A/N: Another massive thank you to everyone sticking with this story. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy writing it!

And here's an interesting fact about me:
I HATE the episode 'Blame It On The Alcohol'
Not because of Blaine,
Not because of Klaine,
But because of Rachel's dress.
I kid you not.

Title: The Light

Summary: Kurt and Blaine disappear for a chat during Finn's talk to Rachel about drunk archetypes.

Era: Blame It On The Alcohol

Perspective: 3rd person omniscient

Prompt: Santana (by Broken Gold)

...

It was as Kurt dragged him away from Finn that Blaine whispered, "I want you."

Preceded by, "This is the best party ever!" and followed by another miserable, "He's just so tall," the words were easy to miss, but Kurt heard them and froze in his tracks.

"What?" he breathed, his mind whirling dizzily.

"Wha'?" Blaine mimicked, utterly clueless.

Looking desperately for an escape, Kurt pulled Blaine through a doorway, into a dark downstairs bathroom.

"Whe'e light gone?" Blaine asked. Then his gaze fixed on Kurt. "Found't."

And, just as he began to lean in, Santana fell through the doorway.

Having watched 'Blame It On The Alcohol' as research for this fic, can I please draw everyone's attention to Blaine's expression in the shot of Rachel leaning on Kurt just before 'Don't You Want Me'? He's in the bottom left corner of the screen, and I think it perfectly conveys his real opinion of Rachel's kiss.

And please accept this apology for last chapter's rant.

By way of explanation, let's just say that I have this little demon that lives inside my head, and it likes to tear me down occassionally by informing me that I'm worth absolutely nothing in the big scheme of things. Of course, the demon's right, but that's something that I can usually avoid thinking about. Unfortunately, right now, stress and loneliness are kind of making me an easier target than usual. So, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to take it out on you guys. Or on Klaine. Because I know you're all awesome. And, obviously, I kind of think Klaine is too.

Plus, I owe a very special thank you to MissMarauder93, aalikane, IssayRedbird, HpJellicleCat and almendrawoodhouse. You are all absolutely wonderful people, and thank you so much for reminding me that I'm not too bad either.
