Hi guys! I'm gonna reply to reviews at the bottom. Hope you enjoy this chapter. Also: There is an important thing on the bottom in the reviews so please check that out.

Kurt didn't know what to say. Anything would have been better than the deafening silence between the two. It was a 'pinch me I must be dreaming' kind of moment. Kurt glanced around the room, not meeting any eyes that had an answer or a distraction.

"What do you mean?"

Brilliant, Kurt.

"Can you really try and tell me that all of this time you were just another friend? You're the only person who knows that I love the sound of pouring rain and that I cry every time-"

"Monica and Chandler propose to each other because Matthew Perry should never cry."

Blaine laughed and went to speak, but Kurt just put a finger on his lips. Blaine looked at him puzzlingly, but he just smiled before continuing on.

"Your favorite color isn't a color, it's the way clear water looks in the ocean. Your favorite food is the same as mine; cheese pizza with extra sauce. Your favorite shirt is your purple v-neck because it's soft. Your favorite song is Some Nights by Fun because it reminds you of the Lion King. Finally, your favorite book is The Fault in Our Stars by John Green because you strive to be, and I quote, a 'metaphorical bastard that rivals even the most poetic sentence Augustus Waters ever said'" Kurt took a deep breath, flickering his eyes to the room that hadn't stopped in the middle of what they were doing. It was weird because that happened when he talked to Blaine. It seemed like time stalled and it was just those two people in a frozen world. Their conversations couldn't afford to be interrupted by a high five or a question about Algebra.

"You remembered all of that?"

"Blaine, I remember everything you say. I listen to you. I know as much as you let me, and I'm always left wanting to ask more. You're this amazing person who can't just love the sound of pouring rain; you have to love how it sounds on a tin roof in the middle of summer. It's aggravating but it's also one of my absolute favorite things about you."

"We need to talk somewhere that's not a mental facility."

Blaine waved to Gavin quickly, and Kurt followed suit while following Blaine down the hallway and past the receptionist. They piled into the car, listening as rain began to fall quietly outside onto the streets. He didn't say where they were going, but ten minutes later they were sitting in an overlook of Ohio. It wasn't a cityscape view, but it was better than cement walls.

It was silent a while after Blaine put the car in park. Kurt wanted to break the silence, so he asked just one of the million questions floating around in his head.

"Why did you want to talk in a place that wasn't a mental facility?"

"Because that's not where I pictured telling you about these feelings I've had."

"Explain." Kurt put his hand on Blaine's who looked out the windshield and at the city that was winding down for the night.

"Kurt, you're elegant. You move with grace and you don't even realize it. You observe. You notice the small things; which includes me because I'm kind of tiny."

Kurt giggled, nodding.

"I didn't know if I was ever going to tell you how I felt. I thought in a few weeks you and Sebastian would get together and eventually it would be easier, or get easier to not want to walk over to you and hug you when you look absolutely exhausted, or run my fingers through your hair when you don't style it. "

"I don't like Sebastian." Kurt leaned over the armrest, taking both of Blaine's hands now. He didn't look at Kurt for a few moments; the only sound was the drops of rain hitting the roof and the glass of the windshield.

"I know. Want to know a secret though?"

"Always."

Blaine leaned closer to Kurt, removing his hands from the boys and moving them to his face.

"It never got easier to not want to be with you, Kurt. I don't think it ever would have. If I could have told you that on a blanket in the middle of a Hawaiian summer, I would have. Hopefully it means just as much here."

"Kiss me."

Blaine looked at him earnestly before closing the little space there was between their faces. The kiss started slow, their lips moving against each other in a steady rhythm. Blaine tilted his head, smiling into the kiss as it quickened. Kurt pulled away then, peppering light kisses from Blaine's lips to the corner of his mouth, all the while smoothing his thumb over the boy's cheek.

He removed Blaine's hand from his face, kissing his palm and continuing to his wrist. He tried to be gentle on the fading scars, intertwining his fingers through Blaine's before letting their hands drop. He chanced a glance at Blaine, whose eyes were a warm caramel color. Blaine smiled at Kurt, leaning in to press one, two, three light kisses to his lips.

The car was dark now as it neared nine thirty. Rain drops fell lightly, making nearly no sound to fill the silence in between the two. The only other sound was one each hoped the other couldn't hear, and that was the heart thumping quickly in their chests. They hoped each other couldn't see the warm blush on their cheeks, the ruffled parts of their hair, and the smiles that stretched from ear to ear.

"Kurt?"

"Hm?"

"How is it that someone can take your breath away, but also make you feel like you can breathe for the first time in a long time?"

"I was just wondering the same thing."

That night they returned to their respectable dorms, way past curfew. The car ride home had consisted of Blaine driving, their hands intertwined on the arm rest as Kurt drifted off. There was no way of knowing what the night had meant. There wasn't a concrete arrangement made either. Were Blaine and Kurt boyfriends?

The question had been lingering on Blaine's lips, along with the taste of Kurt's as he snuck past Sebastian and curled up in his own bed.

After thirty minutes of tossing and turning his phone went off on his nightstand.

Kurt: I can't sleep and it's all your fault.

Blaine: I can't either, but why is it my fault?

Kurt: Because you're a conversational wizard and I would rather be talking to you than sleep.

Blaine laughed, pulling a hand through his hair.

Blaine: Conversational wizard?

Kurt: Yes. Hey can I ask you a question? It's so lame to ask it over text but if we get caught out of our rooms we don't get to leave tomorrow for spring break like everyone else.

Blaine: Ask away, Gandalf.

Kurt: You're sassy.

Blaine: Duh, ask your question!

Kurt: And demanding. Okay, are we boyfriends?

Blaine felt his stomach flutter, and he tried clumsily to type a response fast enough.

Blaine: Do you want to be boyfriends?

Kurt: To quote you, 'duh'

Blaine: Awesome. Me too.

Kurt: Then we're boyfriends!

Blaine: So if I'm tired, I can say goodnight boyfriend?

Kurt: No you're not allowed.

Blaine: As I've said before, and I'm the sassy one? Okay. Goodnight boyfriend.

Kurt: Goodnight :)

goldconverse 5/23/12 ch8n'aww that is super sweet. i would just like to say that i LOVE kurbastian ive no idea why but i think you should keep up sebastian lusting after kurt :) amazing chapter x

Thank you sweetie! Don't worry, Sebastian will keep on. Don't get me wrong, he won't try and make a cheater out of Kurt.

I always picture Blaine as a secretive guy if you catch my drift.

2kawaii01 5/14/12 ch8 Cliffhanger! NOOO! Fantasic story! Love it!

Well you know what they say, cliffhangers are a writers best friend. (If you get that refference oh my gosh please be my friend.) Thank you very much lovely!

2StarkidxGleek 5/13/12 ch8 dkljfakdsjf Please update soon! I love this story so much. I get so excited everytime you update.

Thank you! I feel like I've seen your username on tumblr, do you follow me darling? And that's always encouraging! :)

Muchacha 5/13/12 ch7 At least I learned what a Chinese fire drill was and how completely racist saying that is.

This would be the important thing I wanted you guys to look out for at the end. I read this review, and maybe I took it to seriously, but in all honesty I never EVER meant to hurt anyone's feelings. I had absolutely no idea this could be taken in a racist manner, and that's a flub on my part.

If I insulted you with this, please let me know and I will give the best personal apology I can. However, I want to apologize to all you guys because it breaks my heart to know that I could have hurt you or offended you. You guys make my day and are all amazing sweethearts. So Muchacha, I apologize to you if I hurt you, or if I took that in the completely wrong light.

3GeorgieGirl999 5/13/12 ch8 omg! this is amazing! i love the free pizza thing! (i know that was the last chapter but i re-read it and couldnt stop laughing again!) anyways i loved this chapter as well! they both love each other soooo much! please please update soon

Thank you babycakes! Haha I feel like Cooper would do something like that! I'm glad it made you laugh, that's one of my favorite things ever when people say I make them laugh. They do love each other. It's very evident Kurt's feelings for Blaine in this chapter, but
I promise that Blaine will confess something much the same to Kurt soon as well.

T-T-That's all folks! See you hopefully next week. I started working recently and I've been reallllyy busy.
