Author(s): scrunchycolfer Title: Make Me Fall In Love Word count: 4,000 Pairing (or lack thereof): Klaine
Summary: Kurt is a little lost in his suddenly mundane life. The last thing he expects to come across on his walk home is a lone windblown figure perched on the wrong side of the railing on the edge of the bridge, poised and ready to jump. In a spilt second, without even thinking about it, Kurt rushes to save him. With his arms wrapped around the waist of this total stranger, failing over and over to talk him down reasonably, he makes a desperate gamble. The man's 25th birthday approaches, and Kurt bets that before then, he can prove that life is worth living. So against the ticking of the clock, the two of them embark of wild adventures, trying to find the best parts of being alive. Slowly, Kurt thinks that it might be working, and this man might be falling in love with his life again. But is that all that's happening?
Short Excerpt:
Forty-five minutes later, he was outside again, trembling, waiting for the police.
When he'd dialled 911, they had told him it would be no time at all, but every second was feeling more like a minute now. In the darkness, surrounded by shadows and too much knowledge, too much experience all at once, he tried to gather his thoughts. But he was frayed. It was impossible to process everything all at once.
The moment the sounds of sirens reached him, he was instantly pushing off the wall and standing out on the footpath, eyes trained ahead. The ambulance rounded the corner, a police car following close behind. In unison, they pulled to a stop right in front of him. Kurt felt a little unsure, a little uneasy. He'd never been in this situation before. He didn't know what to do.
Out of the car leapt a woman, her long black hair pulled back in a ponytail, her navy uniform tailored unusually well, and the dark circles under her eyes expertly concealed. Kurt shifted a little at the sight of her, trying to decide if he should speak first. She was certainly intimidating. Her easy elegance, and vague air of aloof calm were enough to make anyone want to keep their distance. But although her general appearance may have been that of a Hollywood actress playing at the role of a cop, she was still a thirty-five year old woman with so much seriousness in her face, she somehow managed to highlight the gravity of the situation. Kurt felt a little more at ease the moment she was on the street beside him.
