The Life and Times of Kurt Hummel
Season 2, Episode 4: FIRSTS
4/22- When Kurt hears about Finn and Rachel's plans for their 'first time' he admits his worries to Blaine. The two boys decide they're ready for their first time, but an argument may hinder their plans. Meanwhile, Emma has similar worries.
Kurt was sat in his room typing out yet another English essay that was due in the next day when his phone rang. He answered, surprised by who was calling.
"Puck?"
"Hey, dude. I just heard about an English essay that's due in tomorrow..." Puck began.
"I'll e-mail you mine when I'm done. Again."
"You're the best, Kurt! And don't worry; I'll remember to swap some words around this time!"
Puck hung up and Kurt smiled at the picture of Blaine on his screen before putting his phone down next to him. He carried on typing thoroughly before a thought came to his mind.
'Wow, I'm thirsty.'
Kurt walked down the stairs and approached the kitchen when he stopped at the sound of two voices coming from the living room. He recognised the voices as those of Finn and Rachel.
"I'm sorry I said I wanted to get it over with, that was a poor choice of words." Rachel said. Kurt wondered what she was talking about.
"It kinda was." Finn replied.
"Finn, I love you. You're my soul mate; I know you are. I want our first time to be special and it will be special, and I'm not rushing into things...I am ready." Rachel said.
"...Seriously?" Finn whispered.
"Of course." Rachel replied.
There was silence afterwards, so Kurt assumed the two were kissing. Thoughts ran through Kurt's head faster than ever.
'FINN AND RACHEL! OH MY GOD! THEY'RE GONNA...'
'I can't believe my friends are gonna share their first time...'
'When will I have my first time?'
As soon as Kurt thought of that as he entered the kitchen, he stopped.
-THE LIFE AND TIMES OF KURT HUMMEL-
Blaine was dancing in his room with Kurt on his bed, staring into space.
"Kurt, what's wrong?" Blaine asked. It took a while for Kurt to notice Blaine.
"Sorry, what did you say?"
"Last night you were all 'let's go round your house tomorrow after school and rehearse the dance for Glee club' and so far I'm the only one who's done some dancing. What's wrong?" Blaine explained.
"...Do you think I'm...interesting?" Kurt asked.
"Kurt, you are by far the most interesting kid in Ohio." Blaine said and continued dancing. Kurt awkwardly picked up one of Blaine's boxing trophies and threw it about in his hands.
"No, I mean...sexually."
Blaine stopped and looked at his boyfriend, expecting him to laugh at the joke he'd made.
'Oh, he's serious.' Blaine thought.
"Oh." Blaine said.
"OH?" Kurt asked, looking offended as if Blaine was shocked that he could think about him sexually.
"No, come on! Not like that!" Blaine said, sitting on his bed and taking Kurt's hands.
"Kurt, everyone has their time when they're comfortable to be that intimate with someone. If both people in a relationship aren't ready, then there's no point in thinking about it. I love you, Kurt, and I am very attracted to you. Someday, I know, there'll be a time when we're both ready and I am so cool with waiting for you to be where I am. I don't wanna push you. Whenever you're ready, I'll be there." Blaine explained. Kurt stared at him.
"Blaine, I am ready. That's why I asked you about it." Kurt said. Blaine froze.
"...Oh, well...so am I."
The two boys sat in silence for a minute or two.
"...Have you ever...?" Kurt asked.
"NO! God, no! I mean, there was this one guy at my gym last year who I got talking to and he was quite attractive and I was considering...you know...but then..." Blaine began.
"What?" Kurt asked.
"Then...I realised I was in love with you. I blanked him and haven't seen him since. Maybe things would've been different, but after that whole thing with Adam last year I found out you were a virgin to. I wanted to save myself for you just in case." Blaine finished, blushing.
"I love you so much, Blaine Anderson." Kurt said.
"I love you to, Kurt Hummel." Blaine said back and kissed him.
"So...should we talk about, you know...when, where...?" Kurt asked. Blaine nodded.
"Yep, but one thing first."
"What?" Kurt asked.
"...Dance with me."
Blaine was at in the auditorium, thinking about his conversation with Kurt the night before as he sang along to the song the band was playing.
"She's all laid up in bed with a broken heart, Trying to make it work but man these times are hard, She needs me now but I can't seem to find the time, Trying to make it work but man these times are hard But we're gonna start by
While I'm drinking jack all alone in my local bar,
And we don't know how,
How we got into this mad situation,
Only doing things out of frustration

And we don't know how,
How we got into this mess
Is it god's test?
Someone help us 'cause we're doing our best,
Drinking old cheap bottles of wine,
Sit talking up all night,
Saying things we haven't for a while
A while, yeah,
We're smiling but we're close to tears,
Even after all these years,
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting for the first time
Oooooo

With her head held high (high)
While I just lost my job but
Didn't lose my pride
How we're gonna make it work when it hurts,
When you pick yourself up,
You get kicked to the dirt,
Man, these times are hard,
Drinking old cheap bottles of wine,
Sit talking up all night,
Doing things we haven't for a while,
A while yeah,
We're smiling but we're close to tears,
Even after all these years,
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting for the first time.
Oooooo
Oooooo
Yeah... Ooooo, yeah, for the first time Oh these times are hard,
Drinking old cheap bottles of wine,
Sit talking up all night,
Saying things we haven't for a while,
We're smiling but we're close to tears,
Even after all these years,
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting for the first time
Ooooo, oh, for the first time,
Yeah for the first time,

Yeah, they're making us crazy

Oh these times are hard,
Yeah, they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me baby
Oh these times are hard,
Yeah, they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me baby."
The song ended and Blaine jumped at the sound of a small applause from the corner of the room, coming from Emma.
"That was very good; I heard you as I walked by and I was drawn in. Lovely." Emma said.
"Thanks, Miss Pillsbury...actually, can I talk to you?" Blaine asked.
"Sure." Emma replied and joined Blaine on the stage.
"The thing is...me and Kurt want to, you know..." Blaine said awkwardly.
"I know what?" Emma asked.
"...Have our first time." Blaine said.
"First time doing what?" Emma asked.
"...Sex." Blaine whispered. Emma shuddered and her heart started beating fast.
"...Oh, okay. Wow. Aren't you too young?" Emma asked. Blaine shook his head.
"Wow, well...you'll be fine. This is something to sort out yourselves okay bye!" Emma said quickly before running out, leaving Blaine bewildered.
Will came home to find a squeaky clean apartment.
"Emma?"
"Hi! How was detention duty?" Emma asked.
"Great...have you stopped cleaning since you got home?" Will asked.
"Um...well, yes. I did a gentle sweep of the toilet an hour ago. Not a clean, just a gentle sweep. A gentle sweep." Emma said.
"What's wrong?" Will asked, concerned.
"...Oh, okay. The thing is, a student asked me about getting down and dirty today because they wanted advice on their first time and I just panicked and ran out because I don't have the first clue about it and I want to know and I want my first time to be with you but I don't think I'm ready yet and-"
"Woah, Emma! Relax! Listen to me, I love you. I will love you no matter if you're ready for something or not. The day will come when you will be ready and it will be so worth the wait. Until then, I will love you just as much as I always have, because you'll still be being you. And that was the woman I fell in love with." Will said gently.
Emma suddenly seemed much calmer as she stared into Will's eyes.
"Okay?" Will asked.
"Okay." Emma whispered with a nod. Will kissed her and sat on the couch. Emma, with a sigh of relief, quickly scrubbed the table with her toothbrush before taking off her yellow gloves.
Kurt and Blaine walked out of the cinema hand in hand after a late night showing. Blaine held the remaining popcorn in his other hand as Kurt used his free hand to eat what remained.
"That was a great film." Blaine said. Kurt nodded, his mouth full of popcorn. Blaine laughed. Kurt finished eating the popcorn and Blaine threw the tub in the bin as the two boys continued walking down the street.
"What if someone sees us walking hand in hand; they could tell Adam. He's odd enough at the moment as he is." Kurt said.
"Then, we'll deny it was us as it was too dark for anyone to recognise us." Blaine said.
"So, have you given any more thought about it, you know...our special night?" Kurt asked.
"Uh, yeah. It's all I have been thinking about, if I'm honest. I tried to get help from Miss Pillsbury but she just ran off for some reason, but-"
"-Wait, Miss Pillsbury? You told Miss Pillsbury?" Kurt asked, slightly angry.
"Well, yeah. She's a guidance counselor, who else would I ask for help?" Blaine asked.
"We don't need any help, Blaine." Kurt said bluntly.
"I think we do. We're an unusual couple." Blaine said.
"Oh, you mean it's odd that you would be with me?" Kurt asked, angrier than before.
"No, that's NOT what I'm saying." Blaine said, letting go of Kurt's hand.
"Isn't it? Because you don't seem too keen to talk about this." Kurt snapped.
"Why are you getting so angry about this? Of course I'm keen, don't be so childish about this." Blaine said.
"Oh, I'M the one who's childish? Says the one who instead of having an adult conversation wanted to dance in his bedroom!" Kurt said loudly.
"Well I'm SO SORRY if you don't like me being romantic!" Blaine shouted.
"Of course I want you to be romantic Blaine, but I also want to be intimate with you yet I'm getting the vibe that you don't! Are you just too scared to sleep with me Blaine, is that it? In case this turns out to be ONE BIG MISTAKE?" Kurt screamed. Blaine was stunned to silence.
"...Don't you dare. Don't you DARE suggest that we are a MISTAKE! I bloody love you, Kurt Hummel, and I do want to be intimate with you, but you've made all of this into a big deal when all I did was ask someone for help because I want our first time to be special! I'm putting all this effort into this for you, and you dare say that I'm doing that because I want to AVOID going to the next step of our relationship?" Blaine asked. Kurt went to speak.
"No, I'm not done!" Blaine snapped. Tears were filling his eyes as he started to choke on his words.
"Last year was heaven and hell for me, Kurt. At the start of the year I had a best friend, no family and a secret that was eating me alive. Then, my 'best friend' spilled my secret and practically ruined my life and it was HELL. But you know why I got through it? YOU. You were my heaven, you still are my heaven! And seeing you with Adam for all that time killed me, it really killed me. But I coped because I knew at least you were happy. I always wanted to be Adam just to feel what it was like to be loved by you, and it turns out I didn't need to be Adam and soon enough you were mine. By the end of the year I had lost my best friend, still had no family and had been outed, but I had YOU. And that was enough. You are all I need to get by. And I love you so much I can't describe it. Things have been going so well I've been pinching myself every day just in case I happen to wake up from this dream I've been having. But I'm standing here and it's turning into a nightmare and I just can't...I don't...want you to...slip away." Blaine poured his heart out and as tears fell he turned and walked away. Kurt shed a tear and walked after Blaine.
"Blaine, wait! Please!"
"Don't Kurt! Just, DON'T!"
And soon Blaine disappeared into the dark. Kurt was silent as he walked home. He walked in his house and went straight to his room. Kurt prepared himself for sleep as normal, pretending nothing had happened; he'd just had another great date with Blaine, as always. It was when he was finished that the sad feelings came rushing back. Kurt sat in his bed and cried.
The next day, Kurt was sat in the auditorium after school to get away from everything and quietly sang to himself.
"Only you, you're the only thing I'll see forever
In my eyes in my words and in everything I do
Nothing else but you
Ever."
Kurt raised his head at the sound of Blaine's beautiful voice. "And there's nothing for me but Maria
Every sight that I see is Maria."
Kurt sang once more.
"Tony, Tony."
Blaine sang again.
"Always you, every thought I'll ever know
Everywhere I go you'll be..."The two boys sang together as Blaine joined Kurt on stage.
"All the world is only you and me."
Kurt grew teary as he sang the next section.
"Tonight, tonight Tonight, tonight
It all began tonight
I saw you and the world went away
There's only you tonight
What you are, what you do, what you say."
Blaine shared Kurt's tears as he sang.
"Today, all day I had the feeling
A miracle would happen
I know now I was right."
The two boys sang together and joined hands.
"For here you are Tonight, tonight Tonight, tonight Today, the world was just an address But here you are Good night, good night
And what was just a world is a star
Tonight
The world is full of light
With suns and moons all over the place
The world is wild and bright
Going mad
Shooting sparks into space
A place for me to live in
No better than all right
And what was just a world is a star
Tonight
Sleep well and when you dream
Dream of me
Tonight."
The song ended and immediately after Kurt and Blaine's lips found each other. They parted before Kurt grabbed Blaine's shirt and pulled him in for another kiss. They rested their foreheads together when they broke apart.
"I'm so sorry." Kurt whispered as a tear rolled down his cheek.
"No, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have gone on at you like that. I had no right." Blaine said.
"You had every right." Kurt whispered and stepped back from Blaine, looking him in the eyes.
"Don't cry you moron, you'll set me off." Blaine said jokingly and wiped the tear off of Kurt's face.
"I didn't sleep a wink last night." Kurt admitted.
"Neither did I. I just sat there and cried." Blaine said.
"I thought we were broken up." Kurt said, quivering slightly and growing teary again. Blaine pulled him into a hug.
"I will never break up with you." Blaine whispered.
"I'm never saying goodbye to you." Kurt whispered back.
"It was such a stupid fight. All over one thing." Blaine said.
"I want our first time to be perfect." Kurt said.
"So do I. But it could only ever be perfect, you know why? Because it would just be you and me. Our first time was always going to be perfect because we were together." Blaine said.
"You're right." Kurt said and kissed his boyfriend again.
"I love you." Kurt whispered.
"I love you." Blaine replied. The boys wiped the tears from their faces and held hands.
"So, shall we go to Breadstix, or a movie, or the mall?" Blaine asked.
"I know the perfect place to go." Kurt said.
"Where?"
"...Your house."
The two boys looked into each other's eyes and smiled.
Kurt was lying on Blaine's bed as Blaine took off his jacket. The two boys began kissing as they got under the covers and linked their fingers together. Blaine rubbed his nose against Kurt's and smiled.
"You and me." Blaine whispered.
"Always." Kurt replied.
It was their first time. And it was perfect.
NEXT TIME…
"So, which musical is the best?"
Kurt and Finn stared at the adults in disbelief.
"Beauty school dropout…"
Those were the words neither of the boys ever wanted to hear.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Wow, this is a LONG episode! I hope you enjoyed it as well as all of the season so far. I'm very proud of this episode (it's probably my favourite) but I did find it hard to right. I actually did a bit of research for this as I found it difficult to write, but I felt I needed to develop Kurt and Blaine more as characters and not make them the perfect couple that never fights. Please review though guys, as I love getting reviews and this hasn't got any yet, which makes me sad :( I'm starting a rule that says if any season gets more reviews than the previous one, I'll almost certainly do another season e.g. If this season gets more reviews than season one by the time it's over, I'll definitely do a third season!
