(Question: Should I change the title of this story now that I have already got the plot line figured out, or should I just keep it anyway? Let me know :)
Thank you for the couple of reviews, subscriptions, and favorites. Please continue! Reviews mean so much to me, you have no idea :P & Don't forget to leave any of your own ideas that you would like me to add :)
Chapter 2
*Disclaimer: I don't own Glee.
Spoilers for 'Blame it on the Alcohol'
Kurt was sitting in his twin sized bed, his blanket lazily covering his legs. He was rubbing his feet together under the covers hoping to conjure up some warmth within them. With no luck, he sighed to himself, too lazy to get up and get a pair of socks. Dalton was usually pretty good at keeping the temperature perfect, and it was odd to even realize the coolness that was in his room this morning. He looked around the familiar walls but for some reason he felt something was different- strange. Perhaps it was because his roommate, who generally sleeps in, was nowhere in sight. Without warning there was a couple of knocks at the door and Kurt hesitatingly opened it.
"Blaine?" Kurt squeaked.
"Yeah, hun, it's just me," Blaine said casually, while slipping off his shoes.
Kurt held in a much needed gasp. Did Blaine Anderson just call him hun? He almost melted right then and there.
"I was thinking… we should skip glee practice this afternoon and go out to lunch. Just you and me. There's this really cute café down by the shopping plaza that I've been dying to show you." Blaine was leaning up against Kurt's desk.
Kurt was not only shocked that Blaine was going to miss the Warblers practice, but more importantly he was going to miss it for him. Just before the words "Sounds like fun" escaped his lips, however, he thought about it again. This was just too easy.
"You're going to miss glee rehearsal?" he asked, and after realizing he said it much more skeptical than he intended to, added, "I mean, you even tried going that one time you had the flu."
Blaine smiled thoughtfully, "Well it's okay to miss something important as long as you have a good excuse."
"I really doubt the Warblers will accept the fact we missed practice to go have coffee and eat fancy sandwiches." Kurt said with a laugh, "taking me to a café isn't the best excuse."
Blaine inched even closer to his friend. "Believe me, Kurt, you're worth it." His big smile almost caused Kurt's hand to instinctively beam straight to his heart, but he resisted.
"Well, then," Kurt grinned, "I guess it sounds like fun." A large beep rang in his ear. That must have been a text, but he would find his phone later.
"Yeah…I'm glad you think so." Another beep.
There was an awkward moment as the two friends just stared at each other longingly.
"You know that sweater really looks good on you," Blaine broke the silence. Kurt had to look down to remember which one he was wearing, but for some odd reason he couldn't recall when he changed out of his pajamas.
"Thanks," Kurt said with a smile. (Beep.) "You don't look half bad yourself."
Blaine chuckled to himself, "I don't know if you'd call it unique but whatever works, right?" He was wearing his uniform. "Anyways- about tonight…I think we should consider it our, you know, first date?"
Kurt nearly fainted, "Are you (Beep!) sure?"
"If my word doesn't prove it to you, than this should," and without any warning Blaine was leaning in and gently placed a kiss on Kurt's thin lips. BEEP. BEEP. BEEP.
Kurt was still blushing when he woke up. He kept his eyes closed to keep the feeling of the dream safe from fading away.
Eventually he turned off his alarm clock and looked around the room. His roommate was still snoring, and probably wouldn't get up for a while longer. He generally gave himself only fifteen minutes before school started to get ready. Kurt gave himself roughly two hours.
The feeling of the dream began to sink to a lonely place in his heart. He knew Blaine was still mad about the whole Rachel/bi thing. It wasn't Kurt's fault, right? It was true Blaine had been gay after all. Kurt was right…but this feeling of victory didn't help the flipping of his stomach.
What if Blaine had turned out to be bi? What if he really was in a confusing time in his life and Kurt just kicked him while he was already down? This doesn't really help me in the whole 'Get with Blaine' plan, Kurt sulked. He closed his eyes once more to recreate the moment Blaine leaned in to kiss him. If only this was reality…
As Kurt sat in his bed imagining the romantic exchange between himself and his friend over and over again he realized just how pathetic the whole thing was. Here he was, alone, planting ideas in his own head. Blaine already told him that they were going to remain just friends…but why couldn't Kurt simply want the same things…
Blaine wanted to meet Kurt half way. Kurt wanted to walk the total distance and drag Blaine's ass to the other side. Oh sweet Gaga, Kurt thought to himself. I really am pathetic. Here he was taking time out of his morning routine to think about a guy. A guy who most likely didn't take time out of his own schedule to discuss his own feelings to himself!
"I must be crazy," Kurt mumbled out loud. With a final sigh to the subject he got up to get ready. Yeah, crazy in love.
An hour later Blaine woke up and started to get ready. He felt confident in the person he was and felt ready to begin this new day with a fresh start. Rachel proved to him that he was, after all, who he thought he had been and this made him feel rather good about himself. Sorted out, and organized about his feelings. He knew now, for sure, that he liked guys, and this was okay with him. It was just which guy that was the problem.
Kurt was Blaine's best friend. However, the fact that Kurt jumped on his back about experimenting with his sexuality made him regret any feelings he once had for the boy. Why would Kurt, of all people, judge him for who he was? Kurt knew what it was like to be hurt and confused. Why would his friend not want him to straighten out his feelings? Kurt wouldn't have acted the way he did simply because he was jealous, right? That would be just plain silly, especially because of how supportive he was about the whole Jeremiah debacle. Maybe Kurt was just…bi-ist? Was that even a term? Blaine shook his head. The whole thing just shook his brain into a puzzled state. I guess he and Kurt just needed to take some time to get this sorted out. Maybe having their first fight would strengthen their relationship…who knows?
Blaine applied more jell to his hair and hoped that it would all turn out okay in the end. He would like his old friend back.
Okay, so it's just a start. I wanted to begin by reflecting on the latest episode. Next Klaine chappie will be more my own thoughts and junk :) Any who, I hope you liked it! Please review with any comments, criticism, or suggestions!
Also, I would love it if you checked out my other Glee fics: Lies in a Lullaby & (my silly one-shot) Brittany Gets a Fish :D
