I woke up this morning to emails as usual, but I've never quite experienced anything like I did this morning.

Guys, your response to yesterday's chapter was unreal. I didn't expect anything at all like that and it just blows me away. To those who I made cry, I am sorry, but I'm glad I managed to reach so many people as well. The song I used (sorry, I forgot to mention it) is Roses for the Dead by Funeral for a Friend. I advise everyone to go check it out, it's very different to what I usually use but it's powerful, as is the video which I know has brought a lot of my friends to tears.

Thank you so much for all of the heartfelt and supportive messages I received when I mentioned it affects me personally. You guys are the reason I write and the reason I stay sane. So much is happening right now and there's a huge chance I could just end up going back into my shell and back into that state of mind, but writing these stories and getting comments from you guys, who don't just love the stories but care about me as a person as well, that's helping, it really is. So thank you all so much.

I am definitely considering making a chapter story out of it. It'll go through every person's reaction - starting with Burt when Kurt sits down with him (probably with Blaine as well) and tells him everything that's been happening and they decide he's going to go to Dalton. Then it'll go through the main characters from New Directions, their reactions, their ways of trying to make it up to Kurt and all that. And it'll probably finish up with a chapter of Kurt arriving at Dalton and getting used to the way things are there, then with a chapter of Blaine looking back over everything that's happened. I can't promise it'll be up anytime soon though, there's just so many other things I'm writing right now.

Okay, that's enough of that! Back to fluff land for a little while :)

My writing pattern is a little crazy. For Kiss, I have the following chapters written: from here up to 79, then 81, 84 - 86, 88 - 100, 102, 110, 117, 124 and 131. That's a bit silly, isn't it?

From Kat3418: He sleep shops! Ok so this isnt really exactly a prompt that goes with this story but i was wondering if maybe in you spare (ha!) time you could do something with it?

She sent me the link to the interview where Chris talks about this too - I'd already seen it but I happily re-watch interviews of him. And this prompt made me really happy to do because ideas started flitting into my head straightaway but I was only up to writing Chapter 30 when I got this so I had to wait 29 chapters to actually write it... wow, remembering back to the days I was only writing Chapter 30...

Kurt and Blaine are roommates in this one. Of course.

Dreaming

Blaine groaned, rolling over and rubbing his eyes. He blearily cracked open one eyelid to see what time it was and frowned. 1:25? What woke me up?

Then he saw the faint glow coming from the desk. Blinking furiously to try and adjust to the foreign light, Blaine propped himself up on his elbows to see Kurt hunched over the desk, murmuring to himself.

"Kurt?" There was no response, so Blaine reluctantly swung himself out of bed, wincing as his feet hit the cold floor. He stumbled over to where Kurt was sitting and looked at him. "Hey, what are you doing?"

Kurt stared at the screen, his eyes glazed over as he clicked frantically. Blaine frowned and looked at the screen. eBay?

"Um, Kurt?" Still nothing and suddenly Blaine realized. He's still asleep. But why is he on the computer?

Kurt began to mumble again as he typed and Blaine leant closer to hear him. "... gotta find ... jeans ... sale..."

Blaine fought frantically to hold back his laughter. Kurt sleep shops! This is classic!

A pair of jeans came up on the screen and Kurt smiled sleepily before clicking 'Buy Now' and adding them to his cart. Blaine winced, looking at the price, but Kurt was already onto the next idea.

"... scarves ... scarf for Blaine... Blaine'd look sexy in a scarf..."

Blaine blinked. Did he just call me sexy?

"... that one for me ... Blaine might like it ... mm, might rip it off me..."

Blaine immediately scrambled for his phone and turned the video on, holding it up to Kurt as he continued mumbling about Blaine. Various phrases such as 'just want to jump him,' and 'so kissable' were some of Blaine's favourites. He watched his friend for a bit longer, trying to figure out what to do with the revelations he had just been given.

After all, Blaine had liked Kurt for a little while now, but up until now the younger boy hadn't shown any signs of returning his feelings. Now, here was clear, irrefutable evidence that Kurt did feel the same - at least in his sleep.

An idea popped into Blaine's head as he remembered a psychology class he had taken last year. "Some sleep walkers can be highly prone to suggestion..."

"Kurt? Search for 'hair gel' for me?"

Blaine watched as Kurt typed the words into the search bar, beginning to mumble about how Blaine's hair looked 'so much sexier without all that gel...'

"Okay, Kurt. Time to log off."

Kurt obediently shut the window and turned off the computer, staring at the screen as it went black. Blaine sighed and shut off the video, unable to pick anything up now.

"And now it's time to go back to bed." Kurt stood up and shuffled back over to his bed, lying down and staring at Blaine with his eyes open, awaiting further instruction. Blaine realized Kurt wasn't going to go back to sleep properly and figured it was better to deal with everything now anyway.

"Now you can wake up."

Kurt's eyes fluttered shut before he rolled over, sighing heavily. He squinted his eyes open, blinking a few times to adjust to the darkness, then yelped when he saw Blaine staring at him.

"Blaine? What the hell?"

All the pent up laughter finally exploded and Blaine collapsed back onto his bed. Kurt blinked at him sleepily, sitting up.

"I'm sorry," Blaine explained as he finally got himself under control, "I just - I can't - look at this."

He moved over to sit on the bed beside Kurt and opened the video. Kurt winced as the bright light assaulted his eyes but obediently focused on the video.

"What? Is this me? I - oh no. Again?"

"This is normal is it?" Blaine paused the video, looking at Kurt who had dropped his head into his hands.

"Mm. How much did I spend?"

"Not much, I got you logged off pretty quickly."

Kurt raised an eyebrow. "You did? Nobody else has ever been able to. Thanks."

Blaine smirked. "Don't thank me just yet." He resumed the video, and Kurt's voice drifted sleepily through the speakers.

"I should get Blaine in those jeans... no, shouldn't, it'd make me want to jump him..."

Kurt's head shot up, embarrassment flushing across his face. He immediately reached out and hit stop, still staring at Blaine. There was silence and Blaine could see Kurt's brain whirring.

"Oh, okay."

Blaine frowned because Kurt suddenly looked calm. "What?"

"It's cool. I'm still sleeping is all."

Blaine choked back his laughter. "Kurt, I can assure you, you're awake."

Kurt frowned. "But you'd say that if you were a dream too. Prove it. Pinch me or something."

With his sleep-ruffled hair and tired expression, Kurt looked absolutely gorgeous and Blaine just couldn't resist. "Okay. Here's your 'or something.'"

Blaine leant in and gently captured Kurt's lips. He kept it brief, but Kurt still looked dazed when Blaine pulled away, touching his lips with his fingers gently.

"Awake?"

Kurt nodded, before fixing his eyes on Blaine. "So, I really did say all that stuff..."

Blaine nodded then started when Kurt buried his head into his shoulder, groaning. "That's so embarrassing."

Blaine chuckled, wrapping his arms around Kurt and running his hand up and down his back softly. "But adorable," he whispered. Kurt sighed in response, curling in tighter and Blaine felt his breathing start to even out and deepen.

Leaning back slowly, Blaine let his back come into contact with the bed, keeping Kurt in his arms as his own eyes started to drift shut, absently wondering whether they would wake up and find that the whole thing had been a dream...

But of course, Blaine blinked awake the next morning, feeling the pressure of Kurt sleeping soundly on his chest. He smiled and slipped back to sleep, confident that this time, Kurt would be there when he woke.

I love hearing about Chris' sleep shopping escapades. I also know this seems very AU because of Kurt's attitude towards sex and 'sexy' things, but I also know when we're asleep, our subconscious takes over. I've done some weird things in my sleep that I wouldn't do when I was awake too.

Oh, and on the topic of me and sleeptalking, I'm the kind of person who can have a completely coherent conversation and make people think I'm awake but not remember it. It happened once at a sleepover where we had to stay up all night with one of my friends for medical reasons so we took turns to sleep. I'd had half an hour and my boyfriend came in to wake me up and apparently I said 'it's alright, you can turn the light on, I'm awake.' So he did, then I woke up and got annoyed at him for turning the light on...
