AN: Another chapter of random sillyness. It's very goofy. Very. Readers beware of the goofy, fluffy content.
If Blaine thought July was hot, nothing could prepare him for August. There were heat warnings all the time and the air was so thick that some days, you could barely breathe.
Blaine loved Kurt but he really didn't want to go over to Kurt's today. It was too hot and humid and his hair was doing funny things. Plus, Blaine knew how Kurt got in the heat. No matter how adorable it was, it was just too hot for a needy and clingy Kurt.
But Blaine promised he would go over and Blaine never could say no to Kurt. Reluctantly, Blaine made his way over to Kurt's.
Not for the first time, Blaine thanked God for air conditioning.
The ride to the Hummel-Hudson house wasn't as bad as Blaine expected. The car had cooled down to a comfortable temperature and Blaine and Kurt's favourite RENT CD was in the player. Maybe he and Kurt could just drive around in the car all day instead of actually going out and doing something.
Blaine saw no people walking outside. It was just too hot. Nobody wanted to go out and embrace the heat. Blaine didn't see anybody—until he reached the Hummels.
There was Kurt, curled up into a ball, sitting on the stoop. As soon as Blaine pulled into the driveway, Kurt lifted his head and uncurled his body.
What the hell is he doing outside?
"What the hell are you doing outside?" Blaine asked, stepping out of his cool car into an oven.
Kurt mumbled something as Blaine walked over. "Hm?"
"Dad kicked me out." Kurt flopped back, lying on his back, legs hanging over the steps. Blaine sat down beside him.
"And why would he do that?" Blaine calmly asked, as he rubbed Kurt's sweat-soaked hair off his face. Blaine was curious—it wasn't like Burt to just throw his son out, especially on such a hot day.
"He said I was hogging the air conditioner," Kurt mumbled, pressing Blaine's hand to his cheek and sighing.
"Were you?"
"No! I was just sitting in front of it, then lying on top of it."
"Honey, that's hogging."
"No it's not! Then he said I was whining too much! I'm not whining!" Kurt whined. Blaine bit his lip, trying to suppress a laugh. Kurt was just being too damn adorable.
"You're making fun of me!" Kurt accused, sitting up and facing his boyfriend, wide-eyed. Blaine couldn't tell if Kurt was actually insulted or if his face was full of mock-anger.
"I'm not, I'm not!" Blaine tried not to laugh but he couldn't help it.
"You are!" Kurt looked horrified as he stood up. "My own boyfriend!"
"I'm not, I promise!" Blaine replied, getting up as well.
"Then what do you call that?" Kurt waved a hand at Blaine.
"Giggling at your adorableness." Kurt blinked, then threw himself at Blaine. Blaine stumbled back and wrapped his arms around Kurt.
"It's sooo hot," Kurt moaned into Blaine.
"I know, I know," Blaine soothed, kissing Kurt's ear. Kurt rubbed Blaine's back and Blaine continued kissing Kurt. They stood like that for a while, before Blaine had to pull Kurt off of him. Kurt whined but he understood—it was too hot.
"Hey, I have an idea!" said Blaine, suddenly gaining a sudden bough of enthusiasm. "Why don't we go inside your house where it's not 100 degrees?"
"No, Finn's in there."
"So?" Blaine asked, very confused. Kurt had never had a problem with Finn before. Well, except for that one time he walked in on them.
"Finn smells like smelly boys." Kurt wrinkled his nose. "And Dad and him will be hogging the air now and so the whole house will smell." Blaine laughed.
"Well, how about… we go to the beach?" Kurt raised an eyebrow.
"The beach?"
"Yea! It'll be fun! We can go swimming and build a sandcastle and-" Kurt cut Blaine off with a groan. "What?"
"It's too hot! The sand will burn my feet and the sun will burn my skin and you'll have a lobster for a boyfriend. You wouldn't want that."
"I don't know. I've always had a thing for lobsters…" Kurt gave Blaine the look.
"Plus, there's people. I don't like people. They ruin my kisses." Blaine had to agree with that one.
"What about… a pool?"
"Once again, people. And little kids that like to pee in water that only gets cleaned once every millennium." Blaine didn't argue. He wasn't a big fan of local pools himself.
"Alright, why don't you get your stuff and we can head over to my house. I'm sure we can think of something there." Kurt blinked at Blaine. They rarely went over to Blaine's house. It wasn't like there was anything wrong with it, it was just more comfortable at Kurt's. Everyone accepted Blaine and Kurt there and gave them their privacy. At Blaine's house… it was different. It wasn't like Blaine and Kurt weren't accepted, they were, it was just that the Anderson's weren't quite sure yet how to deal with it. Kurt could still tell that Mr. Anderson just thought of Kurt as a 'teenage experiment' and didn't expect them to last long but Blaine and Kurt both knew otherwise.
"You sure?" whispered Kurt, staring deep into Blaine's hazel eyes. The heat was making him tired and he just wanted to curl up and cuddle with Blaine.
"Yea. Come on, let's go." Blaine grabbed Kurt's soft hand and opened the door. Blaine greeted Finn and Burt who were, sure enough, huddled around the air. Blaine and Kurt rushed up to Kurt's room, where Kurt packed a bag in record time. They then proceeded to leave the house and went into Blaine's car, which had already warmed up a considerable amount. Blaine turned on the air and both boys sighed in relief.
The car ride was surprisingly great. Kurt cheered up a considerable amount and even ended up belting out "Take Me or Leave Me" with Blaine (Kurt took Idina's part, obviously). Once they had reached Blaine's house, neither one of them wanted to move.
Blaine turned off the engine and faced Kurt. "Well, we're here."
"Yep."
"So… shall we go inside?"
Kurt sighed. "Do we have to?"
"Unless you come up with something better…"
Kurt heaved an overly dramatic sigh and got out of the car. Blaine heard Kurt groan as the heat hit him and Blaine followed suite. Kurt grabbed Blaine's hand and they walked up to Blaine's porch.
"It's locked," Blaine said as he tried to open the door.
"Well then get your key and unlock it," Kurt simply said. Blaine rummaged around his pockets, trying to find this key. "Hurry up, it's so damn hot!" Kurt whined.
"Shit, shit shit shit!" Blaine muttered. "I don't have my key." Kurt gave Blaine his classic bitch face and Blaine smiled apologetically. "C'mon, let's try the back."
As they made their way through the shade into the backyard, Blaine came up with a wonderful idea. Childish and crazy, but wonderful nonetheless.
Surely enough, the back door was unlocked. Blaine opened it and sent Kurt to get changed into his bathing suit. Kurt gave Blaine and confused look, but didn't object. Blaine did the same.
As Kurt came flouncing down the stairs in his bathing suit, Blaine was pretty sure his jaw hit the floor. It has nothing extravagant, just a plain white tight sleeveless shirt, with brightly coloured swim trunks, flip flops, huge sunglasses and an oversized sun hat, but it was Kurt and Kurt made everything look amazing. Kurt was giving Blaine a funny look and he grinned.
"Blaine, honey, if you're going to stare, could you please at least make it less obvious?"
"No," Blaine shortly replied.
Kurt walked over and pressed a quick kiss to Blaine's lips. "You're not looking so bad yourself." Kurt traced a finger along Blaine's exposed chest. "Did you know you're hair does funny things in the heat?" Kurt reached up and pulled at one of Blaine's short curls.
"Ugh, don't remind me."
"I think it's adorable." Kurt leaned forward and pressed his lips against Blaine's again. Blaine smiled against Kurt's lips.
"C'mon," Blaine muttered, lips still attached to Kurt's. He began slowly pulling Kurt out the door.
"Wait! I need my sunscreen!" Kurt screeched running back to his bag. Blaine rolled his eyes, but he couldn't help but admit how cute he thought it was.
After liberally applying sunscreen, and convincing Blaine to do the same, Kurt announced it was time to go outside. However, as soon as they left the coolness of the house, he started whining again.
"Bla-aine!"
"Shhh, Kurt. Don't worry. I have a plan." It wasn't a lie, Blaine did have an idea of what they could do, however, he wasn't sure how thrilled Kurt would be by the proposal.
"Close your eyes," Blaine demanded. Kurt put his hands on his hips but reluctantly obeyed.
"At this rate, you are not going to see me shirtless," Kurt muttered. Blaine grinned and headed to the shed.
"Aha!" He cried as he found exactly what he was looking for. It had been years since he had used it and he was rather glad they still had it. "No peeking!" He cried to Kurt as he started to set up their backyard adventure.
"Can I look now?" Kurt curiously asked after several minutes of not-so-patiently waiting. Blaine couldn't help but notice that Kurt had stop whining.
"Almost done." Blaine set up the very last bit and turned on the hose. Kurt screamed and his eyes flew open as water hit his torso.
Kurt's jaw dropped when he saw what Blaine had done. He had literally set up the whole backyard into a mini water park. There was a sprinkler, which was flailing around and was what had gotten Kurt wet, a slip-and-slide, another smaller sprinkler and…
"A kiddie pool? Honestly, Blaine?" Blaine smiled and offered his hand to Kurt.
"If I may?" Kurt rolled his eyes as he accepted Blaine's hand.
"Now, in order to get to the beautiful pool of eternal love, you first have to slide through the tunnel of doom and beat the sparkling, spitting llamas. Are you ready, my lady?" Blaine bowed and Kurt couldn't help but laugh.
"You're an idiot." Blaine smiled and pulled Kurt towards the first 'obstacle'.
Kurt had never been a big fan of slip-and-slides. In fact, they kind of scared him. Running at full speed than falling down on a piece of fabric did not sound like fun. It just sounded dangerous.
But it was Blaine and Blaine wanted him to slide on it with him so what was he to do?
"You ready?" Blaine asked, as they slowly backed away. Kurt had his arms wrapped around Blaine's shoulders. Kurt threw off his hat and sunglasses.
"Mhm."
"Okay? Let's GOOOO!" Blaine started running full speed, pulling Kurt along. Kurt screamed. Blaine let his legs fall out from underneath him as he hit the slide. Kurt toppled on top of his boyfriend, continuing to scream as they slid down it. Blaine was laughing like a maniac.
When they finally stopped, Kurt realized he was clinging on to Blaine. And still screaming. He quickly stopped.
"Scared?" Blaine raised an eyebrow and tried to control his laughter.
"Shuddup," Kurt muttered, attempting to get up, only to fall on top of Blaine again. Blaine laughed harder. "I hate you."
"Oh, come on! You are the damsel in distress and I'm your knight in shinning armor!"
"More like tattered armor."
Kurt and Blaine slowly got up, carefully trying not to fall. As soon as Kurt stood up, he pushed Blaine down. Blaine looked up at him with puppy dog eyes and a shocked expression on his face before they both burst into giggles.
"Now, onto the next obstacle! The defeat of the evil llamas!" Blaine declared as soon as he had gotten up. He led Kurt over to the first sprinkler. It was one of the ones that had arms that flung around, spraying water everywhere. "Alright, Kurt, my darling, we have to sneak by this guy without getting spit on. The spit is extremely toxic."
"That's impossible!" Kurt cried, and it did appear to be so.
"Fear not, my princess, I will protect you!" Blaine puffed out his chest and approached the sprinkler. "Follow me!"
Kurt walked cautiously up behind Blaine, finding himself consumed in Blaine's game. Kurt placed his hands on Blaine's biceps and they slowly made their way towards the sprinkler. Suddenly, one of the sprinklers hands whipped towards the two of them.
"Aagh!" Kurt screamed as water hit him.
"My lady! Fear not!" Blaine ran forwards and jumped on the sprinkler, attacking it and forcing it to the ground, soaking himself in the process. Blaine attempted to yank out the hose, but was having difficulties.
"Erm, Kurt? You mind helping me here?"
Kurt laughed but headed over. "I thought you were protecting me, your lady?"
"Well… sometimes even knights require assistance, from their kick-ass princess."
"Can't argue with that." Kurt reached over and easily removed the hose. Blaine sheepishly grinned.
"Onward!" He cried, puffing out his chest and ignoring the whole incident with the hose. They carefully approached the next sprinkler. This one was a more common lawn sprinkler, spraying water from side to side. "Alright, beautiful. We need to jump past this one. It should be much easier, however we absolutely CANNOT get hit with water this time. We will die if we do, and I'm pretty sure neither one of us want that to happen."
Blaine started forward to the sprinkler but Kurt stopped him. "Here, let me go first."
"But-but-but, my lady! Are you sure?" Kurt gave Blaine a 'Blaine-honestly-do-you-think-you-will-be-able-to-do-this-better-than-me?' look and Blaine backed off. "Of course, you know best."
Kurt approached the sprinkler, Blaine close behind him. Blaine was grinning from ear to ear, glad Kurt was getting so into this game. Blaine knew he would—Kurt might not admit it, but he loved when Blaine got all goofy and they did stuff like this together.
Kurt gave a cry and ran towards the sprinkler, ducking under the water and squealing as he ran closer and closer to the 'llama', jumping and ducking trying to avoid getting hit. Suddenly, he dived towards the sprinkler and easily pulled the hose out. He held it up and smiled triumphantly at Blaine.
Blaine returned the grin and strode over. "Who knew my princess was such a badass?"
"You did, good sir." Blaine leaned forward for a kiss, but Kurt sprayed him in the face with the hose. "You must ask before you kiss the princess, Sir Blaine."
"Really, Kurt?"
"No." Kurt pulled Blaine towards him and gently kissed him.
Blaine pulled away, causing Kurt to let out a whine. "My lady, do you know what this means?"
"No, my dashing knight!" Kurt replied, clearly still amused.
"We have made it! We have made it to the pool of eternal love!" Blaine jumped up and attempted to clack his heels. "My lady, let us go!" Blaine grabbed Kurt's hand and they skipped across the lawn towards the kiddie pool.
They reached the pool and Kurt noticed how small it really was. There was no way, no way both of them could fit into it.
But did you honestly think that would stop Blaine?
Blaine stepped into the pool and gave Kurt a childish grin. "Come on, my lady! Do you not want our love to be everlasting?"
"Blaine, is a swim in a kiddie pool really going to make it so?" Kurt skeptically asked.
"Of course. Do you doubt it's magical abilities? Now, enter the pool. Don't be scared. I'm right here." Kurt rolled his eyes but entered the pool. "Ready?" Blaine asked, eyes gleaming. "One, two, three!" Blaine jumped down, landing on his ass in the pool and pulling Kurt down with him. Kurt shrieked with glee, but he wouldn't tell Blaine that's what it was.
Kurt and Blaine were sitting in a now empty pool. When they had jumped down, all the water had splashed out. Blaine took one look around, looked at Kurt and they burst into laughter.
"It-it looks like we soaked up all the love!" Blaine declared between his laughs.
"No, it looks like our love was too much!" Kurt gasped.
"We broke the pool of eternal love!"
Once Blaine and Kurt finally calmed down, the looked around the yard at the mess they had made. The grass was flooded in several spots and there were toys everywhere. They were both soaked, and Kurt's white shirt was sticking to his chest, rendering it rather useless, so he threw it off. Blaine couldn't help but stare.
"You're so damn beautiful," Blaine said.
"I won't be soon, when I turn into a lobster," Kurt replied. "We've been outside too long. I'm turning pink."
"A little sun never hurt anyone," Blaine muttered, leaning forward and pressing his lips to Kurt's neck.
"That's what they all say before they develop skin cancer and die," Kurt said, leaning his neck into Blaine. "Besides, I'm still so hot."
"You're telling me," Blaine muttered in return.
Blaine made his down Kurt's neck to his chest, kissing all the way. Blaine did admit, it was getting really hot again, now that there was nothing to distract him. While Blaine didn't mind a whinny Kurt, he found it kind of cute, he preferred the fun, goofy Kurt or the sexy Kurt (that Kurt was still convinced didn't exist).
Kurt gasped as Blaine kissed above his nipple and pulled Blaine off of him. Blaine let out a tiny whine and looked up at Kurt with a questioning stare.
"Good Sir, that is no way to treat a lady!" Blaine blinked, and a slow smile spread across his face.
"Since when have you been a lady?" Kurt stage gasped.
"I cannot believe what I am hearing! From my very own knight and secret lover!"
"From the sounds you make, it won't be a secret for very long." Kurt snorted and tried to repress a laugh.
"I'm the loud one?"
"You sure are one bitchy princess." Blaine ignored Kurt previous comment and smiled mischievously at him.
"And you sure as hell are one not-so-dazzling knight. More like a stable boy."
The boys took one look at each other and after a beat, burst into laughter. Maybe it was the heat, maybe it was the shear idea of what they were talking about, but for one reason or another, they could not stop laughing. Kurt leaned against Blaine and Blaine could feel Kurt rising and lowering with each laugh. It was then, at that very moment, Blaine realized something.
This is all Blaine wanted. This is all he wanted forever. Just him and Kurt, being silly, being sexy, being serious, being together. Just him and Kurt, laughing their way through life. Together. Forever.
AN: AAAAAND there you have it. I'm kinda proud of this, not gunna lie.
I may or may not write another chapter. It may or may not involve a shower scene. It may or may not provide the 'sticky' part of the title (OH, WHAT A HORRIBLE JOKE! I AM THE WORST). What do you think?
Reviews are always welcome!
