So, this is the first thing I've ever uploaded on FanFiction! I put a lot of time and thought into it and in whole, it is three parts long. I really love this story and hopefully I've done these wonderful characters justice! I hope that you enjoy this idea I had one day when bored and thinking about Klaine! :)
This is AU and it takes place in the summer of 2011, school just got out, Kurt's junior year ended. Blaine is the same age as him and he is still a Warbler.
Reviews would be splendid :)
(I apologize for any inaccuracies. I have never traveled out of country.)

"The Exca-Venture"
"Hey, Carole, Kurt, Finn! Everyone! Where are you?" Burt called, bursting into his house's front door. Finn appeared in the doorway going to the living room with a perplexed look on his face. Carole came in from the kitchen.
"Oh, hi honey," she greeted with a smile.
"Where's Kurt?" he asked excitedly.
"In his room," Carole answered, confused at his giddiness. Burt ran to the bottom of the staircase and yelled up.
"Kurt?"
Kurt was currently propped against his headboard on his bed, talking to Blaine on the phone.
"Hold on a second, my Dad is calling me," he told Blaine. Kurt covered the receiver of the phone. "Yeah, Dad?"
"Would 'ya come down here a sec!" Burt called.
"Okay!" Kurt called, a little annoyed. "Blaine? I'm sorry could you hold on, my Dad wants me for something."
"Sure, no problem," Blaine replied cooly. Kurt quickly flounced down the stairs, phone receiver covered in hand. Kurt stopped when he saw their little congregation by the front door.
"What's going on?" Kurt asked. To see his Dad's face lit up and his step mother and step brother's equally confused was not a common sight.
"Today, I was finally able to give myself a bonus!" Burt said excitedly.
"Oh, that's great Dad," Kurt said.
"Now wait, I'm not done," Burt continued. He held up a check. The other three leaned forward to squint at the small writing.
"Two thousand dollars!" Finn stated, his eyes big.
"Oh my…," Carole said examining the check.
"Dad, oh my goodness!-What?" Kurt said.
"Yup, two thousand dollars, and this summer, with the money we've saved up and this… we're going to Hawaii!" Burt revealed.
"What? Are you kidding me? Oh my gosh, Dad, get out! Hawaii! That means oceans!" Kurt spluttered.
"Oceans…," Finn said mesmerized, his face priceless.
"Honey! Oh my gosh! I-! Goodness!" Carole stammered. At that moment there was loud clamoring of various noises from their excitement and the family took turns hugging Burt, Kurt first, his hand had slipped away from the receiver. The family then took turns hugging each other when a muffled, tinny yelling started coming from the phone, barely heard.
"Kurt! What's happening!-Kurt!" Blaine called through the phone. Kurt instantly heard his boyfriend's distressed tone calling him, able to pick it up anywhere.
"Oh, Blaine!" Kurt exclaimed. "Let me put you on speakerphone." Kurt hit a button. "My Dad got a bonus and he's taking us to Hawaii this summer!" Kurt all but exploded.
"Really? Oh, Kurt, I'm so happy for you! For your family!" Blaine replied, genuinely happy, but there was a slight twinge of pain in his voice. It was hard for him to imagine being without Kurt for a majority of the summer, they had made plans to do so many things together...
Kurt instantly picked up on the off set color to his voice. The four awkwardly looked around at each other as Blaine fell silent on the line. "Blaine? Give me one more second, please? Don't-... Just, hold on…," Kurt said, covering the phone once again.
Kurt quickly contemplated something asking, "Dad... with the utmost respect and humbleness I can muster," Kurt began, "And- for my love of you and Carole and Finn… and for the wonders of the great state of Hawaii…." Burt eyed him suspiciously as he continued to talk uncharacteristically slowly. "Do you think maybe…. Blaine could come too?" Kurt said so quietly, it was almost unintelligible. He felt horrible for even asking, but he desperately did not want to leave Blaine alone. Burt's eyes widened, but he quickly calmed himself. His eyes met Carole's who was smiling, totally happy and intrigued with the idea. Burt then looked to Finn, who as usual, had a dazed and confused look on his face, but when Burt looked at him, one side of Finn's mouth raised in a prompting smile, nodding.
Burt exhaled and gave one last look around at each of his family members, Kurt chewing the side of his cheek, looking at him expectantly. He then gave a look to the phone Kurt was nervously clutching in his hand. Finally, he looked to the check and then back to Kurt. Burt looked extremely contemplative and seconds later, the look vanished. "Sure, why not," he said. Kurt's face instantly lit up, completely ecstatic.
"OH MY GOSH! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I love you so much, you have no idea!" Kurt squealed, hugging his Dad incredibly tightly.
"Kurt, you might want to ask Blaine first before you get too excited," Burt added pulling out of Kurt's death grip on his neck.
"Oh yes, of course!" Kurt said, placing the phone back to his ear, it was no longer on speakerphone. "Blaine?" Kurt said slowly. Carole, giddy with excitement, watched Kurt, her eyes shining. She had always thought his relationship with Blaine was one of the cutest things in the world.
"Yeah, I'm here," Blaine replied faithfully.
"Can I ask you a question?" Kurt asked, happiness shining through his voice.
"Of course," Blaine replied.
"How would you like it if I told you that if you wanted, only if you wanted… you can come to Hawaii with us too?" Kurt proposed mischievously.
"What?" Blaine said and Kurt broke out laughing, pure joy on his face.
"So… what do you think?" Kurt asked, really hoping for the outcome he had in mind. He held his elbow, waiting for Blaine to say something, his family anxiously watching him.
"I… am speechless!" Blaine burst. Kurt's smile widened. "I mean-Yes, of course I'd LOVE to! Babe, this is amazing!" Blaine continued to excite.
"Really, you want to come?" Kurt jumped daintily as he made sure what he heard was accurate.
"Absolutely!… Are you sure it's okay for me to tag along?" Blaine questioned.
"Yes, my family's standing right here. I mean, it was my idea, I couldn't bear to leave you alone…" Kurt quickly dropped that thought, not wanting to get to mushy in front of his parents,"… but my Dad was more than welcome to let you come!" Kurt winked at his Dad.
"Can I talk to him?" Blaine asked, wanting to thank him personally.
"Yeah, here he is…" Kurt handed the phone to his father.
Carole leaned in to Kurt and whispered excitedly, "What did he say?"
"He said yes!" Kurt returned in a loud whisper. Carole's mouth dropped open in surprise and she hugged Kurt tightly. They remained silent so Burt and Blaine could converse, Carole's arm rested around Kurt's shoulders.
"Hi, Blaine," Burt greeted.
"Mr. Hummel, I-"
"Please, it's Burt," Kurt's father corrected.
"Okay, uh Burt…." Blaine said trying to get used to calling him by his first name. "I want to thank you for letting me come on your family's trip. Are you sure I won't be invading your family time?"
"Naw, we'll be happy to have you! We can all get to know each other better, it'll be good to have you along… It'll be good for Kurt, too. I don't know if he could go that long without…" Kurt glared at Burt in disbelief, "Never mind. So you know, I'm gonna book the tickets to leave this Saturday and I guess your cost for the trip will be paid in full."
"This is amazing! Unbelievable, thank you so much. I am in your debt," Blaine thanked hole heartedly.
"Ah, you're welcome. This trip is already promising a good time. Have a nice night, alright Blaine?" Burt told the over gracious boy on the other end.
"Yes, sir," Blaine said respectfully.
"I'm gonna hand you back to Kurt. Take care."
"Yes, sir. Have a nice night," Blaine said, trying to sound professional, but he was so joyful it was proving to be incredibly difficult.
Burt handed the phone back to Kurt who had the most loving, thankful look in his eye that it was hard for Burt to even try to keep a straight face. He broke down and hugged Kurt a final time. When they released, Burt patted him on the shoulder dismissively, but affectionately as well.
Kurt, then, for no apparent reason, hugged Finn, having to stand on his toes to properly wrap his arms around his neck. When they released, Finn looked, yet again, confused at this random display of affection, but knowing Kurt, who liked to hug, Finn just smiled at him lovingly. Kurt then quickly hugged Carole and flew back up the stairs to make new plans with Blaine for Hawaii!
It was Saturday morning and Kurt awoke to a quiet knock at his door. His eyes fluttered open. "Come in," he said, pleasantly groggy. The door opened slowly.
"Good morning," Carole said smiling. Kurt stretched. "Just making sure you were awake, we're leaving early this morning."
"Oh, okay," Kurt replied sleepily when he realized what was going to happen today. They were leaving for Hawaii.
He instantly pushed himself up to a sitting position and grabbed his phone, which was on his bedside table. He tapped, "New Text message," and typed, "Good morning -K," with a heart sign, which was the first thing he did in his morning ritual.
Still clutching his phone, he stood and walked quickly to the bathroom. While making his way there, in the hallway, Finn poked his head out his bedroom door. "Hey, man," he said, in a thick fog.
"Good morning!" Kurt said, ruffling Finn's hair as he passed him. Finn blinked and disappeared back in his room, of course, confused. Kurt entered the bathroom and quietly shut the door. His phone softly vibrated in his warm hand.
A new text message said, "Good morning :) -B," with two hearts. Kurt smiled to himself.
"I miss u...-K," Kurt texted back (also with a heart). He fussed with his numerous hair and facial products in the bathroom when another soft vibrate alerted him.
"I miss u more, my Prom Queen -B," the next message said with a heart at the end.
Kurt chuckled and texted, "Today is the day… R u ready?-K."
When he was somewhat satisfied with his appearance for now, he returned to his room, for he had already showered the night before. He rummaged through his closet and was once again, alerted by his phone.
"Ready for what? To spend my summer on a tropical island with you? I can hardly wait!-B." Kurt didn't know how many times he had imagined, in the last couple days, finally getting to Hawaii and doing so with Blaine on his arm. This was a thought he had yet to face the reality of and today, it was actually going to happen.
The morning had gone as well as can be expected, although there was some slight, frantic hurrying minutes before they left. All four family members were currently in the car, going to pick up Blaine from his house. Their car had three rows of seats. Burt and Carole were in the driver and passenger's seats. Kurt was in the seat immediately behind Carole, and Finn was in the very back, immediately behind Kurt. His knees were crushed into the back of the seat and he was to say the least, uncomfortable, but it was pretty automatic that Blaine and Kurt would sit together, so he couldn't argue.
Kurt was anxious. Blaine was coming on their family's vacation. This is either going to be awkward or really nice. Blaine got along with his family well, so hopefully it wouldn't be too awkward. They'd have to save all their romantic gestures for when no one was around, which was hard for Kurt to imagine when that would be. Or... maybe not. He was trying to figure out how far both go them would be willing to go in front of his family.
Kurt was also anxious because he hadn't seen Blaine in several days, with all the preparation for the trip. Yes, they had talked. Yes, they had Skyped, but that was never like actually seeing him and being together. And they were going to be together a lot.
The car pulled up to Blaine's house. "I'll go get him," Kurt said, practically jumping out of the car.
"K," his Dad replied, checking airline tickets as Carole looked at various pamphlets.
Kurt went to the door and knocked quietly, three times. He stood idly for a few seconds and then the door opened, he was caught around the waist, and quickly pulled inside, the door shut behind him.
Finn straightened up in his seat, confused at what just happened. Did Kurt just disappear?
Shortly, he figured out what had truly happened and luckily, he was the only one that saw. He returned to his slouched position, trying to look like he didn't see anything. Kurt didn't know it, but Finn had always kept quiet about the things he may or may not see happen between him and Blaine. He promised himself he would always do that out of respect for his brother after he walked in on them once. On that occasion, they didn't even here him… they were too preoccupied.
But then, another time, it really wasn't his fault because they were in the kitchen and he was hungry, so he went to make a sandwich and he walked in on them having a "highly romantic moment." That one ended with Kurt looking stunned, Blaine looking flustered and Finn walking out in silence, horrified. They have never spoken about that, ever.
Blaine's hands were currently around Kurt's waist, pulling their hips together, along with their faces close. "Hi," he said with a smile. Kurt was completely dumbfound, being swept in so fast and now their bodies were touching and he was a breath away from his boyfriends lips.
"Hi," Kurt said, his IQ diminishing quickly. Blaine closed the gap between their lips and kissed him strongly. Their lips stayed together a long moment, breaking apart ever so slightly to get breaths of air. Blaine, hands still firmly around Kurt's waist, dipped him backwards over his knee as the passion heightened. After another long moment of that, Kurt's common sense got the better of him and he pulled away. "My family will worry," he said regrettably, getting somewhat lost in Blaine's dark hazel eyes. Blaine lifted him to his feet and took his hand in his own.
"Let's go," he said, grabbing his single duffel bag in his free hand. That was quite the hello! Kurt thought. When theatricality and romance mix, it's like magic to Kurt.
They went out Blaine's front door and Blaine had managed to lock it behind him without dropping Kurt's hand. They casually walked to the car, Kurt's face slightly flushed, his head lowered. He tagged along behind Blaine as he opened the back of the car to put his bag in.
"Mornin', Blaine!" Burt called to him.
"Good morning, sir!" Blaine called enthusiastically. The boys parted ways as Kurt returned to his seat and Blaine went around the other side. He climbed in the seat directly next to Kurt (of course! ), and buckled his seatbelt before slipping his hand back in Kurt's, who smiled.
Blaine craned his head around and nodded a hello to Finn, whose fog was thicker than ever. "Hey, man," was all Finn said in reply to his nod.
Carole turned around, beaming. "Hi, Blaine! Are you ready to go?" she asked.
"Yes, ma'am," Blaine said, giving Kurt a loving glance and patting his hand. Carole smiled at the boys and turned back around.
"We better shove off," Burt said, looking back over his shoulder to back out of the driveway. Kurt inhaled slowly and leaned his head against Blaine's which he then reciprocated by pulling away slightly to kiss Kurt's hair lightly. Kurt tensed at how affectionate he was getting and they settled for just leaning against each other.
Oh, great! Finn thought, Now I have to sit behind all their lovey-dovey-ness! He quickly turned his gaze out the window, so he felt like he was giving them some amount of "privacy."
Three hours later, they had boarded the plane and were safely, who knows how many feet up, over an ocean.
"K and B snuggling in front of me… It's making me miss you… -F"
Finn, having just sent off a text, was sitting alone in a row of three seats. Kurt and Blaine were in front of him, sitting as close to each other as they could get, considering the restraints of the armrest (their heads leaned together, whispering and laughing). His parents were several seats back.
"They are? Cute! When u get the chance, tell them I said hi:) I miss u too… Are u almost there?-R" Finn smiled as he pictured Rachel. He leaned forward and tapped Kurt on the shoulder.
"Yes, Finn?" Kurt said icily, turning to look back at Finn. Blaine looking on patiently.
"Rachel says hi," Finn said.
"Hi to Rachel," Kurt said flatly, not really paying attention because he had already turned back around, refocusing on Blaine. Finn rolled his eyes and huffed back into the seat, running his hand through his hair.
"You doin okay, Finn?" Carole asked after hearing him huffing.
"I'm fine," Finn replied.
"Blaine? Kurt? You boys okay?" Carole questioned, actually just wanting to be nosy.
"Yeah," Kurt replied sarcastically, but in a nice way.
"How long till we touch down?" Finn asked, for Rachel's benefit, craning his neck to see his parents.
"It'll be about 2 hours," Burt replied.
"Okay," Finn said, turning back to his phone. "K says hi. We'll touch down in about 2 hours.-F" He sighed and looked out the window at the clear water below. The plane was fairly empty, a few people scattered here and there.
"Oh, well that's not too bad. Once u get there, u need to try and relax, u even sound uptight in your texts.-R" Finn could picture Rachel saying that, always worrying.
"Okay… I'm gonna try and take a nap right now… Love u:)-F," he text with a heart at the end. Finn leaned his head against the headrest and began to fall into sleep to the lull of the soft hum of the airplane, and the low tones of Blaine's voice.
"If I could ask everyone to please fasten their seat belts. We will be landing in 5 minutes," the pilot said over the intercom. Kurt giggled.
"He sounds like Tom Hanks!" he exclaimed in a too loud of whisper into Blaine's ear.
"Naw!" Blaine said teasingly.
"Yes! Don't you hear it?" Kurt said pleadingly.
"I guess, a little bit!" Blaine said, giving in. Kurt smiled and held his hand, looking out the window as the plane started to descend.
"There she is…," Kurt amazed quietly.
"Hawaii," Blaine finished, leaning in front of Kurt to look out the window, for he was in the seat closest to it.
"Wow…," Kurt murmured, "It's…."
"Stunning…"
"That, in a few short minutes, is gonna be ours… to do whatever we want…"
"That, to me, sounds absolutely amazing…" Blaine said, as Kurt closed his eyes, taking it all in.
The plane had just landed and the Hummel-Hudson's, with the addition of Blaine, were wandering around the airport, trying to find their bags and where they were supposed to go to get to their hotel. They really just wanted to go outside for the first time in Hawaii, but they had to get some sense of order. Kurt was nervously trying to figure things out so they could get somewhere.
"Okay,… Finn! You're strong, how about you go get the bags, which should be just down that way in the luggage area," Kurt said, as the whole family had gathered around the map of the airport. "And… the information center is that way…," Kurt said gesturing in a general direction. "So, that's where we should go to find a way out of here, get a car… or something. And… over there is the food court. Finn, you might want to stop there too-"
"Hey!" Finn exclaimed. Blaine snickered under his breath, watching Kurt as everything unfolded.
"Bathrooms there… and… the gift shop. So, Finn, you go, and maybe meet us at the information center!"
"Whoa, slow down there!" Burt said, grabbing Finn on the arm as he started to depart. "I think someone's a little excited!" Kurt blushed. "Finn, will you be able to find your way back if we split up?"
"Yeah, I think so," Finn said.
"And, can you carry all the bags by yourself?"
"Maybe… I guess I'll figure that out when I get there," Finn said, scratching his head.
"I can go with him," Blaine offered, looking to Burt expectantly.
"That might be a good idea, I think," Burt said. Blaine nodded, agreeing.
"Okay then. Meet you later?" Burt asked as him, Kurt, and Carole began to walk towards the direction Kurt had pointed.
"Will do," Finn said cheerily, departing with Blaine.
2 hours later, with a great deal of patience and a flurry of craziness, they had made it to their little tropical cottage where they would be staying for the rest of the summer. They all seemed to let out a sigh of relief as they walked in the door and dumped the bags.
"How cute is this?" Carole said, looking around. Kurt smiled excitedly, observing their new surroundings. The room was very clean and modern. The theme appeared to be white (which he most definitely agreed with). The room that they all were currently in appeared to be a kitchen/living room/bedroom. There were delicate, light colored paintings around the room that were of beautifully captured beach scenes. There was a bouquet of flowers in a bracket on the wall, another identical one on the opposite side. Quaint little furnishings all over the place.
"Yes, this'll do quite well," Kurt said happily, glancing back at Blaine.
"Where do you want me to put my bags, Mrs. H.?" Blaine asked.
"Well, Burt and I are staying in that room over there," she gestured to a door, "and Kurt and Finn are staying out here." Kurt cocked his head to the side and took a deep breath, annoyed, but settled himself, knowing his parents would never let him stay with Blaine and frankly, he didn't feel comfortable asking.
"And you are gonna stay in that room down the hall," Carole said, leading Blaine to the door and opening it for him.
"Thanks, Blaine said, disappearing into the room. Kurt soon trotted after him.
When Kurt entered, Blaine was setting his bag on the bed. His room was slightly different than the others. There was a king sized bed against the left wall, presumably in the center. There was a balcony looking out on the ocean, and it had appeared that he had already opened its doors. The comforter was white and the pillows were powder blue (which Kurt thought matched Blaine's complexion perfectly). The walls were a dusky gray, with elegant flowers in brackets on the wall. This room dazzled Kurt even more than the other one. He made a mental note to talk to the person who decorated these rooms.
"Look at your view!… And this room! It's all gorgeous!" Kurt said. Blaine looked up, startled at first, but then he smiled at the sight of his boyfriend.
"I couldn't have asked for anything better," Blaine said gesturing to the room and to Kurt, then looking away at the sunset. Kurt smiled.
"Tomorrow, we are going to do something together," Blaine said, now holding Kurt by the waist.
"Oh, really? What did you have in mind?" Kurt said mischievously.
"I think we should go on an "exca-venture," Blaine said decidedly. Kurt chortled.
"An "exca-venture," huh? Would you mind explaining to me what that might be?" Kurt asked, amused.
"It is, under my definition, an expedition and an adventure mixed. Which in truth, just means a date in Hawaii, with you," Blaine said.
"Blaine Anderson, I will gladly and most definitely go on an "exca-venture" with you," Kurt said, serious now, gazing at Blaine.
"Perfect," Blaine said and they both grinned.
Blaine wobbled slightly from the weight of Kurt on his back, but soon steadied himself. They were on the beach and Blaine had insisted on giving Kurt a piggy back ride, for some reason.
"Blaine! Slow down, please! How are you even carrying me?" Kurt said as Blaine toted him around the beach.
"Babe, you're not that heavy," Blaine replied walking towards the ocean determinedly.
"Where are we going? No, Blaine stop! I don't want to go in the water!" Kurt said, struggling as Blaine stepped into the surf, laughing.
"Blaine, seriously! I don't like water! I don't want to go in!" He was trying to break free of his hold, struggling further but if he escaped now, he would've fallen in the ocean. Blaine walked out farther, the water almost up to his waist.
"Blaine! Urgg!" Kurt couldn't stop him, he was too determined to get him in the water, which Kurt had been reluctant to do, but Blaine had tricked him, so now, he was literally being carried in. The water was up to Blaine's upper chest and he stopped, looking up at Kurt, whose eyes were big.
"What are you so afraid of, hun? I'm holding on to you, nothing's going to happen. Accidents mostly happen in the ocean when someone's nervous or doesn't know what they're doing. But I've got you, you need to relax," Blaine said comfortingly. Kurt took a deep breath and Blaine felt it through his body, Kurt's chest going up, then pressing against his back once again.
Kurt then re-situated himself so he was more comfortable. Instead of being on Blaine's back, he had moved so he was looking straight at him. His legs wrapped firmly around his waist and his arms loosely clasped around the back of his neck. Blaine had his hands on Kurt's bare back, holding him up.
"You're like a koala bear," Blaine teased, referring to their position, which was much like a koala bear hanging onto a branch.
Kurt smiled and leaned his head back in pleasure. Blaine moved quickly forward, seizing an open opportunity and kissed Kurt's neck.
Kurt was giggling adorably as Blaine smooched all down his neck, trying to cover every square inch. Although he couldn't help himself from laughing at Kurt's childish, adorable giggling. Kurt straightened back up and smiled down at Blaine.
"You, sir, are unpredictable! Just when I think I've got you somewhat figured out, you do something like this!" Kurt said as he looked around, as they held each other, floating in the ocean. It was scorchingly hot and the water was gorgeous.
"Don'tcha love me for that though?" Blaine said, amused at how much Kurt was enjoying himself compared to a few minutes earlier.
"I do," Kurt said in a lower tone, gazing at Blaine.
"Do you think you want to try and float on your own now?" Blaine asked.
"Yeah, sure," Kurt said looking down in the water, they had drifted out a ways.
"Okay, just relax. I'm going to show you how to tread, so you can stay afloat on your own." Blaine put his hands on Kurt's hips, to hold him properly and still be able to teach him.
"So, you're going to move your feet back and forth, like this. Keep your legs stiff and move them in a scissor-like motion. And you keep this up constantly. You probably need to do the same with your arms, since you're just learning, but when you're more experienced, you can just use your legs," Kurt kept his hands around Blaine's neck as he tried to copy what Blaine had been doing to keep them both afloat.
"Good," Blaine said supportively. "Now, if you can, do the the same with your arms." Kurt looked at him unbelievingly. "Just keep both your arms and legs going, I've got you." Kurt looked back down in the water, clearly concentrating. He began to tread, surprisingly well.
"Good! Alright, I think you've got it!" Blaine said, watching Kurt's arms and legs moving perfectly.
"So soon?" Kurt questioned worriedly.
"Yeah, you've got it down! Do you think I can let you go?" Blaine asked, wanting Kurt to be comfortable before making him do anything.
"I'd rather you didn't," Kurt said, unconfident.
"Oh, okay…" Blaine said.
"How about you hold my hand and I'll try it?" Kurt proposed.
"Sure," Blaine said, checking Kurt's eyes then preparing to let him go. "Are you ready?"
"Yeah," Kurt said. Blaine released his hands from Kurt's hips and placed one in his hand. Kurt floated flawlessly. Kurt smiled, surprised at himself and met Blaine's eyes.
"You… are amazing!" Blaine said, ecstatic. Kurt laughed. "You can officially, as of now, sustain yourself without drowning in a body of water," Blaine said and laughed.
"I liked it better when I depended on you if I drowned or not," Kurt replied, pretending to pout.
"Well, we can most certainly keep it that way," Blaine agreed, pulling him in once again and kissing him lightly.
Blaine and Kurt's "exca-venture" was going splendidly. After being in the ocean for a while, they had returned to the beach to relax.
They were currently laying in silence on their beach towel. The scorching sun beating down on their bare chests. They had just had just had a meal, picnic style, seeing as how much they both liked picnics. Their hands closest to each other, clasped and their outside hand folded up behind their heads. Blaine was sporting his signature pink rimmed sunglasses and Kurt had his own pair of black glasses on. They'd been sunbathing for quite sometime and were supposed to have consulted the family where they were.
"Hm!" they heard someone chuckle. Startled, they both raised their sunglasses at almost exactly the same time. "Enjoying yourselves?" Burt said amusedly, with one eyebrow raised. Kurt, with it only being his Dad, lowered his sunglasses, as Blaine did soon after. They continued to lay, hands now unclasped.
"Mmm-hmm…" Kurt murmured, intoxicated by the warm sun, not really paying attention to his father.
"You sure look it," Burt said, continued to be amused by them both. On a more serious note he said, "You know, you guys were supposed to check in with us quite some time ago."
"Sorry I didn't…" Kurt said in the same tone, still in his own world with Blaine.
"Just checking if you were alive. I'll leave you alone, but you need to be back soon, no rush though."
"Thanks, Dad," Kurt said dismissively. Burt then made his way back to the cottage through the path in the jungle.
Several minutes later, the boys still having laid in silence, Kurt spoke, "This sun… is fantastic…," he said, the sun making them almost drunk with pleasure.
"Mmmm…," Blaine agreed, shifting slightly. Kurt reached out to find some part of Blaine, searching like he was trying to find something in the dark, not wanting to move his head. He felt around until he felt skin -Blaine's chest- and laid his hand upon it, patting it several times, as if trying to get Blaine's attention.
"Blaine?… We need to go soon…" Kurt said, not really wanting to leave, trailing his fingers across Blaine's torso, making invisible patterns. Blaine exhaled wistfully.
"Is our "exca-venture" over then?" he said groggily.
"It's really just beginning. But, in all seriousness, we should head back, it's getting late," Kurt said, changing to a sitting position.
"Well when you put it that way… I will gladly escort you back to our tropical home and we will continue this little thing we've got going… When the ocean's not about to swallow us," Blaine said, shifting to a sitting position as well, as Kurt realized what Blaine just had. The tide had come up incredibly close, in fact, to the very edge of the blanket.
"Oh my gosh!" Kurt said, whipping off his sunglasses as the tide came in quicker and higher by the second.
"I think we should run," Blaine said urgently, taking off his sunglasses as well. Kurt nodded and they both jumped up, Kurt shoving everything in a large tote bag.
"Go! Now!" Kurt said as Blaine grabbed his hand and they ran towards the jungle. Blaine laughing at themselves. After they reached the inside of the jungle, they slowed down to a stop to catch their breath.
"That was close!" Blaine exclaimed.
"Oh, yeah?" Kurt said challenging him, and took off running up the path to the cottage. Blaine laughed and ran off after him.
Blaine caught up quickly and tapped Kurt on the shoulder as he passed him. Kurt scoffed and pushed on to catch up.
He caught up with Blaine and shoved him lightly to throw him off course. "Hey!" Blaine exclaimed as he stumbled slightly, still equal in pace.
He shoved Kurt as well and Kurt almost crashed. "That's not fair, I have my hands full, you rotten Warbler!" Kurt exclaimed. Blaine laughed. They were about halfway back. Kurt, thinking they had some contest going, shoved Blaine once more.
Blaine was thrown off course, he tripped on something and fell, rolling to catch himself.
"Ha!" Kurt called out, slowing his pace slightly, to make sure he was okay.
Blaine stood and brushed himself off, exclaiming defensively, saying something like, "Hey!"
Kurt, seeing he was okay, pushed on.
Minutes later, Kurt had reached the edge of the jungle and stopped, the house in view. He heard Blaine crashing through the plants as he shortly exited the jungle as well. He was breathing heavily.
"You okay, babe?" Kurt asked, amused. Blaine trudged up to him, oddly slow.
"I guess I'll be okay after what you put me through!" Blaine said, pretending to be angry. Kurt chuckled, took his hand and patted it. He pulled him forward as they walked the short distance to the cottage.
"I'm sorry you couldn't keep up," Kurt said jokingly.
"I could've if you hadn't pushed me!" Blaine said, trying to preserve his pride. Kurt leaned his head on Blaine's shoulder, trying to charm him.
"And yet, I still love you more," Blaine said lovingly. Kurt hummed as they closed the gap to the house and went in to rejoin his family.
The rest of the night went along happily as the family enjoyed each other's company and eventually departed for sleep.
The next morning, Kurt, having awoken early, knocked lightly at Blaine's door. "Blaine? Can I come in?" he said quietly. There was no answer. "Blaine?" Kurt said perplexed. "Blaine, I'm coming in now," he said, opening the door slowly and peeking in. He saw a lump, turned on it's side on the bed, covered in the clean, white blankets. He smiled as he creeped up to the side of the bed with Blaine's back facing him. Kurt touched his shoulder lightly. "Blaine? It's time to wake up," Kurt said, amused. Still silence.
A few moments later, Kurt's eyebrows furrowed and he went around to the side of the bed where Blaine was facing. His face was partially covered by a sheet. "Blaine?" he called one more time. He moved the sheet away from his face and to his shock, Blaine was laying motionless, his face completely white and covered in sweat.
"Blaine!" Kurt gasped horrified. "Blaine! What's the matter?" Kurt said, shaking him delicately. No movement. His breathing short and ragged. "Babe? Wake up! Wake up! Oh my G*d! Help! Someone! Help me, please!" Kurt backed away from the bed, terrified. "Help!" Kurt screamed as his Dad burst through the door.
