When I Hear Your Voice

Drama Queen

May the force be with all of you on valentines day on Sunday (and all other days). I'm one of those who won't have a date so guess who will spend the whole day writing fanfiction instead? That's right, I will. I hope all of you will have a totally awesome week however and I'll be back in 7 days for some more action!

When Kurt wakes up it's by the sound receiving messages on his phone, and not one or two. More like 10 so he guess it's important which is why he reaches out to get it instead of just trying to go back to sleep. He groans when he sees that all of them are coming from the same person. Santana.

"This better be important." He mutters and gets up from the bed as he starts reading the messages. The first ones seem to be links to articles about the crime and the following messages seem to be screenshots from them. To sum it up shortly they say that the Phantom got away with yet another crime but that his capture is getting closer.

"They wish." He mumbles even if they undoubtedly have gotten closer since Anderson joined in. He's not particularly worried though, it seems like talking himself out of the situation is working quite well and as long as he has a way to escape it should be fine. The last screenshot isn't like the previous ones though, instead of describing the crime it includes an interview with Smythe where he explains how they will improve security for the upcoming transport of the ruby slippers from the wizard of Oz. It's not hard for Kurt to figure out the reason for his friend to send him this, without doubt she wants to steal the shoes right before the eyes of a considerably big group of police officers. He can easily see how enjoyable it would be to succeed but also how big the risk most likely would be. But it wouldn't hurt trying to figure out a plan for it, right? When he opens the door to leave his bedroom Santana starts saying

"Come on let's..." But Kurt interrupts her through saying "Working on it, I can't promise we'll go for it but I'll try."

"That's all I'm asking for, Hummel." She replies with a grin and he smiles back knowingly as he passes her on his way to the kitchen to get something to eat.

As it turns out the security for the building where the shoes currently are isn't very complicated to get access to which gives an important base for planning a crime like this. The hotspots with most security seem to be on the lower floors and by the roof. It's harder to tell where the external police forces will be placed but it's not very likely that they will be on the floors above where the actual transport will take place. Based on this information Kurt starts to create one of the most dramatic plans since if the goal is to fool everyone he can just as well do it with some style since there is no way he can do it without getting spotted however.

"Hey, San? Do you feel like playing a bit tomorrow night?" Kurt says after deciding that the chances of succeeding are big enough to try.

"You bet I am." She replies and comes over to the couch where he once again is sitting with papers all around him and with the laptop on in front of him.

"Then Smythe is about to face another failure." He states and they grin at each other because even if they would try to deny it they really enjoy this.

"I wish I could see his face but I guess you just want me to drive again?"

"I'm sorry about that but yes, you need to help me leaving the crime scene even if I've got something slightly more dramatic in mind this time..." He says and almost starts laughing when he sees how Santana's face changes by the mention of drama.

"Should I do anything to prepare for this dramatic rescue mission?"

"It would be great if you could try to get in contact with Puck and book him and a helicopter for let's say 1 am on the night between Monday and Tuesday."

"An helicopter, huh? Someone has decided to be a bit extreme."

"Any other suggestions for how to reach 23rd floor?" He asks just to prove his point and Santana just replies that she'll call Puck.

When Kurt has finished cooking the second dinner out of the seven he promised to make they sit down together by the TV to watch a movie since it's one of the rare nights when both of them are home and don't have anything planned.

"What do you feel like tonight?" He asks as he goes through the DVDs they keep in the shelf behind the couch.

"Anything except some reality show." She says since she has learned that Kurt really has a thing for this the hard way. After that time when he was home sick for a week she hasn't been able to watch a single minute of it since it was the only thing that was on the TV that week.

"Then I know just what we will watch." He replies and when Santana asks what he just starts humming. It takes a moment for her to get the hint but then she starts singing along with Kurt as he reaches the first lyrics.

"I've been cheated by you since I don't know when..." It's not very common that they're relaxed enough to randomly start singing but Kurt has to admit that he misses it, it almost feels like back in high school again even if it's years ago he was there. They have had a few glee reunions but since the members moved further apart all of them seldom meet anymore. He of course meet Finn and Rachel often and Mercedes now and then when her schedule allows it but last time he met the others probably was at Mr. Schuester's wedding three years ago.

However, he and Santana end up singing along to all the songs throughout the whole movie even if they don't know all the songs as well as Mama Mia and Dancing Queen which lead to a lot of laughing and that they have a great time in general. Kurt really needed an evening like this after all the drama lately with Anderson and the stupid flashbacks and on top of that the stress and nerves for the following night so when they part to go to their rooms he says

"Thank you for this, I really needed it."

"That's what I'm here for, Porcelain. Get some sleep now so you won't mess it up tomorrow night." She says with a softer attitude than she usually has which probably is the biggest sign of appreciation she can give anyone.

"Goodnight, Satan." He says before he closes the door behind him to follow her advice since he really can't afford to make any mistakes tomorrow because of lack of sleep or anything else for that matter.

He hopes that the sleep will reach him quicker tonight than it did yesterday and it really feels like it will since he has hard to keep his eyes open when he changes for bed and then goes through his mail to see that nothing important has happened while his phone was turned off for the movie time. Nothing urgent seems to have occurred so he locks the phone to put it away for the night but right before he lets go of it he feels a vibration. For a moment he considers to ignore it until the morning but when he tries he gets worried that something has happened so after just a couple of minutes he reaches for the phone again to see what's going on.

"Did you sleep well last night?" It says and Kurt doesn't even have to read who it's from to know it.

"I slept very well thanks to your advice." He replies and suddenly doesn't feel as tired anymore.

"I'm happy to help, have you killed anyone today (considering you're a serial killer)?" Blaine replies and then Kurt can't help smiling.

"Actually no, if you don't count the chicken I cooked for dinner of course. Have you been working today (considering you're a workaholic)?" He texts back in the same manners.

"Always"

"Then I think you should call it a day and get some sleep."

"Will you kill me if I don't?" the reply says and it's not hard to notice the joking tone in it.

"I'll put you on my list for sure."

"Then I better do as you tell me too. Goodnight (please don't kill me in my sleep)"

"Goodnight (if you promise to not sleep work)"

"(Deal?)"

"(Deal.)"
