On sunday morning, Kurt is absentmindedly pushing his breakfast around his plate for a long while now, earning some questioning glances from Carol and Finn but no one voices them until his dad suddenly drops his paper next to his plate and says, "You alright there kiddo? It's been a while since we found you to be this quiet and absent while we're eating. You didn't even comment on me eating a second of bacon a few minutes ago." The man smirks a little, knowing that'll at least get some reaction from his son."What? Dad!" Kurt snaps his head up towards his smirking father, "You know you shouldn't even eat that, let alone seconds." "Easy there tiger, I was just messing with ya!" Burt rolls his eyes before looking back at his son, his eyes intently staring at Kurt. "But really, what's going on?""Ha, I bet it's because he has to keep working with that Blaine guy, Mister goody two shoes like Kurt calls him!" Finn suddenly blurts out before practically shovelling the rest of his food in his mouth. "Oh shut up, and eat like a normal person instead of a caveman, will you!" Kurt snaps back and pushes his own plate away. "Blaine has nothing to do with it, I'm just tired okay." He doesn't wait for any response of any of the other's in the kitchen and stands up, pushing back his chair as he practically stomps out of the kitchen and up to his room again.
Once he's back in his room, he lets himself fall back down on his bed, face buried in his pillow as he groans. Though Finn wasn't right at his assumption, he did struck a nerve by just mentioning Blaine, even if he didn't know it. Rolling over on his back Kurt takes his phone, unlocks his screen and stares at it, his thumb hovering over Blaine's name in his phonelist. Eventually he just locks his screen again and sighs, dropping the phone on his chest as he closes his eyes, scowling to himself, 'You shouldn't even care if he calls or not, it's not like you're together.' Adding to himself with a grimace, 'Who are you kidding? You've fallen for the kid from the first time you really looked at him.'"Shit!" he almost shouts to his empty room as he gets startled by his phone buzzing on his chest and all but leaps out of bed, making the device tumble nearly to the floor. Without checking the caller-id, Kurt picks up, "Hi.""Euhm, hi Kurt." he hears Blaine softly speaking and then nothing anymore. Kurt frowns, as he takes a seat again, starting to talk himself then, "Blaine, I'm so glad to hear you. Well, I just ..." he sighs and runs his hand through his hair, "I was just a bit worried since I didn't hear anything from you anymore after I missed your calls on friday night. Are you okay?"A long silence follows, at some point Kurt isn't even sure Blaine is still on the other side of the line and he silently asks, "Blaine, are you still there? You're not okay, are you?"It's then that he notices the heavier breathing on Blaine's side, sounding like he's trying to hold in tears too and Kurt might be a self proclaimed hard ass who gets what he wants and doesn't take others in consideration with it, but right now he just wants the other boy to be right beside him. His mind is sending conflicting thoughts all the while, going from 'Hummel, just hang up and let him be!' to 'Just ask him to meet up, and do what you've been thinking about for so long!'But before he even has the chance to say anything, Blaine speaks again, his voice soft, "I just thought, ... if you want, maybe we can work on our essay and hang out today?"Kurt's stomach swoops for a moment before rolling his eyes at himself, and answers, "Yeah, sure, it's sunday anyway so not much to do right now. You want to come over here?""Euhm, no." Blaine answers, still as silently as before but then all but exclaims, "No, I mean ..." a short pause and then he starts again, "No, I thought maybe you'd want to meet up somewhere with me? You got a pen and paper, I'll give you the adress.""Yeah, sure." Kurt grabs his notepad from his desk and scribbles down the adress Blaine gives him before they agree on an hour and say their goodbyes.
After he hung up, Kurt can't help but keep looking over at the adress on the notepad, it's a bit towards the edge of the town, in the more upscale neighbourhood of Lima, a completely different place than where he lives right into the small city. He shrugs, putting his phone on the paper and turns towards his closet, starting to rummage through it's contents. After a little while Kurt pulls out a tight black jeans and a dark grey sweater with zippers over the sleeves. He knows he should just dress comfortable but these are as comfortable as they get in an outfit that serves to go out in, Kurt isn't one to slouch off in sweats and a ragged shirt if he doesn't stay inside all day. And well, if he knows the pants might hug his ass to perfection and the suggestive glance the collar of the sweater gives, who can blame him.They're supposed to meet up in an hour and half and he still has an hour to drive towards the place of meeting, but refusing to show up late he grabs his keys after telling his dad that he's going to work on their project with Blaine. Burt at that time quirked a curious eyebrow as he said to enjoy himself and not to work too hard either, surprised by the smile that was gracing Kurt's lips when he said where he was going. Mulling over Finn's earlier statement, Burt shook his head, realizing that what he'd said at breakfast couldn't be further from the truth. He knows his son, and even if he might not want to admit it, Burt knows and sees it all too clearly when Kurt has started falling for a boy, and he'll be damned if this wasn't one of those times.For a moment before turning away, Kurt just looked at his father in question, waiting for something to come by the look on Burt's face, but the latter just waved him off and turned back to reading his paper in his recliner.
So now Kurt is following the last few directions of his gps, turning into the street where the place should be a bit down the road. The houses are all huge here, large grounds around them, and not too many of them by the looks of it. 'A typical rich neighbourhood. Figures!' Kurt sighs, shaking his head slightly as he thinks back on what Blaine had said about his parents just kicking him out when they found out he was gay. He startles a little when his gps announces he's at the right place and he slowly turns on the driveway, finding a large gate, a few meters away from the road, though it's closed now. Kurt squints his eyes at the number, checking if he's really at the right place and when he sees he is, parks the car and shuts off the engine. He leans back in his seat, wondering why on earth Blaine would want to meet up here. Guessing that this is his parent's place but seeing he hasn't heard of them taking Blaine back in their house, Kurt's a bit confused as to the why he's here exactly. Glancing at his clock on the dashboard, he notices he's still more than 15 minutes early so he just rest his head back against the seat and closes his eyes for a moment. It doesn't take long though until he his attention is pulled by someone tapping against the window, looking to his left now to find Blaine standing there and gesturing for him to open the window. Kurt does and stares at him questioningly, wondering what's going to happen but also happy and relieved that he finally sees him again."Park a bit out of sight around there," Blaine nods towards a small place underneath a few treas on side of the road, "I'll wait here." Nodding Kurt starts the engine again and quickly parks his car where Blaine told him, within a few minutes walking towards where the other boy is standing, his hands in his pockets and staring into the distance towards the other way.
Closing the distance between them completely, his eyes wander over Blaine's features, noticing he looks even more tired than ever and a sad glance in his eyes. When the boy turns to Kurt though, he schools his features the best he can, but not enough for him not to see it still. "Blaine?" Kurt starts softly, reaching out his hand to touch Blaine's forearm but thinking better of it in the end and just dropping his hand back to his side where he circles his fingers around the strap of his bag. "What are we doing here? Where are we exactly?"A soft smile plays on Blaine's lips now as he looks up and into Kurt's eyes, the smile not reaching his eyes though. "I want to show you something, if you let me? I know how I've been acting ... I'm sorry I just ..." He sighs and looks to the gate for a moment before he adds, "I just want to show you something, that's all."Kurt quirks an eyebrow at the boy standing in front of him but nods nevertheless and follows Blaine along the gate and the fence until they round the corner. "How's your climbing skills?" Blaine asks out of the blue and Kurt chokes out a stunned laugh. "Almost non-existent." he shakes his head as he looks at the other incredulously. "You want me to climb over that fence? Really?"Shrugging, Blaine replies quickly, "Well, you don't have to but ... Never mind, this was stupid, let's just go back." he adds and starts to walk around Kurt in a hurry."Hey!" Kurt reaches out and grabs Blaine's wrist, tugging him quickly to a halt again, "I could use some help, you know." He smiles brightly at Blaine as their eyes lock and he feels his heart speeding up in his chest. Blaine's breathing hitches for a moment, feeling Kurt's fingers around his wrist, his hold a bit tighter than you would expect as he keeps looking into the other guy's eyes. It seems like an eternity they just stand there, gazes on each other, Kurt's fingers still firmly in place and Blaine breathes out slowly now, finally dropping his eyes to their hands. Kurt quickly pulls away and suddenly notices the light blush that crept onto Blaine's cheeks and can't help but think he looks adorable right now. "Come on, help me over." he shakes his head smiling and both walk over to the fence again, Blaine hesitantely helping Kurt over before jumping over himself.
