This is set to episode 3:17 "Dance with Somebody", as the only thing I could think of when I saw the prompt-word Dare was this particular song.

Written in a rush, so don't expect much :p

Blaine really doesn't like this song.

Share my life, Take me for what I am, 'Cause I'll never change All my colours for you.

Oh, he loves watching his boyfriend sing, his voice is phenomenal, and he is killing this song. And as much as Blaine usually adores Whitney Houston, he really doesn't like this song.

He never wanted Kurt to change, quite the opposite; he's always admired his unapologetic demand to be who he is. But they can only be two in this relationship, and Blaine hated feeling as if he was playing third violin.

He loves Kurt for who he is, but something has to change if they have a future. Blaine trusts Kurt, but… But. But he needs to know that they are on the same page when defining limits and freedom in this relationship, and especially when it'll be long-distance.

Mike is looking strangely at him, and Blaine glares immaturely at him. As if Tina and he have a perfect relationship…

Take my love, I'll never ask for too much. Just all that you are, And everything that you do.

Blaine seriously doesn't like this song. Kurt may say he wants Blaine just as he is, but he hasn't made him feel it lately. And doesn't action speak louder than words? How can Blaine know for sure what Kurt really feels about him, when he's giggling and blushing at texts from other boys? What if Kurt is tired of him, and they are just drifting apart, the thrilling flames of a high school-sweetheart fading out?

I don't really need to look Very much further, I don't want to have to go Where you don't follow.

Oh crap. Kurt is looking straight at him, and he isn't begging or pleading. No, he looks certain and confident. This is the truth, nothing to discuss or compromise. Kurt wants to go to New York, but he wants Blaine to join him when he graduates in a year. And if Blaine isn't sharing his dream? Will he remain in Ohio, or are there other dreams? And is Blaine really so important to him, that he'll shape his education and future to fit with Blaine's? Then why haven't Blaine felt important to Kurt lately? What are they doing?

I will hold it back again This passion inside, Can't run from myself, There's nowhere to hide.

Blaine hates this song. He thought they were solid. They've been dating for more than a year, they've survived distance, a transfer, Sebastian, the drunk visit to Scandals, auditioning for the same role, figuring out sex, and standing above the relationship-mayhem that seems to curse anyone being a part of New Directions. Troughout the time Blaine's known Kurt, he's watched the boy bloom, regaining his confidence and pride. He was at a low point when he came to Dalton, but Kurt Hummel has stopped hiding and has grown into his skin – and not just in the naked under his clothes-way. Kurt is passion and bright and pure and honest.

Don't make me close one more door, I don't want to hurt anymore. Stay in my arms if you dare, Or must I imagine you there.

Blaine loathes this song. Kurt's had so many no's in his life, he's been through so much pain – and Blaine wasn't supposed to be someone refusing his hand or hurting him. But to think that Kurt would have to dare Blaine to stay? As if there are any other options he honestly wants to consider?

He blinks, eyes getting foggy and affected. Of course he wants to stay in Kurt's arms, in his soul, in his mind. He's so fucking proud of Kurt, and he's beyond proud of what they've had together, what they are constantly battling and coming out on the other end stronger, better and more in love. Asking Kurt to be his was the single most scary thing Blaine has done for himself, but it was also the only possible alternative. Being a gay couple in prejudiced Ohio is hopefully the hardest thing they'll have to battle in their lives. But it's never been a sacrifice, or a burden, or something he has to brave through. Loving Kurt and being his boyfriend is the easiest, simplest and most obvious thing for how complicated it seems right now. And if Kurt can't see that? If he thinks he has to challenge or dare Blaine to stay? Doesn't he know how absolutely gaga Blaine is for him?

Don't walk away from me. I have nothing, nothing, nothing, If I don't have you, you, you, you, you.

And maybe this song actually isn't so bad, because Kurt might as well be singing about how Blaine feels. Without Kurt, Blaine has and is nothing. Kurt is his reason for everything.

He hides his trembling lips behind his hands, and blinks, but doesn't look away from Kurt. They've both messed up. Kurt shouldn't have texted like that with Chandler, but Blaine should have let him know how it made him feel instead of withdrawing as if he seriously thought he could prepare himself for the loneliness and ache that inevitably will happen when he's seeing Kurt off to New York.

They messed up, but they can fix this. Their love will survive this too, and Blaine just knows their story is one for the movies, and they will have their happy ending when they've endured the next challenging year. Kurt and Blaine are forever.

It's not a dare; it's a promise.
