“Sorry.” The Doctor says sheepishly hitting the button again. “I should have told you it’s a bumpy ride if you’re not used to it.”
“Yes.” Kurt hisses rubbing his side and levelling a glare at The Doctor. “You should ha-”
His sentence is cut off when he’s thrown back to the floor.
“Do you even know how to drive this thing?!” Kurt spits dragging himself back to his feet and grabbing onto one of the railings near the console.
“Of course I do!”
“Then can you do it better?”
The Doctor laughs.
“Oh I like you.” He giggles hitting another button with what appeared to be a rubber chicken. “Sassy!”
Kurt rolls his eyes and glares at the Doctor letting out a squeak when the TARDIS grinds to a halt.
“That can’t be good for it...” Kurt mutters under his breath as the Doctor hops down off of the console.
“Hurry up!” He calls over his shoulder grabbing both the door handles. “I like to see peoples faces when I open the doors!”
Kurt walks slowly over to the Doctor as if he’s afraid he’ll suddenly get thrown to the floor again.
“Ready?” The Doctor asks flinging the doors open when Kurt nods.
Kurt feels his jaw drop and hears the Doctor laugh again.“
“This cannot be happening.” Kurt whispers more to himself than to the Doctor. “This is not real.”
“Doctor!”
Kurt whips around when he hears a voice call out. A short boy flings himself forward and wraps his arms around the Doctor who pats his back.
“Hello Blaine!” He grins “I told you I’d be back!”
“You told me that three months ago.”
“...I thought I’d fixed that.”
The boy laughs and turns to smile at Kurt who chokes on the breath he’d been taking.
“B-Blaine.” He chokes out.
“That’s me!” Blaine grins. “You’re the friend the Doctor said he was going to get aren’t you?” Blaine face scrunches up in thought. “Kurt!”
Kurt glances at the Doctor who nods frantically.
“Yes.”
He feels light headed, because Blaine Anderson is stood right in front of him wearing a suit and a ridiculous bowtie and gorgeous and Kurt’s sure he’s dreaming.
He reaches down and pinches his leg, hard.
“O-okay, not dreaming.” He says as Blaine looks at him his eyes swimming with confusion. “You’re... you’re really... oh my god.”
“Doctor is he okay?”
“This is a bit of a shock for him Blaine, give him a minute.”
“I’m here you know.” Kurt snaps.
“There back to normal!” The Doctor says happily. “Am I okay leaving him here while I move the TARDIS?”
Blaine nods not looking away from Kurt who’s flushing under his gaze.
“Of course Doctor.”
The Doctor jumps back into the TARDIS and in a blink of an eye the TARDIS was gone.
Taking deep breaths Kurt looks at Blaine and gulps.
“S-so...” he starts awkwardly.
“Would you like to hear my new song?” Blaine blurts out. “T-the Doctor says you like my songs, and well, I thought you might like to hear it...”
“o-oh, i-if you want.”
Blaine smiles and twirls around before setting off down the hallway. Kurt stares after him for a moment and nearly jumps out of his skin when the Doctor appears behind him.
“Go.” The Doctor whispers. “Go on, I brought you here for you to meet him, not so you could stare at him from miles away. Honestly, you humans.”
Kurt frowns but shakes it off, deciding on asking him what he means later before hurrying down the hall way after Blaine.
Blaine’s sat at a piano tapping his fingers against the wood and trying to calm his breathing.
“This is bad.” He whispers to himself and he’s seriously contemplating smacking his head against the piano when he hears footsteps behind him.
“Are you okay?” Kurt asks frowning.
“Fine!” Blaine says wincing as his voice rises in pitch. “um... do you want to uh, sit down?”
Kurt glances around and sits down in the chair next to Blaine.
“Right... um, this isn’t really finished.” Blaine says placing his hands on the piano keys. “Feel free to tell me if it’s well... terrible.”
“I walked across, an empty land, I knew the pathways like the back of my hand.”
Kurt feels his breath catch in his throat again because this is the song he’s been obsessed with for years, the first song of Blaine’s he ever heard. And here he is, watching Blaine play it on the piano right in front of him.
“I felt the earth, beneath my feet, sat by the water and it made me complete.
Oh simple thing, where have you gone? I’m getting old and I need something to rely on, so tell me when you’re going to let me in, I’m getting tired and I need somewhere to be-” Blaine freezes “Are... are you okay?”
Kurt blinks and that’s when he notices the tears streaming down his cheeks. He nods slowly wiping his eyes with shaking hands.
“I-I’m fine, I just...” he sniffs. “This is all so unbelievable, and you’re the first boy to ever sing to me and...” Kurt trails off sniffling. “and you’re straight and I’m in the wrong fucking time and-” He drops his head against the piano. “and this was my mother’s favourite song and god.”
“You’re not okay.” Blaine says quietly and Kurt nearly jumps when he feels a gentle hand on his shoulder.
“N-no I’m fine.” Kurt sits up wiping his eyes again. “I just got a bit overwhelmed for a second.”
Blaine stares at him for a second before lifting his hand from Kurt’s shoulder and gently wiping a tear away with his thumb. Blaine takes a deep breath and Kurt frowns when he doesn’t move his hand from Kurt’s cheek. Almost the second the thought enters Kurt’s head Blaine drops his hand with a mumbled ‘sorry’.
“I freaked out the first time the Doctor took me somewhere.” Blaine says matter of factly. “So, you know, you don’t have to be embarrassed or anything.”
Kurt smiles at him.
“How about you finish your song?” he asks softly.
Blaine smiles and turns back to the piano and he starts to play again.
