This was getting out of hand, there were clothes spread everywhere! If his roommate would have walked in right now he would have probably killed Kurt, or even worse, throw all his clothes out of the window or something. And as much as Kurt liked to live, without his clothes he was pretty much nothing.
Kurt knew that it was just going to be them studying, and that no, it wasn't a date but still he wanted to look his best when he was around Blaine. Even though the boy obviously had no interest in him, and why would he? That didn't mean Kurt had no feelings towards Blaine, no not at all. He couldn't stop thinking about him and even though he knew it was never going to work out, he couldn't help himself he was so... dreamy! Stop it! Kurt thought.
5 minutes had past and he still hadn't accomplished anything. With a sigh he took the simple black skinny jeans, a white t-shirt and a sleeveless detailed blazer. (seriously, those blazers seemed to follow him everywhere ever since he transferred to Dalton).
He rushed out of his room towards Blaine's, almost forgetting his books (that could have been awkward). He took a deep calming breath before he knocked on Blaine's door. Only a few seconds later the door opened to reveal a boy with his hair gelled back, (with a lot amounts of gel, probably enough to grease and entire car shop) comfortable looking clothes (Blaine could wear anything and make it look good, Kurt thought) and of course the beautiful golden brown eyes that seemed so shiny like thousands of little stars (or diamonds, whatever you prefer) were hiding in his eyes.
"Hi" Blaine said with a perfect (seriously was there anything not beautiful about this boy?) smile.
"Hey" Kurt couldn't help the goofy grin that plastered itself on his face.
"Come in" Blaine opened the door a little more so Kurt could step in.
"Thanks" Kurt had no idea why he was already slightly blushing.
He Looked around the single room, there was a guitar standing in the corner and there were music sheets all around it. He had a little desk in his room also filled with lots of papers. Above the desk was a wooden shelf with personal belongings and framed pictures. His bed was placed in front of the window which looked down at the courtyard of Dalton.
"Do you have a lot of homework?" Blaine asked, the first to break the silence Kurt hadn't been paying attention to.
"Well, it is really different from McKinley, but it's okay. I mean it isn't anything I can't handle" It was a lot more then he was used to. Dalton might be a safer place, and people actually seemed to like him but the amount of homework was way more than he was used to.
"Are you sure? I remember when I first came to Dalton, I thought I was going to drown in the amounts of homework I had". Blaine smiled but his question was serious with a little bit of concern.
Kurt knew Blaine's question was only asked our of concern so he didn't feel the need him the I-just-told-you-I-was-fine look, he was used to be giving from his time at McKinley. Instead he smiled
"It is indeed a bit frightening how much homework they can actually, legally, give you." Blaine snorted at Kurt's comment. When Kurt heard Blaine laugh his heart always made this little stutter.
"You know, I could help you if you want. When I was new here Wes and David used to help me a lot and I agree with you that it's still an impossible amount of homework, but I managed to survive." He smiled at Kurt, hopeful to be some kind of help to Kurt in any way. Kurt smiled too, it was hard not when Blaine was looking at him like that.
"But you've done so much for me already, I don't want you to think I'm totally weak and helpless or get tired from me.." Kurt joked, but suddenly Blaine looked really serious even though the small smile was still on his lips.
"Kurt," Kurt shivered at the sound of his name coming from Blaine's mouth. Blaine looked at Kurt with so much emotion that Kurt almost started crying. "You are" he paused for a few seconds. "the strongest person I've ever, ever met. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Please, know I don't think you're weak or helpless at all. And I could never be tired of you." He smiled at Kurt.
Kurt didn't know if he wanted to cry or hug the boy in front of him. "You're wrong" Kurt said softly which caused Blaine to raise his eyebrows to reach his hairline and a look of concern spreading on to his face. Kurt looked down.
"Why do you think that?" it sounded soft and sweet but also kinda sad.
Kurt started fidgeting with his fingers, still looking down. He had not been expecting the sudden turn of the conversation. Blaine kept looking at him patiently.
"I ran" Kurt softly stated, afraid of Blaine's reaction.
"What?" Blaine asked, not sounding mad, or at least not yet Kurt thought.
"I'm so sorry" Kurt blurted out, trying to get this over with. "You told me to stand up, face those bullies. But I ran.. I'm so sorry I disappointed you. I'm a coward". Totally expecting Blaine to become mad tears started to stream down his face. He couldn't do this, he couldn't handle it. Blaine was the only one he really knew at this school plus he really cared about him. He didn't want Blaine to be mad at him, or think he was a coward, which he was..wasn't he?
Then Blaine did something Kurt wasn't expecting, he pulled Kurt towards him and enveloped him in a big hug. Kurt didn't know why but he felt so safe in Blaine's arms that he started to cry. "I'm s-s-o s-sorry" he mumbled in Blaine's neck.
Blaine just shushed him sweetly and kept hugging him until Kurt's sobs turned into sniffing and then into sad hiccups. Blaine tugged Kurt back on the bed with him and sat across from Kurt. Instead of hugging him he took hold of both Kurt's hands. "Kurt" Blaine had to clear his throat before continuing because seeing Kurt cry always broke his heart.
"Hey Kurt, look at me" Blaine said when he saw Kurt was stilling looking down, avoiding Blaine's eyes. Blaine squeezed Kurt's hand. Blaine felt a stab of pain when he saw Kurt's red but still beautiful baby-blue eyes looking at him, awaiting his judgment.
"Kurt, I do not think you are a coward because you ran away. And courage only goes so far, I'm really sorry if i pushed you too far, I really am. I was just trying to help you, I wasn't trying to make it worse.. No Kurt I'm the one who should be apologizing." He lifted their hands and made sure Kurt looked at him.
"I'm really sorry, forgive me?" He brought Kurt's hand up and pressed a featherlight kiss to his left hand.
Kurt was never mad with Blaine to begin with and his apology was entirely unnecessary but the way Blaine was looking at him, and the way he still felt Blaine's lips on his left hand. He started to blush fiercely and cleared his throat. "
"You are forgiven". He tried to sound a little bit theatrical but it sounded more like a squeal.
Blaine just laughed, glad to see Kurt wasn't mad at him or sad anymore "Good to know".
Kurt, who was still blushing slightly, didn't know why Blaine was so sweet to him. Why did he deserve Blaine, even as just a friend..
Suddenly it hit Kurt that he had been crying in front of Blaine again, he mentally slapped himself.
Blaine saw the sudden look on Kurt's face and looked at him with a questioning look, Kurt just wove it away with his hands, not feeling the need to explain.
They spent the next hour actually doing their homework, secretly glaring at each other over their books. When they caught each other staring they just blushed and looked away.
Eventually they were both yawning and Blaine closed his books.
"Would you like to watch a movie on my laptop?" Blaine asked, the first to break the silence Kurt hadn't been paying attention to.
"Sure" Kurt said, also closing his books and tossing them aside. "Which one do you suggest, and may I add no scary movies. I hate those, I once watched one when I was younger, I had nightmares for months!"
Blaine chuckled. "No scary movies, duly noted. Erm- I'm afraid I only have cheesy movies, harry potter or Disney movies". He added with a light blush.
Kurt laughed, which Blaine thought was adorable. "That's okay, I happen to like Disney movies"
Eventually they settled with Aladdin, since it was Blaine's favorite movie and now that Kurt thought about it Aladdin kind of reminded him of Blaine.
The thought of Blaine living in the streets with a monkey made him chuckle. Blaine looked at him with a smile.
"What?".
"Nothing" Kurt tried to hide his smile, which he wasn't able to do.
"Are you laughing at me?" Blaine said, pretending to look hurt and putting a hand on his chest.
Kurt laughed at his theatrics. "Maybe, what are you going to do about it?" He had no idea where this sudden flirty side came from.
Blaine seemed to think about that for a few seconds and suddenly he attacked Kurt's sides, tickling him and causing Kurt to laugh uncontrollably.
"No stop!" Kurt yelled while still laughing and flailing.
"What's the magic word?" Blaine teased.
Kurt tried to catch his breath. "You never told me!"
"Well, then I just have to keep tickling you till you guess it right.." Blaine said with a sigh, but looking really amused.
After tons of wrong guesses Blaine stopped tickling, giving Kurt time to catch his breath.
Suddenly a pillow landed in Blaine's face.
"Really?" Blaine asked with a grin.
Before Kurt could even respond Blaine already planted a pillow in Kurt's face.
They had a short pillow fight full of laughter and feathers spreading everywhere which was interrupted when Kurt suddenly thought of something..
"My hair!" Kurt shrieked which caused Blaine to laugh even harder.
"You think this is funny? I spent almost the whole afternoon fixing this!" Kurt actually looked panicked and Blaine tried to hide his smile but he just couldn't.
"It still looks fine". He received a bitchy glare from the other boy so he quickly changed the subject.
"Erm- Shall we start the movie?" He asked hoping Kurt wouldn't be mad at him.
Kurt smiled at him (Blaine thanked every God in his mind that he wasn't actually mad) "Okay".
Blaine took his laptop and the DVD, he put the DVD in his laptop while Kurt turned the lights out, because everyone knows you turn the light of when you watch a movie.. especially if it's on a laptop and you have to share a small space with someone you like.
They lay down on the bed together, Blaine settling the laptop on a chair in front of the bed.
They watched the entire movie close to each other but they made sure there was still some space between them.
When Blaine was sure Kurt was paying attention to the movie he looked at him. He just wished he could kiss him, but Kurt couldn't possibly like him and he didn't want to ruin their friendship so even when he felt his hands burning just to touch Kurt's cute cheek he ignored it and tried to watch the movie.
Kurt had the same problem though, he really wanted to kiss Blaine or just reach out and touch him, but afraid he would be horribly rejected he didn't do anything.
Kurt had looked at Blaine when he was softly singing along with the words to 'A whole new world'. It just made him wanting to hold the boy close and just cuddle with him for the rest of the night.
After the movie was done Kurt turned the lights back on and they both yawned which caused them to chuckle.
"I should go back to my room before curfew, or before my roommate will lock me out again". He sighed.
Blaine stood up from his bed and for one second both boys thought Blaine was going to kiss him, but he didn't.
"Goodnight, sleep well" He smiled sweetly.
Kurt pulled him into a hug, because really he just wanted to be hold by Blaine one more time. Blaine wound his arms around Kurt, both boys not wanting to let go.
When they parted Kurt wished Blaine goodnight too and went to his own room, the scent of Blaine still around him.
When Kurt walked into his room, his roommate was already laying in bed. "Back so late eh Kurty?" His roommate asked in amusement
"Oh shut up Nathan". Kurt started to dress himself for bed.
"Oh, we all know you were with your little boytoy Blainey".
Kurt sighed "Okay first of all his name is Blaine, and he is not my boytoy!".
Nathan laughed. "right, because Blaine is just a 'friend' ". Kurt could hear him making the gesture in the air.
"Okay, I'm going to sleep now because I'm way too tired to deal with your weird illusions".
Nathan was about to make another comment but Kurt put his pillow over his head and blocked the other boy out.
Blaine immediately felt lonely when Kurt was gone, not only because he didn't have a roommate but just because he missed Kurt... already. Oh my god, this wasn't normal anymore, he would just have to forget about him.
Blaine turned of the light, kicked his pants and pulled his shirt over his head and crawled into the bed that smelled like Kurt a little, Blaine pulled the blanket up to his nose and fell asleep thinking of Kurt.
