A/N: So… I kind of have nothing to do. So I'm going to write a one-shot. (: I am definitely guilty; when I read song-fics, I normally just skim over the lyrics. However, I do think that it is REALLY important to read the lyrics to the song. It intensifies the meaning of the story.
Unfortunately, i do NOT own "Even Though", Glee, Starkid, or any of that stuff. So... yeah.
Enjoy!
Kurt and Blaine were best friends since high school. The two lived together in their own apartment in New York City. They both couldn't afford their own apartments, so they agreed to split the rent on one together. Kurt liked living with Blaine, but it was very frustrating for him more often than not.
Kurt had loved Blaine since the day they met; but he never spoke up. Over the years, he watched as Blaine would date and break up with all different men. It destroyed Kurt emotionally. When Blaine got together with a guy, he would smile, but as soon and Blaine left, a tub of Ben and Jerry's and The Notebook was whipped out. When Blaine would eventually break up with the guy, Blaine would be the one sobbing over the ice cream and the corny movie, while Kurt sat there consoling his best friend. Little did Blaine know, however, that Kurt's heart had been broken many times before.
Kurt never wanted to take the risk of ruining his friendship with Blaine; he'd rather have him as a friend than as nothing at all. This, however, did take a toll on Kurt's heart. He wouldn't tell Blaine about his feelings, but he would never be with anyone else. He was saving himself for Blaine; the Blaine he THOUGHT he'd never have.
Kurt was watching something on TV when Blaine stole the remote and shut it off.
"Hey! I was watching that!" Kurt said, irritated.
"Well, now you're not." Blaine said with a smile
"There's a karaoke bar a few blocks away, and I want you to come with me. They have like… EVERY track in the world. And you've seemed kind of down lately."
Kurt mentally rolled his eyes at Blaine's last statement. Obviously he was down; he was living with his best friend that he's loved for almost 5 years now. That's not frustrating or anything.
"Fine. Just for tonight though." Kurt said with a smile. Blaine could get him to pretty much anything; he was in love with him after all.
Kurt walked to his room to get ready, throwing together a casual outfit. He walked out of his room not but ten minutes later to see Blaine waiting for him.
"Wow Kurt, you look great." Blaine said with a smile. Kurt found it amusing that Blaine could still make him blush after all these years.
Blaine locked the apartment before leading Kurt to the karaoke bar.
When the boys arrived, Blaine bought the first round of drinks and found a table for two.
"You know, it's nice Kurt. We haven't really been out together like this in a while." Blaine said, sipping on his beer
"That's because you've been moping over Nick in our hotel room for the past 2 weeks. Blaine, you really gotta not let yourself fall so fast. You just get hurt worse. You have to take it slow." Kurt said with a smile.
"You're right I guess. I have to thank you Kurt, you're always around for me when I need help. It really does mean a lot to me; I know how busy you are with school. You really are amazing Kurt, I'm so lucky to have you." Blaine said, quickly squeezing Kurt's hand
Kurt's heart fluttered at the touch; Blaine made him feel like a teenager all over again.
"It's not a big deal, that's what friends are for." Kurt said, almost bitterly. Kurt hated the words friends. He wanted MORE.
"Kurt, you shoo it off like it's not a big deal, but it is. You are the most amazing person I have ever met. And it's about time I recognize that." Blaine said, squeezing Kurt's hand again before moving to the microphone.
"Oh God.. Blaine.." Kurt mumbled
Kurt watched as Blaine told the DJ what track he wanted. He nodded as Blaine walked up to the microphone.
"This one's for Kurt." He simply said, right before the acoustic track started.
Even though I was blind before
I've realized there is so much more
And it was always deep down in the core of me
I know it now
Kurt gasped. He knew this song; it was from one of those online musicals. One about a boy realizing he was in love with his best friend. Kurt's heart skipped a beat.
Even though it seems too much to take
There's a feeling I can't seem to shake
I feel like I am reading the signs
'Cause I know that I'm comin' around
Blaine took the wireless mic off of the stand and walked over to Kurt to sing the next two lines.
I thought I wanted someone perfect as could be
When what I needed was the one who was perfect for me
Blaine ran back up to the mini stage, quickly hoisting the mic back on the stand. He never lost eye contact with Kurt, however. Blaine had finally released he had been in love with Kurt, and he was finally doing something about it. He didn't want to miss this moment.
Even though it used to seem so wrong,
I've taken you for granted far too long
I'm falling right into the denouement
And now I'm breaking ground
Even though I felt it from the start,
It's only now we're beating with one heart
I'm sure that now is the time
'Cause I know that
Blaine walked over to Kurt during the instrumental break and grabbed his hand before singing the last lines of the song.
The sun is starting to shine
'Cause I know that I'm
I'm comin' around
Blaine belted the last note of the song, looking right at Kurt, who had tears in his eyes. Blaine dropped the mic, not caring about the applause around him. He only cared about Kurt. He only EVER cared about Kurt.
"Kurt, I was an oblivious fool. I was so focused on finding someone that I never noticed the perfect person was right in front of me the whole time. Kurt, I'm in love with you. And I may have just realized it now, but my heart always knew it. I'm in love you Kurt. It was only ever you."
Kurt couldn't believe what he was hearing. Blaine was in love with him. Kurt heard a few 'awwhs' from the crowd around him, but they didn't matter. All that mattered was Blaine.
"I love you, Blaine." Kurt said, standing up from the table and pressing his lips on Blaine's.
Kurt soaked up the moment like a sponge. Both men heard clapping around them, but the noises disappeared as they melted into one other. Kurt was having a hard time believing he was kissing Blaine; the Blaine he had been kissing in his dreams in the past five years. But Kurt could really feel it this time; it was no dream. It was real.
Blaine felt everything the kiss with your soul mate should've felt like. He knew Kurt was always the one; deep down. He couldn't help but think this was the reason why it never worked out with anyone else.
The kiss was long, slow and passionate. They didn't care they were in public, surrounded by a crowded bar full of people. They had each other now; that was all that mattered to them. The two released from the kiss, staring into each other's eyes.
"It's about damn time." Kurt joked
"Better late than never." Blaine smirked, leaning in to kiss Kurt again. They released from the kiss, this one shorter than the other but not less passionate. They smiled at each other once more before locking hands and walking out of the bar, starting their new life together; beating with one heart.
A/N: Sorry for the crap ending. :( But still…. I hope you enjoyed! Review please? They're like… virtual redvines to me. Like.. what the hell can't they do?
