The next morning Kurt awoke with a scream, he sat up and held onto his chest, panting and sweating, but it wasn't the pleasure kind, it was the fear kind. Tears started to well up in his eyes, and soon they were falling down his face. He buried his face into his hands and begin to sob. Great he thought, another bad dream.
Why do these keep happening? I thought i was safe here, i feel safe. Or am i just imagining it? I know what happened yesterday was bad, but it was nobodys fault, why do i keep beating myself up about it? I shouldn't of followed him, why did he have to hurt me?, thank god Blaine showed up on time.
I know i put on a brave face infront of Blaine, but the thing is, i'm terrified. I don't want him to feel bad, i trust him, and i like him. Wait, what? I can't like him, he's just a cool guy who has helped me and agreed for me to live with him, and i don't even know if he's gay. Does he even like me back? I'm so confused and alone, Blaine is great to hang out with and i can't wait to learn more about him but, i wish there was other people i could talk to apart from Blaine.
Kurt was suddenly dragged out of his thaughts by a knock on his bedroom door, he coverd himself up a little more before shouting for whoever to come in. Probably Blaine, who else?
Just as he thought, Blaine popped his head through the crack in the door. "Kurt?, are you ok? I heard you scream" He walked slowly over to Kurt and sat on the end of the bed.
"Y-yea i'm fine. Just another bad dream" He ducked his head and fiddled with the edge of the covers.
"Another one? I thought they stopped" Blaine said, furrowing his eyebrows in confusion.
"Me too, but i guess they didn't" He sighed and bit his lip to stop himself from crying again.
"Do you want to talk about it?" Blaine asked, raising his eyebrows in question and turning so he was sat crossed legged across from Kurt on his bed.
"I don't know.." Kurt shuffled so he was facing Blaine and finally looked up.
"Hey" Blaine took Kurts hand and squeezed it in reasurance. "I'm here, i'll listen"
Kurt felt a rush of warmth at Blaines touch and smiled lovingly at him. He took a deep breath and reluctantly began to talk about his nightmare.
"It's just basically the same as the others i sometime have, but my parents were invloved" Blaine nodded in understanding and gestured for Kurt to carry on. "I remember when i was a youngster, i would be gliding through the sky with my friends and family, looking down onto earth and always imagining what it would be like down here, but i never thought i'd spend the rest of my days here, living a short human life instead of a stars eternal one"
"You mean, you could see earth from up there?"
"Yea, but anyway. I dremt about my parents, that i would never see them again and they didn't even care. I dreamt that they were the ones that called 'The Takers' and told them to come and get me, they didn't love me or care for me, and i felt like i treated them bad, and now i'm never going to see them again" Kurt buried his head back into his hands and let out a little cry. "It's all my fault, if i just got married everything would be ok, but it's not. I feel so selfish"
Blaine quickly shuffled over to the other side of the bed and held Kurt close. "Hey, shhh. Nothings your fault ok? You wern't ready to get married, nobody can force this on you. You didn't make these stupid rules up, The Gaurdian did, and rules are made to be broken right?"
Kurt let out a sigh and lifted his head up from his hands, looking at Blaine with tear stained cheeks and tearful human eyes. "Your right, i'm sorry, i guess i'm just feeling a little home sick"
Blaine nodded and held Kurt a little tighter. "So, what do you want to do today?"
He shrugged. "I don't know"
Blaine smirked and stood up from where he was sitting next to Kurt and turned to him. "Well i have an idea, there's this new place thats opened up a few blocks away, wanna go check it out?"
Kurt lifted his head and looked at Blaine, frowning. No he thought, i can't keep self pitying myself, Blaines trying to cheer me up, i'm not going be selfish. "Sure" he replied, smiling.
"Great, i'll go downstairs and fix up somthing to eat, do you want anything?" Blaine asked, heading towards the door.
"I'm good, i'm not really sure i've gotten used to eating yet, it feels so weird"
Blaine laughed a little. "I'm sure you'll get used to it" and with that, he closed the door and headed downstairs to the kitchen. He flicked the coffee maker on and headed back upstairs to get changed. As he passed Kurts bedroom door he heard a sound, he walked closer and placed his ear near the door. Someone was singing. Kurt was singing, oh my god he sounds breath taking.
Blaine stood there and listened intently, trying to figure out what he was singing, he didn't recognize it, maybe it was something that only Kurt had heard before. His voice was angelic, it was smooth and high pitched and sent shivers down Blaines spine. He laughed quietly when he heard him forget the words and mutter something under his breath.
Blaine didn't know how long he had been standing outside Kurts door for, but he never wanted to leave, he had begun singing again, but it was a different song this time and it was even better than the last. Before he knew it, the door opened and he was faced with a rather confused looking Kurt.
"Hi.."
Blaine coughed a little, looking anywhere but at Kurt. "Hi.."
"What are you doing standing outside my room?" He asked, rasing an eyebrow in question.
"N-nothing" He finally looked and him and saw that he was smiling a little.
"Were you listening to me singing?" His face dropped a little and soon he looked pretty worried.
Realization kicked in and Blaine had been caught, but he couldn't give in that easily. "No, i was just, umm, walking by and i saw a mark on your door. I was trying to get it off, now where was it.." He began to look over at Kurts door, hoping that this plan worked, he didn't want him to think that he was some freak who liked to listen in on what Kurt was doing.
"Right..."
Kurt was now dressed, his hair was perfectly styled as always and his outfit made Blaines mouth go dry once again this week. He coughed nervously and headed back to his own room, mumbling something that Kurt couldn't quite make out.
When they were both finally downstairs, both dressed and ready for the day Blaine told Kurt where he would be taking him.
"A Roller Ring?" Kurt asked, eyes wide with suprise and confusion. "Whats a Roller Ring?"
"It's just a little place where you skate, Wes and David went and they said it was pretty good, and besides it will take your mind off things"
"But Blaine, i don't even know how to roller skate"
"I'll teach you, come on, it'll be fun. I won't leave your side unless you want me to, i promise" Blaine looked into Kurts eyes as he said those last words, Kurt blushed and looked away.
"Ok i'll go"
Blaines smile grew wider and he fist pumped the air, Kurt laughed a little and watched him lovingly. "But if i come home with any bruises then i'm going to have to give you some in return" and with that, they headed out to the Roller Ring, both smiling and brushing shoulders a little as they walked to the car.
The car drive was silent, but it wasn't an awkward silence, it was a comfortable one.
Kurts jaw dropped as they walked in, he looked around the building with a shocked look on his face. "Blaine i think you misunderstood the fraise 'little place' it's huge, a guy could get lost in here"
Suprisingly, Blaine had the same expression plastered on his face as Kurt, he had never been to this place before, he had only heard about it from Wes and David, but Kurt was right, the place was massive. There were tables and chairs surrounding the ring with a bar standing on the left hand side. There were disco lights shining onto the floor and music playing in the background, it was pretty busy, but most of the people were at the bar, the ring was near enough empty.
They went to collect their skates and headed to the nearest empty chair to put them on.
"Do you think this is a good idea?" Kurt asked, tying the laces on his skates.
"Of course, i mean it's not that busy and it would be a perfect excuse to know eachother more, and besides i happen to be a great roller skating teacher" Blaine smirked and stood up, he then held out his hand for Kurt to take.
"You won't let me fall right?" The taller boy asked, taking Blaines hand.
"I'll try my best"
Blaine led him into the ring and let Kurt hold onto the edge while he took him round. Kurt was suprisingly good a skating, he knew what to do with his feet and soon he didn't have to use the side anymore, Blaine was suprised, this was Kurts first time after all. Or wasn't it?
"Wow"
"What?" Kurt asked, turning his head to face Blaine.
"Your actually really good, like really, really good" The shorter boy chuckled a little while still holding on to Kurts hand as he guided him.
"It feels just like flying" He said simply, shrugging his shoulders a little and facing forwards again.
"It does?"
"Yea, it's kind of hard to explain, but i actually really like it. Why didn't you tell me about this sooner?"
"Hey, don't blame me, blame the boys"
Kurt laughed a little and soon Blaine was beginning to pull him a little faster. "Are you ready to go by yourself?"
"I think so" Kurt began to push a little harder, Blaine reluctantly let go of Kurts hand and watched him skate infront of him with a smile.
"Your doing it!" He shouted, going a little faster so he could catch up with him.
Kurt wabbled a little but he soon gained control of his balance again and smiled as he saw Blaine skating next to him.
They carried on skating around, talking about little things for a while before they both needed a drink, they slowed down and headed towards the bar. They both orderd a drink and stood at the bar for a while. Kurt started to feel a little uncomftable when more and more people came to the bar and started to crowd around them.
Blaine must of felt it because soon he felt a strong arm curl around his waist, he looked over to the shorter boy and blushed when they locked eyes. Kurt leaned a little more on Blaine so there sides were flush together, he mumbled a 'thank you' to him and was answerd with a kiss on the forehead.
It was weird how everything could change so fast when he was with Blaine, they could be joking around, acting like friends with no feeling for eachother what so ever, but then all of a sudden they could be caught staring deeply into eachothers eyes and wrapped around eachother like they were now. Kurt secretly loved it, and he never wanted it to end.
Drinks were long finished by now and now they were skating around the ring once again enjoying eachothers company. Blaine didn't need to hold his hand because he was compleatly able to skate by himself now, but he really, really wanted to.
"I'm going to teach you a trick" Blaine said simply, grinning over at Kurt who was looking at him questioningly.
"As long as it doesn't involve any lifts or anything, i'm up for it"
Blaine laughed and sped up his skating, with a little flip of his heels he began skating backwards facing Kurt.
"Oh my god, how did you do that? That's awesome!" Kurts face lit up and he was staring at Blaine in wonder.
"Just a little something" Blaine shrugged, still skating backwards and staring at him.
"But how do you know where your going? You can't see anything unfront of you" By this time, Kurt was right infront of Blaine, skating forwards while Blaine was skating backwards, people were starting to stare in amazement.
"It takes a lot of practice, that's why i could help teach you now, and maybe when we come again you would be able to do it" He smirked and held out his hand once again for Kurt to take.
Kurt took it without no hesitation and smiled. "Ok, teach me"
Blaine started to explain to Kurt what to do with your feet to get them to turn, and how to move your legs in time. He demonstrated a little and blushed as he felt Kurts eyes all over him. People were definatly staring now, some out of curiosity and wonderment, but others were staring because they had never seen two boys interact like Kurt and Blaine did. But neither of them cared, they were too happy.
"Do you think you could give it a go?" Blaine asked, skating slowly behind Kurt.
"I'll try" Kurt was also skating slowly, trying to remember all the things Blaine had told him about keeping his balance.
"Ok, i'll be right behind you"
Kurt felt two hands hold both sides of his hips, his eyes widened as his body tingled at the touch and he felt his heart race. He wished Blaine could hold him like this more often.
"Are you ready?" He heard Blaine ask, his voice so close to his ear he felt shivers.
Kurt just nodded and started to speed up and so did Blaine, he took a deep breath. I can do this, i won't make a fool out of myself, i won't.
"3"
"2"
"1"
Kurt flicked his heel and spun his legs around, Blaines hands were guiding him all the way. He was half way there when he caught his back wheel on his lace and tumbled over, sending Blaine down with him. They both fell backwards, Blaine falling onto the floor and Kurt landing on top of him with a thud.
"Umphh"
"Oh my god, i'm so sorry Blaine, are you hurt?" Kurt tried to get off him but he was having no such luck, his wheels kept slipping. He looked down at Blaine, and thats when he noticed that he was laughing.
"What?" Kurt smirked and blushed a deep red when he noticed Blaines hands were still somehow on his waist.
"Nothing, it's just, you nearly had it!" Blaine said, giggling.
Kurt chuckled a bit and agreed. "Well, like you said, i do need a lot of practice"
Both boys had only just noticed how close their faces actually were, Blaine could feel Kurts breath on his lips, and he loved it. They both lay there, staring deep into eachothers eyes, tangled up on the floor, not noticing the looks they were attracting from the other skaters.
Just a few more inches closer and his lips would be on mine Blaine thought, and god did he want it.
He's so beautiful, i don't want to move. Oh god, he's moving closer, is he going to kiss me? Please say he's going to kiss me Kurts head was racing with thoughts.
This is it, i'm going to do it, i want to, i need to. Just as Blaine was about to close the gap between their faces, he heard someone clear their throat above them.
"Excuse me boys, sorry to brake it to you but we're about to close" A young woman with long red hair was standing over them with a smirk on her face.
Both boys snapped out of their trance and quickly helped eachother up, blushing deeply and not making eye contact. The girl watched them with an eyebrow raised, but her mouth was curved up in a kind smile. At least there are some non homophobic people in this place Blaine thought.
They both mumbled their apaoligies, collected their belongings and headed back towards Blaines car while not saying a word, Kurt was the one to brake the awkward yet comfortable silence.
"I could have done it if my lace didn't come loose"
Both of them laughed and soon the situation at the Roller Ring was soon forgotten and they fell into a comfortable conversation. But neither of them knew that none of them had forgotten about it, neither of them wanted to forget about it, maybe it would happen again sometime, but with no inturruptions would be nice.
