The Bells of New York City
Chapter 5
Kurt, Jeff and the Anderson-Berrys had been back in Ohio for no less than 15 minutes before Finn, who was supposed to be picking Kurt up, arrived and went straight to Rachel's room with her. Jeff and long since left, his parents had picked him up at the airport—at least, they sent a car to pick him up. When he saw the look on Jeff's face at this development he felt as though he'd gotten a glimpse into why Jeff spent so many school breaks at Blaine's house.
At the sound of Rachel's bedroom door slamming, Blaine and Kurt shot each other a discussed look.
"Looks like they are going to be up there a while. Wanna watch a movie or something?"
Kurt ordered his heart to stop hammering in his chest, certain that Blaine could hear it,
"Sure," he said, his voice a little higher than he would have liked, "but I get to pick."
"Deal," said Blaine with a grin that caused Kurt's breath to stutter.
After a bit of debate he ended up settling on West Side Story. They had both seen it a hundred times and the fight had been exhausting so about 40 minutes in Blaine gave up on sitting altogether and stretched out on the couch, leaning against Kurt's side. Once the initial shock wore off Kurt was surprised how natural it was to sit like this with Blaine and soon he had slipped his arm around Blaine's shoulders. This move had only a little to do with the fact that the other boy's weight was causing his arm to go numb and a lot to do with the fact that he really just wanted to put his arms around Blaine. Just as Maria's brother was slain, Kurt drifted off to sleep as well.
Blaine awoke to find himself in a surprising but not unwelcome predicament. At some point during the movie both he and Kurt had fallen asleep and he was now laying half on top of Kurt with his head on his chest and his leg thrown over both of the taller boy's. He didn't really feel inclined to get up so he settled closer to Kurt instead, a little surprised when Kurt's arm tightened around him. Soon he drifted back to sleep.
"Dude, we got to go. Burt's freaking out." Kurt heard his brother say. He sat up, or tried to, it proved a bit difficult to untangle himself from Blaine. In the end he had to wake the other boy up and with much blushing and a bit of giggling from both of them he managed to get free.
"Well I guess I'll see you later, Kurt," Blaine said, looking more at his feet than at Kurt.
"Yeah," Kurt replied with a distracted air, "See you later."
In the car Finn gave his stepbrother a sidelong look. "What was that about?" he asked.
"what was what about?" said Kurt innocently, looking straight ahead.
"You know—" said Finn, waving a hand in the air. "Back there. you and Blaine. The cuddling."
"we were not 'cuddling' we fell asleep." Kurt said, a little uncomfortable with this topic of conversation.
"Oh, okay." Finn conceded. "But, Kurt?" Finn risked a glance at him this time.
"yeah?" he asked
"Just be careful." Said Finn. By then they had pulled up in the driveway and Kurt was saved from farther comment but he noticed that Finn kept shoulder to shoulder with him as they walked in the house.
