Words slurred, drinks spilt and arms twirled as the party continued. Kurt lost count of how many drinks he had drunk and he now felt a little buzz around him, his ears ringing pleasantly. He took a moment to drink a pint of water in the kitchen and watch the mess that was now their living area.

Faye was dancing with utter abandon, her face wide with an impossibly happy grin, her eyes closed in blissed out peace. Bradley watched her as she danced, his eyes roving over her body as she twirled and spun around, her arms up high in the air. She bumped into Nicola and started madly giggling.

"Ooh who got the lovely Faye drunk?" Nicola crooned loudly, a mad giggle in her voice. Bradley looked slightly worried, as if he might get told off by imaginary people. Kurt came towards him.

"Don't worry," he said, a slight slur to his words, which made Bradley look at him carefully. "Faye will be fine, she's just a bit gleeful!'" Kurt broke out into peels of laughter at his comment and Bradley had no idea what he had found so funny. He gave a worried smile and went closer to Faye to look after her.

"Bradley!" Faye crooned as soon as she saw him, "I've been waiting for you forever, where have you been?"

"Just in the kitchen," he said, pointing towards Kurt who remained there and she started madly giggling too.

"No I meant in my life," she said loudly, "I've been waiting for my knight in shining armour for so long, where have you been?"

Kurt started laughing at Bradley's worried face. He tugged her towards the kitchen in the hope that she might drink some water to sober up. She wasn't having it.

"No," she whined, pulling him back towards the dance area, "Dance with me."

Watching Bradley dance suddenly reminded Kurt of Finn though he was nowhere near as tall; Faye was so small that he towered over her. Bradley looked a little worried and didn't really know what to do with his arms so he wrapped them around Faye to keep them dancing together.

"What's up beautiful?" Blaine crooned near Kurt's ear, sneaking up behind Kurt who had been watching Faye and Bradley on the dance floor.

"Blaine!" he exclaimed, "You made me jump!"

"Sorry," he said, kissing the exposed skin on Kurt's neck, "You just looked so irresistible and I couldn't resist."

Blaine sounded relatively sober, his words coming out the way they should but he leaned on the kitchen counter and got a far away dazed look on his face.

"I think I want to live here forever," Blaine said looking around the room, "Now that Sebastian's gone, it seems a much nicer place."

Kurt nodded, afraid how his words would come out. Blaine looked at him carefully and his eyes suddenly watered.

"You know, the main reason I want to stay here forever is you," Blaine said wistfully. He leaned forward on the counter so he was inches from Kurt's face.

"I love you Kurt," he said quietly and Kurt's eyes widened at the admission.

"You do?"

Blaine nodded.

"Yeah, is that ok?"

"Yeah," Kurt whispered, not sure how he felt but seeing the hurt evident on Blaine's face made him lurch forward. Blaine caught him before he hit his face on the kitchen counter.

"Woah!" Blaine said, "Be careful. Are you ok?"

"Blaine," he moaned, clutching his head, "I can't bear the puppy dog eyes," he closed his eyes and Blaine couldn't help but give him a sad smile.

"It's ok," Blaine said, "You're drunk, I think it's probably best if we sit down."

He led Kurt to the couch area just as the television screened blinked to life. Kurt turned to Blaine as if forgetting it was a television show.

'They wouldn't give a task now, would they?" Nicola asked as she spun around and plopped onto the sofa.

"I don't think so," Blaine said sounding and looking completely normal apart from the darkened eyes as he stared at Kurt's exposed collarbone.

"Horny are we Blainers?" Nicola said laughing and Blaine blushed that he had been caught. "You're the only one to get so much action in the house yet you still want more. You're insatiable."

Faye laughed.

"That's a long word," she said and promptly fell on Bradley who lay on the sofa.

"Housemates," the voice suddenly said, interrupting their conversation, "We have a task for you. The winner of the task will get a telephone call home."

"Your task is to be honest to each other following prompts given to you on cards. The most honest housemate will receive the telephone call home."

"Ooh you're clever big brother," Nicola said winking at the screen, "Getting us to be honest when drunk. Genius!"

Kurt suddenly looked like he might be sick but then the voice spoke again.

"Heidi please come to the diary room to collect the envelopes."

She did as instructed and they were told to read their cards only when instructed.

"Nicola will you please open the first envelope in your hand and read your prompt, directed at Anisa."

Nicola took a deep breath and read the beginning of the prompt. They had been asked to be as honest and direct as possible, including rudeness. Anisa waited patiently.

"Anisa," Nicola began, "The public won't save you because....." She thought it over for a few moments then finished with her own opinion, her eyes showing their familiar bitchy glint. Kurt gulped.

"You go around in your skimpy little outfits and I'm only a red-bloodied woman, I can't help it. I know you don't want me looking at your tight ass but you put it out there, in your little bikinis by the pool and I can't help but stare. And you're rude and no one likes you. You hate Kurt, which is reason enough for me to hate you even though you have such a great ass and I think I've thought of all my reasons." She let out a breath as if she felt relieved to have explained everything so well. Kurt looked at Anisa worriedly.

Anisa nodded her head, accepting what she had been told. She said nothing.

Blaine was given the next envelope. It contained Kurt's picture.

"Oh no, no, no," he said shaking his head over and over again, causing his eyes to madly catch up, "I can't say anything negative about Kurt."

"Oh come on, man up," Nicola said, "I did it, I didn't really mean those things... well I did but not in a bad way, Anisa knows that. It's all part of the game."

"I don't mind," Kurt said to reassure Blaine, "You can be honest."

Blaine looked at Kurt and realised he could do this while being polite if only he was clever.

"If I could change one thing about your personality," he began and Kurt looked a little worried. This one was so open, Blaine could say anything. "I'd like you to be nicer," he said smiling at Kurt who instantly got the joke. "I'd like you to be kinder and more caring, make me coffee and breakfast in the morning and look irresistible and gorgeous whenever you can." Faye and Heidi started giggling. "I'd like it if you could walk around in your tightest red jeans all the time and kiss me at least a hundred times a day." Kurt smirked.
"Housemates," the voice suddenly said, "This task is not about the housemate that can be the most sarcastic, we have asked you to be brutally honest about what you would change."

Everyone started laughing that Blaine had gotten told off but after the laughter died down, Blaine still had to tell Kurt one thing he would change about him. He hadn't got a clue.

"Just tell me Blaine," Kurt said, "I won't mind. What would you like to change about me?"

Blaine thought it through carefully and decided there really was only one thing he would change.

"I think I would change your trust issues," Blaine said slowly, watching Kurt's face for any signs of hurt. His face remained neutral. "I think you should trust me more and I think the issue of Sebastian really highlighted this." In Blaine's mind he was just being truthful and he couldn't read the signs. Everyone else had become deadly silent, Blaine still carried on.

"I think if you had trusted me, the whole thing wouldn't have meant so much and we wouldn't have temporarily broken up." He finished his sentence, pleased with himself that he had managed words with several syllables and had not stammered once. There was now the longest pause.

Kurt nodded once then picked up his envelope once instructed.

"Nicola," he said and instantly the mood changed. Everyone started laughing, Nicola the loudest.

"Oh bring it bitch," she said in her sassiest voice and the tension in the room seemed to dissipate.

"The most two-faced thing I've seen you do in the house is.... Well that's easy," he said, "When you gave me such grief at the beginning about being gay when you yourself are gay." Nicola nodded her head in complete agreement. She shook Kurt's hand.

"I completely accept that my lovely and I'm sorry," she said, and Kurt smiled that his part of the task had gone so well. Blaine missed the sad look on Kurt's face as El opened her envelope.

"Heidi, the reason I wouldn't copy your style is....." El began as Nicola and Anisa made ooh noises. "Because I think you dress like a stuffed bunny or a little five year old girl when you are now nearly an adult." Heidi started to laugh.

"But I like it," Heidi whined, taking the comment with good face. Faye said that she liked her outfits too and reassured her. Anisa was told to open the next envelope.

"The fakest thing about Bradley is his fake tan and his blonde highlights," she said quickly, clearly wanting to get it out of the way. Bradley nodded in acceptance and again Faye reassured him that she found it sexy and he blushed slightly.

Heidi was told to open her envelope for El.

"The thing I most dislike about you is your smoking," she said calmly and El nodded in understanding, "But that's only because I worry about your health and want you to be ok," she said hurriedly and Nicola laughed.

"You can't even be horrible when you're honest," she said and Heidi smiled. That was the nicest thing anyone had ever said about her and she could live with that praise.

Bradley picked up his envelope for Faye and everyone waited silently for this one, secretly hoping it might result in an argument between the sickeningly sweet couple.

"I think the most annoying thing about you is...." He began and paused, clearly thinking how best to phrase what he was about to say. "When you rub up against me in the night," he said extremely quickly, "And I don't think you know what you do to me but it needs to stop otherwise we're going to have a big problem on national television." Everyone laughed but Faye went shockingly red, it never occurring to her that she might be considered sexy by someone else, even Bradley.

"I'm sorry honey," she said but Bradley came up closer to snuggle her in his arms and told her to shhh.

"It's only because you're so attractive and sweet and....."

"Even the honesty game was turned cute by you two," Nicola said sneeringly but her twinkling eyes said other things and Kurt stroked her hand that rested near his own.

The last envelope was for Blaine, read by Faye. Kurt couldn't help but think it was a nicer option than the one he had received.

"People will boo you when you leave the house because they saw you...." Faye went white when she read this out loud and Kurt suddenly thought about what Blaine had said to him, about trust issues and relationship worries. Maybe he was right after all but Faye told the truth like she had been instructed.

"I think they will boo you for what you did to Kurt," she said simply, "I think they will think that you were a douche for flirting with Sebastian purely because you had Kurt all along. They won't get the insecurity and the trust issues they will just think that you were silly."

Blaine took it in. There was silence. When his head rose again Kurt was a little shocked to see tears in his eyes.

"Blaine?"

"Do you think that Kurt?" he whispered so only he could hear, "Do you really think I was deliberately ruining our relationship?"

Kurt had thought it at one point but now he looked at Blaine's eyes, swimming in tears and he shook his head.

"I don't think you wanted to have a relationship with Sebastian and I don't think you deliberately wanted to ruin our time here but I do think you were insecure Blaine and that you liked the attention."

Blaine let one tear fall and kept his head down.

"But I also think that it had nothing to do with my trusting you," Kurt said clearly and not letting Blaine affect him. "I think it seems silly to be going on and on about a kiss when we're worth so much more."

Blaine looked up, checking Kurt's meaning and he smiled through the pools in his eyes.

"I love you too Blaine," Kurt whispered and he kissed Blaine chastely on the lips tasting the salty tears that rested there. The voice returned.

"Housemates we have decided that the most honest housemate was El and she can now come to the diary room to receive her telephone call home."

There were a few collective moans that they hadn't been chosen but the housemates soon went back to the garden area or the bedroom, leaving Blaine and Kurt alone in the living area.

"Do you really love me?" Blaine whispered, coming in closer to brush his lips against Kurt's ear.

Kurt nodded happily.

"I know we've had a terrible time in here, had things metaphorically thrown at us but I know when we get out that things will be different. We'll be able to talk properly, really find out about each other and do things like date." He laughed at the idea and Blaine sighed at the image in his mind.

"That'll be awesome," he said happily, "I can't wait to take you out on a date."

"So let's save all the relationship drama and truth for when we're outside," Kurt said, stroking along Blaine's arm as he sleepily came closer to place his head on Kurt's shoulder.

They stayed like that for several undisturbed minutes until there was an excited shout from the garden area.

"It's Anisa!" Heidi exclaimed, coming in from the garden to call Kurt and Blaine for help, "She's climbing the fence, she's trying to escape."

Both Kurt and Blaine ran out just in time to see Anisa finally reach the top of the fence successfully. They heard her land safely then could hear running.

"I'm free!' she shouted, "Finally free!"
