Blaine was excited. He'd gone to the store and bought all sorts of decorations. They were going to have a Halloween party and invite all their old and new friends. And Kurt told him that he was responsible for turning their apartment into a Halloween paradise.

This year, Kurt would pick their costumes. He hoped they were going to be something fun.

Blaine had already passed out flyers to all his friends and emailed those he couldn't.


The day of their Halloween party, they woke up late.

It was the weekend, which meant they had the whole day to lie around and get ready for tonight.

Blaine still didn't know what their costumes were. Kurt had kept that a secret, wanting a big reveal when he did show Blaine.

"Will you show me now?" Blaine asked from his position on the couch, his head in Kurt's lap as they watched Project Runway.

"If I do, you have to wear it for the rest of the day," Kurt decided.

"Will I like it?" Blaine asked curiously.

"I like it," Kurt responded with a wicked grin.

"Now, I'm afraid of what it could be," Blaine smiled, his hand coming up behind Kurt's neck and meeting Kurt in the middle for a kiss.

"You're going to be adorable," Kurt assured, a twinkle of amusement in his eye.

"Okay, I have to see it," Blaine said, sitting up on the couch.

Kurt took Blaine's hand and led him into their playroom. He opened the armoire that held their costumes and pulled out one of the bags.

"Open it," Kurt commanded, smirking.

Blaine listened and gently took it out of its protective bag.

"A bunny?" Blaine asked dumbfoundedly.

"And I'm a carrot," Kurt said matter of factly. "I saw the costume, and I just couldn't stop imagining how adorable you would look!"

"But a bunny though?" Blaine asked again.

"Do you not like it?" Kurt asked with an edge in his voice.

"No," Blaine quickly reversed his tone. "I'm just surprised. I expected scary or reality TV."

"I considered that. But then I saw the bunny, and I had to see you pull it off," Kurt smiled. "Try it on!"

Blaine sighed, "You're lucky I love you so much."

He slipped into the bunny onesie, pulling the hood on so the ears stuck up.

"It's so much cuter than I thought," Kurt laughed, grabbing a camera off their desk and taking a few pictures.

Blaine pouted, looking even cuter.

"Baby, don't look so glum," Kurt finally said. "It isn't your costume. I just really wanted to see how cute you'd be."

"Oh," Blaine bit his lip.

Kurt went deeper into the armoire and pulled out a bag.

"This is your real costume," Kurt said wickedly.

"What is it?" Blaine asked fearfully. That didn't look like it covered very much

"You're a sexy lion," Kurt explained. "And I am a sexy lion tamer. Complete with whip."

Blaine's eyes widened when Kurt produced the whip from the armoire.

"We'll put these on when it's time to get ready," Kurt said. "For now, I'd like to cuddle with my adorable bunny."


Blaine put on his lion costume. It barely covered anything. Just four furry cuffs for his arms and legs and a furry pair of underwear. It also contained a furry mane and a metal collar with a chain.

"It's so the lion tamer can control his lion," Kurt had explained as he stared at Blaine, licking his lips.

Kurt's costume consisted of leather pants, boots, a lion tamer jacket, and a whip.

He was hardly considered dressed either.

Kurt finished up all the touches to his own costume and then went over to Blaine. He brushed Blaine's hair artfully into a mane until it looked perfect.

"You look very beautiful, baby," Kurt concluded, pecking Blaine on the lips.

"And you're gorgeous, Amour," Blaine decided, trying to capture Kurt's lips, but he pulled away.

"Go make sure everything is set up and ready. Our guests should be arriving soon."

Kurt followed Blaine out of their playroom and locked the door behind him. He didn't want anyone trying to get in there. That was his personal space with Blaine, even more so than their apartment.


"Wanky. Hummel let you wear that in front of people?" Santana asked amused.

The party was in full swing, and friends old and new showed up in full costume to enjoy the festivities.

"He picked it out actually," Blaine said defensively. "He's dressed as a lion tamer."

"You two have become nude gays, haven't you?" Santana questioned him.

"I don't think think that's really your business," Blaine said, rolling his eyes at Santana.

"You two spend way too much time together. You're starting to pick up his mannerisms," Santana accused. "That's why I'm single."

"You broke up with Brittany?" Blaine asked surprised. "Why? You seemed to really like her."

"Because long distance is hard," Quinn supplied, walking up to them with a smile.

Blaine hugged her hard. "I thought the train was horribly delayed, and you couldn't come?!"

"And miss you in such a slutty costume? Never," Quinn grinned. "I've got to see the other part of this costume. Where's Kurt?"

"He was with Elliot and Dani last time I saw him," Blaine said absently. "I think they're planning a coup to get Rachel away from the microphone."

Just then, the music turned off and Rachel look down at the microphone, confused.

Kurt, Dani, and Elliot came out of the bedroom and made their way to the little stage Blaine had constructed for karaoke. They shooed Rachel off the stage and went up themselves.

"So we've been tinkering with the idea of starting a band," Kurt explained. "And we thought we'd give you a little taste."

Elliott took the microphone from Kurt, and they performed "Applause" by Lady Gaga.

"Who's the hottie with green hair?" Santana asked.

"That's Dani. She's my friend from work," Blaine grinned knowingly. "She bats for your team."

"Kurt's costume is great," Quinn smirked. "Do you have plans for that whip later?"

"That's none of your business, Quinn Fabray," Blaine blushed.

"Those two are so vanilla, Quinn. They wouldn't even know what to do with it," Santana added.


The song Elliott was singing ended and everyone clapped. Santana took them leaving the stage as a chance to get to know "that Dani girl." Within minutes, they'd found a place to sit and Satana was stumbling over her words trying to flirt.

"Good for Dani," Blaine commented when he saw them.

"So how's Yale going?" Blaine asked, smiling at Quinn.

"The classes are tough, but I feel like a Gilmore Girl."

"No Logan yet?" Blaine teased.

"I don't think there will be. I had enough of that drama in high school," Quinn rejected.

"No drama at all?" Blaine asked in disbelief.

"Well, I am dating a Whiffenpoof," Quinn confessed.

"I know a few Whiffenpoofs. What's his name?" Blaine asked eagerly.

"Wesley Montgomery," Quinn blushed.

Blaine started laughing. "You're dating Wes?"

"Who's dating Wes?" Kurt asked as he walked over.

"Quinn's dating Wes." Blaine continued laughing.

"Does he still keep a gavel next to his bed?" Kurt asked eagerly.

"Okay, how do you two know him?" Quinn asked suspiciously.

"He was head Warbler when we went to Dalton," Blaine explained, still laughing slightly.

"He's a nice guy, if not a little...neurotic," Kurt smiled. "But I can see you two getting along."

"He is," Quinn confirmed. "But I like him."

"I'm happy for you," Blaine decided giving her a hug.

"And I'm happy for the both of you for the kinky shit I know you're planning for tonight," Quinn grinned knowingly.

"Quinn, you know I'm-" Blaine started as he blushed.

"I know, asexual. But I don't believe for a second you two aren't having sex," Quinn smirked. "Unlike most of our friends, I actually understand that it's just attraction that's different. That doesn't stop you two from humping like bunnies, you've still got an active sex drive."

Kurt gaped. "How would you even know that?"

"I've lied about sex. I know what it looks like," Quinn said, amused.


The party went on for several more hours and Blaine was able to talk to all his friends and some of Kurt's friends as well.

He was a little wary over one of Kurt's co-workers, Chase. He seemed like he wasn't all that happy to see Kurt's arm around Blaine.

Still, he remained polite, so Blaine didn't say anything about it until later when they were cleaning their apartment from the party.

"Do you think that Chase is-" Blaine started.

"He has a crush on me, yes," Kurt confirmed. "Nothing's going to ever happen with it. It's harmless, so don't worry."

"That's what I thought about Sebastian," Blaine worried.

"That cheap Ken doll rip-off was never harmless, baby."

"But that's what I mean," Blaine continued worrying.

"Chase isn't going to hurt me," Kurt reassured. "He's just some guy at the office."

Blaine nodded as they finished cleaning up their living room.

"I think we should change our sheets," Blaine said thoughtfully as they made their way into the kitchen to clean up there. "God knows who went in there. I know I saw Santana at one point."

Kurt shuddered in disgust, "We could just throw them out. I think I saw Rachel sneak in there with Brody as well."

"We'll wash them a few times," Blaine suggested. "We're college students, we can't afford to buy another set that nice."

They could, Kurt knew. But he also knew Blaine didn't really like relying on his trust fund for more than paying bills. He wanted to prove that he could earn it.

"We'll wash them," Kurt agreed. "But that doesn't mean I'm not going to bitch at our friends about it."

"I wouldn't expect you to do anything less," Blaine grinned.


A/N: I'm sorry for the long wait.
