(15) You Shouldn't Kiss Me Like This

Baby Kiss Me Again

"Wes... I-I... I'm in love with Kurt."

Wes gaped at Blaine. His mouth hung open in excited shock.

"Wes..?"

Wes ran to Blaine and picked him up in a hug and twirled him around.

"WOOHOOO! KLAINE IS ENDGAME BITCHES! STICK THAT IN YOUR JUICE BOX AND SUCK IT! HAHA! WOOOOO!"

"Wesley Roberts!" shouted Blaine. "Would you care to put me down!"

Wes was still smiling like a maniac. "I'm sorry, but it's just... Ohh! I'm so happy for you! Congratulations! So when did it finally happen? You ask him out?"

Blaine furrowed his eyebrows. "What the hell are you talking about?"

Wes looked at him with a look then he rolled his eyes. "How long have you been together?"

Blaine facepalmed and rubbed his temples. Lord, these Warblers would be the death of him. "I said I was IN LOVE with him, not that we were going out!"

Wes's face fell and he gave Blaine a look that said "Are you fucking kidding me?"

He closed the closet door on Blaine, walked to his bed, threw his face on the comforter and screamed. "MOTHER FUCKING POPSICLES!"

Blaine stood on the inside of the closet and listened to Wes's muffled cusses from the other side of the door (which involved various rants about hair gel, Katy Perry, and Klaine) for about five minutes straight. Wes finally came and opened the closet door.

"I'm sorry Blainers. I just had to get that out of my system. Now that that's over and done with..." he grabbed Blaine's face with both his hands and began shaking it. "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!"

Blaine stood there stunned. "Well, what was I supposed to do! I've never had feelings like these before and I was scared so I ran out of there..."

Wes facepalmed. "God you're such and idiot..."

"I could've told you that."

"WHAT are you going to do about this, Blaine!"

He stood there, stunned, dazed and confused. "I... I don't know! I mean, what am I supposed to do? We've kissed each other before and nothing happened, so- so where do we go from here?"

Wes paced back and forth in the room, the wheels in his mind beginning to turn. Ok, so they were in love with each other. They've kissed. Where have they kissed? Rachel's party. New Years. Breadstix... "THE BONDING!" shouted Wes. Blaine gave him a WTF look and he just shook his head in response. "Blainers, we're holding a bonding... I have a plan!"

Blaine rolled his eyes. "Wes! The Last time you had a plan, we ended up having to pick up after the Ketchup Incident of '09!"

When Nick walked in his dorm, he found his roommate Kurt facedown in his pillow, either dead, sleeping, or most likely, moping about a certain hazel eyed Warbler. He sighed. "What happened THIS time?"

Kurt pulled his face up from the pillow and looked at Nick. "I have no clue... We were here, about to practice, and then out of nowhere, he just left!" Kurt threw his hands outward.

Nick rolled his eyes. "Dear god, that boy will be the death of me..." He sat on the bed next to a moping Kurt. "Listen to me, Kurt. That boy is-"

Kurt got up from the bed. "You know what, Nick? I don't wanna hear it... I don't want you telling me that Blaine is too stupid to realize his feelings for me."

"But-"

"No! Has it ever crossed your mind, that maybe, just MAYBE, the reason he hasn't "realized" his feelings is because there are NONE to realize! Blaine doesn't love me... He said so, and I'm just so... Tired of waiting. I'm never going to have Blaine... Maybe I'll have luck finding the next best thing. I-I give up, Nick... I give up. I've tried and tried and... I just can't do it anymore. It hurts too much." The tears streaming down Kurt's face left wet trails across his cheeks.

Nick took one look at Kurt's face and realized that there was no convincing him otherwise. They sat there in an awkward silence before Nick's phone buzzed. He picked it up and opened a new message from Wes. "Hey, uh Kurt?"

"Yeah?"

"I just got a new message from Wes. There's a pre-Regionals bonding tonight. Be there by seven."

Kurt groaned and threw his head back. The last thing he wanted was to spend the night with the crazy bunch that kept trying to push him and Blaine together.

A few minutes after Wes sent the text, Blaine was pacing back and forth across the room.

"Where is he?" he asked. "He's ALWAYS the first one here with Nick and Jeff! Oh, dear god! I hope he's ok! What if he got I'm an accident! What if he got jumped! What if he's on a date!"

Wes rolled his eyes. "Blaine, Kurt's not on a date. Calm down. If he was, he would've told you or Nick, who would've told you."

From the other side of the door, Nick and Kurt approached the door to Wes and Blaine's room. "Do we HAVE to?" asked Kurt. "I'm REALLY not in the mood for this..."

Nick rolled his eyes. "Yes, Wes said it was mandatory, and you'll have a lot of fun!"

"Sure I will..." He opened the door and walked in.

Blaine's face lit up the second it recognized Kurt. "KURT!" He ran over to him and wrapped him in a hug. "I missed you..." he whispered.

Kurt blushed as chills ran down his spine and he wriggled out of Blaine's grasp. He really hated the control Blaine had over his heart. But he silently swore that would end tonight. "Uh, heh- um... Yeah. I missed you too."

Kurt couldn't make out the weird expression on Blaine's face, but it looked vaguely familiar. Like he'd seen it before, but now it was just... Amplified.

"So, uh... Maybe we should take a seat..?" Blaine said, unsure of himself.

Kurt narrowed his eyes. This was very unlike Blaine. "Sure..." he took a seat at the footrest at the foot of Blaine's bed and Blaine sat next to him.

Nick looked at Klaine, then at Wes. He raised an eyebrow and Wes motioned for Nick to follow him into the kitchen. "Wes..?" said Nick. "Who is that out there and what have you done with Blaine."

"Nick. I have some very important amazing news and I'll tell you, but you have to promise not to shit yourself!"

"No promises..."

"Ok..." Wes took Nick into a small secluded corner and whispered. "Blaine FINALLY realized that he's in love with Kurt!"

Nick's eyes went wide and he brought his hand up to his mouth. "Are you- what, what- But... YES!" He threw his hands up in fists in the air in victory.

Wes pulled him down. "Shut up! Kurt doesn't know yet and I gave Blaine a plan!"

"What! Wesley Roberts! You better not fucking screw this up for Klaine!"

Wes rolled his eyes. "Don't worry! This plan is Blaine-proof..."

Back in the room, Klaine was sitting down, attempting to make small talk.

"So..." started Blaine. "We uh, haven't really spoken since Rachel's party..."

Kurt's eyes went wide. "Oh! Uh... Well, I'm sorry I had to leave early. My dad was calling me home." Kurt was sure that Blaine didn't remember the kiss. He'd been way too wasted.

Blaine furrowed his eyebrows. Did Kurt even remember what happened that night? Blaine was so drunk that he couldn't remember if Kurt had stayed sober or not. "So... I was PRETTY wasted, huh?"

Kurt blinked back tears. Maybe Blaine DID remember the kiss and was trying to justify it by pointing out how drunk he was. Either way, Kurt felt like crap that that was the only reason he'd been kissed. But he'd rather nit talk about it. "Yep... You kissed Brittany during our game of spin the bottle."

"Is that all that happened?" questioned Blaine. Maybe Kurt HAD drank and didn't remember either. The only reason Blaine knew was because Wes had told him.

Kurt got up and headed towards the kitchen as he answered. "Yep! Nothing else important happened that night..."

Blaine sat there alone, and groaned as he buried his face in his hands. How had he managed to screw this up so bad?

Finally, the rest of the Warblers had showed up. And due to much prying by Nick and Wes, they had all decided to ("decided", "been forced", same difference) to play truth or dare.

They were all seated in a circle on the floor. Nick sat near Jeff, and Kurt sat across from Blaine.

It was off to an innocent start, but knowing the Warblers, that wouldn't last long. So far, Jeff dared Nick to kiss him (of course), Trent dared Wes to lick the bottom of his shoe, and Blaine had dared David to hold a handstand against the wall for a minute.

It was Kurt's turn. "Ok..." his face grew a thoughtful expression as he pondered who and what he'd dare. "Thad!" he called. "I dare you... To moon the window!"

Everyone looked pretty shocked that this time around it was KURT that had changed the pace for the game. Thad threw his head back and groaned as he got up and headed towards the window. He grumbled as he unbuckled his belt, revealing Eeyore from Winnie The Pooh boxer shorts. Kurt brought his hand to his mouth to stifle a laugh. Blaine smiled dreamily as he saw how cute Kurt looked when he was laughing. Wes, who was sat right next to Blaine, looked at him and said "Really, dude? Really?"

When Thad was finished making a complete idiot of himself, he sat back down. "MY turn!" he shouted. "Blaine!" Blaine's head shot up immediately. "I dare you to kiss Kurt!"

Blaine smiled. Thad may have been trying to humiliate him, but he didn't know that was exactly what Blaine wanted. Blaine looked at Kurt and leaned in.

He closed his eyes and just before he could close the gap, Kurt pulled away and said "No..."

Everyones face fell and the room grew silent immediately.

"What?" asked Nick.

"I said no... I don't want to kiss Blaine."

Blaine swallowed... He was wrong. Kurt didn't love him back. But maybe he could change that. "Come on Kurt." he started. "It's just a kiss."

"THAT'S JUST IT, BLAINE!" Kurt snapped. Everyone stared in shock. Since when dis Kurt turn down a kiss from Blaine? Since when did Kurt snap at people? "To you, it's JUST a kiss... To me... It's not." His eyes were beginning to water. "EVERY time we've kissed, whether you remembered it or not, I feel something. No. I feel MORE than something. MUCH more. I feel all those cheesy things like fireworks and sparks. I feel the earth move. God, Blaine! I feel love! Love for you! And then we pull away and you act as if NOTHING happened. We go on as if I don't love you. As if I don't feel anything for you other than friendship... How do you think that makes me feel? To know that the boy I'm in love with sees me as nothing more than a friend? I-I'm sorry, Blaine... But I... I just can't do it anymore."

Kurt walked out of the room, leaving Blaine there with his mouth hanging in shock and his heart beating fast. Kurt Hummel just said that he loved him. And now he was letting him walk away? No way, he wasn't letting that happen.

Kurt had left Blaine's room in tears. He'd just given up any chance of love (if there even WAS any) he had with Blaine. He ran to the choir room, sat down on the couch, and buried his face in his hands. He was interrupted by a familiar voice that belonged to a certain dreamy, hazel eyes Warbler.

"Kurt-? Can we talk?"

"There's nothing to talk about, Blaine. I made an idiot out of myself."

"No, you didn't."

"Yes, I did!" Kurt got up from his seat and looked at Blaine. "I'm so stupid! I really don't think I've EVER made that big of an idiot of myself. And I dated Brittany!"

"Kurt-"

"I'm so sorry Blaine! I want to stay your friend I really do-"

"Kurt-"

"But it's just SO painful to be around you and... Oh god!" he threw his head back. "We still have the Regionals duet to practice, I just don't think my heart can survive having to sing a break up song with you and I'm sorry if I'm rambling it's just that I-"

Kurt was suddenly silenced by a pair of lips on his. Those same cheesy feelings of fireworks came back to Kurt. And Blaine was feeling them too. He'd always felt them, but this time, he put up no walls. He let all the emotion come flooding in.

Kurt pulled away and shook his head. "Blaine..." he whimpered. "Please, I don't want your pity kiss-"

Once again, Blaine's lips silenced his own. He pulled away and looked into Kurt's glasz eyes. "This isn't a pity kiss." he kissed him again. "This is a kiss you give someone that you've been in love with from the second he stopped you on the stairway but you've been too stupid to notice."

Kurt stared at Blaine. What the hell was going on? Since when did Blaine love him? Just-what! His mind was reeling crazily.

"Kurt... Um... You've been quiet for a few minutes now... Please say something... Like, anything would be great."

Kurt suddenly seemed to realize what was happening and he pulled Blaine close and whispered in his ear.

"Kiss me again."

And they did...

Over, and over, and over again.

A/N: Ok, I have several options here. This was originally supposed to be the final chapter, but I have three options.

A) Continue the story, but I can't promise frequent updates because I have to think of how to continue the plot (I have a few ideas) and it might go on possible hiatus.

B) One more chapter, an epilogue.

C) End it here.

Let me know what you guys think/hope/want!
