Hey guys, so here's Chapter 4! I just watched the Whitney Houston episode and it was AMAZING! Klaine scenes were so dramatic and... hell w/ you, Chandler.

This story is FAR from over and so please review it and hope y'all enjoy this chapter too.
Chapter 4: It Takes Two to Make a Relationship
It's been two months since Kurt and Blaine had their first kiss together. In fact, it also commemorated their second and third kisses ever and that fact made Kurt giggle as he yawned, struggling to get up from bed. It was a Monday and he hated waking up in the morning because that is when gravity always overpowered him, pulling back down to bed. But it is an everyday struggle as Kurt stood up and went over to his bathroom. After he took a cold shower and singing Defying Gravity while scrubbing himself with his soap, Kurt then went over and did his signature moisturizing routine. Mercedes' face brightened when she saw Kurt walk like a zombie out of his room in another of his fabulous yet casual outfits. "Come have breakfast," Mercedes exclaimed and Kurt sheepishly went over and sat in a chair opposite of her. "How are you on this fine morning, countertenor?" Mercedes asked as she gulped a spoonful of milk and cereal into her mouth. Kurt smiled, "I feel great, Mercedes. Blaine and I have been dating for over two months and oh... I can't stop thinking about him." Mercedes leaned forward, anxious to hear more news, "So what's the next step?" Kurt looked away, and muttered, "I want him with move in with me." He heard the sound of Mercedes' spoon crashing into the cereal bowl and he looked to see her jaw dropped open. "What? Move in here? But I live here, Kurt!" Mercedes whined. "As much as I want you take your relationship with Blaine a level higher, I'm afraid I can't–" Kurt cut her off mid-sentence, "But I love him, Mercedes." Mercedes' jaw dropped even more and she stuttered, "Yo... You you... luh luv...him?" Kurt's face turned red as he too was shocked at what he had just said. He had never said that he loves Blaine and hell, even Blaine hasn't said that he loves him. Kurt sat up, "I think I do." He hesitated then continued, "Gee, I don't know. I just never felt like this before." He witnessed Mercedes quickly forming the widest grin in the world on her her already annoying face. "What are you looking at?" Kurt challenged, looking away. "Kurt and Blaine, sitting on a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G." She teased and Kurt slapped her in the arm. "Stop that," Kurt said defiantly but Mercedes didn't stop. "If you want him to move in here, yo ass better go up to him one-on-one and tell him that you love him."
Kurt suddenly lost his appetite as he looked down at his warm pancakes. "I can't," he mumbled. Mercedes' eyes widened, "Why not?" Kurt looked at her and sighed, "This probably sounds stupid but I.. I don't know if he feels the same way for me." "What are you talking about? Ever since the two of you lovebirds kissed three times in a row courtesy of my awesome rendition of I Will Always Love You..." Mercedes flipped her back with pride and Kurt rolled his eyes. "... you two have been inseparable. Of course he loves you. He just probably is scared of revealing his true feelings to you." Kurt frowned at her, "For the first time since I first met you, that was the most sensible thing you have ever said." Mercedes bowed sarcastically, "Thanks, and yo betta get yo fine white ass up now and march over to his coffee shop and pull him close to you and kiss him so passionately that when one of you says 'I love you' for the first time, you'll know that he means it." Mercedes looked up at the ceiling and closed her eyes and mumbled to herself, "That'd be so damn romantic!" Kurt waved his hand to bring Mercedes back to reality, "Um, hello, Whitney wannabe but I can't go down there now! It's Monday, ya know. I have to go to work." Mercedes slumped back into her chair with disappointment, sighing as she crossed her arms. An eerie silence followed and Kurt stood up, "Fine, I'll meet him later tonight. I'll confess my true feelings to him and then can he move in here?" Mercedes winked, "Hell yeah, and he better sleep in your room cuz there's only two bedrooms and the other one is reserved for me." Kurt laughed, stood up and wrapped his scarf around his neck and after putting on a beige trench coat, he saw a little gift wrapped up with a cute red ribbon, complete with a little note on it.
"What's this?" Kurt asked as he picked it up.
"Didn't you know? It's Valentine's Day!" Mercedes replied. Kurt choked but managed to hold onto the gift. "I completely forgot. So is this from Blaine?" He plucked the note and unfolded it to read it. Mercedes said, "Probably," munching on her cereal once more.
To my very own beautiful prince,
I hope you enjoy this little gift I got for you. Happy Valentine's Day!
Thinking of you,
Blaine A.
"Oh my god, it's from Blaine!" Kurt squealed as he unwrapped the gift. As he put the wrapping aside, he looked down; two pink teddy bears were kissing each other with cute little heart-shaped pillows in their arms, joining them together. "Aww, how cute!" Kurt giggled like a little girl as he admired his gift. Mercedes had placed her bowl into the dishwasher and walked over to him, "First of all, that's adorable. Second of all, do you, Kurt Elizabeth Hummel, have a gift for him?" Kurt fished out a small gift with a miniature bowtie stamped onto it. It was the size of a little box that could house a wedding ring.
Mercedes backed away. "Is that an engagement ring?" Kurt turned to her, shocked. "Of course not." He hid the little gift back into his pocket. "Then what is it?" But Kurt shook his head, not wanting to disclose any further information about it. "I won't tell you. P.S., I lied. Of course I remembered it's Valentine's Day." Kurt unbuttoned his beige trench coat and put on a red pea coat to commemorate the holiday. "Bye," Kurt said as he walked out to work, leaving Mercedes behind to admire Blaine's gift.

It was 7pm and Blaine wore a red apron with a huge heart over it as he worked the counter at the Small Apple. He hoped that Kurt received his gift and he imagined Kurt smiling and jumping for joy. He laughed and Kurt had told him that he was to meet him here and the two would go to his apartment to spend Valentine's Day together for the first time. I love you, Kurt. Blaine thought but he suddenly frowned. Is he in love with Kurt? Well, he guessed so since they've been dating for two months and every time they were together, they would engage in hot and passionate make out sessions. Blaine has never felt like this before, overcome with the pressing desire to see his beautiful face whenever the two parted their ways for the day. But the overall impeding question remained: Am I in love with Kurt Hummel?
Blaine was too busy with his thoughts that he didn't notice a tall, sleek figure already waiting to order at the counter. "Excuse me," the man said, waving to grab Blaine's attention. Blaine shook his head and when he looked at him, he gasped. He had the boldest cheekbones and carried a very wide smile, complete with a red blazer, a T-shirt and a black tie. Focusing on him again, Blaine asked, "I'm sorry. Um... what would you like to order?" The man grinned, "Yeah, I'd like a vanilla frappucino and a chocolate chip cookie. To go." "Comin' right up," Blaine automatically said as he went back and prepared his order. Why was his face so familiar? Have I seen this guy before? Blaine wondered as he placed a chocolate chip cookie into a small paper bag. As he finished preparing the vanilla frappucino, Blaine could feel the man staring at him from behind. Is he looking at my body the way Kurt does? Blaine quickly brushed the thought aside and he placed the frappucino into the paper bag and as he folded it, he said, "That'd be $6.99, sir." The man pulled his wallet out gracefully and gave a ten, "Keep the change, handsome." He winked and grabbed the paper bag and walked off.
With the ten dollars in his hand, Blaine stared as the man was about to walk out, bewildered. That face. That smile. That voice. Suddenly, Blaine remembered and blurted out, "Sebastian?" The man stopped in his tracks and turned around, frowning. "So you do remember me, Blaine?" He asked inquisitively, returning to the counter. "I'm sorry I didn't recognize you. I just... I... it's been years since I last saw you." Blaine mumbled, trying to make up his mind. Sebastian placed the paper bag aside and held out a hand, "I've missed the good ol' days back at Dalton." Blaine shook his hand, smiling that a long lost friend has returned after a long time. Blaine took off his apron and turned to Sarah, one of his employees. He told her that he was taking a short break and he'd be chatting with Sebastian. As Blaine continued talking to Lisa, Sebastian couldn't help but admire Blaine's build. His body has gotten more muscular since he last saw him at Dalton. He looked up and down, taking the precious time to enjoy Blaine's body in front of me. He quickly looked back up and smiled, taking his paper bag with him and joining Blaine at a table, sitting across from him.
"Wow, Sebastian. It's really great to see you. What have you been up to all these years?" Blaine asked, folding his arms and crossing his legs with curiosity.
"Well, I've been trying to continue my singing career. I live in Los Angeles now and I'm considering moving here, so..." Sebastian trailed off, looking straight at Blaine's eyes.
"Well that's great! That's what you get for being a Warbler." Blaine smiled.
Sebastian suddenly placed his hand over Blaine's in an eerie fashion similar to what Kurt does. Blaine was surprised by this but he didn't dare show an ounce of confusion as Sebastian stared straight at him, his hand cupping his chin. "I have to admit, Blaine. You've been working out, huh?" Sebastian flirted with him which took Blaine aback. "Um yeah, boxing's always a great workout," Blaine said nervously as images of Kurt flashed across his mind. Sebastian leaned forward, "Well you look amazing, Blaine." Blaine faked a smile, "Thank you." Sebastian pressed on, "And since it's Valentine's Day, I was wondering if we could catch up with dinner at my hotel." Blaine was speechless. Sebastian was trying to flirt with him and he had known he was gay ever since they became friends back at Dalton but somehow, during their senior year, Sebastian had already began acting strangely and Blaine never had the courage to ask him if something's up. He didn't know that Sebastian has a major crush on him and now Sebastian wants him.
Blaine had to tell the truth. He couldn't hide it in anymore and he never saw himself being with Sebastian. Finally, he confessed, "I'm sorry, Sebastian. I'm actually busy tonight." A flick of surprise flashed across Sebastian's face but he quickly reverted back to his neutral smile.
"Oh well, what about tomorrow?" Sebastian refused to pass this opportunity up. Blaine replied, "I'm sorry, Sebastian. I'm very busy all week and I... I don't think we could have time to meet up."
"I've been watching you, Blaine." Sebastian said suddenly which made Blaine's eyes widen with surprise. "I saw you hanging out with that guy who always seems to wear those horrible bowties. I mean, what's up with that?" He sat up, a sly smile appeared across his face.
"You've been... spying on me?" Blaine gasped under his breath, unable to comprehend how their "catching up" conversation has turned for the worse.
"Yes," Sebastian said slowly. "And I suppose you're seeing him tonight, hmmm?" Blaine couldn't stand this anymore and he stood up and pointed at the door, "I think it's time for you to leave, Sebastian."
"Why the hurry, Blainey?" Sebastian teased and he didn't make any movement to get up, remaining ever so still in his chair.
"You did not just call me Blainey!" Blaine was fuming and his only desire was for Sebastian to leave. "Get out! I never want to see you again."
Another man's voice entered the heated argument but in a very gentle and soothing tone. "Who do you never want to see again, Blaine?" Blaine turned and gasped as Kurt had just arrived to pick him up for their date. Unbeknownst to the situation, Kurt turned and saw Sebastian who had been staring at him with his mouth opened a fraction with shock. Blaine walked over to Kurt and held his hand, "Kurt, could you wait outside, I just have to deal with this customer for a minute, OK?" Kurt frowned, "What'd he do?" He turned to look at Sebastian who smiled at him. "So this is the guy you've been seeing, Blainey?" Blaine scoffed at him but Kurt was now much more confused, "Blainey?" Before the conversation began to spiral out of control, Sebastian held out his hand, "Sebastian Smythe, I'm one of Blaine's old friends." Blaine muttered, "Used to be one of my old friends" and with that, he grabbed Sebastian and walked him out to the exit. As Kurt stood at his spot with confusion as he was about to shake Sebastian's hand, Blaine pushed Sebastian away from his shop.
Outside, Sebastian smirked. "So he's the guy, Blainey?" Blaine didn't say anything and said, "Get out of my sight, Sebastian. And no he's not the guy." Kurt overheard what Blaine said and his heart clenched when he heard Blaine say, "The guy I'm seeing is way better than him." Sebastian laughed, "I'll see you soon, Blaine. Real soon." Upon saying that, he walked away until Blaine lost sight of him in the crowd. When he walked back in, Kurt walked past him, not daring to make contact with him. Blaine frowned and asked what was going on. Kurt turned around to face him, "So I'm not the guy, huh?" Blaine was trying to comprehend what he was saying and then realized what he had done. "No, Kurt. It's not like that. Just let me explain." He reached out to hold Kurt's hands but he rejected him, backing away. "You're seeing another guy?" Kurt's voice cracked, a tear trickling down his cheek. "A guy who's way better than me?" He turned towards the door and Blaine ran and blocked his way, standing between Kurt and the door. Kurt closed his eyes, trying to not let the tears burst out of control. Blaine reassured him, "Kurt, please. Don't do this. I didn't mean what I said. That guy was trying to get me to date him but he-he... he was going to hurt you, Kurt." Kurt didn't believe a word Blaine was saying and tried to pass over him but Blaine didn't let him. "Please, Kurt. Oh god. He was going to hurt you."
Kurt angrily retaliated, "Get out of my way, Blaine." He managed to push Blaine off the door and as he went out, Blaine pulled him back. As Kurt turned around, he slapped Blaine in the face. Taken aback, Blaine stepped back, holding his hand over where Kurt had just slapped him. "Kurt... I-I'm so sorry. Just please -" But Kurt pointed his index finger directly at him. "You're my first love, Blaine!" Blaine was shocked that Kurt said love and Kurt stepped forward. "You're my first and I was careful to try to be with a guy who wasn't either homewrecker or a cheater. And yes I did fall for you the moment I first met you and all my life I've been ridiculed, shoved to the ground and insulted and I thought that you could finally be someone I could trust but... I-I..." Kurt's rage levelled down and he murmured, "I guess I was wrong." Blaine stared at him. He did love me, he thought. He has feelings for me! Blaine stepped towards him but Kurt backed away. "Happy Valentine's Day, Blaine," Kurt said with such sadness in his eyes that Blaine was literally fighting the urge to go up to him and kiss him. He turned and walked down the sidewalk, leaving Blaine standing alone outside of his coffee shop. A crowd had actually gathered around the two when they were fighting and upon seeing Kurt leave, they began to disperse. Before walking on, a man placed his hand on Blaine's shoulder, "Sorry man."
Blaine slowly walked back into the Small Apple, heartbroken. People had also been watching the commotion outside and they looked away as Blaine walked to retrieve his jacket. His assistant Sarah turned to him, breaking the silence, "Sorry, Blaine. You didn't deserve that." Blaine gave a weak smile and put on his coat, "I need to go home. Mind taking over for tonight?" Sarah nodded instinctively and bid him farewell as Blaine stepped out onto the streets. He had just met Sebastian for the first time in years who suddenly became a sort of a creeper and he wants Blaine for himself, subtly threatening to hurt Kurt. Blaine's face softened. Kurt. I'm so sorry that I said those words... but they were to protect you from that damn Sebastian. As he entered his apartment and ignored his roommate Trent who asked him about his date, Blaine still could feel the sting on his cheek where Kurt had slapped him. I really did hurt you, Kurt. I didn't mean to and... Blaine felt a tear stream down his cheek. He felt empty without Kurt by his side and he began to sob into his pillow in his bed. He had locked the door so that Trent couldn't come in and as Blaine looked at a picture of him and Kurt kissing each other on his cellphone, he muttered to himself: "I love you, Kurt. I really do." And at that moment, something snapped within him and Blaine looked up, determined to get back with Kurt after all he had just put him through on the most romantic holiday of the year. He clenched his fists, pushing aside the image of Sebastian away from his mind and replacing with the night when he and Kurt were dancing in Scandals. The night when they first kissed with Mercedes performing I Will Always Love You.
Blaine undressed himself and changed into his Mickey Mouse pyjamas. He pulled his quilt over him and the moment he fell asleep, he dreamed about Kurt. He needed him and he realized that he truly loves him.
