Unfortunately, I don't own Glee. If I did... Darren Criss would be my baby daddy.
I finished off the last drops of my latte and blankly stared at my watch. Not only was Kurt late, but my twin sister Charlie was as well. But what do you expect? Girls always run behind for some reason… and Kurt can never decide which Alexander McQueen scarf goes better with certain pairs of Marc Jacob shoes. This is why he gets up two and a half hours early for EVERYTHING. Which confuses me to no end. Why waste the time? Kurt looks amazing in anything he wears… But now I'm getting off track.
My parents divorced when me and Charlie were eight. I lived with our dad in Columbus, and Charlie with mom in Dayton. The split was really hard on the both of us. We saw each other almost every weekend when we visited our aunt in Xenia, but that was never enough. As we got older, we resented the fact that we never grew up like normal siblings. Of course, we know everything there is to know about each other, but not being close took a toll on us. We're now in our sophomore year of high school, and Mom announced that she was getting married, and she'd be moving to Toledo. Charlie was wickedly upset. Mom saw that she was completely against the idea and made arrangements for her to move in with us in Columbus.
Words can't explain how happy I am.
I glanced at my watch again. Still no sign of either of them. I was really hoping Kurt would turn up soon. It was crucial that him and Charlie met. She always said she needed to approve of my relationships before they got too serious. Even though me and Kurt were nowhere near a relationship… yet.
I stood to my feet and made my way to the counter. "Another latte, please." As I pulled out my wallet, a familiar voice stopped me, and I smiled.
"Don't even think about paying for that, Mr. Anderson." Kurt walked towards me and nudged me away from the counter. "My treat. I've kept you waiting too long." He ordered himself a coffee as well. There was no use in refusing his offer. Kurt always won this particular battle.
I chuckled. "Let me guess, another McQueen crisis?"
"No, actually!" He exclaimed, walking with me to the table. "Armani crisis."
I clutched my chest dramatically and smirked. "Oh. How horrible. I'm glad you survived."
Kurt playfully slapped my arm. "Okay, smartass. Where's your sister? I can't wait to meet her!"
"Not sure. She should have been here forty-five minu- OOF!"
I was cut off by a pair of arms wrapping themselves around my shoulders until I could barely breathe.
"Never mind!" I gasped, "She's here"
I broke free of Charlie's grasp, and stood to give her a proper hug. "Where were you? I was starting to get a little worried!"
"I'm sorry, Blaine!" She said, still embraced in the hug, "Traffic was crazy, and I was the dumbass who forgot to charge my phone last night." She pulled away with a slight frown.
"No worries, love," I replied. "You're here, and that's all that matters."
A smile graced her lips as she glanced in Kurt's direction.
"Oh! Charlie, this is my friend Kurt. Kurt, This is my wonderful sister, Charlie."
Kurt smiled sweetly and offered his hand. "It's so nice to meet you Charlie!'
Charlie smiled and pushed past Kurt's hand and embraced him in a hug.
"I'm not much for formal introductions, sweetie. Any friend of Blaine's is a friend of mine!"
Kurt smiled. "I've heard so much about you! Blaine practically wouldn't shut up."
"Oh my God! I've heard the same about you!" Charlie squealed.
Kurt smiled and gave me a subtle wink, and I blushed. "So far, so good." I thought.
xXxXx
Two hours had passed, and Charlie and Kurt were getting along like they had knew each other for years.
"Okay!" Charlie squeaked. "Point taken. Petrificus Totalus is pretty badass, but I'm still hooked on the Imperius curse."
"Seriously, sis? It's called an Unforgivable Curse for a reason."
"I don't know, Blaine. It sounds pretty cool to have someone do WHATEVER you want them to do," Kurt winked at me again, and I smirked.
"Okay." Charlie said before taking a sip of her coffee. "Favorite professor?"
"Dumbledore!" Me and Charlie said simultaneously. We chuckled over a high five.
"I'm actually a fan of Snape," Kurt admitted.
I groaned. "He was a dick!"
"He was badass! He played both sides very well, thank you."
"Dumbledore is the smartest, most awesomest, practical, beautiful wizard in the whole world."
Kurt leaned in a bit closer and smirked. "Then why did Snape kill him?"
Charlie's mouth dropped. "Burn!"
My stomach flipped. He was adorable. "That was low, Hummel," I said with a pout.
Just then, Kurt's phone rang. He excused himself politely. It was his dad.
Charlie glanced at me with a grin.
"What?" I glared at her.
"We'll talk later," She said, nodding towards Kurt, who was returning to the table.
"Sorry, guys. Dad needs my help in the shop. We should meet here again soon! How about Friday? If you're not busy, that is"
"Yeah! Sounds great." I replied.
"Can't wait!" Charlie said as she enveloped him in another hug.
Kurt turned to me. "See you at school?"
"Of course." I smiled and pulled him into a hug, not wanting to let go.
Charlie and I said our goodbyes and returned to the table as he left.
"So." She said.
I looked at her quizzically. "So?"
"I want the details on Kurt. Why aren't you dating?"
I stared at her for a minute. "Kurt's just a friend."
She raised her eyebrows. "And… why aren't you dating?"
"I don't want to rush anything. He's been through a lot these past few months."
"Bullshit." She said with a smile.
"Seriously, Charlie."
"Do you remember when mom and dad took us to King's Island for the first time?"
"Yeah. We were seven."
"Yep. It was so much fun. We played at the water park, and took a family picture atop the Eiffel Tower, and when we were leaving, we stopped at the ice cream shop."
"And I dropped my cone!"
"Yes! You were so upset. It was like that small ice cream cone almost ruined the best day of your life, but one of the workers came out and gave you a bigger one for free."
I looked at her with a half smile. That was when life was amazing, and unbroken.
"When you saw that new cone, your face lit up, Blaine. You had a twinkle in your eyes that said, 'No one can ruin this. I'm on top of the world!'"
My eyes met hers. "What's your point?"
She grinned a cheesy grin. "The point is, I know that look. You look at Kurt the way you look at ice cream."
I exhaled with a chuckle. "That was kind of cheesy, sis."
"But you know it's true. Don't even try to deny it."
I laid my head on the table. "I'm pretty sure he doesn't feel the same way."
"Oh, yes he does. You're not the only one that gets a little twinkle in your eye." She sipped her coffee and raised her eyebrows. "I think you should do something about it."
As always… she was right.
R&R. Please and thank you!
This is the first thing I've written in awhile.
