EVERYBODY PLEASE READ THIS:
Hi all. Now, this is the message that I know a lot of you were dreading, but it's time. *deep breath*
I'm capping the story.
It's been amazing to see all the prompts that have come in, but guys I just can't keep doing it forever. As it stands right now, this story will be 153 chapters long and, I mean, wow... When I first posted the story, I thought 'there's no way this is going to take off. Nobody knows me on here.' I aspired to ten chapters. So to see 153... yeah. Mind blown. I've loved writing this, but I'm ready to move on and start writing stuff after the kiss. I want to actually take their relationship into further stages than just the initial moments. So there'll absolutely be more stories coming from me when this series is over, don't worry about that! Plus, there's still over a hundred more chapters so you may all get sick of it before I stop writing anyway...
Now, I still haven't seen New York and I pretty much know there's going to be prompts coming from there. So this is what I'll do. I don't know exactly when I'll see New York, but until then prompts are open for everything OTHER than that episode, but are not necessarily going to be written as a lot of prompts will be getting rejected. Sorry if that sounds harsh, but I have been rejecting prompts for awhile now and I just need to because I can't write every scene put in front of me. Once I've seen New York and alerted you guys to that, I'll give another two days for the last of the prompts, then it'll be capped for good. After that, everything will be written and the story will be completed. Don't worry, I'm not going to bail out now and not write the prompts I've been given (except the rejected ones of course, sorry!), I'm seeing this through.
From Chasing Aspirations: Oh and I just had another idea! The scene in 'Sexy' when Blaine's talking to Burt about Kurt could make him realise his feelings for Kurt... okay that sounds weird but let me explain- I basically mean he could be talking about how much someone as special as Kurt should never be put in a bad situation due to a lack of sexual knowledge (or something along those lines) and then he could find himself rambling a bit about how amazing Kurt is... and then he could have a moment of realisation about how he feels for Kurt... which of course would lead to him confessing his feelings and kissing Kurt?
Talk
Blaine tried desperately not to wring his hands as he felt Kurt's father staring him down. But he had come to say something and it needed to be said.
"Have you ever talked to Kurt about sex?"
"Are you gay, or straight, or what?" Burt was eyeing him up as if trying to figure out an ulterior motive for Blaine being there or whether he was somehow trying to make a dig at Kurt.
Blaine fought so hard to keep from saying or what, but he knew he needed to make a good impression with Kurt's dad, especially when talking about this sort of thing. "I'm definitely gay."
"Okay, good. I mean, you know, whatever - but good for Kurt. He needs someone like you... to talk to." Burt wiped his hands off with the rag as Blaine breathed a quiet sigh of relief.
"Well that's kind of my point. I've tried talking to him. But he basically puts his fingers in his ears and starts singing."
"Well, when he's ready he'll listen."(1) Burt seemed to think the matter was closed, but Blaine knew he couldn't leave it there.
"Sir, I'm afraid he might not. And I know you want to keep your son safe, so all I ask is that you listen to what I have to say for a couple of minutes, no matter how much you might not want to hear it."
Burt put down the rag and raised an eyebrow. "Okay, kid. Talk."
Blaine took a deep breath and pushed all his nervousness back. "Your son is one of the most responsible teenagers I know. He doesn't get drunk, he doesn't go out to parties, he doesn't date for the fun of it. So there's a good chance that he won't find himself in the situation of being so drunk he doesn't know what he's doing and then waking up the next morning and finding he's made a huge mistake. However, if he does get in to that situation, it would be better if he had some knowledge of what's going on and what he could do to help himself."
Burt was looking concerned and distinctly uncomfortable so Blaine moved into what he hoped was safer territory and the more immediate concern.
"Now, that might never happen. But your son is gay, and I'm almost positive that one day he will end up in a good, consenting relationship with a guy." Burt coughed at the word consenting and Blaine felt himself flush slightly also, before focusing on the task at hand. This is for Kurt.
"It'll be just like when any other teenage couple gets together. The hand holding and kissing will be good for awhile, but after a little bit of that, they'll probably want more together."
Blaine suddenly had an image of Kurt kissing another boy and a flash of white hot jealousy ran through him, giving him pause for a second. What was that?
Luckily, Burt was examining his shoes so Blaine could pass it off as embarrassment and continue on.
"Some day, your son will be ready to go further in a relationship with someone. He'll want to be intimate with them." And there was that damn jealousy again as he thought of Kurt being in a relationship with someone else. It didn't matter that the person was faceless, he wanted it to have a face and he wanted it to be him.
Blaine, where the hell is this coming from?
"I do know that." Burt spoke up. "I just - I don't want to know about Finn having sex. Why would I want to know about Kurt?"
"Because he doesn't know." Blaine was struggling to hold the conversation while dealing with the sudden onslaught of feelings he was experiencing. "Sir, you remember what it was like to be a teenager. Things just - happen. If Kurt's going to get intimate with someone, it's quite likely they won't sit down and discuss it before hand. Though Kurt is a very unique person so he may make it his priority to have that discussion, and I think that would be great and I admire that about him and -" Blaine clamped his mouth shut with difficulty. Stop talking!
But Burt had only picked up on what he deemed the important parts of Blaine's ramble. "You talking from experience kid?"
"No, Sir. I've - well, I've never had a relationship."
Burt's eyes lifted to look at him. "Oh. So it's all hypothetical is it?" Then his eyes narrowed. "Wait, you're not doing this to get with my son, are you?"
"No, of course not, Sir!" Blaine felt panicked. "Kurt's a wonderful guy, but I would never try and get him informed about sex just so I could have sex with him! I just - I worry about him. He's so innocent, and it's a beautiful trait he has, but he needs to know more about the world he's a part of. When I first learnt this stuff, it was incredibly awkward for me, but I knew that I owed it to the person I would someday be with to get it right for them."
He saw respect flash in Burt's eyes and continued, encouraged.
"I want the same for Kurt. I want him to feel that one day when someone realizes how amazing he is and actually asks him out, or maybe he'll ask them, he doesn't have to shy away from the relationship because he doesn't know what to do. I want him to be able to be the wonderful, gorgeous person he is and be comfortable with sharing that with someone else, because they'll be so lucky to have your son -"
"Blaine."
He stopped mid-ramble, feeling his face flush as he mentally ran through what he had just said and, more importantly, what he has just realized. I want that with Kurt. I want a relationship with Kurt.
I just told his father that.
Blaine raised his head to look at Burt, expecting to see anger. Instead, he saw a reluctant acceptance and slight - humor?
"Well, kid, looks like you've worked something out there, hasn't it? This is the part where I should threaten you, but you look scared enough and I don't think Kurt would think much of it."
"No, I'm sure he wouldn't."
Burt and Blaine turned as one to see Kurt standing in the doorway to the shop, his arms crossed.
"Kurt," Blaine managed to stammer out before his words failed him and he began to pray for a hole to open in the ground.
"How long have you been standing there, son?" Burt asked.
"Since Blaine started talking about parties and stuff - and no, Dad, I don't plan to ever go there." Kurt looked between the two of them, eyes lingering on Blaine for a second before he shot his dad a look. Apparently he understood because he backed out, mumbling something about checking a car out the back.
Blaine eyed up Kurt, unable to read his face. "Kurt ... I -"
"Blaine." Kurt took a step forward and he gulped.
"You came to my dad," he stepped forward again, "and told him to give me a sex talk." Another step. "You then spent the whole conversation talking about me ending up with a hypothetical boy." He took another step and now he was only a couple of steps from Blaine who had begun to sweat. Kurt might be skinny but he could pack a punch (not that Blaine knew from experience. Oh no. Of course not.)
"Said hypothetical boy was so obviously you in your mind," he stepped forward again, closing the gap, "and you didn't even realize until now."
Kurt took the final step in, placing him right in front of Blaine. And now they were so close that their arms brushed together and Blaine swallowed nervously, looking up at the slightly taller boy.
"You are just - wonderful."
What?
Kurt leant in and kissed him.
I'm going to wake up any second now, Blaine thought sadly as he began to kiss Kurt back, and this will all be over -
And then Kurt nipped lightly on his bottom lip and the shock it sent through Blaine was enough to tell him that he was actually awake. Awake, and kissing Kurt.
Blaine felt his mind shut down again, but for all the right reasons this time as he focused all of his attention on Kurt.
After a little while, Kurt broke away, resting his forehead against Blaine's and smiling softly. "So, does this wonderful gorgeous person get asked to be your boyfriend or does he have to do it himself?"
Blaine chuckled, leaning in to kiss Kurt again quickly. "Kurt Hummel, would you be my boyfriend?"
"As long as you don't take me to any parties, you've got a deal. I don't want to see Dad get out the shotgun any time soon."
Blaine felt himself pale as Kurt began to laugh.
(1) Transcribed from 'Sexy' to this point. I felt like this was enough of the original being directly quoted... plus, I couldn't find a transcript.
I quite like it when Kurt takes charge. *watches 4 Minutes again and swoons*
... oh, and that literally happened last night. I was watching that episode and by the end of it I was, for the first time, disappointed that he's gay. Sigh. I mean, I always knew he was sexy but that... guh. Anyways!
