Everything For You (2.19 - 2.20)
The morning after their one month anniversary starts off cold and wet, but Kurt's heart is soaring from the first text that peeps through his phone.
Thank you for last night, it was wonderful. I miss you already - Blaine
I should be thanking you
You always know how to make me smile - Kurt
I love making you smile - Blaine
:) I had a dream about you
Still on for coffee this morning? Kurt
Of course, I'm leaving in ten
Was it a good dream? - Blaine
The best. I dreamed I got to wake up next to you
I'm almost ready too. I can't wait to see you - Kurt
That sounds amazing!
Oh and I found some of my brothers old shoes that are Sam's size, if that will help. - Blaine
He'll be grateful
I'm still trying to find some stuff for his little brother and sister - Kurt
We could always just take them shopping - Blaine
You're so thoughtful, though I don't know if Sam would accept, I can ask
for the kids he might be okay - Kurt
It can't hurt to ask
I'm heading out now. See you at The Lima Bean dear - Blaine
See you soon cutie - Kurt
Their early morning date was quick, as always, but Kurt treasured every second they spent together. Sipping coffee over quiet smiles, clasp hands disguised by coat pockets and stolen kisses that sustained him throughout his day. He didn't miss Dalton persay, but he did miss all the chances he used to have to run into Blaine during the day. Now their encounters had to be planned, their dates less spontaneous, their conversations recorded in texts.
When he got to school, his lips still tingling, Kurt was immediately accosted by the signs that had gone up overnight. Prom was coming and for the Junior's and Senior's that meant tuxedos and corsages, Limos and memories that Kurt wanted very deeply. He was surprised the approaching event hadn't occurred to him sooner. The thought of taking Blaine to his high school prom made Kurt smile over a deep breath. It was perfect and why shouldn't he take his boyfriend to the prom? They were a couple just like any other, well not really, they were better. They were Blaine and Kurt.
Throughout the day Kurt wrestled with the idea, aware that there was always the chance the whole event could blow up in his face. Progressive though the school was appearing to be, Kurt still worried. He still flinched whenever he passed his old bullies in the halls, still sat rigidly when surrounded by them in class. There was still the possibility that someone could mess with them, the two boyfriends together at prom. Finn would say they're asking for it and besides, the thought of asking Blaine to prom made butterflies erupt stomach, what if he said no?
As the day wore on the signs around the school seemed to multiply and Kurt toyed with other, more fun ideas, like Blaine saying yes, choosing outfits and dancing with his boyfriend at prom. Something he had dreamed of for years and he could hardly think around the possibility that t could happen.
Late in the day Kurt received a text that made him blush, smile and squirm in his chair during Math class.
I can't stop thinking about kissing you - Blaine
You really are the cutest ever
Our 2:42 coffee can't come fast enough - Kurt
I know! I can't wait to kiss you again - Blaine
I love kissing you - Kurt
Same
How's your day going? - Blaine
Boring
I miss your face - Kurt
My face misses you - Blaine
How's yours?
O by the way, fair warning. Rachel and Finn think I'm cheating on you with Sam - Kurt
It'd be better if I were with you
You're trying to help him! - Blaine
We're the only people who know about his situation. Well us and Quinn.
I guess I see why he doesn't want everyone to know
But Rach and Finn saw me leaving his hotel when they were spying on him the other night - Kurt
Seriously why were they spying? - Blaine
I didn't ask - Kurt
If Rachel calls to tell me about your late night hotel tryst with a certain blonde, I'll be sure to act dramatically appalled - Blaine
Good
You're the best - Kurt
I Try - Blaine
Only one more class till I get to see you! - Blaine
It really can't come fast enough
Do you want to hang out with everyone at the Lima Bean or would you like to go back to my house? I think it will be empty - Kurt
Do you even have to ask? - Blaine
An hour later they ducked out of the coffee shop in the midst of a heated discussion between Rachel and Was about this seasons American Idol contestants and within five minutes they were pulling into the Kurt's empty driveway.
The house stood quiet as they entered and made their way upstairs, giggling at their luck. It was rare for the two of them to be alone, it was even more rare to find an empty house where they wouldn't be interrupted. For a moment, the silence seemed to press upon them as they stood in Kurt's room, staring around nervously but then Kurt was pulling the cup from Blaine's hand and as he placed the still warm coffees on his desk Blaine launched himself into Kurt's arms.
The hug became a kiss seamlessly, the pair swaying in each other's arms, melting into the affection they felt for each other. Lost in the moment, Kurt almost asked about Prom as they fumbled their way to the bed, but their refusal to break the kiss made it hard to get the words out. He felt his heart rate quicken at the impulse, or perhaps at Blaine's hands on his waist, making his skin feel like fire under the layers of clothing.
The truth was that Kurt was nervous, there seemed to be so many things that could go wrong. Granted his return to McKinley had gone off without a hitch, oddly thanks to Santana and the bully-whips, but there were still those jocks who eyed him in class. Still those moments when he feared a harsh smack into the lockers or a cold slushie to the face. And yet, more than all of that, he wanted to ask, he wanted to take his boyfriend to prom.
For the rest of the week Kurt was bombarded with signs for the event, reminders to buy tickets and notices for the court nominees. He didn't much care who won king and queen, though a great deal of the glee girls seemed to be vying for that top spot, but he was miffed that Kurofsky got a nod. It was true that Kurofsky was a popular football player, an asset to the team and apparently to the school, but he'd still been the reason Kurt had spent half his junior year at another school.
Despite his apology and clear remorse for what had happened, he was still lying, he was still hiding in the closet and Kurt didn't know if he should feel anger or pity toward Dave. He thought he felt a mixture of both because while the idiot jock lived a lie, Kurt was out and proud and had an amazing boyfriend that he fully intended to bring to prom, no matter how anyone else felt about it.
Really he thought it was thanks to Dave that he became so resigned to his plan, nothing and no one was going to stop Kurt from experiencing his prom and enjoying every minute of it with Blaine on his arm.
Kurt asked Blaine over dinner Friday night and despite some serious complications they agreed on pink corsages, a quiet dinner before hand and no limo. As they're leaving the restaurant Kurt catches a look of apprehension, almost fear on Blaine's face that makes him uneasy.
"Are you sure you're okay with this?" Kurt asks, reaching for Blaine's hand as they reached the parking lot.
"I, yes I'm sure." Blaine stammers, looking down as he swallows hard. Then his eyes meet Kurt's. "I really want to go to prom with you, Kurt. I think it will be amazing, I'm just worried about repeating my last experience."
"My friends won't let that happen," Kurt said, stopping to turn to Blaine. "And we don't have to dance or anything, I just want to go with you. Show off my prep school boyfriend." He finished with a wink.
"I'd really like to dance with you, but maybe, can we play it by ear?" Blaine said blushing through a soft smile, his voice slightly nervous.
"Of course, we'll hang back until you're comfortable." Kurt said, pulling Blaine toward his truck. "I just want to share it with you. I want to share everything with you."
"You're adorable," Blaine said quietly, stepping forward he flung his arms around Kurt's neck and whispered in his ear. "Thanks for asking me to prom."
Kurt's eyes were shining when Blaine pulled back, and for a moment they stared at each other, sharing an emotion to blissful to describe. Then they were fumbling their way into the car, wearing matching smiles.
Half an hour later they were laying in the back of Kurt's truck in the dark corner of a parking lot, hidden away so they could kiss each other in peace. They were both apprehensive about kissing in public, all too aware of their small town ohio location. Neither of them wished to invite animosity. But here they were safe, locked away in their own world, together.
"You are so cute," Kurt whispered as a kiss ended, one hand on Blaine's chest, the other squished between them.
"So are you," Blaine whispered back, squeezing Kurt into him until they were kissing again. Kissing Kurt made Blaine's whole body fill with light, it made his toes curl and his stomach flutter happily and then it made his heart race, his mind go blank. Kissing Kurt was Blaine's favorite thing in the world.
"I can't believe I get to take my boyfriend to my prom," Kurt breathed, smiling widely, his mouth an inch away from Blaine's.
"You had to know I would say yes," Blaine murmured back with a peck on Kurt's nose that made them both chuckle, pulling each other impossibly closer.
"I hoped," Kurt said happily, his voice slightly nervous. "I really hoped," as his eyes met Blaine's again they were slightly wet from happy tears and Blaine surged forward, smiling through the kiss that grew deeper.
A moment later Kurt's hand found a bare patch of skin on Blaine's stomach and unlike before he didn't pull his hand away. With a gasp Blaine started, pulling back slightly to stare at his boyfriend, lust and excitement coursing through him as Kurt smirked playfully. Without lifting his hand Kurt glided Blaine's lips back to his and with a soft moan they fell back together, aware they were already late for curfew.
