Blaine spent the rest of the day with Cooper, hanging out at the apartment and catching each other up on what's happened since they saw each other last. They cooked dinner together before Cooper headed back to the hotel he was staying at. Cooper didn't bring up Kurt at all, which Blaine was thankful for. Cooper left around midnight and was coming to back in the morning so they could go to Time Square. Kurt came out of his room a couple times, but never spoke to them. Not that Blaine had really expected him to.
Blaine was lying in bed and staring at the ceiling. He was thinking about what Cooper said about 'starting over.' Could he really do that? Well of course he could. There was no one there to stop him. Did he want to do that? More than anything. He just wanted to be happy. Was he ready to do that? He wasn't so sure. He didn't think he could just come out like he hasn't spent 18 years hiding it. He wanted to try, though. He really, really wanted to try.
That's what he's going to do. He's going to try. It might take a while to for him to get where he wants to be, out, proud, and happy, but he was going to do it. The main part of his plan, he's going to get Kurt. Well, if Kurt would have him. And after today, he doubt that he did.
So step one of the plan, make things better with Kurt. First thing tomorrow morning, he is going to apologize. He's going to make things right again. Blaine fell asleep with a smile on his face.
The next morning, he woke up feeling better than he had felt in a long time. Starting today, he was going to make his life right. Starting with Kurt.
He picked up his phone to check the time. 9:07AM. Perfect. He got out of bed and grabbed some things before heading to the bathroom. As he was about to reach the bathroom door, Kurt's door opened. Kurt walked out looking down and typing on his phone. He walked to the fridge and grabbed a bottle of water without noticing Blaine standing there.
"Hey." Blaine said.
Kurt jumped a little then looked up at him. "Hi."
"Can we, uh, talk? After I..." Blaine asked and pointed to the bathroom.
Kurt seemed a little shocked. "Oh. Yeah, sure. Just come on in to my room when you're ready." He said with a small smile then turned around and walked to his door.
Once Blaine was done doing his business, he went to Kurt's door and knocked. He heard Kurt give his okay to enter and walked in. Kurt was sitting on his bed still looking at his phone. Blaine walked around Kurt's room for a minute, not sure how to start. He stopped when he saw a picture on his wall. The picture was of a very shirtless Cooper Anderson during a photo shoot on a beach. It looked like it had been ripped out of a magazine. "Those abs are not real." He commented.
Kurt looked up to see what Blaine was talking about and his eyes went wide and the blush started rising on his cheeks. "Oh my god!" He rushed over to where the picture was hanging and ripped it down. "I swear I put that up before I knew he was your brother and I didn't mean for you to see it. I should have taken it down, I'm sor-"
Blaine began to laugh. Kurt was so damn adorable when he got nervous. The thought made him smile wider. "It's okay Kurt. You don't have to apologize. Don't take it down because of me. I'm sure Coop would be flattered."
Kurt coughed a little then went to sit back on his bed. "So what did you want to talk about?" He asked, obviously wanting to change the subject.
Blaine went to sit next to Kurt on his bed. "Yeah. I need to apologize. I've been acting like such a jerk. I took my own personal issues out on you and you did not deserve that. So I am so very sorry."
"I forgive you." Kurt said. Blaine felt his body relax a bit. "Can I ask why though? I don't want to push you or anything, but I'd like to help, if I can."
Blaine's heart warmed at Kurt's words. He set his hand on Kurt's knee. "I want to tell you. I really, really do. But I can't, not yet. Soon, though. I promise."
Kurt put his hand over Blaine's. "Whenever you're ready."
They stared at each other for a moment. Kurt's phone vibrated next to them, breaking them from their haze. Kurt grabbed his phone and smiled as he read the text message. "Who was that?" Blaine asked nonchalantly.
"Colin. He wants to go to lunch." Blaine felt a spark of jealous rage flicker in his gut. He's not your's yet, Blaine.
"Oh. That's nice." Blaine cleared his throat and stood up. "Well I'm going to go call Cooper. Have fun with Colin today." He walked to the doorway then turned around to face Kurt once more. "And Kurt? I really am sorry."
"I know." Kurt said with a genuine smile.
The next few days, Kurt and Blaine didn't spend much time together, not because they didn't want to, but because they were both doing their own thing. Blaine spent most of his time with Cooper, and Kurt was spending more and more time with Colin.
For their first official date, a couple days after they met, Colin took Kurt to a romantic dinner. They walked hand in hand back to Kurt's apartment, and as they were saying goodbye, Colin kissed Kurt goodnight. It was really sweet and romantic. But there was one problem. Kurt spent the entire night thinking about Blaine.
Blaine had yet to tell Kurt what 'personal issues' he was dealing with, but he could tell that Blaine was still having trouble. When they did see each other, it was their usual flirty banter. But whenever Blaine would smile or laugh, there was always a hint of sadness in his eyes. Kurt wanted to demand Blaine to tell him what's wrong so he could help, but he didn't. He would wait until Blaine was ready.
Friday afternoon, five days after the 'fight' with Blaine, Kurt was sulking on the couch when Blaine came home from dropping off Cooper at the airport. That morning, Cooper came into Kurt's room, looked at the picture that Kurt had ripped down, yelled 'THEY ARE SO REAL' to Blaine, lifted up his shirt to show Kurt that they are, indeed, real, then winked at Kurt and told him to 'tweet him' before saying goodbye. It was strange, yet incredibly sexy.
"What's wrong?" Blaine asked as he sat down next to Kurt.
Kurt broke out of his thoughts of Cooper's abs. "Oh, uh Colin and I were supposed to go to dinner and a movie tonight but he just canceled. Now I have nothing to do, on a Friday night, in New York." He was a little hesitant to bring up Colin because every time he did, Blaine seemed to shut down for a while.
"I'm sorry. But if it makes you feel any better, I don't have any plans either." Blaine said, not looking at Kurt. "Do you maybe want to order some food and have a Disney movie marathon? That way we both have something to do."
Was it just Kurt or did Blaine look nervous? "Yeah, I'd really like that." Blaine looked up and smiled so big that it made Kurt's heart warm. He was so beautiful and delicate and perfectly imperfect. Man, I've got it bad for this boy. "Shit." He said suddenly.
"Are you okay?" Blaine asked.
"Uh, yeah fine. I just...forgot to...call my dad. Yeah. I'll, um be right back." Kurt practically ran to his room. He can't let his feelings for Blaine come back. He tried so hard to push them away after they almost ruined everything. And he was 'seeing' Colin. Colin, who returned those feelings.
Kurt took a deep breath. He couldn't stop his feelings for Blaine, but he could definitely keep them hidden. Eventually, they will go away. They had to.
Blaine couldn't wait. He was spending the night with just Kurt and him. Alone. Okay so maybe it wasn't exactly how Blaine would like it to be, a date, but they were still getting time together. And Blaine wasn't going to mess it up.
He and Cooper had come up with a plan. He was going to wait a two weeks, just to make sure he was really ready, and then he was going to woo Kurt. He would take him on a picnic in Central Park, walk around for a bit, maybe serenade him with a song, and then tell him his feelings. It was going to be perfect. Unless Kurt rejected him. Then it would really suck.
He could focus on that later. Tonight he was going to focus on having fun with Kurt.
A couple hours later, Blaine and Kurt were sitting at the table with cartons of Chinese food.
"You had a crush on your stepbrother?!" Blaine said trying to hold back his laughter and failing.
"He wasn't my stepbrother yet! But that's why I set our parents up. I thought that maybe if he had to spend time with me, he'd magically fall in love with me. Boy, was I wrong." Blaine wasn't trying to hide his laughter anymore. "Yeah laugh it up, Anderson. Oh, hey. Cooper told me a fun fact about you the other day." Kurt said in an innocent voice.
Blaine stopped laughing abruptly and looked at Kurt. "O-oh yeah, what would that be?"
"He told me that your are quite the Duran Duran fan." Blaine muttered 'oh god no' and put his face in his hands. "And that you do a mean Simon Le Bon impression." Kurt was smirking at him.
"Nope. No way. I am not doing that." Blaine said putting his hands in the air.
"Pleaaassseeee. I just told you one of the most embarrassing stories of my life!" Kurt said with the most adorable pout Blaine had ever seen.
Blaine stood up and walked over towards the couch. He pulled out his phone, clicked on the music app and found 'Rio'. He watched Kurt stand up and walk towards him. He clicked on the song and the it started playing. He took a deep breath and started dancing. He looked up a moment later when he heard Kurt start laughing his beautiful laugh. Blaine stopped dancing and fell back on the couch. Kurt came over and sat next to him.
"I'm going to have to send Cooper a thank you card because that was hilarious." Kurt said, a little breathless from laughing.
"Make sure to include that he's now got a death wish." Blaine added.
"Oh come on! It was adorable." Kurt said. Blaine's heart skipped a beat.
"Well should we put on a movie?" Blaine asked after a few minutes of silence. Kurt nodded his head and went to his room. He came back out a minute later with his laptop and a handful of Disney movies.
"What do you want to watch first?" He asked as he set the laptop down on the coffee table.
"How about Aladdin? It's my favorite." Blaine said.
"Perfect." Kurt replied. He pulled the movie out of its box and stuck it in the laptop drive. Once the movie was playing, he sat back down next to Blaine.
As the movie progressed, both boys would randomly recite lines or hum along with the song. When it got to 'A Whole New World' Blaine started to sing along with Aladdin. He was more than shocked when he heard Kurt start singing with Jasmine.
If he thought Kurt's speaking voice was beautiful, which he did, he's singing voice was ten times more beautiful. Blaine felt tears start to spring in his eyes. Kurt was absolutely perfect in every single way.
They sang along with the whole song. On the last note, they turned to look at each other. They stared at each other for a moment, and before Blaine could stop himself, he leaned in and pressed his lips to Kurt's.
Blaine finally realized what he was doing when Kurt didn't respond. Just as he was about to pull away, he felt Kurt's hand snake up behind his neck and pull him closer and their lips moved together. His whole body felt like it had been struck by lightening. They fit perfectly together.
"Blaine." Kurt said when they pulled away to breathe. Their faces were about an inch apart from each other and Blaine could feel Kurt's breath on his lips.
"Yeah?" Blaine whispered.
"What are we doing?" Kurt asked with his eyes closed. Blaine knew he was referring to more than just the kiss.
"I don't know." Blaine said before he dove in to capture Kurt's lips again.
