So I saw the latest Glee promo. I'd love to say I sat calmly and watched it and smiled at my favourite characters and took note of the new plot developments. Instead, I flailed like a tween and had to bite my lip to stop from squealing, then sent off a very incoherent email to my beta, then helped everybody else blow up Tumblr. THEN I sat down calmly and smiled at my favourites and took note of the new plot developments. Eventually.

Promos suck though. I just want to see the episode! Now I'm sitting here wondering why certain things happened and dying to see my Klaine boys again...

Oh, hey, forgot to mention it. You know that chapter where Blaine broke his arm? Yeah, a lot of people asked for the continuation of that to see what Blaine was like when he was loopy on painkillers. Well, I wrote it and put it up a few days ago and I'd love you to check it out :) It's called Loopy, surprise surprise. And loopy!Blaine is my new drunk!Blaine ;)

From Kat3418: Its mid/late January-early February Kurt is trudging into school (the courtyard perhaps?) replaying all the couple-y things he and Blaine have done and curses Mr. Shue for the BICO interruption he works himself up into a good tiff (already angry because of the snow...maybe it ruined some shoes? so now he's got ruined shoes, is trudging across dalton for school even though mckinley is closed and angry at blaine) when blaine calls him Kurt just loses it and starts yelling at him why he hasnt kissed him and if he's interested at all because if not he really needs to tell kurt so he can just get over it and why does it have to snow so freaking much in ohio? So please just make up his mind because (kurt) cant just do this subtle thing they've got going on anymore because he just -needs to know- before he gets too invested in something that may never happen and... Kurt see's Blaine in the courtyard headed to him and before he can ask again in person Blaine is kissing him.

*blinks* ... okay, I think I've got it. So basically just take all of that and put a little dialogue in and we're set? ;)

Oh, and I know it wouldn't really be snowing in February... I don't think. Presume it's a late snowfall.

Sludge

It's official. The world hates me.

Kurt growled under his breath as he stomped through the courtyard of Dalton, far too early for a Tuesday morning. He had woken up this morning to find his room freezing and his phone ringing with Finn on the other end, informing him that school was closed for the day. Normally this was something that Kurt would be equally as thrilled about - who wouldn't rather stay at home in bed reading Vogue and watching movies while it snowed outside? - except for the part where Finn had forgotten one very important thing.

Dalton was a boarding school. And while not every student boarded, those who did were still expected to attend classes in extreme weather conditions. Besides that, Dalton wasn't actually closed, only schools in the Lima area. So, while the rest of his friends were still in bed or over at each other's houses, Kurt was trying to avoid the slush coating the ground as he made his way over to the cafeteria for breakfast. Or, at least Dalton's attempt at breakfast. Which was pitiful by his standards.

"Stupid snow," he muttered to himself, not really caring how crazy he sounded. "Stupid snow and stupid McKinley for closing and stupid Dalton for being so ... stupid." Sighing, Kurt took another step then froze. Ever so slowly, he glanced down to see his shoe in a puddle of ice and growled again. "Stupid shoes!"

It wasn't so much that Kurt was frustrated by the weather - though he did have a particular hated for winter. No, Kurt was more frustrated by the particular events of his life at the moment. And, in particular (since he was overusing the word after all), one boy named Blaine Anderson.

Blaine freaking Anderson!

Kurt sighed heavily. It wasn't so much Blaine - who was only being his charming self, after all - but the way he was reading into everything Blaine did. Every look, every time he took his hand so nonchalantly, their freaking little flirty duets... who sings Baby, It's Cold Outside AND Silly Love Songs with someone if they're not interested? But Blaine still insisted that they were just friends. Or, at least Kurt thought so. Blaine had said he cared about him a lot... but then had done nothing about it. And Kurt spent every day wondering how to act around Blaine, whether the way he hugged him in greeting was slightly longer than the way he hugged anybody else.. and whether Kurt really had a chance or Blaine had just been polite back in that coffee shop.

As Kurt avoided another pile of sludge, his phone began to ring, the shrill tone of Baby It's Cold Outside only annoying him further. Why on earth did I choose that as my ringtone?

Pulling out his phone, Kurt checked his caller ID. Well speak of the freaking devil.

"Blaine."

"Hey, Kurt! Just checking whether you were coming down for breakfast or not?"

Kurt resisted the urge to growl again. "What, did you think I'd stay in my room and starve instead? The food is terrible, but at least it's halfway edible."

There was a moment of silence. "Um.. Kurt? You okay?"

And that was it.

"No, I'm not freaking okay? Why the hell should I be okay, Blaine? I'm walking through the courtyard and it's full of snow and you're here being all dapper and freaking charming all the time and confusing the hell out of me with your freaking mixed signals and I have no idea what to believe anymore! And then you tell me you care about me and then we go back to being friends again and, what, is it that you don't want to be in a relationship like that with me, you don't want to kiss me or something?"

Kurt paused for breath, ignoring Blaine's attempt to get a word in. "So if you're not interested, you need to just tell me so I can at least pretend to get over you and then things can get back to normal and -" Kurt stood in another pile of slush and groaned. "And why does it have to snow so much in Ohio anyway? This is just ridiculous, and you're ridiculous and I need to stop getting so invested in you if you don't feel the same, and of course you don't feel the same and - what are you doing?"

Kurt lowered his phone, frowning. Across the courtyard, Blaine had appeared out of the cafeteria, running towards him. His own phone was hanging limply from his hand as he skidded - literally - to a stop in front of Kurt, panting slightly. "What?" he asked, putting a hand on his hip. His bad mood was, of course, fading at the sight of his friend, but he needed to stick by what he had just rambled otherwise he was going to second guess himself.

"You.. you meant all of that?"

Kurt rolled his eyes. "No, I said it because I could. Yes, Blaine, and you already knew that."

"No I didn't." Blaine honestly looked confused and Kurt felt his temper rising, only to be put out instantly by his next sentence. "Kurt, you said you thought I was the one who was going to ask you out, you didn't say you wanted me to."

Kurt had no words. "W- what?" he managed to stammer out. But now that he thought about it, he suddenly realized Blaine was right. But he had thought it was obvious...

"I told you I'm clueless, Kurt." But for some reason, Blaine had begun to smile. "I told you I didn't want to screw things up - I meant our friendship. That's why I didn't ask you out on Valentine's Day, because I honestly didn't think you felt the same."

"T-The same?" Kurt winced, knowing he sounded like a blithering idiot. But really, who could blame him?

Blaine's smile grew wider. "The same," he agreed. "And, because I've apparently been sending mixed signals, I'd better make it completely clear."

And... oh, was that Blaine's lips pressed ever so gently up against his?

Oh, yes it was.

Kurt was kissing him back before everything had registered properly. But the feeling of Blaine's hands against his face, their bodies pressed together, everything helped Kurt to fully realize what was going on. Blaine likes me too...

Blaine pulled away, staring into his eyes. "Okay now?"

Kurt couldn't stop the smile from crossing his face - the first one he had emitted all day. "Okay," he agreed. Because no matter how depressing the weather, how ruined his shoes... he had just kissed Blaine. Nothing could really quite top that.

I will never apologize for my overuse of the word 'freaking'. Oh, and hit me up, Starkids! I know you all saw it ;)
