Unconventional Prince Charming
Chapter Three
August 20th Friday
By the time Kurt woke up the next morning Blaine was gone. He felt disappointment feel him as he tried to come up with a reason that Blaine would have just left. He perked up again however when he remembered that it was Friday, meaning no Jade for the whole weekend. Jade only required him to go out on a Friday date night with him and for the rest of the weekend he assumed he was at Quinn's. He quickly dressed and made his way downstairs where he greeted his family excitedly. “What's with you?”
“It's Friday dad.” Kurt said in explanation.
“Do you have plans for the weekend?”
“Other than my date with Jade tonight, I was thinking about going to Westerville tomorrow.” Kurt answered while popping a piece of bread in the toaster.
“What's in Westerville?”
“A mall.” He answered while he got into the cabinet to grab a mug.
“Is anyone going with you?”
“Some friends.” He replied as he filled his mug with coffee.
“Would Blaine be one of these friends?”
“And if was?” He retaliated as he leaned against the counter and sipped on his coffee as he waited for his toast.
“I thought we talked about this kiddo?”
“And I thought that I made it clear that I wasn't going to let anyone dictate who I was friends with.” Kurt answered as he grabbed his piece of toast and started buttering it.
“Are you going to let me meet him?”
“Not while I'm dating Jade.”
“Kid, don't you see how wrong that is?”
“I would love to continue this discussion with you, but I have to get to school. You two have a good time at work and I'll see you after school.” Kurt said leaving the kitchen. He grabbed his book bag from by the front of the door and slammed the door shut behind him.
“That kids going to get himself into trouble and I can't do anything about it.”
“Honey, we have to let them make their own decisions and just let them know that we'll be there when they need us.”
Burt sighed in response.
Blaine woke up around five that morning to find Kurt curled up against him with a smile on his face. He had moved closer to Blaine in his sleep to where he was practically molded into him. He had his face buried in his neck and his lips were firmly pressed to it. He watched him for a little while before slowly moving away from him so as not to disturb him. He took one final look at the sleeping form before escaping out of the window. He figured it would be best if he wasn't there when Kurt woke in case he regretted last night, he didn't think he'd be able to handle that.
Kurt was at his locker later that morning when Jade came up beside him, and leaned on the locker next to his. “It looks like Anderson got some last night.”
“What are you talking about?” Kurt asked looking towards Blaine for a clue as to how Jade could have come up with that conclusion, especially seeing as how he wasn't exactly sure what time he actually left.
“He should really tell those freshman that he has a ‘no marking' rule. Like I do.”
Kurt didn't answer as he slammed his locker door shut before storming down the hallway, right pass Blaine, without saying a word. Blaine watched Kurt pass and totally ignore him while he had his mouth open ready to say hello. He knew last night was a bad idea! He slammed his locker door shut before storming off down the hall in the opposite direction. Jade watched all of this with a smirk on his face.
As he was skipping classes today Blaine was currently under the bleachers getting his smoke on, how Santana liked to put it. He was surprised to see a shadow appear at the side entrance of the bleachers. He watched as the boy came closer until he was leaning on the pole opposite him. He stuck his hand out and Blaine gave up his cigarette to him. The boy drew it to his mouth, puffed on it and blew out a ring of smoke. “Why aren't you wearing a scarf today?”
“Excuse me?”
“You should really tell those freshman not to mark you.”
“I don't see how it's any of your business either way.”
Jade threw down the cigarette and charged towards Blaine. “Now look here, if I find out that thing on your neck was from my boy, he won't be the only one punished next time.”
“Kurt isn't a cheater.”
“Being interested in another guy and befriending him behind my back, is a form of cheating.”
“Why don't you just let him go? You don't really love him?”
“Now that, is none of your business! If you really care about him the way you claim to, you'll stay away, or he'll pay.” Jade threatened before storming off the same way he came.
Kurt was irritated for the rest of the day and was glad it was a day for cheerleading practice. He loved to work out, it always helped relieve stress and right now he was overwhelmed with it. In the gym was where he felt the most in power. Being the head cheerleader had some perks, especially when those perks included being in charge of one Quinn Fabray, boyfriend stealer extraordinaire. Not that he cared about Jade, anymore, but it got under his skin how Jade could have girlfriends and boyfriends alike all across the school, but Kurt so much as looks at another boy and is beaten. He strutted into the gym that day with his head held high. The girls are going to hate me today. Kurt thought with a smile.
He stepped out of the locker room later that afternoon opting out of a shower not wanting to deal with school anymore. He tipped his water bottle to his mouth as he walked across the parking lot and towards his car. He hopped into his car and was at his house a few minutes later. He entered through the front door, throwing his bag to the side as he made his way to the kitchen for a snack. He ate it as he traveled up the stairs on the way to his room. Once he entered his room he kicked his door shut and started removing clothes. He gathered them up, placing them in the hamper as he started the shower. Once he got it to the desired temperature he stepped in.
After washing the dirt and grime off from the day he climbed back out, turning off the water on his way. He grabbed a towel from the rack drying off his body before wrapping it around his hips. He went into his room and straight to his closet to pick out his outfit for the night. He was disturbed a moment later when someone knocked on his window. He quickly went to his dresser and threw on a pair of underwear and an undershirt on before grabbing a pair of sweats that he had stolen from Finn and put them on as he made his way to the window. He was surprised to find Blaine there. All the anger from this morning had come back full force as he threw open the window. He stepped back as Blaine stepped through. Kurt crossed his arms across his chest. “Why did you walk past me this morning without saying anything?”
“I didn't want your new boy toy to get jealous by seeing you talking to another guy, and dump your ass.”
“What happened to not believing the rumors about me Kurt?” Blaine asked harshly.
“Well it's kind of hard when your sporting a fucking hickey!”
“Why do you even care?”
“I, I…”
“I can date whomever I like.”
“Of course you can Blaine. Go out with whomever you like! In fact why don't you go find the fuck buddy that gave you that hickey!”
“It was you!”
“What?” Kurt asked his anger suddenly flagging.
“You did it in your sleep. I woke up this morning with you attached to my neck.”
“Is that why you left?”
“I left because I was afraid that you were going to regret last night, and when you walked past me this morning without a word, I was afraid that my fears had come true.”
“I'm sorry. Jade had pointed out that hickey, and my head went crazy.”
Blaine smiled. “I understand. I go crazy too when I think about you with Jade.”
“I'm sorry I did that to your neck. I can't believe I did that in my sleep.” Kurt said blushing.
“Well just so you know, I don't sleep around. That rumor is untrue.”
“Good to know.”
“You should know that Jade threatened me today. He knows about your interest in me and has made threats towards you if I weren't to stay away.”
“Your not going to let him scare you off are you?”
“Hell no. However, during school we need maintain a low profile.”
“Deal.”
Blaine smirked. “So was Jade right?”
“About what?” Kurt asked confused.
“Your interest in me?”
“Blaine…”
“It's a simple yes or no question Kurt.”
“Nothing about my life is simple Blaine.”
“Make it.” Blaine demanded moving closer. “You know how you feel. Answer the question Kurt.”
“Blaine, I…” Kurt started. He sucked in a breath before holding hid head up and looking Blaine in the eye. “Yes, I'm interested in you.”
Blaine smiled. “I'm interested in you to Kurt.”
“But Blaine, I'm not a cheater. While I'm still with Jade, nothing can happen between us.”
“I respect that. But Jades an ass, and doesn't deserve you!”
“I know I have no right to ask this, but will you wait for you me Blaine?”
Blaine stepped closer to Kurt so that they were near centimeters apart. He grabbed his hands and held them to their sides. “Kurt, I was drawn to you from the moment I first saw you in that hallway. I feel a draw to you that I have never felt with another person. No one will ever compare to you. I, Blaine Anderson, will wait however long I need to, to be with you.”
Kurt choked on a sob as he grabbed Blaine into a hug. “I feel the same way.” He whispered in his ear.
They parted a few minutes later and Kurt went to grab some tissue. When he came back Blaine was still standing by the window. “It's still a little bit before my date so why don't you stick around?”
“I have some things to take care of but I promise to be back later.”
“Okay. I'll be home around eleven.”
“I'll be here.” Blaine promised as he gave him a hug before disappearing out of the window. Kurt smiled because he now had a reason to dress up.
Jade showed up right at nine and honked his horn. Kurt fled down the stairs before his dad could get up and make Jade come in. as he reached the living room and was heading to the door Burt hollered at him as he passed. “Since when does he not come to the door to get you?”
“If we don't hurry we're going to miss our reservation! Bye dad! I'll be home around eleven! Love you!” Kurt yelled as he ran out the door.
“Now that was weird. He's usually for the whole gentlemanly thing.”
“Times are changing Burt.”
They made it to the restaurant ten minutes later and Jade immediately vacated the car. Kurt rolled his eyes as he followed slowly behind. As he entered the restaurant Jade was greeted by his friends that he immediately joined. Kurt was left standing there by himself until one of the cheerleaders noticed him and called him over. Kurt took a seat between Santana and Brittany, who started a conversation with him. Once Brittany got distracted by another boy Kurt let his thoughts wander and they drifted towards a certain curly haired boy. He was brought out of his thoughts as someone nudged his shoulder. “Thinking of a certain curly haired boy?”
“What's it to you?”
“That boy is my best friend, and I'm here to make sure your not leading him on or something.”
“Leading him on?”
“I'm just here to make sure he doesn't get hurt, because if he gets hurt, you get hurt.”
“You can chill Satan, I'm not in this to hurt Blaine. I really care about him.”
Santana studied him for a few minutes before seemingly coming to a conclusion. “Alright Porcelain, your worthy of my help.”
“Thank you Santana.”
“Don't mention it. No really, don't mention it.”
As Kurt went back to the conversation going on between Brittany and another cheerleader Santana turned towards Puck and gave a curt nod. Puck smiled in return before going back to his conversation.
Finally after what seemed like five hours later, but was really only two, Kurt was being dropped off at home. This time Jade didn't even bother walking Kurt to the door. “I'm sure you'd like to give her a ride.” Kurt thought bitterly. Jade had already sped off before Kurt had even made it to the door. He made his way through the front door grumpily and as he made his way past the living room his dad called out to him. “Hey Kurt! How was your date?”
“It was fine dad.”
“That Jade kid still treating you right?”
“No different than usual dad.” It wasn't an out right lie.
“You still liking on him, or are you looking for different prospects? Burt asked out of suspension of Kurt's weird answer and his new ‘friend' Blaine.
“We're fine dad.”
“You know I won't mind if you change boyfriends, unless it's that Blaine kid. Your young kid, it's normal to date around a little, your too young to settle down.”
“And that's my cue to leave.” Kurt said as he turned to leave.
“Kurt!…”
“No dad. I'm not going to stand here and let you talk bad about some one you don't even know!” He threw out before leaving the room. Burt sighed as he sat back in his chair. “Kurt must have real feelings for this Blaine kid if he's going up against me just to be his friend.”
Upon reaching his room he shut and locked his door. He grabbed his phone from his pocket sending a quick text out before throwing it down on his bed. He strolled to his window so that Blaine could come in when he got there. He was surprised however to find Blaine already in the tree. “How long have you been here?”
‘Thirty minutes.' Blaine thought before responding with. “Just got here.”
“Well get in here, it can't be good for your health to sit in a tree for too long.”
‘You have no idea.'
Once Blaine was inside Kurt had run into his arms and was hugging him furiously. “Not that I don't like this greeting, what was that for?” Blaine laughed.
“I missed you.” Kurt shrugged in response as he let him go.
“It was only a couple of hours Kurt.”
“Still.”
“How'd the date go?”
“Same as always. Date with all of the friends there. I did have an interesting conversation with Santana however.”
“Oh really.” Blaine replied nonchalantly. He knew something like this was going to happen when he asked for Santana's help.
“Yeah. I think she was sizing me up.”
“Hmm, how'd you do?”
“Apparently I passed because she said that I was worthy of her help.”
Blaine laughed. “That sounds like Santana.”
“She really cares about you.”
“She's one of my closest friends, her and Puck.”
“I figured. I'm glad you have someone like that to look after you.” Blaine nodded.
“Well, enough of this sentimental crap. You want to watch a movie or something?”
Kurt laughed. “I'll go make the popcorn. The movies are in the bookshelf in the corner, knock yourself out.” Before leaving the room and shutting the door behind him.
Blaine moved to the bookshelf to peruse it for a movie. He took his time looking over all of the trinkets and pictures Kurt had placed on it since Kurt would be a moment downstairs.
When Kurt entered the kitchen he was surprised to find his dad sitting there. “Hey kid, I'm glad you decided to come back down. I need to talk to you.”
“If it's about Blaine, I don't want to hear it.” Kurt responded as he dug the popcorn kernels out of the cabinet.
“I was wrong.”
“What?” Kurt asked turning around, surprise evident on his face.
“I was the one who taught you not to judge a book by it's cover and I've been doing just that. I guess I should take my own advice every once in awhile.”
“Thank you dad.”
“I would still like to meet this kid.”
“That's not going to happen.” Kurt sighed as he went back to making his popcorn.
“And why not!”
“You know why dad.”
“Which brings me to my next concern. I know your young kid but you should have enough respect for you relationship to not be going behind Jade's back to befriend someone.”
“Jade doesn't know Blaine like I do dad, I'm just trying to expand my horizons.”
“There's a difference in befriending someone in a totally platonic way and befriending someone because you might have feelings for them.”
“You have no idea what your talking about dad.” Kurt muttered as he grabbed a bowl from the cupboard to put his popcorn in.
“You forget that I know you.”
“Can we not talk about this?”
“Just let me say one more thing and then I'll let you go watch your movie. I just want you to think about some things. Jade is your first boyfriend. You've had a lot of firsts with him. I want you to think long and hard if giving all of that up for another guy is going to be worth it. I mean, what is it about this Blaine kid that even has you questioning your relationship, you seemed pretty happy before he came along.”
“Blaine is different dad.” Kurt sighed. “He makes me feel different. He actually listens to me. We have tons in common. He's cute.”
“Just think about it before you doing anything about Jade. I do think you owe it to Jade to talk to him about your problems before you do anything drastic.”
“Thank you dad. You always give the best advice.” Kurt smiled before leaving the kitchen with his popcorn.
“The question isn't my advice, it's whether your going to take it or not.”
When Kurt returned upstairs it was to find Blaine setting up his laptop on his bed. He shut and locked the door as he made his way inside and to the bed. He set the popcorn bowl in the middle of the bed as he climbed in. Blaine grabbed a handful as he pushed play and sat back against the pillows. He handed Blaine a soda before sitting back against the pillows as well. They passed the coke back and forth through out the movie as they munched on the popcorn. They made it halfway through the movie before Kurt ended up falling asleep. When Blaine looked over to find him asleep he smiled. He turned down the movie as he continued to watch and munch on popcorn. When the movie ended he sat the laptop to the side along with the bowl and empty soda can. He lay on his side facing Kurt as he fell asleep also.
