Hey there. (: It's been a while, but I'm back! Welcome to my take on the iPod shuffle story drabble magic!
I think that's all that needs to be said, so, without further ado...

Islands - The Xx

Blaine had never considered himself to be an idiot. Never. The word sounded nothing but cruel and demeaning, and Blaine had always felt that he was above that, no matter what anyone else said. However, he certainly wouldn't deny that he had had more than his fair share of less-than-intelligent moments.

And sometimes? Sometimes he just screwed up.

Blaine snorted to himself as he paced around his dorm room. He'd made to sure to stress to Kurt that he was awful at romance around Valentine's Day. It was ironic really, considering that he'd realized he was completely in love with the same Kurt just a couple of hours ago. In all honesty, he'd probably loved the boy from the very start.

But sometimes, Blaine just screwed up.

A corner of his mind vaguely recognized the familiar melody of Hey Monday's "Candles" pouring out of the speakers of his dock station. A smile tugged at his lips as the chorus rolled around.

He really was beginning to see the light.

The thought quickly pulled him back to Kurt. Blaine didn't understand how he hadn't seen it sooner. Kurt Hummel was just...wow. He was funny, talented, driven, original, beautiful...

An dopey grin suddenly spread across Blaine's features. Kurt was everything that he'd spent so much time looking everywhere for. Everywhere except right in front of him. He was all of things that Blaine had always dreamed of finding in a boy.

I have to tell him.

Of course. The laughably obvious answer hit him like a ton of bricks, stopping him right in his tracks. He was in love with Kurt. Why shouldn't he tell him?

With that thought in mind, Blaine practically skipped over to his desk, a smile permanently plastered on his face. Before the day was over, Kurt Hummel would know that he'd fallen head over heels for him. The final chords of "Candles" faded into the air as Blaine quickly pulled out a notebook and a pen. He began to doodle absentmindedly, as the first feelings of doubt started to leak into his thought processes. No, he wasn't an idiot, but he had definitely been spending a significant amount of time acting like one when it came to Kurt. Maybe Kurt had given up on him. Maybe he'd had enough. Maybe -

Blaine shook his head quickly, in an attempt to banish the negative thoughts. Maybe he had a chance to redeem himself.

He stared down at the lined paper, as if all of the right words to say would magically appear if he stared long and hard enough.

Courage, Blaine.

He took a deep breath. With a shaking hand, he began to write the first lines of his unofficial "Hey, Kurt! I'm Kind Of Totally In Love With You!" speech.

Naturally, when the moment would eventually arise, he'd become a nervous mess and forget everything and anything that he'd previously planned. He would blush furiously and trip over his words and pass out in anticipation and then -

Well, then everything would be more than just fine.

Because in the end, he was Kurt's, and Kurt was his. And that was all that really mattered.
