The day couldn’t pass fast enough and both boys were restless, waiting for the bell to ring.
When it finally did, Blaine jumped up and rushed down to his dorm to change.
“What should I wear? Kurt is always so fashionable and I don’t have anything nice!” He groaned angrily, pulling out everything from his trunk before tossing all of it away.
“I’m such a loser; I really need some new clothes…”
“Relax, Romeo!” Tina came in to the room, putting her arms around Blaine’s shoulder. “I’m sure he will love you in whatever you’re wearing. Now let’s see what we can do with you.”
She stepped to the pile of pants on the bed and after skimming through them, she found a dark blue one.
“You should go in this; it would do wonders with your bubble butt.” Tina said with a grin.
Blaine was blushing bright red, looking at the girl like she had some mental problems.
“You’re out of your mind. I don’t have a good ass, and I’m certainly not wearing those, they are too tight.”
Tina rolled her eyes. She was certain that Blaine could be hot as hell if he wasn't so self-conscious and wouldn't hide himself under the mask of a nerd.
“If you want my help, shut up and let me style you. I promise that he will love it.”
Blaine nodded with a shy smile.
“Thank you.”
Tina sighed and embraced the boy in a tight hug, caressing his back.
“You really should see yourself as we see you.” She let go and turned back to the bed full of clothing. “So we have the pants, what should you wear with them? A-ha!” Tina held up a simple green button-up shirt, handing it to Blaine. “It will bring out your eyes and I’m sure he likes the color. Leave the top three buttons open and loose the hair gel, honey.”
Blaine’s eyes widened with horror and he put his arms around his hair, protecting it from the mere thought of un-geling.
“No way! Have you ever seen it untamed? It’s terrible and definitely not sexy!”
Tina shot him a stern glare.
“You are unbelievable, Blaine Anderson! Okay, keep it, but think about the steamy make-outs in the not-so-distant future: Kurt wants to run his fingers through your hair, but he is stopped by a helmet of gel. Nothing can kill a boner more efficiently, and I’m speaking from personal experience.”
Blaine looked at him with confusion plastered on his face.
“But Tina, you can’t have a boner.”
“Oh shut up!” The girl snapped at him. “Get dressed, I will meet you in the common room.”

“Should we leave for the night?” Sebastian asked, smiling his Cheshire-cat smirk as Kurt was changing behind the curtain of his bed.
“I told you, there will be no sex tonight, we are just getting to know each other,” came the frustrated answer. “Please, behave yourself, or even better, go and find some twink to fuck, so I can be with Blaine in peace.”
Sebastian just laughed. He was having so much fun with torturing Kurt.
“Give it up, I won’t miss the chance of meeting your hobbit prince charming.”
Kurt closed his eyes to calm himself down.
“Absolutely amazing,” he said with the last finishing touches on his outfit, before pulling the curtains apart.
“You’re lying,” Sebastian noted as he eyed Kurt from head to toe. “Don’t tell me you don’t plan anything sexual in these pants. It’s kind of hard to believe you don’t want to him to jump you when you’re dressed like this.”
Kurt rolled his eyes, but couldn’t stop a smile to form on his face.
“I just want to impress him, and that’s all.”
Sebastian cracked up.
“Yeah, I was saying the same thing: you want to press in.”
Kurt hit him with his pillow.
“Ass!”
“Yes, I know the dynamics quite well, thank you.”
Sebastian continued to laugh hysterically, and Kurt gave him one last bitch-glare before closing the bathroom door behind himself.

After dinner – which contained a lot of staring above plates, much for their friend’s amusement – Kurt and Blaine met in the Entrance Hall.
For a couple of seconds, there was some silent staring, then Kurt was the first to speak.
“Well hi… you look very nice.”
That’s the biggest understatement ever, the Slytherin boy thought as he took in the sight of him. Oh, it was a shame to hide that body under those robes.
“Thanks, I ehm… like your pants,” Blaine answered as his eyes were glued on the aforementioned jeans, which were so tight they could have just as well been painted on.
“So shall we go?” Kurt nodded in the direction of the basement and that was enough to pull Blaine back to Earth.
“Sure. Sorry, I got distracted.”
By the fantasies about shoving you into the nearest wall and ravishing the hell out of you, the Hufflepuff thought as they walked down the corridor.
“I bet you get this a lot, but your eyes are gorgeous” Kurt said with a smile. He really wanted to make Blaine comfortable, before Sebastian could ruin anything. “And I know that this is just our second date, but I want to make this official if you’re okay with that. I want to be your boyfriend and I hope you would like to be mine.”
Silence followed the statement, Blaine looking at Kurt like he couldn’t believe his ears. Could this be the real life? How did he get so lucky?
The lack of words made Kurt uneasy and he was starting to regret what he had said. Maybe that was too straightforward, now Blaine would run away…
“I would love to,” the Hufflepuff said finally, with the widest smile on his face ever seen. “It would be an honor to date you.” He added then, grabbing Kurt’s hand sheepishly and placing a gentle kiss on it.
The sigh of relief was audible in the quiet corridor, and they reached the entrance of the common room where Kurt said the password, so they could get inside.
Blaine was still in a happy shock from the sudden turn of events, so it took him a couple of minutes to register where they were. But when he did, his jaw fell and he ran to the huge windows.
“This is beautiful! There’s a mermaid… wow, what frightening creature. And oh Merlin, I see the Giant Squid! Kurt, look, it’s there!”
The Slytherins were enjoying the show, watching the boy in yellow and black robes turn into a little child, with his face glued to the glass.
“How old is he? Five?” Came a familiar voice from the direction of the couches, and Kurt wasn’t surprised when he turned around and found Sebastian grinning at him.
“Don’t be a dick, he is cute. Honey, if you are done observing the sea world, maybe you could come here to meet my friends.”
Blaine couldn’t believe his eyes, the sight was so amazing in front of him.
“You are… you all live here and this is your everyday average view. Wow,” was all he said when he turned around.
Sebastian checked him out from head to toe and a dirty smirk appeared on his lips.
“I see why you fancy him, Hummel. This nerdy thing is definitely sexy,” he said as an introduction. “My name is Smythe by the way. Sebastian Smythe.”
Blaine wasn’t pleased, but shook his hand. He knew the tall boy from the not-so-positive rumors, and he was just proving them all to be true in the flesh.
“Blaine Anderson,” he answered, though, always keeping his politeness.
Kurt rolled his eyes and showed Sebastian away from Blaine, wrapping an arm around his new boyfriend protectively.
“Lay off, Smythe! Behave, or deal with the consequences, and this was my first and last warning. If I were you, I would go and mind my own business somewhere else.”
Sebastian cracked up, with no intention to leave at all.
“And if I were you, I would tap that ass immediately. Such a beautiful bubble butt you have there, hobbit. It must be a pleasure to fuck the hell out of it.”
Blaine’s jaw tightened and he was about to say something in response, but Kurt was already pulling out his wand, pointing at Sebastian with it.
“Tell me one good reason why I shouldn’t hex you right now!” He yelled at him, all his anxiousness and stress coming out with full force.
To Smythe's luck, Puck walked into the common room and when he saw what was happening, he stepped between the two of them.
“Enough! Seb, leave them alone, you know how important this is for Kurt. And Kurt, you know that he is doing this to get under your skin. Just don’t listen to him.”
Puck’s frightening glare was enough to stop the playboy, and he strolled off, looking for some other kind of fun.
Kurt put away his wand and pulled his boyfriend closer to himself, still shaking from anger.
“Hi, I’m Noah. It’s good to finally meet you,” he turned to Blaine with a charming smile.
“Thank you. For everything… you’re a nice guy. I’m glad at least some of Kurt’s friends are normal.” Blaine said, returning the smile.
Kurt sighed and held his boy’s hand.
“Thank you, Puck. We will sit down somewhere, okay?”
They found two empty armchairs by the fire, and Blaine took the opportunity to look around.
He found the Slytherin common room nice and elegant, with the fascinating windows that brought green light into the place. There was a huge crest above the black marble fireplace, on it a silver serpent on emerald green background.
Even the flames were burning in the house’s color, reflected by the shining silver picture frames on the wall.
The room was more like the salon of an ancient mansion, the air of old money and unbelievable luxury clearly sensible in every little part of the commons.
“It’s nice here; very fancy,” he said at last, looking at his boyfriend. It was still hard to get used to the fact that they were together.
Kurt relaxed when they sat down and he felt Blaine’s bright hazel eyes on himself. Everything would be alright; they had each other and it would work out perfectly.
“Yes, you know, Slytherin is a really proud house. But I like it, green is my favorite color and silver is much better than gold. Not that I have anything against Gryffindor, my brother is going there, after all, and I don’t hate anyone.”
Blaine listened to him and couldn’t stop staring at Kurt’s lips. They were just so pink and soft-looking, all he could think about was leaning in and taste them, but at the same time he was too afraid to do that.
All of it happened so fast. In the morning of the day before, he was just a silly little Hufflepuff with a crush on a popular boy. And now he was sitting next to that guy, on a date. They were boyfriends. Blaine didn’t want to rush things even further, so he left it to Kurt to set their pace.
“Would you like to go somewhere more private?” Kurt asked and when he realized how it came out, he went totally red. “I didn’t mean it like that… I just want to be with you without all the people around. I don’t want to force you into anything, of course, so if you would rather stay here, I’m totally good with that too,” he rambled nervously.
Blaine nodded enthusiastically. He was dying to be alone somewhere with Kurt – maybe that way he could finally kiss him. Because he was sure he was not doing that here among all the people.
“That’s a good idea, let’s go.” Blaine said and he jumped up from the chair.
Kurt smiled adoringly at the boy who was always full of energy and life. The Hufflepuff was so puppy-like, it was really sweet.
“Should we go to the park?” Blaine offered, sighing inwardly from the thought of a moonlit walk around the Lake. But then he slapped himself mentally, because that was too cheesy, even for his own standards.
“It’s pretty cold outside. What are your thoughts about finding an empty classroom, or something?”
Kurt hoped that this wasn’t too forward or anything.
Unused or deserted places were known as the usual spots for random hook-ups among the older students, and he really didn’t want to make that impression.
But luckily, Blaine just smiled and nodded again, so they left the common room, escorted by the cat-call of “Get some, Hummel!” from the direction of Sebastian.

They walked down the corridors, and after a couple of minutes, Kurt reached out for Blaine’s hand and he entwined their fingers. He could see the light blush on the shorter boy’s cheeks, but they remained silent until they reached one of the old Potion classrooms.
It had been out of order since the big war; the school only used it for storage, so it was a perfect place for them.
“Is this good?” Kurt asked as he opened the door. The place wasn’t really nice, a bit dusty and gloomy, but at least it was quiet and that was the most the most important.
Blaine didn’t even look around before saying, “Perfect.”
He was too busy ogling Kurt’s lips with hungry eyes. He knew that they would be on his in no time, and that was all he could think about. Blaine had never kissed anyone ever, and was dying to experience it finally with this gorgeous boy.
They could have been anywhere right then and he wouldn’t have cared, as long as they were together and alone.
Kurt cleared his throat anxiously. He didn’t really know what to do at that moment, other than pushing Blaine back into a rusty desk and taste those soft-looking lips of his.
Gosh, he was beautiful. Under the layer of the whole nerdyness, Blaine was so hot and Kurt had never wanted anything more than him in his whole life.
“I’m going to kiss you now,” the Slytherin said so softly that it was easy to miss even for Blaine who was standing in front of him.
“Please,” was all the shorter boy could say as he gulped and parted his lips slightly.
Kurt was so close to him, their faces were only inches apart and Blaine could feel his boyfriend’s shaky breath on his own heated skin.
He closed his eyes and waited with his heart in his throat, when they heard the creak of the door and some female giggles.
“Whoops, I think this room is occupied. Hello boys!”
Kurt groaned angrily and dropped his head onto Blaine’s shoulder.
“Santana, get out!” He wanted to shout at his friend but it got muffled in his lover’s neck.
“Sorry, we are not interrupting anything, are we?” The girl sounded really cheerful and Kurt would have been really happy for her if he hadn't been in the middle of kissing the boy who he was totally in love with since fourth grade. “Come on, Brit, let’s leave them alone. I know an even better place where we can practice.”
When they were finally alone again, Blaine ran his fingers through the light brown hair and gently pulled Kurt’s head up.
“Hey,” he whispered, caressing the other boy’s jaw line with his thumb. “Where were we?”
The blue eyes found the hazel ones, and after some breathtaking seconds, their lips locked for the first time, and the world seemed to stop spinning.
