In response to my last chapter, I received this review from MusicalEscape. It speaks for itself. And it's so incredible that it gets its own page breaks.

My idea of how this would've gone:

*Klaine kiss*

"Let me in, etc"

"I- I can't"

*starts to get up, fails*

"Kurt?"

"What(close to tears)?"

"I think I'm glued to the chair."

I honestly don't have words. I just... *flails*

Anyway, I'm back in Australia :) did my flights, met a family member who was coincidentally on both of the flights I took, saw my kitten again, still in the process of unpacking and it's so weird being here. It really is. But I don't think it's going to be the good kind of weird because I'd been home just over an hour and they were already on my case about finding a job. Cannot wait for university next year - living alone is going to do me some real good I think.

For those who want to know what time I now update, I will update anywhere between 7 and 11am GMT. Work it out from there for your own country :) and of course that will change sometimes due to work (fingers crossed!) or other commitments, but that's the basic to rely on.

From Jg Rox: For some reason Blaine is wearing Kurt's 'Likes Boys' shirt from Born This Way, adorable Klaine fluffiness ensues.

Squee :) and I know I've done something similar to this (you'll see) but I can't resist. I'm mean to my characters! I've set it around the Rumors time because there's NO Klaine and it's distressing. I don't really care when. So obviously TGTDOSBDK.

I was sent a manip by Cori-Ackles that definitely prompted this.

"Blaine, what are you doing here?"

Kurt jumped out of his car, staring at Blaine who was leaning on his own car in the McKinley parking lot.

"Dalton has the day off today. So I came out to see you and then I'm going to hit the shops for a little while, then come back this afternoon. Is that okay?"

Kurt smiled. "Of course it is. Especially when you ditch the uniform." Blaine watched Kurt's eyes rake across his body before he seemed to realize what he was doing. The blush spread across his face as he stammered, "I .. I wasn't..."

"It's alright." Blaine chuckled. "I know what you're like with your fashion." Plus, he kind of liked the way Kurt admired him, not that he would tell his boyfriend that. The whole 'boyfriend' thing being new to them and that coupled with Kurt's issues with anything relating to sex meant that they were taking things really slow. And any admissions like those had the potential to scare Kurt away, which Blaine never wanted to do.

Kurt smiled. "So, I'd better go in -" he gestured to the school behind him half heartedly.

"Yeah, I guess so." Blaine smiled sadly. "It doesn't get any easier, does it?"

Kurt shook his head, and Blaine felt the emotion well up as it did any time he had to say goodbye to Kurt, go to a school where Kurt wasn't there to meet up with him between classes, eat lunch with him, go to Glee club...

"Hey, homos!"

There was a splash and Blaine's vision turned blue.

Through the haze, he saw a jock throwing a cup behind him as he walked away. He felt the cold ice dripping down through his hair, running down his face, stinging his eyes. Across from him, Kurt was wiping his face as if this was normal and Blaine felt a twinge of pain as he realized that this had been normal for Kurt.

"I - that's cold." Blaine rubbed his eyes and Kurt winced. Blaine copied the gesture a second later as his eyes began to burn.

"Don't do that, you'll make it worse." Reaching over, Kurt gently wiped the slushy from his eyes as he blinked rapidly. "Blaine, I'm so -"

"Don't." Blaine caught his hand as he finished wiping the slushy away and squeezed it. "This wasn't your fault. I'm the one that came here, and we weren't doing anything. But you told me the bullying had stopped."

Blaine tried to look at Kurt sternly but it was hard to do when his boyfriend still had slush dripping down his face. "It has, inside the walls. This is the first time anything's happened since I transferred, I think two of us was just too big a target to pass up."

Kurt bit his lip, then seemed to come to a decision. "Come on. I can't go to school like this, anyway. We'll go back to my place and get cleaned up."

Blaine nodded, feeling the slushy drip down his face as he did and grimaced. He jumped in his car, expecting Kurt to get in his until the younger boy jumped in the passenger seat. "We'll come back for my car later. Besides, I need to call Dad."

As Blaine pulled out of the parking lot, Kurt activated loudspeaker and called his dad, getting voicemail. "Hey, it's me. Just letting you know that the school will be calling to ask why I'm not there, tell them I'm sick or something. Blaine and I got slushied so we're going home -"

"Kurt?"

Burt's voice filled the car and Kurt was cut off. "Oh, hey Dad."

"What do you mean you and Blaine got slushied? What was Blaine doing there anyway?"

"He came to see me before school," Kurt shot a glance at Blaine and he smiled despite the circumstances. "Dalton has the day off today. And then Azimo saw us and it seemed he couldn't resist."

"Do I need to call the school?" Burt's voice was gruff and Blaine knew he was holding back his anger.

"It's okay. I'll just text Santana and let her know, unfortunately she can deal with it better than the teachers can." Kurt rolled his eyes. "I'm bringing Blaine home so we can both take showers and then I don't see the point going back so we'll probably go shopping or something."

Blaine tensed slightly as he realized nobody would be at Kurt's place. Not that he didn't want to spend time alone, but he didn't know what Kurt's dad would think of them being alone together.

"Alright, kiddo. You take care and tell Blaine I said hi."

Blaine raised his eyebrows at Kurt who also looked surprised. "Alright, talk to you later Dad."

"I can't believe your dad is okay with that?"

Kurt chuckled. "He knows better than to argue with me. Plus, the bullying gets to him, he's not going to do anything to potentially upset me further."

Blaine pulled into Kurt's driveway and they jumped out, Kurt finishing off a text to Santana before unlocking the door and ushering Blaine in. It wasn't the first time Blaine had been to Kurt's place, but there was something about the fact that they were alone that made Blaine shift nervously and bite his lip.

"Blaine, it's okay." Blaine looked guiltily at Kurt who was smiling. "Dad knows we're here. And it's not like we're going to get up to anything, we haven't even kissed."

Oh, and Kurt shouldn't be allowed to say things like that, because now Blaine found his gaze dropping to Kurt's lips which were - oh, moving.

" - shower down the hall. Don't rub your eyes, just let the water wash it out. There's shampoo up there too. And -" Kurt held up a hand, "wait here, I'll grab you some clothes."

Kurt quickly darted up the stairs and Blaine looked around the house he had gotten used to, the house that screamed Kurt's decorating, albeit much less so than his bedroom. Which Blaine had only seen once, briefly, accompanied by Burt who seemed to think that the mere sight of a bed would cause the two boys to go into a frenzy.

"Okay, here." Blaine started, not having heard Kurt come back down the stairs. "You okay?"

"Yeah, just lost in thought." Blaine took the clothes from Kurt before making his way to the bathroom, Kurt heading back upstairs to his ensuite. Stripping off his clothes, he wrinkled his nose at his ruined shirt before balling it up and chucking it in the bath. Jumping in the shower, he tipped his head back and let the warm water run over his face and hair, washing out the blue ice.

Blaine was all too conscious of the fact that he was showering at Kurt's place, something that seemed just a little too overwhelming to him, so he quickly washed his hair and jumped out. Drying off, he grabbed the clothes Kurt had given him and pulled on the jeans, rolling them up at the end and smiling at how Kurt was undoubtedly going to call him a hobbit again. Then he pulled out the shirt and couldn't hide a chuckle.

It was the shirt Kurt had worn to his Born This Way performance last week. Blaine had asked, and Kurt had tried, but they hadn't been able to pull enough strings to get even Blaine to be able to watch. So he had seen the video that afternoon and it had taken everything in him to not pull Kurt in and kiss him -

Don't go there. Shaking his head, Blaine pulled the shirt over his head and stared at himself in the mirror, grinning slightly at the backward LIKES BOYS emblazoned across his torso. Then his eyes moved higher and he winced.

His hair was drying out and Blaine realized the gel had been washed out. Kurt had seen his hair curly once before but that wasn't crazy curly - he'd still had gel in it. This was curls sticking in all directions, hanging loosely over his forehead and making him feel about twelve.

Rummaging through the cupboard, Blaine came up empty on any kind of hair product. He presumed all of Kurt's products were up in his bathroom and he knew Finn didn't use anything. Running his hands under the tap, he attempted to flatten his hair to no avail.

And then the knock came on the door. "Blaine? Did it all come out?"

Crap. "Uh, yeah."

"Okay. Um. Well, I'll be in the living room when you're - yeah."

As he heard the sound of footsteps moving away, Blaine sighed. He gave his hair a few more swipes, trying to tame it, before unlocking the door and moving towards the living room.

Kurt was sitting with his back to the door and Blaine took a moment to admire his boyfriend. He was dressed down, wearing a simple t-shirt and jeans - though they did look like they were sewn on, as usual. And his hair was perfect, Blaine noted with a touch of bitterness. He stepped into the room and Kurt turned, jumping off the couch.

"So it's all -"

Kurt froze, staring at Blaine who immediately put his hands to his head. "I know, it's horrid isn't it? But there wasn't any gel or any type of product and I couldn't do anything abou -"

Kurt strode across the room and slammed their mouths together. Blaine froze, stunned for a second before his mind caught up. Kurt's kissing you and you're standing there doing nothing?

Blaine began to kiss Kurt back and then he felt the hands twine themselves in his hair, raking through it and curling strands between his fingers. He suppressed a moan, wrapping his arms firmly around Kurt's waist. After a few moments, Blaine realized that for a first kiss, this was getting pretty heated and reluctantly pulled away, drawing a whine from Kurt before he realized what he had done.

"I - Blaine, I'm so -"

Blaine pressed his lips against Kurt's again, silencing him before pulling away. "If you try to apologize for it, that's what you'll get."

Kurt raised an eyebrow. "Maybe I should keep apologizing then," he murmured breathlessly, and damn it all if that wasn't the hottest thing Blaine had ever heard. But he needed to know what he had done to cause that sort of reaction from Kurt so he could keep doing it. Every day.

"So...?"

Kurt blushed. "It was just ... the hair. It's - so, so wow."

"Wow, huh?" Blaine teased, unwrapping his arms and taking Kurt's hand, pulling him over to the couch. Sitting down, he wrapped his arm back around his boyfriend's waist and Kurt leant into him with a sigh.

"Yeah, that and the shirt. Something about seeing you in that was ridiculously hot."

And now it was Blaine's turn to blush. "So, we've got the rest of the day to ourselves, and a house to ourselves. Shall we -"

Once again, he was cut off by Kurt's lips against his, a sensation he could well get used to.

So, the manip I was sent that I referred to earlier was of Darren Criss with his hair curly wearing a white shirt that someone had 'shopped "LIKES BOYS" on the front of. So that was my inspiration for this. Can't you just imagine it?
