"Don't rush me, Blaine, I need to make sure I look perfect."

"Kurt, we're going to a pool party, you're gonna get all wet anyway, you don't need to style your hair. Besides, your hair looks adorable just the way it is."

"Aw, you're very sweet, but I don't plan on "getting all wet" so I'd like to make sure I look good, I want to make an entrance."

"It's Jeff's birthday, and he's certainly not going to care if your hair is styled or not and... wait, you're not going swimming? But Kurt, it's a pool party. Plus you made a huge deal out of your swim wear, why'd you stress so much about it if you're not even going to use it?"

Kurt looked down at his swim trunks, which he found to be completely stylish and matched the shirt he was wearing perfectly. "I am using it, I'm wearing it right now."

"You know what I meant."

"Just because it's a pool party that doesn't mean I have to get wet, no law stating you have to swim just because everyone else is."

"You're the only person in the world who wears a swim trunks and a shirt and looks stylish enough to be going to a formal event."

Kurt smiled proudly. "Thank you! I must say, you look quite adorable yourself."

Blaine looked at his blue and red swim trunks in the mirror before his eyes moved up to his red shirt, smiling. "Thanks! So, are you ready to go now?"

"Okay, yeah, I'm ready, let's go."

It didn't take much time to get to Jeff's place, but they must've been running late because by the time they arrived all the other Warblers were already there.

Blaine knocked on the door, smiling when Jeff opened it. "Blaine, hi!" He said before hugging him.

"Hey Jeff, we're not late, are we?"

"No, you're right on time, come in!"

Blaine walked inside, followed by Kurt.

"Hey, Kurt!" Kurt smiled and hugged Jeff back.

"Hey, happy birthday, Blaine and I got you this."

"Oh, thanks! There's food over there, everyone's already outside by the pool. I'll meet you guys out there in a second."

Jeff went over to put Kurt and Blaine's presents on the table with the others, Kurt following Blaine outside. Some of the Warblers were standing by the snack table, talking and laughing, while others had thrown their shirts on the chairs that were scattered about and were now swimming.

"Okay Blaine, dive in, I'm just going to sit this one out... in the shade."

"Uh... no, that's okay, I don't really feel like swimming, I'll go with you."

Kurt was a bit surprised, he was sure the first thing Blaine was going to want to do was dive into the pool, but he shrugged it off and smiled at his boyfriend. "Okay."

Kurt sat himself down on one of the chairs, Blaine sitting next to him and looking back at the pool.

"You hungry? I could grab us something from the snack table."

"I'm fine for now, but if you're hungry, go for it." Kurt replied as Jeff came outside, raced at the pool, and jumped in, splashing almost everyone.

"I'm surprised."

"By what?"

"By you. I thought you'd be in that pool the second we got here."

"Uh, I don't want to swim."

"Why not?"

"I just... I don't like to swim that much."

"Then why were you so excited about this? You've been talking about it all week."

"I was just excited to see Jeff, and all the other Warblers, I wasn't excited about the pool part."

Kurt didn't think he'd ever seen Blaine so fidgety. Why was he acting so strange all of the sudden? You'd think the pool was filled with poison, unless...

"Blaine, are you okay?"

"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?"

"You just seem a bit, out of place, is there something you want to tell me?"

Blaine quickly shook his head. "No, nothing."

"Blaine... what's bothering you?"

Blaine bit his lip.

"Blaine, are you afraid to swim?"

"What?"

"Are you afraid of water?" Kurt asked softly.

"No, I'm not afraid of it, it's just..." His voice trailed off.

"What? You can tell me."

"Well, I love to swim, but you didn't seem to want to, and I thought that if I went swimming without you, you'd be here all alone, and I didn't want to leave you all by yourself, I wanted to stay here with you to make sure you were having fun at the party too."

"You mean, you pretended to not want to swim, just so you could stay with me and make sure I was having a good time?"

"Well... yeah."

Kurt's smile grew. "Aw, Blaine, that's so sweet!" He said, tackling his boyfriend in a hug.

"It is?" Blaine said before hugging back.

"Of course it is, but you don't have to sit here with me the whole party, you can go swimming if you want to."

"Are you sure? I don't want to leave you here alone, or to go have fun without you..."

"Blaine, it's fine, all the Warblers are here, I'll just hang out at the snack table and talk to some of the other guys who aren't swimming if I get bored. You don't have to stay with me the whole party."

"You're sure you don't mind?"

"Go have fun, silly."

Blaine's face lit up and he kissed Kurt on the cheek before taking his shirt off, leaving it on the chair before racing over to the pool and diving in. Kurt laughed to himself, his boyfriend wasn't afraid of the water, he was looking out for Kurt. He wanted to make sure he was happy.

Kurt had to say, that had to be one of the sweetest things Blaine had ever done, giving up something he thought was fun just to make sure Kurt had fun himself. This was the first time since he'd started this find Blaine's fear hunt that he didn't end up disappointed by not figuring out what Blaine was afraid of. If anything, this whole thing just made him realize that he loved Blaine even more. He hadn't thought that was possible. Apparently it was.

"Kurt! This party is awesome!"

Kurt laughed at the sight of his soaking wet boyfriend racing over to him. "Looks like you're having fun."

"Yeah! This is the best party ever! Woo!"

"I'm glad you're enjoying yourself."

"Well, actually, now that I'm all wet and out of the pool, I'm kind of cold."

"I know where you're going with this and no, you can not cuddle with me when you're all wet like that."

"But Kurt! I'm freezing!" Blaine pouted.

"Get a towel."

"But it's not the same, I need to cuddle up to you for warmth."

Kurt sighed, smiling. "Okay, go dry yourself off a bit."

"And then I can come back here and cuddle with you?" Blaine asked hopefully.

"We'll see."

"Is that a yes?"

"That's a maybe, now go."

Blaine smiled and ran over to the towels, drying himself off as best he could before wrapping the towel around his shoulders, the towel draping over him so his upper body was now covered.

"I'm dry!"

"You are not."

"I'm more dry than I was a minute ago."

Kurt sighed. "Fine, come here."

Blaine sat himself down on the edge of the long lawn chair Kurt was sitting on, scooting closer to Kurt and laying back so his head was resting on Kurt's chest.

"Ew, you are not dry, you are soaked!"

"I was in a pool, what do you expect?"

"I thought you said you dried off."

"I did."

"Well, your hair is still dripping wet and it's getting all over my shirt."

"It's just water, now stop squirming, I need my Kurt cuddles!"

Kurt laughed. "No, you're all wet!"

Blaine smiled and rolled onto his stomach, burying his face in Kurt's chest.

"Blaine! Stop, you're getting my shirt even more wet!" He shouted between laughter as Blaine wrapped his arms around Kurt's waist.

"Well, if you're shirts wet now, then I can cling to you all I want... cause you're all wet anyway!"

"You're hopeless."

"Hopelessly devoted to you."

"This isn't Grease, get off." Kurt said laughing, Blaine smiled up at him.

"You love it."

"Only because you're being completely adorable, that's an unfair advantage. You're cheating."

"How is this cheating? I'm cuddling with my boyfriend, that's-"

"Gosh you two, get a room." Nick teased as he walked past to grab a towel. "Don't kill everybody with a cuteness over load."

"Hear that? Nick thinks we're being cute, so stop complaining about me being all wet."

Kurt sighed and wrapped his arms around Blaine. "Okay, fine. I suppose this is worth my outfit getting a bit damp."

Blaine smiled and rested his head back on Kurt's chest. "So, since I got you all wet anyway, any chance of you getting in that pool?"

"Don't count on it, Anderson, don't count on it."
