AN: Some drabbles for you, and a present for me of not having to complete anything over 1,000 words.
Note: I picked 1,000 as my word limit for each drabble; which, really, makes it so it's not really a drabble. I decided on this because it seemed like a good limit instead of 100 or 500 words a drabble, but most will probably will be shorter than 1,000.
Love
Kurt never felt right about putting the word love in front of his past crushes. When he said that he loved Finn it didn't really fit. He only realized later how wrong it was to put the word love in front of Finn. Finn was the guy you could count on to do half of the work; never really helping Kurt, but never intentionally hurting him either. He only stood on the sidelines and watched as his friends threw Kurt into dumpsters and knocked him into lockers. After getting over his crush on Finn he couldn't believe he ever liked him. Sure he wasn't bad looking, and sometimes he connected with Kurt on the loss of their parents. That was where it stopped though. They never really connected on anything else. While Kurt could get used to the idea of Finn being his stepbrother, he couldn't really see ever being in a relationship with Finn even though he used to dream about it.
Sam was a different story. Kurt never really crushed long on Sam. He didn't really get the chance to. Sam was cute even with his dyed hair and sad impressions of famous rock stars. Unlike Finn, he actually bothered to pay attention to Kurt when he wasn't forced to, but just like Finn was snatched from him by Rachel, Sam was snatched by Quinn. Kurt was lonely at that time but let Sam go, because the only thing worse than Sam leaving him to duet with Quinn for the competition, was Sam staying to duet with Kurt when he wanted to be with Quinn. Kurt sang his song by himself while Sam and Quinn sang a pretty little duet winning the competition. Kurt knew after Sam started making go-go eyes at Quinn that nothing would ever happen between them, but it still hurt to hear Sam say that he couldn't have asked for a better duet partner than Quinn.
Blaine showed up in his life later. Kurt wasn't expecting him at all, but they became fast friends after Blaine helped him with his problem with Karofsky. A signal in Kurt's mind told him that no boy he knew before Blaine would have ever helped him in the way Blaine had, and Blaine had just met him. Kurt didn't really know whether to be saddened or happy over this piece of information. Kurt's feelings had been growing ever since he met Blaine Anderson. Maybe it was because Blaine helped him in a way no one else could, or maybe because Blaine actually touched him without worrying about Kurt jumping him. Either way, Kurt could get used to that. He said he was in love with Blaine, like he was in love with Finn and Sam, but then Kurt realized that he wasn't. You couldn't fall in love that fast. That was something that Kurt learned that year. You couldn't fall in love that fast because you couldn't know someone that fast. When Kurt first saw Blaine's vulnerable side it was something that he had never seen from any man but his father.
When Kurt saw Blaine's vulnerable side, he knew that he still had a lot more to learn about Blaine. What made Blaine tick, what made him happy, how to make him laugh the hardest. Those were important things that Kurt was only beginning to grasp.
So Kurt devoted himself to the task of learning all about Blaine, and Blaine, well, he developed the same task for Kurt, without even realizing it. As time went on and feelings changed, and grew, between them, Kurt was pretty sure that maybe, he could also learn to love.
Sigh…I lost steam at the end there, sorry. :( Oh, well…I'll do better on the next drabble. :) Besides, I don't think this one is that bad.
