The Honeymoon Phase (Klaine)
Title: The Honeymoon Phase
Prompt: Honeymoon
Medium: fic
Rating: PG
Warnings: Schmoop
Summary: So, maybe the honeymoon phase was over, but that didn’t have to be a bad thing.
Kurt was happy, possibly the happiest he had been in a long time. He had a wonderful boyfriend and classmates who didn’t harass him. Personally, he counted this as progress.
He also knew it couldn’t last.
Honeymoon: (n) any period of blissful harmony, before problems set in.
Kurt had known about the ‘honeymoon stage’ but he didn’t think that it would really be that bad. How could a relationship just go bad like that?
~*~
Well, until it did.
Kurt had been amazed when Blaine had sung to him, a spy, in front of the whole school, romantically, and to another boy. He was pretty sure he was halfway to falling in love.
Then he helped him stand up to his bully, and probably his worst fear after he knew his father wouldn’t hate him. Blaine gave Kurt courage.
Besides that, he drove two hours to do so. Blaine thought that Kurt didn’t know how much he was doing for him, but he did. He didn’t let on, but he was so impressed by all that Blaine was doing for him, sure that if they weren’t friends, he would think Blaine was wooing him. Not that he needed wooing, but it was much appreciated if that was what was going on.
But then he went to Dalton and the blissful few weeks with Blaine were over. Blaine was warm and helpful, yes, but he also told Kurt to “town it down” and be “less theatrical.” He wanted Kurt to fit in, not be himself.
Kurt would never be able to sacrifice his personality, even if it was for Blaine. He loved who he was and where he came from, even if others would give the world for it to be different. He loved his life despite and for all the troubles he went through, and being safe with Blaine wasn’t going to make him change that.
~*~
Blaine was still chivalrous and amazing, continuing to help him with his new classes and glee and anything else Kurt could ever dream of, but it wasn’t quite enough anymore. Blaine was different, probably because Kurt wasn’t seeing him through “rose colored glasses” like before. He saw Blaine’s flaws; that he always wanted to fit in and wore too much hair gel and didn’t have a lick of fashion sense outside of the Dalton uniform itself. He wasn’t happy with these “problems,” but he was learning to accept them for what they were; impossible to avoid.
Kurt knew that he was probably too picky with his clothes and too determined to stick out, though his hair was perfect, he couldn’t deny that to himself or anyone else. He knew that Blaine had come to know these things about Kurt and that he had accepted them long ago. If he hadn’t, he would have never tried so hard or done so much for Kurt in the first place. Kurt was, now that he looked back on it, completely himself when he came to spy on the Warblers months ago. He was wearing designer everything and waited on the stairs for twenty minutes before asking Blaine just because nobody else seemed quite right to him, for one reason or another.
Blaine had accepted him, and in return, Kurt would do the same. They could work on their flaws together, until they were both happy. So what if the honeymoon phase was over? It never lasted that long anyway.
