Months flew and it was time to return to school after Christmas break. Over the time passed Kurt and I grew even closer. It was safe to say that we were best friends. Of course, our flirting was inevitable, but that didn’t keep us from remaining only friends. I knew I couldn’t be with Kurt like that properly until I revealed the truth of my past. And I had a feeling I would soon be telling him.

I also have become quite close with all the members of Glee club. Especially Tina, Mike, Sam, Artie and Brittany. I really feel I can be myself around all of them though and they accept me for who I am.

I arrived to school that day, driven by Abbey, and waited by my locker, as I always do to meet up with Kurt. It wasn’t long before those eyes caught my attention. There he was striding down the hall. His grin becoming even wider as he caught my eye. I couldn’t help but smile back to him.

“Hey, you.” Kurt said leaning against the lockers.
“Good morning, my good sir.” I told him. We have been acting like this to each other for quite a while. Deep down I think we both realise that this obvious flirting wasn’t in a friendly manner, but it’s just how we naturally act around each other.
“How are you today?” I asked him. His smile faded.
“Blaine, I know we planned to hang out this afternoon, but I have Glee.” He revealed to me.

That was the only problem about my friendship with the Glee club. For all the social aspects I was pretty much in the club. I even went to sectionals to support them. Not that I could hear them anyway. But when they were all talking about singing and music I couldn’t help but feel a bit left out and depressed.

“Oh, that’s ok.” I told him. “We can hang out tomorrow.” I know he knew I was a bit upset, but I tried to shake it off. “Blaine, why don’t you come to Glee? It may be a bit boring but you can hang out and we can go for coffee after?”

Well, if I learnt something about myself with my friendship with Kurt, is that I’d do pretty much anything to spend more time with him.

“Please Blaine!” Kurt pleaded.
“Sure, Kurt. I’ll go.” I told him.

Kurt’s smile reappeared, as he linked our arms and headed off to class.

We sat next to Tina, who was happily awaiting us.

“Hey Kurt, hey Blaine!” She greeted us cheerfully.
“Hi Tina, how was your break?” I asked her.
“It was great. Spent most of the time with Mike and my family.”
“Aww, that’s so sweet.” Kurt added.
We spent most of the day catching up with all the Glee club members and watched Rachel rant how she deserved the solo for regionals.

“So Blaine, you’re going to regionals right?” Artie asked me at lunch.
“Of course, I’ll always go to competitions to support you guys. You’re all my friends.” I told him.

I saw Brittany run up to me. “Dolphin, Kurtie tells me you’re coming to Glee. Yay, I love you, boo!” She said excitedly, before hugging me. She is seriously the sweetest girl I have met.
“I love you too, Britt!” I replied.

Later during lunch, I was talking to Mercedes who was really close to Kurt.

“Have you asked him out, yet?” She asked me. I sighed.
“Once again, ‘Cedes, I have to tell you I didn’t. I don’t think he likes me back and he is just very affectionate in a friendly way.” I told her.
“ No, you are so wrong boy. Do you see him acting like that towards anyone else? No please, please, please! Ask him out?” She pleaded.
“I will, eventually. But don’t rush us to be in a relationship. We’ve known each other about only 4 months.”

“Yeah, but you two are crazy about each other.”

I actually had fun at Glee club this afternoon. Everyone tried to get me involved. Even though I couldn’t hear the music they taught me dance moves and they talked to me.

I actually felt like I belonged in the club.

I was telling Kurt all this when we were at the Lima Bean.

“I’m so proud of you Blaine! We’ve only known each other for a couple of months but I have seen you grow. I am so happy that you are belonging. I am always here to talk to, though if you are having an off day or anything.” Kurt told me.

“Thank you Kurt. I don’t know what I did to deserve you.” I told him honestly. I reached and grabbed his hand. Kurt and I have been holding hands whenever we are alone. We have become even closer lately leaning on each other while watching movies, lingering kisses on the cheek.

The feeling of the crush I had towards him was gone and empowered by this connection I had with him. I knew I was falling for him and I trusted him.

“Hey Kurt, do you …um..Do you feel this connection between us?” I asked shyly.

“Of course Blainers, you are my best friend!” Kurt said with confidence.
“Umm, but do you ever feel more then friendship?” I asked him, feeling all the blood rush to my face. “Blaine. Are you asking me out?” He asked me with a shy smile.

“Um, Kinda. I want to, but I want us to be comfortable with it and I don’t want you to be pressured into anything because I would never do anything to hurt you, you’re my best friend. “ I started, before pausing for s second. “But before we do anything, I need to tell you everything about my past.”

“Of course, Blaine I’d do anything for you!” He admitted. “ When ever you’d want to talk. I’m here.”

“Wait, Kurt. You like me. Like that?” I asked.

“Of course, silly.” Kurt said, “ I thought the glances and the kisses and the hand holding were hints.”

“Really.”

“Really, Blaine.” Kurt said. “I’m falling for you.”

“I am too.” I added.

They sat in silence with their hands still entwined, staring into each other’s eyes.

“Kurt. I’m ready.” I said, “I’m ready to tell you everything.”
