Summary: Kurt goes to a friend's bonfire in his senior year of high school. There, he meets a boy named Blaine, and it's the first time he ever gets to cuddle in bed with a boy, but that's all that happens. They seem to get a long really well, and without meaning to, Kurt has a nice and nerve wrecking idea forming: he thinks he might really like Blaine.
Warnings: slight future!fic AU, an OC, underage drinking, slight angst, concentrated fluff
Author's Notes: Not beta'd. All mistakes are my own.
Kurt gets off his shift from the candle shop he's started working at this year around 8 PM, and after he stops by his house to change his clothes, he heads over to his friend Robin's house for a bonfire.
It's a small bonfire for a few friends, and ever since Kurt decided to take an art class his senior year, he's slowly turning into an artsy fartsy kid. The choir room is still his home, and New Directions are still all members of his closely-knit family, but he's proud that he's slowly making his way into another crowd.
When he arrives at Robin's house, it's already dark, but then he walks down the hill leading to her backyard and sees the fire's going strong with people sitting around it.
He sits down next to Robin after she gives him a hug and introduces him to the group of kids sitting around the fire. There's a few people from her and Kurt's art class, and then a few boys she said she met through her cousin that go to a school in Westerville. They all look like a nice group of people, and Kurt's glad that it's a relatively warm fall night, so he only had to wear a light jacket and scarf.
They talk about what they're all thinking about being for Halloween, but Kurt just lies and says he doesn't know what he'll be. There's no way that anyone is stealing his idea that he's had for four months now.
Around 10:30 PM, Robin brings out a case of beer and asks if anyone wants one. Seven people say yes, and Kurt is one of those seven. People are allowed to spend the night if they drink, and Kurt thinks it's about time he's slept over Robin's so he can get to know a few of these people better. They all give him a good vibe, so he's ready to make some new memories without his fellow glee clubbers present.
This is when he really notices him.
A dark brown haired boy with a red hoodie says he's going to play a Katy Perry song, gaining a few groans but mostly laughs from the group. He grins and starts strumming the chords, picking at a few of the strings to create an interesting version of the song, and Kurt's really wishing he could remember this boy's name right now.
This is when he really, really notices him for the first time.
He hears the name 'Blaine' being called over to the boy, so Kurt confidently assumes that Blaine is this boy's name. Blaine.
As Blaine's singing "Teenage Dream" with the guitar, Kurt's trying not to stare. Though, when Blaine's looking at him, singing "you make me feel like I'm living a teenage dream, the way you turn me on...", it's kind of hard. Wait, no, not hard, that's um... Just not hard. Sweet, maybe. Sweet. Definitely.
Kurt finds himself clapping almost furiously at the end of the song, and all Blaine does is grin at him, tucking his head down lightly to show his unnecessary shyness. This guy is good. Good at turning Kurt on in his skin tight jeans, that is.
Conversation picks up soon after, but Kurt's not sure why. All he can do is focus on Blaine's guitar, watching his fingers switch from fret to fret, up and down the neck of the guitar, as he makes up his own rhythm and riff. Kurt really just wants to hear him sing again. He's wishing right now that there was someway he could get the glee club to listen to this voice, but most importantly, he wishes there were someway right now that he could get closer to him and have the reassurance that he'll get to see this boy again. Maybe he's spending the night, too? Who knows.
Not that Kurt plans to do anything with or to him, definitely not. He just wants to be able to talk to him.
Suddenly, it's the first time--well, maybe not the first--that Kurt thinks someone's actually looking out for him somewhere high up in the sky.
Robin tells the group that Kurt's in McKinley's glee club, and everyone now wants to hear Kurt sing.
Kurt leans away from the fire with his legs folded and smiles softly, hoping they can't see him blushing. "No, no, Blaine blows me out of the water. How about you just... sing something else."
Kurt's heart pounds as Blaine stares at him, and it's the first time tonight that he's actually talking to him. Please, get the attention off me.
Blaine just tilts his head to the side and continues staring at Kurt as he starts picking a tune on the guitar. The way he's looking at him tells Kurt that Blaine wants him to guess the song. Kurt leans his ear closer to listen better, and then sits up straight and smiles when he recognizes the tune. "I love this song."
"What is it, Blaine?" Robin asks.
"'Blackbird' by The Beatles," Blaine says back. "You know the lyrics, Kurt?"
Kurt nods slowly, smiling awkwardly because he knows he's going to ask him to sing. Blaine motions for him to come sit by him. "We'll sing it together then."
And this is what hope feels like.
Kurt gets up and sits down on the grass next to Blaine, hoping that his heart rate goes down before he has to start singing. Blaine smells really nice from where Kurt's sitting next to him, and he's pleased to know Blaine's not one of those guys who wears too much cologne like Finn does sometimes when he doesn't shower for a few days. No, Blaine's scent is very natural and sweet, mixed with bonfire smoke and the beer can he's been drinking.
They start singing it together, but before the middle of the song, Blaine stops singing and just smiles thoughtfully over at Kurt to let him take over the song. Kurt blushes through a verse to show his nervousness for having to sing it alone, but then he realizes that this is probably the only solo he'll get until after Sectionals and after Rachel has become soloed out, so his confidence increases. When he looks over at Blaine for a second time, it's suddenly become the most important solo he's ever had to perform.
The people that aren't sleeping over and didn't drink need to leave Robin's house before midnight, so everyone else that is sleeping over heads into the house at this time to watch a movie. They all vote on 28 Days Later, because it has zombies, an awesome soundtrack, and Cillian Murphy.
As fate would possibly have it, Kurt ends up sitting next to Blaine on the long couch surrounding the flat screened TV in Robin's basement. It's a little cold with the air-conditioning on for some awful reason, so Robin brings out a bunch of blankets she knitted with her grandma for the seven kids to share. Kurt is a little disappointed when he has to share his blanket with Robin instead of Blaine, but then Blaine says that Kurt seems cold, so he shares some of his blanket, too. How do you know I'm cold? We aren't touching. Touching skin, anyway. Touching my heart? Yes. You are definitely ravishing that right about now.
About halfway through the film, two of the couples on the couch have fallen asleep, so now it's just Kurt, Robin, Blaine, and a boy named Anthony that are awake. Kurt hasn't been able to concentrate on the film all too much on account of Blaine's body heat making its way to him in an attractive and comforting manner, but of course, it comes blaring in Kurt's ears when he hears Blaine say quietly, "God, Cillian Murphy is so sexy."
What? Is this real life?
Normally, Kurt wouldn't have the balls to speak out loud to a group of kids he doesn't know about another guy being attractive, but these are art kids, and Blaine did just say...
"Yeah, I'd wish for a zombie apocalypse every day as long as I could kill zombies with him."
Blaine doesn't say anything in return, but from the corner of his eye, Kurt sees a small smirk form on Blaine's face. Joyousness.
A little while later, feeling the effects of the beers he's not used to having, Kurt really has to go pee. Really badly. He tried to wait for the film to be over so he wouldn't have to move away from Blaine, but he really has to go now.
He gets up and goes upstairs to the bathroom, only to come out and see Blaine's been waiting by the door.
Blaine laughs quietly when Kurt jumps, not expecting him to be there. "Sorry, I promise I haven't been standing here listening to you pee, I just got up here because it sounded like a good idea. The movies almost over, and Robin says we can sleep anywhere."
Kurt's not sure why he says it, but "where are you sleeping?" comes out of his mouth before he has time to shove it down.
Rubbing his lips together slightly, Blaine looks like he's pondering the question before actually speaking. Ah. A trait I suddenly lack.
"Where are you sleeping?" Blaine repeats, smiling sheepishly.
Kurt's heart skips a beat. "Um, I'm not sure. Where's good? I've never been here before."
"Oh, you haven't?" Blaine looks towards the stairs for a moment. "What about up there?"
With you? With me? Is this what we're doing?
Kurt looks towards the stairs as an excuse to not have to look at Blaine for a moment. "Um, yeah, that sounds nice."
Blaine smiles to what Kurt thinks looks nervously and puts a hand on the back of his neck. "Right, so um. I'll uh, tell Robin where we're sleeping and be up there in a minute."
Kurt nods quickly and starts walking towards the stairs. "All right, cool." OH. MY. GOD.
He walks calm and collectively up the first few stairs and then quietly books it to a room that looks empty, hoping he can get under the covers before Blaine's in the room with him. If he's under the covers, he's automatically safer and more entitled to actually sleeping in the warm comfy bed than Blaine is. Logic at its best.
From what he can tell, this is a boy's room, so Kurt guesses it's Robin's brother's room. The moonlight from the window makes the room cast a blue shade, and it all feels right. He wants to text Mercedes and Rachel and practically scream "GUESS WHAT I'M DOING!!", but then he thinks no, he will tell them in the morning. This night isn't to be shared with his friends until then. It's his night, and maybe Blaine's night, too. Secretly, he just doesn't want to ruin this hopeful, exciting feeling that he's been absorbed in all night.
Blaine comes in a minute later as promised and shuts the door gently behind him. He smiles and says "hey" before climbing into the bed with Kurt. Suddenly, Kurt's breathing has stopped and his heart feels heavy in his chest. He can see him pretty well in the dark, but he almost wishes he couldn't. He wishes he couldn't, because then Blaine wouldn't be able to see him, and then Kurt wouldn't be able to see Blaine looking at him.
"Hi," Kurt whispers, smiling softly.
He's smiling until Blaine's face is extremely close to his after Blaine's turned on his side and has pulled the covers down a little. "Hi," he says back, smiling with a look of secret intention.
Kurt hopes he can't hear him clear his throat, but if Blaine's about to kiss him, Kurt needs to prepare somehow. (Minus the actually being able to prepare part.) This is a completely new situation with a complete stranger. Exciting. Scary as hell.
"I really like your voice," Blaine whispers, his hand resting close to Kurt's pillow.
Crap. I didn't hear you. Kurt leans his head in a little and smiles. "Sorry?"
Blaine leans his head even closer and grins. "I said..." He bites his lip and puts his hand on Kurt's side, and now, Kurt can feel Blaine's heart beating fast. ohmygaawwd.whaaaat?
Kurt decides to test his luck and slide his foot over the mattress to touch Blaine's foot. "You said what?"
Blaine smirks and starts rubbing their feet together gently. "Your voice is amazing, very beautiful. I really liked singing with you."
Blushing, Kurt decides to put his hand on Blaine's wrist and slide his fingers up the boy's sleeve to rub his forearm. "Oh, yeah?" He bites his lip and can feel the alcohol in his system telling him that right now is a great time to embrace the placebo effect, since he's really not drunk at all. "I could honestly listen to your voice all day long."
Blaine looks surprised for a moment, but then slowly lets the hand he has on Kurt's side move down to his hip. "I'm really glad you think that, thank you. I want you to sing to me every day. ...And to talk."
Kurt smirks softly and kisses Blaine's forehead without thinking. He just felt like he could.
Of course, Blaine takes it as an invitation to kiss him now. He slowly leans his nose against Kurt's cheek, and then smiles, before pressing his lips against Kurt's and softly sucking in his bottom lip before pulling back. Insert Le Morte d'Kurt here.
When Kurt continues to keep his lips close to his, Blaine kisses him again and this time slides his tongue into his mouth, getting to kiss Kurt for about a minute before Kurt pulls back breathlessly. "Whoa."
Blaine laughs softly and brings a hand up to stroke Kurt's hair. "You're cute."
Oh, god. No, stop. I can't take it.
Kurt lets out a shaky breath. "Well, you're really hot. And I'm sorry, I'm completely new to this. I'm sorry if I suck."
Blaine smirks and pecks his lips again before wrapping his arms around him. "You don't suck."
Feeling too out of breath to kiss him again right now, Kurt ducks his head under Blaine's chin and just stays pressed against him as Blaine holds him. It feels entirely weird being held by someone that isn't both Rachel and Mercedes, but by someone that he could potentially have those feelings toward. Oh, stop. You don't even know his last name yet. You are not drunk, so don't do anything... Don't dooo anyythinnnggg...
He tries to calm down as all his senses start just focusing on Blaine's thumb rubbing over his hand and his other hand rubbing Kurt's hip. Lots of rubbing. Kurt should get in on this.
He laces his and Blaine's fingers together and joins Blaine in rubbing over his pointer finger, feeling the calloused tips of his fingers from playing the guitar for years probably. They stay like this for what seems like an hour, just holding each other and pressing close. Kurt could get used to this.
Eventually, Blaine has a new proposition. "Hey, Kurt, are you awake?"
Kurt lifts his head up and smiles. "Mm, yeah. What's up?"
Blaine smiles back and pecks his lips. "I just wanted to kiss you again. Can I?"
"Can you what?"
Blaine smirks and leans his lips closer to Kurt's. "Sorry, may I kiss you again?"
Before Kurt can even finish one nod of the head, Blaine's lips are back on his, and this time they practice making out for a good ten minutes. Kurt gets to feel Blaine's tongue rubbing against his, gets to taste his bottom lip when it seems like a fun idea to suck it into his mouth, and gets to feel Blaine's hand on the small of his back, trying to press their bodies even closer.
However, Kurt's not sure what Blaine's expecting from him tonight. They already spent over an hour just cuddling and smiling at each other in silence, so if Blaine's expecting sex after all this super intense foreplay, Kurt will just have to politely decline. Maybe he's not expecting anything though, Kurt thinks he might have tried something already if he was that desperate. Maybe this is something. Though, he needs to be sure Blaine's thinking the same thing and not something else.
"Hey, Blaine, just so you know, I can't like... do anything with you tonight, all right? Not that I don't want to, but um, I'm weird. Sorry. I suck."
Blaine pulls back and looks at him, smirking. "Hey, that's all right with me. I honestly didn't even expect this from tonight, so it's totally fine. I guess I can't defend you in saying you're not weird though, because I don't know you yet, but I'm weird, too, so it's all good."
Kurt smiles and pecks his lips quickly. "Neat."
Blaine brings his hand up to caress Kurt's cheek and presses his head into the pillow to relax. "You're really good-looking, and I like kissing you."
Kurt smiles back at him when he joins him in pressing his head into the pillow. "You're really, really good-looking, and I like kissing you, too. Thanks for liking to kiss me."
Blaine laughs and lets his hand fall comfortably back to Kurt's waist under the covers. "You're cute." Kurt shrugs and pulls a diva-esque 'I know' face, making Blaine laugh again.
"I want to do this tomorrow night," Kurt instructs confidently, snuggling into Blaine some more.
Blaine's quiet for a moment before holding him closer. "All right, I can try."
Maybe he shouldn't have boldly made plans with Blaine already, but he needs to make sure he gets to spend more time with this guy. A phone number, a last name to search him up on Facebook, and a set time and place for a coffee date would be ideal.
Kurt feels Blaine's head sink even further into the pillow after thirty minutes of silence and cuddling, finally allowing Kurt's mind to go off and think whatever it wants. However, he's confident that no dream can beat this current situation.
~*~
They wake up in the morning, Blaine's nose pressed close to his, his hand still securely around Kurt's hip.
It's 8 AM, and Kurt knows his dad will want him home soon, but he's still tired from staying up until the early morning, and truth be told, Blaine's hand feels way too nice on his side to make him want to get up. He fights back the need to go pee, and shuts his eyes, forcing himself to go back to sleep for another hour. At 9 AM, his bladder is practically dying, so he gets up and goes downstairs to the bathroom, hoping Robin's parents aren't home, even though she already said they'd be gone all weekend.
Luckily, Robin's sitting at the kitchen table with coffee and the newspaper by herself.
Kurt comes over to the table and puts his hand on a chair. "You read the newspaper?"
"Sudoku." Robin replies automatically, but then she looks up at Kurt and smirks. "Sooo... How'd last night go? Did you get some?"
Kurt rolls his eyes and blushes, laughing softly. "No. I would never do anything in your house, let alone your brother's bed. And no, we just cuddled."
Robin giggles and leans her head down on the table, still grinning up at Kurt. "That's awesome, Kurt. You know how long we've all been waiting for Blaine to like someone? Forever. You should give him a lil' somethin' somethin'."
The rosy red color on Kurt's cheeks stays in place. "Well, I don't know if he likes me--but, hey, why forever? Is something wrong with him, or like...?"
Robin sits up straight again and shakes her head. "No, Blaine just got over a bad relationship like eight months ago, but eight months is an awful long time in Robin Years, so..."
When Kurt looks at her a little uncomfortably, she decides to explain further. "...Blaine was the good guy in the relationship. He was seeing this guy my cousin knows named Scott, and Scott was kind of a douche. We're pretty sure he cheated on Blaine, but Blaine never really told any of us if he did or not. I think Jeff might know, though. He's his best friend."
"The blond guy dating that one named Nick?"
Robin nods and sips her coffee, motioning to her mug a moment later. "Want some?"
Kurt shakes his head and says he should actually be going. Secretly, he feels like it'd be awkward if Blaine were to come down the stairs and have to see him leave. A small part of him thinks that last night was just a 'last night' circumstance, but the other smaller parts of his brain are telling him that just maybe, if Blaine wants to get in contact with him, he will. He hopes he will.
Kurt hugs Robin goodbye, and they make plans to talk on Monday about when to hang out next outside of school.
As Kurt's driving home, of course, he can't stop thinking about his new cuddle buddy. He really hopes he'll call or at least text him.
Then he remembers he forgot to give Blaine his number.
Chapter 2
----
Something I just felt like writing last night to get away from GR for a while. It's pretty close to real life events, and since I am unable to talk to myself about my problems, I write them in the form of Kurt and Blaine. This might have a part 2, but I'm not sure yet.
Lawl. I lied just now, sorry. This will have more parts. I apologize.

Blushing, Kurt decides to put his hand on Blaine's wrist and slide his fingers up the boy's sleeve to rub his forearm. "Oh, yeah?" He bites his lip and can feel the alcohol in his system telling him that right now is a great time to embrace the placebo effect, since he's really not drunk at all. "I could honestly listen to your voice all day long."
Blaine looks surprised for a moment, but then slowly lets the hand he has on Kurt's side move down to his hip. "I'm really glad you think that, thank you. I want you to sing to me every day. ...And to talk."
Kurt smirks softly and kisses Blaine's forehead without thinking. He just felt like he could.
Of course, Blaine takes it as an invitation to kiss him now. He slowly leans his nose against Kurt's cheek, and then smiles, before pressing his lips against Kurt's and softly sucking in his bottom lip before pulling back. Insert Le Morte d'Kurt here.
When Kurt continues to keep his lips close to his, Blaine kisses him again and this time slides his tongue into his mouth, getting to kiss Kurt for about a minute before Kurt pulls back breathlessly. "Whoa."
Blaine laughs softly and brings a hand up to stroke Kurt's hair. "You're cute."
Oh, god. No, stop. I can't take it.
Kurt lets out a shaky breath. "Well, you're really hot. And I'm sorry, I'm completely new to this. I'm sorry if I suck."
Blaine smirks and pecks his lips again before wrapping his arms around him. "You don't suck."
Feeling too out of breath to kiss him again right now, Kurt ducks his head under Blaine's chin and just stays pressed against him as Blaine holds him. It feels entirely weird being held by someone that isn't both Rachel and Mercedes, but by someone that he could potentially have those feelings toward. Oh, stop. You don't even know his last name yet. You are not drunk, so don't do anything... Don't dooo anyythinnnggg...
He tries to calm down as all his senses start just focusing on Blaine's thumb rubbing over his hand and his other hand rubbing Kurt's hip. Lots of rubbing. Kurt should get in on this.
He laces his and Blaine's fingers together and joins Blaine in rubbing over his pointer finger, feeling the calloused tips of his fingers from playing the guitar for years probably. They stay like this for what seems like an hour, just holding each other and pressing close. Kurt could get used to this.
Eventually, Blaine has a new proposition. "Hey, Kurt, are you awake?"
Kurt lifts his head up and smiles. "Mm, yeah. What's up?"
Blaine smiles back and pecks his lips. "I just wanted to kiss you again. Can I?"
"Can you what?"
Blaine smirks and leans his lips closer to Kurt's. "Sorry, may I kiss you again?"
Before Kurt can even finish one nod of the head, Blaine's lips are back on his, and this time they practice making out for a good ten minutes. Kurt gets to feel Blaine's tongue rubbing against his, gets to taste his bottom lip when it seems like a fun idea to suck it into his mouth, and gets to feel Blaine's hand on the small of his back, trying to press their bodies even closer.
However, Kurt's not sure what Blaine's expecting from him tonight. They already spent over an hour just cuddling and smiling at each other in silence, so if Blaine's expecting sex after all this super intense foreplay, Kurt will just have to politely decline. Maybe he's not expecting anything though, Kurt thinks he might have tried something already if he was that desperate. Maybe this is something. Though, he needs to be sure Blaine's thinking the same thing and not something else.
"Hey, Blaine, just so you know, I can't like... do anything with you tonight, all right? Not that I don't want to, but um, I'm weird. Sorry. I suck."
Blaine pulls back and looks at him, smirking. "Hey, that's all right with me. I honestly didn't even expect this from tonight, so it's totally fine. I guess I can't defend you in saying you're not weird though, because I don't know you yet, but I'm weird, too, so it's all good."
Kurt smiles and pecks his lips quickly. "Neat."
Blaine brings his hand up to caress Kurt's cheek and presses his head into the pillow to relax. "You're really good-looking, and I like kissing you."
Kurt smiles back at him when he joins him in pressing his head into the pillow. "You're really, really good-looking, and I like kissing you, too. Thanks for liking to kiss me."
Blaine laughs and lets his hand fall comfortably back to Kurt's waist under the covers. "You're cute." Kurt shrugs and pulls a diva-esque 'I know' face, making Blaine laugh again.
"I want to do this tomorrow night," Kurt instructs confidently, snuggling into Blaine some more.
Blaine's quiet for a moment before holding him closer. "All right, I can try."
Maybe he shouldn't have boldly made plans with Blaine already, but he needs to make sure he gets to spend more time with this guy. A phone number, a last name to search him up on Facebook, and a set time and place for a coffee date would be ideal.
Kurt feels Blaine's head sink even further into the pillow after thirty minutes of silence and cuddling, finally allowing Kurt's mind to go off and think whatever it wants. However, he's confident that no dream can beat this current situation.
~*~
They wake up in the morning, Blaine's nose pressed close to his, his hand still securely around Kurt's hip.
It's 8 AM, and Kurt knows his dad will want him home soon, but he's still tired from staying up until the early morning, and truth be told, Blaine's hand feels way too nice on his side to make him want to get up. He fights back the need to go pee, and shuts his eyes, forcing himself to go back to sleep for another hour. At 9 AM, his bladder is practically dying, so he gets up and goes downstairs to the bathroom, hoping Robin's parents aren't home, even though she already said they'd be gone all weekend.
Luckily, Robin's sitting at the kitchen table with coffee and the newspaper by herself.
Kurt comes over to the table and puts his hand on a chair. "You read the newspaper?"
"Sudoku." Robin replies automatically, but then she looks up at Kurt and smirks. "Sooo... How'd last night go? Did you get some?"
Kurt rolls his eyes and blushes, laughing softly. "No. I would never do anything in your house, let alone your brother's bed. And no, we just cuddled."
Robin giggles and leans her head down on the table, still grinning up at Kurt. "That's awesome, Kurt. You know how long we've all been waiting for Blaine to like someone? Forever. You should give him a lil' somethin' somethin'."
The rosy red color on Kurt's cheeks stays in place. "Well, I don't know if he likes me--but, hey, why forever? Is something wrong with him, or like...?"
Robin sits up straight again and shakes her head. "No, Blaine just got over a bad relationship like eight months ago, but eight months is an awful long time in Robin Years, so..."
When Kurt looks at her a little uncomfortably, she decides to explain further. "...Blaine was the good guy in the relationship. He was seeing this guy my cousin knows named Scott, and Scott was kind of a douche. We're pretty sure he cheated on Blaine, but Blaine never really told any of us if he did or not. I think Jeff might know, though. He's his best friend."
"The blond guy dating that one named Nick?"
Robin nods and sips her coffee, motioning to her mug a moment later. "Want some?"
Kurt shakes his head and says he should actually be going. Secretly, he feels like it'd be awkward if Blaine were to come down the stairs and have to see him leave. A small part of him thinks that last night was just a 'last night' circumstance, but the other smaller parts of his brain are telling him that just maybe, if Blaine wants to get in contact with him, he will. He hopes he will.
Kurt hugs Robin goodbye, and they make plans to talk on Monday about when to hang out next outside of school.
As Kurt's driving home, of course, he can't stop thinking about his new cuddle buddy. He really hopes he'll call or at least text him.
Then he remembers he forgot to give Blaine his number.
Chapter 2
----
Something I just felt like writing last night to get away from GR for a while. It's pretty close to real life events, and since I am unable to talk to myself about my problems, I write them in the form of Kurt and Blaine. This might have a part 2, but I'm not sure yet.
Lawl. I lied just now, sorry. This will have more parts. I apologize.
