Chapter 14: It’s Friday
Kurt was sitting next to Mercedes in glee club on Friday while Mr.Schue was arguing with Rachel about her solo…again. Not that he was listening at all, he was too busy thinking about his weekend with Blaine. He missed Blaine more and more each day, he’s trying to get used to not seeing him everyday but it’s hard. His thoughts were interrupted when the bell rang. Mercedes followed him to his locker and said “Okay Kurt. You were totally out of it in Glee. What’s going on?”
He shrugged. “Nothing, just thinking about this weekend is all.”
She chuckled “Oh so in other words you’ve been day dreaming about Blaine as usual.”
He nodded “Basically.”
She smiled “You really love him don’t you?”
He looked at Blaine’s picture in his locker and smiled at her “Yeah, I really do.”
She smiled “I’m glad you found someone as amazing as him. But listen, I’ve gotta go. I need to get my dress with Mercedes. Before you say anything I will send you a picture of the dress.”
He chuckled “You know me so well. I’ll see you later.”
She smiled and walked away. Luckily Kurt only had French homework that would literally take him five minutes, so he could spend the whole weekend with Blaine. He closed his locker and drove home. He went straight to his room and began his homework so he’d be free to just be with Blaine when he got there at 5. As he was finishing conjugating the last sentence he heard a knock at his door. He didn’t even look up and said “Come in Finn.”
His door opened and he asked “What do you want Finn?”
“Finn? Try again babe!”
He looked up and saw Blaine and smiled. He ran and threw his arms around him. Blaine chuckled “Hi, what did you miss me or something?”
He laughed “Yeah, I did.”
Blaine kissed him softly “I missed you too.”
He smiled “I didn’t expect you to be here until five.”
Blaine chuckled he loved surprising him. “Well, I convinced Wes that because we lost Reigonals, a three hour rehearsal for a nursing home wasn’t really necessary.”
He shook his head “So, you decided to surprise me eh?”
Blaine nodded “Yep.”
He placed his hand on Blaine’s cheek “I missed you so much.”
Blaine sighed “I missed you too.” Blaine kissed his lips softly. He hated not being able to do this every day.
Kurt parted from the kiss when he heard the front door close and Finn yell “Kurt! I’m home!”
He sighed and said “Okay Finn!”
Blaine smiled “It’s okay, we’ve got all weekend.”
He nodded “Yeah, we better go downstairs so Finn doesn’t shoot us.”
Blaine chuckled and nodded. They went downstairs holding hands smiling. Finn was in the living room and looked up. “Oh hey! Blaine, I didn’t know you were gonna be here.”
He shook his head “Yes Finn. You did, I told you he was last night.”
Finn sighed “Oh yeah…So are you spending the weekend?”
He nodded “Yep, I haven’t seen him since Wednesday so.”
Finn nodded “Yeah, it must be hard, being away from your boyfriend all the time.”
He nodded “You have no idea! Being away from Kurt, is the hard. But I think saying goodbye to him the other day when I sang to him was hardest, I felt really really bad that I wasn’t there to see him off.”
Kurt sighed “Blaine, it’s okay, you don’t need to feel bad about that. I understand, you needed to bring James to the airport.”
He smiled “Thanks, Kurt.”
Finn chuckled. They looked at him puzzled and Kurt asked “What’s so funny?”
Finn shook his head. “Nothing. You guys are just so adorable.”
Kurt shook his head. “Okay…”
Finn sighed “So Blaine, are you excited to be going to Prom?”
He smiled and said after a moment “Yeah, I am.”
Kurt smiled and said “Yeah he’s gonna perform too.”
He looked at Kurt and said “Speaking of Prom…what are we doing for tuxes?”
Kurt smiled and said “Oh, well I’ll show you.” Kurt walked out of the room and upstairs.
He looked at Finn and asked “Um, do you have any idea what he’s planning?”
Finn chuckled “Dude, I’m his brother and I never know what’s going on in his head. So your guess is as good as mine.”
He sighed “So do you think it’s cool if I jam with you guys at prom?”
Finn nodded “Yeah totally!”
Burt walked in the house and said “Good news boys!” He hung-up his jacket and continued “My buddy Enzo from the tux rental shop is giving you half off.”
Finn smiled “Sweet!”
Burt walked over to them and asked “Yeah, what are you gonna go with?”
He looked at Finn and said “I’m going simple, Black, thin lapel collar very discrete.”
Burt smiled “You know what I wore to my prom? I wore a powder blue tux with a ruffled shirt and a big blue bowtie, I looked like Tony Orlando.
He had no idea who that was and asked “Was that a designer?”
Burt sat down on his leather chair and said “No.”
Kurt walked back into the room wearing a blue and green plaid kilt a unique black jacket and a bowtie and said “No need for half off my outfit!”
Burt chuckled “Because half of it is already off?”
Kurt looked at his dad and said “My ensome is an homage to the recent royal wedding…and the late Alexander McQueen. I had to make it myself.”
He looked at Kurt smiling, thinking “Why am I not surprised that he’d end up making his outfit.”
Kurt sighed “There’s simply nothing off the rack that’s suitable for the young fashionable man in Ohio.”
Finn smiled and said “Dude, that rocks it’s like Gay Brave Heart.”
Kurt did a little twirl and said “Thank you.”
Burt put down the mail he was reading and said “I don’t like it.”
Kurt smiled “Well of course you don’t like it, it’s not finished yet!”
Kurt walked down to Blaine and said “I think it still needs like a sash or some beads around it.”
Burt put the mail on the coffee table and said “I’m not gonna stop you from wearing it but I gotta be honest, I think you’re trying to stir the pot a little bit, I think you want some attention.”
Kurt sighed his dad always pointing out the obvious “Exactly! What’s the point of dressing up? I mean that’s why some guys wear the tails and the top hats and the girls wear the hoop skirts.”
He looked at Blaine and said “Blaine help me out here please?”
He sighed “I think you your dad has a point Kurt.”
Kurt looked at him surprised that he’s taking his father’s side.
He continued “I-I think what he’s trying to say is that, well we just don’t want to give anybody a reason to cause any trouble.”
Burt nodded and said “There’s a lot of bad people out there Kurt, they’re a lot worse than that Karofsky kid.”
He nodded as Burt continued “ And all they’re looking for is a match to light under the fire of their hate. Now of course I want you to be yourself but I also want you to be practical!”
Finn and Blaine looked at Kurt waiting to see what he would say, hoping that this wouldn’t turn into an argument.
Kurt sighed “Okay, I have done…everything right.”
Kurt walked up the steps and looked at Blaine “Now Blaine, I understand that after what you’ve been through you’re worried. But prom is about joy, not about fear.”
Kurt looked at his dad and said “So I’m wearing this suit.” and looked back at Blaine and continued.” And if you don’t want to join me, I completely understand.”
He sighed “Lovely, perfect way to start our weekend.”
Finn looked at him and asked “Umm I know it’s none of my business but what happened that made you worried about prom?”
He sighed “Well, at my old school there was a Sadie Hawkins dance and… I had just �come out. So I asked a friend of mine…the only other gay guy in the school. While we were waiting for his dad to pick us up" He Paused and continued "These three guys…"
He sighed "Um, beat the living crap out of us. I ended up with a few broken ribs and a broken wrist and was in the hospital for a few days.”
He chuckled “ I literally told Kurt the same story.”
Finn sighed “Dude, that suck I’m so sorry. You don’t have to worry about anything we have your back.”
He smiled “Thanks Finn, I’m gonna go check on him, make sure he’s okay.”
They nodded and he walked up stairs to his room and knocked on the door. “Go away Dad! I don’t want to talk about it!”
He sighed “Kurt, it’s Blaine, let me in please.”
Kurt sniffled from the other side “It’s unlocked, come in I guess.”
He walked into his room and Kurt was laying face down on his bed crying. He cursed himself
“Nice going Blaine you really hurt his feelings this time.”
He looked down. “Kurt...I-
Kurt sniffled “If you’ve come to tell me you don’t want to go to Prom with me I know already so you can save the whole spiel.”
He sighed “Kurt, will you listen to me for a minute, please?”
Kurt sniffled and looked at him as he said “Well I already know why you’re not going. You’re embarrassed by the way I dress.”
He looked at him surprised he would think that! “"No. No…�God no! How could you even think that?" Blaine took a step closer to the boy in front of him. He looked so young and innocent.
"Kurt. You're my�boyfriend. You're the best thing in the world to me."
He fought really hard to catch Kurt's eyes, but they were just flickering around his room.
He sat down on Kurt’s bed and said “Hey, look at me, and listen to what I’m going to tell you very carefully!”
Kurt faced him reluctantly he was angry and hurt. “What is it?”
He grabbed his hand “Kurt, I am sorry if I hurt your feelings but you need to understand that I was just a bit shocked seeing your outfit but that doesn’t mean I’m not going to go to prom with you. I love your outfit, it makes you, you. And Kurt, you look beautiful in it.”
Kurt smiled “Thank you Blaine and I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have snapped. Forgive me?”
He smiled “There’s nothing to forgive.” He kissed Kurt softly.
Kurt sighed “I’m gonna go get changed out of this before it get’s wrinkled.”
He nodded and said “I’ll be in the living room.”
He left Kurt’s room and went back to the living room.
Burt sighed “Is everything okay?”
He nodded “Yeah, we’re fine. I’m still going to Prom with him. I sort of have to, I’ve got a little surprise planned for him.”
Burt raised an eyebrow at him “Better not be that type of surprise.”
His face went pale “Uh, No sir, it’s nothing like that at all! I swear.”
Burt nodded “Okay, I believe you Blaine, and Call me Burt.”
Kurt walked down and sat next to Blaine “What were we talking about.”
They all looked at each other and said “Nothing”
Kurt looked at them suspiciously, he knew they were talking about something but if they didn’t want to talk about it…he wouldn’t force them. He could always get it out of Finn later.
He shrugged it off and looked at his Dad “So, Dad. Considering that we won’t be getting back from the Prom until like One because it’s in Columbus, can Blaine just stay the night?”
Burt sighed “Yeah, that’ll be fine Kurt. I don’t want him driving that late and he’ll get home at three so.”
He smiled “Thanks Dad.”
Burt smiled “You’re welcome. So what do you guys have planned for this weekend?”
He sighed “Well, I think we’re actually just gonna spend the weekend just hanging out and talking. Just being together.”
Blaine smiled and squeezed his hand “Sounds like a perfect weekend to me.”
Blaine kissed his forehead.
Carole walked out into the Living room and said “Dinner’s ready guys.”
They walked into the dining room and ate together. After Dinner Blaine and Kurt headed upstairs for the night. Blaine got into his plaid blue and red pajama bottoms and his Dalton Juniors t-shirt. Whilst Kurt got into his silk red pajamas and did his moisturizing routine.
“Kurt, honestly, do you really need that much lotion?”
Kurt sighed “Blaine, yes I do. And it’s not that much.”
He chuckled “Kurt, I honestly just use my Neutrogena
wave.”
Kurt looked at him and said “Seriously?”
He nodded “Yeah…”
Kurt shook his head. “How the hell is your skin so soft?”
He chuckled “I don’t know…but thanks…I think.”
Kurt chuckled as he put his lotion away. “That was definitely a compliment.”
He smiled and laid down on Kurt’s bed, Kurt following. He kissed him on the cheek and said “I’ve missed this.”
Kurt smiled and said “I know, I have too. It sucks being so far from you, and only seeing you on weekends and only getting to see you via Skype.”
He held Kurt close to him rubbing his arm. “I know, it’s hard, but we’re making it work. Just like we promised we would.”
Kurt knew he was right but it didn’t make it any less harder, and was quiet for a few minutes. Blaine noticed he was quiet and didn’t realize he was crying until he felt a tear on his arm. “Kurt, what’s wrong?”
Kurt sighed “I just really hate this situation we’re in Blaine. It sucks and it’s hard!”
Kurt paused as Blaine kissed his forehead and he continued “You know, I still wake up in the morning and look to my left and see nothing but my desk. I’m so used to seeing you next to me sleeping. I end up crying every morning and I-I know that there’s nothing we can do about it either. Which makes the whole damn situation worse.”
He pulled Kurt close and held him as he cried. “I know that this is hard Kurt. I know it is. It sucks, but you know what,”
Kurt looked up at him still crying as he continued “us being so far from each other and not seeing each other all the time, is actually making us stronger. I’d be lying if I said that I haven’t cried a lot within the past few days, ask Jake he knows. Even though it sucks, it’ll make us stronger so don’t worry okay.”
Kurt nodded “Okay.”
He kissed Kurt softly and they both fell asleep holding each other.
The rest of the weekend went by surprisingly fast for them and it was Sunday night before they knew it.
“I’ve gotta get going if I want to make it for curfew.”
Kurt sighed “Okay, call me when you get home okay?”
He nodded “I will.”
He kissed him for a moment and got into his car. “Bye Kurt.”
Kurt smiled “Bye Blaine.”
He drove off back to Dalton, without Kurt, but his prom plan…is a go.
