Thanks for commenting! I thought the story could stand some humour that doesn't come with massive doses of angst :)
Kyle is inspired by characters who tend to forget the world exists beyond what directly pertains to them. It's not that he doesn't know what happened to Blaine, because he does. He just doesn't think about it unless he happens to walk in on the middle of Blaine or Kurt dealing with something directly related to it. I sort of think that's why the boys don't spend all their time bitching about him: he's obnoxious but since he's so self-involved Kurt's dorm room can stay a past-free space when they need it to.
Of course I doubt they'll be so accommodating of him now...
can we have a whole fic dedicated to this magical creature? Seriously, you write extremely intense and heartbreaking angst but I didn't expect you to write absolutely hilarious gold! Just... everything. And then at the end when he was like why don't parent show any respect? This is too much and the perfect way to ease the tension.
Thank you so much! Writing humour is kind of my first love, even though my long fics are angstier than an Evanescance orgy with The Smiths, so it means a lot when people comment on the jokes haha.
And I don't have a whole fic dedicated to the wonder that is Kyle, but if you want more of the same, I recommend the two shows that have the characters he's based on: Veronica Mars (Dick), and Party Down (Kyle).
Both shows are made by the same guy and both characters are played by the same actor (and are screamingly funny). But a word of warning if you've never watched them, Veronica Mars in particular: my Kyle is a much kinder, wiser, more considerate version of Dick. Dick is a disgusting human being who will make you laugh, and at times you will even feel pity for him (he even made me cry towards the end of the show, which I did not see coming), but I can't emphasize enough how awful he is. He does things at certain times that will without a doubt make you despise him. Triggery things. So by all means watch Dick on VM if you want more

omfg. They are both going to throttle him. Or Kurt will, and Blaine will have trouble holding him back because he really wants to as well. And he stole their foood!
Hmmm. I managed to miss responding to three comments in a row when I answered these. Not sure how I pulled that off, but at least I caught it eventually.
Yeah, no one is very impressed with Kyle at the beginning of the next chapter. TANTALIZING SPOILER MAYBE: Even the one character who thinks it's kind of hilarious agrees it's a douchey thing to do.
And there will... kind of be fallout. Originally I planned on making this much longer so I could have both boys face their parents at home the next day but I decided I would be better off focusing on Chapter 5 instead (since it's been taking me such a long time). Parts of what I was going to write will be incorporated at the beginning of the chapter. Mostly it's just going to be Blaine and Kurt competing to see who can be the most mortified XD
