Blaine had decided not to move in with Kurt, he needed to live on his own in New York for a while before he even considered moving in with his boyfriend. It was lucky he was able to finds a nice landlord who wouldn't put him down on a lengthy contract agreement, as long as he helped her upstairs with her groceries every week.
Mrs Nelson was an old but kind lady. So Blaine didn't mind.
He had exchanged offices, his job still being the same, working behind the scenes for Broadway shows, and Kurt had been fascinated by what he actually did. And Blaine always explained it in as much detail as he could. He was part of a company that promoted and funded Broadway shows, and sometimes private off-Broadway shows too. It was Blaine's job to pick out the shows, and he also had previews of them when they were still in decision making.
"Are we done?" Kurt asked him as they sat and caught their breath.
"Yes." Blaine answered as he closed his eyes and he felt Kurt climb into his lap as lips covered his own.
Blaine hummed as he opened his mouth to Kurt's probing tongue, and pushed harder up against Kurt as his boyfriend thrust his hips downwards. There clothed erections rubbed together and they swallowed each other's loud moans as they moved against each other faster.
There was a knock on the door and Kurt groaned as he rolled off of him. Blaine rolled his eyes and laughed as he got up to answer the door.
"Hey, Killer!" Sebastian said as he forced his way inside, and crushing Blaine in a hug.
"Hey, Sebastian, what are you doing here?" Blaine asked as he hugged his friend close.
"What am I interrupting anything?" Sebastian said with a smirk as Kurt glared at him from over the back of the couch, and he smiled down at Blaine, "Oh I am."
"Seb-"
"By the way, this is my boyfriend, Paul," He gestured to the man who was still behind him by the door, and he smiled kindly at Blaine as he stuck a hand out, "Sweetheart this is the killer."
"Nice to meet you Blaine." Paul said and Blaine shook his hand, offering a small smile of his own.
"You too, Paul," Blaine said as he stepped back a little, "Please come in."
"Thanks," Paul said as he stepped inside and then closed the door behind him before holding out a bag for Blaine to take, "this is a house warming gift, it's not much but..."
"Oh, thank you so much."
Blaine looked in the bag to find a very expensive bottle of champagne inside, and he whistled low under his breath.
"Wow, really?"
"I had a whole cabinet full." Paul said with a wink and Blaine laughed.
"Party at yours next time?" Blaine said as he nudged him slightly and Paul laughed too.
"You bet."
AS they all walked towards where Kurt still sat on the couch, Kurt and Paul exchanged pleasantries while Sebastian and Blaine were talking.
"How's things been?" Sebastian whispered to him and Blaine turned from Kurt and Paul to him and grinned.
"Good."
"Great, I'm happy for you," Sebastian told him as he placed a hand on his shoulder, "what about Kurt? How's he doing...personally?"
"Oh," Blaine said as he spared a glance in his boyfriend's direction before addressing him, "He seems to be in a good place, I know he still felt a little guilty and sad at the beginning, but I think he's starting to brighten up now."
"That's good," Sebastian said and then placed his head close to Blaine's, "There is one more thing I wanted to say."
"Yeah?"
"If thinks don't go to a place of sunshine and rainbows for you two," Sebastian said almost seriously but he still had the grin, which in Blaine's opinion made what he said next, so much worse, "then I'm going to have a new set of door knockers."
With a quick glance down to Blaine's pants with his eyes, Blaine following the movement, and then he gulped as understanding swept through him.
"Seb, I won't ever hurt him, I promise."
"Ok."

Since Blaine had been in New York, his and Kurt's relationship had been infinitely better. They were closer than ever, loved spending time together. Now that they lived in the same time zone, it was a lot easier to find time together, and Blaine couldn't have felt more in love than at this moment.
He loved Kurt, he couldn't have ever imagined a life without him.
And now 3 months after he moved to New York, he was being introduced to Kurt's father.
"Honey, why are you pacing?" Kurt asked from the couch as Blaine walked around the coffee table.
"Because I'm nervous."
"He's going to love you, my father is a good person, Seb even told you about him." Kurt said in a gentle voice, keeping his tone even and calm, trying to quell his boyfriend's nerves.
"I know, but this has always been a major meeting," Blaine said in a shaky breath as he wrung his palms together and Kurt smiled gently at him, "I already knew Sam's parents before we got together, there was no pressure to get anything right."
"There's no pressure, honey," Kurt said as he stood and grabbed Blaine's shoulders to stop him from pacing, rubbing into the muscle soothingly with his thumbs, "please calm down, you're going to make me nervous."
"Sorry." Blaine said as his shoulders slumped, and Kurt pulled him in for a hug.
"Plus, my dad is going to be here for Pride," Kurt squealed a little excitedly, "I can't actually wait."
"Wait, he's staying for Pride...why?" Blaine asked as he thought about Kurt's father seeing him in a dress and heels, wincing internally.
"To see us in action, baby." Kurt said with a wink as a knock sounded on the door and he jumped up and down excitedly on the spot before running to open it.
"Dad!"
"Hey kid," a low gruff voice rang out and Blaine gulped as he tried to push his nerves down, "how you doing?"
"Good," Kurt replied and there was a shuffle from the doorway, as he pulled his dad through to the living room, "there is someone I think you should meet, dad this is Blaine, sweetie, this is my dad, Burt."
"Nice to finally meet you buddy." Burt held out a hand for Blaine to take and he grasped it gently, still shaking, and Burt frowned down at his hand before tugging Blaine into his arms, "Hey, it's ok."
"I'm just nervous." Blaine whispered as he stood against Burt's strong chest, and Kurt laughed before rubbing his back.
"Hey, I'm not that scary am I?" Burt asked as he pulled back to look at Blaine.
"You are when you don't shave." Came a sarcastic but light voice from the doorway, and Kurt ran over to hug his step mother.
"Hi, Carole." He said as he released her and she pecked his cheek, before smiling up at him gently.
"Hey sweetheart."
"Where's Finn?" Kurt asked as he looked out towards the stairwell.
"Oh, he's coming, he's carrying things." Carole said and Kurt laughed as he moved past her.
"I'll go help him."
As soon as Kurt left the apartment, Burt and Carole sat Blaine on the couch, and helped him relax a little. Carole then walked into the kitchen to start on some tea, while Burt and Blaine were talking.
"I'm going to be honest with you, kid," Burt said as he removed his cap and placed it on the table, before sitting back into the couch and smiling over at him kindly, "my son worried me for a while there...when the name came up and everything."
Blaine nodded along with agreement.
"But I told him, just like I'm telling you now, there's no point in prolonging the inevitable," Burt told him as Blaine remained silent, "life is one big risk. Right?"
Blaine smiled and nodded again.
"You don't have to be nervous," Burt told him, "you're Kurt's soulmate, that practically makes you family already."
He winked at Blaine, and then just like that, Blaine felt so much better. All the weight and pressure melting away, and as Kurt came stumbling through the door with his step-brother, laughing and joking around together, Blaine couldn't think of any family he would rather be a part of.

Kurt had told him about it, and he had seen it quite a lot of times himself, but there was still something truly wonderful about seeing Sebastian so happy and light and in love. Blaine and Kurt had been dating now, for well over 10 months, since Kurt had asked him over Skype to be his boyfriend, and Sebastian and Paul had been together for nearly a year now.
They wanted to celebrate their anniversary alone, but in honour of it, they had agreed to go on a double date a few nights before, so that Kurt and Blaine could celebrate it with them.
It was Kurt's idea.
"No! Sebastian sit down, I'll get the drinks." Kurt said as he quickly got up to got to the small bar that was just opposite of where they had been sitting for their meal.
"God...are we not allowed to get our own drinks tonight?" Sebastian asked Blaine as Paul just laughed at Kurt's exit, and Blaine shrugged.
"He wanted it to be special." Blaine told him and Sebastian rolled his eyes.
Paul leaned in towards Sebastian.
"Babe, he's your best friend, let him be happy for you," he said and Blaine watched as Sebastian's face melted into a happy grin, it was still amazing to watch, "besides, I'm not averse to being treated tonight."
"Just wait until later then." Sebastian said back to him, and the way they stared at each other almost made Blaine blush.
He shook his head and hid his grin as Kurt walked back over with fresh drinks for them all.
"G and T for you, Paul." He said as he handed out the drinks.
"Thank you, Kurt."
"Beer for you Seb," he passed Sebastian his drink and just received a wink and a smile in return, "and for you and me, sweetie, we have wine."
"Thanks, honey." Blaine said as he placed a kiss on Kurt's cheek, catching Sebastian's eye and exchanging a grin.
At the end of the night, everyone was more merry than drunk and Blaine and Paul had run to the bathroom before they left leaving Kurt and Sebastian waiting for them by the door.
"Do you ever wonder what it would have been like without them?" Sebastian asked as he threw an arm over his best friend's shoulder and Kurt shrugged.
"Not really," Kurt replied as they both looked over to where their boyfriend's had disappeared, "I couldn't actually imagine my life without him now."
"Me neither."
"Seb?"
"Mm?"
Kurt turned to Sebastian, looking up at him with warm eyes, and a smile on his face, before reaching out to take one of his hands, and holding it close to his chest.
"I never thanked you," Kurt started and at Sebastian confused look he laughed lightly, "for making me feel cared for. Even when I was being a complete bitch, and we were fighting and when Blaine come along...you didn't give up on me, you sat with me, you cried with me, comforted me...sometimes kicked my ass into gear."
Sebastian laughed as both of their eyes started shining as they stared at each other.
"But through all of that, I never really thanked you, for putting your own life on hold to make sure I was ok." Kurt continued as some tears escaped, and Sebastian reached up with one hand to brush them away, "I am so proud of you, and I love you, and I'm so glad that you're happy, Paul is an amazing guy and so are you, you deserve each other...I just wanted you to know that as your best friend, there is no one in this whole world who could take your place in my life...in my heart...so thank you."
As Blaine and Paul were making their way back over to them, Sebastian took Kurt's hand and brought it up to his lips, brushing a small kiss against his knuckles and they both smiled.
"Kurt, it was my pleasure, and I'm glad you're happy too," He said with a smile, "you and Blaine, you'll be amazing together...I know it. And I love you too."
Sebastian pulled Kurt in for a tight hug, just as Paul and Blaine reached them.
"Everything ok?" Paul asked as they pulled apart with slightly wet faces, and Blaine put his arm around Kurt.
"Everything's fine, Kurt and I were just having a little heart to heart." Sebastian reassured his boyfriend and then threw a wink to Kurt.
There was still laughter and smiles all around as they left the restaurant, and as they got to the corner where they needed to split up, Blaine turned to Kurt as they watched Sebastian and Paul walk off hand in hand.
"You sure everything's ok?" Blaine asked as he leaned against him, and Kurt smiled before wrapping his arm around his own boyfriend.
"I'm sure," Kurt replied as he turned to Blaine with a smile, "let's go home."
