"Come on, babe, the night's not over yet," Noah said now as he once again led Kurt to the bank of elevators. This time, when he pressed a button, it didn't have a number but the letter 'R'. Kurt raised an eyebrow enquiringly but Noah simply smiled and shook his head, "just wait."

In less than thirty seconds the lift slid to a halt and the doors retracted, the men recoiling slightly at the wave of music that met them. They stepped out onto what was clearly a roof garden turned into a nightclub and Kurt couldn't help the surprised burst of laughter that escaped him. The place was surreal with its towering pillars wrapped in faux ivy and overhead lattices strung with baby gel spotlights firing purple, green and bright white lights everywhere.

"Wow, oh, Noah, this is fantastic!" Kurt's shoulders and hips were already moving to the thumping music and he turned to his lover, his lips in a wide smile. "I love this!"

Noah laughed aloud now, turning to the bouncer at the door and handing over his credit card. The man swiped it, nodded at Noah with a smile and handed him two slender cards. Noah then ushered his shimmying lover forward into the heaving crowd, making sure to keep a hand on his hip. He could hear Kurt's laughter even over the music and he knew bringing him up here had been the right move.

The clientele of the club was a mix with quite a few seeming to be in their early to mid-20s mingling comfortably with thirty/forty-year-olds. Everyone was dressed in the height of fashion and Kurt felt as if he had been transported to a trendy club in the Big Apple. The deejay was smoking and kept the crowd moving with the very latest of club mixes and hot top 40 singles.

He leaned forward so that his mouth was next to Noah's ear and yelled, "This is great!" grinning when Noah tried to snatch a quick kiss. He laughed at him, turned his back and bumped his ass against Noah's groin. No one in that crowd was going to even care that there were two men bumping and grinding on each other and for the next hour or so, they totally lost themselves in each other and the heavy beat of the music.

Kurt finally yelled to Noah that he needed a drink and they moved through the crowd, grinning their apologies as they bumped into the revelers and eventually ended up at the open-air bar. Even the drinks seemed to reflect the neon aesthetic of the club's lighting and Kurt laughed delightedly as the cute young bartended flirted with them while fixing their drinks.

What was unusual for a rooftop club but made perfect sense was that, over to one side, a huge barbecue area had been set up and the delicious smell of grilling meat enticed the partiers to take a break and get some food.

Kurt and Noah took their drinks over to the huge pit area and, after having selected several kebabs for themselves, found a table at which several other couples were sitting. The ambience was a fantastic mix of club and house party and Kurt grinned around the hot succulent meat as he nodded to his companions.

They couldn't introduce themselves as the music was still hellishly loud but they all nodded cordially, several of the women eyeing Noah quite voraciously. Kurt smirked and looked satisfied with himself, his eyes locking with one woman who just didn't seem to get the hint. He turned away from her when Noah leaned over and suddenly swooped in for a kiss.

Kurt giggled into the kiss, licking his lips as he leaned back and smiling hungrily into Noah's heated eyes. They didn't speak but anyone could see that, had it not been for the other table's occupants, they would probably have had their hands all over each other just then. Kurt eased back and flicked his eyes at their voyeur before taking another bite of his cooling meat.

They finished eating but sat out a couple of the songs and then Noah tugged Kurt to his feet, sliding his hand to Kurt's ass as they moved back into the crowd. Kurt eyed him from beneath his lashes and bumped his shoulder with Noah's. He knew then that Noah was going to be a pretty possessive lover and he felt a little curl of heat take up residence in his stomach.

From then on they danced with their hands somewhere on the other's body and by the time they were finally ready to call it a night, they had graduated to nuzzling and kissing each other. They eased through the crowd once more, nodded at the bouncer and headed inside to the elevators, Kurt's head finding a comfortable spot on Noah's shoulder as they waited for the lift to arrive.

"Mmmm, this was wonderful, Noah, thank you…" his voice was husky, maybe a little tired and Noah dropped a little kiss on the slightly damp forehead.

"I'm glad you enjoyed it… it was a pretty good night." He slid his hand to the small of Kurt's back when the elevator doors opened and they went inside, being joined at the last minute by another departing couple. They all stood in silence as they zipped down to the ground floor and Kurt grabbed his hand as they exited the lift. He was feeling really mellow from all the good food and the dancing – he loved going dancing – and now he was looking forward to falling into bed with the hot, handsome guy at his side.

When the parking valet brought the car around, glittering with a light coating of moisture, Kurt shivered, just then realizing how much cooler it had become. Noah got him situated quickly and then hopped in to turn on the heater. As they waited for the car to warm up, Kurt turned to him, his eyes deep and slumberous – and then they were kissing, a slow, deep kiss that was a foretaste of things to come.

Finally Noah eased back, his eyes glued to Kurt's wet, pink lips and then he put the car in gear and moved off. Kurt hummed to himself, his lips curved in a satisfied smile and stared at Noah's face illuminated by the car's sophisticated dashboard. He knew that both their minds were on what would happen later and he felt himself harden a bit in anticipation.

He leaned forward and punched the player button before settling back to enjoy the ride back to Lima and then slid his hand over to rest on Noah's muscled thigh. He felt it twitch but Noah said nothing; he just threw a glance over at Kurt and chuckled softly. Kurt sighed and let his head loll back against the seat, staring out at the sporadically illuminated landscape as they flew down the highway. He may have drifted off because it seemed that in no time they'd reached the exit for their hometown.

Stretching and yawning like a little cat, he glanced over at Noah who looked at him briefly before concentrating once more on the road. It could have seemed odd that they hadn't said anything to each other since leaving the club but the silence was comfortable, not strained at all. As Kurt thought that, he suddenly felt himself tense as he realised how close they were now to his home. He hadn't actually invited Noah to stay over again but he felt that the invitation was a tacit one, given the escalation in their relationship.

At last, Noah turned into Kurt's driveway and Kurt turned to him, his teeth sunk into his bottom lip. He eyed Noah from beneath his dark lashes and then smiled. Maybe he really ought to issue an official invitation, he mused, and took a deep breath.

Noah smiled softly at Kurt's seductive face and waited, the engine still running. He knew Kurt was gearing up to say something so he simply waited.

"So… stay with me tonight?" Kurt's voice was low, as caressing as the hand he laid on Noah's arm and he widened his eyes at him as if there had ever been any doubt as to the outcome of this night.

Noah chuckled and leaned forward to snatch a little kiss. "I had every intention," he murmured against the soft lips and kissed him harder. Kurt giggled into the kiss and then eased back, turning to open the door.

"Well, come on then!" He slid from the seat and shut the door, his eyes gleaming like a cat's in the dark. Noah shook his head, reached onto the back seat for the bag that he'd packed and then locked up the car. He followed Kurt up onto the steps and placed a hand on his ass as he waited for him to open the door.

Kurt's light protest at his action was so insincere Noah ignored it, squeezing the cheek that was warming his hand. Kurt opened the door and held it for him, closing and locking it before putting on the alarm. Noah turned to gaze at him, taking in his glowing face and then dropped his bag.

They moved into each other's arms without a word, just holding each other before Noah initiated the kiss. Kurt slid his arms up around his neck and sighed as they pulled back. Running his hands down Noah's muscular arms and reveling in their feel, he grasped one hand and led them downstairs, Noah only hanging back a second to grab his bag again.

Somehow, as Kurt registered the bag in Noah's hand, a little fillip of nerves unsettled the curl of heat in his stomach. He glanced at the duffel bag in which he supposed Noah had only those things necessary for a sleepover. What he hadn't expected was to want, deep down, for Noah to have some things that he could leave there. For some reason he felt it would seem more permanent if he could look up and see some of his stuff hanging with his own things… or his toothbrush standing beside his in the holder on the bathroom counter.

'Moving too fast, Hummel, too fast,' a voice muttered in his head and he shook it to make it go away.

He bit his lip and smiled, unconsciously intriguing Noah with the shyness of it and started to unhook his jacket. Noah had dropped the bag onto the leather couch and then just stood there, watching Kurt. They still didn't speak but when Kurt shrugged out of the jacket and turned to hang it up in his walk-in closet, Noah finally moved.

"Kurt," his whisper tickled the hair on the back of Kurt's neck and he shivered, turning just his head to look back at his lover before turning fully. His mouth was taken again and Kurt moaned as Noah's tongue slid against his. The kiss grew hotter, wetter and Kurt made a sound in the back of his throat that made Noah's pants tighten.

He growled and dropped his lips to Kurt's neck, nipping the warm, smooth flesh as his hands tightened on Kurt's hips. He knew he should let them undress but he felt as if he were starving for Kurt, as if his body was parched from being even a foot away from the other man.

Kurt shivered as the cool air in the basement touched the damp areas on his neck left by Noah's nibbling. He pressed a hand against the larger man and stared into the dark eyes.

"Let's get out of all these clothes, babe, I want to feel you…" He bit his lower lip as he stared into Noah's eyes and then gazed at his full lips. Now that they were together, he wanted more than the hungry, almost ferocious sex they'd indulged in the night before. He wanted to take his time making love to Noah, to glut himself on him, to feast until he was stupid-drunk with it.

He stepped away with a little smile, his eyes lingering on Noah's mouth and turned back to the closet. He stepped inside and, as he was there, decided to undress fully, hanging up his clothes and taking the time to tamp down a bit on his ardour. He stepped back into the room, his eyes going to the bed and gaped as he watched Noah walk towards it.

Noah had removed every stitch of clothing and Kurt glanced over at the couch to see them spread out there, not quite haphazardly but nowhere as neatly as Kurt would have done. He turned back to stare at the beauty of muscles moving fluidly beneath pale caramel skin as Noah approached the bed and climbed up on it, his buttocks flexing as he did. Kurt took a deep breath and shook himself before moving towards him.

As he approached the bed, Noah reclined against the pillows, his eyes dark and sleepy-looking but for the hunger gleaming at Kurt from between dark lashes. Kurt stood by the bed, watching as a tanned hand came down to grasp the dark-flushed cock lying almost flat against Noah's washboard abs and Kurt swallowed hard.

Noah raised one eyebrow as if asking, "What are you waiting for?" and Kurt shook himself out of his daze again to smile softly at him.

"So beautiful," he breathed as he knelt on the bed and then moved to straddle him, Noah's hands coming up to grasp his hips. For a second they held that position and then, on the next breath Kurt was wrapped in those big arms, his body coming down fully on top of Noah's.

Their mouths met and melded, heat and moisture welding them into a writhing, moaning, hungry creature of multiple arms and legs and sundry other appendages. Kurt couldn't get enough of Noah, groaning as his cock reveled in the friction their bodies caused. Noah's hands slid to Kurt's ass and squeezed and stroked, his eyes closing so as to focus more on his other senses.

As Noah squeezed Kurt to him, the pre-come making their bodies slip easier against each other, Kurt tore his mouth away to stare, gasping, into Noah's eyes. He'd been half hard the whole drive home and he knew it wouldn't be long before he slid into his first orgasm of the night.

"Noah, baby," he panted but Noah simply nodded in understanding. He too was close and the weight of Kurt, the friction of their cocks rubbing and sliding past each other was wearing on him too. He surged up and over, holding Kurt close as he rolled him beneath his larger body and plunged his tongue between his parted lips.

He bucked and drove down into the writhing, lithe body, his tongue mimicking the movements of his hips and he swallowed Kurt's high-pitched moan as he started to come apart. He pulled his mouth away and stared at the face as beautiful as any fallen angel's and his hips stuttered as he felt his own orgasm burn in his lower back.

"Kurt, unh, Kurt…" he panted, although he was sure as Kurt jerked and clutched at him and hot fluid spread slickly between them, Kurt was too far gone to hear him. He slid his hands beneath Kurt's shoulders and jerked him towards him even as his hips plunged once and again and then he was coming…

Strong arms came up around his neck, clutching as Kurt plastered tiny, breathless kisses against Noah's neck as the larger man shuddered through his orgasm. Kurt's hips lifted in reflex to Noah's movements although he was thoroughly spent after his own climax and he breathed a huffy little laugh. Dropping his head back, he let his hands smooth along Noah's muscular shoulders and down his back, enjoying the ripple of muscles beneath the sweaty skin.

Noah finally collapsed beside Kurt, one arm swiping at some of their mingled fluids and he grinned as Kurt grimaced. "Wow, that was intense," he breathed, smirking at Kurt who narrowed his eyes at his actions. "Short… but intense."

Kurt couldn't help the sated little smile that hovered over his own lips but as he felt his eyelids begin to droop, he jerked himself upright, slapping at Noah's hip as he did so.

"Come on, big guy, there's no way we're sleeping like this," and he launched himself out of the bed and towards a much-needed shower.

It was Noah's turn to take in the magnificence of Kurt's form as his lover stalked away, oblivious to Noah's admiring stare. Kurt was almost as tall as he but nowhere as big but he was beautifully formed, Noah mused happily. The way his slender muscles moved beneath the creamy skin, the roll of his hips and the shifting of his buttocks as he walked; it all spelled prize, trophy to Noah and as he leapt from the bed to follow him he knew this was a prize he was definitely keeping an eye on, he smirked to himself.

As he stepped into the en suite and noticed his lover was already reveling in the flow of hot water, he heard Kurt call out: "So, Noah, what are you going to tell Finn about us?"

"Finn?!" Puck's cock, that had started twitching at the sight of Kurt's retreating backside, immediately deflated. "What the_?"

He followed his chuckling lover into tub, his brow furrowed in confusion and watched Kurt fiddle some more with the temperature of the water. Kurt made room for Noah behind him under the flow of water, and held his face up to the soothing stream again.

"Yes, my brother, Finn! I had to tear him another one about that whole 'making straight guys uncomfortable' thing he's still hung up on. Uhh!"

Noah absently moved Kurt to the side so that he could get under the shower and the two men soaped themselves and each other as they chatted, Noah wanting to punch Finn and Kurt more inclined to kick the insensitive clod.

When they'd dried off and made it back to the bed, they snuggled together a bit before Noah got serious. "Yeah, well, I don't know if I want to tell Finn anything, y'know, babe."

Kurt stretched his head back to look at his lover who was spooning him. "Huh? What, you want to keep this a secret from my family?"

Noah realized he was seconds away from completely pissing Kurt off and he hurried to reassure him. "N-no, babe! That's not what I meant at all!"

Kurt hmphed and settled back down. "Then what exactly do you mean, Noah? What are we doing here?"

Noah stared up at the ceiling; he wanted Kurt to actually tell him how he felt before they made their – thing – public. "Well, what would you tell Finn that we are? Boyfriends?"

Kurt stilled and then rolled fully onto his back, turning his head to stare at Noah. He realized that, although he knew that Noah loved him, he himself hadn't clarified his feelings at all. His eyes softened as he stared at the other man's profile.

He cleared his throat softly and then turned his head to stare up at the ceiling as well. As he began to speak, he reached his hand down to grasp Noah's.

"Well, if anyone asked – 'anyone' meaning Finn, of course – I guess I'd say we were… boyfriends?"

Noah tightened his grip on Kurt's hand but didn't turn to look at him. "Yeah? Boyfriends, huh?"

Kurt nodded. "Yeah, boyfriends. Actually, y'know, no."

"What?! No? Kurt_ what the…!" Noah sat up and stared down at Kurt's impassive face, his smoky grey eyes wide.

Kurt turned his head, a little twinkle making itself apparent in his blue, blue eyes. He smile was luminescent as he said, "No, actually; I prefer 'lovers'."

Noah gaped at him for seconds before realizing that Kurt was teasing him. When it sank in, he pounced on Kurt and tickled him, making the smaller man squirm and giggle before breaking into loud belly laughs.

"Noah, Noah, oh my god! Stop, I'm going to pee myself. Ah-hah!" Kurt laughed and then sighed as Noah rolled back to his side of the bed, although he kept one hand on Kurt's heaving stomach.

They settled down again with Kurt snuggling into Noah's warmth, Noah's head resting on Kurt's thick hair.

"I started to say it earlier but it's better here: I think I'm falling for you, Noah…" Kurt's whisper barely reached him and Noah closed his eyes tightly against a flood of emotion.

"Yeah, you 'think'…? When are you going to know for sure?" Noah's voice was soft and uncertain and Kurt turned his face up to his.

He lifted a hand to caress the handsome face, marveling again at the color of Noah's skin in contrast to his and he smiled at him. "Soon, baby, real soon."

Their lips met in a kiss devoid of lust but full of feeling. Noah sighed into it, his heart full and unable to stop himself wishing that soon would be like right now. He loved Kurt with everything that made him Noah Puckerman and he would shrivel and die if Kurt never got to the same page.

Eventually they pulled apart, Kurt's shining eyes staring into his, his warm breath tickling Noah's lips and they smiled. Noah's eyes fell to the soft pink lips, puffy from their earlier activities and his heart calmed as Kurt whispered, "Soon."
