"Kurt!" Blaine knocked on Kurts door.
"Yes?" He heard movement from behind the door and then it opened a little, Kurt peaking his head out.
"I need to go to sound check, do you want to come?" He asked and Kurt nodded opening the door fully before running into his room to grab something.
"I just needed my key," Kurt said as he walked out of the room slamming it behind him.
He nodded his response and they started to walk down the corridor towards the lifts.
"So, I dont really know what youre going to want me to do?" Kurt said looking a little embarrassed that he didnt know what he was doing.
"Oh, dont worry about that, Itll only be things like coffee runs and stuff," he smiled and Kurt nodded as they walked into the lift and the doors closed, the life starting to descend. "Are you ok?" He asked. Kurt seemed to be a little distracted.
"Its nothing, Im just nervous thats all," Kurt said looking into his eyes.
"Dont be nervous and if youre not sure about something then just ask," he replied.
Kurt smiled putting a hand on his shoulder, the soft touch making his heart skip a beat.
"Thanks," Kurt said before removing his hand.
The doors to the life opened at the bottom and they walked out. Steve was waiting his clip board clutched in his hand.
"Blaine, come on and lets get onto the bus," Steve said gesturing for them to hurry up. "You must be Kurt, Ill be giving you a schedule and you can make sure that in the future that Blaine is on time for all events, if hes not then thats on your head," Steve continued before walking ahead toward the bus.
"Dont worry about him," Blaine whispered to Kurt who nodded nervously.
….
He would be lying if he said that Steve didnt scare him, the way that he looked at him told him that he probably didnt like him too much.
They reached the bus and climbed aboard. The bus was huge, he had never been inside of a tour bus but he never imagined that it would look like this.
It was like a house. "Wow," he said turning to Blaine who walked past him and slumped down into one of the two sofas that was on the bus.
"Its not much, but its home," Blaine gave him a wink quoting him of what he had said when Blaine had entered his house.
He walked towards Blaine standing next to him.
"Do you need anything?" He asked and Blaine shook his head.
"Im fine, sit down," Blaine said patting the seat next to him.
He looked to the spot, then back to Blaine before slowly taking a seat resting his hands in his lap.
"Relax," Blaine said putting a hand on his shoulder.
All that was going on in his mind was, what the hell am I doing? It wasnt even a week before that he was sitting on his couch wondering if his life was going to be a bad as it was forever and now he was here sitting on his idols tour bus as his assistant.
He felt his head swirl at the thought.
"Kurt are you ok?" Blaines hand was on his shoulder again and he let his head sink into his hands. "Do you want me to call for someone?" Blaine continued and he could hear the panic in his voice.
He shook his head and raised it again. "Im fine, just a bit overwhelmed I think," he replied with a forced smile.
Blaine disappeared from his side and he heard him walking up the bus a little. A short time later he was back with a glass of water putting it in his hands.
He laughed. "Thats my job," he said taking a small sip.
Blaine giggled in return. "Not at the moment, I understand why you would be overwhelmed. I did kind of spring this job on you, and get you fired from your last one. Shit," Blaine said running his hand through the loose curls on his forehead.
"Dont worry about it, I hated it," he replied leaning back, sinking into the couch.
"I dont get it," Blaine whispered and he turned to look at him setting his water down carefully on the table.
"Get what?" He asked his eyebrow raising.
"How ignorant people can be," Blaine said looking into his eyes.
"You get used to it," he said with a sad smile.
"Do you though? I wouldnt," Blaine said sitting back on the sofa, closer this time.
"But you would, you dont really have a choice but youre straight so it doesnt really matter," Kurt said with a shrug.
Blaine looked away when there was a shuffle coming from the far end of the bus.
"Shit," Blaine sighed.
"What?" He asked looking down the bus to see what or who it was.
Blaine stood up as the door at the back of the bus opened.
"Blaine!" There was a shriek and he felt his heart shrink as Jessica made her was towards Blaine pulling him into a tight hug.
…
He knew she was going to do this. Making her point.
He held her in a tight embrace before leaning back with a fake smile.
"Hey babe," he said making sure Kurt couldnt see before giving her evils. She knew that he couldnt do anything but give her affection when they were around people and she used any chance that she could to prove her point. That he was hers in the public view.
"I missed you," she squeaked giving him a peck on the lips.
"Missed you too," he said as they broke contact. He used the chance to move and sit next to Kurt.
"Arent you going to introduce us?" Jessica said putting her hands on her hips and fake smile playing on her lips.
"Kurt, this is Jessica. Jessica, this is Kurt," he said not really wanting them to be around each other too much if he could help it.
"Hey, Kurt. I heard youre an assistant or something, would you mind getting us a cup of tea please, we both take one sugar," Jessica said looking pleased with herself.
"Jess!" He yelled.
"What? Thats what hes here for isnt it?" She said with attitude.
"Hes not here to be your slave!" He said angry that she would even try to take advantage of Kurt.
"Its ok Blaine," Kurt said pushing himself into the standing position.
"Great! The coffee and tea machine is just beyond that door, close it behind you I want to speak with Blaine alone," Jessica said and Kurt nodded disappearing into the back and as told closing the door behind him.
"What the hell do you think youre doing?" He growled quietly not wanting Kurt to hear.
"What?" She said with a smile on her face. "Oh, come on Blaine hes just an assistant," Jess continued moving to sit down next to him. He moved over allowing her to sit.
"My assistant, you cant tell him what to do," he said leaning back on the couch feeling a sigh rising in his throat but he kept it down.
" How long have you known him?" Jessica asked and he looked at her. Why the hell did she want to know that?
"I dont know, 2 or 3 days," he replied rubbing his eyes with frustration.
"How did he get you to fall in love with him so quickly?" She said sternly.
"What are you talking about?" he scoffed letting his hands fall back into his lap.
"We have been dating for a long time and you have never looked at me the way you looked at him, its disgusting," she said. "You know you cant be with him so why are you kidding yourself?"
"Why do you always have to do this? Make me feel that what I am is wrong?"
"Well its not right," she sneered just as Kurt walked back into the room. Jessica gave him a smile before moving herself so that she was sitting on his lap.
"Here you go," Kurt said putting them on the side.
"Thanks Kurt," Blaine smiled.
Jessica leaned in and he felt her lips touch her ear.
"I will make sure that you can never have him," she whispered.
He pulled away and slowly shoved her off of him. He knew that she would be a problem from day one, the way that she looked at him always looked so possessive.
He couldnt just let her win; maybe Kurt didnt even have those feelings for him. But if he did ever have a chance in the future then he wasnt going to let someone like Jess ruin it for him.
The tour bus door opened and Steve popped his head in the door.
"Jess, will you ride with me? Ive got some things that I have to talk through with you," Steve said not even giving him a glance.
"Of course," Jess smile giving him evils before standing and following Steve off the bus.
Not long after the bus started to move and he was glad. At least Jess wasnt riding with them.
