"Don't." Blaine said quietly. "You don't owe me anything."
"What?" Kurt said, just as quietly.
"I have somewhere to be." Blaine said, a bit icily, as he walked past Kurt and back to his room. Kurt stepped out of the way and watched as Blaine walked by him. He sighed, walking over to the table and sitting down, laying his head down and pressing his cheek against the cool wood. He didn't understand what was going on. He knew why Blaine was upset. But he had tried to apologize. And what the hell was Angie so mad about? He just lay there, trying to ignore the churning in his stomach until he fell asleep like that. Blaine hurriedly got ready for work and snuck out before Kurt could wake up. Angie came out a bit later, already dressed and went down to their bakery. When Angie returned home, Kurt was still asleep in the kitchen, in the same position as when she left. She walked over, gently rubbing his back.
"Hmm?" He hummed, not moving.
"You'll be more comfortable in your bed.."
"I don't wanna move..."
She sighed. "Alright..At least drink some water?"
Kurt nodded against the table. Angie got him a glass and set it next to him. He sat up, drinking the water quickly and looking up at Angie. "I'm sorry.." He said pitifully.
"I’m not the one you should apologize to.."
"I know." He sighed, wrapping his arms around Angie's waist and resting is head against her stomach, closing his eyes.
"Why didn't you stay?" Angie asked, stroking his hair.
"I don't know..I was mad and drunk..I'm sorry I yelled at you.." Kurt said,
"I shouldn't have gotten that mad. But I meant why didn't you stay to talk to him.,?"
"I..I got scared.." He said, looking up at her.
"Of what, Hun?"
"That he would want to talk about me trying to kiss him..And that he would want to move out.." Kurt said.
Angie sighed. "We spent most of the day together. He probably just wanted to get to know you as much as he did with me. He's not moving out."
Kurt just sighed softly. "Will you help me to my bed please?'
Angle nodded before helping him. She laid Kurt down, pulling the blankets over him. "Blaine hates me now.." He said quietly.
"Give him time. He's just upset that you left last night. Give him a little time. Then maybe make him dinner or something.."
"I really like him Angie." Kurt whispered, closing his eyes.
"I know Hun,.."
She sat down on the bed and he lay his head in her lap. "Will you sing to me?" Kurt asked quietly.
"What song?"
"Anything.." Kurt said softly. Angie smiled, stroking his hair softly before starting to sing.
"I know that you cannot be here
I know that you are not mine now
Looking out the window
At another window
I see my nails changing color
Like the leaves of fall
If you often smile
But often don't smile
Which do you do more often
Smile.. or not?.."
Kurt nuzzled against her lap, sighing softly. Angie's voice was soft and unique. Kurt scolded her for always being too shy to sing in public, but she only sang for her best friend.
"I dreamt a hydrant was covered in snow
A white light glowing below
I know that you cannnot be here
I know that you are not mine now
Looking out the window
At another window
I see my nails changing color
Like the leaves of fall.."
She finished as he was breathing steadily in her lap, asleep again. She carefully moved, setting his head on his pillow before going to make dinner. Maybe she was a little harsh with Kurt last night..But she thought he needed that reality check. He'd come around after he slept. He usually did. A bit later, Blaine came in, looking dead on his feet. Angie gasped. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah..Just..Long day.." He said quietly.
"I made chicken and pasta. You hungry?"
Blaine nodded, sitting at the table and running his hands through his hair. Angie made their plates and sat across from him. "Where's Kurt?" Blaine asked, not looking up.
"He'd been sleeping out here all day so I got him into bed and sang to him. He’s sleeping again.."
Blaine said nothing and Angie sighed. Apparently she would have to be the voice of reason in this. "He was scared last night.."
"Of what?"
"That you would tell him you were leaving.." Angie said quietly.
Blaine still quiet. "I'm not." he said; looking up.
"I know. I told him that.."
"I want to talk to him, but I'm afraid he'll run again." Blaine said quietly.
"He needs to calm down. I told him that we had spent the day getting to know each other and that's probably why you wanted to hang out with him. He'll come around, Blaine," Angie said softly. Blaine nodded, sighing deeply.
"It'll work out, Hun."
"Thank you Angie.." Blaine said softly.
She reached out to grab Blaine’s hand. "I'm always here.."
Later that night, Kurt came out of the room freezing his tracks as he saw Blaine alone on the couch. Blaine looked up, giving a tiny smile. "Hi.."
"Hey.." Kurt said nervously.
"Feeling any better?"
"Yeah..Just have a really bad headache.." Kurt said weakly.
Blaine nodded, growing silent.
"I..I really am sorry about last night Blaine.."
Blaine looked up. "It's okay.."
"Really?" Kurt asked as Blaine patted the next to him and Kurt swallowed nervously.
"Yeah," Blaine said softly.
Kurt slowly sat down, not looking at Blaine as he fidgeted with his fingers.
"Where'd you have to go last night..?"
"I uh..I went out for a walk..Then I went to the bar...I just had a lot on my mind..
"Want to talk about it?" Blaine asked quietly.
"It's not really that important..I don't want to worry you with it.." Kurt said softly as he looked down.
"You wouldn't be worrying me. But alright.."
Kurt just nodded, not wanting to bring up the other night, but he had a feeling it was coming. Blaine sighed, looking away. He didn't want to push Kurt into talking.
"Do..Do you feel weird around me now?"
"A little.." Blaine looked down, biting his lip. "You haven't been saying much or hanging around when I’m here.."
"Only because..I feel like..I may have crossed a line..When..When we were..Cleaning.." Kurt stammered.
"You didn't.." Blaine said nervously.
"I didn't?" Kurt asked his eyebrows kneading together in confusion.
"No," Blaine said, looking up at Kurt. God, he was so adorable when he was confused.
"B-But..You're.." Kurt said, at a loss for words as he and Blaine looked into each other's eyes.
"Straight?" Blaine asked. "Not even close.."
Kurt gasped as Blaine quickly leaned in, capturing his lips in a deep passionate kiss. Kurt moaned as he brought his hands up to tangle in the godly curls he'd been longing to pull and touch as he kissed him back. Blaine gasped, allowing Kurt to slip his tongue inside to massage Blaine’s with his own. Blaine reached up, cupping Kurt’s cheek as they moved closer. Kurt gave a small whimper as they leaned back, Kurt pulling Blaine on top of him as they pressed their bodies together. Blaine moaned against Kurt’s lips, his hands sliding down his sides. Kurt ran his hands across the back of Blaine's neck and shoulders. The muscles were so strong and firm, just as he imagined them. Blaine paused at Kurt’s hips. He had wanted to touch them so bad. They felt so much better than he had imagined.
"Blaine.." Kurt breathed out as he massaged the sensitive area.
Blaine pulled back and looked down into Kurt’s eyes. He breathed out heavily. "She was right.."
"Who?" Kurt asked, a blush high in his cheeks.
"Angie.." Blaine said, unable to take his eyes off Kurt’s. "She said I'd love the way your eyes lit up when you finally knew how I felt.."
Kurt blushed more, giving a light smile. Blaine cupped Kurt’s cheek again. "You're so beautiful.."
"T-Thank you.." Kurt whispered.
Blaine smiled, leaning down to kiss Kurt softly. Angie came in a few minutes later and smiled. "Well it's about damn time!" Kurt blushed furiously, covering his face with his hand as Blaine smiled wide. "Stop acting all embarrassed," Angie giggled. Kurt just smiled as Blaine grabbed his wrist gently and brought his hand away from his face.
"Beautiful," Blaine whispered.
"Well I guess I'll be in my room. Have fun," she chuckled.
Kurt smiled. "Goodnight.." He said to his best friend.
"Goodnight," she said before heading back to her room. Kurt smiled up at Blaine, his blush returning.
"You really thought I didn't want you?" Blaine asked quietly.
"I thought that..You were straight..I've always had this thing with falling for straight guys, them finding out, and wanting nothing to do with me after that.." Kurt admitted.
"Kurt, I leaned in too.." Blaine said softly.
"You did? I guess I was just so nervous..I didnt notice.."
"Trust me, if she hadn't walked in, I wouldn't have pulled back.." Kurt smiled, leaning up to kiss Blaine again. Blaine pressed his body to Kurt’s, kissing him deeply. Kurt moaned softly, playing with the curls at the nape of Blaine's neck. Blaine shivered, gripping Kurt’s hips.
"Ungh..Blaine.." Kurt whimpered.
"Kurt.." Blaine groaned, pressing down more. Kurt kissed Blaine hungrily. That was the hottest thing he'd ever heard. Blaine rolled his body, tightening his grip on Kurt. Kurt moaned loudly, wrapping his legs around Blaine and pulling him closer. Oh fuck..That felt so good. "Ohmygod.." Blaine breathed out.
"I've wanted this..Since..The second I saw you.." Kurt panted.
"M-Me too..The first time you touched me...I wanted it so bad.." Blaine said between breaths.
"Oh..Blaine.."Kurt whined.
Blaine felt himself twitch and couldn't stop the moan that slipped out. "Kurrtt..."
"I want you so bad Blaine.." Kurt breathed out, rolling his hips up.
"Ahh! Shit..Kurt...M-me too.." Kurt kissed Blaine deeper, tugging lightly on the dark curls.
"I-if we dont stop, I won't be a-able too.." Blaine gasped.
Kurt loosened his grip on Blaine. "Sorry.." Kurt whispered.
Blaine rested his forehead against Kurt’s. "Don't be.."
Kurt wrapped his arms around Blaine, pressing light, chaste kisses to his lips.
Blaine smiled. "I'm so happy.."
"So am I.." Kurt whispered.
Blaine kissed Kurt softly. "Thank you.."
"For?" Kurt asked quietly.
"You stopped avoiding the subject.."
Kurt kissed Blaine again. "I'm sorry about that by the way."
"It's okay, beautiful," Blaine said softly.
Kurt blushed deeply, smiling up at Blaine. "You're so gorgeous.."
Blaine looked down, trying to hide his blush. "T-Thank you.."
Kurt lifted his chin. "Don't hide that.." He giggled lightly.
Blaine batted his eyelashes. "I-I've never felt like this.."
"Neither have I.." Kurt whispered. Blaine laid his head on Kurt’s chest, sighing happily. Kurt reached down, petting Blaine's curls lightly.
"I love that feeling.."
"Me too..I love your curls.."
"Mmm," Blaine sighed happily.
"Can I ask you something Blaine?" Kurt asked softly.
"Anything.."
"Who's Avery?" Kurt asked.
Blaine’s eyes went wide. "W-Where'd you hear that?"
"The other night, when you fell asleep on my lap..You were mumbling it.." Kurt said.
Blaine sat up, bringing his knees to his chest. "He was my best friend.."
Kurt sat up as well. "Are you okay?"
Blaine nodded. "Yeah.."
"Do you want to talk about it?" Kurt asked softly.
"I umm..It's hard.." Blaine said quietly.
"You don't have to.." Kurt said sincerely.
"It's just..He's the one that helped me with coming out.."
"What happened?" Kurt asked, wrapping his arms around Blaine.
"He..He ran into some guys one night.." Blaine whispered, looking down. "T-They jumped him...because he was gay.."
Kurt gasped softly, looking into Blaine's eyes. Blaine zoned out, seeming to be lost in the memory as his eyes welled up with tears. "I didn't leave his side when he was in the hospital..I-I was there when he..he didn't make it.."
"Oh my god..I-I'm so sorry.." Kurt whispered.
Blaine hugged himself tighter. "I miss him.."
"How long ago..did it happen?" Kurt asked.
"A few years ago. But it still hurts just as much..I guess that's why I don't really make it obvious that I am too.."
Kurt nodded, pulling Blaine closer. Blaine buried his face in Kurt’s neck. "I'm sorry..."
"Don't be.." Kurt said softly.
"I used to dream about him a lot. My friend, Chelsea, used to play with my hair when I slept. He would do that when I was upset. Chelsea would tell me whenever she did that, I'd say his name..."
"Were you two..close?" Kurt asked.
"He was the best friend I have ever had. Nothing romantic. Just really close," Blaine explained.
Kurt nodded. "I'm sorry you had to go through that.."
Blaine shrugged. "Thanks.."
"I'll always be here if you need to talk Blaine.."
Blaine nodded. "Thank you, Kurt.."
"You're welcome love." Kurt said softly. Blaine blushed, fluttering his thick lashes at the pet name. Kurt smiled, kissing Blaine's cheek lightly.
"Hey Kurt..?"
"Yeah?" Kurt asked softly.
"I..could I take you out..? On a real date..?"
Kurt blushed lightly. "I would love that.."
Blaine smiled. "Really?"
"Mhmm.." Kurt said, his grin growing.
Blaine pulled himself into Kurt’s lap. "You're amazing.." Kurt smiled up at Blaine, placing his hands on his hips. Blaine blushed, leaning in to kiss Kurt. Kurt ran his hands up and down Blaine's sides, kissing him back. Blaine shivered, pulling back and smiling. "Can I take you up on that offer to lay with you?"
"Of course.." Kurt said softly.
"Here? Or..?"
"We can go lay in my bed.." Kurt said smiling.
Blaine nodded. "Okay."
Kurt smiled as He grabbed Blaine's hand and they walked to the room. Blaine looked around the room. He hadn't been in here before. It was so Kurt. Kurt smiled. "Sorry, it’s a bit messy.."
"It's not messy," Blaine said softly. Kurt smiled laying on the bed a patting the spot next to him. Blaine swallowed hard before carefully climbing onto the bed. Kurt wrapped himself around Blaine, sighing softly. "Where would you like to go for our first date?" Blaine asked quietly.
"Anywhere with you.." Kurt said softly.
"What kind of stuff do you like?"
"Well I'm a huge theatre nerd..Fashion..Anything with the arts really." Kurt said softly.
Blaine nodded. "I can find something along those lines."
Kurt smiled, kissing Blaine's jaw. Blaine nuzzled up to Kurt, wrapping his arms around him. "You smell good.." Kurt smiled.
"Really?" Blaine giggled.
"Really.." Kurt said.
"Like what?"
"Like..Blaine I guess." Kurt laughed lightly. Blaine smiled, pulling Kurt closer.
Kurt nuzzled under Blaine's jaw, sighing softly.
Blaine kissed his forehead. "Goodnight, Kurt.."
"Goodnight Blaine.."
