In My Life, I Love You More

Kurt stayed behind, after his professor had dismissed the class, slowly collecting his things. Just as he finished placing his books and papers into his bag, he glanced up. He smiled, catching sight of Blaine, standing in the front of the room.

"What are you doing here?" Kurt asked as the other boy set down his small CD player.

"Cheering you up, hopefully," Blaine said with a grin. "We'll be taking a trip down memory lane." He pressed the play button and Kurt couldn't help but laugh at the music that filled the room. "And I happen to know that your sexy faces have improved quite a bit since then." He gave him a teasing grin, and Kurt merely laughed again and shook his head. "Here we go again," Blaine sang to him, "I kind of want to be more than friends, so take it easy on me—I'm afraid you're never satisfied..."

"Here we go again, we're sick like animals, we play pretend," Kurt sang on cue, approaching Blaine. "You're just a cannibal and I'm afraid I won't get out alive." He turned away from him playfully, making his way to the other side of the classroom, Blaine following him closely behind.

"No I won't sleep tonight..." they sang together, Blaine spinning him around and taking his hands in his.

They sang the entire song just as they had practiced so many years ago. Kurt couldn't help but smile throughout the routine, things suddenly feeling far simpler than they had in months. However, he knew it was too good to last.

They finished their final notes, slightly breathless as their voices faded. Blaine gazed at Kurt, whose heart was pounding, with an expression he was certain he recognised.

Suddenly, Blaine was leaning in, kissing Kurt gently. It was bliss and perfection and everything that Kurt had remembered it being. After several long moments, Blaine pulled away again.

"I'm sorry," he breathed out. "I... I shouldn't have done that."

"Why not?" Kurt asked, the hurt he felt evident in his voice.

Blaine sighed, running his hand over his face. "I can't promise you that I'm doing this for all the right reasons," he said.

Kurt closed his eyes tightly, taking in a deep breath. "I'm such an idiot."

"It doesn't mean that I don't have feelings for you," Blaine tried, but Kurt shook his head.

"I'm not always going to just sit back and wait," Kurt told him softly. He paused, glancing down at his hands. "Alex texted me while I was in class. He said he's sorry, said he trusts me and he wants me to take him back." He turned back to Blaine. "I think I'm going to."

"Oh," Blaine said lamely. "Yeah. Of course. You... you should."

Kurt turned away from him again, moving back to his desk where he grabbed his bag. "I should get to my next class," he murmured, and with that, he was gone.
