Wes would have fallen down badly on his back if it wasn’t for David. David caught Wes as the latter held on to him for dear life. The shock had not gone away as Wes was freaking out over what could have been. A spinal cord fracture would have been the best way ever to start a birthday party, he thought sarcastically.

            David asked Wes, “You just gave off a sarcastic remark in your head, right?” At the shocked look Wes gave him, he said, “When you are sarcastic in your inner mind, you automatically get this smirk on your face.”

            The fact that David had noticed such an insignificant thing about Wes made him almost swoon, but not, you know? Because boys don’t swoon. They did look into each other’s eyes till they instinctively noticed someone looking at them. They parted sadly, to notice the ditzy blonde from Kurt’s school looking at them.

            She said, “Hey, I’m Brittany and I think you two make very cute dolphins.” David just looked over to Blaine for a translation when she continued, “Dolphins are gay sharks. And usually sharks are always mean to Santana, but dolphins aren’t.”

            Mercedes just sighed. Cock-blocker Brittany.

            Kurt was getting ready to leave the garage when his dad told him to stay back. Burt gave him a look and said, “I can’t believe you aren’t my baby boy anymore.” Kurt blushed and gave his dad a look to which his dad continued, “No, listen to me. This time next year, you’ll be getting ready to leave for university. You think Friday dinners and days like this working in the garage will happen? I don’t think so. So rather we spend as much time as we can now together, so that we don’t miss each other THAT MUCH later.”

            Kurt smiled at his Dad and then hugged him. Then he said, “I really want to spend more time with you, but Blaine wanted to meet me. So I have to go change from these greasy over-alls and go meet him.”

            Burt said, “Yeah, totally fine with me. Just remember, be safe. If anyone gives you trouble, I’m there for you, okay? Love you kiddo.”

            Kurt just acknowledged his dad with a nod. He wasn’t sure why, but as he left he thought he heard his Dad say, “Gonna get a surprise...shouldn’t freak out…” and then Kurt drove away.

            At the same time, everyone at the party thought that Brittany had ruined the moment between Wes and David. However, the two had learned to talk between interruptions as there were a lot of them at Dalton. They looked into each other’s eyes and then David mouthed something to Blaine who understood and took them to a staircase.

            He told them, “This leads to Kurt’s bedroom and you are definitely not allowed over there, so please finish your business off over here and then come back to help us.”

            They smiled and nodded in acknowledgement. As he left them, David told Wes, “I have a confession to make and some happy news to give.” At Wes’ questioning look, he continued, “I told the boys that we should do something to make your parents understand. So we explained the dilemma to our parents. But wait and listen. The best part is your parents are sorry for their ignorance and they are willing to try and make it right.”

            Wes was caught between a rock and a hard place. He was mad at David for revealing his secrets but thankful for what they had done. He then proceeded to pounce on him.

            Wes pinned David to the wall and kissed him hard. David knew he would have bruises on his back but it didn’t matter because he had finally kissed Wes. It was like drugs, only even better. David then removed his lips from Wes’ and told him, “You want to know an awesome thing? We don’t have to worry about the potential I-love-you-s because we already know we love each other. So, we are one step above normal dating.” Wes just gave him a smoldering look and said, “Less talking, more kissing.” They would have shifted to the bed if it weren’t for Blaine’s explicit instruction not to go there. And the mood was lost when they remembered Kurt, the boy from whom they had kept this secret for so long even though all of them had become close friends with him.

            David wasn’t that worried; he could always use the “I was frightened to confess my feelings” routine. However, he wasn’t so sure the same would apply to Blaine. Hopefully Kurt would be so happy for them that he would forget Blaine didn’t tell him the truth earlier. He kept his fingers crossed as he and Wes went back up.

            The party had fully started even though the guest of honor hadn’t turned up yet. Drinks were being given on the sly, though most people were sticking to non-alcoholic ones due to the fact that they had to drive home. And nobody wanted a repeat of the previous stint that took place between Rachel and Blaine.

            As Wes and David saw the two divas in the club excluding Kurt battle it out for the Karaoke machine, all the Warblers noticed the hickey on David’s neck. They immediately screamed in unison, surprisingly, “Wevid is a go! I repeat, Wevid is a go!”

            And out of nowhere, a bottle of sparkling cider appeared in Blaine’s hands and he went on to the fake-stage that had been arranged by the New Directions. He said, “To the only couple who is as mushy as me and Kurt are!” And he popped open the bottle and everyone cheered.

            Kurt was excited. He had no clue what Blaine was going to do, but he was sure it would be awesome. As his car neared his place, he could hear music going on very loudly. And as he passed his house, the realization slowly came upon him…
