Chapter 9 - Happier


Blaine's mother walked into Blaine's room a couple of hours after Kurt had arrived. She didn't know how long it would take them to work out the problems this argument had caused, but she knew they would fix it.

To say she was elated when she walked into her son's bedroom and saw them cuddled up in his bed was an understatement. She may be a mom, and she should probably be worried that her son is sharing a bed with is boyfriend, but she was just glad that they had sorted things out. She didn't want to see her little boy sad or in pain, and she knew that he needed Kurt to make things feel better.

She walked out of the room quietly, closing the door behind her, walking back downstairs to let Burt Hummel know that Kurt would not be home that night.

The two boys were later awoken from their slumber by a small force with a big mouth.

"Come on you two. I've ordered pizza, so get yourselves downstairs before Richard eats it all."

Kurt made a move to get up, but was pulled back down by the hobbit.

"Moooom... go away." the curly haired boy moaned tightening his grip on Kurt.

Blaine's mom looked at them both and sighed, "You've got five minutes. Then I'm getting the ice bucket."

Kurt gave Mrs. Anderson a worried look. He let out a quiet sigh of relief when he saw her wink at him. He watched as the woman left the room before turning towards her son.

"Wake up Blainey," He whispered. The shorter boy just snuggled closer into him mumbling, "Come on sweetie. We have to go eat, and I don't want ice tipped over my head."

The shorter boy let out an unintelligible mumble again in protest.

Kurt sat there for a moment, and let his eyes wonder around the room.

He was hit with shock when he saw the clock on Blaine's bedside table read 9pm.

He shot out of bed - which also made Blaine fall out - to grab his phone to ring Burt.

He answered after a few rings, "Hey Kurt"

"Dad! I'm sorry, but I'm going to be home late..." he started.

"Kurt-"

"But Blaine and I fell asleep and his mom ordered pizza-"

"Kurt. You can stay at Blaine's tonight."

Kurt stopped altogether at that point, waiting for his father to continue.

"Blaine's mom told me that you two had had an argument. Her and I both know how much you guys need each other, so you're going to stay at their house for the weekend and then you and Blaine can both go to school on Monday. You need to rest Kurt, I've woken up in the middle of the night to hear you crying. So, take the weekend to rest then you can both go back to school on Monday."

When Burt had finished talking, Kurt had no idea what to say. He was glad that he was staying with Blaine the whole weekend, he could try and help Blaine stop cutting.

He looked to the other boy -who was still laid on the floor - and smiled at him.

The smile he got in return warmed his heart.

"Thanks dad. I'll call you later. I love you."

"Love you too, buddy."

He disconnected the call, then turned to look at Blaine who looked like he was drifting back to sleep even with the goofy smile on his face.

He held out his hand to pull the shorter boy up, "Come on sweetie. Let's go get some food."

The curly-haired boy took his hand letting himself be pulled up by Kurt.

"I'm getting the ice bucket ready!" They heard Blaine's mom yell up the stairs.

The two boys let out a laugh, and started to walk downstairs together.

~0~

Having Kurt's hand in his again made him feel whole. He didn't think that Kurt just holding his hand would make him feel so much better.

"There you two are." Mr. Anderson started with a slightly forced smile.

He's trying, I'll give him that, Blaine thought.

The two boys sat on the floor near the coffee table opposite Blaine's dad.

"So... Blaine.. I was thinking that maybe we should report this Daniel Tarofsky to the principle when you go back to school." Richard started, looking at the floor.

"His name is David Karofsky, dad," Blaine started. He looked from Kurt and then back to his dad, "But yeah... It's worth a try I guess..." He trailed off.

"I just don't want to see you in pain anymore..."

Blaine froze. His dad didn't say anything like this after the Sadie Hawkins dance, and he never really thought through why his dad never mentioned it. Blaine simply thought that his dad didn't really care at the time. He didn't stop to think about how much this affected his dad, they had had an argument just before the dance and Blaine had the irrational idea that his dad hated him and didn't care anymore.

"Well... good." Mr. Anderson started after a few minutes of silence, "We'll go see the principle on Monday, and see if we can get this whole thing sorted out. You never know, maybe they'll expel him..."

Blaine smiled at his dad when they heard the knock on the door.

"Oh! That must be the Pizza..." he heard his mother say. He heard the click of her heels as she walked towards the door.

~0~

"Well, that was quick," Mrs. Anderson said as she opened the door ready to hand over the money.

"Mrs. Anderson? We're here to see Blaine."

~0~

The three men were sat in the living room waiting for the pizza.

"Where is she? I'm really hungry."

"Dad... when aren't you hungry?"

"Blaine, you have some visitors." His mother interrupted as she walked into the room.

When Blaine turned to face his mother, he was greeted with the sight of the New Directions...


CLIFFHANGER! MWAHAHAHA
