It was two weeks after Blaine read the poem and things were going great between the two of them. Kurt was slowly trusting Blaine, especially after he saw him at what was possibly his most vulnerable state and Blaine had declared his love for him. He knew eventually that he wanted to be with Blaine but he was still having doubts, he wanted to be cautious this time around. Kurt was amazed by how his senior year was turning out, he had an amazing best friend who was in love with him and he no longer felt alone. He had friends and that meant so much to him. His depression was easing, there were more good days than bad and he felt like a darkness was lifting off his chest.  It made him feel strong, no longer helpless and he could attribute a lot of it to Blaine. He made him feel loved and that was possibly the greatest feeling in the world.

It was Friday lunchtime and there was an incident, causing Kurt to have an epiphany, which set things in motion for his world to change.

Kurt was walking down a school hallway, making his way towards Blaine who was coming from the other direction. They were smiling at each other and it was like no one else existed. Unfortunately, other people did. A boy was coming out of a side hallway at the same time as Kurt was walking past it. Not caring who was in his way, he ran into Kurt who was too focused on Blaine to step out of the way. The boy was much larger than him and with his petite frame, Kurt landed on the floor with a bang. Fuck that hurt, he landed right on his bony ass. The boy kept walking, sneering at Kurt as he stepped over him and continuing on his way.

Kurt brushed himself off, his cheeks pink with embarrassment and went to scurry off to the bathroom so he could feel embarrassed and hurt in private when he heard Blaine’s voice. And he wasn’t happy.

“Oi, asshole. Watch where you’re walking!” He yelled after the boy that bowled Kurt down.

The boy turned round and looked at Blaine angrily, “Fuck you, you can’t tell me what the fuck to do or where the fuck to walk.”

“Actually, I will. Stay the fuck away from Kurt and quit picking on people who were minding their own Goddamn business.”

The boy turned around, away from Blaine. His fists were clenched at his sides in anger but he kept walking, knowing there was no point starting a fight. Blaine ran up to Kurt, who was frozen watching the exchange came running over to check he was okay.

“Kurt! You should have stood up for yourself.”

Kurt shrugged, “No need to start some trouble. Thanks though, for defending me.”

Blaine looked at him seriously and with concern and grabbed Kurt's hand in his. “I will always be there for you.”

At that moment, Kurt suddenly realised something. This was not the Blaine he first met. That Blaine, the young, popular Blaine would have ignored Kurt completely. He would never of stood up for him, never drawing attention to the two of them and wouldn’t of acknowledged Kurt to check to see if he if he was okay. It was then that he realised that the young boy had become a man, someone he could trust, rely on and love safely without getting hurt or rejected. He could trust him to stand up to bullies, he could trust him to hold his hand and kiss him in public, he could trust him to stay the night and not leave before he woke up. Kurt decided he was glad he never ended up with Blaine 3 years ago because they were different people now, stronger, more independent and with a stronger understanding of love and loss. Kurt was ready. He was ready to be with Blaine fully. He was ready to put his trust on him to be equals in a relationship. He had faith that he could give his heart to Blaine with out it getting hurt because Blaine had already given him his heart that night two weeks ago. He was ready to commit to being Blaine’s boyfriend.

“Blaine?” He said, his voice wobbling with the force of his realisation and decision.

“Yeah?”

“Can we go somewhere and talk?”

“Of course.”

Kurt led Blaine right out of school, not caring that they had classes to attend or lunch to eat. There were more important things to think about right now. Kurt led Blaine to the park down the street from their school. Blaine could see the determination on Kurt’s face and decided he wouldn’t say anything until Kurt did; he clearly had something on his mind.

They took a seat on the grass, facing each other. Kurt grabbed Blaine’s hands, one in each of his and looked him in the eye. “Blaine I am ready to be your boyfriend. I may have been infatuated with that cool, scruffy boy three years ago but I am in love with you. The incredible, honest, generous, patient man in front of me. I love you Blaine and I hope I always will.” With tears in his eyes, Kurt lunged forward connecting Blaine’s mouth with his in a heated kiss, their lips searing with passion and love. Blaine leaned back after a while and looked Kurt in the eye before going back in for another kiss, this one gentle and sweet.

“I love you too Kurt” Blaine whispered against his boyfriend’s mouth.

It was their three month anniversary and Kurt was near shitting himself. He was pacing the floor in a fashion that was quite similar to when he was waiting for Blaine to pick him up for their first date. Could he do this? Yes, of course he could. He was ready. And it was Blaine; it wasn’t like he had never seen him naked before. But it was sex, with penetration and small holes and large dicks and urgh, crap.

“I’m ready my love, you can come up now,” Blaine called from the top of the stairs. He had spent the last ten minutes setting up the room and had kicked Kurt out to go wait downstairs. Kurt took a deep breath and made his way to his bedroom.

“Hey! Stop!” Blaine stopped him in the doorway and put his hand on Kurt’s cheek. “Baby, you look terrified.”

“What if I’m not good, what if you don’t find me attractive enough, what if I hurt you?” Kurt’s worries rushed out his mouth.

“You are the hottest man ever, so no need to worry about that and as for the other two, we will take it slow and I have no doubts that you will be excellent. Sex is meant to be fun Kurt, it is a way for two people to express their love in the most intimate fashion so relax and just enjoy yourself.”

Kurt breathed out slowly and leaned in for a kiss. “You always know what to say.”

Their first time was beautiful, filled with slow, sensual kisses, moans and “Oh yes, god, right there, harder.” They came together, sharing their moans with their lips attached to each other and when it was over, Kurt pulled out and collapsed beside Blaine, wrapping his arms around his waist and pulling him in close.

“Wow,” They both said at the same time, giggling at their synchronicity.

“I can’t wait to do that again.” Kurt muttered, closing his eyes and resting his head on Blaine’s chest.

“We can do that forever.” Blaine replied, running a hand through Kurt’s hair tenderly before planting a kiss on the top of his head. “I love you Kurt.”

“I love you too Blaine.”
