10. Red Carpets and After Parties

"Oh, man! These red carpet things kill me."

"I know, but it's your movie. You are supposed to be here, so smile, please?"

"Yeah, alright. You look great, by the way."

Alexis was wearing a long purple strapless gown and she added just a simple small diamond pendant, her hair was wavy and she had a light make up.

"I'd better look great. This is a Versace and you paid for it. Actually this paid for it"

She pointed to the red carpet and the lights, and the photographers. Blaine smiled and gave her a soft peck on a cheek. Kurt arrived just in time to see that show and made a face, trying to go unnoticed. It was already a month that he started working for Blaine and the flirting just got heavier each day, but he learned how to react to that. He still had to work out Blaine and Alexis' PDA, though, but Blaine looked stunning: he was wearing a blue suit, with a white shirt and a red tie. They picked together that outfit at Andrea's boutique and they were both proud of it.

"Hey, Kurt!"

"Hey! You look great!" He looked at Alexis. "Both of you!"

"Thanks, you too."

"Well, just something I put together quickly."

Kurt had a simple black suit with a white shirt and a black tie, classic and simple, but still fabulous – as he liked to say.

"So, let's get the party started, right?"

"Wait!"

Kurt stopped Blaine and started fixing his tie.

"Chin up!"

"Yes, sir!"

"It's a little loose."

Kurt concentrated on Blaine's tie, but felt the boy's eyes on him. When he was done, he tapped on the tie knot.

"All set!"

Blaine was smiling at him, he didn't say a word: just stared and smiled.

"What?"

"Nothing."

"Seriously, what? I have something on my nose, don't I?"

Kurt started rubbing the tip of his nose and Blaine burst out laughing.

"No, Kurt. It's just…"

Blaine shook his head and started queuing for his photos on the red carpet.

"Just, what?"

He turned and lowered his voice.

"You're cute when you're all focused on something."

Kurt smiled and then helped Alex with her dress.

"Blaine Anderson, you old dog!"

"Sam Evans, long time no see."

A tall, muscled, blond guy hugged Blaine – the blond was followed by two others tall guys that immediately introduced themselves.

"Blaine this is Noah Puckerman."

"Hey man, great movie!"

"Nice to meet you, Noah."

"And this is…" But Sam was interrupted by Blaine himself.

"David! Oh, man, how are you?"

Blaine hugged the tall, black guy and they both smiled.

"What are you doing here?"

"Actually I'm Sam's lawyer."

Sam nodded.

"It's great to see you, really."

Alexis and Kurt were just looking the scene, waiting for Blaine to introduce them.

"Guys, this is Kurt Hummel."

They shook hands and exchanged "nice to meet you's".

"Of course Sam and David already knows Alex."

"Of course! It's nice to see you again."

Sam said and smiled. Kurt noticed the red on Alexis' cheeks, not so cold after all. But then he noticed that guy, Noah, looking at him. A weird, curious look. Kurt shrugged and got closer to Blaine.

"Okay, guys, what do you say we head to the coolest after party and get drunk?"

A loud chorus of yeeeeeah lift up and they started moving towards the cars.

Outside the place where the after party was held, there was a huge crowd just waiting for actors and celebrities to show up – Kurt watched it from inside the car and was about to faint. He was freaking out a little bit, Blaine noticed and squeezed his shoulder.

"Don't worry, they're not going to kill you."

"Are you sure? It looks like they're the lions and we're pieces of meat."

Alexis smiled and patted Kurt's leg.

"It's not a scene from Mean Girls, Kurt. Relax, it's gonna be okay."

That said Alex and Blaine exchanged a glance and took each other's hand, ready to face the crowd. Kurt took a deep breath and followed them.

Kurt was sitting on a comfortable couch, enjoying his drink, Alex was right next to him doing the same – while the boys were on the dance floor, making complete fools of themselves.

"How's your drink?"

Kurt was almost shocked that Alex was talking to him, even though things have been going smoothly between them, but they weren't best friends yet.

"It's fine. How's yours?"

"Worst thing I've ever drank."

She smiled and then looked at the boys, sighing.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah. Just had too many drinks, I guess."

Kurt wanted to say something to her, but he couldn't, unless he wanted to reveal that he overheard what she and Blaine had said in New York.

"I think I'm just gonna go home."

She got up but their legs were shaking, so she just sat down again, laughing.

"Great. And now I'm drunk!"

Kurt was pretty embarrassed by the whole situation, but he got closer to her and poured a glass of water.

"Here"

"Thanks."

She smiled and drank all the water, meanwhile Blaine was looking at them and Kurt nodded towards Alex. He was by her side in seconds.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm drunk."

"Ouch. Come on, let's get out of here."

Sam, Noah and David got back at the table.

"Is she okay?"

"Yes, Sam, she just had too much to drink. I'm taking her home."

Blaine was about to take her hand, but Alex moved aside and got up by herself.

"I don't want to ruin the party for you, stay. I'll call a cab."

Kurt stood up and helped her.

"I'll take her."

"No, Kurt, it's your first party – plus your friends are coming."

Oh, right. He convinced Alex to give him tickets for Penny and Amy. Kurt almost forgot about that, maybe he had too much to drink, too.

"You both stay. I'm taking her home, I was about to go anyway."

"Sam, you don't have to do this."

Kurt looked at Sam and Alex and smiled. They liked each other, didn't they? He suddenly felt sad for Alex, after all, it wasn't easy for her – more for Blaine, sure – but she couldn't date anyone either. So he just decided to help her.

"Well, see? Thanks to Sam everybody's happy!"

Blaine looked at Kurt, who smiled and nodded, he then looked at Sam who was smiling too.

"Okay. Are you fine with this, Alex?"

She looked at Blaine and nodded, shyly. Sam took her arm and slipped it under his.

"Let's go."

They were out of sight in a few minutes, and Kurt smiled, satisfied with his work.

"What are you smiling for?"

"N-nothing. It's just…" Then he spotted the girls: saved by the bell. "Look! Penny and Amy are here!"

They looked gorgeous: Penny in a one-shoulder green short dress with black shoes and accessories, and Amy in a strapless short red dress with a ballerina like skirt, with silver shoes. Elegant and classy, Kurt totally approved their looks right before he had to go, obviously, but the ensemble looked perfect.

"Hey girls, you both look lovely."

Blaine kissed them both and Kurt was happy to notice that Penny has gotten used to Blaine's presence and demonstration of affection. The girls dragged Kurt on the dance floor and they were soon followed by Blaine, Noah and David.

"I didn't know this was the absolut hunks after party!"

"Penny, please, behave!"

"I'm thinking no more absolut vodka for you, Penny"

"Oh, come on guys! We're here to have fun!"

Penny took another drink for a tray passing by and cheered with no one particularly, the glass was empty in three seconds. Amy looked at Kurt, they both shrugged and took a glass too.

"Cheers!"

They emptied them quickly and laughed. Kurt didn't even notice when Noah got closer to him and started dancing, more like rubbing against him. He smiled and tried to put some distance between them, and Blaine helped him grabbing him and taking him away from Noah. Kurt was thrown next to Penny and Amy again.

"What the hell just happened?"

"That guy with the Mohawk was trying to dry-hump you, and Blaine got jealous."

"Sssh, Penny, shut up!"

"What's the story with you and that assistant of yours, Anderson?"

"What story, Puckerman?"

"Are you fucking that sweet ass, or what?"

"Not that it's any of your business, but I'm straight."

"Yeah, me too. But you can't seriously call that a man, right?"

"Shut up! You don't even know him!"

"Well, I'd like to, if you know what I mean."

Blaine tried to stay calm, but he seriously wanted to punch the man right in the face. They were back at their table, having a beer, while David, Kurt and the girls were still dancing. While Penny and Amy were fighting to get David's attention, Kurt was moving smoothly – following the rhythm of the music, swaying his hips left and right. That was really sexy, Blaine swallowed hard.

"Don't tell me you don't want a piece of that."

"I suggest you stop that, Noah."

"Or what?"

"My patience kinda has limits."

"Uuuuh I'm shivering."

Blaine made his neck pop, and got up. He didn't want to get in an argument, so he drank the last of his beer and went to Kurt.

"We're going home!"

"What?"

"Come on, get the girls, we're out of here."

"O-okay."

Kurt made a sign to the girls and they followed him, immediately.

"What happened?"

"I got bored, okay?"

Kurt had never seen Blaine so furious, so they all jumped quickly in the car when Elijah arrived. No one said a word all the way home, Kurt noticed that Blaine was nervous because he was rubbing his hands on his legs all the time. He fought the instinct to rest his hands on Blaine's and mentally prayed Elijah to drive faster.

As soon as they were outside their building, Penny and Amy were out of the car, saying a quick goodbye to Blaine, who just waved his hand and smiled. Kurt was about to climb off the car, when Blaine rested his hand on Kurt's leg.

"Kurt, wait!"

"Uh?"

"Would you come home with me?"

Kurt was about to choke. He looked outside, but the girls were already gone, he looked at Blaine's hand on his leg, then he looked at Blaine.

"I know it's late, but I thought maybe we could go through tomorrow's schedule. I really need a distraction right now."

"Oh, okay."

"I know it's like working overtime, but I'm sure we can tell Alex to…"

"Blaine, I said okay. Relax."

Blaine exhaled loudly, like he was relieved by Kurt's answer.

"Let me just tell the girls, okay?"

"Sure."

I'm going home with Blaine. – K.

Go, Kurt! – P&A.

We need to work on tomorrow's schedule. – K.

Yeah, sure. Is that how you gays call it? – P&A.

We're almost there. I'm turning the phone off. – K.

Yeah, don't want nothing to disturb right? – P&A.

Shut up! – K.

Go get yourself some! – P&A.

"Do you want some wine?"

Blaine was pouring some red wine in a glass.

"N-no, thanks. I thought we had to work."

"Sure. I'm not saying we have to get drunk, Kurt. It's just a little wine."

"Seriously, I had too much to drink at that party."

"Okay, then. More for me."

Blaine took a seat next to Kurt and rested his head on Kurt's shoulder.

"Okay but don't drink too much. You have to be bright for your interviews and photoshoot tomorrow."

"Relax, mum. I've done this millions of times."

Blaine got closer to Kurt and started brushing his nose against Kurt's neck, then he gave him a light kiss in the cavity where shoulders and neck meet. Kurt shrugged.

"Blaine, this has to stop!"

"I don't think so."

"Yes, I think so!"

Kurt moved away from Blaine, still having to determine if he was angry, aroused or just tired. Maybe it was just a combination of the three.

"Why?"

"Because I know!"

"You know what?"

"I know that you're gay and I know that Alexis is just your beard!"

Blaine didn't even flinch when Kurt told him, he just smiled.

"Aren't you happy?"

"Happy? Happy that you're still in the closet? Or happy that you lied to me?"

"Technically you never asked. And by the way, you cannot deny what we have here, so you should be happy that I'm gay!"

"I-" Kurt stopped. Was he supposed to be happy? "I don't know, Blaine."

Blaine got up and took Kurt's hands in his. Kurt didn't move, he couldn't, he was paralyzed by Blaine's eyes. Those beautiful hazel eyes that were looking right into Kurt's, he felt numb. That's why when Blaine got closer and leaned in to kiss him, he didn't do anything. The apartment fell silent and the only thing Kurt could hear was his fast breathing, or maybe it was Blaine's. The kiss was gentle and sweet, but Kurt felt like his head was about to explode. After a few seconds, Blaine broke the kiss and looked at Kurt.

"I like you…a lot."

Kurt's heart made a somersault, he was happy and confused, he couldn't understand much. So he clicked his tongue and rolled his eyes.

"Well, there's nothing we can do about that, isn't it?"

"Why? I think there's a lot we could do about that, actually."

Blaine kissed Kurt's neck, and the boy instinctively threw his head back, but he immediately came back to senses and pushed Blaine aside.

"Blaine everybody thinks you're straight. We can't!"

"Fuck everybody! I want you."

Kurt felt chills all over his body. Blaine smiled at him, and grabbed his hand.

"I know you want this too."

Kurt lowered his head, his eyes closed, but Blaine lifted it up with a finger under Kurt's chin.

"Yeah, okay. You're right."

"What?"

"What, what?"

"I'm right about what?"

Blaine had a malicious smile on, Kurt sighed and gave a little push to Blaine.

"I want…this."

He waved his hands covering the space between him and Blaine, who smiled, triumphantly.

"But how can this work? We can't even be seen together."

"Who said anything about being seen."

So? What do you think?
