Kurt opened his eyes jumping up immediately, he didn’t recognize where he was. His heart raced. Did he get drunk last night and went home with a stranger? If so, it wouldn’t be the first time. He looked around the room trying to see if he could remember anything from last night and where he was. He heard a faint sound that sounded like a guitar being played, but couldn’t quite decipher where it was coming from or what it was. He got out of bed and peeped through the curtains. He recognized this view, his heart beat slowed at least he recognized something. He opened the curtains wider, looking for the source of the guitar playing. He gasped letting the curtains fall back into place. Blaine. Why was he in Blaine’s home? He stood there thinking hard about the night before when he finally remembered. He had been kicked out of Jake’s apartment, Rachel wasn’t here so Blaine had been kind enough to give him a place to stay for the night. Kurt looked through the curtains again, Blaine’s back was turned to him, he was accompanied by his guitar. He saw Blaine’s mouth was moving and realized he was singing along with whatever he was playing on his guitar.

“… be my valentine, valentine

Let’s go all the way tonight, no regrets just love

We can dance until we die, you and I will be young forever…

You make me feel like I’m living a teenage dream, the way you turn me on…”

Kurt watched amazed, he had never heard that song being sung so… emotional before. Blaine had stopped playing and was staring off into the distance blankly.

“That was really good.” Kurt said softly.

Blaine jumped slightly, turning to Kurt smiling immediately. Kurt felt breathless and he didn’t know why.

“Thanks.” Blaine smiled, running a hand through his curls.

“I’ve never heard that song like that before.” Kurt continued, ignoring the swelling feeling in his chest and the strange urge to run his hands through Blaine’s curls.

“Yea well…” Blaine shrugged his shoulders, dipping his head to try and hide his reddening cheeks making that swelling feeling in Kurt’s chest grow, almost painfully.

Kurt’s stomach chose that moment to rumble loudly, Blaine’s head snapped up at the sound, eyes focused on Kurt. Kurt made a mental note to scold his stomach later for embarrassing him.

“Hungry?” Blaine asked.

“Very.” Kurt admitted.

Blaine stood walking passed Kurt into the room and resting his guitar on its stand. Kurt brought his eyebrows together, why wasn’t Blaine’s guitar in his own room? Unless….

“Is this your room?” Kurt asked.

“Uh hu”

“How did I…” Kurt started.

“You sleep walk, did you know that?” Blaine said slyly.

Kurt brought his hand to his head, feeling completely embarrassed, Kurt did a lot of things in his sleep, a few days ago he bought a Doctor Who box set, with Rachel’s credit card.

Blaine noticing Kurt’s sudden embarrassment took a few steps closer to him, prying his hand off his face and held on to it.

“Hey, it’s okay. I actually thought you were awake when you came in, but then you got into my bed and went out so fast you couldn’t have been.”

Kurt shook his head, looking up meeting Blaine’s gaze. Kurt’s breath hitched as he looked into Blaine’s eyes. Blaine was staring at him with such intensity, Kurt felt his cheeks turning pink and ducked his head only to have Blaine put a finger on his chin to bring his gaze back up. Kurt saw something flicker in Blaine’s eyes, he couldn’t quite place what it was. Before he knew it, Blaine was inching closer…closer… Kurt held his breath, waiting.

“Hey! You guys want some- oh….” Blaine snapped backwards and around to where the voice came from. If looks could kill Wes would have dropped dead from the look Blaine was giving him. Wes threw his hands up in the air in defense and began backing out of the room.

“Sorry man, I didn’t know I’d be interrupting, I was just checking if you two wanted some breakfast”

“Yea, we were just coming to get some” Blaine eyed him.

“Sorry” Wes mouthed and disappeared.

Blaine turned back to Kurt who was still holding his breath, “C’mon” Blaine said letting go of Kurt’s hand. Kurt immediately missed the connection and silently cursed Wes for interrupting a moment that could have defined the swelling feeling in his chest and heat pooling in his stomach. Kurt hadn’t felt like this since he first met Jake, he knew exactly what was happening, he was falling for Blaine. Falling and there was no way out.

Kurt followed Blaine silently out of the room and into the kitchen where Wes looked at them sheepishly and sipped his cup of coffee before disappearing down the hall. Back to his room Kurt guessed.

“What do you want to eat?” Blaine asked as he moved around the kitchen, pouring them cups of hot coffee.

“Coffee is fine” Kurt said, ignoring his grumbling stomach.

“But you’re hungry” Blaine countered, tilting his head slightly.

Kurt stomach chose that moment to grumble loudly once again. Blaine smiled.

“You eat eggs?” He asked as he pushed himself off the counter and made his way to the fridge.

“Yea, but it’s okay, I can go buy something, you don’t have to cook for me…” Kurt started.

Blaine shrugged “I’m not gonna send you out to buy food when there’s food right here. Now how do you like your eggs? Say scrambled, because that’s all I can do.”

Kurt laughed, “Scrambled is fine then.”

“Good.” Blaine said, handing him a cup of hot coffee.

Kurt watched as Blaine moved swiftly through the kitchen cooking for him. Kurt knew this was just an act of kindness from Blaine, but he couldn’t help feeling some form of domestic happiness, like this was normal, he’d wake up and have Blaine prepare breakfast for him, it felt normal, like it should happen. Kurt was snapped out of his thoughts when he realized Blaine was talking.

“Sorry, what?”

“Do you want toast with this?” Blaine asked amused.

“I’ll do it thanks.” Kurt answered.

“How can you do it when you don’t even know where the bread is?” Blaine teased as he stretched past Kurt to pull the bread from a drawer and putting two slices in the toaster, hesitated then put in two more.

“I’m not that hungry” Kurt said

“I’m hungry too y’know”

Of course, Blaine was cooking for himself too, he felt somewhat stupid thinking Blaine was cooking for only him.

In a matter of minute Blaine had dished the eggs and toast out on two plates and refilled their coffee cups as they sat in the chair in Blaine’s living room.

They shared stories about their friends, their past and their hobbies as the morning passed.

“I-I should go” Kurt said feeling a bit like he was intruding.

“Where?” Blaine asked simply

Kurt realized he was right, where was he going to go? He didn’t know what was going on with him and Jake, well he did know, he just didn’t want to admit it to himself. Rachel wasn’t here and he didn’t havea key to her apartment, he only had Blaine’s place but still he lied.

“I’ll figure something out.”

“No, you said you had nowhere to stay, I have an extra room, like it or not you’re staying, I’m not sending you wondering in the streets” Blaine said sounding a bit authoritative. Kurt felt that familiar heat pooling in the pit of his stomach again, Blaine’s forcefulness was turning him on.

“Okay” Kurt gave in and relaxed in the chair.”So what do you usually do at this time?”

The question seemed to have caught Blaine by surprise, “Nothing really, write music, go for walks, pretty boring stuff.”

“You write music?” Kurt asked amazed.

“Yeah.” Blaine shrugged.

“Is there anything you can’t do?”

“Cook” Blaine replied thoughtlessly.

“Please, based on the eggs you made me, if you tried you’d be better than Bobby Flay himself.”

Blaine smiled and hid his face behind the pillow. “Thank you”

“You’re very welcome.”

At that moment Kurt’s phone buzzed, his heart stopped at the sight of the name. Jake. Kurt opened the text message.

“Where are you? Why are your stuff gone? I miss you baby, please come home.”

Confused, Kurt quickly replied.

“You kicked me out.” Kurt hit send, surprised at the buzzing that came right after.

“Why would I do that?”

Kurt was really confused now, had last night not happened? Kurt checked his message for the message Jake had sent him telling him to take his things and leave and sent it to Jake.

“I’m sorry baby, I never meant it, I was drunk, please forgive me?”

Kurt huffed in annoyance, Jake was beginning to get under his skin, he was acting out lately and getting dangerously drunk and even landed himself in the hospital once.

“Why? I walk in on you sleeping with someone else last night. I think we’re done here Jake.”

“Whatever. You won’t find anyone else like me Kurt. I loved you and now you’re letting that go. Good luck.”

Kurt rolled his eyes, he hoped he was right, he never wanted to find someone like Jake again, he was too much stress, Kurt couldn’t deal with another Jake, he felt a weight lifted off his shoulders when he sent his last message.

“I hope not. Bye Jake.”

“You okay?”

Kurt’s head snapped up, he had completely forgotten Blaine, who was now watching him with concern, was still there.

“Oh, yeah, it’s just Jake…”

“Oh.”

“He was asking for me to come back.” Kurt saw Blaine tense at his statement. “But I ended, for good, I am officially single.”

Blaine relaxed then, smiling slightly, “Good.” He whispered, unaware that Kurt had heard.

Kurt smiled at Blaine,now that he was free from Jake, he felt like whatever was happening with him and Blaine gave him a feeling of hope, that this would turn into what he hoped it would be.
