4 AM Conversations
Kurt really wasn't sure what time it was by the time he made his way back up to his room. He had spent the whole day with Sebastian, letting him show him around the school and the guy seemed impossible to get away from. He had made him eat lunch with him and also dinner too and Kurt was completely fed up with him. At the end of dinner Kurt had realized what Sebastian had been up too, he had purposely made it so Kurt hadn't run into Blaine throughout the whole day. And it had pissed him off and he had stormed out of the cafeteria without another word to him. He must know what Blaine's schedule on the weekends is...Kurt growled as he reached his and Blaine's room.
Kurt calmed his breathing and then unlocked the door. He couldn't help the smile that came onto his face as he took in the site of the curly haired boy. He was one again sitting on the window seat reading. "Hi, there..." Kurt crossed the room and sat down on his bed.
Blaine looked up from his book; Kurt looked slightly pissed off and tired, despite the smile that he was giving Blaine. "Didn't have a good day?"
"God I could kill him!" Kurt smiled when Blaine let out a small chuckle. "He was horrid today, I literally think he showed me the whole school today and I think he did it on purpose..."
Blaine tilted his head at Kurt. "Why do you think that?"
"Because I didn't see you at all today and I think he made it so I wouldn't." Kurt stated with another frown on his face.
Blaine blushed slightly at the thought of Kurt being mad that he didn't see Blaine throughout the day, but quickly had to smile it was sweet. "Sounds like something Sebastian would do."
"He makes me want to pull my hair out!" Kurt ran his long fingers through his hair.
"That wouldn't be good..." Blaine liked Kurt's hair.
"No it wouldn't." Kurt agreed with Blaine. Kurt slowly took in what Blaine was wearing. He had on pair of silky white pajama bottoms and a light blue tank top, which showed off his body and he had bare feet again. Kurt had noticed he didn't seem to like wearing socks. "Did you already take a shower?" Kurt figured he had since he was already dressed for bed and his curls were free of the gel prison that held them during the day. Blaine nodded his head at him. "What did you do today?"
Blaine held up his book. "Read this and did the summaries for the chapters...I'm almost done though." Blaine grinned at Kurt. "I pretty much stay up here on the weekends, unless we have stuff to do with the Warbler's."
"Well I would have gladly stayed in here with you all day if I could have." Kurt was still mad at Sebastian. "I'm gonna grab a quick shower before bed." Kurt smiled again and spun on his heels and headed for the bathroom...
Kurt awoke with a start, his eyes flying open as he tried to take in his surroundings and the noises of the room. It was almost completely dark except for the bright moon light that shown in through the navy blue curtains. The room was cast in a weird color. He shook his head and focused on the noise. He heard it again it was what had woken him up. He slowly sat up and looked over to where the sound was coming from and saw that Blaine was moving and thrashing around on his bed, he sounded like he was in pain. Kurt flicked the light on and really took in Blaine's figure, he was completely uncovered now, and the blankets had been kicked to the floor. Kurt's was wide-eyed as he looked at Blaine. He looked like he was trying to fight someone off and he was mumbling something but Kurt couldn't make out what it was. Kurt got to his feet and bolted across the room to Blaine's bed. He didn't know if he should touch him or not.
"Blaine," Kurt shook the bed a little. He was hoping it would wake him up. Kurt watched Blaine he seemed to slow in his movements and then he cried out loudly, tears started pouring down his face and it was then that Kurt knew he had to wake him up. "Blaine, wake up..." He took a hold of Blaine's shoulders and shook him gently he didn't want to scare him too badly. His skin was clammy to the touch. "Blaine..."
Blaine's eyes were wide and terrified when they flew open and locked onto Kurt's face. He was breathing heavy and the tears were still rolling down his cheeks. He quickly slid up so he was leaning against the head board. He closed his eyes trying to get his breathing under control. He knew Kurt was still watching him. "I'm sorry I woke you up." Blaine breathed wiping the tears from his eyes.
"Are you okay?" Kurt hadn't seen someone have a nightmare like that before. Kurt frowned and then sat down on the end of the bed when Blaine didn't answer him. All he really wanted to do was pull Blaine into his arms and comfort him but he didn't think Blaine would allow that. "Blaine...are you okay?" Kurt whispered this time, hoping that Blaine would look at him.
Blaine nodded his head and then let out a shaky breath finally looking at Kurt again. "I'm just embarrassed that I woke you up..."
Kurt shook his head, "You have nothing to be embarrassed about you can't control bad dreams." Kurt uttered softly.
"Okay, I'm still sorry though..." Blaine sighed and looked into Kurt's eyes, they were so pretty.
Kurt let out a sigh of his own. "I know you are, but you don't have to be." Kurt stood back up and grabbed Blaine's blankets and laid them back on the bed where they were supposed to be. "I'm here if you want to talk about it..."
Blaine smiled but his lips were still trembling slightly. Blaine glanced at the clock it was four in the morning. He was surprised Kurt wasn't in a bad mood for being woken up this early. He couldn't help the shaky laugh that escaped his lips.
Kurt raised an eyebrow, "What's that laugh for?"
"Oh I was just thinking about yesterday morning you were really mad about being woken up at six, well it's only four this morning..." Blaine shrugged looking guilty.
Kurt shook his head, "You had no control over it so I'd be kind of a dick if I was mad at you for it wouldn't I?" Kurt couldn't help it he reached out a hand and placed it on Blaine's leg. He hadn't really realized he had done it until he felt Blaine jerk his leg in surprise. "I'm so sorry...when I comfort people I touch...I'm sorry..." Kurt had pulled his hand away and was now sitting on them so he wouldn't feel the urge to touch him again.
"I'm okay..." Blaine mumbled. "You have a gentle touch." Blaine felt his eyes widen, he was surprised he said that out loud.
Kurt chewed on his lip, trying to decide what he wanted to say before he said anything. "I would never hurt you Blaine."
Blaine nodded his agreement, he knew Kurt wouldn't hurt him, he knew he didn't know Kurt that long but he knew that for sure.
"Do you want to talk until you calm down enough to go back to sleep?" Kurt suggested.
Blaine shrugged. "I don't want to keep you awake. It may take awhile before I can get back to sleep."
"I don't mind, if you need someone to talk to I'm here for you, no matter what time of day it is." Kurt gave him another smile and then stood up he was going to go back over to his bed so he could lie down and get comfy.
Blaine didn't know why he did it but he reached out and grabbed Kurt's hand. "Thank -you..."
Kurt was surprised by the touch this was the first time Blaine had made any attempt to touch him. His hand was tingling. "What are you thanking me for?"
"For waking me up..." Blaine let go of Kurt's hand.
"There's no need to thank me, I wasn't going to let you suffer." Kurt said in a matter of fact tone.
Blaine nodded at him again and slid down in the bed farther. "You can tell me about you if you want."
Kurt smiled and climbed into his bed lying so he was facing Blaine. "What would you like to know?"
"Anything you're willing to share."
Kurt smiled again, "Let's see I was born and raised in Lima, Ohio. My parents are Burt Hummel and Elizabeth Hummel..." Kurt paused here and took a deep breath. "She died when I was eight..." Kurt closed his eyes but then smiled. "I still miss her but I'm not as sad about it anymore. For a long time it was just me and my dad, we used to fight a lot because we didn't have anything in common. When I came out to him the beginning of my sophomore year, we kind of turned a corner and became closer..." Kurt paused again and looked over at Blaine, he was watching him intently. "You sure I'm not boring you?" Blaine shook his head and Kurt smiled as his curls bounced. "Okay well this is where my story gets a little funny. In my sophomore year I was crushing on a guy that is now my step-brother..."
Blaine couldn't help the giggle. "Really..."
Kurt hid his face in shame but laughed too. "Yes, really...but it's all just amusing to me now." Kurt looked up at Blaine and he was smiling at him and it was a genuine smile. "So his mom and my dad are now married and we are a happy family."
"So your home life was good, but not your school life?" Blaine was curious he hoped that Kurt wouldn't get mad at him for inquiring more about what Kurt had told him earlier.
"No, after everything happened at school with the boy I was seeing, I became even more unpopular than I was before, the jocks started picking on me more and the boys older brother he was a senior, he started threatening me and shoving me into lockers and saying that if I ever looked at his brother again he would kill me..."
"Oh my god, Kurt that's horrible..." Blaine could sympathize.
"Yeah it was, so my best friends Rachel and Mercedes, we were looking up the Warbler's because Rachel wanted to know who her competition was. So when we found you guys we looked into the school and found the no bullying policy and it was decided." Kurt was watching Blaine as he talked, he seemed to enjoy listening to him, this made Kurt smile.
Blaine smiled back at Kurt, "Well I'm glad you came here, no one deserves to feel unsafe at school."
"Blaine, do you feel unsafe here?" Kurt couldn't help it.
Blaine shook his head. "No..."
"You just feel nervous around guys..." Blaine nodded at this. "Are there any guys you don't feel nervous around?" Kurt was curious.
"Wes, David, Nick, Jeff...and..." Blaine blushed and hid his face.
"And who?" Kurt had to ask although he thought he knew who Blaine was going to say.
"You..." Blaine said from behind his blankets.
"I'm happy about that!" Kurt was actually giddy with the fact that Blaine felt safe around him. Blaine peeked up out of the blankets at him and Kurt gave him a big smile, he was still blushing though Kurt could see the pinkness in his cheeks. "Is that weird that I'm happy about it?"
"No, it's not weird..." Blaine liked that Kurt seemed happy about it. Blaine knew that he and Kurt could be friends. "I'm happy that you're happy about it..." Blaine let out a small chuckle.
Kurt beamed at him. "That makes me happy too..." Kurt knew he was smiling stupidly at Blaine but he couldn't help it. It felt good to know that he could get close to him in some way; maybe it would lead to more. Kurt watched as Blaine yawned. "Are you ready to go back to sleep now?"
Blaine nodded as he let out another yawn. Kurt smiled at him and then reached up for the light. "Thank-you again Kurt..."
"You're very welcome Blaine." Kurt smiled. "Goodnight."
"Night..." Blaine smiled back at him and then sighed when the room was cast into darkness again. He fell asleep thinking about Kurt with a smile on his face...
Blaine wasn't sure what time it was when he opened it his eyes to the sound of a phone ringing. It wasn't his ringtone so it must be Kurt's phone. He heard Kurt growl and then hit something. Blaine rolled onto his side so he was looking at Kurt. He was leaned over the bed, obviously reaching for the phone he had just thrown on the floor. He knew Kurt wouldn't be happy with whoever was calling him. Blaine watched Kurt as he picked up the phone and answered it saying a grumble of a hello to the other end. Blaine watched Kurt as he conversed with the person on the other end of the phone. He had a frown on his face.
"From now on call me when you know I'll be awake..." Kurt grumbled. "Yeah, okay...I'll see you later..." Kurt wasn't in a mood for niceties, he had been woken up from a really good dream and was pissed that he hadn't been able to finish that dream. He hung up the phone and sat it on the nightstand. "Hi there..." He said to Blaine when he realized he was watching him. "Sorry about that, my friends don't care what time it is when they bother me..."
"You really aren't a morning person are you?" Blaine asked with a smile he thought it was cute when Kurt was grumpy; the faces he would make were adorable.
Kurt opened and closed his mouth for a few minutes. He loved the tone of Blaine's voice right now it was low and gravelly, he wondered if he always sounded this way in the morning. "Not on weekends I'm not..." Kurt smiled back at him though. "If I know I have to be up, say for school or whatnot I'm not grumpy, but on weekends, days that I like to have for myself, I only like waking up when I want to wake up." Kurt was watching Blaine he had the blankets pulled up around him so all he could see was his head. "You always just look sleepy, never grumpy..."
"I'm never fully awake until I get coffee in me, but no I'm not grumpy..." Blaine chuckled.
"Now coffee sounds like a good idea would you like to go out for coffee this morning?" Kurt had told his friend Rachel Berry that he would meet her in a couple hours.
"Sure..." Blaine smiled at him. "Where did you want to go?"
Kurt suddenly felt less grumpy as he looked at Blaine's beautiful smile. "The Lima Bean...my friend Rachel wants to see me so I said I would meet her there."
"I like the coffee there." Blaine sat up and stretched. He pushed the blankets off and stood up stretching again.
Kurt couldn't help but stare at Blaine, his silk pajama pants looked really good on him. Kurt let out a quiet groan, he was really going to have a hard time controlling his hormones around Blaine when he looked so good all the time. Kurt he is not ready for a relationship like that... He told himself with a sigh and then climbed out of bed to do his morning routine. Kurt put on all his lotion and then got dressed putting on a tight fitted black quarter length sleeve shirt and a white vest and a pair of super skinny white jeans with a brown leather anchor belt. He wrapped a silver chain scarf around his neck and then checked himself in the mirror he thought he looked good. He finished styling his hair giving it one more shot of hairspray for good measure and then he opened the bathroom door.
He smiled at Blaine, he was sitting on the bed hugging his knees but when he saw Kurt he got to his feet, which were still bare. Kurt was surprised Blaine had already gotten dressed he was wearing a white striped tight fitted short sleeve crewneck tee, and a pair of dark wash skinny jeans, with a navy blue and white striped belt. His clothes always fit his body just right. Kurt walked across the room and then sat down on the bed and laced up his black leather Dr. Martens boots with a sigh. "You look really good!" Kurt dared to say, he wasn't sure if Blaine would like a compliment like that or not.
Blaine gave him a smile, "Thanks..." He blushed slightly when Kurt smiled back and then he slipped into the bathroom. He really needed to use the bathroom but hadn't wanted to disturb Kurt, when he was done he washed his hands and then got to fixing his hair. He hurried as much as he could because he didn't want to keep Kurt waiting. He opened the door and found Kurt with a smile on his face and his legs crossed elegantly. Blaine smiled back and opened his dresser draw to find a pair of socks.
"Wow, you are actually going to wear socks..." Kurt teased.
Blaine wrinkled his nose up at him and then sat down on the bed. "I do wear socks just not all the time..." Blaine told him as he put them on. He slipped on his navy blue leather Mesquite boat boots and then stood back up.
"Are you ready to go?" Kurt asked as he grabbed a light gray sweater. Blaine nodded and grabbed his black lamb's wool double-breasted cardigan and shrugged it on. Kurt led the way out to the parking lot where he left his black Lincoln Navigator on Friday night when he had gotten here.
"Wow that's your car?" Blaine asked as they stopped beside it.
"I love my car..." Kurt said with a proud smile on his face. He opened the passenger side door for Blaine and then jogged around to the driver's side and hopped in. Kurt was glad Blaine had agreed to come with him today and that neither of them had to deal with Sebastian...
