"His name is Kurt"
Kurt couldn't feel his heart. If he could, he would have felt it jumping out of his chest. He watched Blaine walk to the small stage as he tried to catch his breath. Mercedes was staring at him with bug eyes and a big smile. They were about to start a conversation when he heard a voice clearing his throat at the microphone.
Kurt stared up at Blaine with a big smile as the pre-recorded karaoke music began to play. Kurt and Mercedes listened intently to try and figure out what this song was, and Mercedes realized it first.
"Ohmigod. KurtKurtKurtKurt. Ohmigod" She said as she almost pulled Kurt's arm out of its socket. Kurt didn't recognize the song until Blaine started singing with a voice as smooth as silk and was staring right into Kurt's eyes.
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you
You'd be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
and I thank God I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you
Kurt was enamored. Blaine was singing with such amazing purity and sincerity that Kurt could have cried. He was staring into Kurt's eyes and Kurt could tell that there was so much in the lyrics of this song that applied to Blaine since Kurt came into his life.
Pardon the way that I stare
There's nothing else to compare
The sight of you leaves me weak
There are no words left to speak
but if you feel like I feel
please let me know that its real
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you
As the horns blasted on the speakers Blaine began dancing around the stage with the mic stand and danced his way over to the side of the stage where Kurt and Mercedes stood, laughing. Suddenly, he fell down to his knees with the stand Kurt's heart came up into his mouth. Damn that's sexy he thought to himself. Blaine sang the chorus loudly as if he was proclaiming a message from the mountaintops.
I LOVE YOU BABY
AND IF ITS QUITE ALRIGHT
I NEED YOU BABY
TO WARM THE LONLEY NIGHT
I LOVE YOU BABY
TRUST IN ME WHEN I SAY
OH PRETTY BABY
DON'T LET ME DOWN, I PRAY
OH PRETTY BABY
NOW THAT I FOUND YOU, STAY
AND LET ME LOVE YOU BABY
LET ME LOVE YOU
YOU'RE JUST TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE
As the song ended, Kurt was smiling more than he ever thought he could. It reminded him of his favorite scene from one of his favorite movies, "10 Things I Hate About You" when Heath Ledger serenaded Julia Stiles in front of all of her friends.
Blaine hopped off the stage and walked towards him, and Kurt could see that he was slightly sweating as he followed a bead of sweat down Blaine's temple and all the way down to his collarbone under his shirt.
"Hey!" Blaine chuckled, slightly out of breath as he walked over to the couch where the three were previously sitting.
"Hey yourself," Kurt said as he plopped down on the couch and looked at the other boy, "that was absolutely amazing".
"Thank you! I'm really glad you liked it." Blaine said, a shy smile forming on his face at the end of the sentence.
Kurt blushed and held out his hand to the other boy.
"Shall we?" he asked as he motioned his head over to the couch, smiling softly.
Blaine took his hand and they walked over to the couch they were previously sitting on. As they walked away, Mercedes looked over to the other members of the group, all taking notice of the couple with huge smiles.
Next to take the stage was Rachel, who sang "My Man" from Funny Girl. As she sang, the two boys talked and continued to learn more about each other. Every time one of the boys would laugh, or crack a joke, the other would find themselves falling even faster for their smile, their laugh, the way their eyes lit up when they talked about their passions. Kurt listened to the lyrics of the background music and couldn't help but smile.
Oh my man I love him so
He'll never know
Oh my life is just his spare
I don't care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is bright, alright
Whats the difference if I say
I'll go away
When I know I'll come back on my knees someday
For whatever my man is
I am his forever more
The only thing that Kurt found wrong with the situation was that Blaine wasn't his. Yes, he had mentioned that he liked Kurt and mentioned everything that he liked about Kurt, but he had made no move to show Kurt that he wanted anything more.
After Rachel, Tina, Sam, Santana and Artie had sang their selections, Mercedes made her way onto the stage.
"Hey there everybody! My name is Mercedes Jones and I'm gonna slow things down for y'all okay? For all you lovebirds in the house," she said looking directly at the couple on the couch, "get out of your seats and bring a partner up to dance. This is for you"
The teens all stood up and found their respective dance partners and brought them out onto the makeshift dance floor. Kurt looked at Blaine expectantly and saw Blaine already staring at him, eyes wide and a nervous smile on his face, as if he were about to ask the most important question of his life.
"umm…Kurt? D-do you want to, er…" Blaine choked out, nerves getting the best of him.
Kurt could only laugh at how adorable he was.
"I'd love to dance, Blaine. Come on." He said as he pulled Blaine out of his seat and walked out onto the floor.
The familiar tones of Blaine's favorite love song began and he smiled even wider as he pulled Kurt into the standard slow dance formation. Though the start of the dance was a little stiff and awkward, Blaine eventually loosened up and pulled Kurt closer so that he was flush against him. Kurt rested his head on Blaine's shoulder as they continued to rock slowly back and forth along with all of the other couples. Blaine began singing along with Mercedes as she sang.
At last, my love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song
At last, the skies above are blue
My heart was wrapped up in clover
The night I looked at you
I found a dream
That I could speak to
A dream that I could call my own
I found a thrill to press my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known
You smiled, you smiled
oh, and then the spell was cast
and here we are in heaven
For you are mine at last
Blaine sang along to the final verse into Kurt's ear, which caused the other boy to lift his head off of Blaine's shoulder. Blaine looked deep into Kurt's eyes and leaned his forehead onto Kurt's. Blaine honestly felt that this was one of the best nights of his entire life, and he had never been happier. He was surrounded by people that would hopefully become his friends, and a boy that he was falling for harder and harder by the second.
With his forehead leaning onto Kurt's, he noticed the other boy's eyes darken. Blaine's breath caught in his throat because he was going to kiss Kurt. I'm about to kiss Kurt OHMIGOD I'm about to kiss Kurt! Do something you idiot, don't screw this up Blaine lean in! After fighting with his own brain, Blaine leaned in apprehensively, giving Kurt ample time to back out if he wasn't ready.
Kurt didn't back away, instead, he moved in just as eagerly and as their lips ever-so-slightly brushed, fire sparked. The kiss was somewhat awkward because their lips hadn't actually met, but Blaine felt a warmth on his bottom lip where his and Kurt's lips had met and immediately went back in for more, missing the warming sensation that was tingling from his lips all the way down to his feet. This kiss was longer, and as Kurt brought his arms to wrap around Blaine's neck and Blaine snaked his arm around Kurt's waist, bringing them even closer than they were before. As Blaine swiped his tongue across Kurt's bottom lip, producing a small moan from the other boy, his mind went fuzzy because his and Kurt's tongue had just met and fireworks were exploding in his mind.
Blaine had never believed the whole myth about first kisses being magic, but even though it started a little awkward, it turned into one of the most mind-blowing, sensational kisses that Blaine would probably ever experience. Both boys were partially aware of the stares and awws and 'oh damn's being shouted at them, but they were too completely enamored with each other to care.
They pulled away from each other and Kurt abruptly walked away from Blaine. Blaine was shocked, as were all of the people around him. Did Kurt not want to kiss him? Did he see Blaine as another version of his bully that took advantage of him? His fears were reassured when Kurt turned back to smile at him and walked up onto the stage and talked into the microphone.
"Hi guys, I'm Kurt. I-I'm gonna sing you guys a song! So…I hope you like it." he said quietly as his eyes stayed locked on Blaine.
Have you ever fed a lover with just your hands?
Closed your eyes and trusted, just trusted?
Have you ever thrown a fistful of glitter in the air?
Have you ever looked fear in the face and said, 'I just don't care'?
Its only half past the point of no return
The hourglass on the table the sun before the burn
The thunder before the lightening
and the breath before the phrase
Have you ever felt this way?
La la la la la la la
There you are sitting in the garden
Clutching my coffee
calling me sugar
You called me sugar
Blaine stared up at the stage. Kurt's voice was absolutely stunning…angelic even. It was high pitched but still had masculinity to it. The song suited his voice perfectly and he sang the lyrics with so much emotion that Blaine almost wanted to cry.
At the close of the song, he looked directly into Blaine's eyes with a shy smile and what would best be described as "heart eyes". Blaine's heart started beating miles per minute.
Have you ever wished for an endless night?
Lassoed the moon and the stars and pulled that rope tight
Have you ever held your breath, and asked yourself
Could it ever get better than tonight?
Tonight…
As the final notes rang out, Kurt's eyes fluttered closed and a breathtaking smile graced his lips, which immediately brought one to Blaine's as well. Kurt walked off the stage and into Blaine's arms. Blaine kissed his hair softly and whispered into his ear,
"you move me."
That was all Kurt needed to launch his lips back onto Blaine's. They continued talking, dancing and laughing with all of the other members of the group until the manager announced that the lounge was closing.
Kurt and Blaine said their goodbyes to all of the others and Blaine was given a few short "don't hurt Kurt or else I'll hurt you" before departing hand in hand with Kurt.
The drive back to McKinley was spent singing and aimlessly chatting, both boys seemingly on a high from the nights events. Once they arrived at the school, Blaine gave Kurt one last goodnight kiss before getting out of the car with a "see you next Thursday? Call me!", and a bright smile.
When Blaine got to his car, he hid himself out of Kurt's view and leaned on the drivers door for a few minutes, hardly believing that so many amazing things could happen in one night. He drove home quickly and ran in the door, anxious to tell his mother everything that had happened tonight.
"Hey Mom? COME DOWN HERE I HAVE TO TELL YOU EVERYTHING! I HAD THE MOST AMAZING NI – Mom! what's wrong?…"
