Can I Have A Kiss

Kurt groaned as he rolled over on to his stomach. The stupid alarm was going off again, yelling at him to get up, which was the last thing he wanted to do. He had been enjoying his dream. Kurt turned his head to the side and watched as Blaine climbed out of his bed and came over to Kurt's, hitting the alarm a little more forcefully than he really needed too. He looked so tired still. Kurt was unable to stop the smile that spread across his face. Blaine sat down on the edge bed rubbing his eyes. Kurt reached out for his hand and laced their fingers together. "Did you sleep well?"

Blaine yawned and then nodded his head. "Yes, but I could go back to bed with no problem..."

Kurt yawned and rubbed his eyes, "Yeah same here..." Kurt wanted to pull Blaine down into the bed and just cuddle with him but he didn't think it would go over good. "I guess we better get ready huh?"

Blaine chuckled and let out another yawn. He slid his hand out of Kurt's and then got to his feet, stumbling over to his wardrobe and grabbing his uniform, he heard Kurt giggle from behind him. "Are you laughing at me?" Blaine crinkled his nose up at him.

Kurt chuckled again. "You are so cute when you are tired..."

Blaine felt his cheeks flush, "You think I'm cute?"

Kurt nodded. Cute, sexy, hot, gorgeous..."Very much so..."

Blaine smiled. Cute, sexy, hot, gorgeous..."You are too..." Blaine bit his bottom lip and then walked into the bathroom to get ready for the morning. He came out of the bathroom about ten minutes later. Kurt was sitting on his bed putting his shoes on. His hair was still standing up all over the place. "Your turn..."

Kurt stood up and smiled at Blaine, he had his hair all gelled into place. He looked good with his hair gelled but Kurt missed his curls. Kurt rushed through his moisturizing routine. He styled his hair and then brushed his teeth and then opened the door. Blaine was standing there holding Kurt's school bag in his hand. "Are you ready?"

Blaine nodded and held out Kurt's bag too him. When Kurt took his bag, Blaine slipped his own over his shoulder and then stuffed his key into the side pocket along with his cell phone.

Kurt watched Blaine take a few steps towards him and he pulled Blaine into a tight hug. He couldn't help but breathe in the scent of Blaine. He could feel Blaine's heart beating fast against his chest and his own heart picked up its pace almost matching Blaine's. Kurt wasn't in any hurry to let Blaine go, if it was up to him he would stand all day holding Blaine like this. Unfortunately that wasn't going to happen.

Blaine closed his eyes and rested his head against Kurt's shoulder. He felt safe in his arms. He didn't think that would be possible, but with Kurt he felt it. He was just about to say something to Kurt about how he felt but a knock on the door forced them apart.

Kurt pulled away with a sigh he didn't want to let the hug go yet. He noticed the slight blush on Blaine's cheeks when he pulled away. Kurt smiled at Blaine and then they both walked over to the door. He pulled the door open, the site on the other side of the door made him want to slam it back shut. It was Alex, the last person he wanted to see first thing in the morning. He glanced over at Blaine he had a shocked look on his face and was fiddling with the leather strap of his bag. "What do you want?" Kurt growled. He was still not in a mood to deal with him after what he tried yesterday.

"Morning to you too, Sunshine..." Alex smirked, "I wanted to walk you to class...come on." Alex stepped back from the door motioning for Kurt to follow him.

Kurt quirked his eyebrow, he couldn't believe that he actually thought Kurt would go anywhere with him after what he tried. Is he really that stupid? "And why the hell would I want you to walk me to class?"

Alex was smirking at him still but his eyes locked onto Blaine, "You know, I thought you might want to pick up where we left off yesterday..."

Kurt took a deep breath, he couldn't stand the cockiness that Alex was giving, it was so stupid and it annoyed the hell out of him. "No...and I walk with Blaine..." He took Blaine's hand in his and stared at Alex.

Alex locked eyes with Kurt he didn't know why Kurt wanted to waste his time on someone like Blaine. He was annoyed. "Well, it's nice that you want to be his babysitter... but wouldn't you rather hang out with the big kids?"

Kurt felt Blaine try to pull his hand away, but he tightened his grip. He turned his attention back to Alex; he was just about to say something when Blaine tugged on his arm.

"Kurt we're going to be late..." Blaine whispered. He didn't feel comfortable around Alex at all.

Kurt sighed and readjusted his bag on his shoulder and nodded at Blaine. He pushed out past Alex and closed the door behind them making sure it was locked. Kurt knew that Alex was following them, he could hear his heavy footsteps. 

Kurt kept Blaine's hand in his as they walked down the stairs, he excepted Blaine to pull away when they reached the crowded corridor that was overflowing with Dalton students rushing around to their first classes, but he didn't. It wasn't until Alex put his arms around both their shoulders from behind that Blaine shot away from Kurt like he had just been burned.

"Blaine, are you okay?" Kurt asked Blaine softly running over the short distance to where Blaine was standing staring at the floor. Kurt knew Alex had followed him and he turned and hit him hard in the shoulder with his hand. "You're an ass..." Kurt turned back to Blaine and took his hand. "Come on let's get you to your first class..."

Blaine nodded not looking up at him. He grasped the strap of his shoulder bag tighter. He finally looked up at Kurt. "You don't have to walk me to my first class..."

"But I want too..." Kurt squeezed his hand and Blaine nodded at him.

Kurt gave Blaine a hug when they reached the door to his first class and then watched Blaine walked to the back of the room. He sighed and then turned around, to find Alex still there. "You know I don't appreciate you following me all the time..."

Alex shrugged and fell into step beside Kurt. "Have you figured anything out about him yet?"

Kurt remembered what Blaine had said, that Alex was friends with Jeremiah. "You didn't tell me you were friends with Jeremiah."

Alex shrugged again. "Why's that important?"

"What has Jeremiah said about Blaine?" Kurt wasn't sure if he really wanted to hear what Alex would say.

"He used to talk about Blaine a lot, like if we were going to go do something he would say ‘I want to invite Blaine, oh Blaine would like doing that...' then one weekend he took Blaine home with him and when he came back it was like Blaine didn't exist..." Alex was watching Kurt as they walked. "I just figured he got what he wanted from Blaine so he didn't want him anymore..." Kurt shot him a look that was scary and he shrugged.

"You never asked what happened." Alex shook his head at his question. Kurt heaved a sigh. "Did Blaine come back with him?"

"No, he said he dropped him off at his house and that's all he said about it." Alex didn't know why he cared so much. "Why do you care so much about him anyway?"

"Because I like him okay..." Kurt didn't know why he was bothering to tell Alex about liking Blaine.

"And Blaine hasn't told you anything?" Alex didn't know why Blaine wouldn't talk about Jeremiah.

"No..." Kurt sighed again. He knew that Blaine would tell him when he was ready too; he just wished it was soon so he could help him move past all of it. Kurt was surprised that Alex was quiet he honestly didn't think he'd ever shut up. "What?"   

"Nothing...I'll see you later." Alex rushed off down the hall without another word to Kurt.

Kurt didn't know why the sudden change in Alex he had lost all the cockiness completely. He shook his head and walked into his first class, Honors Chemistry. Kurt took his seat beside Nicholas Hudson, a fellow Warbler, who had black hair and bright blue eyes. He smiled at Kurt. Kurt took out his textbook and opened it to Scientific Notations/Measurement/Dimensional Analysis, which was the chapter they were currently covering. Kurt was really glad it was Friday, just had to get through today's classes and then he could relax.

He grabbed out his notebook and started taking notes. He noticed Nicholas kept looking over at him every once in awhile. He knew he wanted to say something to him, but he didn't think he was going too. Kurt flipped his notebook to an empty page and scribbled down, What, I know you want to say or ask something... Kurt tapped the notebook with his pen and Nicholas looked over at it and then started writing something in his own notebook back to Kurt.

Are you and Blaine going out?

Kurt sighed he should have guessed it was something like that. No we are just friends...Kurt really wished they were more than that but wasn't going to say that. He watched Nicholas scribble down something then he tilted the notebook so Kurt could see it.

Good. He doesn't want a boyfriend...

Kurt scowled about this. Why did all the guys have to keep telling him that, it wasn't like he was going to force Blaine into something he didn't want, he wasn't like that. We are just friends! Nicholas didn't write anything else he just started taking notes again. Kurt started taking notes again too.

When the bell rang Kurt's felt himself smiling he had next class and the rest of the morning with Blaine and being around him made him feel happier. He packed up his things and rushed out of the classroom and into the busy hall. When he got to his classroom Blaine was already sitting in the back of the room at their table. He had his bag on the table in front of him and his head rested on it, he looked so tired still. "Hey you..." Kurt pulled his chair out and sat down.

Blaine picked his head up and looked at him. "Hi, how was Chem?" Blaine got out his book and notebook and hung his bag on the back of his chair.

"Boring..." Kurt laughed when Blaine made a face at him that clearly said ‘duh.' "Nicholas had a few things to say to me..."

Blaine raised his eyebrow. "Nicholas Hudson?" Kurt nodded at him. "What did he have to say?"

"He asked if you and I were going out and when I said we were just friends, he said, good he doesn't want a boyfriend..." Kurt sighed.

"I do want a boyfriend..." Blaine bit his lip at the look Kurt gave him. "I just don't know if I'm ready for one..."

Kurt felt his heartbeat speed up at Blaine's words. He wants a boyfriend, he's just scared... He smiled at Blaine. "No pressure..." Kurt took his hand in his and laced their fingers together. Blaine nodded at him and smiled. The class seemed to drag by but Kurt didn't mind because he got to sit next to Blaine the whole time. He only wished that it would have passed faster so he could get some food he was hungry.

When the bell rang he and Blaine headed to the cafeteria for breakfast. Kurt watched Blaine grab his usual blueberry bagel and cream cheese and coffee, but today he grabbed some bacon too. Kurt grabbed a bowl of fruit salad, a strawberry yogurt and a cup of coffee. They head to their table and sat down and were soon joined by Nick and Jeff. Thad showed up soon after. They all sat eating and carried on conversations about random things that had happened that week.

Kurt really didn't want breakfast to end because that meant he had to go to gym and it was his least favorite class of all. Coach Seers, he was coach of the lacrosse team, seemed to have it in for Kurt too, they have been playing basketball all week and Kurt had been placed on the ‘skins' team all week which meant he was on the side that played shirtless. Kurt knew there was nothing wrong with his body but he had always been uncomfortable running around with his shirt off for long periods of time. Blaine had always been placed on the ‘shirts' team, Kurt didn't like always having to play against him but he didn't want to complain to the teacher.

Blaine and Kurt had just finished their game, Blaine's team had won, and they sat down beside each other on the bleachers. Kurt slid his shirt on and Blaine was watching him as he patted his face with a towel. "Are you okay?" Kurt asked, Blaine hadn't said anything since they sat down.

"Yep, I'm okay..." Blaine smiled at him.

"Like the view Anderson?" Some boy that Kurt didn't know said as he sat down beside Blaine, he had his shirt still off, Kurt had been on his team but he didn't know his name.   

"You'd look better with a bag over your head...Tom..." Blaine mumbled sliding closer to Kurt.

Tom pulled his eyebrows together and had a look that Kurt guessed was ‘oh really' on his face. Kurt really hoped that this guy wasn't going to cause any problems. Luckily Tom got up and ran over to a few of his friends without a second look at Blaine or him. "Does he bother you a lot?" Kurt hadn't noticed him talking to Blaine before this but he was curious.

"Not too much..." Blaine didn't think that telling Kurt that Tom was friends with Jeremiah too was a good idea. Kurt had seemed upset when he had told him about Alex being friends with Jeremiah. Blaine draped the towel around his neck and watched the basketball game that was currently being played.

Kurt wasn't sure if Blaine was telling him the truth about this Tom guy or not. Kurt grabbed his towel he really wanted a shower now. He watched the guys run around playing the game of basketball. He really hated playing basketball he didn't think he was that good at it. "I'm glad we don't have to play basketball after today..."

Blaine let out a laugh, he knew Kurt didn't think he was any good at it but Blaine thought he was pretty good. Throughout the game they played he had to keep reminding himself not to watch Kurt and just play the game. "I'm ready to play something else too." About ten minutes later the coach blew his whistle and told them to hit the showers.

When him and Blaine were both showered and changed they headed out of the locker room, Kurt wanted to walk Blaine to his Chemistry class. Kurt had yet to see Blaine without his shirt on he always showered and changed in the stalls away from anyone that could see him. Kurt didn't blame him, but couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Kurt hugged Blaine before he walked into the classroom and then headed off to his English class...

Kurt froze in his steps when he heard someone calling his name. Trent was jogging down the hall towards him. When he came to a stop beside Kurt he looked a little flushed. "What's up Trent?"

Trent blushed and looked away he wasn't sure if he could actually say what he wanted to. He turned to look at Kurt again. "Hi..."

Kurt chuckled. "Hi Trent, did you want something?"

Trent nodded. "I was wondering if you wanted...to umm...maybe go for coffee or something with me tomorrow."

Kurt was shocked. "Like as in a..."

"Date...yes..." Trent said with a nod, "What do you think?"

"I...Trent...I just...I really like you okay, but only as a friend...I'm sorry." Kurt bit his lip when he noticed Blaine standing outside the cafeteria door waiting for him. He was leaning against the wall looking completely adorable.

"Oh my...you like Blaine don't you?" Trent asked he had a sad look on his face.

Kurt sighed and ran a hand through his hair, "Yes, I like him..."

"Get in line Kurt, there are a lot of guys that like him, but he doesn't want anyone..." Trent looked upset with Kurt now.

 Kurt frowned. "Actually he said he does want a boyfriend he just doesn't know if he is ready for one..." Kurt was really frustrated with people telling him what Blaine wanted. "I don't think it's up to the rest of you to decide things for Blaine..." Kurt was trying to hold his temper he didn't want to get mad at Trent, he knew Trent liked Blaine and it probably upset him to hear that Kurt liked him too. "Sorry..." Kurt walked away from Trent. When he reached Blaine he felt his annoyance slip away.

"Hi..." Blaine smiled at Kurt. "Guess what?"

Kurt liked the smile that was on Blaine's face, his eyes seemed to be smiling too. "What's up smiley?"

"We don't have any Chemistry homework this weekend..." Blaine grinned a little bigger. He had spent all last weekend doing homework for Chemistry and English and was really happy that he could relax a little this weekend.

"That's good I just have to do a little studying for the quiz on Tuesday." Kurt thought it was cute that Blaine was so happy about not having homework. "Hungry?"

Blaine nodded he had his hand on his stomach. "That's what my stomach is telling me anyways." Blaine laughed when Kurt grabbed his hand and pulled him in through the door to get in line.

"Do you want to eat outside today?" Kurt asked after they had grabbed their sandwiches. He had checked the temperature on his phone before he suggested it he didn't want them to get to cold. "It's beautiful outside today." The sky was pretty much cloudless and the sun was shining.

Blaine nodded and headed towards the back door that led outside onto the grounds. He took Kurt to one of his favorite spots to sit and read, it was on a hill and there was a huge Oak tree perched at the top that looked down on the rest of the grounds. When he got to the top he sat down under the tree on his knees and sat his food down in front of him. Kurt sat down with his back against the tree. "I love this spot." Blaine told Kurt as he opened his sandwich and bag of chips.

Kurt sat looking around at the surroundings, it was beautiful. He could see why Blaine liked it here; it was away from everyone that would bother him. He was happy that Blaine showed him this place. "It's beautiful up here." Kurt opened his own sandwich and then took a bite.

"It's peaceful too." Blaine slid over so his back was against the tree too. "So what were you and Trent talking about?"

"He asked me out..." Kurt watched Blaine's face, and it didn't fail in letting him know what Blaine thought about that. He looked upset. "I said no..." Kurt saw shock spread across Blaine's face at his words. "Blaine I said no because I want to be with you...wait before you say anything..." Kurt continued on when he realized Blaine was going to say something. "...all I want is a kiss, if you don't think you can handle a relationship with me after one kiss then I will just leave it as a friendship. It will not change anything between us if you don't want to be my boyfriend. So can I have a kiss?"
