Always Attract (Chapter 95)

Luke sat back on the floor of the nursery looking smug as Reid took in the room before him. “I have to say, I’m quite impressed.”

He shrugged, but still continued to grin like an idiot. “I put together Ethan’s crib after he was born. My dad was pretty overwhelmed with everything that was going on and I was trying to take my mind off of my mom so I

I should be asleep, but I wanted to read this first. I love that they got the talk about Luke staying out of the way before you killed me with the smut. ;D

Btw: I was being my lurking self again and read the comments btwn slayerkitty and you. First, I was amused that our earlier convo, my convo with her about the Chris pics, and your convo with her were happening at the same time. :D With regards to the comments, I will admit that I am a total Klainer, but agree that sometimes the Blaine character isn't exactly likeable. I think I am able to look past that stuff because of moments when "Blaine, your Darren is showing" and the combination of fanon!Blaine and my own Blaine headcanon to deal with Glee's inconsistency in writing and leaving out necessary scenes like the resolution to their BIOTA fight and showing the development between first kiss and being ready for sex. While I am excited for Klaine!sex, I just don't understand how the characters got to that point because the writers haven't really shown the physical aspect of their relationship.

I think their relationship could have longevity because it was built on a foundation of friendship & always being honest with each other. I think one of the main problems with relationships on the show is that the writers don't really show the development of relationships once the couples get together. They spend a lot of time on the "will they or won't they" & then don't show what is happening after the relationships start. I think that is why Tina crying because she was so in love was extra awkward because we never saw her and Mike get to that stage in their relationship. It went from "nice abs" to I love you to the point of tears. Maybe the writers just think it would be boring to show a couple happy and together, but I think it would be a good idea

I don't know. I just don't see a relationship like Blaine and Kurt's lasting very long. Blaine seems like the type that falls in love easily and I say love loosely because he was convinced he was in love with Jeremiah when they had coffee, what? Once. And he had no feelings of the romantic nature towards Kurt and then he hears him sing one song, which he had heard him sing by himself before then and BAM! He's like head over heels. And Kurt. Well I hate to say it, but it was sort of crush at first sight and Blaine is the only openly gay boy he's ever come in contact with. I just don't see it lasting

I think Blaine and Jeremiah had coffee more than once, but I could be wrong. I think that Blaine was interested in Kurt when they first met, but then Kurt needed a friend because of the Karofsky situation so he just went into friend/mentor mode and put that attraction aside. Blaine then told Kurt that he didn't want to screw up what they had in SLS because I think he needed their friendship just as much as Kurt needed it so he wanted to be sure of his feelings before getting together with him. I don't think it was the song so much as that moment making Blaine realize that Kurt didn't need mentor!Blaine anymore and that he was a viable dating option, and that led him to realize that his feelings for Kurt were more than just loving him like a friend. That is just my interpretation though. I think that one of the writers said something about having Kurt realize that Blaine wasn't perfect so that he could fall in love with the real Blaine and not this perfect Blaine from when they first met, which is part of the reason why the

I don't think Blaine intentionally makes Kurt feel bad about himself but the fact is that he has...repeatedly. And I never saw an initial attraction from Blaine. The majority of the time they spent together he treated Kurt like a pet or a child, which I find hilarious now that we've found out that Blaine is a year younger. I do really think he wanted to help Kurt, but the longer the season went on the more I kept being reminded of the fact that he shouldn't be 'mentoring' anyone because he has a lot he needs to learn himself. If Kurt is more confident I think that's because he did that, not Blaine. I stick by what I said at the beginning. And on top of that, last season after Kurt met Blaine I pretty much couldn't stand their scenes. Watching Kurt moon over someone for the better part of a year and seem...well....kind of desperate wasn't cute or romantic to me. It felt like Finn 2.0, except this time it was with someone who was actually gay. And at least with Finn, there were a lot of good comedic moments at the beginning. With Blaine

[roganrules]

Just because he is a grade younger doesn't necessarily mean that he is a year younger. My headcanon is that he had to miss school after the Sadie Hawkins dance beating so he is behind a year in school. Until the show says otherwise, I am keeping with that headcanon. :) We can agree to disagree about the initial attraction, but I see it when he is singing "Teenage Dream" and the way he looks at Kurt while singing it. I think that when he found out about Kurt's situation that he saw himself in Kurt from when he himself was getting beat up and bullied for being gay so that is why he tried to "mentor" him. I actually think that they ended up helping each other with confidence and getting over being bullied. Blaine going to prom and switching to McKinley were things he wouldn't have been able to do before (choose to go back to a situation where he would probably be bullied). The Finn thing actually bothered me in season 1 because Kurt knew that Finn was straight and still kept going after him, which got to a point where it wasn't
