By now they're halfway through the game of "Spin the Bottle" with most of them having had their turns kissing whoever the bottle had pointed at. The only ones left are Blaine, Rachel, Sam and Leo. As it's now Rachel's turn, she crawls over to it from her seated position, places a hand on it, and spins it round fast. Everyone's having a blast, laughing along with each other as the spinning bottle slows down, and gradually stops, pointing right at Blaine, who looks on in utter surprise.
"This is outstanding!" Kurt exclaims, slapping his hands against his legs as though to emphasize his excitement to see how Blaine will react to being kissed by a girl when he's currently dating Leo.
"I, Rachel Berry, am gonna rock your world Blaine Warbler," she proclaims with that glazed look on her face as she crawls over to him, grabs him by the collar and pulls him towards her, her lips latching onto his. At first Blaine looks uncomfortable, but about a second or two into the kiss, he puts his hand behind Rachel's neck as though he wants her even closer before they slowly part, looking at each other like they're the only two in the room.
There's suddenly silence in the room, everyone looking between the kissing couple and Leo, either waiting anxiously or with anticipation at what's about to happen next.
With the last two being Leo and Sam, there's no need to spin the bottle so the former no more than crawls over to where Sam's sitting, ignoring the fact that he's about to kiss his "ex-crush" right in front of Blaine, faintly hearing Santana in the background stating something about Sam's guppy lips belonging to her, and only her, but he pretty much doesn't care at this point.
When their lips connect, Leo feels something there…like how he feels when he's kissing Blaine. A connection, a spark more like, but it's over too quickly because Leo's pulling away after hearing Kurt ask Blaine where he's going. Leo turns to see Blaine hurrying as best he can over to the coat rack in an attempt to find his before he's climbing up the stairs.
"Blaine? Blaine, wait!" Leo calls out, again ignoring Santana's quip about someone being jealous, and hurries after him, being intoxicated not helping at all as he tumbles up the stairs.
It's not until they're both in Rachel's kitchen that they finally stop, Leo having grabbed Blaine by his wrist, and forcing him to turn around to look at him.
"Blaine? Blaine, please stop and talk to me!" Leo demands, not letting go as he's afraid that if he does, Blaine will walk out, and disappear from his life forever.
Blaine gives out a defeated sigh, and looks up at Leo, his eyes glossy as though he's about to burst into tears.
"You wanna talk? Okay, fine. Let's talk. Let's talk about the secret feelings you have for Sam. How every time he walks into a room, your eyes are fixated on him, like he lights up your entire world when I'm supposed to be the one to do that, and don't try to deny it because I've seen you do it several times!"
As soon as those words leave his lips, Leo slowly lets go of his wrist, stepping back a bit, his breath hitching, his heart dropping a little at such harsh words, "You…you really think that? That I'd throw what we have away just for one kiss with a guy that, yeah, I did have a crush on, but has become a very good friend of mine, like most of the group down there. Blaine, that night when we kissed outside my house, I don't know if you felt it, but I felt a spark between us. Do you think I'd be wasting both our times if I didn't feel that at all whenever you're around me?" He asks stepping closer to Blaine who gives out a sigh; nodding in understanding as Leo takes him by his hands, looking him in the eyes, and seeing them sparkle in the light.
"No," Blaine murmurs, sounding just too adorable as Leo caresses his cheek with the back of his hand, "If it makes you feel any better, whenever you walk into the room, it makes my heart skip a beat and feel like I'm on Cloud 9," Leo reassures, placing a chaste kiss on Blaine's lips, which he returns, but with a little more vigour, leaving them both a little breathless once they break away.
"And just for the record, Sam's just a friend. My crush on him ended when I found out that he's more interested in girls, hence the tongue-wrestling he was having with Santana earlier."
Blaine laughs at his joke, and they both proceed to hug each other which is suddenly interrupted by the sound of Rachel's announcement for karaoke, hearing the rest of them cheer.
"Come on, let's go back downstairs, and enjoy the rest of the party. Besides, I wanna hear you sing," Leo divulges, holding Blaine's hand and leading him towards the stairs, back down into the basement as they're greeted by a roar of cheers. Rachel approaches Blaine and announces right there and then that he's going to be her duet partner as Leo takes his seat amongst the others in order to watch them perform on that small stage.
After witnessing a surprisingly good duet of The Human League's "Don't You Want Me" by Rachel and Blaine, despite the obvious fact that they were slightly intoxicated, the rest of the night's pretty sketchy in Leo's mind…which is why he's extremely surprised to wake up the next morning, in his own bed, fully-clothed with an also fully-clothed Blaine sleeping soundly right next to him. The first thing that Leo notices is that, with the lack of hair gel, it's caused Blaine's hair to become extra curly, which he finds incredibly adorable even if his boyfriend doesn't think so.
It makes him smile. Blaine should wear less of it more often, but he's extremely self-conscious about it, and thus has to drench his hair with gel to make him feel more comfortable in public.
With the faint taste of alcohol still lingering, Leo literally stumbles out of bed, his head suddenly throbbing as though it's about to explode as he makes his way gradually towards to the conjoining bathroom in search of aspirin and toothpaste. Finding the aspirin in the cabinet above the sink, Leo takes two out of it, puts them both in his mouth before filling up an empty cup from the windowsill with cold water, and downing it in one go.
Afterwards he brushes his teeth to get rid of the horrid taste in his mouth, before rinsing his toothbrush under the tap. He doesn't rinse his mouth out because it's an actual fact proven by dentists that doing so will wash away all remnants of the toothpaste that's helping to protect his teeth.
Returning to his bedroom, he finds that Blaine's still fast asleep, but has now manoeuvred himself onto his back, a small smile as though he's in the middle of a pleasant dream.
Having a look at the clock on his bedside table, Leo can see that it's 9:38 a.m., having no doubt that his parents have already been shopping, and are now probably sorting it all out in the kitchen. He just hopes to God that they haven't a clue he'd been drinking last night. He so isn't up for a shouting match this early in the morning with a pounding headache to boot.
Not wanting to wake Blaine from his needful rest, Leo opens the curtains just a tad so there's a little light shining through, but not enough so it's in Blaine's way before leaving the room quietly and heading downstairs.
Like he predicted, his Mum and Dad are in the kitchen, sorting out which food goes where before they notice him taking a seat at the breakfast bar.
"Morning, sweetheart," his Mum greets softly, putting the cereal in the cupboard under the microwave before her gaze's upon him, her soft smile diminishing into a worried look as she asks, "Are you okay? You're looking a little pale." Her palm flat against his forehead to feel his temperature which is a little higher than usual, judging by the warm touch.
"I'm fine, Mum. Just got a little headache that's all, and yes, I've taken some aspirin for it," he answers, picking out a bowl and some cereal in the process. After filling most of the bowl with the cereal, he then takes the milk from out of the fridge, and pours it in, just enough so that the cereal's not swimming in it before putting the milk back.
Manoeuvring himself so that he's sitting facing his parents, he starts eating his cereal, not saying a word as the only sound that can be heard is the opening and closing of doors as the food and other stuff they'd bought is being put away.
"And Blaine? How's he feeling?"
"He's still asleep far as I know, and before you ask," Leo adds quickly, not giving her a chance to speak yet as he continues, "no we didn't do anything other than sleep in the same bed together, fully clothed I might add." He then returns to eating his cereal, his Mum ruffling up his already messed-up hair.
"You don't have to be a smart arse, mister. I know you wouldn't do anything like that. I'm just looking out for you like a mother should." She replies before disappearing into the garage with his Dad to help put the frozen food away into the freezers.
Once he's finished eating breakfast, he puts his spoon and dish into the dishwasher, and hurries back upstairs to his bedroom. Opening the door, he's just in time to see Blaine waking up, stretching out like a cat and yawning, his hair as wild as ever, and making him look even more adorable.
"Finally wake are we, sleepyhead. I would've made you some breakfast, but I didn't know how you'd be feeling so I left it for a bit. How are you feeling, by the way?" He asks as he takes a seat next to him by the bed, feeling his head to make sure he isn't coming down with anything. Luckily, he isn't.
"Like my head's about to explode…with you shouting at me like that," Blaine murmurs, causing Leo to smile back at him, "Nothing an egg on toast and some fruit juice can't fix," he replies, and when he sees Blaine looking back at him with furrowed eyebrows, he quickly adds, "It's supposedly an old British remedy, but it works all the same."
He then leans in to kiss Blaine on the lips, but he backs away, "Don't, I have terrible morning breath," but Leo just inches closer, "Do I look like I care?" He asks with a huge grin on his face as his lips finally captures Blaine's, both moaning from the sheer pleasure it gives them before they're backing away.
"There, that wasn't so bad now was it?"
Blaine can't help, but smile back, "No, I guess not. So, how are your parents taking the fact that I slept in your bed last night instead of the one reserved for me in the guestroom? I hope they're not pissed or anything. I don't want to be on their bad side so early in our relationship."
"Actually, they were totally fine with it…after I'd told them that we were fully clothed, and nothing out of the ordinary happened other than sleep," Leo replies, reaching out for Blaine's hand as he climbs off the bed, pulling Blaine along with him, or trying to at least as his boyfriend's still in that "Just 5 more minutes" phase.
"Come on, let me make you something to eat that I guarantee you will make you feel a whole lot better."
Blaine moans, knowing full well that he's not going back to sleep anytime soon, and gradually clambers off Leo's bed, following him groggily to the door and out into the upstairs hallway, wondering how the hell he's going to survive the weekend with this massive headache…
