Author's Notes: Chapter 21

All throughout Kurt's life there was one saying he'd heard many times over; how every happens for a reason. Each time Kurt had heard the phrase, usually when he was going through hell, his stubborn opinion had stayed the same. It was all a load of utter bullshit that people said when they wanted to sound sincere when they really knew dick all. Only now did Kurt finally understand what those words actually meant. How every choice, decision and subsequent act a person made would direct where their paths could go.

It all fit together now; how everything Kurt had done in the last few months had brought him to this outcome. One he would have never anticipated but wasn't about to under-mean or worry if he'd truly deserved it. Because Kurt was in a hotel room with Blaine, where they were both ready willing and able to consummate their new romance.

The details of reaching such a point were hardly harlequin romance novel material but it was all Blaine and Kurt had. Sebastian would be forever intertwined in their history as well, though currently their mutual acquaintance was the farthest thing from either of the boy’s minds.

The soon to be lovers were quick to disrobe as soon as they entered the hotel room. Patience might be a virtue but pacing themselves was the least of their worries. Blaine and Kurt wanted nothing more then to tend to their needs for each other. The rest could wait until later, much, much later.

Now both deliciously naked, the pair kissed, over and over until the number count started to blur.

“Is this real?” Blaine breathed.

Kurt slowed ever so slightly, because there was no reason to rush. They had the entire night to have their fill one another. “Yes Blaine, I know it's hard to believe but it's very real,” Kurt assured.

Now that the confirmation process was over, Blaine was fine to let his mind simplify so he could turn his attentions to Kurt lying beside him. Blaine reached out to touch Kurt and glided his fingertips down his right forearm.

Kurt crinkled his nose as he watched Blaine gaze at him so intently that he felt like the young man was appreciating a famous piece of art. It dawned on him that in a way Blaine was doing just that and it humbled the normally stoic young man to near tears. Blaine loved him. He was in bed with Kurt because he wanted to connect with him on an emotional level, in addition to the physical.

“Kurt?” Blaine whispered.

It wasn't in Kurt's nature to get so philosophical about sex but now that emotions were involved, he was totally thrown off guard. Fortunately for the both of them, Kurt was still as confident as ever and he quickly got back on track. “Sorry, almost got lost in thought there... I fucking swear that will not happen again,” Kurt muttered.

Blaine laughed, “Good to know.”

Kurt was very much enjoying Blaine's naked body as he determined what Blaine liked best from his boyfriend’s reactions. He brought his head down to gently breathe on Blaine's stomach, causing goose bumps to form. Kurt ran his hand down Blaine's front, his touch so gentle that it made Blaine shudder with pleasure. Sometimes a gentle hand proved far more effective than the rough approach. Kurt had a feeling Blaine would be amazing when things got more frantic as well.

“Kurt...” Blaine moaned as Kurt started to kiss his hips.

Kurt wanted to give everything he could to Blaine and then some. But for now he would focus on the physical aspect of their new relationship and bask in the joy that was emotionally connected sex.

It didn't take a genius to figure out that Kurt would know how to please a man, considering who he'd learned it all from. Blaine also reminded himself that he had experienced it first hand before during the threesome, but now, and at long last they were truly alone. Blaine kept himself still as Kurt settled his attention to his cock and held his breath in anticipation.

Naturally Kurt did not disappoint when he took Blaine's length into his mouth. Blaine let out a low-pitched moan and he clasped the back of Kurt's neck with his hand to help set the proper rhythm. But right before things could get out of hand, Kurt seemed to know on instinct when Blaine was nearing his breaking point. So he withdrew and moved back up onto his knees and kissed Blaine hard on the mouth.

Now both upright and on their knees, Kurt's skillful hands trailed down to softly caress Blaine's perky behind. Blaine laughed out loud when Kurt suddenly pushed him backwards onto the bed so Kurt pinned him down. He found the aggressive move thrilling and to assure Kurt he was fully on board, Blaine gave his lover a sultry look.

But there was something Kurt needed to check before Kurt would start ravishing his boyfriend. “Do you want to take over?”

A catch formed in Blaine's throat that he was quick to gulp down. The fact that Kurt was not only willing to give total control to Blaine but was asking him out right, moved Blaine to no ends. It was Kurt's way to show how much he trusted Blaine and valued his input, even in something so primal as sex.

Blaine shook his head, biting his lip from the strain of not becoming tearful from the offer. “No, keep going. It feels amazing... I love when you get all intense and possessive...” Blaine urged.

Those were hardly very encouraging words and Kurt frowned at Blaine. “That doesn't sound very convincing to me...” Kurt teased.

If it weren't for the fact that Blaine’s cock was growing painfully hard, he would have been more willing to continue with their playful banter. “Kurt, we both know what this is about.”

If Kurt knew what Blaine was going on about then he chose to hide the fact and was doing a good job of it. “We do?” He asked with a befuddled look.

Blaine rolled his eyes. “Oh no, we can continue this later. What I really want you to do right now is to finish what you started,” Blaine admitted as guided Kurt's body to come and hover over him once more. “Come on, touch me Kurt, I think we've waited long enough to fuck each other’s brains out.”

Kurt thought that Blaine certainly had a way with words but there was one final detail he wanted to put into play before he'd dive in. “If you'll indulge me Blaine, there's one quick thing I need to do...” Kurt whispered into Blaine's ear before he gently started to nibble on his earlobe.

Blaine growled. “You better do it quick,” he hissed in annoyance.

Kurt sprung off the bed with a grin, but he ended up surprising Blaine when he went for his cellphone that was on the dresser opposite of the bed. Blaine half sat up on the bed in confusion, he thought Kurt was going to get condoms and lube, not make a phone call.

“Please don't tell me you're calling Sebastian to give him a play by play commentary!” Blaine groaned.

Kurt let out a loud mocking laugh at the very idea. “Fuck no! I just thought we might want some music playing. Not only is it romantic and something I've never done with Sebastian, but it will also help drown out our screams of ecstasy,” Kurt explained.

“You do get pretty loud during sex,” Blaine agreed.

Once Kurt turned up the volume as high as it could go with his phone on speaker, he placed it on the edge of the nightstand. There was no need to search for the right song to play and he wasn't about to make a suitable play-list either. All he could manage was pick one song and put it on repeat before he went back to Blaine. Immediately Kurt started to make up for lost time and put his hands to work on making sure Blaine was still nice and hard so the next step could soon take place.

“Happy now?” Blaine asked playfully.

“What do you think?” Kurt said in a low and throaty voice, one he knew made Blaine go weak in the knees.

Blaine was so preoccupied with what he and Kurt were doing he didn't notice the familiar song intro begin. The music was background white noise to him and all his senses were fixated upon Kurt and how much he needed to be with him when there weren't any hidden emotions to get in the way.

First when there's nothing
But a slow glowing dream
That your fear seems to hide
Deep inside your mind

Kurt's hands slowly glided over Blaine's body, exploring every inch, feeling, caressing. Kurt kissed the side of Blaine’s neck, grazing his teeth over the soft skin towards Blaine's shoulder. Blaine grasped the sides of Kurt's face and pulled his head back up so they could kiss again. For once kissing wasn't enough for either man and soon Kurt was back to his original game plan. Which brought Kurt to settle over Blaine's lower regions and where he finally gave proper attention to his hardened cock.

“Kurt...” Blaine moaned.

All alone, I have cried
Silent tears full of pride
In a world made of steel
Made of stone

Kurt still managed to take his time, at least for this first round because he knew the pace would surely quicken soon enough. Perhaps his insistence to make their first time having sex as lovers had something to do with Kurt's need to separate this new sexual encounter from those he had shared with Sebastian. Because no matter what he and his roommate might have shared, even if it went as far as intimacy, being with Blaine wasn't on the same scale.

Feelings did make a very big different, so much that Kurt never wanted the sensation to stop. In this instance and hopefully from now on, Kurt wanted to embrace the change and see what he had been missing out on. The connection he felt with Blaine in that instant was so amazing, so incredibly intoxicating that it was hard to focus on the physical act.

“Fuck, don't stop!” Blaine wheezed.

Kurt brought his face close to Blaine's cock so he could run his tongue down its surface. Kurt added to Blaine's pleasure when he grasped the base of his shaft so he could take Blaine's cock into his mouth. Blaine's hips bucked forward on reflex but Kurt was ready for him and managed to keep going without gagging. Blaine on the other hand put his finger in his mouth to bite down on to keep himself from shouting out.

Well, I hear the music
Close my eyes, feel the rhythm
Wrap around, take a hold of my heart

“Blaine, I want to ride you...” Kurt suddenly announced. “Need to!” He added with a sharp gasp.

The request might have seemed superficial and if anyone but Kurt had asked him Blaine wouldn't have thought much of it.

“Okay,” he breathed. There was not much trust in Blaine's voice and it sounded exactly the same when he and Kurt had first met.

Blaine heard the rustle of plastic as Kurt reached for the box of condoms on the side of the bed and snap of the lube bottle opening came next. Right when Blaine didn't think he could take just how much his whole body was aching with need any longer, Kurt moved things along. He took hold of Blaine's shoulders and pushed him fully down on the bed.

“Splay out for me nice and good Blaine, because I am going to ride you so hard that you'll barely know what hit you when it's all over...” Kurt whispered but as soon as he heard what he had just said, he let out a loud groan. “Fuck that sounded so stupid! This is why I rarely try that hard when it comes to verbal foreplay.”

“Just sink your ass down on my cock Kurt, before you'll lose your chance,” Blaine said with urgency.

Kurt would have done just that if there still weren't prep work to see to first. So without any further ado, he set to rolling a condom on Blaine's cock and slicked it up nice and good with lube next. Kurt brought his leg to cross over Blaine's torso so he was now straddling Blaine with knees bent.

Kurt struggled to align himself correctly and Blaine started to help him without any prompting and after a few attempts, contact was made. Kurt sucked in air as the tip of Blaine's cock pressed against his hole and it was hard not to come already. But Kurt knew a thing or two about stamina, so he slipped fully down onto Blaine and managed to only cry out in pleasure from the stretch.

“Shit! Have I ever missed you being inside of me, Blaine!”

What a feeling
Bein's believin'
I can have it all
Now I'm dancing for my life

Irene Cara was taking the words right out of Blaine's mouth in that moment because he had also missed the wonderful tightness that was Kurt's Hummel's ass. Pleasure coursed through Blaine and his hands soon tightly grip Kurt's waist. Kurt rocked himself up and down on Blaine's cock, using just enough force at the right moment. He slammed hard down on Blaine it caused the young man to start shouting loud profanities despite his short of breath.

“You're so fucking tight, I can barely take it!” Blaine barked.

On a whim, Blaine decided just to go for it and he started to snap his hips upwards to add more momentum.

“Oh god Blaine, that's the stuff, harder!”

Take your passion
And make it happen
Pictures come alive
You can dance right through your life

Still loudly moaning, Kurt settled himself back down onto Blaine so their faces were close enough for their lips to touch. Due to their lack of focus and how incredible they currently felt, all the pair could manage was to clumsily smash their lips together in the end. It hardly mattered anyway and contact was contact. Blaine brought his hands to hold the back of Kurt's neck, keeping him close as he jerked his hips and thrust his cock up and into Kurt.

Now I hear the music
Close my eyes, I am rhythm
In a flash, it takes hold of my heart

“I love you... so fucking much Blaine!” Kurt whimpered.

Blaine felt like he should be weeping from the tightness surrounding his throbbing cock or how Kurt somehow anticipated his every move. Kurt's own hard on was trapped between their moving bodies and the friction nearly sent him off the edge. Unable to stop himself (not that he needed to) Blaine continued with his sharp upward thrusts and Kurt's own need to keep moving was just as frantic. Kurt's fingers dug into Blaine's sides as he quickly got even more aggressive and started to fuck himself on Blaine's cock with all his might.

Blaine's body went slack from the force and his toes curled from the pressure building within his body. He needed to hold out for as long as possible because he didn't want it to end. Blaine loved Kurt, with all of his being and getting the chance to pleasure him was affecting him in so many ways. But none more than how their bodies fit together so well and the connection he knew they both felt, it was nearly inconceivable.

What a feeling, bein's believin'
I can have it all
Now I'm dancing for my life

“How can it feel this good? I mean, feelings can't make it that different!” Blaine cried out in disbelief.

“Maybe it's just us and we're that good together!” Kurt wheezed.

Something had to explain for the fact that sex normally wasn't like this for either Kurt or Blaine. Could it really just amount to love in the end? But there was no time to stop and think about any more believable answers because their forthcoming orgasms were enough to deal with already.

Take your passion
And make it happen

“Take it Kurt, take all of me!” Blaine panted.

The last time Blaine had even had sex was during the threesome and he couldn't remember who had been fucking whom before he'd blacked out from sheer exhaustion. Sebastian wasn't with them right now, Kurt was his alone, his lover, boyfriend and dare he think it: soulmate.

Keeping things romantic was easier said than done when Blaine's cock was ramming inside of Kurt and turning him into such a hopeless wreck. Kurt's body tensed as he neared the peek of pleasure. Kurt noticed the difference in himself with Blaine, he wasn't solely focused on his own release; he wanted Blaine to come and feel just as good as he did. But Kurt could only last so long.

Pictures come alive
Now I'm dancing through my life

Kurt used his highly flexible hips to rock up and down, gyrating and grunting while he fucked himself on Blaine cock. “Holy shit... I'm so fucking close! Fuck, Blaine! Keep going!” Kurt cried out. So Kurt couldn't stop himself long enough to try to get a hold on his lewdness and sound more deep and tender. Why bother at all really? Blaine sure wasn't asking him to write him an impromptu love poem or anything. But keeping things slow and tender would have to wait until they had come a few times and wore down some of their energy.

What a feeling

There wasn't much need for Blaine to add his own movements at this point; from the way Kurt was ridding him with all of his remaining strength. Edging them both towards their mutually desired goal; beautiful and sharp release. The music in the background muffled the sound of their smacking skin. Kurt planted his arms on either side of Blaine's prone figure as he rocked his hips faster and harder with need.

“Blaine, fuck! I can't take much more!” Kurt sobbed as he tried to deal with the pleasure. 'It shouldn't feel this good,' he thought. How could it be this easy? Why did it feel so fucking amazing?

What a feeling (I am music now)
Bein's believin' (I am rhythm now)
Pictures come alive
You can dance right through your life

“Nearly there myself... wow! This is going to be the orgasm to end all orgasms! I can tell!” Blaine chuckled in amusement.

Kurt managed to join in on Blaine's laughter. “Please don't die on me Blaine, not when we just got together!”

Humour in this instance did nothing to ruin the sexy ambiance in the room, if anything it made the atmosphere more relaxed.

What a feeling (I can really have it all)
Bein's believin'
(Pictures come alive when I call)

Blaine clamped his hands hard on Kurt's hips and he tried not to feel guilty about how his fingers would surely leave bruises afterwards. But the sharp, almost painful intensity that suddenly surged through his body was numbing his senses. It first built in the pit of his stomach and washed over his entire body as he at long last finally came.

“There!” Blaine wheezed to signal it was over for him.

Unfortunately for Kurt, he wasn't quite there yet himself. “Um Blaine... are you forgetting something?” Kurt said in an irritated tone, though he could hardly blame his boyfriend for finishing first.

“Oh shit sorry!” Blaine shouted in apology.

I can have it all (I can really have it all)
Have it all (pictures come alive when I call)
(Call, call ,call, call, what a feeling)

Blaine instantly made up for his grievance when he took hold of Kurt's cock and started to pump it with his fist while he simultaneously thrust his hips upwards again. The combined movements did the trick and soon Kurt's body did one large shudder as he too succumbed to his own sweet release.

“Here we go, yes!” Kurt grunted as his cock twitched and came onto Blaine's free hand.

I can have it all (being's believing)
Bein's believin' (take your passion)

Kurt slumped forward still panting heavily as he tried to regain the ability to speak. At first all he could manage was to regulate his breathing and judging by how heavily Blaine's own chest was heaving up and down, he wasn't the only one. Then Kurt heard how Flashdance was nearing the end of the song and he managed to mime the last three words with perfecting timing.

What a Feeling

The whole act felt totally seamless and where time had stopped so it was if the song had only played once. When in reality it had repeated countless times on an infant loop, but that meant nothing. Whenever Kurt and Blaine were alone together, nothing else seemed to matter.

“Holy shit that was amazing, Kurt,” Blaine breathed in shock. “Please tell me I'm overrating it...”

Kurt smirked. “I was the one riding you Blaine, so I know it was that good... too good, almost,” Kurt confirmed.

Giddy and quite possibly high on love, Blaine laughed as he gently pulled out so they could lie beside each other. As soon as he was able Kurt snuggled against Blaine's outstretched arms and let out a content sigh, despite how he was still rather winded.

“Better than Sebastian?” Blaine asked as he raised an eyebrow playfully at Kurt.

Kurt snickered at Blaine but stopped to kiss his neck before giving any sort of confirmation. “Yes Blaine, you were better than Sebastian and that's no lie,” he assured.
________________________________________________________________________

“That's it, I'm spent, I can do no more!” Blaine wheezed as his head hit the pillow.

Kurt, who was equally winded but in the best possible way, knew the feeling and he collapsed face first into the mattress on Blaine's left. “I didn't think we could finish there... I dunno if I'll be ever be able to get it up again,” he groaned.

Blaine took a deep breath, held it and let it out again. Who would have thought that he could have so much sex that he'd find taking in oxygen such a struggle? But there he was; panting away but also grinning from ear to ear like a giddy fool. “Fuck, that was... oh my god, I can't even word it properly! Hand me my phone so I can look up an online thesaurus....”

“Can't move arm... too weak...” Kurt's muffled voice called back.

Blaine gave up his attempts to sound well versed, though really he wasn't trying very hard in the first place. Using the remainder of his strength to turn Kurt around so there was no risk that the love of his life would suffocate.

“Thanks,” Kurt said quietly.

“Why don't we take a little breather and recuperate so our motor functions can properly return?” Blaine suggested. He really wanted to share a little pillow talk before going to sleep.

“Good idea,” Kurt said in agreement.

For a short interlude both men remained quiet as they slowly regulated their breathing at a short distance apart. But slowly and without really noticing, the gap between them began to shrink, until they were pressed up against each other once more. Blaine’s head rested on Kurt's shoulder, with his arms encircling Kurt's waist. It was touching scene of romantic bliss and tenderness. With each new orgasm, their next coupling was brought down another peg. Until towards the end of the last time, it had been so sleepy, slow and wonderful, that neither had wanted an end to occur.

“So, how many times?” Blaine suddenly asked.

Kurt grinned, he of course had kept count and felt no urge to keep the fact from his paramour. “By my reckoning... there were four orgasm in all but numbers mean nothing in the end,” Kurt scoffed.

Blaine laughed, “I’ll try not to focus on them too much from now on then.”

Kurt found himself actually craving the feeling of Blaine's warm body pressed up close. When he was in Blaine arms Kurt felt so loved, treasured and safe. Safe, that was something Kurt often felt he lacked no matter how fearless he seemed. Kurt shifted his weight slightly so he could half lie on Blaine's chest and he ran his hand along Blaine's stomach lightly.

“This is nice,” Blaine said happily as he snuggled closer into Kurt's body.

“It really is, and very new,” Kurt admitted, totally content.

“I knew you'd warm up to cuddling, Kurt.”

“Hmm? I guess you know me better than I know myself.”

“That's totally an Adam Lambert song,” Blaine teased.

Blaine unraveled their arms and before Kurt could protest, he brought their right hands together and laced their fingers, bringing both up so he could kiss Kurt's lightly. Kurt laughed and just rested his cheek against the top of Blaine's head and let the peaceful atmosphere sink in.

“So just to make it clear, we both agree we don't want this to be a casual thing,” Kurt commented.

“You damn right I don't! I'm not letting you loose now that I've had you all to myself. Your ass is mine Hummel,” Blaine growled.

Kurt smirked at him affectionately before continuing their talk. “Anyway, back to the root of our discussion and how we both agree that we want to be together.”

“Boyfriends,” Kurt added.

“Lovers, partners and what not...” Blaine began to list.

Kurt chuckled lightly and kissed the top of Blaine's head. Pillow talk, like cuddling, was something new for Kurt to experience but both were a pleasant surprise. “My, aren't we a chatty Cathy,” he teased.

“That's no surprise, I'm a chatter box Kurt, even after having a ton of sex,” Blaine stated.

“And I'm still snarky. I'm still who I was before confessing my feelings for you... and I honestly don't know how much I can change, Blaine...” Kurt began to admit reluctantly.

Regardless of how many happy moments were in store for Kurt now that he had Blaine in his life, he knew feelings of doubt would always remain in the back of his mind. His walls were still down and that meant the inside of his mind was a chaotic mess. Kurt had every intention to see to his mental health and he knew Blaine would help him heal in every way possible. Kurt could put it aside for now, because he wasn't stalling. Denial was not the issue for once, Kurt wanted his problems dealt with before they could begin to fester and rot. Blaine was the key to cauterizing his open wounds and already his heart had begun to mend. His emotional barriers would return but if Kurt had his way, they would never cut him off from social society anymore.

Blaine heard the hidden message in Kurt's voice and before he would attempt to acknowledge it he pulled up so he could kiss Kurt's lips. He could do this for Kurt; prove his worth and help Kurt to see himself the way that Blaine did. Having him recognize all of his wonder and beauty and that his faults didn't outweigh his strengths. Blaine knew his high opinion of Kurt was boarding hero-worship at times but he would work on that too. Just as he knew that Kurt would do everything in his power to make him happy and feel just as valued.

“Kurt, I don't know where you got this silly idea that I'd want you to change. If you're having trouble adjusting to us being together then I want you to tell me, so I can help you. But that doesn't mean I expect you to do anything you're unsure about. Not without talking to me first. I love you Kurt and more importantly; I love you for who you are. That includes every aspect of you; past, present and future. The man I fell in love with is full of snark, who had tightly emotional walls and scars of the past. I think I fell in love with you so fast because I could see that little glimmer of who you were on the inside...” Blaine explained. But for all his ability to say romantic and wonderful words, he too had doubts that he wasn't so grand. “Am I even making any sense here?” He asked sheepishly.

The bond that Kurt was forming with Blaine, one based on a fierce love must be strong indeed. Or how else could he find something that, while touching, was also boarding ridiculous so beautiful. “You're way to good at this Blaine, it makes me pale in comparison...” Kurt muttered.

Blaine rolled his eyes. “Stop it, you're gonna rock this boyfriend thing. I just know it,” Blaine scoffed.

“Maybe if you go and do something stupid then I'd feel much better about my ability to compare to you. It might even make me less self conscious about my obvious flaws and all the emotional baggage I'm bringing into the relationship,” Kurt joked but his humour wasn't doing a good job at hiding the bitter truth in his voice.

“When are you going to realize I'm flawed as well? Even when I might not of had a trouble past like you. But we all have emotional scars, baggage and inner demons. Those life experiences shape us and make us the people we are just as much as the good times. I'm a fucked up mess Kurt, I hide my real feelings and let them eat away at me... all the time,” Blaine explained.

Kurt kissed Blaine on the cheek as he grabbed for Blaine's hand and squeezed in lightly. “We can be flawed together then. And still be happy regardless,” he added with a cute smile.

With that romantic note, Kurt and Blaine were fine to let the subject drop so they could contently lie in each other’s arms for a while. It wouldn't be long before they would need to sleep and already they were starting to tire. Kurt's head drooped back down to rest on Blaine's shoulder and he tried not to put too much weight on Blaine in the process. Soon Blaine's soft little kisses on the top on the head slowed until they stopped and Blaine went back to resting his chin there.

But before Kurt would allow himself to drift off to dreamland (which he hoped would be full of Blaine), there was one last topic he needed to be addressed. While he was tired, he knew he wouldn't be able to sleep a wink if he didn't get it off his chest.

Kurt pulled upwards and when Blaine released his hold on Kurt's body he managed to look Blaine in the eye.

“Say Blaine, there's something I've been wondering that I can't get off my mind. You're a music major with limitless talent and you claim to be focusing on composition. So why didn't you write a song to serenade me with? Not that I think that 'Be With You' wasn't perfect, but I'm still oddly curious why you went with it instead of something original,” Kurt asked, speaking so quickly before he finally took a breath to exhale.

Blaine was surprised by the question but had no trouble in answering it. “Oh well... I did it so in case my plan didn't work I could blame the song,” he admitted.

Kurt eyed Blaine suspiciously, because the claim hardly sounded believable to him. “Did you seriously think it wouldn't?” He demanded.

Considering how Kurt was smirking, Blaine knew he wasn't actually angry at him. “Hey you never know! Especially how my track record with love was going... but I was sure hopeful that it would,” Blaine sassed.

Kurt actually started to laugh at Blaine's pitiful look of annoyance and soon it changed to a frown. Blaine poked Kurt in the rib to stop chuckling at him and it took him a while to do so but he still managed to in the end.

“I bet you'd be just as worried if you'd planned to sing me a long song,” Blaine commented.

“I actually did, you just beat me to the punch,” Kurt explained.

“Oh I so need to hear this song, Kurt!”

Only Kurt didn't look so eager to grant the request. “Could we not? I'm so fucking tired Blaine, I wouldn't be able to do the song any justice right now,” he whined.

But Blaine could be just as stubborn as his boyfriend and he wasn't about to let Kurt get his way this time. “You owe me Kurt, I did it for you... isn't is this supposed to be an equal partnership?” Blaine flashed his big puppy dog eyes. When that didn't seem to be working Blaine switched tactics altogether. “I'll put out if you you'll do it for me...” Blaine enticed in a provocative voice.

Kurt rolled his eyes as he brought his hand to touch Blaine's soft cock. “Like either of us could right now. Wait... knowing us... we probably could if we tried hard enough but that seems the more tiresome alternative. So I guess I'll humour you Blaine, since you have earned it and everything. But acoustic will have to do because we have no instruments on hand to add musical back up,” Kurt started to babble until Blaine stopped him by kissing him hard on the mouth.

“That's okay, I love the sound of your voice Kurt, sing to me... please?” Blaine coaxed.

Kurt's face scrunched up with affection as he sat up on the bed and draped the bed sheet over their waists. “Okay but it's not my fault if my performance renders you to tears,” Kurt chimed in warning.

Blaine's solution was to reach over to the side of the bed and retrieve the box of Kleenex that had been nearly depleted during their sexual escapades. “I've got that covered, so there's nothing left but for you to sing. Your audience lies before you, ready to be captivated by your angelic voice.”

While Blaine's encouragement was a little overzealous, Kurt still closed his eyes to call up the right state of mind so he could sing. By the time he opened his eyes up and saw Blaine staring at him in barely controlled excitement, the performer in Kurt had already taken over.

Blaine held his breath as Kurt cleared his throat and was now finally ready to sing. His voice was so quiet it was barely a whisper but it suited the romantic atmosphere perfectly. Immediately Blaine recognized the song, it was 'Do I Love You?' by Ella Fitzgerald.

Do I love you do I?
Doesn't one and one make two?
Do I love you do I?
Does July need a sky of blue?
Would I miss you, would I, if you ever should go away?
If the sun should desert the day, what would life be?

Will I leave you, never?
Could the ocean leave the shore?
Will I worship you forever?
Isn't heaven forevermore?

Do I love you, do I?
Oh my dear it's so easy to see,
Don't you know I do, don't I show you I do,
Just as you love me.

Will I leave you, never?
Could the ocean leave the shore?
Will I worship you forever?
Isn't heaven forevermore?
Do I love you, do I?
Oh my dear it's so easy to see,
Don't you know I do, don't I show you I do,
Just as you love me.

Sure enough it didn't take long for Blaine to need the box of tissues to dab his damp cheeks. But those were tears of joy; Kurt's performance was so beautiful and the song so perfect, it was beyond moving. During the song Kurt nearly faltered whenever he looked at Blaine and saw the emotion he had caused but he managed to endure. As soon as the song was finished both men fell into each other’s arms, crying their hearts out without holding their emotions back.

When there was finally nothing left to emote, the couple tried their best to pull themselves together but it wasn't easy.

Blaine pulled out a tissue and blew his nose loudly. His eyes were red and blotchy and he probably looked horrible but he wasn't the only one. Kurt was no picnic himself, and yet in Blaine's eyes; Kurt was still the most beautiful person he had ever laid eyes on.

“Oh my god Kurt, there are no words to express... fuck!” Blaine exclaimed.

Kurt giggled at Blaine's antics and chose to ease his struggle by kissing him. Blaine was quick to reciprocate and soon the two were rolling around the bed as they continued to make out.

“Does your... offer to put out still stand?” Kurt whispered in Blaine's ear.

“The offer does but I'm not sure if my cock will. I dunno if I can have sex again by this point,” Blaine admitted sheepishly.

Kurt's face brightened with the challenged and he brought his face closer to Blaine's but didn't kiss him. “Then let's make love,” he cooed.
________________________________________________________________________

By the time Blaine and Kurt woke from their deep sleep it was already well into the afternoon, one hour before check out time. But that didn't mean that the sleepyheads were at all inclined to get of bed and face the day. Not when spooning together felt so good and Kurt had half a mind to book the room for another night just so they could laze in bed all day.

But Kurt reminded himself he had a promise to keep with his dad and that brought enough drive for him to get up. Though Kurt groaned, bitched and whined with every move he made and he wasn't the only one too. Blaine was equally slow when it came to the mundane tasks of showering, getting dressed and heading downstairs. Or maybe the extra effort to avoid limping was making it harder to get a move on.

After the couple checked out of the hotel room their energy showed signs of slowly returning to them as they walked hand in hand out of the building. They were still on cloud nine about everything that had happened and it hadn't even been twenty-four hours yet.

“So...” Blaine began as he swung their arms back and forth as they walked towards his car, “... now what?”

“There's the whole matter of us facing my dad, Blaine. Which means you'll get to meet him properly as well,” Kurt reminded his boyfriend.

Blaine was unable to stop his face from falling from the news. He'd forgotten all about Kurt's promise to Burt. It wasn't that Blaine didn't want a better introduction with Kurt's dad, it was the fact that he'd spent the entire night fucking his son that made him reluctant to face him. He also couldn’t dare to forget the fact that their first meeting had taken place while him and Kurt were making out.

“Fuck my life,” Blaine groaned in utter dismay.

Kurt couldn't blame Blaine's reaction but felt that he was still acting a little over dramatic. “Blaine, this is what happens when you do things backwards when it comes to relationships. Try not to worry so much. I've already told him about us, so it's not that bad. I already know my dad will warm up to you in no time... and Carole will come to love you the second she meets you,” Kurt assured.

Blaine tried his best to give Kurt a believable smile in return. “I trust you Kurt... so I'm in,” he said.

“That's my fearless boyfriend, but before we deal with my parents... there's a bigger fish to fry,” Kurt said.

“Oh well, when it comes to that guy... I have a good idea what needs to be done,” Blaine began.

Blaine's idea was sheer genius and the dynamic duo set the plan in motion, which brought them to Breadstix. Only whether their invited guest would show or not was out of their hands.

When he did, Sebastian was subjected with the romantic image of Kurt and Blaine sitting close together in their booth. “And here's the happy new couple of the hour. I'm surprised you guys can sit,” Sebastian announced.

“And you're as smug as ever, Sebastian. Thanks for answering our summons,” Kurt chimed in reply.

“I had nothing better to do,” Sebastian said.

Blaine made no attempts to break up the boys banter and slid an envelope across the table in front of Sebastian.

Sebastian eyed it for a moment but when Kurt and Blaine show no signs of letting him ignore it for long he finally picked it up. Inside was a one-way plane ticket for San Francisco and the flight was four hours away.

“Trying to get rid of me?” He taunted.

“Yes,” Blaine answered without hesitation.

Kurt laughed at his boyfriend's honesty. “In a sense that's what we're doing. But I get the feeling that you're becoming stir crazy by this point anyway. Ohio can only offer you so much and I bet you've used it for all it’s worth already,” Kurt explained. “But it's still a less than subtle hint that we're finished with you meddling in our love lives from now on. We can take it from here. I'm done with owing you anything more than we already do. That doesn't mean I intend to repay you for any of it... but this is a start. Go back to your natural hunting grounds Sebastian, you know you want to.”

“I'm sure Feeling misses you as well, so you can focus on looking after your own pleasure again,” Blaine added.

“Because the three of us know that the days of you and me being fuck buddies is over with, Sebastian. It was a long time coming too,” Kurt said.

“And I have no intentions of sharing Kurt with you either,” Blaine declared. “Not even if it's just for sex.”

Sebastian reaction to all this was to give an indifferent shrug. “Whatever, I'm bored with slumming here anyway. The cut in Ohio is pretty weak, just like I knew it would be. Though I am curious what your game plan is when I'll conveniently be out of the picture for the time being,” Sebastian admitted.

“Oh we're sticking around. I mean did promise my dad that I wouldn't leave early. I doubt even having a boyfriend now could be used as a real excuse to go back on my word,” Kurt explained.

“Kurt and I talked about it and we've decided to spend the rest of the summer break here in Ohio. Splitting our time between Lima and Dover,” Blaine added.

“When we head back to the Bay Area once the break is over there will be much for us to address. It's no question that the dynamic between the three of us will need to change. I'm not even sure if remaining roommates is even possible when sex will no longer be in the equation,” Kurt rambled.

“We could just switch to having threesomes to keep the peace?” Sebastian offered.

“You thought wrong,” Kurt chimed.

“Sex isn't always the answer Sebastian, no matter what you may believe,” Blaine pointed out.

Even Sebastian knew when it would be pointless to go head to head with the new power couple before him. “Fine, have if your way. I think for once I'd like to see some change happen anyway. It was getting weird between us Kurt, that's why I put this whole master plan together in the first place. As a show of gratitude, you lovebirds could try to spare me from your sickening displays of love. That should save us from wanting to throttle each other for a few weeks... or at least a couple of days. I doubt you'll even notice me when I'm around though,” Sebastian stood up from the booth.

“What about breakfast?” Blaine asked.

“I'm still full...” Sebastian smirked and his tone made it clear he wasn't referring to food.

“Don't be a stranger, Sebastian,” Blaine called to him.

“Bite me!” Sebastian snapped back. Which caused a number of people to stare in surprise.

“That's my catch-phrase, go get your own, Sebastian!” Kurt shouted but the man didn't bother to respond. Instead Kurt's phone vibrated and he brought it out to read the text Sebastian had left.

I took your virginity Kurt, so you'll never be rid of me for long.

“Fuck, he's right isn't he?” Kurt groaned.

Even when Blaine had only been Kurt's boyfriend for a day, he already knew when not to give an answer.
________________________________________________________________________

With Sebastian taken care of, that only left one more individual for the new couple to face: Kurt's dad. When Kurt called home to locate Burt it turned out he was working in the shop and the pair made no attempts to delay their arrival.

It didn't take long for Kurt to realize that Blaine was nervous and so was he, but not as much as his boyfriend. Kurt knew that Blaine really was the type of guy his parents would want him to be with; so he was confident they would come around quick.

“Blaine, you need to remember to breathe. My dad might look tough but he's a big teddy bear... okay no, that's probably pushing it but, fuck! What I'm trying to say is: it's gonna be okay!” Kurt muttered.

Blaine smiled affection at Kurt. “I believe you... let's do this.” Blaine took hold of Kurt's hand as they stepped inside of the garage.

“Dad, we're here!” Kurt called out while searching for Burt's familiar figure.

Burt stepped out from behind a car a moment later, walking over to where the pair was standing. “‘Bout freaking time,” he commented.

Of course Burt wouldn't make things easy for his son and while Kurt deserved it, Blaine certainly didn't. There was a weird tension surrounding them as well but fuck it; Kurt refused to run from an awkward situation this time.

“Dad, this is Blaine Anderson, my boyfriend,” Kurt began as he gave Blaine's hand a gentle squeeze in support. Boyfriend, the word felt so strange on his tongue but unlike with Sebastian, this time it wasn't a lie.

True to Blaine's polite nature he channeled through any lingering fear so he could step forward to shake Burt's hand. “Hi there, as Kurt just said I'm Blaine, and it's nice to meet you... even if I'm kind of nervous still... but this all feels oddly right to me….” Blaine started to babble. “Oh, I'm sorry... I'm rambling! The first thing you should know about me Burt, is that I can never shut up!”

“That's good for Kurt then 'cause he needs to stop being so damn quiet. He never use to be,” Burt replied.

Kurt rolled his eyes at the remark; fine to remain a silent spectator for a moment longer so Blaine and Burt could finish their introduction. Blaine was doing wonderfully already; no surprise there and he hoped there would be no drama to come.

Burt already found Blaine's honesty a nice contrast to the different 'boyfriend' Kurt had brought for him to meet. But unlike with Sebastian it was clear that neither his son nor this new guy was lying. Not with how the pair kept glancing at one another with obvious and very large heart eyes. But he still eyed Blaine with suspicion. He wanted to like the kid, but he was worried that Kurt was jumping into a relationship too soon. And one that looked pretty serious. It wasn't his place to voice his concern to Kurt, who was an adult and could find out one way or the other on his own.

“So this is the real deal? No hoax?” Burt asked warily.

Kurt wasn't so disillusioned with love that he thought there wouldn't be bumps along the road. Because Kurt was still very much the man he had been the day before. Only now he was looking forward to the future and what would change from having Blaine in his life. It was easy for Kurt to answer his father’s questions and be convincing.

“Yes Dad, Blaine's the real deal alright. It can't get any realer than this; he's a keeper,” Kurt said with affection. Blaine smiled back at him.

“That's good to know,” Blaine replied playfully at Kurt.

“Kay good, because I don't think my heart can take anymore surprises, alright? So to avoid that from happening, I wanna know what you two are planning to do now? I know you guys just got together Kurt, but we had a deal, remember? How your Mom and I get you for another twelve days?” Burt said.

Kurt had been expecting this and so he and Blaine had talked about it at lengths that morning. “Don't worry about it Dad, I won't disappear now that I have a boyfriend all of a sudden. Blaine is conveniently from Dover. Though it's still about as far away from Lima you can get and still be in Ohio,” Kurt started to ramble. “But Blaine and I have decided we're sticking around and will split the remainder of the break between our two home towns. So I'll still be here but not as much if I were on my own.”

Blaine was quick to show just how in sync he and Kurt already where when he decided to join the conversation. “We're going to stay here in Lima for the rest of the week and then go spend a few days in Dover. Then we'll swing back here before we both head back to SFS so Kurt can have a proper goodbye with you and Carole.”

The fact that Blaine had cared to learn his wife's name was another plus in the young man's favour and Burt nodded. “Okay, that sounds like a fair compromise to me. It looks like you two have it all figured out. But when you're staying here will that be at home or in a hotel?”

Kurt glanced at Blaine; that was one thing they hadn't talked about yet. “Oh, um... I'm not sure... Blaine?” He asked helplessly.

But Blaine wasn't any better off with coming up with a good answer. “I, uh... that is... Kurt and I haven't really discussed...”

“There's no need for you to keep your distance. Sure a hotel is more private but it's a big waste of money. Blaine's welcome to say in your old room with you Kurt. As long as you remember our talk from before...”

Confused, Blaine leaned in closer to Kurt and whispered in his ear, “Do I wanna know?”

Kurt simply shook his head.

Burt had a point; hotels, at least ones good enough for Kurt to stay in, weren't cheap. Even though Kurt wasn't lacking in funds he didn't think it would be so bad to stay at home. If anything Kurt knew Blaine would know how to keep quiet at night. He never wanted his dad to bring up details about his sex life ever again.

“Alright then, Blaine and I will humbly accept your offer and I promise we'll both be on our best behaviour.”

Ever the planner, Kurt already thought of what would be a good scenario for Blaine's first real chance to spend time with his parents. “So when it comes to tonight... do either of you have any ideas what we all should do?” Kurt asked.

Burt was already way ahead of his son for once, “Well... it's Friday night so why don't we sit down to a quiet dinner at home? Because there's one tradition I've really missed, Kurt.”

With his walls still down Kurt had to fight to keep himself from becoming overly emotional. The very thought that Burt wanted Blaine to join them for a Friday night family dinner, something he had once described as being scared, meant so much to him.

“I'd like that, Dad,” Kurt struggled to reply, “and I've missed them too.”
________________________________________________________________________

“Well that went very well Blaine and you have only yourself to thank for that,” Kurt chimed as he and Blaine walked into his bedroom.

Blaine smiled at Kurt's praise. He started to undo the collar and the top two buttons of his dress shirt. Dinner had gone well and Blaine was proud he hadn't gotten too nervous at any point. Blaine had still worried he'd gone overboard with his attempts to charm Kurt's parents. Especially when he noticed Burt's resistance. Carole was a delight and it wasn't long before they were chattering away like long time friends. Burt was another matter though and Blaine wasn't so sure if he'd really won him over yet.

“Really? I wasn't so sure with your dad… he seemed sort of... stand offish to me...” Blaine admitted to Kurt.

“You picked up on that too huh?” Kurt asked as draped his arms over Blaine’s shoulders.

“It was hard not to... I could tell he doesn't have any real aversion to me... but he was...” Blaine struggled as he tried to think of the proper word to describe Burt's mood during dinner.

“He was wary of you because of the whole Sebastian fiasco. He wants to like you and I know he does... but not completely. Not yet anyway. If I had brought you home first then he would have given into your charm right at the start. But because of what happened before... he's... unsure?” Kurt tried to explain. “Fuck it! I don't know what the hell he's thinking really and I don't want to ask him either!”

“I'm not asking you to... I just wish I knew what to do about it...” Blaine said.

Kurt let out a tired sigh and kissed Blaine softly on the mouth. “That makes the two of us.”

Of course Blaine had heard all about Sebastian’s devious plan and what it had entailed straight from Kurt. He had assured Kurt that he was okay with it and he was, truly, but Kurt's choosing Lima was still tough to accept. When the subject had resurfaced, Blaine wasn't bouncing back so easily as before. He knew that Kurt loved him but it was still hard to ignore that Kurt had chose to present Sebastian as boyfriend over Blaine, even if it was nothing but a lie.

As Kurt studied Blaine's features he got the sinking feeling he knew what his boyfriend was fretting over. Blaine’s normally cheerful face had fallen and his woeful eyes were making Kurt feel increasingly irritable.

“Blaine, don't you fucking start comparing yourself to Sebastian!” Kurt snapped.

Blaine pulled himself away from Kurt and stopped a short distance away. “That's easier said than done, Kurt,” he threw back.

Kurt knew remaining calm in a situation like this was key, so he stopped pacing and sat down on the edge of the bed. What he needed to do was be clear to Blaine; it was time to act more honest and ask the hard questions.

“It hurt... when I told you how I chose to run from you... didn't it?” Kurt asked Blaine softly.

“Kurt...” Blaine still hesitated. He didn't want to hurt Kurt's feelings.

“Please tell me the truth Blaine...” Kurt coaxed.

There was no way Blaine could resist Kurt's request. He took a seat beside him on the bed to start. “Yes... it did hurt... how couldn't it? I know the reasons why you did it and I'm glad you told me. But hearing them didn't make it any easier... I wanted to be the first boyfriend you'd bring home to meet your parents. I know Sebastian wasn't your actual boyfriend and you don't have any romantic feelings for him... but...”

“But what Blaine?” Kurt urged.

Blaine pushed up from the bed and waved his hands around for a moment before giving Kurt any possible answer. “I feel like Sebastian is still here in this room and that he'll continue to be around... no matter where we go. Like he's some obnoxious ghost bent on haunting me forever... whispering things like 'I fucked him first' or 'You have his heart but you'll always be second best' or even 'You'll never surpass my talents in bed with him' and I can't shut him out!” Blaine exclaimed.

“Blaine, that's bullshit!”

“I know it is! That's my whole problem!”

Blaine paced around in annoyance. “But I still can't stop thinking about how he's been in this room. I'm not an idiot either because I know you two had a ton of sex in here too. Then I start thinking about all the sex you've had in your apartment and god knows where else. It's already starting to mess with my head and make me start doubting things... and that is the last thing I want to do! I trust you Kurt, I love you and I know you love me too... but... Sebastian and what you two were to each other, even if it was just fuck buddies and not boyfriends... it won't go away!”

“Sebastian sure doesn't make things easier for us anymore! Look what he's doing when he's not even here!” Blaine snapped.

Kurt was at a total loss though he knew getting angry wasn't the answer. “I don't know what to say or do to make you feel better about any of this Blaine. At least nothing that's different from what I've already told you. I wish I did! Fuck! I hate myself for not being brave enough to choose you from the start. When I look back on how I dealt with my feelings for you, I can think of so many times I made the worst possible choice. If I was the only one who suffered from those mistakes then it would be okay but—”

“No it wouldn't,” Blaine cut him off. “I don't want to see you suffer either Kurt. So don't you dare become a martyr for my sake.”

“Yeah it’s pretty pathetic,” Kurt admitted weakly.

The tell tale signs of Kurt throwing himself a pity party were very visible to Blaine. Right from Kurt's meek body language, to his sad droopy eyes. Blaine shook his head at the sight of him. The normally confident Kurt Hummel was nowhere to be found. Blaine returned to Kurt's side and got on the bed so he could pull Kurt to sit in his lap.

“It looks my first real job as your boyfriend Kurt, is that I need to make you realize what a wonderful man you are. You have value, you're not broken, bruised yes but that's understandable after what you had to face. But you're not alone this time... I'm here and I'd like to think that makes a difference.”

Kurt rested his forehead against Blaine's chest. He took a moment to let those lovely words sink in. “It does... you do... more than you could ever imagine, Blaine,” Kurt whispered.

Blaine wrapped his arms tight around Kurt's body, holding him close as Kurt snuggled into his warm embrace. “It's going to take time for the both of us to get the hang of being a couple Kurt. You're not the only one who's bringing emotional baggage into the relationship either. I have deep running insecurities... ones I usually hide from people... because of course I have walls too. Barriers that you pass right through and I'm glad for that, because it means you can reach a part of me that no one else has,” Blaine told him softly.

Kurt closed his eyes as Blaine slowly started to rock them back and forth, he felt like a coddled child but he needed this. Letting the feeling of being safely in Blaine's arms wash over him and give such courage he never thought relying on another person could bring. But Blaine was focusing too much on Kurt's needs and forgot about his own fears in consequence.

“Blaine, while it's true Sebastian and I shared a lot when it came to our bodies. There were still many things we didn't experience. Though amazingly intimacy was one we did... but only once. It was getting weird for us... it was becoming too routine. If things hadn't turned out they way they did... I think Sebastian and I would have reached our breaking point very soon. I could never love anyone, not even him, like the way I've come to care for you, Blaine.”

“I know... and I'm not disputing that...” Blaine said.

Kurt wasn't enjoying how Blaine ignored his touching speech. He sat upright so he could look his boyfriend right in the eye and his expression was very direct.

“Blaine, it's true that Sebastian has a lot of my sexual firsts... but they're not worth shit,” Kurt said.

Amazingly Blaine managed to laugh from Kurt's use of profanity; the tension broke between them. Sometimes brutal honesty was the best way to go when someone wasn't listening.

“I love you so much, Kurt,” Blaine gushed.

Kurt and Blaine brought their heads together at the same time so they could share a loving kiss. Blaine's hand gently came to grasp the bottom of Kurt's chin as they continued to kiss one another. But when the wonderful moment stopped the couple knew they couldn't actually smooch their troubles away.

“This is going to take a while to overcome isn't it?” Blaine said.

“It probably will; all of it... knowing my track record. But things will be different this time. No more running, no more lies... this is the real thing Blaine. It could only be you, there's no one else who could win my heart over. Because you're the one who brought it back from near death...” Kurt placed Blaine's hand to rest on his chest over his heart.

Kurt let out an awkward laugh, “Fuck, will I ever start sounding romantic? Because whenever I hear myself I sound so fucking corny it's sheer agony!”

Blaine chuckled at Kurt's antics. He was far too adorable for his own good at times. Blaine had always thought that Kurt radiated sex appeal but the fact that he could also be as cute as a button without warning was a fun discovery. Blaine hugged Kurt tightly with so much force they fell back on the bed together.

“You're a natural romantic Kurt, who knew?” Blaine teased.

“I sure didn't,” Kurt smirked.
________________________________________________________________________

Eventually it reached the point where the boys’ sexual attraction for one another could no longer be held back; no matter how many parents were in the house. If Burt himself was standing at the door neither Kurt nor Blaine could have stopped. Nothing like that ended up happening though.

Confident that there would be no awkward scene with his dad in the morning, Kurt was content to lay back with his hands placed behind his head. While Blaine's chin rested on Kurt's stomach as he ran his finger along Kurt's chest until it trailed down to where his burn scar was located. Blaine kissed the small red burn mark softly which caused Kurt to sharply inhale but it was obvious he was enjoying the soft caress.

Kurt kept his body still as he watched Blaine begin to outline the three letters that formed his tattoo next.

“You know... it's true what they say about tattoos,” Kurt paused for Blaine.

“What do they say?” Blaine asked. He was happy to oblige.

“That you should choose them wisely or you could live to regret it,” Kurt finished.

“Do you regret getting it done?”

“Sort of...” Kurt admitted. He brought his right arm and ran his fingers through Blaine's thick curly hair. “But that's mainly because I'm not so sure I want to live by that motto anymore.”

“So no more; never look back, never give a fuck then?” Blaine asked teasingly.

Since Blaine couldn't see his face Kurt didn't bother to roll his eyes and bopped the end of Blaine's nose with his finger instead. “Not exactly... how can I word this properly?” Kurt began until he realized Blaine's hand had made its way to his groin and he frowned.

“Could you stop touching my dick right now while I'll trying to sound remotely normal here,” Kurt playfully batted Blaine's hands away.

Blaine made no attempts to push his luck and he kissed Kurt’s favourite spot on his neck as an apology.

“You were saying, baby?” Blaine said.

“I can't erase the bad parts of my life and just never look back on them. Because those experiences shaped into the man I am today. If they had never happened then I doubt I would have met you Blaine. Sebastian's right, sorry but considering how wrapped he is in our story, I think we should both admit he won't be far away. I do care about people. I'm not the loner I was trying so hard to become. I have feelings for you Blaine and for Sebastian even. So I figure why bother to fight it anymore? Because sometimes I do want to give a fuck,” Kurt explained. Kurt saw Blaine smirk at him and he rolled his eyes. “Not as in sex you goof! Not with anyone but you from now on.”

Blaine knew Kurt wasn't really annoyed with his teasing but he decided to let up just to be safe. “Sorry Kurt... I was just checking,” he said as he kissed Kurt's cheek lightly.

“Good.”

Blaine quickly responded when Kurt started to kiss his lips and soon the couple was enjoying another lazy make out session.

“You know... you only got the initials and not the whole phrase so you had enough sense there,” Blaine pointed out. “Because NLB could mean something else if people ask you what it stands for.”

“See how you're already being useful? Good job Blaine,” Kurt cooed.

“I try.”

Kurt was still left with the job of coming up with an alternative motto and he spent a while brainstorming until he finally thought of a good one. “Okay, I think I've got it now,” Kurt chimed with pride a short while later.

“I'm listening...” Blaine urged when Kurt made no attempts to go on and tell him what it could possibly be.

Kurt rolled Blaine over so he was lying on top of his boyfriend who was obviously growing impatient by this point. To humour him a bit Kurt took some time to kiss and stroke Blaine's body until his cock was showing sings of stirring.

Blaine couldn't take it anymore. “Would you please just tell me before we have sex again,” he pleaded with a silly laugh.

Kurt smiled and ran his thumb over Blaine’s bottom lip. “Never leave Blaine,” he whispered before kissing him.
________________________________________________________________________

Contrary to what Blaine and Kurt might have thought, time kept on moving even for them and soon they were at back in the Bay Area once more. Free from Ohio and any family obligations, though their time back home was still enjoyable in the long run. Even places as dull as Lima and Dover were almost exciting when you had the right person to fight boredom with. Coming back to San Francisco and Kurt's apartment meant there was one individual who wouldn't be far away for much longer.

Kurt opened the door to the apartment he shared with Sebastian and warily stepped inside with Blaine close behind him. At first glance there was no sign of his roommate but that meant nothing as Kurt had learned many times before.

“Do you think he's here?” Blaine asked as he stepped into the room and put down Kurt's suitcases.

“It's too soon to tell, but at least he's not having sex out here,” Kurt answered.

The couple had talked at long lengths during their journey home about Kurt's current living arrangements, and if they should change. Right from the start Blaine had assured that it was Kurt's decision if he wanted to move out or not. He trusted Kurt and while the same could not be said for Sebastian, he wasn't worried because Kurt could handle their insufferable friend better than anyone else. While it was still true that the dynamic between the three of them had changed dramatically with Kurt and Blaine together. As long as the new arrangement, whatever it turned out to be, didn't include too much angst then Blaine was hopeful he could manage better this time.

“I'll go check your room to see if it's also Sebastian free,” Blaine bounded off to begin his search.

While Blaine went off to investigate his room Kurt figured he could bravely go and check to see if Sebastian's was occupied or not. He doubted Sebastian was somewhere in the apartment having sex since it was too quiet. So either Sebastian was intentionally hiding from them or he wasn't in the place at all. Kurt pushed opened the door and instantly discovered it was void of its owner and surprisingly full of luggage.

“Seriously you haven't found the time to unpack yet?” Kurt muttered in surprise.

“What did you say, baby?” Blaine walked back into the front room, thinking Sebastian was in the apartment.

“It's nothing, Sebastian isn't here... I was just commenting on how he hasn't found the time to unpack his stuff in the last two weeks,” Kurt explained.

Blaine made sure not startle Kurt as he came up from behind and closed the door to Sebastian's bedroom. Blaine swaggered over to Kurt as he gave his boyfriend the best bedroom eyes he could manage, which were quite smouldering.

If Blaine's come-hither expression wasn't enough of a clue, then his hand slipping down the back of Kurt's pants was anything but subtle.

“Already?” Kurt laughed.

Blaine beamed at Kurt and he started to nibble on Kurt's neck, causing him to moan in response. Kurt grabbed the back of Blaine's neck with his hands and kissed him full on the mouth. Blaine pressed the front of his body against Kurt's as their arms became entwined around their waists.

Kurt was so focused on what Blaine was doing with his tongue that he didn't realize they were slowly making their way to the couch until his legs hit the back of it. Blaine it seemed, was more aware when he flopped down and pulled Kurt to lie on top of him.

“Wouldn't the bedroom be a safer bet?” Kurt pointed out though he made no attempts to stop.

Blaine growled in protest and went so far as to flip them around so Blaine was the one on top. Since Kurt made no attempts to break free and he wasn't voicing any disapproval either, Blaine went back to sucking on Kurt's neck.

It wasn't that Kurt was against the idea of having sex on the couch or anything. It was just Kurt knew when it came to his roommate Sebastian had an uncanny trait of showing up at the worst possible time. Knowing his luck, Sebastian would come through the door right when they were on the cusp of orgasm.

“Have it your way then,” Kurt sighed.

“Shh, I'm a man with a mission here,” Blaine murmured after he finished giving Kurt yet another hickey.

“Which is?” Kurt gasped when Blaine slipped his hand down the front of his jeans.

“I finally figured out a good way to deal with how much sex you and Sebastian have had in this apartment—”

“Why are you getting so worked up over that?” Kurt interrupted.

Blaine let go of Kurt's cock and frowned, “Hey, it's not like I can help it! My mind just goes there. But if you'd let me finish, you'd know what my brilliant solution is already and your cock would be in my mouth by now.”

As much as Kurt usually enjoyed Blaine’s more bossy side, he was wanted to get to the good part and start having sex. Whether it was on the couch or in his room.

“I'm listening,” Kurt said.

“The answer is, we're just going to have a ton of sex here until we top your number with Sebastian. But don't tell me what the final count is because sometimes it's better not to know every detail,” Blaine explained.

“I've told you endless times, I never kept track,” Kurt reminded Blaine.

“It's still going to take a lot of work and determination. Ready for it, Kurt?” Blaine taunted, albeit playfully.

Kurt didn't bat and eye when Blaine started to move his hips to cause enough friction between their touching groins for it to be felt. Nor did Kurt hold anything back as he started to stroke the sides of Blaine's body and kiss his lips aggressively at the same time.

“We certainly had more sex in Ohio Blaine, so I think we can manage,” Kurt said in his lower register.

If there was one thing that Blaine could never resist it was when Kurt's voice got all deep and throaty. Blaine made quick work undoing Kurt's fly and he had every plan to follow through on his word on giving his boyfriend a blowjob.

But it was never wise for Kurt and Blaine to forget Sebastian and his knack for perfect timing for long. But the hot and heavy couple was at least alerted to his return when they both heard the click of the front door unlocking.

“Shit, why the fuck does he need to come home now?” Kurt cried out in frustration.

“Could be worse, we're still fully clothed and not too far along. Haven't even started blowing you yet,” Blaine pointed out.

The news was hardly comforting to Kurt, but then he wasn't about to shoot up from the couch and away from Blaine like they were doing something wrong. Considering how many times Kurt had walked in on Sebastian's sexual escapades this was nothing. So when the door did finally open the pair had already gone back to making out and where fine to ignore him.

“And this is where it starts,” Sebastian said as soon as he caught sight of the couple locking lips on the couch. His second response was to let out a tired sigh and then he went onto shake his head in disapproval, “Is this going to be usual thing from now on?”

It was tempting to keep ignoring Sebastian but if they were to do that for much longer there was no telling what he would do to retaliate. So Blaine rolled off of Kurt and casually came to sit beside his boyfriend on the couch.

“Probably,” Blaine replied cheekily.

“Oh hi there Sebastian, I barely notice you come in,” Kurt chimed as he zipped up his fly without batting an eye.

Sebastian shrugged, a classic signal that he was in no mood to argue. “Then it's a good thing I won't be around to see it,” he called and headed off into his bedroom.

Before the confused twosome could ask Sebastian what he meant, the man came back out of his room with two large suitcases in tow.

Kurt's mouth fell open as Sebastian headed towards the front door without comment and he quickly stood up to block his roommate’s path.

“Where the fuck are you going all of a sudden? School starts in two days so it's bad idea to go off somewhere at the last minute like this.”

“Didn't you hear what I just said? How I wouldn't be around to see you two acting like an old married couple already. That means I'm leaving for much longer than two days,” Sebastian said nonchalantly.

“Where the fuck are you going?” Kurt demanded.

“What's it to you?” Sebastian asked.

But Kurt wasn't about to take the bait; he wanted answers. “Does the idea of having a roommate with a boyfriend disgust you so much that you need to bail?”

“Nice try Kurt, but we all know you're going to move in with Blaine,” Sebastian countered.

“Actually Sebastian, Kurt and I aren't moving in together yet.. it's too soon for that. Though it's true I will be around a whole lot more now that we're a couple. But I thought that you of all people could learn to cope,” Blaine said.

“Sebastian...” Kurt began, deciding to forgo anger and take a shot at honesty to see if that would fair better, “what the fuck are you trying to pull here? Are you honestly leaving or is this just another game and those suitcases you're holding are empty?”

“Oh these babies are full of my personal belongings though you can believe me or not. Either way I can't linger here to amuse you two for much longer. I have a flight to catch... because the world doesn't revolve around you, Kurt,” Sebastian said in his usual smug tone.

“Where are you going?” Blaine asked. Still hardly believing what was going on.

“I'm bound for London Blaine, be sure to write,” Sebastian answered with a wink.

“As in London, Ontario or London, England?” Kurt spoke up.

“England of course and the first thing I'm gonna do when I get there is buy you boys a proper globe,” Sebastian teased.

“Seriously Sebastian, stop with the jokes, are you really moving to the UK?” Kurt demanded.

“‘Fraid so Kurt, so try not to miss me too much,” Sebastian replied.

Was it crazy or did Kurt actually believe Sebastian? Accepting his claims as truth didn't make the newly enraged young man want to relax.

“You fucking bastard! Did you ever stop and think how this would affect me? What, now you can't fuck us anymore we're no longer worth your time? Is that it?” Kurt snapped.

“Are you leaving because of us?” Blaine questioned.

“I'm going for myself. I applied for an exchange program abroad way before I met the both of you. If you were to stop and think about it Blaine, I bet you know the one I'm talking about. Where you get to spend the first school term at a top notch theatre program in London?”

“Oh yeah right, I remember Nick complaining to me when he didn't get accepted. But that was months ago... you're the one who got it?” Blaine asked in surprise. From Blaine's memory the results had come out right before exams so it was understandable that he'd been too distracted to hear who'd won the competitive position.

“I did indeed and I never doubted it for a second. Now I'm bound for jolly old England and where I plan to make quite the first impression. So no, I'm not leaving because you two finally admitted your feelings for each other, which I played a big hand in before you go and forget it. But I will admit it's a nice perk because big changes need to happen from now on. It would be stupid if it didn't and I can tell you two are already starting to outgrow me. So no thanks, I have no desire to watch you two start acting like newlyweds,” Sebastian said.

“So what, that's it then? You were planning to leave without telling me? I'd just suddenly become homeless without any warning?” Kurt hissed.

Sebastian held his finger up in warning and waved it side to side like an adult scolding a child. “Oh Kurt, you're always so quick to think the worst of me. If you'd gone into your bedroom instead of groping Blaine on the couch then you would have found the touching note I left you. If you had then you would already know that I'm not kicking you out at all. It's in my best interest if you stay because I was in need of a house sitter,” he explained.

Kurt frowned at the thought. Was that why Sebastian had let Kurt move in in the first place? But Kurt wasn't about to ask him outright because god knew what he'd give as an answer.

“Just leave my room as it is, keep the place clean and don't turn it into yours and Blaine's love-nest and we're all set. My share of the rent is all paid up and the bank account info for your share is covered in the letter. No freeloading, Kurt,” Sebastian finished.

Kurt opened his mouth, only to close it back shut because he was at a loss for words. Shouting at Sebastian in this instance would be pointless and wouldn't stop him from leaving. Besides, it wasn't like Kurt needed him to stay and Sebastian's life was his own.

“I cannot believe you sometimes,” Kurt said in reply.

Sebastian laughed, “You're welcome... but don't you get all weepy on me now Kurt, you too Blaine. I'll be back in the New Year for the second term so you won't be fully rid of me yet.”

“Too bad,” Kurt taunted with obvious sarcasm.

Blaine came to stand in front of Sebastian and his expression almost looked remorseful. “I'm actually going to miss you, Sebastian,” he admitted.

Sebastian stepped forward to accept Blaine's hug goodbye and he looked over at Kurt smugly as he did. “Shh Blaine, not in front of Kurt, we can do some sexting later,” he said with a wink.

Kurt rolled his eyes at the weak taunt since the three of them knew Sebastian was just messing around and he was hardly trying. On some small level Kurt knew he'd probably miss Sebastian as well, however little. Sebastian's throwaway comment about how Kurt and Blaine might outgrow him someday could possibly happen. But Kurt doubted Sebastian would ever be truly removed from their lives.

“When's your flight?” Kurt asked.

Sebastian glanced at his phone, “In two hours, which is still plenty of time but I want to get there nice and early to avoid any stress.”

Right when Kurt was about to offer Sebastian his own farewell, or at least as best as he could manage, Sebastian returned back to where Kurt was still standing in total surprise.

“Wait, there was one more thing I wanted to run by you before I go.”

Blaine wasn't as use to dealing with Sebastian as regularly as Kurt so he had no idea what to expect. “I'm almost afraid to ask... but what is it?” he questioned cautiously.

“Back when I was slumming in Ohio I got invited to this killer party just outside of Dover and one individual there really stood out against the rest. He started hitting on me the second I arrived and I believe you're familiar with him Kurt, goes by the name Travis?”

Kurt's bored look of indifference instantly wiped from his face as he turned pale from shock. Just hearing that name triggered a near panic in him and he couldn't stop himself from reacting to it.

“No... there's no fucking way it was him,” Kurt stammered in disbelieve.

“No, I'm quite certain it's the same guy... anyway, one thing lead to another and while you two were busy having sex last night, I ended up meeting him at this bar called Scandals,” Sebastian continued.

Kurt knew that bar, it was located in West Lima and it was somewhere he had never gone. There was no way in hell he would have since Travis was a regular there. “If you hooked up with him Sebastian, then so help me!” Kurt hissed, though he couldn't even finish the threat.

“Have a look for yourself to see what happened after that,” Sebastian urged as he held out his cell for Kurt to take.

On reflex Blaine stepped up in front of Kurt and snatched the phone out of Sebastian's hand before he could move away. Blaine didn't like how Kurt looked ever since Travis's name was mentioned and he hated Sebastian for putting him through it and for what?

“You can be such a selfish prick at times but this is low even for you!” Blaine snapped. Blaine hurried over to Kurt's side next, offering any support he could by keeping close. “Want me to delete whatever is on here, Kurt?” He asked softly.

Kurt shook his head. He was better than this and he refused to let some worthless asshole rule his life five years later. “No, thank you Blaine, but I want to see it with my own eyes. Show me,” Kurt assured.

With their faces close together, Blaine clicked on the screen and the first image that came up rendered the pair dumbstruck.

“Holy shit!” Kurt swore.

There was no denying whose face was in the first photo, though Kurt could barely recognize it at first. Which probably had to do with the fact that his face was full of cock, but it was the same Travis all right.

“I can't believe you fucked him, Sebastian,” Blaine muttered. “You know what he did to Kurt!” He added as his temper started to rise.

With each new photo Kurt started to notice there was a common trend between the lot; how they all showed Travis in a unflattering light. In fact they looked downright pornographic and not in a good way. 'He looks so cheap and trampy,' Kurt thought to himself. 'Like a total...' but Kurt couldn't even think the word that came to mind, let alone say it out-loud. But he knew the reason why Sebastian had gone for Travis and had hooked up with him.

“This is payback isn't it?” Kurt asked Sebastian. “You fucked him so you could punish him for what he did to me.”

Blaine blinked in surprise. “How exactly does fucking him turn into payback?”

“Sebastian's going to leak the photos on the Internet. Why else would he have carefully made sure none of the shots show his own face,” Kurt explained.

Sebastian grinned at Kurt in approval. “I think it's fine time Travis has a dose of his own medicine. Where we can all sit back and see how he takes it. Just say the word and I'll do it Kurt. He was a horrible lay too, a complete push over,” Sebastian added.

Revenge hardly ever turned out the way people wanted it to and Kurt knew getting even wouldn't make what he had gone through any easy to deal with. He'd much rather have Blaine help him in that area. Just the idea of Kurt lowering himself to Travis's level made him feel sick to his stomach and that was the deciding factor.

“He'll know you did it. What if he tries to get even?” Kurt asked Sebastian.

Sebastian shrugged in response. “I'd like to see him try,” he replied smugly.

“It's your call Kurt,” Blaine said.

Since it was Kurt's rightful decision to make he took the phone from Blaine and set to deleting every single photo until Travis's offensive face was gone for good. “He's not worth my time and I was through with him five years ago,” Kurt announced in a haughty voice.

Blaine's face scrunched up with affection and he gave his boyfriend an approving kiss on the cheek. “That's my boy.”

Sebastian was also impressed with Kurt's rising above the person who had hurt him the most, though he would never admit it to anyone. “Oh well, at least I tried,” Sebastian said with a tired sigh.

No matter how twisted the gesture might have been, Kurt still felt obliged to voice a sense of gratitude for the act. Though it was hardly selfless because even if Travis was weak in the sack, Kurt knew Sebastian would have made the most of it. “I would thank you somehow but that might be going too far... even for us,” Kurt remarked.

“There's no need. It's time we both grow up Kurt. You got the guy of your dreams and we both knew that it was never going to be me,” Sebastian said.

Kurt smirked, “Thank fucking god for that!”

Never having friends meant that Sebastian usually didn't need to deal with any long goodbyes. He still didn't want to, no matter how much he'd come to care about the men before him. Sebastian wasn't about to change for the likes of them, because he still thought there was no point in altering perfection.

Sebastian looked over at Blaine maliciously, “Mind if I give your boyfriend one last kiss for old time sakes?”

Normally Blaine's answer would have been an instant rejection but he was in a gracious mood, so he nodded. “If Kurt's okay with it then sure, but no tongue,” Blaine warned.

The request was swiftly ignored as Sebastian closed in on Kurt's face and kissed him full on the mouth. While the kiss was anything but chaste Kurt didn't response to it and simply allowed it to happen. Once it was over Kurt shook his head and pushed Sebastian back until he was a safe distance away.

“Thanks but no thanks, there will be no more threesomes for us, Sebastian, so don't bother on asking,” Kurt chimed.

“As long as you promise me one thing, Kurt,” Sebastian replied.

Kurt felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand up from the odd tone in Sebastian voice and he clamped his hands onto Blaine's arm for moral support. “We'll see...”

Ever the performer, Sebastian put his acting talents to work as he built the right ambiance to reveal his sudden request. He came to stand before the couple as his usual smile of confidence formed across his handsome face.

“I'm going to be a big star. Film, television, Broadway, Modeling; I'm gonna do it all. It may take a few years but it's going to happen, mark my words, boys. So when I have my first red carpeted event... I want you to make my suit for it, Kurt,” Sebastian explained.

Blaine managed to keep himself quiet during the touching display but he still gasped in response. Now beaming, Blaine rubbed the Kurt's shoulders while his boyfriend tried to recover from the request.

Kurt reeled backwards at first, hardly believing what he had just heard, but he was quick to bounce back and outstretch his hand to Sebastian in offering. “It's a deal!” He declared.

“A gentleman's agreement; no take backs,” Sebastian added.

“I, Blaine Devon Anderson, have born witness to this promise and approve of it as well,” Blaine said playfully.

They shook on it. The promise now made and where hopefully it would hold true one day. All that remained was for the three men to say their goodbyes.

“Well Sebastian, have a safe journey I guess...” Blaine said as he walked over and went up on tiptoe so he could give the taller man a quick peck on the lips.

Kurt figured he should probably say something but everything that came to mind sounded too corny to him. “Enjoy the tight ass in London,” Kurt chose to say instead of going with the sincere approach.

Which was the perfect thing for Kurt to say to Sebastian and he slapped Kurt hard on the ass in thanks. “Oh I intend to, just you wait. I'll send photos then too. Guess I'll head off now. Enjoy your domestic bliss while I'm gone. 'Cause you can say that you guys are planning to keep some space all you like but Blaine is gonna end up living here right from the start,” Sebastian said.

“You're probably right,” Kurt admitted.

“Don't I get a say in this?” Blaine joked.

“Hmm? What was that, Blaine?” Kurt chimed.

“You two are making me wanna hurl so that's my cue to go,” Sebastian muttered as he grabbed his luggage and made a break for the front door. “Try not to get married while I'm gone.”

“Bite me!” Kurt shouted at him as he walked out the door.

But Kurt's signature catch phrase ended up falling on deaf ears because Sebastian was gone and had left only an opened door in his wake. Kurt gave up his attempts to get the last word, closed the door shut and return back to Blaine's side. He felt a little emotionally worn out but Kurt fully intended to continue where they had left off.

“Do you think he's telling the truth for once?” Blaine asked.

“It's a crazy thought but yes. This isn't one of his usual schemes,” Kurt answered without a doubt.

Blaine's mind was reeling at the implications. “I guess this means Sebastian is heading off to start his own soul searching.”

Kurt snorted, “Yeah right, he hasn't matured that much.”

Now that they were finally alone and where there was absolutely no chance of Sebastian appearing at the worst moment, there was the couple's physical desires to see to. Kurt already was feeling quite horny for his handsome boyfriend and judging by Blaine's saucy grin, he was the same boat.

“Now...” Kurt purred as he advanced on Blaine and slipped his arms around his waist, “Where were we?”

The art of seduction was back on track and Blaine kissed Kurt eagerly the second they came together. Blaine led them towards Kurt's bedroom door as they swiftly got into the swing of things.

“You were going to let me make love to you, over and over, for the whole day,” Blaine said in a hungry voice.

The shudder that was produced from Blaine’s tone made Kurt shake all over and he couldn't bare to wait any longer. “That sounds like fun,” Kurt admitted.

Blaine and Kurt laughed merrily together during the short sprint to Kurt's bedroom, where they were quick to disrobe one another. Enjoying the connection of physical contact brought forth in their demanding bodies. For once Kurt was glad that things were changing because for the first time in his troublesome life, it was amazingly all positive.

But before Blaine would give his full attention to Kurt's deliciously naked body, there was one last thing he needed to bring up. “So do you think this new deal with Sebastian will pay back everything we owe him?” Blaine asked.

Kurt, whose head was currently resting in the dip between Blaine's back and shoulder, started to laugh uncontrollably. “No!” Kurt wheeze from the effort to speak. “But it's a start,” he added.

------------------------------------------------------

Epilogue

The chance for Kurt to honour his deal with Sebastian took another five years but in that time he had almost repaid his debt, almost. The friends were far from even but Kurt had long accepted he could never fully repay him. All the twenty-six-year-old could do at this point was try to live with the fact and see to his own life.

Which was something Kurt was currently doing as he sat upon a couch in his lavish apartment with a bucket of popcorn on his lap. His eyes were transfixed on the screen of his television, intently watching a celebrity gossip show that was covering a movie premier event. That was something Kurt hardly had any time to indulge himself with, not since his clothing brand was just starting to slowly take off. But he still had a long way to go until he would become a household name.

Kurt scanned the crowd for one actor in particular, the same one the television audience, premier attendees and press were all waiting for, Sebastian Smythe. The hot new break out celebrity and also the star of the movie. The fact that Sebastian had made quite the name for himself in show business still made Kurt feel bitterly envious at times. But when Sebastian was wearing a Kurt Hummel original to the event, he was willing to let it all slide. Despite the fact that it would put him further in Sebastian's debt but Kurt hoped it would be worth it in the end.

When it came to his life, Kurt had nothing to complain about because amazingly things were going very well. Though there was one important part of his happy little life that was currently MIA.

“Honey! Get your ass in here you're going to miss everything!” Kurt yelled.

“Be there in a sec! I'm nearly done!” a familiar voice called back a moment later.

Kurt rolled his eyes in amusement. What in the world was he up to? Knowing his significant other, it was probably something adorable. True to Kurt's assumptions; the man in question came strolling into the living room decked out in a full black tuxedo. Looking far too formal for a watching a TV show at home, but such surprises were common place by now.

“Blaine, what in the world...” Kurt started to laugh and was unable to finish the question.

Blaine strutted towards the couch, runway style. Acting just like he was one of Kurt's models and he was wearing one of the suits Kurt had made him to boot. Blaine came to a stop in front of Kurt and twirled around to really show each of his physical assets. As soon as he came to a stop Kurt slapped him on the behind playfully.

“What, just because you turned down Sebastian’s offer to get us tickets to the premier doesn't mean I still can't dress to impress,” Blaine sassed.

“Except the fact that it makes me the less dressed of us for once,” Kurt remarked.

Blaine leaned forward to give Kurt a kiss on the lips before he sat down on the couch beside him. “So, we both know you're going to change as soon as there's a long enough commercial break.”

Blaine knew Kurt too well, though that was hardly something to complain about. So Kurt made no attempts to as the couple sat down together to watch their program. Blaine reached over to take a handful of popcorn as he started to search for signs of Sebastian.

“Have I missed anything?” He asked.

Kurt shook his head. “There's no sign of him yet... trust him to be late to his own fucking premier,” Kurt fumed.

“He likes to make an entrance, same as you do, baby,” Blaine teased.

“Yeah well, he better show up soon or there is going to be hell to pay,” Kurt grumbled in annoyance. “Stop talking to the girl with the cleavage you wank!” Kurt shouted at the man who was in charge of interviewing the stars as they walked by.

“You do realize it's a movie premier and not all about the suit you made for Sebastian right?”

“I know, but after the ringer I went through in creating that fucking suit, there better some good photos coming out of this to make it worth my while. I want fucking camera time! Most designers don't have to sew their designs themselves. Or have to directly deal with who it's for... oh god... just remembering that final fitting,” Kurt muttered with a shiver.

“I know, I was there,” Blaine pointed out.

Kurt needed to force himself to relax, it wasn't like Sebastian was there to see his outbursts. So he took a deep breath, held it and exhaled slowly as he continued to wait for the star of the show to appear. Then, all of a sudden, Kurt caught sight of a familiar head of hair and loud screaming cheers soon followed.

“There! There he is!” Blaine shouted with excitement.

Kurt gasped as he took hold of Blaine's hand, barely able to control himself. “Oh my god, the guy’s calling him over!”

“Oh fuck yes!” Blaine hooted excitedly.

The anxious pair watched as the panned out view zoomed in on Sebastian's figure as he made his way down the red-carpet and over to the beckoning interviewer. Already Kurt's handiwork was pulling focus away from the crowd with how well it flattered Sebastian's body. But the person who stood out the most of all was the stunning young man who was on Sebastian's arm.

When Sebastian and his striking date both made it to the interview area, the piece of eye-candy stepped aside to allow Sebastian to take centre stage but he kept close as Sebastian came to touch the small of his back lovingly.

“And of course Amir looks even more amazing on camera! How is that even possible?” Blaine muttered in awe. He was so beautiful it was getting old.

Kurt tore away his eyes from the screen and Amir's mesmerizing good looks to discover that Blaine was frowning. “Are you jealous?” He teased.

“Can you really blame me with how you're cooing over him... not to mention how you--” Blaine began.

But Kurt stopped Blaine's silly venting by placing a finger to his lips and went on to kiss him softly. “Blaine, try to look me in the eye and tell me that you don't think Amir is the most beautiful man you have ever seen,” Kurt tested.

Instantly Blaine began to squirm under Kurt's intense gaze and he knew there was no point to resist admitting the truth. “Okay yeah, he totally is,” Blaine confessed.

Victorious, Kurt flashed Blaine a superior smile as he turned his attention back to Sebastian as he waited for his turn to be interviewed. During which Sebastian and Amir kept whispering and smiling at one another, showing how they obviously had no qualms about the nature of their relationship.

“You know, if I didn't know what those two are like first hand, then I'd swear their relationship was nothing but a publicity stunt,” Kurt remarked.

Blaine nodded in agreement. “I still can hardly believe it half the time myself. Or how anyone could have an open relationship in any sense... and still be so happily in love...”

Kurt let out a loud snort, “Open relationship my ass! I just know those two are letting on more than what's really happening. Sebastian's getting too famous to keep sleeping around and they're just as committed to one another as much as we are.”

“I guess that's true, but their relationship is very different from ours. Which isn't a bad thing though... not if they're happy,” Blaine added.

“Just the fact that Amir managed to get Sebastian to commit on any level at first is very impressive. So we should hand him to it for that and how he can look past all of his annoying personal traits,” Kurt said.

“I don't think Amir sees them as faults though. He always says that he fell in love with Sebastian the moment he saw him.”

“Yes well... their story isn't so romantic when you take in the fact how they had sex before knowing each other’s name that first time.”

Blaine laughed. “Um... Kurt, I hate to break it to you but we can't really talk ourselves... the first time we had sex was during a threesome,” Blaine reminded Kurt.

Kurt let out a quiet grumble in response and the pair chose to resume watching the show until it was Sebastian's turn to speak.

There was something about Kurt's almost dreamy gaze that made Blaine think Kurt was getting lost of memories of the past. While he wasn't worried since he and Kurt were solid of course, he was unable to hide his minute displeasure fully from Kurt it seemed.

When Kurt noticed that Blaine was still scowling he let out small giggle. He took hold of Blaine's left hand and squeezed it gently to catch his attention. “Need I remind you there is no cause for jealously Blaine. Or I never would have asked you for this,” Kurt assured as he held up Blaine's left hand and stroked the white band on his ringer finger. “And we even put a ring on it, remember?” Kurt chimed and pointed to the match to Blaine's ring that was on his own left hand.

It was easy for Blaine to let it all go because he wasn't really jealous in the first place. Sure Amir was ridiculously attractive but he still wasn't Kurt Hummel and so that meant he wasn't Blaine's loving husband of six months.

The last five years together hadn't gone by without their share of hardship, tears, angst and even time apart but it had only made them stronger in the end. Bringing them both to the here and now, a happily wedded couple who were well on the way to reaching their dreams. There wasn't one single thing that could come between them now and Blaine looked forward to every new day together.

“Blaine, look! It's Sebastian's turn!” Kurt shouted in excitement.

“Kurt, he looks amazing!” Blaine said with pride.

“I know, thank you, honey.”

“Shh he's talking!” Blaine hissed.

“Well here we have the man everyone wants to see; Sebastian Smythe and I'm finding it hard to believe this is your first movie premier. You're a natural,” the interviewer stated with far too much charm in his voice.

Sebastian flashed him a smile. “Why thank you, I do try,” he answered. While Amir started to laugh silently beside him.

“So I gotta say man you sure look the part. I think I speak for everyone when I say that is one amazing outfit you got going on. You should give the audience watching a good show here and do a little twirl for us,” the man urged.

“I bet he paid the guy to say all this crap,” Kurt whispered to Blaine.

“Oh Kurt, even he wouldn't go that far!” Blaine laughed.

Sebastian was happy to oblige the request and Amir stepped back to let his boyfriend turn around slowly to show every side of his suit. It was dark navy in colour, almost black, with a matching waist coat, topped off with a bold chain and steam-punk style stop-watch. It somehow managed to be classic but sleek and daring at the same time, the effect was totally pulled off and Sebastian stood out like a beacon. Fully enjoying the attention the contrast to the other well-dressed men on the carpet brought.

The interviewer began to clap and Amir joined in, as well as everyone around him and Sebastian bowed as the crowd behind them began to cheer. Kurt rolled his eyes; he was soaking it all up and boosting his already out of proportion ego. Fuck, Sebastian was going to be impossible to deal with after this Kurt realized with dread. Oh well, considering the attention his work of art was getting, it was almost worth it. But Kurt also knew he'd probably live to regret those words.

“Very nice, that leads us to the big question everyone wants to know the answer to. Just who are you wearing?”

Sebastian paused and looked right at the camera, giving the smug smile he knew Kurt loathed, basking in the ironic satisfaction. He didn't even bother to look back to the man who had asked the question or at his boyfriend as his gaze was fixed on the camera lens while Kurt on the other half of the continent looked back at him with an amused smirk.

“Well don't keep us in the dark here,” the interviewer pleaded with a small laugh.

“Kurt Hummel,” Sebastian finally answered.

The End
