Hello everyone! I am much more proud of this chapter than the last but I just think it's because Blaine and Kurt are too cute in this chapter. Warning IT'S SO FLUFFY! If you don't go aww, then you probably are the same type of person who hates fluffy little kitties and puppies :-p (j/k)
I don't own Glee...Disney still owns my soul.
Enjoy :)
The boys made their way to their seats, Blaine leading the way with his carryon in front of him in his left hand, his right hand loosely intertwined with Kurt's. Kurt couldn't help but think how this was just like the time he had first met Blaine, that day he was spying on the Warblers. How Blaine had reached out for Kurt's hand and they ran through those gorgeous halls of Dalton. A gorgeous school with a gorgeous boy.
They reached their row as Blaine stuffed his carryon in the overhead compartment, then reached for Kurt's, carefully storing it next to his. He motioned for Kurt to get in first, giving him the window seat.
They plopped down in their seats as Blaine stretched out his legs in the little room he did have.
Kurt, however was practically sweating. He closed his eyes and gripped the armrests as hard as he could. Blaine would have to be blind not to notice.
"Baby, are you ok?" He asked, his voice filled with concern.
"Never been on a plane." Kurt said quickly between breaths. Not daring to open his eyes or release his grip. He felt Blaine loosen one of his hands from the seat and cup both his hands around it.
"It's going to be ok, Kurt. I'm right here."
Kurt could think of nothing but how Blaine probably thought he was such a loser for getting so scared. And they hadn't even left the ground yet. Eyes still closed, he flinched a little when he felt Blaine's hand begin to caress his back. It was slow and rhythmic. Blaine definitely knew how to calm Kurt down. He was doing everything he'd used in the past to soothe Kurt's anxiousness except... there was a sudden stream of cool air touching Kurt's cheek. Now Blaine was doing everything to calm him down. Taking a deep breath, Kurt blinked his eyes open. He turned his head slowly to his left. Blaine's eyes were still closed and he still thought he was blowing air onto Kurt's cheek. Kurt smiled and leaned over so their foreheads were touching.
Blaine opened his eyes in surprise. "Better?" he asked in a whisper.
"Much." Kurt kissed his forehead. "Thank you."
"It's a quick flight. Under 3 hours." Blaine assured.
Kurt took another deep breath.
"Hey, you know what just occurred to me? We just tackled one of your firsts. And in a few hours, we'll do another one."
Kurt gave him a look reminiscent of What you talkin' 'bout Willis?
Blaine laughed. "Going to Disney World, silly."
Kurt let out a nervous laugh. "Right. That's what I was thinking too."
Blaine was still holding onto Kurt's hand. "So I'm going to let you know now that your ears will probably pop when we get up in the air. So the trick to relieving that is to yawn. And I'm in no way saying this to make you nervous, but if you do feel like you're going to be sick, there's airsick bags in the pocket in front of you."
"Thanks, but I should be alright." Kurt leaned his head back against his headrest, keeping his eyes closed. "Just as long as you keep doing that thing you do to calm me down."
"Oh you mean this?" Blaine began to blow cool air on the side of Kurt's face again. He got closer with each breath. Kurt's eyelashes fluttered with each stream. Then he planted a soft kiss on his cheek.
"How do I deserve someone as wonderful as you?" Kurt asked, panting slightly. His heart pounding as he felt Blaine's stubble graze his face.
"I ask myself that same question about you every day." One of the flight attendants closed the cabin door and the plane began to taxi. Kurt squirmed a little in his seat. "It's ok. Everything is going to be fine." A male flight attendant passed by their aisle and Blaine grabbed his attention. "Excuse me, I know we're supposed to wait until we're in the air but do you think you could get us a water?"
The flight attendant scanned Blaine's appearance, then looked over at the hyperventilating boy whose hand Blaine was clutching. "Absolutely!" he said, in a very fake and cheerful manner.
"Well clearly he's gay." Blaine joked when the attendant was out of earshot. He sighed as he looked back over at Kurt. Gently, he showered Kurt's hand with kisses. "It's ok, baby. I'm right here." He squeezed his hand tighter to establish that he wasn't going anywhere.
"Ahem." Blaine shifted his attention to the attendant back at his side with the bottle of water. He had a displeased look on his face.
"Thank you." Blaine smiled at the attendant, hoping that he wouldn't spit in his drink later on.
It seemed to please the attendant since his response was, "anything for you, sugar."
Blaine rolled his eyes when he left. "That guy is so not my type." Blaine was doing everything he could to soothe Kurt's nerves. It didn't help that the attendants were now going into their safety spiel. "Try going to sleep. That way you miss the whole flight," he suggested.
"No thank you. I'd like to see my impending death if it happens." Kurt said frankly, his eyes still closed.
"How are you going to see it if you keep your eyes closed the whole time?" Blaine laughed.
Kurt shot him a look of death. It was the first time he had really opened his eyes in a few minutes. "That's not funny."
The fasten seat-belts sign came on and the attendants took their seats.
"Sorry! Sorry! Just trying to lighten up the situation here." The plane lifted in the air and Kurt squirmed even more. Blaine thought a minute about what to say. "Baby I promise, you are a thousand times safer here in the air with me than you are on the ground." Kurt didn't respond but kept his eyes closed. "I know what will make you feel better." Blaine smirked a little, then got closer to the side of Kurt's face. He began to sing into Kurt's ear, just audible enough so that only Kurt could hear it. His voice was just above a whisper, yet the notes danced off of the tip of Blaine's tongue as clearly as if he was singing at the top of his lungs. Kurt's breathing became steady as he listened to the older boy croon him the soft song.
You're in my arms
And all the world is calm
The music playing on for only two
So close together
And when I'm with you
So close to feeling alive
Kurt let a small smile appear on his face. Blaine was pleased, he was doing his job.
A life goes by
Romantic dreams must die
So I bid mine goodbye and never knew
So close was waiting, waiting here with you
And now forever I know
All that I want is to hold you
So close
He clutched Kurt's hand tighter with both hands.
So close to reaching that famous happy ending
Almost believing this one's not pretend
And now you're beside me and look how far we've come
So far, we are, so close
How could I face the faceless days
If I should lose you now?
He released one of his hands and let it brush Kurt's smooth face.
We're so close
To reaching that famous happy ending
Almost believing this one's not pretend
Let's go on dreaming for we know we are
So close
So close
And still so far
Blaine finished singing with a purr. His thumb caressing Kurt's chin. Kurt opened his eyes. A tear managed to escape from one of his eyes. Kurt blinked uncomfortably, trying to hide it but it was too late. Blaine smiled, then used his thumb to wipe away the tear.
Now completely calm, Kurt laid his head on Blaine's shoulder. "So where are we staying?"
"Nope, not telling you. It's a surprise. But trust me, you're going to love it."
"You are such a tease. Ok then, can you tell me more about what Disney is like?" Kurt was fiddling with the fringe on his favorite Marc Jabobs scarf.
He reminded Blaine of a child-but in a good way. He couldn't wait to see his face when he brought him to the Magic Kingdom for the first time.
"Well," he started, "The fireworks in all of the parks are amazing. And we have to see the parades too. Especially the one at the Magic Kingdom."
"Are we going to meet Mickey?"
"No we're too old for that." Blaine said seriously.
Kurt sat bolt upright, staring at Blaine as if he had just told him that he hated Julie Andrews.
"I'm just kidding! Of course we're going to meet Mickey. And Minnie, and Peter Pan, and the princesses too."
Kurt laid his head back down on Blaine's shoulder. "What else?"
"We have to do all of the mountains. Splash, Space, and Thunder. Oh and my favorite ride, The Tower of Terror! And the Animal Kingdom has these two shows that I know will make you cry."
"You want me to cry?" Kurt asked, indignantly.
Blaine laughed. "Well you're just so cute when you do! But it's ok, they will be tears due to amazement and happiness."
"What else?"
Blaine sighed. "I think you'll just have to wait and see for yourself."
So what did you think? Tell me! Tell me! Tell me! Oh I hope you enjoyed this chapter as much as I did! I have an idea of what I want to do with the next chapter but I haven't started it yet.
