Laundry Room Discoveries
Blaine and Kurt walked into their room followed by Jeff, who was busy eating brownies, making a whole lot more noise than Kurt thought was needed. Kurt couldn't help but smile at him though, he thought Jeff was acting like Finn right now and was starting to wonder if Jeff was going to give the brownies back without a fight.
"Your mom makes really good brownies..." Jeff declared as he snapped the cover back onto the dish and handed it back to Kurt.
"Thanks, I'll be sure to tell her you said so..." Kurt chuckled. In the past he would usually correct people if they called Carole his mom, and would tell them that she was his stepmom but now he was getting comfortable calling her mom.
"So did you guys have fun this weekend?" Jeff asked with a huge smile on his face.
"For the most part yes..." Kurt couldn't help but frown when he thought about Jeremiah showing up at his house, and his uncle Evan making all those comments about Blaine.
"What happened?" Jeff asked he too had a frown on his face.
"Jeremiah showed up at my house looking for Blaine and we had a little bit of problem with my uncle..." Kurt looked over at Blaine who was busy putting his dirty clothes from his bag into his laundry basket, to join the rest of his dirty clothes. Kurt just remembered that they had to do laundry and let out a sigh. "How late is the laundry room open?"
"All night..." Jeff told him.
"Good, we both need to do laundry..."
"What happened with Jeremiah?" Jeff asked looking from Kurt to Blaine and then back to Kurt.
Kurt began telling Jeff about what happened between him and Jeremiah, without revealing what had happened to Blaine at the hands of that monster that pretended to be human. Kurt watched Blaine as he was talking; he was still busying himself with emptying his clothes from his bag and putting them into his basket, readying them to go to the laundry, the way he was moving Kurt knew he was tense.
"He's an ass; I don't know why he's hanging around school again..." Jeff threw his hands up in the air, clearly frustrated.
Kurt knew why Jeremiah was sticking around but knew he couldn't tell Jeff and he knew he didn't want to say it out loud either. Kurt just shook his head and then sat his bag onto his bed. He got busy putting his dirty clothes into his hamper as he listened to Jeff talk to Blaine about Wes... "Wes is going to have a heart attack if he doesn't take a chill pill soon..." Kurt added after Jeff had stopped talking. Kurt smiled when Blaine chuckled.
"This is true..." Jeff chuckled along with Blaine. "God forbid if anything should ever happen to his gavel..." Jeff put a smirk on his face. "I think he would marry it if he could!"
Kurt laughed at this, he too was thinking it. He had never met someone so in love with an inanimate object before. Kurt sat down on his bed listening to Jeff and Blaine talk for a time before he glanced at the clock on his bedside table. It was getting later than Kurt liked and they would probably be spending more than an hour doing laundry which meant he would have to wait longer to cuddle with Blaine. Kurt let out a sigh and looked over at Blaine. Blaine was now looking at him, he must have been sensing the time just as Kurt had because he stood up and took a hold of his basket.
The three boys left the dorm room and headed to the laundry room. As they made their way down the mostly empty halls, Kurt wondered if Nick was still in doing his laundry. As the three of them got to the corridor where the laundry room was located Kurt started to watch Blaine, he looked like he was on edge. Kurt took a few steps and caught up to Blaine so he was walking right beside him. "Are you okay?" Blaine just nodded at him, but Kurt noticed that his grip on his hamper was causing his knuckles to turn white. They turned the last corner before the door to the laundry room and Kurt was glad there were only a few students in this part of the hallway too, they too were carrying laundry baskets, but they were heading away from the laundry room and as they passed Kurt got a whiff of clean clothes and was glad that it hadn't been dirty clothes.
Jeff pushed open the door and lead the way into the small and very hot room, on one wall was a line of dryers, with shelves and a few sinks and on the back wall was the line of washing machines. This was the first time Kurt had been in this room and he wasn't surprised when he saw that the washers and dryers were of top quality. Kurt glanced around the room and there standing by one of the driers was none other than Nick. Kurt laughed as he watched Jeff practically bound across the room and wrap his arms around Nick from behind causing the shorter boy to let out a small yelp of surprise.
"What are you doing down here, I thought you were going to go bug Blaine?" Nick asked as he turned around to face Jeff.
"Blaine is right there..." Jeff pointed back over his shoulder to where he knew Blaine was standing.
Nick turned his attention to where Jeff was pointing and to where Blaine was standing and smiled at Blaine. "Did you have a good time at Kurt's?" He asked Blaine as he detangled himself from his boyfriend's arms.
"Yes I did, His family is awesome..." Blaine walked over to the tables that were in the middle of the room and sat his hamper down on it.
"Oh his mom makes awesome brownies..." Jeff told Nick with a smile at Kurt.
Nick laughed at his boyfriend and then also smiled at Kurt. He then turned his attention back to Blaine. "So you've met the parents already?"
Blaine smiled back, "Mmmhmm, they seem to like me..." Blaine glanced over to Kurt who was smiling back at him and watched Kurt nod his head confirming what Blaine had said. Blaine knew that it was a big step in their relationship, him meeting Kurt's parents already and he was extremely glad that both Carole and Burt seemed to like him.
"That's good, though, but I don't think it would have mattered if they liked you or not..." Nick smiled at Kurt.
"What do you mean?" Blaine asked raising one eyebrow at Nick.
"I mean Kurt would still be with you even if his parents didn't like you..." Nick smiled at Blaine.
"That's true..." Kurt stepped up beside Blaine and took his hand in his own. "I'm just glad you're very likable..." Kurt laughed and then hugged Blaine.
Blaine turned his body more towards Kurt, so he could wrap his arms around Kurt better. He liked the thought that Kurt wouldn't leave him if his dad didn't like him. Blaine was just about to say something again when the door to the room opened causing him to jump.
Kurt tightened his arms around Blaine when he felt him jump. He glanced back at the opening door, in walked Sebastian follow by Thad. Kurt relaxed his hold on Blaine slightly, knowing that it was only Sebastian and Thad made him feel a little better.
"I swear Thad I'm going to kick your ass if you don't stop staring at mine..." Sebastian growled as he walked across the room and sat his laundry basket down on the table.
"It's really not my fault that you look so good in those jeans..." Thad had a big smirk on his face when Sebastian turned around to face him.
Sebastian folded his arms across his chest and frowned at Thad. "You say that about every pair of jeans I wear..."
"Well I can't help it if you have a nice ass..." Thad step closer to Sebastian, but when Sebastian unfolded his arms, he took a few steps backwards out of his reach. He knew that it bothered Sebastian that he stared at his ass but he was going to continue to do it anyways.
"Why don't you to just go get it on or something..." Jeff said not really wanting to listen to them argue. Sure Sebastian was good looking but he did not want to talk about his ass.
Sebastian turned so he was facing Jeff and Nick and scowled at Jeff. He was not going to go get it on with Thad. "He wishes..." Sebastian picked up his laundry basket and walked to the back wall to one of the washers. "So did you have a good weekend?"
Kurt wasn't sure who Sebastian was talking to so he thought it best that he ask. "Me?"
"No, the other princess standing beside the best looking guy at school..." Sebastian knew it wasn't nice to talk to Kurt that way but he couldn't help feel the dislike for him when he had the boy he wanted. Sebastian opened the lid to the washer and started adding his clothes.
Kurt shook his head, he was going to ignore the slights that came from Sebastian, it was the only way he was going to be able to be civil with him. "It was great for the most part..."
Sebastian added the laundry soap and fabric softener to the water and the closed the lid. He turned around and leaned back on the washer. "Why, what happened?"
Kurt knew that Sebastian only cared because it involved Blaine but hey he would take it. "Well Jeremiah showed up at my house...and my uncle..."
"How did he find out where you live?" Sebastian cut Kurt off before he could finish the rest of his sentence...he really didn't care to hear about Kurt's family.
Kurt shook his head again. "Rude..." Kurt watched Sebastian's face, he just rolled his eyes at him. "A kid I went to school with brought him to my house, Jeremiah said that he was friends with Blaine and wanted to see him but didn't get to this weekend..."
"What happened once he was at your house?" Sebastian locked his eyes on Blaine he was trying to see if he could see any signs of damage to Blaine. He knew that Jeremiah did something to Blaine last year; he just had no proof of it.
"Not much...I told him to leave or I would call the cops..." Kurt looked over at Blaine when he felt him squeeze his hand. He was obviously just reminding Kurt not to tell the guys what had happened to him last year. As much as Kurt wanted to tell them, he wasn't going to. Kurt watched as Blaine picked up his laundry basket and walked over to the washers, he chose the one right next to Sebastian, and started loading his clothes into it. "He left but was rather pissed when he did..." Kurt let out a sigh and picked up his own basket and came over so he was standing on the other side of Blaine.
"Why the hell is he suddenly becoming a stalker?" Nick asked as he sat down on the table.
"Because I'm trying my hardest to stay away from him..." Blaine let the lid to the washer drop and it made a loud clank noise. "And he doesn't like it..."
"None of you were friends with him besides Blaine?" Kurt realized he had never asked that question before. He wondered why Blaine was the only one or if Blaine was the only one that had been a victim of Jeremiah.
"Wes was the one that had the most contact with him..." Thad told them as he sat down on the table beside Nick.
"Yeah he didn't let many people into his circle..." Blaine told Kurt. Blaine couldn't help his body's reaction to talking about Jeremiah show, he shuddered. He usually did he best to not let things like this show when he was talking to others but after the day's happenings his body was clearly on edge. Blaine felt eyes on him, it was Sebastian, and he had one of his eyebrows quirked looking down at Blaine. He had obviously seen Blaine's shudder.
"You weren't the only one that had a crush on Jeremiah our freshman year..." Jeff mentioned. He wasn't sure if Blaine knew that any of the other guys had a crush on Jeremiah.
"Really...? You guys all seemed annoyed that I talked about him so much..." Blaine knew that when he used to talk all the time about Jeremiah he would receive eye rolls from the other guys.
"That's because some of us liked you..." Sebastian folded his arms back across his chest. He had been upset that Blaine didn't seem interested in him their freshman year, he had been very annoyed that Blaine seemed to only have eyes for Jeremiah, and now he seemed to have only eyes for Kurt. He wanted Blaine to be happy but he didn't think Kurt could make him happy.
"Liked..." Kurt couldn't help it he knew Sebastian and a few of the other Warbler's still liked Blaine, but the way Sebastian had said it seemed like it was in the past when Kurt knew it wasn't.
Sebastian turned his gaze on Kurt. "Yes liked..."
"Don't you mean still like..." Kurt couldn't help but notice the rolling of Sebastian's eyes. He was just about to say more to Sebastian when Blaine leaned his body against him successfully pulling his attention away from Sebastian. Kurt smiled down at Blaine as he rested his head on his shoulder. He heard a grumble noise come out of Sebastian and thought about saying something in response but shook his head instead and turned the conversation back to what they were talking about previously. "So who else liked Jeremiah?"
Jeff sat down on the table so he was sitting beside Nick before he said anything. "Do you remember Kyle?" Jeff was looking at Blaine now.
"Wasn't he the one that joined the Warbler's with us freshman year?" Blaine asked picking his head up off of Kurt's shoulder.
Kurt looked down at Blaine he had a very curious and confused look on his face. He glanced past Blaine to Sebastian, who had been previously slumped against the washing machine was now standing up straighter, listening very intently to what was being said. Kurt turned his attention back on Jeff as he started talking again.
"Yes and he left Dalton two weeks after he joined..."
"I never even saw him around Jeremiah..." Blaine dropped his head back to Kurt's shoulder with a sigh. "Why did he leave? I don't remember..." Blaine barely even remembered what Kyle looked like or what his last name was. He had never gotten close to Kyle.
"I didn't really see him around Jeremiah that much either but whenever you weren't around he was always talking about him. I think he just said that his dad got a new job so they were moving out of state..." Jeff couldn't remember for sure if that was what Kyle had said or not but he was pretty sure it was something like that.
Kurt wrapped his arm around Blaine's shoulders and pulled him really close he smiled down at Blaine when he wrapped his arms around Kurt's stomach, hugging him. Kurt had a million things running through his head after what he had just heard and wondered if Blaine was thinking anything of the same as he was. He would talk to him about it later when they were alone. Kurt looked back over at Nick and Jeff they were talking to each other now. "What is this Kyle's full name?" Kurt tightened his arm when he felt Blaine look up at him.
"Kyle Hastings..." Thad told Kurt, he didn't really remember the kid that much but he did remember Wes' flipping out about him leaving without giving them time to find someone to replace him.
Kurt nodded at Thad, silently thanking him for telling him without asking why Kurt wanted to know. He had some new information; he made a mental note to ask Wes more about Jeremiah and this Kyle kid. Kurt watched as Nick and Jeff both hopped off the table and headed to the dryer that had just stopped. They unloaded the dryer and put the clothes into the basket. He couldn't wait till his and Blaine's clothes were done so they could get back to their room and could finally be alone. Kurt listened as Jeff and Nick talked to Thad and Sebastian for a while longer and then they were saying good night to all of them. Kurt responded in kind and then laid his head on top of Blaine's waiting for the washers to get done.
When his, Blaine's and Sebastian's clothes were done in the washers they all put them into the dryers and began the waiting game again. This was the one thing that Kurt didn't like to do, waiting for laundry to get done was not fun, now he knew why his mom had complained about having to go to the Laundromat to do clothes when he was little, due to their washer being broken, it was boring and time consuming. At least while at home doing laundry you didn't have to sit around and wait for it, you could do other things.
Kurt let out a sigh of relief when the noise of the dryers stopped. "I never realized how much I hated doing laundry until now..." Kurt hopped down off the table where he and Blaine had decided to sit and rushed over to the dryer. He smiled to himself when he heard Blaine doing the same. He glanced over at Sebastian, who was standing looking out the window, he rolled his eyes and then uncrossed his arms and came walking over to the dryers too. Kurt could help it his eyes rolled back in response.
"I'm so glad to be back in our room..." Blaine groaned as he sat his basket down at the end of his bed and slid off his shoes. All Blaine wanted to do was get ready for bed and spend the time with Kurt in bed watching movies or Gilmore Girl's and of course kissing him. "Do you want to shower first or do you want me too..."
Kurt bit his bottom lip to refrain himself from saying what he really wanted to say out loud but it didn't stop him from thinking it to himself. Why don't we take one together...Kurt you are not at that point in the relationship yet... Kurt let out a sigh and turned around so he was facing Blaine, who was looking at him with an eyebrow raised and his head tilted to the side.
"What is that look for...you want to say something..." Blaine sat down on the edge of his bed watching Kurt's face, he was chewing on his bottom lip and his eyebrows were both quirked, he was thinking about something and Blaine knew it.
"I..." Kurt shook his head, Blaine wasn't ready for that and he didn't want to say it and freak him out. "It's nothing bad, don't worry..." Kurt let out a small chuckle when Blaine's dark eyebrows rose. He was so cute when he did that. Kurt crossed the room and sat down beside Blaine. "Really it's just my brain doing it's normal thinking..." Kurt laughed again when Blaine's eyebrow's knitted together causing crease lines in his forehead. Kurt ran his thumb across Blaine's forehead.
"All I did was ask..." Blaine stopped talking and pulled his bottom lip between his teeth. He felt the blush come on his face even though he was hoping that it wouldn't. "You want to shower together don't you?" Blaine knew this was what Kurt was thinking.
Kurt let out a sigh; he should have known that Blaine would put it together. "I told you it was nothing bad...I just didn't want to say it and freak you out...because I know..." Kurt was silenced by Blaine's fingers coming up and pressing against his lips.
Blaine lowered his hand and placed them on Kurt's thighs and then stared at his hands. "I'll shower with you..." Blaine waited for a few minutes thinking he was going to get a response from Kurt but when he said nothing he looked up at his face, Kurt looked like he was going to pass out. Blaine cupped Kurt's jaw and ran his over his cheekbone. "Baby did you hear me?"
Kurt nodded slowly and then pulled Blaine too him wrapping his arms tight around him, successfully pulling Blaine into his lap. "Say it again though..." Kurt whispered against Blaine's ear, causing Blaine to shiver.
"I'll shower with you..."
Kurt couldn't help the groan that escaped his lips at Blaine's words and at the movement Blaine was currently making trying to get into a more comfortable position and he urged his body to control itself. Kurt nodded again but kept his arms tight around Blaine's waist, as eager as he was to take a shower with Blaine he wasn't going to rush this and would do it how Blaine wanted to. Kurt felt Blaine try to move away from him so he loosened his arms and let Blaine move freely.
Blaine slid back some so he could look at Kurt better. He wanted to talk to him but was nervous. "I will shower with you...but..."
"I know its just showering nothing more..." Kurt interrupted Blaine because he already knew what he was going to say and he wanted Blaine to know that he already knew that nothing was going to happen and that he was perfectly fine with it.
Blaine nodded. "I'm not there yet..." Blaine wanted to say this because he wanted Kurt to know that he would get there he just wasn't yet. "If it's okay, I will go in first and then you can join me after I'm in..." Blaine really hoped Kurt would be okay with this because he didn't know if he could get undressed with Kurt watching him, not yet.
"That's more than okay baby..." Kurt leaned up some and pressed his lips against Blaine's.
