Chapter 17

Kurt was already dressed in a suit that had taken him days to decide on, as he gave the girls advice on the correct way to style given the dresses they were wearing. None of them were wearing a design by Kurt but he had, of course, pre approved their outfits. His phone rang from his room and he almost had to run to get to it in time. His smile widened as he saw the ID.

“Hi, B.” He answered, sitting carefully on his bed, careful not to get any wrinkles in his clothes.

“Hey, babe. Are you guys ready?” Blaine’s sweet voice drifted from his phone.

“Almost. When are you picking us up?”

“That’s why I called you. I’m going to be late to the party, so I’m sending Allyson to get you to it in a bit and I’ll see you there.”

“Oh, okay.” Kurt said, a bit disappointed. “Is everything okay?”

“Yes, yes. Great actually, don’t worry. I’m at a meeting that’s running late. I’ll explain at the party.” Blaine sounded cheerful.

Kurt relaxed. “Well, I’ll see you there then. When I greet you just pretend I’m doing so with a kiss.”

“Mm, in that case, know I’m responding eagerly.” Blaine replied playfully.

“I will.” He said smiling. “Go back to your meeting, I’ll see you in a bit.”

“Bye, Kurt. See you.”

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Allyson got there just half an hour later. Everyone was ready by then. She was really friendly with the girls but, even though she was polite to him, Kurt still thought that she was cold with him. Kurt wasn’t sure if she was just being wary for Blaine or there was something else to it.

When they made it to the party, the three stuck mostly together, feeling a little out of place without Blaine there.

Kurt realised Blaine had arrived before actually getting to see him, as Allyson passed next to him in a rush. She was back just a couple of minutes later with Blaine and another guy in tow. It took Kurt a few seconds to remember where he had seen him before. Finally he remembered a picture of a group of boys in blazers Blaine had in his room.

“Who’s the hottie?” Asked Jenny in his ear.

“I’m pretty sure that’s Wes. He’s one of Blaine’s best friends from high school and he’s now on his publicity team. He’s in LA most of the time, though.” Kurt answered, trying to recall what Blaine had said about Wes to figure out what he could be doing in New York.

Blaine had spotted Kurt out of the corner of his eye and smiled sweetly at him. He stayed with Allyson and Wes, greeting people here and there for a while; meanwhile, Kurt kept a subtle eye on him as Jenny bombarded him with questions about Wes he didn’t know the answer to.

Blaine was eventually released to wander around on his own and he went straight to Kurt and the girls. He hugged Rachel and Jenny, kissing their cheeks and, even though Kurt didn’t get a kiss, Blaine embraced him a little bit tighter and for a little bit longer. Kurt took, as always, a few seconds to take in Blaine’s impeccable appearance.

“Hey, what have you been up to?” Rachel asked Blaine, interrupting both boys to stop the intense ogling match they had started.

“Well, you’re looking at Zooey Deschanel’s official new little brother.” Said Blaine locking eyes with Kurt and smiling proudly.

“Oh my god, that’s amazing!” Kurt said in a voice a little more high pitched than normal and actually gripping the counter of the bar behind him to suppress his physical reaction to throw himself into Blaine’s arms. He knew only half of the pilots introduced were actually picked up, but it was a little step in the direction of Blaine staying in the East coast. He grinned and kept smiling sweetly at Blaine, an intense gaze on him.

“That’s so cool. Congratulations! Who is playing the other sister?” Rachel asked, one more time making the boys tore their attention from the other.

“Mm, I’m not sure who that is, I kind of turned them off after they confirmed Zooey.”

“Do we have a little crush?” Kurt teased, still smiling.

“Maybe you haven’t heard as it’s not public but...” Blaine leaned closer and whispered, “I’m actually taken.”

“That must be a lucky bastard.” Kurt said breathlessly.

“I’m sorry to break the bubble of fluff but is someone going to fill me in?” Jenny asked in playful exasperation.

The three others laughed until Rachel took pity of her and got closer to explain. “It’s this pilot Blaine was in talks for, the show is about a couple of teens moving with their older sister in New York, so it’s going to film here.”

After the four talked for a few more minutes, Jenny announced she and Rachel were going to use the ladies room. Rachel looked at her puzzled for a second before realising her intentions and leaving with her.

“Hi” Said Blaine moving a bit closer as the girls left.

“Hey” Was all Kurt could say in response.

“You look stunning. Those pants... are you sure those things are even legal?” Blaine said low and close to his ear. Now that they were alone, Kurt was making an effort to fight the urges of his body at the way Blaine was speaking.

“Don’t tease, you’re just making this harder.” Kurt said trying to stop things from escalating.

Blaine raised an eyebrow, an amused look on his face. “Your choice of words is betraying you, babe.” He said, failing to suppress a laugh and ending up giggling.

Kurt blushed but ended up laughing, too.

He hadn’t realised when it began again, but they were sharing and intense look. One of Blaine’s hands went upwards and forward, but he stopped its movements before touching Kurt. It went, instead, to his neck. He looked lost in thoughts.

“Give me fifteen minutes and keep an eye on your phone, can you do that?” Blaine asked and Kurt saw a different intensity in Blaine’s eyes.

“Ok... where are you going?” He asked confused.

“Just take a few minutes and walk around.” Was all Blaine said before turning and walking away.

He did so, even though he didn’t know what Blaine was going about. By the time he was starting to get anxious, his phone buzzed.

From: Blaine

To the left of the main entrance there’s a second kitchen, next to it there’s a door to a service bathroom. Meet me there in 5?

Really? That was Blaine’s plan? To sneak out to an unused bathroom? He wasn’t sure how, or even why, but his legs were already taking him to the main entrance as he pondered.

He found himself in front of the door to the bathroom, where he decided to just go with it. As soon as he put a hand on the doorknob to open the door, it opened from inside and he was shoved into the bathroom. Blaine had him pressed against the door, lips mere millimetres from his in no time.

“Hello, beautiful. I missed you” Blaine breathed against his lips, hands on Kurt’s hips.

“This is a bad idea” Kurt said but his argument lost strength as his gaze was fixed on Blaine’s lips. So close.

“I’ll take the blame” Blaine finished, finally leaning forward and clasping their lips together. He kissed him with passion, sucking on Kurt’s bottom lip, making shivers run through Kurt’s whole body. Kurt let his arms close around Blaine’s shoulders, one of his hands almost going to his hair. He would never convince anyone he wasn’t making out with someone if I run a hand through his gelled hair, Kurt had the presence of mind to realise. Blaine wasn’t being that conscious, though. His hands were everywhere.

Kurt pulled away and put a hand on Blaine’s chest to stop him, but he just took the opportunity to start mouthing at Kurt’s neck.

“I’m not having sex in a public bathroom, Blaine.” Kurt said, he saw Blaine’s mischievous look and added, “Of any kind.”

Blaine kept looking at him for a minute, not moving. Then his expression turned playful, almost a smile on his lips. “Okay” was all he said and in one single movement he separated his body completely from Kurt’s and went to stand against the sink. Kurt felt suddenly very cold. He just stayed there, looking at Kurt mischievously.

“Okay,” Kurt rolled his eyes, “what are you doing now?” He asked, looking at his goofy boyfriend in disbelief.

“I’m not doing anything, Kurt.” Blaine answered, looking at Kurt seductively through his eyelashes.

“Gosh, you’re really trying to stand there and look pretty until I give in, aren’t you?”

“No.” Blaine said, but he was fighting a smile. He let the game go. “Come on, come here.” He extended his hands to Kurt, looking like an adorable, still sexy, puppy. How on earth did he manage that?

Kurt was about to retort but he took another look at Blaine and thought of going back to a party where they couldn’t even stay close enough to each other and he just thought fuck it and moved closer to Blaine.

Blaine instantly wrapped him in his arms, placing his hands low on Kurt’s waist. Blaine went to kiss him but Kurt decided it was his time to play, moving his head a little to kiss Blaine’s jaw, sucking and kissing as he made it down to his neck. One hand on Blaine’s hip, holding him in place, the other on the back of his head.

That’s when it happened. In the duration of just an instant Kurt heard a door opening and someone sucked in a breath, in shock. Blaine’s head snapped up quickly in the direction of the door and he froze completely in Kurt’s arms.

“Fuck” Blaine cursed under his breath and, before Kurt could react, his boyfriend was running through the door and in the direction of the person that had just walked in on them.
