Kurt and Blaine decide to go for a trick or treat before they go to the carnival. Blaine is so impressed with Kurt's camouflage and his own neighbors not recognizing him. Even Finn didn't recognize him.
Finally, they go to pick Mercedes and Sam up.
Kurt presses the calling bell to surprise his friend. They hear the doorknob screeching.
"Trick or treat Ba Da Bing" Snooki sassily.
"Hey, what's a guy gotta do to get a candy situation up in here, huh?" The voice comes behind Snooki, extending his harm with the candy basket. Mercedes rolls her eyes mouthing ' another trick or treating ' with a disgusting look. The 'trick or treating' duo turn around in disappointment when Mercedes' voice hits them like thunder.
'Wait! I've seen these eyes somewhere. ' She stands there thinking. Those eyes make her realize who it was. She steps out and throws abruptly on Snooki.
'Kurt, what is this? you make a cute girl!' Kurt is laughing there, holding Mercedes. Sam comes out too, his eyes first laying on Blaine. He extends his arm to Blaine for a fist -bump.
'My name is Sam. whoa, a cool outfit,' Sam is amused.
' Hey, I'm Blaine. Thank you, and your outfit is so cool too. ' Blaine finds a spark of instant friendship with this guy who is wearing Like the star- lord. soon, all of the 4 people leave Mercedes' house towards their anticipating carnival.
Their hearts are upbeating with all the craziness of the carnival. With twilight changing into dark night, the lightings, people dressed up in costumes, the smell of foods are enough to tell how fun this carnival is gonna be. Kurt and Blaine bid goodbye to the other duo they came with and run towards everything to try.
'You are such a good shooter, Kurt! I didn't know about that!' Blaine stands in amazement as Kurt aims for the bowtie Blaine wanted and there! he got it.
Kurt gets the Bowtie from the stall-keeper and extends to Blaine.
'Blaine, Accept this as a token of our friendship. The golden and the red combination defines the friendship and the love we have for each other as friends.' Blaine's eyes are filled with water and he throws himself on Kurt sideways.
' Thank you so much. I will surely cherish this', Blaine says with a cute smile. Amidst all of their laughs and enjoyment, Blaine notices Kurt pulling his pocket mirror and looking disgusted, but this time, very often. Not just that, Kurt isn't eating much, just a bite. Blaine notices Kurt getting skinnier day by day, with his bones showing up as a recurrent character.
Kurt doesn't fail to notice Blaine going into deep thoughts. Only if they could help each other out of their misery...
Finally, after having all the fun, They are standing thinking of what next, when they bump into Jane with her friends. Jane can hear whispers of theories about Blaine with Kurt and Jane getting dumped. Jane reaches her boiling point when she bursts out:
' WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING, BLAINE? YOU TOLD ME YOU WERE HAVING SOME IMPORTANT WORK FOR AN EXCUSE AND NOW, YOU ARE MAKING OUT WITH ANOTHER GIRL?'
It's Blaine's turn to speak up,' Look, Jane, I am n-not making out with this girl, this is not a girl, first of all. This is Kurt, He is a friend of mine.' Kurt is internally giggling, feeling proud of his Halloween disguise, but he has never seen Blaine this hard. Jane is furious by now and just snaps at Blaine:
' Look. I am not some accessory that you can just wear to your liking. We must be spending time together and you ruined it. You are my boyfriend and this is not fair. Girls, we are leaving...' Jane walks furiously, hitting her feet on the fresh grass, with her flock following behind.
Blaine stands there in shock and anger- anger with himself. He can't live with the person he loves and he can't be true to another person who trusts him. He feels so pathetic and looks at Kurt's face which is clearly showing the sign of concern and question.
'I am sorry. I didn't know you were facing this. Do have anything to help you? Can I convince her? Maybe We should end our night here, You are looking miserable.' Kurt is panicking out a little.
Blaine holds Kurt's shoulder,' Hey, hey hey, I know this will happen anyway. I told you, she's annoying. You don't have to worry. You know what? Fuck her. you are coming with me to that tent. Let's have some drinks.'
Blaine pulls Kurt and Kurt jerks in his pull, nearly tripping on his heels. Kurt feels some kind of goosebumps or ... butterflies in his stomach. He always wanted somebody to hold his hand and run to their hearts' desire. Running with Blaine holding his wrist feels like something that can happen forever.
Inside the tent is a setup of a pub-like environment. With disco lights, dance floors, drinks, and tables, It is giving a pure attraction to try out at least once. With all the crowding and their costumes, they manage to sneak into the tent. It is a beautiful place to spend the rest of their night, with ceiling hangers and later. They decide not to go further into the tent, as it is for adults.
' Okay, my last treat for today, Kurt. You should try Shirley temple. I mean it's quite refreshing and good for your body' Blaine says. Kurt keeps nodding no when the bartender seduces Kurt to buy one,' Well, this helps in reducing weight.' These words get into Kurt's mind and he immediately orders one.
Blaine doesn't know if the Bartender was true, but Blaine finally realizes- he is insecure about his body! He is becoming paler and isn't good for him. The drinks are being served and Blaine decides to take a little alcohol as he had tasted that before and it's the only chance.
'Do you really have to take alcohol, Blaine?' Kurt raises his eyebrow,' I thought you would never taste one.'
' Every person's dream on a 'perfect boy' ' Blaine says sarcastically,' Just a little, you know it's the only chance. Don't worry, it will not go beyond the limit.'. Kurt doesn't want to piss off Blaine, He's just his friend, who is he to tell him?
Blaine is fine at first, he suddenly jerks up from the chair and extends his hand to Kurt,' Would like to dance with me? Well, as a friend, like a b-brother...'
Kurt is a little afraid of the consequence; being in a conservative town and having got the taste of what is being gay, he wants to refuse the offer. Blaine doesn't wait for his response; He pulls Kurt out of his chair for dance. It all starts with a real friendly dance like Harry and Hermione. Just twirling and goofing around. After every song, Blaine goes for a drink and he gets sober.
Kurt notices Blaine, changing his way of dance. It isn't like he's gonna complain, but it is visible. Blaine slides his hand through Kurt's and finally holds his hip with one hand and his other one on Kurt's shoulder. Kurt's feeling of butterflies in his stomach increases minute by minute. He gets mesmerized at the sight of Blaine's holding him and his half-closed hazel eyes. His heart is pounding as he lets Blaine drive his moves. He wouldn't usually allow anybody to keep hands on his body, But he is able to resist Blaine. Blaine lies his head on Kurt's shoulder with a piece of pleasant music going behind, Kurt hears slight whispers in his ear.
Blaine is too drink to his subconscious state and all Kurt knew is Blaine's heart can pour out anytime. His soft whispers of ' I love you'keep ringing and making Kurt nervous. He hasn't heard these words from a boy in a passionate way. Kurt isn't sure who he is meaning. He thought it was Jane until he is murmuring Kurt's name. Kurt is surprised as to why Blaine is muttering his name. In all of the craziness around him, he just wants to hold Blaine like that, even if he is drunk right now. He just dances there, blushing, until he realizes the grip getting harder.
David, Blaine's friend found his way to him to see Blaine in such a state. Kurt eyes David to catch him and help Blaine. Kurt takes Blaine's hand to put against his hip and the other hand around David. They walk slowly, passing Jane who is in confusion and rage of betrayal. Kurt helps Blaine into his car and lets David get into the car.
Nick and Jeff are staying at their friends' house in Lima and so, It's Kurt, David, and Blaine. The drive goes silent. David keeps pondering about the sight he saw- Blaine holding Kurt by his hip and lying on his shoulder, there is no way a friend will hold like this. And finally, David decides- he's gonna ask about his weird behaviour tomorrow. and finally, they reach their dorm with Kurt helping them.
Kurt finally reaches home, after all, craziness. Finn hasn't returned yet and Carole went to bed. It is just Burt, sitting on the couch.
'Hey kiddo, how did your evening go?'
'Pretty g-good dad. Most of them found it hard to recognize me, some even kept calling me a girl. Kurt is chuckling as he says.
'Sure, you are looking like my beautiful daughter. You are beautiful, Kurt, I had to say.' Burt gets up and gives Kurt a big hug. He couldn't refuse it, he is his dad, but he starts to twist in his arms to release himself.
'Dad, did you eat? did you take medicines?' Burt nods no and Kurt rolls his eyes.
'Oh dad, how many times should I say that your routine is important? i am cooking for you .' Kurt goes straight into the kitchen and cooks as he scrolls his friends' pictures of the carnival on the phone. And then there is a selfie -of him and Blaine. He blushes seeing the silliness of the photo and finds himself pulled back into the recent past when the oven dings.
'Dinner is ready! and your Medicines. I ate at the carnival. I am going upstairs, call me if you want,' Kurt says as he serves the dinner.
'Thank you, Kurt. You need some rest and some wash for your body-the spray tan on you looks ridiculous' Burt says with a chuckle.
Kurt nods take his things upstairs. He takes a hot tub bath which is so refreshing. His tub bath is filled with all kinds of thoughts- his thought on Blaine.
What was Blaine trying to say? why was he harsh to his girlfriend? why does he care so much for Kurt?
These questions are running in Kurt's mind like chain saws in the air. Soon his thoughts shift to the sweet memories of that evening with Blaine. Every time he thinks of Blaine, he blushes without his knowledge, He feels butterflies in his stomach. The touch of Blaine's hand on his hip though it was burning, Blaine pulling his wrist and running - Kurt wishes these things to be forever.
Kurt's heart starts to beat fast, He gets out of the hot tub in a flash and dresses up to get ready for a live update.
Blaine wakes up, startles the next morning, from his bed, in his Halloween costume. He has a slit headache because of the alcohol he had the day before. He sees David standing there in his pyjamas, beside him.
'Hey Blaine, Good morning! Hangover huh? here, take aspirin and drink this glass of water. Go for an hour of sleep. I'll wake you up, I promise'
Blaine accepts David's offer and doesn't speak anything as his headache is splitting his head. Blaine goes to sleep, to get woken up by David as promised. David leaves Blaine for his own sanity while getting prepared for his investigation. Blaine gets freshened up, dressed up and eats some takeaway that David left him. Blaine decides to attend his classes from the afternoon and this leaves him time to sketch his latest sweet memory- the selfie with kurt and Blaine in their costumes.
David breaks in, with full courage to ask Blaine. He sees Blaine sketching something, and David is quick to pull the notebook from Blaine's hand. Blaine starts to tackle David as he tries to pull the notebook.
David finally shouts at Blaine,' ENOUGH BLAINE! ONE QUESTION AND I AM GIVING YOU THIS BACK'. Blaine becomes silent and feels defeated. David takes a quick flipping of the pages and finds many sketches of a boy.
David calms down and keeps his hand on Blaine's shoulder.
'Blaine, we've been best friends since freshman year. We've been there for each other's happenings. I -I can't see you going miserable like that. It hurts me, seeing you whining and shouting in the middle of the night. I just want to help you, Blaine. I have no wrong intentions. I have been watching you for a long time, you aren't as enthusiastic as you were before. What bothers you?'
Blaine's eyes start to push tears out, in pure pain. He wants somebody to sit and listen to him and he gets a chance now, but he couldn't open his mouth. David doesn't want to leave this time. He is determined to find the mystery, no matter what it costs.
'WHAT DO YOU WANT?'Blaine is practically shouting at David with tears'.
'Stop shouting Blaine. You are gonna freak out the whole academy. Answer this question. Why were you drunk the last night?'
Blaine trusts David with his whole heart. He has nothing to lose now and finally decides to speak up.
'Uh..I just w-wanted to try these t-things, David'
'Hmm Hmm? stop lying Blaine. There is something else. You were holding Kurt yesterday in a way that will never convince me as a friendly hold. And this notebook... why are drawing this boys picture? You have named it SECRET. What are you hiding?'
Dave pats assuringly that he will help Blaine in possible ways and it will be a secret. Blaine bursts into cries, so pathetically, That he hugs David so tight and wets his shirt. David is dying inside seeing his friend like this, but all he can do is to lead his arms and wait for the secret to get revealed.
Blaine stops crying after a few minutes and finally gets ready to face his demon- fear.
'Well, are you ready?' David asks as if he's gonna face a battle.
David can hear only whispers. Dave gets up to latch the door, assuring this secret will never go out.
Blaine starts to open his mouth finally, with tears cascading out of his eyes.
' You know, I always wanted to speak this to somebody. It kills me every day hiding this thing inside me. It's so painful and ...and' Blaine can't get enough words to describe his pain and his frustration.
' I am there, Blaine. Just open up your heart', David hugs Blaine in a way of comfort.
Blaine gives his courage one more chance to show up.' I-i d-don't k-know if I c-can say this. ' Blaine takes a deep breath.
'I love Kurt. I love him with my whole heart. He is the love of my eyes. The drawings in the notebook, are the pictures of Kurt on every occasion we spent together.'
David is surprised that he has to double-take. 'Well, I love him. He makes me feel so comfortable and homely in my own body and mind. I always admired Kurt for being open and proud, which I cannot be any day. I can't speak this to my family, you know about my dad', Blaine stutters with more tears.
'I just want to escape from reality. The first time I tried Alcohol at Jeff's part, I liked the feel of it. Kurt doesn't know about this. To live with a fake girlfriend, lies and handcuffs, it's horrible.
I-I'm Gay'.
Kurt sits at his desk pulling a familiar diary- the diary which he writes to his mom. He writes about his day at the carnival, letting his pen, run on its own. He comes to the most anticipating part of his diary writing
'Mom, I think I'm in love with Blaine.'
Another chapter yeah! And as I say, reviews and love are welcomed with open hands .
