Meet Pavarotti
Kurt smiled despite still being mostly asleep, when he heard Blaine grumble and felt him move on top of him as the alarm started blaring at them to wake up. He put his hands on Blaine's hips as the smaller teen stretched out and hit his palm against the noise maker, successfully silencing it. Blaine had evidentially slept on top of Kurt all night. This made Kurt smile. His body was a little sore from not moving all of the night but he really didn't care at this point as long as Blaine was in his arms he was happy. The only thing was he really had to use the bathroom but didn't want to move Blaine off him or get up. The night had seemed to go by too quickly for Kurt and now the school day was staring them in the face. The prospect of having to see Jeremiah, Alex and the others was a heavy pit in his stomach that he didn't want to have to face.
Blaine had slumped on the bed after stretching out to silence the alarm but he let out a yawn and then slid back into his previous position and snuggled against Kurt once again. He really wanted to skip school today but he knew that he couldn't, he couldn't let his grades drop. He let out another yawn and then picked his head up to look at the still very sleepy looking teen lying under him. Blaine ran his feet over Kurt's legs again, like he had the previous night, loving the feeling of the silk against his bare feet. Kurt had hummed at him again. "Are you awake?" Blaine asked placing his hands on Kurt's chest and sitting up.
Kurt groaned. "Yes, not that I want to be though..." He had his hands still on Blaine's hips. "How are you feeling?" Kurt asked bring one hand up to rest on Blaine's cheek.
"I'm feeling blah..." Blaine admitted. He was still shaken from all of what had happened the previous day and then the nightmare last night.
"Do you want to talk about what happened last night?" Kurt wasn't sure if talking about Blaine's nightmare would help him or not.
Blaine pulled his bottom lip between his teeth and looked down at Kurt. He wasn't sure if he really wanted to talk about the nightmare or not. It had been different than any other ones he had had previously. He let out a sigh and then closed his eyes. "He wasn't just after me in the nightmare, he was after you too!" Blaine opened his eyes when Kurt's fingers gripped his hips tighter.
Kurt wasn't surprised by what Blaine had said. "Baby, I don't know if he will ever come after me but I will do my best to keep him away from both of us, okay?" Kurt smiled at Blaine when he nodded at him. "We better get ready."
Blaine nodded and slowly climbed off Kurt so he was sitting on the edge of the bed. He rubbed his eyes with the back of his hands, not really wanting to wake up all the way. "Oh we are going to have an extra practice today." Blaine told Kurt as he stood up and stretched out his limbs. Blaine didn't mind having extra practices though, not with their sectionals coming up soon. They still had to practice the harmonizing and dance moves of the songs they decided on.
Kurt smiled he was fine with having an extra practice when he got to sing with Blaine. He knew Blaine was the lead singer of the Warbler's but he hoped one day he could sing a solo or sing a duet with Blaine. He wasn't sure of the last one though, because while he was at McKinley he had wanted to sing a duet with Sam Evans but everyone thought it was wrong so he had ended up backing out of it. Being here at a school that housed all boys, he wondered if the Warblers ever did duets. "I'm actually looking forward to it." Kurt told Blaine as he climbed off the bed and walked across the room and into the bathroom, he didn't bother to close the door behind him. He really had to piss though. He when he was done he washed his and came back out into the room and to the closet to get out his uniform. He glanced back at Blaine to find him watching him. "You look so tired."
Blaine tried to stifle his yawn and then he smiled at Kurt. He was exhausted not just tired but he wasn't going to let it affect him. He slowly stood up and walked to his own closet and pulled out his uniform. He collected his shoes and then walked back over to his bed. When he turned to look at Kurt again, he was now shirtless and standing back to him. Kurt was very beautiful and Blaine loved the muscles in his back, muscles that all he wanted to do was run his hands and lips all over. Blaine let out a sigh, which cause Kurt to turn around and look at him. Blaine pulled his bottom lip between his teeth and felt the blush creep into his cheeks.
"Baby what are you blushing about?" Kurt wasn't sure what Blaine was thinking, but it was so cute when he blushed.
"The muscles in you back." Blaine mumbled.
Kurt couldn't help the smirk that crept into his face. "What about them?"
"They are sexy." Blaine mumbled lowering his voice even lower than the first time he had spoke.
Kurt tried to suppress the smirk from growing any farther but failed miserably. "Is that something you like?"
Blaine knitted his eyebrows together at Kurt's words. He wasn't sure if it was or not, he had never really thought about it before Kurt. "I'm not really sure." He admitted.
Kurt nodded. He understood that Blaine didn't know what he really liked. Never having a boyfriend before, it was hard to discover what he would like and or not like. Kurt sat his uniform down on the bed and crossed the short distance to Blaine. "What were you thinking about that made you blush though?" He knew there was more to it than just finding his back muscles sexy.
Blaine bit his lip a little harder and then let go of it. He shook his head.
"Baby you can tell me." Kurt encouraged.
Blaine took a deep breath and looked up at Kurt, meeting his eyes before he spoke. "I was thinking about running my hands and lips all over those muscles..." He felt the blush deepen but he forced himself to keep eye contact with his boyfriend.
Kurt let out a breathless chuckle causing Blaine to break eye contact with him. "Oh, no...Baby I wasn't laughing because I was making fun of you...I was just...wow that's...hot!" Kurt stumbled over his words, he didn't think Blaine saying that would be so hot but it was, he couldn't explain it. "Maybe later...umm...only if you want too..." Kurt rolled his eyes at himself, still stumbling to get out what he wanted to say.
Blaine glanced back up at Kurt's face and started chewing on his bottom lip again. He couldn't bring himself to respond with words so he just nodded. He wasn't against trying that later.
Kurt leaned down and placed a kiss to Blaine's lips and then stepped back, he was suddenly really happy for the day to start so it could get them back here. "We better get ready. You can use the bathroom first." He ran a hand through Blaine's curls and then smiled at him.
~+~+~
Blaine let out a groan when the bell finally rang. Today's classes seemed to be dragging on. Usually he didn't mind being in Art class but today, today he just wanted it to end, today he just felt off. He slowly packed up his sketch pad and pencils and shoved them into his bag. The only thing that made him feel better was that he now had History with Kurt, he got to see his boyfriend but he also didn't want to go to that class because it also had Alex...they were all there...Blaine suddenly felt a wave a nausea hit him and he wished nothing more than to be back in his room. He stood up from the stool he had been sitting on and made his way towards the door, he glanced up at the clock over the door to check how much time he had before the bell would ring. It wasn't enough to go to the bathroom. He let out a sigh and entered the slightly crowded hallway.
"Hey you..." Jeff said as he stepped up beside Blaine, bumping him in the side with his book bag that hung on his shoulder. It amazed Jeff sometimes how short his best friend was. "How's your day been?"
"Long..." Blaine let out a small chuckle as Jeff pushed him again with his bag.
"Tell me about it but you only have one more class and then you can rest till practice at four." Jeff agreed whole heartedly that today seemed long. He didn't know if it was the weather or just that time of the school year that seemed to make it drag on. He glanced out the large windows as he and Blaine pasted them. It was raining today. Gray and nasty looking clouds seemed to gather over the school casting weird light in through the windows.
"Right, we have an extra hour of practice tonight." Blaine rolled his eyes, god forbid Wes ever let them get away with not having a practice. "Have you guys got the dance moves worked out?" David, Jeff and Nick had been working on them.
"Not completely but it's getting there. David wants to throw in the move that I am pretty sure some of us will not be able to do. And not to mention it is a killer on the knees." Jeff ran a hand through his blond hair and gave Blaine a knowing look.
Blaine rolled his eyes again. "He will just have to deal with it if not all of us can do the moves he wants."
"Yeah he will." Jeff chuckled. "Oh you do know that Wes, Thad and David are planning on making Kurt officially a Warbler, right?" A smile broke out on his face.
Blaine chuckled too. "I didn't know they were planning it for today."
"Yep, how do you think Kurt will handle that?"
Blaine shrugged, in truth he didn't know. "Guess we will all find out." Blaine stopped walking when he reached the History classroom door. "I'll see you at practice." He watched as Jeff smiled and waved before he rushed off down the hallway. Blaine smiled after him and then entered the room.
~+~+~
Wes smiled at Kurt as him and Blaine came into the common room where they were holding practice. He had called for an extra hour Warblers meeting, making up for the one that was missed this past weekend.
Kurt returned the smile and looked at David and Thad who were seated on either side of Wes. They were both smirking. Kurt shook his head and made his way over to one of the leather couches where he and Blaine usually sat. Just as Blaine was about to join him on the sofa, Wes started talking.
"In our oldest tradition for our newest Warbler, an actual Warbler..." Wes was smiling at Blaine now.
Kurt watched as Blaine made his way to the back of the room to a small table and picked up a bird cage and came walking back towards him. Kurt had to smile about the smile that was on Blaine's face. It was very cute and to see a smile on his face was amazing.
"Kurt, meet Pavarotti..." Blaine held the cage out towards Kurt.
Kurt looked into the cage that Blaine had handed him, there sitting on the metal perch swing was a little (if Kurt was being honest) completely adorable, yellow canary. Kurt had never really had a pet before. This was going to be interesting.
"This bird is a member of an unbroken line of canaries that have been at Dalton, since 1890...it is your job to take care of him so he can live and carry on the Warbler legacy...Protect him, that bird is your voice."
Kurt listened as Wes finished his speech, which he was sure he had said too many of the boys in this room, but he couldn't help but roll his eyes slightly. "Great I'll bring him to work with me, on the weekends I volunteer at a stray cat rescue, at the bottom of a coal mine..." Kurt looked at Blaine who was now sitting beside him, he was suppressing a laugh. "I don't...work at the bottom of a coal mine..." Kurt added and got smiles from some of the Warblers. Sebastian was frowning at him. Kurt shook his head and looked back down at the cage that was now rested on his knees. Pavarotti was looking up at him with his beady black eyes and he let out a very happy sounding tweet. Kurt smiled and then looked back over at Blaine, as he slid closer to him on the sofa. "Did you know about this?" Kurt asked leaning over to whisper in Blaine's ear.
Blaine nodded at him. "I knew they were going to do it just wasn't sure when they were..." Blaine shrugged his shoulders. He was very happy that Kurt was taking it well. "I'm just glad you don't have a fear of birds, which would have been horrible!" Blaine gave Kurt a small smile and leaned against his side.
"Yes that would have been horrible. Luckily that is not one of my fears." Kurt turned his gaze from Pavarotti to Blaine, who had just looped his arm in Kurt's. Kurt leaned his head down slightly and kissed Blaine on the forehead. "I hope I don't kill him..." Kurt whispered.
Blaine chuckled. "I'm sure you are going to do just fine with him. See he already likes you." Blaine was watching the small yellow bird, which seemed to be staring at Kurt. "I better watch out or even birds will try to steal you away from me."
Kurt let out a quiet laugh and put a hand on Blaine's knee, squeezing slightly. "That will never happen!" He placed the cage on the floor by their feet and then looked back at Blaine. He had pulled his feet up onto the sofa, knees to chest. Kurt wrapped an arm around Blaine's back and pulled him to his side. "No one has my attention other than you." Kurt kissed his forehead again. "Besides, I should be the one worrying."
Blaine turned his head up and raised an eyebrow at Kurt. "Why?"
"Because over half of these Warbler's want you and half of those are straight!" Kurt smirked at him. Even the straight boys seemed to be in awe of Blaine, especially when he was performing.
Blaine was just about ready to respond to Kurt when Wes spoke up again saying that they were going to work on learning the all the harmonies for the first hour and then the dance moves for the last hour. Blaine let out a sigh and got to his feet. "Work to do!" He pulled Kurt up with him.
~+~+~
Blaine took a deep breath and then walked over to the small table by the windows. They had been singing off and on for a whole hour and he had a tickle in his throat. Actually he had a sore throat but he was not going to tell any of the guys that. He poured himself at glass of water and took a sip. It didn't help actually the cold made his throat feel worse. He was glad that the hour was almost up because he was going to be able to rest said sore throat. Blaine turned around to watch Kurt as he was working on harmonizing with Jeff and Nick. Kurt was so cute when he was singing. Kurt must have sensed Blaine watching him because he his eyes towards him and smiled. Blaine smiled back and took another small sip of water.
Kurt was relieved when Wes called an end to the first hour of practice and decided to let everyone have a short break. Kurt knew they would be working on dancing next, something that he wasn't really good at. He hoped that he could keep up with these boys. He had already seen David, Nick and Jeff dance and they were good. Way better than he was. He let out a sigh as he came to a stop beside Blaine who was sipping from the glass in his hand.
Blaine held out the glass to Kurt who took it with a smile. "So, how's the song coming along for you?"
"Great, Nick, Jeff and I sound really well together." Kurt said and then took a long drink from the glass, successfully empting it. Kurt picked up the pitcher of water and refilled the glass, holding it back out to Blaine.
Blaine smiled and took the glass back from him. They had been spending the hour in small group's fine tuning the different parts of the harmonies. He was glad that Kurt's voice was working with the group because he loved his voice.
~+~+~
A huff of air escaped Blaine as he sat down on the leather sofa. He was down to just wearing his undershirt, having shed his blazer, button-down and tie. He was sweating now. The dance moves were working out well but it was way too hot in here for his liking. Kurt must have been thinking the same thing because he strode across the room and opened the large window. A cool breeze blew in, it was still raining out in fact it was pouring. "Wes the hours almost up, come on we're dying here." Blaine finally said to Wes when he noticed the older teen trying to get some of the boys back dancing again.
Wes let out an annoyed noise but nodded. "Okay, we will pick up at tomorrow's practice. Everybody, go get some food, get your homework done and get some rest tonight!" He picked up his blazer, shirt and tie from the chair where he had tossed them, as many of the boys had. The guys let out noises of appreciation and slowly started filing out of the room.
Kurt flopped down on the sofa beside his boyfriend and smiled when he heard Pavarotti tweeting happily from his cage. Kurt leaned over to look into the cage when he heard Blaine's stomach let out a growl, showing his need for food. "Let's go get some food." Kurt climbed back to his feet, picked up the cage and then offered Blaine his hand free hand.
Blaine took Kurt's hand with a smile. "Sounds good to me..."
