When The City Turns Dark

Part Two

Soon enough, the bell yelled that it was time for lunch. Kurt sat next to Rachel in the cafeteria, joining in on the conversation that more or less only included one person. Oh yes, Rachel was yapping on about Nationals, once again. He sat with a bored facial expression, along with the rest of the club. They sighed as Rachel told them why it was best for the team to give herself the solo.

Sometimes, Kurt wished the girl had an off switch.

Kurt let his mind wander. He had to come up with a plan. Nightbird had to be stopped, everyone was tired of the 'and they all lived happily ever after' story. The 'prince slays the dragon'. The 'Superhero defeats the Villain'. Ha! Well, not this time, Bird.

His thought were interrupted by someone sitting between him and Mike.

"Hey, Kurt." Blaine said enthusiastically as he placed his tray of food in front of him.

"Hi Blaine." Kurt grinned. Blaine's presence always made him happy. He grabbed Blaine's hand under the table, linking their fingers together.

Blaine smiled softly, he adored it when Kurt held his hand. It made him feel connected.

Blaine picked up his fork to eat his pasta. Kurt watched Blaine chew on the food with a loving gaze. Sauce from the pasta splattered onto Blaine's cheek and Kurt giggled. He grabbed a tissue from Rachel's tray and leaned over to wipe Blaine's cheek with it. The two forgot where they were due to the fact that they couldn't look away from each other's eyes, that they hadn't realised that the rest of the table was silently watching them.

"Will you two cut it out? You're putting me off my food with all your cuteness." Mercedes remarked with a smirk.

Kurt and Blaine blushed furiously and looked away from each other whilst the others chuckled and resumed their conversations. Blaine squeezed Kurt's hand.

Kurt loved days like this.

Blaine stood at his locker, getting his coat. School had just let out so the students were now free to go home. Blaine looked at the photographs of Kurt and himself that were stuck on the inside of his locker door. He smiled softly at them before closing it. The locker door clicked shut just as Kurt approached his own locker. Blaine walked towards him and wrapped his arms around Kurt from behind.

"Hi." He whispered into Kurt's ear. Kurt giggled before turning around in Blaine's grip.

"Well, hello to you too." Kurt smiled and looked down, making him look just adorable.

"What are you doing tonight? I was thinking that you could come over to my place. We could look at Vogue and then we could watch Project Runway?" Blaine asked hopefully.

Kurt nodded. "Okay." He said excitedly. But Kurt then remembered that he had to plan The Llamanator's next move. "I can. But, I can't stay long."

Blaine frowned. "Why?"

"I have to umm...HOMEWORK! I have homework." He tried.

"Why don't you just bring your books over to my house and we can do our homework together?" Blaine suggested.

Kurt sighed. "Not tonight, honey." Blaine pouted cutely. Kurt leaned forward to kiss away Blaine's bulging lips. He didn't have to worry about if anyone saw, most of the other students had already left the school. "But, I can come over for a few hours."

Blaine grinned before entwining his hands with Kurt's and leaving the hallway to head over to his house.

Kurt hovered over Blaine, sucking a large red mark into Blaine's neck. Blaine was groaning softly with pleasure. They were meant to be watching Project Runway, but they'd soon become too interested in each other's bodies to continue watching it.

"Kurt.." Blaine whispered into Kurt's now not so perfectly coiffed hair. Kurt pulled his mouth away from Blaine's flesh, showing his swollen, ruby red lips.

"We should cool off." Kurt breathed. He snuggled into Blaine's side, letting Blaine wrap his arms around his lover.

Blaine smiled at Kurt." You're so adorable." Kurt blushed and hid his face in Blaine's arm. "See, that's adorable."

"Stop it, Blaine."

"What? I'm serious!" Blaine grinned. Kurt shook his head in disagreement, but the smile he was wearing told Blaine that he was correct. "I love you, Kurt."

"I love you too."

The two boys lay there on the bed for what seemed like an hour until Kurt suddenly shot up.

"Oh my God! What time is it?"

"Umm..." Blaine glanced at his alarm clock. "Half past nine. Why?" Blaine asked curiously.

"I've got to go! I have to do my homework!" Kurt stood and shoved his boots on in a panic.

"Hey Kurt.." Blaine stood and hugged Kurt, comforting him. "Relax, okay?"

Kurt breathed out. "Okay, I still have to go though."

"Okay." Kurt pecked Blaine on the lips. "I'll see you tomorrow."

"You too."

Once Kurt had left, Blaine had nothing else to do. He sat on the edge of his bed, watching as the 21 switched to 22 on the alarm clock. He sighed and stood, walking towards to the window. Blaine opened the window and smiled as the cold air of the night smaked him in the face.

Blaine turned to his bed once more and crouched down. He reached under the bed and pulled out a box. Blaine opened the box to see his Nightbird uniform. Not a costume.

Blaine switched outfits in an impressive speed and jumped out of the window, ready to explore the night.

He had no idea that Kurt was doing exactly the same thing.
