~Rocky Horror Glee Show~
Kurt had never been so excited about Halloween before and the reason was that it would be his and Blaine's first one together. Although Kurt knew Halloween wasn't seen as a romantic holiday like Valentine’s Day it didn't make him any less excited. Halloween meant wearing costumes and there was no fear of strangers staring at you when you stood out too much. It was the one night where people could be anyone they wanted to be and look however they wanted, to a certain degree, of course. It was no surprise that Kurt already had a great idea for what he and Blaine could dress up as and he knew Blaine would jump on board. However, he still planned to run the idea by Blaine first, because he didn't want to become a controlling boyfriend. His chance came when he and Blaine went out for coffee at the Lima Bean after school, just like it was any other day. Kurt followed his boyfriend to get join the queue and flashed him a devious grin.
“So what's with the face?” Blaine asked playfully.
“Well Halloween is just around the corner, so I figure we should start planning our costume possibilities together.” Kurt began to explain.
“I have a feeling you already have an idea and that's one of the many reason why I love you.” Blaine replied with a smile.
“And your comments like that are a reason that I love you.”
“So what are we going to go as?” Blaine asked him.
“I thought we could wear the costumes we wanted to do for the Sing-A-Long Sound of Music since we never got to go to, with what happened with my Dad and everything.” Kurt answered.
“Oh, I like that! So is the plan still for you to go as 'Mario' Von Trapp and me as Captain George?” Blaine asked with a smirk.
“Yes, I doubt anyone will realize I'll be dressed as a male version of Maria anyway so it should be fine.” Kurt replied, though he was slightly unnerved about wearing it to school. Kurt had never felt worried about what he wore normally, even when they were far from normal, but this was different.
After they got their coffee and were seated, they continued their conversation. “I wouldn't worry about it, Kurt. I mean, people wear stuff like that all the time for Halloween.” Blaine pointed out.
“Yes, except when a gay guy does the same thing it suddenly shows the horrible double standards of the world. But I refuse to let the homophobes of McKinley make my costume decisions for me.” Kurt replied. “And really it wouldn't be comfortable to dress as Maria, not with where her dress hemlines reach to, I'd be tripping wherever I go.”
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Halloween seemed to be the topic of choice in glee club as Blaine listened to Kurt and Brittany discuss their costume plans. Blaine paused when Brittany said she wanted to go as a peanut allergy and he tried to picture how that would work. Before he could ask her about it Mr. Schuester stepped in and brought everyone's chatting to a halt when he announced they'd be doing a musical. Blaine's attention immediately snapped forward with excitement, he had been hoping this would happen. Dalton never really bothered with musicals as there were only male students and so this would be his first real chance to be in one at school. The second Will told them that the musical in question was Rocky Horror, Blaine became torn with a mix of emotions. His first reaction was to join Kurt in his excited chatter of the idea. Naturally Blaine knew and loved the show as much as his boyfriend did. But all it took was a moment to consider how much of the musical's content wouldn't be suitable for high school students to do and he began to doubt the possibility of it actually happening. Rachel cut in and called Will on out on what Blaine had been thinking before he had a chance.
Even with a re-write to the scrip, it just didn't seem possible. Blaine was so caught up in his thoughts that he almost missed the beginning of casting where Rachel volunteered her and Finn to be Brad and Janet.
When Will followed her and suggested Kurt take the lead role of Frank-N-Furter Blaine couldn't help roll his eyes. Of course he could see why Mr. Schue would think Kurt would be the perfect choice for the role, but Blaine wasn't the least bit surprised when Kurt quickly turned down the offer, voicing his protest at the idea of wearing fishnets and high heels.
Blaine had planned to remain quiet until Santana made a side comment and he shot up out of his chair looking at her in disgust. “You're a horrible person sometimes.” he muttered in disbelief.
Kurt's judgemental glare at Santana's softened at Blaine's quick reaction to defend him. So he remained silent and just tugged at Blaine's arm and pulled him back to sit in his chair. “It's okay, sweetie.” Kurt whispered to him and patted his knee lightly.
Of course Kurt knew that Blaine could tell he was far from okay, but he figured Blaine was waiting till they were alone to discuss it. So when they found themselves in the private sanctuary of Blaine's bedroom, Kurt finally let everything that he had been keeping bottle up inside out to deal with.
“I am still pissed about the fact that I was the natural choice for Mr. Schue and let's face it, probably everyone else’s for me to play the transvestite in the musical. When we know it's only because I'm gay.” Kurt blurted out a he began to pace back and forth in front of Blaine's sitting spot on his bed.
“I don't know if that's entirely true, Kurt, I'm mean, I'm gay too after all. But I sure was ready to let Santana have it and this is me talking.” Blaine commented. “Because we both know Santana could probably kick my ass without even trying.” he added with a smirk.
“Yes, we're both gay, Blaine. But don't deny if you asked someone they'd call me the lady in the relationship. Just because I have a hitch pitched voice, dress fabulous and get along better with girls usually. It obviously means that I want to be a girl, or at least dress like one.” Kurt muttered.
“Well those things aside, Kurt, you're also brilliant, witty and courageous, all very manly aspects.”
“That's really sweet, Blaine, but you’re sort of biased here.”
“How about you’re an amazing kisser?” Blaine offered. “Wait, never mind. I don't want you kissing other guys to prove it.”
Blaine watched Kurt's mood lighten a little with his attempts at humour, but it was clear that he still needed to vent. So Blaine just sat there and let him do so, deciding it was what he needed to do get through all his built up anger. It was true for everyone there were times when physical comfort wouldn't do the trick. “I was just glad no one asked me next... because I know I could never pull off dancing in heels.” Blaine replied.
“I mean I know he didn't mean to be offensive when he suggested me and it's not that big of a deal really... It's just I dislike how some people can't seem to understand that while I'm gay, it doesn't mean I want to be or even dress like a woman.” Kurt commented again with a sigh.
“I agree with you totally here, Kurt, but I can't help but point out I think he suggested you for the role more so because of how brave you are. How you could take on a role like that when most of the other guys couldn't. But I'm not gonna lie if I had been offered the part I would have shot it down just as quickly.” Blaine told Kurt.
Kurt finally stopped pacing and came to sit next to Blaine on the bed, resting his head on his shoulder. “I mean, I know my outfit choices can be on the flashier side and I've even called myself an honorary girl before. But I hate how the whole world doesn't get that just because I like guys, doesn't mean I don't want to be one myself. I like guys and that's the whole point!” Kurt blurted out with a smirk.
Blaine saw that Kurt's mood was listening and he wrapped his arms around Kurt's waist and began to nibble on his neck lightly. “Well, I'm glad you like guys.” he muttered.
Kurt laughed as Blaine began to suck on his neck and Kurt gave in and let himself be pulled down on the bed next to his boyfriend. Kurt ran his hand down Blaine's side and just took a deep breath and let it out slowly. “Well, really I just love one guy in particular, and his initials are B.A.” Kurt told him playfully. With his anger over Rocky Horror finally being vented Kurt suddenly remembered about Halloween as his costume idea for them and groaned with annoyance.
“What? I'm being careful, Kurt. I won't end up giving you a hickey.” Blaine suddenly muttered as he looked up at Kurt.
Kurt patted Blaine's head lightly and kissed him, “No, not that. I was just thinking after what happened today in class... that I should maybe veto the Mario costume idea.” he muttered.
“There's really no need-” Blaine began.
“-I know, I know, but still I want to be able to enjoy myself on Halloween. We'll still do Sound of Music though, just let me think about what we could do that would still be fun.”
“I look forward to hearing what it is.” Blaine said.
“I'll let you know the second I have it all figured out.” Kurt told him.
“So can we finish what we started?” Blaine asked as he grinned at Kurt and brought his attention back to Kurt's neck. Kurt just rolled his eyes and began to laugh at Blaine's antics but then Blaine kissed that special spot he knew he liked and Kurt gave a different type of moan.
“Oh god, Blaine... stop doing that.” Kurt hissed.
“But you sound like you like it.” Blaine said as he nipped Kurt's ear slightly, causing him to shiver.
“I like it too much, that's the problem!” Kurt gasped.
Blaine finally realized he was taking things too far and he pulled back to give Kurt a sheepish smile as an apology. He was relieved to see Kurt just shake his head and chuckle at his antics. Ever since the both of them had taken the next step in their relationship, they had been reluctant to talk about it. Considering the success of their relationship had a lot to do with how they always said what was on their mind. It was a little alarming for there to be something neither of them wanted to bring up, even when they had no regrets. Blaine would make himself talk to Kurt about it, he need to focus on getting his own desires in check first. But that was easier said than done when he was trying to resist something as tempting as Kurt Hummel. He wanted Kurt and he knew Kurt wanted him, but when they were ready, it was still too soon to go there. Blaine didn't need to ask Kurt to know that was the truth.
After Kurt realized the pause in their conversation had been too long he searched for something to change the subject. So the awkward atmosphere that was beginning to form would disappear and Kurt finally remembered something that had been bothering him. “I just remembered... Blaine, I know you don't want to be Frank-N-Furter and everything... but I was surprised to see you not to go for any of the other main roles. Like Eddie or the Criminologist for instance, I could see you being either of them.” Kurt explained.
Blaine remained silent for a moment and hesitated, but looking at Kurt's non-judgemental concern made him smile and take hold of his hand, running his fingers over Kurt's knuckles softly. “I wanted to let everyone else get their first choices...” Blaine began, he continued before Kurt could say anything in protest. “I know it's silly... it's just, I'm still the new guy, and I don't want to overstep too much.”
Kurt looked at his boyfriend affectionately, “Blaine, Sam's the newest member of the New Directions now and you didn't see him hesitate to take the role of Rocky, did you? You shouldn't have to take a back seat to everyone else. Worry about yourself for once and take what's rightfully yours! You're amazingly talented, Blaine, and you shouldn't be afraid to show that to the world, especially in glee club. I know the drama over who gets all the solos can get pretty big at times, but all our egos aside... don't you dare take a back step for my sake or anyone's... it's just not you.” Kurt told Blaine warmly.
Blaine just looked at him and smiled, “I know, you're right, Kurt, but honestly I'm fine. I assure you, I won't take a backseat with the New Directions. I'll be fighting all of you for a solo just you wait. It's just I don't want our friendly competition to get out of hand, since it's one of the reasons I transferred.” Blaine pointed out.
“Well the role of Eddie is still up for grabs if you change your mind.” Kurt replied.
“I dunno about that, I didn't take that role for two reasons, Kurt. First off I don't think I like the idea of how ridiculously small I'd look if I sat on a motorcycle. Then secondly considering Eddie is murdered by Frank-N-Furter right after his entrance song, I don't know how Mr. Schue is going to be able to re-write that to be appropriate. So no, I'm good, I think I'm going to take the role of one of the male Transylvanians. It might not be a lead role but I know I can make it my own.” Blaine explained.
Kurt gave a sigh, “If you're sure then I won't press you to go for more. Which only leaves my role to consider.” Kurt began.
“Any idea who you want to be?” Blaine asked him.
Kurt grinned as he leaned against Blaine, resting his head against his chest. “I have actually, I think Riff Raff would be more my style.” he answered.
“Oh you'd make an awesome Riff Raff, Kurt!” Blaine said in agreement.
“Good, that settles that then.” Kurt replied with a smile and pulled Blaine's face down to kiss him.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The following day the remaining parts for the show were all decided on and Kurt and Blaine got the roles they had wanted. With the first step done the second step could begin, which was rehearsal. Practice started out smoothly and Blaine found himself sitting in the choir room watching Kurt rehearse Dammit Janet with Quinn and Mercedes as few days later. As he looked at Kurt's handsome face in his half Riff Raff makeup and outfit it was easy to see Kurt's casting decision was a brilliant one. They went on to rehearse the first few scenes and did two more musical numbers until they were finally finished for the day. Afterwards Blaine and Kurt headed over to the Lima Bean and were just content to sit and relax with their coffees. It was also a nice change for neither of them having any problems or annoyances they needed to vent out, which was rare. So instead they simply enjoyed their time together talking away about a number of things. Neither of them had the energy to go out on a real date so they ended up in Kurt's bedroom alone, which Blaine was quick to notice.
“You know I just realized I haven't seen Finn too much around here lately.” Blaine commented as he looked around the room. “I mean I know he tries to give us space when I'm here but this is too much even for him.” Blaine muttered in concern.
“Oh, don't worry, it's nothing serious, it's just the idea of him having to be in his underwear in the musical has him worried. The answer to this seems to be him spending a lot of extra time at the gym working out.” Kurt explained. “Which is funny because Finn looks fine.”
“Ah yes, funny how the world thinks guys never worry about body image like girls do.” Blaine said in reply.
“But he is being silly about it, Blaine, you gotta admit that.” Kurt muttered.
“Sure...” Blaine said teasingly.
“However, I already know that you look far more amazing, Blaine.” Kurt told him with a smirk.
“Thanks, athough I think you're a bit biased with your decision.”
“Yes, well that aside, I've seen you shirtless, you have nothing to worry about, cutie.” Kurt
“Same goes for you, handsome. But I gotta admit I sort of like the idea that I'm the only one who really knows that.” Blaine told Kurt as he snuggled up to him on the couch. But he saw Kurt glare at him and he suddenly realized what he had just said. “Oh god, sorry! I just mean I'm the only one who gets to see you with your shirt off!” Blaine quickly blurted out.
Kurt poked him in the sides playfully and moved out of Blaine's reach. “Well you used to be, now I'm not so sure.” he teased.
“Come on, Kurt... I said I was sorry, shouldn't you be happy that this proves I'm not perfect?” Blaine begged as he held his arms out to Kurt and gave him puppy dog eyes.
Kurt sighed and pushed Blaine down on the couch and came to hover over him. “Good thing you're cute.” he muttered and began to kiss his lips and trailed down to his collarbone.
“I mean anyone can tell your body looks amazing, even with all those layers of clothing.” Blaine said as he wrapped his arms around Kurt's waist.
“Hmmm? Nice save, hot shot.” Kurt chuckled.
“Hey! It got you kissing me....”
“That's not that hard.” Kurt pointed out.
“Give it a minute.” Blaine said with a laugh.
That lewd comment made Kurt laugh and pull up and the two of them fought to get back under control from their hysteria. Kurt decided to bring things back to a safer topic, or at least try to. “I know I rarely show any skin but it's not because I'm self-conscious about how my body looks. I am just too into men’s fashion and all the layers it entails.”
Blaine eyed Kurt and the clothing he was currently wearing, which was a undershirt, long sleeved shirt and a form fitting vest, topped off with a cardigan. “Don't I know it?” Blaine blurted out and he began to unbutton Kurt's cardigan carefully. “In fact...” Blaine began as he began to kiss Kurt exposed neck. “How's about I remove a few of them right now?” he muttered seductively.
Kurt eyed him and brought his arms to wrap around Blaine's neck, “I guess it would be safe to lose just one layer.” Kurt agreed as he let Blaine peel the cardigan off. With the cardigan gone Blaine relented and pulled Kurt back down on top of him. As they fought to get comfortable with their legs tangled together. As soon as they got comfortable their kissing continued and it quickly became clear to the both of them that one layer removal wasn't good enough.
“Or two...” Kurt murmured as Blaine kissed his neck. Oh how he loved when Blaine did this, it might have something to do with their different in height. But ever since they had shared their first kiss Blaine had found the pleasure of Kurt's neck with his lips, which was something they both enjoyed. Even if the first time someone had discovered the hickeys that resulted most of the time had been embarrassing. At the moment, all he was doing was cursing his love of layers. “Or three...” He moaned.
Blaine laughed until Kurt kissed him so deeply he was rendered speechless. They hadn't allowed themselves to get this hot and bothered since he had spent the night. They both knew it could get dangerous but their brains weren't thinking anyone, something lower placed and more demanding had taken over their common sense. “Kurt...” Blaine moaned in warning.
“I know, the pants are staying on, Blaine, don't worry.” Kurt assured him as he finished taking off his vest and over-shirt. “But that doesn't mean we can't make this even.” he purred and tugged at Blaine's own sweater vest and it soon was added to growing pile of clothes on the floor beside them.
Blaine stared at Kurt's stunning frame as he helped him out of his shirt and pulled his face close for a long kiss. “You are so hot... and I'm so lucky you're mine.” he growled.
“Yes, I'm yours. And you're all mine, Blaine. We're so many things to each another.” Kurt agreed.
“Except full lovers, which is what we want, right?” Blaine breathed.
“As much as my cock would like to say otherwise, yes, it's what we want, Blaine. We don't want to ruin our first time by going too fast or not thinking of the consequences. But just because we feel that way doesn't mean we can't pleasure one another. Just kissing can be quiet... fun... as we both know.” Kurt told him.
“I'm so lucky.” Blaine muttered as he ran his hand up Kurt's shirt and caressed the hidden bare skin.
Kurt looked down at Blaine with desire, saying they wanted to take things slow was one thing, doing it was another.
“Oh, screw this!” Kurt blurted out as stripped off his under shirt and threw it onto the floor.
“What?!” Blaine shouted.
“Screw the last layer... not you, Blaine.” Kurt said with a smirk.
“Okay good, because yeah... don't tempt me.” Blaine warned.
“I won't, New Directions honour.” Kurt whispered.
As stupid as they knew it was to continue neither of them wanted to stop, after all it wasn't like they hadn't made out this heavily before. Only the last time they had they had made each other come and it was hard not to go that far this time. But they managed to keep their libidos and their cocks in check as they sprawled out on the couch in their half-naked embrace. There were still plenty of stimulating things you could do with keeping your hands above the waist after all.
Kurt figured this had to be a way to boost their views on body image by appreciating each other’s bodies. But as hot as things were going they were careful to let things get to out of control. There were too many risks in them taking another go at frottage, the biggest being there was too much of a chance of someone walking in on them. This, coincidentally, was exactly what happened when Finn opened the door upstairs. Kurt and Blaine had been too focused on each other's lips to notice at first. But eventually they heard the heavy footsteps that could only be Finn and they froze.
“Oh god, that's Finn!” Kurt shouted as he shot up from the couch. “Where are our shirts?”
“Our vests are right here but the shirts... there they are!” Blaine blurted out as he pointed to them a few feet away.
Kurt made a dive for them with lighting speed, but it was too late. Kurt had only managed to toss Blaine his shirt when he came face to face with Finn, only he didn't looked surprised, his expression was totally blank.
Kurt stood back up and looked at Finn, he wasn't sure what to say to him. “Finn, sorry!” Kurt muttered as he felt himself begin to blush. He didn't feel insecure about Finn seeing him with his shirt off, since there was nothing sexual about it. What embarrassed him was that Finn must have seen what him and Blaine doing a moment ago. Even if they hadn't been having actual sex, it didn't make Kurt feel any better.
Blaine at the same time had quickly put his shirt on and remained silent, Finn had walked in on them half a dozen times before. But this time it was different and not just because they had been shirtless. It was if the universe had sent them a reminded that taking things slow was the right idea. But it could have been worse, it could have been Burt.
“Never mind, dude.” Finn finally said and he simply staggered over to his side of the room and disappeared behind the wall divider without another word.
Kurt pulled his shirt over his head and glanced over at Blaine, who only shrugged. “What was that about?”
“I have no idea, but something’s up with him and I don't think we're the cause.” Blaine pointed out.
Kurt swore under his breath and decided he needed to find out what was wrong, just to be sure. “Finn, I'm coming in okay?” he called out but didn't bother to wait for an answer. He opened the door on the divider and poked his head into Finn's side of the room.
“Just before you jump to any conclusions... nothing... serious was happening a second ago.” Kurt began to ramble in embarrassment. “Never the less, I'm sorry about it because it's still not on purpose.” Kurt muttered.
“No, it's fine. I mean, no, it wasn't fine. But I didn't really see anything...” Finn struggled but he ended up getting tongue tied and sighed. “I mean it's not weird to see you shirtless, I see guys with theirs off in the locker room and stuff. The problem is all this crap about me having to be in my underwear for the show, I can't get it out of my head! Now all I seem to notice is how everyone else is fitter than me. Even you.” Finn began but he realized what he was saying and brought his hand to cover his face. “Sorry I didn't mean it like that.” he groaned.
“It's okay, Finn. I get what you meant.” Kurt simply assured him, he was just relieved Finn wasn't focusing on having just seen him and Blaine in a half-naked embrace.
“Finn, you have nothing to worry about. Just focus on the singing and the rest will come together.” Blaine said as he poked his head into the room.
“I mean look at yourself here, you're so wound up about this whole body image ordeal. You weren't even fazed by what you just saw Blaine and I doing!” Kurt blurted out before even thinking.
Finn froze and gave Kurt a confused look, “Wait, what were you doing...?” Finn asked.
Kurt's face turned bright red as he stood there feeling totally embarrassed because it turned out that Finn really hadn't noticed them on the couch at all. Making Kurt want to nothing but go run off into hiding, but when he looked over at Blaine he saw his boyfriend's reaction had been to burst out in a fit of barely controlled laughter.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Blaine apparently found the whole thing amusing so he was still laughing about it when Kurt called him later that night. Kurt he narrowed his eyes at the sound of his muffled laughter through the phone.
“Blaine it wasn't that funny.” he hissed.
Blaine made himself get his laughing under control, “I'm sorry... I'll be good now, I swear.”
“You better be or I won't tell you what I came up with for our costumes.” Kurt warned him.
“Then I'll be really good now, tell me!”
“I thought we could use some irony to make things amusing. I'll be Captain George Von Trapp and you can be Max Detweiler.” Kurt suggested.
“I'm not sure if that's ironic, but I like it! But are you sure it's not too boring?” Blaine asked.
“I'm not all flair and being fabulous, Blaine, it's something we can wear to school and still enjoy. Or don't you want to be my best friend for Halloween that many fans of the movie thought might be gay?” Kurt teased.
“Kurt honey, it will work just fine. We are best friends as well as boyfriends, after all. I just don't think anyone will wonder if I'm gay... or not for long.”
“Let's not worry about anyone else, I know it's not very brave and everything...”
“Kurt, just stop, it's not much different from your Mario idea really, it's not like you ever planned to go as Maria and if you did, who cares. This is Halloween... not an audience with the Queen.”
“Oh, how I love you, Blaine Anderson.” Kurt said lovingly.
“So let's go for it then! Also, it means I'll get to wear a full suit in class.” Blaine said.
“You're right, let's go for it.” Kurt agreed.
“So that just leaves what we want to do for Halloween night after school.” Blaine muttered as he began to think of what they could do.
“Actually I hate to admit our options will be somewhat limited. I offered to be the one to answer the door to give out candy for Halloween, my Dad needs to rest still and Carole should focus on looking after him that night. I'm sorry... I know how fun it would be to go trick-or-treating together...” Kurt admitted.
“Oh Kurt don't apologize! I'm sure we can still do something even if we have to stay inside... wait, I’ve got it! We can have our own Sound of Music Sing-a-Long! Right in your living room.” Blaine blurted out with excitement.
“That could work, Blaine, of course we'll probably have to stop a lot to answer the door for all the trick or treaters. But that will just make things more exciting.” Kurt replied.
“Either way we'll get candy.” Blaine added with a laugh.
“Just save some for the kids, Blaine.” __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The drama turned out to be far from over when the New Directions were treated to hearing Carl the dentist sing a song from Rocky Horror as his audition to take the role of Eddie. Everyone enjoyed the performance a lot; even Blaine and Kurt didn't hesitate to join the others to sing along. Everyone had to agree Carl was killing his audition and they were all enjoying the performance. Everyone except Mr. Schuester, who only scowled at Carl in disbelief but no one bothered to notice.
Kurt saw that Blaine was really getting into it, like he did for almost any song they sang in Glee Club. So it was no surprise to Kurt when Blaine quickly joined Mike Chang as he got up to dance with Carl. Kurt laughed at his boyfriend’s antics as some of the others hurried to join them. Kurt had been considering to follow their lead but Blaine came up and held his hand out to Kurt before he had the chance. Smiling playfully, Kurt took hold of Blaine's hand and let him be pulled down to dance with Blaine. The two of them danced and bopped along to the beat and Blaine twirled Kurt around at one point until he laughed. When the song finished the both of them clapped happily until Sue unleaded her rage on everyone to stop their merriment.
The tension continued to rise between Carl and Will until Mercedes stepped up to interrupt their impending quarrel with the news that she wanted to play Frank-n-Further, this made Kurt and Blaine begin to cheer once she ended up getting her way. Mercedes's came over to where they were and took a small bow.
“Okay boys, I could use some help in designing my costume, are you up to the challenge?” She asked them with a smirk.
“Ready, willing, and able, Mercedes.” Kurt replied.
The three of them headed over to Mercedes' house after school to celebrate her getting the lead, topped off with a cake and everything, which Blaine had insisted on stopping to buy. But Kurt had been far too focused on designing Mercedes’ outfit to take notice of other things, on their drive to get the cake and to go to Mercedes' house he had been deep in thought. Blaine found it adorable and left him to his work. As soon as they stepped inside Kurt sat down at the kitchen table and brought out a notebook to begin sketching on. Blaine handed Mercedes a piece of cake and came to join her and Kurt at her kitchen table. He glanced over a Kurt who so far had ignored his piece of cake in favour of working still. Blaine chuckled as he watched Kurt as he was busily sketching a few design ideas.
“Now this is a version of Frank n Further I can get excited about.” Kurt said happily as he scribbled away in his note book, his mind full of ideas.
“Yeah, it's a great idea for you to take the role, Mercedes. With your voice and attitude I don't think anyone is better suited.” Blaine said.
“Oh, you both know it, while you're drawing away, Kurt, feel free to use your artistic license and change it up a bit.” Mercedes told Kurt.
Kurt only nodded in response and didn't bother to look up as he continued to draw. Finally when Kurt was happy with his results he put his pencil down. “Done!” he said happily and handed Mercedes's the paper as he allowed himself to start eating his piece of cake, like it was a reward for his hard work.
Blaine leaned in closer beside Mercedes so that he could see the sketch as well and grinned. Kurt's outfit design certainly had captured the main idea of Frank-n-Furter but overall, it was quite different, but in a way that it worked well for Mercedes. The heels and fishnet stockings that Kurt had protested so much about were now replaced with a long pair of thigh boots, while the original corset had been had been turned into a corset and skirt combo.
Kurt watched their expressions as Mercedes and Blaine looked at his sketch and grinned at the as he took another bite of his cake. “I took everything into consideration, and thought this would be the best direction to go. Because, let's face it, fishnets and heels are just cruel to anyone who has to dance through a whole musical. I thought we could top it off with a luxurious caplet for the opening scene. What do you think, Mercedes?” Kurt asked anxiously.
“I think the audience won't know what hit them.” Mercedes replied with a grin. “It's perfect, Kurt.”
“Excellent! I'll send an e-mail to Miss Pillsbury right now for her approval. The beauty of it is we really won't even have to make it from scratch either. I'm sure if we take a shopping trip tomorrow was can find everything we'll need. I am hoping we won't have to modify much to make it work for rocky horror as well.” Kurt explained.
“I can't wait until our dress rehearsal now!” Blaine said in excitement. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The dress rehearsal ended up starting out being simple and enjoyable for all, until in usual glee club fashion, it all came apart. The cause of it all was when Carl suddenly burst through the prop wall as Eddie on his bike too early. What followed was yet another one of Will and Carl's power battles over each other and their feelings for Emma. Which naturally caused the whole show to blow up and the rehearsal quickly was over for the day as a result.
Kurt and Blaine headed off to the Lima Bean once they were free and began to discuss the day’s events once they were seated at their usual table.
“I'm starting to think that Mr. Schue didn't have our best interests in mind when he decided for us to do Rocky Horror.” Kurt muttered.
“I agree, I mean, I love the musical but my first thoughts were that it's not meant for high school students to perform.” Blaine said in agreement.
“Oh I dunno, I, for one, would have loved it if I could have sung Touch-a touch-a touch Me with you.” Kurt replied playfully.
Blaine, who had been taking a drink of his coffee suddenly began to choke in response, causing him to begin to cough away. He somehow managed to thank Kurt as he came over to pat his shoulder lightly as he fought to breath. When he finally was able to get his breathing back under control he let out an awkward laugh as Kurt returned to his seat. “Oh god, I wouldn't want other people to see that!” he blurted out.
“Not when just thinking about it almost killed you!” Kurt replied with a laugh. “But I after that reaction I see your point. It's not something that we'd want an audience for, considering the sexual energy of that song. God, this production could end up turning out very wrong at this rate.” Kurt muttered.
Blaine smiled warmly at Kurt and he reached out to take hold of his hand over the table. “But I can't help but hope it does work out somehow, I really want to see you as Riff Raff, Kurt. So I have a hunch that things will work out in the end, somehow.”
“At least we have Halloween to look forward to first.” Kurt replied with a smile. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The signs of it being Halloween at McKinley High became clear the moment you stepped into the building and were greeted with an assortment of ghosts, vampires and other costume clad teenagers. Blaine and Kurt soon joined the masses as they strolled down the hallways side by side in their own costumes for the day. Mercedes, who had naturally decided to dress up as Beyonce saw the pair heading in her direction and she rolled her eyes at them, though it was affectionately.
“And who in the world are you two supposed to be?” Mercedes asked as they walked up to her.
“We'll give you a hint.” Kurt said with a grin and then he and Blaine broke out into a song and dance routine from the movie, the song being, Do-Re-Mi.
“Okay, I get that you're from Sound of Music or something, just who are you supposed to be from it?” Mercedes asked again.
“Isn't it obvious? I am Captain George Von Trapp and...” Kurt said as he gestured to Blaine.
“I am his best friend, Max.” Blaine said and took a small bow.
“And it's easy to see you are the queen of the divas, Miss Beyonce herself! Nicely done, Mercedes.” Kurt told her with a wink.
Kurt was surprised but relieved that the day went by without any issues for him or Blaine. He could only guess Karofsky and the other bullies had better things to do on Halloween than make a few snide remarks that would only ended up falling flat. As fun as it was to see everyone in their costumes, even Halloween didn't end up stopping their need to rehearse in Glee club. After spending the entire class working on Rocky Horror, everyone was dead tired when the school day was finally over.
Kurt was actually glad that Blaine and him hadn't made any big plans. So spending the night cuddling on the coach while they watched movies was the perfect way to follow up a tiring day of singing and dancing. Kurt checked to make sure his costume was holding up and once he was satisfied it was he headed off to the living room to wait for Blaine to arrive.
“Why don't we look cute?” Carole said as she walked into the living room.
Kurt turned and smiled at her, “Why, thank you, Carole.” he said in reply. “How's Dad doing?”
“Oh, he's alright, the amount of complaining he's doing about staying in bed is proof enough how strong he's getting. I have the candy all ready for you to hand out tonight by the door.” Carole explained.
Kurt went to reply when he heard the doorbell ring and grinned because Blaine had finally arrived. He excused himself to Carole and quickly hurried to open the door and could barely believe what he saw in front of him. It was Blaine, no longer in his Max costume but now wearing one of the German Outfits the Van Tropp kids wore during one point in the film. All Kurt could do was to burst out laughing, “Blaine, what have you done?”
“I thought this costume would be far more fun! Because I understand we had to be a lot more low key at school. I figured at least tonight I could be a bit braver. Not that I didn't enjoy being Max, too. I just couldn't resist it. Though I did consider being a Nazi for a split second but I realized that would have been very wrong. So I decided to be Kurt from the Sound of Music instead.” Blaine replied with a grin.
“I think you look adorable, Blaine.” Carole called as she poked her head into the hallway.
“Yes, very cute, but you realize this makes me your son...” Kurt pointed out.
“Oh yeah, good thing it's only make believe then, huh?” Blaine replied with a cheeky smile as he walked inside.
Halloween was a very fun night for the both of them. It was filled with them cuddling together as they watched Sound of Music, singing along to every song. Throughout the movie they had to stop to answer the door and give out candy. But that had only made things more fun as Kurt got to watch how Blaine reacted to the kids. Just as he guessed it was hard to tell who were the actual kids and that made Kurt laugh a lot.
“You are a fool at times, but a handsome one.” Kurt told him as he closed the front door and turned the outsides lights off. It was late so the last few kids had made their rounds and Kurt was almost dangerously out of candy. Of course that wasn't a surprise considering how much Blaine had eaten himself- which probably was part of the reason for his hyper mood he was in right now.
“Are you going to be able to drive home safely with this much sugar in your system?” Kurt asked with a laugh.
“Well, you could help me deal with all of this energy.” Blaine said playfully.
“I don't think that's a wise idea there, kid.” Burt said as he walked into the room.
Blaine's smile on his face quickly fell to sheer worry and embarrassment and Kurt forced himself not to laugh.
“I see Carole let you free?” Kurt asked him.
“I pointed out it would be pretty hard to get my strength back if my muscles end up getting too lazy.” Burt replied. “Be lucky I don't have enough of it to chase you around the room Blaine, because I bet that would tire you out real quick.” Burt said as he went to the fridge to get a bottle of water.
Even though Blaine was pretty sure Burt was just messing with his head, he could only convince himself enough to give an awkward laugh in reply as he flashed Kurt a scared look.
“Dad, stop scaring Blaine and head back to bed!” Kurt blurted out.
After Burt slowly made his way back to his bedroom, Kurt just shook his head and went over to where Blaine was. “Honestly, that was a good sign that he's recovering.” he replied with a smirk. “Did you bring a change of clothes or are you driving home like that?” Kurt asked him.
“Oh it's Halloween night so I won't look that strange. Walk me to my car?”
Kurt nodded and offered his arm to Blaine who didn't hesitate to take it and they strolled out to the parking lot whistling away. He realized it they probably looked quite odd considering what they were wearing, despite it being Halloween, but Kurt simply didn't care. So he leaned in and gave Blaine a quick kiss on the mouth. Even when Kurt was aware he was currently dressed up as Blaine’s son, he still found his boyfriend irresistible as always.

Monday morning brought the disappointing news of the musical being cancelled which put everyone in a depressed mood. Blaine included, although he had thought from the beginning that the musical wasn't suitable, he still wanted to perform it. But no one had any time to mourn the loss when Will continued to tell them they would still do the musical, only now for themselves.
“I'm glad to hear that and if it's okay for me to suggest Mr. Schue, maybe we should shift things around a bit to make it a better fit for us?” Blaine suggested.
“I think that's a great idea, Blaine, let's give everyone a chance to say their ideas.” Will replied in agreement.
Kurt ended up having an idea of his own to surprise Blaine with after class that day. When Blaine ended up getting led back to the choir room by Kurt. He watched as Kurt came to sit at the piano and began to play Superheroes from the Rocky Horror Picture Show and Blaine walked over to lean on the piano.
“And what is my handsome boyfriend up to?” Blaine asked Kurt playfully.
“Oh, I just really want to hear you sing a song from the show. Care to make my wish come true?” Kurt replied as he continued to play.
Blaine chuckled lightly, “Like I could ever say no to you, Kurt.” he replied and he started to sing Brad's part of the song. While singing he looked over at Kurt who smiled at him lovingly and Blaine came to sit on the piano beside him. When it switched to Janet's verse Blaine took over playing the piano and Kurt stood up to begin to take his turn sing.
At the end Blaine ended up on the fly doing the Criminologist's spoken part at the end and Kurt joined in on the final backup vocals. When the song was done Kurt returned to the piano and came to sit on Blaine's lap as they rested their foreheads together. “Told you you'd make a wonderful Criminologist Blaine.” he said softly
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
One of the changes to the show resulted in Blaine now being dressed as the Criminologist as he watched Kurt put the finishing touches on his Riff Raff costume. Blaine had kept his promise to Kurt and had graciously accepted Mr. Schuester's offer for him to take over the role. He knew the idea probably had been Kurt's but that only made him adore his boyfriend even more. At the moment Kurt was causing him to be very confused. Because he couldn't decide if the costume made Blaine scared or slightly turned on by Kurt's appearance, especially as far as his partially bald head was concerned.
When Kurt was finished getting ready he walked over to Blaine's side. “I knew you'd look all dapper and handsome in that outfit.” Kurt told him playfully.
“You look amazing yourself. I honestly have no idea if I should be afraid or turned on right now.” Blaine said as he pointed to Kurt's hair.
Kurt laughed and came up to rub his shoulders lightly, “Come on, I can't wait to sing the Time Warp together.” Kurt told him and headed out onto the stage.
Blaine simply smiled and followed him as he thought how he had been right, everything had turned out okay in the end.
