Anyway, on with the show!
Blaine and Kurt must have been at the police station for over three hours answering question after question from the officers in charge of Darren's murder case. Tonight was meant to be Kurt and Blaine's first date. It was meant to be perfect. Instead, it had turned into a frightening night of threats from Jason and it had ended in Darren's murder. Kurt wanted tonight to be over. He wanted to be out of the police station and back in Blaine's arms. Blaine was his baby, and his baby had just lost his brother. He needed comfort and Kurt wanted to give him that comfort, but the police officers separated them for questioning. Kurt was going insane. It was question after question from the officers, and he was starting to think they were asking the same questions over and over again, and he didn't know how much longer her could stand this. He just wanted Blaine. He wanted Blaine and he wanted to go home.
"You're free to go Mister Hummel. Your father is waiting for you," the officer said, finally.
"What about my boyfriend? What about Blaine Anderson? Is he free to go yet? I want to see Blaine," Kurt asked as the officers opened the door for him to leave.
"We still have a few more questions for Mister Anderson," the officer answered as she leaned against the door looking at Kurt.
"I'll wait for him then," Kurt said as he got up from the table and walked out into the corridor.
"Go home, Mister Hummel. Mister Anderson is gonna be here for a while. There is a lot we need to talk to him about tonight," the officer maintained. Kurt gave out a disgusted sigh.
"He's just lost his brother. Can't your questions wait at least 'til tomorrow? He needs his family and friends around him," Kurt insisted. The officer sighed.
"The sooner we get the answers we need from Mister Anderson, the sooner we can charge Jason Karofsky with Darren Anderson's murder. I'm not keeping your boyfriend here to be cruel. I'm doing it so I can get the family the justice they deserve," the officer revealed, offering Kurt a small smile. Kurt felt a little bit sick.
"Karofsky? Jason's last name is Karofsky? Does he have a brother called Dave?" Kurt asked as the officer walked him out.
"I'm not sure. You'll have to ask your boyfriend about that one," the Officer said before she left Kurt in the waiting room where Burt was sat waiting for him. Burt stood up and walked over to Kurt and, for the first time since all of this had started, Burt hugged his son and held him close as Kurt sobbed into Burt's chest. Kurt never thought he'd miss his dad's warm chest as much as he did right now.
"It's okay Kurt. It's okay," Burt comforted, holding Kurt close. Burt was thinking about what Kate and James Anderson were going through right now. They'd just lost their eldest child and Burt was thanking God that Kurt was safe, that his baby boy was in his arms right now safe and sound.
"They won't let me see Blaine, Dad. I need to see him. I need to make sure he's alright. He needs me. It's all my fault: Jason attacking us, Darren's death. It's all my fault! We were only in the park because it was Blaine's and my first date. It's all my fault!" Kurt said, sobbing even harder into Burt's chest. Burt pulled Kurt's face up gently so that Kurt was looking at Burt.
"None of this is your fault. This is Jason's fault. He killed Darren. None of this is your fault or Blaine's! It was all Jason, and there gonna put him away for a very long, long time," Burt said resolutely, wiping away Kurt's tears.
"Come on. Let's get you home," Burt suggested.
"I want to wait for Blaine." Kurt resolved with a sigh.
"I know you want to see him, Kurt, but he needs to be with his family right now. Wait for a couple of days, Buddy. Wait for Blaine to get in touch with you, okay?" Burt said as he held opened the door to the parking garage. Kurt sighed.
"Okay." Kurt agreed before walking out of the door into the cold night air. The air was so bitter cold that it bit at Kurt as he walked with his dad towards Burt's car. Kurt didn't say a word as he rode home with Burt. He just looked out of the window, pressing his flushed, tear stained face against the cold glass of the car window. Sometime during hr drive, Kurt fell asleep. When Burt stopped the car, he looked over at his sleeping son and remembered when Kurt was little and how peaceful he looked asleep. Burt gently, though grudgingly, woke Kurt.
"We're home, Buddy," Burt said with a small smile. Kurt yawned.
"Thanks for coming to get me, Dad," Kurt said as father and son walked towards the front door. Burt pushed his key into the lock and turned, it opening the door. Kurt walked inside and Burt followed, re-locking the door behind him.
"Kurt you're my son. I'll always come and get you. No matter what time it is and no matter where it is, I'll be there," Burt promised with a reassuring smile, which Kurt returned.
"Thanks, Dad. I'm going to bed. Night," Kurt said with a tired smile still on his face before he made his way upstairs to his bedroom. Burt sighed a little before he made his own way to bed. Kurt shut his bedroom door and got undressed, putting his phone on the bedside table. He got into bed and pulled the covers over him. Just then, his phone went off and he grabbed it.
From Blaine
To Kurt
Are you awake? If I woke you up I'm sorry but I really need you to right now xx
Kurt smiled a little.
From Kurt
To Blaine
I just got home so you didn't wake me. I miss you x How are you? Stupid question I know, but I have to ask x
Kurt put his phone on the pillow next to him before grabbing his ipod, putting it in his ears and hitting play. Brown Eyes by Lady Gaga filled his ears as his phone went off again.
From Blaine
To Kurt
I miss you too x And I'll be ok x Mom's a mess and so is Darren's girlfriend, Jenna x Turns out she's pregnant. Dad's actually being supportive of Mom and Cora is cuddled up against me at the moment x We're on our way home x I'm sorry about tonight. It wasn't meant to be this way. I understand if you want to break up with me over this. I'm so fucked up it's unreal.
Kurt's heart felt heavy at reading Blaine's text. He quickly typed back a reply.
From Kurt
To Blaine
Blaine Matthew Anderson! Are you crazy? I love you x I'm not going anywhere x We've been through so much together x Couples have their ups and downs x This will make us stronger x Bottom line: I'm not going anywhere.
Kurt hit send with a smile. Blaine had finally arrived home and was heading inside carrying Cora when his phone went off. His parents and Darren's girlfriend Jenna had disappeared into the kitchen.
"I'm gonna put Cora to bed and head to bed myself. Night," Blaine called, carrying Cora upstairs. He didn't get a reply. He laid Cora down in her bed pulling the covers over her and kissing her forehead. After he turned off her light, he pulled out his phone and read Kurt's text and smiled for the first time since Jason had attacked them in the park. He typed back a reply as he walked into his room and sat on his bed as he typed.
From Blaine
To Kurt
Kurt Elizabeth Hummel! I'm only crazy for you and you know it x I love you too x And you're right. This will make us stronger. Darren's funeral is next week x Will you be there, please? I really need you there with me x You're amazing, Kurt x Don't ever change x I'm so lucky to have you.
Blaine hit send and tossed his phone on the bed, then grabbed a faded grey t-shirt and his black joggers, putting them on for bed. He got into bed and put his phone next to him on the pillow. Blaine's phone went off again. He smiled as he read the text.
From Kurt
To Blaine
'You make me feel like I'm living the teenage dream when you look at me, just one touch and baby I believe, this is real, let's run away and never turn back' That was the first song I ever heard you sing. You're my teenage dream, Blaine Anderson. I'm gonna go to sleep I'm on the verge of passing out x Sorry xx You gonna be ok?
Blaine sighed a happy sigh. He remembered in his head the day he first met Kurt: Kurt stopping him on the staircase to ask what was going on, Blaine taking his hand and leading him towards the senior commons, singing Teenage Dream in Kurt's direction, the smile of Kurt's face. Blaine really did love Kurt's smile. It was infectious.
From Blaine
To Kurt
Go to sleep, Baby xx I'll be fine x I'm gonna try and sleep too x I love you x See you soon x
Blaine hit send before putting his phone under his pillow. He fell asleep immediately.
Kurt stayed home over the weekend as per his Dad's orders. Burt kept saying that 'The Andersons need time to grieve as a family.' Kurt wanted to see Blaine so badly. He hadn't seen him since Friday night and the funeral was set for the following Friday. The weekend went painful slow for Kurt and Blaine. Kurt spent his weekend baking with his dad, hanging out with his girls, Mercedes and Rachel, and doing anything that would distract him from being apart from Blaine. Whereas, Blaine spent his weekend surrounded by crying family members and Darren's friends. He wanted to escape. He wanted to be with Kurt, but his Mom and Dad wouldn't let him leave the house so he was stuck until Monday.
Finally, Monday came around and Kurt drove up to Dalton. He arrived at school and sat in his car for a minute waiting to see Blaine's car pull up. His phone went off and he grabbed it.
From Blaine
To Kurt
Mom's keeping me off school 'til after the funeral. I'll be back next Monday x Can you tell the Warblers council for me? I miss you x I can't see you 'til the funeral on Friday x Mom's said you can ride in the car with us x I had to beg her to let you x so come to my house at 9:30 on Friday x I really miss you Kurt x I love you x
Kurt's heart sank as he read Blaine's text. He'd waited two days to see Blaine to be told now that he was going to have to wait another four before he could see his boyfriend. Kurt sighed and got out of his car, grabbing his bag, putting it over his shoulder. As he walked towards the front doors of Dalton, he text Blaine back.
From Kurt
To Blaine
I miss you too. I miss you so much it hurts x Four days might as well be a lifetime x but I understand why your Mom is keeping you off school 'til the funeral. You need to be with your family right now. I'm with Wes in French first so I'll tell him then. I'll see you Friday x I love you so much Blaine x See you soon x
Kurt hit send as he walked into Dalton. He put his phone on silent and put it in his pocket as he walked to his first lesson of the day, French. Kurt wasn't in the mood. He'd only come into today because he wanted to see Blaine. He was still shaken up about what had happened on Friday. Maybe he could go home at lunch. He was going to try to make it through the day and if got too much, he was going home. He walked into French and took his seat next to Wes.
"Hey," Kurt greeted with a small smile as he pulled out his books.
"Hey, Kurt. Where's Blaine? You two normally come to French together. Did you two have a fight or something?" Wes asked. Kurt took a deep breath.
"No we didn't. Jason attacked us on Friday while me and Blaine we're on our date. Darren defended us and he was killed. Blaine won't be back in school 'til next Monday," Kurt let it all spill out and sighed when he finished as though saying those words had been a great effort (and they were), Wes looked at Kurt shocked.
"Oh my God, Kurt! I'm so sorry. How's Blaine doing? How's the family?" Wes asked.
"I dunno I haven't seen him since the night it happened," Kurt said, trying not to cry.
"Kurt, go home. You shouldn't be here. It must be a shock for you," Wes told him. Kurt had started to cry. He wiped his tears away.
"You're right. I'll see you whenever," Kurt sighed and got up from his desk and walked towards the door. He told his French teacher where he was going before he walked out of the classroom toward his car. He texted his dad as he reached his car.
From Kurt
To Dad
Dad, I'm heading home. Going into school was a mistake. I fell apart in French. Blaine's not back till next week. I'm sorry... I tried, Dad. Really, I did.
Kurt hit send then he started the car and drove home, fighting back his tears. He felt so hopeless. He wanted to be with Blaine but he couldn't and it was killing him inside. Kurt pulled into his driveway and got out of the car just as his phone went off. He had two texts he read the first one because it was from his dad.
From Dad
To Kurt
Ok Buddy. I understand. I'll talk to the school about letting you have a couple of days off. You gonna be ok at home? I can always come home or Carole can if you don't wanna be alone.
Kurt smiled a little. He really did love his dad. Kurt thought back to when Burt had his heart attack and he remembered how heartbroken he was at the thought of losing his dad. Kurt opened the front door and walked inside dropping his bag on the floor, shutting the door before he typed back his reply.
From Kurt
To Dad
I'm fine, Dad x You and Carole are working x I'll be fine I promise x I just need to be alone right now x I'm gonna get a shower and go to bed anyway x I love you x see you later
Kurt hit send before he went to read the second message on his phone.
From Blaine
To Kurt
Baby are you ok? Wes texted me to say how sorry he was about Darren and he also said you broke down in class and that you'd gone home x I'm worried about you x
Kurt sighed a little. He loved Blaine but Blaine shouldn't have been worrying about him right now. Blaine should have been worrying about himself and his family. Kurt walked up stairs to his bedroom opening the door before lying down on his bed as he typed back his reply.
From Kurt
To Blaine
I'm fine x Just a bit shaken up x I'll be ok x I miss you xx
Kurt hit send and threw his phone on the bed. He got up again and walked into his bathroom. Taking off his uniform, he turned on the shower. Then he stepped under the hot water, letting it wash over him as he thought about everything that had happened since he'd sang Baby It's Cold Outside with Blaine: the kiss, the car, the memory loss, the overdose, the first date and now Darren's death. Kurt sighed and turned off the shower, grabbing a towel and wrapping it round his waist. He walked into his bedroom to get changed into his favourite pair of pyjamas. It had started raining while Kurt was in the shower and the rain was hitting the glass window hard. Kurt's phone started ringing and Katy Perry's Teenage Dream filled the room, which was Kurt's personal ringtone for Blaine.
"Hey, Blaine," Kurt answered his phone with a smile.
"Baby, do me a favour? Come downstairs and open the door! It's pouring down out here and I'm soaked!" Blaine asked and Kurt nearly dropped the phone. His boyfriend was outside his house in the pouring rain.
"I'm coming," Kurt said, hanging up before running downstairs and throwing open his front door to find Blaine standing there soaking wet.
"Blaine!" Kurt exclaimed with a smile pulling Blaine inside to escape the rain. Blaine shrived and shook the rain out of his hair.
"Oh my gaga! I'm so sorry!" Kurt cried, feeling very bad for letting Blaine stand out in the rain.
"Kurt, it's fine," Blaine assured, kissing his boyfriend's lips to calm him down.
"You go upstairs and have a hot shower. I'll put your clothes in the dryer and make us some hot cocoa. I'll also get you something dry to change into while you wait for these wet clothes to dry," Kurt said, walking back upstairs followed by Blaine.
"Thanks, Baby," Blaine said with a smile as he started taking his wet jacket and shirt off. Kurt couldn't help looking at his boyfriend's hot chest as he looked for clothes for him to wear.
"You can wear one of my old t-shirts and some jogging pants that Puck left here the last time he stayed over. They've been washed," Kurt said, handing Blaine a blue t-shirt and a pair of faded black jogging pants. Blaine kissed Kurt's lips again.
"I won't be long," Blaine promised, walking into Kurt's bathroom and shutting the door. A few minutes later, Blaine threw his wet jeans and boxers out of the bathroom to Kurt. Kurt picked up Blaine's wet clothes and walked downstairs into the kitchen, throwing them into the dryer before turning on the kettle to make himself and Blaine some hot cocoa. Kurt placed two cups on the kitchen table as Blaine entered the kitchen with a towel around his neck wearing the shirt and jogging pants.
"That feels better. Thanks baby," Blaine said with a smile kissing Kurt's lips as they both took a seat at the table.
"No problem. I'm sorry I made you wait in the rain. I didn't know you were coming. I didn't think I'd see you 'til Friday," Kurt apologized with a small smile holding Blaine's hand under the table. Blaine squeezed Kurt's hand in his.
"I know. I begged Mom to let me come and see you. I couldn't take being in my house any more. Family that we haven't seen for years are here and they're crying and I know they don't care since they haven't been in touch since 1999," Blaine said with a sigh.
"I'm sure they do care," Kurt assured his boyfriend with an encouraging smile.
"I dunno. Jenna's a mess. She's having Darren's baby. She's living with us. Her parents kicked her out because she won't get rid of the baby but she says she can't because it's the last piece of Darren she has. So much drama..." Blaine said, taking a sip of his drink.
"I know all about baby drama," Kurt said with a sigh. Blaine looked at him a little confused.
"Quinn was pregnant last year. She said the baby was Finn's but really it was Puck's. She had a little girl, Beth and Rachel's Mom adopted her. Last year was full of drama," Kurt explained, sipping at his own drink.
"Why is being a teenager so complicated? Why can't our lives be drama free?" Blaine asked with a sigh.
"Life would be dull if we didn't have the drama. It's just the way it has to be, I guess," Kurt replied.
"You're right. I love you Kurt," Blaine said, leaning forward to kiss Kurt. As their lips locked, Blaine brushed Kurt's cheek with his hand and Kurt wrapped his arms around Blaine's neck, deepening the kiss.
"I love you so much," Kurt whispered as they pulled apart.
"I love you so much too," Blaine whispered back with a small smile.
"Promise me that no matter what happens and no matter what life throws at us, we'll get through it. I don't want to lose you," Blaine requested, trying to hold back the tears that were forming.
"I promise. You'll always have me. No matter what happens. I'm not going anywhere," Kurt vowed, kissing Blaine's cheek.
"You're perfect, Kurt," Blaine said.
"I'm far from perfect, Blaine. Trust me," Kurt replied, getting up and picking up the empty cups, taking them over to the sink to wash them. Blaine stood up and walked over to Kurt, wrapping his arms around his waist as he washed the cups resting his head on his shoulder.
"You're perfect in my eyes," Blaine said, kissing Kurt's cheek making Kurt blush.
"Thank you. And you're perfect in mine," Kurt said with a smile as the dryer started beeping.
"Your clothes are dry," Kurt pointed out, grabbing them out of the dryer turning round to see Blaine looking at his phone with a sad expression on his face.
"Blaine? What's wrong?" Kurt asked Blaine just sighed.
"Mom just texted. She wants me to come home. Cora's asking for me. I'm sorry, baby. I've gotta go," Blaine said, taking the clothes from Kurt. Kurt gave him a wistful smile.
"It's okay. I'll see you Friday," Kurt said.
"Walk with me to my car. The rain's stopped," Blaine suggested, offering Kurt his hand. Kurt didn't say anything, just took Blaine's hand in his as they walked out of the front door. Kurt slipped on his slippers before following Blaine down to his car.
"I didn't think this through. Your gonna ruin your slippers and pyjamas out here. I'm sorry."
"Blaine, I don't care about my slippers and pyjamas right now," Kurt wept.
"Hey. Don't cry baby. We won't be apart that long. It's just four days. It's not forever, I promise." Blaine wiped away Kurt's tears with his thumb.
"It might as well be forever. I don't like being apart from you. I know I sound stupid right now but I love you Blaine," Kurt said with a small smile. Blaine didn't say anything just sealed their lips together in a passionate kiss.
"It's not stupid. I feel the same way," Blaine said as they broke apart. Kurt smiled at him.
"See you on Friday," Blaine said, giving Kurt another kiss before getting into the car.
"See you Friday," Kurt said biting his lip. He walked back up towards the house as Blaine pulled away. Kurt sighed and walked inside, shutting the door behind him.
Kurt didn't go back to school 'til Thursday. The school let him have Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday off. Being at school without Blaine felt strange but Wes, David and Jeff tried their best to keep Kurt distracted through Thursday and then it finally came: Friday the day of Darren's funeral. As Kurt looked at himself in the mirror, he couldn't help but think about his mother's funeral, the black suit brought it all back and he did have a cry with his dad before leaving to go to the funeral. In the end, he didn't go in the family car with Blaine. He got his dad to drop him off at the church and he waited outside for Blaine and the rest of the Anderson family to arrive. James had his arm round Kate and another girl who Kurt guessed was Jenna. They walked into the church behind Darren's coffin. Blaine walked behind them, holding Cora's hand and Kurt took his free hand, squeezing it tight.
"Hey," Blaine whispered through his tears, giving Kurt a tiny smile as they walked into the church and took their seats. Cora sat on Blaine's knee, cuddling into her brother's chest whereas Blaine rested his head on Kurt's shoulder as the church filled with the rest of the Anderson family and Darren's friends. The service was beautiful and sweet. James did a lovely speech but Jenna tried to sing Darren's favourite song and didn't get to the chorus before breaking down.
"Hey. I've been looking for you," Blaine said when he found Kurt sitting in Blaine's backyard after the funeral.
"I need some air," Kurt said with a small smile. Blaine sat down next to him, taking Kurt into his arms.
"Thank you," Blaine whispered into Kurt's ear kissing his cheek.
"Thanks for what?" Kurt asked a little confused.
"For today. You were my rock. I don't know if I could have gotten through it without you being there for me. I love you," Blaine told him, moving a piece of hair that had fallen on Kurt's face away. Kurt gave him a small smile trying to stay strong. Blaine noticed that Kurt's eyes were glazed with tears and, as he tried to figure out why, it finally hit him.
"Oh god, Kurt I'm sorry. I know today must have been hard on you baby. It must have reminded you of your Mom's funeral. I didn't even think about how you'd feel. I'm sorry," Blaine said, cuddling Kurt. Kurt gave Blaine a kiss on the lips.
"It's not your fault, and you didn't have to worry about me today. The only thing you have to do today is mourn your brother. It just got to me a little. I'm okay. Don't worry," Kurt assured him, mustering a smile.
"I love you so much Kurt. Really I do. I know we've been through a lot since Christmas but in that time my love for you as grown stronger and I never ever want to lose you," Blaine said with a smile.
"You are so cheesy, Blaine Anderson, but I love you too. I love you more than anything and anyone. Well, not as much as my dad," Kurt conceded and Blaine chuckled.
"Yeah, you've always gotta love your family more than anyone else," Blaine agreed with a smile. Kurt kissed him again wrapping his arms around Blaine's neck, pulling him in closer.
"My very own happily ever after. You know the story of us could be a very good Disney movie," Kurt said as Blaine stood up, offering Kurt his hand. Blaine chuckled and Kurt took his hand and stood up.
"Yeah. We should write it together. I'm betting 'Klaine' would a best selling movie. Everyone would love us," Blaine said with a smile.
"After nationals, I'm gonna take you up on that Mister Anderson. We're gonna spent our summer writing 'Klaine'," Kurt decided, opening the back door to walk inside. Blaine took Kurt's hand in his.
"That sounds like a good idea to me," Blaine said as he followed Kurt. For once things seemed to be looking up for Kurt and Blaine. They'd been to hell and back since Christmas but finally things were starting to look up and they both looked to the future with hope that from now on things would be better.
