Unconventional Prince Charming
Chapter Nine September 1st Wednesday
A lone figure sat up in the bleachers of the football field staring off towards the sky. He had been sitting there unmoving for several minutes now. He was soon joined by three others, yet he still just sat there staring ahead. One of the them went to sit behind him while the other two sat on either side of him, one farther away than the other. They all sat there quietly for a few moments as the boy didn't acknowledge their presence. The one sitting next to him reached out and grabbed his hand, yet he still didn't move. The boy used his hand to pull him towards him and he went willingly. He fell into his arms with a sob. The person rubbed his back as he let his pent up emotions out. He eventually calmed down and sat up, rubbing at his eyes. “Why is this happening to me?”
EARLIER THAT MORNING
When Kurt got to school that day and made his way to his locker he could feel eyes on him. Sure, he was used to people staring at him since he was the head cheerleader and dating the quarterback, but this felt different. The stares felt judgmental. He shook it off however and kept walking with his head held high. As he reached his locker he noticed Santana standing there sending a glare to anyone who dare look Kurt's way. He sucked in his breath to gain the courage to move forward. She turned his way with a frown. “We need to talk.”
Kurt kept up the allusion of aloofness as he answered, “What about?”
She touched his arm to stop him from rummaging in his locker and made him turn to look at her. “It's about Jade and Quinn.”
Kurt turned to her slowly with sad eyes, gulping as he asked, “What's up Santana?”
Santana sighed as she got ready to tell Kurt the bad news. “Quinn's pregnant, and it's rumored that Jade's the father.”
Kurt's breath hitched as he just stared at Santana for a moment before slamming his locker shut and taking off down the hall. She took off in the other direction in search of Blaine.
She found him at Puck's locker and informed him of that day's events. He told her to just give him some space and that he'd be in class, but after the first two periods of the day came and went and the boy was nowhere to be found, they went on search for him. They found him sitting on the bleachers just staring straight ahead. They approached him cautiously as they sat around him. Puck was the first to venture further and sit behind him. Santana went next and sat by his side. Blaine slowly approached him and sat down right next to him. They gave him a few minutes to acknowledge their presence but he just sat there staring off. He hesitantly reached out to him and placed his hand on his arm, he took it as a good sign when he didn't pull away. He waited a few more minutes before gently pulling on his hand to bring him closer. He came willingly, falling into Blaine's lap as he began crying. Blaine just held him and rubbed his back as he got his tears out. Eventually he sat up and rubbed at his eyes. “Why is this happening to me?”
Blaine just shook his head sadly.
“How can he do this to me! People are already starting to gossip! I have never been more embarrassed. He's made me into the stupid boyfriend who didn't know he had a girl on the side. Now I have to be the idiot that stays with him while he continues to run around on me! I did not work this damn hard to get where I am just for the bullying to start elsewhere! My cheerleaders will never respect me! How am I suppose to face people now. What must they think of me!”
“Who the hell cares!” Blaine yelled out. “Kurt, you can't let him get to you. You have to hold your head high and show people that you are invincible, that's how you will keep the respect of your cheerleaders.”
“He's right you know.” Santana chimed in. “You had your little hissy fit and that's all good but now, you have to go show them what Kurt Hummel's made of.”
Kurt sniffled. “What if I can't do it?”
Blaine just smiled at him as he said one word. “Courage.”
Kurt nodded his head as he dried up the rest of his tears and stood up. “I can do this.”
“Yeah you can!” Puck shouted.
Santana and Kurt entered the building with their heads held high and strutted down the hallway with bitch glares in place. Kurt could feel eyes on the back of his head but with one wink from Blaine he continued on. They were stopped abruptly by Coach Sue who demanded Kurt to follow her to her office. He wasn't feeling so courageous anymore.
When they made it to the office she motioned for him to sit down as she went around the desk and sat in her own chair, leaning back with a contemplative look. After he took a seat she just sat there staring at him for a moment before speaking. “I heard a fascinating rumor this morning.”
Kurt laughed. “I didn't think teachers were all that interested in high school gossip. I mean you must know that more than half of them aren't true.”
“This one happened to catch my attention since it was about one of my cheerleaders.”
Kurt sighed. “Probably just some jealous girl trying to get back at a cheerleader.”
Sue leaned forward on the desk and stared at Kurt menacingly. “Let's cut the chit chat shall we. Is Quinn pregnant or not?”
Kurt closed his eyes as he felt a headache coming on. “I don't know.”
“You're my head cheerleader, it is your job to know! Now get out there and get to the bottom of this. I want an uniform by the end of the day if this is true.”
Kurt nodded his head as he got up and walked out the door.
Kurt reentered the hallways on a mission. He soon zeroed in on Quinn entering the bathroom down the hall. He stormed towards her. He reached the bathroom and went inside. He checked the stalls before locking the door and leaning against it with his arms crossed against his chest. Quinn was at the sink crying softly, as she had been doing all day. He stood watching her for a moment before speaking. “Is it his?”
Quinn scoffed as she took a look in the mirror and wiped at her eyes. “Is that really important right now?”
Kurt laughed at her attempt to maintain the upper hand. “I think you owe me that much.”
Quinn huffed as she slammed her hands down on the sink. “Yes damnit! Are you happy now?”
Kurt laughed humorlessly. “Your predicament gives me no pleasure.”
“Then why are you here!”
“I was sent by Coach Sue.”
Quinn looked at him with wide eyes. “No. No! you can't kick me off the team! Cheerleading is all I have, all I am!”
“Maybe you should of thought about that before lying on your back for someone else's boyfriend. Return the uniform by the end of the day.” Kurt stated before walking out of the room. Quinn started sobbing uncontrollably as she slid down the wall.
Kurt escaped the bathroom while Quinn's sobs followed him into the hallway. He picked his head up as he walked down the hall.
At lunch Kurt escaped to the football field since Quinn came and dragged Jade once again. Kurt just wanted a break from all of the eyes constantly on him. He was currently in his favorite place in the world, Blaine's arms. They were sitting on the ground under the bleachers with Santana and Puck keeping watch. They were in a lip lock and had been for quite some time. Blaine broke the kiss and Kurt hid his face in his neck as he curled up beside him while Blaine rubbed his back. “Would you like to see the guys tonight? Would that make you feel better?”
Kurt shook his head. “I just want to go home, take a bubble bath and go to bed.”
“Your wish is my command.” Blaine whispered as he kissed him on the head. Kurt just curled up further against him with a contented hum.
When Kurt got home that night he told his dad that he wasn't feeling well and was just going to lay down. His dad readily agreed since he had been noticing Kurt's mood changes recently. Carole pushed him upstairs as she promised to bring some soup up later.
When he made it upstairs and to his room he found his tub to be filled with soap and water and lit candles spread out the room. He also found a note on the sink from Blaine telling him to enjoy his bath and he'd be by in a little bit. Kurt shut and locked his bathroom door as he threw his clothes off. He sunk down into the water with a moan. He lay back with his eyes closed as he felt his body relax into the warm water. He hummed in contentment as the sound of music reached his ears and he realized that Blaine had set up his ipod by the sink.
He stayed in the tub until the water cooled off and he was forced out. He dried off and found the pajamas Blaine had set out for him. He couldn't help but smile at how amazing his best friend was.
When he made it back to the room he found Blaine on his bed surrounded by bags of candy. He looked up at him with cheeks filled with candy and smiled. “How was the bath?”
“Amazing.” Kurt gushed. “What's all this?”
“This my dear, is your reward for today. For tonight your just going to let yourself go and enjoy it. Carole also brought you up some soup.” Blaine explained.
Kurt laughed as he climbed onto the bed and wrapped his arms around Blaine. He tackled him with a kiss as a thank you.
They spent the rest of the night pigging out on junk food and watching reality TV, eventually falling asleep around midnight.
