Ideal
I own nothing.
Blaine's breath caught in his throat. Eli was holding onto Will's hand with tears stinging his eyes. Will gave a small smile to Blaine and quietly said, "Hey Blaine."
A sad smile came across his face, "Hey." Blaine inhaled and went over to the hospital bed. He looked over Will with care. He had the sheets rested in the middle of his chest. His leg was in a cast, in a sling holding it up. Fully laid back, Will looked comfortable enough.
"How you doing, kid?" Will spoke softly.
Blaine shook his head, "Injured and still insults me." Will smiled at the younger male and Blaine gave a kind chuckle.
"I'll leave you two to talk. I don't want the nurse to yell." Eli winked at the two.
Will slowly nodded his head. He blinked a few times at the still friend in front of him. His words were whispered, "You worry too much. I'm fine."
Eli smirked, "Of course you are." He looked at Blaine, "Look after him?"
"Of course." Blaine answered immediately.
Will proceeded to clear his throat, "I'm right here, you know."
Blaine and Eli laughed. Eli exited the room and Blaine took the seat where Eli was. Blaine observed Will closer. Cuts and bruises were plastered all over his exposed skin. The left eyebrow that was once bushy was gone and the other was cut up.
Will shook his head slowly, "Stop analyzing everything you see."
"I can't help it…" Blaine admitted.
A smile formed on Will's face, "You are so much like your brother sometimes."
"Oh, gross!" Blaine teased and Will smirked. "I'm… I…" Blaine thought of how to word his thoughts.
"Don't." Will said strongly. "I don't want apologies or anything of the sort."
Blaine smirked, "How did you know I was going to say sorry?"
Will shrugged his shoulder just slightly, "Because your eyes say it all." Blaine shook his head and looked up at the lights in the hospital room. "I learned that from you oh master; in case you have forgotten."
"No." Blaine answered and continued to look off.
"Eli did the same thing." Will observed.
Blaine looked back at the man, "Why am I not surprised?" Blaine smiled.
"You and Eli will always be more alike than what you think." Will said. Blaine shook his head and ignored him. The conversation died as Will placed his hand onto of Blaine's. "I'm okay, Blaine. As long as I have my family."
For the first time in all the years Blaine had known Will, the latter started to tear up. Will allowed Blaine to cup his hand with his. Will fought with himself. "It'll be okay." Blaine said with confidence.
Will swallowed loudly and his chest lifted and fell a few times. "It hurts, Blaine. I hurt."
Blaine's eyebrows scrunched together in sympathy. "Oh, Will…"
"I didn't have the heart to tell him." Blaine nodded at Will's words. "He's so – fragile. He doesn't even realize it. Even since Jenna." Will's voice cracked at the name.
"I know." Blaine's eyes stung with his own tears. "Did you at least tell Sierra?"
Will faintly nodded, "Yeah. She kind of made me, actually." Blaine bit his lip and held onto Will's hand. He spoke again, "Eli told me he played cupid."
Blaine gave a pathetic laugh and shook his head, "We're not discussing that right now."
"Yes we are. What was his name? I… I don-" Will shut his eyes tight. Blaine left go of his hand and stood up.
"What's wrong?" Blaine demanded.
Will shook his head, "Don't… worry. Just pain." Blaine shut his eyes tight and sat down once more. Silence erupted between them. Will spoke after some time, "So?"
Blaine opened his eyes and saw Will had recovered. "What?" Blaine played stupid.
"His name, dolt."
Blaine smiled at the Will-like insult, "Kurt. His name is Kurt."
Will nodded. "Heard he's a good friend of Eli's, too, right?"
Blaine followed Will's actions, "I, uh, was actually going to talk to you about that in a few minutes." Will's eyes flashed confusion. "I think Eli opened up to Kurt – or at least thought about it. I think he needs Kurt here. I already called him."
"Where is he?" Will interrupted.
"Lima," Blaine laughed. "I'm leaving to go get him pretty soon." Will nodded. "But if you need me to stay…"
"No. I have everyone else here. To be completely honest, I'm more worried about Eli than myself. I'll recover." Blaine laughed. "Don't get me wrong!" Will exclaimed. "I know he will recover too. But I just can't… I can't help him when it's me that's the problem."
Blaine shook his head. He took a hold of Will's hand once more, "You are not a problem, Will."
Will slightly squeezed Blaine's hand, "You know what I mean. He obviously has all of you, but if you think this Kurt will help then by all means… go for it."
"You should stop talking now." Blaine snickered.
"You're probably right. My throat's dry and it hurts." Will admitted.
Blaine nodded. "I'll probably see you tomorrow, then."
Will nodded and smiled softly, "I'll be here awaiting your return, Knight."
"Dad?" Kurt took a deep breath and watched Burt look up at him. The man hummed and raised his eyebrows. "You know Eli's best friend is in the hospital, right?"
"Yeah. What of it?" Burt straightened up in his car.
Kurt bit his lip, "Can I sit?" He motioned towards the chair. Burt nodded his head. Kurt sat and looked at Burt, "I talked to Blaine."
"Oh?"
Kurt nodded, "Dad… Eli needs me."
Burt's face turned to stone; he didn't show any emotion. "What do you mean?"
A deep breath inhaled from Kurt, "Blaine's coming to pick me up." Kurt watched his father closely.
Burt's eyebrow quirked and he uncomfortably moved in his seat. "Pick you up?" Kurt noted Burt's tone of voice was hard to analyze.
Kurt quickly replied, "He'll be here in two hours."
"I see." Burt's jaw tightened and looked away from Kurt. Focused on the carpet, Rachel barged into the room.
"You have got to be kidding me!" Rachel snapped, her hand placed on her hip.
The two Hummel men look at Rachel. "What?" Kurt responded.
Rachel shook her head and marched over to Kurt, "You arenot leaving, Kurt. This is a time of family."
Kurt shook his head, "You keep saying that, Rachel. But do you realize that we've been fighting since we left Columbus?" Kurt stood up and faced Rachel. She opened her mouth, but Kurt cut her off, "You've been bitching about Blaine and either commenting on it or taking it out on Finn since yesterday."
Rachel's face reddened, "That is not true!"
Kurt's eyes rolled, "It's the truth and you know it." Kurt crossed his arms across his chest. Finn and Carole entered the room as Kurt finished the sentence.
"It is…" Finn spoke his opinion.
Rachel snapped her head towards her beloved, "Finn, please. This is between Kurt and me."
"Actually," Kurt began. Rachel snapped her head back to Kurt and her eyes widened. "Finn is part of the complaining. You two met Blaine before. So what is exactly is your problem?"
"Our problem, Kurt," Burt joined to argument. "Is that we know nothing about this boy. He could put your life in danger, Kurt. How do we even know this isn't a scam?"
Kurt's eyes widened at his father, "You have got to be kidding me." He said with his jaw slightly dropped.
Finn spoke, "Sure, I met him a few times. But I don't know much about him. No one does."
Kurt shook his head at the words that were being said, "I'm getting to know Blaine. I'm sorry if I have a connection with-"
Rachel cut Kurt off, "Connection? Kurt, you've know him for like a week! Not even that."
"But I've known Eli for much longer than that, Rachel." Kurt fought.
Kurt caught glimpses at Carole all throughout the debate. The woman kept the look of interest and confusion on her face. She opened her mouth a few times, to speak her opinion and word, but someone always beat her to speak.
He took a look at his step-mother and his eyes pleaded for her to help him. Rachel begun to talk, "But Eli and Blaine are two completely different people, Kurt. I met them both and they are totally different."
"Uh…" Finn spoke softly.
Rachel snapped her head to Finn, "What Finn?"
"I met them both, too. And they both do seem very… nice. I just think that Kurt is falling too quickly." Finn confessed.
Kurt gave a relaxed and grateful smile to Finn in reply. To everyone else, Kurt spoke, "I'm not falling too quickly. I like Blaine, guys. But it's not like we're acting like rabbits, okay?" Kurt slightly chuckled at his comment. His face straightened and looked at Burt, "Blaine is coming in two hours."
"No way. Call him and tell him not to come. You are not leaving, Kurt!" Rachel stomped her foot.
"Rachel, just shut up and let him talk." Finn blew up. She twisted her head toward him and her mouth gaped open.
Carole smiled softy and moved past the younger couple and made it to her husband. She placed her hand in his and gave him a wink. "Go on, sweetie." Carole softly said to Kurt.
"Thank you," Kurt said. He took a deep breath and looked around the room at his family. "Blaine could have dealt with me not being there." He made eye-contact with Rachel and his face stiffened, "But Eli needs me there. He's a great friend that needs all the support he can get."
Rachel shook her head, "It just seems fishy to me. Why would Eli need you? If he does anything, it'll be helping his friend."
Kurt smiled softly, "Exactly. As Blaine put it, I'll be a part of the support system for the support system." Rachel opened her mouth and closed it, defeated. Kurt let a smirk form across his face.
The GPS system Blaine hooked up said he had two minutes until destination. Blaine stopped at a stop sign and took a deep breath. He continued driving after he looked for the clear.
Two minutes passed by quickly. Blaine bit his lip as he parked in front of the two story, white house. Blaine looked in the mirror and quietly whispered, "Oh my." He quickly brushed his fingers through his hair to fix it.
He got out of the car and straightened up his shirt. He shut the door to the car and made his way to the house door. He reached to knock when Rachel opened the door quickly and stared straight into Blaine's eyes, with disapproval written on her face.
"Um, hello Rachel." She placed her hands on her hips. Blaine bit his lip.
"Oh. Hello!" Rachel titled her head slightly, "Have you come to kidnap-" Rachel was cut off by a woman behind her.
"Rachel," She sternly said and made her way beside her. She gave a smile to Blaine, "You must be Blaine."
Blaine nodded his head, "You must be," Blaine thought for just a moment, "Carole. May I call you Carole?"
The woman's smile widened, "Of course you may. Come on in. I hope you don't mind if you stick around a bit. Burt's talking to Kurt about a few things."
"That's fine." Blaine nodded and moved past Rachel to follow Carole. Rachel's eyes narrowed at the boy.
Carole motioned to the couch, "Take a seat." Blaine smiled in gratitude and took a seat. "Rachel, go help Finn with the bathroom. I'm afraid of what he'll get into if you leave him alone for a long time."
Rachel huffed, "Fine." She caught a look at Blaine before she exited.
Carole turned to Blaine and explained, "The toilet's plugged and something is wrong with the drain." She took a seat on the couch next to him. Positioning her body to face him, she continued, "Finn was trying to fix it when you came." Blaine nodded his head, understanding.
"So Kurt's with his father?" Blaine placed his hands in his lap.
"Yes," Carole answered. "They should be in here soon." She quickly changed the subject, "So what does your family usually do on a normal Thanksgiving?"
Blaine smiled, "My dad's family came today and we ate lunch together. Tomorrow is when my mom's family gets together; we go over to my uncle's place."
Carole nodded her head, "I see. So will Kurt be joining you tomorrow then?" She pushed and raised her eyebrows in suspicion.
Blaine was caught slightly off guard, "Well… Yes, I suppose so. To be honest, it didn't cross my mind. If he feels comfortable about it, he's welcome to join us. It – um – it won't be a problem, I mean. My parents love him."
"He's met your parents?" Carole asked, shocked.
"Yes. But I live my parents." Blaine trailed off when he heard movement from the stairs. He looked over to see Kurt and his father.
Kurt smiled, "Blaine!" The said boy stood up and smiled. Kurt went over to him and pulled him into a soft hug. He whispered, "I'm sorry."
"For?" Blaine whispered in reply.
Burt walked over and stood by Carole, who stood as well. Kurt pulled away from Blaine and gave a wink to the shorter male. Blaine smiled gently at Kurt and proceeded to look over at the married couple. His eyes landed on Burt and waited for him to speak.
At the attention, Burt began to list his expectations, "I expect a phone call when you get back to Columbus. I'm going to assume that Blaine will be driving, so I expect you to be careful and respect the weather conditions." Kurt and Blaine nodded their heads in reply. Burt turned to Blaine and looked at him directly in the eyes. He spoke again with a firm, confident voice, "And I expect to hear that my son is okay. You are taking him away from me on Thanksgiving."
Blaine nodded his head in a hurry, "I know, sir. I'm very sorry. I-" Burt cut him off.
"Stop." Blaine's mouth shut immediately. "I will accept the fact that Kurt has chosen his new friends and new boyfriend over his family on only one condition."
Kurt's eyebrow quirked in curiosity at the sentence. Blaine swallowed and nodded his head, "Yes?" He asked quickly.
Burt looked at the two and took a deep breath, "You will join us next Friday for our regular dinner. If you can't make it, then we'll find some other day."
Blaine's eyebrows shot up in surprise. Kurt looked at Blaine in worry. He bit his lip and awaited his response.
With a quick glance at his boyfriend, Blaine looked at Burt and Carole, "I would be honored." He gave a striking smile. Kurt's face lit in a smile at his answer.
Carole and Burt nodded their heads simultaneously.
Rachel and Finn walked into the room. Rachel stopped by the stairs and crossed her arms over her chest. Her face plastered a strict look. Finn did the opposite: a smile formed on his face and he walked over to the group of people.
He greeted Blaine his usual way, "Hey, dude." He moved in front of the wedded couple and faced Blaine. He placed a hand on his shoulder to greet him further.
"Hi," Blaine said and smiled. Finn looked around the four people and looked awkward. He swiftly took a seat on the couch and observed.
Rachel made a noise to make sure her presence was known. All heads turned to face Rachel. "I am very upset." She focused her sight on Finn, "And you just go straight to the cause."
Finn shut his eyes tight. Burt and Carole look away from the girl and back at Kurt and Blaine. Kurt's jaw clenched and shook his head in disapproval. Blaine looked guilty and looked away from Rachel.
"You cannot blame you being upset on Blaine. I've said it twice and I'll say it again, you've been 'upset' ever since we left." Kurt snapped. He looked over at Blaine smiled couldn't help but smile gently. He looked down at the hands in his pockets and took a hold of Blaine's arm slightly.
Rachel shifted from one foot to the other and unfolded her arms to firmly grasp her hips. "I can't believe," Rachel looked at Blaine, "that you are taking him away from us tonight."
"Let it go, Rachel." Carole snapped. Kurt couldn't help but smirk at the woman's words.
The defeated girl just shook her head. She sighed and went over to stand with her family. "As much as I hate to admit it, I guess you are right. You two should probably leave now so that you won't be arriving too late. It takes a while to get there and weather isn't good."
Burt nodded, "She's right. Carole and I will see you both next week, okay?"
Kurt smiled at his father. Blaine copied Kurt's actions. Kurt moved to hug his father. "Thank you." He whispered in his ear.
"Right, kid." The two pulled away. "You two be safe." Burt requested.
Kurt nodded his head and made his way over to Carole. "Thank you so much, Carole."
Carole smiled in the embrace. They pulled away and she gave Kurt a wink and a suggestive smile. Kurt gave a pity laugh and shook his head.
Finn stood up and gave his brother a small hug. "I'll see you later." Kurt nodded and moved over to Rachel.
He gave her a knowing smile and shook his head. In return, she rolled her eyes, "Get over here and give me a hug."
Blaine smiled at the words. Kurt placed his arms around her for a short time and she hugged him back. "You're impossible." Kurt mentioned.
"You love it." Rachel said as she pulled away. Kurt gave a smile and shrugged. He rolled his eyes in mock and Rachel gave a laugh.
Kurt stepped back to Blaine. The latter took his hands out of his pockets with his keys in one hand. "We should get going…" Blaine spoke.
"Be safe. And don't distract yourself, okay? So limit the talk and concentrate." Burt said to Blaine.
Kurt couldn't help but chuckle, "Dad, you're sounding like he's your son." Before Burt to reply, Kurt quickly added, "We'll be safe, don't worry. I'll call you when we get to town."
Burt took a deep breath and nodded his head. Kurt turned around and walked to the door, Blaine followed hurriedly. After gripping a hold of the suitcase by the door, Kurt opened the door. Blaine stepped outside and waited when Kurt turned to look back at his family.
"I'll see you all later, you overprotective idiots." Kurt smirked and didn't wait for the comebacks.
Kurt and Blaine started to walk side by side when a few steps in, Blaine slipped his hand in Kurt's. The two smiled at each other and Blaine gave a wink. "I missed you." Blaine confessed.
"I missed you too. Was Eli okay with you leaving?" Kurt asked in concern.
Blaine opened the passenger door for Kurt to get in. "He was fine with it." He answered briefly. He let go of Kurt's hand with hesitation and gave him a smile. Blaine took Kurt's suitcase from him and Kurt slipped into the seat. Blaine placed the belonging in the backseat and hurried over to the driver's side.
"So how bad is Will?" Kurt asked right away.
"He's…" Blaine paused a moment and started the car. He continued to go down the road and answered the question, "He's in pain. He won't tell Eli all of it, though. Probably won't, either, until he has stable support."
Kurt's eyebrows scrunched together in confusion, "Okay…"
Blaine bit his lip and caught a glance at Kurt. "Eli's very calm and collected if his emotional feelings aren't tested. But if they are, he's extremely – as Will put it – fragile. I'm pretty sure he hasn't told you everything about his past."
"No. But I don't expect him to." Kurt replied quickly.
A nod came from Blaine, "He'll probably be telling you most it over the next few days." Blaine looked over the road and observed the rain that was quickly pouring down. He turned on his wipers and let them do their job while Blaine did his.
Kurt gave a nod in response and respected Blaine's concentration and kept quiet.
The conversation ceased when the weather hurriedly got worse. Kurt held his phone in his hands and licked his lips. He felt the need to talk, but decided against the action.
The weather cleared up a few miles outside of Columbus. Blaine gave a sigh of relief, "I hate driving in rain."
Kurt gave a chuckle, "You did fine." He complimented the boy.
Blaine gave a smirk, "Well, thank you. You should probably call your dad." He suggested.
"You're right." Kurt responded. "He's probably sitting by the phone and staring at it." He joked.
"I wouldn't be surprised." Blaine smirked.
Kurt shook his head and pulled the phone up to his ear. "Hello?" was quickly answered.
"Hey, dad. We are about to hit the city limits." Kurt replied.
"Okay. Was Blaine safe?"
"Yes, dad. He was perfectly safe and it went fine. We barely talked." Kurt rolled his eyes to himself.
"Good. Well, call me later. I'm going to bed." Burt said.
Kurt gave a laugh, "Okay. Love you."
"Love you too, Kurt." Burt replied.
Kurt pulled the phone away from his ear when he didn't hear anything coming from the earpiece. He shook his head and turned to Blaine. "He's so strange."
Blaine gave a warm smile, "But he's your father no matter what. That's all that matters, right?"
A nod came from Kurt in reaction, "You are so right."
"We'll be going to my house. And we'll figure out how we want to do the sleeping arrangements when we get there." Blaine announced.
Kurt nodded and then scrunched his eyebrows together after a few seconds, "Sleeping arrangements? Am I sleeping at your place?"
Blaine raised his eyebrows and opened his mouth. He quickly shut his mouth and thought a moment. "Well… I thought it would be easier. So that we can all get ready for tomorrow." He replied after a while.
"Tomorrow?" Kurt asked.
Blaine bit his lip, "Sorry – I'm sorry… I'm just assuming. If you don't feel comfortable about it, it's fine. But I think it's safe to say you're invited to come with us tomorrow to my Uncle Zack's." Kurt's eyebrow quirked and Blaine caught a look at him. He hurriedly said, "I know Sierra and Evelyn aren't going, because they want to stay at the hospital tomorrow. You're welcome to do whatever you want. I, uh…" Blaine trailed off to think.
Kurt quickly spoke, "You're so cute when you're nervous." Kurt smiled in affection.
A stoplight turned red and Blaine came to a stop. He gave a pity chuckle. "Sorry…"
Kurt's face lit in a smile, "Don't be sorry, Blaine. I would love to join you tomorrow. But if I'm going to be a trouble, then I'll stay behind."
Blaine shook his head, "You won't be a problem-"
"It's green." Kurt softly interrupted.
"-Oh, thanks. But you won't be. And if, you know, you want to actually go with us, you can stay the night. If you want! I mean, we'll figure something out."
Kurt's face gave a small flush and he smiled gratefully at Blaine, who kept his eyes on the road. "It sounds like you've thought about this." Kurt observed.
Blaine felt his face heat, "Uh, possibly." He answered honestly. Kurt decided to drop the talk and Blaine concentrated on the dark road. "Can you call Eli and tell him we're about four blocks away?"
"Sure," Kurt proceeded to do as asked. "Ringing." Kurt said.
"Hello?" Eli's voice answered.
"Hey. We're about four blocks away." Kurt replied.
A silence sounded on Eli's end before his answer, "Okay. I'll be waiting."
"All right. We'll see you in a minute." Kurt smiled to himself.
"Kurt?" Eli said. Kurt made a humming sound and waited. "Thank you."
"No problem." Kurt hung up as Blaine turned into the street. Eli was standing out on the porch, hugging his body.
Blaine stopped the car and turned it off. "I'll get your bag. You go ahead to Eli." Blaine announced to Kurt.
"You sure?" Kurt asked. Blaine gave a nod in response and sent a wink his way. Kurt gave a smile in response and quickly got out of the car.
He gave a quick glance back at Blaine and then made his way up to the porch. Eli's eyes glimmered with tears. Kurt bit his lip. "Hey." Eli spoke.
Kurt looked at him with sympathy, "Hey, Eli."
Blaine grabbed the bag and watched Kurt and Eli from afar.
Eli bit his lip and shut his eyes tight. "I feel…" He trailed off and shook his head. Kurt took a deep breath and stood closer to him. "I'm not good with physical contact. But right now, I… I don't know how I feel."
Kurt licked his lips and shook his head slightly, "That's normal, Eli. But Blaine told me that he was going to be okay… right?"
A nod came from Eli and he unfolded his arms to lie at his side. "I'm glad that you're here, Kurt." Eli honestly spoke. Blaine came up from behind Kurt and smiled in support.
A shake of the head came from Kurt and he quickly opened his arms. Eli swiftly brought his arms around Kurt and took a hold of him. Kurt gave Eli's back a soft rub. Blaine moved around the hugging friends and smiled kindly. He went inside the house and placed Kurt's suitcase by the door.
Eli pulled away from Kurt and smiled at him. To his dismay, a tear escaped his eyes and he quickly wiped it away. Kurt gave him a sweet smile and rubbed Eli's arm in support.
"We should go in. It's getting chilly out." Eli suggested. Kurt nodded his head in reply and the two joined Blaine inside.
"Hello, Kurt." Melanie greeted him kindly.
Kurt gave a smile in reply and nodded his head as a hello. Kurt watched as a little girl ran across the hallway and smiled sweetly at Blaine.
"Blaine!" her small voice spoke.
The spoken to boy smiled at the little girl. He kneeled down and spoke, "Shouldn't you be asleep, little one?" She shook her head and smiled innocently. Blaine laughed and looked up at Kurt. "Evelyn, this is Kurt." He looked back at Evelyn. "Kurt, meet Evelyn. She's Sierra's daughter."
Kurt smiled at the girl. Evelyn looked at Kurt and smiled softly. "Hi there." Kurt said.
Evelyn ducked her head in shyness and took a hold of Blaine's hand.
Blaine gave a smile to Kurt, "She's shy once you first meet her." He gave Evelyn's hand a squeeze, "But she really opens up once you get to know her. Isn't that right, Lyn?"
Evelyn gave a shy smile and looked back at Kurt. Her smile kept on her face, and she quickly released her hand from Blaine's, and turned around and left.
Eli placed a hand on Kurt's back. "Come on, I'll take you to meet Sierra."
Kurt nodded at him. Eli followed Evelyn out of the room, with Blaine and Kurt following quickly behind.
Making it into the living room, Sierra stood up and went over to the three men. "You must be the famous Kurt." Sierra smirked.
Kurt gave a nervous laugh, "I don't know about the famous part, but I am Kurt." He stuck out a hand for her to shake and she proceeded to do so.
"Oh, please. Blaine doesn't shut up about you." Sierra winked.
Blaine's face flushed, "Sierra!" Kurt turned to Blaine and quirked an eyebrow. "It's not true." Kurt's face fell slightly. "I mean, it is. But…"
Eli started to laugh, "What he means is that he hasn't really had time to give Sierra the full furry of Kurt-talk." Eli smirked at the name he gave.
"There's a name for it? Brilliant!" Sierra replied sarcastically and slapped her hands together in a clap.
Blaine's face turned beat red. "Okay, that's enough." Kurt couldn't help but laugh at the whole situation. He stepped back to stand beside Blaine. He placed a hand in Blaine's and gave it a small squeeze. Blaine smiled at the action and Kurt gave a wink.
"Sierra and Evelyn will be in Eli's old room. Eli will be down in the basement. Danielle will be in her room." Melanie started to plan out the arrangements. Andrew was seated beside her, looking at all the people in the room. "Blaine will be in his room. Are you staying Kurt?" Melanie asked.
Kurt looked at Blaine and the second nodded his head. "If I won't be a problem, I would love to stay. But really, if I'm in the way-" Kurt was cut off by the woman.
"You are not a problem, dear. Well, you could share the basement with Eli; it's a pretty big place. How's that?" Melanie looked at Eli who nodded his head. Eli caught a look at Kurt and gave a small smile. Kurt returned it and gave a nod to Melanie. "Good!" she exclaimed at the established sleeping arrangements.
The conversation continued with the plans to be made. They all agreed on leaving at nine the next morning for a trip to the hospital. And leaving whenever they felt was necessary for Zackary's house. Blaine mentioned to Kurt that Wes and Anna were going to be joining the family.
Andrew told the people that he had called Zack and told him that they would be a little late because of Will and they all understood the reason.
The conversation ended and they all began to go their separate ways. Danielle showed Sierra and a sleeping Evelyn to Eli's old room and Danielle didn't bother going back downstairs and headed straight to bed.
Blaine took Kurt's suitcase down to the basement when he escorted Eli and Kurt.
Shocked, Kurt looked over the basement. The room was filled with a huge corner couch and a regular sized one. There looked to be a small bedroom, a closet, and a bathroom that filled out the rest of the space. "Seriously, you guys must be rich." Kurt spoke, not really to any particular person.
Blaine shook his head, "Our parents are rich."
Kurt snapped his head towards Blaine and shook his head. Eli gave a laugh, "Our family has some money, sure. We have a cabin a few hours away from here and I think we still own a house somewhere." Kurt's jaw dropped slightly and shook his head.
"You two get some sleep, okay?" Blaine said to the two.
Eli nodded, "I haven't slept in…" he sighed. "I don't even want to count."
Blaine and Kurt look at him in sympathy. Eli shook their looks off and went into the bathroom. Blaine took a hold of Kurt's hands and smiled softly. "I'm glad you're here. I'll have to fill you in on all the people, though." Blaine rolled his eyes.
"How big is your family?" Kurt asked nervously.
"Not too big. My mom has three brothers and they all have kids. I'll go into detail later." Blaine released Kurt's hands and brought his arms around Kurt's waist. "I'll see you in the morning. Bright and early."
Kurt gave a laugh, "Of course you will." He brought his arms around Blaine's neck. "Goodnight, Blaine." Kurt leaned in slightly.
Blaine smirked and brought Kurt's body closer, "Goodnight, lovely." He brought his lips onto Kurt's to kiss softly. Kurt's hand fell into the back of Blaine's head and gripped his fingers in his styled hair. Blaine smiled into the kiss and pulled Kurt even closer to him, allowing their stomachs to touch slightly.
"Oh good Lord." Eli playfully said as he walked out of the bathroom. Blaine pulled away and shot a glare at Eli.
Kurt's face flushed and looked at Eli in embarrassment. Blaine took a look at Kurt and then looked back to Eli, "Of course you had to ruin it. We were saying goodnight."
Eli smirked, "Sorry, I just like being a cock block."
Blaine's face reddened and shook his head. Kurt brought his forehead down on Blaine's shoulder and made a soft moan in defeat. Blaine brought his arms around Kurt and hugged him. Eli went to the smaller couch and began to extend it into the bed.
Kurt lifted his head up and looked at Blaine. He placed a hand on the boy's cheek and smiled an affectionate smile. "I'll see you in the morning." He repeated.
Blaine nodded his head in approval and leaned into Kurt's touch. "Of course." He replied.
"Bye Blaine!" Eli obnoxiously said.
The spoken to boy looked at his brother and glared, "Bye Eli!" he snapped. He turned to Kurt and his face softened, "Sweet dreams, lovely." Blaine kissed Kurt passionately. Close to the end of the kiss, Kurt couldn't help but smile.
Blaine pulled away and squeezed Kurt's hand slightly. With that as their goodbye, Blaine left the basement and went back upstairs.
Kurt turned to Eli who had finished the bed. "We have a few options here." Eli looked over the two couches. "One of us can sleep on the big couch and the other on the couch/bed thing. Or we can both sleep on the couch/bed thing." Eli smiled fondly at his choice of words.
"Well, we should probably not sleep in the same bed." Kurt smirked.
Eli laughed, "That's true. So I don't care what I slept on. You can pick." Eli opened his arms to the two options.
Kurt nodded his head, "Well, I need to get ready so you can flip a coin while I'm gone." Eli nodded.
"Nice choice. I always love a good coin flip." Eli joked.
Kurt laughed and shook his head. He went to his suitcase and he went to the restroom and proceeded to get ready.
Blaine flopped down onto his bed and pulled the sheets over him. He took a deep breath and thought about the events of the day. Texting Kurt in the morning, the worry for Eli, finding out where Eli was, surprising himself with resulting to actually calling Kurt for help, forgetting the problems for a few hours, going back to the hospital and seeing Will, and picking Kurt put.
Blaine shook his head to himself and picked up his phone from the nightstand. He flicked through it for just a moment before he found Kurt's messages. He sent a text, 'I know we did it before but I just want to say goodnight'
He wasn't expecting Kurt to text him back and he couldn't help but think maybe he was going overboard with the whole thing, but he couldn't help but feel the need to say goodnight again.
His phone beeped. Blaine took the phone and looked, 'Goodnight sexy! I can't wait to see your gorgeous self in the morning! Or should be sext tonight instead?'
Blaine jaw clinched and sat up. He shook his head and quickly sent a reply, 'Where's Kurt?'
Almost immediately, the reply came, 'Whatcha talking about Blainis?' Blaine couldn't help but laugh. Eli liked to mess around and he could tell it was one of those moments. He won't deny that it annoyed him, but Eli was always happy when he joked around.
'Did he fall asleep?' Blaine sent.
'Siriusly whatcha talking about? I is Kurt.' Blaine shook his head. He was about to reply when another text came through. 'I hate your brother.'
Blaine laughed and fell back onto his pillow and replied, 'Lol where were you?'
He didn't have to wait long, 'Getting ready for bed. Your brother cheated.'
'I'm not surprised. What did he do?' Blaine sent his reply.
'He used a two-headed quarter to pick our sleeping arrangements.' Kurt replied.
Blaine smiled in fondness, 'Let me guess.. he has the bed.'
Kurt didn't take long, 'Bingo.'
'was his name-o. ;)' He couldn't help himself.
'That will forever be Eli's nickname now.' Kurt's reaction made Blaine's face hurt from smiling.
'You mean Bingo's.'
'He hates it. Operation Nickname: Success.' Blaine could just see Kurt's face smiling when he typed the words. He laughed at Kurt's message and typed a reply.
'YES! We should get to sleep, though.'
'You're right. Night, Blaine. :)' Kurt replied to him.
Blaine smiled fondly and put his phone to his chest for a moment. He thought and replied, 'Sleep tight. Don't let Bingo bite.'
A/N: Wow. This month has been good to Klaine. Lets hope it stays that way throughout the year! Because, well, how can the two have a magazine shoot, be on the cover, have interviews, and not be canon! Oh. And I really want that magazine. Thoughts?
