Make Me Smile || Kurt Cobain

Chapter 16 - The More, The Merrier!

Ashlyn

I woke up later that evening feeling a lot better than I did earlier. I guessed sleep was really essential.

I had a smile on my face as I recalled the day's events. Spending time with my brother was the best and I still couldn't believe it.

The sound of my tummy growling reminded me that I actually hadn't eaten lunch. And dinner time was fast approaching.

"Come in" Kurt's voice came from the other side of the door and so I stepped in. "Oh Ash, hey, how are you?" He asked.

"I'm good. Finally awake" I said plopping down on the bed, next to him. "What have you been... up to?" I asked.

"Actually nothing. Puked a few times and all but I'm pretty cool. Cool" He said. I nodded though I could tell something was off with Kurt. He was mellow, more so than usual.

"Are you feeling alright Kurt?" I asked.

"Yeah, moreso than usual. Why do you ask?"

"I dunno. Something about you just seems, different" I said. Kurt shrugged.

"So, you wanna do anything?" He asked deciding to completely change the topic.

"Yeah, room service?" I suggested.

"Okay that sounds good enough. I could eat" He said. My eyes nearly popped out of their sockets which seemed to amuse Kurt. "What? You're shocked at the thought of me eating?"

"Well... yeah. Is everything alright Kurt?"

"Yeah. My stomach doesn't bother me all the time. You don't have to worry" He said ruffling my hair.

"Hey!"

"How's Axl?" Kurt asked.

"He's good. We haven't talked since this morning" I said. Kurt nodded.

"Izzy?"

"He's... oh" I said. I think I finally realized why Kurt seemed to be giving me a bit of attitude. "Do you have something against Jeff?" The mention of the name 'Jeff' made Kurt cringe and I could tell he really wasn't comfortable with Izzy. "Sorry, Izzy?"

"Yeah. I do. I don't like the way he looks at you" Kurt said simply. My eyes nearly popped outta my socket. "What?"

"Kurt. You know Izzy's like a brother to me, that whole statement shakes me up inside" I said. Kurt shrugged.

"Izzy's a lowkey guy he's not gonna ogle at your boobs like a creep and scare you away but... I dunno... I just have a bad feeling about him" Kurt said. I smiled.

"Are you jealous Kurt?" I asked with my smile getting bigger when he groaned. "Oh c'mon, are you?"

"Yeah. But that literally has nothing to do with how I feel about Stradlin" Kurt said which just made me giggle. I could understand his point of view.

While I wasn't sure about Kurt's feelings for me, if he did like me it would be too soon to do anything anyways. But it was indisputable that out of all the guys I had the best bond with Kurt. Izzy's presence could wreck that.

At least to Kurt.

"Kurt don't worry. I can never choose Izzy over you. He's just like my brother" I assured.

"Ash I know that already, trust me" Kurt said with a small smile. "But Izzy, I just... I dunno it's weird"

"Kurt, it could just be your protective side coming along. And God knows I know how those feel like with Krist, Michael, my brother and now you. Hell I'm sure Izzy has a bit of a protective side towards me and..." Kurt groaned at the mention of Izzy's name. "...really, it's that bad?" I asked with a chuckle.
