It was the evening of prom and Kurt was lying on his bed, reading the latest Vogue.

Mercedes hadn't called. Kurt mostly wasn't surprised that she hadn't found a date for him, he even felt a bit relieved because he could never know what kind of guy she would bring to him. But he felt also a tiny bit of disappointment. Of course he wanted to go to prom and of course he wanted to have a date. But it seemed like actually there was nobody who wanted to go to prom with him.

Kurt sighed and got up from the bed to get something to eat and drink and start a movie marathon. He was halfway downstairs when he heard his phone ringing. So he went back into his room and looked at the screen of his mobile phone. He got one new message.

Found a date for you.

Get in your dancing shoes, he'll be there in an hour.

And you know deal is deal, there's no turning back now;)

Love ya. Mercedes.

Kurt stared on the screen for minutes before realizing what the text really meant.

He'd got a date. He'd got a date with a guy!

Kurt let out a tiny squeal of happiness, realizing how much he'd really wanted to go to prom. But how should he get ready in an hour? He still had to do his hair and choose an outfit. Kurt quickly opened his dresser and looked through it. After looking hectically through it for nearly fifteen minutes, he decided to wear black pants, a white shirt, a black skin tight vest and a black bow tie. He got dressed quickly, satisfied with his work. He then went into his bathroom to fix his hair. Checking the clock, he saw that he only had half an hour left and he wasn't sure if that would be enough time. When he was satisfied, he checked his phone and saw that he'd only ten minutes left. He hurried down the stairs and into the kitchen. His father and Carole where out for dinner, so Kurt decided to drop a note for them. He hurried back into the hall and got into his best shoes. He just was done with the second shoe when the door bell rang. Looking into the mirror one last time, he stepped towards the door and opened it, taking a deep breath.

On his front porch was standing a guy, a guy in a black suit, a black bow tie and with a white rose in his buttonhole which matched his white shirt. The boy had dark, gelled hair and-

The boy was Blaine, Kurt realized.

“Blaine!”, Kurt said, staring at him open mouthed.

Blaine just stood there awkwardly and smiled at him. “Uhm, hey Kurt!”

After Kurt just stood there, looking at Blaine without saying anything, Blaine cleared his throat. “Are you-are you ready to go....ühm Mercedes said I should pick you up in a few minutes but I thought I maybe should come a little earlier....so:here I am.” He laughed nervously.

Kurt lightly shook his head, considering what to say. “Well,yeah. I'm ready!”, he said in a rush, stepping out of the house and closing the door behind him.

“You look amazing by the way...”, Blaine said and looked at him, his cheeks a little pink.

Kurt blushed. “Uh,thank you!”, he said. “You look-you look pretty good yourself.”

A smiley spread on Blaine's face and he reached into his pocket. “Oh, I nearly forgot”, he said, taking out a small white rose. The same white rose he was wearing, Kurt realized and his heart began to beat faster.

Blaine looked at him questioningly. “Should I-could I...”, he nodded towards Kurt's vest.

Kurt only nodded and Blaine stepped closer to put the rose into the buttonhole of Kurt's vest. Kurt held his breath. Blaine smelled unbelievable good and he was so close,so close... Kurt exhaled a shaky breath when Blaine stepped back.

“Tha-thanks”, Kurt mumbled, looking down at the white rose on his vest.

Blaine motioned towards his car. “Should we..uhm...go then?”, he asked.

Kurt only managed to nod and climbed into Blaine's car. They rode in silence. Neither of them knowing what to say. In fact Kurt had a lot to say or ask but he didn't know if the moment was right for it so he just waited. When they arrived at McKinley High-school, Blaine jumped out of the car to open the door of the car for Kurt. Kurt blushed and smiled at Blaine who looked at him shyly. They then went into the school, where a lot of people were already dancing. They decided to sit down at one table and Blaine got them something to drink. Kurt saw Mercedes in the crowd, dancing with Sam. Kurt decided to talk to her later.

Why had she told Blaine to go to prom with him? And why was Blaine going with Kurt? Where was Sebastian?

Kurt's head was full of questions but he didn't know how to ask them so he stayed silent when Blaine came back with their drinks. He sat down next to Kurt and they drank in silence. Not that they actually had the possibility to talk: The music was so loud, you couldn't really hear your own word. When Kurt had finished his drink, he decided that he really should ask Blaine a few things. So he motioned with his head towards the door and Blaine nodded. They got outside in the school yard then and Kurt took a seat on one of the benches. Blaine sat down next to him hesitantly. Kurt just sat there for a moment without saying anything, shivering a little bit from the cold air. Before he could even think about how stupid he'd been not take a jacket with him, Blaine took of his jacket and put it over Kurt's shoulders. Kurt only stared at him and blushed.

“Tha-thank you”, he mumbled and looked to the ground.

Blaine shrugged. “No problem”, he said but Kurt could hear his nervousness in his words.

After another moment in silence Kurt couldn't hold it any longer. “Why are you going on prom with me and not with Sebastian?”, Kurt asked before he could stop himself.

Blaine only looked at him and took a deep breath. “I'm not dating Sebastian any longer.”

Kurt looked at him confused. “Why not?”, he asked.

Blaine looked at the ground. “He wanted more than I wanted. He always pushed me to kiss him or do that or-”, Blaine trailed off.

“But-but you said he was okay with you not wanting to kiss him!”, Kurt said in shock.

“Yeah, I know I said that”, Blaine said still looking at the ground. “I lied he wasn't okay at all with it.”

“What did he do?”, Kurt asked, taking Blaine's hand.

Blaine looked at their hands and then up into Kurt's face. “He tried to force me but I didn't want to. So he just left me alone and told me that he'd expected something better when he'd met me.”

Kurt's eyes were wide in shock. “But why did you keep dating him....and give him what he wanted?!”, Kurt asked, looking into Blaine's eyes. “Did you really like him that much that you-”

“No”, Blaine cut into his words. “I didn't like him at all! I've never liked him! I just dated him because-because of you.”

Kurt looked at Blaine like he'd lost his mind but before he could say anything Blaine continued, squeezing Kurt's hand.

“You always were so happy for me...”, Blaine said his voice shaking. “It-it broke my heart...and I just wanted to make you happy....so I-”

“Wait”, Kurt said locking eyes with Blaine. “Why did it break you heart?”

Blaine looked at him, tears in his eyes. He suddenly got up from the bench. “What do you think?”, he yelled. “What do you think why it broke my heart? Because I'm in love with you! But I've never had the courage to admit it! And then you were so happy for me for dating another guy! And it broke my heart because I realized that you'd never felt anything for me! It was only in my imagination!”

Blaine began to sob and Kurt just sat there eyes wide in shock. It took him a few minutes to wrap his mind around what Blaine had just said: He was in love with him. With him. They both were in love with each other and had tried to make the other one happy with something that made neither of them happy. It was absurd and Kurt couldn't help but laugh at that. He felt insane and Blaine just looked at him with disbelieve, tears running down his checks before he turned around and began to run away. Kurt got up quickly from the bench and ran after Blaine.

“Blaine,Blaine”, he called. “Wait! Please!”

Blaine suddenly stopped and turned around. “Why?”, he yelled, sounding angry and hurt at the same time. “Do you want to laugh at me and my feelings some more?”

Kurt took both of Blaine's hand in his and Blaine looked at him. It broke Kurt's heart to see him like this. “I'm sorry, Blaine. I know that you think I laughed about you but I didn't! Do you let me explain?”

Blaine nodded after standing in silence for a few seconds.

“I laughed at the whole situation. It's just so absurd.”, Kurt said softly.

Blaine looked at him, looking angry again. “Why? Because I fell in love with my best friend and he doesn't feel the same for me? You're right that's really funny!I-”

“Sssh”, Kurt said and squeezed Blaine's hand who tried to pull away. “I laughed because I fell in love with my best friend too and I also thought he wouldn't feel the same way”, Kurt said, a soft smile on his lips.

Blaine only looked at him confused. “You mean-you-I...”

Kurt took a deep breath. “I love you, Blaine! I've always loved you but I've never had the courage to admit it”, he smiled at him sadly, tears welling in his eyes.

Blaine stared at him eyes wide with surprise and disbelieve. “But why-why did you want me to date Sebastian?Why did you...”, Blaine trailed off, tears still running down his checks.

Kurt suddenly felt his own tears on his checks and could hardly speak. “Be-because you're my best friend and I-I wanted you to be happy!...And I-I thought Se-Sebastian would make you happy...and you should be happy so-”

Before Kurt could say anything more Blaine took him in his arms and hugged him tightly. Kurt buried his face between Blaine's neck and shoulders and began to sob loudly. After a few minutes Blaine pulled away a bit and looked Kurt in the eyes.

“I love you, Kurt”, he said, voice nothing more than a whisper.

Kurt looked at him, feeling his heart swell in his chest. “ I love you too, Blaine.”

And with that, Blaine leaned in and closed the gap between them. Before Kurt could think about anything to do, he felt Blaine's soft lips on his and he was lost. The kiss was soft but confident and Kurt hummed again Blaine's lips in contentment, not bothered by the salty taste from their tears which had mixed on their faces.
