Author's Note
Hello wonderful people! I apologize for the wait on this one, but it is holiday season you know…
So this chapter contains aww-inducing bromance, Klaine fluffiness, and a scheming Blaine. Enjoy!
DISCLAIMER: I don't own glee, unfortunately.
"So, are you guys, like…together now or something?"
Finn, Kurt, and Blaine sat around the Hummel-Hudson's living room at 11 o'clock that night, each with a hot cup of coffee in his hands. Following Kurt and Blaine's embrace in the pouring rain, Blaine had been invited to spend the night at the house, (on the couch, of course). Having not slept over anywhere in over five years, Blaine had been hesitant, but the second he saw Kurt's puppy eyes looking at him expectedly, he melted and agreed. Blaine knew then, it wouldn't be the last time he saw that face.
So there he sat, in an oversized t-shirt of Finn's and too-long bottoms of Kurt's, shoulder-to-shoulder with the boy he finally had, and nervously wondering how he was supposed to answer Finn. He wanted to be together with Kurt, more than anything; and hoped the feeling was mutual. He looked sideways at Kurt, and the beautiful boy smiled at him lovingly.
"Yes, Finn. I think we just might be." Kurt answered, eyes never leaving Blaine's.
Blaine sighed, relieved. He leaned forward and placed a chaste kiss on Kurt's soft lips.
"Blaine?" A timid voice broke through their moment.
"Yeah, Finn?"
"Um," Finn looked unusually uncomfortable. "You're not going to like, forget about me, are you?"
Blaine's face softened, understanding what Finn was trying to ask. He was about to answer when he got an idea. It was probably inappropriate, but it would make Kurt laugh, so he decided to go for it. He squeezed Kurt's hand tightly, then got up and went to sit beside Finn.
Without warning, he wrapped his arms around the taller boy and puckered up his lips, moving closer to Finn's face.
"Ew! Gross! What the hell, dude?" Finn exclaimed, unwrapping himself from Blaine's grasp and moving away from his friend.
"Well, you didn't want me to forget you!" Blaine answered innocently, not even bothering to hold back the chuckle escaping his throat.
And just as Blaine suspected, Kurt began roaring with laughter, clutching his stomach as he doubled over. "Oh." gasp "My." gasp "God, Blaine! That was-" But he couldn't finish his sentence before bursting again with laughter.
Kurt's non-stop laughter caused Blaine to laugh more as well, and Blaine even caught a glance of a small smile on the corner of Finn's face.
"You know what's funny?" Finn asked, looking between the two boys.
"What?" They answered at the same time.
Finn smirked. "You guys have been 'official' for less than ten minutes and you're already acting all couple-y. It's scary."
This caused both boys to blush. Blaine cleared his throat.
"But, Finn? In all seriousness, you're still my best friend. And no, I won't ever forget about you. I plan to spend as much time with you as I do with Kurt, just like before. And we can also do more stuff together. Kurt and I may be-" Blaine paused. He wasn't sure if he should use the word that was dying to come out. He glanced at Kurt, and decided it was worth it. "-boyfriends."
He watched Kurt's face light up at the word and smiled to himself. "But I don't want anything to change between us, Finn. I won't lose one relationship just because a new one has entered my life."
Kurt sat, impressed by the way his boyfriend *mental squeal* seemed so dedicated to having both of them in his life. When Blaine finished, Kurt spoke up.
"Finn. Before Blaine and I go any further in our relationship, as your brother, I'd like to ask your permission to date Blaine. I know this is asking quite a bit of you, it being your brother and best friend but…I really like Blaine. And I'd love to have your approval in this."
Blaine nodded his agreement to Kurt's every word, and both boys stared at Finn hopefully.
Finn sat, deep in thought for a moment before standing up and pulling Kurt into a hug. "You've got it, baby brother."
Kurt sighed. "Finn, I'm older."
"Whatever." They broke apart, but Finn called to the curly haired boy still sitting on the edge of the sofa. "Come on in, Blaine. You belong in here, too."
Blaine smiled gratefully, and crossed the room to join Kurt and Finn in their brotherly hug. Finn looked between them both and nodded silently.
"I'm going to bed. I'll see you in the morning, Blaine. Kurt…don't stay up too late."
Kurt rolled his eyes. "Yes, Dad."
Finn stopped in this tracks and chuckled. He suddenly thought of a way he could get Kurt and Blaine back for Blaine's stunt earlier.
Kurt watched him, confused. "Something humorous, Finn?"
"Yep! I was just thinking that Burt's in for a real shock when he comes home and his son has a boyfriend! You guys are gonna have some explaining to do!" And he left, laughing out loud at the frozen, wide-eyed, shocked expressions left on both boys faces.
"Oh my god! My father! What are we going to tell him? He goes away for two weeks, comes back, and his only son has a boyfriend! He's going to have another heart attack! Oh my god." Kurt was pacing the living room floor, almost in panic mode.
"Kurt, Kurt, Kurt. It's fine. Breathe." Kurt took a breath as Blaine continued to calm him down, and wrap his strong arms around Kurt's wait. "But Blaine-"
Blaine held up a finger to silence Kurt. "Kurt. Don't worry. I'll do everything I can to make your father see me as worthy of you. I'll bring flowers to your doorstep. I'll ask his permission before every date. I'll even sit through the 'hurt my son and I'll hurt you' speech. I'll do it all for you, Kurt. I'd do anything for you."
And Blaine kissed him again, lips lingering against Kurt's. Kurt sighed when Blaine pulled back. "You're right. I don't have to be so worried. He will absolutely love you and all of your dapperness."
Kurt felt a new sense of reassurance, and leaned forward to kiss his boyfriend again. Blaine angled his head to deepen their kiss, while Kurt wrapped his arms around Blaine's neck. They stood there, kissing for several minutes before breaking apart due to oxygen deprivation. Blaine leaned forward and touched his forehead to Kurt's, whispering to him.
"That was one hell of a goodnight kiss."
Kurt giggled. He gave Blaine one more peck on the cheek before walking towards the steps that would separate them for the night. "Goodnight, Blaine."
Blaine stared at his gorgeous boyfriend, almost crying when he realizing how lucky he had gotten. Kurt wanted him as much as he had wanted Kurt, and that was all that mattered.
"Goodnight, Kurt."
Both boys managed to stay on their respective floors of the house all night, though neither was far from the others' thoughts or dreams.
By 8 a.m. the next morning, Kurt was already up, showered, dressed, styled, and had coffee made before Blaine even budged. Kurt went into the living room carrying two cups of coffee. He sat them on a nearby table and went over to his sleeping boyfriend. He knelt beside Blaine and nudged him gently.
"Blaine? Baby, it's time to wake up." Blaine stirred and opened one eye slowly. "Hmm, I like that."
Kurt chuckled at Blaine's raspy voice. "You like what?"
Blaine smiled. "You called me baby. Do it more often."
Kurt smirked. "We're already at pet names, Blaine?"
"Yes. I get to call you honey if I want to."
Kurt rolled his eyes, but secretly he loved it. Something about being called 'honey' instead of just 'Kurt' sent shivers all over his body. "I made you coffee."
Blaine groaned appreciatively. "You're amazing." He took a sip and moaned as the hot liquid went down his throat.
Kurt shook his head. "You sound like an addict who's just gotten a fix."
"I love coffee." was Blaine's only answer and Kurt laughed, loving that he was already learning some of Blaine's quirks.
Suddenly, Kurt remembered the reason he had woken Blaine up to begin with. "Blaine?"
"Hm?"
"I was wondering. What made you…show up last night? Here. When…I ran out of the restaurant last night, I thought that I had blown my chances and you would just think I was a crazy person. Why…what made you come here in the first place?"
Blaine pondered everything Kurt had said before answering carefully. "When you ran out last night, the first thing I wanted to do was find you, and tell you how sorry I was. I knew you were timid about relationships, but I went ahead and basically threw myself at you. I wanted to apologize for being a stupid idiot, but Finn told me to just let you calm down. He said you would probably come to me. As for why I drove here, in the storm, late at night, you can thank Santana for that."
Kurt looked surprised.
"I-" a blush crept up on Blaine's cheeks. "After you left her apartment, she asked me to come over. She must've figured I felt terrible. She…showed me something. A slip of paper. She said it fell out of your bag when you were there. It- it said how you felt about me. What you really thought. And the moment I realized that I wasn't the only one with those feelings, that was the moment I knew I had to find you, so I did."
Kurt eyed had widened in disbelief when Blaine started describing what Santana had shown him. But as Blaine continued, Kurt felt tears beginning to form in his eyes. He sniffed. "I'm not sure whether I want to hug Santana or strangle her. She um…she showed me a video of you. Singing. And it was beautiful."
Blaine's eyebrows furrowed, confused for a minute about what Kurt was talking about, when realization dawned on him. So she was filming me that day, he thought.
"Yeah, um, thanks. Did she record everything? My little speech afterward and all?" Kurt nodded. Blaine blew out a breath, not sure whether to be embarrassed or relieved.
Well, Kurt had said that he liked it. That made him feel a little better. So now, Blaine knew how Kurt felt about him, and Kurt knew how Blaine felt about him, and Santana and her devious ways were to thank for every bit of it.
"Kurt?"
"Yeah, baby?"
Blaine smiled at the name before continuing. "What do you say about paying our matchmaker a little visit today?"
Kurt sensed a plan building up in his boyfriend's mind and grinned. "Can we make it fun?"
Blaine smirked. "Oh, we're gonna make it really fun."
A/N
Thank you all for your feedback on last chapter's question! I think that since majority wouldn't mind an OC, that's what I'm going to do. Quite a few people actually wanted a Finn/Puck relationship. I have yet to decide if this pairing is cute or creepy, but it probably won't happen in my story. Sorry! I do want to have a little more of Finn and Puck renewing their friendship, though.
Anyway, thanks for reading! REVIEW!
