A/N: Hi! (: so I read your comments and thank you, they all really helped!
Here is Chap. 3 I hope you like it! :$
Chapter 3:
Kurt leans his head down, resting both of their foreheads together, allowing himself to get lost in the moment. And at the touch, he lets out another sigh.
They stay that way, almost not moving at all, afraid that if they do, the other will disappear. The tears left their tracks in both of their cheeks, but neither is crying anymore (they are both too caught up in what's happening to do so), and their breathing is somewhat calmer than it was a few minutes ago. The air around them is quite cold, but neither notice. They don't care. As they stand there, a smile finds its way to Kurt's lips, as he is invaded with the scent of the other man. In the same way, Blaine smiles to himself at the happy twist his stomach does at the touch. But his smile is quickly replaced with a frown because, no matter how much he wants to right now, he is not sure if Kurt will want to kiss him. He's so close! If only I lean- He stops himself. No. He can't do this. Kurt is not his anymore for him to do that. He's with Sebastian he reminds himself and his stomach does a twist again, only this time it's not of happiness. Instead, he raises his arms and hooks them around the taller man's neck, bringing him closer for a hug. Because a hug is allowed, right?
Kurt is taken aback for a little moment, but soon enough, his hands leave their place at Blaine's cheeks and his long arms embrace Blaine at the waist. Both of their arms tighten around each other, and their strength holds for a few minutes, until they both let go at the same time. It's weird, isn't it? How, when you hug someone, both of you know exactly when to let go; as if both of you had the same thought.
They don't really end their embrace at first, though. They just separate a little; Blaine's arms still around Kurt's neck and Kurt's still around his waist. They look into each other's eyes again.
A few seconds later, still in the same position, Kurt speaks "What-". His voice breaks a little and Blaine smiles as it does so. Both let go and hold each other at arm's length. Kurt clears his throat, and tries talking again. His brain is racing with the too many questions to ask and he can't quite settle on which one to ask first, so he just shakes his head a little and rumbles, "What happened to you? You- you were there, a-and- and the letters, and then- then one day you weren't there and-".
"Let's go somewhere else, ok?" Blaine cuts him off "let's go to a café." He looks around, remembering where he is. "The Lima Bean is quite far from here, and I don't think that it's open twenty-four hours, so…" He trails off, not finishing his sentence, curling his lip a little as he brings up the Lima Bean.
"We'll find someplace else, c'mon" Kurt says. And they start walking away from the park, settling on a somewhat comfortable silence, Kurt's mind still racing with questions, trying to come to terms of what just happened and that Blaine is here.
Blaine's mind is quieter than it was before. Still going through everything all at once, yes, but… quieter, not making him panic, for once.
As they reach the street, a cab turns the corner towards them and Kurt stretches his hand, calling it.
They both get in and Kurt gives a "the closest café open all twenty-four around here" as a direction. They don't speak the whole way, but the music from the radio keeps it from being uncomfortable.
As they reach their destination, Blaine gets off the cab first (taking his bag with him), as Kurt pays the driver and joins Blaine on the sidewalk. Across the street there is this taken-from-the-movies café with two neon signs. One says: "24h open", the other: "Betty's". As they look at it, a thunder sounds and not two seconds after, heavy drops start falling. Both men run to the café, and Blaine gets there first, only to hold open the door for Kurt. Kurt smiles at him and goes in, followed by Blaine.
If from the outside it didn't look like one, then the inside will convince you that the coffee shop seemed as if it was taken directly from an 80s movie. The floor was completely covered with white and black tiles, the walls were light-blue or pink, with various paintings (of actors and singers, mainly) on them, along with vinyl records. To the left, rectangular metal tables were put with couched benches opposite to each other. On the right, there was an island bar with tall chairs that matched the benches.
When they step inside, soft music that accompanied the theme of the coffee shop was playing. They walked over to one on the tables and sat in front of each other. Almost immediately, a blonde girl with green eyes approached them and gave them a menu, then left.
Kurt thinks in starting the questions immediately after the waitress leaves, but he decided against it, since he knows she will interrupt in a couple of minutes to take their orders. So, he grabs the menu (as does Blaine) and looks through it, not really paying full attention, deciding what to ask for.
The blonde comes back, now with a little yellow pencil in her right hand and a notebook on the left.
"What can I get you two?" She asks
"I'll have a medium drip, please" Blaine says and looks at Kurt when they both smile.
After a few seconds of silence and looking at Blaine with a smile on his face, Kurt turns and looks at the girl, "And for me a Non-Fat Mocha". Kurt turns his head again and looks again at Blaine, both smiling, as the girl walks away with a nod to the boys.
"Like the first time?" Kurt asks first. He's referring to their coffee orders, but of course, he doesn't need to clarify.
"Like the first time." Blaine confirms, and they both smile at the memories.
Kurt lets out a little chuckle and says, "I will never understand how you were so oblivious! You know, the Warblers used to have a bet between them on how long it would take you to figure it out…"
"Who won?" Blaine asks, laughing himself.
"I think Nick won the bet" Kurt says with a smile, but then he adds slowly, "But in the end, I think it was us the real winners".
The smiles fade from both of their faces. Winners? Blaine thinks. How can you call them winners? Look at us now! Did they really win? Can this be called winning? Blaine frowns a little, almost unnoticeably.
"Yeah…" Blaine whispers and the blonde girl comes back again with both of their coffees.
After she puts the cup in front of the two boys, she says, "My name's Cindy, if you need anything, call me" and then she goes again behind the bar and starts filling a cross-word puzzle.
Both of them take a sip of their coffee and smile at the taste. It just takes them back to all those years ago. "You know my coffee order?" "Of course I do". Blaine is looking down at his cup, and Kurt is the first to break the silence. When Blaine looks up at him, he's surprised to see that he isn't smiling anymore, but has a rather sad expression on his face.
"What happened to you?" he asks again, voice low. And this causes Blaine's smile to slowly fade away, and he copies Kurt's hurtful expression as he starts talking again.
A/N: So that's chapter 3!
Ehm Ok. So basically I'll try and update every Sunday, though I'm not reliable :)
