Hello one and all. A lovely reader, Voyage Asia, found my reaction fic on my tumblr (mrscriss2012) and asked if I would post them here...so here we go. Every week will bring a brand new reaction fic/ a scene I wish we had gotten in Glee season 6 between Kurt and Blaine. They will be short and sweet, with NO KAROFSKY in sight. I have rated them M just in case but don't expect smut each time, I'm aiming more for fluff because that's what I need right now! I will post them the weekend after the episode has aired right here.

For those who were/are following "I Won't Let You Down," the sequel, "Feels Like Home," will start this Wednesday (Jan 14th) and will update Weds, Fri and Sun evenings UK time.

It's late when Blaine leaves Mr Schue's apartment and heads outside to walk to his car. Sam had left before him and after that it had seemed kind of awkward with Kurt and Rachel sitting side by side on the couch while Schue took one armchair and Blaine the other; the one that was unfortunately right opposite Kurt.

Conversation had been stilted and uncomfortable and Blaine knew it was up to him to break the atmosphere by declaring he needed to go and look over some sheet music before work tomorrow. A total lie of course, but he didn't think he could sit there a moment longer without making a total fool of himself. Besides, Rachel can read him like an open book and he knows she's been staring at him all evening, compiling a report to give to Kurt, no doubt.

Kurt.

Blaine sighs heavily as he unlocks his car and takes a moment to lean against it in the dark, looking up at the stars. 'Not here,' he thinks to himself as he blinks hard. 'Not now.'

"Blaine!" He turns at the sound of Kurt's voice, almost as if he had been expecting him to appear though in reality it was more of a hopeful wish. "Hey."

Kurt jogs down the street to catch up to him and gives a shy smile when he stops in front of him.

"Hey, Kurt."

"So uh...I just wanted to say that um..." Kurt pauses and takes a deep breath. "I'm happy for you. About...y'know."

Blaine knows when Kurt is being sincere and knows when he's just being polite and this is definitely the latter. The question is though, why did Kurt feel the need to chase after him to say that?

"Oh, um, thanks," Blaine says, blushing in the dark.

"Why do you do that?"

Blaine looks up. "Do what?"

"Say thanks like that? Like you're...I don't know, embarrassed, or something."

"I'm not embarrassed," Blaine flares hotly. "I just...it's us, isn't it?"

"Not anymore," Kurt says with a small, sad smile. "You've kinda made that obvious."

"Excuse me?" Blaine scoffs. "I've made it obvious? I have? Kurt...you..." He breaks off, swallowing down bile as he thinks back. "You broke up with me. You ended our engagement. You..."

"Yeah okay, okay, I ended it, I know," Kurt says heavily. "But I just...I don't get why you're dating the guy when you look like you'd rather be anywhere else."

Blaine laughs bitterly. There is so much he'd like to say. "Not anywhere else," he whispers as his eyes fill with tears. "One place specifically."

"Blaine."

"Kurt?"

The way he stands there, one eyebrow raised questioningly, looking so innocent and afraid, makes Kurt's heart lurch. "You know why I'm back," he says boldly, and Blaine does that thing he does, where he looks down, rubs the back of his neck and looks back up, making Kurt want to pin him up against the car and kiss him senseless.

"I do," Blaine admits, but rather than following that up with protestations about how he's moved on again, he smiles. Maybe Kurt's wrong to think this means something, to think that the way he looks forlornly and longingly at Kurt as he talks says more than words ever can.

"So?"

Blaine takes one step closer, letting his fingers gently graze against Kurt's and when he talks his voice is low. "So we'll have to see then, won't we?"

Kurt thinks that for now at least, he needs to be happy with this. It's a small, tiny step but it feels as though it's in the right direction and then comes the one thing Kurt was not expecting at all.

"I still love you."

Kurt wants a full explanation for that sentence, preferably written down for him to examine in great detail but instead he blinks, his eyes wide with surprise and gives a small nod. "I love you too."

Blaine drives away without another word but Kurt is...if not happy then certainly feeling brighter than before as he walks to his car. One tiny step has turned into one big leap and Kurt starts to think for the first time that he might just be able to do this, he might be able to win Blaine's heart.
