Of Wine and Coffee- A Kurtbastian Glee fic

Chapter 3: Move

~Home is the place where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in~

That Sunday morning was quite an eventful one for the Hudson-Hummel family. They had breakfast early, to which Finn who was usually a very late riser during weekends grumbled at, so they could prepare for the soon-to-be addition to the household. Burt had drove to Sebastian’s house (the address had been given to Kurt the night before with a promise not to ‘steal anything I own for blackmail, Hummel’) to pack up some of Sebastian’s things while Kurt had helped Carole clean up the place for a bit despite his insistence that the house was already clean. Carole had merely smiled and proceeded to sweep the floors, anyway.

By noon, the family of four had already piled in Burt’s car and drove off to the hospital. All the while, Kurt could not help the nagging feeling at the back of his head that told him he had forgotten to prepare on more thing. He decided to ignore it after a while and proceeded to occupy himself by quietly singing along to the song playing on the radio.

I threw a wish in the well

Don’t ask me, I’ll never tell

I looked to you as I fell

And now you’re in my way

I trade my soul for a wish

Pennies and dimes for a kiss I wasn’t looking for this

But now you’re in my way

Your stare was holdin’

Ripped jeans, skin was showin’

Hot night, wind was blowin’

Where you think you’re going, baby?

Kurt could not help the smile forming on his lips. This was the very same song Blaine had sung playfully sung to him during one of their late night studies at Blaine’s house. French was never Blaine’s strong subject and Kurt had offered to tutor him. But after an hour of studying, Blaine had declared rather loudly that it was time to relax for a bit, to which Kurt had relented after his initial protests. The song had begun playing on the radio and with a grin, Blaine had sung along. He remembered how Blaine leaned in closer to Kurt’s face and capturing his lips into a kiss. It was meant to be a light peck but apparently, Kurt had other plans. By the time the song finished, the pair was already tangled up on the bed. Those were the few times Kurt was really glad that Cooper had plans with his latest girlfriend.

But just as quick as the smile appeared, it faded soon after. The pain in his chest, which was starting to become dull, flared up again. Kurt choked and willed for the tears that formed in his eyes not to fall. He quickly looked outside the window, hoping that the view outside might help him forget the bittersweet memories he had with Blaine. All of a sudden, the song ‘Call Me Maybe’ was getting a bit too painful for him to listen.

“Switch to another station,” he whispered, just loud enough for Burt to listen.

“What?” his dad asked, glancing at the front mirror to look at him.

“Switch to another station, please,”

Burt raised an eyebrow but wordlessly complied. The song ‘Blackbird’ started to drift out of the speakers. Kurt all but groaned.

This was going to be a long ride.

Sebastian was picking on his lunch which had consisted of mash potatoes that tasted like bitter mush and some coleslaw when Kurt’s familiar face peeked at the doorway. He had a sheepish small smile on his face. Sebastian barely restrained himself from smiling back.
