Prompt: Doug Witter - "You know maybe I'm a selfish idiot but I'm happy with what we have. I mean I like that it's just the two of us and I don't care that the rest of the world isn't involved." - 'Dawson's Creek'
"Finally, they're all gone," Blaine said, as he flopped down on the couch next to me. He immediately reached out and took my hand in his.
I flipped closed the history book I had been reading and looked over at my sole companion in the dorm lounge now that everyone else had headed for their rooms for the night. Blaine was looking at me adoringly and I felt my heart start to beat faster. As long as I had wanted this, even now it felt like I was dreaming at times.
Leaning closer, Blaine pressed his lips against mine. Eagerly, I returned the kiss, my hand reaching up so I could tangle my fingers into Blaine's dark hair.
"I really wish I didn't have to wait for the others to leave before I can do this," Blaine whispered as we broke apart from the kiss.
"I thought we agreed that we didn't want to cause any distractions from preparations for Regionals," I said, knowing even as I said the words that it was a flimsy excuse I was hiding behind to keep from facing my fears. Dalton might have a zero-tolerance no bullying policy but the reminders of Karofsky's death threat and bullying were still fresh in my mind. Though I had no intentions of crawling back into the closet, I was a bit leery about pushing things too far. I had Blaine, and for me that was enough for now.
"We did but that isn't the only reason you want to keep our relationship quiet for now, is it?" Blaine asked, moving his hands to cup my cheeks. Looking into his gaze, I knew he was searching for his answer without waiting for me to speak.
"Is it wrong to take things slow?" I asked. "Is it wrong that I'm happy just having you as my boyfriend and I don't care if the rest of the world is involved or not?"
"No, nothing wrong at all with that. I just wanted to make sure we're on the same page because if we win Regionals, I may not be able to keep this just friends act up during the Warbler's celebration."
"I can live with that," I replied, leaning toward him to initiate another kiss.
