It's been two weeks since Coop's visit. Tonight is Friday night, Blaine and Kurt decide that since Kurt's house would be empty, they'd hang out in his living room and watch a movie. After a seemingly endless argument, they agree on something. Kurt slides it into the player and they settle onto couch with a bowl of popcorn and Blaine crosses his legs beneath him.
About halfway through the movie, Blaine feels Kurt's eyes on his face.
"What?" He looks over to Kurt curiously. Kurt looks down for a second, deciding something.
"It's just..." He looks around the room at everything except for Blaine's eyes. Blaine hits the mute button on the remote.
"What? Please tell me." He pokes Kurt in the side. Kurt finally meets his eyes, cheeks burning pink.
"I'm not sure I can say it. I..." he tries, but he can't bring himself to say the words out loud. I could always just show him... he thinks but decides against that plan quickly. As awkward as saying this might be, it'd be even more awkward to try something and get rejected. So he forms the words.
"I really like hanging out with you, Blaine. A lot. And... It's different than how I like to hang out with Rachel and Mercedes. Or with Finn." He can see something in Blaine's eyes, but he's so caught up in his thoughts that he doesn't recognize it as adoration.
Is this really happening? Is it possible that Kurt likes me? I thought that once you get friend-zoned it's over... Maybe he's saying something else...
"What I'm trying to say is that I-I... Really like you, Blaine." Kurt admits, looking down again.
DO SOMETHING! Blaine's mind screams at him. Before he can even comprehend it, his hand moves and he runs his fingertips through Kurt's hair. Then he's gently pulling Kurt's chin up so that he can look at his eyes.
"Kurt." He whispers. Then he's pressing his lips to Kurt's gingerly, but eagerly at the same time. It's slightly awkward at first, but after a few seconds, Kurt melts into the kiss and they press closer, their lips molding together, their sighs the only noise in the otherwise empty room. After a moment, Blaine pulls back.
"Wow," Kurt says, voice breathy and higher than normal. "Not really what I was expecting, but damn."
"What does that mean?" Blaine asks, obviously taking Kurt's words in a bad way.
"I just meant that I was expecting rejection... I'm not complaining, if that's what you were assuming." Kurt explains.
"So the 'damn' was a good thing?" Blaine asks.
"Definitely." Kurt smiles, scooting so close to Blaine that he's practically in his lap. Blaine smiles and turns the volume back up. Throughout the rest of the movie, Blaine runs his fingers through Kurt's hair.
After the movie ends, Kurt catches Blaine's hand and intertwines their fingers.
"So. Do we tell people or keep this a secret?" He gestures between them at 'this'.
"Well, considering we spend all our time together anyway, it wouldn't be that hard to keep it a secret. Then again, we can't do this in the halls if it's a secret." Blaine squeezes Kurt's hand tightly. "And I know you'll probably want to tell Mercedes, right? So how about you tell whoever you want. Be it only Mercedes, or the whole of McKinley. Or no one. I'm prepared to tell the world about us, but I won't be offended if you want to keep it a secret." Blaine offers and all Kurt can think about is the way Blaine says 'us'. He sits dazedly for a moment, before glancing at the clock.
"How about we start with my dad?" Kurt suggests and sure enough, Burt walks through the door seconds later.
"Let me talk." Kurt warns, holding on to Blaine's hand like it's life support.
"Kurt?" Burt calls.
"In here, dad!" Kurt replies, watching the doorway as his dad appears.
"What's goin' on?" Burt asks quickly, not even noticing Kurt's death-grip on Blaine's hand.
"Um. Dad? Can I talk to you?" Kurt glances at Blaine. "Alone?" Blaine gets the hint.
"I’m just gonna..." He trails off, heading in the direction of the bathroom.
"Okay. So what'd you wanna say, kiddo?" Burt asks obliviously. Kurt chuckles at the nickname. not such a kiddo anymore, dad. he thinks.
"Dad, I like Blaine." He looks pointedly at his dad, "And I told him today and... And he kissed me." Kurt finishes, his eyes shining.
"Why are you crying? Isn't that a good thing?" Burt looks confused.
"Yes. That's WHY I'm crying. I'm so relieved; so happy."
"hm well, we can talk about this more later. I'm happy for you kid." Burt pats his shoulder and walks away as Blaine walks into the room.

"Mr. Schue, I have a song." Kurt says as soon as he walks into the choir room Monday afternoon.
"Let's hear it!" Mr. Schue sits down and Kurt pulls out a sheet of paper.
"Baine?" Kurt offers him the paper, then says something to the band. Blaine's eyebrows pull together at Kurt's selection, but he stands up to sing the male vocals.
Mercedes practically squeals, having already known Kurt's plan.
"I gotta say something that I've been thinking about
I can't wait to lay around with you
And tell you all the secrets
I've been keeping to myself..."
Blaine sings, realizing the truth in the words.
"It's been a while since I've felt butterflies
Do you feel the same way too?
If every single second could last that much longer,
Would you hold me... and kiss me again?
Underneath the moonlight
You're more than a friend
Oh... I knew it from the first time
Yeah...
Hold me, feel my heart beat,
Put your arms around me, and kiss me again
Kiss me again... "
Blaine is having a hard time focusing on the lyrics because Kurt is making heart-eyes at him. Luckily he catches his cue.
"I gotta say I wasn't expecting you to come this way
And fall into my arms
And now I know I can't deny these feelings any longer"
"I close my eyes, I can't stop thinking about you
Crack a smile, I just can't lose
At a mile a minute, my heart beats to the limit when I'm with you
So, kiss me again
Underneath the moonlight
Oh... You're more than a friend
Yeah... I knew it from the first time
Hold me, feel my heart beat,
Put your arms around me and kiss me again
I can't let you go, can't let you float away
'Cuz that would be a mistake
I'm not ready to run
Can't let you go to waste
No, no, no...
And kiss me again
Underneath the moonlight
Oh... you're more than a friend
I knew it from the first time
Yeah... Hold me, feel my heart beat,
Put your arms around me and kiss me again
Hold me, feel my heart beat,
Put your arms around me and kiss me again,
And again, and again...
Oh kiss me again...”
The choir room goes silent apart from Mercedes and Rachel, who are clapping wildly. There is an electricity in the air and everyone can feel it.
Kurt and Blaine quietly take their seats between the girls.
"You two are so adorable!" Rachel says, mock-pinching Blaine's cheek. He sighs.
"Please let go of my face, Rachel." he begs. She pouts a bit, but removes her hand, gently patting his shoulder before pulling away.
