This was most definitely not how Kurt had planned the start his fabulous European vaycay. He sighed heavily, where the hell had his fellow glee clubbers gone? In other words, Kurt was lost in a huge airport. In London. He checked his phone for what seemed like the hundredth time, still no texts from anyone. Really starting to feel the weight of his admittedly rather large and over packed Louis Vuitton suitcases he decided to sit in the coffee shop until he figured out what to do. Because right now his only plan was saying screw the glee club, checking himself in to a nice hotel and living it up in London until someone decided to look for him. And that had to be his last option if he wanted to escape this ungrounded, because going MIA in a whole new continent was grounds for house arrest till college. He crashed into a seat at the only available table and dropped his luggage to the floor.

Maxxie set his coffee down and leaned over to whisper to Tony. "He is so on my team." he gestured to the cute disgruntled guy who had just stormed in and collapsed a few tables away. "Of course he's on your team. He's carrying designer suitcases." Tony rolled his eyes, "Go introduce yourself, he looks lonely, give him a nice welcome to London." Tony looked at Maxxie suggestively, "Plus I'm sure you want to be somewhere else when Michelle gets back." Tony said in a way that suggested he was not above trying to do his girlfriend in a busy public place. "You are too damn shy." he practically pushed Maxxie out of his chair.

Maxxie walked over to the table, trying to channel some of Tony's, I'm-sexy-as-hell-and-you -know-you-want-me attitude, but not too much because that would just scare him off right away. He leaned over the table just a little, "Hey, anyone sitting here?"

Kurt looked up to see a gorgeous blue eyed blond boy across the table. "Oh...um...no feel free." he stammered and blushed, moving some of his luggage out of the way. The boy sat down across from him and smiled warmly, "Hi I'm Maxxie."

"Kurt."

"You ok, you look lost or confused or something." Maxxie wanted to kick himself, he was not handling this well, he was clueless.
"The friends I came with disappeared and won't answer their phones. So essentially I'm stranded here in a foreign country alone." Kurt realized too late that probably wasn't information he should give a complete stranger, even if the aforementioned stranger was looking at him with blue eyes that seemed to see straight through to his heart. Maxxie smiled awkwardly, "Well I could show you around the city until they miss you."

Kurt didn't know how to respond. On one hand there was a gorgeous boy who seemed to be flirting with him. On the other hand this guy was a complete stranger and going off alone with him might not be a good idea. Kurt made a split second decision, what happened in London stayed in London right?

Maxxie was starting to freak out, had he been too forward? Why the hell had he let Tony get him into this? Kurt smiled impishly, "Let's go. But first can I put my suitcases in your car?" as usual Kurt's clothes where first and foremost in his mind. Maxxie laughed, relieved, "Sure."

Kurt couldn't help but be a little overwhelmed as he found himself suddenly immersed in a foreign city with a strange boy. London was breathtaking, although he frequently found his eyes wandering to Maxxie as well. And that accent, he was just making small talk about the places they walked past but there was something undeniably sexy about every word that left his mouth. Not to mention the slightly sensual way he moved, he seemed hyper aware of his body and how he moved. "Are you a dancer?" he blurted out impulsively.

The tips of Maxxie's ears turned red, "Yea, how could you tell?"
Kurt floundered for an answer that wouldn't give away how closely he had been watching the blond Brit. "It's something about, like...it's the way you carry yourself I guess." he managed to get out. God he was making a fool of himself. Did he even have a good reason to think Maxxie was gay? Maybe everyone here was that friendly. "So are you in any extracurriculars?" luckily Maxxie spoke before the pause in their conversation could turn into an awkward silence.
"I sing. I'm a glee club loser." why didn't he think before he said these things, he could have said he was in a band, or did the whole singer songwriter thing. No, instead he made himself sound like a loser. No one here knew him, but he still managed to be the bottom of the social ladder.
"Well I hope I get to hear you sing while you're here." Maxxie smiled and looked down, blushing slightly.

"Only if I get to see you dance." Kurt wasn't sure if that sounded flirty or not, wasn't sure if he wanted it to sound flirty. He was blushing now as well.

"Maybe I can teach you a little bit." Maxxie got the feeling that came across as pretty suggestive. The chirp of Maxxie's phone broke the silence that had fallen. Text from Tony, Hey party at Michelle's tonight. Bring your new friend if he wants to stick around ;)

Kurt was checking his phone obsessively, he still hadn't heard from anyone. He and Maxxie were sitting at a cute outdoor cafe, sharing a plate of fries that Kurt knew his skin would pay for. But Maxxie asking him if he wanted to share a plate of chips in that accent was pretty impossible to resist. But it was getting late and as pleasant as his day with Maxxie had been; he still didn't know what hotel he was supposed to be at, meaning he had nowhere to sleep. In addition to still being for all intents and purposes abandoned.

Maxxie noticed Kurt checking his phone for what seemed like the million and tenth time. "Have you still not gotten a reply?"
"No." Kurt sounded distressed, "No one has called or texted me back and it's getting late. Haven't they noticed I'm freaking missing yet? I don't even know where they're staying." Kurt's anger seemed to be covering up the fact he was a little bit frightened, but who wouldn't be stranded in a foreign country. "If you need a place you could probably stay with me." Maxxie spit out quickly before he could change his mind. Kurt looked apprehensive; after all they hadn't even known each other for twenty four hours. Eventually, it seemed like an eternity to Maxxie, Kurt sighed, "If you're sure it's not a problem I might need to."

It was nine p.m. and Kurt had given up on the glee club, instead he was lounging in Maxxie's room, trying to relax and stop thinking the worst. After all, how many teenage boys stalked airports for people to bring home and rape or brutally murder? Not many. Maxxie came in from the bathroom, "Hey Kurt, you wanna go to a party tonight, it's going to be fabulous." Kurt debated for a moment then grinned, "What the hell why not." Maxxie winked at him, "Can I do your makeup?" Kurt stared dumbly, was he being serious? But it wasn't like anyone he knew would see.

Maxxie lined Kurt's eyes in kohl liner, the edges winging out to the sides, over silvery eyeshadow, dusted his face with glitter, and brushed a touch of clear gloss on his lips. He was having to put entirely too much effort into not stroking the American boys cheek, kissing his soft full lips, running his fingers through his silky hair. "Are you done yet?"

"Yea go ahead and open your eyes." Maxxie inhaled sharply as Kurt's eyes opened, the smoky shadow and thick black liner dramatic against the glasz eyes and ivory skin, his formerly immaculate hair now slightly messed up, disheveled. "Kurt you're beautiful." he breathed without thinking. Kurt blushed, the dark color flooding his cheeks adding to the smoky, dramatically sexy look. "A-am I overstepping?" Maxxie stammered, Kurt grinned flirtatiously, "Not at all."

Kurt pretended not to be fazed by Maxxie's comment but internally he was freaking out, a gorgeous guy had just called him beautiful. Why couldn't American boys be more like that? He tossed his hair, "Don't we have a party to attend?" he linked an arm through Maxxie's trying to act like he went to parties and got hit on all the time, even though the only party he had ever been to was Rachel's. But that was the glory of this, no one here knew anything about him.

Maxxie couldn't stop himself from watching Kurt's every little movement, from the sway of his hips to the way he readjusted his hair. Honestly he felt vaguely stalker-ish. The street in front of Michelle's place was lined with cars, the pounding music audible from down the street if not even further. Maxxie threaded an arm cautiously through Kurt's, what was going on with him today? He could normally flirt shamelessly with any guy, he was never this...cautious, why was this delicate American so different?

Kurt jumped a little as he felt Maxxie loop his arm through his own, guys where he was from weren't that forward, but hey Maxxie was technically his date right? Not that Kurt knew the first thing about parties.

Almost as soon as they walked in Kurt found himself choking on thick smoke, both cigarettes and marijuana, with someone pushing a drink in his hand. Kurt took a small sip and grimaced at the taste, then left it on the nearest table. He was in over his head now, and no longer sure he could fake having a clue when he was so obviously out of his element. He caught sight of a table of wine coolers, maybe those would taste better.

Maxxie scanned the room looking for Kurt, having lost him already. He did see Tony; he was worth asking if he wasn't trashed. "Hey Tony have you seen Kurt?" he yelled over the pounding music. "Who the hell is Kurt?" Tony looked thoroughly confused; Maxxie considered mentioning the airport earlier but Tony was too drunk to be rational. The party had begun to spill into the backyard, he might as well check out there.

Kurt lay on a hammock out in the furthest corner of the yard, in the end he just wasn't cut out for the party scene, even here. He just hoped he could get back to the house and fake it before Maxxie found out what a loser he was. Of course his luck didn't hold out as Maxxie came through the trees with a drink in his hand. "Hey Kurt, something wrong? You're just hiding out here."
"I'm fine; the truth is I'm just not much of a partier." Kurt blushed, embarrassed, Maxxie smiled at him, "Honestly neither am I." Kurt decided he might as well make conversation, "The last party I went to ended in a friend of mine trying to hook up with the guy she knew I was crazy about, then since I was the only sober one there I had to drag his drunk ass to my place, my dad chewed me out for having a guy in my room, and he repayed me by going on a date with the chick from the party when they both knew I was crazy about him." good gaga open mouth insert foot why had he just said all that, he had only had like two sips of a wine cooler, he couldn't even blame the alcohol. Maxxie threw his head back and howled with laughter, "Ohmygod Kurt that's awful, what a trainwreck, maybe you need some new friends. Especially if these are the people who apparently don't care you're missing right now." Listening to Maxxie's assessment Kurt found the humor in the
situation and began giggling.

Something clicked in Maxxie's mind as he stopped laughing. Kurt had mentioned a guy he had been interested in. "Kurt are you gay?" he asked rather tactlessly. Kurt's giggles immediately halted. Oh god, now was going to be the moment he found out Maxxie was just a flamboyant straight guy or mildly homophobic and not have a place to stay. While Kurt panicked Maxxie did his own freaking out, was Kurt still in the closet? Was it a rough subject for him? Kurt sighed, "Yea, I'm gay." Maxxie blinked, "Then hopefully you won't mind if I do..." Maxxie placed a hand on the back of Kurt's neck, right at the base of his skull, tilting his head just a little, "This." Maxxie whispered the last word just millimeters away from Kurt's lips, as he crushed his mouth against Kurt's he felt the slim brunettes lips tremble. Kurt leaned into the kiss, letting Maxxie nudge his mouth open with his tongue. One of Maxxie's hands stayed at Kurt's neck, the other slid down his side
to rest on his hip. Kurt made a small noise as be buried his fingers in Maxxie's thick blond hair and tilted his face for a better angle. Maxxie' removed his hand from Kurt's neck and instead began to rub slow circles on his back. A low moan slid from Kurt's lips as Maxxie straddled him, Kurt laid back in the hammock, pulling Maxxie down with him. Maxxie deepened the kiss even more and Kurt's fingers tightened in his hair as he groaned. Kurt wrapped his arms around Maxxie's waist, the tips of his fingers in the back pockets of the Brits skin tight jeans, Maxxie's hands were at sides of Kurt's head, one hand cradling his face. He slowly stated to kiss down the brunettes slender neck, occasionally biting gently, then down his collarbone. Kurt's body arched up, he slid his hands under the wiry boys shirt, along his chest and back as they both moaned into the kiss. Maxxie reluctantly pulled away, not wanting to push things too far, but stayed laying on
top of Kurt, his head on his chest listening to his heartbeat. Kurt sighed heavily, running his fingers through Maxxie's hair. "Do we need to get back to the party? Is anyone going to miss you?"
"No let's stay here longer, I love lying outside at night, especially where I can see the stars."

"Look there's the big dipper." Kurt pointed as he and Maxxie scanned the sky, lying side by side in the hammock. Maxxie pointed out another constellation Kurt had never heard of. Kurt rested his head on Maxxie's shoulder and Maxxie settled an arm around his shoulders, his face nestled in Kurt's neck. Their lips met again. As they broke apart again they went back to stargazing, Maxxie showing off how many obscure constellations he could find and name, Kurt pointing out the obvious ones like the dippers and Orion, which Maxxie seemed to find awfully cute, judging by the kissing, nibbling, cuddling and giggling.

They stayed cuddling under the stars until Maxxie noticed the noise from the party had quieted and pulled out his phone to check the time. "Shit Kurt its two in the morning we should go." Kurt pouted slightly but complied.

Back at Maxxie's apartment Kurt was wondering where in the small room he could sleep. Maxxie came out of the bathroom, "So, sorry this place is so small, I don't mind sharing the bed, if you're ok with sleeping together."
Kurt must have looked alarmed because Maxxie blushed crimson. "N-no not like that or anything I swear." Kurt giggled, "That's fine as long as you don't hog the blankets."

Kurt was once again doing his best to appear nonchalant in a situation that quite honestly freaked him out. It would be different if Maxxie had like a queen size mattress instead of a freaking twin. There was just no way two people could fit on a twin bed and not be all over each others' personal space. He tried to relax and ignore the fact that he was sleeping with a gorgeous boy, sure he had had to haul Blaine to his house because he was drunk and wound up sharing a bed with him. But there was a huge difference between your best friend and crush who didn't like you back and spent the night all over a girl even though he claimed to be gay being passed out wasted in your bed and a gorgeous guy who spent the night cuddling and kissing you laying intimately close. Kurt closed his eyes and hoped he would be able to sleep.

Maxxie cautiously reached out and rested his hand on Kurt's side between his ribs and his hips. He felt Kurt tense and jump a little and was about to remove his hand and apologize for being too forward when Kurt relaxed into his touch.

Kurt had dozed off well before Maxxie, who once again felt like some kind of stalker as he watched the petite American sleep, bathed in the silvery moonlight, until he fell asleep himself.

"Has anyone seen Kurt lately?" Mercedes asked as they settled in their rooms. "I haven't seen him since we landed."

"Who's he rooming with?" Rachel wondered.

"Kurt's rooming with me." Sam walked in on their conversation. "Why?"

"Because we don't know where he's gone." Rachel seemed rather matter of fact.

"Has anyone turned their phone on since we got off the plane?" Mercedes was getting concerned.

"No." both Rachel and Sam replied, all three of them looked at each other. Tina came in, "Hey guys how many people are staying in here, somehow me, Quinn, Britt, and Santana all got assigned to the same room."

"Tina have you checked your phone since we landed?"
They all pulled out their phones almost simultaneously. "Kurt, twelve missed calls, six unread messages." Tina read off. "Kurt twenty missed calls fourteen unread texts." Mercedes went next. They continued to read off the numbers of missed calls and unread texts. Each of them began opening the messages, then looked up at each other. "We lost Kurt."

Kurt woke slowly, feeling content but unsure of where he was. As he became more aware of his surroundings he remembered everything that had happened the day before. The he realized he was spooned against Maxxie, who was asleep with his face nuzzled into Kurt's hair. He sighed happily and let his eyes flutter closed again, relishing the feeling of waking up in someone's arms.

The last thing Maxxie expected was to wake up with his arms wrapped around Kurt. But far from feeling uncomfortable he it felt right somehow. He exhaled deeply, his breath stirring the silky strands of Kurt's hair. The dainty brunette looked up at him "Morning." he said brightly, Maxxie blushed at being caught holding the other boy. "You want to go make chocolate chip pancakes?" he asked, trying to take the focus away from their position. "Mmm in a little bit." Kurt rolled over so his face was tucked against Maxxie's chest.

Maxxie turned on the radio in the kitchen as they hunted down ingredients. "Hey Maxxie, didn't you say something about teaching me to dance yesterday?" Kurt asked, teasing.
"Well if you insist I can show you something right now." Maxxie took Kurt's hands and placed one on his neck, the other on his shoulder, then settled his own hands on Kurt's slim hips. He began to turn, guiding Kurt along, counting steps just loud enough for them both to hear. Before long they were dancing together like they had been dance partners for years. Maxxie twirled Kurt under his arm then dipped him down low, bending over him to kiss him on the lips. As Maxxie pulled him back up Kurt blushed and giggled. Without breaking the dance Maxxie picked Kurt up and set him on the kitchen counter, leaning in and kissing him deeply, slipping his tongue between his full lips. Kurt made a small noise and bit Maxxie's tongue and soft lower lip. Reluctantly they pulled apart, "Have you checked your phone yet today?" Maxxie asked, Kurt got up to go get it while Maxxie started the pancakes.

Turning his phone on Kurt was greeted with a mountain of texts and missed calls from what looked like everyone in the glee club. He called Finn.
"So you finally figured out I was missing eh?"

"Ohmygod Kurt, where are you, we want to pick you up as soon as we can, I can't believe this happened, Burt is gonna kill me, Ohmygod I'm so glad you're ok. One minute I were with the rest of us the next you were just gone and everything was so crazy everybody just assumed somebody else knew where you were. Where are you?" Finn was rambling on, Kurt padded back out to the kitchen and held the phone away from his mouth, "Hey Maxxie, what address should I have them pick me up at?"

While Maxxie was giving Kurt the address Finn was mentally freaking out. He would be in enough trouble with Burt for losing Kurt in the first place, and now it sounded like he had spent the night with some guy. Kurt gave Finn the address and Finn related it to the glee club, who began arranging transportation.

"So are they coming to pick you up?"

"Yea."

"I was hoping I could keep you longer." Maxxie put a hand on Kurt's as they ate. "Keep in contact with me?" Kurt asked with puppy-dog eyes. "Of course." Maxxie smiled sweetly, writing his name, address, email, phone number, and twitter down, Kurt did the same and went to go get dressed.

There was a knock on the door and Maxxie went to open it. "Is Kurt Hummel here?" a curly haired man asked. "Kurt they're here." Maxxie called, "You guys can come in." as they piled in they looked at each other questioningly, Kurt didn't seem like the type to shack up with some guy he didn't know. Kurt smiled thinly at them,

"So you did eventually realize I was gone." he raised an eyebrow.

"You need to fill us in on what went down later." Mercedes stated, hugging him and looking at Maxxie distrustfully. "We should go." Mr. Shue looked a little uncomfortable, "Thank you for taking care of Kurt." he nodded to Maxxie. Kurt broke away from the group and hugged Maxxie tightly, "I'll, miss you, alot, even if we haven't known each other long. It seems like we've known each other much longer." Maxxie buried his face in Kurt's strawberry kiwi scented hair one last time. "I'll miss you too; it is hard to believe we haven't even known each other forty eight hours.
I'll add you on facebook and such as soon as you leave. I didn't realize it could be this hard to say goodbye to someone you barely know."
Then to everyone's surprise Kurt kissed Maxxie passionately on the lips one last time. Maxxie sighed as Kurt pulled away, he's had never met anyone like this wood nymph American boy before and didn't think he ever would. Both boys found themselves tearing up. Kurt had never met anyone quite as open, fun, wild and loving as Maxxie, he could only hold on to the hope he would meet a guy like that in his future, he held back tears as Maxxie closed his door. He couldn't wait to tell Blaine all about his European adventure. Of course for now he had to deal with the suddenly rather rabid looking new directions.

A/A- So most people probably wouldn't think of this pairing but I think Maxxie and Kurt would get along really well. I know its probably a little ooc for Kurt to just go off with some guy in a foreign country but the story wouldn't work if he hadn't. I get the feeling there probably isn't much of a fanbase for this pairing…ok there probably isn't a fanbase at all, but I think they'd be great together. If youve never seen the original british skins I highly suggest it, but don't Waste your time with the American one. If there's a lot of interest in KurtxMaxxie tell me, I'm thinking about extending the Kurt meets Maxxie on a trip to London idea into a multi chapter fic, please review if you read, and let me know what you think of the two of them together.

I don't own either of these fabulous shows, skins or glee, if I did Maxxie and Kurt would be the main characters and there would be some crossover :P
