To anybody who watched me publicly break down on Tumblr last night, I'm sorry you saw that happen. To everybody who proceeded to send me messages, whether anonymous or not, telling me to stay strong and that it'll get better and that you all love me, you all helped, I promise. Thank you so much. And thank you to everybody who reads and reviews this because every review helps too. For anybody who doesn't know what I'm rambling about, it doesn't matter anymore because my life is going back on track. For anybody who didn't know it was off track... yeah, ignore all of this ;)

From Broken Gold: Completely Spontaneously
Spontaneous... half. It's certainly spontaneous in Blaine's eyes.
Spontaneous
"Truth or dare... Kurt!"
Kurt sighed, rolling his eyes. "Truth," he said, sitting up and crossing his legs. For some reason, when Nick, Jeff, Wes and David had cornered him after his last class and informed him he was playing truth or dare with them, he hadn't fought with them. The boys loved pulling out the game whenever they could but usually Kurt never joined in - nobody could ever think of anything original to ask so they always ended up asking the same questions..
"Who do you like?"
Like that one.
Kurt sighed, figuring that getting it over and done with was the best bet. "Blaine," he muttered, staring down at the carpet. Why did you pick today to join in?
Well, at least Blaine had gone out for the afternoon - his mother's birthday was coming up and he needed to get her a present - otherwise he would be here too. Blaine might love playing the game, but Kurt didn't want his confession of feelings to be in the middle of a game like this.
"Kurt?" Jeff poked his knee lightly and he looked up to see everyone's attention on him, Wes and David lowering their hands suspiciously as if they had just shared a high-five. "It's alright, we all knew anyway."
Kurt groaned. "Great. Does that mean he does too?"
Wes snorted. "Yeah right. Blaine's completely oblivious. Anyway, it's your turn to ask someone."
"Fine. Jeff, truth or dare?"
Jeff deliberated for a second. "Dare."
Kurt grinned. "Kiss Wes."
Amidst the splutters and complaints, Kurt allowed himself to drift back to his thoughts. So, Blaine doesn't know, just everyone else? Kurt had thought he had been fairly subtle with his attraction to his friend, but the fact that everybody knew was concerning.
Laughter rose as Jeff leant in, pecking Wes on the lips quickly before moving back and wrinkling his nose. Wes shuddered theatrically before laughing. "Not the first time I've had to kiss a guy in truth or dare."
The game continued, Kurt drifting in and out of focus while he thought about Blaine. Now that he knew that everybody else knew, he had started worrying about someone telling Blaine or about it slipping out accidentally.. and what would happen the next time he played this game with Blaine and they asked -
"Kurt?"
"Huh? Oh, dare."
The second the word slipped out of his mouth, he winced. Looking up, he saw a group of evil smirks and groaned. "What are you going to do to me?"
Nick laughed. "Well, since you made my boyfriend kiss Wes, I think it's only fair that you have to kiss someone."
Kurt rolled his eyes. "Okay, David, right?"
"Blaine."
He froze, staring frantically at Nick. "No, you're kidding... aren't you?"
Nick shook his head, smirk still firmly in place. Kurt immediately began to think. Okay, it's fine, just tell him the guys dared you to and get it over with... "Okay."
"Oh, and you're not allowed to tell him it's a dare." Nick folded his arms, looking satisfied. Wes and David shared another high-five and Kurt glared at them.
"Come on, that's not fair!"
Jeff rolled his eyes at the rest of the boys who were looking immensely proud of themselves. "Obviously you all don't remember what it was like to kiss someone for the first time, not knowing whether they wanted it or not. And we were all in relationships when that happened."
With that, the guys pulled themselves together. Nick looked sheepish, Wes and David not as much. "A dare's a dare," Wes reminded them. "Just do it spontaneously, and see what happens."
Kurt grumbled under his breath and crossed his arms, refusing to join in for the rest of the game as his mind worked in overdrive. How am I meant to go up to Blaine, the guy I love and kiss him like it means nothing?
Three days later and Kurt was a nervous wreck. Every time he had seen Blaine, his mind had reminded him of the kiss that was still pending and he found himself making excuses to get out of wherever he was as quickly as possible. It didn't help that the other boys were winking and muttering things under their breath any time they saw Kurt beginning to feel awkward.
It really didn't help that Blaine looked like a kicked puppy any time Kurt made up an excuse, and he knew if he dragged it out any longer then Blaine would be confronting him and asking what was going on.
So, completely spontaneously? He could do that, right?
Blaine was standing in a group of Warblers, laughing about something. Kurt had just entered the room and was about to turn and run when he stopped himself. No, this ends now.
Blaine had his back to Kurt, but David caught his eye questioningly. Kurt nodded and the boy broke into a huge grin, elbowing Wes who was beside him. Kurt knew that any second, Blaine would realize something was going on, and Kurt needed the element of surprise on his side to get through it.
Striding up to the group, he heard the tail end of a conversation spearheaded by Cameron. "- and then she decided I'd make a good coatrack and threw all of her bags on me while she kept shopping..."
Kurt tapped Blaine on the shoulder and the boy turned to face him. Before he could say anything or even show any signs of recognition, Kurt grabbed his shoulders and pulled him in, kissing him. All conversation ceased as everybody stared at the two kissing boys. Kurt broke the contact quickly and turned, walking away briskly as the tears filled his eyes. There you go, dare done. Now you can pretend this never happened.
This time it was a hand on his shoulder, pulling him back to meet Blaine's eyes which were burning. "You don't just do that and walk away," he growled and Kurt's heart sunk, snapped in two, disintegrated...
"Because then I can't do this." Blaine reached one hand around the back of Kurt's head, pulling them together so their lips met again. And this time Kurt actually let himself feel what was going on - the pressure of Blaine's lips against his, seeking him out; Blaine's hand twisting lightly in his hair. He snaked his own arms around Blaine's neck, pulling him closer and feeling his heart beating almost out of his chest because he had never thought this would actually happen.
Blaine pulled away first this time, resting his forehead against Kurt's. Kurt blocked out the sounds of the other Warblers wolf whistling and cheering, instead focusing on the myriad of emotions glittering behind Blaine's eyes.
"So why did you walk away?"
Kurt chuckled. "I'll tell you some day. Maybe."
You've got to wonder just how long Kurt kept that a secret! After all, if he said it right then that it was truth or dare, Blaine would be crushed. I can just imagine it coming out when they get married or something ;)
MusicalEscape:
Hello, this is a documentary to explore what exactly is in Blaine's pocket after thr prom "tissue" event.
Hm... here's a pair of Dalton Academy dress pants. Let's see... pencil, small notebook with song ideas...
Let's see, right pocket: gum, mints, tissues, a hankerchief... seriously Blaine? I know you're dapper, but a hankerchief? Hmm... a thumbdrive, library card.
Left pocket: a pen... wallet... in the wallet is about $50, his school ID, a picture of Cheerio Kurt... that can be used as blackmail, later.
"HEY!"
Oh, hi Blaine. *starts running*
"GIVE BACK THE PICTURE!"
Mmm... nope. Bye!
