Hey everyone!

I know I said I was discontinuing this story due to lack of reviews and lack of inspiration, but the other it suddenly hit me some new ideas. So, I'll be updating this story again, but probably at random internals. I have another story up on that I'm quite animated with the plot. Please check it out! It's called "A Second Chance at Love"

So, I guess, sorry for the extremely late update, and here is the next chapter. Kurt finally realizes his feelings.

Enjoy! – Julia

It was nearing Christmas. After Thanksgiving break, Blaine and Kurt went back to their normal lives, both of them rehearsing their respective plays. The pair continued getting coffee together and occasionally grabbing lunch together if their schedules would allow. Their bond seemed to get stronger and Kurt was slowly opening more to Blaine and getting more affectionate when around him.

Blaine was loving this change of attitude from Kurt's part. Having always been an affectionate person, more so with those he loved, it took all that he had to not grab Kurt's hand or hug him at random intervals. And he took Kurt's opening up as his cue to be at more liberty to hug him and grab his hand, and he secretly rejoiced internally whenever Kurt wouldn't flinch or pull away. He felt that he was making progress in the Kurt department. He loved the man, and he would wait however long it took to Kurt sort out his feelings.

He already knew Kurt cared for him, but he also knew that Kurt was still struggling with trust. And he hoped he would be the one Kurt would eventually open up to and that he would be the one to help Kurt every step of the way from then on.

One morning, about a week to Christmas, Kurt asked Blaine what his plans for the holidays were. Blaine tensed and turned to his friend.

"I don't know Kurt. I think I'll just stay in. My family won't be home, and there is really nothing for me to do back in Ohio. My friends are elsewhere, I'd rather spend them here, in a city I love, then back there alone."

Kurt sounded shocked that his friend was spending Christmas alone and suddenly seemed to have an idea.

"Don't be silly. You will not be spending the holidays alone. Why don't you come back with me? We will both have a break from the show for Christmas, though I do have to return before the New Year's. I'll be in Ohio until 29th. You should come with."

"Kurt, I can't ask that of you. You hardly see your family as it is. I couldn't intrude in your family time. I know how much family is important to you" Blaine seemed shocked at Kurt's invitation, but tried to deny it nonetheless.

"Nonsense, B. I'm asking you because I want you to come. I won't allow you to spend the holidays alone. No one should spend them without friends or family." Kurt threw the full power of his blue eyes on Blaine, complete with an exaggerated pout. "Please? For me?"

Blaine laughed, finally conceding. "Okay, Kurt. I will spend Christmas with you."

On the 23rd the pair found themselves at the airport again, except this time when they got to Columbus, they rented a car to drive back to Lima instead of having Burt picking them up.

"So, let me see if I got this right. Burt is your dad, and he loves football. Carole is your step-mom and a darling. Finn is your step-brother, who is dating Rachel. They will be arriving the tomorrow, right?"

Kurt laughed. "Yes, Blaine. Don't be nervous. Everyone will love you. You have already met my dad and Finn and Rachel!"

"Yes, I've met Finn and Rachel, but I only greeted your dad. Not properly met him." Blain grumbled pouting, earning another laugh from Kurt.

"Relax, B. We're here." Kurt parked and jumped off grabbing their bags, leaving Blaine trailing behind him carrying the last of their stuff and standing awkwardly behind Kurt while he greeted his Dad.

"Hey Dad. I missed you, even though I saw you at Thanksgiving. You remember Blaine?" He asked mentioning to Blaine who was already extending his hand.

"Nice to see you again, Mr. Hummel. I hope I'm really not intruding in any family time."

Burt let out a huff while shaking Blaine's hand. "It's Burt, kid, I've told you that. And any friend of Kurt's and Finn's is always welcome here. Come on in boys, you must want to get rid of those." He said mentioning to the bags. "Kurt, Carole is in the kitchen."

Kurt put their bags in a corner and wandered into the kitchen to find his step-mom.

"Kurt! How are you, honey?" Carole quickly hugged her step-son and looked over his shoulder curiously to where Blaine was standing shifting on his feet. "And you must be Blaine. It's good to finally put aa face to the name. I'm Carole."

"Nice to meet you Mrs. Hudson-Hummel. Kurt's told me so much about you." Blaine said with a charming smile while accepting the hug Carole pulled him into as well.

"Nonsense, honey, call me Carole. Now go up to your rooms to leave your bags and freshen up. Blaine, we set up the spare bedroom for you. Kurt will show you where everything is. Kurt, dinner will be done an hour."

"It's so nice to be home. Come on, Blaine. I'll show you where the bathroom and guest room is."

Kurt grabbed Blaine by the hand and led him up the stairs toward the guest bedroom. It was a neatly decorated room, with light, bright colors, soft curtain and a queen sized bed in the middle. After certificating that Blaine would be okay there, Kurt left him to settle up and freshen up on his own and turned towards his own room.

He settled down on his bed and pondered after recent events that led to the present. How did Blaine end up in the guest room of his home in Ohio? Right, he had invited him, and had said that no one should spend holidays away from family. By that, he may have implied that Blaine is family. And he still couldn't understand why his family's approval of Blaine meant so much to him. He could try deny it, but he was pleased that his dad and Carole seem to warm up to Blaine quickly.

Kurt didn't really need to think about it. He knew the answer to everything. He wanted Blaine with him, because he wanted to be with him. Blaine had become a very important fixture in his life, and if he was to be honest with himself, he didn't want to ever have to let go of him. He had fallen in love with one Blaine Anderson. He knew and had acknowledged that he liked and cared deeply about Blaine. But now he finally realized that this care went a lot deeper then he usually cared for friends. He loved Blaine, and it was the best feeling in the world to finally acknowledge that.

It was a completely different feeling then what he had felt towards Chandler. But he knew deep inside that he had loved Chandler once and part of his heart would probably always belong to the man. But he also knew that right now, while sitting in his room with Blaine down the corridor, he loved Blaine Anderson, probably more than he had ever loved anyone else in his life. It was different from what he felt with Chandler because they were completely different people. Blaine was different from Chandler and he, himself, had grown and changed.

He was sure that the person he was now would never be able to fall for Chandler, or anyone else for that matter, the way he had fallen for Blaine. Now all he had to do was break the news to Blaine. All that was left to do was confess his feelings before it was too late. And he had the perfect plan formulated.
