Party Crashers
Kurt glanced around the as he and Blaine walked to the bar to get another soda. Kurt also wanted to get some food in him and Blaine he didn't wanted them to end up getting completely drunk if Puck offered them more shots. This time Kurt looked at the people tending the bar. Two of them were guys in their mid twenties at least, he didn't think either of them looked like they could be Jeremiah, and he let out the breath he didn't realize he was holding. The third person was a pretty girl dressed as a fairytale princess, Kurt thought the outfit looked similar to Snow White, so he figured that was who she was going for. When she noticed Kurt and Blaine she gave them a warm smile and Kurt felt a little more at ease. "Hey baby, I wanted to talk to you about something." Kurt leaned in close to Blaine's ear so Blaine could hear him without him having to yell. The music was really loud.
"What about...?" Blaine ran his hand down arm and over the claws on the gloves. He didn't know why but for some reason he felt really nervous that Kurt said he wanted to talk to him about something and really hoped it wasn't one of the million reasons that Blaine had running through his head right now.
"I don't want to freak you out of anything but I think Jeremiah is here." Kurt took a hold of Blaine's hand when it stilled on his fingers.
That was definitely not what I thought you were going to say... Blaine glanced around at the people near them. "Why do you think that?" Blaine felt his heart pick up as his eyes scanned the room.
"Because I got a text that I didn't know who the number was, but the things that were said in it just make me think that it's him." Kurt looked at Blaine his eyes were slightly wide and he was now staring at Kurt. "I'm not going to show or tell you what it said though...but I just wanted you to know that I think he is here."
Blaine stepped closer to Kurt, gripping his hand tighter. He suddenly wished that they were still surrounded by Kurt's friends, a lot of them were guys and he didn't think they would let someone they didn't know near him or Kurt. "Where are all your friends?" Blaine asked.
Kurt looked around he say Sam, Finn, Puck and Mike all dancing in a group with the girls, Tina, Quinn, Santana and Brittany. Kurt didn't know where Rachel and Mercedes were, he assumed probably with Artie. "Most of them are right there..." Kurt pointed to the group just a few feet away from them. Blaine nodded at him but just clung to Kurt tighter. He knew Blaine was freaking out, but was actually doing a really good job not showing how freaked out he probably was.
Kurt was about to grab two more cans of soda when he heard Blaine let out a squeak of surprise. Kurt spun around and noticed someone with their arms wrapped around Blaine's shoulders hugging him from behind. Blaine was slightly trashing his upper body trying to get away from the arms. Kurt was ready to use his fake claws on the arms that were exposed in front of Blaine's chest, when he realized who it was. Most of the shaggy black hair was covered with a red and white bandana and a large black pirate's hat. "Nick what are you doing here?" Blaine seemed to relax as soon as Kurt said Nick's name.
Nick released Blaine from his arms and gave Blaine a weary look. "I didn't mean to scare you..." Nick gave Blaine an apologetic smile. He turned his attention to Kurt after Blaine gave him a small smile. "Crashing the party, what else?" Nick let out a chuckle. "We heard about the party on Twitter, thought it sounded better than the parties going on in Westerville..." Nick shrugged his shoulders but then smiled at Kurt again.
"Who's here?" Blaine asked looking around to see if he could spot anymore of the Warbler's. He wondered if this is how Jeremiah heard about the party too.
"Jeff, Trent, Thad, David, Wes and Sebastian..." Nick wasn't sure how Kurt would like hearing Sebastian was here.
"Where are they?" Kurt asked. He too now was glancing around the room. He spotted Jeff coming towards them. He was dressed as Peter Pan and looked really good. "Hey, party crasher..." Kurt smiled at Jeff when he put a fake pout on his face. But then he quickly smiled. Kurt wasn't going to let his bad mood that he felt towards Jeremiah effect how he acted with his friends.
"Nice costumes!" Jeff liked both Kurt's and Blaine's outfits. They looked really good. "Hatter and Cheshire are awesome characters."
"You make a good Peter, so you must be Hook?" Blaine smiled at his friends. "I was so hoping one of you would dress up as a girl!" Blaine smirked at Jeff. He was trying to joke around with his friends like he used too and hoped that it was working and wouldn't seemed as forced as it felt.
Jeff gave Blaine a huge smile. "I was thinking of making Nick be Peter and I was going to be Tinkerbell, it would have been funny...but we decided on Hook and Peter." Jeff shrugged his shoulders when he was done talking.
"Well these costumes are good too." Blaine gave Jeff a reassuring pat on the shoulder.
"Thanks, you look good as the Mad Hatter!"
"Thanks, Kurt made the costume..." Blaine smiled when Kurt wrapped his arm around his waist pulling him to him.
"Blaine painted my face for me...thought I would put his artistic skills to use." Kurt squeezed Blaine's side. "Speaking of artistic skills, you still have to show me the painting you were working on." Kurt told Blaine.
"Yep, as soon as the teacher gives it back to me." Blaine smiled and leaned against Kurt's side more.
They were soon joined by Wes and David they were both dressed as pirates too. Wes pulled Blaine into a hug and then Blaine was pulled into David's arms after Wes let him go. Kurt watched closely as they hugged Blaine, he didn't seem to mind them touching him. He thought that was because Blaine knew they weren't interested in him anyway except as friends. After all Wes and David were both straight and had girlfriends. "Did you two bring dates?" Kurt wondered if they brought their girlfriends or if it was just a guy's night.
"No they were both busy..." David chuckled and let go of Blaine.
They fell into comfortable conversation and got drinks and food. Kurt had grabbed a bowl of pretzels and handed Blaine a diet Coke. Kurt was just about to suggest that they go back over to the couches when someone spoke stopping him from voicing it.
"Kurt wow you look great!" Trent beamed at Kurt then glanced at Blaine as a deep pink blush covered his cheeks.
"Thanks and Yes, Blaine looks sexy!" Kurt smirked when Trent blushed deeper. Kurt looked at Blaine he was looking back at Kurt and had a light pink blush on his cheeks. "You look great too Trent!"
"Thanks we are all pirates if you couldn't tell..." Trent beamed at him again.
"Nope couldn't tell at all..." Kurt teased. Kurt smiled at Blaine who nudged him with his arm. Kurt wrapped his arm back around Blaine's waist and pulled him close to his side. "Let's go have a seat..." Kurt suggested and led the way. They all walked back over to the couches and sat down. "So where's Sebastian?" Kurt wanted to know, he wanted to make sure that Sebastian wasn't the one sending him those text messages even though he was pretty sure they were from Jeremiah.
"He and Thad are out on the dance floor somewhere..." David said as he plopped down on the couch next to Blaine.
Sebastian led the way to the bar, pulling Thad off the dance floor by his arm, he wanted to get drunk. Thad was telling him it probably wasn't a smart choice to get drunk around people that they didn't know but Sebastian didn't really care what Thad had to say right now. Sebastian ordered his drink and sat down on one of the stools, and slipped the bandana off his head. He wasn't too thrilled that they were all pirates, Wes had come up with the idea, claiming the whole unity of the Warbler's mumbo jumbo...Sebastian could have strangled Wes. After all not all the Warbler's were here so why couldn't they have dressed up as whatever they wanted. When his drink was placed in front of him he picked it up and sipped some of the clear liquid into his mouth. It burned as it went down, but he liked that feeling.
"Hey the guys are over there..." Thad said from the stool beside him.
"Great let's go join them..." Sebastian turned his head and looked at where the guys were all sitting. They were with Blaine; even though he was dressed up Sebastian would always know him when he saw him. He looked incredibly sexy tonight, although Sebastian thought that most days, but he really did look good out of his Dalton uniform. He glanced at the person sitting beside Blaine, dressed as a purple and pink cat, it was Kurt there was no mistaking the way Kurt sat, his long legs crossed and he had Blaine leaning against his side. Sebastian felt the anger flare in him at the site. He couldn't figure out why Blaine would let Kurt of all the guys get close to him like that, Sebastian knew he had to figure out what Jeremiah had done to Blaine.
He slid off the stool and made his way over to the couches where all the guys were sitting, drink clenched in his hand. Thad was following close behind him. "Thad stop checking out my ass!" Sebastian said as they reached the guys. They all looked up at him.
"I can't help it your ass looks good in those pants..." Thad shrugged with a smirk at Sebastian and then sat down beside Trent.
"Well you are getting nowhere near my ass so just forget it..." Sebastian sat down beside Nick. "Hi, Blaine, you look great...Kurt..." Sebastian sipped from the glass and then sat it down on the table.
Kurt shook his head, it was clear that Sebastian despised him as much as he did Sebastian. "Can I talk to you?" Kurt asked him. Kurt released Blaine from his arms and turned to David. "Please don't leave Blaine alone." David nodded at Kurt. "Sebastian..." Kurt stood up and made a face at Sebastian when it looked like he was going to try to ignore him. He watched Sebastian roll his eyes and then stand up, his glass in his hand again.
"What do you want to talk to me about?" Sebastian tried to sound like he didn't care at all.
Kurt led the way towards the bar where there was an empty table and not many people around. Kurt sat down at rose an eyebrow at Sebastian, who rolled his eyes again and sat down too. "Listen, Blaine has told me what happened to him..."
"What happened?" Sebastian leaned forward over the table some. He needed to know what happened to Blaine.
"I can't tell you..." Kurt shook his head. "Blaine doesn't want any of you guys to know." Kurt watched as Sebastian's eyes hardened again. "I'm not lying he doesn't want anyone to know." Kurt shook his head again. "But that's not why I wanted to talk to you." Kurt took out his cell phone. "This isn't your number is it?" Kurt showed the number in the cell phone to Sebastian but didn't let him read the message.
"Why would I, be texting you?" Sebastian had his eyebrows raised now.
"So it's not your number?" Kurt sighed when Sebastian just shook his head. "I believe that Jeremiah is the one texting me and if it his him that means he's here tonight..." Kurt stood back up. He didn't really have anything else to say to Sebastian. He did know that Sebastian hated Jeremiah too.
Sebastian stood back up too and watched Kurt for a few minutes before he said anything. "Is he after Blaine or something?"
Kurt just shrugged. "From the texts it seems like it, but he also might be doing it just to get to me...either way I'm not taking chances I'm not going to leave Blaine alone..." Kurt started back towards the group. He could hear Sebastian following behind him but neither one of them said anything to the other. Kurt sat back down on the couch beside Blaine and pulled him to him again. Kurt smiled when Blaine dropped his head back to Kurt's shoulder. "Baby, are you okay?"
"Mmm..." Blaine hummed nodding slowly and closing his eyes. He was feeling slightly tired. He shot his eyes back open when he heard loud talking people join their group of fairly quietness. Blaine pulled his feet up onto the couch pulling his knees to his chest as people pushed through between the table and couch taking up the remainder of the seats. He slid closer to Kurt when he felt someone's hip bump against his when they slid into the seat between him and David.
Kurt wrapped his arm tighter around Blaine's waist as he watched his friends fill up the last of the seats.
"Oh my goodness...are these guys Warbler's?" Rachel practically screeched.
"Yes they are Rach..." Kurt told his best friend in a calm voice. He really didn't want her flipping out.
"What are you guys doing here?" Rachel asked her voice still an octave higher than normal. "I mean we aren't singing tonight so you can't be here to spy on us..."
"We aren't here to spy..." David let out a loud laugh. "Not our style..."
"So why are you here then?" Rachel asked looking at the very good looking boy sitting next to her that had just responded to her. "You're cute!" She added as an afterthought not caring if Finn was sitting right there too.
"Rachel he has a boyfriend..." Kurt shook his head.
"We came because it seemed like a good party!" Thad said smiling at Rachel.
"So you drove almost two hours for a party?" Puckerman asked the boy smiling at Rachel.
"Yeah there were no good party happening in Westerville tonight and we were bored." Thad shrugged.
"You were going to introduce them to us right Kurt?" Mercedes asked.
"Yeah sure...This is Thad, Wes, David, Trent, Nick, Jeff, and Sebastian..." Kurt pointed to each of the guys in turn who all waved their hands at the New Directions. "Warbler's these are the New Directions...Rachel, Mercedes, Santana, Brittany, Quinn, Puck, Tina, Mike, Finn, Sam, and Artie..." Kurt smiled at Blaine as he watched everyone around them.
They all fell into conversations about random things. Blaine rested his head back on Kurt's shoulder still hugging his knees to his chest. He was feeling more comfortable now that they were once again surrounded by people. Though he couldn't get over how tired he felt and he really wished that he and Kurt were home cuddling in bed. Blaine turned his body more towards Kurt, leaning his legs against Kurt. He smiled when Kurt wrapped his other arm around Blaine's legs holding him tight. It wasn't until someone said something to Kurt that Blaine opened his eyes.
"Maybe you should take him home Kurt..." Mercedes said leaning around Kurt so she was looking at Blaine.
"Yeah dude he looks wiped and you only had two shots back awhile ago you should be fine to drive." Puck said to Kurt.
Kurt looked down at Blaine. "Do you want to go home baby?"
Blaine bit his bottom lip. "I don't want to take you away from your friends...I'm fine I promise." Blaine lowered his head back down on Kurt's shoulder. Blaine let out a groan when he felt Kurt push his legs so his feet were now on the floor again and then Kurt got to his feet making Blaine lift his head back up. "Where are you going?" Blaine asked.
Kurt was looking down at his very pouty boyfriend. "I am taking you home..." Kurt laughed when Blaine scrunched his face up at him. "I think maybe you and alcohol don't mix...you only had two shots but you seem kind of out of it." Kurt pulled Blaine to his feet and then picked up the black top hat. Kurt watched as Rachel stood up so she was standing beside Blaine.
"Can I give you a hug?" Rachel asked Blaine holding out her arms too him.
"Sure..." Blaine stepped into Rachel's arms and she squeezed him. "Thanks Rachel..." Blaine stepped back but stumbled slightly.
Kurt took a hold of Blaine's elbows to make sure he wasn't going to fall down. He pulled Blaine to his side again and then outstretched his arm for Rachel. She hugged him and then patted Blaine on top of the head. Kurt shook his head and then started saying his goodbyes to his friends. Blaine was in the processes of saying goodbye to the entire Warbler's. Kurt watched as Sebastian stood up placing his now empty cup down on the table. "What are you doing?" Kurt wasn't sure what to think of Sebastian standing up.
"I think I'll walk you guys out!" Sebastian gave Kurt a pointed look and started to make his way around the edge of the dance floor, stopping halfway between the couches and the exit door. He was glancing around the dance floor and people looming around the door.
It donned on Kurt what Sebastian was doing. He's looking around for Jeremiah, he doesn't want Jeremiah to get near Blaine... Kurt let out a sigh and tugged on Blaine's side to get him to start walking. Kurt had to smile when Blaine looked back at everyone and gave them all a small wave as a farewell gesture. "Are you okay baby, you still seem out of it?" Kurt didn't think he was really drunk but he did seem really tired.
"Mmm, ‘m okay..." Blaine murmured and then dropped his head back on Kurt's shoulder as they walked, their hips pressed together.
"What did he drink?" Sebastian asked when Kurt and Blaine finally stepped up beside him.
"I think it was just vodka, two shots..." Kurt started running his hand up and down Blaine's side.
"I'm just tired..." Blaine mumbled to Kurt and Sebastian.
"I know, I'll get you back home where you can sleep..." Kurt told Blaine, he was so cute when he was tired. Kurt let Sebastian take the lead as they walked out into the cool night air. The door closed behind them draining out the music so all that could be heard was the bass. Even though Kurt outfit had fake fur on it, the thin fabric of the rest of the outfit didn't shield him well from to cool air as they walked across the parking lot.
"So where are you parked?" Sebastian asked looking back at Kurt and Blaine. Blaine was still leaning on Kurt, and looked so adorable. Sebastian felt the jealously rip at his heart again and he turned his attention back to the cars in front of him. He was glad Blaine seemed happy but he hated that it was with Kurt.
"Right over there..." Kurt pointed to his black Lincoln Navigator. Kurt hit the button on his key chain and the car beeped as the alarm shut off and the doors unlocked. Kurt walked Blaine around to the passenger side door and opened it for him, helping him climb in. He shut the door and walked back around to the driver's side where Sebastian was standing, his arms folded across his chest. "Thanks for walking us out..."
"I didn't do it for you!" Sebastian growled he couldn't help it when his bitchy side showed; Kurt seemed to bring out the worst in him.
"I know you didn't but I still thank you!" Kurt shook his head and opened his door.
Sebastian let out a huff of air and stepped closer to the now open door, Blaine was leaning his head back on the seat, his curls where hanging on his forehead, and he looked half asleep already. "Bye Blaine, see back at school..." Sebastian gave Blaine a smile when Blaine raised his hand and waved at him. Sebastian looked at Kurt and then turned on his heels and headed back towards the noise of the party. "Bye..." He called over his shoulder.
Kurt shook his head. "Bye..." He climbed in the car and shut his door. He glanced over at Blaine as he put the key in the ignition switch and turned the key. Blaine had his eyes open now but they still looked really sleepy and Kurt couldn't help but smile at him.
Blaine smiled at Kurt too. Kurt's cat teeth were showing, sure he looked cute as a cat but Blaine was really looking forward to seeing Kurt's hair, eyes, lips, skin again and not just purple and pink stripes, and those yellow eyes. He watched Kurt adjust the heat control nod and then mess with the stereo. Secrets by OneRepublic filled the previously silent car. Blaine started to bob his head and tap his feet along with the music.
"Do you like OneRepublic?" Kurt asked when he saw that Blaine was moving along with the music.
"Yes they are good..." Blaine told him and then belted out the chorus.
Tell me what you want to hear
Something that will light those ears
Sick of all the insincere
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away...
Blaine stopped singing after the chorus was over and smiled over at Kurt. Kurt smiled back and then pulled the car out of the parking spot. He was glad they were going back to Kurt's; Blaine just wanted to cuddle and sleep in Kurt arms. "I'm sorry if you really didn't want to leave yet." Blaine mumbled as he watched Kurt's face.
Kurt shook his head slightly and then cracked a smile. "You know you apologize too much!" Kurt let out a chuckle when he glanced at Blaine who made a funny face at him. "You don't have to apologize for being tired, it's not like you can control that..." Kurt reached over and took Blaine's hand in his.
Blaine just nodded at Kurt and tried to watch the scenery outside the window as it passed but it was too dark to see anything clearly and it all seemed to be just blurs. "Thanks for not being mad about leaving..." Blaine squeezed Kurt's hand.
"Well it would be pretty stupid to get mad about something like that wouldn't it?" Kurt squeezed his hand back. "Alcohol seems to make you sleepy though." Kurt started rubbing his thumb over Blaine's knuckles; he had taken the gloves off so he wouldn't stab himself or Blaine with the claws. Blaine just nodded at him and tipped his head back so it was resting on the seat again. "We will be there soon..."
Comments
Thank you! Another great chapter! The Warblers and The New Directions mingling!! I have to say I read this one with baited breath...I was so sure Jeremiah was going to surface in a bad way! Glad he hasn't so far! Till the next one!!!! Thanks!
You are welcome! I'm glad you liked it. Yes I liked them mingling =) I was seriously debating the whole Jeremiah showing up but I thought well hey it will be harder on Kurt if he just keeps getting those messages from him...I didn't really see making Jeremiah show himself to them was a good idea at that point. The next ones will be coming end of the week! =) Thanks again for the read and review it means a lot.
