CHAPTER 2- BLAINE, Dalton Academy,
Oh God, he'll say no, he'll refuse, he'll call me pathetic, he'll say there's nothing left for him at Dalton now that I had gone cuckoo, I stood impatiently, my hands shaking in my pockets,
Kurt looked directly at me and nodded, I couldn't help but give a great grin, taking him in my arms and hugging him tightly, Only after a few seconds of our embrace had I realised that there was more people surrounding us than I originally thought, but that didn't matter, I was overwhelmed by excitement for the events planned tonight,
"Okay, I gotta run now, Jeff's got a problem, but meet me by the main doors at 7, okay? Oh, and, erm, you don't need to bring anything,"
"Okay Blaine, I'll see you then, Have fun!" I heard Kurt call out as I sprinted down the hall to attend to Jeff's problem, I know it sounds weird, me stepping in Kurt's way to stop him leaving, then rushing to leave myself. I just really needed to ask him and receive an answer. I had been planning this for weeks on end, and I couldn't just let a chance to ask him pass me by yet again, It would kill me to see him walk away without my question in his thoughts at least,
I couldn't help but then think about what Kurt might be thinking about, I knew he missed McKinley, he told me all of the things the New Directions would do and sing and all about the members like Rachel and Finn, Maybe he was thinking about them, maybe he was considering moving back- but I'd have to stop him, his place is in Dalton with the Warblers now, Life before he came, sure it was good, nothing special but nothing too bad, but then he turned up and watched us all in Warbler practice and since then, it's never been quite the same without Kurt, It was like I was ever so slowly falling in love-
"BLAINE!" Jeff yelled from down the hallway, That was when I knew that either my daydreaming had taken control and I had slowed down to the pace of a snail, or that this minor problem had just got serious, I shook my head back to reality, thoughts of Kurt and his possible thoughts quickly fading away, and ran down to sort the situation out,
"What is it? What's going on?"
"Blaine, we have a problem,"
"Would never have guessed, Jeff, Why'd you think I sprinted down here?"
-Later that day-
I was waiting at the doors for him. It was 7pm, on the dot. I was nervous, no denying that. All I could think was, Oh God, what if he stood me up? What if I'm just being messed around? I bet he doesn't like me, I bet he prefers someone else. The Gap incident, that's what it is, he's been completely put off because of it. Is he scared that I'll serenade him or something? As much as I would like to, I don't want to ruin this. Oh please turn up, please please please Kurt-
"Blaine!" a voice came from behind me, as two arms grabbed my waist and a head rested on my shoulder. "Ready to go?"
"Kurt, hey, yeah, sure, come on, it's all ready for us."
"Ooooooh, sounds exciting! Where exactly are we going though Blaine?"
"Can't you remember what I said? It's an adventure silly."
"Oh Blaine, please, I'm all for surprises but at least give me a hint!"
I shook my head. I wanted to see his reaction when he saw it. That meant no hints. None. Nada. He kept poking me and begging for some sort of hint while we went to the surprise I had planned. When we were close, I told him to close his eyes as I guided him to a blanket, with pillows and a picnic basket. I took a deep breath and hoped for the best as I told Kurt to open his eyes.
"Oh my, Blaine, this is, I can't, Blaine-" Kurt was really speechless. He hugged me tight and I held on to him as he did so. He let loose a little and we looked each other in the eyes. It was a moment. Nothing left to say. We had a moment. It was magic. No other way to describe it without me going into fantasy mode and rambling for hours on end.
"Thank you Blaine."
That was it. The way he said it, the way he was looking at me while he said it, oh how it made me love him more than I already did. It was strange, I know, but he was the most beautiful person I had ever seen in my life. I loved him. And here we were, he was standing there, feeling overwhelmed with emotion of my surprise, thanking me for organising it all. If only it were this easy all the time.
"Don't thank me, Kurt. Thank you."
Kurt look puzzled, tilting his head slightly to the side (which I must admit was so adorable). He replied, "Why me? I didn't organise all of this, it was you. I had no idea anyone could pull this off! But you did. You, Blaine, you."
We stared at each other. His beautiful eyes, I could have stared at them endlessly. We could have stayed standing there, for hours on end, just looking at each other. His face was flawless. His eyes were just amazing. Magical. He shook his head a little to snap back into reality, while he sat down and pulled me down with him.
We had a little picnic, it was cute really. We talked about our future, and Dalton, and Kurt told me everything about McKinley. By the time that there was silence for the first time since our arrival, it was dark, and the stars were brightly shining above us. I looked up, trying to work out constellations.
"The stars are gorgeous, don't you think? And it's super romantic, picnic under the stars. Thank you Blaine, for everything, for doing this, for allowing me to ramble on about my time at McKinley and not falling to sleep-"
"You miss McKinley, don't you?" I interrupted him, intrigued for his answer.
"A little, but I know I belong at Dalton. There's no Karofsky to bully me or no stupid Glee Club teacher to give all the solos to Rachel Berry. And it was her fault Jesse came to the New Directions and ditched us just as soon as we were comfortable with having him."
"Everyone in Dalton loves you. Especially-"
Kurt looked at me with eager eyes after I had said that. I couldn't continue with that sentence knowing that I would risk everything. He might hate me afterwards, or we might just end up being together, the only thing I could picture about us. I quickly changed the subject, diverting his attention from my eyes to the stars.
"Aren't they beautiful, Kurt?"
"Yes, yes they are, Blaine. But not as beautiful as you."
Oh. God.
"Blaine, I-I love, I love you."
We looked each other in the eyes, looked up to the stars, and looked back and before I knew it, our lips gently touched, our hands slowly entwining, our eyes never flickering away. "I love you too, Kurt Hummel. I love you, beautiful."
And just like that, it happened. We kissed. It seemed like hours on end, but I didn't care. The way his lips brushed against mine, the way his hand held my head, as if to keep me stable, or maybe to hold me closer, as if he wanted more. It was perfect. Our secrets were out, and once we stopped, we fell asleep in each others arms, the stars watching over us, as if they were proud.
