So you spent your summer in the rain..
There was something about the chilly summer rain on late nights that always sparked an indescribable warmth in Kurt's heart. On nights when Blaine was away, he'd sit in the windowsill and open it so only the thin screen was there to protect him from the harsh, frigid rain. The frozen droplets would stain his arms and pajamas in a numbing, yet refreshing embrace. Kurt loved the cold, because as much as it enveloped you, took over your life, warmth would always welcome you back.
On the other hand, when Blaine was at home with him where he belonged, Kurt would give himself up to the unpredictable, intense cold. He knew Blaine would be that warmth that welcomed him back.
Driving up the coast I felt the same
Well, tonight was one of those nights. Kurt dragged him out into the open storm, dressed in only a tee and sweats, while Blaine went out prepared.
"Love, you'll catch a cold only wearing this," Blaine protested, gently tugging at the soft fabric of his black shirt.
"I know you'll make sure that I don't." Kurt replied, before he flashed him a mischievous smile, slipped on his black converses and stepped outside.
He wasn't expected to be hit by a breeze of stinging, cold air right away as he instinctively wrapped his arms around himself. Blaine gave him a concerned look, reaching out to wrap his arms around Kurt's shoulders. Kurt wouldn't give up that easily, though. He hopped down the steps of the porch before stopping in the soaked grass. His shoes flooded with piercing cold water, but he stood his ground, eyes shifting to look at Blaine, silently telling him to follow. Blaine stared at him for a few seconds in confusion before sighing in defeat and walking over to stand in front of the slightly taller man.
Cover me in grey until I saw you..
"May I have this dance?" Kurt whispered, lifting his arms to wrap tightly around Blaine's broad shoulders. He immediately felt the other man slither his arms around him, one coming up to wrap around his shoulders, the other resting on his lower back, drawing him in closer. Kurt buried his face in the wet crook of Blaine's neck, breathing in his scent.
Just another day until I saw you.
"Yes," Blaine breathed, hugging Kurt's body so close that he could hardly breathe. "you may."
They stood like that for awhile, gently swaying on their feet, letting the rain be the music to their soul. After some time Blaine had noticed Kurt was shivering in his arms, so he pulled back for a minute to shrug his thick coat off before wrapping it around the shaking man. Kurt looked up at him and gave him a small smile of gratitude as they pulled each other in close once again.
Seconds, minutes, hours, or days could have passed, and they would be completely unaware. Tightly clinging onto each other in the middle of a storm with eyes closed, they had finally found their center.
Sometime during early morning Blaine had convinced Kurt to come back inside with him, as the other man was practically sleeping in his embrace. They took a warm shower together before they each sat in bed with a cup of hot chocolate. Kurt yawned and went to rest his head on the younger man's shoulder, when he suddenly heard him sneeze. Kurt smiled and took each of their cups and set them on the table beside their bed. He reached over to switch the lamp off, then turned back to Blaine, not surprised to see he was already lying down beneath the covers, fast asleep. Kurt smiled to himself again as he sneaked beneath the blankets as well, moving to spread himself over the younger man in attempt to warm him.
He knew Blaine would protect him from the cold. He always did.
Half asleep, Kurt started mumbling the lyrics to a song.
"It doesn't matter if the stars forget us
It doesn't matter if the world don't know our names
It doesn't matter if they walk about us
It doesn't matter cause
We are in
We are in love"
That night, they dreamed of a place of warmth together, a place where they didn't have to worry. A place where all they knew was each other.
Ahh! So this is actually the first fic I've ever written and I'm actually pretty content with it! I've been having writer's block with another story I'm writing so I thought I'd whip this up to help me get going :) I hope you enjoyed! Feedback would be greatly appreciated!
Oh, and the lyrics throughout this are from the song We are in Love by Cider Sky. :)
