Blaine continued to caress and kiss Kurt, feeling warm all over as he did so. He was happy. He couldn't explain what happened that made his actions change from energetic to calm. He only knew that somewhere between the moaning and the grasping a flash popped in his head of Kurt smiling. Kurt smiling was a wonderful thing to Blaine. His favorite part of being with Kurt was seeing that beautiful face smiling in gleefulness. Thinking of this again Blaine backed his head away from his boyfriend and smiled as he caressed his cheek. It was then in that moment Blaine realized something. His urgency to stay close to Kurt, his need to be tender with him, the warmth he felt at the simple thought of him; it all was telling him one thing. He rolled off Kurt, off the bed, and stood with his back to him. He zipped his pants and buttoned them back up before he clasped his hands behind his head.
Kurt became self-conscious and buttoned his pants as well. He sat up and swung his legs over the side of the bed. He waited in silence a few moments before forcing himself to look up at Blaine, who still had his back to him. "Did I do something wrong?" he asked.
Blaine dropped his arms as he spun on his heels. He looked upset. He stepped toward Kurt and dropped to his knees between Kurt's legs and settling his hands on Kurt's hips. "No," he replied comfortingly.
Kurt bowed his head, unable to look Blaine in the eyes. "What happened? Why'd you pull away?" He looked so sad. So helpless. This upset Blaine.
Blaine rose a hand and cupped the side of Kurt's face to make him look at his face. Kurt's head lolled like a doll and moved with Blaine's movements. "I realized something. It wasn't you; you're perfect. It was just something that I felt that suddenly became overwhelming."
Kurt brought his eyes up and look at Blaine through his eyelashes. He still looked sad. "And what was that?" he asked innocently.
Blaine smiled. He felt vulnerable, like a child. He exhaled through his nose and mustered his courage. He moved Kurt's face with his hand still cupping the porcelain skin, making sure Kurt was looking him in the eyes. "That I'm utterly, insanely, head over heels, in love with you." He left it at that. How else could one describe a strong emotion? he thought.
Kurt merely stared back, not expecting Blaine's confession. Up until now, Blaine's love for Kurt was something Kurt just knew about, but Blaine had never said it out loud. Although he felt and knew of Blaine's true feelings, he was still taken aback to actually hear them being expelled.
"Kurt?" Blaine asked. "Kurt say something." He smiled wearily not sure how he'd be taken.
Finding words, "Say it again," Kurt asked.
"I love you. I'm in love with you. There is no part of you that I'm not crazy about," he said without hesitation. He knelt up so he'd be taller and closer to Kurt's face.
He'd waited so long to hear those words. Now that he has finally heard them, he didn't know how to respond. He felt high. He closed his eyes and grinned slightly; sighing in relief. "Say it again," he asked once more.
Blaine chuckled lightly and moved closer to his love. "I love you." He leaned in and kiss him gently. "I love you." Another kiss. He moved closer. "I love you." Kiss. He was standing now, leaning down to kiss Kurt and slowly lowering him back down on the bed. "I." Kiss. "Love." Kiss. "You." Kiss. "Kurt."
