Chapter 11

Blaine was dazed, sitting on the couch in Kurt's living room. He didn't know what to do, or what to think. Ever since his outburst earlier, everything had been a haze. Kurt had let go of his hand once they were in the car, but he could still feel it there. He could still feel how perfect their hands had fitted together.

Blaine bit his lip and stared at Kurt's bedroom door. The other man had disappeared inside it as soon as they got back. He hadn't said a word to Blaine, so Blaine assumed he didn't want to talk.

When he had told Kurt that he loved him earlier, he had felt relieved, like a weight had been lifted from his chest, but that weight was back in full force now. Not that he regretted saying it, never, but because Kurt obviously didn't feel the same way. He might have had feelings for Blaine, but they obviously didn't run as deep as Blaine's did for Kurt.

Muffled sounds came through the door, but he could only understand a word or a sentence here and there. He assumed Kurt had called his dad; the two were extremely close. He had discovered that over the last few months.

"Seventeen, Dad!"

"I don't know."

"Loves me."

Maybe they were discussing a new place for Blaine to stay. He knew Kurt, and even if his feelings didn't run as deep as Blaine's, there still were some, and he knew Kurt would never throw him out or leave him helpless. Maybe he was asking Burt if Blaine could stay with him and Carole for a while. Blaine could be okay with that. He understood that Kurt wanted to put some distance between them. He could live with that. If he could get by on his own for a while, if he could show Kurt that he wasn't just a seventeen year old kid who had decided to leave his home, but that he was mature, a hard worker, and that he could provide for them, maybe then Kurt would give him a chance. Maybe Kurt would give in to whatever he was feeling, and be with Blaine.

If there was one thing Blaine was sure of, it was that Kurt was it. There would be no one else for him. Kurt was, however ridiculous it might sounds, the love of his life, and if he had to wait until he was 18, 20 or even 30 before Kurt would see that, he would, because Kurt was worth waiting for. He was the sweetest, kindest man Blaine knew. He could see himself growing old with Kurt; having a family together; raising children. He wanted to tell Kurt all of that before, but he hadn't. He knew Kurt still saw him as a naïve 17-year-old, so he had refrained. He had told him parts of his fantasies, but not all of them. He had told him what he thought Kurt could take, what might make Kurt willing to give them a chance, but even that had been too much apparently.

"Blaine?"

Blaine's head shot up at the soft voice as Kurt made his way into the living room.

"I'm sorry for disappearing on you. I was freaking out and I had to talk to someone."

Blaine nodded. "Your dad."

"My dad," confirmed Kurt.

Blaine sighed. He wished he was the one Kurt would come and talk to.

"So…" Blaine raised his eyebrows quizzically. "What's the plan?"

"There's no plan, Blaine." Kurt sighed, making Blaine wonder what he had talked with his dad about. He had been sure Kurt would come with a solid plan of Blaine moving to Burt and Carole's until he could find another place to stay.

"You're not throwing me out?"

"What? No! Of course not!"

"Oh." Blaine's mind was coming up blank. He had no idea what was going to happen now.

"Blaine, I need you to understand I care about you, so much. You're my best friend."

Blaine smiled softly. "You're mine as well."

Kurt looked him straight in the eyes, making Blaine's heart skip a beat or two. "I called my dad, because I was freaking out. You told me you loved me, Blaine."

Blaine opened his mouth to respond, but Kurt shook his head. "Please let me finish?" So Blaine nodded.

"I told you about Chandler, so you know I've never been in love, and it scares me. It scares me so much." Blaine's eyes widened when he realized what Kurt was implying. "So I called my dad, and I told him everything. How you're the most amazing person I've ever met; how we've been dancing around our feelings—or well, I have—for a few months now; and how no matter what my brain tells me, my heart is taking over. I told him how afraid I was. The fact is still you're 17, a minor, even though you don't act like any of my students. If anyone found out it would cause a huge scandal. And what I'm even more afraid of, how you are so sure this is it for you. I don't want to hold you back. I don't do casual relationships; I want someone to share my life with."

"You're not holding me back."

"Blaine…"

"No, please, Kurt," pleaded Blaine. "Let me say this, and then I'll listen again. You're not holding me back. I don't want casual either. I told you, I want a home with you, a family." Maybe he was coming on too strong again, so he quickly changed subject. "I realize the age could be a problem for others, but if it's not for us, then that's all there is. We'll keep it quiet until I turn 18. I don't care; it's only three more months anyway, as long as I have you." He only hoped Kurt could see that.

"You wanna know what my dad said?"

Blaine nodded.

"He said that he was an extremely lucky man, not to have only found my mom when he was younger, but also to have found Carole years later. He said real love doesn't happen for everyone, and he was lucky enough to have it twice."

Blaine frowned at this. It was lovely to hear how happy Burt was with Carole, but he couldn't really see the point.

"And then he said that if I thought I found something similar, even if I wasn't sure yet, I shouldn't fight it, I should grab it, and never let it go."

"Kurt?" Blaine felt like his heart was about to jump out of his chest. His breathing started to become heavier, and he wasn't sure if he was dreaming or if the next sentence leaving Kurt's mouth was real.

"I tried fighting, but it didn't work, and earlier when you told me you loved me, all I could think was how much I love you, too."

Fireworks. It was like fireworks when he heard Kurt say those words. His smile broadened and his eyes shone brightly. He could feel Kurt setting his hand on his cheek, rubbing his thumb along his jaw line.

"We'll have to be quiet until you turn 18."

"Sure." Blaine leaned against Kurt's hand and closed his eyes.

"And I know this is stupid, and nobody except us will know, but I want us to keep everything above the waist until you are at least 18. If anyone finds out, I don't want them to have any more reason to go against us."

"Okay." Blaine could understand Kurt's reasoning, and even though he loved the man, he wasn't sure he wanted to jump in bed with him right away. He hadn't even had his first kiss yet. Speaking of which… "Kurt?"

"Yes?"

"You once told me my first kiss should be special, with someone I care about." He opened his eyes and was met with Kurt's staring right back at him. Kurt nodded, telling him he remembered. "Will you be my first kiss?"

"Gladly," came the murmured response, and before Blaine realized what was happening, Kurt's lips were pressed against his own. He was shocked, to say the least. He had not expected Kurt to agree so easily after everything. His lips felt soft and smooth against his own. He could feel Kurt putting a slight pressure in the kiss, and before he could react, the pressure and the lips were gone.

"Blaine?" Kurt asked, confused. Probably because of the lack of response he had gotten. "Everything okay?"

Blaine slowly opened his eyes with a dazed look. He looked at Kurt's concerned face and smiled broadly. "I love you." With that he put on of his hands against the back of Kurt's neck to pull him back and connect their lips again. It was Kurt who was surprised this time, but he quickly caught on and started kissing Blaine back. It wasn't like before, where Kurt was tentatively pressing their lips together. No, this was way more. Their lips moved together this time, and Blaine captured Kurt's bottom lip between his and sucked softly on it, making Kurt gasp and push against him, his free arm circling around Blaine's waist, pulling them close together. Blaine pulled back for air after a moment, but Kurt groaned in protest and followed Blaine's lips, pressing their mouths back together instantly. When their lips met for the third time, Blaine was practically sitting on Kurt's lap, his mind blank except for one thought. This was one hell of a first kiss, and he couldn't wait to start scratching all his other firsts with Kurt off his list.

So, did it live upto expectations?

The story will be 18 parts, an epilogue (which I still have to write) and a smutty one-shot that didn't fit into the story, but I wanted to write anyway, because it is a fill for the GKM after all… So basically, it's 20 parts.

Thanks for all your nice replies! I'm getting more and more replies by the week, and well, just, thank you! It means the world to me. I love writing this, and I can't believe it's almost over.

THANK YOU!
