Blaine face planted on his bed at the station, not bothering to change clothes. He was too worn out and sore, its been a tough week. “Hey man, you doing okay?” Nick popped his head into the room, chuckling at the sight of his friend. A groan filled the room, Blaine rolling over from his spot, giving a small nod. “Good to know. Dinner should be ready soon.” Nick said with a smile, flicking on the light before heading downstairs to the dining room. “Fuck you!” Blaine yelled, rubbing his eyes as he sat up, moaning. He had time before dinner so he pulled out his phone, needing some comfort. “Hey.. I'm sorry we haven't talked.” He mumbled, smirking as Kurt went on about how he was worried. It made him feel good. “I'm fine babe.. When I wasn't out working, I was at the station sleeping. I think I'll be off tomorrow though, I'm sure the chief will call me in after dinner.” As Blaine stood, he hissed, stretching his arms above his head, taking a deep breath. “Just my muscles Kurt, don't worry. Hopefully I can see you tomorrow. I'll call you okay?” He smiled widely, loving how much Kurt cares about his safety. “I promise. Bye.” With his whole attitude changed he walked downstairs to the dining room, he was starving. “Someone looks significantly more happy.” Nick pointed out, raising an eyebrow in suspicion as Blaine took a seat with his bowl of pasta. David shook his head, bumping shoulders with his friend, making him wince. “I am, thank you for noticing.” The guys laughed at how formal Blaine was being, noticing his wide smile. “Did you talk to your boyfriend?” David pushed, his hand ruffling up Blaine's hair. They all laughed, messing with Blaine. “He isn't my boyfriend. Yet. Leave it alone guys.” He warned, a little edge to his voice to prove he's serious. “You'll bring him around one day though, right?” Nick wondered. He wants to meet the mysterious Kurt who could manage to make his friend smile like he used to.
Kurt entered the apartment quietly, setting his stuff down. “Hey there.” He looked up and smiled at Rachel, walking over to kiss her on the cheek. “Hi. How was your day?” Kurt asked, taking a seat on the arm of the couch. She gave a shrug, placing her binder aside. “It was okay. We picked out invitations and flowers. Its slowly coming together.” Rachel explained with a grin, she was beyond excited for this wedding. “That's great! Don't forget when you look at dresses I need to be there!” Kurt said happily, leaning down to hug her. This was it, they were growing up. His best friend is getting married in ten months. “You will. I trust your approval.” They laughed, both remembering prom and how Kurt approved all of the girls dresses, he was a natural when it came to fashion. “Good. I'm going to go get ready. Blaine wants me to stay the night.” Rachel frowned, turning around as Kurt walked to his room. “You don't think you're rushing? I know you two are adults, but you've hung out twice and this will be your second sleep over with him. You don't think that's much?” She has no idea about anything because her and Kurt don't talk much anymore. Sebastian doesn't know anything from Blaine either because he's always working. Its almost like Kurt and Blaine are keeping this a secret. “No Rachel I don't think its much. We haven't seen each other all week, if I thought it was too much I would have said no. I want to see him.” Kurt told her, going into his room to pack a bag. Tonight may not be as enjoyable as he thought with all Rachel said being on his mind.
“Hi.” Kurt mumbled into his shoulder as he was scooped up into Blaine's arms. They stood in the empty doorway, holding each other, for what seemed like hours. “Its crazy, how much I've missed you.” Blaine said quietly, pulling away slightly to look at Kurt. They smiled shyly at one another, leaning in cautiously for a kiss. “Mm.. I've missed you too.” Kurt admitted, brushing his nose against Blaine's, pecking his lips. Blaine smiled, shutting the door. “Come here.” He muttered, lifting him up, Kurt wrapping his legs around Blaine's waist. Kurt squealed happily, giggling as Blaine sat on the couch, looking up at him with shining hazel eyes. Blaine hasn't felt this happy in a long time, it was almost scary how comfortable he was acting, being so playful with Kurt. “How was your day?” Kurt smiled warmly, pressing his forehead against Blaine's. “It was fine. How about yours?” He gave a shrug and lifted his hand, his fingers slowly sliding down Kurt's cheek and under his chin, lifting it slightly. “Tough, but fine.” He breathed out, his eyes asking for approval. Kurt nodded gently, his heart racing as Blaine closed the gap between their lips, kissing him tenderly.
Sebastian moved the key around, noticing the door was already unlocked. That isn't like Blaine. “Mm.. yes, so close.” His eyebrows pulled together as he stepped in quietly, peeking from behind the wall. “Oh, Kurt, fuck.” Blaine groaned loudly, Sebastian's eyes widening in horror. He was not expecting to come home to his best friend dry humping with his boyfriend. Heavy breathing filled the room as Blaine sat on the couch, Kurt straddling his lap, head resting on his shoulder. Before he could be caught Sebastian backed out of the apartment and shut the door as quietly as possible, pulling out his phone. “Holy shit Rachel... You will not believe what I just walked in on. I'm coming over.”
Blaine sighed in content as Kurt lazily pressed kisses to his neck and shoulder, their breathing evening out. “That was amazing.” He whispered, his hands gently roaming Kurt's back, as they sit on the couch, surrounded by peaceful silence. Kurt nodded, biting his lip as he took Blaine's hands into his, lacing their fingers. “Mind if I take a shower?” Blaine smiled and leaned up, pecking Kurt's lips. “No go ahead. I'll get one after you.” He said, helping Kurt stand up from the couch, their hands still laced together. It was quiet as they looked at one another, just smiling. “Go take a shower, Kurt.” They both chuckled, sharing one more kiss before he ran off to clean up.
Kurt was on the couch when Blaine came out in sweatpants, drying his hair with a towel. “Want to order take out?” He nodded, watching as Blaine took a seat, his hair all over the place. Kurt giggled and lied down, his head resting in Blaine's lap. “You are too cute.” Kurt mumbled, rolling over to look up at him, smiling widely as he reached his hand up to shake it through Blaine's curls. “Thank you gorgeous.” Blaine leaned down and took Kurt's lips into his own, hand splayed over his stomach to hold him in place. “You're okay with that happened earlier, right?” Kurt bit his lip, resting his hand over Blaine's cautiously, Rachel's words coming back to mind. Maybe they are rushing this. He nodded, playing with Kurt's hair, a peaceful smile on his face. Blaine's mind was racing and thinking back on what went on between them earlier. He loved it, he craved the contact, but they were moving fast. “I liked it Kurt, I like you. We need to kind of slow it down though, just a little.” Kurt nodded understandingly, standing up, trying to pull Blaine with him. “Come on. I'm hungry, lets order something to eat.” He said happily, making a mental note to take this thing of theirs step by step.
Rachel's eyes widened as Sebastian told his story with more detail than she would have liked. “I'm sorry you had to endure that.” She muttered, glad Finn wasn't here to listen to that. He wasn't even comfortable with the fact that Rachel set Kurt up with a stranger. “I know its going fast, but they seem to really like each other. Liam and I slept together before we were officially dating so they are making better decisions I guess.” Sebastian said positively, giving his friend a shrug. “Plus their adults. Dating isn't the same as it is in high school.” Rachel nodded in agreement, she was worried about Kurt getting hurt. When his last relationship ended he shut down and worked all the time. She didn't want to see him like that again. “Yeah I know. I just worry.” She admitted quietly, giving a shy smile to Sebastian who nodded. “I understand. I feel the same about Blaine. The poor guy can't afford getting hurt, but I have a feeling this could work out for the long run.” Rachel raised an eyebrow, seeing the genuine smile on her friend's face. He really means it.
Blaine nuzzled his face into Kurt's neck, holding him tighter. “Morning handsome.” Kurt greeted, his arms resting over Blaine's as they spooned, legs tangled together. Blaine groaned tiredly, kissing the back of his neck, sighing. “Morning.” He grumbled, sitting up on his elbow, looking down on a happy Kurt. They smiled at one another, sharing a small morning kiss. “How did you sleep?” Kurt wondered, his fingers sliding across Blaine's chest, kissing his shoulder. Blaine closed his eyes, chills running through his body. “Good.” Kurt bit his lip, loving that he could have this effect on Blaine. Without another word Blaine lay back down, letting Kurt have his way, hands roaming his body, massaging his sore muscles. He'd be lying if he said he didn't miss this. Lying around in bed with someone, having sleepovers and talking about anything and everything that could come to mind. All that time he denied to be set up on dates when all he really wanted was to be close to someone again. Blaine's just hoping he doesn't let his past get the best of him, he doesn't want it to cloud his thoughts on the future. He can't have it hold him back.
