"It's pretty cold out here, don't you think?" Blaine huffed, blowing hot air on his gloves and rubbing them together, attempting to make them warmer.
"I'm not the one wanting to go out to build a snowman." A tall brunette laughed, rolling a ball of snow for the head.
"I think you're right. Staying inside would've been the right thing to do. Hot chocolate, biscuits, the Christmas special. Simple, clean and oh so warm." Blaine says thoughtfully, closing one eye as he looked up to the snow still falling slowly.
"I'm always right," Kurt chuckled, placing a perfect snow ball atop of the two perfectly rounded, bigger snow balls, "I'm almost done. No thanks to your help."
Kurt bent down to scoop up more snow to securely place the head.
"Sorry." Blaine muttered, shivering uncontrollably, grabbing a bucket filled with buttons, a roll of black ribbon and a nicely shaped carrot, snow melting off the tip.
"It's alright. Just help me put on the decorations. I'm doing the suit though." Kurt says, shaking his head as he saw Blaine shivering, "Hurry, or you'll freeze to death."
Blaine broke into a smile as he started to put up the nose and eyes using carrots and buttons as Kurt lined the blazer piping on the snowman with the black ribbon.
"Here, let me add the buttons." Blaine offered, holding several buttons in his hands.
"Please." Kurt smiled, moving out of the way as Blaine bent down to place the buttons neatly along the blazer piping.
"The-there," Blaine shivered, getting up as he wrapped his arms around himself.
Kurt rolled eyes as he opened his thick winter jacket, using on hand to gesture Blaine's hands, "Give them here."
"What?" Blaine asks, confused as he slowly brings his hands forward.
Kurt grabbed his Blaine's hands placed them on his clothed chest, instantly warming them up, "Better?"
Blaine nodded sheepishly, trying to fight off a blush as Kurt just casually put his hands on his chest.
They waited a moment in the snow, his hands still on Kurt as he started babbling about a winter sale down in Lima's mall, oblivious to Blaine's face warming up increasingly.
"Now, you're warmed enough." Kurt smiled, pulling out Blaine's hands from his warm body and zipping up his jacket.
Blaine cursed himself that he missed the warmth already, fighting the urge to just grab Kurt and kiss him already.
"Let's go in," Kurt grinned, "come on."
Blaine took this opportunity to grab Kurt's hand to pull him into their house. Bursting with happiness when Kurt didn't flinch when he took his hand.
They ran inside their quaint house, rubbing the snow off their boots on their front mat.
"Let me," Kurt smiled, pulling off Blaine's jacket as well as his own, hanging them up on the clothes rack.
"You have got to stop doing this, I've got to take off your coat for change," Blaine frowned, shaking his head at Kurt's act of kindness, "I already told you, buying this house for us doesn't make you owe anything to me, you work and so do I. We're able to keep this house because of our hard work. Now, before you protest, I'm making the hot chocolate and warming the biscuits."
Kurt pouted as he hugged Blaine, whispering in his ear, "Thanks. You're the best."
"No problem, now sit for a while, I'll get them." Blaine laughed, heart racing when Kurt hugged him.
Blaine made his way to the kitchen, eyes glancing towards the living room for a brief second. He was relieved that Kurt had made himself comfortable and was stretching his limbs on the couch, not fussing over the dripping water from their coats.
He poured some milk from fridge into a saucepan, heating it up on the stove. As he let it heat, he walked back to the fridge taking out dark chocolate, whipped cream, cocoa powder and a chocolate wafer. He broke off the dark chocolate and dropped it into the saucepan with the milk when it was hot enough and stirred with a wooden spoon for a while.
He also took out a can of assorted baked goods that Kurt had filled to the brim since he loved baking. He grabbed a few tasty looking ones and placed them in the toaster making sure it was on medium heat.
While waiting, he prepared two mugs and poured the chocolate powder in. Then he wore his dinosaur kitchen gloves to carefully turn off the stove, taking the saucepan in the process. He continued to pour the milk that turned a little brown from the melted chocolate previously, into the identical white mugs.
He smiled in relief when he poured all the milk into the mug without spilling. He then removed his gloves and placed them on the counter and started stirring his thoroughly. Making sure Kurt's had a few lumps since he loved it that way.
Then he added the whipped cream on both the mugs, sticking the chocolate wafers into the cold cream. After doing so, he placed back the gloves as he took the crackers from the toaster and placed them on a small plate. He smiled at his work as he placed everything on a serving tray, hobbling a little as he approached Kurt.
"I'm done!" He called out, making his way to the coffee table and placed it in front of Kurt, "Not bad huh?"
Kurt's eyes lit up as he saw the food, "These look so good! I love you so much right now."
"Aww, it was nothing." Blaine smiled down at Kurt, trying to ignore what Kurt just said as he sat beside Kurt, pulling the blanket from Kurt's clutches as they both squirmed, trying to get into a comfortable position and grabbed their own mugs.
"Blanket whore." Kurt laughed fondly, snuggling closer to Blaine to get more of the blanket as they watched the yearly Christmas special on their old tv, thanking whatever being out there that their tv actually worked when it was snowing this time.
After a while, Blaine sneaked a glance at Kurt when he wasn't looking.
He sighed internally as he looked towards the boy beside him, anyone looking that beautiful should be illegal.
His hair was a little wet from the melting snow and his cheeks, flushed. His long lashes were very visible and so were his eyes, the colors were swirling and infinite. He watched Kurt laugh a little at the program which didn't go unnoticed by Blaine. His eyes twinkled and barely visible crinkles appeared by his eyes.
"One, when," Blaine sighs, thinking to himself, "When can I tell him I adore him?"
Blaine found himself smiling slightly just by watching Kurt do something that took no effort. It was just him. It's funny how the little things could make him feel so happy.
"What's so amusing?" Kurt says suddenly, turning towards Blaine, knocking him out of his daydream.
"Nothing, nothing." Blaine smiled reassuringly.
And with that Kurt, shot Blaine a funny look and continued to watch the program groaning when they announced that it would be ending in a few minutes.
He loved that boy so much it mentally pains him, but he could never get what he wants because he knows that his sickness will always hold him back. No one knew except his family and he liked to keep it that way. He's accepted his condition and doesn't need anyone feeling bad for him, especially Kurt. So now, he'll wait till his time comes to an end. And he'll be alright with everything because he knows he spent every day of his last days with this wonderful boy.
His life would still be complete because he met Kurt Hummel.
