2 months ago Kurt and Blaine had decided to "take a break", and "reevaluate their priorities" after an argument. The argument was mainly about how Blaine didn't spend enough time with Kurt anymore and how he only ever performed. Blaine now sits in the last row of chairs in the chior room, staring at the back of Kurt's head. Kurt sits in the front row and follows on what Mr. Shue talks about, avoiding any form of embarrassment or chastisement. Regardless of Kurt's hopes, Mr. Shue unfortunately notices the inattentive students in front of him.
"Pay attention, guys. If we want to go to Nationals this year we have to really try. Blaine, Finn... c'mon," he says with slight irritability in his voice.
Kurt glares at Finn and barely spares a glance in Blaine's direction, then turns his attention to Mr. Shue, who continues on his lecture.
With that small look that Kurt had given Blaine was all he needed.
None of the fighting between them had made sense. The way he performed rather than spent his hours on Kurt hadn't made sense, either. But the "break" had made the least sense to him. When two people love each other, they're supposed to stay together forever, right? All Blaine knew was that when he and Kurt were together, that's what made sense.
Blaine snaps out of his thoughts when Mr. Shue clears his throat. He looks around to see the whole glee club staring at him, save for Kurt, who is turned around in his chair with crossed arms and legs.
"Sorry, Mr. Shuester...," he says quietly.
"Alright then, let's get started," Mr. Shue tells the whole class, now ready to begin the singing part of their rehearsals.
"Wait, wha-"
The beginning of another Journey song cuts him off. He catches on and joins the teenaged voices.
Soon enough afterwards, Glee ends and Blaine watches Kurt make his way to the parking lot. Seeing Kurt in his tight, white skinny jeans and a dark purple cardigan gives Blaine butterflies.
I should be over all the butterflies, Blaine thinks to himself.
He squirms slightly at the sudden sensation. Finally once Kurt reaches the vehicle, Blaine decides he should probably start moving his feet now.
Days go by, and still, Blaine can't stop thinking, daydreaming, even kind of obsessing over Kurt. He watches him from afar day after day. Memories of them dance in Blaine's gelled head.
He wipes the sweaty palms of his hands on his jeans. He really shouldn't be this nervous, It's only Kurt's step-mom. Blaine had already met the rest of Kurt's family and they were really nice to him. Kurt had reminded him that she's a really kind and accepting person and that he had nothing to worry about. He still worried. What if he said something wrong and she hated him?
He knocked at the Hummel-Hudson's door and waited anxiously. The door opens up to reveal an elated looking Kurt Hummel.
"You look amazing," Kurt breathes out.
"You do too," Blaine replies just as nervously as he had been.
Kurt seems to notice, because then he reminds him again that he isn't going to say anything bad and that they won't hate him.
Blaine nods in agreement and follows Kurt into the house. He smells a delicous meal coming from the kitchen and the faint noise of clanging metal on the stove top.
The close of the door behind him alerts Carole that Kurt's boyfriend is here. She rushes to the front of the house to see Blaine hanging his coat on the coat rack.
"Hello, Blaine.", Carole greets happily.
"Wha-uh.. Oh! Hello, Mrs. Hu...," he fades out, not knowing whether to call her Hummel or Hudson.
"Just call me Carole," she replies with a smile.
Blaine nods silently.
Carole and Kurt lead him into the dining room to see Burt going through the refridgerator vigorously. Carole clears her throat.
"What? I'm not getting a snack.. just something to drink," Burt says without removing himself from the fridge.
"Burt...," Carole answers.
"What.. Oh, Hi Blaine," he replies while closing the fridge door.
The night goes well, just as Kurt had reassured many times. The couple walks out to the driveway and Kurt reaches out for Blaine's hand and intertwines their fingers together. Blaine looks up at Kurt with a shy smile, still with those God awful butterflies as always. Kurt's eyes linger on Blaine's longer than usual.
"What?," Blaine asks with his famous goofy smile.
"I love you," Kurt blurts, looking as shocked as Blaine.
They stop walking and just stare at each other.
"You..do?," Blaine asks quietly.
Kurt nods in response.
"I love you too," Blaine says, a loving smile forming on his face.
He then leans in for a kiss and Kurt accepts it. The weight of the world falls off of Blaine's shoulders. They simply stand there, holding hands, kissing. Kurt finally pulls back and then engulfs Blaine in a hug.
"Goodnight, Blaine," Kurt whispers in Blaine's ear and pulls away.
"Goodnight, Kurt," Blaine answers.
He walks to his car and smiles brighter than he ever has. He back out of the driveway, waving goodbye to Kurt.
Kurt waves back with that same enormous grin, and Blaine drives away.
Even on their worst nights, Blaine still adored Kurt with all of his being. But now, he fears that maybe Kurt doesn't reciprocate those feelings. A warm tear falls from his eye, and he wipes it away hastily.
Blaine walks onto McKinnely's campus, dreading the fact that the weekend is about to start and he's not going to see Kurt for a whole two days. He stops at his locker, picking up the necessary books for his next few classes. He closes the locker and puts the textbooks into his satchel. He looks up, and before his brain commands his feet to move, he's frozen there in the face of none other than Kurt. The familiar butterflies buzz around in his stomach once again.
"Kurt...," he begins.
"Look, I know we had a fight and I can't say I'm sorry, because you're kind of the one who started the problem.. but," he stops his rambling and looks into Blaine's hazel eyes.
"But what, Kurt?," Blaine asks curiously.
"This Saturday, do you maybe want to go to Breadstix? I'll pay," Kurt asks with hope leaking in his voice.
"Of course I would want to go," Blaine replies as if it were obvious.
Kurt smiles.
"Very good then, I will text you the details," he says, then walks away.
I'm so into you, Blaine thinks to himself.
