But it's just the price I pay.

Destiny is calling me.

Open up my eager eyes,

Cause I'm Mr. Brightside.

It took two weeks for Blaine to finally admit to his parents that he was dating Kurt and not Rachel.

He twisted his hands in nervousness, knowing that tonight would be the night. His parents were both home for once, they were having dinner at the dining room table, and the topic of Rachel was brought up.

"So Blaine," His dad said, cutting into his steak, "How are you and Rachel doing?"

Blaine dropped his fork, it hitting the floor and under his chair.

His mom looked at him with a startled look, "Honey what's wrong? Did something happen with you and Rachel?"

Blaine felt pale, almost sick. "Uh, yeah. She...she broke up with me."

His mother's hand found his on the table, "Oh sweetie, what happened?"

Blaine swallowed and blurted out, "I'm gay."

His mother's hand froze, no longer stroking his, her eyes widening in shock.

He looked at his father, fork still in his mouth. Both of his parents looked at each other, having a silent conversation with their eyes.

"I mean I haven't known for long," Blaine suddenly found himself saying, "I just found out a month or so ago because I started to like Kurt and I was confused about it until two weeks ago I couldn't take it so I-"

His ramblings were interrupted by the sounds of his parents laughing.

He looked between them, confused as to why they were laughing.

"Honey," His mom said to his father, "We owe Cooper ten bucks."

His father waved his hand at her, "I know, I know!"

Now Blaine was really confused. "Why are you laughing? I just told you-"

"Sweetie we figured you were." His mom said, a smile growing on her face, "But we foolishly made a bet with your brother that you weren't going to admit it to us before college. Guess we were wrong."

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

"So your parents bet Cooper you were going to come out in college??" Kurt asked, laughing softly.

Blaine pinched his hip. They were in Blaine's bedroom, lying on his bed talking about his coming out story.

"I'm sorry, that's just..." Kurt was now full on laughing now, turning away from Blaine and clutching his stomach, "Your parents.....knew...."

"Yeah yeah keep reminding me..." Blaine grumbled.

Kurt turned back to Blaine, no longer laughing but a smile still planted over his ridiculously attractive face, "I'm sorry sweetie. At least they didn't kick you out."

Blaine huffed in response, wrapping his arms around Kurt's waist, burring his head into Kurt's chest, "I'm glad they didn't tell me to break up with you."

"Why?" Kurt responded, wrapping his arms around Blaine's head and massaging his semi-loose curls.

"Cause I can't bear the thought of losing you."

Kurt hummed in response, the vibrations rubbing Blaine's nose, tickling it in a weird way. He turned his head so his ear was resting against Kurt's chest now. Blaine sighed; he felt at home.

They decided to take things slow, since they were kind of new to this whole being gay and not straight thing. Blaine thought that it was a good idea since neither one of them were comfortable talking about sex anyways.

Three months into their relationship (three days after having this conversation of being slow), their decision to learn more about what was going on went out the window after four beers and two shots at another one of Rachel's celebration parties. This time, they were celebrating the end of Glee club competitions, or something like that.

Blaine found himself pushed up against the wall as Kurt attacked Blaine's neck with his teeth, scraping them sloppily against his vein there and smoothing it with his tongue. Blaine sober would've told Kurt that this was too much, but Blaine drunk was way too interested in the feeling of it to say anything else.

Just as Kurt brought his face back up to Blaine's, he had a revelation.

"I love you."

Kurt blinked in response, his jaw parting slightly in shock.

"I'm sorry!" Blaine shouted immediately, "I didn't mean-that's not really slow-I-"

"Blaine."

Blaine shut his mouth right away at Kurt's mentioning his name, hoping it didn't have Kurt breaking up with him for opening his mouth and spilling out-

"I love you too." Kurt said, his mouth turning up a little at the sound of it.

Blaine felt his face split into a huge grin. He grabbed Kurt's hand and started to tug him into one of Rachel's guest bedrooms. Now that he's said it, he's got to prove it.
