Of Wine and Coffee- A Kurtbastian Glee fic

Chapter 7: Love

~It’s easy to fall in love. It’s also easy to fall out of it. ~

“How is he, Kurt?”

Kurt was in the choir room that Tuesday, attending Glee practice as usual. Mr. Schuester had yet to arrive so the Glee club members were stuck in the room, waiting for him. Kurt took this opportunity to take one last look at his music sheet. He was planning to sing his song today and after Burt’s surprise visit and his abrupt yet entertaining attempt of dancing to Single Ladies about a couple of hours ago, Kurt was feeling more cheerful and ready than he had been for days.

Rachel had turned to him with a wistful look in her eyes that Kurt just had to ask what was wrong.

“Who?” Kurt asked. “Sebastian?” When Rachel nodded, he sighed. “He’s doing fine, actually. There was some…emotional times, but he’s doing fairly well, now,”

“Is he still snappy?” Sugar asked rather curiously. “Like during the funeral?”

“He’s still his usual sarcastic self, if that’s what you’re asking,” Kurt leaned back against his chair.

Blaine shifted in his seat to look at Kurt. Kurt struggled to return the gaze. “So…” Blaine began, his face as though he was searching for the right words. “Everything’s…alright, now?”

Kurt nodded slowly. “You could say that,”

Blaine exhaled and gave Kurt a smile. “Well, that’s great! I know it must have been a lot to take in,”

You have no idea…

“Alright, guys!” said Mr. Schuester as he walked into the room. “Sorry, I am late,”

“Man, you could’ve come in later,” Puck groaned. “I was just about to fall asleep,”

“The fact that you managed to stay awake for the last 15 minutes was a miracle,” Santana said breezily, admiring her newly polished nails. Brittany leaned her head against Santana’s shoulder and offered her own comments. Santana merely rolled her eyes and smiled at the blonde, patting her head affectionately.

Kurt envied them.

His heart grew heavy at the sight of them and determinedly looked away. As he tore his gaze away, he managed to catch sight of Blaine. It would seem that Kurt was not the only one looking at Santana and Brittany. Blaine glanced at them for a brief second, a wistful smile forming on his lips and turned away.

“Who’s turn is it today? Anyone of you wants to dedicate a goodbye song to somebody?” Mr. Schuester asked, casting an expectant look at everyone in the classroom.

Kurt’s hand shot up in the air before Rachel could begin raising hers. He gave her an apologetic look and got out of his seat. He gave Mr. Schuester a smile before turning to rest of his friends.

“I would like to dedicate this song…”

Say good-bye to not knowing when

The truth in my whole life began

Say good-bye to not knowing how to cry

You taught me that

 

And I’ll remember the strength that you gave me

Now that I’m standing on my own

I’ll remember the way that you saved me

I’ll remember

Kurt’s voice echoed through the hallways as Sebastian approached the choir room. He had just gone back from Dalton Academy and Burt had asked him to wait for Kurt to finish with his Glee club practice before they could go home. Not really trusting himself not to feel awkward around Burt in the car, Sebastian had asked whether he could wait in the school. Burt had hesitated but allowed him, in the end.
