hey guys, i know this chapter is a little shorter then others ones but i didnt know how to end so i cut it short. i have been thinking about when blaine goes to mckinley and sings 'somewhere only we know' and thinking if i should use it in the this story. it was a great scene and i love the cover of the song they did but i was also very disappointed with it. as sweet as 'ill never say goodbye to you' was, it felt under done. it also made me angry that kurt didnt give blaine on final look as he left, i have an idea of how i am going to get blaine to say goodbye to kurt at dalton but i dont know if i should get blaine to go to mckinley and sing aswell. so if you want you can leave me some feedback on your ideas of what you think should happen. anyway please enjoy the chapter i like it and i hope you do to.
disclaimer: i dont own glee or rent
Kurt woke up with the sun shining on him; the sun was too bright for it to be early. Kurt looked over at his clock, 12:37pm. Kurt knew he should get up because they were having lunch with Charlotte but he was far too content to do anything. Kurt felt Blaine shift next to him. He thought it was sweet that Blaine always woke up the same time as he did. Blaine reached over and softly played with Kurt's hair, Kurt kept his eyes closed and pretended to be asleep.
"Kurt? Are you awake?" Blaine whispered and pressed a kiss to the top of Kurt's head. Kurt tried to fight the smile that was about to appear on his face.
"No" Kurt murmured and turned into his pillow.
"Sleep talking, that's new" Blaine teased.
"Shush you" Kurt said against his pillow. Blaine laughed and tugged Kurt over to him; Blaine pulled Kurt on to his chest and wrapped his arms around Kurt.
"Ok I might wake up now" Kurt said and slowly opened his eyes.
"How did you sleep?" Blaine asked as he played with Kurt's hair. Kurt like having his hair played with, but never let anyone touch it after he did his hair in the morning. There was something about it that felt intermit with out being sexual, it was nice.
"Good I think, all I remember is closing my eyes and waking up now; like I blinked or something" Kurt said with a yawn.
"Yeah me to, I was really tired after lugging Wes's ass up the stairs last night. Aren't we having lunch with them today?" Blaine asked with a yawn.
"Or we could just go back to sleep" Kurt suggested as he rested his head over Blaine's heart.
"Tempting but I don't think I could sleep anymore. I'm surprised that we didn't hear from Charlotte last night. I thought she would have had her hands full with everyone" Blaine said as he stretched out his legs and arms.
"Yea but I think they would have all just fallen asleep as soon as their heads hit the pillow" Kurt said nonchalantly.
"You know what I realised?" Kurt asked as he turned his head to look at Blaine, Blaine smiled a little when Kurt looked at him.
"Ok I realise two things. You look unfairly amazing right now and that I haven't kissed you yet" Kurt said as he reached up and kissed Blaine softly on the lips, Blaine kissed him back and then smiled at Kurt.
"How do I look amazing right now? My hair is probably everywhere and I look really pale since its winter" Blaine said, Kurt reached up and wiped the corner of Blaine's mouth.
"And you have drool on your face" Kurt laughed.
"Oh god" Blaine sighed embarrassedly; Kurt just smiled and continued to talk.
"You look amazing right now because you look so relaxed and peaceful, it's refreshing to see you like this" Kurt admitted and placed another kiss on Blaine's lips.
"I only feel relaxed around you. You sort of have to be on your guard around Wes and David and when I see my parents they are like strangers to me, so I don't really feel all that comfortable around them" Blaine said as he subconsciously played with Kurt's hair, smiling contently. Kurt looked up at Blaine and smiled faintly.
"You don't talk about your family much" Kurt said, Blaine just shrugged a little.
"Not much to tell I guess. My dad is a CEO of some huge legal company, my mum is a trophy wife in every sense of the word, spends up big on clothes and jewellery and stuff she doesn't need. My sister, Sarah refused to conform to them and got a job much to their disliking. They wanted her to marry some guy with a good family name, but now she is a fashion editor at vouge. My other sister, Rose is married to a guy with an exceedingly wealthy family; she hates him but is staying together because of her kids. I think its wrong but she won't listen to me, when I visited her I could see that her kids could tell that everything wasn't ok, which is scary considering they are 5 and 7. Then there is me"
"Which is the best member of the family" Kurt added. Blaine smiled sheepishly and continued.
"The kid they stowed away at boarding school so they didn't have to deal with me" Kurt raised an eyebrow at him.
"Deal with you?" Kurt asked curiously.
"My dad is awkward around me because he thinks since he is a guy I must be attracted to him, but what he doesn't know is that i'm not really big on the whole incest thing" Kurt smiled glumly at Blaine joke.
"My mum doesn't understand and refuses to learn about me and my dad's situation so she just drowns herself in another cocktail. My sisters knew I was gay before I did, they are actually really happy that I am gay I don't really know why. My mum and dad aren't that comfortable with it, so I only see them during the holidays and stay here at Dalton on the weekends so I don't have to see them. On the holidays they go on trips somewhere and leave me at home which isn't always good, but I can do what I want so it's not all bad" Blaine said with a shrug.
"That's not really healthy Blaine" Kurt said seriously.
"What do you mean?" Blaine asked.
"That you are so comfortable with your parents leaving you all the time, it just doesn't seem right" Kurt admitted.
"I guess I just don't know any different but there was always someone at the house, so I wasn't completely alone" Blaine said.
"I can come stay with you in the summer break if you like" Kurt said sounding hopeful that Blaine would say yes.
"It would probably be the best summer if you did" Blaine said, Kurt kissed Blaine on the cheek and smiled.
"The king of cheesy one liner's returns" Kurt said through a laugh.
"You love it" Blaine said before he kissed Kurt on the lips.
"Huh, it all makes sense now" Kurt said as he shifted higher on his bed so he was facing Blaine.
"What does?" Blaine asked as he hugged Kurt closer to him.
"Why you are so affectionate" Kurt said as he looked up at Blaine. Blaine loosened his grip around Kurt.
"It's not a bad thing Blaine" Kurt reassured as he put his arm around Blaine's mid section.
"I think that since you were little that your parents never really held you or hugged you, so you are always trying to hug me to make up for it" Kurt said as he kissed Blaine's cheek.
"Or maybe it's because I just like to hug you" Blaine teased and kissed Kurt.
"Either way I don't mind" Kurt said with a laugh. Kurt looked over at his clock and sighed.
"Do you think we should get up?" Kurt asked; there was a knock on the door.
"Think so" Blaine agreed, he got out of the bed and started to walk to the door.
"Um, Blaine?" Kurt asked, Blaine stopped and turned.
"As much as I regret saying this but you might want to put a shirt on" Kurt said as he looked at Blaine's body, smiling. Blaine looked back at Kurt and smiled.
"You to" Blaine said and pick up Kurt's jacket on the floor and put it on, Kurt grabbed a black shirt that was on the ground and put it on. Blaine opened the door to reveal a smiling Charlotte. Wes, Sophie and David were wearing dark sunglasses and nursing a cup of coffee.
"Good morning!" Blaine shouted. All three groaned and held there head, Charlotte smiled and they made their way into the room.
"You ready to go?" Charlotte asked as she surveyed the room. She spotted Kurt still lying in bed.
"We just woke up actually" Blaine admitted.
"How? It's almost 1" Charlotte asked.
"I don't know too much dancing or something last night made us tired" Kurt said, Charlotte smiled.
"Or something" Charlotte repeated.
"Get your mind out of the gutter" Kurt said with a yawn.
"Hurry up and get ready, i'm starving" Charlotte ordered, Kurt sighed and pushed himself out of bed. He walked over to his closet and picked out some clothes from his limited selection. The shirt in the closet didn't go with his jeans so he looked for the shirt he wore yesterday. He picked up a shirt that he thought was his but was Blaine's.
"Kurt what happened to your shirt?" Sophie asked slightly horrified as she noticed there was a rip on one side from where a button got torn across the shirt. It was partly Kurt's fault for ruining Blaine's shirt but it was mostly Blaine for looking so good in it. Kurt's cheeks started to redden; Blaine smirked happily, waiting to see what Kurt would come up with.
"What's wrong with it?" Kurt asked, he thought he would try playing dumb.
"There is a massive rip on the front of it" Sophie said as she pointed it.
"Oh you mean this shirt" Kurt asked, he saw Blaine roll his eyes at him and smirk.
"Yes Kurt that shirt, you aren't very bright this morning" Sophie said. Kurt decided to go in another direction since playing dumb wasn't really working for him.
"Oh it's a new fashion trend in England, everyone is doing it" Kurt said matter-of-factly. He looked around to see if they were buying it. Sophie, Wes and David couldn't care less as they were gulping down there coffee, Charlotte was slowly nodding her head and Blaine just bit his lip trying not to laugh.
"What part of England?" Blaine asked; Kurt glared at Blaine who continued to smirk.
"Maybe you should research it if you are that interested" Kurt challenged.
"That's ok, just tell me which town" Blaine said, barely containing his composure.
"London" Kurt said hesitantly, he couldn't think of any other town in England.
"Anyway i'm having a shower" Kurt said abruptly and walked into the bathroom. Kurt shut the door behind him and turned the shower on. Kurt quickly showered and did his abbreviated facial routine. Kurt put on his pair of jeans and went to put this shirt on but he realised he brought Blaine's shirt with him. He put the shirt on and looked in the mirror. He smirked a little at his appearance; no one would wear a shirt like this out in public, it was ripped and there was no buttons on it and it was beyond repair, but he had no other shirt in the bathroom. He went out of the bathroom and quickly walked over to his closet; Blaine was standing next to the closet and smiled.
"Wow Kurt you are so fashion forward" Blaine said sarcastically but sounded serious.
"Kurt it actually looks good, I wasn't sure if it would but it does" Sophie said as she looked at Kurt. Blaine coughed and started to smile.
"Kurt maybe you can make a shirt like that for me" Wes said as he took a sip of his coffee. Blaine started coughing again; Kurt knew Blaine was covering up his laughter.
"Blaine, are you ok" Kurt asked through tight lips. Blaine just started to smile.
"Yea I think I am coming down with a cold" Blaine said with a smile.
"Poor Blaine" Charlotte cooed, "You look like you need a hug", Blaine took a step to Kurt and put his arms around Kurt. Kurt put his mouth near Blaine's ear.
"You owe me" Kurt whispered and pulled away from Blaine, Blaine just smiled. Kurt walked over to a small duffle bag and looked in it for a new shirt.
"What are you doing?" Wes asked as he looked at Kurt.
"I don't want to wear this shirt anymore" Kurt said as he pulled out a white v-neck graphic tee. Kurt took off his shirt and put his graphic tee on. Kurt threw his other shirt at Wes.
"Here Wes you can have it" Kurt said sheepishly.
"Thanks Kurt" Wes said as he placed it on Kurt's bed. Kurt looked through his duffle bag and found his silver satin vest and put it on over his tee.
"Ok let's get going" Charlotte said as she clapped her hands together and pushed herself off Kurt's bed.
Kurt looked around to find David sitting in his vanity chair with his head looking at ceiling.
"Is he asleep?" Kurt asked as he walked up next to him. Kurt lightly shook his shoulder.
"David, time for food" Kurt said, David woke up instantly. Kurt just laughed as everyone slowly walked out of his room; he grabbed his keys, phone and wallet and slammed his locked door shut.
"Jesus Kurt, make enough noise" Wes said angrily, he forgot that they were severely hung over.
"Sorry, so I guess we are taking my car since most of you are incapable of driving" Kurt asked.
"And your car is the only one big enough so we don't have to take two" Charlotte added, they all walked down the corridor, Blaine made his way next to Kurt. Blaine tried to hold Kurt's hand but Kurt just frowned at him.
"Come on its funny" Blaine whispered.
"Frickin' hysterical" Kurt said sarcastically.
"Actually is" Blaine said with a laugh, Kurt just groaned and walked faster. Blaine jogged up to catch Kurt, Kurt just looked at Blaine.
"You do realise that you are wearing a pair of black skinny leg jeans and my red military jacket with no shirt right?" Kurt asked, Blaine looked down at himself and grinned.
"Whoops, oh well. I'll just keep the jacket buttoned up" Blaine said and successfully grasped Kurt's hand. Kurt tried to be annoyed at Blaine but failed. Kurt squeezed Blaine's hand and looked behind them. Everyone was straggling behind, holding their head with one hand as they walked.
"We will never get any food at this rate" Kurt muttered, Blaine just grinned and nodded. Charlotte met up with them and waited for everyone else to catch up.
"Do you know what happened to Jeff?" Kurt asked.
"No I don't, last I saw him, he was passed out on the couch" Charlotte said as she ran a hand threw her hair, combing it with her fingers.
"So how was your morning?" Blaine asked.
"Fun, David complained about the ticking of the clock. Complaining it was too loud"
"But I don't have a ticking clock in my room" Blaine said in a confused tone.
"Yea it's in the next room" Charlotte said.
"Sophie woke up and the last thing she says she remembers is saying surprise to Kurt" Charlotte added.
"Wow, that is really sad" Kurt said; the rest had caught up and they walked outside into the cold winter air. They all walked over to the car.
"If you throw up in my car, you are cleaning it up" Kurt informed pointedly. There was a chorus of murmured yes as they got into the car. Kurt and Blaine sat in the front and everyone else piled into the back. Kurt started his car and flicked on the heater. Blaine flipped through the stations on the radio and David groan.
"Blaine, just pick a station already" David said exasperatedly. Blaine laughed and picked a techno station.
"It feels like a hammer is getting repetitively bashed against my head" Sophie groaned as she placed her head in her hands. Kurt plugged in his iPod and glared.
"Techno is not allowed to be played in my car" Kurt said as he put his seat belt on. Kurt turned his head and reversed out of his spot. He put the car in drive and drove out of the car park. Blaine searched through Kurt's iPod and put on 'open arms' by Journey. Blaine turned and smiled at David.
"Remember this David?" Blaine asked deviously. David just looked at him with a confused stare.
"Why would this remind me of anything?" David asked. Kurt, Blaine and Charlotte started to laugh.
"What is so funny?" David asked.
"Oh that's funny" Charlotte said she wiped a tear away. Kurt pulled into the car park of John's place. Kurt opened his door and got out of the car. Kurt closed his door and waited for everyone to get out of the car. Kurt clicked the button on his keys to lock his car and walked into the restaurant. They were escorted to a table and they all sat down. A snooty middle age woman came over to take their order.
"What do you want" she asked as she pulled out a pen and not pad.
"Pancakes and a chocolate milkshake" Blaine said.
"Yea pancakes aswell and orange juice" Kurt said.
"French toast and a caramel latte" Charlotte said.
"12 rashes out bacon and burnt toast with a lot of butter and Gatorade" David said.
"The greasy hamburger you have and hot water with lemon" Sophie said as she rested her head in her hands.
"And for you" the waitress asked as she looked at Wes.
"Hummus" Wes said.
"Do you want that hummus on something" she asked.
"No just in a large bowl" Wes groaned.
"Um ok" she wrote down the orders.
"No sunglasses are allowed to be worn inside" the waitress said in a cranky tone before she walked off. All 3 took their glasses off slowly.
"Whoa, I have never seen anyone's eyes that red" Charlotte said with a laugh.
"What is with the weird breakfast orders?" Blaine asked.
"Everyone has their own hangover cure" Wes said with a groan.
"Fuck the lights are bright" Sophie complained, she rubbed her eyes and tried to get the used to the light. Kurt just smirked.
"So what are we doing today?" Kurt asked.
"Eating then sleeping" Wes groaned, David nodded then grabbed his head.
"That's not very exciting" Kurt complained.
"I'm sorry that it disappoints you" Wes snapped. Kurt just rolled his eyes. He looked out the window and noticed tents across the road.
"What's happening over there?" Kurt asked, Blaine looked over to follow Kurt's gaze.
"There is a market on today I guess. We could go if you want" Blaine suggested.
"Blaine, I am not walking around a market for hours" David complained as he put his sunglasses back on.
"It's ok David we will find a stroller to put you in" Kurt said sarcastically. Charlotte cracked a smile.
"Good, i'm just going to lay here until the room stops spinning" David said as he rested his head on the table. Sophie abruptly got up from the table and ran to the girl's bathroom.
"Today is going to be fun" Blaine said with a cheeky grin.
"For you maybe" Wes retorted.
Breakfast was interesting. Kurt had never scene anyone eat a whole tub of hummus and not look sick, Wes actually looked slightly better from it. David ate all 12 rashes of bacon, Sophie returned back from the bathroom looking a little less green. Wes complained the whole time, saying the crunching of the bacon was too loud. Charlotte, Blaine and Kurt didn't say much during breakfast, they just listened to the three hung over people complain and banter.
They paid for their food and walked over to the market. They had all perked up a little after getting some food in their belly's and were in slightly higher spirits. They all walked over to an antique stall looking at the shining crystal.
"Well that is a bit stereotypical" Wes joked as he looked at Kurt and Blaine.
"What is?" Blaine asked as he slid his hand in Kurt's.
"You two antiquing" Wes said through a laugh. Kurt just rolled his eyes and looked at some of the little figurines.
"Wes we are only at this stall because Sophie was easily distracted by the 'shiny things'" Blaine said in his defence. Wes just shrugged.
"It's still funny" Wes said and walked over to Sophie who was about to pick up an expensive vase. He quickly took her hand and lead her to the next stall. Kurt followed them tugging Blaine with him.
They walked past a rack of clothes and Kurt stopped and looked through them.
"You have too many clothes already Kurt" Blaine stated, Kurt turned his head away from the close quickly and looked at Blaine.
"There is no such thing" Kurt said with a smile and returned to looking through the clothes. Kurt found a jacket and looked at it. He looked from Blaine to the jacket and pursed his lips.
"Try this on" Kurt said and handed it to Blaine.
"I don't have a shirt on" Blaine replied, Kurt just rolled his eyes.
"I don't care, try it on" Kurt urged and handed it to Blaine, Blaine stood there hesitantly. Kurt just sighed,
"Blaine I have seen you wear a lot less" Kurt said as he looked at Blaine.
"It's not you I am worried about" Blaine said as he looked around at the surrounding people. Kurt sighed and looked back on the rack and found an under shirt.
"Put this on if you are that self conscious" Kurt said, Blaine took the clothes and walked behind the clothes rack, to give him some privacy. Blaine took off Kurt's jacket and threw it over the clothes rack. Kurt caught it in the air and waited for Blaine to try the jacket on.
"Blaine it doesn't take that long to put a jacket on" Kurt said as he lent against the rack, Blaine walked around from the other side.
"Happy now?" Blaine asked, Kurt looked at the jacket and smiled.
"Turn" Kurt ordered, Blaine span around and faced Kurt again and smiled.
"I said turn not spin" Kurt said exasperatedly as he placed his hands on Blaine's shoulders and turned him around. Kurt looked at
the jacket.
"Is this just a ploy to stare at my ass" Blaine teased as he turned his head.
"No, I am more subtle when I do" Kurt said nonchalantly as he continued to look at the jacket. Blaine just laughed.
"Ok turn around" Kurt said as he stood Blaine infront of a mirror. Blaine smiled at his reflection.
"This jacket actually looks good on me" Blaine said as he checked himself out in the mirror.
"He says as if I didn't already know it would" Kurt said sarcastically, the jacket was well tailored, it gave Blaine a more defined masculine frame, it clung to his biceps and synched at his waist slightly.
"Do you like it?" Kurt asked as Blaine kept looking in the mirror.
"Yea, I really do. How can I pay you back for finding it" Blaine asked earnestly. Blaine walked over and paid the clerk the money for the jacket and walked back to Kurt.
Kurt had a great idea.
"Take you jacket off" Kurt ordered.
"No I like it" Blaine said defensively. Kurt just sighed and took Blaine's jacket, he hung it back up.
"You know how we watched 'Rent' the other night" Kurt asked.
"Yeah?" Blaine said skeptically.
"Ok now ask me how you can repay me again" Kurt said as he took Blaine's hand. Blaine just looked up at him.
"Kurt how can I repay you for finding me that jacket you wont let me wear, even though I have paid for it" Blaine said monotonously.
"With 1000 kisses" Kurt began to sing, Blaine just started to laugh.
"Be my lover and I'll cover you" Kurt said and hugged Blaine.
"Open your door,
I'll be your tenant
Don't got much baggage to lay at your feet
But sweet kisses I've got to spare
I'll be there and I'll cover you" Blaine sang and looked into Kurt's eyes. Kurt just smiled back and they both began to sing again. He saw Sophie, Wes, David and Charlotte looking at them, smiling widely. They heard flashes of a camera phone.
"I think they meant it when they said you can't buy love
Now I know you can rent it
A new lease you are my love, on life
Be my life
Just slip me on,
I'll be your blanket
Wherever, whatever, I'll be your coat" they sang together, Kurt pulled the jacket that Blaine was previously wearing and took it off the hanger. He held it out and helped Blaine put it on.
"You'll be my King, and I'll be your castle" Kurt sang and lightly tapped Blaine on the nose.
"No, you'll be my Queen, and I'll be your moat" Blaine sang, he took Kurt's hand and they started to run down the market strip.
"I think they meant it when they said you can't buy love
Now I know you can rent it
A new lease you are my love, on life
All my life
I've longed to discover
Something as true as this is" they sang together, they both had huge goofy smiles on their faces.
"So with a thousand sweet kisses, I'll cover you
,With a thousand sweet kisses, I'll cover you,
When you're worn out and
tired, When your heart has expired" Blaine sang.
"If you're cold and you're lonely
You've got one nickel only
With a thousand sweet kisses, I'll cover you,
With a thousand sweet kisses, I'll cover you" Kurt sang this at the same time Blaine sang the other lyrics. Blaine gripped Kurt around the waist while Kurt placed his hands around Blaine's neck, smiling at each other.
"Oh, lover,
I'll cover you,
Yeah,
Oh, lover,
I'll cover you..." they sang the last note and Blaine kissed Kurt. Kurt lightly traced his tongue over Blaine's bottom lip. Blaine pulled Kurt closer to Kurt and slowly massaged Kurt's tongue with his. Kurt and Blaine heard cat calls and whistling coming from Wes and David. Kurt and Blaine broke apart and rested the foreheads against each others.
"Aren't you glad that I told you to take the jacket off" Kurt teased. Blaine just rolled his eyes and pressed his lips to Kurt's, which received more cheers from Wes and David.
"That's two, only 998 to go" Kurt whispered with a laugh. Blaine just smiled.
"Oh that was really cute" David said as he slowly walked over to Kurt and Blaine.
"Why don't we ever sing to each other?" Wes asked as he stood next to David. Kurt and Blaine just continued to hug, smiling and looking into each others eye; ignoring David and Wes.
"Wes, I would love to sing you a song but I don't think we can follow that" David said.
"No you wouldn't be able to" Charlotte said as she walked up to them, holding Kurt's other jacket. Kurt just continued to smile at Blaine.
"Kurt, snap out of it" Wes said as he looked at Kurt's huge smiling face. Kurt felt exceedingly happy, like he was drugged or something that made you feel giddy with happiness.
"I really don't want to" Kurt said in a dreamy voice. He heard Sophie laugh at him.
"Kurt you look weird, are you feeling ok? You look sick." David asked, Blaine just grinned at Kurt and tightened his arms around Kurt.
"yeah love sick" Wes said.
"I am feeling happy, happy, happy" Kurt whispered.
"Oh great, he probably has a boner" Wes said exasperatedly.
"Shh, you're ruining the moment" Kurt whispered. Wes just sighed and crossed his arms. He looked at his watch and sighed again.
"We are drawing a crowd" Charlotte said as she looked around to find a few scattered people looking at them, wondering if they would sing another song.
"Blaine?" Sophie asked "you haven't said anything for like 2 minutes which is odd for you". Blaine just laughed quietly, he lent over and kissed Kurt again, just pressing their lips together and smiling as he did.
"997" Blaine whispered, Kurt just laughed and rested his head on Blaine's shoulder.
"Best market ever" Kurt whispered so only Blaine could hear. Blaine just laughed and untangled himself from Kurt but held his hand.
"So you two are functioning normally now?" Wes asked. Kurt and Blaine just smiled and quickly looked at each other. Wes just groaned.
"Close enough, come on there is a cotton candy stand over here" Wes said and started to walk off. They all followed slowly after him. Kurt and Blaine walked behind everyone, walking slowly, swaying their hands as they walked. Blaine looked over at Kurt and smiled.
"What?" Kurt asked dreamily, he still hadn't come back down from his happiness high yet.
"So along with shirts with buttons, I now have to wear this magic jacket. I think I can live with that" Blaine said sheepishly. Kurt nudged into Blaine's shoulder and stayed close to him.
"Damn straight" Kurt whispered.
