You've Got To Hide Your Love Away Chapter 1, a glee fanfic

A/N : Yes, another new story; and I realize how many I actually have on the go at the moment, however I am trying to keep on top of all of them as best as I can!
So this is the Kitty/Artie story, that I have been thinking of writing ever since I decided to pair them together in the 'Runnin' Back Home To You' story; which then leads on to the others "Irreconcilable Differences" and "I've Got All My Sisters With Me" - as well in a way also at the beginning connecting in to the story from which the first one spun off from "Everywhere You Look".

Now Kitty and Artie will be end game in this - and I do believe there were quite a few people that did like the Kartie pairing on the actual show; so hopefully this is well received.
As always any characters you do recognize I don't own, they belong to the creators of Glee. However if there is a character that you don't recognize from the show, they belong to me and cannot be used without my permission.

Thanks for reading and you know what to do at the end, review, fave or follow!

Love,

After dating a few different girls, over that of a few months who he had gotten to know through that of friends and work acquaintances; and not actually finding that one person to click with; he decided to jump into the somewhat scary world of online dating, and maybe see if possibly out there, there was a person that he would just be able to feel that instant connection with.

As he tried to come up with a handle to use on the site before even progressing to filling in what he was sure was going to be numerous questions on what he liked and didn't like; as well as that of his likes and wants for that of another person, Artie sighed as he tapped over the keys of his keyboard trying to think of one; and then typed in the handle of 'AA1989', and seeing that it was indeed available, he also then typed in a password for the account, before hitting the submit button; before being inundated with that of all the questions that the website wanted him to answer first, before he could start to see if maybe the girl he was meant to be with was also maybe on there looking for her one and only.

Finally having spent the next close to an hour answering the many, many questions that the site wanted him to; before he could even start to look at any of the profiles, Artie sighed with relief as he finally finished the last of the questions; and it the site then advised him that his profile and analysis was now complete.

Going into the 'recommendations' on the website, based on the information that he had given them about what he was looking for and what the girls on the site was looking for, as he tapped clicked through those girls of who might be of interest to him; he stopped when he came upon a familiar looking blonde, with the username of 'KittyLitter90'.

"Really KittyLitter90" he said with a laugh; as he opened the profile and read over it quickly and the looked at the three photos that were on there and being ninety percent certain that the girl in the picture was Kitty Kapowski, younger sister of Mikki with whom he'd gone to college with; clicking on the part of her profile that said 'send message' he quickly typed out one to her.

Hi Kitty! Wow, didn't expect to see a familiar face on here! Not sure if you'd remember me now, but I'm Artie. Went to college with your older sister Mikki; and am also best friends with Seb. How have you been? What are you up to nowadays? Artie.

Hitting enter, and then backing out of Kitty's profile he then went back to see what other possible matches were there for him, hoping that none of them were anyone else he already kind of knew; as the sound of his computer dinging startled him.

"What the hell" said Artie, looking over the screen quickly and saw that where there was a little envelope on the screen, a little bubble with '1' had appeared on it; and he clicking on the message icon, saw indeed that Kitty had replied to him, and as he typed back a reply to the girl that was the sister of one of his closest friends; he smiled to himself thinking that maybe the world of online dating wasn't as scary as he had first thought it was going to be.

Kitty Kapowski sighed as she got home from that of another disastrous first date; with a guy who was a friend of one of the girls she worked with; and like so many guys in the city of Las Vegas only seemed to be interested in one thing.

Pulling off her heels, and grabbing her phone from her handbag, she then headed over to the fridge, and grabbed a bottle or water before heading over to the sofa in her modest one bedroom apartment; she sat down on to the sofa and grabbed her iPad from the coffee table and went into the dating app for the website that out of curiosity one day she had signed on to, thinking that there had to better guys out there then the ones that she was currently attempting to date.

Going into the 'recommendations' section that the computer based algorithms would churn through by looking at her profile against that of guys also on the site; she scrolled downwards looking at what some of the guys had written and couldn't help but laugh. "Don't want to be tied down, then don't worry I will use my handcuffs instead" "Cowboy looking for his cowgirl"

"Do they even think about what kind of impression that gives to a girl" said Kitty as she took a sip of the water and continued to scroll upwards. "Certainly not handcuffing me, or even getting me to be a cowgirl"

Sighing as she scrolled she stopped on one profile link, with that of a more genuine quote and scrolling down some more she grabbed her bottle of water and taking a sip from it, and was startled by that of the sound of a notification from the app; and going into the messages within the inbox, she read over the message from an 'AA1989'

Tapping on to Artie's profile, not really recalling that of the person who he was claiming to be; as she never really took much notice of that of Mikki's friends from college, apart from that of Sebastian who for quite a while her sister had been with; and also only really remembering Kurt who to even to this day, her older sister was still extremely close with; she looked at the photos that Artie had posted on himself, and nodded when she recognized now who he was and went back to the messages to reply back to him.

Hi Artie. Nice to hear from you and yes I do indeed remember you; although I did have to look at your photos before I did actually realize who you were. I'm pretty good, living in Las Vegas now and working at the Bellagio as an events coordinator. What about you what are you doing with yourself?

Hitting send on the message, she grabbed her cell phone from nearby and opened the Facebook app and saw a post from Marley as the first thing on her newsfeed.

Sister bonding time – chick flick all the way! Watching 'Mother's Day' with Mikki Kapowski – at AMC Metreon 16.

And seeing that there was a couple of comments under Marley's post she clicked on it and saw a reply from Mikki that read 'Would much rather it had been Captain America then this romantic pile of crud. At least there would be cute guys for me too look at there!'

Followed by one from Sebastian, who even though was no longer dating Mikki after the two of them had gone separate ways when Mikki had gotten a job in San Francisco, that read. Poor Mikki, not being able to perve on cute guys! Shall I tell you the basic plot line of Captain America then?! Since you might not get to see it?

Laughing as she read then reply back from Mikki to Sebastian, she half smiled not at all understanding why the two of them had even ended things, even though she had when gone to visit her older and younger sister a few months ago, along with Roderick; hinted that she the older of them should maybe start consider dating again. 'You shut your mouth Seb! I am not beyond coming over there and hunting you down, I know where you live remember; if you do spoil the movie for me. I will see it soon, albeit just not today! :x

Seeing that Sebastian had given this a thumbs up, she was alerted to another message coming through on the dating site, and picking up her tablet read over the reply back from Artie.

Well I am glad you do remember who I am; was kind of thinking, would you even remember me? Vegas sounds like it could be fun, I vaguely remember Mikki saying something about you working there before she moved away. As for me and what am I doing; I teach history at a high school in Lexington, so not really all that far from home, but still further enough away that it's not too close. Tell me as out of a matter of curiosity. What was your reaction to Seb and Mik breaking up?! I for one was totally floored by it; because I was pretty certain that Seb was going to propose to your sister, and then they just break up!

Sighing as she typed a message back to Artie, she couldn't help but sort of smile as she did; she didn't really keep in touch now with many people from back home and who she'd gone to high school and college with, so it was nice to talk with someone who she didn't feel as if she had to try and really get to know, since they both already had the common link of Mikki and also in way Sebastian in their lives.

Is it weird teaching? Do the kids respect you?! Because I know a lot of the younger teachers, we would often try do get away with more; and they were sometimes too scared to say anything because they knew what it was like a lot more recently then that of the older teachers at the school!
As for Mik and Seb, breaking up – yeah I got to say I was also so stunned by it; as I had seen them be so totally into one another for years, and thinking that they will get married one day and have like six kids or something, for which I am totally the cool auntie too; for them to just break up like that! I will admit I have tried to hint that Mikki should start dating again, but it's very clear that she still hasn't let go of Seb; nor he really have let go of her, if the commenting on Marley's recent Facebook post between the two of them is anything to go by.

Hitting enter as she grabbed her cell phone again; she went through to Mikki's profile on Facebook and then into her friend's list; and scrolled down until she saw Artie's profile and tapped on his photo to view it as a message came back from Artie on the dating site.

I think the kids respect me more actually because I am a bit younger. Have quite a few of them come to talk to me about things, I doubt that they would go to the older teachers about; and it's nice being able to help them out a little.
And I am glad I was not the only one thinking how crazy it was that your sister and my bestie ended things; and was totally convinced that they wanted all that you said there with one another.
So Mik isn't dating anyone?! Has she gone on any dates at all that you know of?! I do know Seb is kind of maybe sort of seeing someone, pretty sure it's not serious though because he hasn't even posted anything with this girl in on his Facebook; but I just know that he has been out her a few times because he did mention it in just some casual conversation. But you cannot tell, and I repeat NOT TELL Mikki this – I know it might get her dating again; but I'm kind of holding out hope that those knuckleheads see the error of their ways; and either Mikki comes back here to SC or Seb moves out to San Fran, because I honestly can't see them with anyone else but each other.

Nodding her head in agreement to what Artie had written, although knowing it was indeed pointless as no one could actually see her doing this; she typed back a reply.

Won't tell, if you don't tell; cause can see you're still on Mik's list of friends on Facebook. Adding you as friend, accept if you want, and we can talk on there rather than on here. Feels strange talking to someone I kind of know on a dating website!

Sending the message through she stood, going into the bedroom of her apartment and grabbing her laptop which was on charge in the corner of the room; went and sat on the bed and went into Facebook on the web browser and saw that Artie had accepted her friend request and also sent through a quick message as well.

Hi Kitty! ;) Much easier to talk on here, agree; but won't your sister and my best friend see that we're now friends on here and maybe wonder why?!

Laughing as she typed back a message, Kitty smiled also.

Maybe, they will. But it really isn't all that strange, we've got more than a few friends in common, Mik, Seb, Kurt, Ellie; so we can just be all like, needed that person for sending items needed for games; and please do send me Candy Crush lives, I am always in need of them! And what the others don't know, surely won't hurt them!

Hitting enter on the message, she went and scrolled down that of her page and going to Marley's post and then clicking 'view more comments', clicked on Sebastian's name to look at his profile, to indeed see if there was maybe anything indicating as to what Artie has mentioned about him going out with someone new, but couldn't see anything in regards to this; as the messenger sound chimed and she looked to the small pop up to see a reply from Artie.

Oh dear god, not another Candy Crush nut; but sure will do as long as you return the favor! ;) I sometimes get stuck on a level for weeks, and it's so frustrating! And, agree what they don't know won't hurt them! Being lovely talking with you, but it's getting rather late here now; so we will talk soon! Bye Kitty, have a great evening and stay safe until I talk with you again!

Smiling as she read over the message, Kitty typed back a final reply to Artie.

At least you don't spend money on getting the bonus things to get through the levels...or do you?! And you just don't want to admit that! Being nice talking with you as well, especially considering all the assholes you meet on dating sites; it's rather nice to talk with a genuinely sweet guy for a change. Hope to talk with you again soon, be safe too! Sweet dreams, Artie; night xx

Quickly backing out of Sebastian's profile and then doing a quick scroll through on the newsfeed, she closed up her laptop; and getting changed out of her work clothes, watched some television on the set that was in her bedroom; before also turning in for the evening.

End Note : Thoughts on this - do you think Kitty and Artie work as a pairing?!
Next chapter will be up soon!

Thanks for reading!

Love always,
