Yes, you read it right. This is CHAPTER 100!

*throws confetti and starts slicing cake (yes, there's enough for everybody!)*

I should have some totally awesome way to celebrate this... but I kind of don't. Apart from a new poll which of course you're all fascinated to hear about ;) First the results of the poll on how Blaine should transfer; the clear winner was that he wants to stand up to his bullies, with following Kurt because he misses him (one of my least favourites to be honest) coming in second. The new poll is 'the best pairings/ideas to come out of fandom.' So, go vote, and if you can think of something I've missed, please let me know via review and I'll add it.

Anyway. 100! WOO! Most fabulous review gets a special mention next chapter =D and I'm not telling you how I judge these fabulous reviews either ;) just be your fabulous selves, mention something about this being the 100th chapter, and ... and! =D

Speaking of fabulous reviews, an extra special amazingly awesome shout out to Chasing Aspirations who wrote the last review in French and Italian, alternating between paragraphs. My jaw freaking dropped.

From akatrixie: Blaine opens Kurt's room's door, and is hit with a wad of wet, balled up tissues.

My mind went in about seven different directions with this. Literally. I went "I'll just write about... no wait, that's even... oh, hold on, I could do... what about.." and so on. I mean, everybody probably read the prompt and went 'oh, Kurt's crying, Blaine's going to comfort him. Comfort!Kiss!'. And I thought 'you know what? No.'

So then I wrote this. It's totally out of the blue and random, but that's just the kind of writer I am.


Tissues

Blaine took a steadying breath as he leant against the wall next to Kurt's door. Any second now, he was going to knock on the door, open it, go in and ask Kurt to be his boyfriend.

... any second now.

What are you so nervous about? He's going to say yes!

But Blaine couldn't be so positive. Sure, Kurt had told him he thought he was the one Blaine was going to sing to on Valentine's Day, but that didn't necessarily mean he liked him, did it? Okay, yes, he had blushed and looked ridiculously endearing and almost hopeful, and a little crushed when Blaine had said he didn't want to screw things up, so that was a pretty clear sign, but still.

And Blaine really didn't want to screw it up. Kurt was one of the best things that had happened to him, and to possibly lose his friendship over this would crush him. But you have to try, otherwise you'll go insane.

With a suddenness he didn't know he possessed, Blaine knocked on the door. There was silence, then a muffled affirmative. Taking one more deep breath, Blaine twisted the knob and opened the door to be met with a wad of wet, balled up tissues.

He blinked, wiping his cheek as the wad fell to the floor with a wet splat. Looking down at it, he realized that the floor was littered with tissues and panicked for a second. Kurt's been crying, what's happened, is he okay?

Then Blaine looked up and saw what was going on and had to bite his fist to keep from laughing. Kurt was sitting on his bed with his blazer in his hand, scrubbing furiously at it. A box of tissues and a bowl of water were beside him and he was dipping tissues in the water, wiping away at a large blue stain on the front of his blazer.

"What happened?" Blaine asked, trying to keep the laughter from his voice. Kurt looked up with surprise - apparently he had forgotten about the knock on the door already.

"Wes happened." Kurt's tone was vicious. "I've told him a million times that drinking blueberry smoothies in uniform is going to end up being a disaster. I just never expected it would be a disaster on me."

Blaine sat down, examining the large stain down the side of Kurt's blazer. "He spilt it on you?"

"I wish." Kurt grimaced and Blaine looked at him curiously, anticipating a great story. "We were walking back from the cafeteria, and Wes was still drinking his smoothie. David was telling some kind of ridiculous story about his girlfriend and an elephant -" Blaine filed that note away, reminding himself to ask David what that was about as soon as possible. "Wes found it particularly funny and cracked up laughing while he still had smoothie in his mouth. It came out his nose, Blaine."

Kurt shuddered as Blaine tried not to laugh. "And now there's probably snot and other disgusting things mixed in here and I'm never going to get it all out and it's the only blazer I have because these things are freaking expensive even if they aren't made of the best quality materials -"

Blaine took Kurt's hand and Kurt froze mid sentence, staring down at it. "It's okay, Kurt." He squeezed it lightly and Kurt's eyes shot back up to his. "I've got a spare blazer that should fit you. My brother was in his last year when I started here so I inherited his. You can have it."

"I - Blaine, I couldn't do that."

Blaine frowned. "Of course you could. It's not charity, Kurt, it's me with a spare blazer that's been hanging in my closet for the past year and a half and never been worn. It would be a crime to leave clothing unworn for that long, wouldn't it?"

He knew appealling to Kurt's materialistic side would work, and sure enough Kurt relaxed. "You're right. Okay." He tossed the blazer aside and Blaine suddenly realized he was just wearing his dress shirt, the top button undone and no tie. His mouth ran dry for a second as he unashamedly stared until a hand was waved in front of his face.

"Blaine? I know it's against uniform policy and all but I think I have a good enough excuse."

Blaine lifted his eyes to meet Kurt's, knowing he couldn't hide the expression on his face. Kurt read it instantly, his look changing from affronted to confused. "What -?"

"Kurt." The word came out slightly rough so Blaine licked his lips and tried again. "Kurt, there was a reason I came in here."

Kurt didn't answer and Blaine realized his gaze had dropped to his lips the second he had licked them. He repeated the action, more slowly, and watched Kurt's eyes grow wider. The boy swallowed roughly before seeming to realize Blaine was still there and shooting his eyes up to meet him, looking worried. Blaine simply raised an eyebrow before closing the gap between them, kissing Kurt as if his life depended on it. Kurt gasped underneath his lips before responding as Blaine's arms wrapped around his waist, running patterns across his back. His hands were curling in Blaine's hair and hey, when did those get there and does it really matter?

Then Blaine remembered his initial plan and pulled away, sighing a little. It was suddenly all worth it though because Kurt moaned at the loss of contact, his eyes opening slowly. A second later, a blush started to colour his face as he removed his hands from Blaine's hair and covered it.

"Hey, no, none of that." Blaine unwrapped his arms from Kurt's waist and lifted Kurt's hands away from his face, holding them gently in the slight gap between them. "Trust me, I'd love to do more of that, but I figured I should do this properly."

And there were those damn nerves again even though he had just kissed Kurt and he was completely positive that Kurt wanted this too. Shaking his head at himself slightly, Blaine began to speak.

"Kurt. It's taken me awhile, far too long in fact, to realize just how important to me you are. I've been searching, trying to find someone I could give myself to because I thought that was what I should do. But I realized that I can't go looking for a relationship with somebody because I want one, I have to want to be in a relationship with someone because of them. And the more I thought about it, the more I realized that the only person I want to commit to like that would be you."

Kurt's eyes were round with shock, which Blaine couldn't quite understand considering they'd just kissed and all, but he figured Kurt wasn't used to hearing things like that. Well, Blaine was planning on changing that. "You're incredible, Kurt Hummel, and I've been blind for not seeing it sooner. So, if you'll have me, I'd like to ask you to be my boyfriend."

He waited a second but no reply came. Worried, he asked again. "Kurt? Would you -?"

And then Kurt's lips were covering his again and Blaine could only assume he agreed. That was determined a few seconds later when Kurt pulled away slightly, whispering against his lips. "That's a yes, just in case you weren't sure."

Blaine smiled before murmuring back, "Maybe you should just verify it."


I kind of feel like there's been way better chapters that could have been THE 100th chapter... but oh well.

Oh, and to everybody who told me about Chord leaving... yes, I know it's confirmed, but I'm done listening to the Glee rumour mill because they keep on changing their minds. I'll just wait for Season 3, I think.


MusicalEscape:

On a completely unrelated note, what happened after the 'I love you's':

"I love you."

*swallows coffee* "I... love you too."

*cheering*

"Good job, guys! We've been waiting for this! *barista takes out cake*

*confetti falls from ceiling, music starts playing*

...and this is why I shouldn't have ice cream and pie. I write crack.
