He couldnt sleep, after a lot of tossing and turning on the couch, and trying to make an acceptable and comfortable position to sleep, he found himself sitting in the kitchen, with a mug full of green tea and a wandering mind. He couldnt exactly remember what happened...wait, yeah he did.
First Kurt was talking about how he had booked the tickets to Ohio that afternoon as they have decided 3 months prior to Christmas that they were going to Ohio for Christmas and now all of a sudden Blaine was saying that he had to work on Christmas and... What?
So not to bore you, eventually Kurt had been pissed and Blaine got pissed because Kurt got pissed and he stormed out to their bedroom, slamming the door yelling "I CANT DEAL WITH THIS RIGHT NOW"
So then again here was Kurt, sitting in the kitchen alone in his own thoughts with a frown on his face while the house was dead silent. And thats why when he was about to take a sip of his tea, he was pulled out of his thoughts when he heard the padding of bare feet on the wooden floor and as he looked up he saw his 15 year old son entering the dim lighted kitchen with tousled hair and sleepy eyes.
"Dad." Alex whispered as to not disturb the silence of the house.
"Baby why are you awake? Its way past your bed time." Kurt asked as he got up from his chair and hugged his son close; Concern evident in his voice.
"I was sleep, I just felt hungry hmm thirsty" Alex said while yawning and making a cute face unintentionally.
"Its okay sit down, Ill grab something for you." Kurt said as he guided his son to a chair and brushed his hair out of his face.
"Thanks, wait, why are you awake?" Alex wondered sounding more awake now.
"I... I couldnt sleep" he said quietly as he got the turkey ham out of the refrigerator with some toast to go with it and put them on the table in front of his son, he picked up his mug again and breathed in the little steam left from the tea as it kept cooling down.
"Why?" Alex asked and took a bite of his turkey sandwich.
"Nothing you need to worry about honey." Kurt said and took a big gulp of the tea and loved the slight burn as it slid down his throat.
"Hmmm, are you okay?" Alex asked getting concerned as his dad tried to avoid his gaze and the mug in his hand was very interesting all of a sudden.
"Yes of course, comon eat up and back to bed." Kurt said as he finished his tea and rinsed the mug in the sink and tried to distract himself from all the thoughts and prevent them from pouring out of his mouth.
"Dad?, comon talk to me? I heard you guys fighting. Whats going on?" Alex asked impatiently, not being able to hold it in anymore.
"It´s nothing you need to worry about Alex, okay? Everything will be fine. Its just about Christmas, we were supposed to go to Ohio but now I dont know any more if we are, okay? nothing that you need to be concerned about." Kurt said seriously, not wanting to talk about it anymore.
"But why? We were supposed to go next week. I wanted to go to a game with Uncle Finn-" Alex was getting restless, how can they just change our plans, Alex thought.
"Okay Alex, I dont know anything right now, so why dont you go to bed and well talk about it tomorrow." Kurt tried to muster all the calmness left in him to not sound angry at his son but didnt succeed.
"Fine, Goo night." Alex said while drinking a glass of water and making his way upstairs to his room.
Kurt sighed and brushed his hands through his hair, getting even more frustrated, because now Blaine had not only disappointed him but also their son.
He cleaned up the table and sat down to do some work. He took out his sketches out and tried to relax as this task was something that he could do it even with his eyes closed.
I mean why is it always Blaine who breaks the promises, and then Kurt has to make it right with Alex. Kurt gets it that Blaine has a very demanding job, of course he is not a platinum selling artist for no reason, it takes a long time and long nights. But its been 2 years since theyve been to Ohio for Christmas and Kurt was looking forward to it. I mean of course they have gone to Ohio for a night or two over thanksgivings and their families have come to LA over the years for birthdays and important dates. But Christmas is Kurts favorite holiday and its always been about family and friends now he cant believe it that they may not go at all and on top of that Blaine wont be even home for Christmas, and instead he has to spend it in a stuffy studio, recording songs. Blaine always says that he doesnt have a choice but the truth is that he is the boss and he can schedule his recordings however he wants it. Okay fine, Kurt knew that they are on a tight schedule to finish the new album but Christmas Eve is no way a day for work.
As Kurt felt his eyes get tired, he put his sketches away as he glanced at the clock on the wall, and was shocked to see its 3 oclock, not noticing the time going by so fast while sketching.
As he was about to go around the corner out of the kitchen while smoothing down his hand on his face, he came chest to chest with Blaine. Not expecting something to be in his way he gasped and stumbled back. Blaine steadied him with a hand on his waist, balancing him.
"Oh god, you scared the crap out of me." Kurt stage whispered angrily.
"Im sorry." Blaine said and pulled him close by his waist and buried his face in Kurts chest. Kurt just stood there his hands beside him, shocked. I mean werent they in a fight?
"Im sorry I yelled at you, I know you really wanna go to Ohio, Ill talk to my manager; see if I can take off Christmas Eve day and the day after, I dont like it when we fight. I miss you in our bed." Blaine said still not looking at Kurt.
"Okay, promise you will talk with your manager, its not that I dont get it, I do. Weve been through all of this together, but is it too much to ask for Christmas Eve with my whole family?" Kurt said and wrapped his arms around Blaine in return and they stood there in the doorway flushed against each other.
"No its not too much to ask baby, Ill talk to my manager." Blaine said as he picked his head up from Kurts chest and kissed his forehead and cheek and then the corner of his mouth, Kurt cupped his chin and brought their mouths together in a deep and slow kiss. After a while they pulled back to breathe and rested their foreheads together.
"I love you so much." Kurt said breathily as he hugged him closer.
"I love you too, more than anything in this world." Blaine said and pulled back and grabbed his wrist pulling him gently towards the staircase to their bedroom.
