Chapter 8

“Noah, please, this is not what you’re thinking!”

“Not what I’m thinking? I know what I just saw, okay, Kurt? This creep attacked you!!” Noah yelled, his voice filled with anger.

“Look, can we talk later, in private? Please” Kurt pleaded.

“No! We’re going to talk about this right now and if you want it to be only us he has to leave!” Noah pointed to Blaine.

“I-I’m sorry, Kurt, I’m gonna go okay? I’m sorry.” Blaine’s voice broke when he said the last sentence. A lump was clearly forming on his throat.

“Blaine!” Kurt called for him but he was already gone.

Blaine couldn’t believe what had just happened. He and Kurt had kissed, for real. It was not a dream this time. And of course, stupid Noah had to ruin everything. He was so done with him. The worst thing was that he knew he would never be able to kiss his best friend again because Kurt was in love with Noah, not with him. He would have to live with that, even if his lips still tasted of Kurt and he could feel his soft hands and smell the scent of his skin everywhere on him.

“Shit, why can’t I just stop loving him? Why?”

With a frustrated sigh, he tried to punch the wall but was met with air, noticing he was already out of the school.

“Noah, look, I can explain..” Kurt whined.

“Explain? No, you can’t, Kurt. I know exactly what just happened and to be honest, I knew it would! I’ve always suspected that bastard was in love with you but I only knew it for sure the morning after that sleepover you two had. I can’t deal with him anymore, Kurt! And that’s why you have to choose…it’s either me or him.”

“No, baby, don’t make me choose, please, I-” Kurt cried.

“Make your choice, Kurt!” Noah demanded.

“Okay, if you really want it to be like this, then I choose…Blaine. He’s my best friend, Noah, and I could never pick a boyfriend over him”

“Are you fucking serious?!?” Noah yelled and suddenly slapped Kurt hard.

Kurt immediately gasped in shock and brought his hand to his left cheek.

“You-I can’t believe you did that” He sobbed.

“Yes, and I would do it again just to prove you how badly wrong you are by choosing that weirdo over me. Actually, forget what I said, I’m choosing for you. You’re never gonna talk to him anymore! Do you listen to me?”

“Why are you doing this? How did you become such a monster?” Kurt asked, horrified.

“Don’t call me that!” He hissed as he gripped Kurt’s wrist painfully.

“You’re hurting me!”

“ DON’T TOUCH HIM!” Kurt heard Blaine yelling out of sudden and then the shorter pushed Noah with all the strength he had. The blonde lost his balance and fell on the floor. Kurt could practically see the smooth coming out of his ears, just because of how angry he seemed to be.

“This is not gonna stay like this. You’re both going to regret it!”

With that he left, his steps thumping loudly through the silent choir room.

“A-Are you okay, Kurt? Did he hurt you? I’m so sorry I left you alone with him, I just forgot what he was capable of doing and-” Blaine rambled but was interrupted by his best friend.

“What? How did you know he would hurt me?” Kurt asked, feeling nervous.

“I didn’t..” He hesitated

“Did he hurt you, Blaine?” He interrupted the shorter boy again.

“Kurt…no, not really. He was threatening me”

“What? Why?” Kurt asked, his eyes wide.

“H-He said that if I didn’t stay away from you, he would hurt you”

“No, he wouldn’t…I can’t believe it!” Kurt was so frustrated that he hadn’t seen who his ex-boyfriend really was before.

“I’m sorry, Kurt, I’m so sorry”

“Don’t apologize, Blaine. All you did was protect me. Thank you…It’s just so hard to believe that he was such a jerk!” He couldn’t take it anymore and broke into hysterical sobs.

Blaine immediately held the other boy in his arms, Kurt’s face on his neck, and began to say soothing words to calm him down.

“It’s okay, I’m here.” Then, he pulled Kurt’s head gently, and lifted his chin up so that he could look right into those mesmerizing blue eyes.

“He’s not going to hurt you anymore ‘cause I won’t let him. And you’ll get over him, I promise”

“Blaine, I think we need to talk…about what happened earlier”

“Look, we don’t have to talk about that just because now you’re aware of my feelings. We can get back to being just friends and forget about it-”

Blaine wasn’t able to finish what he was saying because suddenly he felt the pressure of Kurt’s soft lips against his. He felt himself gasp in surprise but soon started to kiss back. The kiss was slow, giving them time to enjoy the taste of each other’s lips very well. Blaine could feel Kurt’s breathe through his nose and this all felt so unreal, like a dream. The most amazing dream.

Despise their unwillingness to do so, they had to break the kiss eventually, otherwise they would die from lack of oxygen.

Both boys spoke at the same time.

“Kurt-”

“I love you, Blaine” It felt so good to finally say it.

“You do?” Blaine’s eyes were so full of hope but also a little bit of fear it made Kurt’s heart constrict in his chest.

“Yes. I always have. I have to admit, I started dating Noah because I thought you didn’t feel the same. But I never loved him. It’s always been you, Blaine.”

They both had tears in their eyes when Kurt stopped talking.

“I love you too. God, Kurt, I love you so much. It feels so good to finally say it so that you can hear” He said, surrounding his arms on Kurt’s waist

“What do you mean?”

“I-I used to whisper it when you were sleeping.” Blaine said shyly, blushing.

Kurt was speechless for a second but broke the silence, grinning.

“Don’t be ashamed about it, I think it’s adorable.” Kurt said, playing with Blaine’s collarbone.

“You’re the adorable one here.”

They smiled at each other, both so glad that they could share their love without the fear of being rejected.
