Yes, my exams are finally over and a new update of SIASL!
I've composed an outline with several events and dates, so you will have your regular updates every Friday night/Saturday morning as usual.
Anyway, go check out the chapter! Edited by my lovely CrazySue05!
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, Glee or any of its characters.
Till now:
After the War, Harry came out to Ron and Hermione. Ron was a sport, but Hermione called him a bad name, so he used Arthur's help and took a portkey to Lima, Ohio. He's been trying to write there and just drinking hot chocolate instead.
Kurt never transferred to Dalton in his Junior Year, so when he meets Harry at Coffee-holics, he likes him instantly. They are best buds, but are figuring out their feelings for each other.

The next day was Sunday, so Kurt figured that he could stay up for a little while. He just walked aimlessly around his room, not knowing what to do. He wasn't in the mood to go on Facebook and chat horrible small talk with people he barely spoke to in person. The night wasn't a fashion-ogling one either. He stopped in front of his bookcase and looked at the books, thinking of re-reading something. He let his finger linger along the spines as he went through Isaac Asimov, John Grisham, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and then rest on Robin Cook. He knew that most people thought he was a gay guy with a stereotypical penchant for fashion and musicals and not much else, but he loved reading books in totally different genres possible.
As he picked out "Fatal Cure", he wondered what he would have done if this had happened to his Mom. As he read the book, he got a text from Mercedes, "He broke up with me. Need immediate sleep-over." He went down the staircase and asked his Dad, "Hey, boy problems. Can Mercedes come over?" Burt looked shocked as he sputtered out, "You and that boy start dating already?" Kurt blushed, as he thought of the idea of them together and said, "No, no, no! Mercedes started dating one of the decent guys in our school, or at least I thought he was. However they broke up today and she will definitely need some therapy. Mostly a mani-pedi and some talk about what a jerk he was." Burt just yawned, happy that he didn't have to deal with his boy getting heart-broken and said, "I'll be off to sleep soon. Let her know we have a tire-iron in the garage if she wants me to use it." Kurt was mortified, "Dad! …but yeah, thanks!"
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
He got his mani-pedi set out and put on some soft music. This was his usual reading soundtrack, and he knew that sad Mercedes wouldn't appreciate the subtle nuances of Broadway emotion. He heard the bell ring and shouted out to his Dad, "I'll get the door!" At the affirmative grunt, he unlocked the door and immediately spread his hands, asking for a hug. Mercedes just leaned into him, trying to cuddle him and soak up the love, seeing how she was heart-broken. He told her to go upstairs, and change into her nightclothes, stored for an emergency sleepover. He went into the kitchen and got out the hot chocolate, putting extra marshmallows into her mug. He put it on a tray and went out of the kitchen, just as Finn paused his game. He looked at the mugs, sniffed the air, and whined, "No hot chocolate for me?" Kurt spoke, "Mercedes is upset and I'm going to cheer her up. If you want hot chocolate so much, take your chips and dip them in Nutella. You'll get the chocolate part, at least." As he walked up the stairs, he heard Finn exclaim, "That flavor would be so awesome!"
Kurt walked into his room and closed the door behind him. He gave Mercedes' mug to her and sat down on the bed, as he said, "Tell me all about it, from the start." Mercedes sniffed a bit, and blew into her handkerchief. Her eyes were red, and it was evident that she had been crying for a while.
She started speaking, "Well, you know how we met. And I told you about the time that he kissed me and had onion breath and what not. I still sucked it up, cuz damn it, he was cute. But then he started getting really pissed off most of the time. He needs a football scholarship since his grades are good, but not that good. Then he started blowing off steam by playing more and more football. Today he told me that I was messing with his concentration and he couldn't afford to have any distractions. I mean, I can understand how hard it is to want to get out of a town like ours, but he literally dumped me, saying I was a distraction. All those dates, meant nothing to him?" She started weeping again, as Kurt carefully pried the half-filled mug from out of her hands. He hugged her and told her, "Don't worry. He's one of the meat-headed guys who doesn't know how gorgeous you are. He wasn't worthy of you." Mercedes took a tissue from the box he had readily kept on the side and asked, "Can we watch some movie? Preferably with some hot man-candy?"
Kurt knew his girl very well, so he fanned out a pair of DVDs, and Mercedes picked out the Queer as Folk S1 boxset DVD. Kurt gave her a mock-shocked look, to which Mercedes giggled, "Don't you need to have fun as well?" He locked the door just to make sure his Dad wouldn't peep in to comfort and end up watching something no parent should ever watch. As Michael finished his monologue and Brian came onto the scene, Mercedes casually asked Kurt, "So how have you been? Uncle Burt was talking about some guy yesterday but I was slightly pre-occupied. Who's this new guy? Cousin? Family friend? Boyfriend? If you tell me it's a boyfriend, I will cut you for not telling me earlier!"
Kurt shushed her and said. "It's not a boyfriend. It definitely isn't. Do you need me to make some more popcorn?" He got up from the bed, only to be pulled back down by his shirt and Mercedes said, "If you don't spill it right now, I'll go tell Uncle Burt you made me cry. You know how he is about girl tears." Kurt thought quickly and said, "Okay, okay! Let's pause the show though, the next part is the best." Mercedes agreed, "Yeah, where he's so confident that he just removes it all in front of Brian? So sexy…Kurt, you're changing the subject!"
He started, "Okay, so around Christmas time, you had your family traditions and church, and we were starting new traditions cuz you know, we just became the Hudmels. However, I couldn't handle the fact that Carole was literally, well sorta, replacing my Mom, and so I went to Coffee-Holics." Mercedes just groaned at the name of the coffee shop he had been frequenting for quite a while now, but then she had an epiphany. She shrieked, "OMG, you met this guy at the shop right?" Burt came up the stairs, asking, "Do I need to beat anyone up?" Mercedes shouted back, "No, but thanks Uncle Burt!"
Kurt shushed her to get her inside voice and then said, "Yeah, I met him there."
"His name is Harry."
"Naaaice."
"He's 19…"
"Ooooh, older!"
"And he might be a little British?"
Mercedes looked at him surprised, and said, "When you say little British, do you mean he does a good British impression like Sam, or is he British?" Kurt just groaned, knowing there was no escape. He confessed, "He lived in the whole Scotland-London area till about two months back." Mercedes squealed, "YES! This is so awesome! I always told you that you were destined for more than some sweaty jock in Lima, but this is just great. You guys can go on dates together, but I'll threaten him. It's my job as your best friend." Kurt said, "Youcantthreatenhimcuzwearentdating." At her confused look, he repeated, "You can't threaten him cuz we aren't dating. We're just friends."
Mercedes scoffed, "I know you have to tell that to your Dad seeing how he protects you more than someone hiding Rapunzel in a tower. But you can't even tell me the truth?" She acted as if she was wiping a tear away. Kurt said, "He's not, okay? We're really good friends, and we clicked fast exactly like you and me. I know you didn't want me to bring up the incident, but yes, I have a crush on him like you had on me. And even though we are of the same sexuality this time around, it's gonna end the same way, best friends forever." He then heaved a deep sigh as if he had just finished running a marathon.
Mercedes tried to act nonchalant, but you could see the hurt in her eyes. "So best friends is bad?" Kurt groaned, "Ugh! I can never seem to do the right thing today." He literally climbed into Mercedes' lap as he hugged her and she held on as he solemnly swore, "I love you. If I were straight, we would have started dating the moment I saw you and till death. However, that is not the case." Mercedes smiled, the sadness in her eyes going away, "You couldn't handle all this anyway."
As they both started laughing loudly, throwing popcorn at one another and having a good time, another person in the same town looked at his mobile phone, pondering whether or not to call the guy who was on his mind the whole evening.
