blaine took a deep breath and kurt gave his hand a gentle squeeze.
"i don't know what you're so worried about. I've met you family before" kurt smiled.
"no, you've met my parents. cooper and Skye are a completely different thing" blaine shook his head and kurt giggled at him.
"you've met finn and my family. so this makes us even" blaine rolled his eyes, remembering the time he had met kurt's family and how comfortable he felt.
blaine opened his front door, stepping in and pulling kurt behind him.
"blaine is that you dear?" his mother asked from the kitchen.
"yer it's me mom" blaine called back.
Blaine's mother appeared in the door way. she wore an apron and had her hair pinned up.
she smiled at kurt when she saw him.
"hey sweetie. you ok?" she asked in kurt's direction.
"super. do you need a hand?" kurt responded, pointing to the kitchen.
"i know a thing or two" kurt smiled before Blaine's mom could respond.
"thanks kurt. blaine could you go get your brother and sister for me?" blaine nodded as his mother and kurt walked into the kitchen. as he walked up the stairs he could hear his mom and kurt talking about cakes. this was a side of kurt blaine hadn't seen.
he tapped lightly on his sisters room, well the spare room.
"come in" she called from the other side of the door. blaine pushed the door open and Skye was laying on the bed. she had sheets of paper scattered around her and a large wooden box of sketching pencils, colouring pencils, crayons and other art stuff. blaine sat on the edge of the bed and picked up one of the sheets of paper.
"you're really good you know" blaine said as he studied the picture of a girl. she was sat on a park bench with the moon shining in the sky. and blaine was right. they were amazing. they had so much detail and the colours blended together so well.
"thanks" Skye blushed. just like blaine, she wasn't very good at taking complements.
"you're welcome. but i mean it, they're really good" he smiled at her as she started to collect all of her drawings.
"is there a reason you came up here?" she asked politely.
"yes, there is actually" he smiled as she raised one of her eyebrows at him.
"kurt's downstairs" she gasped and dropped the pile of drawings she had collected.
"the kurt?" she asked. she was jumping up and down excitedly.
"no. kurt cobain" blaine said sarcastically. she rolled her eyes and ran from the room.
blaine just chuckled and went to get his brother.
kurt was stirring a bowl of chocolate brownie mix when a girl came running down the stairs.
she ran into the kitchen and Blaine's mother just rolled her eyes.
"hi kurt!" she beamed. she held her hand out for kurt to take.
"Skye right?" kurt asked. he laughed at how spontaneous she was and pulled her into a hug which she gladly accepted.
"as if you didn't know" she said.
next an older boy came down the stairs. he wasn't as excited as Skye but he was happy to see him.
"wes called earlier honey. i told him you'd call him back" Blaine's mother said as they all left the table. kurt had taken a warming to Skye and he knew finn would love cooper.
"who's wes?" kurt asked when they had both collapsed on Blaine's bed. blaine picked up his phone from his bedside table.
"my best friend from Westerville" blaine smiled and kurt smiled back.
"do you mind?" blaine asked. he signalled to his phone indicating he wanted to use it.
"go ahead" kurt smiled. he lay on his tummy as blaine stood up and started to pace up and down.
hello? came a voice on the other end of the phone after the first ring.
hey wes. it's blaine.. blaine was on the phone for at least half on hour. kurt was happy just watching his boyfriend talk. he blushed a little when his name was mentioned. kurt jumped up when blaine screamed excitedly.
oh my gosh wes! he said into the phone. kurt rolled his eyes and laughed. he pulled out his own phone to find he had an un read message. he opened it and read that it was from sam.
dude, we just saw brad and he looked pissed. said he was coming to see you, although i don't think he's angry at you- Sammy boy.
kurt scanned the text and was immediately worried. not for himself but for blaine.
the text was sent 10 minutes ago and kurt needed to know how long it would be until karofsky showed up at his house, where his dad and carol were. he would need to wait outside for brad karofsky.
ok. where was he when he left?- kurt
my place. he should be at yours soon- Sammy boy.
kurt didn't reply. he got up from the bed and walked over to blaine who was still talking, but kurt was in his own world to know what about. kurt kissed blaine on the cheek and mouthed 'one minute'. blaine nodded and he left.
kurt was stood outside his house. he didn't want to see brad but he knew there was no way to get out of it. before kurt had any more time to think, a black car pulled up onto his curb. kurt sighed and put his hands in his pockets.
the car door opened and a tall boy retreated from it. he was tall, not as tall as finn but a little taller than kurt. he wore black sunglasses even though it was getting dark outside. he had a black and red jacket on and smiled as he looked at kurt.
"hey my baby boy. haven't you grown up?" he asked. he walked over to kurt and leaned on his car.
"I don't want a nice chat brad. what the fuck do you want?" kurt asked sternly.
brad just laughed at him.
"you've got more confident. i like that. i wanted to say i liked the little stunt you pulled. cute" he smirked. kurt just rolled his eyes.
"if that's all you wanted I'm leaving" kurt turned to walk away but brad spoke.
"i want you back little brother. in my gang. it hasn't been the same without you" kurt glared at brad.
"I'm not your little brother. and i would never come back to your gang. i hated it and after what you did to me i hate you. so leave me alone and tell your real little brother to stay the fuck away" kurt wanted to go back to Blaine's but he couldn't, something was making him stay.
"listen, i apologize for dave. but think about it yer kurt?" kurt just kept his glare.
"I'm trying to change karofsky. I'm gonna make something of my life" kurt said. he meant what he said. he wanted to do it, for blaine.
"why? it's never gonna happen bro. and that blaine kid will leave you, you know it. you said it yourself kid, there's no such thing as love" kurt grimaced, remembering he had said those words once upon a time.
"don't talk about blaine karofsky! you don't know anything!" kurt could feel his anger boiling up inside of him. brad laughed at him again.
"calm it kurt. god. you never used to get so worked up."
"just leave karofsky. grow up and leave me alone" kurt half whispered. brad didn't respond, he just stared at kurt with an emotion in his eyes which kurt thought was...respect?
"you've changed kurt. so much. it's because of blaine isn't it. i respect that" kurt nodded and walked back to Blaine's house. he didn't look back at karofsky, he just kept walking.
"i'm so tired and it's only seven" kurt yawned. he was laying on Blaine's chest as they watched harry potter and the goblet of fire. blaine went ecstatic when he found out kurt was a potterhead.
"so are you gonna tell me why you were screaming on the phone earlier?" blaine chuckled as a huge grin painted on his face.
"wes and david are coming down for the weekend after Skye's gone back to new York so they can have the spare room" kurt smiled as he looked up at blaine.
"so i finally get to meet them" kurt asked. blaine hummed as he pressed his lips to kurt's.
kurt was walking down the empty corridor. catering was the only class he didn't have with blaine so he was definitely skipping it. he already knew so much about cooking and he was an amazing cook just like his mother. so what was the point?
he didn't know where to go. it got boring walking around the corridor by yourself for an hour. he stopped when a sheet of paper caught his eye. he walked up to the notice board and read the sheet of paper clearly.
Glee Club auditions:
your show choir needs you!
go to the auditorium at lunch, break or before/ after school on Wednesday
kurt remembered the times he would be one of six people in glee club. that included finn and himself. Tina Cohen chang, artie abrahms, Rachel berry, Mercedes jones, kurt Hummel and finn Hudson.
it later changed to;
Tina cohen chang, Artie abrahms, Rachel berry, Mercedes jones, kurt hummel, finn hudson, mike chang, Quinn fabray, Santana Lopez, Brittany and Noah puckerman.
then kurt got involved with the wrong crowd. his mother died and kurt stopped attending school. he got arrested on the odd occasion and started fights.
kurt's thoughts drifted to his old glee club members.
Tina cohen chang was strange. not in a bad way. she was just different. just like everyone else in glee club. she was pretty and had an amazing voice. but she was low in confidence and pretended to have a stutter. but that all changed when mike came. she sang all the time and spoke more that Rachel berry. but she was a good friend and kurt was sad to leave her, she was one of his best friends and he was having a hard time. Tina understood kurt's decision but always tried to say hello whenever she saw him and he always said it back.
Artie abrahms was cool. all the girls fancied him and all the guys wanted to be him. he was on the football team and was one of the most popular guys in school. he loved the attention. but when he joined glee club and all that stopped, he couldn't bring himself to regret that decision. Artie got involved with kurt and kurt's gang. kurt was his best friend out of all of them and he missed being in glee with him. after artie had been in a car crash because of one of karofsky's 'friend' kurt told him that he shouldn't hang out with him. artie got put in a wheel chair and went back to being the glee club nerd. he loved it. and he remembered all the good times he had had with kurt.
Rachel berry was a narcissistic, stuck up and bossy girl. she loved the attention and the spot light. she was selfish and didn't think of any one else. but kurt still loved her. he would always fight with her over who got to sing what and he loved being a dive. Rachel was also one of his best friends and missed her crazy-ness.
Mercedes was the first person kurt told he was gay. she didn't judge kurt like most people and kurt loved her for it. Mercedes' mom was a single parent and Mercedes had to grow up a lot quicker because of it. and kurt respected that. she was independent and determined to get what she wanted. just like kurt and Rachel she was a diva. and a brilliant one at that.
Mike was friendly. kurt never really got the chance to speak to mike. mike never really sung anything, but boy could he dance. kurt and everyone else would watch mike dance around and have fun.
Brittany S. pierce was amazing. she was loving and caring. she wasn't as smart as everyone else and she lived in her own little world. but she was funny and she could always cheer someone up. she tried to comfort kurt through the loss of his mom but he isolated her and she didn't really understand it. when Santana left her and isolated her just like kurt and Quinn, Brittany gave up trying to think why. she went back to being a cheerleader and a member of glee club and stopped trying to chase her old friends.
kurt's mind drifted back to his friends and what they were like before he started a gang with them.
Finn was the quarter back of McKinley football club. he was popular but didn't like it. he didn't like all the attention he got and was kind of glad that when he joined glee, people left him alone a little.
Quinn fabray was the lovely girl she still us. kurt met her when he was studying in the library. she was tapping her pen against the table and she was alone. she was always alone. but then she joined glee and things changed for her. when everyone else joined glee they dropped to the bottom of the food chain. but not for Quinn. she became head of the cheerio's and was popular. but she got pregnant and her parents dis owned her. Mercedes took her in and she didn't look back.
Santana was a bitch. but she was popular and beautiful and everyone loved her. she was in the cheerio's and that's how she and Quinn became best friends. no one ever really knew what was going on between Santana and Brittany. but it was more than friendship. when Santana got involved with kurt's gang she left the cheerio's and glee club. just like everyone else. she stopped speaking to Brittany because she didn't want to het hurt. when you're in a gang that has karofsky as an enemy, it's always dangerous.
Noah was a bad ass. he was full of himself and a jerk, but he cared. he could be nice if he wanted to. when kurt asked him to start a gang with him and stand up to karofsky, he agreed gladly. he didn't care about the danger. puck left glee club just like everyone one else. they couldn't keep up a reputation if they were singing and dancing all day. for a while he stopped attending school but Quinn forced them to go.
kurt was sat on the couch with carol, burt, finn and Quinn. Quinn and carol were talking about Quinn's future; what she wanted to be and where she wanted to live.
finn and burt had their eyes focused on the tv screen. and kurt was in his own little world, thinking about glee club. did he want to rejoin? the answer was yes. yes, he wanted to go back to glee club with all his friends and study hard so he could make something of his life. he remembered a recent conversation he had had with blaine. about how blaine said he could create a career with his voice, and that's what kurt wanted. he wanted to move to new York and get involved with Broadway and sing. of course he never told any one this.
"glee club's looking for new members" kurt said without thinking about it. he was staring in to the distance and didn't know if any one had actually heard him.
he broke his gaze and turned to look at everyone. first to burt, then finn, then carol and Quinn. and back to burt.
"and?" finn asked. it wasn't rude but it sounded concerned for some reason.
"are you going to join?" carol asked. she was smiling at him. it was obvious she wanted kurt to go back to his old self. of course she never really knew the old kurt but she had heard from burt.
kurt just shrugged.
"i think you should. i think we all should" Quinn spoke. finn nodded slightly.
"preach" burt said, pumping a fist in the air. everyone laughed at him before turning back to kurt.
"so? are you?" finn asked.
"maybe. I'm sick of it all to be honest" kurt said. nobody needed to ask him what. they all knew.
"well i think you should. it used to make you so happy" burt said. kurt nodded at his father's words.
"I'd happily go back. i miss Mr. Shue" Quinn smiled and carol smiled at her positivity.
"me too." finn said. he scrunched his nose up a little. "i miss everyone" he continued.
"when are auditions?" carol asked.
"tomorrow" kurt answered.
"well i don't know about any one else. but I'm so in" Quinn smiled.
"same here. we should tell everyone else. i know Santana misses Brittany" finn said. everyone was sympathetic to Santana when it came to Brittany.
"so I'm joining glee club again." kurt smiled at blaine as they took a seat in the lima bean.
blaine smiled widely as he gulped on his coffee.
"that's great kurt!"
"will you join with us?" kurt asked. blaine raised an eyebrow and kurt proceeded talking.
"come on blaine, please?" kurt begged. blaine remembered how he used to be the lead singer in the Dalton academy warblers and debated whether he should join with kurt or not.
"ok" blaine nodded. kurt smiled and leaned over the table. he cupped Blaine's face and pressed a kiss to his lips.
kurt knocked lightly on the choir room door. he pushed it open and saw Mr. schuester at the white board. he glanced around to see Rachel berry, Mercedes, mike, tina, and a few other faces kurt didn't recognise. he coughed slightly and mr. schue turned to face him.
"kurt?" he asked. he didn't recognise kurt at first but he soon recognised his eyes and amazing fashion sense.
"that's me" kurt smiled. "I've come to join glee club"
