Three Times The Hummel Verse

Bets of Seduction

"Kurt, can I just say, that I don't think you and Blaine are very intimate with each other." Carson said as he stabbed another marshmallow with a stick.

It was the day after their high school graduation, and to celebrate, the family decided to hold a small party in the backyard. All of the glee club members had arrived and it was getting dark quickly. A small fire had been made to roast marshmallows and eat s'mores. Carson, Chris and Kurt were all sharing a bench while they ate when Carson brought his opinion to attention.

"Well I don't feel that is any of your concern anyway." Kurt responded back annoyed.

"You know, he may have a point Kurt. I mean, I don't think I've ever even seen you two kiss, and you've been dating for a year and a half now." Chris added. Kurt looked back and forth between his two brothers and then glanced across the yard to Blaine, who was talking to Finn, Mike and Artie.

"Again, that's none of your business." Kurt replied defensively. "But if you must know for whatever reason you're interested, he and I don't like PDA. So yes, we don't suck each other's faces off around you guys, or anyone really."

There was silence for a few moments between them, then Chris spoke up, smiling. "So you guys suck each other's faces off when you're alone?"

Kurt knew he was only teasing, but he became more agitated when Carson burst out laughing. "Awe, nice Chris!" He said, trying to regain his breathing.

"You two are horrible." Kurt said as he attempted to get up and walk away. Carson grabbed his arm, stopping him as he stood up.

"I'm sorry bro. But hey, listen. Want to have some fun? Let's make a bet." Kurt tipped his head in curiosity, encouraging Carson to continue. "I'll give you twenty bucks if you go over there and plant one on him."

"Oh yes!" Chris shouted, drawing the attention of some of their friends around them. "But no, that's too easy. What if he tried to seduce him?" He said more quietly.

"That's more like it!" Carson said, not giving Kurt a say in the manner. "Kurt, if you go over there and seduce Blaine, and then plant a good long kiss on him before the sun fully sets, I'll give you twenty dollars. You guys can go out to eat or something."

Kurt remained silent for a few seconds. He knew he didn't have to do this, and there was no shame in ignoring them. But for some reason, Kurt was generally interest in seeing what would happen. The money was certainly tempting, and the idea of taking Blaine out to eat was enticing. "Ok." Kurt said as he pulled his arm free of Carson's grasp.

The two boys still sitting glanced at each other in shock. They hadn't imagined he would even consider doing it. Kurt was so closed off that they had given up on him showing emotion years ago. They were excited to see what would happen.

Kurt walked away from his brothers without another word. He didn't head straight over to Blaine at first, but instead went to grab a soda and stopped to talk to Rachel. He was ever conscious of the sun sitting just above the horizon, and with that in mind, he walked over to his boyfriend.

Blaine was still talking to Finn, Artie and Mike. When Kurt got closer he discovered they were talking sports. When he reached the trio, Blaine turned and smiled at him before returning to the conversation. He waited a moment, so it wouldn't seem like he was pulling Blaine away from his friends, and then subtly touched his hand to the small of Blaine's back.

Blaine turned back to him with a confused look on his face. Meanwhile, the three boys with them continued talking as if nothing had changed, and for them, nothing had. But both Kurt and Blaine felt the atmosphere shift slightly, just with a single touch. Kurt gave Blaine a small smile in return, as if to portray nothing was wrong. He didn't move his hand away.
