Chapter 5

“Dad, we’re home!” Kurt yelled as soon as He opened the door. Blaine was beside him.

“Hi, Kurt!” Burt glared at Blaine and gave him a big smile “Blaine. How are you?”

“I’m fine, Mr. Hummel. Thanks” Blaine grinned.

Most people were scared of Burt Hummel but Blaine wasn’t, he knew that even though he had a serious appearance, he was one of the men who had the biggest heart in the world. Blaine has always admired him for the way he accepted and supported Kurt. Even if Kurt was gay he loved him the same way. That’s what parents are supposed to do, right? Love their children no matter what. How he wished his dad was like Kurt’s.

“I’ve already told you to call me Burt, kid. I’ve known you for three years and you still call me Mr. Hummel! Don’t do that. It makes me feel old” Burt said, half joking, half serious.

“Sorry, Burt.”

“Dad, we’re going to my room, okay? Just call me if you need me, okay?” Kurt said pulling Blaine gently by the arm.

“Okay, son” Burt stopped for a moment. Then he spoke. “ Kurt, I just remembered to ask you something I’ve been wondering in a while” They both stopped. “When am I going to meet your boyfriend?”

Great. Now Blaine would have to listen to Kurt talking about Noah to the man he wished was his father-in-law.

Kurt glanced at Blaine and then looked back at his father. “Dad, I don’t know…I’ll talk to him later, okay?”

“Sure. But I want to meet him. Show him how he has to treat my boy.”

“Dad!”

“Sorry. You can go now”

Both boys went to Kurt’s room and Blaine wandered why Burt was looking at him all the time when they were talking about Noah. Or maybe he was just imagining things.

Blaine was startled when Kurt pulled him out of his thoughts.

“So do you want to watch Moulin Rouge. Oh, what a stupid question” Said Kurt kicking his head slightly “Of course you do.”

Blaine gave Kurt a smile while he put the DVD on the DVD player.

Blaine waited for Kurt to sit because he didn’t want to make him feel uncomfortable so when his best friend sat on the couch he tried to give him as much personal space as possible.

“Blaine? Why are you so far away? Come here. Let’s cuddle.”

Oh God. Could they still cuddle now that Kurt had a boyfriend? It didn’t matter because when Blaine went closer to Kurt the other boy put his arm around his waist and Blaine couldn’t help but rest his head on Kurt’s shoulder.

It was so good in there. Blaine wished that moment could last forever. Kurt smelled so good and was just so warm and perfect pressed against his side.

Oh, the movie had already started? He wasn’t paying any attention to it, anyway. And he knew he wouldn’t. How could he when the boy he loved the most was so close to him? In that moment Blaine could at least pretend for once that Kurt was his and that he could kiss him whenever he wanted, that Noah didn’t exist.

When Come What May started to play Kurt finally broke the silence between them.

“Let’s dance.”

“What?”

“Dance! Come on B!” Kurt stood up and reached his hand for Blaine to take it.

This probably wasn’t a good idea because they would be even closer than in the moment before and Blaine would be looking into those perfect blue eyes. It would be too much.

Even knowing all that, he took Kurt’s hand and they started to move rhythmically to the sound of the music.

Never knew I could feel like this
Like I have never seen the sky before

Blaine didn’t know how much time had passed but suddenly Kurt’s face was so close that he could feel Kurt’s hot breath against his own. It smelled like mint. It would only take a little space for him to feel his best friend’s soft and pink lips.

Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day

“This is so wrong. He has a boyfriend.” A voice in Blaine's head said but…“Just kiss him. I know you want to. You always have. “Said the other voice. He decided to listen to the latter. He saw himself leaning towards Kurt, his heart beating so fast he thought it might explode. Was it just his mind or Kurt was leaning in too? If Blaine really kissed Kurt, we would definitely die a happy man. Their lips were so close. But them…

“I think the song is over, Blaine” Kurt told him clearing his throat and pulling away from Blaine as he did so.

God, Blaine was just so stupid for thinking that Kurt would ever want to kiss him.  Kurt was beautiful, intelligent, talented, funny, perfect and he was just a pathetic boy hopelessly in love with his best friend.

“Y-Yeah. Yes, it is” Blaine sat back on the couch next to Kurt.

“So…school was so weird without Glee Club today, don’t you think?” Kurt asked out of nowhere.

“It was. I really missed it” Blaine said trying not to show his disappointment.

“Me too.I hope Mr. Schue gets better soon.”They stared at each other a little before Kurt spoke again.  “Well…I think it’s time we went to bed.”  He said, staring at his watch.

“Yeah.”

“Okay. You can take my bed and I’ll sleep on the couch”

Blaine wanted to die. They’ve had sleepovers since they became friends and not even once had they slept in different places. They always did curling on each other. It was so comforting and everytime they slept like that Blaine didn’t have the nightmares he was already used to. Why was Kurt doing this? Why couldn’t he just enjoy being in Kurt’s arms again, feeling his heartbeat while he pressed his head to Kurt’s chest? And them Blaine started to panic. What if he would never get that sensation again? Maybe he wouldn’t. Maybe the only one who would get to do that whenever he wanted was Noah. Because Kurt was his, not Blaine’s.

“Blaine? Are you even on this planet?”

“W-What? Yeah, sorry. I was just thinking. Uh, I’m not going to make you leave your bed to sleep on the couch.” Blaine tried not to sound distracted.

“Fine.” Kurt gave Blaine a blanket and a pillow before turning off the lights.

“Goodnight B.”

“Goodnight K”

****

There were a lot of people. It looked like a marriage but Blaine couldn’t really see who was going to get married.

Until he did.

It was Kurt. His Kurt. No, not his, he reminded himself. Waiting for him in the altar was Noah.

This couldn’t be happening. All those dreams he had of he and Kurt getting married and living happily ever after were crushed.

Blaine felt his cheeks getting wet and left out a loud sob. He screamed for Kurt’s name but it seemed like he was invisible.

“No!”

“Blaine? Blaine, wake up” Kurt said shaking his shoulder gently.

“Kurt?” He said, already crying.

Kurt took him in his arms.

“Shh, it was just a dream. A bad dream, okay? I’m here.”

Blaine left out a few sobs before he fell asleep in Kurt’s arms.

Kurt smiled at the boy sleeping in his lap. He looked so peaceful. Kurt had to resist the urge to lean and kiss his forehead, his body screaming for more contact, for the feeling of Blaine against him.

He shook his head.

He and Blaine had almost kissed a few hours before. He had to control himself. He just didn’t know if the next time Blaine was so close to him he would pull away again.

He kept thinking about him and Blaine. He could fell his eyelashes getting heavier and heavier until he closed his eyes and slept the most peaceful sleep he had since the last time he had fallen asleep in his best friend’s arms.
