AN: Okay for this chapter and any other chapter where Blaine and Kurt sing a duet, Kurt sings whatever is underlined.Blaine sings whatever is in bold. Whatever is underlined and in bold is what they sing together. I've seen that done in some other fics, so it isn't my idea. I rather enjoyed this chapter and I hope you do too! (:
The Dalton Academy Warblers were all gathered in the choir room waiting for the counsel to call them to attention. Blaine sat on a couch in the back of the room with Kurt in his lap. They had been inseparable since they had made up a little over a week ago. As Blaine and Kurt were snuggling, Josh and Dylan sat together, glaring at the oblivious couple.
Josh turned to Dylan and said suddenly, "Sucks, doesn't it?"
Dylan nodded enthusiastically and opened his mouth to reply but was cut off by the counsel bringing the Warblers to order.
"Alright you guys! Our annual Warblers lock in is coming up!" David announced. "That means we'll all be meeting here tomorrow night at six. We'll see you all then. Make sure to bring everything that you're going to need from your dorm, seeing as no one will be allowed to go back to their dorm until the lock in is over!"
The boys chatted happily amongst themselves as they headed out of the room. Blaine stood up and grabbed Kurt around his waist from behind. He whispered into his ear, "Ready for your first ever Warblers lock in?"
Kurt shivered at the feel of Blaine's breath on his cheek and melted into his boyfriend. "Mm, as long as you're there I'm ready for anything."
Blaine gave Kurt a look and Kurt realized what he had just said, "Blaine! You know I didn't mean it like that! I just feel like I can do anything with you."
Blaine smiled at his boy, "I know, babe. I think it's cute!" He kissed the tip of Kurt's nose and interlocked their fingers as they started walking.
"So what exactly is the point of this lock in?" Kurt asked. Since he had only transferred to Dalton this year, he had yet to experience all of the Warblers'' odd traditions.
Blaine stopped to the door to their room and opened the door, pulling Kurt inside. "Well, usually it starts with a couple of musical numbers by various willing soloists then it ends up... interestingly..."
"What do you mean by that?", Kurt inquired.
"Um, some guys just end up doing some things that they regret the next morning. Don't worry- there's no alcohol involved, the boys here can just get really caught up in the moment. You'll see." Blaine smiled encouragingly at Kurt's worried face. "You'll be fine, Kurt! I'm here to protect you, although you won't need it!"
Kurt grinned and pulled his boyfriend closer. "I love how protective you are of me. It makes me feel safe." Kurt kissed Blaine gently on the lips and sighed into his mouth. He would never get tired of the way their mouths melded together. He ran his tongue along Blaine's lips, memorizing his taste. Blaine deepened the kiss and leaned Kurt up against the wall. He pulled his mouth away from Kurt's and began nibbling lightly on Kurt's neck. He started to suck on the sweet skin he found there while Kurt sighed happily. Blaine made him so happy. He felt like he was on cloud nine no matter what they were doing. They could be doing French homework side-by-side in complete silence and Kurt could feel completely at peace.
Kurt grabbed Blaine's face in his hands and brought their lips together. He pushed his tongue into Blaine's mouth, loving the thrill that went through him every time their tongues touched.
Kurt knew he was in love with Blaine for sure because every one of their kisses felt as amazing as their first.

Josh sat in his room alone, scrawling furiously in a blue notebook. He held the notebook protectively against his knees as he scribbled down his thoughts. This notebook was sacred to him. He held all of his deepest emotions in this very book. Flowing across the pages were words of both love and hate. There were song lyrics jumbled in the margins while his thoughts cascaded down the lines of the pages.
A knock came at the door and Josh jumped up at the sound. He shoved the notebook under his mattress and leapt off of his bed to open the door. He was surprised to see an unfamiliar face at the door. The boy leaning in the doorway had dirty blond hair that hung just over his stunningly green eyes. "Hi, I'm Lucas. I'm new here. You're Josh, right?" Josh nodded, looking confused. "I'm your new roommate."
Realization flooded across Josh's face along with a warm smile. "Oh, hi, Lucas! Come on in!" Josh gestured for Lucas to follow him into the room. Lucas followed and set his bags down on the empty bed across the room from Josh's.
"What brings you here to Dalton?" Josh asked, genuinely curious.
"Ah, well. My parent's just got divorced, so my mom sent me here. I suspect it's just so she can have more alone time with her boyfriend. But whatever. She also wants to break my girlfriend and I up."
Josh chuckled and instantly regretted it. "Oh no! I don't mean to be insensitive! I am terribly sorry about your situation. I just laughed because it's been a long time since I've had to deal with girls." Lucas shuffled his feet awkwardly. "Do you're gay? Not to be rude, but is this setup going to be a problem for you?" Lucas asked uncomfortably.
Josh sighed dreamily and then replied, "Oh no! I happen to be in love with another student here. He just has a boyfriend so..." Josh left his thoughts trail off and hang in the air.
"Ah, right. Well, I've got an audition that I should head to..." Lucas said, changing the topic.
"Oh really? An audition for what?" Josh asked curiously. "I don't mean to pry-"
"No, it's fine. I'm trying out to be in the Warblers. You know the singing group here? I've heard it's outstanding."
Josh grinned and clapped his hands. "Oh my gosh! You're a singer! Me too! I'm in the Warblers too!" Josh was always happy to engage in a conversation about music or singing, much as the other Warbler's were.
Lucas merely nodded and smiled, "Cool! But I really do need to go to my audition. We can talk music later, okay?"
Josh nodded. "Absolutely!"

Kurt and Blaine were snuggled up in bed the next afternoon. Blaine got up and attempted to take Kurt with him.
"Kurt, we've got to pack for the lock in tonight. They're serious about not letting anyone back to their dorms."
Kurt groaned and buried himself under the warm comforter. "I don't want to get up!"
Blaine laughed and threw a pair of socks at his boyfriend. "If you don't pack you'll forget your moisturizing crap and then you'll have wrinkles when you're older! Is that what you want?"
The tired brunette threw the socks back at Blaine. "You suck for being right"
The curly hair boy pumped his fists into the air and replied, "You know you love me! Now get your cute, lazy ass out of bed!"
Kurt stuck his tongue out at Blaine and rolled out of bed to pack his things for the lock in.

An hour later all of the Warblers, including the newly inducted Lucas, mingled in the choir room. The room was buzzing with excitement and anticipation. The lock in was always a highlight of the boys' dorm lives.
Wes appeared in the front of the room and called out to get every one's attention. "Guys! It's time to go over the rule's for this year's lock in. As you all know, Dalton Academy has it's own music hall. It consists of the Warblers' common room and choir room along with the band room, supply closets and restrooms. You are allowed to go into any of these places. We will lock all of the doors that lead out of the music wing, so we will all be confined to the music wing together. The goal of this lock in is to bond and grow and a team and a single unit. No alcohol, drugs, weapons or other substance or item against school codes. Other than that there are no rules. Have fun!"
The Warblers decided to start off the night with some musical performances. Kurt and Blaine decided to perform their own rendition of Avril Lavigne's "4 Real".
Blaine sat down at the piano and started playing the melody.
Kurt began singing his part of the vocals, pouring pure emotion into the words and notes.
If I show you
Get to know you
If I hold you just for today
I'm not gonna wanna let go
I'm not gonna wanna go home
Tell me you feel the same
He looked at Blaine playing the piano and smiled lovingly at his charming, talented boyfriend.
'Cause I'm for real
Are you for real?
I can't help myself
It's the way I feel
When you look me in the eyes like you did last night
I can't stand to hear you say goodbye
But it feels so right
'Cause it feels so right just to have you standing by my side
So don't let me go
Cause you have my soul
Blaine started in with his section; his amazing voice was powerful with emotion.
And I just wanted you to know 'Cause I'm for real
I don't wanna look back
Cause I know that we have
Something the past could never change.
And I'm stuck in the moment
And my heart is open
Tell me that you feel the same
Are you for real?
I can't help myself
It's the way I feel
When you look me in the eyes like you did last night
I can't stand to hear you say goodbye
Well it feels so right
'Cause it feels so right just to have you standing by my side
So don't let me go
The two boys began singing the melody together, harmonizing and having a great time pouring out their soul. They smiled and sang filled with love for each other.
Cause you have my soul Hold (Hold) me down (me down) 'Cause I'm for real (I'm for real)
And I just wanted you to know
Hold (Hold) me now
I'm safe (I'm safe)
I'm sound (sound)
When you're around
Hold (Hold) me down (me down)
Hold (Hold) me now
I'm safe (I'm safe)
I'm sound (sound)
When you're around
Are you for real?
I can't help myself
It's the way I feel
When you look me in the eyes like you did last night
I can't stand to hear you say goodbye
Well it feels so right
'Cause it feels so right just to have you standing by my side
So don't let me go
Cause you have my soul
And I just wanted you to know
'Cause I'm for real
Are you for real?
I can't help myself
It's the way I feel
When you look me in the eyes like you did last night
I can't stand to hear you say goodbye
Well it feels so right
'Cause it feels so right just to have you standing by my side
So don't let me go
Cause you have my soul
And I just wanted you to know
As the boys finished the song together they embraced warmly and headed back to their seats. The other boys rolled their eyes but were genuinely happy for the boys.
A few more boys got up the nerve to sing and about an hour later the Warblers decided it was time to kick it up a notch.
/-/-/-/
All of the singers were seated in a large circle in the Warblers' common room. They decided to play truth or dare against some of the older boys' protests. They knew how out of control the game could get.
Josh was the first person going and Dylan had to ask Josh his question. "Truth or Dare" Dylan said.
"Truth" Josh replied, trying to go with the safest choice.
"If you could make out with anyone in this room- straight or gay- who would it be?" Well shit. So much for the "safe choice". Josh mumbled something with his head down, but no one understood what he was saying. "Well, Josh?"
Josh bushed furiously and said, "Kurt." Kurt blushed even harder, completely surprised at Josh's attraction to him. He snuggled closer into Blaine.
Josh spun the bottle in the middle of the circle and it landed on Kurt. Josh asked Kurt, "Truth or Dare?"
Kurt pondered this for a moment before finally deciding on dare. "I dare you to kiss anyone in this room. That isn't Blaine. For five minutes."
Kurt cringed and surveyed the room. His eyes landed on Josh, knowing Josh wanted to kiss him made the deed easier. Kurt leaned towards Josh and kissed him gently on the mouth. Josh brought up a hand to cup Kurt's face and deepened the kiss. He slid his tongue over Kurt's lips, trying to savor the taste. Kurt shivered against Josh and wrapped his arms around his neck. Kurt was surprised at how amazing of a kisser Josh was. They two boys moved into a comfortable rhythm and reluctantly pulled away from each other as someone yelled, "Five minutes!"
Stupid bastard who ended my kiss with Kurt, thought Josh.
Kurt spun the bottle and it landed on Lucas. "Truth or Dare?", Kurt asked Lucas.
"Dare." Lucas said firmly. There was no way he was wimping out on his first lock in.
Kurt looked straight at Lucas and said, "I dare you to kiss every boy in this room and then pick the top three best kissers."
Lucas' jaw dropped and an echo of "harsh" and "damn, Kurt" echoed throughout the room. Josh got up and started making his way around the circle, kissing each boy with tongue. When he got to Blaine he leaned in and kissed Blaine. Blaine leaned into the kiss and enjoyed the moment. Damn, Lucas thought. This boy's kisses are enough to turn any man gay!
Lucas moved on and kissed Kurt, loving the softness of his lips. Whoa, wait. What am I doing? Liking these boys' kisses? I'm straight!
After Lucas kissed every one of the boys, he settled back into his spot on the floor and words tumbled out of his mouth. "The best kissers in order are Blaine, Kurt and Josh." The three boys mentioned looked satisfied.
Kurt leaned into Blaine and whispered, "I already knew you were the best kisser here." He kissed Blaine and melted into his mouth. They were so absorbed into each other that they didn't realize that the bottle had now landed on Blaine.
"Yo! Lover boy!" Lucas yelled. "Truth or Dare?"
Blaine pulled away from Kurt and said, "Dare"
"I dare you to give Kurt a lap dance." Lucas said with a smirk. Take that, Bitch. That's for making me kiss guys when I'm straight.
Blaine got up and pulled a chair over to the circle and Kurt sat down in it. Blaine looked at Kurt who was beet red and look mortified. Blaine whispered, "It'll be okay" in Kurt's ear before slowly rotating his hips slowly in font of Kurt. He moved slowly and fluidly as he draped his body all over the mortified boy. He continued this for several minutes before he straddled Kurt and kissed him fiercely. "That was for being a trooper." Blaine whispered as he took his place back in the circle. Kurt followed and snuggled into Blaine's arm.
Blaine spun the bottle and laughed as it landed on Dylan. "Truth or Dare?"
"Truth"
"How far have you wanted to go with my boy, Kurt, here?" Blaine asked with a smirk. Kurt smacked Blaine in the arm and blushed for what seemed to be the millionth time that night.
Dylan looked uncomfortably at the floor and mumbled, "All the way..."
The boys all murmured and Kurt smacked Blaine in the arm again. "Wow. Way to make things awkward, Blaine."
Blaine grinned and messed up Kurt's hair. "It's what I do best. And that's what these lock ins are for, Kurt!"
Kurt sighed and wandered over to where his stuff was sitting.
After the boys deemed they'd had enough truth or dare, they all settled into groups to stake out their sleeping territory.
The technical games may have been over but everyone knew that the night and drama were far from over.
AN: Sorry this chapter is shorter than the last few, I'm doing two chapters for one event to that explains it.
