(BPOV)
Who the hell was knocking at the door? Kurt wasn't supposed to be here for another hour or two, and it was only 4 so I grumbled and went over to the door to see who it was and I wasn't expecting to see Terri and Jake standing there with a bottle of wine in hand when I opened it.
"Jay...Ter,,,hi what are you doing here?" I didn't want to be rude to my friends but I honestly had no idea that they were coming over.
"Blaine honey please...we know that you're meeting that delicious man of yours tonight. I promise we won't interfere but Ter and I couldn't not come over a little early to check him out." Jay giggled a little as I rolled my eyes in unison with Terri as I ushered them in, obviously this was more Jay's idea than anything.
Jay and Ter had been together since freshman year in high school, so almost 8 years now, and they were officially the most happy if not sickeningly cute couple Jess and I knew. Jay worked at the coffee shop one or two days a week with us but he really didn't have to. He was what you called a kept man as much as he didn't want to admit it. Terri was a very successful trader on Wall St and he had some international business dealings in the UK and in Japan so the guy made a tiny fortune and spoiled his boyfriend rotten.
Terri was the most non-stereotypical gay you could ever imagine; he loved all sports and everything outdoorsy. Even though he didn't have any clue about fashion he always did have fabulous suits tailored to his tall very muscular frame. He was maybe 6'4", 220, with blonde hair, pale green eyes which were always hidden under tasteful black rimmed glasses, and a slightly olive complexion which gave him a beautiful if not startling appearance. Needless to say he was handsome but quite shy around new people. Jay on the other hand was not the complete opposite but close. He was fairly loud, but in a good way, and was kind of an attention whore which suited Terri just fine. Jay was about Kurt's height with something of the same build as him too. He was half Japanese and half Scottish so he called himself a genetic miracle because it was a miracle he didn't come out looking like an Asian version of Carrot Top. He had very soft features with long chestnut hair that always had a red undertone to it and a slight wave but it was almost always pulled back in a knot. He wore glasses too but hated wearing them except for Terri saying that he looked like an old maid in them. We loved Jay and all his craziness and him and Jess were best friends and she was also his yoga instructor.
So as I understood it Jess, Kurt and I were going to have dinner in and then she was going to meet the boys later on for a nightcap or something but apparently I was misinformed.
"So you guys are here for dinner then?"
"Of course they are B!" Jess walked out of her bedroom a second earlier looking stunning as always but she was hiding a very evil little smirk beneath that fixated grin, "I told them we were having dinner at home and that you were bringing Kurt so I invited them too. Oh come on Blaine wipe that pout off your face, " I hadn't realized I was pouting until she mentioned it, " you are going to get plenty of alone time with him this weekend so cheer up. I'm excited to get to know him and these two, well mostly Jay cuz he's nuts, have been itching to meet him. Come on Blaine...pleeeease."
Jay chimed in, "Ya Blainey...pleeeeasse..." God it was good thing I loved that man like a brother because I hated that stupid nickname.
"Sorry about this Blaine. You know my boy is hard to say no to. And when you team him with Jess it rivals a force of nature." I chuckled at Ter's comparison and he laughed with me as they gave their jackets to Jess and seated themselves on the sofa. I seated myself on the love seat and just listened to the the excited ramblings between Jay and Jess, Terri and I kept exchanging knowing glances as we watched them chatter away.
"Um B...should you be showering and getting dressed? Kurt should be here in like 30 minutes or so right?"Jess had stopped talking to the boys long enough to remind me.
"Shit! Ok sorry guys I'll be back in a few." I bolted out of the room and ran to the bedroom but not before hearing Jay whispering, "he's got it bad huh?". The banter that followed was probably embarrassing so I was glad I didn't hear it as I closed the door to my bedroom and pulled my phone out.
Hi babe, ok look our evening plans have changed a little. Jess invited our friends Terri and Jake over for dinner too. Hope you don't mind. They'll love you :) xo -B
I thought about it again and then sent another message.
And you'll love them. Oh and don't forget to bring something dressy for tomorrow night. See you sooner rather than later I hope. Love always xo- B.
I put the phone down and grabbed my clean boxers and a towel and went for my shower. After I finished up in there I came out trying to towel dry my mop and figure out what would be appropriate to wear for a casual dinner party of sots.
Remembering I had messaged Kurt I glanced at my phone as I pulled out my khakis and saw that Kurt had left me a very detailed message. Always the perfectionist even when texting Kurt
Hey. I would love to meet your friends babe and if they're joining us that's great but I hope that they don't have too high expectations from me; I'm just me ya know. But I will be dressed to impress for sure...I always am in case you never noticed ;) and I of course remembered to pack something dressy for tomorrow night but I'm still not sure where you're taking me Blaine, you know I don't do surprises well. Anyway I should be there soon, weekend bag in hand. Rach and Merc say hi and I can't wait to spend the weekend with you. Xxoo - PS I left more hugs and kisses. Ha! - K
He was so cute sometimes but then I remembered something I promised myself that I would do before Kurt came over that weekend; I had to call Finn.
I grabbed my new white Egyptian cotton button up and put my arms through it as I dialled Finn's cell number that I had gotten off Burt this week and waited hopefully to hear the big man's voice.
After 4 rings there was a click.
"Uh hello?"
"Hey Finn...it's me..um Blaine...you got a minute?" He sighed obviously not too thrilled that I was calling him.
"Dude how'd you get this number? And why are you calling me is something wrong with Kurt?" His voice had raised ever so slightly but the concern was genuine.
"No, no, no nothings wrong with Kurt Finn I just...wanted to talk to you for minute if you've got time." There was a pause that seemed to last for quite a few moments as I waited very nervously for him to say something, anything.
"Um, ok man...what can I do for you?" It was tentative but controlled. Like he was trying to will himself to not yell at me. So I took a deep breath and confronted my fears.
"Thank you Finn."
"What?" He seemed honestly surprised at the statement.
"Thank you for being there for Kurt when I wasn't. Thank you for being his brother. Just...thanks."
"Ummmmm...ok? You're welcome?"
"Finn I'm sorry...I just.."
"No Blaine wait. J-just hold on a sec ok man, " he let out an exasperated breath, "look dude I gotta say some things hear and you're gonna listen ok?" I think my eyes bugged out after hearing such an authoritative tone from Kurt's brother.
"Blaine, I'm not normally a guy who gets angry quickly but right now you are not my favourite person...despite you apologizing n stuff and talkin it over with Burt. Kurt's my brother dude...I would do anything for him and I still couldn't stop you or anyone else from hurting him...and that killed me. I watched Kurt like literally fall apart since you took off on him...a-and it only got worse." I went to say something but I held my tongue because I didn't want to make him even angrier. "I love my brother, even though he's a little over the top sometimes... I love him and I've made it my goal to make sure no one, especially you, hurts him again...I-I'm not sure if he could handle it. O-ok I'm done now."
"Finn...I am truly sorry that I caused Kurt any pain and if it makes it easier at all, I promise that I will spend a lifetime trying to make it up to him. I missed him so much Finn and it was the b-biggest mistake of my life letting him go."
"Blaine..man..I"
"No Finn...its my turn. I need you to understand. I l-love Kurt. I really do and I want nothing more than to spend every minute worshipping him for all that he is. He's smart, beautiful in every way and his wit still astounds me every day. I'm so lucky to know him Finn and without you...h-he well I-I may have never gotten this chance to love him. So when I say thank you...I mean it...I owe you to have Kurt in my life when I probably don't deserve it."
I was crying now and I didn't know that I had gotten so emotional over what I had been saying. I let out a very shaky breath, "Finn, please say something." A few seconds dragged by before he broke the silence.
"Ok Blaine."
"Huh?"
"I said ok. No dude would get that emotional over the phone without good reason. And you called me so you wanted me to know this. I may not be like the smartest guy but at least I can tell you're being honest with me...I don't forgive you but I can try...for Kurt."
I smiled over the phone even as some more tears escaped my eyes, "Thank you Finn. I will take care of him...I promise."
"You better bro. He deserves to be happy for once and its been hard for me here, not knowing how he really is, cuz he's so good at hiding how much he hurts. I just want him to be like super happy with life ya know?"
"Yeah...I know. I want that for him too. And Finn?"
"Uh yeah?"
"I will call you if he needs you. I will keep you posted when Kurt is too proud to say anything ok?"
If I could have heard Finn smile on the other end I think it would have been then.
"Thanks man, that's cool of you. So...Kurt's staying the weekend with you right?" Oh shit.
"Uh yeah?"
"That's cool n' all but if you force him or hurt him or anything..."
"I know I know...Burt's shotgun." Finn actually laughed at my comment but stopped quickly again before coming back with a retort that still leaves me shuddering to this day.
"Ha ha so Burt's threatened you too huh? Well I was thinking more of the OSU football team I have here paying you a visit." I gulped. Ok so I'm never underestimating big brother Finn again.
"Understood."
"Look Blaine...thanks for callin me and letting me hear it from you instead of Kurt. I'm glad you've straightened out your shit. Call me if you need anything, I gotta call Rach anyway before she thinks I'm cheating on her or something. It's been like a day since we talked but you know what she's like."
"Yeah I remember Finn..thanks again..for everything."
"Sure dude. Anything for Kurt. Treat him right ok? Hopefully we'll see your with the family soon ok?"
"Ok bye Finn."
"Later." And that was it. Finn hung up and I felt emotionally drained. He said he wanted me around the family again? That went better than I thought.
After I re-swallowed my heart again I glanced at the time and realized that I had been in here for a bit and that Kurt should be here at any moment. I buttoned up my shirt, pulled on my pants and ran back to the bathroom to run some silk treatment through my hair that Kurt had bought me but I left it product free, just like Kurt liked it and made sure my face was tear stain free. After double checking my appearance and putting on some socks and some cologne I made my way into the living room still clutching my phone as I heard laughter from my friends flowing down the hall.
I peered in and saw something that made my heart soar. Jay was standing in front of the couch obviously regaling the group in some sort of story and naturally he was over embellishing as per usual. One of the reasons we loved him...his storytelling, but what I saw on the couch made my jaw drop. Jess and Terri were sitting on either end of the couch and sandwiched in between was Kurt. He was just smiling and laughing along with the others and I leaned against the hallway door frame and just watched the pleasant sight before me. My boyfriend and my friends were together and it wasn't awkward...on the contrary it looked natural and I swelled with pride. This was my extended family.
There was a break in the story and Jess nudged Kurt and shook her neck in my direction obviously noticing my presence.
Kurt turned still with a full smile on his face to look at me and I swear I swooned a little. He looked breathtaking and there was a glow about him that made me slightly incapable of moving at that moment.
Kurt got up and sauntered over in my direction, his eyes not leaving mine.
"Hello handsome." He wrapped his arms around my waist and I reciprocated the gesture instinctively as I rested my hands on the small of his back. He was wearing some impossibly tight black skinny jeans, a black fitted long sleeved shirt and a white vest that had large buckles on the front. Yeah he looked delectable as always.
"Hello beautiful." Indulgence took over as I claimed his lips forgetting that we had an audience. He melted into the kiss with me for a moment before the whistling and awing behind us broke us apart.
We pulled away from one another sheepishly as we both took in the expressions on my guests' faces.
"Sorry guys...got carried away." I said
The group giggled at us. "S'ok Blainey...we don't mind the show." The death glare I sent Jay would have scared small children but Kurt squeezed my hand reassuringly.
"Its fine hun. I like your friends. They've been very...entertaining since I got here." I cocked my eyebrow at him trying to hide my nervousness about that last comment.
"Oh? How long have you been here?"
"Oh...a while...Jess let me in about 20 minutes ago when you were in the shower. Jay's been telling 'Blainey-boo' stories." Kurt laughed at the nickname I had bestowed on me as he dragged me back towards my friends who were trying very hard not to break down laughing again.
"Oh god...what have you guys told him."
Jess spoke up then with mock hurt on her face. Her one hand holding the newly poured wine and the other draped dramatically over her heart.
"Why Blaine...would we embarrass you in front of Kurt..well I never..."
"Oh you guys so would...all of you would...because embarrassing me seems to be a hobby of yours as of late." I sat on the arm of the couch and Kurt gracefully sat on my lap, one hand around my neck and the other was placed in his own lap as I still held firmly to his waist. It would have normally made me nervous to be in this intimate of a position with Kurt but he seemed more relaxed than I had seen him in a while.
"So have you guys been nice to Kurt and introduced yourselves accordingly...and politely yes I'm talking to you Jay." Jay had been pouring himself another glass of wine then and stopped mid pour to smile cheekily.
"Yes B we all introduced ourselves and explained how we knew each other blah blah blah..." Jess was obviously impatient, "but I think we need to finish the story about Blaine at the zoo with the camel!"
"Oh god Jess you didn't..." Everyone just giggled including Kurt and I dropped my head.
"Oh come on babe you have your friends and your new awesome boyfriend might I add in the same room with wine...you thought embarrassing stories weren't going to happen?" Kurt was laughing even as he said this and how could I refuse the pout that those delicious lips were forming. I reached over and pecked him on the lips quickly before taking a deep breath and gazing into Kurt's aqua coloured eyes.
"Ok guys I'll finish the story...but only cuz I love Kurt...not because I want to...so from the beginning then...Jess and I went to the zoo and there was this camel who seemed to like me a little too much.."
The rest of the evening went by perfectly if I did say so myself. We ordered Korean BBQ take out from Terri and Jay's favourite restaurant in Chinatown and we ate happily swapping stories about high school, our families and our jobs. Kurt even got into the action telling them about Glee Club hijinks, how he got a cat thrown at him in a nursing home once during a performance and how his brother Finn wanted to make a point to a bully and designed a whole Lady Gaga outfit from a red vinyl shower curtain. Jay and Kurt got along famously as I figured they would as they swapped witty remarks at one another all night. We drank probably a little too much because Terri was getting a little handsy with Jay and Jess was slurring and giggling out of control at one point.
That was when my heart stopped as Kurt decided to revisit his earlier blackmail promise.
"So did Blainey here ever tell you about getting trashed during one of our Glee parties before making out with my friend and now roommate Rachel? Oh yeah...a girl...it was that bad..." The room stopped whatever they were doing and looked at me incredulously as Kurt continued. He was slurring a little too but his face was lightly flushed as he flashed me and evil smirk before whispering in my ear hotly, "I told you babe. Eternal blackmail. I think its time to bring it out of my back pocket."
Kurt told the story in painful detail to our little gathering. Jaws dropped and there was a nervous giggle coming from Terri which I didn't expect from him.
"Oh Blaine. I thought I was the one that screamed straight sometimes but you actually tried it. Ha ha!" I buried my head in my hands and allowed my friends to playfully banter along with Kurt.
He was rubbing soothing circles on my back the entire time to reassure me that he was only playing and I was thankful being a little tipsy because I thought I was going to die from embarrassment alone.
After I extracted myself from the laughter at my expense, I went into the kitchen to clean up some of the take out packages and put the leftovers in the fridge when I felt a nudge beside me; it was Jake.
"Hey Blaine honey. I know we've been hard on you tonight but it was just fun and we wanted Kurt to feel comfortable. You know I'm not serious all the time...well ok so I'm hardly ever serious but before I get too drunk I wanted to say I approve. Kurt I mean, he's definitely cute, " Jake was eyeing my boyfriend as he said this so I slapped him on the shoulder, "Hey that's mine ya know."
"Alright Anderson untwist your panties I was just saying I think he's handsome, definitely sassy which I love, and he seems to really care about you which is important because we love you and want you to be happy." Just when I thought Jay had turned over a leaf and was having a serious conversation he opened his mouth again, "plus he knows his fashion and his ass looks great in tight jeans...so he passes in my books." He winked at me which earned another playful slap but I pulled him into a hug which he returned eagerly.
"Thanks Jay, your nuts and a bit of a slut...but thanks ha ha ha!"
"You know it! But I think we're going to take our leave now and maybe try and convince the wee redheaded spitfire to join us for a night cap at Chez Collins(their apartment). You guys wanna come or would you rather stay in tonight hmm?"
I took that opportunity to look over at Kurt again who was listening to Terri ramble about something. Kurt must make him comfortable if he was talking to him directly with so much energy, when he glanced up to look at me. He looked...happy? He was smiling ear to ear and I got lost in his eyes before I clued in to Jay waving his hand in front of my face, "Uh hello Blainey-boo come back to earth honey? I guess that's no to comin out."
"Oh what? Sorry Jay I-"
"Say no more...staying at home eye fucking will ensue...Ter we're leavin! Jess you're coming too!"
"Oh...um ok then am I coming home tonight or is your sofa going to be my crashing point again?" Jess stood up a little less gracefully then normal as she said this.
"Depends on how much fun we get into tonight." Jay had left me in the kitchen still gazing at Kurt as walked up beside his man and kissed him mid sentence all but cutting off his conversation with Kurt.
"Mmm, as much as I love you why did you cut me off? Are we leaving now?" Terri looked out of breath with just one kiss and I could see that even after all this time they could still take each others breath away and it gave me an idea.
I walked over to Kurt like a man on a mission and he looked awestruck by me for some reason. His eyes ghosted over my form as I approached him. I grabbed his face in my palms, the tips of my fingers tracing the hair on the back of his neck and forcefully connected our lips. The kiss was quick and open mouthed as I drove my tongue in slightly before pulling away which earned a moan and stunned expression from Kurt. His normally blue eyes looked darker slightly and he seemed lost for words and as if proving my point a little out of breath. I smiled that I could do that to him and hopefully always could.
Jake broke our silence but not our gaze as he grabbed his coat and Ter's from the back of the chair.
"Ummm yeah so they aren't coming if their eye fucking and heavy breathing are any indication. Let's go guys."
Kurt broke our stare and connection as he moved away from me and walked over to the guys extending a hand, "It was nice to meet you guys, sorry bout that."
Jake pulled Kurt into a hug which made me smile, "The pleasure was ours honey, we'll be seeing you around soon I hope and don't worry about it, you guys are hot and a little side show always makes my day." Kurt blushed as he pulled away from a laughing Jay.
Terri hugged him goodbye as well but it was more intimate and simple, "Nice to finally meet you Kurt. Call me ok, we'll do lunch?"
"Definitely." The broke apart and Terri handed him his number but not before winking at me. It did make me jealous but also highly suspicious.
Jess was the last to say goodbye but it was more of a wave and a wink as she glanced between me and Kurt and Kurt just nodded in her directions as all 3 of them yelled goodnight at me and left immediately thereafter.
"Ok babe are you going to tell me what that was all about?" I gestured to the phone number scribbled on the piece of paper he tucked into his pocket. He just shrugged playfully and grabbed the wine glasses off the table officially ending that conversation. I think I'll ask him about it again later nut I was distracted as he was clearing the table of all the dishes too.
"What are you doing?"
"Um..cleaning up? You don't want these glasses leaving rings on your table and red wine is incredibly hard to get out of everything if it isn't soaked first." He was rambling on and on about the importance of cleaning up after a party as I helped him in silence for a bit.
"You're adorable you know that?" I said after we had finished soaking the remainder of the dishes.
"I try." He was blushing but had turned towards the sink as he was trying to hide the blush that was threatening to creep down his neck now. So I stood behind him at the sink and looped my fingers into the loop of his jeans as I rested my head on his shoulder. I lightly kissed along his shoulder to his neck where I breathed a soft kiss just below his ear.
I felt his body relax into me as he hummed appreciatively.
"Blaine?" His breath was a little shaky but I answered him with a low whisper, "Yeah?"
"Um...when I got here..y-you were talking pretty loud to some-o-one on the phone in your room...w-who was it?"
That brought me out of my lust induced haze to remember my previous emotional conversation with Finn. Shit I didn't know he heard.
"Umm I don't want you t-to get mad but I was...talking to F-finn"
"Finn? As in my brother Finn?" He turned around to face me with a questioning look.
"Of course that Finn...how many people have that name honestly?" I laughed and he couldn't contain his own smile.
"Fair enough but why were you talking to him...was something wrong?"
"No not at all, I called him actually." He wrapped his arms around my neck and asked me quietly with a hint of concern, "Why?"
"Because I needed to apologize to him...for what I did...t-to you I mean. He needed to know that I l-loved you and how sorry I-I was..." Kurt cut me off, "You told Finn you loved me?"
"Of course I did...cuz I do.." He cut me off again, " did he forgive you?"
"No but he said he would try...for you that is..he did threaten me if I hurt you again. He said he would bring the entire OSU football team here to 'visit'." I chuckled at this but I was anything but comfortable with that mental image but my thoughts were clouded immediately as Kurt pulled me closer into a very tight hug. He was whispering so I could only make out some things like, "I can't believe you did this...it means so much to me...I love you too...I won't let Finn hurt you..."
I was feeling on top of the world at that point as this beautiful boy was comforting me when it should be the other way around. I had a warm and tight feeling in my stomach as I continued to hug him he began to place small pecks along my neck and my breath hitched as he continued his gentle assault up to my ear. I tried to suppress a moan but it slipped out anyway as he took my earlobe in his teeth and grazed it slowly.
He pulled away then and the look on his face was want mixed with fear.
"Kurt...do you have any idea what you do to me?" I kissed him lightly but it turned deeper and rougher really quickly as my tongue began tracing his bottom lip. Pulling away teasingly as I spoke low and sultry against his lips again.
"Let me show you baby...let me take care of you." Kurt half groaned and half sighed as I leaned in to kiss him again. Tonight was going to be all about Kurt and overcoming his fears in anyway that I could make him see how beautiful he was, and how much I wanted him.
Ok so firstly sorry about leaving it there but it was getting long and I didn't want to rush the next scene so I stopped here *evil grin* . Secondly I want to thank you all again for the lovely things you said and the time you took to write them to me...it made me very happy. Reviews on this are like oxygen...I need them to live. Plus it makes me feel important. Anywho I will keep writing this and the OC tonight and we'll see which comes out next.
PS = anyone else want to know what happened with Blaine and the camel? LOL Write me you're own version and whoever gives the best story idea gets a nod in the next chapter...plus some serious respect for creativity. Klainebows everyone 3
