A/N: Back! Sort of. Not really.
So anyway, now that you know Blaine's feelings and things of that nature, this chapter will be in third person, switching from Kurt and Blaine's perspective. Hope you don't get confused. The whole story will go back and forth between first person Kurt/Blaine and third person Kurt/Blaine. Hope you don't get annoyed.
"Of course you know that this case is going to be much harder than any other," Finn said gently, dumping a buttload of sugar into his coffee. "Given that you're both males and this is Lima, Ohio. The state government is going to take some time getting used to the fact that same-sex marriage is legal. Consequently, almost every same-sex couple that files for divorce has their file lost, which means they never get the papers to sign, which means they never get a divorce... it's crazy"
Blaine knew that already. Ever since marriage equality was established right about the time he had finished high school at Dalton, there was a boom of couples getting married. Same-sex couples, couples that did the Brangelina thing... it was chaos. Obviously after that there were a lot of same-sex couples filing for divorces that would never happen. State officials went through the papers to make sure that only hetero couples were getting divorces. Any same-sex couples filing for divorce had their papers thrown into the garbage. If anyone asked, their file was lost. This, consequently, made any same-sex couple hesitant to get married in the first place, which, Blaine assumed, was the point of the whole damned thing.
"I get it. I do. I'm just a little bummed that that's how it is, that's all. But there's just one thing. I'm not sure if I can cover all this, financially, I mean." Finn and Kurt both shifted uncomfortably in a way that could only mean they were brothers. "I really appreciate what you're trying to do for me, but- Well, here's the thing. I'm a teacher. A music teacher. I don't get paid much, and I have a daughter and now her mother to take care of... I just don't see how I would be able to pay you-" Kurt raised his hand and cut Blaine off.
"I'll pay for it. We're family now. We might not be a traditional family, being gay plus gay plus two daughters plus surrogate mother,-"
"Plus lawyer, do I count? Come on, dude." Finn interjected.
"-but we're still a family. Don't worry about it," Kurt said.
I can't do this. He's flawless. I'm going to fall in love with him. I don't know what to do, Blaine thought.
"Kurt, I can't let you-" Blaine tried.
"Blaine."
"Kurt."
"Finn!" said the lawyer, playing with the game.
"Blaine. I'm paying. Shut up and go along, okay?" Kurt persisted. This guy does not give up.
You know, Blaine, you've been trying to keep your guys' relationship platonic, being that he's the father of your daughter's half sister and best friend. Which is, you know, great for you, taking things slow and all. But look at you, man. You want him. You're not getting any younger and you want him. Hell, even James didn't make you feel like this. Start making some move moves, get your flirt on.
"Okay. Okay, fine. But I'm going to find some way to pay you back," Blaine promised. "I'm not going to let you do this for me for nothing in return."
"I never said you wouldn't have to pay me back," Kurt said with a wink. He blushed. "Um, I have to go to the bathroom. I'll be back. Give me like five minutes." And with that he was quickly scrambling along to the bathroom.
"So, man, you're a music teacher," Finn spoke up.
"Yes, yes I am. At McKinley Elementary. Ava Rae and Bella go there," I replied.
"Yeah, cool. I think it's cool that in a rather fortunate turn of events, you guys just happened to find each other. You know?"
"Um, yeah. I think it's really nice that Ava Rae and Bella have become best friends, because now they're completely thrilled with the thought of the whole 'your best friend is in reality your half sister, have fun with that' kind of th-"
"Okay, that's great and all, lil' dude, but that's not what I meant." Blaine's face went from inspired to confused. "I'm talking about you and Kurt." Finn leaned forward and raised his eyebrows knowingly. "You've got the hots for my baby brother," he whispered.
"Oh, my God," Blaine muttered, exasperated.
"You do, you do, and that's okay. He's hot. I get it. And you didn't hear this from me, but a little birdie whose name rhymes with flurt told me that Kurt likes you back."
"He does?" Blaine asked, almost a little too excited. "I mean, he told you that?"
"Yes he did. Now here's the thing, Blaine. Ready?" Blaine nodded. "Kurt hasn't been with anyone since, um, since Eddie. I don't know if you've done the math or not, but that's six years right there. Kurt hasn't been with anyone for six years. And then there's you. When Kurt talks about you, his whole face, like, explodes or something. It's awesome. You guys are just friends and you already make him happy. This whole thing just works out almost too perfectly. It's almost as if there's someone sitting at their computer right now writing this story about how you and Kurt are magically linked together by fate or karma or something. I don't know what it's called. But anyway, you guys fit. Like a puzzle, or some really cool shoes. I think you should ask him out. I think you're his missing piece."
Blaine took a few seconds to process. Kurt liked him. Kurt talked about him and how much he liked him. And apparently, it was so obvious that they should be together that even Finn was telling him to get his shit together and ask him out.
"So, you're saying... just go for it?" Blaine asked tentatively.
"Yup, that's what I'm saying."
"I think I will."
So this one was kind of short, but um, I missed you guys. It's been like four months. Well, I don't necessarily have my laptop back, so it's going to be a while in between updates, but I promise, it won't be four months. I hope y'all enjoyed the chapter! Follow me on tumblr, wehateraisns.
Okay bye!
