The full summary: It was supposed to be a normal summer spent at a lake house with his son and best friend. Some quiet but entertaining evenings in, and swimming in the lake. What Kurt didn't count on was meeting Blaine and having this summer go in a direction he never planned; making him feel things he thought he would never feel, or he'll ever feel again. He is taken by complete surprise when another relationship forms. But what happens when the summer ends and the real world comes back into his life. Can Kurt be happy even though he knows how easy it would be for him to lose it all?
A/N: This is based on the movie Adore. If you want to be spoiled and know what happens, you can look up what that movie is about and what happens. If you want to be surprised, then come into this story knowing nothing. It will follow the movie almost pretty closely, but I will change things up a bit.
"Will you, please, stopping doing that!" Kurt yells to his son, Asher.
For the past six hours Kurt has had to deal with his son being a major pain in the ass. That's nothing new to him. But this is different. This is almost as if he's doing it on purpose to annoy the living hell out of him. And if he is, he's fucking succeeding. Kurt is close to stopping his car and kicking him out. (He never would, though.) Don't get him wrong, he loves his son. He was the best mistake he ever made. But there are days where he just wants to scream to the sky asking what he ever did wrong. Today would be one of those days. The worst part is that Asher knows what he's doing; he knows he's annoying the shit out of him. Kurt can tell by the small upturn of the corner of Asher's mouth in a small smirk. Instead of stopping, though, he keeps pushing him to be mean; to get back at him. It's almost as if he's trying to see how far he can push him before he does something. And Kurt is so close to doing something, that's why he grips the steering wheel so hard his knuckles are turning white.
"Sorry," Asher replies in an annoyed tone; managing to sound like a five year old forced to apologize.
"Don't give me attitude." Kurt looks at his son as he checks his phone. There's no cell service out here. He knows. It's one of the reasons Cayden and he picked the place. Peace and quiet from their lives, and the hectic world they are usually around. Nothing but nature and each other to keep them company.
Cayden, of course, is his best friend he made in the past year when she came to work at the same company as him. They quickly hit it off, and soon they were acting like two best friends who knew each other their whole lives.
"Whatever," Asher huffs, shoving his phone back in his pocket after realizing there's no use for it. "I didn't want to come anyways."
"So you've said a hundred times before."
"Maybe, you should have listened to me those hundred times," Asher says, mimicking Kurt's voice, as he slinks down in his seat and crosses his arms as if angered. "I had plans, you know."
"I do know," Kurt says as he turns onto a new road. "And going to Europe with friends and drinking your summer away isn't plans."
"It is to me," Asher mumbles.
"Besides," Kurt says, choosing to ignore Asher's last comment. "You'll have fun here. Cayden has a son your age. You two can hang out for the summer."
"This is so stupid." Asher lets out a deep sigh, tipping his head back on the headrest. "Why did you have to drag me along?"
"To be together like a family," Kurt tells him. "Is that so bad?"
"Yes." Asher pulls out his phone and plugs in his headphones. Placing them on his ears, he turns his music on in an attempt to ignore his dad for the rest of the drive.
Kurt knows he's lost him for the time being. Asher putting his headphones on is a clear sign he doesn't want to be disturbed. It's best to just leave him be, and let him sulk in his moodiness. Besides, with him listening to his loud music ('Does it really have to be that loud?', Kurt thinks. 'Kid's going to go deaf.'), he doesn't have to deal with annoying little noises from Asher every five seconds.
Another twenty minutes pass in an almost silence-the music coming from Asher's headphones the only noise in the car-as Kurt follows the directions to the lake house he and Asher will be living at for the summer. He sees the house come into view, and he's relieved to be getting out of this car. He loves his son, but he needs a few hours alone after spending the longest six hours with him in the car alone. He needs peace and quiet. And the tallest glass of wine he can get.
Grabbing Asher's headphones and pulling them back from his left ear, Kurt happily says, "We're here!"
Asher just gives him an "I don't give a fuck!" kind of stare.
Ignoring his son's bad mood, Kurt decides to be happy at being here. Two months away from it all is exactly what Cayden and he needed. Time to relax and not worry about anything is what is in store for them. This was the perfect idea, and he's not letting his son's little tantrum about not going to England change his mind about this. Hell, who knows, he might even thank him one day for dragging him along.
"Huh!" Kurt shuts off the car as he looks down the road to where Cayden will be staying with her son. "Guess Cay hasn't gotten here yet."
"This place looks alright," Asher off-handedly comments as he opens the door and steps out of the car as the same time as his dad.
"Told you it wouldn't be so bad." Kurt grins as he gets a good look at the lovely two story house he's renting for the summer. Through the trees, and behind the house, he can just make out part of the lake. The water ripples, and looks inviting.
Grabbing a few of his bags from the trunk of the car, heading to the house, Kurt hopes this summer with Asher is as great as he wishes it to be. He needs it to be great. This is the last summer before Asher leaves for college. The thought of knowing he won't be seeing him every day after this summer is over has him wanting to spend as much time with him that he can these next two months.
"Hey! Dad?" Asher yells to him as he steps onto the porch.
Looking to his son grabbing his bags from the car, headphones resting around his neck, Kurt yells back, "What?"
"What's her son's name?"
Kurt grins at thinking maybe Asher has changed his mind about this summer. It would be nice; not having to worry about his son not enjoying himself. Besides, there is a big chance he and Cayden's son will become fast friends. "Blaine!" he yells in reply.
Hope you all enjoyed the start of this.
