Oh my Klaine-loving heart. I won't say what the spoilers were but I woke up, checked my Tumblr dash and literally started tearing up. I just... I can't. I will be such a wreck on Wednesday when I watch this. I just can't wait until you've all seen it too because... well. Well.
People have asked where to find spoilers. Tumblr is always your best bet because people link everything there - Twitter, YouTube, other websites with interviews and so on. If you don't have one, you can always check mine because trust me, it has spoilers. Link is on my profile.
From Robin G(Anonymous): But the one thing that's always kind of bugged me about how the two of them got together in the show is that Blaine never seemed to have to deal with all the crap he pulled with Kurt (even if the poor, oblivious, little thing didn't realize what he was doing). He totally should've realized how bad he made Kurt feel. So I was thinking that Brittany (Brit's sweet, innocent-ness and lack of understanding things is such a convenient plot point) is visiting Kurt at Dalton for whatever reason and they're hanging out alone, taking about some party or something and right around when Blaine (and maybe some other Warblers) come to the door and accidentally overhear, Brit says something like "Well, just invite that short guy you're dating. Blaine or whatever." And at first Blaine is a bit embarrassed but amused, the other Warblers ribbing him a bit, but then Kurt goes "We're not dating, hon." Brit: "I thought you were?" Kurt: "Most resoundingly no." And suddenly, Blaine kind of feels bad, that Kurt seems so resolute, didn't he say he likes Blaine? When Brit innocently asks why not, Kurt goes on to say something like "Well, I thought he liked me too; he seemed to hint at it, but THAT was blown out of the water." The he goes on about how badly Blaine handled their "Harry met Sally" dynamic (just going back to acting like nothing happens, then making out with and dating Rachel, seeming to not get why Kurt would be offended and hurt, then the whole basically telling him to his face that he's not sexy). And maybe the conversation finishes up with something like, Brit: "Well, that's stupid, why doesn't he like you?" and Kurt, painfully honest: "I don't know, Brit. I'm kind of working with the theory that I'm even less desirable than I had previously assumed." Cue Blaine feeling awful. (And then of course thinking things over, realizing he's an idiot, and kissing Kurt to make sure he realizes that he is DEFINITELY desirable.)
Well… I'm just going to go ahead and not even write a story. It's already written for me.
;)
Desirable
Kurt really was such a wonderful friend.
Blaine knew this one first hand. He knew that Kurt was the kind of guy who seemed kind of selfish on the outside but really put everybody else in his life before himself (maybe not as much when it came to solos but that was kind of irrelevant). He accepted other people's mistakes - and Blaine had made a lot of mistakes in the past, he knew - and forgave them. It was inspiring and amazing and, quite frankly, deserved to be recognized.
So Blaine was doing the only thing he could think to do in this scenario - he was headed towards Kurt's door with Wes, David and Thad in tow to invite Kurt to audition for a solo for Regionals.
Yeah, maybe Kurt's last solo audition hadn't gone down so well. But he was a part of the Warblers now and seemed to have adjusted into the group, learned how to be a part of the song and the music they were creating instead of needing to stand out. Kurt would surely pick a better song this time and Blaine was all but confident that a solo would be coming his friend's way very soon.
"Ten bucks on something Adele."
"Done. Blaine?"
Blaine stifled a sigh. The other three boys had been trying to guess what Kurt would choose to audition and somewhere along the line had turned it into a bet. A bet that Blaine was now being forced to participate in. "Beatles," he said quickly before pausing, stopping the other boys. "Who's in there?"
"Is that a girl?" David whispered before Wes elbowed him to shut up.
Because it was. It was seven at night on a weekday and Kurt had a girl in his bedroom - well against the rules, since all visitors were meant to leave the campus by six on a weekday night and girls were definitely not meant to be in bedrooms, no matter the sexuality of either person for equality sakes. So Kurt was breaking the rules and Blaine could already see Wes wanting to turn around and walk away and not offer Kurt the solo. But before he could say anything to try and dissuade his friend, Blaine heard the girl pipe up again. "It's going to be so much fun though!"
"Brit, you know I'm always up for a party but I don't know if I can take a night off. I've got a lot of homework piling up that I need to get done this weekend."
Blaine felt a twang of guilt at that. The first few months he had kept an eye on Kurt, making sure the work load wasn't too much for his friend. But after awhile, Kurt had seemed to be settling in fine so Blaine left him to it, and now to find out that he was struggling… well, it sucked. It kind of felt like Blaine had just gone and let him down again.
And then the most adorable whine Blaine had ever heard came out of the room. "Pleeease?"
Wes melted - Blaine knew this girl could just walk out and demand his gavel and Wes would hand it over and probably try and pet her hair or something - and David rolled his eyes. "Come on, Kurt's not going to -"
"Five bucks he will," Thad said quickly.
"Oh, I can't resist when you look at me like that!" came from the room a moment later and Thad silently fist bumped the air before holding a hand out to David who rummaged for his wallet with a sour look. "Okay, I'll be there."
"Great! And it's a couples thing so make sure you bring that boyfriend of yours."
Boyfriend?
Blaine tried to keep his face indifferent but the fact that all three of the boys were staring at him with mirth evident showed that he was clearly doing a bad job. But seriously, when did Kurt get a boyfriend?
Wes suddenly snorted. "Ten bucks she's referring to Blaine!"
"No way!" Thad said. "Fifteen that Kurt's gotten himself a boyfriend outside the Warblers - maybe that Anthony who keeps looking at him."
Before Blaine could dwell on the fact that there was an Anthony looking at Kurt and then wonder whey he cared, Kurt was replying, his tone confused. "I don't have a boyfriend, Brit."
"What about that short guy? Blaine?"
Wes and David high fived before Wes clicked in Thad's direction, waiting for him to hand over the money. Blaine was barely aware of that though, stepping a little closer to the door and listening, dying for Kurt's response even though he wasn't sure he wanted to know, wasn't sure what he didn't want to know.
"We're not dating, hun."
Kurt's voice was so final, so sure, that Blaine suddenly wanted to cry. And that was just ridiculous because of course they weren't dating and Blaine knew that.
So why did it hurt?
"I thought you were?" Brittany sounded confused - something Kurt had assured him was natural for her.
Kurt didn't even falter. "Most resoundingly no."
But… I thought he liked me? He's acting like he doesn't even care.
The other three guys were watching now, silent as if they realized the seriousness of the situation. Blaine gritted his teeth and ignored them, focusing on the conversation still happening in the room.
"But why wouldn't he date you? You're wonderful and you're both boys who like other boys so shouldn't it be easy?"
Brittany kind of had a really good argument there - the way she put it actually did make it sound really easy… but no. Blaine had already told Kurt he wasn't interested in a relationship. He cared too much about Kurt to ever try to fracture their friendship with a relationship.
Wait.
But there was no time to try and think more about that because Kurt was replying, his voice both tense and resigned. "Well I thought he might be at least a little interested, he hinted at something after all -" Blaine felt a nudge to the ribs and batted the hand away irritably because now was not the time. "But apparently that's been completely blown out of the water because he hasn't so much as said a word to me about it since Valentine's Day. And I mean, we sang that song together and he kept looking at me during all the lines that would indicate something more than friendship…" Kurt sighed hard. "No. Nothing."
"But what happened? You're still friends aren't you?"
Kurt laughed. "Oh yes, we are. We had a fight the other week after Rachel's party -"
"I can't remember anything from that," Brittany admitted. "I just woke up and Artie was wearing my shirt but I wasn't wearing his."
Blaine could already tell the guys were glaring daggers into his back and winced, knowing he had a lot of explaining to do. He had assured them that the party he and Kurt were sneaking off campus for was definitely not going to be interesting or wild - that said, Blaine certainly hadn't expected what was going to happen that night. Neither had Kurt, the boy had admitted later that he never knew Rachel had it in her.
Kurt's laughter sounded more real now. "I think Blaine was one of the only ones except me and Finn who remembered anything. I still have Puck terrified that he and Lauren got to third base and he doesn't remember it." Blaine suppressed a snort - he knew full well that Lauren and Puck definitely didn't get any further than… well, anything. "But yes, Blaine and Rachel kissed and he thought he might be interested in her."
"You never told us about that!"
"That's because it wasn't important!" Blaine hissed back, finally turning to glare at David. "So just shut up."
"But doesn't Blaine like boys?"
Kurt was silent for a long moment. "He does. He just got confused."
"I understand that," Brittany said immediately. "Kurt, why do you look so upset?"
There was a sigh. "Because I wasn't fair to Blaine. He was confused and I didn't help him, I tried to tell him what he should think instead and that's not what friends should do. Friends should accept each other no matter what and I still owe Blaine an apology for that, even if I did turn out to be right. That's not what matters."
Blaine had to reach for the door frame at that, closing his eyes. He just keeps getting more and more amazing and I don't deserve him, not as a friend, not as…
What?
"Is that why he doesn't like you?"
Blaine nearly cried.
"I don't believe so," Kurt said, his tone thoughtful. "He mentioned the whole When Harry Meets Sally thing - I don't think you've seen it Brit. Come to think of it, I don't know if he has either because he agreed to it but never really took it any further than that. I left it, figuring the ball was in his court but then he flat out told me I wasn't even close to sexy so -"
"You did what?"
Blaine cringed, slowly turning to see three sets of raised eyebrows. "Oh, come on, you all saw him during Animal! I didn't mean not sexy at all, I just meant he was trying too hard during that performance and if he relaxed he would have been plenty -" Blaine shut his mouth, horrified, but the damage was done.
"You like him," Wes stated as if it were obvious. Which, now that Blaine thought about it…
Oh.
"But you are sexy," Brittany was saying, sounding confused. "I liked making out with you even though you didn't seem that into it." The three guys behind Blaine choked and Blaine rolled his eyes. He had already known about that, of course. Kurt told him pretty much everything.
… this really wasn't helping the mounting case against him.
"That probably shouldn't be a compliment but I'll take it," Kurt said sounding amused. "So that leaves us where we are now - friends, like always."
"But I don't understand. That's so stupid, why doesn't he like you?"
Blaine was wondering whether it would be too cliche to burst in the door right now and say something like he does when Kurt answered. "I don't know. I'm kind of working with the theory that I'm even less desirable than I thought."
Three elbows to the ribs and Blaine spun, glaring at them. "I know, I know! I'm going to do something about it."
"Well you might want to do that soon."
The four boys froze and Kurt's voice followed, sounding confused. "Brit? Who are you talking to?"
"The boys outside your door talking to Blaine and telling him to come in and tell you he likes you. I have really good hearing, they've been there the whole time listening."
The silence was painful. Blaine didn't know what Kurt was thinking, whether he was going to refuse to talk to Blaine again or feel like his privacy had been completely invaded or say Blaine was too late and had lost his chance -
"Blaine?"
Blaine pushed open the door and entered.
Kurt and Brittany were sitting on Kurt's bed, Brittany with her back to Kurt as he braided her hair. For a long moment there was silence as Kurt tied off the braid before the two turned to face him. "Wes, Thad, David."
Wincing, Blaine turned around to find that the three boys had followed him in. "Think you could get lost for five minutes, guys?"
"Nope," Wes said immediately before leaning around Blaine to smile at the blonde girl. "You must be Brittany." Brittany gave a little wave before hopping up off the bed and wandering over to the boys. Blaine sighed and crossed the room to sit in the now vacant spot, blocking out the shameless flirting going on in the corner.
Kurt, to his surprise, wasn't looking away. Instead he met Blaine's gaze steadily, calmly. "So, you overheard."
"Unintentionally," Blaine was quick to explain. "We were coming up here to talk to you."
"I figured as much. Those three aren't exactly the best spying partners."
Blaine had to laugh in agreement. "But I'm glad I heard," he said quietly because even if the others seemed preoccupied, Blaine wanted to be sure this conversation would be just between them. "I'm not sure if you are and if you want me to pretend I never heard anything, I can do that. But it will change things and if it doesn't happen now, you will have me showing up soon to ask you out."
Again, Kurt didn't seem surprised. "I hadn't quite given up," he explained in response to Blaine's raised eyebrow. "It's easy for me to get on a tangent and start wining like that. But I always hoped that somewhere at the back of your mind you would still be thinking over what I had said. You've been very confused lately and I can tell you've been searching so I didn't want to push you because I was hoping that in the end, what you would find would be me. When I heard you'd been listening outside, my first reaction was to push you away but then I realized that perhaps you had listened because you had heard something that made sense and… well, I just had to find out. The second you walked in -" Kurt shrugged a little, a smile playing around the corners of his mouth. "I knew. You knew."
"Do I have to wait?"
The smile developed. "God no. I've been waiting long enough."
The other four immediately silenced as the two boys leaned in and kissed. A moment later there was a disappointed groan from both Wes and David. "Why did nobody bet on them kissing together?" David moaned. "I was sure it was gonna be Blaine!"
Blaine found himself laughing which was just too counterproductive to kissing that he had to pull away with an apologetic look. "Will you guys ever stop betting on things?"
"And get out of my room," Kurt added before groaning as Thad held out a hand to David. "You bet on me kicking you out?"
"Seriously?" Blaine added. "That's a given. Kurt kicks you out of everywhere."
The boys showed no indication of moving. "You can take Brittany with you," Kurt conceded and Blaine blinked as the boys all but raced each other to get out the door, Brittany skipping along behind. "Now, where were we?"
Before Kurt could tempt him with those lips again, Blaine knew he had things to say. "I owe you a huge apology," he said quietly. "I've really been an idiot and I treated you so badly and I just… I don't get how you still want me."
"Because you, Blaine Anderson, are so much more than your mistakes," Kurt said, not a trace of doubt in his tone. "And you're human. They happen. What matters is the way you fix them - we mended our fight after the party, we… sort of talked after we sang Animal," Kurt winced and Blaine suppressed a laugh, "and now you're talking to me about this. And considering you're probably about five seconds from asking me out, I'd say we're even."
Well, Blaine couldn't be predictable now, could he?
"That can wait," he said, pausing until Kurt's eyebrows were raised in confusion then taking Kurt's face in his hands and kissing him again. "This is much more important," he murmured against Kurt's lips.
Without looking, he knew there was a smile on his to-be-boyfriend's mouth, and Blaine had finally been the one to put it there instead of the one to wipe it off all the time.
It felt so good.
Can I just say how strange it is that I'm still writing them only just getting together when... well.
