The rest of the sleepover went in a haze of Kurt thinking of Blaine, and trying not to show it. The girls had woken up, and they'd done facials and watched more movies until they were all to tired to even do that. The rest of the weekend went in much of the same manner, although, on sunday, he'd gotten a text.

I may or may not have stolen your number from Rachel's phone...I hope it's not as creepy as I think it is. -B

It's very creepy, actually.- K

Kurt smiled down at his phone as he sent the reply. Blaine had stolen his number? Of his own free will? That was odd. But Kurt was pleased nonetheless and continued in their banter for the remainder of the day. He learned a lot of things about Blaine, that he was the leader of his glee club, that he played guitar, piano, cello and violin, and kazoo. He made a mean hot pocket, which was all he could really make, and that the Lima Bean was his hangout of choice. Kurt shared his favorite music (and musicals) and his high school experiences, which weren't all that pleasant. He told Blaine about the bullies, and received his words of comfort, Kurt was beginning to think he couldn't' get any more perfect.

oOo

Kurt sat in Glee club, bored as usual, when his phone buzzed in his pocket. It was a simple text, but it instantly brightened his day.

Courage-B

He smiled at it and typed back a quick reply when he noticed someone looking over his shoulder.

"Rachel!" he whisper-yelled, quickly tucking his phone back into his pocket.

"Who was that?" she asked, leaning in closer and giving him a strange look. He thanked whatever higher power was up there that he had decided to only label Blaine as 'B' in his phone.

"Nobody." he said harshly and turned back around. Rachel didn't bother him for the rest of Glee, but that was short lived, because as soon as he opened his locker to tuck his books inside, he was flanked by Rachel and Mercedes.

"Who's the mystery guy?" Mercedes asked

"Yeah. Fess up." Rachel smirked. Kurt shook his head

"It's nothing you guys need to worry about, I'm texting your brother." Rachel blanched

"My brother?" she gasped "what? why? you don't even know each other!" Kurt rolled his eyes

"When you two fell asleep at your house, we got to talking, he's nice."

"And he's gay!" Rachel smiled "You two should go out!"

"Rachel!" Kurt hissed, his cheeks flaming "Do not say a word about this to your brother, we just started talking, you're going to scare him!"

"I will not." she insisted,

"You will." Mercedes smirked, and turned back to Kurt "hope all goes well. He's a cutie." she winked and continued on her way down the hallway.

"Kurt. How awesome would that be? You could be my brother in law!"

Kurt chuckled "We were talking about dating two seconds ago, and you've already jumped to marriage." he rolled his eyes and began to walk away, only to have her trail closely behind, chatting his ear off.

oOo

Kurt and Blaine became fast friends. They texted, called, and hung out when Kurt visited Rachel's house. But that wasn't even the tip of the iceberg, because when Rachel came into glee club, smiling like an idiot and announcing that Blaine would be joining McKinley (for reasons unknown) Kurt just wanted to get up and cheer. Blaine started at the school the next week, which Kurt would think was the best week of his life...until

"Hey, faggot." Karofsky shoved him into the locker as usual, Kurt's back hitting the corner and sending shockwaves of pain up his spine. And any other day, he probably would have let it go, but not today.

"What is your problem?" he growled, and was vaguely aware of Blaine watching them with a look of horror on his face from down the hall. Karofsky began to walk away, and Kurt followed him into the locker room.

"What is your problem with me?" he yelled "I haven't done anything to you, and you just think it's okay to shove me around and be downright cruel?"

"I don't like f-"

"That's not a fucking excuse!" Kurt screamed "I don't like chubby jocks, but I don't go around bullying you!"

"Why don't you go complain to your boyfriend," Karofsky said menacingly, Kurt's eyes widened

"He's not my boyfriend, and even if he was, why would that matter?" he asked, "what? are you jealous or-" but his next sentence was cut off as Karofsky lurched forward and attached his lips to Kurt's. It was disgusting. He was slobbery and messy and tasted kind of like doritos, and Kurt wanted to vomit. He was still trying to process how to get Karofsky off of him, when a different pair of hands did the job. Karofsky stumbled back, and Kurt saw a smaller, figure step between the two.

"What the fuck?" he yelled, and Kurt realized that the figure was Blaine.

"he-he kissed me!" Karofsky defended lamely, Blaine shook his head

"No, you kissed him! After you fucking tormented him, called him names and gave him bruises and scars, what makes you think you deserve to kiss him!" Karofsky started forward, but Blaine pushed him back again "No! Get the fuck out!"

To Kurt's surprise, the jock obeyed, and scurried out of the locker room. It was probably because he thought Blaine would rat him out, or maybe someone would walk in and overhear, but it didn't really matter, because he was gone, and Kurt could finally think again. He slid down the lockers and pulled his knees up to his chest.

"Kurt, are you okay?" Blaine asked, kneeling in front of him "I'm so sorry," He pulled Kurt into his arms at the sight of the boy's tears and rubbed his back, whispering comforting words into his ear.

"Blaine..." Kurt said softly into the fabric of Blaine's sweater "...I've never been kissed before."

Blaine pulled back slightly to look Kurt in the eyes "You mean...that...that was your first kiss?"

Kurt nodded miserably and buried his face in the crook of Blaine's neck once more

"Oh, god." Blaine whispered, sounding horrified "I-I'm so sorry, Kurt, I'm so sorry." Kurt just clung to him tighter and didn't let go.

oOo

Blaine let a week pass. No, he didn't think it was enough time, and he probably wouldn't have done it in any other circumstances, but he couldn't stand to see Kurt so sad all the time. They were sitting on Blaine's couch, doing some homework when he put his book down suddenly, and took a deep breath. Kurt turned to look at him, and Blaine didn't say a word as he leaned in, he passed though, about an inch from Kurt's lips, the bridges of their noses nearly touching.

"can I?" he asked, Kurt nodded only slightly, and Blaine closed the distance. He made sure to be slow, and gentle. He brought his hand up to cup Kurt's cheek and pulled away only moments later. Kurt stared at him in awe, and opened his mouth to say something when-

"OH MY GOD." Rachel burst in from the hallway "Blaine! oh my god! are you guys dating?"she asked enthusiacstically

Kurt blushed and looked down, Blaine smiled

"I would love to date you, Kurt, if that would be okay." he said softly, Kurt lifted his gaze and smiled

"I would like that." he said, shifting a bit closer to Blaine. Rachel put a hand over her heart and smiled widely, she'd never seen those boys happier.

I don't know what it is, but I didn't like how they made Blaine react to the Karofsky kiss. He was just kind of like "oh. let's get some lunch!" when in reality, I think Blaine would have flipped a shit over it. I was in a similar situation a few years ago, and I know all of my friends (mostly the guys) were furious. Because..that's sexual harassment. It's not just a kiss, sure it's not rape or anything, but it's still important.

I don't know. I just think Blaine should have reacted differently.
