson kids all hugged their Aunt Elizabeth and Uncle Mark, as well as their cousins Joshua and Emily.
"Guys, this is Quinn." Joshua introduced her first to the cousins. He smiled fondly at the pretty blonde as he brought an arm around her waist. The slightly curled, sandy blonde hair and the fair brown colored eyes that shinned with kindness really brought out the girls beauty. She was slim, and looked in great shape. Eli and Blaine guessed she did some sort of sport.
As Joshua was done giving all the names to the cousins, Quinn flashed a toothy smile, "It's a pleasure to meet you all. Happy birthday Sara."
Sara looked over Quinn before hugging her, "I like her, Joshie. She's pretty."
Quinn gave a laugh as she hugged the ten-year-old back.
"Finally we might get some girl power in this place," Danielle said and gave a knowing look to Emily, before she looked and smiled at Quinn.
"I'm so stupid! I can't believe I even helped him," Kurt spoke and shook his head, as he lied on the couch in Mercedes' apartment.
"Well you did say he was cute."
"Completely cute! And totally on my team!" Kurt positioned himself to look at Mercedes.
"You did say he was in a hurry to go… Maybe he wanted your number too. You never know," Mercedes immediately shut her eyes and regretted her choice of words.
Kurt flopped his head back down on the armrest, "And now I'll never know."
"Maybe you'll see him again. And if you do, make sure you get his number. Even if he isn't good for a boyfriend or already taken, you can be friends." Mercedes tried a smile.
Kurt laughed in pity, "You're right." Kurt sat up and smiled at his friend, "Thanks, Cedes."
Mercedes nodded her head, "That's what I'm here for, boo."
"Enough about me… Do you know who Quinn's dating?" Kurt frowned.
Mercedes bit her lip, "I know his name, but that's about it."
"Do we know him?" Kurt crossed his legs to get comfortable. Mercedes shook his head. "Well, what's his name?"
"Josh Miller." Mercedes said as she laughed. "There are so many Josh Miller's on Facebook… I don't ever know what he looks like."
Kurt shook his head, "We should get Quinn to let us meet him. I think we deserve to." Kurt smiled as they began to discuss really weird and awkward plans.
After a few hours, Kurt decided it was time to leave. He parted his ways with Mercedes and made his way back to his house. He stood in his living room thinking over all the things that had happened to him in the past few months; Tim being in his life, the way Tim treated him, the wedding that he had to be the man's man and the wedding planner for…
He's tried so hard to not let anything get to him, but how could he just let that guy go? Sure, he seemed like in a hurry and he did notice pink roller skates that probably weren't for him in his car. But Kurt let the boy creep through his mind while he went into the kitchen and started to scurry around and tried to find something to eat.
This boy can't seem to get out of his Kurt's head. Blaine. One name. One simply name that all of the sudden, Kurt can't seem to get rid of the name; of the tamed curly hair; of the soft, caring hazel eyes; of the cute smile that he was gifted with; of the boy in general.
Kurt felt obsessed, but why? He wasn't going to see him again. So why did he ponder on such a person that he met for ten minutes?
"You didn't even get his number?" Danielle exclaimed, agitated.
Blaine shook his head, "I don't know what's wrong with me." Blaine's face met his hands and shook his head. The other family had left just thirty minutes before and Danielle and Eli had demanded for Blaine to tell them why he seemed so out of it during the meet-up. He explained about his car, about the boy.
Danielle grabbed her laptop and placed it in her lap, "What's his last name?"
Blaine gave a painful look, "I don't know…"
Danielle and Eli stare at Blaine in shock. "You don't even know his last name?"
Blaine shook his head, "I never told him mine, so he never said his." Blaine sighed deeply.
"You'll probably never see him again. Why are you so wrapped up about this?" Eli tried to sound nice.
"I don't know… He was just really cute."
Eli shook his head, "You see cute guys every day. What makes this one so special?"
Danielle shot a dirty look at her oldest brother, "Eli, chill out. I bet you have done this exact same thing about a girl before, so don't judge."
"Yeah, but…"
"No buts. You agreed. End of discussion." Danielle snapped her fingers.
The room went quiet after the snap, but quickly the room filled with laughter. The brothers snapped their fingers in spite of their sister.
The siblings quickly changed the subject of the cute guy that Blaine met to something more interesting. But even if the topic wasn't about the boy, Kurt's eyes burned in his mind, the smile that he got the pleasure of seeing, the voice that was extremely unique. He knew there was a good chance he would never see Kurt again. He didn't even know his last name.
And yet, for the rest of the night, the boy he will most likely never see again wouldn't leave his mind.
A/N: So, yes... I had something else planned, but I think I liked this better. I know it seems weird the way I made Blaine and Kurt react, but I have a plan. And I will be updating more frequently, promise.
Oh. And happy new year lovely readers!
