Prologue/Chapter One: The Problem

Blaine's arms were wrapped around Kurt's neck, Kurt's arms wrapped around Blaine's waist. They were both standing, inches of space between the two of them. Their lips were together, just as they had been for the last five minutes. Slowly, Blain let his arms slip from around his boyfriend's neck and go lower, hands still together.

They got past Kurt's shoulders, Kurt only squirming slightly to get his arms in to a more comfortable position. They reached lower, hitting the small of Kurt's back.

Kurt backed up, pulling his arms off of Blaine's waist and breaking Blaine's arms apart so they were no longer holding on to him. "Blaine... what are you doing?" He frowned slightly.

"I was trying to wrap my arms around your hips," Blaine answered like it was the most obvious thing in the world. He rose an eyebrow at his boyfriend's antics. "Something wrong?"

Kurt shook his head. "No," he lied. He gave the other boy a smooth smile before walking up to him and putting his lips right in front of Blaine's. "Kiss me."

More than happy to follow the command, Blaine tipped his mouth forwards and kissed his boyfriend. His arms started around Kurt's neck like they had before, Kurt's slightly higher than the hips. Like before, Blaine let his arms slowly travel downwards. This time when they landed on the small of Kurt's back, Kurt stiffened slightly but ignored them otherwise. Blaine took it as a cue to go on. His hands released each other and found a spot on either side of Kurt's hips.

The kissing got slightly heated. Blaine left Kurt's mouth and kissed his jaw lightly twice before returning to his mouth. Kurt pulled away and nuzzled his nose between Blaine's hair and his ear. He stayed there for a few seconds before finding Blaine's lips again.

Blaine decided to get daring. He'd never seen Kurt act so free before when they were kissing. Blaine deepened the kiss, hoping it would cause Kurt not to notice what he was about to do until it was too late. Cautiously, he let his right thumb push the fabric of Kurt's shirt up lightly. He let the same thumb slide underneath the fabric. With no response from Kurt about the act, he let his cautiousness leave him as he pressed the thumb in to his boyfriend's skin.

It seemed like he couldn't have gotten a worse reaction. Kurt leapt backwards, falling over a shoe as he did so and landing on his butt. Blaine's eyes widened.

"Kurt... are you alright?"

No response.

"Kurt?"

Still no response.

"Kurt, is something wrong?"

A sniffle. A nod.

"Want to tell me?"

Kurt shook his head.

"Please talk to me, Kurt."

"Can... can you leave?"

Blaine rose an eyebrow. That was not the reply that he was hoping to get from his boyfriend. "...Leave?"

Kurt nodded. "Please. And shut the door on your way out."

The curly haired boy gave a curious look to the boy on the ground. "Are you sure, Kurt? We could just talk."

Kurt shook his head once again. "Please leave."

Blaine gave a defeated sigh and nodded. "I'll call you tonight, alright?" he offered with a small smile. The other boy merely nodded.

As he started his car after leaving the Hummel house, he only had one thing on his mind: he had to find a way to get Kurt to talk to him about why he repelled all things sexual. On the phone that night, they avoided the topic of what happened that day completely, choosing instead to make plans for the next day - They were going to go to the Hummel house once again, this time to watch romantic comedies and try out a new recipe that Kurt had found. Blaine was going to be the cooperative taste tester. They were going to work things out with whatever happened to Kurt, too, though Blaine didn't tell Kurt of that part of the plan. No. Telling him that part of the plan would only scare him away more and that was the last thing that he wanted at that point.

Blaine couldn't help but secretly dread what might happen tomorrow.
