"Kurt, you're grounded." Burt's words hit Kurt like a sack of bricks.
"But dad!"
"No buts, kid. You don't put Nair in someone's shampoo! I don't care if you're in college. You're home for the summer and living under my roof. And for the next week, this house is the only place you're going to see." Kurt sighed.
"I understand," he said sadly. He trudged upstairs to his room. Maybe putting Nair in Coach Sylvester's shampoo to get revenge for her tormenting Blaine over the whole Cheerios thing was a little extreme, but he was satisfied. He sent a text to Blaine saying that they would have to reschedule their date that was planned for that night, along with the other several dates that were planned for that week. But they had a whole summer of Kurt being home and Blaine preparing for NYADA ahead of them, so a few days of being apart wasn't the end of the world, or at least Kurt though. Hours passed and the sun set on the warm summer night. Kurt was already going crazy, wishing he could be laying in the back yard with Blaine under the stars. It was only 10:00 and Burt had already gone to bed, so Kurt decided to turn in himself. As he was changing into his pajamas, he heard a small noise at his window. He opened the curtain, thinking that it was just a bird, but there was a small, curly-haired figure standing in his driveway with a handful of pebbles. He smiled and opened his window. "Romeo, Romeo, where for art thou, Romeo?" Kurt recited. Blaine laughed. "My kingdom for a balcony right now," Kurt said, now laughing himself.
"I'm glad you remember all that Shakespeare," Blaine yelled up to him. Kurt gave him an alarmed look and shushed him. "I just had to see you," Blaine whispered sadly.
"Thanks for what you did. I wish I could serve your prison sentence for you," Blaine said.
"It's worth it," Kurt said, laughing. "You should get home. My dad is going to kill you if he finds you out here."
"Yeah. I love you," Blaine said sadly.
"I love you too. Text me when you get home," Kurt replied. They blew each other kisses and Kurt shut his window. He laid down in his bed and hugged a pillow to his body. Just seeing Blaine reaffirmed what he thought the whole time: being grounded a week was so worth Blaine's happiness.
