“I get to see you two days in a row! It must be my lucky week” Kurt giggled as he wrapped his arms around Blaine's neck, cuddling into his warmth. “Well if you answer yes to something I'm going to ask then maybe you will get to see me tomorrow too” Blaine murmured, kissing Kurt's cheek before they parted, going into the kitchen to look for a takeout menu. Kurt pulled his eyebrows together in confusion following behind Blaine, watching as he dug through drawers. “What question is that?” He wondered scanning Blaine's body as he pulled his phone out, holding the menu loosely between his fingers. “One second... Yes, hi, for takeout. Can I have one honey chicken and a vegetable lo mien please. Combos are great.” Kurt bit his lip, waiting patiently for the call to end. He seriously wanted to pounce on him. “Okay what were you asking?” Blaine turned around to face Kurt, leaning against the kitchen counter casually. “You know my take out order?” Kurt asked with a wide smile making Blaine give him a jokingly serious look, not stopping the grin from coming across his face. “Of course I do.” They both laughed looking away from one another shyly. “Oh and the question I wanted to ask you... Kurt, would you like to join me at the fire department tomorrow for dinner? All the guys are bringing people over for a family dinner of sorts.” Blaine explained trying not to sound nervous about it, when in reality he was kind of freaking out. “I would love to go” Kurt smiled accepting the peck on the lips from Blaine, feeling like things were finally going somewhere with them.

Blaine hovered over Kurt, their lips sliding together, tongues battling for dominance. It was quiet and comfortable. “Mm... Blaine wait” Kurt placed a gentle hand on Blaine's chest, his blue eyes opening slowly to meet dark hazel. They caught their breaths, Blaine rolling onto his back while Kurt sat up, fixing his hair. “Is something wrong?” Kurt shook his head looking down to the bed, closing his eyes tightly. “No. There is definitely nothing wrong with that, I just don't want us to be the type of people that fool around in bed every time we see each other.” Blaine nodded understandingly, reaching over to take Kurt's hand in his. He felt like they didn't do it that often but if Kurt didn't want to he wasn't going to push anything with him. “I do like kissing you though” he admitted softly, breaking the silence between them as he rolled over to face Blaine, a wide smile on his face. “Do you now?” Blaine asked playfully facing Kurt, leaning closer so that their lips were brushing against each other. Kurt nodded closing the gap between them, taking Blaine's lips into his own and giving his hand a comforting squeeze. Blaine had to admit it, he saw fireworks behind his closed eyes and he just didn't know what to do about it.

Kurt giggled as he came back up from the end of the bed and pecked Blaine's lips, running a hand through his wild curls. “I really enjoy doing that for you” Blaine chuckled darkly running a hand up and down Kurt's bare spine, enjoying his skin on his. “I enjoy that you enjoy doing that for me.” They both laughed, lying together under the covers cuddling close. Blaine's hand traveled south stroking Kurt gently, kissing around his neck. “I think I need to return the favor babe” he mumbled, his lips traveling down Kurt's body, disappearing under the comforter.

“I said we wouldn't fool around and what did I do? Sucked him off, that's what I did. Why? Because I like him, a lot!” he yelled as he entered the apartment seeing Rachel sitting on the couch with Finn, who now looked extremely uncomfortable. “Bro, I didn't need to know that. I don't think I can ever look at Blaine again” Finn muttered miserably shaking his head trying to forget everything Kurt just said. He was mortified. “Sweetie, go in your room, I'll be there in a minute, calm down” Rachel ordered, kissing Finn on the cheek before following behind Kurt to his bedroom, shutting the door behind her so Finn didn't have to be scarred anymore than he already was. “I feel dirty doing this with him Rachel; I'm not a casual dater I like to be in a stable relationship before being intimate with someone! This is backwards and I don't want to keep bothering him to make a decision because I'm scared of pushing him away...” Kurt rambled, getting emotional about it. “I don't want to lose him before having him” Rachel sighed sadly, sitting down next to her friend, rubbing his back soothingly. “It’s okay to not do things in the right order Kurt, Sebastian and Liam had sex before dating and they've been together almost three years. You and Blaine are just doing your own thing and that's okay.” Kurt bit his lip, resting his head on his friends shoulder. He didn't know how much longer he could do this and not pester Blaine every single second for an answer. “I think I'm falling for him Rach, and it’s scaring me.”

Sebastian knocked on Blaine's door, tapping his foot impatiently. “Come in.” He opened the door slowly and peeked in to see his friend on the bed doing some paperwork. “Hey Sebastian, what's up?” he asked happily, glancing up from his papers to give a small smile. Sebastian frowned taking a seat on the bed. “Nothing much. How's Kurt?” Blaine grinned, nodding his head. “He's good; he’s coming to that dinner at the department tonight. This is definitely going to be the final make or break I think. If tonight goes smoothly and the guys at the station like him then I think it’s time I deal with my fear, put the past behind and give my heart to Kurt.” Sebastian didn't know who the hell he was talking to, but this didn't seem like Blaine. He wasn't going to complain though. He had to admit, he was happy that he was going to finally commit to Kurt and give him a real relationship. This seeing each other every other week thing isn't normal with couples who live in the same state and a subway ride away. “That's great, I'm really happy for you. But you do know you need to tell Kurt about 'he who shall not be named' so he understands why you're quiet about things and took so damn long” Blaine nodded even though he looked nervous. He had to do this. It wasn't fair to Kurt anymore.�

“Hey, I'm waiting outside the station; I don't really know where to go” Kurt said shyly, looking up at the building as he held the phone against his ear. “Alright babe I'll be right there” Blaine smirked at Nick as he pocketed his cell running down the stairs and to the side door. They embraced as soon Blaine stepped out the door. “Thank you for inviting me tonight. Am I the first one here?” Kurt wondered as they entered the building, his eyes wandering around the room. Blaine shook his head chuckling at Kurt's curiosity. “You're very welcome, but no you aren't the first. Come on, you have a lot of people to meet” Kurt smiled at him, his eyes flicking to Blaine's lips silently asking for a quick kiss. Blaine smiled back keeping his hand on the small of Kurt's back.

Nick saw Blaine walk into the dining room with someone tall and stunning. That had to be the infamous Kurt. “Hey there Blaine!” Nick took his girlfriend Sophie by the hand leading her over to his friend. “Hey Nick. Hi Sophie, how are you?” Blaine greeted leaning forward to kiss her cheek. She smiled widely and pulled him into a hug, glad to see him so perky. “I'm doing good B, glad to see you smiling” she whispered patting his back gently before pulling away. Blaine gave her a nod, his eyes glancing next to him. “Um Nick, Sophie, this is... my friend Kurt. Kurt this is my best friend Nick and his girlfriend Sophie” Kurt's mouth dropped open slightly, his heart dropping out of his chest Friend. He was Blaine's friend. He pursed his lips to form a smile, recovering from the hurt quickly. “Hi Nick, Sophie! So nice to meet you!” They all shook hands, Sophie offering to take Kurt and introduce him to some of the girls so Blaine didn't have to. Kurt nodded excitedly in agreement anything to get away from Blaine right now. He could barely even look at him.
During dinner Kurt was stewing with anger and hurt, he felt used and uncared for, not even hungry anymore. “Hey, you alright?” Blaine asked quietly leaning in close, a small, comforting smile on his face. Kurt nodded softly faking a grin as he picked at his pasta. “Good. When you're done I want to show you around, okay?” Blaine smirked, nudging his shoulder with Kurt's playfully, giving him a kiss on the cheek. “Okay, sounds good” Kurt said releasing a sigh as he smiled widely trying to convince Blaine he was fine. He made some small talk but mostly listened and nodded when needed, still picking at his food, the spot where Blaine kissed his cheek burning. “I'm ready when you are” Blaine murmured close to Kurt's ear, his nose resting on his temple. “Yeah, let’s go.” Kurt stood and picked his plate up, following Blaine over to the counter.

“And to conclude our tour, this is my home away from home” Blaine announced, opening the door to his room, Kurt stepping in first surveying the place. “This is cute” he said quietly spinning around slowly, taking it all in, wondering what to say first on his lists of concerns. “Yeah it is, so are you.” Blaine mumbled with a goofy smile, shutting the door behind him and swiftly taking Kurt into his arms. “Blaine stop” Kurt nudged his shoulders gently, taking a step back. Blaine frowned, trying to reach for him again. “Stop Blaine... I can't do this” Kurt crossed his arms over his chest self consciously, looking down at the ground. “Did I do something wrong?” Blaine asked; his voice thick with hurt. Kurt nodded biting his lip, wondering whether he should be angry or upset. “I'm your friend?” He emphasized, trying not to cry. Blaine's eyebrows pulled together in confusion wondering why Kurt was being like this. “I mean I kind of thought we were more than friends. We hang out a lot, we act like a couple, you sleep over my place, I sleep over at your place. I mean God Blaine we've fooled around in bed and on the couch and in the fucking shower. If that's not more than friends then I don't know what is!” Kurt yelled his emotions all over the place. Blaine stared at him blankly taking it all in, the gears in his head turning. “I know you needed time, but how fucking long can I wait for you Blaine?” He took a deep breath, watching it all register on Blaine's face before walking toward the door. “I don't think I can do this anymore... I need to go” Kurt turned around, his hand on the door knob hoping maybe Blaine will stop him as he walked out and down the hall. “Kurt wait, stop!” He got his wish, but was too upset to care.

Kurt didn't stop; he left the station and walked down about two blocks, Blaine following him the whole way calling after him. “Kurt, please! I fucked up, let me explain!” He yelled, sounding desperate and hurt but Kurt didn't care, he couldn't care. “Let you explain what Blaine? That you just wanted someone to fuck around with? That you never wanted a relationship in the first place?” Kurt stopped in his place, his hands covering his face, taking a few deep breaths. Blaine stopped behind him, attempting to place a hand on his shoulder but deciding against it. “I do want a relationship with you Kurt, please, I just... It’s a long story.” Kurt chuckled taking small steps forward, distancing himself. “It’s a long story” he repeated, laughing softly, shaking his head. “Okay whatever, bye.” He walked away, leaving Blaine standing there on the sidewalk watching him, tears stinging his eyes. Before he was too far Kurt turned around, him and Blaine staring at one another with tear streaked faces. “You're a coward Blaine!”

Blaine left and walked in the opposite direction from home, going somewhere other than there. “Hey Coop... Mind if I come and stay the night?” He questioned sounding like a lost little boy, with nowhere to go. Blaine bit his lip and held back a sob, biting his fist as he replayed the last ten minutes. “Yeah I'm fine. I just... I really need you bro. I'll be there soon” Blaine hung up the phone and stopped on the sidewalk wiping his face, holding back his tears the best to his ability. He really screwed up. He lost the one thing he thought he could see a future with. Before he knew it he was walking again and ended up at the door of his brother's apartment knocking gently. “Blaine, man, you look like a wreck” Cooper said gently taking his little brother into arms, letting him cry freely. There were no more words needed to be said. It was silently understood that Blaine didn't need to talk at this moment, he just needed to be held and cared for without judgment, and Cooper knew he was the only one who could give that to him.
