Its all anyone can talk about.  One would think there were matters of greater importance to discuss other than the fact that he is a virgin.  On every major entertainment news show, people keep talking about how he revealed his big secret.

A loud, audible groan passes Blaines lips as he hides under his blankets in his hotel room.  He wishes he could go back to two days ago before he said what he said.  Just remembering the moment he let slip hes never had sex has an onslaught of embarrassment hit him.

After being in the business for twelve years, Blaine would have thought to keep his mouth shut on something like his sex life.  But no.  He had to go and admit with his big mouth that hes never had a lover.

"Im such an idiot," Blaine groans to himself.

Hes going to burrow under the piles of pillows on the bed and hideaway for the next five years.  At least under the pillows there is no way for people to constantly throw in his face what he said.  Under the pillows, hes safe from peoples unneeded opinions.

At the sound of the bedroom door closing, Blaine burrows even further under the pillows and blankets.  Theres no one he cares to see.  Nothing he can say to make any of this better.  His assistant knows he wants to be alone.  Alone where he cant open his big mouth and say something to embarrass himself.

A few seconds later, Blaine feels the bed dip; feels as someone crawls over and perfectly curls themselves into his side.  He knows who it is without having to look.  Knows there is only one person who his assistant would let in.  Its the one person he makes the exception for.  The one person he wants here even though he thought he wanted to be alone.

"Wake up you lazy bag of bones."

Blaine chuckles at Kurts words.  Its the first time hes laughed since he said what he said.  Just knowing Kurt is here makes it a bit better.

"Blaine?"  Blaine smiles when Kurt manages to worm his way under the pillow which his head is.  "Hi."  Kurt smiles as he leans in close and nudges his nose against Blaines.

"Hi," Blaine mumbles.

"Can I talk about it?"

Blaine nods his head.

"What were you thinking, you big idiot?"  Its said in a teasing tone.

"I wasnt thinking.  Thats the problem.  Have you seen the interview?"

"Yeah."  The word is filled with sympathy as Kurt pushes back the hair on Blaines forehead.

"So, you can understand why I said what I said."

"I can understand," Kurt says.  "I mean, anytime anybody asks me about my sex life I blurt out the answer."

"Dont be mean."  Blaine grins as he playfully shoves Kurt.

Kurt laughs.  But the laughter does on his lips a few seconds later; seriousness is replaced in his voice when he talks.  "How long have you been hiding under your pillows?"

"Two days," Blaine guilty answers.

"I think thats long enough to mope in your embarrassment.  Its time for you to get up and do something."

Blaine smiles when Kurt grabs his hand after sitting up and tugs.

"Come on.  Up," Kurt playfully says as he pulls Blaines arm.

"Im not a dog," Blaine laughs.  "I dont follow on command."

"No, youre not a dog.  Youre a person.  A person who needs to get their self-loathing ass out of bed and show the world youre not ashamed of what you said."

Blaine stops resisting and lets Kurt pull him up.  On his knees facing Kurt, he wraps his arms around him and brings him in for a loving embrace.  "What would I do without you?"  Its mumbled into the curve of Kurts neck where Blaine buried his face.

"Probably have a two-faced best friend," Kurt jokes.  "But in all seriousness, Blaine, youre my best friend.  I just want you to be happy.  I dont want to see you down because of this."

"I know."  Blaine pulls back and stares into Kurts eyes.  Into his ever changing eyes.  Blaine swears one day they are blue, and the next they can be green.  Its fun to see what color theyll be from one day to the next.  Theyre like Kurts own mood ring.  "I love you, Kurt."

"I know."  Kurt gently cups Blaines face.  Blaine turns into the warm touch.  "I love you, too."

Hearing those words arent supposed to hurt.  But for Blaine, they do.  They hurt because he knows Kurt only means it in a friendly way.  Although he desperately wishes Kurt meant those words in a different way, he accepts that Kurt doesnt feel that way for him.  Just because hes Blaine Anderson and been in love with his best friend since he was sixteen doesnt mean his life is like those movies he makes.  This isnt the movie where he tells his best friend how he feels and his friend reveals hes felt the same all along.  He knows Kurt.

Sat back on the bed, Blaine watches as Kurt crawls off.

"What are you doing here, anyways?"  Blaine holds the pillow to his body as he watches Kurt pick through his tray of food he didnt touch from this morning.  "Youre missing your graduation ceremony."

"Meh."  Kurt shrugs his shoulders.  "Its just a bunch of boring speeches and walking across a stage.  Besides," Kurt bites into a strawberry, "my best friend is more important."

"Your best friend who made a huge fool of himself."  Blaine groans as he falls back on the bed and covers his head with the pillow again.

"Hey.  Come on."  Blaine feels as Kurt tugs at the pillow to try and take it away.  "We made progress.  Dont go hiding, again."

"Okay."  The pillow is taken away and thrown across the room.  "You say I need to go out.  What do you feel like doing?"

"You remember that great Chinese restaurant we found last time we were here together?"  Blaine nods his head.  "Lets go.  Im hungry, and you look like you havent eaten in days."

"You know," Blaine says as he stands up off the bed.  "You didnt have to miss your graduation for me."

"I know."  Kurt drapes his arms over Blaines shoulders.  "But I wanted to be here with you.  Not with those people I dont care about."

"But you dont graduate from college every day.  Im sorry."

"Dont apologize," Kurt assures him.  "Im not mad about that.  I will be mad, though, if you dont get cleaned up soon.  Go.  Im hungry, and youre moving slow."

Blaine laughs when Kurt pushes him towards the bathroom.  Playfully smacking his ass.

An hour later finds Blaine freshly showered as he sits across from Kurt.  The restaurant is mostly empty.  Theres only six other patrons.  Here, Blaine knows he doesnt have to worry about being recognized.  Theres no need for hats and sunglasses to disguise himself.  He can sit back and enjoy a nice meal with Kurt.

Blaine nods his head in thanks as their waitress sets down their plates of food.

"How long do you plan to hide in that room under pillows?"  Kurt pulls apart his wood chopsticks and starts to toss his noodle dish.

"Forever."  Blaine reaches over and takes the green beans he knows Kurt doesnt like.

"You cant hide forever."  Kurt grabs some noodles with his chopsticks and places them on Blaines plate.  "It was a stupid slip of the tongue.  People will forget and move on to the next scandalous thing.  Its Hollywood, after all."

"Yeah," Blaine sighs.  "Youre right."  Its true.  His big story will be old news soon enough.  "But for the next month, you know itll be a big story.  I still have to promote this movie.  And you know every journalist will ask about it.  I already deal with same ten questions a hundred times a day.  Now this gets thrown into the mix.  Im doomed."

"Cancel the rest of your press tour," Kurt suggests as he chews on his food.

"Its not that easy."  Blaine dips one of his pot stickers in the small bowl of sauce.

"Youve done it before."

"I know.  But...I only have a week left."  As he eats, an idea strikes Blaine.  "Hey, you know what would make it bearable?"

"What?"  Kurt asks as he grabs a spring roll.

"Come with me.  Come with me to these interviews.  Ill greatly appreciate it."

"Blaine," Kurt sighs.  "You know I hate these things."

"I do.  But do this for me.  Im begging."  Blaine does his best puppy dog eyes he knows Kurt cant refuse.

"I hate when you use that look on me," Kurt grouches.

"Youll do it?"  Blaine excitedly exclaims.

"Yes.  But you will owe me big time," Kurt replies.

"I know.  Ill pay you back."  Blaine grins.  Elated.  Thats all he feels.  Kurt will be there for him.  Having Kurt with him will make this next week so much easier to get through.
