Kurt knew that Blaine was still feeling a little insecure about their relationship. He hardly ever broke down the way that he had earlier but when he did it seemed to linger for a little longer than he cared to admit. Despite the fact that externally it appeared that Blaine was okay his boyfriend knew better.
Blaine however thought that he was hiding his feelings pretty well. Knowing that Kurt was going to be 'showing him off' he decided to look his best, that and he wanted Kurt to be proud to be with him. Besides dressing up always makes you feel a little better.
"Blaine, what are you going to wear?."
"Not sure yet babe." Blaine rummaged through his clothes, then it hit him. Grabbing his red skinny jeans he smirked as he heard Kurt's breath hitch. He spun to face his boyfriend "I know how much you like me in theses jeans so I think I'll wear them, Blaine paired them with his white belt, and a grey button down with the sleeves rolled up. Returning from the bathroom after washing the gel out of his hair he began to get dressed.
"No hair gel?" Kurt queried.
"Thought I'd forgo it for tonight."
Kurt bit his lip to stifle a groan damn him. There were two things that Kurt knew that Blaine knew about him 1) Kurt loved seeing Blaine with curly hair and 2) he loved Blaine's ass in those jeans. "Blaine" Kurt growled "how am I supposed to make it out of this apartment when you dress like that?"
"What do you mean Kurt?" Blaine blinked at his boyfriend which only added to his innocent act.
Kurt rolled his eyes and looked back at his closet. After 30 minutes of chopping and changing outfits Kurt decided on his red pea coat, white button down with a black skinny tie, black skinny jeans and white Doc Martins. At eight o'clock the four inhabitants of the house met in the lounge before heading out. After grabbing a quick bite to eat at a Diner that both Kurt and Rachel approved of they were on their way to the party. Blaine gripped Kurt's hand tighter as Rachel knocked on the door. They were greeted by a girl (about Rachel's age) with baby blue eyes and auburn hair, cut in a bob.
"Hi guys!"
"Jade, hi." Rachel hugged the girl before making her way inside.
"Jade," Kurt smiled a genuine smile at the girl "this is my boyfriend Blaine."
Jade grinned at Blaine "the infamous Blaine Anderson, I've heard a lot about you. It's great to meet you."
"You too, Blaine smiled" he decided he liked her.
"Come on in guys." Jade led Finn, Rachel, Kurt and Blaine into the living room. "Look who I found!" Jade shouted gleefully.
Kurt and Blaine did the rounds of the party. Kurt introduced Blaine to all of his classmates who seemed genuinely glad to meet him. Kurt's hand never left Blaine's and slowly Blaine's insecurities began to fade.
"So Blaine, do you think you'll be joining Kurt here?" Scott a guy from Kurt's class asked.
"Definitely! I've always wanted to live in New York but with Kurt being here, there is no other option." Blaine smiled at his boyfriend.
"Has Kurt told you what we are working on in class at the moment?" Scott grinned cheekily.
"No!" Blaine grinned at Scott.
"We're doing a concert in a couple of weeks. It's worth 20% of our final mark."
Blaine winked at Kurt "you'll do great."
"Yeah he will, he'll kick some serious ass. Blaine it was great to meet you, I'm going to go find Sophie.:" Scott hugged Kurt, smiled at Blaine and left.
Blaine turned to face Kurt "He seems really nice."
"He's lovely, was the first person to talk to me when class started, his girlfriend Sophie is an absolute sweetheart." Kurt moved closer to Blaine "Are you okay to stay a little longer?"
"Yeah, we can do that."
25 minutes later Blaine and Kurt's conversation was interrupted "Kurt, sweetheart!"
Blaine turned to see a tall light brown haired guy walking towards them, he was gorgeous.
"Fuck" Kurt swore under his breath. "Eddie this is my boyfriend Blaine." Kurt's voice was clipped and more than a little pissed off.
"Hi Eddie" Blaine smiled, a smile which Kurt noticed didn't reach his eyes.
"Oh so you are real, I thought that Kurt had made you up."
"Nope I am very real."
Eddie smirked at Blaine before turning to Kurt "Kurt I never pegged you for someone who would date a high schooler."
Blaine gritted his teeth.
"Eddie I was in High School last year. Besides who I date is none of your business."
Blaine could feel his feelings getting the better of him "I'm going to get a drink, want anything?"
Kurt looked into Blaine's eyes and saw that he needed to get away "ah yeah, diet coke thanks baby. Can you also check to see when Rachel and Finn want to leave?" Blaine briefly kissed Kurt before heading off. From across the room Finn saw that Kurt was alone with Eddie and decided to keep an eye on the situation.
"Kurt? Really? Really, that's your boyfriend?" Eddie laughed.
"Shut up Eddie."
"He's a boy Kurt" Eddie stepped towards Kurt "and you need a man." Eddie licked his lips
Kurt pulled himself up to his full height "First off Blaine is a man. More than you will ever be. Second of all; I am not now nor will I ever be interested in you and third of all you have no right to talk about the man that I love like that."
"Kurt, sweetheart I could rock your world."
Kurt laughed "please, you're pathetic and tragic, not Judy Garland tragic either; her tragedy was beautiful in a way." Kurt snapped out of his Judy Garland daydream "Stay the hell away from me. You're not the first piece of scum that has tried to come between us and you sure as hell won't be the last."
"You're so feisty" Eddie moved closer to Kurt "I like guys that put up a fight." Eddie ran has hand down Kurt's arm.
Kurt tried to take a step back but realised that he had hit the wall.
"I know that you are playing hard to get, but this is little game of cat and mouse is about to end." Eddie leaned towards Kurt and moved his lips to Kurt's.
"No! Leave me alone!" Kurt yelled, slapping Eddie across the face.
Finn, having seen everything happen pushed his way through the crowd towards Kurt but was beaten there by Blaine.
"Hey!"
Eddie turned around to see a furious Blaine staring at him. "He said no."
"But saying no and meaning it are two different things." The smarmy smirk was wiped off Eddie's face when Blaine's fist connected with his cheek.
Blaine reached out and grabbed Kurt's hand "come on baby, let's go home. You guys coming Finn?"
"Right behind you." Finn stopped briefly in front of Eddie "leave my brother alone or you'll have me and Blaine to deal with." Seeing Rachel he grabbed her by the waist and led her out of the party. As they walked down the hall they heard Jade shouting at Eddie to get out.
As they reached the street the cool air hit them "w-what happened?" Rachel clung to Finn's arm.
"Eddie" Blaine growled.
Rachel looked up Finn and shot him a nervous look. "You okay Kurt."
"Mhmm" Kurt answered his voice a little higher than usual.
"Let's go home" Finn suggested.
Everyone was silent on the way home; even Rachel. If Blaine wasn't so pissed about Eddie and Kurt wasn't so worried about Blaine and pissed at Eddie they would have noticed. Blaine felt Kurt relax once they set foot in the apartment.
Blaine wrapped his arm around Kurt's waist and pulled him closer "you okay Kurt?"
"Can we just go to my room?" Kurt whispered leaning into Blaine.
"Of course we can baby." With his arm securely wrapped around Kurt he led his stoic boyfriend to the bedroom.
Once the door closed Kurt walked to his closet and removed his coat, he then turned to face Blaine "I forgot to tell you how gorgeous you look tonight Blaine."
"Thank you baby" Blaine walked over to Kurt's I-home he selected a song and pressed play. 'At last' by Etta James began to play. "Dance with me." Blaine held out his hand.
Kurt smiled sweetly and snaked his hands around Blaine's neck. He quietly hummed along.
Blaine enclosed Kurt in his arms. "You're so beautiful Kurt."
Kurt's face flushed pink, he still couldn't believe that after all this time Blaine could still make in blush. "Blaine" he whispered "kiss me."
Blaine smiled and pressed his lips to Kurt's "I love you" he whispered before kissing him again.
"Blaine" Kurt's voice was still a whisper "I'm sorry about Eddie."
Blaine shook his head "s'fine. Are you okay though?" Blaine continued to sway from side to side.
Kurt bit his bottom lip "why do people keep kissing me when I don't want them to?"
"I don't know Kurt. But I'm going to keep kissing you until the only kisses you remember are from me." Blaine pressed Kurt against him. Moving forward he stopped just short of Kurt's lips, he felt Kurt's breath against his lips and heard a quiet whimper escaping the lips in front of him. Closing the small distance between them Blaine melded his lips to Kurt's. Kurt wrapped his arms tighter around Blaine's neck. Blaine opened his mouth and nibbled on Kurt's lower lip causing Kurt to whimper once again. Placing his forehead against Blaine's Kurt let a few tears fall from his eyes.
"Hey" Blaine whispered "don't cry Kurt." Blaine gently kissed Kurt's cheek.
"I'm just really glad that you're here." A toothy smiled fell on Kurt's face, a smile Blaine loved.
"Me too" Blaine replied his forehead still touching Kurt's "I am so happy with you Kurt."
Kurt squawked with surprise as Blaine picked him up and spun him around in circles.
"Blaaaaine!" Kurt laughed "put me down!"
"Never!" Blaine yelled as he continued to spin around in circles.
Kurt laughed a little louder "Put me down, or I'll, I'll..."
"You'll what Kurt?" Blaine asks still spinning them around.
"Umm?" Kurt just looked at Blaine and began to laugh again.
"That's what I thought." After a few more spins Blaine carefully placed Kurt on the ground.
Kurt continued to hold on to Blaine while he regained his balance and breath. "It's your birthday in two sleeps." Kurt mentioned cheekily.
"Mhmm" Blaine kissed Kurt's neck.
"W-what do you want to do for your birthday?" Kurt closed his eyes and enjoyed the sensation of Blaine breath and lips on his skin.
"What do you think?" growled Blaine.
"Besides that." Kurt rolled his eyes in mock annoyance.
Blaine pulled back too look in his boyfriend's eyes "I don't care, as long as we're together."
"Low standards, I like it."
Blaine gasped "Kurt Hummel, I happened to have exceptionally high standards." Blaine pouted "It's not my fault you're perfect."
Kurt snorted and headed to his closet to grab his PJ's "let's watch a movie."
Blaine bounded over to the Dvd's and grabbed 'Roman Holiday.'
"Good choice sweetie." Kurt smiled at Blaine.
"Thanks." Blaine quickly got the movie ready before changing into his PJ's.
"Ready?" Kurt asked from his position on the bed.
"Of course." Blaine jumped on the bed and crawled into Kurt's arms.
They'd be just fine.
