Time seemed to last forever and Kurt could barely watch it. It was like all his senses left him in the moment.

And then he saw Jeff, Nick and Blaine jump and hug each other and he just knew. The guys said a word of thanks to the fans before they ran towards the backstage.

Kurt was already waiting with his arms wide open before they were filled full with Blaine.

“Thank god you are safe,” Kurt whispered in his shoulder as he hugged him tightly.

“Guess we'll be roomies for another week,” Blaine said with a soft smile as he let go of Kurt.

Kurt just chuckled before he hugged Jeff, “yeah and I'm really thankful for it.”

He also hugged Nick briefly before they watched Olly say goodbye to the 2 contestants leaving the competitions. It felt so weird seeing Mercedes her leaving video.

When they got the cue, Kurt started running on the stage and went for a big hug with Mercedes.

Mercedes let a few tears fall as she hugged Kurt tightly, “you better win this one for me.”

Kurt chuckled, “and you better be in the crowd cheering me on then.”

She chuckled, “we'll be catching up later ok?”

Kurt just nodded and went to Ashley to give her a brief hug as well.

What he didn't see was the debacle playing at the side of the stage. Blaine had been talking with Ashley when Sebastian had come along and wrapped his arm around Blaine's waist and pressed a kiss against his cheek, much to his dismay.

A few headed words were shared between the two of them before Blaine made his way towards Mercedes, putting on a fake smile so no one worried about what happen.

Hoping that no one had seen what had happened just a few moments ago.

Kurt woke up happily in Blaine's arms. Carefully he snuggled a bit further into Blaine's chest only to be met with a soft chuckle.

“Good morning,” he heard Blaine whisper against his ear before he pressed a soft kiss against his cheek.

“Too early,” Kurt smiled against his chest, already knowing that Blaine would chuckle. He loved that feeling.

“Well it's a good thing that we do have a quiet day today. No obligations, just us,” Blaine smiled.

“I like the sound of that,” Kurt whispered as he leaned up and pressed a soft kiss against his lips.

He cuddled back into Blaine's chest and let his eyes fall close for a bit longer. He didn't know when it happened, but he did fall back asleep into the warm arms he loved so much.

Kurt opened one eye carefully as he felt the coldness next to him. With a sigh, he stepped out of the bed and made his way towards the kitchen.

What he was met with was not at all what he expected. All boys were sitting at the kitchen island with their laptops out. And then there was Blaine with his hands in his hair.

“Euhm guys, what's going on,” Kurt asked as he went with his hand through his hair.

Blaine let out a long sigh as he looked up from where he had been staring at his laptop, “promise me you won't get met at me and let me explain.”

Kurt frowned, he didn't like the words that were leaving his boyfriends mouth all too much. Most of the time it meant something was very wrong.

“I'll try,” Kurt said in a more asking voice as he leaned his head a bit to the left and looked curiously towards Blaine.

Blaine just sighed and waved him over, “You better see this yourself. I don't really know what I have to say on the matter to be honest.”

Kurt stood still for a little longer, not really knowing if he really wanted to see what was on the computer screen but eventually made his way towards Blaine.

He stood behind Blaine and looked at the screen in front of him. He didn't need to read the article to know what it would say.

In front of him was a picture of Sebastian and Blaine. Sebastian had his arm tightly wrapped around Blaine and was pressing a kiss against his cheek.

Kurt didn't really know what to feel. Honestly, he trusted Blaine with every inch of his heart but on the other hand the proof was pestering him through the screen.

“When did this happen,” Kurt asked as he tried to wrap his head around it.

“I was talking to Ashley and I honestly didn't see him coming,” Blaine started as he looked with his puppy eyes towards Kurt, “I promise you that I didn't want this. I even shouted at him afterwards before I went to Mercedes to say goodbye to her. I didn't want to worry anyone. Hell I didn't think anyone saw it.”

Kurt wrapped his arms around Blaine's neck and cuddled into his shoulder, “I know you wouldn't want this. But it's kind of bad the media thinks you guys are together now.”

“I know,” Blaine said in frustration as he went with his hands through his hair, “what do I do now?”

Kurt shrugged, “maybe you should let it blow over. They won't talk about it in a few days.”

Blaine frowned a bit, “but I don't want people to even think about us 2 together,” he said with a shiver.

“Let's just let today blow over and decide what to do tomorrow ok,” Kurt asked quietly before he leaned his head over Blaine's shoulder and pressed a soft kiss against his lips, “besides, only I need to know the truth.” With a wink he turned around and went to the kitchen, starting to make breakfast.

He didn't notice how Blaine had turned around and smiled softly towards Kurt. Like in that moment he felt like the luckiest guy in the world.

Blaine and Kurt had decided to stay home after their cozy breakfast. Blaine had held Kurt tightly against his chest and hadn't even touched his phone or laptop. All that mattered was the guy in his arms.

They had ordered in some Chinese and were waiting now for it to arrive so they could have a movie night with Jeff and Nick.

Blaine pressed a soft kiss against the side of Kurt's head. “Thank you for today.”

Kurt leaned his head back and looked at Blaine with a soft smile on his lips before he leaned forward and pressed a soft kiss on his lips, “never need to thank me.”

The doorbell rang and Blaine stood up with a pout as he made his way towards the door, turning back once more to smile at Kurt.

He paid the delivery guy and took the bag filled with containers of Chinese.

He made his way back to the couch where the saloon table was already made empty and filled with dishes, knives and forks.

Blaine was just about to call Jeff and Nick when they emerged from their room, again both holding their laptops.

“Guys, I appreciate you keeping a check on all the things going on online but seriously I had it for today,” Blaine said with a frown as he took a seat next to Kurt and felt him squeeze his knee in a soothing matter.

“You will want to see this, Blaine,” Jeff said with a frown as he passed on his laptop.

Blaine rolled his eyes as he put the laptop on his lap and felt Kurt lean on his shoulder.

A new article was opened on the laptop. This time Blaine did have to read the title and he felt his stomach turn at the words staring back at him.

Blaine Anderson: playing up the competition as he has 2 guys wrapped around his finger. Who is the real Blaine Anderson?

Blaine scrolled down a bit, not really bothering to read the text as he watched another picture appear. This time it was a picture from Twitter, taken by who knows.

He saw himself hugging Kurt and kissing his lips softly as the backstage as he remembered the one moment he didn't think about his surroundings.

He heard Kurt take a small intake of breath as he scrolled down and was met by a Instagram picture which seemed to be of Sebastian. It was a print of the screen of the article they had read in the morning.

Next to it was written: We tried to keep it a secret but somethings things don't work out the way you want to. Blaine and I would have liked to keep this a secret until after the competition. We hope you guys understand this and give us our privacy. Thank you!

Blaine was started to slowly turn red as he read the Instagram text over and over. “I hope for him I won't see him tomorrow. Seriously what is the guy his problem? I thought we had this solved after we first met and I told him I wasn't interested.”

Kurt wrapped his arms around Blaine's waist as Jeff took over the laptop. He held Blaine tightly as he tried to sooth him.

“Blaine, we'll figure this out,” Kurt said in Blaine's curly hair.

“How,” Blaine asked as he leaned back. Kurt noticed how tears were slowly starting to well up in his eyes, “they all think I'm a slut now. You know how this will end. I probably ruined all our chances to win the competition,” he said as he turned towards Jeff and Nick who sat in silence.

“Blaine, you are not a slut,” Said Kurt strictly as he turned Blaine's face softly back to his so he could look Blaine in the eyes.

“That's what everyone is going to think,” Blaine said softly as a tear slowly traveled down his cheek.

Kurt took a deep breath. “So we tell them the truth.”

Blaine looked at him in shock for a moment, “no Kurt we said we wouldn't come clean until the end of the competitions. Till we were ready.”

Kurt shrugged, “Blaine, I don't care when we come clean. We knew one day it would come out. And if I'm honest I would have waited a little longer but I see how much this hurts you and this is the only solution. To just come forward and call Sebastian out on his lies.”

Blaine kept shaking his head, “there has to be another way.”

“Blaine,” Nick started to but in, “I know you are afraid of what this means for the band but we support you ok? This is just the media trying to guess and stir things up. But I have to agree with Kurt. This is the only way to get the rumors to clear up.”

Jeff nodded next to him as he patted on Blaine's knee.

Blaine let his hand wander through his hair, “you are 100 % sure of this,” he asked Kurt.

Kurt nodded his head as he leaned forward and pressed a soft kiss against Blaine's lips, “It's time to let the world know who you belong to.”

Blaine couldn't help but let the small smile appear on his lips. “I love you Kurt.”

Kurt looked at him with his eyes wide open as he mouth fell open just slightly. “Blaine,” he said softly.

Blaine just shook his head, “I mean it. I'm so glad we both got through this competition so far so we got to know each other because I would be missing out on a lot.”

Kurt leaned forward and kissed him deeply on the lips, “I love you too Blaine. So much.”

Blaine let his hand caress Kurt cheek, “common let's make twitter and Instagram and Facebook go nuts.”

They all got together around the laptop as Chinese was divided on the plates.

Blaine opened his Facebook page first as Kurt and he went through their phones to look through their pictures.

“How about we make a collage of some pictures, just to prove them it's no lie we are telling,” Kurt asked as he stopped at a picture of him and Blaine laying on the bed. Blaine was shirtless and Kurt was sleeping on his chest.

Blaine pressed a kiss on his cheek as he looked at the picture, “we should add that one. I kind of like it. You look so sweet on the picture.”

“And I'm not otherwise,” Blaine asked with a raised eyebrow.

Blaine chuckled which earned him a soft slap against his arm.

It didn't take them long to find all the pictures they wanted and to send them to Blaine's computer. They carefully put them in a collage before they uploaded it on Facebook.

There were pictures of them just as friends but also pictures of them at the beach and them cuddling on the couch.

They were both smiling while looking over the pictures until they had to type the statement they wanted to go with it. That's when things got serious.

“I don't know what I have to say,” Blaine said softly as he loaded the picture in the still empty message.

“How about you write about how you really feel,” Jeff asked from where he was sitting on the other side of the saloon table. “That's what the fans always like. Just write from the heart.”

So that's how Blaine started typing and scratching and rewriting until he finally found the perfect words.

Meanwhile their plates were empty and Kurt was helping Jeff and Nick in the kitchen, giving Blaine a moment to find the perfect words without anyone looking over his shoulder.

“Kurt,” Blaine shouted from where he was sitting on the couch with his laptop on his lap.

Kurt made his way in the living room and took a seat on the opposite side of the couch, “what's going on?”

“I want you to read this,” he said as he put the laptop of his lap and sat with his legs wide open, already opening his arms for Kurt to sit between his legs.

Kurt didn't need to be asked twice as he cuddled against Blaine's chest. “Ok I'm ready to read it.”

Blaine placed the laptop on Kurt's lap and cuddled against his shoulder.

Kurt started reading it without really showing what he was thinking.

Dear fans,

I hadn't planned on writing a message today and had hoped to enjoy my free day at the fullest but things don't always go as planned. I know a lot of you have probably read the articles that are circling around about me. The first few of this morning I might have been able to let go and pass by but by the end of today, I know I can't do anything but to tell you my side of the story. I hope you guys give me a chance to explain and tell you the truth about everything that has been going on.

First of all I want to clarify that I've never in any way was in a relationship with Sebastian or even had a fling with him. Sebastian did show interest in me but we talked about it and he understood that I had no feelings regarding him. The pictures that are circulating around on the internet, are pictures made last night at the end of the live shows. I went to Ashley to say goodbye and give her my own soothing words when Sebastian came to me and kissed my cheek without my permission. What the photographer of the article didn't say, is that I wasn't pleased with it and that we did have some words about it. That said it also surprised me that Sebastian wrote such a message on his Instagram page. I can say 100 % honest that I didn't even speak with Sebastian today and I gave him no permission to even post such a post as there is nothing to say further about this mather. I can even tell you that me and Sebastian are only acquaintances who only shared a few words though the competition. This only adds to my surprise.

Second I'd like to clear up the other rumor that has been going around since tonight. Apparently someone who was at the backstage of the show, caught a private moment between me and Kurt after his performance. I had a talk with Kurt about this and we figured there was no other way to clear up the rumors than to come clean. Me and Kurt have been friends ever since we got roomed together by the judges houses preselection. Ever since, we started growing closer towards each other, first as friends until we couldn't deny our feeling any longer.  We didn't want to get this out until after the live shows but we see no other way than to get this out. We wanted to take our time to figure this out and to grow even closer and get to know each other even better but Things don't always go as we want. We hope you guys understand why we wanted to keep this a secret and give us a bit of privacy during the competition because while we are together, we are still competitors and that stays until one of us leaves the competition.

I also added a few pictures of me and Kurt. We decided to share these to make up with you guys for all the drama going around and to prove that what we are telling is the truth.

As last, I want to thank Nick and Jeff for being there for me today. I know this isn't easy for them as well because we are all together in this band. This doesn't only hurt me but also hurts them in a way. Thank you for everything guys. I couldn't wish for better friends and teammates.

Thank you for reading this and I hope you guys understand!

Blaine

Kurt turned towards Blaine and pressed a soft kiss against his lips, “this is perfect.”

“Yeah,” Blaine asked worriedly.

Kurt nodded his head. “You can post it. I'm sure they understand.”

Blaine pressed on the post button, not overthinking it.

Kurt felt the heaviness in the air as Blaine copied the text and posted the message as well on his Instagram page on his phone and posted a link on his twitter to the article.

“You know what this means, don't you,” Kurt asked playfully.

Blaine frowned a bit as he shook his head.

Kurt just let out a giggle as he put the laptop on the saloon table, turned around so he was laying chest to chest with Blaine and leaned forward until their foreheads met in the middle.

“It means that we don't need to be a secret anymore. I can kiss you, hold your hand and hug you whenever you want. I can even post now all those cheesy pictures I have on my phone on Instagram to prove how proud I am to be your boyfriend,” Kurt whispered in the space between his lips.

“You would do that,” Blaine wondered back.

Kurt grinned, “how about I prove it?” He leaned forward and pecked Blaine's lips before he took his phone out of his pocket and went to his Instagram app.

Blaine waited patiently as he watched Kurt type a short message.

When Kurt smiled towards him with a soft smile while he bit on his lip, he knew he would be shown the message.

Kurt slowly turned his phone and he was met by the picture of Blaine pouting towards Kurt from a few night before. Written beneath it was I kind of love this dork.

Blaine couldn't help but smile widely at the message. He took his own phone from the coffee table and went to his own Instagram app. Already typing the message.

He noticed how Kurt looked curiously at his phone as he got an alert on his phone.

Than a wide toothy smile spread on his lips as he read the message Blaine had typed back. I love you too my love.

Kurt ducked his head in Blaine's chest as he cheeks slowly turned pink.

Things weren't perfect yet. There were so many things that had to be figured out, so many things that had to be laid out in the open. But for now they could live with this.
