A Confused Bird

A fluffy nightangel one-shot I wrote, inspired by this post.

Please enjoy!

Kurt is woken up by a tapping sound coming from his window.  He glances over at his alarm clock.  It’s 3:15 in the morning.

Maybe it’s a cute boy here to confess his feelings for me, he thinks, before dismissing it.  There’s only one cute boy he’d like a confession from and the chances of that happening are dishearteningly slim.  It’s probably just a confused bird or something.

Kurt sits up and looks out his window to see what it is.

Oh.  Well, he wasn’t wrong.

Warren is hovering outside his window, gripping the bottom edge and trying to pull up.  Kurt slides out of bed and unlocks the window to let him in.  

“Oh, hi Kurt,” says Warren, pushing the window open, “Nice boxers.”

Kurt quickly puts his hands over his boxers in an effort to cover up, before realizing his efforts are ineffective.  He drops his hands again.

Warren shimmies into the room and rolls unceremoniously onto the floor, not nearly as graceful as he usually is.

Is he drunk? Kurt wonders.

“Hey, thanks,” says Warren, hauling himself to his feet, his words slightly slurring into each other, “Thanks for letting me in.  Damned window was stuck.”  The distinct scent of alcohol is on him.

Yep, definitely drunk.

Warren takes a moment to steady himself, more or less, “So what are you doing in my room?”

“Your…?” Kurt shakes his head, “Warren, I’m not in your room.  You are in mine.”

“What are you talking about?  This is my…” Warren glances around the room, finally noticing the bright blue bedsheets, the well-stocked bookshelf, the wooden cross on the far wall, the lack of rock band posters.  “Well, shit.  This isn’t my room.”

“Warren, have you been drinking?”

“A little,” says Warren, not really paying attention.  He’s too busy looking around the room, trying to take it in, “Your room is pretty.”

What?  This is not how Kurt expected a drunk Warren to act.  He would have pegged him for an angry drunk.

He doesn’t have time to dwell on that thought, though, because Warren loses his balance again and Kurt has to keep him from tipping over, wrapping his arms around Warren and letting his head lean on his shoulder.

“Look,” says Kurt, “why don’t I bring you back to your room?  You seem like you’ve had a long night.”

“Thanks,” says Warren, trying to stand up straight again and smiling at him like a fool, “That’s nice.  You’re so nice.”

“I try.” says Kurt.

“So, so nice.” says Warren, speaking over him, “You’re like the nicest person I know.  It’s not fair, what are the rest of us supposed to do?  There ought to be a law.  No being pretty and nice at the same time.”

“Pretty?” says Kurt, sure he has heard wrong.

Warren nods, still grinning, “You’re so pretty.  So, so, so pretty.  You’re prettier than…” he looks around the room, trying to find something to compare Kurt to, before looking out the window, “…than the moon.”

Kurt can feel his face heating up, “I think you might be a bit confused.”

“I’m not!” says Warren, sharp enough to cause Kurt to jump a little, “You are pretty!  You’re prettier than anyone I know.”  He leans forward and suddenly their faces are dangerously close, “God, you’re so pretty.”

Part of Kurt wishes this conversation wasn’t happening.  The other part is eating it up.  After a moment, the latter wins out.

“What about me is so pretty?”

Warren leans back again, to take Kurt in, “Your eyes.  You have pretty eyes.”

“They’re yellow.”

“They’re a pretty shade of yellow.  They look like…what are those flowers the professor planted in the front garden?”

“Daffodils?”

“Yeah, those!  They look like daffodils.”

“Well, I’ll take your word for it.”

“And your hair is pretty too.” Warren reaches up and takes a strand between his fingers to illustrate, “I like the blue in it.”

“Didn’t you say the other day that my hair made me look like..” What was the word he had used? “…like an emo poser?”

“Well, yeah.  A pretty emo poser.”

Kurt smiles at that.  His hair is one of the few things he genuinely likes about his appearance.

“That’s pretty too.”

“What is?”

“Your smile.”

Kurt looks down, “Now I know you’re making that up.”

“What?  No I’m not.  What makes you say that?”

“Because you can see my fangs when I smile.”

“Exactly.  They’re so cute.  Don’t you think they’re cute?”

Kurt blushes, unable to make eye contact.

“Hey, Kurt.”

“Mm?”

“Can you keep a secret?”

“Yes?”

“It’s super secret, understand?  No one else knows about this.”

“Okay.”

Warren leans toward him, “I have a big, huge, embarrassing crush on you.”

Kurt has momentarily forgotten how to breathe, “Are you sure?”

“Pretty damn sure.” Then Warren leans forward some more and their lips meet.

A wonderful tingling sensation shoots up and down Kurt’s back.  He grips Warren’s shoulders just to keep himself from falling over.  Warren breaks the kiss, just for a moment to let Kurt catch his breath, before burying his hand in his hair to tip his head back and deepen the kiss.  Kurt wishes this moment would last for eternity.

Guilt catches up with him when he tastes the alcohol on Warren’s lips.

Besides, Warren’s other hand is lifting the hem of his sleep shirt up, exploring the texture of the fur on his back and Kurt decides that’s far enough for one night.

“I think…” says Kurt, pulling away, “…that you should go to bed now.”

Warren looks disappointed, but he nods, “Okay.”

Kurt places a hand on Warren’s arm and teleports them both to Warren’s room.

Warren is nearly thrown off his feet once more, the shock of the teleportation hitting him.  He retches and puts a hand to his mouth.

Oh crap! Kurt grabs his arm again, practically shoving him into the bathroom, throwing open the toilet lid, and trying to keep Warren’s hair out of his face while he empties his stomach.

Poor Warren.  Unexpected teleportations can be rough enough for people who aren’t used to them.  Unexpected teleportations while drunk…

Once Kurt is sure Warren’s done, he grabs some tissues and wipes his face off.  Then he takes a cup from the sink and fills it with water, handing it to Warren so he can rinse his mouth out.

No more kisses tonight it seems.

Once Warren has drunk some water and is no longer looking quite so green, Kurt leads him back into the bedroom.  What Warren needs now is sleep.

“I’m going to take your clothes off now.” says Kurt.

“Are we gonna fuck?” asks Warren.  Not seductively, just confused with a hint of hopeful.

“Not tonight we’re not.  You are far too drunk.”

“Oh.” Warren’s shoulders slump.

It takes longer than expected to get Warren undressed.  His jacket and shirt have extra zippers and fastens on them that Kurt has to wrestle with in order to pull them off over his wings.  Eventually, though, Warren is down to his briefs and Kurt lays him down on the bed and pulls the covers up over him.  Warren is asleep almost as soon as his head hits the pillow.

For a moment, Kurt simply watches over Warren as his breathing evens out.  He looks so serene, so beautiful, like an angel in a stained-glass window.  Kurt reaches out and pushes the hair out of his face.  Apparently, Warren is not quite fully asleep, because he smiles sleepily at the gesture.

Feeling bold, Kurt leans forward and presses a kiss to Warren’s forehead.  Warren stirs, murmurs something that Kurt can’t quite make out, and settles back down into his pillow.

Kurt’s heart flutters.  He reaches toward Warren’s desk, searching for pen and paper.

***

Warren wakes up feeling awful.

His head is pounding, the light coming in from the window is hurting his eyes, and his mouth tastes like a scorpion decided to make a nest in it.

Warren groans, rolling over.  Why couldn’t he have stayed asleep just a little longer.  He was having such a great dream too.  Kurt was in it and Warren was saying something that made him smile that sweet smile Warren couldn’t get enough of and…Warren puts a finger to his lips.  Oh, yeah, that happened too.  That’s how he knows it’s a dream.  He’d probably get a slap to the face if he ever tried to kiss Kurt in real life.

As Warren’s eyes adjust to the light, he looks over at his nightstand.  There’s a note on it, propped up against a cup of water.

Funny, there was a cup of water in the dream too.

Wait…

Warren sits up far too quickly and has to take a minute to let his headache subside.  Once he can see straight again, he takes the note and opens it.

Dear Warren,

You were pretty drunk last night and tried to climb into my window, so I put you to bed.  When you wake up, please drink this water so you don’t get dehydrated.

About what you said last night Regarding what you said last Last night you said you had a crush on me and I want you to know I feel the same way.  If you want to have breakfast together this morning, I would like that very much.

Sincerely, Kurt

Warren smiles, shaking his head.  He’s done nothing, not a goddamned thing, to deserve someone as sweet as Kurt.  He glances up at the clock.

10:25.  They’ve almost stopped serving breakfast by now.

Warren takes the cup of water and downs it before getting up to find some clothes.  He’s got a breakfast date to go to.

Bedroom & Bathroom Reno

  Recently renovated by Alison Giese of Alison Giese Interiors (make sure to follow her on Instagram!), this bedroom and bathroom renovation will certainly inspire you. Here, the designer share more details: “The clients approached us to help them make sense of their master bedroom, that presented with an asymmetrical ceiling, many dark colors on the wall, carpet, and furniture. We aimed to create light and symmetry, and proposed taking advantage of the sloped ceiling by creating an elegant, tented effect with a subtly-striped wallpaper. We designed His n Her built-in wardrobes tucked into niches we designed. Te built-ins were made with a slightly antique, furniture feel. Te client’s favorite reading chair was reupholstered in a flanneled performance fabric, and layers of light textures completed the airy feel.”

My Wraiths - Chapter 3

Charlie ate her breakfast quickly and quietly. The crunching sound from the slightly burnt toast was echoing around the large dinning hall. The lingering smell of cooked bacon and eggs swarmed the room. The taste of the burnt bread mixed with the fatty bacon smell made Charlie want to puke. She looked around the room. She saw all the gold encrusted frames surrounding past family members. Ghosts of her family's heritage persisted to scare her. Was she ever going to have children? She knew she was pressured into continuing the line of the Klarks but she didn't know if she wanted to or if she was ready. She was only fifteen, that only left three years until she had to find a husband. She had only ever talked to girls apart from the gardener and her father. The thought rushed passed her brain and strained her eyes. Placing her fingers upon her temples and swirling her fingers around them, her face was masked with pain. Suffering from chronic headaches made everything she did difficult. She couldn't read for that long or concentrate on anything. Worse of all she couldn't think to hard without great pain yet she had no idea why. She had seen a doctor but he said it was just sleep deprivation – which was true – but Charlie knew it was different. She slept fine although it got disturbed a lot by nightmares. Her gut told her it was something else. Something invisible which swarmed her body and mind but went undetected.

Gretta walked into the room, carrying a plate filled with classic English breakfast. She placed it in front of Charlie – who had a face of utter grotesque. “Please take that away, Gretta.” She spoke with a tone of nausea.

“Yes, dear.” The maid picked up the plate whilst her big feet patted back to the kitchen. Charlie got up. Her eyes were watering and her mouth was dry. Acid lingered in the back of her throat. Vision blurred, she walked to the bathroom. Almost passing out on the way, she ducked her head into the toilet and viciously threw up. Why on this particular day was she feeling this sick? She didn't know and neither did the maid – as she watched from the hallway. Charlie – feeling like eyes were on her – looked to the door to discover...nothing. She could've sworn someone was there watching her be sick.

She cleaned herself up and walked to her bedroom. A pretty, cream dress lay on the bed, waiting for her with gleaming eyes. As she got closer she could see the delicate lace pattern – containing  leaves and flowers. The belt was a soft brown colour. There was a pair of tights lay with the dress with a pair of brown school-looking shoes. Charlie got dressed into this outfit. Putting on the cold shoes and walking out the room. She hated her bedroom. It was just like her...and she hated it: Frail, white and dainty. Charlie hated been reminded of what she was like but it was inescapable truth which trapped her like a cage.

There was a knock at the door. She could almost guess who it was. As she opened the huge door with a strong tug, she was met with Irisa's and Cara's faces. They all smiled then engaged in there daily group hug.

“Oh god, you look like lesbians.” Mamrie stood at the doorstep. Her lollipop, leather jacket and low hanging top were present showing things in Charlie's opinion should be hidden.

“We are not lesbians.” Irisa couldn't hear the sarcasm or hadn't noticed it.

“I'm just joking, calm down you weirdo.” Mamrie had a smirk on her face. She knew how to get under people's skin easily. Irisa was a good target because if you hurt her then you hurt Cara. Two birds with one stone. Mamrie loved to do that. She thought she was been clever yet she wasn't. She couldn't have been more stupid, that was what Charlie thought. Cara looked like she wanted to murder her right there and then. She had a look in her eyes which would scare anyone who saw it but not Mamrie. No she was special. She could withstand the fatal stare like a gorgon. “Do you guys want to come in?” Charlie said, trying to break the tension. They all nodded and walked in and took there jackets off. Cara was wearing a plain white t-shirt. Irisa was wearing one with a rabbit on it. Mamrie was wearing a tight fitted tank top – which didn't cover her very well like clothes should do. It made everyone in the room feel uncomfortable. Not because they were lesbians. It was because she had grown up too fast and looked down on Irisa, Cara and Charlie like they were children allow they were the same age.

“So how's your boyfriend?” Cara asked, her tone was sharp. She had an emotionless face yet it was stern.

“Well, we aren't really going out. We've slept together and dated for about 10 months but I like to keep my options open as possible so an exclusive relationship is the wrong thing for me. Do you have a boyfriend or girlfriend?”

“No actually. My...condition doesn't really give me time to have a relatioship. As much as I'd like someone to hold my hand or -”

“Sleep with.” Mamrie commented.

“Kiss. I quite simply can not put them through it.”

“What's this condition?” Mamrie questioned; she had a look of disbelief – which annoyed Charlie. “That's none of your -”

“She has Bipolar.” Irisa blurted out, looking down at the floor. Her legs were on the sofa, knees to her face. Mamrie scoffed and had a look of ignorance.

“Yeah because that's totally real.” Her face showed she was lying. She knew it was real but why would she lie? It didn't make sense to Charlie nor did Mamrie in general. Cara looked across to Mamrie. The vein in her neck was pumping and her hands were curled into fists. Her face was growing red. Suddenly with one swift movement, Cara's fist had made a lot of contact with Mamrie's face. It was so quick and forceful that Mamrie fell to the floor clutching her cheek. “WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?” Cara screamed. Irisa looked like a lost puppy. Mamrie stood up and punched Cara straight in the eye, knocking her to the ground and began to kick her hard in the stomach. “MAMRIE STOP RIGHT NOW,” Charlie shouted at her and luckily it worked, “Get out of my house.” Mamrie glared at Charlie and Irisa, grabbed her jacket and stormed out. “GRETTA!” Charlie called. Gretta apeared at the doorway in a matter of seconds, it was almost like she'd been outside listening.

“Oh dear, Cara let's go and get you cleaned up. Charlie and Irisa you wait in here.” Gretta picked up Cara and helped her walked out the door and into the long hall. No footsteps could be heard. “That wasn't awful.” Charlie remarked. “What is wrong with you? Of course it was awful.” Irisa looked like a robot. It was strange it was like she was a puppet or a dummy and the voice had come from someone else.

“I was been sarcastic, Irisa.” Charlie said like she talking to a small child.

“Oh.” Irisa looked at the table again.

“Charlie, Irisa can you please come with me?” It was Gretta. They both followed her into a guest bedroom. Cara was on the bed. She looked physically okay. Her cheeks were damp with tears. “What is life? Why am I here? I don't belong here.”
