Okay, my thoughts on IAU. I'll make it quick. My main issue is that Glee is trying to put way too much into each episode - I feel like I've already watched a month of Glee and I have to re-watch to try and work out what's going on. Which I have to do to write FOIDH anyway but still. And cliffhanger? Really? I feel so so awful for Kurt, I think Blaine should audition for Tony and Kurt should not walk away but actually stay and hear what Blaine says and then the two of them can talk about it reasonably because their whole relationship has been reasonable to date. Quinn bugs me, Schuester bugs me, Puck is too gorgeous for words, Beth isbeautiful and I died when Kurt sang and then spontaneously combusted when Blaine sang. I'm not sure how I'm even here writing this because guh.

Bring on Asian F!

Finn

Blaine Anderson was currently sitting in Kurt Hummel's bedroom.

Of course it wasn't the first time. Blaine had slept in his bed after all, after Rachel's train wreck of a party. And Blaine had sat by his vanity, trying to teach him how to be sexy and leaving memories thatstill made Kurt cringe.

But it was quite a different story when Blaine Anderson, his boyfriend, was sitting in his room. Very different.

"Kurt?" Blaine said softly, reaching out to brush soft fingertips against the back of his hand. "You okay?"

Kurt nodded, forcing himself to meet Blaine's eyes and smile. "My boyfriend is in my room," he murmured, hoping Blaine would understand.

He did. "It's big, isn't it? We're still in high school, still in Ohio, and I'm sitting in my boyfriend's bedroom… on his bed to boot."

"It'd almost be risque if the door wasn't wide open." Kurt gestured to the aforementioned object which, per his father's rules, was indeed sitting wide open. This wasn't the first time Kurt had had Blaine over as a boyfriend, they had done the obligatory dinner and 'talk' last week, and Blaine had been over on Tuesday afternoon when Kurt had needed to pick up a few things and they had discovered the simple beauty of holding hands while driving.

But now it was a Sunday afternoon, Blaine was here for the whole day and, after they had done the family thing and had lunch, Kurt had casually taken Blaine's hand and told his father they'd be upstairs. Finn had immediately turned to Burt, waiting for him to object - there was just something about Kurt dating someone that the boy didn't seem to be comfortable with (and Kurt really hoped it wasn't his now-closeted homophobia returning). Burt had just given Kurt a look and said, "Door open."

So the door was open, but that didn't change the fact that Blaine was in his room. On his bed. With him.

"So… now what?"

Kurt shrugged. "I don't really know." He had given Blaine the grand tour, receiving hums of approval at the design scheme, but really there wasn't anything else to do except talk, which Kurt wasn't at all adverse to. "We don't get much time to just be together anymore. So let's just… be together."

Blaine nodded, still completely understanding him. "Does Finn have an issue with me?" he asked out of the blue, and Kurt noticed the flickers of worry in his eyes.

"I don't think so," Kurt said honestly. "I don't think it's you as a person anyway. You and Finn got along well before we were dating, so I think it's just the idea of someone dating me. He'd never admit it but he's gotten pretty protective of me."

Blaine laughed quietly. "So he thinks I'm just here to steal your virtue, does he?"

"That would be hard," Kurt blurted out before he realized what he was saying. As soon as he did, his face flushed and he tried to figure out how to salvage the situation. "I - I mean…"

"I think I know what you mean." Blaine's hand pulled away. "But I want to hear it from you."

And now Kurt wanted to cry because he had just ruined it all. They had this opportunity to spend time together, uninterrupted by Warbler rehearsals or crazy roommates, and he had blown it because he couldn't keep his mouth shut. But now that it was out there, Kurt realized it was probably better to talk about it instead of letting it bounce around in his head like it had been the past few weeks.

"Why haven't you kissed me yet?"

There it was, out in the open. Kurt couldn't dare to look at Blaine, afraid of what he would see in his boyfriend's eyes. Instead he stared down at his fingers, twisting them together and trying not to cry.

And then another hand was over his, gently tugging his hands apart. "Look at me?" Kurt looked up to see Blaine… smiling? "It's alright. I'm not going to get mad at you for asking questions… perfectly valid questions at that. I guess I've owed you an explanation for awhile now."

Kurt absently threaded their fingers together. "Okay?"

Blaine took a deep breath and began to talk quietly. "If I kiss you, it's going to be your first proper kiss. Your first kiss that means something. And after what you've been through, I wanted to make it the best experience I could. So I've been racking my brain trying to work out how to make it perfect and I just haven't been able to come up with anything yet."

There was a second of silence and then Kurt couldn't help himself; he laughed. Blaine immediately reared back, looking hurt and trying to pull out of Kurt's grip but Kurt wouldn't let him. "No, no I wasn't laughing at you, I promise!" he said quickly, realizing his mistake. "It's just… Blaine, it's you and you're going to be kissing me. I can't think of anything more perfect."

"Really?"

And Blaine looked so shocked that Kurt wanted to laugh again. He really has no idea about romance. "That's only been my dream since Christmas."

Blaine looked at him sheepishly. "I'm kind of oblivious, aren't I?"

"I know how you can make it up to me," Kurt murmured, his voice suddenly dropping low as he shuffled a little closer towards Blaine. And really, this was what he had wanted for so long now that he didn't even care that his dad or Finn could walk in and see them. He just wanted Blaine to kiss him more than anything.

Thankfully this time Blaine wasn't so clueless. "I think I do too," he whispered before leaning in to finally - finally - kiss him. And it was everything Kurt had wanted and nothing like he had expected and so many things that he couldn't stand it. All he could do was keep kissing Blaine like he was his oxygen.

And then the sound of footsteps could be heard and Blaine quickly pulled back before Kurt stopped him, taking his face in his hands. "No," he said quietly. "Finn's coming to 'check up on us', so let's get this out of the way."

With that, just as the footsteps echoed down the hall towards his room, Kurt leaned back in and pressed their lips together. After a moment of hesitation Blaine began to respond, just as Finn reached the door. There were a few seconds of silence where Kurt pretended he hadn't noticed Finn, then the eruption came. "Dude, get off my brother!"

As they separated, Kurt could already hear the sound of his father making his way up the stairs. "Step-brother, Finn," he said to kill time, dropping his hands from Blaine's face to join with Blaine's hands again.

"I don't care, he's not allowed to do that kind of stuff to you!"

"What kind of stuff?" Burt appeared in the doorway, looking pissed. His expression quickly changed to surprise when he saw the sight in front of him: two boys sitting together, holding hands and looking the same as they had when they went upstairs. "Finn, what did you see?"

Finn gestured to them roughly. "Ask them."

"That's fine," Kurt said quickly. "You are more than welcome to ask us. In fact, because I know you both want to so badly, ask Blaine."

Sorry, he mouthed at his boyfriend, but he knew it was the only way it would get the two men off their case. Blaine got it though. "What Finn saw was nothing more than myself and Kurt kissing. For the first time, I might add."

Burt stared at them for a second then turned to Finn. "And what's the issue with that?"

"But… he was…" Finn whirled to Kurt. "His tongue was down your throat, wasn't it?"

Kurt shook his head. "First kiss, Finn, remember? Which you just ruined, thank you very much. And if his tongue does end up down my throat at some point in the near future, what business is it of yours?"

As Finn began to protest, Burt overrode him. "Are you telling me that when you and that Quinn girl go into your bedroom, you just sit there and talk? There's no double-standard here, Kurt made that clear when he and Blaine started dating. If you and Quinn can kiss, so can they. Door's open, I trust they won't be doing anything more than kissing, and now we're going to walk away and leave them alone."

Thank you, Dad. Kurt gave his father a smile which was returned before he grabbed Finn by the arm and pulled him away from the doorway. "Well, that worked well… Blaine, what's wrong?"

Blaine lifted his head, looking dejected. "You said our first kiss was ruined."

Oh. "Blaine, I didn't mean it, I said that to wind up Finn. It was perfect I promise. In fact," Kurt leant in closer, untwining his hands from Blaine's to wrap around his neck, "how about I show you what I thought?"

Couldn't resist bashing Finn a little.
