A/N: So this is set a couple of days after 'THE KISS' but like, a few days before Regionals. Just some ramblings from a very sleep-deprived and 'insomnia-haunted' me. Again, due to this, I blame myself's inability to grasp the concept of 'IN CHARACTER' - but whatever :D So yeah...just a bit of drabble.
They weren't going to tell anyone.
They had talked about it briefly before Thad interrupted them. It was going to be tough – keeping it a secret, as Kurt had been invited to a small sleepover with Mercedes and Rachel. Blaine was invited, of course, but considering the circumstances…
Kurt laughed just thinking about it.
"Sure you won't reconsider coming to Rachel's?" Kurt asked softly as he swung his bag over his shoulder.
"Positive," he flashed a toothy grin towards Kurt, "There'd be too much temptation,"
Kurt blushed slightly. "Your loss,"
Blaine stared through him, lost in thought.
"I'll think about it. Text me?"
Kurt nodded and Blaine kissed his cheek on his way out the door. Now alone, Kurt fell into an armchair, letting out a whoosh of air. This was crazy! Everything Kurt had ever dreamed – ever wanted, just fell into his lap!
Blaine appeared in the doorway and Kurt jumped at the sound of his voice.
"You okay?" his eyebrows knitted into a concerned frown.
"Of course," Kurt grinned. "Still just taking it all in,"
Blaine nodded in understanding and perched himself on the arm of the chair, gently placing a hand on Kurt's shoulder.
"If I do turn up tonight…I don't think I'm going to be able to keep…" his eyes travelled almost hungrily over Kurt and he let out a breathy grin. "…us, a secret,"
Another blush crossed Kurt's cheeks. "But I'd want you to be there,"
"I know…" Blaine's fingers trailed gently through Kurt's fluffy bangs. "If you're okay with Rachel and Mercedes knowing…"
"Knowing what?" Kurt asked, furrowing his brow.
"That…we're a thing," Blaine thought it was obvious. "That we're dating,"
Kurt's eyes widened. "Oh…you thought this was…"
Blaine's hand dropped, his eyes resembling saucers and his face dropped.
"Blaine, oh god, I was kidding!" Kurt planted a firm kiss on his lips. "Of course this is something! And I think Rachel and Mercedes should be the first to know!"
Blaine was breathing heavily, an aftermath of his shock. "You shouldn't kid around with stuff like that. You really scared me," he whispered. "See what you do to me?"
"I wouldn't have it any other way," Kurt smiled. "Come back to mine so I can get my stuff, then we can go straight to Rachel's,"
Blaine nodded and took Kurt's hand. It was well after school hours and the few boarders would be in their dorms by now. Not that they really minded. The boys at Dalton were all very accepting, but Kurt still felt vulnerable. The two of them strolled casually down the halls, enjoying each other's company.
"How should we let the girls know?" Blaine asked, fishing for his eyes as they reached the carpark.
"I don't want to tell them outright," Kurt stood at Blaine's car, waiting patiently for the familiar 'unlock' sound. "If they catch us…" he wiggled his eyebrows suggestively at Blaine, "Then they find out,"
"I take it you don't want to be obvious about it," Blaine slid into the car, starting it as Kurt buckled his seatbelt.
Kurt smiled as Blaine's hand travelled to his thigh, where it rested comfortably, with his musician fingers traced light circles on the polyester.

"Hey guys!" Rachel greeted the two Warblers enthusiastically.
Her brief obsession with Blaine had completely blown over, and the two had become good friends. She hugged them both and led them down into the basement where Mercedes was watching TV.
"Hey Warblers!" she grinned, waving from her position on the couch.
Kurt practically pranced over to her, giving her a seated hug.
"Just dump your stuff anywhere," Rachel directed Blaine, who was hovering at the doorway.
He obliged, and after she handed him a can of soft drink, he relaxed slightly.
"Now," Rachel said, in her most authoritative voice, "Under no circumstances are we to mention Regionals! We're friends here, not competitive glee clubbers!"
The three of them nodded and settled on the couch, trying to engross themselves in MTV.
"How about we watch a movie?" Rachel suggested, noticing the bored look floating across Kurt's face.
"We always watch movies…how about a board game – I haven't played one of them for ages!" Mercedes interceded,
"Why don't we put a movie on low and play a board game at the same time?" Blaine suggested, which received enthusiastic nods from Kurt.
"Rent?" Rachel offered, with a glimpse at her DVD cabinet.
"Girl, I've seen that about a hundred times! And each one of those times have been here!" Mercedes teased, "But as long as it's low, I don't mind,"
"What are we going to play?" Blaine asked, turning to peer at Rachel's board game collection.
"Monopoly?" Kurt suggested, receiving nods around the group.
"Okay, you guys set up the game, I'll set up the DVD,"
The three worked in silence, setting up the game board while Blaine dealt out the money.
"Do you guys know how many 20s?" he asked as the familiar chords of 'Seasons of Love' blasted from the speakers – it was only the menu.
"Six," Kurt answered as Rachel turned it down.
"Man, I haven't played this game in ages," Mercedes commented, picking out the boot as her game piece.
"I haven't played since I was really little," Blaine grinned.
Rachel joined them on the floor as the opening credits for Rent started.
^.^
"Yes!" they were halfway through Rent, and well involved in the game. "Mayfair you are mine!"
Mercedes paid and collected the deed, adding it to her Park Lane.
"That's it," Blaine threw his hands up. "We're screwed,"
"Not so fast!" Kurt countered. "The four hundred almost wiped her out – she won't be getting houses anytime soon,"
"Very true," Rachel grinned.
Blaine and Kurt lay on their stomachs, Kurt's lower legs swinging absently in the air – the familiar tune of 'I'll Cover You' played. Kurt grinned, eyes off Blaine. Subtly, the older Warbler shuffled closer, managing to find Kurt's hand without the girls noticing. Enough pillows were stuffed between them that it would be hard to make them out anyway.
"Okay, I gotta use the bathroom," Mercedes announced, standing up as Rachel paused Rent. "No cheating now,"
Blaine glanced down at her meagre supply of money. "Cheat? What with?" he teased.
"I'll get some more drinks," Rachel headed to the bar, "You guys want some more coke?"
"Sure," they replied in unison.
Behind the couch, Blaine was positive they couldn't be seen from the bar. He leaned forwards and quickly kissed Kurt, springing back quickly.
"Did I just hear what I think I heard?"
The two boys froze, a classic 'deer in the headlights' moment.
"That depends on what you think you heard," Blaine regained his composure quickly as Kurt shot him a 'mock' dirty look.
"Did you guys just kiss?" she appeared on the other side of the couch, her eyes alight.
"Nah, Blaine was just smacking his lips together," Kurt supplied, receiving a confused look from Blaine.
Rachel frowned, but moved away with a grin. Blaine simply shrugged and playfully smacked his lips together, producing a sound completely different to the kiss.
"Because if you guys did kiss," Rachel continued. "I'd be totally cool with that,"
Kurt shook his head with a grin and Blaine raised his eyebrows at the younger boy.
'She guessed' Blaine mouthed, but Kurt shook his head.
'Not yet' he mouthed back.
"We know, Rachel," Kurt called, "But we weren't kissing,"
Mercedes returned and planted herself on the ground, rubbing her palms together in anticipation.
"Did anything happen while I was gone?" she asked, and Kurt and Blaine grinned secretively.
"Not at all,"
Rachel returned with four drinks on a tray, setting them down. Rachel pressed play and they continued their game, but Rachel was distracted – constantly staring at Kurt and Blaine when they passed dice, their hands barely touching. Rachel could feel the electricity from each touch, even though she was sitting a good Monopoly board away from them.
She knew something was going on.
^.^
Rent had ended four hours ago.
They were still playing.
It was well past midnight, the four of them were slightly tired, but all wanted to continue playing. Mercedes was having trouble raking up cash to pay Blaine for hotels on 'Bond Street', after landing on 'Regent Street' with hotels on it the turn before.
Blaine and Kurt were doing well for themselves – secretly sneaking each other money when one was struggling. Rachel was quietly winning – yet only had few properties. She had lucky rolls and tactical moves – ones that put her in front early on.
She had played this game a lot.
On Mercedes next turn, she landed on Kurt's 'Euston Road' with hotels on it, which sent her bankrupt.
"Damn," she grinned,
"I think it's time for sleeping," Kurt muttered, rubbing his eyes.
Resisting the temptation to kiss him right there, Blaine stood up with Rachel.
"You want help with the beds?" Blaine asked and Rachel nodded, leading him to a large storage cupboard.
Mercedes and Kurt started packing up the game as Blaine dragged the biggest mattress over, while Rachel moved the couches. He pulled over three more, and they quickly assigned themselves places – Mercedes, Rachel and then Blaine and Kurt.
They changed and brushed their teeth in silence, too tired to form any conversations that require depth. Blaine and Kurt acted the part, mutually planning to stay up to talk. They settled into their respectable sleeping bags, and Rachel turned off the light without so much as a goodnight.
"Well…goodnight then," Blaine called, which prompted the others with their goodnights.
His eyes adjusting slowly, Blaine rolled onto his side, peering at Kurt in the darkness. They both looked at each other, not needing to talk to be able to communicate.
What they had was special – Blaine had only thought he knew love with Jeremiah…but this was something unexperienced and surprising. They were naïve and excited to be able to share it with each other, and neither would've changed the circumstances for the world.
Half an hour later, Rachel and Mercedes were definitely asleep.
"Kurt," Blaine hissed in the darkness, and the younger boy whispered a reply. "I'm glad I decided to come,"
"Me too,"
Blaine said something which Kurt didn't quite catch.
"I didn't hear you,"
Blaine moved forward, propping himself up on one elbow so he was practically eating Kurt's ear.
"I asked if you were warm enough?"
Kurt laughed as Blaine's breath tickled his neck. "I'm fine,"
Blaine gently nipped Kurt's ear with his teeth – so subtle that Kurt wouldn't have caught it if he wasn't completely obsessed and aware of all his boyfriend's actions.
"Not here," Kurt muttered, "Not with the girls so close,"
"What's wrong with them knowing?" Blaine asked, using the arm that wasn't supporting him to caress Kurt's face gently, tipping his face up to kiss him.
Slightly carried away, Kurt deepened the kiss, tasting a mixture of Coke and Mountain Dew on Blaine's lips. Blaine sucked Kurt's lower lip, a low moan emitting from the younger boy. Kurt pressed against him gently, inviting him to deepen the kiss further. They eventually parted, breathing heavily as they tried to conceal it, their foreheads pressed together.
"What happened…?" Blaine panted. "To it being 'not here'?"
Kurt grinned. "You're too delicious to resist."
Mercedes stirred, causing them to jump back simultaneously.
"You don't want them to find out?"
Kurt sighed. "I don't know. I thought I did…?"
"Are you afraid?"
"Not really. I love them, and they know me…I just want it to be our secret…"
Blaine kissed him again, a small peck.
"You're so god damn adorable."
A/N: Not sure if it's a oneshot or not.
