Chapter 7:

After that day in which Kurt told Blaine all about his past relationship with Chandler, the two friends became even closer. There was an understanding between them, that while they both cared for the other, Kurt wasn't ready for a relationship, even if Blaine was. Their friendship remained the same to someone on the outside, but to them the changes that emerged were noticiable. They became more trusting on the other and quickly became each other's confident. They were more affectionate, hugging a lot and occasionally pressing kisses to each other's cheek. They were comfortable, they cared for each other, they didn't need a label.

One day they were lounging on Blaine's apartment enjoying a day-in of Disney marathon, an occurance that had become a tradition of sorts when they both had free schedules. They were currently sharing some stories from their childhood and teen years when Blaine suddenly sat up.

"Have I ever told you about Sebastian?" He asked with a hint of seriousness to his voice.

The pale man frowned. "No...who is Sebastian?" Kurt knew it was because of him that things hadn't progressed further, but he didn't like the thought of Blaine being with anyone who isn't him.

'You've told me about your past." Blaine didn't want to mention he-who-shall-not-be-named name. "I think it's my turn to tell you about my ex."

Kurt raised his eyebrows and took Blaine's hands in his. "Blaine, I told you about Chandler to help you understand this" He mentioned between the two of them with his free hand. "You don't need to tell me about your past relationships just to return the favor."

The other man laughed. "Kurt, if this is going to eventually turn into something more, which I hope it will, we have to be honest with each other, which is why I'm going to tell you about my asshole of an ex. I want to tell you. I'm completely over him, its just that I'd like you to know about him. As friends, I want to tell you this story, okay?"

Kurt nodded, and squeezed his hands. "Okay"

"Sebastian and I met during middle school. I had this huge crush on him in eight grade, but we weren't exactly friends. Things changed once we got to High-School. During freshmen year we both joined the Warblers and we started to hang out a lot. In the beginning of sophomore year, he asked me out and we started dating not long after that. I was thrilled, and for a first boyfriend, he wasn't bad. We dated through the rest of High School, and moved to New York together. That is when things began going downhill." He grimaced at the memory. "Seb and I became busy with school and our different group of friends, he went to NYADA. Maybe you know him." Kurt tried to remember but didn't come up with anything. "Anyway, we hardly saw each other anymore. He had wanted me to move in with him, as he wasn't staying in the dorms, but I wanted at least one year of genuine college experience, so I decided to dorm. So, not only we had different schedules, went to different schools, we also lived apart. One day around the end of the school year I got out of class early and I decided to pay Seb a visit. I was thinking about finally moving in with him. But, he wasn't alone." Blaine spat the word. "Turns out he had been cheating on me since the beginning of the school year. We broke up on the spot, and I continued to share a dorm with Nick. Summer between Sophomore and Junior years Jeff and I moved in together, and Nick continued living in the dorms until he finished college, when he moved into his tiny flat."

Blaine was impressed with himself. it was the first time he had been able to recount the story without tearing up, and not getting a bit emotional. And he suspected that it had something or everything to do with the fair blue-eyed star sitting beside him looking at him with a sympathetic gaze. Now that Blaine told him a little he had his suspicions of whom he was talking about: a green-eyed, tall, guy with meerkat face and cocky smirk, known among his class as man-whore. He and Kurt had actually shared most classes as they were both majoring in theater. But when Blaine first mentioned him, he hadn't made any connection, as he hadn't really thought of Sebastian as one for being in a relationship.

"Blaine, I'm so sorry. No one deserves that. Now that you mentioned it, I believe I do know him. Smythe?" Kurt needed to confirm his last name. Sebastian Smythe wasn't an easy name to forget when he was constantly throwing insults to your face. When Blaine confirmed his suspicions, he continued. "Yeah, I know him. I'm so sorry, you didn't deserve the douche, B."

Blaine chuckled. "B.?"

"Yep...your new nickname. I think we've reached the point in our friendship where I may refer to you with a nickname, don't you?" Blaine grinned and nodded. Progress, he cheered internally.

"Anyway..." Kurt's voice brought him out of his musings, "how about we pop in Mulan now...we still have a ton of Disney movies to watch!"

A few days later Kurt and Blaine were flying together back to Ohio to spend Thanksgiving with their respective families. Kurt was ecstatic. he hadn't seen his father in months, and he missed him. And he thought that getting away from New York and being back home might help him figure what was going on with him and Blaine a little. It was no secret that he liked Blaine, and that he trusted him. Now he just had to build up the courage to take the next step. Now that Blaine knew the story, he knew that it was up to him to take the next step.

Kurt sighed as they reached the airport. The airport packed with many people flying home for the holidays, and they could see that there were some famous people there, as there were cameras and reporters. Taking in a deep breath, both Kurt and Blaine got out of the cab, after having a little discussion over who was paying the fare, and ending up splitting the cost. they unloaded their suitcases and proceeded to the entrance, hopefully passing unoticed by the media that was there. Unfortunately that was not the case. They heard the shouts and flashes and reporters demanding answers, but they both passed without explanations. It was only when they reached their boarding gate that they finally spoke.

"God. Must they always be so aware of our private lives?" Kurt seemed pissed. Blaine immediately started talking, knowing full well that Kurt and cameras outside events didn't have a pretty history.

"I didn't even think about that Kurt. I shouldn't, we shouldn't have come together. Now, you know we will be all over the news, and I hate the prospect as much as you do. But, now they will have their suspicions, I don't want to make you uncomfortable. Wait, you don't think I put them up to this, do you? I didn't, I swear Kurt, I had nothing to do with these cameras. Please believe me. They are probably here for the likehood of having famous people in the airport." He kept on talking on full panic mode now. Had he just ruined something that hadn't even began yet?

Kurt was laughing now. 'Blaine! Relax. they usually ambush me at the airport around this time of the year. Every Holiday the airport is full of media attention. I know its not you. And I know that being around you will grab media attention. After all, you are quite the Broadway start yourself. I know you didn't call for them." Kurt glanced at him. "B., I trust you. Chandler wanted his 15 minutes of fame. You don't need it. I know you are pretty reserved with your private life. And I know you are already famous. I know I have lived my past couple years based on my senior year of college. I have let the incident rule my life. But I'm trying to change that. That includes letting people in my life."

"Kurt...thank you for trusting me and letting me in. Means a lot." Blaine's voice was full of emotion.

Soon enough they were on the plane. The flight went without hitches, both of them enjoying the time together before they had to spend the week apart. After a while they were landing in Ohio, and crossing into the arrival yard. Kurt promptly began searching for his father when he heard his name being called.

"Kurt! Over here, son!" Burt was there, waving and jumping up and down. The boys reached him and he pulled his son into a tight hug. "I missed you, Kurt."

"Missed you too, Dad." Kurt was hugging back just as tightly. When he let go of his dad he suddenly remembered Blaine being with him, and hastily introduced them. "Oh, Dad, this is my friend Blaine, Blaine, this is Burt, my dad."

Blaine smiled over at Burt and held out his hand. "Nice to meet you Mr. Hummel. Heard a lot about you from Kurt."

"Good things I hope? And none of this Mr. Hummel crap. Call me Burt." The older man shook his hand tight. Turning to his son, he said, "Kurt, you ready? Carole is dying to see you."

"Yeah, just a minute." The star turned to his friend, "Bye Blaine. Happy Thanksgiving. See you in a week."

Blaine smiled back and pulled him into a hug. "Bye, Kurt. See you."

As father and son left the airport talking and laughing loudly, Blaine looked after with a fond look. He soon shook his head and headed to the car rentel booth so he could head back home.

It hadn't scaped Burt's eyes the way Blaine looked at his son as if he was the most important person in the world, nor of how comfortable Kurt was with this Blaine guy. He knew that if they weren't dating yet, they would soon be. And he only hoped that things would work out for Kurt this time. His little boy deserved all the happiness in the world.

Next chapter: Main focus on Kurt's bonding time with his father and Cooper shall be introduced briefly.
