A/N: Hello! So, we are getting closer to that amazing moment between our favorite boys; but, I believe there is so much story to explore behind the whole thing and because I want to add it all up, this update was becoming impossibly long. Ergo, I have decided to divide it in two still kind of very long chapters.

Please don´t kill me for dragging this on a little bit more, but I have a vision for this part of their story and I want to stick to it.

If you play nice I might post the second part before next Sunday ;)

Reminder: I sometimes use dialogues from the show but I like to change them or extend them to serve this fic´s purposes so you will find a lot of that in this chapter and the next one for obvious reasons.

Enjoy!

48.- THE FIRST TIME – PART 1

It was Monday afternoon and Kurt was putting the things for his last class of the day, away in his locker. He smiled when his eyes briefly landed on a picture he had of him and Blaine, resting on top of his books. He picked it up and studied in with more detail.

The picture had been a present from Mercedes, as way to apologize for leaving the New Directions the way she had done. Kurt had told her he understood her reasons and although he missed her terribly, he knew she had done what she thought she needed to do. The moment he saw the peace offering in her hand, he had fallen in love with his present and they spend the rest of their free period catching on.

Mercedes had taken the photo during one of the last glee practices they had attended together, when Blaine and he were not aware of what she was doing. She had captured a rather sweet moment between his boyfriend and him; they were sitting next to each other in the choir room with Blaine cupping his neck with one hand as he brought him closer to kiss his forehead softly, both of them had had their eyes closed and you could just see the love and adoration they felt for one another. It was so beautiful that he wanted to cry and laugh at the same time whenever he saw it.

Another reason why this picture was his favorite is that Mercedes hadn´t known then and still didn´t know now, that what she had frozen in time was Blaine silently telling him he loved him, right in the middle of the room, surrounded by everybody with nobody knowing but them. It was their secret code outside of the Anderson and the Martin families and although they had no problems telling each other "I love you" in front of people, this was an especial way to express it and they still wanted to keep as theirs, without their friends knowing.

At seeing the picture, Kurt confirmed once again that he was ready to go all the way with Blaine; it was plain for him to see that there was no one he loved more or trusted more than Blaine and that Blaine loved him just as much and had proven that he was more than worthy of that trust, time and time again.

He knew the time to talk to Blaine about this was approaching and while he was lost in this happy, exciting, and a little terrifying train of thought, he felt two strong arms he was more than familiar with, wrap around his middle and his smile grew one hundred times wider as he quickly put the picture back in his locker because for some reason, he wanted to keep it all for himself.

"Hey there, beautiful. Are you done for the day?" – Blaine asked as he tightened his grip on Kurt, happy to see and feel how his boyfriend melted into him and put his hand over his to intertwine their fingers.

"Yeah" – Kurt sighed happily. There wasn´t anyone else in the hallway so they stayed where they were – "Do you still have the dress rehearsal with Rachael?"

"I do. I don´t know why Artie insist on these endless rehearsals; I mean, the play is pretty much ready for the opening night this Saturday and it´s amazing. But now, I have to go and run lines with Rachael instead of going home with you to help you with your campaign or to do… other… things" – Blaine said seductively while he placed a kiss on Kurt´s neck.

"Yeah, that´s a shame. It´s a good thing that you have managed to work with the back-stabbing Witch of the West all these past weeks, though" – Kurt´s tone was somewhat accusing.

"Kurt; we´ve been through this. You know that although morally I´m with you…"

"You have to be professional, I know" – the blue-eyed boy interjected.

"Besides, as surprising as it is, the truth is that Rachael hasn´t given me the slightest reason for not wanting to work with her. She comes prepared, does her thing and has never been unpleasant between sets. She actually asks me about how you are doing, everyday"

"She does?"

"Yes. I think that deep down she still cares about you; she is just letting her ambition and insecurities get the best out of her"

"Maybe" – Kurt turned in Blaine´s arms keeping their bodies as close as he dared considering where they were – "however, that doesn´t change anything. She is still running against me and as long as she is till competing without apologizing, I don´t want anything to do with her"

"I understand. She hurt your feelings and you have every right to be upset"

"I know you do and I appreciate your support; but I also know that this is not your battle. As long as you are still on my side, I´ll try to be ok with you being civil with her"

"Good" – Blaine kissed Kurt´s nose, making him scrunch it cutely – "Now, as much as I don´t want to, I have to go"

"It´s fine, go be amazing as you and I know you are"

"I love you"

"I love you, too" – Kurt kissed Blaine softly and let him go – "I´ll see you later to take you home"

"Thank you. You´re a life saver"

"Not at all…Oh!…My dad said that Marcus will have your car fixed by tomorrow"

"That´s awesome"

"It would have been fixed sooner if he had been the one working on it; but sadly he is away this week with Carole as you know"

"That´s ok. Just the fact that he is keeping track of something like that with everything he has going on right now is more than enough"

"Well, he cares about you, a lot"

"Please, tell him I really appreciate what he is doing"

"I will; now, go before you´re late" – Kurt pecked is boyfriend briefly on the lips and then shooed him away playfully. Blaine chuckled, turned away and started his way down the hall.

"I would like to have a copy of that picture, by the way" – Blaine said over his shoulder and winked at his boyfriend. Kurt blushed and nodded. The secret was out; but he didn´t really mind sharing it with Blaine after all.

Later that day, after a rather uncomfortable and unsettling practice, Blaine left the auditorium with a lot of thoughts running through his head. Could it be possible that Artie was right? Was he not believable as Tony because he was still a virgin?; He wasn´t sure.

He could see Artie´s point at doubting him to be able to portray feelings that were foreign to him, but he didn´t agree one-hundred percent with him; you don´t have to turn yourself into a serial killer to play one on screen, right?

Artie had suggested Rachael and him to get on with it as soon as possible so they could add up that experience to their performance; but this was about Tony as a character, not Blaine, the person; and he wasn´t alone in this.

He decided to put these thoughts aside and find a way to arise to Artie´s standards on his own because there was no way he was going to rush Kurt into anything only because of a play. Their first time together was too an important thing as to have the right time be determined by a school musical; maybe talking with someone with more experience would help; but, who?

The small number people he could ask, and his father was not in the list because one embarrassing conversation with him in his entire lifetime was all he could take, was running through his head when his gorgeous boyfriend showed up.

"Hi handsome" – Kurt kissed Blaine´s cheek and surprised him a little – "Are you ready to go?"

"Yeah"

"Are you ok? Did something happen in rehearsal?"

"Everything is fine. Artie is being very picky about a scene and Rachael and I are trying to figure out how to comply with his wishes"

"Do you need some help? What´s the scene?"

"Don´t worry about it; It´s not really a big deal. I prefer to go home and spend some time with you before you have to come back to Lima, instead of having our afternoon together dedicated to West Side Story"

"Are you sure? You know I don´t mind running lines with you"

"I know, but it´s ok. I promise"

"Ok. Let´s go then"

The ride to the Anderson´s house was like any other, with Kurt at the wheel this time. Blaine and Kurt talked about their day, things they were looking forward to do in the following weeks, Kurt´s campaign and how their families were doing; Finally, they fell into a comfortable silence with the stereo blasting their favorite tunes all while Kurt squeezed Blaine´s hand in his over the console, running soothing patterns over the hazel-eyed boy´s knuckles with his thumb.

That was a sweet gesture they still did for each other and both of them enjoy it immensely because it was soothing and grounding; but Blaine knew that although it had been a big deal and a blush-causing touch when they first started dating, now it was just the tip of the iceberg when it came to the touches and ways they had, to show how much the loved and wanted one another. The thought made him smile and blush, so he looked out the window hoping his boyfriend didn´t notice the suddenly rosy cheeks on his face.

Without knowing that his boyfriend was going down the same kind of thoughts he was, Kurt pondered at how he had learned to be more physically affectionate towards Blaine along the course of their relationship; but ever since his revelation, he found himself craving and initiating physical contact and intimacy at deeper levels and a lot more often. The good thing was that Blaine didn´t seem to mind, at all; on the contrary, he looked really happy every time Kurt was, for lack of a better word, clingy.

However, Kurt was starting to worry about Blaine thinking he was sexually boring because although his boyfriend had accepted his advances willingly; he had half-expected and half-hoped that his behavior would prompt Blaine to move things further or at least ask about where they stood so he didn´t have to bring the subject up himself, but not such luck.

Blaine´s view on the matter couldn´t be more opposite to Kurt´s. In spite that a more, although no overly so, clingy and needy Kurt was a new side to his boyfriend that Blaine was discovering giddily, he still felt the need to restring himself because he didn´t want to push the boy who held his heart, further than he was willing to go. Nevertheless, he was excited about this new development because for Kurt to be this comfortable at making himself vulnerable, by showing him how much he needed his closeness, made him think that he was doing things right by letting Kurt take every step painfully, but necessarily, slow.

The boy´s reverie ended when the car stopped in front of Blaine´s house. They got out of the car and walked together to the entrance.

The moment they walked in they were greeted by William and Victoria, who until the moment they let their presence known, had been talking silently about something and they didn´t look very happy about.

"Hi mom, Hi dad"

"Hey champion, Hello Kurt" – William stood up from the sofa, followed by his wife.

"Good afternoon Vitoria, William"

"It´s good to see you Kurt; Hi, honey" – Victoria hugged both boys while William gave them a pat on the shoulder.

"Are you staying for dinner, Kurt? Hannah is making the chicken lasagna that you love so much"

"I´d love to, thank you"

"It´s our pleasure, you know that. I was actually thinking that it has been a while since we had dinner with your parents. I believe is our turn to host; do you think they would be able to join us next week?"

"I can´t really tell until I talk to my dad because of his campaign, but I´m sure they´d love to come over for dinner whenever it works for all of you"

"Great! I´ll give Carole a call and see what we can come up with"

"Mom? Dad? What´s going on? Why the long faces when we first walked in? – Blaine had noticed that his parents were stalling so he decided to tackle the issue heads-on.

"Let´s sit for a minute and we´ll tell you"

"Ok" – Blaine sat down on the loveseat, pulling Kurt by the hand to sit next to him; both teens facing Blaine´s parents sitting back on the sofa.

"The thing is, son; You know we love you and support you in everything you do, right?"

"I do; but now you´re scaring me. What´s going on?"

"Well, honey. You know your grandfather James was celebrating his seventieth birthday this coming Monday in Columbus, right?" – Victoria continued after her husband.

"Yeah. It was supposed to be a quiet dinner just for family, but I haven´t asked Kurt to come with me yet; why?"

"You were going to ask me to join you for your grandfather´s birthday dinner? – Kurt interjected.

"Of course" – Blaine answered as that was the most obvious thing in the world – "My cousin Derek is bringing his girlfriend so it´s only fair I get to bring you; if you are up for it, that is; so are you?"

"I´d love to. I just wished you would have told me sooner"

"We were invited last night and I was waiting to tell you today in my room so you could freak out in privacy" – Blaine smiled at the last part he said. He had been entertaining the image of Kurt´s reaction to the invitation.

"Hey! I- I don´t – I don´t freak out" – Kurt´s voice was a little shaky and his face was drained of color, making Blaine chuckle while William and Victoria gave him warm smiles.

"Yeah you do; but you´re cute when you do it" – Blaine kissed Kurt´s temple, no worrying about his parents as he knew they were more than accustomed to see them do sweet things like that.

"If you say so" – Kurt puffed in annoyance but deep down he knew Blaine was right. He was freaking out because he knew that the Anderson Family was very traditional and conservative.

"You´ll be alright, I promise"

"Ok"

"Now, dad; what does grandfather´s birthday have to do with you supporting me? Does he not want me to be there?" – Blaine´s hurt at the idea was visible.

"No, no, it´s nothing like that" – William reassured him quickly – "He might not be very supportive of you but he isn´t a heartless monster as to do something like that. I do must say that you bringing Kurt with you for the party in two weeks will definitely stir the pond with them"

"Party? Two weeks? Can you please explain what´s going on because I understand less and less"

"What happens son is that my father decided that a quiet family dinner for his birthday wasn´t enough; so he has moved the celebration to Hawaii"

"What?!"

"He just called to tell us that he is celebrating his birthday with a family retreat in Hawaii this weekend. He is hiring a privet jet and flying us all to Honolulu on Wednesday night. We´ll be coming back on Monday"

"But the play´s this weekend! I can´t go! Please don´t make bail on my friends" – Blaine was pleading. Kurt held his boyfriend´s hand tightly trying to give him some comfort in his distress.

"We won´t" – Victoria said firmly – "We know you´ve worked hard for this and there is no one else to take your place. We´ve raised you to be responsible and we couldn´t possibly ask you to let the people counting on you, down"

"Then, how are we solving this? Are we all staying?" – Blaine asked in a much calmer tone.

"As I said at the beginning, we support you, but this is kind of a really big deal for your grandfather. Carl´s has confirmed he is going with his whole family; Cooper is joining us by flying directly to the islands from L.A. and although I had planned on cheering you on from the first row, we will have to miss your performance" – William explained with a pained expression.

"I´m really sorry, honey. But your grandparents are already upset that you are not going because we anticipated your reaction and told them you couldn´t make it; we couldn´t possibly make things worse by saying that we are not going neither"

"Of course not, mom. I understand. I already feel bad at not going with you because I know this is important for grandfather, so I couldn´t hold it against you not showing up for the play"

"So, you really don´t mind that we leave you alone most of the week and not being there to support you on your big night?"

"I won´t be alone the whole week because Hannah will be here until Friday and I would most likely spend most of the weekend in Lima because of the play. About you not being there? I know you support me and want to be there, but grandfather needs you more"

"I still feel like I´m neglecting you and I promised myself that wouldn´t do that, anymore" – Victoria looked really torn and William squeezed her hand in support. He knew his wife felt guilty for missing so many school plays and recitals when the boys were growing up because of her career´s obligations.

"Mom, I´m fine. I swear that I don´t think you´re neglecting me at all; in fact, I don´t think you ever have"

"Thank you, honey" – Victoria smiled but everyone could tell that it didn´t reach her eyes.

"I´m sure the school is filming the whole thing, we can ask Mr. Schue to get us a copy for you" – Kurt offered trying to make her feel better.

"That´s really sweet, Kurt. Thank you" – Victoria smiled sweetly at his son´s boyfriend – "If you manage to do that we will appreciate it"

"Consider it done" – Kurt smiled back, happy that he had helped somehow.

"So, this is what had you all worked up a minute ago?" – Blaine asked his parents.

"Yes, son. Your mother and I were trying to come up with a solution but as much as we wanted for things to be different, this is the only option we have"

"That´s alright, dad" – Blaine gave his parents a honest smile – "I´m happy that you cared as much as to fret over this"

"When Cooper and you are concerned, we always care" – Victoria said adamantly.

"I know" - Blaine – "But now that I remember, you said something about a party in two weeks?"

"Yes. Your grandfather wants to celebrate his and my mother´s fiftieth anniversary with a big dinner party in two weeks. I don´t know what´s gotten into him and this sudden desire to throw parties right and left" – William laughed as he was relief at how well Blaine had taken the news of them missing his performance.

"My money is on a twenty-year overdue mid-life crisis" – Victoria joined his husband´s laughter – "But he is happy doing this so we should play along. We already said that Kurt would be joining our party if he accepts coming with us"

"I´d still have to ask my dad´s permission but I´d love to. Thank you" – Kurt said sweetily.

"Great! Well, now that everything is settled, you can go and play and I´ll call you when dinner is ready" – Victoria stood up and winked at the boys – "play nice and behave"

"Mom!" – Blaine complained at being treated like children and dragged a giggling Kurt to his room.

Blaine walked into his room with Kurt right behind him. They put their bags away they sat on the bed to talk for a little while.

"Are you really ok with your parents leaving in two days?" – Kurt asked as he watched Blaine remove his bowtie and shirt, staying only in his under shirt. He smiled when he noticed that watching his boyfriend strip, even one piece of clothing, would have sent him in a nervous fit a few months ago and now he enjoys the comfortable intimacy they shared.

"Yeah, I truly am. I know they support me. I´m a little sad because I wanted them there but there will be another opportunities for them to see me on a stage, my grandfather´s seventieth birthday is a one-time event" – Blaine answered as he sat next to Kurt on the bed and placed his hand in the porcelain-white ones.

"And are you ok with you missing it?" – Kurt asked as he played with Blaine´s fingers.

"I can´t do anything else. As much as I want to share that with my family and it saddens me not to be there for grandfather on his special day, there; if I don´t show up I will ruin the whole thing for everybody else, here"

"I hate to admit it but it´s true. Nobodies has an understudy, the costumes are ready according to everyone´s measurements; so there´s not enough time to find someone, rehearse, and modify the clothes in five days. There´s just no way"

"I know" – Blaine sighed in defeat because as much as he wanted he couldn´t do both things – "So this is the best we do; at least I get to see grandfather in two weeks and I´ll think of something to make it up to him at the anniversary party" – Blaine regarded his boyfriend – "Are you ok with the whole party thing? I´m sorry for sort of spurring this on you in front of my parents; if you don´t want to go it´s ok, I can talk to them."- Blaine kept his smile but Kurt could see the sadness in his boyfriends´ eyes at the thought of him not going with him.

"It really means a lot to you for me to go, doesn´t it?"

"It does. The Andersons have always given me a hard time, especially my dad´s cousin´s sons; having you with me will help me through it, because when I´m upset you know how to ground me and keep me calm, so you will stop me from braking their noses as I know they will find a way to upset me" – Blaine´s eyes suddenly got a mischievous spark in them - "Besides, what better way to show them that I don´t give a damn about their opinions, than show up in the arm of the most gorgeous guy, proudly introduce him as my boyfriend, and then kiss him in front of their snobbish faces"

"Just to clarify, that guy is me, right?" – Kurt joked as a way to lighten the conversation after hearing Blaine telling him how much of an effect he has on him.

"Nobody else fulfills that description"

"And you not only want me there as a support system but to rub our relationship on their faces in the hopes of railing them up"

"A little, yeah"

"Ok"

"Ok?"

"Yes. I know they are not going to be like Grandpa Ed and Norah but I´m curious to meet that side of your family and if I can help you to get back at the cousin´s sons for whatever they´ve done to you in the past, I will"

"Thank you!" – Blaine kissed Kurt passionately – "So you´re not freaking out?"

"Oh, I am. I´m just waiting to get home to hyperventilate" – Kurt answered, still a little dazed from the kiss.

"Kurt" – Blaine chuckled – "It´ll be ok. I won´t let anyone give you hard time. I promise"

"But they´re your family. I want them to like me"

"With probably the exception of my grandparents, the rest of the people there are my extended family and others who were supposed to be close to me like uncle Carl, have kept their distance; so even though I sort of love them, because they´re related to me, I don´t care about what they think because they are not really part of my life. My close family, the one that really counts, already adores you; you have nothing to worry about" – Blaine circled his arms around Kurt and brought their lips together again.

"Ok. Just promise me that you won´t leave my side that night"

"I promise"

"Good. Now, I think I´m done with serious talk for a while. You can see me freak out about this party after we´re done with the play"

"Awesome! Because it so happens that this talk about parties had me wanting to dance with you" – Blaine walked to the iPod deck and pressed play; an upbeat sound coming out of the speakers as he pulled a giggling Kurt from the bed, brought him really close to him, and started to dance.

After dancing for a while, Kurt asked his boyfriend to let him rest for five minutes. Blaine reluctantly let Kurt go to sit back on the bed while he stayed dancing to the beat coming from his iPod.

Kurt sat comfortably on Blaine´s bed, happy to see his significant other dance freely in front of him. He took the time to revisit the thoughts running through his head and the feelings he was experimenting while he was driving over the Anderson home.

"Mmm. God, Roxy music makes me wanna build a time machine just so I can go back to the seventies and give Brian Ferry a high five" – Blaine commented while he was moving to the beat bringing Kurt back to the present.

"Do you think I´m boring?" – Kurt asked because he really needed to hear the answer. He was tired of second guess himself and as much as it was difficult for him to ask, he needed to.

"Are you crazy? You are the single most interesting kid in all of Ohio"

"I mean like, sexually. I mean, we are playing it very safe by not granting our hands visas to travel south to the equator" – Kurt blushed violently as he had finally managed to bring the subject up.

"Well, I thought that´s what we wanted" – Blaine was a little confused because he didn´t know where all of this was coming from or where it was leading.

"It is. I´m just wondering, have you ever had the urge just to rip off each other´s clothes and get dirty?" – Kurt couldn´t believe he was asking this question.

"Uh, yeah, but that´s why they invented masturbation" – Blaine answered honestly. He had caught on and he knew that Kurt needed some reassurance. He wasn´t sure why Kurt was doubting how attracted he was to him but his answer must have cleared all his doubts as he had pretty much admitted to masturbating thinking about him.

"So hot in this room, could we maybe open up a window?" – The blue-eyed boy didn´t know what to with himself or with that piece of information his boyfriend just provided. Blaine must have been joking, right?

"Hey, I´m serious" – Nope, apparently he wasn´t joking – "We´re young, we´re in high school, and yeah we have urges but whatever we do, I wanna make sure that you´re comfortable. So I can be comfortable"

"I know, you´ve told me before" – Kurt tried to control the blush on his cheek but there was no way he couldn´t be affected by what they were talking about.

"Well, I mean it… and besides, tearing off all of your clothes is sort of a tall order"

"Because of the layers?"

"Because of the layers" – Blaine leaned in to kiss his boyfriend and Kurt responded happily.

"So, you´re saying that you are actually dying to have sex with me but you control yourself because you are waiting for me to be ready?... That you are not just patiently waiting but that you really want me?" – Kurt didn´t know where the strength to finally talk about this topic was coming from but he was going to make the best out of it.

"Kurt, of course I want you!" – Blaine couldn´t believe they were finally having this conversation – "I want you every second of every day. When we make out I have to make an extraordinary effort not to finish what he started because I love you too much as to hurt because of lack of self-control"

"Really?" – Kurt couldn´t hide the smug smile that that confession was bringing to his face.

"Yes, really" – Blaine decided to go all in – "Let me be perfectly blunt here; those skin tight jeans you love so much? You kill me every time I see you wearing them; When you lick the cream of your coffee out of your finger? I groan inside and restring myself from jumping over the table and have my way with you right there" – Blaine looked intently in his boyfriend´s eyes to let him know he was dead serious about what he was saying. Kurt could hardly breathe at hearing all the sexy things Blaine was saying about him – "The sassy comments you throw when you are not having people´s nonsense? They do not only make proud to be with you, but they also turn me on because you look hot and sexy; Do you want me to continue?"

"I- I.. I t- think I got the message" – Kurt stuttered.

"Good" – Blaine kissed his flushed boyfriend one more time and pushed him gently on the bed so they could keep going at it more comfortably. Kurt relaxed into the kiss very easily and he wasn´t bother or shy about having Blaine´s upper-body pressed on his while they kissed thoroughly.

"Are you ok with what I said?" – Blaine asked after separating his lips from Kurt but he kept their bodies where they were as he rubbed their noses together.

"Yes"

"You know there is no pressure"

"I know; but I have to tell you something, too"

"Ok. What is it?"

"I´m ready"

"What?" – Blaine pushed back a little so he could see Kurt´s eyes.

"I feel ready. I´m not insecure or scared anymore. I am ready for my first time and I want it to be with you"

"Kurt" – Blaine said the name with utter adoration in his voice and love bursting from his eyes.

"And before you ask me, yes I am sure" – Kurt looked back with the same sentiments showing in his face.

"How? When?" – Blaine couldn´t decide what question he wanted to ask first.

"I have this picture in my head of my first time being after having dinner in a romantic Italian restaurant where we can slow dance to a romantic ballad; and they going to a small boutique hotel, to a room filled with candles and soft music, where we could stay all night and wake up together the following morning"

"Wow, you really have thought this through"

"I believe your first time must be really special. I don´t think it should be something rushed, sneaking into a empty house or a cheap motel for a couple of hours, rushing through it so you can go back home and don´t get caught. What do you think?"

"I haven´t thought of it with that much detail but I agree with you that you shouldn´t rush it. I want you to have everything you dreamed of, that night"

"You don´t think it´s cheesy?"

"No. I think it´s romantic and sweet"

"Thank you" – Kurt brought Blaine´s head to his to kiss him.

"So you want to plan this? You and I deciding when and how?"

"Yes, if that is alright with you. I want to make sure that our first night together is perfect"

"I am ok with it"

"I´m pretty sure your mom will come soon to tell us dinner is ready; how about if you and I leave this conversation for another time? I really want you to give it some thought and tell me what you want it to be like to include it in our plans"

"I can do that" – Blaine kissed Kurt´s nose and sat in a more conventional way on the bed. Kurt followed but reached out to hold Blaine´s hand.

It was a good thing they decided to do that because two seconds later there was a quick knock on the door before Victoria walked in. The boys looked at each other and laughed at how close Victoria had gotten to finding them making out on the bed.

"What´s so funny?" – She asked as she stepped closer to them.

"Nothing mom. It´s just Kurt being a really good guesser"

"Oh really?"

"Yeah. Is dinner ready?"

"Yes; your dad is already waiting for us"

"Ok, let´s go then"

The boys followed Victoria to the dining room. They sat down and enjoyed the delicious food and talk with Blaine´s parents. Kurt had pretty much forgotten about the heavy conversation they just had had in Blaine´s room if it wasn´t because his boyfriend had taken his hand under the table, but instead of keeping their clasped hands between them as always, he had guided them to rest on his lap instead. Kurt blushed even harder when Blaine released his hand to eat some bread, leaving his palm resting on his thigh. Blaine winked at him when Kurt looked up at him and continued eating his bread as if nothing had happened. When he was finished, Blaine took Kurt´s hand back in his and laced their fingers over his lap again. Kurt hated to admit but he had enjoyed the possessiveness and sexiness he had felt at having his hand on his boyfriend´s thigh; he knew those were the kind of touches he was going to get acquainted with now that it was allowed, and he was more than ok with that.

The following day Kurt got to school feeling a little apprehensive. He was nervous that things could get awkward with Blaine after what they had talked about the night before. Not that his behavior over dinner or how low his hands had travel down his back when they had kissed good-bye before he left was any indicator of it. It was a new side to their relationship is was excited to explore.

His fear had proven to be unfounded when Blaine kissed him good-morning like he always did and behaved towards him the way he always did throughout the entire day, they were in school after all. They did agree on postponing their conversation to plan their first time, until after the musical was done. They were all getting nervous about the opening night and they didn´t want that stress to mess with them having a perfect night together.

As Blaine was visiting the Warblers that afternoon to invite them to the musical, Kurt decided to have a nice and relaxing afternoon at home; the conversation with Blaine, the play, and the upcoming elections had had him all worked up for a few a days and he need some time for himself. So he spent that day taking a warm bath, reading vogue, listening to soothing music while eating cookies and drinking warm milk.

Blaine on the other hand was having quite an interesting afternoon. When he had gotten to Dalton, he hadn´t expected to miss the place so much, but he did. He didn´t regret his decision at all, because being at McKinley was accomplishing everything he wanted, the reason why he was there was a proof of that, but he couldn´t help the homey feeling he got when he was inside the school.

He had enjoyed sharing one more song with his friends, he was touched at them thinking he was coming back and was grateful for the friends he had when they promised to be there to cheer him on at West Side Story opening night. He hadn´t expected however, was meeting one Sebastian Smyth.

Sebastian had been quite forward in his comments and although he wasn´t sure, he thought he was flirting with him when they were drinking coffee after the Warbler practice; because you don´t call "sex on a stick" to any random guy, do you? But then again, Sebastian did seem like the type of person who would speak so freely that it was hard for you to tell the meaning behind everything he said. They had agreed on meeting to discuss more about the Warblers and Blaine decided that if Sebastian gave him another comment like that, implying something more than friendship, he would set things straight by making it clear he was taken.

One thing he did like about Sebastian was how open and carefree he seemed to be. One look at him and you could tell he was all about adventure, excitement, experimentation; he was like a living and walking YOLO commercial and Blaine couldn´t help but wanting to be a little more like that.

It was Wednesday and Blaine met Kurt in front of his locker as every afternoon before going home. Since meeting Sebastian the day before, he had been thinking how in control he was and that maybe, just maybe, Kurt and he were being too plan-oriented and that a little more freedom and more spontaneity could do them good. He wanted to talk to Kurt about it and that was what he did.

"If you see any of Rachael´s campaign posters, feel free to tear them down" – Kurt said in annoyance. Blaine looked as his boyfriend fondly. He could tell that in spite being mad at Rachael he still cared about her. He just wished the petite girl would realize the mistake she was making and apologize to Kurt already. However, he didn´t want to get trapped in another Rachael-based discussion so he decided to tackle the issue that had been occupying his mind the past twenty-four hours.

"Do you think we are too sheltered as artist?" – Blaine asked and Kurt gave him a questioning look because the change of subject wasn´t subtle – "I´m serious. West Side Story is all about living outside you safe little world, don´t you wanna wake up every day and be adventurous? Experience everything in life you can?"

"Of course" – Kurt didn´t know where all this was coming from but he decided to play along and share something with Blaine he had never told anyone before – "It´s why I made a bucket list. Okay. You ready for this?"

"Okay"

"Alright, here we go" – Kurt was a little nervous about this because it was really personal, so he started with one that was not so privet – "Number eighty-seven: Become CEO of Logo"

"Of course" – Blaine though his boyfriend the cutest thing ever.

"Number sixty-three. Oh, lay a rose at the birthplace of Noel Coward" – Kurt looked at Blaine to see his reaction but as he was yet to receive a judging glance about his dreams and fantasies and he was met with understanding and attentive eyes instead, he risked telling Blaine one of the most intimate although ridiculously implausible ones – "Okay, number five. Alright, this one´s really embarrassing, I wrote this before I met you. Have relations on a dewy meadow of lilac with Taylor Lautner before he gets fat. Ugh, yeah, I know, it´s stupid, it´s stupid" – Kurt finished dismissively and sporting a lovely rosy color on his cheeks.

"No, it´s not. It´s hot" – Blaine countered, utterly surprised at Kurt including something like that in the list and having the courage to share it with him.

"Well, anyways, we´re young so… we got all the time in the world to be adventurous" – Kurt tried to change the subject quickly because he didn´t feel like discussing him, having sex with another man, with his boyfriend.

"Don´t you think that now is the time to be adventurous? While we´re still young?"

"Maybe. Do you have something in mind?" – Kurt wasn´t sure why Blaine was pushing this adventurous thing so much; maybe he was trying to tell him something. Maybe he needed more excitement in their relationship that he wasn´t getting or was he referring to them planning everything?

"No. not really. It was just something I was considering"

"Do you think we need to be more adventurous as a couple? Is being with me too boring for you, now?"

"What?! No, not at all. I think I told you quite in detail how much not boring I find you, two nights ago" – Blaine kissed Kurt´s neck just to prove the point and Kurt sighed happily.

"Then, what is this about?"

"Nothing, really. I just heard of some people doing crazy things at our age and the whole concept of the play came to me and I just wanted to know where you stood in all of that"

"Okay. Well, I´m all up for adventure as long as it´s not recklessly dangerous and as long as you know when things are worth to be given some thought. I mean, I´m ok with driving past a bridge and join the group of people doing bungee-jump there, as long as they have the right equipment of course, just because you feel like trying it out that day; but I´m not ok with having unprotected sex with a guy you just met in a bar just because he is hot, you have great chemistry, and it feels so great that you think it´s acceptable to get lost in the moment"

"I agree. So, are you up to try some new things with me?"

"Such as…"

"I would like to take you on your first motorbike ride"

"You know I´m terrified of those things"

"I know; But I also know that you have never actually been on a bike ride; I promise I´ll take it slow and you´ll be wearing all the safety equipment ever created for it. What do you say?"

"I suppose I can try it. Do you have any other first in that list of yours?"

"Mmmm… a few. We´ve never been on a road trip, or went camping, or backpacking…"

"Okay, Okay. I get it" – Kurt laughed – "I supposed you can talk me into doing those things in the future"

"Really?" – Blaine looked hopeful.

"Yes. But I´ll come up with my own list of things we should try together, too"

"Sure!" – Blaine beamed, he loved that Kurt was always open to hear him out and never shut his ideas down just because it was something he normally wouldn´t do – "So, now that we have settle on doing a bunch of things we´ve never done before; Would you join me for a cup of coffee after school?"

"I´d love to, but can I meet you there in a couple of hours? I promised Mercedes to meet her at the bleachers to talk without Santana interfering with her nonsense that we are enemies now and I really miss talking with her"

"Of course, I understand. I´ll see you later then"

"Thank you. You´re the best. I love you"

"I love you too, Angel" – Blaine kissed Kurt good-bye before seeing him walk away down the hall in direction of the football field. Just, when he was walking towards the library to kill some time doing his homework until Kurt could meet him for coffee, he received a text from Sebastian asking him to join him for coffee in an hour. Blaine thought that was the perfect opportunity to get to know the new Warbler better and to lay some ground rules about their friendship if it needed be. He texted him back accepting the invitation.

Blaine got to the Lima Bean just in time as Sebastian got there a few minutes later. They made the line together to order their coffees and Blaine couldn´t believe what Sebastian had just asked the Barista.

"I can´t believe you asked for a shot of cavasier in your coffee"

"Forgot how lame this town is. When I lived in Paris, I drank it like it was mother´s milk"

"When you lived… Okay, wow" – Blaine was amazed at the world-experience Sebastian obviously had.

"What?"

"You´re just so… you know, you´re out there" – Blaine explained his reaction as they sat down.

"And your whole bashful schoolboy thing? Super hot"

"Look Sebastian. I have a boyfriend" – Blaine said straightforwardly, it was obvious now that Sebastian was flirting with him and he was not comfortable with it.

"Doesn´t bother me if it doesn´t bother you" – Sebastian answered hoping that it could make Blaine consider hooking up just so he could see what the big deal was all about. Blaine was less than impressed, it was obvious that Sebastian didn´t regard people´s feelings or had a high opinion on committed relationships based on how easily he dismissed what he had with Kurt.

"No, I mean, I really care about him. I love my boyfriend and I don´t want to hurt him" – Blaine tried to make it clear that there was no way he was cheating on Kurt with him or anyone else for that matter.

"He doesn´t need to know" – Sebastian insisted.

"I just never want to mess my thing up with him, in any way" – Blaine hoped that this time Sebastian got the message – "He is everything I want and need. He´s really great"

"Who´s really great?" – Kurt asked walking in on them out of the blue. Blaine was surprised and a little worried at Kurt´s reaction because he was having coffee with another guy.

"You!" – Blaine said rapidly – "We were just talking about you. Sebastian, this is Kurt, my boyfriend, who I just…"

"Got it" – Sebastian interjected markedly unimpressed with the newcomer.

"Wow, heh, wow" – Blaine was lost for words at how things had turned out.

"Pleasure" – Kurt addressed Sebastian coolly and then he directed his glance to his boyfriend – "And how do we know Sebastian?"

"We met at Dalton. I was dying to meet Blaine. Those Warblers just won´t shut up about him. Didn´t think he could live up to the hype, but as it turns out…" – Sebastian was purposefully saying things to make Kurt jealous; maybe, if he pushed the right buttons he would have them fighting in a matter of minutes and he was going to be there to make Blaine feel better.

"Yes, he´s even more impressive in the flesh" – Kurt finished for him, sitting down next to his boyfriend and hooking his hand in his elbows in a very clear sign of possession. Blaine knew Kurt well enough to see he was not happy with the situation; the blue-eyed boy had noticed that Sebastian was hitting on him and he was trying to make sure Sebastian knew his place.

Although Blaine enjoyed seeing his boyfriend jealous, because how could he not? He didn´t want Kurt to fret over Sebastian because it was unnecessary; besides, he did feel a little guilty for not giving Kurt the heads-up before he found them there. So, to soothe his boyfriend´s tense posture, he made sure Kurt saw him showing Sebastian he was with him; he placed his hand over the one Kurt had on his arms, intertwining their fingers together caressing with his thumb Kurt´s hand as his boyfriend snuggled into him, and he kissed Kurt´s forehead with the excuse of thanking him for his compliment, sending a reassuring message that he knew Kurt would understand.

Kurt sighed after feeling Blaine´s kiss on his forehead. He felt a little less threatened when his boyfriend was obviously displaying his affection towards him in front of the meerkat-faced jerk; but he could tell that Sebastian was someone to be reckoned with and he was keeping his guard up.

Sebastian was annoyed because whatever dent he had managed to made in Kurt, Blaine was undoing it with his clingy behavior towards the silly boy in front of him; but, he wasn´t one to leave without a fight so he decided to change tactics.

"Hey, what are you guys doing tomorrow night?" – Sebastian asked in the friendliest way he could manage.

"Well, we´re rehearsing for the school musical" – Kurt answered in a more relaxed tone. Blaine smiled because his plan seemed to have worked although he could tell Kurt was not completely at ease – "And then at bedtime we do a rigorous skin sloughing regiment over the phone together"

"And as sexy as that sounds, what do you say we shake things up? I get you guys a couple of fake IDs and we head to Scandals in West Lima"

"Scandals?" – Kurt asked not recognizing the name or place.

"That´s the gay bar" – Blaine clarified for him.

"Last time I was there I met the man of my dreams on the dance floor" – Sebastian commented with a dreamy smile, hiding the fact that it was actually a random hook-up that ended pretty quickly in the men´s bathroom.

"That´s so sweet, are you still together?" – Kurt asked in the hopes of Sebastian actually having someone and that all of the hungry glance he was throwing at his boyfriend, were in fact a creation of his imagination.

"Sadly no, we broke up about twenty minutes after we met" – Sebastian answered and Kurt´s hopes dissolved in a renewed dislike for the snickering jerk, Sebastian continued with his plea – "C´mon guys, live a little"

"We would love to, Sebastian, thank you for the offer, that´s very nice of you, but that´s not our kind of thing" – Blaine tried to politely turn him down because he wasn´t really sure it was the kind of place Kurt and he could enjoy. However, he had decided that Sebastian definitely had some troubles accepting a no for an answer, but he didn´t seem dangerous. To Blaine, he seemed to be the kind of guy who had decided to not take anything seriously and was very sure of himself; and although it was not something that appealed to him, it didn´t make him was a bad person neither.

"Let´s do it" – Kurt said surprising everyone.

"What?" – Blaine was speechless.

"Yeah!" – Kurt addressed his dumbfounded boyfriend but he knew what Sebastian was doing and he wasn´t going to give him the satisfaction of making him look childish and boring – "I mean, we have a whole bunch of firsts to start crossing off our lists" – Kurt then directed a very determined glance at Sebastian that had the words game on written all over it – "We´re in"

"Great" – Sebastian accepted the challenge.

"Great" – Blaine said ignoring the power play going on between his boyfriend and his new friend.

"Well, boys, I have to leave you. I have fake IDs to order and in need of some Irish Coffee which I cannot get in here" – Sebastian stood up – "I´ll call you Blaine to arrange everything. Bye"

"Okay, bye" – Blaine answered politely and Kurt just nodded in acknowledgement.

"Love, are you sure you want to do this?" – Blaine asked Kurt the minute Sebastian had left.

"Of course, it´ll be fun"

"I know you were upset when you first arrived…"

"I was surprised"- Kurt interjected – "because you haven´t mentioned him before or that you were meeting him today"

"I met him when I visited the Warblers a couple of days ago; he said he wanted to meet some other time so that I can give him pointers on how to blend better in the group but I had forgotten completely about it until he sent me a text right after you left to see Mercedes"

"I don´t like him"

"I know, but he isn´t that bad; just give him a change, okay?"

"Okay"

"Thank you" – Blaine kissed Kurt´s cheek – "and what about Mercedes? Weren´t you supposed to meet here?"

"She cancelled on me because there was some kind of Troubletones emergency. I tried to catch up with you when I saw you walking towards the parking lot but I couldn´t; I guessed you were probably coming here to wait for me so I went for my car and came here to surprise you; only that I was the one surprised instead"

"Kurt, I promise that nothing is happening with Sebastian"

"I never said there was"

"You didn´t have to, I can see the wheels in your beautiful head turning; so please don´t get upset over this"

"But you do know he was hitting on you, right?"

"Yes, I do. That doesn´t mean I´m gonna fall for it; I already told him that I´m with you and that I wanted him to stop"

"You did?"

"Of course. You´re the only one I have eyes for"

"You´re such a sap" – Kurt giggled feeling a lot better at Blaine´s words.

"Yes, I am; just for you"

"Let´s get out of here" – Kurt took Blaine´s hand and guided him to backseat door of Blaine´s car so he could kiss his boyfriend senseless.

A/N: Any thought? Did you like this first part? I hope so. Until next time!
