"I can't believe how much I miss you right now," Kurt said, pouting into his cell, even though he knew Blaine couldn't see him.

"I know," Blaine sighed back, "but we'll be able to see each other loads once this promotional tour is over."

"I know, that just seems so far away."

"Are my naked pictures not enough to keep you going?" Blaine joked.

"Not when I know what the real thing is like!" Kurt laughed before continuing seriously, "Listen, Blaine, I really appreciate how good you're being about the whole lack of sex thing."

"You're worth the wait, Kurt." Blaine said, simply. "So, now that my song's out, I've still got a bunch of promotional stuff to do but the charts are out in a few days' time. Did you want to maybe meet up and listen to the countdown together? We can celebrate or commiserate together, depending on the results?"

"That sounds good, I'll look forward to celebrating with you." Kurt smiled, not even choosing to consider the commiseration option. He had no doubt that Blaine was going to do well.

The next few days were awful. Things at work were less stressful for Kurt but, if anything, at that moment, it made it worse because he was bored and it meant the days dragged on even longer than they would've done. On top of that, every so often, he caught Blaine's song on the radio, or part of an interview he was doing and missed him even more. He wanted to just reach into the TV and hug him but, obviously, he couldn't so he had to just wait.

For Blaine it was almost the opposite. Not that he wasn't missing Kurt but he was just so busy that he didn't get a chance to breathe. On the plus side, it meant that the few days that he had to wait to see Kurt flew by and it wasn't long until he was knocking on Kurt's apartment door, fidgeting with excitement at finally seeing him after their few weeks apart.

Kurt swung the door open and immediately flung himself into Blaine's arms, grinning and hugging him tightly.

"Well, hello!" Blaine smiled into Kurt's neck, "You act like you haven't seen me in weeks!" He said sarcastically before jumping as Kurt playfully bit his shoulder.

"Shut up and kiss me," he said rolling his eyes as he pulled back but with his arms still wrapped around Blaine's shoulders.

"Mmm, yes sir." Blaine grinned leaning in to kiss Kurt deeply, slowly guiding him through the front door as he did. "Damn you smell so good, I've missed it so much," Blaine mumbled as he nuzzled Kurt's neck. Kurt hummed in agreement before reaching to grab Blaine's hands, which were now comfortably settled on his ass.

"Follow me," Kurt smiled, stepping away from Blaine and pulling him to his dining room where he'd already made dinner. Blaine smiled, wrapping his arms around Kurt's waist and resting his chin on his shoulder.

"I'm so glad to be back," he sighed, kissing the curve of Kurt's neck gently. "Those promotional things aren't the same without you being there to make them fun." Kurt leant back into him, remembering how much fun they had when he was Blaine's assistant, before it got messy.

"Come on," Kurt said, pulling Blaine further into the room, "you must be starving. Plus I've got some champagne for when your single does really well."

"If…" Blaine laughed at Kurt's certainty.

"When!" Kurt giggled, bossily, pushing Blaine into a seat before switching on the radio to hear the chart announcement.

They sat and ate fairly quietly, catching up on what they'd both been up to the past few weeks. Not that they hadn't called and texted each other so often that they already knew what they'd been up to but it felt like the best, easiest topic of conversation given how nervous Blaine was. Every so often they would pause as a new song was about to be announced to see if it was Blaine's song. Each time it wasn't, Blaine's stomach did a little flip and Kurt gave him a look as if to say "I told you so".

Blaine got quieter and quieter as the evening progressed, waiting to hear where his song landed. They'd almost gotten to the end of the countdown and the announcer mentioned his name as he listed which artists were in the top five. He just needed to say what order they were in now. They'd already finished eating a while ago and were now just sitting, waiting impatiently for the results. Kurt leant forward and grabbed Blaine's hand, squeezing tightly to give him support as he noticed Blaine's foot tapping nervously.

They'd listened to the fourth and third place songs and it still hadn't been Blaine. That meant he was at least number two. After 8 months of doing nothing, releasing nothing, people still liked him enough to at least get him to number two! He bit his lip, trying to not look at Kurt as he listened to the announcer building up the tension. He wished he'd just get it over with and let them know where he'd placed. Before he knew it the song that was at number two started to play and it… it… wasn't Blaine… which could've only meant one thing!

"Oh my god!" Kurt yelled jumping into Blaine's stunned lap and hugging him tightly. "You're number one! You're number one, Blaine!" Kurt jumped up and down, shaking his shoulders excitedly as Blaine didn't know what to say or do. Sure enough just a few minutes later, the radio announcer confirmed that Blaine was indeed number one in the charts. Blaine choked out a laugh as a tear rolled down his cheek. Kurt swung his leg around so that he was straddling Blaine and hugged him tightly and placed lots of tiny, sweet kisses, all over his face, excitedly. Blaine's phone suddenly went crazy with texts and a call coming in.

Still sitting on his lap, Kurt reached for Blaine's cell and handed it to him. Blaine instantly cancelled the call and turned his cell off, throwing it back on the table and focusing his attention on Kurt, who looked confused.

"Why'd you do that, it could have been your manager?" Kurt looked at the discarded cell, confused, before Blaine placed his hands on Kurt's face, directing his gaze back to him.

"Because this moment isn't about them. It's about me and you, just us." He leant in and kissed Kurt gently. "You did this. It wouldn't have happened if you weren't so amazing." He said as he pulled away, stroking some hair out of Kurt's face that had fallen forwards.

"I don't think so," Kurt said, rolling his eyes. "This is all your talent, you just needed a push in the right direction."

"Well… thank you for that push." Blaine grinned, leaning in to kiss Kurt again. He wrapped his arms tightly around Kurt's waist, pulling him further onto his lap and pushing his tongue into Kurt's mouth. Kurt softly kissed back and hummed into Blaine's mouth. This moment was just so perfect, he could barely believe that it was real. Blaine pulled away from Kurt and rested their foreheads together, smiling contently.

"God, Kurt, I lo…" Blaine started to speak without thinking and paused, realising what he was about to say and stopping himself just in time. He didn't know that Kurt was ready for that yet and he was soon given his answer when Kurt looked at him, smiling before kissing him gently.

"Say it…" Kurt whispered, still resting his forehead on Blaine's.

"You don't know what I was about to…"

"Say it." Kurt interrupted, more forcefully this time. Blaine paused before speaking, feeling strangely nervous.

"I… I love you, Kurt." He said, anxiously looking up at him.

"I love you too, Blaine." Kurt said, almost instantly, beaming as he leant down to kiss Blaine one more time, more passionately than before.

"What? Really? Really, really?" Blaine said, disbelievingly as he pulled away from the kiss.

"Really, really." Kurt laughed, trying to lean back in again.

"Because you can't take that back…" Blaine said, pulling away again, causing Kurt to roll his eyes once more.

"You talk far too much, Blainers." He teased. Blaine shrugged in agreement before, finally, letting Kurt kiss him, sucking on his lower lip gently at first but then more roughly as the kiss continued. Kurt wrapped his arms around Blaine's shoulder tightly, enjoying the feeling of Blaine's chest pressed against his own and, almost questioningly, thrust his hips forward gently, along Blaine's lap. Blaine smiled against Kurt's lips and hummed gently, choosing to not move because he hoped it would make Kurt do it again.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, Blaine felt Kurt thrust along his lap again, only this time he could feel the beginnings of an erection press into his hip. Blaine hummed slightly louder this time as he did but still chose to not respond. Only about 30 seconds had passed this time before he felt Kurt thrust along his lap even harder. This time, he couldn't control himself from bucking his hips upwards as he was getting more turned on and he softly ran his hands down Kurt's back, resting on the curve of his ass and squeezing gently.

Kurt ran his hands along Blaine's chest, starting to undo the buttons on his shirt. He leant down and kissed along Blaine's shoulder as he pulled the shirt off and exposed his tanned skin. Blaine moaned quietly and tipped his head back, exposing more of his neck as Kurt started to bite and suck gently along his skin before deciding to stand up and move away from Blaine.

"Maybe we should take this to the bedroom…" Kurt said, his voice deep, stepping away from Blaine but still holding his hand.

"Are you sure?" Blaine asked, wanting Kurt to confirm everything so that he knew he wasn't pushing him.

"Oh I'm sure," Kurt said sultrily, stepping backwards towards the bedroom and unbuttoning his shirt, not breaking eye contact with Blaine for a second. "Of course," he continued, dropping his shirt and starting to work on his belt, "you can just stay out here," his pants dropped to the ground and he, gracefully, stepped out of them, "and I'll just take care of myself…" he grinned wickedly and disappeared into the bedroom before removing his underpants, and throwing them gently out of the room to tease Blaine.

Blaine sat for a few seconds, staring wide-eyed at Kurt's discarded underwear and considering what he should do before chastising himself for hesitating and rushing into the bedroom after Kurt. He opened the door and his breath shook slightly as he saw Kurt kneeling on the end of his bed facing him.

"I wondered how long it'd take you to get in here," Kurt smiled coyly as Blaine rushed forwards and wrapped his arms around him, kissing him overpoweringly, before tearing off his own clothes. He pushed Kurt gently back onto his knees and lightly nipped at the skin along his jaw, smiling at hearing Kurt moan gently at the feel of Blaine's teeth on his skin. It helped that Kurt was so flexible as Blaine bent him further and further backwards onto the bed, feeling his erection pressing against him. Kurt could feel Blaine's hand running down his back once more and onto his ass. He felt as Blaine carefully brushed his fingers against his asshole, making Kurt's breath hitch and his hips thrust forwards, with pleasure, as he did. Blaine ran his hands along Kurt's ass again and repeated the action, this time, pressing his finger in slightly deeper this time.

Kurt gasped as it felt so good but too dry at the same time. He quickly rolled over and away from Blaine's grasp, reaching for his bedside table to get his lube and condoms. Blaine took the opportunity while Kurt was on his front to run kisses down along his back until he reached his ass and continued on, teasing Kurt open and pressing his tongue into Kurt gently. Giving up on looking for his lube for a second, Kurt dipped his head into the pillow and groaned loudly as Blaine's tongue moved in and out of him teasingly and far too slowly, in Kurt's opinion. He pressed himself back into Blaine in the hopes of getting more. Blaine giggled at Kurt's desperation and, instead of giving him more, teased him further by moving away completely before leaning over his shuddering body and pulling the lube and condoms out that Kurt had failed to get. He clicked open the lube and covered his fingers in it, rubbing them together to warm it slightly.

"Turn over." He whispered gently into Kurt's ear.

"Why?" Kurt said, looking over his shoulder confused because, wasn't this the best position for him to be in?

"I like to watch you. You're so beautiful when you come, I don't want to miss a second." Blaine said simply, as if it was obvious. Kurt smiled into the pillow for a second before obediently turning over. Blaine leant down and kissed him quickly, thanking him before pressing a finger into him, kissing Kurt's chest as his back arched up into him. Kurt's eyes shut tightly, concentrating solely on the tight feeling of Blaine's finger inside of him.

The whole time they'd been apart, Kurt hadn't even thought of being with anyone else, spending most of his time pining after Blaine. Now that he was finally getting Blaine, it was all he could do to not beg him to forget preparation and just fuck him. Almost as if he had noticed he was holding back, Kurt felt Blaine press a second finger into him, trying to push him to the limit. Kurt groaned louder, enjoying the hot tightness of Blaine's fingers slowly moving in and out, working him open gently.

It was made worse by the fact that Blaine was insistent on staying bent over Kurt, kissing and biting his way across his torso, pausing every so often to flick his tongue over one of his nipples. By the time Blaine pressed a third finger into Kurt, he was writhing around on the bed, sweating lightly and biting his lower lip to stop from screaming as he tried to push himself further onto Blaine's fingers. Every time Kurt whimpered or whined as he moved his fingers inside of him, Blaine giggled, knowing that he was doing this to Kurt and that he, and only he, could give Kurt exactly what he wanted and needed at that moment.

"F… Fuck, Blaine… Fuck…" Kurt babbled slightly, feeling like his entire body was on fire. Blaine, finally giving in to Kurt's desperation, slowly pulled his fingers out of him and reached for the condoms. He rolled one on and watched Kurt, for a few seconds, as he lined them up. He was spread out on his bed beautifully; breathing heavily, as if everything was too much and not enough all at the same time. He bit his lip, considering for a moment what he'd done to deserve someone this wonderful before putting those thoughts out of his head as he pushed into Kurt, groaning loudly as he did.

"Fuck… y…you're s… so tight…" Blaine let his head fall backwards as he focussed on not coming instantly which, given how turned on he was at that moment, was a distinct possibility. Once he'd pressed himself fully into Kurt, he paused for a few seconds, trying to not move. He bent down gently over Kurt and placed a few sweet kisses on his collarbone before slowly moving back and thrusting deeply back into Kurt, who whimpered loudly and started using his shoulder to bite down on.

"Keep going," Kurt said urgently when Blaine didn't move.

"I will, I just… I… need a few minutes…" Blaine laughed gently. Understanding, Kurt tried to not move his lower body and instead leant forwards to nibble on Blaine's ear softly, every so often poking his tongue into it. "That's not really helping," Blaine said laughing breathily as Kurt continued to suck on his earlobe. "Fuck it," he whispered under his breath before pulling out of Kurt again and thrusting back into him a few times.

"More," Kurt begged, pressing their foreheads, both slick with sweat, together. Blaine nodded and placed his hand under Kurt's thigh, moving it so that his leg was almost hooked over his shoulder, allowing himself easier access to Kurt. Kurt shuddered at the change of angle because it meant Blaine was now hitting his prostate perfectly. Blaine started to thrust in and out of Kurt, pounding him hard now that he had been given permission and started to feel his orgasm build inside of him.

Kurt noticed Blaine had gone silent and saw him watching his cock moving into Kurt, biting his lip at how hot that was. Kurt could see in his eyes that he was close and so wrapped his hand around his own cock, pumping roughly and unevenly. His timing was almost perfect as Blaine started to tremble as his orgasm built up even more. He tried to hold on until Kurt was ready to come too but couldn't control his body any longer as he screamed out Kurt's name, coming deeply inside of him. Just a few seconds later, Kurt cried out too, tightening around Blaine and seeing spots, as he came across his stomach, messily.

Blaine tried desperately to catch his breath as he collapsed onto Kurt, not moving out of him, sighing contently. He lifted his head up and messily kissed Kurt, sighing happily once more. Slowly he moved his thighs and pulled out, refusing to let go of Kurt's waist as he did. He gave Kurt just enough time to grab a few tissues and wipe himself clean, as he threw the condom away before lying next to him, pressing his body against Kurt's side. He closed his eyes and rested his head on Kurt's chest, feeling so happy, warm and peaceful as Kurt wrapped his arms around him.

Ungh, marry me, you're so fucking perfect… Blaine thought to himself as he ran his hand gently over Kurt's chest. They were silent for a few seconds until he felt a weight on his shoulders moving him so Kurt could see his face.

"What did you just say?" Kurt said, his face unreadable. Blaine's eyes widened as he realised that maybe he hadn't kept that last comment to himself like he'd wanted to.

"I said it out loud, didn't I?" Blaine bit his lip, still panicking. It wasn't a lie that he felt that way but he was almost certain that it would be too soon to even mention it to Kurt.

"You did, yes." Kurt said, smiling calmly.

"I'm so sorry," Blaine said quickly, panicking even further. "I really didn't mean to, it just… slipped out… so to speak…" He giggled slightly at his accidental pun, hoping it would ease the tension.

"It's fine," Kurt smiled back, pulling Blaine into a tight hug before continuing lightly, "although you really can't expect me to say yes if you're asking while we're still naked in bed after sex…" Blaine smiled at what Kurt had said before fully realising exactly what he had just said. He ran his hands along Kurt's arms thoughtfully, his heart racing, considering if he should ask what he wanted to ask or not.

"So…" he started, choosing to risk it, "… does… does that mean that if I asked you properly… you'd say yes?" The silence after he asked seemed to last forever until, finally, Kurt placed his hand under Blaine's chin, tipping his head so that he could kiss him deeply.

"Well," he started, pulling back and looking into Blaine's eyes deeply as he played with his hair slightly, "I think you know that I, of course, cannot answer that. Maybe you'll just have to take the risk in asking?" He smiled, his eyes glinting slightly as Blaine settled back down onto Kurt's chest.

He fell asleep replaying what Kurt had said in his head and thinking about all they'd been through. This was just the start of them properly being together but, it could also be the start of the rest of their lives. He honestly didn't know, but what was most important to Blaine at that moment was that, that was definitely what he wanted and Kurt hadn't said no. He hadn't said no…
