Ill update soon! x
He felt the bus come to a stop, Blaine had fallen asleep god know how many hours ago and he had been reading a book that he had shoved into his case at the last-minute.
The door to the bus opened and he put his book down on the side before standing up. He slowly made his way to the door and looked out; it was getting dark due to it being late in the afternoon. They seemed to be at a huge stadium of some kind.
He stepped off of the bus, just as Steve appeared. A flash of hatred ran through him as he recalled what Blaine had told him the day before but he hid it with a smile.
"Where Blaine?" Steve asked and he looked to the bus.
"Hes still asleep, Ill wake him up but first I want to get him coffee, I assume the stadium has a coffee café or something?" He asked and Steve nodded.
"Yeah, just go through those door and turn left, his favourite is a medium drip," Steve said gesturing towards the entrance of the stadium.
He nodded and started for the doors. "Make sure that Blaines not late tonight, time is money," Steve said and walked away.
He almost muttered to himself what he thought about his money but he kept it under wraps, he walked through the entrance of the stadium and like Steve said the café was on the left. He walked through to it and ordered for Blaine.
It was quite cold out and Blaine might need a coffee to wake himself up, anyway he hadnt done much in the way of being an assistant and he wanted to prove that he was useful.
Once he had the coffee he made his way back to the bus carefully stepping up the steps of the bus and walking inside.
He sat Blaines coffee on the side before walking to his bedside looking down at him, Blaine had rolled over and he couldnt see his face but he could tell he was deep in sleep.
He took a breath not wanting to wake him but he only had a couple of hours until his show started.
"Blaine," he whispered not wanting to startle him.
…..
"Blaine," a voice said and he blinked open his eyes turning over to see who was calling his name. His face felt wet from the tears that he had shed before he had fallen asleep.
"What?" He groaned sleepily.
"Were in Boston," Kurt said in a small voice.
"We are? I didnt think I would sleep for that long, Im sorry," he said thinking of how bored Kurt must have been.
"Dont worry about it Blaine, I didnt blame you, you looked exhausted," Kurt said and he swung his leg out from the alcove and climbed out of the bed.
"Where are we? The show or a hotel?" He asked pulling his hoodie around him feeling the chill from what he guesses was the tour bus door being open.
He felt exhausted, and though he had just been sleeping he felt like just crawling back under the covers and staying there for eternity.
"The show, youre performing in a couple of hours," Kurt said putting a comforting hand on his arm. "Maybe you should put this one off," Kurt said with a shrug.
"No," he said with a sigh. "I cant do that to all of the fans coming tonight and Steve will be pissed if I lose him some money," he continued and they both travelled down the bus.
"I went to get you a coffee before I woke you up, medium drip, that what you like right?" Kurt asked and he suddenly got excited, he wasnt sure why, it was just a coffee.
"Yes, thank you so much, youre my favourite person," he said as Kurt handed him the cup and he took a sip sighing with pleasure.
Kurt giggled. "Ill start getting them more often," Kurt said and he nodded.
He put the coffee down and turned to Kurt pulling him into a hug. "Thank you for last night, Ive never really told anyone before and Im glad you were the first person that I told," he said and Kurt held him back. He left his face rest in the little dip in Kurts shoulder and took in his scent, as weird as it sounded he didnt care, Kurt was becoming one of the best friends hed ever had.
"No problem Blaine, Im here if you need to talk about anything," Kurt said and he pulled away looking into Kurts eyes.
"Thank you Kurt, you have no idea how much that means to me," he whispered feeling as though he could kiss Kurt right here, right now.
But before he could make the move Kurt smiled and turned walking back down the bus.
"Are you ready to move inside the venue?" Kurt asked and he hesitantly nodded his head before picking his coffee back up. He turned and stared to follow Kurt off of the bus, as soon as they stepped off the door to the bus closed and they headed into the venue.
He assumed that the outfit that Steve wanted him to wear was already set up in his dressing room, proving himself right as they walked in seeing some folded clothes draped over a chair. His dressing room was very much like the last one he had been in, though it was a little bigger and the mirrors were placed in a different place.
He walked over to his clothes and picked them up. There was a tight pair or black skinny jeans and a black plain t-shirt, he didnt even bother warning Kurt he just started to pull of his clothes changing into the outfit.
He heard Kurt laugh from behind him. "Am I going to have to get used to you just stripping off?" Kurt asked and he smiled and he let out a small giggled as he pulled the t-shirt over his head.
"Oh yes," he said turning to Kurt with a smirk on his face.
"Have you picked the song that you get to choose to sing tonight?" Kurt asked and he smiled.
"Yeah I have actually and I want you to listen to it intently," he said.
He had finally decided that he wanted to tell Kurt that he had feelings for him, he had told him that he was gay and Jess wasnt his girlfriend and he felt so comfortable when he was around Kurt. He wanted to know of Kurt returned the feelings he had for him and the only way that he would find that out would be to ask.
Once he was dressed and all his stage make-up had been applied it was just about time for him to go on. He felt nervous, not just because the crowd was going to be so big but because he was about to display his feelings to Kurt.
"You ready?" Kurt asked walking towards the dressing room door.
"Yeah," he said taking a deep breath and walking to Kurt who held the door for him.
They both walked towards the stage, he kept his head towards the floor and he felt his hands beginning to shake.
"Are you ok?" Kurt asked and he looked up.
"Yeah Im fine, just a little nervous about the show," he replied and Kurt gave him a small smile.
"Youll be great you always are," Kurt said and he felt his heart jump. This was how he knew he had to do this tonight unless he might chicken out every time.
They stopped at the edge of the stage and he turned to Kurt.
"See you on the other side," he said with a smile pulling Kurt in for a short hug.
"Youll be great!" Kurt repeated.
….
He watched as Blaine pranced about the stage singing the same few songs that he had sang at the first gig.
He had no idea what Blaine was going to sing for his last song but it made him a little nervous considering what Blaine had said in the dressing room, listen intently.
He felt his heart start to beat a little fast as the song approached, the intro to the song started and he recognised the song instantly.
"Oh my god," he said. This couldnt be happening.
You think Im pretty
Without any makeup on
You think Im funny
When I tell the punchline wrong
I know you get me
So I let my walls come down, down
Blaine looked at him and he smiled not quite sure to react.
Before you met me
I was alright but things
Were kinda heavy
You brought me to life
Now every February
Youll be my Valentine, Valentine
Lets go all the way tonight
No regrets, just love
We can dance, until we die
You and I, will be young forever
Blaine started to jump up and down the whole crowd jumping with him. He wasnt sure what Blaine was trying to tell him with this song.
[Chorus:]
You make me feel
Like Im livin a
Teenage dream
The way you turn me on
I cant sleep
Lets run away and
Dont ever look back,
Dont ever look back
My heart stops
When you look at me
Just one touch
Now baby I believe
This is real
So take a chance and
Dont ever look back,
Dont ever look back
His heart was racing by this point, he didnt know it was possible for a heart to beat this fast without it exploding, or maybe it had and he just hadnt noticed. He looked to the floor and then back to Blaine.
We drove to Cali
And got drunk on the beach
Got a motel and
Built a fort out of sheets
I finally found you
My missing puzzle piece
Im complete
Imma get your heart racing
In my skin-tight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight
Let you put your hands on me
In my skin-tight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight
He zoned in and out of the song, thinking of all the messages that could be hidden in the song, but he could find any that made sense.
[Chorus:]
Yoooouuu
You make me feel
Like Im livin a
Teenage dream
The way you turn me on
I cant sleep
Lets run away and
Dont ever look back,
Dont ever look back
No
My heart stops
When you look at me
Just one touch
Now baby I believe
This is real
So take a chance and
Dont ever look back,
Dont ever look back
Imma get your heart racing
In my skin-tight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight
Let you put your hands on me
In my skin-tight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight
(Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight)
The song finished and the crowd cheered and screamed, Blaine thanked them for being here and ran off the stage towards him.
"What did you think?" Blaine asked as they walked toward his dressing room.
"I thought you were great, your voice always amazes me," he replied and Blaine gave in a shy smile.
They reached the dressing room and walked inside before Blaine turned to him.
…..
He made sure that they were alone in his dressing room before turning to Kurt. He had been waiting for this moment for longer than he was willing to admit.
Hed made up a huge speech in his head for this moment but for some reason he couldnt think so he just closed his eyes briefly and took a breath.
He took Kurt by the waist and pulled him forward placing his lip on Kurts, it was amazing, his soft lips felt perfect but after a second he noticed that Kurt wasnt kissing him back.
He opened his eyes and took a step back his hand moving to his mouth.
"Blaine, I-I dont think were ready for this yet," Kurt said and he nodded his hand still over his mouth. Hed messed up the one thing that he hadnt wanted to mess up.
"Im so sorry," he said moving for the door but Kurt caught him by the arm.
"Blaine, you stay, this is your dressing room, Ill wait on the tour bus for you," Kurt whispered looking a little ashamed of himself even though he shouldnt have been, this was his fault.
He nodded not trusting himself to speak and Kurt walked out leaving him alone.
What have I done? He thought a tear running down his face.
….
Kurt walked out of the dressing room and began running down the corridor towards the bus.
He couldnt believe that he had just turned Blaine down but it just didnt feel like Blaine was ready for a relationship and he wasnt ready to hide one.
But the more he thought about it, the more he wished that he had just kissed Blaine back. He liked Blaine enough in that way to try hiding a relationship; he hadnt noticed how strong his feeling were until now and it was too late.
Damn it.
"What have I done?" He said to himself.
