Sleeping in the Suburbs – Chapter 2 – Ever Fallen in Love with Someone

Burt was sat at his computer when Kurt burst in ‘I Love Him, I have only just met him, but I Love Him'

‘Who are you talkin’ ‘bout bud?’ Burt asked as Kurt peered through the thin window in the door.

‘Blaine of course’ Kurt said, still not looking at his father. Kurt stayed staring out of the window, trying to catch the slightest glimpse of those beautiful dark curls. He only stopped looking and turned around when Burt said to him

‘I forbid it’

‘What...’ Kurt’s voice was shrill, panicked.  ‘Why the hell not?’

‘Because, his parents moved their family down here , because he beat up a kid at his old school, he’s dangerous Kurt, and I’ve only hired him as a favor to his dad, we used to be friends in High School, he said that he knows his way around an engine, so I thought ‘yeah, we could use the extra help’’ Burt finished.

‘Fine’ Kurt knew that his dad would have had a good reason for keeping him away from Blaine, so now he had, ‘’Oh well, another one bites the dust’’ Kurt thought.

‘So anyway, how much do you need?’ Burt asked.

‘How did you know I needed money’ Kurt asked, shocked.

‘I know everything about you, and you only come into the garage to see me when you want something’ Burt Chuckled.

‘Erm OK, could I have $50, I swear I’ll pay you back when I get home’ Kurt pleaded.

‘You’d better’ Burt said as he handed over the notes.

‘Thanks dad, I shall see you later’ Kurt said.

‘It’s fine, but don’t spend it all at once’ Burt joked ‘…Have fun’

With that, Kurt left the office, he couldn’t help but stare at Blaine who was still bent well into the hood of the car, and he carried on walking, putting in his iPod as he did so. He quickly skipped song and on came the Buzzcocks – Ever fallen in love with someone?

The music filled his head and he turned to look back at the garage, there was Blaine, waving goodbye to him, with a smile on his face. Kurt quickly returned the wave and on he walked, back to the mall, his thoughts swallowing him whole.

You stir my natural emotions
You make me feel I'm dirt
And I'm hurt
And if I start a commotion
I run the risk of losing you
And that's worse

But Blaine doesn’t seem like the kind of guy who would just go and beat someone up for the fun of it, he’s nothing like Puckerman.

Ever fallen in love with someone?
Ever fallen in love?
In love with someone
Ever fallen in love? (Love…)
In love with someone
You shouldnt've fallen in love with

Well, this doesn’t make sense, it must have been self defence.

I can't see much of a future
Unless we find out what's to blame
What a shame
And we won't be together much longer
Unless we realize that we are the same

Is Blaine the one, is he the prince I’ve been waiting for?

Ever fallen in love with someone?
Ever fallen in love?
In love with someone
Ever fallen in love? (Love…)
In love with someone
You shouldn't've fallen in love with

I wonder if he’s gay or straight, dad never elaborated, but… surely if he forbids it, then… he must know something that I don’t!

You disturb my natural emotions
You make me feel I'm dirt
And I'm hurt
And if I start a commotion
I'll only end up losing you
And that's worse

But if he’s gay, then how come he knows so much about cars? Actually, I’m gay and I know loads about cars, maybe his dad and mine did engineering and his dad taught him, just like mine did.

Ever fallen in love with someone?
Ever fallen in love?
In love with someone
Ever fallen in love? (Love…)
In love with someone
You shouldn't've fallen in love with

Ever fallen in love with someone?
Ever fallen in love?
In love with someone
Ever fallen in love? (Love…)
In love with someone
You shouldn't've fallen in love with

Ever fallen in love?
In love with someone
Ever fallen in love? (Love…)
In love with someone
You shouldn't've fallen in love with

Fallen in love with
Ever fallen in love with someone
You shouldn't've fallen in love with…

The song finished just as Kurt walked up to Mercedes in the food court at the mall.

‘Hey boo, what’s up, why do you have that look on your face?’

‘Wait what look?’ Kurt asked.

‘You know, the one that looks like you just got told a really dirty joke’

‘Oh right, well, err, I sort of, met someone.’
