Author's Notes:

Just like I promised. I know you want to probably kill me for the end (sorry guys) but hey, its only 1 chapter until you know what Blaines thinking and 3 chapters until you know what comes after ;) 

I started writing when I finished the last chapter and now I kind of feel tired, having had a school day and written 2 chapters. I dont know if it excists but I feel like I wrote to much for today ;) Maybe a new chapter tomorrow otherwise sunday. I hope you liked this longer chapter. its always nice to read what you think as I changed the style of writing a little bit because I wanted to write in Kurts pov. Let me know what you think ;) lots of love xoxo

I opened my eyes carefully. It sometimes feels like I'm still dreaming. Too good to be truth. Little butterflies were already forming in my stomach when I thought about what was going to happen today. My one of a life time chance, thrown in my hands when I had no idea it could happen like this.

Carefully I walked towards the bathroom. A shower would do wonders to the stress, at least that's what I thought.

When I walked out of the shower, I didn't feel the slightest bit more relaxed. I was just nervous, nervous that Blaine wouldn't like the suit, that the fans wouldn't like it or the paparazzi.

I put on my clothes and walked into the kitchen. I was welcomed by the smell of eggs and sausages. Blaine was working his magic on the food but smiled when I walked into the kitchen. It made my heart flutter a little bit but in a good way. I blamed it on the fact that this was still strange, walking into the kitchen of a guy that I admired so much. For the guy who kept me alive without even knowing it until that one day.

I smiled back at him and took a seat at the kitchen table. “It smells delicious Blaine. You don't have to cook for me every morning you know.”

Blaine just smiled at me. “I don't mind really. It's something I rarely get to do and I love cooking so I'm just lucky to have you. It's a bit silly to make such a breakfast for one person.”

He placed the pan on the table and filled my plate with a bit of eggs and a few sausages. Then he did the same by himself and started eating.

The comfortable silence surrounding us was something I really liked about hanging out with Blaine. We didn't have to say anything at all, it was never awkward. It was something I missed with most of my friends at home but right here I felt at peace and I felt save.

When our plates were finished, we cleaned the dishes together. I broke the silence first. “So Blaine, what is the plan for today?”

Blaine smiled at me. “We have to be there around 3 pm for the red carpet. We'll pose for some pictures, I'll probably do a few interviews and then we'll get inside, take our seats and just enjoy the show.”

I felt the nervous butterflies come up again. “Sound like a plan.”

Blaine just winked at me and finished the last dish. He looked at the clock and back to me. “We have an hour or two to kill before we get ready, how about we watch a movie?”

I just nodded and followed him into the living room while we watched finding nemo. I still thought it was funny how many Disney movies Blaine actually owned. But I liked the side of him. It suited him in some way.

During the whole movie I was distracted by the thoughts in my head. I didn't even notice it when the movie ended until Blaine's face was right in front of mine. “Earth to Kurt, earth to Kurt. I wonder where you were?”

A chuckle escaped my lips. “It's for me to know and for you to guess,” I said with a playful smirk.

Blaine just laughed and took my hand before he leaded me to my room where are suits were waiting. Blaine started getting dressed while I took a seat on the bed. I wanted to see his reaction first before I changed.

When Blaine closed the button of his suit, he turned around at me. “So is it like Kurt Hummel wanted?”

I smiled at him. “You know it is. I'm just a little nervous about what you'll think. But I guess it's time for you to finally see it.”

I walked to the mirror. For the dramatic effect I waited a little longer than necessary before I removed the blanket I had laid above it for the past week.

Blaine looked at the mirror with his mouth slightly open. His eyes were a little wider when he took it all in.

In that moment, I would have given everything just to know what was going on his head. I was starting to feel a little anxious, not knowing if it was good surprise or bad surprise.

Blaine turned himself around and tried to look at his back. His eyes went from the one end of the mirror to the other.

When he looked back into my eyes, I saw small tears form in his eyes. “It's amazing Kurt.”

Inside myself a squealed a little, excited that he liked it. I walked towards him and hugged him from not to close so I wouldn't destroy the clothes.

“I'm glad you like it. You can admire yourself a little longer while I change clothes and do my hair but you better remove the jacket for a little bit longer. Then I'll do your hair.”

With a last wink, I walked into the bathroom to change myself.

 

I looked at myself into the small mirror of the bathroom. My hair was almost done but this one piece of hair didn't want to lay the right way.

I was holding a debate in my head with myself about cutting the little piece of if it fell out of place once again but it was like the little piece was threatened by my thoughts and decided to follow my orders.

With a content smile, I looked at my hair once more before I walked out of the bathroom door.

Blaine was sitting on the bed, reading something that looked like a music magazine, until he heard me walk in.

The effect was even funnier when he looked into the mirror. He looked at me like I was a god or something walking into the room.

He stood up and walked towards me. “Wauw Kurt,” was all he said.

Then he walked around me, admiring the suit from all sides until he was back in front of me. “You look beautiful Kurt.”

It was said in an almost whisper and I felt the tears starting the form in my eyes. I had never been called beautiful like that and it made my heart swell.

“Thank you,” I said almost shyly. “Now let's finish your hair shall we?”

Blaine looked over me once more before he took a seat on the chair I had placed in front of the mirror.

I took the small bottle of gel and started carefully putting little bits into his hair so the curls would lay just right.

It took me a few minutes until I felt like it was perfect. Blaine looked at himself in the mirror and smiled. “You really are a man of many talents, aren't you?”

He winked at me through the mirror before he stood up. “Now let's take a picture of the both of us for Instagram. I bet you that the fans will go insane and will wonder who you are.”

He took his phone out of his pocket and made a sign to me to get closer in front of the mirror. He wrapped his arm around me and we both smiled when the picture was taken.

Blaine showed me the picture before he uploaded it on Instagram. Ready for the grammy's tonight. Are you ready?

When the picture was uploaded, Blaine looked one last time at the mirror. “I think we're ready and it's a bit of a drive. We better get going.”

We walked down the stairs to the waiting car with tinted windows. Blaine held open the door for me to step inside. He followed behind me and got comfortable into his seat.

The drive was mostly quiet. It was peaceful on the one side but on the other side it made my nerves get the best of me. Blaine seemed to notice and took my hand into his and slowly rubbed his thumb over my hand. It made me feel a lot calmer knowing I had someone with me who supported me wholly.

The car stopped and Blaine let go of my hand. He just turned around at me and smiled at me. “It's time Kurt.”

When the words left his mouth, I had just a little more time to swallow the lump in my throat. And then he opened the door.

 

I walked close to Blaine. It was kind of overwhelming. We had just stepped out of the car. Blaine had actually held open the car door for me to get out while a lot of paparazzi were screaming that the Blaine Anderson had arrived.

I blushed a little while I stepped out of the car. He closed the door behind me, took my hand and leaded me to a larger group of people.

It was that moment I realized I was about to meet the band mates Blaine had talked about the whole week. When the guys realized Blaine had arrived, they ran towards him and wrapped him into a group hug. Blaine let go of my hand and tried to hug them all back while laughing.

“Guys I can't breathe, it had been a week. You can't have missed me that much.”

They all  just grinned at him. “Don't even try to deny it Blaine, we know you missed us.”

It was Jeff who actually noticed me first. “My my Blaine Anderson. You've been hiding a secret for us?”

The others turned to look at what Jeff was looking and I started to feel really shy in that moment. I wasn't used to the attention.

Blaine blushed a little. “Slush guys. Let me introduce you. Kurt, this are my crazy bandmates Jeff Nick and David. Guys, this is Kurt.”

I was about to hold out his hand when I almost fell backwards of the impact the hug had. I started laughing and hugged them back. “I can see why you call them crazy,” I said to Blaine over Jeff's shoulder.

Blaine started laughing when all three of them starting pouting to me. I just laughed it off and shrugged.

Blaine walked over and took my hand again. Jeff started catcalling. “Blaine you have it bad. But now you have to explain something to me. Why does Kurt look so awfully familiar?”

Blaine blushed and tried to hide it. “Kurt's the cartoonist from Tumblr.”

David started grinning. “This is the guy you've been falling for by just looking at his drawings?”

I looked at Blaine and started giggling when his face was almost tomato red. “Don't be embarrassed Blaine. At least I'm not the only fan now anymore,” I said with a cheeky wink.

Blaine looked up at me and chuckled. “What can I say, I like talented guys.” He said to me.

I blushed a little and looked back at his bandmates who were all staring at us with creepy smiles on their faces.

“So how long have you guys been dating?” asked Nick with a cheeky grin.

I felt my face warm up a little more. “We aren't,” I answered truthfully, ignoring the little voice in my head trying to make me admit I at least liked him.

They all looked at us like we had grown 5 heads in 1 minute.

Jeff looked like he was about to say something when a man walked towards us with a walkie talkie. “Sir Anderson, it's time for you and your bandmates to attend the red carpet.”

I felt Blaine's fingers lace with mine again as he leaded me behind the man. This was the moment, no turning back.

 

We were standing at the beginning of the red carpet, ready to get on it ourselves. Blaine was talking to his bandmates about how they were going to do this.

When the discussion ended, he turned towards me. “So this is how we are going to do this, first I'll go on my own, then the others will join us and then you'll join me. Ok?”

I just nodded and watched how Blaine stepped onto the carpet. Flashes were everywhere and paparazzi started screaming his name. “Blaine, look right here!” “Blaine a little more to the right!” “Blaine right here!” It was deafening.

A moment passed until Blaine waved to Jeff, Nick and David to join him. I was left behind with the man with the walkie talkie. I watched how Jeff, Nick and David joined him on the carpet. They started the pictures smiling but they ended with funny faces, Blaine being attacked from behind and one of Jeff sneezing. It looked hilarious from where I was looking and I couldn't contain the giggles.

Jeff, David and Nick left the red carpet on the other side. I looked back to where Blaine was standing, only to see him walk towards me with his hand outstretched. “Ready to join me Kurt?”

I took his hand and smiled at him. “Yes, I am.”

He leaded me to the middle of the red carpet and wrapped his arm around me. It felt strange for me to stand there and see so many cameras look back at me. But never the less it was one of the favorite moments of my life. Blaine wrapped his arm around me a little tighter and it felt amazing. I smiled brightly even though the flashes were starting to hurt my eyes.

I was so focused on everything in front of me, that I didn't notice when Blaine stood on the tips of his toes and pressed a kiss on my cheek. I leaned into the touch but it was over way to soon. I looked at Blaine and he smiled at me shyly. The arm around my waist left but instead he took my hand as he leaded me away from the red carpet.

A few paparazzi were still screaming behind him but they had probably enough pictures already anyway. Jeff, Nick and David were waiting for us with knowing smirks on their faces but it seemed like we both wanted to ignore that and Just enjoy the evening.

Blaine leaded us to the row where interviewers were waiting to talk with all the famous people. When they saw Blaine, just like the paparazzi, they started screaming.

Blaine smiled and waved at them before he leaded me to the first person in the row.

Each one of them almost asked the same questions. “How is the new album going?” “How was the last tour?” “What are the plans for the future?” and then they would start with the more personal questions. “Blaine, we see you brought someone? Care to explain who this is?”

Blaine was always polite when he answered. He would look at me first and smile at me with that glint in his eye that I hadn't fully figured out yet.

“This here is Kurt Hummel. He's a very close friend of mine and very talented. You see, I'm very proud to say that he created both our suits in a week time. As you see it looks amazing and I'm sure we'll see so much more from him in the next few years and I'll be here supporting him through it all because he deserves it. You better remember his name!”

I would blush a little every time the sweet words left his lips but I was happy that he did this all for me.

When we walked past the last interviewer, he squeezed my hand. “Not that bad, right?”

I looked up at him with a smile on my face. “No it wasn't that bad. Thank you.”

He looked at me confused. “Why?”

“For everything.” I stopped in my tracks and stepped in front of him. I saw from the corner of my eye how Jeff, David and Nick went to stand a little further to give us some privacy. “Thank you for giving me this chance. I know you will protest and say I helped you out but you have no idea how much this means to me. It feels like I'm finally being appreciated and I feel happy. It's been a while actually since I felt this happy. So this isn't only a thank you for this chance. It's a thank you for making me feel happy, appreciated, for making me feel like me again. I know that I'll have to go back to Ohio in a two days but I'm glad I got a little break for a little bit and that you made me forget it all for even just a little bit. I never had a friends like you Blaine and you mean so much to me. Just thank you.”

A smile spread on his lips and his eyes were a little teary when he wrapped his arms around me in a tight hug. “You  mean so much to me too,” he whispered in my ear before he pressed a little kiss on my neck.

We unwrapped ourselves out of the hug. He gave me a last smile before he took my hand. I looked up to see a few cameras pointed at us and Jeff, David & Nick waiting for us. “I think we've to go inside,” I said to Blaine.

He nodded and leaded me inside the building to the first award show I'd ever seen.

 

I was still smiling when we walked into one of the many after party's going on tonight. The back of my mind was still waiting for me to wake up even though I knew this was real. I had seen so many artists on stage this night and I had loved every minute of it.

Blaine had insisted we went to at least one after party afterwards though and that's why we were why we were right now. Blaine leaded me through the crowds towards the bar and ordered us both some coke, not wanting to get alcohol in my system. I just rolled my eyes and took the glass from him.

We stood there a little longer, watching the people around us getting drunk and dancing like fools. I giggled a little when I saw some people dance. I felt like someone was watching me and looked up to see Blaine look at me with a huge grin on his face. He drank the last of his glass and placed it on the bar. “You wane dance beautiful?”

He took my glace out of my hand and held out his hand. I took it and he leaded me to the middle of the dance floor.

I felt a little nervous. I had never dance with a guy before and Blaine seemed to sense my discomfort. “What wrong?” he asked with a frown on his face.

“I don't know how to do this,” I admitted with a blush on my cheek.

He cupped my cheek so I would look him in the eyes and smiled at me fondly. “Just listen to the music and your heart Kurt.”

I don't know if it was the high I was living on or just a feeling in the moment but I leaned towards him and pressed my lips against his. Nothing had ever felt that right as the single moment my lips brushed his. It was the moment Blaine breathed in deeply that I realized what I had done. I took a step backwards and looked at him with big eyes.

I felt panic build up in my chest. Blaine just stood there, looking at me with wide eyes and around us people stopped dancing and looked at us with a curious expression.

The panic took over my head, I couldn't stay. All those eyes on me made me nervous and realize how stupid I had been, thinking of what could have been.

 

In that moment I took the decision to turn around and run away as fast as I could while I felt a lonely tear roll over my cheek.
