Bags fly in every direction as the Warblers all try to fit their luggage into the trailer of the mini-van Cameron had hired. He'd insisted on hiring a mini-van to show Kurt the true experience of camping; not one obscured by shiny heated R.V.'s with satellite T.V.'s and mini fridges. Kurt stands a good ten feet away, gripping the shoulder strap of his satchel, hoping his designer luggage survives unscathed. For the first time that day, Kurt doesn't feel smug about being prepared and loaded before his fellow road trippers.

"This is just the beginning," Blaine teases as he steps up to Kurt and gives him a friendly nudge. Kurt can't help his shaky breath or his tendency to nibble at his bottom lip when faced with a stressful situation. This only encourages Blaine's laughter as he prods him towards the eye of the crazy storm. Kurt follows reluctantly, his judgment hindered by the smooth sound of Blaine's chuckle. As they near the group, Kurt notices a mischievous twinkle in the eyes of his closest friends as they appear from the side of the mini-van. Wes has his "I've got a plan" look on, David grining wildly, and Nick and Jeff just smirking at each other, Nick especially careful to avoid Kurt's gaze.

Kurt doesn't have to wait long to figure out what their plan is because just as Nick passes him, the trailer door is slammed shut and he finds himself lost in a sea of eager Warblers. Kurt, hand still linked with Blaine's, is strategically prodded by the conspirators in the direction of the back seat of the mini-van, successfully creating a comfortable corner for the rest of the ride. Blaine just gives him a lopsided grin and Kurt can't help but notice Wes and David's high-five slightly above his hazel-eyed friend's head as Thad starts the engine.

The drive starts as normal as it could with seventeen excited teenage boys and heaps of junk food at their disposal. Kurt shakes his head as Blaine joins David in constructing an Oreo, peanut butter, M&M's, Mars-Bar ice-cream creation which they proceed to eat with expressions of wonder. It was at times like this when Kurt thinks his step-brother would fit right in with the Warblers, none of whom seem to be concerned about calories or risks of future heart disease.

Clearly the ridiculous amount of sugar being consumed is getting to a few of the Warblers' heads because a half-hour into the drive an outburst grabs the attention of everyone in the mini-van.

"We're all going to die!" Wes proclaims.

Everyone just looks at him, waiting for an explanation from their delusional friend.

"Don't you see it?", he questions desperately, pointing at the sign at the front of the mini-van like a mad man, "It's been staring at us all morning and now we're doomed!". This is soon followed by David's gasp of realization.

Okay, so clearly somebody had to get something slightly coherent from their now distressed friends. So Kurt reluctantly lets go of Blaine's hand; he had won five out of six games of thumb war already, but Blaine refuses to give up… not that Kurt denied the contact. He looks up at the sign that Wes had pointed out: "23 eated passengers, 0 standing passengers." Okay, so the 's' of 'seated' is clearly missing, but he doubts Wes and David think a spelling error is a life or death situation. So now, even more puzzled, he hesitantly approaches the topic.

"Wesley, David, would you mind explaining to us how a spelling error is going to cause our imminent doom?"

"Don't you get it? We are all going to be eaten! Well, it is seventeen of us, but it still says zero standing!"

"It's like The House of Wax, except now it's The House of Eated," David adds.

"Please don't let me be Paris Hilton; I don't want to die in the next five minutes!" Wes pleads.

The rest of the Warblers just look on at the utter madness ensuing, and after a good ten seconds of silence, Cameron bursts into a fit of laughter, clutching his stomach and successfully hitting his head against the window, triggering a wave of laughter throughout the mini-van.

After quite some time the laughter finally dies down, but, to Kurt's amusement, some of the other Warblers join in on Wes and David's madness, and although some may have joined to mock the best friends, they all found themselves enjoying the little horror story they had conjured up for the weekend.

Their voices soon start to fade as Kurt's eyelids get heavier and heavier. The last thing he is sure he hears is Jeff shrieking at the fact that they had just passed a school called "Kilmore" and trying to convince Nick that the kids from the elementary school would be the ones to kill every last Warbler. And he wasn't even sure he heard right because, 'Really Jeff how were six year olds going to murder a bunch of crazy seventeen year old boys?' Luckily, Nick voices Kurt's thoughts.

Kurt usually doesn't approve of wasting precious daylight hours on sleep, but the previous night had tired him out; he had made a huge sacrifice and missed out on his beauty sleep to help Blaine cram for their French final. Kurt himself, of course, was perfectly capable of acing the paper; he was, after all, prepared for the day when France finally called his name.

So after setting Blaine a few practice tests, he had settled onto his bed with his laptop balancing on his lap, earphones securely in place, watching Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Kurt had decided to watch the entire Harry Potter series ever since he had discovered Blaine's dorky obsession and was proud to say that he got to number four and actually enjoyed it! A certain Cedric Diggory had made the forth particularly enjoyable...

If anyone had told Kurt that he would fall asleep while sitting in a moving mini-van surrounded by crazy sugar-high teenage boys, he would have bet his entire Vogue collection against it, but Kurt is finding it very easy to slowly drift off into semi-consciousness on Blaine's strong shoulder breathing in his scent of honey, coffee, and something distinctly Blaine.

Blaine is busy watching the antics of his fellow Warblers when a light warmth settling in on his shoulder catches his attention. He turns his head slowly to find Kurt nuzzling into the fabric on his shoulder, and once again he wonders how Kurt always manages to find the perfect position, not that it bothers Blaine of course. On the contrary it has become one of his favourite things over the past few months and he can't resist smiling contently into Kurt's soft brown hair and sighing at the familiar soft touch.

What Blaine has forgotten, though, is that he usually does this when he is alone with Kurt. He only realises his slip when the mini-van goes silent and he is brought back to reality with the not-so-subtle clearing of Wes's throat. Blaine looks up tentatively to find fourteen pairs of eyes—well, fifteen counting Thad's through the rear-view mirror—all staring at him with all-knowing expressions.

"Enjoying our little set-up are you?" Wes smirks as he gives David, Nick and Jeff a triumphant look.

So it was his meddling friends who got him and Kurt in their cozy corner…sometimes Blaine can't help but love them. But right then he had to keep up whatever was left of his act so he takes a breath to feign innocence at Wes's statement but is quickly cut short by Jeff.

"Don't you deny it Anderson."

"Yeah, we just saw how much you seem to enjoy the smell of our little Kurtie's hair," David quips.

"You guys look so sweet together," Nick adds as he quickly snaps a photo with his iPhone.

The jig is up, Blaine thinks. He can't believe that he slipped so easily in front of all the Warblers!

"And before you think we've all just figured this out now, think again. Your longing glances almost had us all suffocated with the sexual tension. We just didn't realize you guys were so…cozy." Cameron can't help but make their lead Warbler just a little more uncomfortable —it was just too fun!

Have I really been that obvious? Ohmygosh what if Kurt noticed? What if that's the reason why Kurt's been looking away every time I catch his gaze? What if that's why Kurt has started being so protective of his laptop, afraid that I might read what he tells Mercedes about the obsessive relationship he is in? What if that's why Kurt uses his earphones so frequently, trying to avoid me? What if he doesn't feel the same way? What if? What if? What if? Blaine's thoughts are out of control.

"Blaine, calm down! Breathe!" Wes reminds his friend in concern.

"How can I? If you guys noticed so easily what if Kurt did too? And what if he doesn't feel the same way? Of course he doesn't feel the same way! He's just too nice and considerate and sweet and perfect to say anything..."

Nick giggles into Jeff's shoulder and a few other Warblers can't help but crack up at how their usually composed soloist is slowly becoming unravelled.

"Blaine, you need to calm down," David says, echoing Wes's words, "If anything Kurt is even more oblivious than you. You both seem incapable of noticing each other's obviousness and it's driving us all insane."

"Really Blaine, even I have to admit that however cute it may be, it's also quite amusing watching you two around each other," Nick adds, looking at the two 'friends'.

However much the knowledge of his friends' observations shocks Blaine, he sighs in relief, releasing a breath that he hadn't realised he had been holding in.

"So Kurt isn't weirded out by me?" he questions, needing confirmation.

"No Blaine," Thad confirms, turning back towards him as he stops at a red light. "In fact I'd say he is as smitten as you are, but that's just me."

Sniggers ensue at the obvious understatement and Blaine can't help the goofy grin that spreads across his face or the manifesting hope that is slowly causing his chest to swell. After a few catcalls that cause a definite blush to stain Blaine's olive cheeks, he decides that ,since the cat is out of the bag, there isn't any reason not to make the most of the situation, so he leans his head to the side, breathing in Kurt's oh-so-good scent again.

Slowly the beat starts, Warblers joining in one by one and harmonizing perfectly despite never having practiced the song before. Blaine can't place the song at first but once Wes takes the lead he has to restrain his laughter at the absurdity of his friends in an attempt to not wake Kurt up.

"Called him for the first time yesterday
You finally found the missing part of you
You felt so close but he was far away
Left you without anything to say"
The Jonas Brothers...really?
"Now you're speechless over the edge, you're just breathless
You never thought that you'd catch this lovebug again
Hopeless, head over heels in the moment
You never thought that you'd get hit by this lovebug again"

The Warblers, definitely having fun at Blaine's expense, gesture wildly into the air and make googly eyes at one another but however ridiculous they act, the song is true...he is hopelessly head-over-heels in love with his best friend. So Blaine sits back and enjoys the rest of the song, finally allowing himself to feel what he'd been denying for so long...

"You can't get his smile out of your mind
(you can't get him outta your mind)
You think about his eyes all the time
He's beautiful but he don't even try
(he don't even, don't even try)
Modesty is just so hard to find"
A few more chuckles escape at the thought of Kurt being modest.
"Now you're speechless over the edge, you're just breathless
You never thought that you'd catch this lovebug again
Hopeless, head over heels in the moment
You never thought that you'd get hit by this lovebug again..."


Kurt shuffles beside Blaine, the disturbance finally getting to him as Blaine gestures wildly at the Warblers to stop their teasing. Mercifully they do, everyone scrambling to face the front of the mini-van as if nothing happened. Kurt slowly raises his head, leaving Blaine's now warm shoulder exposed. Yawning and rubbing his eyes in a way that makes Blaine's heart flutter Kurt mumbles "What's going on? Why is everyone so quiet?"

End Notes: Aaaw poor confused Kurt...Thank you all for reading!Please review *insert Bradshaw eyes*Xxx Sashie*
