AN: Well, it's not perfect but I hope you all enjoy anyways.
Chapter 55
Seven came very early for Kurt the next morning. He quickly shut off his alarm and rolled out of bed quietly. Blaine groaned and rolled over, curling into the warm spot left by Kurt's body.
Kurt grinned and went into the bathroom to get ready for the day. A quick shower later, he exited. Blaine blearily opened an eye. "Why up so early?" He slurred.
Kurt crossed over and gave Blaine a quick kiss on his forehead. "Going to the garage remember? You want to pick me up at noon?"
Blaine yawned. "Yeah. See you babe." With those words, he fell back to sleep. Kurt shook his head and laughed quietly before going downstairs.
Deciding to skip breakfast, Kurt made some coffee for him and his dad before heading to the garage with him. He was quickly put to work changing tires and the time flew by.
Meanwhile, Blaine woke up and got ready for the day. He went to the Lima Bean and bought a coffee and a muffin to eat while he began typing up his essay for English. As he sat there, Sebastian walked in and spotted him.
"Well, hello there. To what do I owe the treat of seeing you alone for once?" Sebastian said, smoothly sliding into the seat across from Blaine. Kurt's usual seat.
Plastering a smile on his face, Blaine looked at Sebastian. "Hello. How are you?"
Not sensing that Blaine was only asking to be polite, Sebastian began speaking about how his holidays here in Ohio had been rather "drab compared to past years in Paris" and that he hoped to take a trip to New York for the New Year. "You should come with. It's going to be amazing, of course."
Blaine smiled and nodded as Sebastian spoke, answering in the silence. "Well, I'm spending the holidays with Kurt. So I'll have to pass."
Sebastian's face dropped a bit and he sneered. "How…nice. Don't you ever get tired of him though? He's not here now. We could go back to my place and-"
Blaine cut in, not wanting to hear what Sebastian might have to say. "No. I'm quite happy with Kurt. In fact, I think I'm going to go see him now. Have a good New Year's."
Standing abruptly, Blaine packed up his stuff and left. Sebastian watched him leave, thinking that Blaine had gotten flustered because he had been tempted by his offer. Blaine shuddered a bit as he left the coffee shop, feeling a bit slimy just from being around Sebastian.
Checking the time, he decided he might as well go to get Kurt since it was pretty close to noon. He drove over to the auto shop and went inside, exchanging a quick hello with Burt before going to the office and watching Kurt in his coveralls changing tires.
Kurt felt someone watching him and stood up straight, looking over to where his boyfriend now sat leering. Blushing a bit, Kurt went back to finishing up the work on the car. Blaine laughed a bit at the blush and decided to grab a magazine while he waited for Kurt so that his dad wouldn't catch him staring.
He got so caught up reading one of the articles that he didn't notice Kurt had finished until he was pulling the magazine out of his hand and sitting in his lap. "Well, hello there beautiful." Blaine said as he wrapped his arms around Kurt.
"Hey. You have a good morning?" Kurt asked, giving Blaine a quick kiss.
Crinkling his nose, Blaine answered. "Well, I ran into Sebastian earlier but other than that it was okay. How about you? Anything interesting?"
Kurt stiffened a bit at the mention of Sebastian but decided to move on as he didn't want talk of him to ruin the day. "Nope. Just a bunch of tires." He was going to say more but was cut off when his stomach growled.
"Hungry babe?" Blaine asked, laughing a bit.
Kurt looked down at his stomach in wonder, not sure how it had made such a loud noise. "I guess so. I hadn't noticed."
Blaine moved Kurt out of his lap and stood, holding his hand. "Well, let's go get you some food. I'd say we could just go get something from the Lima Bean but you probably had a muffin or something for breakfast."
Kurt spoke. "Actually, that sounds fine. I didn't eat breakfast."
Kurt began walking to Blaine's car, pulling Blaine along with him, not noticing that Blaine had fallen silent. Kurt began talking about a lady he had heard from the back of the shop and how she had spoken with the "most ridiculous accent, Blaine. It was like she was trying to sing opera and speak at the same time, all while being from Jersey."
Blaine listened as Kurt spoke for the drive back to the Lima Bean, mentally crossing his fingers that Sebastian had left. He sighed in relief when he saw that he was gone. He gave Kurt a gentle shove towards their table and told him he'd get him something.
Picking out a muffin, oatmeal, and a cup of fruit and some yogurt for Kurt, he ordered a refill on coffee for himself and a cup of Kurt's coffee. He brought the food over to the table and sat it down in front of Kurt.
"Whoa. That's a lot of food. Is the muffin for you?" Kurt said, pushing it across the table to Blaine.
Blaine shook his head, smiling a bit. "No babe. It's all yours. You skipped breakfast so you should eat up now."
Eying the food with distaste, Kurt grimaced. "It's a lot of calories for one meal though. The muffin alone is a meal and so is the yogurt and fruit."
Sighing, Blaine raised a finger to Kurt as he heard his name called. Quickly grabbing the drinks, he returned back to the table and sat. Seeing Kurt was making headway on the fruit and yogurt, he smiled. Picking up a conversation, they began debating the merits of fashion in America versus fashion in Europe, sparking conversation about the various places they would travel to one day.
Without realizing it, Kurt finished all of the fruit and yogurt and oatmeal and half the muffin before stopping and putting a hand over his stomach. "I'm stuffed. I'm not eating again for the rest of the week."
Rolling his eyes, Blaine swept up their trash and threw it out and the two headed for the door. "You are going to eat again in about five hours actually."
Shaking his head, Kurt opened the passenger door and threw himself into the seat. "No, by then I will have exploded from the amount of coffee shop goods I have consumed."
Blaine sighed and shut the door before getting in on his side. "Now look who is being overdramatic."
Kurt pulled on his seatbelt. "Overdramatic? Blaine, that was a lot of food."
Turning the car on, Blaine pulled out and started driving to his house. "Maybe. But you skipped breakfast. Babe, you can't skip meals. You don't have enough meat on you to afford that."
"What are you talking about? I have pear hips. Skipping a meal or two won't hurt me." Kurt said.
"Babe, you don't have pear hips. They are perfect just like the rest of you. Don't say that about yourself."
Groaning, Kurt leaned his head back. "Are you going to make this into a whole big thing or can we just move on?"
Blaine pulled into his driveway and turned to Kurt. "I don't know Kurt. I would have been willing to let it go but now, I don't think I will."
Blaine watched as Kurt sent him a glare before unbuckling his seatbelt and exiting the car.
