[All in all, Kurt's relieved Thanksgiving is over. He enjoyed getting to spend that time with his family, but the truth is, all he's wanted to do lately is curl up on his bed and mope. The breakup wasn't just Blaine's idea. Kurt ultimately thought it was the best way to save their friendship too, and it ended up being a mutual decision. But it still hurts. He still feels raw and sad, and he doesn't think those feelings are going to go away for a while. There's still a part of him that wants to call Blaine up and ask to try again; Kurt ruined someone's life just so they'd have a chance to make their relationship work and this is how it ends?

But he doesn't call Blaine. He doesn't do much of anything once the holiday and Black Friday is over. He just lies in his bed, staring up at the ceiling, debating calling the girls so they can come over with comfort food. But he's not sure he's in the mood to explain things, and the room doesn't just belong to him anymore anyway, and he doesn't want to bother Older Kurt. In fact, between his recent breakup and the bizarre feelings he's been having around Older Kurt lately, he's not sure how to even look him in the eyes. Why does life have to be so complicated?] Why is this my life?

[He slides his fingers through Older Kurt's hair lazily, giving him a small shrug and a smile.] Because it requires you to take responsibility of two teenage boys, and as far as Dad and Carole are concerned, it would be up to you to keep us out of trouble while they're gone? And because you didn't say anything when I brought it up earlier.

I've gone drinking with kids younger than you two. I think I can handle you. [He chuckles softly, eyes on Little Kurt, taking in the lines of his face and the color of his eyes. Their eyes really are amazing. They look so much better from here than in the mirror.] That's because I thought you might do something stupid if you got to throw a party. Plus you mentioned some mystery crush, I just couldn't stay away from juicy gossip like that.

I'm not a kid. And I'm sure you can handle us, but that doesn't necessarily mean you'd want to. [His cheeks grow warm at the way Older Kurt's looking at him and he leans into to kiss him again, letting it last a little longer this time. He's really going to miss this come tomorrow morning.] ...What made you think I'd do something stupid? If you recall, I was one of the only sober, responsible people at Rachel's train wreck last year. And anyway, I'm not sure I'm going to allow alcohol if we have a party here.

[He laughs.] So did the gossip turn out to be as juicy as you thought it would be?

Well, I want to. [He returns the kiss, humming softly against his lips. Honestly, if he got to choose, they wouldn't have to give this up tomorrow morning. But Little Kurt thinks being friends would be the best course of action for now, and he won't make him do something he thinks might be a bad idea just so they can have this for a while longer. It's not his choice. He's going to miss this too.] You just broke up with your boyfriend and you were kind of freaking out for a while back there. I'd do something stupid on purpose at a party if I were in your position.

More than I'd ever imagine, actually.

That's great! I promise we won't make you regret it. [Right about now, Kurt thinks that whatever will get them to a stable romantic relationship the easiest, without the potential to get messy later is the best course of action, and he knows that if they keep sleeping together, he'll get attached. He'll fall for him and he'll be crushed if Older Kurt doesn't fall back. So this is him playing it safe just as much as it's him trying to be logical.] Did you think I was going to try to get him back or something? The truth is, I think a party would be good for my campaign.

Mm, I'm really glad to hear it. I'd hate to think my feelings for you make for bad gossip.
