Slowly he tiptoed off his shoes while looking around the cozy hallway. Kurt looked at him curiously, clearly waiting for him so they could walk around together.
Blaine smiled and followed Kurt to the living room. There was one word that appeared in Blaine's mind when he looked around: family. The whole living room had memories of the past. A picture here and a picture there.
He started to get curious and walked around. Kurt took a seat on the couch and looked at him, trying to figure out his responses.
“You know this kind of seems surreal.” Said Kurt, more to himself but loud enough for Blaine to hear.
Blaine turned around with a warm smile on his face. “Well it is real.” He walked to the couch and took a seat next to Kurt. He placed his hand on Kurt's knee. “What do you plan on doing until your dad gets here?”
“Well I don't know but we should probably move to my room before Carole, my stepmother, or Finn arrives.”
Blaine nodded and followed Kurt downstairs. “You own the whole cellar floor?”
Kurt chuckled. “Yeah, I need my closet space you know.”
A loud laugh escaped Blaine's mouth. “I should have known that.”
He was looking around the room while Kurt took a seat on his bed. It was that moment that Blaine noticed the posters of him on the wall. He looked at Kurt and wiggled his eyebrows. Kurt looked at what Blaine was looking and turned bright red. Blaine thought he heard Kurt mumble something like, kill me now. Blaine started laughing. “I think it's cute although there are some better pictures of me.”
He looked critical at one of them without his shirt on. “Oh and that's fake by the way.”
Blaine didn't think it was possible for Kurt to turn more red but that was exactly what happened. Blaine took a seat next to Kurt and placed his hand on Kurt's shoulder. “Hey don't worry, I'm just kidding. I like your room a lot though.”
Kurt smiled at him. “So how about a movie?”
It actually seemed like a good idea to Blaine, after all it was his free day. “I would love that.”
Kurt was about to go to the shafts with dvd's when Blaine took hold of his hand and pushed him back on the bed. “But before that, I think we need to talk.”
Kurt looked confused at him. “How do you mean?”
“Don't act like you don't know Kurt. I saw what happened at your school. I even saw video's online, Kurt.”
Blaine looked back at Kurt and saw that the boy had turned really pale. It was then that Kurt pulled his hand out of Blaine's grip and crawled to the head of his bed. He curled in a ball and turned himself as far away from Blaine as he could.
If Blaine was being honest, he didn't want to see this guy so scared and broken. It reminded him of that one time in his past when he used to be like that.
Blaine crawled higher on the bed and took a seat next to Kurt. Without any hesitation, he pulled the boy against him in a tight hug. It was that moment that Kurt's wall came down and he started crying. Blaine wanted to calm him down and started slowly singing in his ear while rocking them on the bed.
Minutes passed until Kurt finally had calmed down. Realization hit him that he had just cried and probably ruined Blaine's shirt. On the other side, he didn't want to leave the arms that made him feel safe. It had been a while since he felt like that.
“It started years ago when my mom died. She was my rock and never left a chance to tell me I was special and she loved me. She passed away when I was 7 due a car accident. My dad was heartbroken but took all the time to be there for me. I couldn't be luckier with my dad. But the other kids in my class, they didn't understand I guess what happened. They called me a freak, started bullying me but I could handle it. As we grew older and got into high school it started to take a peak. Slushies were invented, name calling became a daily thing, dumpster tosses and locker shoves. The slushies are actually a part of being a member of the glee club. We are the main target. I'm the only one who get the rest or the special program like they told me. My dad noticed and went to the headmaster and things got better for a while. Then my dad got a heart attack and everything started all over again. And it even became worse. Now my dad is ok but I can't tell him about what's going on Blaine. I can't because the doctors told us that he has to be careful with stress.”
Blaine felt sick in his stomach. “Kurt, those people are worth nothing and they aren't right.”
“I know that but it gets hard every once in a while. My friends don't really notice, they think it isn't as bad. They don't see the bruises I have all over my body. It's actually why I became a fan of you. It's my way to relax and push the bad thoughts out of my head.”
Blaine hugged Kurt a little tighter even though it seemed impossible. “I've been through it you know. The bullying, the name calling, I was even almost beaten to death. But it makes you stronger. And if your dad says yes, I'll take you with me to la so you can see what the future will look like because I know with your talent that you'll be world known soon.”
Kurt chuckled. “You haven't even seen my drawings of clothes.”
“I've seen your other drawings and they spoke volumes. But now you talk about the clothes you draw, I'm getting curious.”
Kurt wrapped himself out of Blaine's arms and walked towards his bureau. He came back a little later with a map under his arm. “I'd like you to be honest with me ok?”
Blaine smiled at him and patted on the place on the bed next to him. “I wouldn't do anything else.”
The map was opened and Blaine looked at drawing after drawing. A few were of him, others were clothing. But they all had one thing in common, they were all breathtaking.
Kur turned around the last drawing. “That was the last one, what do you think?” He turned toward Blaine and looked at him with his bright curious eyes.
“I thought you were perfect. Now I'm not even sure anymore if perfect can describe this. It's so much more than that.”
Kurt started giggling and a light red color formed on his cheeks. “I'm not but I'm glad you like them.”
“So what do you have actually in mind for me to wear to my red carpet?” asked Blaine curious.
The moment the words left his mouth, he saw Kurt run to his bureau and look through the papers on his desk. “There is this one thing I think that might be perfect for you.”
Papers started to fly everywhere until Kurt let on a shriek of triumph. He held up a piece of paper and took a seat next to Blaine. “So this is something I drew a while back. I don't know if you like it but I think it'll work and I'll be able to make this for next week.”
Blaine looked at the drawing. It was a simple costume but more modern. It had a little color in it and the details were amazing, like which buttons he would use and how the pockets needed to look.
“I think this will definitely work.” Blaine said deep in thought. Then his face turned into a playful smile as he looked back at Kurt. “So how about you? What will you be wearing?”
He looked up to see Kurt look at him with his mouth wide open. There were a few minutes going by and Blaine thought he might have broken Kurt when he whispered, “What did you just say?”.
