Relationships, while they were a dream, never seemed to last for him. While it seemed he always left on good terms with people he dated, it just seemed like they never lasted, or if they lasted for awhile, it never felt right. For some reason, he had expected the same from Blaine. He didn’t think their relationship would last that long, not at first. Not with their past connection or even past romantic connections, yet there he was, still dating Blaine and feeling more comfortable that he had ever been around a guy. “Yeah, they might be necessary. I mean, I could be okay with sticking my head under the tap and drinking but that might be awkward, not to mention, messy,” he teased.
Dave gladly took the glass and let himself be led to the living room. Blaine’s hands had always felt so nice on his, in his opinion. He could stay holding hands with Blaine for a long time. “Nah, don’t worry, I shook them off my trail when I got on the highway. I don’t think they’ll be finding me anytime soon, so I can spend as much time as we think we can handle,” he promised. Dave sipped on the water, enjoying the cool sensation down his throat. Looking down, he took the empty spot next to Blaine. “Let’s just turn something on? Like the tv? I kind of just want to you know, be close,” he shrugged. Dave paused for a moment. “I’d brave everything, hope you know that.”
“Honestly? That’s right where I want to be.” As soon as Dave settled in–Blaine scooted closer making a pitstop to grab the remote before he reached the perfect spot. Dave was incredibly comfortable to snuggle with and that’s exactly what Blaine did. After his loafers were kicked off, Blaine molded his body alongside Dave’s–bare feet tucked under a pillow at the end of the sofa. A press of a button turned the television on. Some random show was playing. It’d do because he didn’t plan on paying attention to it anyway. Funny how such a small pause could get his attention. Blaine looked at Dave quizzically as the remote wobbled in his hand. A small thud later–it was on the floor. –You’d brave anything?– “You would? For..me,” he asked in a quiet whisper. Hazel eyes softened as they searched Dave’s. “I–. Thank you.” Dave would get it. Wouldn’t he? That he didn’t mean to react so stupefied by such a small comment.
But it wasn’t very small to him. He needed to hear that. Too much doubt. Even though Dave only did everything in his power to make Blaine feel comfort, understanding and even cared for from moment one on? The road to shaking a self doubt that grew so deep in such a short amount of time was a long one. Blaine liked to think he was on the last stretch. Getting there. But he still had ‘his days’ that he tried to keep to himself because Dave didn’t need to hear about them all when he was trying so hard to be so.. “Amazing. You’re amazing, Dave Karofsky. Completely amazing,” he smiled letting his hand cup Dave’s cheek so he could graze the edge of his thumb across the bridge of Dave’s nose. Nudging him closer with a press of his fingertips, Blaine lifted up and pressed a kiss to the corner of his mouth. “I’d brave anything for you, too. You know that don’t you?”
