Kurt strapped Diesel into Elliott's car. They were going to go to his house and pick up Socks before meeting Dani and Trent in the woods. Kurt reflected on the previous nights results. He couldn't believe it had been a draw. The New Directions were off form last night and the Warblers were amazing, they'd have to up their game if they were going to beat the New Directions, the Warblers would have to do something new. Kurt had plenty of ideas but he was unsure of how the council worked.
"Earth to Kurt" Elliott's voice shook Kurt from his thoughts. Elliott must have been driving a while because Dalton was no longer in sight
"Sorry?"
"Wow you were lost there for a second" Elliott laughed "What's wrong?"
"Nothing just thinking what song I should sing for my audition for the solo for regionals" Kurt smiled
"Well its Christmas first, the Warblers always put on a show; if you get a solo for the show it'll help you get the regionals solo." Elliott said helpfully
"Are you auditioning?" Kurt asked
"For the Christmas show yes, I'm unsure about the regional's one though. I love to sing but I don't know if my voice is powerful enough." Elliott shrugged
"Ellie of course your voice is powerful enough, I know I haven't heard you sing on your own but you're amazing with the others"
"You are too kind" Elliott laughed
"Sing to me then, so I can hear you on your own," Kurt murmured, putting his hand on Elliott's lap
"Sing what?"
"Anything"
Elliott looked unsure at first but then he began to sing, hesitant at first be his voice built,
I'm gonna marry the night
I won't give up on my life
I'm a warrior queen
Live passionately tonight
I'm gonna marry the dark
Gonna make love to the stark
I'm a soldier to my own emptiness
I am a winner
I'm gonna marry the night
I'm gonna marry the night
I'm gonna marry the night
I'm not gonna cry anymore
I'm gonna marry the night
Leave nothing on these streets to explore
M-m-m-marry m-m-m-marry m-m-m-marry the night
Oh m-m-marry m-m-m-marry m-m-m-marry the night
I'm gonna lace up my boots
Throw on some leather and cruise
Down the streets that I love
In my fishnet gloves
I'm a sinner
Then I'll go down to the bar
But I won't cry anymore
I'll hold my whiskey up high
Kiss the bartender twice
I'm a loser
I'm gonna marry the night
I'm gonna marry the night
I'm gonna marry the night
I'm not gonna cry anymore
I'm gonna marry the night
Leave nothing on these streets to explore
M-m-m-marry m-m-m-marry m-m-m-marry the night
Oh m-m-marry m-m-m-marry m-m-m-marry the night
Nothing's too cool
To take me from you
New York is not just a tan that you'll never lose
Love is the new denim or black
Skeleton guns are wedding bells in the attic
Get Ginger ready climb to El Camino front
Won't poke holes in the seats with my heels cause that's
Where we make love
Kurt joined his boyfriend, harmonizing. Elliott's tenor mixing with Kurt's countertenor
Come on and (Run)
Turn the car on and (Run)
Run!
I'm gonna marry the night
I'm gon' burn a hole in the road
I'm gonna marry the night
Leave nothin' on these streets to explode
M-m-m-marry (Marry!) m-m-m-marry m-m-m-marry (The night!)
Oh m-m-marry (Marry!) m-m-m-marry (Marry!) m-m-m-marry (The night!)
The night!
The night!
The night!
(The night!) Yeah, yeah, yeah!
(The night!) The night!
(The night!) Come on, yeah!
(The night!) The night!
As they sang the last line together Elliott pulled his car into his driveway.
"You have a beautiful voice, Ellie" Kurt said softly
"We sound perfect together" Elliott whispered, leaning over to capture Kurt's lips with his own, Kurt kissed him back- making Elliott moan against his lips.
"I love you" Elliott murmured, breaking the kiss. Kurt was caught by surprise for a second, he knew his own feelings for Elliott were just as strong- he hadn't wanted to say anything in case he scared Elliott away.
"I love you too" Kurt replied, lightly kissing Elliott once more.
"Woof" Diesel added
"And you, you Muppet" Kurt said reaching over the back of the seat to pet him. As he did so the sleeves of his shirt rode up to reveal Kurt's scars. Elliott took Kurt's wrists and kissed the scars lightly.
"You haven't?" Elliott asked
"Not since that day, I've wanted to. So many times I've wanted to. But being around you and the Warblers, it helps. Diesel too. And my therapy. You guys keep me so busy I don't have time to thing about it" Kurt smiled sadly
"I'm proud of you; I know it's hard to stop" Elliott replied kissing Kurt's forehead.
Diesel barked again and wiggled against his harness.
"Come on you, are you ready to meet Socks" Elliott asked in an excited tone, Diesel wiggled even more, trying to stand up,
"If you get him too excited he will pee in your car, and I'm not cleaning it up" Kurt laughed, getting out of the car and letting Diesel out. Kurt barely had chance to grab the puppy's lead before Diesel tried to run off.
"I'll just go get Socks, I'll be back in a minute," Elliott said giving Kurt a chaste kiss of his cheek before disappearing inside. Kurt leant against Elliott's car and watched Diesel sniff around his feet and pounced at a passing butterfly -falling onto the floor when the lead restricted him from jumping any further. Kurt couldn't help but laugh at Diesel's confused little face as he looked around, trying to find his butterfly.
"Hello Kurt," Catherine called when she came around the corner. She wore overalls and held several different flowers.
"Hello Catherine" Diesel barked "This is Diesel"
"I know, Elliott told me, you're taking him and Socks on a walk right?" Catherine asked, leaning against the car next to Kurt.
"Yeah, he's just gone to get her and then we'll go" Kurt smiled
"Hi Mama" Elliott said as he walked out of the house holding Socks' lead and holing her harness in the other hand.
"Hello my little star" Elliott blushed
Socks walked up to Diesel and sniffed him all over. Diesel wagged his tail happily and licked Socks' face. The bigger dog barked and the two began to play.
"Make sure you stay safe," Catherine said kissing Elliott on the cheek, having to go on her tip-toes because Elliott was taller than her.
"Mama, we're just going to the woods,"
"Are you warm enough? What if it snows?" Catherine mothered
"We'll be fine Mama" Elliott said, guiding Socks around the car and strapped her into her harness as Kurt did the same for Diesel.
"Bye Mama,"
"Bye Catherine"
"Goodbye boys"
The two boys got into the car and drove towards the woods. It was a short journey and before long both boys and their dogs were out of the car. The dogs chased each other whilst Kurt and Elliott waited for Trent and Dani. They soon appeared with Prince and Cloud in tow.
The group began to walk along the trail, their dogs running ahead and playing with each other. Elliott held Kurt's hand as they walked together.
"Aww, you two are so cute" Dani cooed, Kurt blushed and hid his face against Elliott's shoulder
"I know, I wish I had a relationship like that" Trent sighed
"Trent you're adorable, someone will snap you right up" Dani smiled, nudging Trent with her shoulder.
"Yeah, it's not like I planned on meeting Ellie, it just happened" Kurt shrugged.
Diesel came running back to the group, panting with a stick in his mouth. Prince trotted up behind him and grabbed the other end of the stick. He pulled it slightly and Diesel let the smaller dog take the stick. The Corgi trotted up to Trent, who took the stick off him and threw the stick and Prince sped off after it. Diesel hesitated, looking up at Kurt.
"Go on, go get it" Kurt encouraged as the little dog chased after Prince. Suddenly Cloud appeared from seemingly nowhere with Socks hot on her heels, they end up taking Diesel out. The puppy skidded along the floor and whimpered when he stopped. The four teenagers gasped in unision at the scene.
"Diesel" Kurt called and the puppy limped back whining. Kurt reached down and picked up the puppy, struggling slightly due to Diesel's weight. Diesel whined as Kurt cradled him against his chest.
"Is he okay?" Elliott asked
"I think so, I think he is scared more than anything" Kurt said, rocking the puppy like a baby. Diesel nuzzled Kurt's neck. Kurt kissed the top of Diesel's head and put him back on the floor. Prince walked up to him and licked the side of Diesel's face.
Within the space of five minutes Diesel was back up and running. It took about an hour for them to walk around the whole trail before they got back to their cars. Trent pulled a picnic basket out of his car and they set it up. Kurt filled a big bowl full of water and the four dogs began to share it.
Trent had brought some sandwiches, and cakes and sugary drinks. Kurt kept feeding Elliott fruit and Trent and Dani made gagging noises. That was until Kurt and Elliott started throwing grapes at them.
Once they had finished their food Trent said that he needed to get home and Dani was meeting up with some of the girls from Crawford. Kurt and Elliott said goodbye to them and got into their own car.
Kurt had enjoyed the day; it had been a long time since he had so many friends. Sure he had been with the New Directions but they were too different. Spending time all together outside of glee club wouldn't have worked because of their conflicting interests but with the Warblers and Dani you could guarantee that at least two other people liked it too.
"Can you drop me off at my house?" Kurt asked once they were in the car
"Sure, how are you going to get back?" Elliott questioned
"My car is at the house. My Dad drove me to Dalton so I didn't have it with me." Kurt explained "It feels like it has been ages since I saw my Dad but it's only been two weeks and I talk to him every night"
"I know how you feel, it's weird. But we go to a boarding school so I suppose everyone feels that way" Elliott replied
"I think I might call Mercedes and see if she wants to do something tomorrow, I miss her" Kurt said sadly
"She seems scary" Elliott pointed out
"That's because you're dating me, she can't let anything happen to her Boo" Kurt laughed as Elliott pulled up on Kurt's drive. Kurt undid his seatbelt and leant over and kissed him. Elliott deepened the kiss, sending sparks through Kurt's body and he could practically feel the blood rushing down to his groin. Kurt broke the kiss but he didn't pull away.
Kurt laughed, slightly embarrassed, he wasn't hard but he knew that if Elliott kissed him again he would be. Instead Elliott rubbed his nose against Kurt's in an Eskimo kiss.
"I'll see you later?" Kurt asked, Elliott hummed
"We haven't gone on a proper date yet," Elliott said suddenly, "We should go on one"
"Well what about we go to Breadstix?" Kurt asked "We can meet there at 7"
"Ok, sounds great" Elliott said, lightly kissing Kurt again. Kurt climbed out of the car and was forced to wake Diesel up and get him out of Elliott's car. "I love you" Elliott said when Kurt was about to shut the door, waking up the butterflies in his stomach.
"I love you too"
As Elliott drove off Kurt knocked on the door, he didn't have his key on him. Kurt waited a moment and watched as Diesel almost fell asleep on his paws. Carole opened the door and smiled when she saw Kurt.
"Kurt I didn't know you were coming" She said pulling him into a hug.
"Well I needed to pick up my car and I thought I'd stay for a bit." Kurt smiled
"Well your Dad is coming home from the garage, he'll be home soon. Finn is in the lounge." She said as Kurt walked into the house "Are you staying for dinner, they'll be enough, you're Dad's friends are coming"
"No, I'm meeting Elliott at seven" Kurt said "Hey Finn"
"Hey Kurt, how's Dalton?"Finn asked from where he was sat watching the TV.
"It's great, everyone is nice and I make money by gossiping" Kurt shrugged. Apparently confirming that he and Elliott were dating was worth a lot of money to the Chipmunks, he haddn't really meant to join in on the gossip industry but the three boys had kind of cornered him.
"Awesome dude," Finn replied, not really listening. Diesel waddled to the fluffy rug in front of the unlit fire place and immediately fell asleep.
"Carole I'm home" Burt shouted through the house, "Kurt" he exclaimed when he walking into the living room, he pulled his son into a hug.
"Hello Kurt" said the two of his Dad's friends,
"Hi Cain, Aaron" Kurt nodded
"Is everything ok?" Burt asked
"Yeah, I was just in the area and thought I'd drop by." Kurt smiled, before falling into an easy conversation with his family
A couple of hours later Kurt and Elliott were sat in Breadstix across from each other with Diesel asleep under the table. The date was going perfectly. The pair shared stories from their past (happy ones) and told stories about other people. Elliott especially enjoyed the story where Jesse St James made breakfast on Rachel's head. Elliott told Kurt that his Dad had been attempting to redecorate the kitchen and ended up pulling the cupboard off the wall.
They had eaten the main course and were waiting for their desert (chocolate cake for Elliott and a fruit salad for Kurt) when things went horribly wrong.
"Hey Homo's" Karofsky snarled, Kurt flinched and Diesel woke up and sprang to his paws.
"Go away Karofsky" Kurt said quietly
"No, you're so pathetic. Trying to kill yourself because I scared you" Karofsky laughed
"Back off, he didn't try and kill himself. And you wanna talk about whose pathetic. It's you, someone who attacks every gay guy around him just because he is too scared to leave the closet" Elliott snapped standing up. Diesel growled and took a step towards Karofsky.
"What did you say?" Karofsky said, slamming his hands on the table, making Kurt flinch again, however Elliott stood his ground.
"You heard" Elliott replied
"Excuse me; I think it's best if you leave" Sandy, the waitress, said to Karofsky.
"This isn't over faggot" Karofsky hissed
"Ok that's it mister, you are banned from this restaurant," the manager of Breadstix snapped "I will not have you attacking customers, regardless of their sexuality. Now get out"
Karofsky looked at the two boys before making a frustrated noise and storming out of Breadstix slamming the door on his way out. The manager then turned to Elliott- who was still standing. He smiled apologetically
"I am so sorry about that, we'll give you your meal on the house" the manager said
"It's not your fault." Elliott responded politely.
"Either way you don't deserve to be treated like that, no matter where you go," the manager explained
"Thank you" Elliott murmured as he sat back down and the manager walked away. Kurt was shaking quietly, cradling Diesel. Elliott leant over the table and took Kurt's hand in his own.
"Kurt, baby, you're okay. You're safe. He's gone" Elliott said softly, stroking the back of Kurt's hand with his thumb. Kurt sniffed as Diesel licked the tears from Kurt's face.
"Do you wanna stay for desert or go back to Dalton?" Elliott asked
"I...I wanna stay, I'm not going to let him push me from my local restaurant"
Just then the Sandy brought them their deserts.
"Move up," Elliott said, standing up. Kurt scooted along the booth and Elliott sat next to him, Diesel slipped back under the table. Kurt cuddled up to Elliott as he ate his fruit salad; they sat in silence for several long moments.
"Kurt?" Elliott asked, Kurt looked up. "Do you wanna try some of my cake?" he asked, holding out the fork, Kurt nodded and Elliott fed Kurt the cake before kissing him.
"He can't break us" Elliott murmured
"No, he can't"
