It takes them a few moments but when they finally look back at each other, Kurt breathes in deeply at the sight he has in front of him. Blaine shyly looking up at him, a blush on his cheeks and his lips slightly parted and Kurt can't help himself but he leans back closer, kissing him shortly on the lips once more before he sits back up straighter.

"You kissed me back." Kurt says, his voice a bit hoarse and trembling minutely and it only makes Blaine laugh out softly and replying, "You kissed me first." 
"I did, didn't I." It's now Kurt's turn to actually start to blush and he doesn't even know why he does. It's not like it's something he should be ashamed of but in the end, no matter how much he wants to come off as a bad ass, this was his first real kiss. He keeps his gaze locked with Blaine's as he lowers his hand to his lap but then takes Blaine's in his and tangles their fingers together. "I actually wanted to do that for a while." Kurt adds as Blaine drops his gaze to their hands now on his knee. 

Blaine doesn't want to show just how much this actually is affecting him but he can't help a few tears that are escaping his eyes as they slowly start to run over his cheeks. Keeping his eyes downcast his mind fills with a lot of images of what could be, him coming home with Kurt by his side, introducing him as his boyfriend but soon  they get overshadowed by the visions of what would actually happen if he did just that. And he wants to be able to come back home but he doesn't want Kurt to be exposed to any of their antics that will surely only hurt this boy right next to him right now. "I didn't want to admit it, but I wanted you to do that for a long time too." He looks up now, his tear filled eyes on those beautiful blue ones of Kurt and a shaky smile appears on his mouth, "I was fighting that for so long, to be honest that was one of the reasons I ran from your bedroom a little while back. I just ... I felt I was so close to closing that gap between us and it scared me so much to think that maybe after all you wouldn't want that. At least not with me." He sighs when Kurt hurries to say, "Blaine, why didn't you talk to me? You knew that you could, about anything and you must've had an idea of what I felt or thought about you." 

"I'm sorry ..." Blaine mumbles as he sits up straighter now both his hands clasping Kurt's and adds even quieter, "Kiss me again, please." And it sounds just so broken and desperate that Kurt can't deny him even if he would want to. He just moves forward again as their hands let go of each other and he frames Blaine's face with his fingers, pressing their mouths together in a kiss a lot more certain and less tentative than before. They shift in their seats, Kurt now practically on his knees on the couch next to Blaine's and Blaine's hands grab a hold of his shirt. Kurt doesn't even care that he's crinkling the fabric like that, all he can think about is the feeling of Blaine's lips against his, the small encouraging moans that reverberate into both their mouths until they break the kiss purely out of lack of oxygen. Kurt wipes the tear tracks on Blaine's cheeks away with his thumb as he just watches the guy now. "Are you okay?" he asks and Blaine smiles in return, his eyes focused on Kurt as he nods, "Yeah, I am now. Thank you ..."

"Why are you thanking me silly?" Kurts asks with a laugh, "It was my pleasure kissing you, you know." With a chuckle, Blaine closes his eyes for just a moment as he says, "Not for that,... Well, yeah, for that too but just for coming here, and just being you." Kurt's breath hitches for a second but then he regains his posture and slides a hand over Blaine's shoulder as he sits back against the back of the couch again, "Come here." he softly asks, gesturing for Blaine to get back into his arms which he does immediately and they just stay there for another while, Blaine laying with his head against Kurt's shoulder and both of them quietly enjoying each other's company.

They don't really notice the time they stay like that, Kurt's mind reeling from the feeling inside of him that's seems to want to burst out and a smile lingers on his face all the while. Blaine just stays with his head on Kurt's shoulder, not quite believing that this is actually true but the feeling of the other's arm around his shoulder and Kurt's hand absentmindedly trailing over his upper arm,keeping him grounded and sure that this is indeed happening. When Kurt gets his eyes on his watch though, he mumbles quietly after pressing a soft kiss on the top of Blaine's hair, "You know, we probably should start working on our essay, it's not like we don't need the grade."

It takes a few moments for Blaine to react, Kurt already wanting to check to see if the boy hadn't fallen asleep on him, but eventually he lifts his head and looks up at Kurt. Every time it takes Kurt's breath away, the soft shade of his eyes, the never really leaving sparkle that seems to be there and he can't help himself but press their lips together in a short and soft kiss once more. As he leans back he smiles fondly at the guy, "I can't believe I actually get to do that now."
"Trust me, neither can I." Blaine admits quietly and then adds, seeming a bit reluctant, "But yeah, I guess you are right. And well, I need to work tonight too, so can't make it too late."A bit surprised Kurt looks at him but before he can say anything, Blaine cuts in, "Yeah, I wanted to not go tonight but I had to fill in for someone who's sick now so ... It sucks but you know, I can't not do it."
His entire posture deflates a little when he says it, especially now that they both got this far with each other. He hates having to set a time right now to their time together but he has to. 

"It's okay," Kurt says softly, reaching out his hand to tangle their fingers together once more, "I'm not saying I like it, but well, can't be helped right? Let's just get our work done as quick as possible and then we'll find a way to pass time until then."With an almost shy smile, Blaine squeezes his fingers around Kurt's before nodding and turning a bit to grab his bag.

The next few hours are mostly spent just on the couch or on the floor in front of it, Kurt scribbling away on his notepad while they go back and forth with what's supposed to be in the essay. And when Blaine suddenly notices it's nearing 6pm, he sighs heavily before he looks out the small window opposite them. 
"Mom and dad will probably be home soon, and I need to go get ready for tonight too. We should head off. I don't want anyone to find us here."

Kurt follows Blaine's gaze for a moment and says, "Of course, come on, I'll drive you home." He can see the tension starting to build up in the boy again and when they gathered all their stuff together, almost ready to leave the tree house, Kurt turns back around, making Blaine practically stumble against him. He lays his hand on Blaine's shoulder, sliding it back onto his neck and closes the little space between them, brushing his lips over Blaine's with a contented sigh and feeling Blaine shudder a little as he deepens the kiss. As soon as he stops, Kurt whispers, "Are you okay, though?"

With a shaky smile, Blaine answers, "I am now, with you." It's all he says, but it's more than enough for now as he grabs Kurt's hand in his and guides him back down and across the yard. He helps him back over the fence and as soon as they're both settled into Kurt's car, he lets out a sigh of relief. 

The ride is quiet though, both guys a bit sunken in thought and in no time Kurt stops his car in front of the diner, shutting off his engine and turns towards Blaine. 
"I guess I'll see you tomorrow in school then?" he asks with a soft smile on his lips, "Why don't I come and pick you up?" He's not sure why but he's surprised by the fact that Blaine so easily went along with him, not even mentioning he had driven there himself but he lets it go for now opting to wait for Blaine's reaction to his question.
For a second Blaine looks up at Kurt in surprise, "You want to pick me up to go to school? Together?" 
"Well yeah, of course I want to." Kurt answers hurriedly, "Or if you don't want that, that's okay too you know, I was just thinking out loud that it might be nice now that we ... Well, you know. You don't have to though ..."

Blaine cuts off Kurts rambling with a hand on his knee, squeezing it gently as he says, "I'd love that, Kurt. Thank you, I'll see you tomorrow morning then." He leans over the console quickly, pecking a kiss on Kurt's cheek before he gets out of the car, heading straight for the diner with a little wave and a smile over his shoulder.
It leaves Kurt stunned for a little while, looking at where Blaine disappeared with his mouth slightly opened before he regains his senses and a smile lights up his face as he starts the car again and drives off towards home.
