Kurt had already been well aware that not all one’ s dreams came true, even before this Bryan Ryan had come to talk to them at Glee Club. But Kurt also knew that none of his dreams would even get the chance to become a reality if you were too afraid to try. If you wanted all your hopes and dreams to happen then you needed to work for it. When Bryan Ryan had asked them all to write their biggest dream on a piece of paper, at first he wasn’t sure what to write. Because Kurt had a number of dreams, like singing on Broadway, leaving Lima behind and all of them were important to him. So he decided to just include them all by writing ‘Be Someone’, which contemplated many possibilities: Kurt wanted to be an actor, a Broadway star, someone successful. But at the moment on a far lighter note all Kurt wanted to be was Blaine Anderson’s boyfriend. This dream didn’t diminish his other ones, nor did it make his desire for them to come true lessen, but most were well off into the future. The dream of dating Blaine was happening right now and Kurt was almost afraid to believe it could possibly come true. He had felt it, something new but right between him and Blaine when they had held each other last week. Then there was the look between them after Kurt had admitted he was glad that Blaine was in his life. There had been no words, no confirmation that something more could be there. But Blaine’s look, that look on his face after Kurt had told him, said so much more than words ever could. Kurt could still remember how amazing it felt to hold Blaine in his arms, his warm breath on his neck. He hadn’t wanted to let go of him and it was hard not to declare his love right there and then. Kurt wasn’t sure what his next step concerning Blaine would be. But what he did know was he didn’t care what anyone told him, he would make all his dreams come true.
___________________________________________________________________

Mercedes and Kurt had decided they needed a pick-me-up after how bumped Bryan Ryan made everyone in Glee Club that day. Kurt’s usual choice for a pick-me-up was for them to drown their sorrows at the mall, shopping healed most wounds for him, or the superficial ones anyway. But his mind was still so full of Blaine that even shopping couldn’t distract him. As he fingered the racks of clothing at a store in the mall, his mind began to wander once again. It wasn’t like Blaine was avoiding him, they still talked and hung out like they usually did. But he swore something had changed between them, especially in Blaine. He seemed different somehow, sometimes Kurt would catch Blaine looking at him and those looks had made him wonder. Could Blaine possibly feel the same way that Kurt felt about Blaine? It seemed so impossible.

“Kurt? Hello? Are you even listening to me?” Mercedes asked again.

Kurt broke free of his thoughts and turned to look at her, she was holding up a shirt and it was obvious she had asked him his opinion on it and more than once. He sighed and decided there was no use in denying his mind had been elsewhere. “Sorry Mercedes, I wasn’t listening.” he muttered with a sheepish smile.

Mercedes rolled her eyes as she put the shirt back on the rack. “Yeah I figured.” she replied. But her annoyed face changed to concern. “What’s up with you? You’ve been even more spacey than usual. Did that Bryan Ryan guy really get to you that bad?” she asked.

Kurt shook his head with a shy smile, if he wanted to figure things out Kurt realized talking to Mercedes about it would probably help. “No it’s Blaine.” he admitted.

“Why am I not surprised! Come on, let’s go get something to eat and you can tell me all about it.” Mercedes said as she linked her arm with Kurt’s and lead him away to the food court. Once they were comfortably seated with their meals in front of them, Mercedes urged him to tell her what was bothering him.

“So what’s going on with Blaine? Because if I recall you told me the two of you made up.” Mercedes pointed out.

“We did... it’s just ever since then... things have felt sort of different.” Kurt told her.

“Different as in a good way different?” Mercedes asked.

Kurt nodded, “I think so... I’m just not sure if I’m brave enough to find out.” Kurt added with a sigh.

“The real question here is do you want things to be different?”

Kurt rolled his eyes, “Well of course! I am hopelessly in love with him, remember?” Kurt muttered.

“Then that’s your answer Kurt, so fess up and face him. Because you’re never going to find out one way or the other if you don’t get some courage.” Mercedes suggested.

“It’s still easier said than done, what if I’m wrong? What if I made it all up in my head? What if me confessing my feelings just makes things too awkward for us to recover...?” Kurt began to mumble weakly.

“Kurt, this is Blaine, remember? Okay I wasn’t going to say anything because it’s none of my business but you need a wake up call. Blaine’s crazy about you, Kurt, he might not realize it and you clearly don’t, but believe me, it’s not all just in your head.” Mercedes told him.

Kurt almost ended up choking on his drink and began to cough and try to breath again and recover from the shock. “What? Are you serious?” he blurted out.

“Oh god you two are so clueless! Yes I’m sure, but why don’t you go find out for yourself? Look, the perfect moment will arise, just be patient. Until then just do what you two are doing, being adorable together. But if you really find yourself needing to know the answer now, maybe go surprise him him at Dalton? Just go to talk and see how it goes from there. You always tell me how honest you are with each other, so maybe it’s time to fess up?” Mercedes said.

Kurt smiled at Mercedes with gratitude, because she was telling him exactly what he needed to hear. “You’re right, nothings going to happen if I just sit here and continue to wonder. I need to act, thank you Mercedes.” Kurt told her.

“Just remember to invite me to the wedding.” Mercedes teased.

Kurt glared at her but began to chuckle, “Don’t you start with the teasing already! At least wait to see if we start dating.” he warned.

Mercedes smiled at him warmly, “Look at us here, talking about you liking a boy. My little baby is all grown up.” she told him.

Kurt rolled his eyes at her and took a bite of his meal, “Oh hush.” he replied.
_____________________________________________________________________

The next day Kurt didn’t let his mind stop him anymore as he found himself once again walking down the gilded hallways of Dalton Academy. Unlike the last time Kurt didn’t have a uniform to fully blend in so he had tried to stand out less with his outfit choice by choosing to wear a long black jacket that his his shirt underneath and he topped it all off with a pair of grey pants. They weren’t as loose fighting as Dalton’s uniform were, but it would have to do. After all Kurt wasn’t spying on the Warblers, he had a legitimate reason to be there, to see Blaine. He had researched a bit before heading over and he had found out where the Warblers tended to hang out between and after class. Kurt had timed his entrance perfectly so he knew Blaine was finished with Warbler practice. He knew Blaine wouldn’t have had time to head over to the Lima Bean just yet and he finally found him in a room full of empty tables. Kurt gave a silent sigh of relief that they were alone and he hoped that was a sign. Blaine seemed to be studying at a table, so he wasn’t aware of Kurt’s arrival. “And what do we have here? looks like I’ve found a Warbler.” Kurt told Blaine.

Blaine looked up in surprise from hearing his voice and greeted him with a warm smile. “Kurt, what a pleasant surprise! What are you doing here? Because I know I’m not late to meet up with you.” He asked. Blaine was happy to see him but he couldn’t ignore how ironic it was that Kurt had shown up when he was busy thinking about how he could tell him his feelings. He had been writing the various ideas that had come to mind in his notebook so he quickly closed it shut.

“I’ m here to see you of course. Or was this a bad idea? You won’t get in trouble or anything?” Kurt asked looking around.

“Naw, no ones around here anyway, so come sit.” Blaine said gesturing to the chair beside him. Blaine had known the minute Kurt had appeared that he couldn’t let a perfect opportunity like this to pass him by. All he needed was the perfect moment to change the subject. “What’s up?”

Kurt took a seat down beside Blaine and fought the urge to give Blaine the real answer to the question. ‘Oh nothing, I just want you to be my boyfriend.’ he thought to himself. He decided that that would be too out of the blue so he went with his second option, which was still the truth. “I came to see if I was just imagining things, I was afraid despite our heartfelt apology the a few nights ago, that deep down you might still be mad at me.” Kurt admitted softly.

Blaine just looked at Kurt like he was the most wonderful boy in the world. Which he was, as far as Blaine was concerned. “No, I am most certainly not mad at you, Kurt.” he assured him.

Kurt paused; despite his talk with Mercedes he couldn’t help but think he had imagined it all. But the rewards were too good for him to toss his hunch aside. Instead Kurt knew he just had to come right out and ask Blaine for the truth. “Then what’s going on between us, Blaine?” He asked honestly.

Blaine could only stare at Kurt for a moment. This was it: this was the moment he had been waiting for. He wouldn’t get a better chance than this and Blaine had to take it. Because if Kurt was asking then there was a good chance they were on the same page. “Truthfully? We both know there’s something there... between us, I mean... something new...” Blaine began.

“So I wasn’t just imagining it?” Kurt asked softly.

Blaine shook his head as he smiled at Kurt shyly. “No, there’s something different. So I’ll explain how this came to be for me. Back when we were fighting, I actually showed up at McKinley to apologize to you... but you had just finished talking with your dad and you stormed off singing. Mercedes showed me to the Auditorium and I went to the balcony and I saw you. You, back to your old fashionista self on the stage, singing your heart out and something changed inside me. No... that’s not exactly true, something changed in me so I could admit what had been there all along. I left when your dad showed up by the way, so I didn’t overhear any of that.” Blaine began to mutter. He allowed himself to look over at Kurt and saw the surprise and delight on his face and he found the strength to continue. Using what he had been practising him his head over and over all morning.

“Please don’t stop Blaine, please.” Kurt urged.

Blaine smiled warmly at Kurt and nodded, there was no turning back now. “Kurt there is a moment, when you say to yourself. ‘Oh there you are, I’ve been looking for you forever.’” Blaine began, but he stopped to shift closer and take hold of Kurt’s hand in his as his thumb began to stroke his hand softly. “Watching you sing Rose’s Turn this week, that was a moment for me, about you...” It was hard to keep going, but all Blaine had to do was look at Kurt’s beautiful face and he went on. “You move me, Kurt... seeing you on that stage made me finally realize how much you mean to me, how I really feel and what I truly want... how much I...” Blaine began but he started to stumble over his words. Blaine didn’t want to say he loved him, not that he didn’t think he really did, it was just too big of a step to take at that moment.

Kurt could barely believe what Blaine was telling him was real and it was actually happening in front of him. Here was Blaine, the boy he was in love with, telling him basically that he felt the same way. It was the scenario that Kurt would have never believed could happen to him, or at least not this so soon in his teenage life. But it was real and when Kurt finally acted it and all the joy it brought forward, he couldn’t take it anymore. He simply leaned over, grabbed onto Blaine’s tie and pulled his face close, so their lips were mere inches apart. “Just shut up and kiss me.” he hissed and brought their lips together before Blaine could react.

What happened next was something the both of them had been dreaming of. The sheer need and urgency pulled at them both and pushed them forward, sending any doubt away. Blaine recovered quickly from the unexpected kiss and met his pace, it was tender and wonderful all at once. No mattered how amazing they had imagined their first kiss would be, nothing could prepare them. It felt nothing like the time Kurt had kissed Brittany, this was so amazing and intoxicating and Kurt never wanted the feeling to go away. Time seemed to stop as their lips caressed one another and Kurt brought his hand up to cup Blaine’s cheek. Blaine opened Kurt’s mouth slightly with his own and their tongues whirled together, until they finally needed to come up for air and Blaine pulled away.

At first neither of them could look at each other, it was still difficult to process anything after such an amazing first kiss. But if they had been looking at each other the surprise and delight of just how good the kiss was would be easy to read on their faces. Blaine slumped back into his chair as Kurt’s eyes darted around in thought. Blaine glanced at Kurt bashfully and he couldn’t resist looking at his mouth, he was still on high from them having actually kissed. “Wow... that was... really good...” he muttered as a big smile spread across his face.

Kurt glanced at Blaine, he was smiling just as much. “Yeah tell me about it.” he commented.

When the two of them finally looked directly at each other, when their eyes met neither of them could hold their desire back anymore. They both rose up from their chairs almost in unison and they rushed together and their lips met with a demanding passion. Neither of them knew where their hands should go and Blaine’s hand brushed Kurt’s as he brought it up to touch Blaine’s face again. This kiss was far less chaste and tender and far more demanding, neither one of them holding anything back. That second kiss turned into a number of kisses, all more wonderful than the previous. As with their first kiss time seemed to stop in the room as they explored each other’ s mouths. Nothing mattered to them except how amazing their lips felt together.

Finally they managed to pull apart long enough to breath and Kurt noticed Blaine’s arm around his waist. Blaine suddenly got embarrassed at his forwardness and let go. Kurt quickly brought his arms to wrap around his shoulders to assure him he hadn’t overstepped and kissed him one last time. Kurt smiled and brought his forehead to rest against Blaine’s as he gave a content sigh. “So the question is now, is this real or is it all just a dream?” Kurt asked softly.

Blaine laughed as he pulled back slightly and brought his hands back around Kurt’s waist. He kissed the corner of Kurt’s mouth softly. “Oh trust me this is real, no dream could be this good.” he declared happily.

Kurt chuckled lightly and moved his head away from Blaine so he could touch the side of his face and look into his eyes. “What was I thinking, you’re right of course. This is real Blaine, it happened and I am so glad.” Kurt told him softly. Kurt felt like he could stare into Blaine’s eyes forever, but he had other things in mind, even when they were at school. “Only I’m not really sure what to do next...” he admitted shyly.

“We could get more comfortable?” Blaine suggested, “The couches in the Warblers' choir room are surprisingly comfy.”

Kurt eyes widened in surprise but he wasn’t objecting to the idea, instead he gave Blaine another quick kiss. He had a feeling it was going to be very hard to stop kissing Blaine at every moment from now on, not that he was complaining. “Would that be wise? Do you want anyone discovering us all comfy and you’d have to explain things?” Kurt asked him.

“No, Warbler practice was cut short and no one’ s still around. Too many of us have sport events and such.” Blaine explained.

“So you’re calling this a sport?” Kurt asked with a laugh.

Blaine’s response was to laugh and give him another long kiss, it still felt crazy that now he could kiss Kurt whenever he wanted to . But he also knew they’d have to talk eventually, but not till much later. As much as Blaine wanted to keep kissing Kurt, he didn’t want them to part before what he wanted was made clear and what he wanted was to be Kurt’s boyfriend. “If it is... I like sports a lot right now.” he muttered. “So are you up to some reclining?”

Kurt let out a small laugh, “I’m game if you are.” he answered.

Blaine snapped into action and the pair reluctantly pulled apart and Blaine took hold of Kurt’s hand a second later and lead him into the Warbler’s choir room. Once there he scanned the room and brought them to the nearest couch and sat down, pulling Kurt forward to sit down beside him. They smiled bashfully at one another as neither of them was sure what to do next. But they got past their bashful hesitation and reached for each other with a laugh. It was all so new and it was still very hard for them to take it in as reality. Kurt leaned forward and closed his eyes as his lips touched Blaine and he just melted into the tender embrace and stopped thinking about anything else at that moment. As they found their courage Blaine leaned forward so much that Kurt’s back was at the end of the couch and Blaine was now leaning over him. The only thing that stopped their heavy making out was when they were distracted their hands got too friendly for a second. “Sorry...” Blaine muttered.

“Just keep the hands above the waist Blaine, then we’ll be fine.” Kurt suggested as he kissed him again.

Blaine did just that as he ran a hand through Kurt’s hair as they kissed and they laughed and smiled between each other. Until Blaine had become very familiar with how Kurt’s lips and mouth felt and he got the urge to be more adventurous, so he brought his mouth on Kurt’s neck, only to hear him squawk in surprise.

Blaine sat up from Kurt and looked at him in alarm, but Kurt smiled back at him with a laugh through their their heavy breathing. “Was it too much?” he murmured to him in alarm.

Kurt shook his head and kissed him one last time to assure him and they both sat up on the couch. “No! It was good...very good... that’s the problem. It was a wake up call though, that we should take a break and cool down a bit! Before...” Kurt sputtered off awkwardly.

“Before things get out of hand, yeah that’s probably a good idea. Only come here, we can cuddle and still cool off.” Blaine suggested as he reached for Kurt and was glad to see him shift back into his arms. Blaine draped his arm over Kurt’s shoulder while he snuggled up next to Blaine and rested his head on his shoulder.

Kurt reached out and took hold of Blaine’s hand and their laced their fingers together. “So it might be good to talk now.” Kurt offered.

“What should we talk about then?”

“I’m gonna answer that question with the same answer when we made up. We should say what we want.” Kurt offered.

“Good, because I know what I want already...” Blaine replied.

“Do tell.” Kurt said looking up at him with a small smile.

Blaine grinned as he kissed the top of Kurt’s head lightly before shifting forward so he could face him directly. “ I want to be with you, Kurt, as your boyfriend, and I want you to be mine. I want to see you every day and be able to kiss you, talk with you. Some things won’t change if we start dating, because we were friends first. But I want to find out what things will change... as we start our journey together as an actual couple.” he answered.

Kurt smiled at Blaine lovingly and reached out to Blaine and suddenly hugged him tightly. “Oh Blaine, sometimes I think you’re so perfect that you couldn’t be real.” he said softly.

“I’m a regular flawed human being Kurt, it’s only when I’m with you that I can pretend to be perfect.” Blaine assured him.

“Well perfect or not I want to be your boyfriend and I want to be able to tell people you’re mine.” Kurt announced softly.

“Good, it’s decided then. Should we shout it from the top of the mountains or break out into song?”

Kurt rolled his eyes playfully, “Spare me the dramatics Blaine, right now I’m just trying not to kiss you again.”

Blaine laughed as he let go of Kurt so he could kiss him again. “I’m your boyfriend now Kurt, so you can kiss me whenever you like...” he pointed out.

“But then we’ll never get anything else in our lives done!” Kurt blurted out and he felt the colour rise to his cheeks.

“Kurt, we’re teenagers and kissing you is amazing... but once the initial novelty wears off, I’d like to hope we’ll have some control, some! I think you’ll find out life still goes on.” Blaine couldn’t help but point out to Kurt.

They two of them were able to put the theory of being able to control themselves to the test when they just sat cuddled together on the couch for a while. As amazing as discovering how good kissing each other felt, they both had to admit just sitting back and letting the sheer bliss of it all wash over them was pretty good too. Kurt began to think how wonderful Blaine’s confession to him had been, that he couldn’t have dream a better one. As he thought about how it had happened Kurt found he finally had a reason to be happy after the whole drama with his father had happened. Because it had resulted in him singing Rose’s Turn which Blaine had seen him perform. Kurt only wished he could have seen Blaine’s face when the realization hit him. But as Kurt began to wonder about it he suddenly noticed a very amusing similarity between his and Blaine’s break through moments. Which caused him to burst out laughing, causing Blaine to look at him with a confused look. “I’m sorry, I just realized something very amusing.” Kurt managed to say through laughs.

“Please, tell me before I get a complex.” Blaine pleaded.

“It’s nothing you did so don’t worry. It’s just we both realized our feelings for each other when I was singing!” Kurt explained with a snicker.

“What? Explain, how did you realize your feelings for me while you were singing?” Blaine asked, because he knew Kurt didn’t mean Rose’s Turn. “It couldn’t have been during Rose’s Turn...”

“No it was way before that, actually.” Kurt began, when he saw Blaine’s surprise he laughed and pushed at him playfully. “Don’t be so surprised, you haven’t met yourself... you’re very charming and easy to fall for, let me tell you. As I was trying to say, I knew my feelings for you went past friendship when I sang ’A House is Not a Home’ in glee club. I know I was supposed to be singing the song for Finn to make amends but try as I might, I couldn’t get you out of my mind. I could practically picture you sitting there watching me as I sang. Nothing else mattered and that moment, my thoughts were all about you. About this wonderful young man who had walked into my life and It just hit me...” Kurt began to mutter. “…like a lighting bolt.”

“…like a lighting.” Blaine answered at the same time Kurt did.

The two of them went silent and stared at each other and Blaine let out a long breath. “Should we be scared?” he asked.

Kurt shook his head, “No, for once Blaine, I’m not scared and I want to move forward and see what the future holds for us.”

Blaine smiled at Kurt and he couldn’t resist kissing him once more. “I dunno what to say Kurt, I guess your voice just has that effect on people, well us, anyway.” Blaine commented, which caused them both to laugh.

“Stop being so cute or I’ll never stop kissing you and we’ll be here all night!”

“I’d say that wouldn’t be a bad thing but... yeah... we should probably go before they close the school down.” Blaine admitted as he glanced at his watch and saw how late it was.

Kurt resisted the urge to begin to whine in protest but he brought out his phone and saw that while it wasn’t overly late, it was late enough, to a point where his dad would wonder why he had missed dinner without letting him know he had plans. Kurt gave a loud sigh as he and Blaine stood up. But they were still holding hands as they walked out of the room and neither one of them ever wanted to let go. But when they reached the parking lot and when they faced the fact that had to part, they looked at each other and then to their linked hands and sighed.

“I don’t want to let go...” Kurt whined as he frowned.

“Me neither... but it might be kind of hard for us to both drive home. Especially because they’re in different directions and in different vehicles.” Blaine pointed out to Kurt.

Kurt pouted, “True, well since I came to see you at your school, I am seeing you off to your car at least.”

Blaine didn’t argue in the least with Kurt’s offer and they slowly walked over to his car. Only once they had to face really parting ways Kurt became that much more irresistible and Blaine couldn’t help himself. He leaned back against his car and pulled Kurt down for one last long kiss, or that had been the plan. But the second his lips met Kurt, his new boyfriend placed his hands on Blaine’s shoulder and kissed back with matched enthusiasm.

Once again the need for oxygen forced the two of them to stop finally and they tore away from each other. Knowing they were treading over dangerous waters by kissing out in public, even if it was Dalton. “Should we really be making out in your school’ s parking lot Blaine?” Kurt asked.

“Probably not, but it doesn’t make stopping any easier.” Blaine admitted. He was learning that a side affect to him discovering how much he liked kissing Kurt was that it made him rebellious. “But screw them! Just this once!” Blaine shouted and went back for more. When finally he knew Blaine was pushing his luck and he stopped for good. “Sorry...”

“I dunno what we’ve unleashed but I like it.” Kurt teased.

Blaine laughed and got into his car, “So you’ll call me tonight, right?” he asked as he made a pouty puppy dog face at Kurt through the open window.

Kurt gave Blaine a look of adoration as he stepped up to the window and kissed him. “Yes of course, Blaine. It will be hard enough to not call you the second I get home!”

“I guess this will be our first trial as a couple then. I better actually drive off now...” Blaine began as he started his car up and waited for Kurt to step back so he could pull out of his parking spot. “Bye, Kurt!” he called as he drove off towards the road.

Kurt stood and watched Blaine disappear off into the distance before he walked over to his own car as he hummed merrily to himself. “So none of our dreams will come true, huh? Well, take that Bryan Ryan!” Kurt shouted in triumph.
______________________________________________________________

Kurt was finding it very difficult to stop himself from smiling wherever he he went and during whatever he was supposed to do. At the moment he was just trying to stay awake in class because he and Blaine had talked well past midnight on the phone. Their new relationship aside, they’d chatted on like they normally did for the most part. But that was mainly because they wanted to save the romantic stuff till they were in person. That is, if they could keep their hands off one another, or rather off each other’ s lips to do any talking. But he had to constantly remind himself throughout the day that if he looked too happy people would start to wonder why. Especially when Bryan Ryan had told them all he was cutting glee club because Will had gotten the part for ’Les Mis‘, so he knew he should try to act or at least look worried because of that fact. In truth he was worried, because he loved being in glee: it was the reason he had met Blaine, or a big part of it at least. It’s just that he was still on high from what had happened the day before. When it was lunch time Kurt brought out his phone and sent Blaine a text.

So have the Warblers noticed any change in you? Because I’m having a hard time fighting the urge to smile all the time.

Blaine’ s reply came a few minuets later:

Didn’t even get the chance. My friends ambushed me as soon as I got here. Seems they knew how I felt about you before I did.

Kurt began to laugh quietly to himself because he could relate to that, since Mercedes had more or less guessed the same thing for him and Blaine.

Poor baby, I hope they didn’t tease you too much.

What do you think? It was not fun….. okay maybe a little. =)

Tell them to ease up or they’ll have to answer to me, Blaine.

I’m lucky to have such an awesome boyfriend.

Eventually they both had to admit they needed to actually eat during lunch so they ended their conversation via texting and promised to resume it after class was over. Kurt was finally feeling slightly rested and a bit more reserved now that it was later in the day. But it seemed to be too little too late when Mercedes came to sit down beside him in the cafeteria with a big smile on her face. “So...” she began.

Kurt knew exactly what she was referring to but after all the teasing he knew he’d get in the future Kurt didn’t want to make it that easy for her. “So... what?” he asked her innocently.

Mercedes rolled her eyes in annoyance, “So when am I going to hear about last night? Because judging by the big dopey grin you’ve had on your face all day, I assume it went well.”

“Oh that! Well where to begin…” Kurt began but he noticed Mercedes was loosing her patience and he reminded himself that she was keeping him knowing Blaine a secret. “Judging by how long I made out with my boyfriend last night... it went VERY well indeed.” Kurt answered smugly.

“About time! But congratulations! I just hope you two got some talking done during all the kissing.” Mercedes said.

“Yes somehow, well eventually. Though most of the talking took place before the kissing. It was amazing, Mercedes, and no, not just the making out part. You were right, I just had to go forward and be brave and what a reward I got from it! ” Kurt told her, he then continued to fill her in on the details of what they had said to one another. Kurt hoped that this would be a story he’d be telling people for many years to come. As he told her the memories came flooding back into his mind causing him to smile like a lovesick fool again.

“I’m happy for you guys, because it was clear to me that this was gonna happen. I’m just glad it didn’t take you two too long to come to your senses. I for one had thought you and Blaine were meant to be since day one. First thing I thought when I saw you at that roller rink was how freaking cute you are together. But you do realize that you can’t say you and Blaine are just friends when everyone finds out about him now?” Mercedes had to point out.

Kurt gave a loud grown, “Oh crap no I didn’t think of that! Well I’ll just have to deal with that when it happens because I’m not giving him up. For now I’m just going to focus on adjusting to dating Blaine and go from there, I’m happy and that’s all that matters to me right now. Well that and what’s going to happen to the New Directions. Because I haven’t forgotten about my first love: music.”

“Glad to hear it, so when will you see lover boy next?” Mercedes asked.

“Tonight, he’s coming over to my place. I’m curious to see how different things will be now.” Kurt admitted.

“I bet he’s thinking the same exact thing, Kurt.” Mercedes replied with a laugh.
____________________________________________________________________

Blaine certainly was wondering how would things be different for them now that they were officially a couple when Kurt greeted him at his doorstep. It was clear that some things would stay the same, while other things would be very different. Like figuring out the rules to physical intimacy and what boundaries each other wanted to put in place. Blaine had a feeling that every situation would be different and in the end they’d need to talk about it. But considering it was only the second day into their relationship, Blaine didn’t want to seem pretentious or make Kurt feel uncomfortable and pressured in any way; despite the fact that they were teenagers, Blaine wanted to take things slow. But it wasn’t the time or place to think about such things. Blaine gave Kurt a playful smile and gave him a quick peck on the lips as he stepped inside. “Hey you.” he said sheepishly.

“Hey yourself.” Kurt replied, he had intended to give Blaine a quick peck on the lips like he had. Only it ended up being far longer and far less chaste as Blaine took hold of him and dipped him backwards. When the kiss ended Kurt shook his head and took hold of Blaine’s arm and lead him down the hallway to the stairs. Then came the nerves, as Kurt had assumed there would be, which was silly because they had done this a dozen times before, going to his bedroom. Only now things were so different, in a scary yet in a good way.

Blaine could only remain silent at first until they were in Kurt’s bedroom and he smiled at Kurt before he began to laugh. It was a slightly nervous laugh but it helped nonetheless, he rubbed the back of his neck with his free hand and sighed at Kurt. “I missed you.”

Kurt let out a small laugh and nodded in agreement, he stepped closer to Blaine and stopped himself. He had been so wrapped up in all the magic that had happened to them last night. Only now he was feeling shy and unsure if he could be that bold again when it came to physical contact.

Blaine seemed to notice his struggle and he smirked at Kurt and placed his hand around his waist. “Kurt, you can touch me if you want to.” he whispered to him.

“Are you sure?” Kurt asked as his voice began to crack under the pressure.

Blaine smiled and saved Kurt the trouble and kissed him for what seemed like ages. “So do you feel as silly and awkward as I do?” he asked softly afterwards.

Kurt eyed him curiously, “You sure don’t seem awkward, unlike me...” Kurt moped.

“I’m just good at hiding it, believe me, inside I’m a wreck.” Blaine assured him. “But as awkward as it might be, it’s nothing to be ashamed of. I mean it’s going to take some getting used to, being able to... to do things like this. But I for one am looking forward to figuring it all out together. I just hope I don’t mess up along the way.” Blaine told him softly.

Kurt sighed, “Heaven forbid Blaine!” Kurt said in a mockingly dramatic tone. “But me too, I mean this is new for the both of us. But for one of the first times in my life it’s all for the better. Though it doesn’t make figuring everything out that much easier...” Kurt began. He lead him over to his couch and brought Blaine to sit down beside him. “I just want to try explaining why I’m hesitant about touching you, Blaine... It’s not that I don’t want to, all I have to do is look at your handsome face and all I can think about is kissing you. But this is all so new to me, I’ve never faced it before. Being in a relationship, I’ve never been a very touchy-feely and some of that wasn’t by choice. I’m just not used to someone wanting me in any capacity that I start to doubt that someone would want to kiss me...” Kurt began to explain.

“I look forward to proving how wrong you are with that assumption. Because even if it took me a while to know how I felt about you exactly, from day one I’ve been well aware at what a freaking attractive a person you are Kurt.” Blaine decided to admit.

“Honestly?” Kurt blurted out in surprise.

Blaine looked at his boyfriend’s shocked face and felt his heart begin to melt with feelings of love. He gathered Kurt into his arms and hugged him tightly as he kissed him. “Yes you big silly handsome fool! You’re hot and I’m more than happy to prove it to you for a while;...” Blaine answered as he began to trail little kisses over the corner of Kurt’s mouth tenderly.

Kurt hadn’t intended for his insecurities to result in them to start what ended up being a very long make out session but Kurt wasn’t complaining. Kurt was very glad that his assumption that Blaine’s lips tasted neither like burgers, gum or armpits had been correct. As amazing as tuning the fine art of kissing Blaine was, he still wanted them to talk a bit more. So they finally broke apart and cooled down a bit before they dared kiss each other again.

“So how’d I do?” Blaine asked.

“You have me thoroughly convinced, Blaine.” Kurt answered with a smirk. “Almost too well actually.”

“Yeah, it was pretty hot.” Blaine agreed.

Kurt gulped and nodded in agreement as they began to untangle their legs from each other. Kurt laughed lightly because of the state their bodies were in when they had got down to business. That didn’t mean Kurt wanted to move away from Blaine, so he shifted himself so he was lying on Blaine and his chin was resting on his chest as he looked up at him. “I’m not too heavy am I? Because I can move if...” Kurt began to offer.

Blaine’s answer was to wrap his arms around Kurt and squeezed him lightly. “No... this is nice.” Blaine replied. “Perfect for talking.” he said as he shifted into the couch even more. “Also far more safe because it’s not the bed.”

Kurt began to laugh, “Yes!” he said in agreement as he crossed his arms over Blaine’s chest so he could rest his head in a more comfortable position. He gave a content sigh and he listened to the sound of Blaine’s breathing. He then noticed how fast Blaine’s heart was beating and he took that as a sign it was safe to bring up the big question. “While we’re on that Blaine, do you think it’s too soon to discuss how far we want to go?” Kurt asked him reluctantly.

“No, not at all! I wanted to ask you about it but I thought it might be too soon. Once again we’ve learned we should stop worrying and just say what’s on our mind. So far we seem to always be on the same page. Honesty is the best policy after all.” Blaine responded.

“Yes, well that might not always be the case but I’m glad it is at the moment. As much as I’m enjoying our kissing... the fact that I’m still somewhat hesitant to touch you... romantically is because I’m unsure where our boundaries are. So it might be a bit sudden but I really want us to be clear with what we want and how far we want to go.” Kurt admitted.

“Kurt... you are so adorable and I adore you... but I’m gonna be completely honest with you. I don’t want to go more than kissing right now. I liked your idea of keeping things above the waist as far as touching goes too. I don’t want us to ruin what we have by going to fast too soon. I’m not ready for it and I don’t think I will be for a while. I hope you’re not disappointed if that’s not the case with what you want.”

“Oh god Blaine! You’re very irresistible but there is no way I’m ready to deal with getting intimate with you yet! We just got together, there’s a lot to cover. I mean, just being in Glee has showed how destructive having sex right away can be... so I’m relieved that you feel the same way. This will take off a lot of pressure on us.”

“So we’re of one mind here? That we take things slow and keep it all to kissing? because I’m enjoying that a lot so far.”

“Yes Blaine, I think that’s our best option for us. I mean I’d be fine if we graduate to a little making out on the bed in the near future... as long as we promise to be honest with each other. If we feel things are going too far or getting too much out of our comfort zones we stop and tell each other the truth, with no regrets. I never want either of us to worry about making the other do something they don’t want to do and I don’t mean just sex...” Kurt began to ramble, it felt so odd to say the word sex and Kurt found himself turning bright red whenever he did.

“Sounds good to me... think that’s enough talking for now, though?” Blaine asked as he looked at Kurt playfully.

“One last thing, it might be a good idea to... not go on any fancy dates to begin with. I mean for one thing we’re going to be too busy getting ready for Regionals soon. Now that we’re actually dating and keeping it from our friends in glee, it makes it all that much more complicated.” Kurt explained.

“I hadn’t thought of that.” Blaine muttered.

“We’ve been so distracted by the kissing, I know, but it would lessen some of the stress. I’m not saying we can’t be together in public, because we did that before we started dating, just... we’re going to have to be more careful. But I was planning to tell the New Directions about you after Regionals, if that’s alright.”

“I think it’s brilliant Kurt, I’m glad one of us is thinking clearly enough to be clever. So I can go along with not going on actual dates until Regionals. As long as what we’re doing right now isn’t classified as a date.” Blaine said with a grin.

“No... definitely not...” Kurt said as he let his face be pulled in for another deep kiss.
