"I'm sorry you got grounded." Blaine said to Kurt at school Monday morning before homeroom.
"Don't be, I'm facing the consequences of my actions for going out without consent." Kurt replied.
*** Saturday Morning ***
Kurt, Finn, Burt and Carole had just sat down to breakfast when they heard a knock at the door. Burt got up from his chair, "I got it." He said gruffly then went for the door. He answered it to find Puck standing at the doorway holding Finn's Letterman jacket.
"Hey, Finn left this at my place last night. Wouldn't have cared but it's not panties so it really means nothing." Puck said holding up the jacket. Burt took it from him looking confused at first then angry.
"Thanks, Noah. I'll make sure he gets it." Burt said and closed the door on him. He came back into the dining room and tossed the jacket towards Finn, "Puck said you left it at his house yesterday."
Kurt looked up at his dad, scared. Finn nodded as he turned to his breakfast but turned back to Burt with the same expression as Kurt, "Care to explain?" Burt asked.
"It's just a misunderstanding..." Kurt chuckled nervously. Burt pursed his lips, "How could we disobey?"
"I expected more from you two. Kurt, I raised you so much better than this."
"And you too, Finn. I never taught my son how to escape a parent's orders and go to a party." Carole added.
Finn and Kurt lowered their heads in shame, "How long?" Finn mumbled in a low whisper, defeated.
"Two weeks time. No cell phones, television, computer, X-box and whatever other fancy technologies you kids have. You go to school and come straight home. You're not allowed going out with friends. It's time you learn." Burt scolded.
"But, I have plans today!" Kurt exclaimed.
"Well it looks like you're going to have to cancel them. Like you should've done yesterday."
"Bu-"
"One phone privilege. One. For both of you to cancel any plans you've previously made, right now. Then turn them in to me." Burt said. Kurt pulled out his phone and texted Blaine.
Looks like im not coming over today after all :'( -K
Why??? -B
I got caught. I'm grounded, 2 weeks im srry -K
This is my only phone privilege, ill talk to u monday -K
With that he turned in his phone to his father and pushed his breakfast away, "I'm not hungry anymore." Kurt said before he left the table to his room.
********
"He doesn't know one thing." Blaine said.
"What?" Kurt asked.
"I have you every weekday. I can do almost anything I want with you." Blaine said. Kurt smiled softly. Blaine looked around and gently applied a quick kiss on Kurt's lips, "I'll see you after lunch." Kurt nodded and left the classroom.
Already the presence of Thanksgiving was invading the school. That was one thing Sebastian hated. It was just the beginning of November and already his desk was cluttered with hand turkeys that he had yet to hang up. The halls were decorated with brown and yellow chains and cornucopias on all the bulletin boards. And the worst part about it. He didn't have Blaine to celebrate it with. That one really hit him. He had nobody but the people he couldn't wait to pull away from. To separate and become his own man. He loved his family. Why wouldn't he? But becoming independent was the thing he looked forward to and now it's all gone. That dream once again a dream to someday become reality.
The kids have noticed how sulky Sebastian has been lately since the breakup but the worst part about it was today when arts and crafts was over a student of his approached him holding a paper. What he thought was another hand Turkey turned out to be something more. The kid handed the paper over to Sebastian, "This is for you Mister Smythe. I hope it helps." The kid smiled. Sebastian reached out and took the paper from him. It had him and all of his students drawn on it. There was writing in yellow crayon on the top right corner that read "Don't be sad you know who loves you!" Sebastian smiled down at the picture. He already felt like the tears forming in his eyes. He blinked them back.
"Thank you, Joey. Now, can you please take your seat."
Joey hugged his leg, "We all love you!" He exclaimed in the hug before heading back to his table.
So maybe he might not be loved by another man but at least he had twenty-five honest kids who loved him instead.
The two weeks past slower than Kurt and Blaine could ever imagine. Of course they did have in school but when you got used to after school and text messages then things really change.
So when Blaine got that text message from Kurt he couldn't help his excitement to escalate in the middle of Wal-Mart. A large "yes!" escaped his lips in the paper towel section. He got a few strange glances his way that caused him to blush. He quickly grabbed the first pack of paper towels he could find and showed the onlookers, "They had my favorite paper towel brand. I love uh... the Great Value brand. Wal-Mart's paper towel brand does best for me. Bounty sucks." The people looked away no longer caring. Guess he was buying generic brand today since he made a whole scene. He then texted Kurt back, his fingers flew through the familiar keys as he anxiously responded back to the long waited text.
Kurt chuckled when he read Blaine's response.
Im so glad its over I have to buy generic brand paper towels now tho -B
He didn't quite understand what he meant by it but it was just what Kurt needed after a long fourteen days.
