Kurt bit his lip, glancing at his watch. It was half eight and there was still no sign of Blaine. Kurt knew Blaine probably just decided he had something better to do but he couldn't help but feel a little worried about his where abouts and...well a little hurt to be honest. Kurt had a crush on Blaine, there wasn't even any point trying to lie to himself. Maybe even something a little bit stronger but it didn't matter. Blaine obviously had other things to do then spend time with him and even if he didn't, he wouldn't be interested in a pathetic little human like him. They were of a different species anyway, how would that work? It was like a kitten falling in love with a tiger.
Kurt had already showered, done his homework and was snuggled and comfy in his bed. He had nothing to do but to maybe wait around a little longer for Blaine to turn up, possibly read a book or something but that didn't really sound that appealing either. Blaine sounded appealing.
"Kurt?"
Kurt jumped a little as Blaine rushed through his door, "Blaine, what...?"
"I'm sorry, I just um...ran into a little trouble," Blaine apologized.
"Trouble? What kind of...What happened to your eye?" Kurt frowned, noticing the way it was starting to turn a shade of purple.
Blaine just shook his head, "Nothing, I'm fine."
"No your not, come here," Kurt patted the space next to him, "Let me see."
"Kurt I'm fine, don't fuss."
Kurt glared at him, "Blaine Anderson get your ass over here right now."
Blaine laughed and sighed, "Alright, alright."
He sat on the edge of Kurt's bed but Kurt made a grab for him, pulling him closer before throwing off his comforter so he could kneel beside Blaine properly as he started assessing the damage, "What happened?"
"Nothing."
"It was obviously something Blaine."
"It's nothing for you to worry about."
Kurt reached forward and brushed his finger over Blaine's eye, frowning when he winced back from it, "You should put some ice on it, I'll get some..."
"No!" Blaine cried, making Kurt jump, "I...I mean, I don't want...just stay with me?"
Kurt eyebrows raised in surprise but he nodded, "Okay."
"I think I just need some affection," Blaine hummed, burring his face into the side of Kurt's neck, "Is this okay?"
Kurt couldn't say he wasn't surprised by Blaine's action but he nodded and placed his hand on Blaine's upper back, pulling him a little closer, "Are you okay?"
Blaine nodded, "Better now," He sighed, breathing hot breath over Kurt's neck, "Was your day okay?"
"It was...okay, just so slow," Kurt complained, as he started rubbing his hand over Blaine's back in little circles.
"I've been waiting to see you all day," Blaine admitted, and Kurt swore he could feel the skin of Blaine's cheeks get hotter.
Kurt bit his lip, "Me too. And Rachel was driving me crazy."
Blaine chuckled, "Ah, the famous Berry determination, what about?"
"Apparently Dylan keeps asking her questions and stuff," Kurt muttered grumpily.
Blaine froze, "But you still don't...you don't like him right?"
Kurt raised an eyebrow a little in surprise at Blaine reaction, "No, I don't."
"Is there someone you do like?" Blaine asked curiously.
Kurt bit his lip, "Maybe," He breathed, "But he'd never like me back."
"How do you know?" Blaine hummed, "Any guy would be lucky to have you."
"He just wouldn't be interested in me, I'm pathetic compared to him. I'm a kitten and he's a tiger," Kurt sighed a little sadly but shrugged, "It doesn't matter though."
Blaine sighed loudly himself.
"Are you sure you're okay?" Kurt asked, "You seem a little down and..."
"Clingy? I know, I'm sorry," Blaine sighed, moving to sit up, "But this is pretty much the only physical contact I get."
Blaine watch Kurt frown heavily, "What do you mean?"
"My parents don't really have time for me at home," Blaine explained reaching out to take Kurt's hand because he needed to at least have a small amount of contact to fill the aching whole in his chest.
"Blaine.."
Blaine held up his free hand, "It's okay, I actually kind of prefer it that way anyway."
"Why?"
"Me and my parents don't exactly have see eye to eye," Blaine shrugged, "I think I'd rather just stay away from them."
Kurt frowned, "Blaine that's..."
"I don't need them," Blaine said firmly, "I'm better of without them."
"Blaine..."
"I have you now right?" Blaine asked.
Kurt let out a breath, "Yeah...yeah you have me now."
Blaine smiled and rested his head back on Kurt's shoulder, memorizing the feeling of Kurt wrapping his arms around him again, "You just kind of get used to it, you know?"
"Yeah, but that doesn't make it right."
"Exactly." Blaine voice turned a little frustrated.
Kurt's eyebrows pulled in in confusion at the tone,"What?"
"When you get picked on 'I'm used to it' is not an answer Kurt."
Kurt flushed and ducked his head, "How do you know...?"
"That's always you're answer," Blaine sighed, "It's wrong, you shouldn't be used to it."
"It's true though, I..."
"Well make it untrue then."
"I will, when I move to New-York."
Blaine nodded slightly, "And I'll be here for you until then...So who's this tiger you're so fond of?"
"No-one."
"Well it must be someone to make an impression on the ice prince here," Blaine chuckled, his breath hot against Kurt's neck.
Kurt hummed a little, "Why do you want to know anyway?"
"So I can kick his ass," Blaine joked.
"What?" Kurt let out a little laugh.
"Well then there will be less competition." Blaine explained, his voice turning a little more careful.
"Competition?" Kurt repeated, sounding confused.
"Uh-huh, for you."
"Me?" Kurt laughed, "There is none."
"Ohh, I wouldn't be so sure." Blaine hummed gently.
"What does that mean?"
"I know a few people," Blaine breathed.
Kurt raised an eyebrow in doubt, "Really? And who might that be?"
"Dylan...and...someone else."
"Who?"
Blaine paused for a second. He was sure Kurt liked him back, but that didn't mean that Kurt wanted to be with him. I mean, he was still wasn't human. And he wasn't sure he could handle being turned down by Kurt, that gap in his chest would probably just be ripped open and swallow him like a black hole.
"I don't..." Blaine sighed loudly, "I'm not sure you want to know."
"Of course I do," Kurt squeezed Blaine's shoulders.
"He's liked you for a while, about ten years actually."
"Ten years? Who..."
"Me, Kurt."
Blaine felt Kurt freeze above him and instantly regretted his decision to tell him, he pulled Kurt a little closer and took a deep inhale of his familiar scent before pulling away to look at Kurt's face. He looked dazed and confused and his eyes were bright and open wide.
There was a moment of tense, awkward silence before he managed to stutter, "W...What?"
Blaine was sure his cheeks had never been redder, "I like you. A lot actually...why else would I have hung around for ten years?" Blaine let out an awkward laugh that sounded more like he was choking.
"That's why...," Kurt faded off.
"Well I wanted to keep an eye out for you as well."
Kurt's head snapped up, "You think I can't look after myself?"
"What? No Kurt...of course you can."
Kurt let out a sharp, angry sigh, "Why the fuck can't anything normal happen to me?"
Blaine winced, suddenly feeling horribly guilty, "I'm sorry."
Kurt shook his head, "I don't understand, you...so you've liked me for ten years?"
"Um...I guess yeah, although I didn't really realize it at first."
"But...I was, like...eight what are you...do you like never age or something? Are you stuck as a teenager?"
Blaine shook his head, "No I was seven."
Kurt winced a little, "Well I suppose that's better then a teenager falling in love with an eight year old."
"Hmm, much better," Blaine agreed.
"Is that why you suddenly popped up?"
"What, me finally finding the courage you ask you out?...No, no that's not the reason. It was actually kind of an accident."
"An accident, what do you mean?"
"I didn't mean to talk to you like that, it's just...when you like someone you want to look after them right? And when...it happened, before I even knew what I was doing I was stood in front of you." Blaine tried to explain, "You're face, it was just...I couldn't just stand there and watch."
"So if Dave had never kissed me and threatened my life, you wouldn't be here right now?"
"Ah...I don't know, maybe. It was getting harder to resist," Blaine admitted.
"But, if you like me, why didn't you talk to me? I mean...making a guy think he's going crazy isn't the best technique there Blainers."
"Blainers?" Blaine laughed, "I know, it's...complicated. I was just...scared."
"What were you scared off?"
"It's kind of a long story," Blaine sighed.
Kurt looked at him pointedly to continue.
"I don't know if you wanna know."
"Look, I'm not going to make a decision on anything if I have no idea what the hell I'm getting into," Kurt snapped, "So just...tell me, God okay. I've had enough of you tip-toeing around me. I'm not a little doll, I'm not going to brake, why can't you just tell me?"
Blaine groaned, "I don't think...I know you're strong Kurt, You're the strongest person I know."
"Then why can't you tell me anything?"
"Because I'm terrified! Absolutely terrified Kurt, you have no idea how much you mean to me. Your everything, if you reject me...I...I can't lose you." Blaine's eyes turned a little wet and glassy and Kurt was scared he was going to start crying.
"You won't loose me," He said firmly, "I promise, I like you, but I can't just...do this without knowing anything about you, apart from your obsession with bow-ties and 'Harry Potter'."
Blaine buried his head in his hands, "Okay. Okay," His voice slightly muffled.
There was a slight paused in which Blaine took a few deep breathes before he looked up from his hands with a scared expression on his face. He gave Kurt a weak smiled before biting his bottom lip between his teeth, "Do I have to do this now?"
"Blaine..." Kurt sighed a little and lent forward, "Do you know how much I've been thinking about this?"
Blaine shook his head and Kurt laughed.
"A lot Blaine, I've been thinking about this a lot. And I don't care what you are, judging you on what you are, is the same as judging you on your sexuality. It's wrong," Kurt put his hand on Blaine's knee, "I'm not going to do that to you...but, there is something that might change my view a little."
Blaine froze, looking up at Kurt with terrified eyes, "W...What?"
"You're not a vampire are you? Because I'm not sure I'm okay with my life turning into 'Twilight'," Kurt laughed and squeezed Blaine's knee.
"Hm, no, I'm not nearly as sparkly," Blaine gave a nervous laugh.
"Werewolf?"
"Ha-ha, No."
"Witch...or wizard or whatever?"
"Nope, neither of them."
"Are you going to tell me?"
"If you don't care, why does it matter?"
"Because...wouldn't you want to know if you were in my situation?"
Blaine sighed, "You have it easy."
Kurt raised an eyebrow, "What does that mean?"
"Nothing, I just...I wish I was human that's all," Blaine grumbled.
Kurt nodded a little before he ducked his head, chewing on his bottom lip.
"Are you okay?" Blaine asked.
"I...do you really like me?"
Blaine's cheeks turned scarlet, "I...I...Yeah."
"Oh," Kurt breathed, biting his lip.
"What...What did you mean before? About, 'getting into this'?" Blaine asked curiously.
"I like you too," Kurt's voice turned to a whisper, "But...I don't know if...I don't know what you are."
"I thought it didn't matter?"
"It doesn't."
"So...do you wanna go out with me sometime?"
"I...I don't know..."
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything." Blaine suddenly decided, his decision bursting out of him.
Kurt's eyes widened, "...Okay, but...why can't you just tell me now?"
"Because, it's getting late and my parents will cut of my head," Blaine chuckled.
His eyes were brighter and his smile was bigger then Kurt had ever seen it before. He looked...taller, as though a weight that had been pushing him down had suddenly been lifted of his shoulders.
Kurt laughed as well.
"So you'll go out with me?" Blaine asked, hopping to his feet.
"Yeah...yeah, I'll go out with you," Kurt laughed a little in disbelief as the words left his lips. He was going on a date with that non-human presence that had been stalking him for ten years.
Blaine grinned and lent down to press a kiss to Kurt's forehead, "I'll see you soon."
"Bye," Kurt breathed.
A/n: I know it's been ages, sorry about that as well but lifes crazy right now. Oh and sorry there's so much conversation in this chapter.
