Chapter 14

A few weeks later, Kurt came home from a long day at work and went straight to his boyfriends apartment. Blaine greeted him at the door with a chaste kiss. Blaine had already eaten, so they moved to the couch so that they could watch a movie while Kurt ate his dinner.

Blaines movie choice was a hard to follow fantasy story, and Kurt found himself concentrating more on his food than the plot. When he returned from taking his empty plate to the kitchen, Blaine pulled him close so that they could cuddle while watching the movie.

Kurt supposed that this was quite typical boyfriend behavior, but he could help but notice that this was the most direct contact that they had been in for several weeks. His body was thrumming with tension from their close contact, and he hesitantly put an arm around Blaines shoulders, hoping he would not stiffen or reject his touch.

All Blaine did was let out a content sounding sigh and burrowed closer into Kurts embrace.

It wasnt that Blaine had been rejecting Kurts movements per se, but Kurt had taken the hint when Blaine had put more distance between them than usual since they had started dating. Now Kurt was wondering whether he might have misread the situation.

He had tried his hardest not to seem too forward in their relationship when Blaine had clearly stated that he wanted to keep things slow, and Kurt was sure that he had seen a flash of something in Blaines eyes when Kurt had held him for a few moments longer than usual the last time they had kissed goodnight. Kurt hated to think that it was discomfort.

But now, as Blaine cuddled closer into his chest, Kurt wondered whether he could have misinterpreted Blaines actions.

Almost questioningly, Kurt moved his arm to tilt Blaines face towards his own. Blaine looked questioning, but smiled when he realized Kurts intention. Slowly, Kurt pressed his lips to Blaines. Blaine leant forward into the kiss, responding eagerly, so Kurt decided to up the game by sliding his tongue firmly over Blaines bottom lip.

Blaines response was immediate. He gasped, opening his lips to deepen the kiss, allowing Kurt to swipe his tongue into Blaines mouth, and groaning when it made contact with Blaines own. In a second, Blaine was readjusting himself so that he was sitting between Kurts legs, his arms around Kurts neck and kissing him fiercely.

Kurts shock must have shown, because Blaine pulled back slightly and said, "Is this okay?"

Kurt groaned at the low tone of Blaines voice, "Yes."

Kurt reconnected their lips, and he could feel Blaine responding with equal measure. Blaine was leaning into him now, and Kurt could feel the press of his baby bump pressing into his own stomach, and the pull of Blaines hands on his shoulders as he tried to bring them closer despite it.

Kurts head was spinning.

He was so confused at the rapid change from chaste kisses to this wild man sucking his tongue into his mouth, but he was so, so okay with this change.

Kurts arousal was making his head swim, and he couldnt help but slide his hands down Blaines back, feeling the muscle beneath his t-shirt. Blaine moaned in response, and Kurt muttered, "God, Blaine, so hot."

The effect was instant. Blaine froze on top of him, and pulled his mouth from Kurts with a lewd sound. 

"Stop." Blaine was climbing from Kurts lap, leaving him feeling cold without the hot cover of Blaines body. Blaine was now standing in the middle of the room, wringing his hands in front of his stomach.

Kurt had to clear his throat before he could speak. "Blaine, Im sorry if that was too fast. I-" but Blaine interrupted.

"Its not that, its just..." Blaine broke off with a frustrated sound. "I dont want you to lie to me."

Kurt was instantly confused. "About what?"

Blaines expression was irritated now, and when he spoke his voice sounded quite desperate. "Youre gorgeous, Kurt, so incredible and sexy. You could probably get any guy you wanted, and I-" he broke off, but Kurt suddenly saw where this was going.

"Wait, you dont think youre sexy?" Kurt was stunned. "Is that why youve been weird about touching me lately?"

Blaine groaned, "Kurt! I dont want you to have to pretend that you find me attractive like this." Blaine gestured to his distended stomach as he spoke. "Youre a wonderful boyfriend, Kurt, but we both know that in an ideal world you would not be dating me as a pregnant man. I dont want to put the pressure on you to try to find me hot when I look like this. Youve got abs, Kurt!"

Kurt was off the couch in a second, and wrapped Blaine in his arms. He was laughing slightly at Blaines hysterical exclamation, and his body shook as Blaine continued in a sad voice, "I used to have abs."

Kurt extended his arms so that he could look Blaine in the eye. "Blaine, I am not trying to do anything. I find you incredibly attractive, and hot, and sexy, and you dont even have to try."

Blaine looked unconvinced, so Kurt went on. He pulled one of his arms from around Blaine to place on his baby bump. "I didnt know you before you had this, Blaine. When I met you, I could see that you were pregnant, and its not like I conveniently forget it. Every time I hugged you, I could feel this bump. Every time I kissed you, I knew it was there. Every moment I found myself falling for you, you were pregnant, Blaine.

"And Im not going to pretend that I like you simply for your sparkling personality." Blaine rolled his eyes and smiled slightly at that, but Kurt went on. "Of course I notice how incredibly appealing you are; your strong muscles, beautiful eyes, amazing butt, and yes, with your belly."

"It doesnt make you uncomfortable? Being with me like that, while Im like this?" Blaine looked into his eyes and Kurt knew he was trying to detect any trace of a lie, so he made his face as open and honest as he could.

"Not at all." Kurt pulled Blaine closer to him to prove his point. "I want to make love to you, Blaine, but only when you feel ready. If you feel too uncomfortable to do it while youre pregnant, Ill respect that. But please dont hold back on my account, because trust me, we have no problems there."

Blaine tilted his head up slightly in order to press his lips to Kurts, and Kurt sighed happily into the kiss. He was feeling so light hearted now that he knew where they stood, and that he had hopefully eased some of the worry from Blaines mind.

When Blaine pulled back, he lowered his eyes to Kurts collar and started fiddling with the fabric. "Im not ready yet," he said, not meeting Kurts eyes as he spoke, but his voice was steady. "Its hard enough for me to open myself up that much, especially when I feel so self-conscious about myself. No, its not something you can do for me," he said, when Kurt made to interrupt, and Kurt nodded his head. "I will be ready; I think I just need some more time."

Kurt nodded and gave Blaine a comforting smile. "In the meantime, can we still make out? Because that was really hot."

Blaine grinned and pulled Kurt back towards the couch. They were going to make out like teenagers, and Kurt was more than okay with it.
