AN: Glad everyone enjoyed. Party on!
Chapter 79
"Hey guys, come on in!" Rachel said cheerfully, pulling them in. Blaine and Kurt entered and, after taking off their jackets, stepped into the living room.
"Dolphins!" Brittany called loudly, bounding over and pulling them into a hug.
Startled, they gave her a hug, Kurt laughing. "Brit, I just saw you a couple days ago."
"I know. But I missed seeing both dolphins together." With that explanation, she bounded back to Santana.
Blaine chucked a bit. The two separated, going to talk with different people. Finn arrived shortly after with Puck and the party really started.
Rachel tried to start karaoke but Quinn and Santana laughed as she couldn't find the microphones. Kurt joined in when they revealed the mikes hidden in their bags.
Pouting a bit, Rachel blasted music, moving around the room and trying to get people eating and dancing. Kurt shared a glance with Blaine as she raved about the fake meat she had set out.
A couple hours of dancing and talking later, Kurt flopped onto the couch next to Tina and watched Blaine chatting with Mike, attempting to imitate his dance moves.
"Having fun?" Kurt asked.
Tina laughed. "Surprisingly yes."
Kurt nodded. "For a Rachel Berry party, it's not bad."
Tina giggled at that. "Well, it's better without alcohol I guess."
"Agreed." Kurt said vehemently, making eye contact with Tina before both started laughing.
They dissolved into silence for a bit before Tina asked. "Want to go outside with me? I need some fresh air."
Kurt bit his lip, looking over to where Blaine was still distracted. He stood and turned to Tina. "Let's go."
Offering his arm, they headed out quickly, Kurt checking back to make sure Blaine wasn't watching. They put on their coats and stepped outside, staring at the flurry of snow falling.
Tina laughed and pulled Kurt out, tilting her head back. "I love snow. It's just so pretty."
Kurt looked around, smile on his face. "It really is."
They walked further down the driveway, looking at how quickly the snow was falling. After a few minutes, Tina started shivering.
"Want to go in?" Kurt asked, his own teeth chattering.
Tina agreed and they quickly walked back up to the door. When they just got to the top of the driveway, Tina stumbled on some ice and went down, pulling Kurt with her.
"Shoot, are you okay Tina?" Kurt asked, rubbing his arm that had slammed on the ground to break his fall. He looked over and saw Tina grasping her ankle, biting her lip. "What's wrong?"
"I think I twisted it." Tina said, voice pained.
Kurt stood and tried to pull Tina up but ended up slipping again, hitting his arm again.
"Oww, shoot. I'll go get help, okay?" Kurt said nervously, shooting looks up at the house.
Tina gave him a tense smile. "Probably a good idea. Shit, Mike's going to be pissed."
"Yeah, Blaine will be too. He didn't want me to go outside." Kurt admitted.
Tina sighed. "Neither did Mike. Now I'm going to get another lecture on snow safety."
Kurt squeezed her hand before standing. "Well I hope I just get a lecture." He murmured, almost too quietly for Tina to hear.
Tina did hear him and she blushed a bit. "Look Kurt, you don't have to admit you were out here. Just say you saw me outside the window. No sense in both of us getting in trouble."
Kurt blushed as he realized Tina had heard him. "I-I'll be back in a second."
He went inside and thought about what he was going to say. He went into the living room and looked to the window where he could just make out Tina in the snow. Making a decision, he called. "Hey, is Tina okay?"
Mike perked up at that and looked where Kurt was pointing, gasping when he saw her. "Tina!" He yelled, running out of the room and out the door. He kneeled next to her and stroked her face. "Are you okay?"
Tina nodded. "I'm fine Mike. My ankle's just hurt."
Mike grabbed her and scooped her up, bringing her inside and pushing past the watching glee club.
Rachel pulled out a chair for her in the kitchen before grabbing some ice. "Really, Tina. You can't risk your ankle during competition season. You could ruin our chances at-" Mike cut her off.
"Thanks Rachel. I got this. Why don't you all go back to the party now?" He gently wrapped Tina's ankle as everyone left. Kurt left last, making eye contact with Tina. She winked at him before looking back at Mike who began lecturing when he had Tina's attention.
"Where were you doing outside while it's snowing? And at night? It's so dangerous out…" Mike's voice faded as the door shut behind him.
Kurt turned to the living room and saw Blaine staring at him. "You okay babe?" Blaine asked, pulling Kurt into a hug.
Kurt laughed nervously. "Of course. I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be?"
Blaine furrowed his brow. "You seemed a little upset. Are you sure you're okay?"
Kurt flicked his hair, fixing his bangs in a nervous gesture. "Of course I'm sure. Now let's go back to the party."
He moved away from Blaine and had almost made it in the living room when Blaine asked. "Why are you wearing your jacket?"
Kurt bit his lip as he mentally kicked himself. He turned around and offered hopefully. "I was cold?"
Blaine arched an eyebrow, crossing his arms. "You sure?"
Kurt blushed and looked down, walking back to Blaine. "I- um I, can we talk about this later?" He asked pleadingly, looking up into Blaine's eyes.
Blaine sighed and pulled Kurt into a hug. "Yeah, we can."
Kurt relaxed into Blaine's arms and they stood there until they were startled by a yell from inside the room. Breaking apart, Blaine gave Kurt a quick kiss before going back into the party.
Kurt sighed before he took off his jacket and shoes and went back into the room, sitting next to Brittany.
"Dolphins aren't good at lying." She said patting him on the knee.
