Kurt brushed his teeth thoroughly, not allowing himself to think of the jocks and their constant bullying. Dave Karofsky had seemed to increase the amount of slushy's aimed at him recently and Kurt was getting nervous. He didn't understand why the stupid meathead was focusing on him so much. It couldn't be based on his sexuality alone... There must be another reason for the increased amount featured in the morning routine.

Kurt undressed with care, folding his clothes and putting them in the laundry pile he'd created, until he was left in just his dark boxers. Throwing himself onto the bed, he burrowed himself under the silk-woven covers, ignoring the world around him. His blankets always made him feel protected and safe.

Eyeing the clock on the wall, he noticed the time was merely eight thirty. His dad was probably wondering why he'd gone to bed so early. Kurt didn't want to admit how bad the bullying had gotten to his father. He didn't need to know, not after his heart attack.

He reached over to the floor, for once not caring about his untidiness, and picked up his laptop. If he was correct, Blaine should have responded to his question by now. Kurt blushed as he remembered the desperation in his message. He should have probably stuck to the casual talking that the two of them had been enjoying.

Logging on, he saw a new message from Sam. “Dude, guess what? I made another friend. Some un who isn't u!”

Kurt wanted to respond with something witty about Sam's appalling spelling, but Sam was his friend. He couldn't be mean to him. “I'm glad. You deserve more friends on this site than just me. I'm only good for cosplaying and fanfiction.”

He smiled at some of the compliments from his biggest fans. He could always count on DinahCassie and drivingintheimpala to review and adore his stories. They helped raise his confidence, even after his whole day had been awful.

Finally he came across bowtiedjensenfreak. Kurt gasped again as he took in the new profile picture beside it. It was of a boy - Blaine - dressed as the eleventh Doctor. He looked incredible in the raggedy jacket and a pristine bowtie. Kurt could almost feel himself drooling at how adorable and somehow sexy the boy looked.

“Don't,” he muttered to himself. “You're not even sure if he's gay. Even if he does have Jensen in his URL... And his blog's made up of Jensen Ackles... He reads Destiel fic... Oh god, he actually might be gay.”

Kurt's smile brightened at the possibility. It dimmed as he realized that Sam also had a blog dedicated to Supernatural and read Destiel fic, but was one hundred percent straight. Blaine could be just like Sam.

“Just read the message,” he told himself through gritted teeth. “The sooner you read the message, the sooner it'll be over with.”

“If you're even half as good at designing clothes as you are at writing fic I wouldn't be surprised if every A-lister in Hollywood wanted you to design their clothes. ;)

And are you kidding me? I would love to be your beta!! I have to warn you though; I don't have any experience beta-ing. And I'm not a great writer.”

Kurt sat paralyzed for two whole minutes, shocked at the response. Blaine had to be gay. It was simply not fair if he wasn't. Hot, sweet and honest? There wasn't a better combination for a potential love interest. The only way he could be any more perfect was if he sang and loved musical theater as much as Kurt himself did.

He frowned as he re-read the part about Blaine not being a great writer. If that was the case, it was probably better if he didn't beta Kurt's fic. Kurt did want it to be perfect, or as perfect a fanfiction could be.

Heading over to Blaine's blog, he decided to look at the boy's drabbles and judge if he was up to the job of editing Kurt's fic.

Clicking on the link appropriately titled ‘Destiel Drabbles and Favorite Fics: A Masterlist' he soon found himself staring at twenty different drabbles, all with a little information underneath them. Kurt frowned at the titles - ‘Romancin' and Dancin'', ‘Smoking On the Water' and ‘Jumping Impala's'. He decided then and there that asking Blaine for help with a title was not something he should even consider.

He clicked on ‘Jumping Impala's' due to his curiosity.

After a few shocked moments, he found himself laughing at the absurdity of the fic. It was well-written and the characterization was impeccable. The only issue was the plot. It was about the Impala jumping over the moon and bringing down certain demons who'd been hidden on the moon for a long time. Kurt laughed at the strangeness of it all. Despite the random plot, it was a fun read, and the romance... Kurt didn't know people could write romance like that.

“Don't be so harsh on yourself!” Kurt started his message, chiding Blaine for making so little of his talent. “I read ‘Jumping Impala's' and it was incredible. The plot could use some work, but your writing style and the characterization are just... Perfection. The Destiel was so romantic. I wish I could have a romance like that. It's everything I've ever wanted. You have to be my beta. Please.”

Kurt beamed, hitting send, envisioning having a romance as sweet as the one Blaine had managed to produce in his drabble. He would love a boy to hold him close, take him everywhere with pride and love.

He wanted someone to love him for who he was. If someone couldn't love him for all his flaws, they weren't the right person for him.

Kurt Hummel wanted romance.

He returned to Blaine's page, glancing at his profile picture again with a lopsided smile. Maybe Blaine could help him find the person he was meant to be with.
