AN:First of all, sorry for the wait. I tried writing this weekend while I was in Poland, but my great cousin got ordained to a catholic priest and I needed a lot of vodka after being forced to spend countless hours in church every day while I was there ( and I don't really understand the language, apart from being able to order vodka)

Secondly, after Santana and Quinn, Britt finally gets her own POV and storyline. I hope I did her justice. Plus, aunt Kate reappears and gets to comment on the boys relationship from her POV. Picture her as Anne Hathaway pre Les Miserables.

2x05 Anniversary

Previously on NYADA Sophomore Year. Kurt and Blaine both auditioned for the school musical. Blaine's audition was sabotaged by Jesse St. James, while Kurt was sure he did well and wasn't cast either. It brought back all his insecurities and he decided not to audition for a solo for Sectionals because he was certain he wouldn't be good enough. Santana attended her mom's parole hearing in prison and was overjoyed when she was granted parole. Shelby noticed that Kurt was being really hard on himself and told him they needed to have a talk about his audition. And that's what you missed on NYADA Sophomore year.

Kurt is not really in the mood to talk to his teacher, but Ms. Corcoran looks determined and there's no way he's getting out of the auditorium without alerting the rest of the team to his presence if he doesn't follow her willingly.

"How about some coffee? You look ready to fall asleep any minute now," Ms. Corcoran tells him once they are outside, away from Blaine and his sad eyes, and Kurt nods eagerly because while he started drinking coffee regularly mostly because of Blaine, nowadays he can't live without it and it makes him cranky if he doesn't get a cup first thing in the morning.

Ten minutes later, they are sitting outside in the quad with two cups of coffee from the teachers' lounge.

"So, let's talk about your audition," Ms. Corcoran immediately gets to the point once they are seated, the still warm autumn sun shining down on them.

"You weren't horrible or anything, but it wasn't quite right either. One problem was that I don't think you really understood the material which caused you to make decision for your characters that just didn't work for the story," his teacher starts and Kurt makes a face, because he read through the libretto more than once and even watched part of the concert version on DVD.

When he spots Ms. Corcoran observing him though, he quickly schools his expression into a more neutral one.

"Let's take 'Pity the child' for example. Technically, you did great, but Freddie, he isn't sad like you interpreted, he is angry, fed up with the status quo, he's basically saying screw you all."

Kurt's eyes widens when his teacher swears in front of him, but he is also starting to think that she is probably right and he might have misinterpreted the song and over acted it in general.

"But you could have coached me during rehearsals if that was the only thing you were criticizing," Kurt dares to interject, but Ms. Corcoran shakes her head.

"Listen Kurt. What I'm going to tell you now is nothing against you. It's not your fault, but often times you won't be right for certain role for various reasons. And you weren't right for Freddie, because you weren't believable. You make an adorable bad boy, but you are not convincing enough – not because you are a bad actor but because you are a sixteen year old boy looking like a thirteen year old."

Kurt wants to protest because by now he must at least look fourteen, but Ms. Corcoran continues before he can say anything.

"And that's not necessarily a bad thing. There may come along a role that's just perfect for you because all your peers look too old. We usually don't encourage our student to try to find outside work, but plays on Broadway and off Broadway often times need young looking performers to play the younger versions of a character."

It sounds exciting but more auditions mean more chances of getting rejected. But apparently this is the exact reason why Ms. Corcoran brought it up.

"Kurt, if you want to be a performer, you need to learn how to deal with getting no-s without breaking down every time someone rejects you. Sometimes even the most talented people never get their big break or it takes them ages to get there because the timing wasn't right or they just haven't been in the right place at the right time yet. So, if you don't think you'll be able to handle the rejections, maybe you should start thinking about alternative career paths. Though it would be a shame because you are a promising young man," Ms. Corcoran concludes her little lecture and Kurt feels like pulling his teacher into a hug, because it sounds like she is talking from experience.

"I'll try not to freak out again the next time I don't get cast for something," he promises because while he hates getting rejected, he still wants nothing more than be on a Broadway stage one day, or even better, originate a role on Broadway or the West End.

"Great. Then why don't you head back inside and join your friends on stage. We wouldn't want our Glee club to lose because one of its members was missing."

Before he can stop himself he quickly pulls her into a one armed hug. Ms. Corcoran looks a bit startled but briefly squeezes his shoulder after he lets go, before heading back toward the administration building.

After finishing the rest of his coffee, Kurt returns into the building with a renewed spring in his step, because if he understood correctly, Ms. Corcoran just gave him permission to audition for off campus productions, a permission that wasn't usually easy to get.

His boyfriend's face lights up when Kurt sneaks back into the auditorium and joins the group on stage during another run through, and now that he feels lighter, he's enjoying performing with VE again as well.

"You alright?" Blaine asks him when they take a break so Nick can give people notes on their dancing. Kurt nods, before he quickly gets up on his tiptoes and presses a chaste kiss to Blaine's lips.

"Much better, thanks," he replies with a smile and steals another small kiss while the rest of the group is still busy.

"I'm happy to hear that because there's something I wanted to ask you. Can you come back to my room with me after rehearsal?" Blaine asks and Kurt's eyebrows shoot up.

"Nothing like that," Blaine immediately stammers when he sees Kurt's expression, and Kurt can feel his face flush because he's had quite a one track mind lately.

"Okay. I'll wait for you once we are done," Kurt assures his boyfriend while waiting for his blush to disappear because he doesn't want to return on stage looking like a red light, especially with his pants a bit tighter than usual.

Blaine doesn't seem to have the same problem, because he returns to the middle of the stage moments later to resume rehearsal and Kurt curses his stupidly sexy boyfriend for always making his body react embarrassingly in his vicinity.

Kurt's lounging on his bed when Blaine comes out of the bathroom twenty minutes later, his unruly curls hanging into his eyes when he pulls the towel he tried to dry them with away.

"Happy now?" he asks his boyfriend who beams at him. "Definitely. You know I love your curls," Kurt replies, before reaching a hand out for him.

"You said you wanted to ask me something?" Blaine nods before sitting down next to Kurt on the bed as close as possible.

"I was wondering if you wanted to come to Boston with me for our anniversary. David invited us to a Halloween party and I thought we could leave Friday night, spend Saturday together before the party and come back here Sunday evening."

What he neglects to mention is that he agreed to tour the campus with David Sunday afternoon because he is afraid of Kurt's reaction. College isn't a subject they really talk about, but Blaine knows Kurt assumes that he will be going to school in New York next year. So he'd rather avoid pissing Kurt off until he has actually finished all his applications and heard back from colleges.

When Blaine looks over to Kurt, his boyfriend looks half excited, half sad, which he didn't know was even possible.

"I'd love to go away with you for our anniversary, but do you honestly think my dad would let me go?"

Well, Blaine can certainly hope.

"I was planning on telling your dad that you would room with David and I'd find somewhere else to crash. But if he says no then we'll just stay here and do something with the girls. I can visit David another time. As long as we're together for Halloween I'm going to be happy," he adds because he knows Kurt is a sucker for romance.

As he predicted, Kurt immediately perks up before he smirks. "But in case we stay here, we should coordinate our plans. You know, we never really started those cooking lessons."

Blaine hangs his head and pouts. "You are never going to let me forget about our first Valentine's Day together, right?" he asked, feigning dejection.

"Nope," Kurt replies, popping the p.

"Well, then maybe you should give me those lessons for our anniversary," he suggested after a beat."

"As long as you don't try to burn down the kitchen again. I really don't want to get kicked out of school now that I'm back," Kurt jokes. In reply, Blaine tackles Kurt on the bed and mercilessly starts to tickle his boyfriend.

Kurt plays dirty though because instead of surrendering, he presses his lips against Blaine's and stealthily puts his tongue into Blaine's mouth. His fingers immediately stop what they were doing and instead wrap around Kurt's small waist.

"How much time do we have?" Kurt whispers in his ear and Blaine shudders. A quick glance at the clock on his bedside table tells him that his roommate won't be back for another hour.

"Plenty," he replies before sucking Kurt's earlobe in his mouth. His boyfriend's reply is cut off by a moan but Blaine takes it as an okay to continue what they were doing.

Kurt is starting up his computer to skype his dad for permission for the Boston trip when Jeff enters the room and flops down on his bed.

"What are you doing?" his roommate asks after a yawn and Kurt points at his laptop.

"Skyping my dad. I need his permission to go out of town with Blaine," he explains, trying not to fidget when Jeff keeps staring at him.

"Not sure that's such a good idea right now because I don't think even you have a scarf big enough to hide that monster on your neck," the other boy finally explains why he is staring and Kurt slaps his hand over his neck before he sighs.

"Not again. I told Blaine not to put them where other people can see," he mumbles and Jeff nods.

"Never go for place you can't cover up easily. My girlfriend could get kicked out of school if I left one where teachers could see. But on the other hand, makes you get creative. You won't believe how much she likes it when I suck on her-"

Kurt decides to cut him off there because after sex ed class he never wanted to here about the female anatomy again.

"Yes, thanks Jeff. I have to go call my dad now. Thanks for the heads up."

He quickly slips outside and sits down outside his room, his back against the wall, before pulling his phone from his pocket and dialing his dad.

"Kurt, how nice of you to call. What do you need?" his dad answers the phone and Kurt cringes because he knows he hasn't called as often lately as his dad would like him to.

"Can't I just call to say I miss you," he tries but he knows his dad is rolling his eyes even though he can't see it.

"I'm sure you do but that's not why you are calling, right?" Kurt nods before remembering that his dad can't see him.

"So, uh, you know it's Blaine and I's first anniversary soon and his best friend David is throwing another Halloween party and uh, I was wondering if I could go. With Blaine that is."

"What's the catch? You wouldn't be this nervous asking if it was just another party. And I thought only that other boy who hosted the party last year was going to college in New York," his dad replies promptly and Kurt bites his lip, thinking of the best way to convince his dad.

"Well, David lives in Boston and I know I'm only a sophomore but I could check out the college while I'm there," he tells his dad as innocently as possible, causing his dad to chuckle.

"So you want me to let you go to a college party for the weekend with your boyfriend, who I caught you hungover with before."

"Well, if you say it like that. But dad. I would sleep in David's room and Blaine somewhere else. And I'm sure no one there would give the obvious high school kid alcohol. I just got told I look like I'm thirteen," Kurt tries to argue but suspects he is only making it worse.

"Tell you what. You've been pretty good about following the rules lately, so here's what I can offer you. Aunt Kate comes with you if she has time and you share a hotel room with her. Where you go she goes, understood."

"Dad, I don't need a babysitter," Kurt whines, though it could be worse. His aunt would probably ditch him the first chance she got anyway.

"That's my offer Kurt. Take it or leave it," his dad reminds him and Kurt begrudgingly accepts.

"Great, I'll call your aunt and let you know what she says. Now tell me why you have been too busy to call me lately."

When Brittany spots the slightly chubby cat behind a dumpster a block away from school she immediately rushes over to check if it is hurt. She's always wanted a pet but her parents were travelling a lot since she started elementary school and so she never got one.

The cat doesn't appear to be hurt, but it's dirty and not wearing a collar. On a closer look she discovers that the cat is a boy cat and Britt decides he'll be the perfect gift for Quinn to get her out of the funk she still is in. Because it would definitely cheer her up if someone gave her a cat. And maybe Quinn will ask her to cat sit from time to time.

Luckily, the cat doesn't protest when Britt picks him up and she presses him tightly against her body, afraid he'll run off if she lets go.

"You'll need a name," she muses on the trek back to school and the cat agrees with a loud meow.

"Let's see you are a little chubby, so maybe Tubby?" The cat in her arms shakes his head and Britt nods. "You are right. Way too common for such a prime specimen. You need a royal name."

The cat meows again and suddenly Britt has the perfect name. "From now on, you will be known as Lord Tubbington the first," she degrees and the newly named Lord Tubbington rubs his head against her cheek.

Unfortunately, Quinn is allergic to cats, though she is sure Quinn once told her that she and her sister had a cat, and tells her the cat can't stay in her room. Britt just shrugs though because now she gets to keep him and she and San can give him baths and brush his fur together.

San doesn't look too happy however when Britt enters the room with Lord Tubbington in tow.

"What the hell is that? And that smell. What did you do Britt?" her girlfriend exclaims while she is glaring at poor Lord Tubbington.

"That's Lord Tubbington. I rescued him from the street and now he is going to live with us," she announces proudly, choosing to ignore San's expression for now.

"Britt," San's expression suddenly softens. "You can't keep a cat in your room. We are not allowed to have pets in school. If a teacher finds out, you'll have to bring him to a shelter," her girlfriend explains and Britt is trying hard not to cry.

"But what if the people there are mean to him and won't love him as much as I will?" she asks, a sole tear escaping her eye.

San sighs before she extracts Lord Tubbington from her arms and sets him down.

"Fine, I'll help you keep him a secret but only after you've bathed him and as long as he doesn't jump on my bad or sheds hair all over my clothes."

Brittany immediately jumps up and throws herself into San's arms before kissing her with as much passion as possible.

"Thank you, thank you thank you," she mumbles into San's hair. "I love you so much. And I will make it up to you," she as with a flirtatious wink before picking Lord Tubbington up again and carrying him into their bathroom.

Blaine, Kurt and Kurt's aunt arrive late on Friday night and he waits until his boyfriend and Kate are checked in in the hotel close to campus before catching a cab to the Berklee Campus.

Wes is already there when he arrives and it looks like they started their little reunion party without him.

"Here, have a beer," Wes tells him before shoving a bottle into his hands and Blaine grabs a lighter from David's weed smoking roommate's side of the room to open it. As soon as he puts down the open bottle though, he finds himself pulled into a tight hug by his two best friends.

"I guess you already started without me," he tells them once they let him up for air again and both Wes and David nod.

"Pregaming is an important ritual in college," they inform him and Blaine roles his eyes because this is nothing new.

"So where's Kurt?" David asks a few minutes later. "I thought he came with you."

Blaine takes another swig of his bottle before he sighs. "He's at a hotel with his aunt. His dad wouldn't let him come without a baby sitter."

"The hot one?" Wes immediately asks and Blaine shrugs. "Don't worry, we'll take her off your hands tomorrow at the party," David continues and Blaine rolls his eyes again, because while Kurt's aunt hooked up with his brother, he thinks that Wes and David are a little young for Kate.

"If you could make sure I actually do get to celebrate with Kurt in private for a bit, I'd very much appreciate it," he admits though.

"Trying to get lucky for your anniversary?" David asks, winking exaggeratingly and Blaine throws a pillow at him.

"Not everything is about sex," he informs them but his friends don't appear to take him seriously.

"You still haven't done it?" Wes asks, clearly surprised. "You've been dating for a year and you've had the hots for him even longer."

Maybe it's wrong to brag about your sex life or lack thereof depending on who's definition you used, but Blaine has always loved that his friends are comfortable discussing stuff like that with him.

"Well, it's not like we haven't done anything," he confides in them, "but we haven't gone all the way yet, and I don't think it will happen any time soon. But I wouldn't mind trying out some new stuff now that I know Kurt wants it as well," he admits, causing Wes and David to catcall.

"Just don't drink too much tomorrow," Wes advices after they have calmed down. "You don't want him thinking you already have problems getting it up." David continues and Blaine is sure his face turns bright red.

"I'll keep that in mind. Now tell me about college," he tells them to change the subject, because maybe talking about his and Kurt's developing sex life wasn't the best idea.

Blaine picks Kurt up in front of a near by hotel at ten the next morning for their day out in Boston. Luckily, Kate doesn't insist on playing babysitter, so they head off without her after sharing a brief kiss in front of the hotel. He doesn't worry that anyone would react negatively because couples like him and Kurt can actually get married here.

"Where to?" Kurt asks, looping his arm through his and Blaine pulls out a list with places David insisted they check out.

"I thought we could walk around the old part of town for a bit – follow the Freedom trail for a bit before getting lunch by the harbor. According to David you can't come to Boston without eating seafood here."

"Sounds great," Kurt replies. "And in the afternoon?"

"I thought I could take you shopping if you wanted to before returning you to the hotel to get ready for the party. Or whatever you want."

Kurt immediately nods frantically and Blaine assumes he had him at shopping.

"Well, lead the way good sir," Kurt jokes, and Blaine starts walking in what he hopes is the right direction.

They hop on a bus and ride it for a few stops before getting off in the theater district, but after living in New York for a while it isn't that impressive. So they walk through Boston Commons to get to the starting point of the trail for their trek through Boston.

Kurt goes a bit crazy with the picture taking where ever they go, but he assures Blaine that it's necessary to document their first vacation as a couple in as much detail as possible for future scrapbooks. He doesn't actual mind it as much as he proclaims, because a lot of pictures consist of them kissing in front of famous landmarks in the historic part of the city.

Around lunchtime they find a small restaurant close to the harbor where they share a seafood platter and Blaine discovers that he really does not like calamari. Luckily, his boyfriend saves him by stealing all of them from Blaine's plate before he actually has to admit that the dish scares him.

Kurt's dad calls right after they leave the restaurant on their way to check out the leather district, but believes their lie that Kate is the bathroom right now and can't come to the phone before telling Kurt that he has to go deal with a costumer.

After only two hours of shopping and more window shopping, Blaine drops Kurt off in front of his hotel room with a promise to meet him and his aunt outside the dorm building later so they can all walk in together. It's important for Kurt that they do because this year they did opt for matching costumes and even Kate decided to join their little group with another matching costume.

Thankfully, David and Wes both have to head out to pick up more booze when Blaine arrives, so he can change into his tights while inventing his own superhero names without getting mocked. His favorite one is definitely 'Nightbird' and maybe one day he could ask Kurt to make him his own costumes. For now the rented one will have to do though.

After making sure his costume is perfectly in place, he heads over to the shared bathrooms to finish his hair before meeting Kurt outside the dorms.

Kurt and aunt Kate meet up with Blaine in front of David's dorm building a few hours later, and he looks fantastic in his Robin costume in his opinion because it accentuates that he's been losing quite a bit of his baby fat over the summer. His face is still too round for his taste and his hips are pear shaped but Blaine thinks he is attractive so he tells himself to stop worrying.

Aunt Kate looks fantastic as well in her Catwoman costume though he thinks it's a bit too tight for someone who's over thirty already. Not that she looks it, especially with her make up on. But still. He does not need to see his aunt going after guys only a few years older them him.

Unsurprisingly, he loses her pretty fast though after greeting Blaine, looking right at home in the crowd of college kids. Kurt feels a bit intimidated however, because this time he is completely sober and he feels like everyone is staring at him and not in the 'god his costume is awesome' kind of way.

"Are you having fun?" Blaine shouts over the music a while later, still nursing his first beer while Kurt sips on his wine cooler, determined not to get drunk this time around.

Before he can answer though, a tall guy with blond hair and broad shoulders comes up to them and leans toward Blaine, a suggestive grin on his face.

"You know, if your little brother wasn't already wearing the costume, I'd offer to be the Robin to your Batman," he slurs slightly and Kurt narrows his eyes because, hello, he and Blaine are standing way too closely for it to be platonic or worse brotherly.

Blaine, unfortunately only gapes at the guy, which blond and stupid apparently takes as his cue to consider his flirting.

"I'm sure I can find someone to babysit him, while you and I get better acquainted. I haven't see you around before, so I could give you a tour of the dorm rooms," he suggests and Kurt is about to rip him a new one, when his aunt stumbles over, a young man in his early twenties staring after her.

"Hey, leave my brother and his boyfriend alone," she yells at the intruder, poking him in the chest, and Kurt doesn't know who looks more surprised – him or the douche bag.

Apparently, his aunt is determined to appear younger tonight and well, aunt doesn't really do the trick he supposes.

"Thanks, sis," he replies after a moment, after glaring at her, "but I could have handled that my self." And handle it he does – by shoving his tongue into Blaine's throat right in front of the jerk.

It shocks Blaine back to life apparently, because he grins at the asshat after Kurt releases him and informs him that Kurt definitely isn't his brother.

Kate was having a blast at Blaine's friend's Halloween party, mostly because nearly everyone thought she was just another grad student trying to let lose at a dorm party. Barely five minutes in, she decides to ditch Kurt for two hot guys in their early to mid twenties who are both staring at her like they are cats in heat – pun intended.

"Hey, I haven't seen you around before. Are you getting your masters here as well?" one of them asks, his eyes trailing up her body. Luckily, she's always been able to think quickly and so she shakes her head.

"Nope. I'm actually working towards my Ph.D. already over at Harvard, but my little brother goes here and invited me. I hope you don't mind an old lady crashing your party," she adds with a pout which leads to the guys both assuring her that she doesn't look a day older than twenty-two.

But it's Mark, a twenty-three year old grad student who really gets her going, pardon her French. They talk and laugh together for a while before he leans in close and kisses her.

"Do you wanna get out of here? I have a small apartment off campus," he asks her a while later, after making out with him in various corners of the common room they are in.

"Let me just tell my brother that I'm leaving and then I'm all yours," she replies, trailing her hand up his thigh for a moment, to make sure he doesn't leave while she goes to find her nephew.

When she spots him in the crowd he is glaring at a guy who's standing way too close to Blaine in her opinion. Deciding to be a good sister, uh aunt, she struts over and puts the little shit into his place before he can cause trouble between the boys, and Kurt does look quite murderous when she gets there.

Blaine excuses himself, once the asshole runs off, to get them another drink and Kate hands Kurt the key to their hotel room, once he is gone as well.

"I'm not coming home tonight. So if you and Blaine want the room you can have it. Just don't do anything I wouldn't do," she reminds him before she hurries over to where she left Mark.

Kate's pretty certain Burt would kill her if he knew what she just did, but she remembers being young and in love. And contrary to her own youth, Kurt and Blaine can't just fool around in a car whenever they like. She also thinks that if Kurt's going to lose his virginity – and she's pretty certain he still is one – than he deserves better than the backseat of a car.

No, giving him the room for the night is the right thing to do. After all, he's old enough to make his own decisions, even if her brother doesn't think so. All thoughts about Kurt go out of the window soon after though, when Mark does something spectacular with his tongue.

"Where did your aunt go?" Blaine asks when he returns with two bottles of water for them. Kurt just rolls his eyes.

"She ran off with some guy and gave me this," he tells his boyfriend before showing him the key. "Said she wasn't going to come home tonight," he adds, hoping he won't have to spell it out that Blaine is invited to spend the night with him.

Unfortunately, his boyfriend is a bit slow and only mumbles something like 'good for her'.

"Hey, do you maybe want to get out of here and continue our celebration in private? Like I said Kate won't be back till tomorrow," he tries again and when Blaine blushes he knows his boyfriend finally got the hint.

"Uh, yeah. Sure. Let me just tell Wes and David that we are leaving," Blaine stammers, still blushing adorably.

Kurt waits for him by the stairs, texting Mercedes in the meantime, who is at a New Directions' party hosted by Puck. Kurt has heard about it for the last two weeks, mostly because Finn was complaining about not being allowed to go. He hadn't felt bad for him though because he remembers how the last party Finn went to ended.

He is laughing when Blaine returns and when the older boy raises an eyebrow in question, he shows him the picture Mercedes sent him – one of Rachel in a green monstrosity, which is apparently supposed to be a princess' ball gown.

Blaine makes a face as well, before he takes Kurt's hand and leads him downstairs. Even though the hotel isn't far away from the campus, they decide to take a cab, because it's late and they are both wearing superhero costumes.

The silence in the cab, for once, is actually a bit uncomfortable, both of them clearly stuck in their own thoughts about what a private celebration might entail. The only thing he is sure of is that he isn't ready to go all the way any time soon, but he thinks he is ready for something more than they are already doing. Maybe properly get to second base.

But that's just him. Blaine looks like he is internally freaking out as well, but Kurt can't tell about what. Does Blaine want more than Kurt is ready for, or maybe he doesn't want to do anything new at all? He knows he should probably just talk to him about it, but talking about sexual things is still difficult for him and he usually prefers to just show Blaine what he wants instead of having to talk about it first.

Unfortunately, he's pretty certain that Blaine will want to talk first if they actually decide to further their physical relationship.

While Kurt is busy freaking out a bit, Blaine isn't far behind. It wouldn't be the first time that he and Kurt aren't actually on the same page and so he keeps wondering about Kurt's intentions.

Should he have brought a condom? Or lube? Or would they even need a condom if something more happened when they are both virgins? Why was there no pamphlet about spending your first anniversary in a hotel when you are not sleeping together yet? Maybe, he should write one, if he makes it through the night in one piece.

Or maybe he is freaking out over nothing. They have spent the night together before – more than once – and it had been okay. And Kurt was getting better about talking things through with him, even if he knows his boyfriend still doesn't like talking about sex. But how else can they know what is okay and what isn't if they don't talk about it first.

At least they are both sober, and now he is really glad he only had one beer all night. Because as he already knows – hormones and alcohol don't mix well. In this moment he really wants to ask someone for advice, but Wes and David would probably just tease him, and his brother, his brother would probably insists on giving him tips and send him condoms to their room. And that's the last thing he needs right now – for Kurt to freak out because he thinks Blaine is pressuring him. Which he would never do. He isn't even sure he is ready for certain things, even if that means having to tell Kurt no if it's something Kurt wants.

Sometimes being an inexperienced teenager in his first relationship with an equally inexperienced teenager really sucked. Or just being a teenager in general. There were all those things his body told him he was ready for, but his mind hadn't really caught up yet to some of them.

Before he can freak out even more though the short ride is over and the cab stops in front of Kurt's hotel. He quickly pays the driver, but lets Kurt tip him before he can protest. They earn some curious stares from the concierge when they hurry past, both their capes billowing behind them and for once they barely touch when they are in the elevator, standing further apart from one another than usual. All too soon the doors open on Kurt's floor and Blaine sucks in a deep breath. Showtime.

"I don't want to have sex. I mean sex sex," Kurt blurts out as soon as Blaine closes the door behind him and he can feel his boyfriend stiffen before he slips his hand into Kurt's.

"We can just go to sleep and cuddle. I don't want you to think that we have to do things just because we are alone here," Blaine assures him a moment later.

Well, Kurt doesn't want that either, because who knows when they'll get a chance like this again, when they don't have to worry about roommates coming back early.

"But I want to," he blurts out again, cursing his brain to mouth filter which he apparently left behind at the party.

Blaine looks confused and Kurt sighs internally because that means he actually has to spell it out to Blaine what he wants. Wanting to delay the inevitable, he leads Blaine over to his bed and pulls him down next to him.

"I mean, uh, that I don't want to just sleep. I want to t-t-touch you, like under the clothes and maybe you could touch me too," he finally stutters out, his cheeks probably bright red.

Blaine gapes at him for a moment, but at least he is not saying no. "But clothes stay on?" he asks after a beat to clarify what Kurt is asking for and Kurt nods before shaking his head.

"Well, I do want to take your shirt off," he admits, without blushing though because taking shirts off when they make out isn't exactly new anymore.

"Okay," Blaine replies before he continues, he cheeks turning red. "But just to make sure we are on the same page. You want to jerk me off and you want me to jerk you off?"

Kurt gasps, because how can Blaine say things like that just like that. Still, he nods, the blush back in place.

"But pants stay on?" He nods again. "At least underwear," he adds because he really doesn't want to do this when they are both in their superhero costumes.

They are both quiet when they take off their capes, but once they are off, Kurt steps closer and presses his lips against Blaine's for a moment, before moving to his boyfriend's neck, slowly pushing the top of his costume down to have more skin to kiss. Before he can push it all the way down though Blaine stops him.

"Um, I'm just going to go change real quick, okay? The kind of underwear that is required for this costume is not exactly something I want you to see me in," he admits and Kurt's cheeks flame again when he thinks about what he is wearing underneath himself.

"Good thinking. Uh, knock when you are done?" Blaine nods, but instead of going into the bathroom, he freezes.

"What's wrong?" "Um, I don't have any clothes here."

Kurt is sure his face can't get even redder when he crosses over to his suitcase and picks up a clean pair of boxer briefs and pajama paints. Blaine accepts them silently before disappearing into the bathroom.

Picking another pair up – and now he is glad he always packs too much – he quickly changes into them and a pair of yoga pants, before considering whether it made sense to put on a t-shirt when he's going to take it off again soon anyway.

Before he can make a decision though, there's a knock on the bathroom door and Kurt calls out to Blaine that it's okay to come back in. His boyfriend isn't wearing a shirt either – probably because Kurt didn't give him one – and his hair is dripping slightly, curls falling freely over his forehead. Apparently, he spent more time on his shirt debate than he thought.

Once Blaine is back, they quickly fall into an already established routine, pressing up against each other for a bit before Kurt rolls over to take a moment to collect himself. The moment he has his breathing under control again though, he turns to Blaine a determined look on his face.

"I'd really like to get to second base now," he tells Blaine before he winces, because that sounded so much better in his head. Thankfully, Blaine doesn't make fun of him, and though they only have the soft light from the entrance illuminating the room he can see Blaine's eyes darkening.

Before he knows it he is on his back with Blaine hovering above him, his right hand slowly trailing down his stomach, but not stopping at his waistband like it usually does.

And when Blaine does touch him for the first time, he retracts everything he said before. This is the best experience ever.

They sleep in the next day, after they exhausted themselves and after getting a text from Kate telling them that she'll be back around eleven to change clothes and take Kurt to lunch.

With minutes to spare they make it downstairs for breakfast and Blaine's happy to see that Kurt is happy, because of course he ended up worrying again about Kurt's reaction the next day. But luckily all Kurt said was that he couldn't wait for them to do it again.

"So are you going to tell me about your mysterious plans with David?" Kurt asks him after Kate returned and he is getting ready to leave. He does feel guilty about not telling Kurt about the college tour and so he decides to tell him once he has seen the campus.

"Later, I promise," he tells him before kissing Kurt goodbye rather passionately, earning them a catcall from Kate.

The teasing continues the moment he meets up with David who brought Wes along as well, but it's good naturedly, so he lets them have their fun for a bit, without giving too much of his night with Kurt away.

David takes them to classrooms, lecture halls and rehearsals spaces and Blaine falls in love rather quickly. After living in New York for two years, he likes the open space while still being in a city. NYADA is impressive as it is, but here everything is even bigger and better equipped.

"So are you going to apply?" David asks once the tour is over and they are back in David's dorm. "Would be great to see you more often."

Wes pouts but they both ignore him. Listening to their discussion about college during their senior year had been bad enough.

"I want to, but I really think I should talk to Kurt first. I don't intend for us to break up any time soon, so I can't just apply to a school out of state without telling him first.

"Whipped," Wes and David chorus in unison and Blaine rolls his eyes. "You'd have done the same if your girlfriends hadn't already dumped you.

"Oh trust me. Being single in college is so much better. If you want to get laid all you have to do is go to a party."

"I can get laid whenever I want too," Blaine replies with a pout, because he could if their weren't teachers, and roommates and parents trying to keep them apart.

"Not if you come here though next year," Wes points out after he stops laughing and David punches his shoulder.

"But the reunion sex will be that much better," he counters and Blaine decides to put an end to the argument.

"Guys, I'm not going to pick a college based on how easy it will be for me to have sex with Kurt, okay. I'm going to talk to him when I get back to the hotel and if he's okay with it, I'm going to apply."

Neither of his friends look too happy, and his dad would probably tell him that he should go to the best college regardless of his boyfriend, but they are partners and his decision will affect both of them. At least he wants to get Kurt's opinion.

"You have to apply," Kurt tells Blaine as soon as he finishes talking. "I always thought you would apply here anyway because it's a good school and David seems to love it."

Blaine just gapes at him for a moment. "And you would really be okay with it if I ended up in Boston."

Kurt shrugs. "Sure I would miss you a lot, but you need to do what's best for your future and staying in the city, just for me, I don't want that. It could lead to a nasty break up because at some point you probably would resent me for making you stay here. If we are meant to be, we'll make it work."

"God, I love you," Blaine replies before pulling him into his arms. Kurt eagerly wraps his arms around his boyfriend as well and they stand together like this for a few more moments before Kurt disentangles himself and sits down on his bed, his expression serious now.

"I want you to promise that you'll apply to schools you like even when they aren't close to New York. Even if they are on the west coast or god forbid Ohio. We might have a problem if you wanted to go to Europe, but other than that, we'll make it work. I still have nearly two years of school left and who knows where I will end up after graduation. We can't put out future on hold just because it might mean getting separated for a bit," he tells Blaine.

Does he want Blaine to move away from New York? Of course not. But he really doesn't want to be the one to hold him back either. Yes, long distance would suck, but there was Skype and if he got a job, bus and train tickets every other months.

"So I'm going to apply here," Blaine says and Kurt nods. "And they would be stupid not to accept you."

Up next:Blaine and Kurt return to Ohio for Thanksgiving at the Andersons. Finn asks Kurt's advice for winning Rachel back and Kate and Cooper 'reconnect'.

I know I haven't replied to reviews but I just want to say that I very much appreciate them and will try to do better again in the future.
