Chapter 8

On Monday morning when Kurt woke up, Adam was still asleep beside him. Kurt rolled onto his side so he was facing Adam, and watched him sleep. He admired the sweet serenity of Adam's face as he slept, and his thick tousled blond hair. He couldn't help but smile as he thought about the perfect day Adam had surprised him with yesterday.

When the alarm went off a short while later, Adam began to stir. He turned his head to look at Kurt, and smiled at him. "Good morning, love," Adam said.

"Good morning, honey," Kurt said.

"How did you sleep?" Adam asked.

"Very peacefully next to you," Kurt replied. "Thanks again for yesterday. It was fantastic, and exactly what I needed. Just perfect."

"You are very welcome, love," Adam replied.

They kissed.

"I suppose we have to get ready to go to class now," Adam said.

"Yes," Kurt said. "I'll have to go back to your dad's apartment at some point to change before court."

"I'm sure we can find something for you to wear in my closet, love," Adam said.

"OK," Kurt said.

They picked out something for Kurt to wear.

Adam said, "Why don't you hop in the shower while I make breakfast?"

"OK," Kurt replied. "Thanks, sweetie." He kissed Adam.

After Kurt took his shower, he walked into the kitchen, where Adam was making pancakes and bacon for breakfast. He already had a cup of tea and juice poured for Kurt.

"Breakfast smells great, sweetie," Kurt said. He kissed Adam.

"It's just about ready, love," Adam replied.

They ate breakfast, and cleaned up the dishes.

"I'm going to take a quick shower," Adam said.

"Can I use your phone, hon?" Kurt asked. "I want to call Rachel and ask her to bring my phone and bag to school for me."

"Sure, love," Adam replied, as he handed Kurt his phone. "I'll see you in a few minutes. I love you."

"I love you, too," Kurt replied.

They kissed, and Adam walked out of the room.

Kurt dialed Rachel's cell phone number. He heard Rachel say, "Hi, Kurt." Kurt said, "Hey, Rachel. I was wondering if you would mind bringing my cell phone and bag to school for me?"

Rachel said, "Sure, Kurt. How was your date with Adam yesterday?"

"Incredible," Kurt said. "He is amazing, Rachel. He really planned an amazing day. He's just so supportive and encouraging. I've really fallen for him."

"I really like him, Kurt," Rachel said. "He is just so nice and funny."

"He is really amazing, Rachel," Kurt said. "I'm in love with him."

"I'm happy for you, Kurt," Rachel said. "You always seemed to be in Blaine's shadow after you met him. After everything that happened with Blaine, it's good to see you happy again."

"I am, Rachel," Kurt said. "The past 12 days have been a whirlwind, you know, seeing Blaine on Valentine's Day, and now 12 days later, I'm with Adam. Most guys would have run after the crap Blaine has been doing, but Adam is just so strong and supportive."

"I better go, Kurt," Rachel said. "I have to finish getting ready for school. I'll see meet you at the student center at 8:00."

"OK," Kurt said. "Thanks, Rachel." He hung up the phone, and walked into Adam's bedroom to finish getting ready for school.

While Kurt was fixing his hair, Adam walked into the room with a towel wrapped around his waist. Kurt couldn't help but notice how fit Adam was, with a sculpted chest and abs, as he looked at him in the mirror. Adam smiled at Kurt in the mirror, and Kurt smiled back.

"I like seeing you dressed up in my clothes," Adam said, as he walked towards Kurt. He straightened Kurt's tie and said, "You look so handsome. This shade of blue really suits you, love." He kissed Kurt.

"Thank you," Kurt said. "I'll get ready in the living room and give you some privacy."

Adam said, "You can finish getting ready in here, Kurt." He pulled a pair of boxer briefs out of his dresser and slid them on, and then pulled on a pair of pants. He tossed the towel on his bed. He grabbed a brush off the dresser and started to brush his hair.

Kurt picked up the hair gel, and said, "Let me fix your hair." He put some hair gel in his hand and ran his fingers through Adams thick hair, giving it the sexy tousled look that Adam normally wore. He said, "You are so beautiful, Adam."

"Thank you, love," Adam said. He kissed Kurt, and said, "I wish we didn't have to go to school and court today. I want another perfect lazy day alone with you."

"I do too," Kurt replied. "But I do have to leave soon. I'm meeting Rachel in the student center at 8:00."

"Just let me throw on a shirt, tie, and shoes, and we can head out, love," Adam said.

When they were ready, Kurt and Adam walked to school hand in hand and found Rachel in the student center.

Kurt said, "Hi, Rachel. Thanks for bringing my stuff." He kissed Rachel.

"No problem, Kurt," Rachel replied.

Adam said, "Good morning, Rachel." He kissed Rachel's cheek.

"Hi Adam," Rachel replied.

"Was Blaine calling all day yesterday?" Kurt asked.

"Blaine was dialing your phone, and my phone until 2:00 a.m." Rachel replied. "He hasn't started this morning yet, though."

"I'm sorry you are involved in this, Rachel," Kurt said.

"It's not your fault. After we go to court today, I'm going to block his number," Rachel replied.

"That's a good idea," Adam said.

"I gotta head to class. We'll meet you back at Liam's apartment at 1:00 to head to court, Rachel," Kurt said.

Adam walked Kurt to his first class and said, "I'll meet you in the student center after my second class. I'll buy you lunch before we head back to my dad's apartment."

"I'll see you in a few hours," Kurt replied. "I love you."

Adam said, "I love you too."

They kissed.

That afternoon, Kurt met Adam at the student center. Adam smiled when he saw Kurt, and said, "Hello, love. How was class?"

"Fine," Kurt replied. "I have more voicemails and texts from Blaine."

"Did you read them?" Adam asked.

"No," Kurt replied. "I really don't care what he has to say." He felt his phone vibrating again. "And here's another." He looked at the caller ID and said, "It's not Blaine. It's actually his brother calling. Should I answer it?"

"Do you think he's calling to give you a hard time about ignoring Blaine?" Adam asked.

"I don't know," Kurt replied. "They had a strained relationship until a year ago, so they aren't that close."

"Maybe you should see what he has to say," Adam said.

Kurt answered the phone, "Hello." He heard Blaine's brother Cooper Anderson say, "Hello, Kurt. It's Cooper Anderson. I need to talk to you."

"What is it, Coop?" Kurt asked.

"Have you seen my brother?" Cooper asked. "He hasn't been home in a week, and he's not answering his calls. Finn said that Blaine had been trying to reach you and Rachel, so I thought I'd give you a call. My parents are worried sick about him."

"He's been stalking and harassing me, Cooper," Kurt replied. "He has been spying on me, and bombarding me with texts and voicemails. He also been harassing Rachel and Santana. I'm actually going to court to get a restraining order against him this afternoon."

"Please don't do that, Kurt," Cooper said. "He hasn't taken his meds since he left Lima last week, and he hasn't been taken them regularly since you left for New York. He doesn't know what he's doing."

"His meds?" Kurt asked. "For what?"

Cooper said, "Kurt, Blaine has a personality disorder. He's been in treatment for it for a few years now. He never told you?"

"No," Kurt said. "He never mentioned it. It explains a lot about him though."

Cooper said, "It was pretty under control with the meds he was taking, but based on the number of pills my dad found in his room, we don't think he's been taking them regularly for at least six months."

"Wow," Kurt said. "I'm just shocked about this. How did I not know this?" His eyes welled up with tears.

Adam put a supportive arm around Kurt, and looked at him with concern.

Cooper said, "Do you have any idea where he could be?"

"My guess is he's probably somewhere near my apartment in Bushwick," Kurt replied.

"I'm going to get on a plane to New York," Cooper said. "Can I stop by you place tonight?"

"Sure," Kurt replied. "Call me when you get into town."

"I will," Cooper replied. "Please don't go to court, Kurt."

"I have to get the restraining order, Cooper," Kurt said. "Blaine's behavior has forced Rachel, Santana, and I to leave our apartment. We have already filed two reports with the police. We need to do this for our protection."

"OK," Cooper said. "If you see Blaine, will you at least try to keep him in your sight until I can get there."

"No," Kurt said. "Once I have the restraining order, if Blaine comes near me, we're calling the cops."

"Fine," Cooper snapped. "I'll be there in a few hours."

Kurt said, "Bye, Coop." He hung up the phone, and wrapped his arms around Adam as the tears came out full force.

"What is it, love?" Adam asked, as he guided Kurt to a bench in a little used corridor in the student center.

Kurt filled in Adam on his conversation with Cooper.

Adam said, "Wow. I can't believe you never knew that Blaine has a mental illness. Listen, love, let's go back to my dad's place, and meet Rachel and Santana. I agree that you still need to get the restraining order, but I do think we need to discuss how to proceed here with this new information."

"OK," Kurt replied.

They went back to Adam's fathers apartment to meet Rachel and Santana.
