Hi guys, so this is a story that I have had inspiration for since quite a long time ago, and only now I have time to write it. It's also my first fanfiction, so kinda nervous here. Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy this.
Blaine Anderson and Kurt Hummel had known each other for four years. In those long four years, texts were exchanged, birthday wishes were sent, and there were random times when they met and actually stopped to chat with each other for a little while, however, Kurt and Blaine had never managed to become what people would call "close friends". Normally, in Kurt's logic, people became close when they "click". He also knew the click came naturally and there was no meddling around to force it. His only question was that, why did the Klaine click (as he liked to call it) wait for a rotten amount of four years before showing itself?
The thing is, Kurt used to have a massive crush on Blaine, pretty much since their first meeting, when Kurt came to Dalton Academy in a McKinley-Dalton one-week student exchange program. Blaine - being the attractive responsible and gay senior guide - was the dream man Kurt has always picture in his mind. Okay, maybe his hobbitness was a bit short of his original standards (no pun intended), but overall, Blaine was pretty much his prince charming. So young and somewhat naive Kurt tried a whole bundle of things to get close to Blaine. You know those standard stuffs - stalking his Facebook, gathering intel from his fellow exchange students, eavesdropping on the Dalton boys' conversation, so on and so forth. But Kurt would also like to proudly announce that he did actually muster up enough courage to ask for Blaine's number, supposedly to keep in contact and ask for advice. Especially that last bit. When his mind was not occupied by Blaine's ever-dashing presence and his thoughts not yet swimming in those magnificent hazel eyes, Kurt had actually notice that Blaine seemed to have a lot of experience about high school gay bullying. And well, Kurt needed as much help in that field as possible, considering he was the only out gay kid in McKinley. He had the Glee Club protecting him so nothing too serious actually happened, but he was hopeful that Blaine could actually understand Kurt's problem in a way that his fellow glee clubbers were unable to.
So that was how their conversation went for the better part of four years: Blaine checking up on Kurt as a good mentor, Kurt opening up to him about the slushy facials and the rare locker slams, and the occasional chat on gay rights. Kurt was desperate to probe further and develop their relationship, however nothing seems to click. Maybe Blaine was holding back - Kurt had no ways of knowing. It could be that he had sensed Kurt (pretty obvious crush) and did not want to lead him on. Or they actually had nothing in common, as shuddering and hope dashing as it sounded.
See, that's why Kurt was fuming that the damn Klaine click appeared when he had given up all hope whatsoever on that teenage crush on Blaine, and worse - when he actually could not openly go out with Blaine as friends, in other words, becoming close friends publicly. And that was also his fault, frustratingly enough. Four whole years, he never let slip any indication that he and Blaine had been talking. People all thought the crush died when the exchange program ended. It just seemed a bit desperate to make the whole world aware that he was still pining, albeit he did have a good reason of asking Blaine for advices. And it's not like he and Blaine actually went out or anything - they were never that close - so it was pretty easy to keep his little secret. And more: something apparently went down between Rachel Berry and Blaine - believe it or not - so all of their Glee friends pegged Blaine as the Don Juan, opportunistic type that took advantage of Rachel to see if he was bi. Obviously Kurt never believed them, but he could not stand up for Blaine either, since he didn't know anything and was too scared to ask for the truth from Blaine. So, "the jerk" Blaine Anderson was on the Glee Club's black list, which made it all the more difficult for Kurt's budding secret close friendship with Blaine.
Okay, Kurt had been lying a bit about that "never believe" part. He was admittedly swayed by his friends over-passionate claims on Blaine, and the fact that his texts with Blaine were becoming sparse did nothing to help his problem. In fact, that rumor was actually the final straw for Kurt to completely give up his crush on Blaine Anderson. He became more loose - there was no need to show himself in a good light anyways - more sarcastic, and most importantly, bolder. On a fateful night when Kurt Hummel had just bought the new season Marc Jacobs and Alexander McQueen on a row on Rue La La and a bit high on couture (which is as effective as any drugs, mind you) he had a questionaire vomit on Blaine, when he asked his former crush everything and anything possible, personal or impersonal, trivial or straightaway embarrassing. Kurt still shuddered when he think of some of the questions, like, what is your favorite pokemon (Charmander)? Seriously Kurt, pokemon? Anyways, surprisingly enough, Blaine seemed enthusiastic to answer every one of those questions. Kurt supposed he must be bored or something. Regardless, that night opened up a whole other perspective on Blaine Anderson in Kurt Hummel's mind. Blaine is no longer the dapper appropriate and somewhat uptight prep boy, but someone humorous, open and had a lot of things in common with Kurt. They texted until 4pm that night, and more secrets were spilled than all the texts in four years combined, and Kurt and Blaine became closer friends. They clicked, simple as that.
After that night, Kurt was left confused. It's amazing and scary at the same time how a relationship can take a detour that fast. And as thrilling as "secret platonic dates" sounded, Kurt was not sure he could hide from his friends forever whenever Blaine invited him for coffee. Regardless, Kurt needed to take up that offer. Yes, he no longer had the crush on Blaine, but he would really love to be Blaine's close friend. He had been waiting for a long time for this moment when that door opened.
So, my first fanfiction, finally. What do you guys think?
Next up, the friendship progresses and we have a glimpse on their secret non-platonic dates, as well as Blaine's new and improved opinions on Kurt.
