Limited (Glee) Gravitation 'verse pt 3

This is a follow-up to "Close My Eyes and Leap" and "Take a Message Back from Me" taking place a couple of weeks after those two.

“Did Blaine get hold of you yesterday?” Kurt froze up a bit, because first of all, his ex wasn't exactly Kurt's favorite topic on conversation, and second, that tone of voice from Rachel? Rarely meant anything good for him.

“No, I haven't spoken to him since he called and whined about me not coming to the wedding.”

Thankfully, because Kurt might have agreed in a weak moment to keep communications up, but talking with his ex – or being talked at, more often – wasn't something Kurt enjoyed that much. In fact, he'd been pulling back as much as he could while still coming off as friendly. (The last thing Kurt wanted to do was encourage Blaine's barely hidden delusions about getting back together.)

Of course, if Blaine was going to try and get around that by having Rachel play messenger – and if Rachel was stupid enough to let him – well. Maybe it was time to stop playing friendly too.

“Why, did something happen?” Please, please, let it be nothing more than the usual whining.

“Not exactly, but he's thinking about coming up the weekend after next to look at his apartment – you know, get a feel for the place, get his bearings. So I thought we should get a couple of people from NYADA together, go for dinner, take him to Callbacks, you know. Make sure he feels welcome – that he knows he won't be lonely and left out in the fall.”

Like I did went unsaid, but Kurt still knew that that was what Rachel meant. He scowled, not liking the assumption that of course Blaine would be there in the fall, that of course he'd get accepted to NYADA without issue. (Unlike Kurt, which also was unsaid but loud and clear.)

And okay, maybe he was being petty, but spending an evening making nice with Blaine, making sure he got a nice, smooth transition to New York – taking advantage of the hard work Kurt and Rachel had put in – was not exactly on the list of Kurt's favorite things to do. (Or any of Kurt's lits, to be honest.) He preferred spending his rare weekends off with Adam, in private, doing more exciting things than going to Callbacks.

Only that was obviously not going to be an option – Rachel Berry wasn't one to accept “no” after all.

“Okay, I guess we could do that. Not sure how much time I'll have to see Blaine though, between school and work and vogue, but I know I have that Saturday free. I'll make sure to keep it that way.” And ask a few of the Apples to come along, to make sure he'd have some sane people to talk to. Rachel was his friend, yes, but the crowd she ran with at NYADA made Kurt's skin crawl. Being stuck having only them and Blaine to talk to for an entire evening?

No thanks. The mental images accompanying that reminded Kurt of a trapped animal trying to chew its leg off.

He'd ask Adam to come as well, of course, but... Well. The Brit worked as hard as Kurt, but he also had every reason not to want to spend an evening with not only Rachel and her “friends” but Kurt's ex as well.

“...so Sophie from my voice class is letting us borrow a cot, and I thought we could put it in your part of the loft, keep him and Santana from killing each other.” Wait, what?

“What? Rachel, don't tell me you told Blaine he could stay here!”

“No, I didn't.” Thank god. “I wanted to make sure I could get an extra bed first.”

Oh, hell no.

“I'm sorry you went through that effort for nothing, Rachel, but Blaine is not staying here.”

“What? You can't forbid me to have friends stay here, Kurt! This is my home as well!”

“Yeah, it is. And that's why I haven't had Finn come stay here like, half a dozen times already. Because it is your home as well as mine, and I thought having your ex-fiancé staying here would make you feel uncomfortable. Now, if I'm wrong about that, then great, I'll let Finn know he can come visit any time.

“But that doesn't change anything about this situation. Blaine can afford a hotel for the weekend, you know he can, and so there's no reason for me to suffer. That's it.

“Or well, I guess you can insist on having Blaine stay here, but then you will be paying for me to stay elsewhere. And just so you know, that won't get you out of hauling that cot all over town, because there's no way he's sleeping in my bed. Also, you're responsible for keeping him away from my belongings – he doesn't touch a single thing.”

“But Kurt...”

Rachel was pulling out all the stops, making herself look as much as a kicked puppy as she could. Normally that'd make him fold – had, too many times to count – but not this time. Not when it came to this.

“No. I realize that's not a word you're that familiar with, but I don't care. I am not comfortable with having my cheating ex-boyfriend staying in my home, and if you really are my friend then you need to respect that. So, what's it going to be? Me or Blaine?”

Rachel backed down a lot quicker than Kurt had expected after that, though maybe she picked up on the fact that he really was serious when it came to his ultimatum. She didn't back down gracefully however, and it was obvious things would be tense at the loft for a while as a result.

And that was... Well, Kurt was used to it, after all. Rachel made things difficult more often than he cared to think about, for reasons both serious and silly, and for the most part Kurt had learned to navigate around it.

He was not, however, willing to navigate around Blaine. Not any longer.

For years Kurt had given in to whatever Rachel, and Blaine, wanted from him. There had been no limits for what he'd allowed them to get away with. Things were different now though. For the first time in his life Kurt had developed limits, some hard ones even, regarding not only what he'd do for others but also what he would allow them to do to him.

Adam had helped him do that – as had Blaine too in a way, seeing as he was the cause for more than one of Kurt's new hard limits.

In the end though it didn't come down to Blaine, or to Adam for that matter. It came down to Kurt, and what was best for him. And for the time being? That was living with limits.

~The End ~

Myslata of Blau (14th c.) - Alleged vampire of Bohemia, also known as the Blau (Blow) Vampire.

Myslata was a herdsman who lived in a village near Kadam, Bohemia. After his death, he appeared in public and called out the names of people he recognized. These people then died mysteriously within a few days.

Myslata's corpse was exhumed and staked in the heart. But the vampire appeared in a horrible form that night, suffocating several people to death and frightening others to death. He taunted the villagers and exclaimed that the stake would be useful in keeping off dogs. His body was exhumed again and given to an executioner, who pierced it with whitethorn stakes and burned it. The vampire complained and screamed throughout the entire ordeal.

An abbot named Neplach recorded a version of the story in a chronicle dated 1336:

In Bohemia near Cadanus a league from a village called Blau a certain shepherd called Myslata died. Rising every night he made the rounds of the villages and spoke to people, terrifying and killing them. And while he was being impaled with a stake, he said, "They injured me severely, when they gave me a stick with which to defend myself from dogs." And when he was being exhumed for cremation, he had swelled like an ox and bellowed in a dreadful manner. And when he was placed in the fire, someone, seizing a stake, drove it in him and immediately blood burst forth as from a vessel. Moreover, when he was exhumed and placed on a vehicle, he drew in his feet as if alive, and when he was cremated, all the evil ceased, and before he was cremated, whomever he called by name at night died within eight days.

The case also was recorded in 1706 in Magia Posthuma by Charles Ferinand de Schertz.

When in Glee season 4 do you think the break-up between Kurt and Adam was and how do you think it went?

Ha.

This is always a fun rabbit hole to go down.

First of all, I don't necessarily think there was anything to break up because I don't think Adam and Kurt were ever officially anything. They went out a few times, hung out a few times, and that was mostly it. (Do I think they slept together? You can argue either way - but I headcanon that they did - I think it's beneficial to Kurt's story for him to have more experiences.)

But I think they had a non-defined relationship. After they went to see that movie that was supposed to be /their/ movie, things began to fizzle out. (Keep in mind - it's only a month between Girls and Boys on Film and Love Love Love -- insane? why yes, Glee's timeline is)

I'm guessing that Kurt started to slowly not reply to texts right away, and Adam, whom I don't think was an idiot, kind of got the picture. And then when Kurt came back engaged, it kind of confirmed what I'm sure Adam had already been wondering about.

I don't think there was a clear cut moment -- I don't think all stories have definitive endings. I think it was one of those things that gradually tapered off into nothing. Kurt definitely doesn't seem that interested in defining or talking about it right before he gets back together with Blaine, sooo... yeah :)

klaine, kurtbastian, kadam, kurtofsky, kelliott for the ship grid thing 😋‼️

klaine: this should go without saying that this is THE ship for me. they’re meant for each other and no matter what happens, they will always end up back together, come what may.

kurtbastian: now DONT come for me but i like them in VERY specific circumstances. typically they exist in the realm of AU where it can work. i don’t really consider it within canon tho bc kurt just purely hates him 😍

kadam: i’m kinda mean to adam sometimes. like he’s fine, and a cute midgame for kurt ig. but there’s not much there tbh. kurt was still so hung up on blaine that adam just didn’t even get a chance.

kurtofsky: this is one of those ships that i want to get into a bit more. but like with kurtbastian, it can’t sustain itself outside of AU. at no point in canon can it really happen. i think their friendship is the most valuable thing that could be built between them. and that’s on kurt’s call.

kelliott: my fave non-klaine kurt ship. they’re just so good, and elliott would’ve made a FAR better midgame than adam. i feel like if glee hasn’t gotten rid of elliott we would’ve seen even more great moments between the two. i love them ❤️

send me more ships!!

Kadam ~ Prateek Kuhad :

So I see Prateek as the kingpin/pioneer/founding father of independent music in India, I basically worship the guy on a daily basis. Its not that there weren’t any independent artists in India before him, but just the number of people that he has inspired to make original music in this country is absolutely phenomenal. Kadam is another one of his masterpieces which was produced for the Bollywood movie karwaan. Prateek is absolutely crazy with the acoustic guitar in this one(as seen in most of his songs) playing those weird arpeggios on loop I mean how do you even come up with stuff like that???! crazy. I love Prateek and my love and respect for him just keeps growing with every new track he releases:) also, the music video is pretty good, made me wanna watch the movie.

klaine, kadam, kurtbastian, kurtofsky for the ship grid ask game :0

one in every quadrant we did it boys!!!

Klaine goes without saying. So I won't

Kadam.................... I feel like I'm too harsh on Adam and how dull he is alskjfdslkfjdl like he's Nice and Good and that's all I can say. I'm glad Kurt had a chill little relationship in s4 but I'm just not excited for them lol

Kurtbastian doesn't NOT compel me but it's like. In an au he's Kurt's toxic ex that shows up once or twice for drama lol and that's it. People took Grant saying he played Sebastian as flirting with Kurt and ran with it and I'm over here like well Kurt still fucking hates him asjlfksdjkflds

Kurtofsky I've softened up on a lot. It wouldn't make much sense in canon but like. It could be less plausible??? Idk. It's also more of an au situation for me but I also do think thoughts about them so there's that

send me a ship!

Time to Trust (Glee) Gravitation verse pt 5

I had the day off, so you get a kadamtine :)

Part 5 of the Gravitation 'verse, takes place the day after “Stars Will Collide”.

Waking up next to Adam felt great, and more familiar than Kurt would have expected considering how few nights they'd spent together. He basked in the feeling before capitulating to the need to visit the bathroom.

“Blaine was really hurt.”

Kurt jumped, and twisted around. He hadn't turned on any lights, but it wasn't so dark that he could have missed Rachel on his way to the bathroom. That meant she'd heard him and sneaked up to ambush him.

Not okay.

“Really? Did the people at Callbacks not appreciate his performance?”

“What? No! By you. You hurt him, just disappearing like that. He was really hoping he'd be able to talk to you and clear things up.”

Clear things up. More like whine again about how unfair Kurt was for not coming back to Lima for the wedding-that-wasn't, for not just accepting the blame for everything that hadn't gone according to plan, and simply not letting Blaine walk all over him.

Yeah, no. He'd listened enough to Blaine.

“My ex-boyfirend, that I had no desire whatsoever to spend time with or talk with, was upset that I went home with my actual boyfriend? Because he thought we could 'clear things up'? And you thought it would be apropriate to scold me for not doing as he wished?

“Yeah, I'm not getting into that, Rachel. Especially not with you. I've given Blaine plenty of chances to explain himself, but he was more interested in blaming me for him straying. So, I'm done. You want to be friends with him, fine. That's your choice. Mine is to be baseline polite and live my life without him.”

Not that he thought he'd manage that, but he refused to let Rachel push things anymore.

“I am under no obligation to sit around and watch as Blaine prances around on stage. That ended with our relationship, quite a while ago.”

“But Kurt! This isn't like you, to deliberately cause someone pain. Don't you understand how painful it was for Blaine to have you just throw your fling with Adam in his face? He still loves you!”

“Fling?”

He looked at his so-called friend and wondered why he'd kept standing by her, when all she ever did was hurt him.

“Adam is not a fling, he's my boyfriend. And I am allowed to have a boyfriend. I don't have to sit around and be miserable until Blaine decides he's ready to play with me. That obligation also ended when our relationship did. Which you might remember happened because Blaine cheated on me. So he can live with the fact that I've moved on – at least I waited until I was single to find someone else. End of story.

“As for Blaine, well. You want to stay friends with Blaine, then by all means, do so. But I'm done with him. I don't want to spend time with him, I don't want him in my home, and I don't care if he's hurt now. He caused this, not me. And for your sake? Don't try and get in the middle. It won't end well.

“As for now, I'm getting dressed – I'm taking my boyfriend out for breakfast.”

He hadn't planned to do so, had just wanted to crawl back into bed, but Rachel had ruined the mood. So breakfast out it was.

He went back to the bathroom for a quick wash and brushed his teeth before returning to Adam. The brit was awake, and had sorted out clothes for them both.

“Let me just nip into the bathroom for a mo', yeah? Great.”

Kurt dressed, threw some things into his messenger bag, and went to put his shoes on the second he heard the bathroomdoor open. They were out of the door not even 15 minutes after he'd first woken up.

He didn't even look to see if Rachel was still standing where he'd left her – he'd had enough of her for one day.

~*~*~*~*~*~

“So. You called me your boyfriend.”

So he'd heard. Kurt wasn't sure if he'd preferred it that way or not, but this was probably better. They were overdue this conversation.

“Yes? Yes. That's how I think about you. Are you... Are you not okay with it?”

“Oh no, I mean yes, I am! Just, it's the first time I've heard you say something like it. I've been getting the feeling that you've been avoiding that word.” He halted, obviously seeing Kurt flinch. “Ah.”

Kurt took a deep breath, feeling very much like a cliché, and tried to find the words.

“I get it, though, I really do.” Wait, what? “I mean, I wasn't sure before, but I had my suspicions about your roommates, and well. Rachel rather did confirm things. Just, I thought she approved of me.”

Adam looked hurt at that, and Kurt understood it. He'd had his fair share of misunderstandings and hurt feelings.

“I thought the same, and strangely enough I think she did, only in a kind of temporary way? It's just not the long-term future she saw for me.

“The thing is, I was always a bit surprised when she sided with me in the breakup. After all, she's never sided with me before about anything. But. Rachel and I live together, and did so when I broke up with Blaine. Plus, she had just ended things with Finn. And as much as I wish it didn't, that matters.

“If we'd still been in Lima when all of this happened? I don't think Rachel would have sided with me. You see, I might be her friend, but so was Blaine. Plus, before she and Finn got back together she tried to date Blaine.”

Adam's eyebrows shot up and yeah, that did sound crazy.

“I know. It's a long story. The short of it though is that instead of having Blaine as her boyfriend slash duet partner slash father of her children Rachel went back to focus on Finn, with the addition of having her gay besties.

“Had anyone asked her about her plan a year ago she'd have told them that she and Finn was going to get married, and then they were going to live in New York, and Blaine and I were going to either share a flat with them – yeah, I know,” he shook his head, “or live like next door, and we were all going to support her all the way to a Tony before 25.

“Except that didn't happen.

“Finn called off the wedding and put her on a train to here. I broke up with Blaine. So much for that plan.”

If he was honest with himself Kurt had also thought that was how it would go. As crazy as the idea of Rachel and Finn getting married straight out of high school was, he'd really thought it would happen. Just as he'd thought he and Blaine were forever.

Kurt sighed and tried to explain some of the crazy that never seemed real to people outside of his old glee group.

“So yes, Rachel supported me. Not because I think she likes me more than Blaine, but because I was here. Same goes for Santana.

“And then they went back to Lima. They went to the wedding, they were surrounded by memories, and love was in the air and on their minds. Rachel hooked up with Finn,” and he had had words with his brother about that idiocy tonce he'd found out, “and she apparently spent quite some time listening to Blaine feeling sorry about himself because I didn't come. Then she came back here, head full of thoughts about about what her plans for New York really was. Her and Finn, and me and Blaine. And that brings us here, to Blaine being in New York and planning on going to school here.

“Right now Rachel's most likely asking herself why she sided with me in the breakup and trying to find a way to backtrack - without losing my support.”

“I thought you were supposed to be her best friend? Shouldn't it be obvious for her to side with you over the guy that cheated on you?”

“Not her best friend, her 'best gay'. And cheating never really was a dealbreaker for most of our group, more of a...roadblock, kind of. So I wouldn't be surprised if Rachel's thinking about how to get that dream for the future back on track. Which I'd almost be okay with, only I don't think it's good for my brother.

“And it definitely wouldn't be good for me.”

“I think she'll calm down given time, but right now? Me refering to you as my boyfriend might just cause her to explode. As for Santana, well, she'll go whichever way gains her the most – or amuses her the most. There's just no way to know in advance.”

Kurt took in Adam's incredulous look and nodded.

“Yeah, I know. It's kinda crazy. Just, that's how they are.”

He sighed again.

“I want to be your boyfriend. I'll be honest, it scares me too, because the only relationship I've ever had went to hell, but I'm working on that. And I'm not so scared that I won't take the chance. If you want me, I want to be yours.”

Having laid it all out in the open Kurt could do nothing but wait. But for the first time ever he wasn't worried about it. Adam had never given him reason to do anything but trust him, and it was time to do so fully now.

Adam smiled, big and wide, open and full of sunshine and trust, and Kurt smiled back.

“I want that so much. Yes, please. And darling? Know that in return I'll be yours.”

Yes. It was definitely time.
