Author's Notes: Here is the revised version of chapter 16, like with most of the summer vacation chapters. I added a bunch more to beef up the scenes and make them longer.
Revised Chapter 16
~A concert for two~

Blaine Anderson found himself sitting in his bedroom after waking up in the morning and he felt like singing. So he did, but only in the shower this time, and his mind and heart was full of nothing but love. He loved Kurt and Kurt loved him back, they had told each other last night and now Blaine could say it to his boyfriend whenever he wanted, as many times as he wanted. Blaine was full of piss and vinegar that morning, to use a phrase Blaine himself normally wouldn't of bothered with. To his delight, after he finished getting dressed Kurt ended up calling him and Blaine showed his excitement right from the start.

“Why hello there handsome, how lucky am I to hear you're angelic voice this early in the morning?” Blaine chimed merrily in greeting.

Kurt's laughter could be heard on the other side of the phone, “Oh stop with the overzealous charm I already said I love you, you nut.” Kurt gushed.

“Good to know, but that doesn't stop me from wanting to woo you.” Blaine replied.

Kurt let out a little giggle, he needed this, after having such a heavy talk with his dad. Kurt knew he wanted to share what had happened with his boyfriend, who would help him fully recover. “You wouldn't believe the morning I've had Blaine.” Kurt muttered.

“Did anything happen that I should be concerned about?” Blaine asked, figuring it was better to find out once and for all by being direct.

“No, not exactly... you're not directly the cause but you played some part in the subject my dad brought to me. Blaine, we had... 'the talk.'” Kurt explained, his voice becoming all ominous for the last two words, like he was uttering a curse.

Blaine's stunned response was easy to tell even without visual aid, the sound of him near gasping was good enough. “Wow...” Blaine breathed.

“I know, right? So yeah... that made my night very memorable, to say the least. In fact, I know it's early but... I really need to see you right now.” Kurt admitted.

“I'd love nothing better, come on over here and we can talk about what happened. Since I know that's what you want right now.” Blaine offered.

“Thank you... you just seem to know what I want or need or like this time, when they're both in the same.” Kurt gushed.

“Guess that's why we're in love.” Blaine responded with affection.

“I'll be right over.”

“And I'll be waiting.” Blaine replied with a smile.

Kurt was already enjoying the summer break immensely because it meant he and Blaine could spend far more time together without the burden of school. He got the feeling they'd become quite inseparable over summer vacation but considering come the fall Blaine would be back at Dalton, Kurt didn't mind that outcome. Heck, he'd even survive any relentless teasing he got from his friends and family, Blaine was well worth it. Though while talking to Blaine about 'the talk' he had with his dad the night before probably would be helpful, it was still felt a little odd to bring the subject up at all. Which is why he didn't do so over the phone, since they had only touched on the physical side of their relationship. So far only confirming they wanted to wait.

At first Blaine wasn't going to ask about what Kurt and his dad had discussed, leaving Kurt to do so himself. But when they met up and headed to Blaine's bedroom he could tell Kurt was hesitant but more importantly, he didn't want to be. “So how'd the talk with your dad go?” Blaine offered as he sat down on the bed.

Kurt gave Blaine his best attempt at an appreciative smile, since he normally would have just kissed him but he did want to merely talk for a while. So Kurt sat next to Blaine on the bed and turned to face him. “Um... actually... pretty well, for the most part. Don't get me wrong, it was really embarrassing subject matter and there were some awkward moments. In fact when my dad first told me I froze in terror but there was no chance for escape. I have to admit my dad told me some really meaningful things... values I think are really going to stick with me.” Kurt explained softly.

Blaine smiled at Kurt, when on the inside he was a little jealous, not to the point of showing that even to someone as perceptive as his boyfriend. His dad had never had the talk with him or gave any inkling that he intended to, even with his son having a boyfriend now. The talk wasn't needed, Blaine had found all the answers he was wanted to know about but that was beyond the point. “Are they too personal to share with me?” Blaine asked, being completely serious.

Kurt could see the venerability in Blaine's eyes and he just shook his head, taking hold of Blaine's hand as he did. “No, they're not too personal for me to tell you, Blaine. Basically he said that I shouldn't throw myself around... like I don't matter, when it comes to sex. That when I'm ready I should use it as a way to connect with another person.” Kurt explained, his look softening as he gazed into Blaine's inviting eyes.

“That sounds like good advice to me.” Blaine agreed.

“For us really, which I pointed out to my dad. I know when we're finally ready to take that step... sex will be more than the physical act. Sure we'll probably be more focused on how good it feels... superficially in the heat of the moment. But I still like to think our feelings and how it affects us emotionally will play some part as well.” Kurt said.

Blaine reached out and ran his hand down Kurt's back, “So do I.” he said with a warm smile.

“Did your dad... ever have the talk with you?” Kurt asked shyly, he had a feeling he knew the answer was no. But he also had an inkling that Blaine wanted to talk about that and Kurt was happy to oblige his boyfriend, this was a big step for them. Even if it was just talking about sex in general, for Kurt, who had never wanted to before, it was huge.

Even though Blaine got the opportunity to talk about his experience, or lack thereof, he couldn't help but stumble at the beginning, because he still was an embarrassed teenage boy. “Um... no...” Blaine finally answered with a sigh. “My dad' s never been very comfortable with my sexuality. Though I will admit I think he was like that before I came out too... me being gay just made him even more averted to the idea. I get that I'm not alone in this, plenty of straight kids don't have the talk with their folks. I think my dad thought if he didn't tell me anything I simply wouldn't want to do it. At the time I also have to be honest and say I didn't really want my dad to try. God I hate to think how that would have turned out...” Blaine said with a shudder.

“I think you're pretty correct with that assumption. If you had asked me yesterday if I would have wanted to have the talk with my dad. I would have sputtered off and shouted out 'No Way!' and run off.” Kurt admitted with a smirk.

Blaine laughed at the mental image, happy to break a bit of tension cause he wanted to keep talking to Kurt. “Oh, I can totally picture that.” he chuckled.

“I did go looking for information myself and I found it, eventually. So I know all the details, to be safe like with protection... always use lube and such.” Blaine commented.

Kurt felt himself began to blush and he felt like the temperature in the room was rising a bit. “My dad gave me some pamphlets, which were an interesting read. I know the 'mechanics', as my dad put it, properly now... and the risks of unprotected sex. Which I never planned on having anyway... since before we met I was happy to be ignorant about the naked hokey pokey.” Kurt muttered, making air quotes over the last two words.

Blaine broke out laughing but made himself calm back down but Kurt was so witty it was hard at times. “For the record, I looked all that up before I met you. Which doesn't mean anything when it comes to us.”

“Well maybe it should... after talking with my dad yesterday, where you did come up a bit. It got me thinking that maybe we should have our own talk about sex.” Kurt suggested.

Blaine shifted closer to Kurt on the bed but didn't actually go so far as to touch or cuddle his boyfriend. Instead, he crossed his legs on the bed so they were sitting face to face. They were nervous, both teens could tell, but they still held firm to their choice. “I wholeheartedly agree, Kurt. I think it's time that we get down to the nitty gritty. I don't think it's too soon, not after we've confessed we're in love. For a lot of kids our age, or really any couples... sex would soon follow.” Blaine said.

“Or they did that stuff before admitting their feelings even but that's not us.” Kurt reaffirmed.

“No, we said it before, we don't want to rush into this. We mean too much to each other and now we know by how much.” Blaine added.

“I already know we're of one mind here, Blaine, but I still want us to tell our sides of what we're feeling. I mean, we both know we're young and have strong hormone-driven urges... and I'll admit I have felt my desire for you and it's increasing. I love how it feels when we kiss and hug and roll around on the bed for make out sessions. It feels good and when I'm with you, being that close... sometimes I get the urge to want to feel more. It hasn't happened a lot since we've only been together as an actual couple for like two months... but it's still there.” Kurt began to explain.

“Keep going, but I have to say that's what it's like for me too.” Blaine interrupted.

“Noted. It's just, before I met you, Blaine... I always said I was a romantic, I never thought I'd get the chance to experience anything beyond silly guy crushes. Sure I hoped I'd get to have a boyfriend one day but all I ever pictured was us holding hands, maybe sharing a kiss or two. I knew I wanted that, however impossible it seemed. Sex was kind of scary to me and I just never really thought about it . I was content to stay in the dark about the physical side of romance, at least past a PG-13 rating. I didn't think I could ever trust someone that much, to want to expose myself... not just meaning getting naked. That and what I thought gay sex was all about weirded me out a bit... am I making any sense?” Kurt finally sputtered off as he got too embarrassed to continue.

Blaine chuckled and gave Kurt an encouraging kiss on the cheek. “Totally... I can't say my own experiences were the same. I was kind of torn, like you I saw myself as a romantic or hoped to be one, someday. But I always thought I wasn't good at romance or at expressing my true feelings. I went looking for information about sex since even I knew it was something I should learn about. So if and when I met the right guy I could be careful and not ignorant and make a mistake. Sure, I did have some sexy fantasies about my possible sexual awakening from time to time. But for the most part, I wanted to be able to make someone I cared about feel good.” Blaine explained.

“I know that after meeting you Blaine, my views on sex are changing. I want to go there someday, and do everything... even that...” Kurt admitted sheepishly, relieved that Blaine didn't make him clarify what 'that' obviously was. “I know the time will come when I want to take that next step with you, Blaine. But I also know that that time isn't now, not yet... I'm not ready.” Kurt admitted.

The words Kurt finished with couldn't be taken as rejection in any sense and Blaine knew that, just as he knew it had been the right choice to have their own talk. “I am so in love with you, Kurt. I think I might have been right from the start. I thought I'd be dreaming for the rest of my life about finding someone to love... I surely never thought I'd find him when I was sixteen! Now here you are and here we are finding out first hand about love... and sexual desire. We're not shying away and it has nothing to do with us being gay either. Sure, when we make out, I find it inevitable for my mind- well... maybe some lower parts of mine-to go there. But I know first and fore most I care about you more than my urges. I want to take things slow, that doesn't mean I love you any less. I love you more, but I'm not ready either.” Blaine confirmed.

Blaine and Kurt fell silent as they looked at each with love in their eyes, savouring the romantic exchange. The fact they were sitting there, as two equals, telling each other very personal feelings and opinions and they not only agreed but took them straight to heart. Sure the subject matter wasn't exactly romantic to some but for them it was. Of course eventually the mood of the room was broken by the pair beginning to laugh, but from joy not awkwardness.

“My, aren't we being all mature.” Kurt teased.

“Yeah... we might be too bias to know for sure but I'm wondering if whenever we talk we sound amazing... or corny?”

“Who says we can't be both?” Kurt interjected.

“Sounds good to me.” Blaine agreed.

For a little reward the couple allowed themselves to do a little smooching but they didn't want to stop talking just yet. There was one final detail to go over before they could let the subject drop, for now anyway.

“So we'll continue to take things slow then?” Kurt asked.

Blaine nodded, “Yes... because that's what we honestly want to do. We'll wait and take our relationship day by day, step by step. See where that will lead us.” Blaine confirmed.

“Because in the end we know whenever we want to go all the way, it will have been worth the wait.” Kurt added.

Blaine laughed and wrapped his arms around Kurt's shoulder, pulling him down on the bed. “Here's hoping.” he laughed. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Blaine and Kurt did at least try to vary their days together and have a special guest now and then and today’s participant was none other than Mercedes Jones. Who, after much convincing that she wouldn't be ignored or become a third wheel, had agreed to join the young couple at the Lima Bean in the afternoon. The subject of the day had nothing to do with sex either, it revolved around Blaine and Kurt's first love: music.

Kurt sat down at the table after retrieving their drinks and handed them out, the cheerful expression on his face showed he had plans to share. “So... remember that song assignment idea you and I had, Blaine?” Kurt began.

“Where we'd put on some sort of concert for each other?” Blaine offered.

“Yes, that one... well I think I've come up with a good way for that to happen.” Kurt began.

“Oh this should be good.” Mercedes said teasingly in surprise.

Kurt merely rolled his eyes mockingly at Mercedes, noticing Blaine just began to chuckle. “Hush you or I won't let you in my brilliant plan.” Kurt scoffed.

“I kinda wanna hear this, Mercedes.” Blaine added with a cheeky grin.

“Fine, go on, even when I know I won't be invited I know it'll be good.” Mercedes muttered in defeat.

Kurt gave a triumphant smile and began to ramble. “Blaine and I were considering putting on some sort of concert. I'm sure at the time it was just a passing comment but I couldn't stop thinking about it. Us not being in the same glee club means we miss out a lot of chances to see each other sing. So I thought, why should we miss out?” Kurt began.

“So you mean we should pick a number of songs to sing to each other?” Blaine questioned.

“Sort of, at least that's the main idea... I'm still trying to sort everything out. But basically, yes.” Kurt confirmed.

“I like it, why don't we pick songs we sang in glee club this year and maybe add a few extra songs in for fun?” Blaine went on suggesting.

“I like the way you think, cutie.” Kurt cooed.

“Seriously you two need to stop being so adorable together.” Mercedes muttered. “Or at least when I'm here.”

Blaine and Kurt looked like twins as they narrowed her eyes at her but they proved to be big fakers as the trio broke out into laughter. To play it safe and keep things harmonious, everyone chose to switch to safer and more included topics for the remainder of their time together. But the concert was still very much on Kurt's mind so the second they were alone in Kurt's bedroom he had intended to bring it up once more only Blaine ended up beating him to the punch.

“So think the concert idea could work?” Blaine asked him.

Kurt leaned closer into Blaine from their spot on his couch, with Blaine bringing his arm to wrap around his shoulder. “I think it could be fun, far better than moping about all the solo of yours I've missed. I also already can think of lots of songs I'd love to sing to you.” Kurt admitted.

“Me too, but I don't want it to be a competition. That will be hard enough to face for the next school year.” Blaine warned.

“Okay so no awards or a winner, I can go with that. How far should we go, though? Like with outfits and dance moves? You know me, it doesn't take much for me to want to pull out all the stops.” Kurt babbled.

“While I love it when you're all theatrical let's not go overboard. I think one wardrobe that's versatile and flattering should do it. As for dance moves, well for the solos we did in glee club we can use that choreography if there is any. For any addition songs, I say we can add some steps. But I don't want to spend a ton of time rehearsing. I get the feeling we'll want this to be a surprise so we'll need some time apart to work on everything.” Blaine said.

Kurt nodded as he considered each detail and for everyone he was on board quickly. “Alright... well next I'd love if we could sing together a couple of times too. What's the point of having such a talented boyfriend if we don't indulge in a duet now and then.” Kurt suggested.

“Good, good... I'm loving this concert idea more and more, Kurt! I say we make the duet our closing number. Hey, that will give us one song to work on as a team. That's something we don't get to do for glee club.” Blaine pointed out happily.

“Having us do our own little concert is sure becoming a very tempting thing to do...” Kurt admitted.

“We've have a couple of hints so far, like seeing our Regional performances, you sneaking into Dalton. Not to mention our singing some karaoke at Rachel's... so we already know how good our voices go together.” Blaine added flirtatiously.

Kurt always loved to flirt with his boyfriend and take part in one of their favourite pastimes: playful banter. At the moment though, Kurt still wanted to finalize the remaining details for their concert so the real planning could begin.“Was that really any surprise given our obvious chemistry?” Kurt teased.

For the next hour the pair went over every detail they could think of pertaining the supposed concert. Like how many songs they would sing, enough to make it feel like a concert but not too many that they'd be totally worn out by the end. Wanting to keep themselves from keeling over, they suggested to make their set list twelve songs in all, six numbers split between the two of them. Though they remembered their wanting to end with a duet so that brought the end number to thirteen and neither teen felt the end count to be in any way unlucky. They further broke down the assignment and continued on to cover what each of their six solo numbers could be.

“Let's pick three songs we sang in class over the year...” Kurt began to suggest.

“... and let the other three be new songs of our choosing?” Blaine finished without any prompting.

“How about we pick two ourselves and let the other choose the final song?” Kurt countered.

Blaine's face lit up with excitement, “Oh I love that idea! I can already think of a ton of songs I want to hear you sing.”

“Then the challenge there will be choosing just one.” Kurt sassed.

“Anything else we need to cover?” Blaine urged.

Kurt furrowed his brows as he shifted his weight in Blaine's embrace, leading to resting his back on Blaine's chest. They were doing good so far but there were still facts they needed to figure out but Kurt was loving every second. Who needed sex at this point when figuring out a mini concert was giving him such a rush? “Let's try to keep this light and fun, limit ourselves a bit on epic love ballads that will render us to tears. Why don't we try to give each song a separate mood or theme, if possible, so we can keep our performances varied. Because the last thing we'd need is to become too overwhelmed with emotion to continue.” Kurt pointed out.

“While I'd like to think we're professional enough to pull through, I see you're point there.” Blaine commented.

“That leaves us with one final decision Blaine, and it's one I'm pulling a blank on...” Kurt began.

“Location.” They both answered in unison.

Another short paused but unlike before this time they didn't come up with any immediate solutions. But the answer to figuring out where they could sing was dealt with the same way, they kept on talking.

“I mean, we could just have it here... but since Finn's arrival there's a lot less room. I also would hate to ask him to move all his stuff to the side. The only downside of it being the summer is no auditorium access.” Kurt told Blaine.

“And renting some place just for the two of us would be sort of pointless.” Blaine muttered.

Kurt let out a silly giggle at the fact that Blaine had gone so far as to consider renting a venue, even Kurt hadn't done that. Before Kurt could make his usual flirtatious comeback they both heard someone coming down the stairs. For once Blaine and Kurt weren't in any sort of compromising position, so there was no urge to move apart from cuddling. Until Finn walked right by the pair without any acknowledgement and Kurt rolled his eyes, it seemed even when they were innocent Finn assumed the worse. “Finn, you're treading lightly is unnecessary, come on over here!” Kurt called out.

Finn peaked out from the end of the divider by the stairs to see Kurt was telling the truth and he just gave the pair a smile in greeting.

“Hey, Finn.” Blaine told him.

Finn stepped into Kurt's side of the room, “Oh hey Kurt, Blaine.” he simply replied.

Blaine straightened up a bit and slid to the edge of the couch, Kurt shifting along with him to give a spot for Finn to sit down beside them. He took the offer and sat down beside them, showing he was totally relaxed and they could both tell, worn out.

“So how're things with Rachel going?” Blaine asked him.

“Pretty good I think, I mean she can get a little controlling at times... but she knows me better than I think I know myself.” Finn said in reply. “So what have you guys been up to?” He asked in return.

Blaine and Kurt smiled, they were happy to see Finn was actually trying to engage them in conversation and Finn seemed nothing but relaxed at the idea. Which meant he was now getting used to the idea of having two guys he could just talk to, where their sexual orientation made no difference. Kurt was used to this a bit himself after joining glee club but he still really wasn't super close with any of the guys in the New Directions, like he was with the girls. So his building friendship with Finn to the point of them almost being brothers, was in a way very welcome.

“Well, right now we're trying to figure out the details for a private concert we're planning.” Kurt explained, when he saw the face Finn made he groaned. “And by 'private concert' I actually mean that, as in just singing to each other!” Kurt blurted out.

Finn then suddenly looked relieved and Blaine couldn't help but laugh at that. “We just need a location.” Blaine added.

“Why not just use the auditorium then?” Finn suggested.

“Because it's summer vacation right now, Finn.” Kurt replied.

“But Rachel's used it already a lot this summer. Seems she made a deal with Figgins or something. I think she pays like 20 bucks to use it for a few hours to practice her singing. Something about her not getting rusty...” Finn muttered.

“Why am I not surprised?” Kurt commented in reply. “But thank you Finn, that solves our problem.”

“No biggie, just don't tell Rachel about this... because if she found out... next thing I know she'd want to do the same thing... I can only imagine how that would go.” Finn said with a shudder.

“Oh yes, I could picture it now. Rachel would want to put a full concert on. For the whole town to see and she'd sing all the songs.” Kurt commented with a smile.

“And there would be no teachers to stop her.” Blaine added with a grin.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

After finalizing all the possible details of how the concert would play out, that only left the couple's set list to focus on. By the end of the night they had decided to hold the concert at the end of summer vacation so they would have plenty of time to rehearse, and also give them a high point to look forward to when normally heading back to different schools would be nothing but a buzz-kill. The one upside to choosing to keep their songs a secret from one another was that now Kurt and Blaine had something to do when they weren't together. So Kurt currently was lying on his stomach on his bed, his legs up in the air as he searched through his music library on his laptop. Picking the songs he had sung in Glee club had been the easy part. He had selected 'House is Not a Home', 'Defying Gravity' and 'Bad Romance'. That now left only the remaining two songs to decide upon and so far he hadn't made much progress. The problem was there were just too many songs to narrow down, so many melodies he'd love Blaine to hear him sing. Since Kurt wasn't getting anywhere for his own numbers, he chose to make a small detour and focus on Blaine's song he'd get to choose. It took him about an hour but finally after doing a very thorough search he came to a stop at one particular song and began to grin. “Looks like we have a winner.” he said to himself with satisfaction. Another song down, leaving only two more to go. By this point Kurt was wondering how his boyfriend was fairing, so he brought out his phone to get to the bottom of things on that front.

How's the song hunt going?
He sent to Blaine.

Kurt went back to searching for his last two songs as he waited for Blaine's reply and by the time Blaine answered, Kurt had found his show tune number. He had considered not to bother but there was little point to deny how much he loved Broadway musicals. Kurt knew for his last song he wanted it to be something more recent and fun but he was enjoying this task for their concert a great deal. Kurt's train of thought was stopped when he heard his phone buzz and he began to smile. It looked like Blaine was also in the thick of things when it came to set lists if it had taken him this long to reply.

Pretty good, I think I found my song pick for you. ;)

You're ahead of me then, I still have two more song to pick for myself.

I'm gonna call you, hold on.

After reading that text from Blaine, sure enough he heard his phone ring and he quickly answered. “Sick of texting already, Blaine?”

“I just needed to hear your voice, Kurt.” Blaine replied lovingly.

“You're too kind, cutie.” Kurt cooed.

“So if you've found my song already, I take it you're still okay with us giving each other our song choices tonight?” Blaine reconfirmed.

“Yep, I figure we can play the songs to have a fun reveal.” Kurt went on to suggest.

“You have no idea how much I am enjoying this already.” Blaine told him with excitement.

“I know! It's almost like we're in the same glee club!” Kurt replied, but then quickly regretted he had. He didn't want to bring down their excitement with the reminded come September, they'd be in different schools again. “Sorry.” Kurt added quickly.

“Don't be Kurt, It's on my mind too. But at least we have this mini concert to look forward to.” Blaine pointed out.

Kurt sighed, “You' re right of course Blaine, I love you.” he added, it still felt so new and wonderful every time he said that to Blaine.

“I love you too Kurt... Hey! That's the first time we'd said that over the phone.”

“I'm sure we've said it before honey, but that hardly matters.” Kurt argued.

“Okay... that just means I'll have to look for other new ways to tell you I love you.”

“I look forward to that.” Kurt chuckled.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The wait to reveal their song requests to one another had been hard to live through, so much that the couple cut their date short so they could hurry back to Kurt's bedroom and for once not to make out. Not that them going to a play at the local community centre hadn't been surprisingly entertaining. But considering the company they both had that was hardly a surprise, since being together meant a good day no matter where they went. More often that not though the setting they enjoyed the most was being in either of the bedrooms. Not because it meant they'd have enough privacy to kiss and cuddle, though that was a perk but it meant they could talk together, being at total ease and let their normal chemistry flow.

Kurt was humming away as he opened up his laptop and went to his music files, glancing over at Blaine who was staring at him. “Are you bored?” Kurt accused.

“Not at all, in fact I find you adorable, when you're like this.” Blaine replied.

“You're pretty cute yourself.” Kurt declared as he watched Blaine come over to him, lean down and kiss his lips. Once Blaine sat down beside him on his couch Kurt continued with sharing the new information he had for their concert. “So I managed to get a hold of Principal Figgins and got everything set up for our concert. It's going to end up being two weeks before school starts though, since the teachers come back before the students and everything. But I figure that still gives us plenty of time to prepare.” Kurt explained.

“Sounds good to me. You know I find myself torn now...” Blaine began to say.

Kurt gave Blaine a curious look, “Oh? About what, your song choices?” he asked.

Blaine shook his head, when Kurt seemed to catch on that the answer wasn't short Kurt snuggled up to Blaine and got all comfortable. “No, not that... that I have all figured out for the most part. What I'm torn about is if we should keep this as just a concert for two or invite people. I kind of wish our friends and even family could see us too.” he explained.

Kurt frowned, that idea hadn't even crossed his mind, he sat up to straighten Blaine's bow-tie and once done he noticed Blaine's look and his heart began to race since he knew what it meant. There was nothing wrong with distracting themselves for a bit with a little recreation, when it was kissing. Just because they were taking things slow it didn't mean they didn't intend to move at all, baby steps could be quite fun.

Blaine took hold of Kurt's shoulders as they pressed themselves together in the middle of the couch, exploring their lips. Blaine loved all the different types of kisses they experienced, short little ones, quick little pecks and then the deeper more passionate kisses where they got to experiment with tongue. All of these made Blaine's head spin and at the present this was very true, Blaine was delighted that Kurt took the lead and opened Blaine's mouth with his own.

“I'm so glad you were my first kiss, Kurt.” Blaine murmured as Kurt began to kiss his neck.

“Me too.” Kurt muttered back as he resumed giving his boyfriend a hickey.

“I still am amazed that kiss was good, since neither of us had gotten to practice before.” Blaine continued.

Kurt paused and he began to blush, “Um... that's not really true for me...” Kurt admitted softly.

Blaine blinked when he finally caught up with what Kurt meant and he laughed, until he saw Kurt's bruised expression and he quickly made up for the error and kissed him hard on the mouth. “Oh, right you made out with Brittany... well girls don't count.” Blaine scoffed.

“Man I love you, that's my same opinion and really I was more the kissed than the kisser.. meaning Brittany was doing all the work.” Kurt concluded while making up words on the fly.

“Could you stop talking about kissing Brittany while we're making out? or I might mess up here.” Blaine whined, though he was just joking around.

Kurt now was the one to laugh and he brought his arms to drape over Blaine's shoulders, his hands coming to cup the back of his neck and he lunged forward and launched his own lip attack. Blaine wasn't about to fight the move and they soon were stretched out on the couch with Kurt on top of him. Sadly their teenage hormones were still unpredictable and the couple was faced with keeping to the plan to going slow.

“I need to stop Blaine... or else... this could get awkward.” Kurt muttered, not happy to admit it.

Blaine sighed and let Kurt climb off of him and sit back up on the couch as the attempted to fix his now tousled hair. Blaine smiled when he noticed Kurt's collarbone now was sporting a red love bite from when Blaine had managed to undo the collar of his shirt. “Good call, I was about to suggest the same thing.”

“Were you really?” Kurt teased.

“Do you doubt my honour?” Blaine scoffed mockingly.

Their little attempts at acting quickly came unhinged as they broke out into laughter and Blaine came to sit on the arm of the couch, his legs draping over and his feet resting on the couch bottom cushion, Kurt simply sat down beside him, leaning his side against Blaine's knees. Blaine reached down to take hold of Kurt's hand where his arm was now resting over Blaine's knees and they spent a bit of time just looking at each other with love.

“So um what were we talking about before?” Blaine finally asked.

“If the concert should be private or opened up for invitation only?” Kurt offered.

“Right, I never heard what you thought about that idea.” Blaine reminded his boyfriend.

Kurt sighed, “Well... as much as I'd like to show my friends how well we can sing, where it might give me more solo chances in the future. I'm not sure I want to share you, or have an audience for when the show' s over.” he began. Until he noticed Blaine was staring at him with amusement and Kurt began to blush. “As in our loving exchange of words! What are you imagining, Blaine?” Kurt sputtered off as he poked Blaine in the ribs.

Blaine flinched from the jab but he took it in stride. “Nothing I swear! Maybe we can tape it or something?” Blaine suggested to change the subject as he batted Kurt's prodding finger away from his side capturing his hand and kissing it instead to appease his handsome attacker.

The ploy ended up working and Kurt came to rest his head on his hands, which were still on Blaine's knee as he looked up at Blaine with excitement. “Now that's an idea! Taking a Rachel turn on things... I'm worried she's rubbing off on you. Don't let me see you starting to date her next or something.” Kurt teased.

“How could I date her when I'm already dating and am oh so in love with you, Kurt?” Blaine challenged.

Kurt smirked at Blaine and pulled himself up into a kneeling position so Blaine could take his arms and bring him close so their lips could meet once more. Until they ended up getting too into their kissing and Blaine fell right off the couch ass first onto the floor. By some miracle Kurt stopped himself from falling on top of Blaine, instead finding his stomach lying over the arm of the couch with his front side tipped over and his face close to the floor and Blaine's fallen figure.

“Ow.” Blaine muttered as he felt the wave of new pain.

“Are you okay?” Kurt asked as he tried to regain his balance and get up without falling himself. Luckily for him Blaine had already picked himself up and helped pull Kurt up off the couch as well and they just snickered at one another.

“New rule, no kissing on edges of things.” Blaine suggested.

“Good call.” Kurt agreed with amusement.

“I think this is a good time to reveal our song picks for each other.” Blaine brought up.

Kurt nodded in agreement and after their tumble they decided to sit on the bed, hoping the flatter surface would be a safer location. Kurt brought his laptop along and when Blaine came to sit beside him, so he couldn't see the screen and be spoiled, they continued with that plan.

“Okay I'll go first then, hold on.” Blaine said as he grabbed his phone from his pant pocket. “I downloaded it on to my phone to show you here...” he muttered as he searched for it. “It's kind of silly and probably not something you'd usually sing. But I think you'll kill the number, Kurt. As soon as I saw the title I knew I had to hear you sing it.” he added and pressed play.

Kurt had tried to keep a professional expression on his face until he heard the first verse and while he didn't recognize the song, he burst out laughing, making it harder to pay extra attention to the lyrics and in the end he couldn't keep quiet any longer. “Oh my lord Blaine, what in the world is this song?” Kurt asked as he broke out in almost hysterical laughter.

Blaine was enjoying Kurt's extreme reaction and he hoped his amusement meant he was on board with singing the song. “It's 'Kiss my Sass' by Cobra Starship, Kurt! Before you say anything else: the actual lyrics have nothing to do with you personally! Though you do of course 'got soul'” Blaine replied with a laugh. “But if you really don't want to sing it I can find another one...” he began to offer but he hoped Kurt would shoot that down.

To Blaine's delight he did just that when he shook his head, still snickering away as he tried to regain his composure. “No cutie, it's fine! I don't mind singing this because you were correct when you said I would kill the song. I'm just finding myself all curious to how you came to pick this and why.” Kurt explained as he gave Blaine a quick peck on the lips.

By this point Blaine wasn't about to stall with letting their lips get busy once more, he enjoyed talking with his boyfriend as much as he did kissing him after-all. “Oh that's a request I can grant with no problem, handsome. The first time I saw you, you know, at the mall... well after you told off those bullies my friend Trent commented on how you had sass. That statement really stuck with me and I naturally agreed. So now it's sort of a word I've associated with you and as we've gotten to know each other, it fits. Just for fun I did a song search using the word sass and that's the first song that came up and I was sold.” Blaine explained.

Kurt grinned and gave one last throaty laugh before his mouth closed to form a loving smile. Kurt hugged Blaine and pulled him close, where Blaine rested his head on Kurt's shoulder and hugged him back. “Oh how I love you and your adorable ways, Blaine Anderson.” he gushed.

“Right back at you, Kurt. I take it this means you're okay with singing the song?”

“What does your instinct tell you?” Kurt whispered in Blaine's ear provocatively.

Blaine's response was to shiver and they chose to play it safe and pulled apart, exchanging bashful and sappy grins. “What about your song for me? I can hardly wait to find out.” Blaine urged.

Kurt nodded and grabbed for his laptop and placed it on his lap, he quickly brought up the song in question and paused before hitting the play button. “It might seem kind of boring compared to your choice. It's not some sassy song, but it's one I'd truly like to hear you sing with your talented voice, Blaine...” Kurt began to ramble.

“I'm loving the disclaimer Kurt, but it's unnecessary, just hit play.” Blaine assured.

After giving him a cheeky grin Kurt simply clammed up and hit the play button, looking at Blaine from the corner of his eye and awaited seeing his reaction to his song choice. Straight away Blaine's eyes lit up and that proved he knew the song.

Blaine began to beam at Kurt but he didn't speak right away, listening to the melody, which turned out to the 'The World That We Live In.' by the Killers. The couple began to sway back and forth as they mimed the words and when they noticed they were doing the same thing they laughed. Blaine brought his hand to cup the side of Kurt's face and he found himself getting lost in those eyes, he could stare at Kurt all day if he was given the chance.

No chance was given when Kurt wanted to hear what Blaine thought, even when it was easy to figure out. “I take it you like the song, Blaine?” he urged.

Now wasn't the time for words Blaine decided, instead he brought his head close to Kurt's and he just smiled at first. When Kurt closed his eyes and their lips met, his answer was expressed through that tender kiss. Because sometimes, a kiss could say far more than words, or even a song.
