A/N: Mentions of The New Normal - I don't own that, either.
They talk the rest of the night about anything and everything; stupid inconsequential things from their favorite colors to their coffee orders to their childhood dreams. And Kurt doesn't stop smiling once.
"Four more days!" Clara, Kurt's Maria, shouts to him as he grabs his bag, ready to leave the theatre.
"I can't wait. See you tomorrow," he responds.
It's dark when he gets outside. They don't usually rehearse on Tuesday evenings, and they never stay this late, but Elaine decided to run the last few rehearsals leading up to opening night for longer than usual.
to Blaine:
I forgot to ask last night, have you seen the Tumblr dedicated to us?
Kurt texts Blaine as soon as he's settled in his car; he can't wait to get home but he hasn't really had to chance to talk to his boyfriend properly today.
from Blaine:
Which one? xxx
He smiles as he notices the kisses; Blaine would occasionally put them at the end of texts but it seemed to be a consistent thing now (or so Kurt hoped).
to Blaine:
What do you mean 'which one'? xxx
He sends the text before he remembers what Mia had said about there being quite a few people that ship them together, which probably meant more than one blog.
from Blaine:
I've seen a few...xxx
to Blaine:
Right, okay. Anyway, I have an hour's drive ahead of me now, I'll speak to you later xxx
from Blaine:
Drive safe. Can I call you later? I miss your voice xxx
Kurt replies affirmative, finding Blaine's cheesiness endearing and starts the engine.
"Hey beautiful," Kurt hears as he picks up the phone. He had come right up to his room after he got home, claiming exhaustion to his dad, and he had gotten changed and collapsed straight into bed.
Heat rushes to his cheeks. "Uh. H-hey," he stutters out in reply. He grabs the bottle of water on his bedside table and takes a sip, his mouth suddenly dry.
"Are you okay?" Blaine asks, sounding amused.
"Yeah, it's just - no one has ever called me that before."
"Do you mind me calling you that?"
"Not... not if you want to," Kurt says quietly, still blushing.
"Good, because you're beautiful, beautiful."
Kurt giggles before clearing his throat. "So how was your day?" he asks in an attempt to change the subject.
Blaine lets him, taking the bait. "It was alright. I had college, then I caught up with a few friends I haven't seen in a while, it was nice."
"Where are you now?" Kurt asks, finally noticing the sound of traffic in the background.
"I called you as I got off the subway, I'm just walking home."
Kurt swallows down the jealously of the fact he's stuck in Ohio and Blaine is in New York City. "I can't wait to be there," he sighs.
"I can't wait for you to be here either," Blaine says and Kurt realizes that New York doesn't just mean New York anymore; it means Blaine, too.
"That reminds me," Kurt says, "I'm sending off my NYADA application this week."
"Oh great! If you need any help, let me know," the older boy offers.
"Thank you, Blaine."
"Evening, Henry," Kurt hears Blaine say quietly. "Kurt, I'm going into an elevator now, sometimes the signal cuts out so if it does I'll call you back once I'm out, okay?"
"Okay."
"Are you excited for Saturday?" Blaine asks about the opening night of West Side Story.
"So excited. There's a mixture of adrenaline and nervousness every time I think about it. I'm ready, too, I think it's going to be great."
"I'm sure it will be, I still wish I could be there to see it," Blaine says, the reception on the line not as clear as before, but still there. Floor nine, doors opening, Kurt hears in the background.
"I know, me too," Kurt admits quietly. It scares him when he thinks of how much he likes Blaine considering he's never even met him.
He hears some rustling on the other end of the line and it's quiet for a while. "Sorry, I'm home, finally. I can talk now, no interruptions," Blaine promises.
Kurt smiles. "So..." he starts, dragging the word out. "These Tumblr's?"
"Ah, yes. The 'Klaine' shippers," Blaine laughs.
"How come you didn't tell me about the blogs?" Kurt asks, laughing too.
"I actually only found them the other day, one started following me and then I discovered a lot more. We - uh, we actually weren't talking..."
"Oh," Kurt says quietly. "I'm sorry."
"Seriously, you don't have to keep apologizing. But yeah, anyway, it's a little creepy but very much entertaining."
"There is fanfiction, Blaine. Fanfiction."
"Yeah, have you read any?" Blaine asks a little too quickly.
"No! No. No way. It was rude! Have you?"
"I may have looked over one..." Blaine admits and Kurt lets out something between a gasp and a shocked laugh.
"Are we going to tell them?" Kurt asks after a little while.
"Yes. I think we should make them sweat a little first, though."
"What do you have in mind?" Kurt smirks.

Kurt's body shakes with laughter as he clicks reblog.

our conversations are the best
Blaine had admitted that the NC-17 fanfic Kurt had seen was the one that he had read. It doesn't take long before other people get ahold of their post and even though Kurt had expected that this would happen, it still shocks him that people are so invested in his life.
OMG THEY'RE CALLING EACH OTHER OMG DRUIGNETNGETGI
mY baBIES ;_;

I'm trying to be respectful but they're having INTERESTING conversations and now Blaine's TIRED!

to Blaine:

from Blaine:
Pretty much xxx
They last another day until they both decide they can't hold it in any longer. Kurt had been dying to tell Mia but had played along with his boyfriend - instead he had told her that he'd apologized to Blaine and they had sorted things out but had agreed on being friends.
He hadn't told anyone. Things were still kind of awkward between himself and Rachel, and after her reaction when he had first told her about Blaine, it made him reluctant to tell her now.
Kurt [9:10] Have you told anyone?
Blaine [9:11] Of course! I've told anyone who will listen.
Kurt [9:13] Can we tell Tumblr?
Blaine [9:15] How do you want to do this?
Kurt [9:16] Follow my lead.
He minimizes Skype and opens his browser. Before he posts anything he quickly grabs his phone and texts Mia.
to Mia:
I think you should know before Tumblr finds out - which should be soon. I have a boyfriend. A boyfriend named Blaine and I'm sorry for not telling you sooner. It's literally been days but I HAVE A BOYFRIEND!
Feeling some sort of thrill in this, Kurt opens up a new post and starts typing.
My boyfriend is amazing, he publishes.
A few minutes later, the post has twenty notes - mostly likes and a few enquiries as to who. He ignores the two anons he gets asking who is your boyfriend? and is Blaine your boyfriend? and smirks when he notices Blaine has reblogged the post.
Amazing, huh? he's added to it and Kurt rolls his eyes, glad that Blaine is playing along.
Oh yeah, so amazing. Hot, too, he replies back feeling confident.
He sneaks a look at the kandb-klaine Tumblr and there seems to be a lot of speculating going on. He chuckles to himself and sends Blaine a link.
I feel so sorry for Blaine, pretending to be okay that Kurt has a boyfriend when he's so obviously in love with him.
unless blaine IS the boyfriend?
oMG pLeASE jkqojiqsxiowsnniows!
What a coincidence, my boyfriend is also hot... very, very hot in fact. Kurt scrunches his nose and smiles at what Blaine has reblogged the post with, he feels proud of himself for not blushing.
Thank you, boyfriend, he replies, happy to stop teasing and to finally admit that Blaine is his boyfriend.
Kurt [9:56] I gave it up.
Blaine [9:58] I saw. And I like it when you call me that by the way.
[9:59] Boyfriend, I mean.
Kurt [10:01] I like being your boyfriend.
He clicks back on Tumblr and refreshes his dashboard. The majority of it is about him and Blaine; a lot of people are freaking out and it seems to be that way no matter how far Kurt scrolls down.

klaine is real they're boyfriends and they're in love and everything hurts
