One-shot 1: Time Stands Still, Beauty And All He Is.

Five months.

Five months to the day that he had broken up with Blaine. Five months since his heart was broken into pieces.

But it was more than that.

It was four months ago that he last said 'I love you' to Blaine. Three and a half since Blaine forced the choice of just being friends on him.

Three months, and ten days ago, he met Adam.

The kind, sweet man with the gentle smile that could melt Kurt in an instant. Deep blue eyes that shone with adoration for Kurt, that seemed to glow a shade lighter when they looked at him. His calm yet playful temperament that steadied Kurt's fiery personality.

Sure, maybe it wasn't the brightest idea to try and serenade Kurt with 'Baby Got Back', but he made up for it with his recent attempt.

"Time stands still, beauty in all he is." Kurt giggled as Adam sang to him. They were in the middle of class, Cassandra's class to be exact. She wanted them to practice dancing with a partner, and Adam was quick to partner up with Kurt.

"I will be brave. I will not let anything take away, what's standing in front of me." Adam picked up Kurt, twirling him once as Kurt broke into a full laugh. It was a sound he hadn't started making again until a month ago. A sound that Adam brought back, just like his singing voice.

—

They were throwing another party that night.

Kurt had no idea why Rachel decided on said party, but it was happening. People from NYADA, Vogue, some of Cassandra and Isabelle's friends, everyone was there. Even Quinn and Santana, who found their way into New York a few days ago.

Kurt was standing off to the side of the party, not really wanting to join in the fun. A year ago, he would've been cuddling with Blaine, watching Finn and Puck makes fools of themselves as they try to dance. Mike and Sam would try and help them before giving up. Santana would be off somewhere with Brittany and Tina and Mercedes would be laughing at the guys.

A month ago, it was just Kurt, Rachel, Quinn, and Santana.

Now, it was just Kurt.

The girls were moving on. Rachel had Brody, Quinn kept texting some guy back at Yale, and Santana made it no secret that she was dating another cheerleader at some college nearby. They didn't have time to spend with each other really.

"Hey, you ok?"

Not that Kurt minded it or anything. They moved on, and so did he.

"I'm just thinking." Kurt said softly, leaning against Adam as the boy came to stand next to him.

"'bout what?" Adam asked.

"High School days."

Adam chuckled. "I remember those. Always getting into trouble, breaking curfew, glee club."

Kurt smiled. A genuine, soft smile. Adam couldn't help but smile back. "Hey, how about we go outside for a bit? Escape the noise?"

"Sounds good to me." Kurt agreed, leading Adam out to the fire escape and very much aware of Isabelle and Brody's eyes on them. His boss had quickly become a mother figure to him over the months, and Brody was the big brother he wished Finn could've been from the start.

Adam climbed outside first, reaching back inside to pick up Kurt. He laughed at the squeak of surprise that left Kurt's mouth. "You're so cute." Adam said, putting down the countertenor and hugging him close.

Kurt sighed softly and rested his head against Adam's chest. This was something he wasn't familiar with. Blaine was shorter than him by quite a lot. He never had the chance to cuddle up to him. To rest his head on Blaine's chest like he could with Adam. To wrap him arms around Blaine's waist or bring his hands up Blaine's back to grip lightly at the soft material of his shirt. Not like he could with Adam, as they gently swayed to music only they could hear.

Adam rested his cheek on the top of Kurt's head, closing his eyes and hugging Kurt tight. After a while, he placed a light kiss in Kurt's hair, smiling softly again.

It was Adam doing all these things, Adam allowing Kurt so close, Adam slowly dancing with him on the fire escape in the chilly March air.

"I love you."

Adam, whispering those words to him.

Adam wasn't Blaine. He wasn't the Warbler that sang Teenage Dream, he wasn't the best friend who knew Kurt's coffee order, he wasn't the boyfriend who gave Kurt a ring made of gum wrappers, he wasn't the almost fiancé that surprised Kurt with roses just before he admitted to cheating.

He wasn't Blaine.

But, with a gentle kiss that they shared for what seemed like only a moment to the two of them,

"I love you too."

he was the one that Kurt wanted the most.
