Chapter 1: Prologue
Blaine Anderson and Kara Hummel had been best friends from a very young age. Blaine loved spending time at the Hummel household for three reasons: 1) Kara was the only friend who stood by him when he came out to his friends, only furthering their close friendship, 2) Kara's parents, Burt and Elizabeth, were the best "second parents" a kid could ask for, and 3) Kara's older brother Kurt was the hottest guy Blaine had ever laid his eyes on.
Blaine had been smitten with Kurt since he played JV Football in the eighth grade. Blaine was in the fourth grade at the time and he dare not tell Kara about his feelings towards her older brother, but Blaine had to try with all his might to tear his eyes away from Kurt's ass in the tight lycra pants. When Kurt fave Bline a picture of him posed in his uniform, Blaine put it in a small frame and placed it right on his bedside table. Blaine knew the giving of the picture meant nothing more than the fact that Kurt was just proud of his picture and team, but Blaine vowed from that day onwards, he would do anything to have Kurt be his.
When Blaine came out to Kara, he was 14 years old and in his Freshman year of high school, and Kara couldn't have been happier for him. When Kara's family found out after dinner one night, they were surprisingly supportive and Blaine couldn't have been happier.
"I always knew." Burt credited himself.
"You did not!" Elizabeth laughed, "Don't be silly."
"What! Do you really think I would've let him sleep in the same bed with Kara all these years that he has slept over? Come on." Burt replied, ending the conversation and moving onto the next topic. Blaine really felt lucky to be accepted so quickly. While Kara, Burt, and Elizabeth were discussing Kara's Cheerio practice schedule, Blaine chanced a look over to Kurt, who had been quietly perched on a stool at the kitchen island. Blaine, who had never been nervous around Kurt, walked over cautiously to talk with the older boy. He was terrified that Kurt would be disgusted by the news and was afraid to hear what he had to say.
"So…" Blaine started, looking down at his interlocked fingers, "Your parents seemed to take that well…" He looked up at Kurt after a moment, searching for any sign of hatred, but what he found was an unreadable expression. One of curiosity or interest?
"Well," Kurt spoke after a few moments, "They've had practice with this conversation before." He then stood, walked to his bedroom and closed the door. Blaine stood at the island with an astonished look on his face. Kara came over, noted the expression and piped up.
"What's up, Blaine?"
"Is Kurt gay?"
"Uhh yeah, I found out last year, apparently he's been out for a few years now, Mom and Dad just didn't feel the need to tell me until I was older."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"I never felt the need to tell you? Why do you care? What, are you in love with him or something?" Kara laughed at her own attempt at a joke, not understanding that it was a completely true question. She then turned and walked towards her room, Blaine following suit.
Wow, he likes guys too… I wonder if he's ever thought of me… Blaine thought, walking into Kara's bedroom and crawling in bed with her. Even if he hasn't, I have to make him think of me in that way.
