A/N: Hey guys! Here is the new chapter - I wanted to do something fun but then it turned out really fluffy because I think it is better this way. But really it is so fluffy because yesterday I stayed all day with my friends and they can bring out the fluffier side of me XD
I think two more chapters to go after this and then we'll say goodbye to them. Let me know what you think.
20. The Truth
"Okay how are we going to handle this, Kelly?"
Alex was on the phone, trying to figure out what to do, while Penny and Amy were cooking breakfast for everybody. In the meantime Blaine tried to dig a hole in the floor by walking back and forth, while Kurt checked the internet to see if there was something on it.
"Well, hear this: well done, Blaine! That Kurt is hot!"
Blaine stopped and flew on the couch, next to Kurt, and started reading out loud.
"I still support Blaine, no matter what."
Kurt smiled and encouraged him to go on.
"Like I couldn't find a way to love Blaine even more."
Kurt put his arm around Blaine's waist and pulled him closer, nuzzling his nose in his neck.
"Your fans still love you so much."
Blaine closed his eyes and abandoned himself in Kurt's cuddling. The brunette sweetly kissing his neck and holding him tightly.
"Enough little love birds. We have work to do!"
Alex seated next to them and grabbed the laptop, typing like crazy and holding her phone squeezing it between her head and her shoulder.
"Yes, Kelly, I'm looking at it right now. Mh, mh. Yes, sure. It could go well or it could be a disaster. Yeah, I'll talk to him. Thanks, darling."
She hung up and placed the phone on the table next to the couch. She looked at Kurt and Blaine, still tangled in each others' arms, and turned the laptop to make them see the screen. And there they were: Blaine kissing Kurt and pushing him against the brick wall, and another photo of them walking hand in hand.
"We have two options: either you say you didn't know you were gay and I act like the hurt cheated on girlfriend or…"
"I'll tell the truth!"
Blaine interrupted her, then Alexis phone buzzed, she looked at the screen, shook her head and focused on Blaine again.
"Or you'll tell the truth."
They both sighed and Kurt stroked Blaine's back. Alexis phone buzzed again and she ignored it.
"Okay, I'll call Kelly, we'll arrange a press conference."
Blaine nodded and the phone buzzed again.
"Who is it?"
"No one."
Then Blaine's phone started ringing, he looked at the screen and smiled, handing the phone over to Alex.
"I think it's for you."
She looked at him, confused, and answered.
"Hello?"
"Why don't you answer your phone?"
"Sam, I can't talk right now, we're in the middle of something."
"I know, I saw the pictures. I wanted to ask you if you needed a hand with something."
"That's sweet but I actually don't have time to do this, right now."
"Okay. Let me know if you need help, seriously."
"Yeah, okay."
She hung up and turned to give the phone back to Blaine, just to find the two boys looking at her with malicious smiles on their faces.
"What?"
"So...what did he want?"
"Nothing."
"Nothing, uh?"
Penny and Amy entered the room.
"Sorry to interrupt guys, but breakfast is ready. You should eat something."
The trio got up and headed to the kitchen but not before Alex called Kelly and arranged the press conference for that afternoon.
"Penny these muffins are delicious!"
"Thanks Alex."
Kurt's hand never left Blaine's, not even while they were eating. Alex couldn't help but look at the boys, exchanging glances, smiling at each other, so lost in their little magic world. Blaine looked so happy and, as a matter of fact, it was everything she always cared about: for Blaine, his Blaine to be happy with someone. Her eyes filled with tears again, what was wrong lately? She never cried this much. She forced herself not to cry anymore and quickly wiped the tears away, trying not to get noticed. When she stared at the boys again, Kurt was holding Blaine's hands in his, kissing his knuckles sweetly.
Penny and Amy washed everything and left the room to go to work.
"Girls just don't say anything, they probably don't even know you live with Kurt."
They both nodded and were out, Alex turned at Blaine and looked at him seriously.
"So, Blaine, the conference will be at four – Kelly is preparing a little speech for you and we'll have just the important press there, no tabloids or anything."
"Great!"
Kurt's phone started ringing, he looked at the screen and gasped.
"It's my dad, sorry. It'll be just a minute."
He kissed Blaine's hand again and left the room. It was the first time Alex and Blaine were alone after the slap and the fight. They looked at each other and looked away as soon as they noticed the other was doing the same. Alex sighed and decided to make the first move.
"Look Blaine, I'm sorry. I've made a mistake, I shouldn't have slap you but I was angry, mostly at myself for being the cause of your unhappiness and I took it out on you. I'm sorry."
She placed her hand on Blaine's, he looked at it and smiled, then he looked up.
"I'm sorry too."
"About what?"
"For kicking you out of my house, for starters. And for telling you I didn't love you. I do love you, so much and you're not the cause of my unhappiness, okay?"
He cupped her cheeks and looked right in her eyes. They both smiled and nodded, then they hugged and everything was back to normal.
"So…why don't you tell me what happened with Sam?"
"Oh we have more important things to think about now."
"Really? I don't think so: nothing is more important to me than my best friend."
Alex raised an eyebrow and smiled.
"I think someone is."
She nodded towards Kurt's room, Blaine smiled and lowered his head, shyly.
"Dad! Hi!"
"What the hell is happening, Kurt?"
"Dad, please, don't freak out."
"Don't freak out? I don't hear from you for two weeks and, all of a sudden, your face is all over my tv, my newspapers and everyone at the garage is talking about you. What is going on there, kiddo?"
Kurt sighed.
"It's complicated."
"Well, good thing I'm at the airport right now, catching the first flight to Los Angeles!"
"What? No, dad, you don't need to."
"No arguing, I'll see you tonight."
Kurt heard the click on the other side of the phone and knew his father already hung up. Well, things couldn't get worse now, right?
"Breathe, babe, it's gonna be fine."
Blaine smiled and even a little giggle came out.
"What?"
Kurt looked confused.
"I love when you call me names, babe."
Kurt blushed.
"I'm sorry, it just comes out naturally."
"Hey, no need to apologize. I told you: I love it!"
Blaine kissed the tip of Kurt's nose and then Alexis entered the room.
"Five minutes, boys."
Blaine nodded, Kurt took the boy's hands and pulled him closer. They looked in each other's eyes for a second and then kissed, lightly.
"I love you."
"I love you, Kurt."
They kissed again and then Blaine held Kurt's hand, tightly.
"Okay."
He let out a big breath.
"Showtime!"
When Blaine entered the conference room, he felt all eyes on him, Alex encouraged him to take a seat next to her and Kelly. Kurt was watching him behind the scenes, the brunette smiled at Blaine and nodded slowly so the shorter boy just stood straight and swallowed, taking his seat and smiling at the journalists facing him.
"Good morning everyone."
A dozen of hands popped up but Kelly raised her hand and shook her head.
"Sorry but, before we start with the questions, Mr. Anderson has a few things he would like to say."
She pushed the microphone near Blaine and the boy looked at the notes with the speech Kelly wrote for him. He gave a quick scanning to the words and snorted.
"You know what?"
He took the notes and tore them until they were reduced in confetti.
"Fuck this shit!"
He threw the papers in the air, laughing at Alexis and Kelly's shocked faces.
"Do any of you even see how ridiculous this is? I have to do a press conference to tell you that I'm gay? Really? Are you really all so interested in the fact that I like boys, well actually recently I've just like one boy and he's sitting right there!"
He pointed at Kurt who violently blushed and bit his lower lip, embarrassed but also glad that Blaine had said those things.
"I just don't get why it is so important for you guys? I know you need something to write in those little magazines of yours, but seriously why can't you just get off my back? I'm so tired of all this. You think I'm Blaine Anderson, superstar with a perfect life but I actually felt miserable for most of it because I couldn't be myself."
He paused to take a sip of water, shaking his shoulders when Alex rested a hand on them. He raised his hands and nodded to make her understand he was okay. He got up and went around the table and stood in front of all the people in the room, smiling.
"Then something weird happened about three months ago: I met this wonderful person who showed me how to be myself, a beautiful boy who liked me even though I had to keep him hidden. We never went on a real date, where I could kiss him or hold his hand in public because I was supposed to be straight. It was just a couple of days ago I realized he didn't deserve this, and that I was making the biggest and stupidest mistake of my life."
He looked at Kurt and walked up to him, he took the boy's hands and led him to the front of the crowd. Kurt's ears where red and he was almost shaking. Blaine showed him off, pulling him near.
"Look at him! Isn't he beautiful? He is just perfect!"
Kurt was so embarrassed but he felt better when Blaine stopped and faced him, never leaving his hands and brushing his thumbs on Kurt's knuckles.
"I couldn't hide him anymore, I wanted to show him to the world and tell everybody that he is with me. That he chose me: a screwed up actor, who pretended to be someone else for so long that he was almost forgetting his real nature. He reminded me who I was."
Blaine said those things never dropping Kurt's hands and looking him right in his eyes.
"And he was so generous to let me love him and finding out I got his love back, was one of the happiest moment of my life."
He leaned in and pressed his lips on Kurt's, gently. The room went silent, it was like each person in there was holding their breath. Kurt was petrified but he gave into the kiss when Blaine cupped his neck and deepened the kiss, which lasted a couple of minutes before Blaine broke it with a smack. Kurt was feeling dizzy, he couldn't even think straight so he just looked at the beautiful boy standing in front of him. Blaine smiled at Kurt and winked at him.
"I love you, Kurt."
Kurt opened his mouth but not a sound came out, the words were stuck in his throat blocked by the lump that just formed in it. He cleared his throat and tried again.
"I love you too, Blaine."
It was just a whisper, but the room was so silent that everybody heard. Kurt could hear some sniffs coming from the people in the first rows but he could just look at Blaine, who kissed him again, then he faced the crowd.
"Now if you'll excuse us, we're gonna go to my place and have lots of wild, animal sex."
Kurt didn't even got the time to blush that Blaine was pulling him away, heading to the nearest exit. It was then that Kurt noticed his dad, arms crossed, a severe look on his face – the taller boy leaned closer to whisper in Blaine's ear.
"I suppose this is not the right time to introduce you to my father?"
