A/N | Disclaimer: Inspiration/Lyrics/Title from 'You Were Always the One' by Patrick Park.
I highly doubt there will be very much canon occurring throughout this, but on the off chance you read something familiar, then that's probably where I got my idea/inspiration. The only things I claim to be my own, are my writing/ideas. I - unfortunately - don't own the show, or the characters, or anything else like that.
Feedback/Reviews would be greatly appreciated.

And I don't understand why I play these games,
and I trade the truth for lies.
'Cause you're always the one I was looking for, babe,
It just took time to realize.

Blaine Anderson was not the 'dating type'. He'd been on dates, sure, but they never usually lead anywhere other than the bedroom.
All Blaine wanted was someone to fool around with. Long term commitments held no appeal for him.

Kurt Hummel, on the other hand, was Blaine's exact opposite. He was exactly the 'dating type'. He liked romance, and dreamed of being wooed by Mr. Right.
But Kurt was also madly in love with Blaine, and because of that, he was willing to do anything for him, even if it meant risking his own heart.

For a gay teenage boy living in Ohio, finding love isn't an easy task. At least, finding requited love isn't, as Kurt Hummel discovered on more than one occasion.

First there was Finn, his now stepbrother.
Finn had been the first person to ever make Kurt feel… incredible, simply by existing. But Kurt had gotten a tad s talker-ish, and shortly after Finn and his mom moved in with Kurt and his dad - as, thanks to Kurt, the two's widowed parents had started dating, and eventually married -, the two came to blows, but luckily they moved past it, and now, being just brothers is good enough for Kurt.

Then there was Sam, but that wasn't really love. More, curiosity, on Kurt's part, because there was no way that a straight guy could have hair that was naturally that blonde. But he was with Quinn now anyway, although according to Mercedes – who heard it from Rachel, naturally, – he'd been putting lemon juice in his hair.

And then came Blaine.

Blaine had essentially been Kurt's saviour.
He'd given him courage during his dark times at McKinley - despite the fact that Kurt was still chased out by a homophobic jock – and then went on to be a great friend at Dalton. Kurt would probably even go as far as saying they were best friends. You know the type, the ones that, based on a first impression, you would most likely assume that they were dating.

Kurt wished they were dating.

He wished Blaine knew what every prolonged look, every touch that lingered for a moment too long, and every flirty duet they sung together, was doing to him. But Blaine was clueless, and more importantly, he didn't care anyway.

Blaine Anderson wouldn't call his life perfect, in fact, it was anything but Dalton, Blaine had spent his life running away from bullies, and even his own father – although he'd never admit it outright – had issues with his son's sexuality.

But his life certainly had its good points, and ever since he had been welcomed into the 'zero tolerance harassment policy' of Dalton Academy, he'd discovered more and more of these good points. He was happy at Dalton, for starters, he had an escape from his claustrophobic home life for 60% of the year, but he was also the lead in glee club, he had good friends, although most recently he'd been spending more and more time with just one of them, Kurt. Who had recently transferred to Dalton for the same reason's Blaine had a few years previous. They were close, that couldn't be ignored, at times, Blaine even found himself jealous of Kurt's undeniably compassionate personality. Sometimes he wished he could just be Kurt. But in the end, he settled for just being best friends.

But if Blaine was being honest, the one thing in his life that couldn't have been better was his love life. Although, he wouldn't really call it a love life, it was more of just a… sex life, really.
Blaine wasn't really the 'relationship' type. He was much happier just fooling around with some guy he barely knew, and so far, they – surprisingly – hadn't been hard to come by. Occasionally he'd find himself staring at a familiar face, the gay population of Ohio wasn't endless, and Blaine was well aware of that, as – minus a few exceptions, most of which were people he knew, as he tried to stay away from Dalton students, they didn't need to know what he was really like – he'd figured he had worked his way through the majority of them by now, although he had every intention of continuing until he'd been through them all, even if that meant showing another side of himself to those at Dalton.

The thing about Blaine was, he had two sides to his personality. The sweet, sensitive, caring – although sometimes a little cocky – side, which usually made its appearance during school hours, or when he was around friends and family. And then there was the other part, the uncaring part, that rarely ever saw the sun, – apart from briefly on those warm summer nights – the part of him that was desperate for nothing other that lustful nights.

It was the darkest part of Blaine's personality, and sometimes, it did things that surprised even him. But not once had he shied from it, in fact, the moment he discovered it, he embraced it with open arms. Sometimes, he even felt like that was the 'real him'.

Kurt was completely aware that this side of Blaine existed. In fact, to his knowledge, he was the only person that knew, – but he wasn't sure whether to be flattered by Blaine's honesty or not – although Blaine never went into great detail, but honestly, Kurt was thankful for that. He didn't need to hear all the gory details.
Kurt didn't necessarily agree with that part of Blaine, in fact, he hated that part of Blaine, most of the time he just pretended it didn't exist, which, for the most part was easy, as he had never met that side of him, but that didn't stop him from worrying about him when he knew he was out prowling the streets at night. But Kurt cared too much for Blaine to ever let his true feelings surface, because it worried him that if he did, he might never see Blaine again.
