With only 14 days till Christmas Kurt was beginning to feel the pressure of finding a perfect gift for Blaine, they had been together for a few months now (whatever they were, they still hadn't discussed whether they were boyfriends or not, it would just complicate things) and it was their first Christmas together as a family and as more. Kurt decided to get Blaine two presents, one that he could give to him in front of their parents and a special one that he'd give him when it was just the two of them.

Winter break was also coming up in a few days and Kurt was excited, he'd be able to spend more time with Blaine alone since his father would be taking Angela out to random Christmas parties from friends he and Angela had suddenly made since his dad became quite the socialite. The coming of winter break also meant the New Directions Christmas party which was hosted by Rachel in her parent's basement. Kurt usually would be excited of the prospect of having a good time with friends, but now that him and Blaine were a secret 'thing' he worried that one of them (or both) would end up getting drunk and saying/doing something that could affect their relationship.

Kurt looked around the store he was in apprehensively, once Mercedes found out he was going shopping after school she insisted she'd come along which meant he had to prolong getting Blaine his special present and just get him an awkward step brother present instead. Rachel and Tina were also tagging along, making a day of it since they also needed to go Christmas shopping. Why they all left it so late was beyond Kurt, at least he had a well enough reason. He just didn't know what to get for Blaine, he already had bought presents for everyone else.

"So you're just shopping for Blaine today?" Mercedes asked as Kurt starting looking through the shirt section.

"Uh yeah, I don't really know what to get for him since I haven't known him long," Kurt half lied - he didn't know him long but that wasn't the reason he didn't know. "I mean Angela was simple because she has similar interests to me and loves fashion so I got her a scarf."

"How about you get him a video game or something?" Tina chipped in overhearing the conversation.

"I could help with that!" Rachel jumped excitedly and Kurt smiled, Rachel did have her good qualities after all. "I mean because of Finn, he loves video games so of course I could help."

"Er Blaine doesn't seem to be that interested thanks though," Kurt replied huffing in annoyance, if this was so complicated how would getting a 'special' gift turn out? "I might just get him a new pair of boots, his ones seem a little worn out." Kurt laughed and started looking for the perfect pair.

He went to about five different stores before he did, by the fourth the girls had gone to get something to eat so Kurt decided as he paid for his items that he'd go look for another present, while the girls weren't there.

Kurt found a beautiful store which sold personalised handmade jewellery, he looked around for a while before finally deciding on a beautiful silver chain which you could choose an initial for. At first he thought of choosing a 'B' for Blaine, but decided instead to use his initial, 'K' so whenever Blaine looked at it he was reminded of Kurt. He thought it was a bit cliché that the K had a little red heart stone set at the bottom but didn't really care, it would make Blaine smile and that was enough.

He bought the necklace and made his way out bumping into his girls on the way.

"Hey Kurt," Mercedes eyed him up, wondering what he was doing in that store before she spotted the little bag he was carrying. "Ooh what's that!" she said making a grab for it.

"N-nothing," Kurt stammered quickly putting the little bag in his satchel.

"Oh is it for me?" Mercedes winked.

"Er…"

"Hey it must be a surprise don't ask him!" Tina interjected and Kurt was grateful the subject was dropped.

"I'm just going to get home now," Kurt said as the girls made plans to carry on shopping, Kurt was worn out with cheerio practice today and now running around the different stores. The girls nodded and Kurt hugged them goodbye before making his way out to the parking lot.

He was surprised to see Blaine and his friends from before hanging around outside and was about to go say hi before he realised he was holding his presents in his hands, Kurt had met these guys a few more times in the past few months, they were actually really nice. Kurt tried to quickly make his way to his car without being seen but unfortunately for him Jeff, if he recalls called to him as he just made it.

"Hey Kurt! Right?" Kurt turned around and saw Blaine slightly looking confused before he realised who it was and broke out into a smile.

Kurt waved and quickly unlocked his car to throw the bags in while the guys were making their way over.

"Been shopping?" He heard a familiar voice say, it was Wes.

"Uh yeah, last minute Christmas things and all that," Kurt laughed, pushing his stray bangs from his forehead, not noticing that Blaine was following the movement.

"Anything for me?" Nick said trying to peek into Kurt's car.

Kurt batted him away playfully, "No not in there, there isn't," Kurt winked.

"Ooh I got a present!" Nick said jumping and Jeff rolled his eyes.

"You shouldn't have told him that he's probably going to make a scrapbook of your face now." Wes laughed and Nick scowled.

Blaine remained silent the whole time just watching the interactions going on between his secret lover and his best friends. It was really weird.

"Well I'd love to stay and chat but I'm kind of worn out from today," He motioned his cheerio's outfit. "And really want to get home and shower," Blaine cleared his throat and Kurt silently laughed, knowing Blaine was probably imagining him in the shower.

Kurt said goodbye to the boys and got into his car, not before taking one last look at Blaine and sighing. He looked perfect, as usual, absolutely gorgeous. Kurt couldn't wait till later when Burt and Angela were asleep and Blaine would sneak into his room.

He didn't get his wish though.

They had spent all of dinner throwing each other flirty glances and slightly brushing over each others hands when they passed each other things.

But when they had retired to their rooms after watching a movie with their parents it had been thirty minutes since his dad had said goodnight and still no sign of Blaine. He decided to send a quick text.

So are you running a bit later or… - Kurt

Ten minutes past, still no text.

Twenty minutes past, still no text.

When thirty minutes had passed and still he received nothing, he decided to take matters into his own hands and go to Blaine's room.

Kurt carefully knocked on Blaine's door, not loud enough so anyone but Blaine could hear.

No response.

"Blaine?" Kurt quietly called.

Kurt huffed and went to open the door only to find it was locked, Blaine never usually locked the door just in case Kurt felt lonely and wanted to go see him in the night. Kurt had done the same thing ever since they first kissed, left his door unlocked.

Kurt frowned and huffed in frustration, deciding Blaine was just in one of those moods and he went back to his room sending another text before he went to sleep.

I don't know what the problem is but if I've done something to upset you let me know. - Kurt

He honestly didn't know what else he could say so he switched his light off and tried to sleep. His mind was filled with worry though, they seemed fine before so what changed? Maybe Blaine just needed space, but he knew he could just tell Kurt if that was the case.

Kurt finally fell asleep an hour later but woke up in the middle of the night to someone wrapping their arms around his waist.

"B-Blaine?" Kurt asked sleepily.

"Shh, go back to sleep baby," Blaine cooed in his ear and Kurt almost complied before he realised why he went to bed so angry in the first place.

"No," He snapped moving out of Blaine's arms and sitting up abruptly. "Why was your door locked? Why did you ignore me?"

Kurt squinted in the dark, his eyes finally getting used to it as Blaine became clearer. He looked tired, no he looked like he had been crying for hours. Kurt quickly dropped his stern posture and grabbed Blaine's face.

"Baby what's wrong?"

"S-sorry, I didn't mean to ignore you I just didn't want you to see me how I was." Blaine sniffed, holding back tears again.

"Like what honey? What happened?" Kurt pressed a kiss to Blaine's cheeks, which were now wet with tears. Kurt reached over and turned his lamp on, needing to see Blaine clearer.

"I-I don't know what happened," Blaine began, "I just get like this sometimes after everything that's happened. Especially around this time of year." Blaine sniffed. "I mean I locked my door because I'm not used to having someone to hold me when I get upset." He looked directly at Kurt, "I guess that loneliness I suffered for so long creeps up to me sometimes."

"Blaine you're not alone," Kurt gently took his face in his hands. "I'm here for you, always and I always will be."

"I know Kurt, but that's the thing I get scared that you're going to leave just like everyone else that I get close to."

"I'm never leaving Blaine I mean it. I've told you this before," Kurt leaned forward and kissed Blaine. "I. Am. Never. Leaving. You," Kurt said each word in between kisses.

Blaine laughed then finally letting himself fall into the kiss.

They woke up in the morning holding on to each other like nothing else matter, well to them nothing else did matter.

Blaine was curled up on Kurt's chest and Kurt had his arm wrapped around him. This was the first time they'd ever woke up like this, usually they'd cuddle but one of them had to go back to their own room in case Burt or Angela walked in and found them like it.

Kurt slowly woke up and registered the weight on his chest and sighed in happiness, cuddling closer to a sleeping Blaine who was all curly hair and long eyelashes, before realising he was waking up next to Blaine.

"Blaine honey wake up," Kurt shook him, trying not to startle him but wake him up.

Blaine groggily woke up and asked, "Ugh what time is it?" before snuggling closer to Kurt's warmth.

"It's 6:30 but that's the least of our worries." Just as Kurt said that Blaine shot up realising what he meant.

"Shit, how did we end up falling asleep like that?" Blaine asked panicky, fumbling around trying to put his shirt back on, Kurt would have laughed if the situation wasn't so serious, they could have been caught. Half an hour more and Burt would have came in to check on Kurt as usual, to make sure he's up and getting ready for school before he leaves for the shop.

Kurt just shrugged before throwing Blaine his pants and kissing him lightly before Blaine ran out of his room to his own.

Kurt sighed in relief as he heard Blaine's door close and then let himself laugh.

"Shit that was close," he muttered to himself as he got up with the intent of getting ready for the day ahead. He couldn't let that happen again, he really couldn't.

"Welcome fellow New Directions to the annual Rachel Berry Christmas Extravaganza!" Rachel excitedly bellowed over the mike that was placed on the stage in her basement, she had obviously already started drinking before anyone else got there, at least she wasn't so stingy on the amount of alcohol people were allowed to consume after the train wreck of her last party where she gave out 'drink tokens'. Today was the day of the start of winter break, which also meant the Christmas party that Rachel was hosting.

Everyone was there from New Directions of course, who would want to miss the opportunity to get drunk and make out with everyone? Kurt of course would rather be at home with Blaine but decided to go anyway after much convincing from Blaine.

Blaine wasn't dressed like he normally did, he was wearing a red and black striped cardigan over a tight white t-shirt and he was wearing black skinny jeans with a pair of black converse. Kurt loved the look, it wasn't no 'leather jacket and boots' but he certainly pulled it off. Kurt was dressed in similar colours, a red shirt with a skinny black tie and his signature knee high boots and skinny jeans of course.

Santana wolf whistled as both boys arrived and Kurt rolled his eyes, "Looking good boys!" She slurred, even more drunk than Rachel.

The party wasn't that bad both Kurt and Blaine had decided not to drink, not because of designated driving (they were going to crash at Rachel's) but because the didn't trust what they'd do to each other under the influence, but with the other glee clubbers constantly shoving drinks at them they caved but still decided to keep it minimum, a light buzz over being completely wasted.

"LET'S PLAY SEVEN MINUTES IN HEAVEN!" Rachel shouted and everyone cheered, except Kurt and Blaine who just looked at each other worryingly.

They all sat in a circle, spinning an empty vodka bottle. Mercedes had to go off with Sam, everyone cheered when Sam walked out with his hair a mess, obviously being pulled. Rachel and Santana went in next and everyone went silent as Rachel's screech could be heard, Kurt didn't want to KNOW what Santana did. Next it was Blaine's turn to spin and Kurt felt his stomach knotting.

"KURT!" Rachel screamed as the bottle landed on him, Kurt blushed and looked around panicked.

"Dude that's gross they're like… brothers." Finn slurred.

"Wanky," Santana said raising her eyebrows.

"Well technically they're step brothers and you don't have to do anything just stand there for 7 minutes." Artie shrugged.

Kurt looked at Blaine to see what he wanted to do and Blaine just stood up and walked up to the closet not looking back to see if Kurt would follow, Kurt felt someone push him to his feet and he guessed it was Santana from the cat calls that he heard as he made his way over to Blaine.

Blaine closed the door behind them and let out a laugh, "I knew something like this would happen."

Kurt hummed in agreement. "So you think they're out there listening?"

"Probably not," Just as Blaine said that he heard someone shout 'Take it all off Brittany!' and a bunch of shouts, yeah that definitely proved no one was listening.

"Well," Kurt said seductively, "I guess since no one is listening…"

5 minutes left.

Blaine's eyebrows shot up for a brief second before surging forward and grabbing Kurt's face, kissing him deeply.

Kurt moaned as Blaine's tongue traced his mouth, he thrust forward and discovered Blaine was just as hard as him.

"Oh god Kurt-" Blaine moaned as Kurt began rutting against him.

3 minutes left.

"Shit Blaine," Kurt ground his hips down, his erection directly rubbing on Blaine's.

Blaine started kissing Kurt again, biting his lip and thrusting his tongue into his mouth.

1 minute left.

"Shit I'm so close," Blaine growled into Kurt's ear.

The pace quickened up then and both boys were about to come, but the door was abruptly opened.

"Time's up!" Santana said before she took in the scene in front of her.

Kurt and Blaine had both managed to pull away in time but it was obvious what they had been doing both boys had obvious erections and their lips were swollen and red. Blaine's hair was sticking up where Kurt pulled it and Kurt's shirt wasn't tucked in all the way.

"Oh my god," Santana whispered, putting the pieces together. "You two…?"

Kurt and Blaine just stood there, speechless.
