Chapter 2: Baby It's Cold Outside
br
Blaine pulled into the parking lot of the towns Community Center where the Christmas Spectacular was taking place and turned his black BMW off. Through the whole car ride Kurt was feeling a little self conscience that he was the only one still in his Dalton Academy uniform while Wes and David got to wear jeans, and Blaine looking all sexy in those black dress pants and form fitting button down shirt. Kurt had to pull himself together to stop thinking about taking it off and throwing it away like it were some rag and just exploring Blaine's body with his own. Kurt hadn't said much the whole ride while thinking this and David and Wes noticed as they sat in the back of the car.
"Okay here we are boys I have to go meet Amanda back stage I'll meet you guys after the show" Wes and David bumped fists with Blaine as the got out of the car and Blaine just smiled back at Kurt with out a word and headed inside through a side door. What was he supposed to do with Kurt? He wasn't a fist bumper and it would have been weird to give him a hug or a kiss on the cheek. As much as he really wanted to. But he knew he would have gotten major shit from his friends.
"Come on Kurt we better go in before we loose a good spot." Wes suggested as he and David pulled him toward the front door. The main room was packed with people, many girls Kurt had noticed. Probably there to see Blaine perform with Amanda. The thought had Kurt a little sullen that it wasn't going to be him up there with Blaine to sing. Their voices complemented each others quite well.
The three boys forced their way through the crowd so that they were right up front to see Blaine. Kurt was just focusing right on the virgin strawberry daiquiri that Wes had gotten from the bar when he went to get them drinks. Dave and Wes were just drinking Cokes.
David laughed when he noticed that a couple of girls were eyeing Kurt from the other side of the room. He knew it, girls loved a man in a uniform. Kurt and Wes looked up from their drinks to see what David was laughing about and Dave just nudged Kurt in the arm with a wink. He knew Kurt was gay but if he could get the girls to come on over to just talk to Kurt maybe Blaine would get a little motivation to express his feelings to Kurt!
"David what do you think your doing?" asked Kurt as he looked at the girls David was calling over. With a smiled David just said, "Just trust me on this Kurt I know what I'm doing" Kurt was just confused as he opened his mouth to question David but the girls came up on either side of him.
"Hi I'm Kayla and this in Cindy what's your name?" Kayla seemed maybe a year younger then Kurt with straight blond hair and bright blue eyes. She was wearing a pair of tight dark wash jeans and a bright pink lace cami that was worn under a light olive green cotton jacket. She was cute, defiantly not Kurt's type but she had a good sense of casual fashion.
"Uhh…I'm Kurt."
"So you go to Dalton right?" asked Cindy referencing the navy blue and red trimmed jacket that Kurt wore.
Kurt just nodded trying to not really pay much attention to the girls.
"That's really cool" she giggled and got up in close to Kurt. It all seemed to planned for this girl to just start flirting with him. Kurt just had a sense that David and Wes were up to something. That was when the music started to play and the bright red curtain was being pulled to reveal a girl that Kurt hadn't known. She started to sing O Holy Night. Her voice was pretty but it wasn't as spectacular as the event suggested.
br
Blaine was back stage talking to Amanda. Wait, talking wouldn't be quite the right word to describe it. More like yelling at Amanda.
"Amanda stop being such a bitch!"
"Well Blaine…" the tone in her whinny voice was one of such disdain. "I'm sorry we can't all be as great as this Kurt person but get over it! Your singing with me and that's that."
"I never said I wanted to sing with him!" which was a total lie. Blaine totally wished Kurt was back here instead of Amanda. "I just said he's better then you!"
"OH WELL EXCUSE ME!" Amanda huffed as she pulled on her black Mary Janes. The truth was that Amanda wasn't really mad that Blaine had said Kurt was better then her. She had liked Blaine for a really long time and when he had told her that he was gay she was a little more then upset.
"Guys stop it! Your being to loud back here. Linda is still out there!" the coordinator of the event had come back to tell them with a stern whisper. Blaine sighed and clipped the bridge of his nose with his fingers. The headache was coming on back.
"Look Amanda…" Blaine started as he peeked out the back black curtain upstage and stopped. He had searched the crowd of people in an attempt to find his friends and had noticed Kurt and some girls? That one girl was all over Kurt! Who did she think she was!
"Blaine…?" Amanda asked as she came up beside him to see what he was looking at. With a giggle she pulled them both back before the coordinator came back to stop them. She crossed her arms and just gave Blaine a smug look.
"Guess he doesn't feel the same way huh?" It was cruel she knew but she didn't care, he had hurt her heart too. Blaine tried to play it cool though. "What are you talking about? I never said I liked him?"
"You didn't have to" Amanda had actually said this with a concerning whisper that made Blaine really think about his feelings. It had only been a few hours since he had heard Kurt said that he loved him. Maybe it wasn't love that Blaine felt, not yet at least but Blaine had to admit to himself that he really liked Kurt. Seeing him out there, with those girls had made Blaine jealous and that it should be him all over Kurt and not that girl. Blaine was always waiting for Kurt after his classes ended to walk him to the next one because he liked spending so much time with Kurt. When they went bowling he dropped a few games to make Kurt feel like he was special, which he was. Lastly, Blaine woke up in the morning excited to start the day and always made sure he was looking his best for Warbler rehearsal because Kurt would be there.
Blaine grumbled and his head hit his hands as he sat down on a stool in back. He was so confused, what was he supposed to do about this! Did he tell Kurt he liked him too? Were they ready to get into a relationship? What if it didn't work out? The whole reason Kurt had come to Dalton was because he felt like he had friends he could relate too and he was safe there. Blaine was Kurt's best friend at Dalton, who would Kurt go to when he had problems or questions? Blaine didn't know if he could do this to their friendship.
"Blaine…Amanda you guys are up break a leg!" the coordinator gave them a thumbs up and walked back to her sound board to begin the opening notes to Baby It's Cold Outside. Amanda and Blaine took their position on the stage, Blaine on stage right and Amanda stage left. The crowd was cheering as Linda smiled her way off stage and gave Blaine and Amanda a wink when the curtain began to rise for them. Instantly Blaine's show face was bright and defiantly seemed as if it were filled with holiday cheer.

Not for the duet couple but for Blaine. He was simply spectacular just like the event suggested. He didn't want to be vain but Blaine had been right about Amanda, Kurt would have been so much better then her. She sort of reminded Kurt of a less talented version of Rachel. He didn't know her personality but the way she was dressed in a red and green plaid tweed skirt, a frumpy red sweater with white cotton knee highs, and the black Mary Janes was dead on.
It was as if Blaine and Kurt were the only ones in the room and it was hard to not notice it from the outside. Blaine kept looking at Kurt needing the approval he was hoping for and Kurt kept looking up at him, his big smile beaming, and his palms sore from how hard he had been clapping. On the outside the whole audience had erupted into applause not likely for Amanda because there were people calling Blaine's name and woo-hooing.
"Thank you everybody! Up next will be Denny Jones singing Up on the Housetop." Blaine explained as he and Amanda both walked off stage right. Kurt finally calmed down and gracefully spun around to talk to David and Wes about the performance. Cupping his hands as he normally does when he begins an explanation he began to open his mouth to talk when Blaine came waltzing out from backstage, his hands in his pockets all smug.
"Sooo whatcha guys think?" Blaine asked, a huge smile on his face. But it had seemed that his question was more addressed to David and Wes then to Kurt. He also had noticed the too girls that were still standing around Kurt. They had now all their attention on Blaine as if he were Zach Effron or something.
"You were so good!" Kayla giggled as she nodded to her friend and they giggled together.
"Um…and may I ask who you guys are?" Blaine asked, his eye brow raised in question.
Excited Kayla responded with their introductions.
"Well I don't mean to be rude but do you mind leaving my friends and I it's kind of a guys night?" Blaine smiled his devilish charming smile and the girls just melted to the floor right there and vanished.
Kurt couldn't help but noticed and felt a tinge of jealousy.
"Annnnyway yeah, Dude you were amazing as always." Wes complimented and went to fist bump his friend.
"Yeah you were really good, Amanda not so much but what did you expect?" he chuckled as he looked at Kurt, "What did you think Kurt?"
Kurt beamed up at Blaine forgetting about the girls in that one instant his hands still cupped and went up on his tiptoes as he normally did when he was excited about something. "You were absolutely amazing Blaine really, Frank Loesser would be proud."
Blaine just nodded with a look of indifference and the notion had Kurt taken aback. Wes and David just gave each other a look and back to Blaine making eye contact. They had been friends so long that it was if they could read each others minds.
D: What's up dude? Why the tone at Kurt?
B: I don't know what your talking about.
W: You know exactly. You like Kurt it is so obvious.
B: I don't like Kurt were just friends.
D: Yeah really good friends that do everything together and already act like their dating.
B: Guy's just stop it, stay out of my business.
The look of annoyance on Blaine's face was apparent and Kurt couldn't help but feel like he did something to gain the disapproving look from his friend and crush.
"Let's just go, we have an early Warblers practice tomorrow morning." Blaine explained as he stepped to the front of their little pack and headed out to the car. It had started to snow while they were inside and it was unbelievably cold, even for Ohio. This was one of those moments that Kurt wished he had a boyfriend. Someone to cuddle up with under their arm and jacket. Someone to stand with under a streetlamp and kiss like in some cliché romance movie set in New York City.
But nothing of that thought had happened and Kurt was walking all by himself holding his arms close to keep him warm on the way to the car.
br
But oh how Blaine wanted to walk over next to Kurt, collect him in his embrace and just keep him warm and kiss him. Damn these thoughts! He shouldn't be thinking about Kurt like this. It was wrong and he really didn't want to ruin their friendship. It meant too much to Blaine to do that to Kurt. Besides Kurt's never had a boyfriend, he doesn't know was love is. Yeah that's it.
But Blaine was just making excuses now. Something to justify his decision. He wouldn't…couldn't! hurt Kurt.
br
When they neared the car Blaine hit the automatic unlock button on his key ring and all the boys piled in. Kurt in front and David and Wes in back.
The car ride home was a quite one, well at least in the front of the car. David and Wes could have probably been heard from the school already they were so loud.
When they got inside the school and they stood inside the Entrance Hall, Wes and David said their good byes and headed down the East hall.
"Well good night Kurt I'll see you tomorrow morning." the tone used was not one of excitement to see him tomorrow morning like it normally was. It was just yeah okay I'll see ya whatever. Blaine began to turn when Kurt stopped him.
"Hey Blaine wait…" Blaine stopped and pivoted back on his right heel. "I need to get my History book back from your room. I still need to finish some stuff up with it. Blaine just nodded with out a word and motioned Kurt to follow.
The two boys headed down the opposite hall that Wes and David had exited through and walked in silence. Blaine's hands were sitting in his pockets and Kurt walked a foot or two behind as if they were an old Asian couple.
Blaine unlocked the door and led them inside, closing the door when Kurt entered. Kurt should have been feeling giddy. It was just him and Blaine in Blaine's room, just the two of them, alone, with no interruptions. But that wasn't the emotion that Kurt was feeling. There was tension in the room, so thick you could cut a square out of it.
Kurt headed over to Blaine's bed and had to dig under Blaine's clothes in order to find it. All Kurt could do was stare at his book in silence, anything to keep himself there one more second longer.
"You got everything then?" Blaine asked, he was standing in the middle of the room his hands in his pockets as if waiting.
Was Blaine really trying so desperately to get rid of him?
"Blaine?" Kurt asked with a hint of concern and nervousness.
"What's up?"
Kurt had to sit down in order to continue. The bed was firm under his body, Kurt had expected as much.
Blaine blinked when Kurt sat down. Was he going to confront him? Blaine may have been an amazing singer but actor he was not.
"Did I do or say something to upset you? Did you not want me to go with you and your friends tonight?" he looked up crossing his right leg over the left and his book slid next to him back on the bed.
Shit, Blaine knew there was something. What was he going to say?
"No no not at all. Why do you ask?" Blaine just smiled his room brightening smile hoping it would melt Kurt. Which it did but that didn't stop Kurt to keep going.
"Well you've been acting like you've been trying to push me away all night. Are we still friends?" Kurt looked so broken and it was all Blaine's fault. No matter what he did here he was going to hurt Kurt. He couldn't keep up this poor act.
With a long sigh Blaine walked over to Kurt and sat down next to him on the bed. He placed a hand on Kurt's knee and looked at him with a serious expression on his face.
"Kurt I'm so sorry about tonight. I've just had a lot on my mind." he paused, should he tell Kurt what he heard earlier that evening? He didn't want to lie to him.
"I have to tell you something.." Blaine stood and leaned against the wall next to the bed. "I heard what you told your teacher when I was leaving the choir room this afternoon. That you love me? Or sorry that you're in love with me."
Blaine looked down, his hands back in his pockets. His nerves were shot and he felt like his heart was going to explode. They had to talk about this though it was only right.
If Kurt's expression was only sullen it had now fallen into surprise and horror. He heard! He wasn't supposed to hear that! This wasn't how Kurt had imagined the two of them confessing their love to each other.
His image was one much more romantic then this. Maybe they were at Breadsticks, and finished a wonderful meal that didn't consist of any garlic or onion products on either end. Then when it was all over they would take a walk down the street to just talk. Blaine would slowly grab Kurt's hand in his own and then when they came to a bench Blaine was going to sit Kurt down and then, only THEN were they going to tell each other how much they cared for each other followed by a soft sweet first kiss.
The picture was perfect in Kurt's mind. This was surely not it. "Um…well…I…" Kurt couldn't muster an explanation he felt so defeated and embarrassed. He totally just ruined their friendship forever. The only boy that Kurt could confined in. He was going to be alone at Dalton Academy with no one to really talk to or hang out with.
"Kurt stop it's okay." Blaine sighed. This was it, was he going to tell Kurt that they should stay friends? Did Blaine really want that?
"I….I…" Blaine wasn't usually the one to stutter he was always so confident in what he was going to say to people. "I like you too." Kurt's expression was still down. Only like? Kurt said love the meanings were so different.
"Wait! Before you get upset. I only say like and really I mean like like, because love is such a strong word. When I say that word I absolutely want to make sure I mean it. Love is a really strong word and I don't want to throw it around like it means nothing. Understand?" Blaine had started to smile now. This was such a huge weight lifted off his shoulders. Blaine now was sitting back down and was grabbing Kurt's hands in his own.
"I was trying to seem indifferent to you because I didn't want this to ruin our friendship. You in my life means a whole lot to me and I know you need me." Blaine couldn't help but smirk a little. Kurt thought Blaine could be really smug sometimes but he was right. Kurt really did need Blaine.
"To tell you the truth I was kind of lying to myself about how I feel about you. I hadn't really thought about it until I heard what you said. About how you feel. When I look back on it now, I remember the sparks and moments we've shared. When we first met. You were just adorable Kurt, such a horrible spy." Kurt started to blush as Blaine talked. "When I let you win our first game of bowling,"
"I knew you let me win!" exclaimed Kurt and he popped a little on the bed. Blaine chuckled.
"Wait let me finish, the biggest indication to myself that I liked you was this afternoon." It was Blaine's turn to blush now.
"I didn't really need to rehearse that last time today. I came looking for you because I just wanted to sing that song with you. Also…, after we finished I had a thought that I wanted to kiss you." when saying the last line Blaine was hesitant was it smart to tell Kurt that?
Kurt couldn't believe what his small little ears were hearing. Kurt knew there was a moment after they finished singing but Mr. Shuster had to come in and ruin it.
"Oh wow Blaine…" Kurt was fully red in the face now. He truly didn't know what to say about what he heard.
"I was scared to say something because of the whole ruining our friendship thing. But when I think about it. I don't want any regrets. I don't want to look back and wonder what if? I Haven't really felt so strongly about anyone before you and so why not?" Blaine smiled at Kurt and lifted his tiny feminine chin up to look at him.
"Why not what?" Kurt was being coy. This whole situation seemed so surreal to him and he was just waiting to wake up back in his basement room, home with Finn, dad, and Carol.
"Do you think we should give this a try?" Blaine asked indicating the empty space between them. Kurt looked up and fixed his posture.
"Of course I'm going to say yes Blaine!" Kurt couldn't help feeling as excited as he did. This was a boy that Kurt loved and his feelings were actually being repaid back.
"But! One condition." Kurt was now confused. "I don't want us to use the word love just yet. It's too soon and I don't want to throw it around. When we say it I want it to actually mean something. I think if we use it so soon and something happens to us it's going to make everything so much harder and I don't want that for us Kurt.
Kurt couldn't help but melt. Even when confessing his feelings Blaine was still all business and mentoring. That was something Kurt was going to have to fix. It had to be something Blaine picked up being in the Warblers for so long. They were all so synchronized and uniform, almost a little robotic with their charm and charisma attached. Kurt needed to loosen not only Blaine up but also the rest of the Warblers.
"I understand Blaine." Kurt laughed he could deal with that condition. He also wanted that moment that he had pictured of them confessing their feelings for each other.
"Good, then with that settled I'm going to do something that I wanted to do earlier today." Blaine just grinned as Kurt blinked. Before Kurt could respond, Blaine's soft lips were stroking over Kurt's own. It was so gentle thought Kurt. It was nothing at all like Karofsky's kiss in the locker room. That was just filled with confusion and lust, hunger. No, this was different. Blaine's kiss was filled with heart felt compassion and longing. It was a dream kiss. This was what a kiss was supposed to feel like.
Blaine brought a shaky hand up to cup under Kurt's chin and he scooted closer to get better access to Kurt's lips. He kept the kiss soft and gently, careful to not push anything. He didn't want to scare Kurt. It was way better then he had pictured in the choir room.
When he pulled away he made sure to keep eye contact with Kurt and he smiled. Kurt's cheeks were as red as roses and his lips were a slightly darker shade of pink. "Wow…" it was all Kurt could say. Normally he was more vocal but he was still waiting to wake up. His heart was filled with butterflies he thought he might upchuck all over the floor or even maybe on Blaine.
"I'm glad you enjoyed it." Blaine laughed and stood pulling Kurt up with him and grabbing Kurt's book.
"So what does this mean exactly?" asked Kurt taking his offered text book.
"I'm not exactly sure, I don't know if boyfriend would be the right word yet. How about other? We would still be together, just you and me without that word we talked about." Blaine smiled but Kurt just gave him a look of what the hell?
"Blaine it sounds like your describing a boyfriend girlfriend relationship or I guess in this case boyfriend boyfriend relationship."
"Yeah I guess your right" they both chuckled. This felt so much better then at the community center. All the awkward tension was gone now.
"Well then "boyfriend"" Blaine commented with an emphasis on the word boyfriend. It just sounded so right when directed at Kurt.
"Yes "boyfriend?"" replied Kurt with that same emphasis on the word.
"I'll see you at practice tomorrow?" there was that excitement and hopefulness that was there before.
"Of course I wouldn't miss it" Kurt was a little disappointed. He didn't want to leave. How was he going to concentrate on his studies now when the boy of his dreams just kissed him and he was now in a real relationship with a real boy? It just wasn't fair and Kurt wanted to whine about it.
"Good night then Kurt" Blaine ended with a smile and a small kiss on the cheek. The butterflies were driving Blaine crazy from the inside. He hated seeing Kurt leave. But it wouldn't be smart to let him stay. It was too soon.
"Night Blaine" laughed Kurt and he skipped down the hall heading to his own room.
