Blaine had decided it was best he go back to the basement with his friends to continue playing cards, where Rachel could not further embarrass him in front of her friends. In particular; her immensely good looking friends who he wouldn't mind marrying for their taste in pants alone.
He came down to see the Warblers sitting in a circle in various forms of undress, each holding a hand of cards.
Blaine stepped forward and looked down where they were all seated on the floor, "Um, guys?"
"Get tired of your sister, her friends, and your lover?" Nick said without looking up from his hand of cards.
Blaine blushed and put his hands in his pockets shyly, "He's not my lover. He's…he's my future abused bee hive partner."
The boys snickered and David spoke, "Jeff, do you have a Jack?"
"Nope, go fish!"
"Dammit! I'm doing a secret, it's getting cold in this basement!" David grumbled and tilted his head up in thought, "So, I once sang the power rangers theme song during sex."
Nick chuckled and Jeff dramatically laughed while humorously slapping all of their knees.
"So," Blaine smiled as he continued to observe his friends, "What are you guys playing?"
"Sexual Secret Strip Go Fish," Jeff spoke while reorganizing his cards, "You want in, Blaine? We can start the game over."
Blaine took a moment to look at all his friends and then shrugged in compliance and sat in between David and Nick on their carpet circle, "So what are the rules?"
"Regular Go Fish rules, but when you ask for a card, and someone says 'go fish,' then along with drawing your new card, you have to share a secret about your sex life or strip off a clothing item," Jeff explained and then looked around the group giddily, "It's like, my favorite game."
Blaine shuffled the deck very slowly and sloppily while the other boys put back on their previously discarded clothing. Once they were dressed Nick gently took the cards away from him to shuffle and looked him in the eyes, "So. Blaine. How was it seeing your potential nudist lover?"
Blaine just smiled at Nick dejectedly, "Rachel was telling all her friends embarrassing stories about me; I decided not to stay."
Jeff gave Blaine puppy dog eyes and reached across the circle to roughly snuggle Blaine's head against his chest, "Our poor little soloist! He's been emotionally scarred!"
Blaine was laughing into Jeff's chest but still pushed him away, "Jeff my face needs oxygen!"
"I know what will make you feel better." Nick spoke in a less hyper voice than Jeff did, "Seeing your friends naked, let's play!"
About ten minutes later found Blaine topless with his bowtie still tied around his neck. David was sitting without pants or socks. Nick was in only a blazer, boxers, and socks. Jeff was in neon pink briefs, his vest, tie, a white knitted scarf, and one sock. So far only Jeff had divulged in the secrets part of the game.
"I exclusively masturbate into polka dotted socks."
"I like having my bellybutton sucked."
"I think Santana would punch me in the face during sex, and I like that idea."
"I masturbated in your bathroom this morning."
Another ten minutes and Blaine was stripped down to mauve boxer-briefs. Only Jeff was still in anything more than underwear.
Blaine eyed Jeff, "Do you have, any sixes?"
Jeff shook his head happily, "Nudist time or sexy secret, Blaine?"
"I'd like to keep my penis private, so a secret." Blaine wracked his mind for a secret but he still had Kurt on the brain. And all he could think of what Kurt on that stepladder with his ass in Blaine's face, "I want to bite someone's ass."
"Gross, Blaine! You can't go around wanting to eat people, you monster!" Jeff spoke clutching a dramatic hand to his heart in play-fright.
"I meant in a playful way! Oh whatever, you know what I meant," Blaine smiled and rolled his eyes, "It's your turn now, Jeff."
"David, do you have any Aces?"
"Go fish, sorry Jeff. Get topless like the rest of us," David said in a sarcastic sassy voice.
"Actually," Jeff grinned mischievously and stood up, dipping his thumbs inside the edge of his underwear, "I think my nipples might get too chilly if I take off my vest!"
"Jeff, no! Bad boy! Sit down and take off your vest," Nick spoke sternly and pointed an accusing index finger at the blond boy toying with the elastic of his pink underwear.
"Oh Nick," Jeff giggled in an unnaturally high-pitched voice, "I bet you say that to all the girls!"
And then the three Warblers groaned in agony as pink fabric pooled at Jeff's ankles.
Jeff happily sat back down on the floor with them on his very naked bottom. Soon the guy's groaning turned into group laughter as Jeff winked at Nick and nodded his head towards his naked pelvis. They were all laughing so hard and loudly that they didn't even hear footsteps coming down the basement stairs.
"Holy hightops!"
Four pairs of Warbler eyes looked upon Mercedes with her own eyes staring widely at them.
"Holy what, Cedes? Oh dear god!" Kurt squeaked and stopped dead in his tracks as he collided with Mercedes's back and covered his eyes with one hand.
"Kurt, Mercedes!" Blaine yelped and threw pink briefs at Jeff's head, "Put these back on, Jeff!"
David calmly pulled his pants on and chuckled at Blaine, "Blaine, you might want to speak for yourself."
At this point Kurt let his fingers shift apart so he could sneakily take a look at Blaine.
"What?" Blaine furrowed his eyebrows in confusion and Jeff smacked a hard hand against Blaine's ass, "Owe, Jeff!"
Blaine protested rubbing his abused bottom and then his eyes bulged in realization. Blaine practically jumped back into his jeans and gave Mercedes an apologetic look, "I'm so sorry! I didn't even think about it!"
Blaine continued trying to button his jeans but his fingers were shaking from trying to do it quickly. Jeff didn't bother getting further dressed than his briefs and he grinned at Mercedes and Kurt, "So, what brings you to our rousing card game?"
"Kurt was about to drive us home, we wanted to come down and say bye," Mercedes explained stifling a giggle.
Blaine started to step forward, smiling and still topless, "I'll walk you guys out."
"Not so fast, shorty," David called grabbing Blaine around the shoulders.
Nick snickered and handed Blaine his heather purple t-shirt, "Put a shirt on, Blaine."
Blaine blushed and quickly pulled his shirt on over his head, "Um, now I'll be walking you out."
"Sounds good," Kurt nodded with a smirk as he followed Mercedes and Blaine up the stairs, "Guess you decided to start our life in a nudist colony without me, huh?"
Blaine chortled and opened the door from the basement for Kurt to walk through.
"Well, I had to test it out on them first, of course, make sure it was a good idea," Blaine's eyes twinkled, "Next time I'll be sure to invite you."
Kurt swung around to lift his eyebrows at Blaine while he bit his lip in playful thought. Kurt then looked Blaine up and down and hummed, "See to it that you do."
Blaine dropped his head down with a giggle and then looked back up at Kurt with an expression that screamed, 'love me, I am so cute, please continue flirting with me.' But what Blaine actually spoke was, "I will. I've shown you mine, it's only fair you show me yours."
Kurt's mouth fell agape and he choked a little on the breath he took in too quickly, "You are growing far bolder than I expected you were capable of, Blaine."
Blaine looked slightly embarrassed, but his smile didn't falter, "It's your fault, I blame you."
"Is that right?"
Blaine grinned, "Definitely."
Mercedes gave Kurt a knowing smile over Blaine's shoulder but then lifted her watch and pointed at it, "As much as I'd love to continue to watch you two flirt the pants off each other-or in Blaine's case, back off-I told my mom I'd be home in five minutes."
Blaine nodded opening the front door for them and bombarding Mercedes in a hug, "It was lovely seeing you again, Mercedes."
Mercedes squeezed him around the shoulders, "You too, Blaine."
When they pulled apart Blaine and Kurt did a little awkward dance of whether they should hug or shake hands. In the end Blaine wrapped his arms around Kurt's shoulders and rubbed his curls against Kurt's neck purposefully, "I will miss you, my future abused bee-saving husband!"
Kurt snorted and laughed heartily, holding Blaine at his waist, "You're so weird! You're lucky you're cute and can get away with this."
"Don't forget, fuckable."
Kurt rolled his eyes and pushed Blaine back against the door frame playfully as he broke the hug. Then he shot him a coy smile, "See you later, Blaine."
Kurt had spent Sunday and Monday at Christmas parties. Usually he and his dad went to two; one for his family, and one for his dad's shop. However, now that his family had expanded, they had Carole's Christmas parties to go to as well. And she had way more of a social life than Burt did.
Tonight was Christmas Eve, and Kurt was going with Finn to the hospital to help bring some of the terminally ill children presents, and sing to them with the Glee club. Kurt had been ready for hours in tight violet leggings (that, yes, came from the women's department and Kurt could not care less) and fitted dark grey wool coat, and matching mid-calf high grey docs.
Though Kurt usually dressed well, he may have spent a little extra time shaping his hair and might have been wearing subtly applied mascara. Why?
Because Rachel was coming.
More importantly, Kurt and Finn would be picking her up. And Kurt would have to go inside to fix whatever Rachel had deemed style before she presented herself to Finn. Which meant, provided Blaine had made no plans, would present the perfect moment to ask him along to the hospital.
Right now, he was waiting on Finn.
"Do you think you left it in the unorganized pile of shoes in your closet?"
"I think I left it at Rachel's."
"How do you leave one half of a pair of shoes at Rachel's?"
Finn just blinked and looked thoughtful for a moment.
"Alright, come on Finn. We have to pick up Rachel anyway," Kurt explained as he pulled Finn by his collar towards the front door.
Finn stopped dead in his tracks, "Kurt, I need to ask you something."
Kurt raised an eyebrow at Finn, "If it's whether or not you can borrow my throw pillows for you sleepovers with the guys, the answer is no. I don't want to come back to food and soda stains on them."
Finn shifted from foot to foot in an anxious manner and then sighed, "Did you have sex with Blaine at Rachel's party?"
Kurt's mouth fell agape and he lightly smacked Finn in the chest as he continued walking out the door and in to the car. Finn was in the car shortly after and received a very signature blank stare from Kurt.
"How can you even ask me that?" Kurt inquired quietly but lividly, as he turned on the car and began to pull out of the driveway.
"Dude! Everyone in Glee was talking about it, okay? I had to ask."
"So the entire Glee club thinks I would willingly have sex for the first time, while I am smashed beyond comprehension, with a guy I had not even known for a full day?"
"I don't know, he's not, like, a total stranger, he's Rachel's brother. It's not like you have many other options," Finn shrugged.
That aggravated Kurt to the bone, "So, what, you think I finally meet a guy that's my age and gay and that's all it takes for me to feel comfortable being intimate? Are you really that thick, Finn?"
Finn's eyebrows furrowed so hard they become one eyebrow, "I mean, I know I'm not as thin as you and stuff, but I don't think 'thick' really-"
"No! I mean thick in the head, Finn; as in obtuse or dim. As in, you really believe that I would be that quick to hop into bed with someone?"
"I didn't mean that, like, you were a slut or anything-"
"No one is a slut, Finn. Slut is society's way to shame humanity into not having consensual, safe sex. There's nothing wrong with sex."
Finn paused for a moment, "Wait, then…I don't get it."
Kurt pulled over to the sidewalk in front of Rachel and Blaine's house and put the car in 'park' before turning to Finn, "I'm sure sex is wonderful, but I have to have trust, and feel comfortable with them. I want more than a hot guy I barely know. And I don't have those things with Blaine or anyone for that matter. So no, I didn't have sex with Blaine. And I'm not ready to have sex anytime soon, okay?"
Finn nodded, "I think so. It's like, how Rachel says she wants to wait to have sex with me?"
"It's sort of like that. Rachel wants her first time to be a little more dramatically romantic than I want mine to be. She probably wants to wait until she wins a Tony or-"
"How did you know that? I, dude, that's…that's kind of spooky, dude."
Kurt smirked at Finn and shrugged in a quasi-modest fashion as he opened the car door getting out, "Your girlfriend treats me like I'm her boyfriend."
"Yeah, you're her boyfriend who'd rather make out with her brother."
"Yes, well. I don't think it's completely hit her yet that her brother is prettier than her, so lets just not say anything to her about that, shall we?"
"Duh dude, bro code!" Finn grinned reached his first out towards Kurt in solidarity.
Kurt smiled slightly and gently pushed Finn's fist away from him, "I'm not going to fist bump you, but yes, bro code."
Author Note: In light of tonight's Glee episode not being overrun with Klaine, have another chapter!
This one's a bit longer than the others so hopefully this will satisfy.
Did you enjoy the Warbler 'Go Fish' game? Did you like the flirting? Like the Furt!Sibling moments? Let me know what you thought! :D
