Chapter Eleven: The One In Which Kurt Gets A Shock
xi: Let me know that I've done wrong, when I've known this all along. I go around a time or two, just to waste my time with you.
It's been a normal day for him by all means. He went to college, had lunch with friends, handed out some flyers advertising him for class rep, and then returned home. Originally, he intended on asking Rachel to watch a couple of musicals with him. He's feeling a little down, and their movie nights never fail to cheer him up, but then he realised she's at rehearsals. He's not afraid to say that he misses her presence around the place, especially when the others are being crabby and selfish. She listens and advises, plus they have a lot in common to gab over.
However, with Rachel out, he goes to the next best thing (in terms of convincing to watch musicals) which is Quinn. As he enters their apartment, Kurt revises in his head how he's going to blackmail her. God knows Quinn never backs down easily, and to his knowledge she doesn't like the musical 'West Side Story'. Something about it being overdone. That aside, it's the one Kurt wants to watch the most, and he's not watching it alone.
In all honesty, he should be flying high. Classes are going great. He looks to be the winner of the class rep race. The only thing that's missing – that seems to be always missing – is someone he can come home to, or call up, or just melt into at the end of his long days. Someone who will share all of this just as enthusiastically and support him in every step. Even more than this, this longing for a boyfriend, Kurt is angry and morose because he knows exactly who he wants.
Just as his thoughts enter this premise, he pushes them away angrily. He had promised himself to stop thinking about straight men in that context.
Kurt knocks on Quinn's door lightly, but doesn't bother with waiting for a reply and just walks right in. It's at that moment that he wishes with all his might that he had have waited, that he hadn't been too preoccupied to hear the noises, and that he could have just watched a movie alone for once and stopped being so needy.
He finally gets out the only words he can, "You're—you're with someone else!"
Hey folks! I know, I know.. it's short. The reason? Well, I intended for this whopper cliff hanger to be inserted to the end of the last chapter, but forgot. I couldn't resist the cliff so I put it here instead. Fear not, however, as I promise to upload the next chapter tomorrow. All shall be revealed, my friends! Thank you for all the reviews so far, they mean a lot :) So, who has Kurt caught in the act?
Disclaimer: I do not own Friends, Glee, nor "Dirty Little Secret" by the All-American Rejects.
Thanks for reading, and I promise an update will arrive tomorrow.
