One week Later- early Saturday afternoon
KH
New Directions and the Warblers planned an end of summer get together. They decided on the last day of the fair. There was a big fireworks show on the last night. Kurt's Excited as he talks to Dave.
Dave, Grinning " I didn't think you would be so happy about going to the fair fancy."
Kurt,in a haughty voice " Well I know it's a bit ruff, for my refined taste." laughing, " Hey you caught me, I like cotton candy. I also like the lights and sounds." Softer, " They remind me of my mom, she loved the fair."
Dave smiles, " Yeah, I get that. I'm sorry to miss it this year. Me and Az always see how much we can eat, then get on the scrambler." Laughing at Kurt's appalled face, " It's everything your thinking, not pretty. First one to spew has to pay the rest of the night."
Kurt smiles, " That is disgusting. I am going to keep an eye on him tonight. Az needs to know that wont help him in his quest to woo Mercedes ."
Dave, " I figured that's what he's been up to. He's been kind of quiet about it. She must really be playing hard to get." I'm Glad for my friend, one of us should get the person they want.
Kurt, " They are cute together, just both are too proud for their own good."
Dave, " What time are you guys going?"
Kurt looks at the time, " I've got awhile. Were all going to meet up a couple of hours before the Fireworks." Bashful, "Hey since I wont get to talk to you before I go to bed, can I get my bedtime song now?"
Dave, " I don't know why you insist on making your ears bleed."
Kurt, " Whatever, you have a great voice. If you ever get your behind home, I will force you into Glee Club. If I tell Az that I'll put a good word in for him with Mercedes. He'll help me with anything I want. "
Dave, " Okay, I consider my self warned. How are your step mom and Dad doing?"
Kurt, smiles " They are doing a lot better. Not one argument this week. They even took off for a weekend away. They're coming back late Sunday."
Dave, " That's great."
Kurt, " Okay quit stalling, I want my song."
Dave, "You sure are demanding." Laughing he picks up his guitar.
I've seen you hanging round, This darkness where I'm bound
And this Black Hole I've dug for me
And silently within, with hands touching skin
The shock breaks my disease, and I can breathe
Standing outside Kurt's slightly ajar door, Blaine feels the tears run down his face. He hadn't meant to ease drop. He just wanted to surprise Kurt. To do something romantic, and try to win his love again. His hopes for tonight dashed as he listens to their flirting banter. Not so much the words that are said, but how they said them. He knows that breathy quality, and soft chuckle of Kurt's. The way his voice gets a little deeper. He knows, because once it was all for him, and he had been too blind to see.
And all of your weight, all you dream
Falls on me, it falls on me
And your beautiful sky, the light you bring
Falls on me, It falls on me
Sliding down to the floor, he buries his head in his hands. Kurt didn't even tell me about his parents having trouble. Dammit I was his best friend before I was his boyfriend. He could have confided in me. And Karofsky's been singing to him everynight. I feel like a fool. It's been him all along. That was when Kurt started acting weird, when we saw that poster at the coffee shop.
Your faith like the pain, Draws me in again
He washes all my wounds for me, The Darkness in my veins
I never could explain, And I wonder if you ever see
Will you still believe?
And all of your weight, all you dream
Falls on me, It Falls on me
And your beautiful sky, The light you bring
Falls on me, it Falls on me
Standing back up, he peeks into the room. Kurt is turned slightly facing the door, so he can see his face. He looked at me like that once.I knew this was coming, but damn I feel like my insides are going to fall out.
Am I that strong, To carry on?
I might change your life, I might save my world
Could you save me?
Suddenly angry Blaine pushes open the door, the song finishes.
Kurt, looks up surprised, " Dave, I'll talk to you later, someones here."
Dave, " Okay, have a good time, tell Az I said hey."
Blaine, trying to keep the anger out of his voice and failing, " Someone, didn't want to tell him it was me?"
Kurt, stands brushing back his bangs,avoiding the question. " What are you doing here?"
Blaine, " I thought I would surprise my boyfriend, take him out for an early dinner. I know how much you love fried fair food."
Kurt, turning around to gather his stuff," Just give me thirty minutes, and I'll be ready."
Blaine, sighing" Don't bother."
Kurt, " What?"
Blaine, starting to raise his voice" I can't do this, don't bother getting ready. I'm not going to go with you tonight."
Kurt, still facing away, softly " Why?"
Blaine, " You really have to ask, Kurt? I just found you being serenaded by Karofsky."
Kurt's voice rising as he turns around, " He was not serenading me, were Just friends."
Blaine, " Didn't sound like it to me."
Kurt, " If you think I'm cheating on you then you don't know me at all."
Blaine, " I don't know what I think anymore, and I don't know you anymore. You don't talk to me. You didn't even tell me your parents have been fighting. What am I supposed to think, Kurt?"
Kurt, walking towards him " I'm so sorry Blaine... It's not what you think.
Blaine , almost a whisper " Are you sure about that, denying how you feel doesn't make those feelings go away."
Kurt pleading, " Please, let's just forget about this. We can still have a good time tonight. "
Blaine, " I can't. Kurt he's in love with you. He's kissed you, your first kiss. He is not just your friend." And your in love with him.
Kurt crying softly, " What can I say to make this alright?" I cant lose you.
Blaine, " I know I want you Kurt. You just have to decide if you still want me." He closes the distance between them, grabbing Kurt he kisses him. It feels like goodbye.
Blaine, " I have to go."
Kurt sits back down, tears streaming down his face. Looking around his room, he decides to find out for sure what he wants. He leaves Finn a note telling him he'll be out late, real late. Not to tell dad. Grabbing his keys he runs out the door.
The Fireworks
Blaine had planned on not going, but Wes and David had other plans. They didn't know what was going on but they wouldn't let him mope. About the time they were walking through the fair ground gate, sun setting, Kurt was passing the welcome to Indiana sign. The sounds of the rides with screaming passengers, the smells of sugar, buttered corn cobs and roasting meat drifting over the trio of friends. Finally they meet the rest of the gang, Blaine searches the faces even though he knows he's not there. Some give him questioning looks, but none ask, not even Mercedes. Maybe our problems have been more noticeable than I thought. Sighing he follows the laughing group of friends from one attraction to the next. Before he knows it the time had flown and they are all sitting in the grass, waiting for the show to start.
Kurt's stomach rolling in nervous waves as his GPS guides him through turn after turn. Maybe I should turn around. I'm gonna ruin everything. I'll lose both of my friends. Then he hears it. Destination reached. There's a light on above the garage. Oh GAGA,I cant believe I'm doing this. Taking a deep breath, he steps out of his car and takes the stairs on the side of the garage. Then he's knocking. Oh, hell I don't even know what to say, here he comes.
The door opens, and Kurt's breath catches. There is Dave standing shirtless, hair wet, towel around his neck. The jeans he's wearing fit snugly, top button undone. It's obvious that he just got out of the shower. " Fancy?"
Kurt's throat is dry as he raises his eyes to meet Dave's, " Dave." Stepping forward, he reaches up, grabs the towel and pulls Dave's mouth down to his.
About the time Blaine is sitting watching the night light up with Fireworks, Kurt is feeling them.
The shows over, Everybody leaving at once. Blaine lost in the crowd feels a hand on his shoulder. Turning thinking it will be Wes, " Jeremiah?"
