Because Blaine was still recovering he wasn't able to make it to the dance. Sure, Kurt understood, but he had really looked forward to spending his first valentines day with a boyfriend, especially Blaine. He had suggested to stay at home with Blaine, but that meant missing the chance on a solo and on going to the dance with his friends, and even though he would've happily complied, Blaine had told him he would probably be sleeping anyway, so Kurt should go have fun with his friends. Kurt almost snorted sarcastically, his friends were too busy flirting or dancing with their dates to even acknowledge him.

He glanced around, trying to ignore the fact that he was standing all be himself. A few of the warblers had come to, since the New Directions had invited them. Some of the warblers were loudly chatting with each other, and a few of them were actually dancing with someone. Kurt saw David dancing with a girl he vagualy recognized he remembered, she was in his mathclass. Sebastian hadn't shown up, wisely, Kurt thought. Kurt saw Quinn walking towards the stage, to perform her song with Joe, the new guy.

At that exact the doors of the gym flew open, revealing a dark, curly haired boy in a dark grey tuxedo with a dark blue tie and strangely enough, an eyepatch. A few people were looking in his direction, probably wondering what a guy with an eyepatch could be possibly doing at a school dance.
Kurt's jaw literally dropped, the guy standing there, was Blaine, his boyfriend! Then he saw Blaine searching the crowd, looking for him. Without thinking about it Kurt ran up to him.

"Blaine!" He threw his arms around him before remembering his state. "Oh my god! What are you doing here? You should be in bed, you need to rest and I don't want to be responsible if you don't recover, because it's already my fault that-"

He was interrupted by Blaine, "Kurt, it's okay! I've been sleeping since yesterday and I asked my mom and she said it was okay. Plus, I didn't want you to spend our first valentine alone." He smiled at Kurt, who almost drowned at the sight of his loving expression.

"You shouldn't have done that, you know, what if you get sick.." Kurt said worried, still a little distracted by the look on Blaine's face.

"But I wanted to". Kurt almost kissed him because of the emotion in his voice and his pouting look.

"I really love you, you know." Kurt said softly, looking into his eyes.

Blaine smiled, raising his hand and stroking Kurt's cheek with his thumb. "I know, and I will always love you".

Kurt chuckled a little bit at his cheesiness, but somewhere he really hoped Blaine had meant it.

Apparently Mercedes had walked up to the stage because suddenly the first notes to her solo sounded through the stereo.

Kurt blushed, looking up at Blaine, recognizing the song immediately.

Blaine, also recognizing the song and chuckling at the irony, didn't doubt and reached his hand out to take Kurt's. Kurt gladly took his hand, sighing as he felt Blaine's perfect hand in his, at the magical way they seemed to fit together and relaxing at the touch.

Blaine led him throw the crowd, of somewhat annoyed looking couples, and put his hands on Kurt's hips. Kurt chuckled, since he was taller than Blaine he'd expected to be the one with his hands on Blaine's hips, but when put his arms around Blaine's shoulders, and saw the way Blaine was looking at him he totally didn't mind.

If I should stay, I would only be in your way. So I'll go, but I know I'll think of you ev'ry step of the way.

Kurt and Blaine were sawing lightly, standing close, holding each other and just enjoying the moment.

And I will always love you. I will always love you. You, my darling you. Hmm.

Bittersweet memories that is all I'm taking with me. So, goodbye. Please, don't cry. We both know I'm not what you, you need.

And I will always love you. I will always love you.

Kurt looked at Blaine's good at eye, smiling sadly at the fact that Blaine had to go through because of him. Blaine looked curiously at him, questioning his sudden sad look.

Kurt had to look away, and he sighed, "I just.. I feel bad for what Sebastian to you.. you shouldn't even be the one he-"

"Hey, stop it" Blaine said softly, trying to make Kurt look at him again.

Kurt sniffed sadly, still not looking at Blaine, his eyes a little watery.

Blaine cupped his cheek causing Kurt to look at him, he wiped away one tear, that escaped Kurt's eye, with his thumb.

"Kurt," he said lovingly "I'm okay, really, and I don't regret jumping in front of you, to avoid you getting hit in the face with that slushie."

"Blaine, you had to get surgery.." It wasn't that he didn't appreciate what Blaine went through for him, it was just that he knew it was supposed to be him who needed to have surgery, who had to walk around with an eyepatch and stay at home feeling terrible, but it wasn't him, it had been Blaine. Sweet, poor and amazing Blaine..

"Shhh, I'm okay now, everythings gonna be fine." Blaine wanted Kurt to stop worrying, he just wanted him to know he really didn't care, that he had done it out of love and would do it all over again if he had to.

Kurt put his head on Blaine's shoulder and sighed, together they swayed to the music, not speaking and Blaine pulling Kurt closer, running his thumb over Kurt's lower back.

I hope life treats you kind And I hope you have all you've dreamed of. And I wish to you, joy and happiness. But above all this, I wish you love.

"Kurt?" Blaine asked softly.

"Hmm?" Kurt said, drowning in the perfect moment.

Suddenly Blaine put his hand of his back and cupped his cheek, pressing their lips together softly. "I love you," he smiled.

Kurt blushed fiercely, his stomach feeling little butterflies twirling around, or rather bouncing. "I love you, too".

Blaine pressed their lips together again. At first Kurt was a little worried about the people around them, but when Blaine's lips started to move so perfectly against his own, he forgot all about them, it was just Blaine and him. He pulled Blaine even closer and they softly kissed, totally forgetting about the rest of the world.

And I will always love you. I will always love you. I will always love you. I will always love you. I will always love you. I, I will always love you.

They broke away from the kiss, both rather flushed, Kurt looked into the beautiful golden brown eyes and he was sure he would never love someone as much as Blaine, he didn't know if he wanted to hold Blaine close, laugh or cry.

Blaine feeling the same way, ran his thumb across Kurt's face, lightly tracing his features. Kurt smiled, loving the way Blaine's touch felt so soothing.

You, darling, I love you. Ooh, I'll always, I'll always love you.

Mercedes ended the song with a beautiful high lasting note, some people were clapping other people were still close to their partner, hugging or kissing.

Kurt hadn't pulled his arms away from Blaine's shoulders, they were looking at each other, neither knowing what to say. It had felt so perfect, just standing close together, swaying lightly to the music or kissing softly, just enjoying each others company.

Kurt was the first to break the silence, "I'm really glad you decided to come here tonight".

Blaine smiled at him, "I'm glad I did too, I might not look great but at least I got a perfect night with my perfect boyfriend."

"Blaine.. don't say that, you look perfect." There was that sad feeling again.

"Even with my pirate addition?" he chuckled, causing Kurt to smile lightly.

"Yes, you always look perfect Blaine". He admitted, blushing.

"Well, I don't know about that, but I must say you look perfect, too tonight."

Kurt blushed, he had spent a long time on his outfit and his hair and he never left the house without make sure he looked good, but there was just something about the way Blaine gave him compliments that made his knees go weak.

"Blaine, what are you doing here?" Mercedes came walking towards them.

Blaine kept his hand on Kurt's lower back as they broke apart.

"I decided I had to spent valentines day with my wonderful boyfriend" Blaine smiled broadly and pressed a small kiss on Kurt's cheek.

Kurt looked up at him, smiling, his heart swelled with love at the words, and he wondered if he would ever stop feeling these butterflies when he looked at Blaine.

Mercedes smiled at the two, she was happy to finally see Kurt smile this week.

Somewhere, outside the gym, behind the closed doors another happy couple had been swaying to the music, still standing there with their arms around each other.
They didn't know who had first admitted but suddenly they both had their arms around each other, one pair of arms resting on one set of hips and the other pair of arms resting around the others shoulder.

"Jeff.. we should probably go back inside.." Nick said, but still not letting go.

"Hmm? yeah, we probably should, huh?" But neither he made any attempt to move.

"Nick?" Jeff asked, softly.

"Yes Jeff?" Nick asked, his head resting on Jeff's shoulder.

"Do you think.. you know, do you think we're like.. -like Kurt and Blaine?"

This time Nick looked up from Jeff's shoulder. "You mean gay?"

Jeff blushed, "yeah, that.."

"I don't know.. I've honestly never thought about it.. All I know is that I really like spending time with you, but I also like to be close to you.."

"Yeah.. me too."

Nick put his hand behind Jeff's neck in order to pull him closer, their lips inches apart. They were both breathing a little fast, shocked at the fact that they were suddenly so close.

Jeff's body seemed to have a mind of it's own as it closed the small space and pressed their lips together in a small kiss.

It didn't last very long, but it send a shiver down both boys bodies.

"Wow.." Nick said softly.

Jeff didn't answer but just pressed their lips together a second time, this time not so hesitant. He felt Nick's somewhat dry but warm lips move against his he sighed at the feeling and let all his fears go for once and kissing him back.

They broke away, breathing a little heavily, searching each others eyes for any sign of regret or maybe confussion.

"Nick?"

"Yea, Jeff?"

"I don't know if I am, gay I mean. But I do know I really like you," he said with a small smile around his lips, blushing.

"Yeah, me too." Nick admitted, holding the taller boy a little closer.

They smiled at each other and shared one small kiss before going back in, joinging the other happy couples, because hey, it was valentines day after all!
