Shock, that was the first emotion Kurt felt as Santana swung open the door to reveal him and Blaine in quite a compromising position. The second was relief as he managed to pull away in enough time for Santana not to notice. Third was panic as the Latina's eyes widened and she managed to put two and two together anyway.

"San-" Kurt faintly heard coming from Blaine's direction, but the blood rushing to his head because of the current situation plus the alcohol fully taking effect stopped him from fully taking notice.

"Waaaaaaaaanky," Santana slurred laughing loud, almost attracting attention from the rest of the glee clubbers. She took one look around and shuffled in between Kurt and Blaine before closing the door behind her.

"What are you doing Satan?" Kurt demanded, being forced to press right against the wall behind him because of the lack of room due to the new body added to the already small space. If she was going to rat on them he'd rather it be over and done with as soon as possible.

"Talking teen gay, heard of it?" Santana crossed her arms and surveyed both boys, Blaine was looking at his feet not really concentrating on anything, he hadn't even tried to smooth his hair down yet knowing it was pointless and a faint bruise where Kurt had sucked was forming. Kurt on the other hand was almost mimicking Santana's stance, with his arm crossed, however he was sporting the biggest bitch glare ever. "But I'm guessing you'd probably rather be getting your mack on, am I right?" Kurt blushed but his bitch glare didn't falter.

"We're not… we're not together this was a one off," Kurt stated, attempting to lie.

Santana raised her perfectly manicure eyebrow. "You don't fool me Hummel I've seen the looks you give each other and those flirty duets and whatever, I've had my suspicions but this just confirmed it."

Kurt gave up trying to lie. "You're just going to tell the rest of the New Directions that innocent little Kurt is getting it on with his step brother so why even bother 'talking' Santana?"

"You underestimate me Hummel," Santana winked. "I don't really give a damn that you're 'getting it on' with Dr. Steamy over here, as long as you're getting some," She laughed and Kurt rolled his eyes.

"So what are you saying?" Blaine finally spoke up looking up from his shoes with a confused look on his face.

"What I'm saying my frisky little boys is that I'm not going to tell anyone. In fact," She perked up and flicked her hair over her shoulder. "I'm going to help you."

"Help us?" Kurt and Blaine both asked at the same time.

Santana put her arm around Blaine, "Yes, help you, I'm sure you don't have much time to do the nasty right?" Kurt nodded, warily.

"Well leave it to Auntie Tana, I'll make sure you'll have every window of opportunity available to get your gay on."

Kurt laughed, stunned. Santana was actually going to help them?

"Thanks…?" Blaine said, unsure.

"You're welcome hobbit, now let's go par-tay before Berry realises we're in here together and gets a boner or something." Santana quickly pulled the door open dragging Blaine and Kurt with her.

The rest of the party was actually a blast and Santana did stick to her word offering to share a room with Kurt and Blaine but then leaving after everyone else had fallen asleep in the house. Leaving Kurt and Blaine alone in one of the many guest rooms. (Why there was so many had to be due to the amount of people Rachel and her dads entertain.)

"So… great party," Blaine said moving closer to Kurt on the bed.

"I guess you could say that," Kurt looked over to Blaine and smiled. "It turned out better than expected though." He leant forward and lightly kissed Blaine on the lips.

"Mmm," Blaine agreed. "I mean that whole Santana thing, man I was certain she was going to run out there and tell everyone."

"Auntie Tana is full of surprises," Kurt said in his best Santana impersonation, Blaine laughed and kissed Kurt fully on the lips, Kurt broke away before it got too heated.

"As much as I'd love to make out with you right now I'm not really comfortable with doing that in one of Rachel's spare bedrooms." Kurt sighed patting Blaine on the shoulder, looking around and seeing the multiple pictures of Rachel and the random gold stars everywhere, why would anyone let her decorate the guest bedrooms?

Blaine nodded in agreement, it did feel a bit creepy. As long as he was with Kurt he didn't care what they did.

Kurt snuggled up on Blaine's chest murmuring a goodnight and Blaine sighed in contentment, he lied there just listening to Kurt's breathing even out and slowly started stroking circles into his back, loving the feel of the other boy lying on him, things were perfect right now. He never felt this way about anyone before in his life it was unfair that fate had brought them together this way. It didn't stop how he felt though.

"I love you," Blaine whispered before realising shit he wasn't meant to say that yet.

Blaine looked down quickly, panicked. Kurt was snoring softly and Blaine sighed in relief, it felt good to finally say it out loud but he didn't want Kurt to find out just yet; he might not feel the same after all and Blaine didn't want to be rejected.

He fell into a comfortable sleep after a while, wondering how he got so lucky to find someone like Kurt.

The next few days were uneventful, they woke up early the day after the party and travelled home together after saying their goodbyes, Santana made sure to hold on to both boys a little longer than necessary to whisper things in their ears, mainly tips about what they could do and how they could do it secretly and Blaine found it funny while Kurt was trying to get away as fast as possible.

They didn't really get a chance to be alone in the following days since Burt and Angela were always around and by the time they went to bed both boys were exhausted from all the Christmas festivities they were made to take part in.

Santana had texted both of them a few times asking if they had 'got some' and if they'd like to go to her house to make out and if her and Brittany could watch, Kurt gave up replying after a while but Blaine loved playing along, Kurt was glad he was making a new friend. Blaine kind of kept to himself usually so it was a nice change to see him interact with someone else.

It was the day before Christmas eve that they finally had time alone, Burt and Angela had gone out to a friend's dinner party and wouldn't be back till the morning. Kurt saw this as the perfect opportunity to give Blaine his gift.

"Blaaaaine," Kurt said in a sing song voice as he entered the living room. Blaine was sitting on the couch watching TV; turning it off when he saw Kurt, wanting to give him his full attention. "I thought I'd give you one of your presents now, lets just say it's not something I'd want anyone but you too see."

Blaine blushed and raised his eyebrows and Kurt gasped realising what Blaine must have thought it was. "Oh god! No it's nothing like that!" Kurt's eyes widened and Blaine chucked. "Merry Christmas Blaine," Kurt smiled handing over the small silver box.

"Kurt…" Blaine whispered as he took out the silver chain with Kurt's initial on it. "I-I don't know what to say." He looked directly at Kurt who was smiling widely. "Thank you Kurt, I love it." He leaned forward and kissed him, "Merry Christmas babe."

"I guess you'd want your present now as well." Blaine winked standing up, "I had the same idea, separate present and all. I'll be right back." Kurt watched as Blaine left, feeling slightly giddy and apprehensive at what Blaine could have gotten him.

Blaine returned a few minutes later with a medium sized box in his hand that was wrapped in black paper (classy, Kurt thought) and tied off with a silver ribbon.

"I wonder what this is," Kurt started unwrapping the box and gasped when he opened it. Inside was what looked like a pocket watch, it was silver and had delicate engravings. "Aw Blaine I love it!" Kurt said hugging Blaine.

"Open it," Blaine whispered into Kurt's neck.

Kurt opened it slowly and felt he could cry when he saw what was inside, on the left side there was a black and white picture of him and Blaine, smiling and hugging. It was one of the only pictures they had taken together in fear of someone seeing them, they obviously looked smitten with each other and Blaine was smiling incredibly big.

"Blaine this is amazing," Kurt whispered, his voice not able to go any higher without cracking.

"I'm glad you like it baby," Blaine smiled pulling Kurt in for a hug.

They sat like that for a while, just cuddling and murmuring sweet things into each others ears.

"I'm going to go take a shower," Kurt declared, standing up from where he was cuddling Blaine. "I'll make a start on dinner when I come back, still want to help me?"

"Of course," Blaine smiled watching Kurt's ass as he walked away, he couldn't help it; Kurt had a great ass.

Kurt stripped all his clothes off and got into the shower, sighing as the water ran over his body. He didn't hear the bathroom door open and close so he didn't realise anyone else was in the bathroom with him till he felt a warm body press up against his.

"Oh my god you scared me!" Kurt shouted as he turned to face Blaine.

Blaine chucked, "Sorry baby, wanted to surprise you."

"Well that you did," Kurt smiled letting his bitch face falter. It wasn't the first time they had shared a shower and Kurt did enjoy it.

Blaine wrapped his arms around Kurt and started kissing his neck slowly, Kurt groaned and grabbed onto Blaine's hair which made him moan into Kurt's skin as he started biting.

"Blaine," Kurt arched his neck back to give Blaine better access.

"Oh god Kurt I want to taste you so bad," Blaine growled as he started slowly stroking Kurt's erection.

Kurt whimpered and crashed his mouth into Blaine's, he really wanted Blaine to do that but wasn't sure, they hadn't gone further than hand jobs and rutting together so he was still a bit apprehensive.

Blaine moved his hands around to cup Kurt's ass and started kneading it gently, "God you're perfect." He whispered into Kurt's mouth.

"Blaine, please…"

"What do you need baby?" Blaine asked peppering light kisses over Kurt's chest, momentarily taking a nipple into his mouth making Kurt's back arch.

"Suck me," Kurt moaned and Blaine wasn't sure he was hearing right.

"Really?" Blaine looked so happy and puppy like and Kurt would have laughed at how enthusiastic and cute he was if he wasn't about to be sucked off, so instead he just nodded and watched as Blaine slowly dropped to his knees, kissing every inch of Kurt that he could on the way down. Kurt gasped as Blaine became eye level with his cock and experimentally kissed the tip. Blaine took that as a sign to carry on and licked a strip on the underside, making Kurt moan.

"Blaine," Kurt threaded his hands through Blaine's hair as he mouthed at the tip of his erection, he grabbed his curls tighter when Blaine sunk his mouth down, swirling his tongue as he did so.

"Oh my god," Kurt shouted as Blaine started humming around his dick, working his mouth up and down. Kurt couldn't imagine a better feeling than Blaine's mouth it was all wet heat and amazingness. Blaine had discovered that he didn't have a gag reflex, Kurt discovered this when Blaine sunk even deeper, swallowing around him. Kurt noticed Blaine's hand slowly pumping at his own cock and Kurt moaned at the sight, feeling himself getting harder, if it was possible to get any harder than he was now.

"B-Blaine I'm close," Kurt whined lightly tugging at Blaine's hair to get him to pull off, he didn't though. In fact Blaine just carried on sucking faster, bobbing his head and moaning around Kurt's erection.

"Fuck Blaine!" Kurt shouted as he came down his throat, Blaine swallowed around him and Kurt thought he was going to pass out from the hotness of the situation. Blaine pulled off with an obscene pop and smiled up at Kurt. Kurt didn't hesitate to pull Blaine up to his feet and kiss him feverishly, tasting himself in Blaine's mouth and oh god he didn't think that would do anything for him but it did. His dick twitched in interest but it was way too soon to get hard again.

"Kurt…" Blaine groaned as he came hot between them, slowly stroking himself through his own orgasm.

Kurt looked down at the come that had landed on his stomach and tentatively dipped a finger in, bringing it to his lips to taste. Blaine groaned at the sight and surged forward kissing Kurt hard.

Kurt giggled when they broke apart, "Wow…" he uttered not sure what else to say.

"I know," Blaine said pushing them both back under the stream of water. "At least cleaning up isn't hard to do right now," Kurt raised his eyebrows. "No pun intended." Blaine winked and Kurt burst out laughing hugging Blaine closer.

Blaine felt it was the perfect moment to say those three words he had been holding back but he bit his tongue. He didn't want to risk losing the best thing that had ever happened to him.

Kurt wasn't looking forward to the party on Christmas Eve, it was a few hours away and already he was nervous. The party was yearly hosted by his Aunt June, a nice enough woman but when she got drunk (which usually happened) she did nothing but shoot a fuckload of embarrassing questions and accusations at Kurt and anyone stupid enough to stay around her after he fifth glass of brandy.

He had warned Blaine beforehand but he brushed it off with a 'how bad could it be' and a kiss to Kurt's lips which went a bit further in the half an hour they had alone to 'make Blaine stop looking like the teen villain out of a 80's rom-com' which effectively cut the conversation.

Blaine kind of regretted uttering those words as he saw just how bad it could be and he only just walked in Kurt's aunt's house when he was immediately enveloped in a bear hug with words like 'You are absolutely gorgeous!' shouted down his ear.

"June!" Burt shouted pulling his sister off his step-son and into a hug before she embarrassed everyone further. "I see you've started drinking already." He chucked light heartedly patting her on the back. "This is Angela, my wife and her son Blaine, who you just attacked." June blushed as she stared wildly at Blaine and Blaine wondered briefly if the tendency to blush ran in Kurt's family.

"Nice to meet you," Blaine and Angela both said.

They all went into the living room where Blaine met some more of Kurt's family and friends and smiled as Kurt caught up with the ones he only saw once a year.

June had another drink and was eyeing up both Kurt and Blaine for most of the night. As they were all sitting around drinking (except for the minors) and having a few laughs June perked up and started to interrogate Kurt.

"So Kurtsie have you found yourself a boyfriend yet?" She asked looking at Blaine's reaction, who remained calm and looked over at Kurt showing fake interest.

Kurt wasn't shocked really, he was expecting this question. "No, I'm more concentrating on my studies." He smiled and went to continue his conversation with his cousin Arlene before June spoke up again.

"What about you Blaine?" She smiled sweetly.

"Nope, no boyfriend." He smiled nervously.

"Girlfriend?" June's husband James asked, he didn't assume Blaine was straight and he had nothing against gay people, Kurt was his favourite nephew after all. He just didn't want to assume he was gay either.

"No, I'm gay." Blaine said matter of fact and June squealed.

"Burt! You had to marry someone with the perfect boyfriend for Kurt as a son didn't you!" She raised her hand to her mouth dramatically, she really was drunk.

Burt laughed nervously, "I think you should calm down with the brandy." A few agreements were heard around the room.

June shook her head. "No just look at them," everyone turned around to look at Kurt and Blaine who were sitting next to each other with confused looks on their faces. "Don't they look cute together!" She clapped her hands excitedly.

"June, that's enough." James said sternly.

There was an awkward silence as everyone looked around at each other and June just carried on staring intently at the two boys, as if she thought the longer she'd stare they'd suddenly be wearing tuxes and walking down the aisle to get married.

Blaine was the first to break the silence. "So did anyone see the Buckeyes game the other night?" Conversation about the game started up and Kurt smiled at Blaine gratefully, not noticing Burt also staring intently at them, like he was trying to figure something out.

After the awkwardness of Christmas Eve, Christmas Day was a welcome thing. Everyone exchanged gifts. Blaine scoffed at Kurt's present, new boots because his looked like 'a homeless man would wear them' Blaine had tried to argue that the roughness added to the appeal but Kurt was having none of it. Secretly he loved them, he just wouldn't let Kurt know that. Blaine had gotten him Love Never Dies on DVD to add to his collection (it wasn't as good as phantom of the opera but Kurt still enjoyed it.) Kurt and Angela left Burt and Blaine alone watching Christmas movies as the made a start on dinner.

"I'm sorry about my sister yesterday Blaine," Burt huffed. "Once she's had a few drink she can get a bit excited."

Blaine just nodded and smiled at Burt, showing it didn't bother him, when it reality it was ironic just how much June was telling the truth. Burt did have to marry his mother which made Kurt unattainable. Well, to everyone else he would have been unattainable but Blaine liked fighting for what he wanted.

Dinner was amazing of course, since Kurt did most of the work. But the dinner itself had been awkward, there was the odd small talk but Kurt and Blaine found it hard to be all friendly with each other like normally, in case it reminded Burt or Angela of the conversation with June yesterday, the last thing they needed was anyone finding out, not when things were going so well.

The rest of the break went fine and it was finally New Years Eve. With a bunch of apologising and promises to make it up to them, Burt and Angela had gone out leaving Kurt and Blaine spending the new year alone, they tried to act upset but in reality there was no one else they would have preferred to spend it with. They got invited to a few parties but declined all of them, lying about Burt and Angela wanting them to be at home this year.

Kurt and Blaine were cuddling on the couch as they watched the newscast covering the new year. There was a minute to go and Kurt was excited, he was going to kiss Blaine at midnight, he never thought he'd be able to do that.

Blaine smiled never wanting to forget this moment.

Both boys leaned forward and joined their lips together. Ignorant to the fireworks and celebrations that were taking place on TV and in houses around them, all that mattered in that moment was each other.

Happy New Year!

They both pulled apart and Blaine looked sincerely into Kurt's eyes, not afraid to feel anymore. "I love you."

Kurt froze.
