Heart Of Glass

Chapter 18

They got the approval for the apartment rather quickly, and as all the paperwork and the payments were in order they could move in as soon as they wanted, which meant that Kurt and Blaine not only did have to deal with their work, but when they finally came back home they still had to pack, boxes piling up everywhere in the condo. Blaine also had to travel back to his old apartment to pack everything he and Jules had there. For a week they did nothing but this: tidying, sorting, packing, labeling and so on and so forth. Jules was the only one having a good time, he had been expected to pack his room, which he did, sort of. And now all he had to do was take care of his new puppy that he had chosen to name Pancakes for obvious reasons.

It should've taken months for all the papers to be ready, but given the circumstances everyone had been remarkably understanding and quickened the process drastically. This was how Kurt, Blaine, and Jules finally moved in on a dark Thursday night.

Jules was trotting around the apartment with Pancakes, showing the little dog all the rooms and commentating them.

"This is my room, Pancakes! For now it's all white but I'll ask Daddy to paint it pink and blue, or maybe red. Papa said that you couldn't sleep with me but I'll leave the door open, okay Pancakes?" Jules explained, rubbing the dog behind the ears. They crossed the living room who was opened on the kitchen before getting to a hallway, with several doors.

"The first room is Daddy's room, then there is Papa's room and here is the bathroom." Jules said, pointing with his little finger and sometimes opening doors. "No, don't look! There is a bath in there and you don't like it. I don't wanna scare you." Jules covered Pancakes' eyes with his little hands to prevent the dog from seeing the bath. They continued their grand tour, slaloming in and out between all the boxes.

They had used the help of movers but unfortunately they were completely alone when it came to opening the boxes and cleaning everything.

"My back hurts." Kurt groaned as he plopped down next to Blaine on the couch.

"How could your back hurt? You didn't carry anything."

"Don't sass me, Anderson. My everything hurts and it looks like the boxes are reproducing because no matter how many of them I open it always seems that there's more than before." Blaine giggled, patting Kurt's thigh in understanding.

"I think the worst is going to be Jules' room. How can one kid have so many toys?" Blaine wondered, looking over at all the boxes with a 'Jules' tag on it.

"Dunno. Maybe we should punish him just for the sake of it and get rid of several boxes. Spring cleaning." Kurt explained, smirking at Blaine who once again giggled.

"Spring cleaning in November. He is a kid but he isn't stupid."

"I know. Want to call it a day? I could use some sleep." Kurt offered. "Beside I made sure to clean Jules and my room first and to put some clean sheets on the beds."

"Ugh," Blaine half-groaned, too tired to form a real word. "I forgot to put away some sheets for my bed. Guess I'll be wrestling with boxes some more." Kurt had planned to do it for Blaine too, just like he did for Jules. But at the last second his mind had started to wander and to provide him with a plan. A plan to get Blaine into his bed. God only knows why his mind provided him this, but the truth was, the moment he started thinking about it he just couldn't stop imagining sleeping with Blaine again. In few days he'd be gone for months and since he had decided not to act on his feelings for Blaine, Kurt couldn't just ask him upfront to sleep in his bed. Hence his mind giving him the perfect idea to create the opportunity to ask Blaine to bed. It was stupid, he was a grown man and feelings shouldn't scare him that much, except that they did and especially the ones he had for Blaine.
