Chapter 3: let the trainings begin!
Finish talking already. Finish talking already. Finish talking already. Was all I could think about while Emma kept her promise and talked about hand sanitizer for about an hour. I couldn't wait to get out of there. I needed to see him. I didn't know why but I knew I just had to.
"Can I be excused? There is something I need to do," I asked Emma who simply smiled.
"absolutely not." she said in a nice voice" you got to know this stuff." She said and I rolled my eyes but before I could answer back, Mercedes helped me.
"Just let him go, Ms. P. I will help him catch up later," she winked at me.
"Well, if you promise to-"Emma started saying but I cut her off.
"Yeah I promise whatever! See ya at dinner boo!" I said and ran out of the room, but I stopped immediately. Where was I supposed to find Blaine? My brain didn't really worked, it still didn't recovered from the shock of seeing Blaine for the first time…I will start looking at the first floor, I thought but then remembered Blaine is from district 10 so he is at the last. I ran to the elevator.
OoOoOoOoOoOo
Finish talking already. Finish talking already. Finish talking already. Was all I could think about while Mr. Schuester talked to Rachel about something I didn't care about.
"…I was a good singer myself but I had to stop because of what happened to me…I was elected to be a tribute for the 79th Glee Games…" I tried listening to him but I stopped again and got back to my own thoughts .this was the 5th time he told us that story…I had to get out of there. I had to see Kurt and talk to him. But where was he? Well, he was from district 2 which was very privileged so I should start with the last floor Couse thats the penthouse.
"Will, as interesting as this story is, I need to be somewhere else, can I please go?" I asked politely, trying to hide the fact that I was about to explode.
"Where else can you go? We are the only people you know here," Rachel said and Will nodded.
"It doesn't matter, can I go?" I practically begged.it was really weird doing that, our mentor is the one who is responsible for us at our time here in the Gleetol but it was still really weird asking him every time I needed to go somewhere…
"Fine, but don't go-"I couldnt hear the rest of the sentence because I was already running towards the elevator so I can reach to the last floor.
OoOoOoOoOoOo
I was at the elevator, and it seemed like every second was an hour. Or a day. When the doors finally opened, I just ran outside, I didn't know where I was running to, I just ran.
"Blaine!" I called (or yelled)"Blaine!" I yelled again and I ran so fast without even looking until I hit something. Someone. "Im so sorry;" I said when I saw we both were on the floor." I have to go," I said, I didn't even wanted to know who it was, I just wanted to get up and leave, but something stopped me… I heard him say my name.
"Kurt…?
OoOoOoOoOoOo
-9 seconds before the crash-
Where was I running? What was I doing? I called Kurts name a few times but nobody answered. Maybe he isn't here? I should get out of here, I shou-something cut my line of thoughts. Someone just ran into me. I was on the floor and I looked up.
"Im so sorry, "he said. That voice sounded awfully familiar. "I have to go," he said quickly and when he tried to stand up and leave, I saw his face.
"Kurt…?"I said and he turned to me, our eyes met, and our mouths were slightly opened because of the shock.
"Blaine?" he said in a breath" is it really you?" he asked, a smile slowly appearing on his face, revealing he was happy to see me.
"Yes," I said quickly, smile covering my face and so does a couple of tears." yes Kurt, its me." I said and the next thing I knew was that we were hugging tightly, just breathing heavily, trying to capture the moment. I missed him so much, we spend so many moments wrapped up in each others arms like that…I was so happy. When we finally pulled back and our eyes met again, something that until now was impossible happened. Kurt kissed me. So sweet, so right, so worth the waiting...I was with my Kurt again, and I was not planning on ever letting him go....
Suddenly, he pulled away and when I opened my eyes to see what was wrong I saw that one of his hands was covering his mouth and tear stood in his eyes .I really hoped those were happy tears…
"I cant…"he whispered so quietly that I hardly hear.
"Whats wrong?" I whispered, trying to get closer but when I reached out he went back.
"Its really complicated Blaine…is there any chance you are going to drop it?" he said avoiding from looking into my eyes. I raise an eyebrow." of course you cant," he sighed. "I really need to go, "he said but before he could get up I cough his arm.
"No you dont," I said seriously." I just got you back,"
"I cant Blaine." he said this in a way that only made more tears to fall down my face." I want to, but I cant. There are stuffs you don't know,"
"then tell me," I said, still holding his arms" just don't leave me again," I whispered and looked down. He sighed and grabbed my hand, standing up and pulling me after him.
"Lets go someplace privet, we cant talk in a hallway," Kurt said and sent me a small smile I was so grateful for.
"Would two of you get out of here? I can hear your whining all the way across the hall," I heard a voice coming up behind me but before I could see who it was, Kurt already pushed me to the opposite direction.
"We are very sorry; we will be out of your way in a second." Kurt apologized and I heard the door closed, not before I could see who it was. A 30 years old guy with a Mohawk. He looked kind of scary...
"You usually don't run away so easily," I whispered to Kurt who rolled his eyes.
"This was the boy from district 1, you really don't want to mess with him, not now anyway," he said and we entered the elevator where he pressed the 11 floor button.
"Where are we going?" I asked. Does this building even have 11 floors?
"To the roof, thats the only place with no people," he said simply and then I realized that our hands were still linked.it didn't seem like something was wrong at all. The view from the roof was mind blowing. The sunset began so the entire sky was orange and purple, the buildings looked like they are glowing, and kids were running back to their homes and the street lights were on.
"Thats so beautiful," Kurt said and I couldn't resist but smile. Its not the only thing that's beautiful, was what I wanted to say but I didn't want to push too hard. Not yet.
"So are you gonna tell me whats wrong?" I said and he let go of my hand, walking towards the rail and leaning on it, staring at a distant point at the horizon. I walked closer to him.
"Do you remember us Blaine?" he asked, not looking at me.
"What do you mean?" I asked, leaning on the rail next to him.
"The day we met, how we became boyfriends, the movies we watched, the places we went to together, the fights, the tears, and the happy fluffy moments?"
"Of course I do," I said and tried to find what his sad face expression was about.
He took a deep breath before saying "well, I don't."
"Thats fine, its been 9 years, and how can you remember everything…there a lot of days that I don't remember myself." I admitted but his face only became sadder.
"Not because of time Blaine…I got my memory deleted." he said and I frowned.
"It doesn't seem like that," I said." if you have no memory of our time together, how did you recognize me?"
"I don't know." he admitted and when I looked into his eyes I saw he said the truth." lately, my memory starts to recover, I don't know how or why but if someone remind me, the memory that they talked about just appear in my head." he explained and I nodded.
"So someone talked to you about me?" I was curious.
"kind of," he said and continued "Lolita, my adopting mother, she…when she came to say goodbye she told me that I had a boyfriend and that I came from district 10 and stuff…those two days been kind of shocking for me."
"I can tell, you look even paler than usual," I said and he punched me playfully on my arm. "But, what do you remember?"
"You, my mom, my dad, the house, and the day we fought because a girl was flirting with you-"
"She wasn't flirting with me," I said and he rolled his eyes.
"a few parts from the reaping day, the part where I got on the hovercraft with president Sue and reached to the Gleetol, the part where they almost cut of your tongue for dishonoring the president and I ran like crazy to ask Sue to tell them to stop-"I cut him off once more. I was shocked as well.
"It was because of you they stopped?" I asked unbelievably and he nodded.
"It was the least I could do, knowing that we are probably not going to see each other again, I needed you to be safe." he said and looked down. But I was even more surprised from what he just said.
"You knew you were going to leave and you didn't tell me?!"I almost yelled.
"I don't remember why I did it, I just did!" he said defensively "Im sorry," he said and I raise an eyebrow.
"The great Kurt Hummel asking for my forgiveness, thats not a very common sight," I said in a cocky voice.
"Oh shut up," he said and I laughed. Our faces were very close now, he ran his fingers down my cheek and I couldn't resist closing the last few inches between us, our lips meeting once again. But yet again, one of us had to pull away, this time it was me.
"Im sorry," I said but he shook his head.
"Don't, I wanted it just as much as you did," he said and I smiled.
"You did?" I sounded like a 5 year old.
"yeah…"he blushed." but I don't even know you, this doesn't make sense!" I knew that one thing that really annoyed Kurt was that something didn't make sense.
"What doesn't make sense to you?"
"that this," he pointed his finger between the two of us" feels so natural and good, even though we just met a few hours ago and even then we were just staring at each other and about to lose consciousness we still kissed twice and you are so sweet and nice and cute and it feels like we have been in love for years!" He said so fast that anyone who doesn't know Kurt would be very confused.
"thats okay," I said even if it wasnt" we will figure this out,"
"And how are we planning on doing that?" He asked and raised an eyebrow. I didn't really know what to answer. How do you go back to be a normal couple after you haven't seen each other in 9 years, one of you almost got killed and then almost had a nervous breakdown because somebody took the other one away to the Gleetol after he saved the other one and then got his memory deleted? "Well…?"
"Maybe you should get to know me, and I will get to know the new you?"
"Thats a nice way to start," he said "there are a few things I would like to know," he admitted and I sent him a relaxing smile.
"So ask," and then the bombardment of questions began.
"What do you think about musicals?"
"Love them and hope to star in one in the future."
"Your favorite musical?"
"Wicked."
"Fashion taste?"
"Bow ties, polo shirts, cropped pants and I hate socks."
"Music taste?"
"Mostly old stuff including disco but Im in love with lady gaga." I said and Kurt looked impressed. And with you, I wanted to add but I held my tongue.
"How many guys have you slept with?" Kurt asked seriously and I blushed and looked down.
"What?"
"You heard me; don't make me say it again," Kurt looked down. I just laughed." what is so funny?" he asked offended.
"Kurt, I just had my first kiss a few minutes ago…I was saving it for you…."I said blushing and Kurt hasnt seen that surprised.
"you are my kind of guy Blaine Anderson," he said and I smiled." apparently you always were," he added and I was on cloud 9.
"So how many guys have you slept with? You probably had a lot more options then me because district 2 is the gay district,"
"I just had my first kiss a few minutes ago, apparently I was saving it for you as well." he said and I was confused. How!?
"Wait…you are messing with me arent you?" I asked and he looked offended.
"I will never joke about that thing,"
"But how? Its impossible,"
"it was just the fact that…every time I found a nice guy, some part inside of me screamed me to stop, and now I know why." he said and I blushed.
"So… what else would you like to know?"
OoOoOoOoOoOo
I came back to my room about 3 hours later…only to see Mercedes sitting on my bed, her arms fold on her chest.
"You own me some explanations." She said and I rolled my eyes.
"I really don't feel like talking, I had a very long day and all I want to do is take a nice shower and crawl into my bed." I said but I knew she wasn't going to leave me alone until she is going to get what she wants.
"Where have you been? You missed dinner and Emma is really mad at you, as far as I know she is crazy so she is capable of murdering you in your sleep,"
"She wouldn't, it will get her hands dirty." we both chuckled." Do you have any idea what happened to her that made her so crazy?"
"Nope, maybe your boyfriend knows," she said and I knew I reacted the exact opposite from what she expected.
"Im sure he does, he knows all of the games, and I will ask him next time I see him."
"Arent you supposed to say he is not my boyfriend" she tried to mimic my voice.
"That would be a lie." I simply said, grabbed a towel and clean cloths and entered the bathroom.
"You just met him!" she said unbelievably.
"Right, but we never officially broke up,"
"Oh, so are you going to break up with him?" she asked and I didn't really knew." do you like him?"
"Of course I do, I just talked to him for 3 hours! He is everything I like in a guy, he is smart, funny, nice and he is so hot…"I had to admit." I don't know what to do Mercedes,"
"Why are you making such a big deal out of this?" she asked me as I finished showering and put on the clean pajamas.
"Why aren't you?"
"Because you said you like him," she said and I could tell that she was raising her eyebrows at me.
"but…Im confused…"I sighed and lay down on my bed." I need to sleep it off," I said.
"I understand, but you do know you cant be together, you know that." she said as she left my room, closing the door behind her, leaving me to think.
She was right of course, I and Blaine are entering the arena in 4 days and only one of us or none will make their way out. Whatever hope I had for us was shuddered at this moment. How am I supposed to win like that?!The trainings start tomorrow and I have nothing! No normal mentor, no brain that works(my brain was busy thinking about one hazel eyed boy)and I had no plan on how to get sponsored because Emma is certainly not gonna do that for me. I have a lot of stuff to do but first, I need to sleep a little.
OoOoOoOoOoOo
It took me awhile until I entered my room and fell on the bed with a smile in the size of the Pacific Ocean.it took me even longer to process what just happened. Kurt was here at the Gleetol, we been on the roof for about 3 hours, we kissed and everything would have been perfect if we weren't entering the arena in 4 days. I knew I could not expect Kurt to feel the same as I do, I knew we need to start over and fall in love all over again and I knew how hard this is going to be. But I was ready if Kurt was ready.
A few seconds before I fell asleep completely, I heard a knock on my door. Who could that be in that time of the night?
"What do you want?" I said, my head still buried in my pillow.
"Blaine, its me." I heard Kurts voice and immediately jumped from the bed (nearly falling on my face) and opened the door for him.
"What happened? Did somebody died?" I asked rubbing my eyes.
"No. we need to talk."
"Come in," I said and closed the door behind Kurt who sat on my bed." Whats wrong?" I sat next to him. Kurt didn't spoke for a few long moments." come on Kurt, the trainings start in 7 hours,"
"Thats what I want to talk about," he said in a voice that I recognize from the times Kurt needed to do something he didn't wanted to do. That made me worried. I reached out of grab his hand but he pulled away." we both know we cannot be together Blaine, with those silly games ahead of us and the fact that we will be dead after their ending." he looked at me but I refused to look back.
"I know. I just hoped we can make the most out of the time we left." I whispered.
"Thats what I thought as well but," he stopped.
"But what?" I pushed and he gave me the look of can I be honest with you that I saw so many times before. "Just talk Kurt."
"I don't think I can handle have feelings for you and then see you die, I really cant." he admitted and I grabbed his hand, this time he didn't pulled away.
"We can just be friends you know," I said but he shook his head.
"No, Im not afraid of developing feelings, I…I already have them," he admitted and blushed.
"So we already have nothing to lose, what the worst that could happen besides heartbreak?" I said and Kurt rolled his eyes but smiled.
"You are an idiot," he said and I smiled." I need to go to sleep," he said and stood up to leave my room." Good night,"
"Good night," I said and lay back on the bed. I closed my eyes when I heard the door closed. Only later I found out Kurt came back to give me a good night kiss.
OoOoOoOoOoOo
I could barely sleep that night, all I could think about was what was I doing? What was I feeling? How much time is this going to last? How long before something will make sense?
My day was not so special at first, at breakfast I sat at the career tributes table of course, with Tina Quinn Mercedes Puck (who is apparently the guy that me and Blaine saw yesterday) and Sebastian which I didn't particularly liked because he was staring at each man butt that was at the dining room. Luckily for me, Blaine hasnt got up from his chair until we left. The training center was amazing. Every weapon known to mankind was there, bayonets, swords, bows and arrows, axes, knives, spears, daggers, pitchforks, and a lot more…I couldn't wait to use those. Of course there were the less awesome parts like where they teach you how to light fire, or how to identify plants and stuff that I didnt need to learn (I didn't want to learn) and I immediately went to the arrows and targets. I picked out a silver bow and some random arrow from the large pile and stood in front of the target 15 meters away from me. After a quick preparation, I shot the arrow right above the heart of the target before it exploded to a thousand pieces. I was surprised of course because I havent noticed that was a bomb arrow and because I was going for the heart and not the upper heart. Well, I didn't liked bows very much anyways. When I was about to shot again, this time with a normal arrow, 4 people entered the room, Rachel berry (I suddenly recognized her. What was she doing here?!)A young boy and a girl, and Blaine, looking handsome as always. I wanted to call him or ran and hug him but I knew I couldn't in order for my plan to work (as in order to survive as long as possible, I need to be a part of the career group that usually contains the winner. They stay next to the cornucopia and hunt the other tributes one by one.as cruel as it can be, it was the way Im going to win.), so I just sent him a smile when he looked at me, a smile that for the first and last time ever, wasn't returned. What was wrong? After a few missed shots which made me super angry, I decided to go to the knot station, where by coincidence, Blaine was. I sat next to him and he shift uncomfortably in his chair. I decided to hold my tongue .if Blaine didn't wanted to talk to me for a while it was okay, even though I wasn't so happy about it. We worked for about 15 minutes in silence, before our hands accidently brushed when we reached for the same rope and he pulled away like my hand was on fire.
"What got into you?" I whispered angrily and Blaine sighed.
"Not now." he said quickly, not even looking at me. "They will see." He whispered, so quietly that I barely heard it. I nodded and sighed in relief (Blaine didn't hate me!)This made Blaine smile. After learning a few more things that I didnt think was necessary, I went back to my room and had a quick shower. When I went out only a towel wrapped around my hips, I saw Blaine sitting on my bed, smirking when he saw me.
"Hey you," he said as I ran back to the bathroom, leaning on the close door. I heard Blaine laughing and I blushed even harder.
"Thats not funny Blaine!" I yelled, embarrassed and then I heard a knock on the bathroom door." What do you want?" I said in a harsh tone, immediately regretting it. I hoped Blaine knew that I wasn't mad at him, we met yesterday and we weren't dating, and he already saw me Two-thirds naked. Are we going too fast or its just me?
"You left your clothes on the bed…"he chuckled.
"Of course I did…"I sighed and opened the door slightly so he could give me the cloths before I closed it again." Thanks," I started to dress up. I came out and put the cloths at the Hamper not before pressing a kiss to Blaines cheek.
"Thats more like it, "he said and I chuckled and sat next to him.
"Now, would you mind explaining why you ignored me today?"
"Its all part of Wills plan," he said simply.
"Which is?"
"I don't really know, he want to somehow use our relationship to attract sponsors," he said and then added" not that we have a relationship," he said defensively but I sent him a calm smile.
"Yeah we do, we just haven't determined what kind or relationship it is," I said. After a few moments of silence I finally spoke." So why are you here? Dont tell me that seeing me in a towel was planned?"
"No. I just thought maybe we can hang out?" He said and I raised an eyebrow.
"I thought people weren't supposed to know about us," I was a little confused.
"I know, but its kind of hard to stay away from you now that I got you back…"he said quietly and I could see the blush find its way to his face. Darn the cuteness.
"Thats fine, we used to date, wow that felt terrible saying that…"I had to admit.
"Luckily for us this is only temporary," Blaine said and I nodded, knowing it was true.
"Lets go to the movie room." I suddenly said, not knowing what I was trying to do "we can watch beauty and the beast, I know its your favorite," Blaine raise an eyebrow at me.
"Like a date?"
"Like a date." I said and I saw Blaine was surprised by my confident.
"Fine," he said and I rolled my eyes at trying-to-be-hard-to-get Blaine.
"Great, I will just go change first," I said and got off the bed but Blaine caught my arm.
"No you are not, we don't have 5 hours. We need to go no so we can be alone and that nobody will see us." Blaine said and I knew he was right but I couldn't go out wearing t-shirt and sweatpants!
"It will be fast I promise," I begged but Blaine shook his head.
"Come on, we live here now, cant you walk around like that at your house?" he asked and took my hand, I sighed.
"Fine, lets go." I gave up and let Blaine drag me towards the movie room. We walked towards the elevator passing by some people and then they looked at me," I hate you," I whispered to Blaine who only smiled calmly at me.
"Sure you are," he said and I rolled my eyes .hoping nobody important will see us.
OoOoOoOoOoOo
Until about half of the movie we were far away, softly singing with the characters, just like we used to when we were younger. We used to be at one of our rooms, cuddling, singing laughing (no matter what movie we watched) and falling asleep in each others arms…I knew it will take a while before we get there again, I just thought it would take longer than a day because then I felt Kurt scooping closer.
"Come here," he whispered and I did, immediately calming. This was so familiar, the warmness, the slow breaths and heartbeat, I missed this so much." Can I ask you something?" Kurt whispered and I nodded. Trying to remember that moment." Would you be my boyfriend again?" my breath caught in my throat. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!
"Yes!" I yelled in excitement without noticing making Kurt laugh and pull me closer.
"You need to stop being so cute," he said, I smiled and snuggled even harder into my boyfriend. I was so happy that I couldn't stop myself from saying…
"I love you so much Kurt," I jumped away from Kurt in panic "Im so sorry, I didn't mean to, I just-"
"Blaine!" Kurt yelled and I went silent "relax, everything is fine,"
"No its not, there is no possible way you can say it back, not now-"
"Shut up," he chuckled" its okay," he said, taking my hands and pulling me into a passionate kiss. As of this moment, everything was right in my world.
