Kurt knew he should be over it by now, but every time Blaine and Rachel are intoxicated near each other…they end up attached by the lip for the night. Kurt knows and Blaine knows that Blaine is gay. So it shouldn't bother Kurt this much. But it does.
Everyone is drunkenly running around. Puckerman and Mercedes are laughing at something Finn said. Rachel is trying to pay attention but Blaine is just not having any of that. Kurt can hardly stand to watch this. Kurt, unlike the others, tends to start getting really emotional when he's drunk. So he goes upstairs into the main bedroom. This was only one of the four bedrooms in the house. It had a king size bed and a single bed. He goes to the king sized bed, curls up and cries. He doesn't know at what point he starts drifting off to sleep, or when he calms down.
He is awoken sometime in the middle of the night by Blaine, Rachel and Mercedes.
"WAKEY WAKEY, KURTSIE!"
He really wasn't in the mood for this. He pull the covers more over his face and pretended to be asleep.
"Oh come on Kurt! Wake up so we can get into the bed, too!" shouts Rachel. Finishing with a burp.
"Go away. There's plenty of other beds in this house! And Rachel that is disgusting!"
But then suddenly someone is shoving him and two people seem to crawl into the bed next to him. He gets shoved almost all the way to the edge of the bed.
"I'm just going to brush my teeth, I'll be right back," Blaine announced.
Kurt moans. It's bad enough that he has to share a bed with a drunken Rachel. He has to share one with Rachel and Blaine. This was just going to be a long night. Until someone crawled in on the other side of him. He was now sandwiched between Blaine and Rachel. So okay, he could live with this. But having four people on a bed was kind of uncomfortable. They had to lie in a row like sausages and Blaine was being stubborn and lying on his stomach and taking up twice as much room as everyone else (despite his size).
"Just let me swap places with you…" he whispered in Kurt's ear. Kurt really didn't want to think about the reason why Blaine wanted to swap places with him in the first place but he just…swapped. Now they were all like sardines.
Kurt didn't notice that his back was against Blaine's bare chest. He didn't notice that their breathing was in synch. Just as he was about to doze off back to sleep. He felt a hand come around on his stomach. Blaine stroked his stomach very lightly and then put his hand to rest on Kurt's stomach under his t-shirt. Kurt froze. He didn't know what to do. He knew he should do something because Blaine was drunk. He didn't want this to be awkward in the morning. But now his heart was racing. He had never felt so close to Blaine. He could feel his breath ghosting on the back of his neck. He scooted ever so slightly back so he was closer to Blaine. He should not have been taking advantaged but then Blaine squeezed him close. He nuzzled his face on the back of Kurt's neck and just stayed like that for a long time.
Kurt couldn't sleep. He wanted to remember this moment. He felt a bit creepy just lying there with Blaine's face in his neck and his hand on his bare stomach but he couldn't help but feel happy. So when Blaine started shuffling around and got up a minute later and moved to the bed on the other side of the room. Kurts heart felt like it was going to shatter into a million pieces.
