Reunion

Part 2

"Kurt.... I'm sorry no, I won't go with you" Brett replied calmly

"Please... I promise, it's not a trick!" Kurt exclaimed, pain in his voice

"I know it isn't a trick, but... I can't just forget everything you've done, I'll make you a deal, if you really care about me, prove it. If you can show me that you really want back in my life, then we can go to prom together..." Brett really didn't want to get hurt again, but he wanted his friend back, maybe more, so he would risk it.

"Ok, I promise, I'll be a better friend from now on! I just... don't want you to hate me anymore..." Kurt's ears laid back and he frowned

"Kurt... I never hated you, I mean don't get me wrong, I couldn't stand you, but deep down, I wanted my friend back," the pair smiled as they left the tree-house together and headed back to Kurt's car.

"So... neither of us are going to homecoming" Kurt said a bit sheepishly "SO... Movie night at my place tomorrow night? like old times?"

Brett thought the offer over for a couple minutes, not knowing quite how ready he was to spend time alone with Kurt. In the end he decided it was worth it.

"Ok, sounds like a plan, can you come get me around say... six?"

"Sure can!" And with that the two pulled up outside Brett's house, he got out and went straight to his room, he was still to exhausted to do much else.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kurt drove straight home, smiling the whole way, he hadn't been this happy in a long time, by the time he got home it was 8 O'clock and by the look of things, his parents were pissed

"Kurt where have you been?!" yelled a large orange tigress from his front porch "Your father and I have been worried sick!"

"Sorry mom, I was with Brett!"

"Really? well... hmm... I can't be mad I suppose, after all you haven't seen him in so long! And it wouldn't be fair to ground you the night before homecoming, just next time give us a call!"

"Actually about homecoming, I'm not going," Kurt said, worried about his mother's reaction

"Oh? why not?" she asked quizzically

"Well, Brett wanted to come over for a movie night, I hope it's ok with you?"

"As long as you two will be alright on your own, your father and I have a date planned! going to the cabin tomorrow morning to spend the weekend, we'll be back Tuesday!"

Kurt finished talking with his parent's and went up to bed, he had a great day ahead of him!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Brett woke up early the next day, normally Saturdays meant sleeping till noon but not today, he was up at 8, mainly because Vi wouldn't stop texting him

Vi: Why the fuck didn't you tell me

Vi: Don't make me come hurt you

Vi: We BOTH know I can!

Brett: Vi what are you talking about

Vi: A) u and Kurt were friends and B) that ur gay

Brett: Sorry never told anyone can we talk about this later?

Vi: no I'm outside, come let me in

"what the... damn it Vi" Brett grumbled to himself as he walked to the front door

"Bitch! you've got some SERIOUS explaining to do!" Vi exclaimed as she barged past Brett and into his living room

"Vi seriously, it's no big deal"

"No big deal? NO BIG DEAL?! it's HUGE! and it explains why you never let me set you up with someone! Seriously aren't we supposed to be best friends of something?!" Vi was overly animated as always, her white lopped ears swaying as she moved.

"Ok, ok I'm sorry, I just... didn't want to tell anyone I was nervous..."

"Well hate to break it to ya' then sweety, EVERYONE knows now, Kurt's jackass friends made sure of that!" Vi expected Brett to be in shock, but he just started laughing like a madman "Da'fuq? You losing it on me now"

"No it's just funny! I always imagined that when people found out I'd be devastated, but honestly... Who cares! I mean... You were really my only friend anyway and you don't even seem to care!"

"Course I don't! SO how about that homecoming dance tonight?"

"Sorry Vi, I've got plans... with Kurt..."

"WHAT?! Seriously? explain yourself before I decide to beat some sense into you!" Brett had never seen this side of Vi, normally she was the perfect goth princess, half the time she acted to frail to even carry her own parasol!

"Vi... we used to be best friends... I miss him like crazy, and he seems genuinely sorry, so I'm giving him a chance to prove it... We are having a movie night tonight, at his place, like old times"

"Ok, just... be smart... and if he does anything to you, just let me know, and I'll have Clay beat him to a pulp ok? Hell... might do it myself!" The thought of tiny little Vi standing up to a hulking tiger was too funny she and Brett both broke down laughing. "Oh shit! Clay's outside, mind if he comes in?"

"Uh... I guess not"

Vi whistled out the door and Brett could hear heavy footsteps come up his porch, in stepped Clay, Vi's boyfriend, the sight of the two together was, strange... Clay stood at eight feet tall, a hulking wall of sculpted dragon muscle covered in midnight black scales, Vi stood about 5 foot 6 inches and was slender and willowlike, the big black dragon positively dwarfed the tiny white and purple bunny girl.

"Lemme at him!" Clay yelled as he burst into the door, barreling straight towards the red-headed human. Brett let out a tiny yelp as he was grabbed by the giant reptile, lifted off the ground, and pulled into a nearly crushing hug. "Congratulations buddy glad to see ya finally come out! I've been telling this little lady you were... erm... down with the dudes... Since the day we met!" Had it really been that obvious? The human thought to himself.

"Well thanks Clay... but I didn't really have a choice in the matter... Wait.... you and Vi talk about me?!"

"Oops... sorry Honey Bunny, looks like I said to much again!" Clay said to Vi with a chuckle. "And seriously, doesn't matter, hell I guess yearbook committee wants to give you a special place now! BUT if anyone decides to give you any trouble, you just come find me, got it!?"

"Yeah thanks big guy... can you uh, please put me down?" Brett chuckled

"Yeah sorry! Vi always tells me I'm to... affectionate" Clay laughed as he lowered the human to the floor.

"Hey, just don't get to friendly with him Clay... or we'll have a problem!" Vi joked, the three laughed and Vi and Clay helped Brett get ready for his first night trying to fix things with Kurt

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kurt was so excited, he had been up since six that morning, he had everything set up, he had even bought twelve new movies on blu-ray just to make sure he had one Brett would like. It was four and he was getting ready to go to the human's house to pick him up when he heard what sounded like huge wings flapping followed by a knock on his door, he went to answer it and saw someone he did not expect, Clay.

"Hey Kitty mind if we talk?" the large dragon was seriously intimidating, even to a big guy like the tiger

"Um... sure come on in Clay" Clay ducked through the door and entered the tiger's home

"Look, I heard what you did to Brett, and how now apparently he's giving you a second chance." Clay hadn't so much as looked at Kurt since he cam in and it was making him uncomfortable. "So I thought I would come make something as clear as possible to you..." Clay turned to look at Kurt, his red eyes practically burning a hole in the poor feline. "I am as of now officially Brett's Guardian Angel. You hurt him again... I will personally make sure it's the last thing you do, understand?"

Kurt couldn't speak, he tried, but no words came out, barely even a cough.

"I said... DO YOU UNDERSTAND?!" The dragons voice raised loud enough to shake the house, Kurt was worried it would cave in on them, he had heard stories about how powerful dragon's were, he didn't want to test this one's patience, and possibly end up on the wrong side of the behemoth's throat...

"Y-yes sir!" Kurt finally found his voice "I promise!" he was terrified.

"Ok, good, now... Brett doesn't know I flew over here, he'd be pissed if he found out. I don't figure I need to tell you how bad that would piss ME off as well." with that parting remark Clay left the house and flew off into the distance.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kurt arrived at Brett's house just in time and found him waiting on the porch, Brett sent a text to Clay saying Kurt showed up, the dragon made him agree to send him updates and to call him if anything went wrong, said it was part of his "Angel duties" Brett had a nagging suspicion that Vi had come up with that whole concept. he walked over to the car and a smiling tiger jumped out to greet him. Kurt walked him the the car and opened his door for him.

"I ordered us some Pizza it should be there when we get to my place, Oh, and my parents are away for the weekend so we can be as loud as we want!" The feline smiled over at his human friend. The human was getting nervous, what if this was some kind of trap, or what if Kurt tried to push him into things... He'd have faith, and if nothing else, Clay could be there in a few minutes if he called him.

"Cool... so what movie did you get?" Brett asked, trying to keep from seeming rude

"I got a few actually, I'll let you pick when we get there!"

The two rode the rest of the way making small talk about the weather and school until arriving at Kurt's place, Brett couldn't help but smile when he got into Kurt's room, he would have imagined it to be decked out in sports themes, but it was the same as the last time he had seen it... what surprised him most was what he saw hanging on the back wall, a poster of the two boy's favorite anime FLCL that Brett had gotten the tiger for his birthday and the last photo they had ever taken together at an anime convention the two had gone to near the end of eighth grade year... Brett couldn't believe the big striped feline had kept these mementos for so long.

"Wow, not what I was expecting." Brett said musingly.

"What do you mean? Dude, you've been in my room before!"

"Yeah... but you're so... different now..." Brett said quietly

"Honestly... it's an act... I just got so sick of being picked on, I decided to change.... things...." Kurt went quiet for a moment "Wow... I really sound like an ass don't I?"

"What? No I get it..."

"Yeah, but I changed to get away from being picked on... then picked on my only real friend..." the room was quiet... awkward quiet... until the pizza guy knocked on the door "Ok, you pick out a movie, I'll go get the pizza!" Brett looked through the movies lined up until one in particular caught his eye "UP!" he always had a thing for pixar movies, Kurt came back up with his favorite, cheese stuffed crust with pepperoni and feta cheese.

"So you decided what you wanna watch yet?" Kurt asked setting down the pizza and some cans of cola onto the table in his room

"Yeah 'UP!' I've been really wanting to see it!" The tiger chuckled at his friend's enthusiam

"I figured you would pick that one, honestly I'm glad you did!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

By the end of the movie Brett was crying, Kurt was trying his best not to, still trying to keep his cool, but wishing he could go back to his days of nerdy fun, at least having Brett around was a good start!

"So Brett wanna spend the night? would your family be ok with that?"

"I'm sure, they will be, they let me do what I want with my weekends for the most part, they'll just be glad I'm out of the house"

"COOL! I'll set up the spare bed for ya!" Kurt said cheerily.

"Ok I'm gonna go make a quick phone call I'll be right back" The human left the room and went downstairs, pulled out his phone and found Clay's name in his contacts list, it rang a few times and then Brett heard the deep rumble of the voice of his his Guardian Angel.

"Hey buddy everything ok? you need me to rip him apart yet?" Clay asked in a serious tone.

"No, actually I just called to check in, tell you I'm gonna be spending the night here and that you don't need to worry, tell Vi I said hi, and that I hope to hear all about the dance on Monday." Brett said, the whole arrangement was awkward, but he didn't want to piss Clay off, and he was even more terrified of what Vi would do to him if he broke the deal.

"Ok, it's your decision, just... be careful, and remember I don't care how late it is, call me if you need me and I'll be there!" It was kind of funny, Clay seemed to be treating Brett like a brother, it was a nice feeling honestly. Brett finished the call and went back upstairs, the spare bed was made and Kurt was waiting for him

"Hey there ya are, I was worried you decided to leave!" Kurt said joking

"Well I considered it, but then I remembered that I was actually enjoying myself!"

"So let's keep going!" Kurt pulled a Wii Classic controller from behind his back, "Super Smash Bros. or Mario Kart?"

"Super Smash Bros.!" Brett said excitedly.

Kurt picked Link, he always did, and Brett used his best character, Princess Peach, Kurt was honestly not surprised when he lost, Brett had always been better at Super Smash Bros than he was!

"Wow that was great!" Kurt proclaimed, then he looked at the clock 3AM "Damn man it's late we need to get some sleep!"

"Agreed, see you in the morning man." and the two went to bed for the night, both happier than they had been in a long time, and excited for whatever tomorrow would bring.
