Chapter Three? Hell yes! I really hope you're still enjoying this, I know I seem to be updating this a lot, but it's because I've really gotten into writing this story and I'm excited about where it's heading. The next couple of chapters focus on Blaine and Kurt living as a couple and Rachels life separate from them.

I hope you enjoy x

They had been working in Kurt's room for most of the day, but it was finally done and out of the way. Rachel was now getting ready to head out to her rehearsal, Blaine was in the lounge re-vitalising himself, and Kurt was in his bedroom adding the 'finishing touches'. Blaine was strictly forbidden to enter until Kurt called him. Whilst Blaine was sitting alone in the lounge, Rachel entered hunting for her car keys.

"Well, I'm heading out to rehearsals now," she smiled, as Blaine picked them up out of the key bowl next to the door, she took them off him and sat down next to him for a few minutes.

"Are you and Kurt still planning on going out?" she asked him, Blaine shrugged and glanced in the direction of Kurt's room.

"I think so, that's if Kurt ever comes out of there. Any idea what he's doing?" he asked, Rachel shrugged and stood up.

"It's a mystery, but whatever it is, I'm sure it'll be worth it. See you later."

"Have a good rehearsal Rachel," she smiled sweetly at him and headed towards the door.

"You two have fun tonight!" Rachel shouted loudly enough for Kurt hear, before shutting the door behind her and leaving Blaine sitting alone once again. He sighed loudly as he looked around the empty room, this place still didn't feel like his, he felt like a guest, so when no one was around he felt a little uncomfortable. He was just about to make his way to Kurt's room and sneakily find out what he was doing, when Kurt appeared in the doorway in front of him.

"You're not by any chance, sneaking around, trying to see what I'm doing are you?" Kurt asked, a smirk appearing on his face, Blaine laughed and pulled his boyfriend closer towards him.

"Me? Sneaking around? Never!" he laughed, kissing Kurt gently, "I'm simply intrigued, what are you doing in there?"

Kurt smiled and took Blaine by the hand and led him towards the bedroom.

"Close your eyes," Kurt told him, holding his own hands in front of Blaine's eyes.

"Well, I can't exactly see with your hands in the way anyway," Blaine laughed as Kurt continued to guide him towards the room.

"Now keep them closed," Kurt ordered as he gently removed his own hands and walked away from Blaine and switched the light on.

"Okay, open your eyes," Blaine slowly opened his eyes and let them adjust to the light, before noticing a thin piece of spring hung across the width of the room. It was similar to a homemade washing line, but instead of clothes pegged to it; there were photos, hundreds of them. The box that they had been in lay empty on the bed.

"Kurt, this is incredible," Blaine said, moving further into the room to take a closer look. Kurt was pleased with his handiwork, and extremely pleased that Blaine liked it.

"You're amazing," Blaine told him, turning away from the photos and back to his boyfriend, before stepping forward to kiss him.

"No, you're amazing," Kurt countered, returning the kiss.

"I really don't know what I'd do without you," Blaine told him as the kiss came to an end.

"Well I'm not going anywhere,"

Rachel was exhausted, physically exhausted. They'd been rehearsing the same scene for the three hours and it was really beginning to take a strain on her. It didn't help that her leading man, Jacob, was a complete jerk, and that the director couldn't make his mind up of what he wanted to see in the scene. The cast were on a five minute break and Rachel was making the most of it.

"Hey Rachel," she smiled as her friend; Tina approached her, water in hand.

"Hello Tina," Tina sat down next to her and began rubbing her feet, Rachel laughed and Tina rolled her eyes.

"I don't know how you do it Rachel, my feet are killing me, yet you still manage to look graceful on stage." Rachel simply shrugged and took another sip from her water bottle.

"I just try not to think about it," she glanced across the stage to see Jacob walking towards her, Rachel groaned inwardly and Tina glanced around to see what was the matter.

"So Rachel, I'm taking you out tonight, we'll have a few drinks, I'll show you the best night of your life, make sure you change first though okay," he walked off without giving Rachel an opportunity to retort. Tina rolled her eyes as she watched Jacob strut across the stage, Rachel shuddered and tried to block Jacob from her thoughts.

"I see Jacob is still the same jerk he's always been." She commented.

"You wouldn't believe it," Rachel commented. Rachel and Tina had been friends since they had both been accepted into Juilliard, almost twelve months ago, they'd both come from Lima, Ohio, yet they'd never met, they'd bonded over this and been good friends ever since. Jacob, now in his second year, had always lived in New York, and believed he was a better person because of this. He'd set his sights on Rachel during her first week at Juilliard and hadn't let them go since. Rachel had been thrilled when she'd been given the lead role, but she'd had her spirits dampened slightly when she'd found out that Jacob was to be her leading man, and that she'd have to work with him on a more regular basis.

"So anyway, how are things between you and Mike?" Rachel asked, trying to change the subject, it was bad enough working with Jacob; she really didn't want to spend her break time talking about him as well. Tina's face lit up at the sound of her boyfriend's name. Tina and Mike had dated throughout High School, and Mike was studying dance at NYU.

"He's really busy, he has a show coming up to, so we hardly get to see each other these days, but I'm sure it'll be okay when school lets out and we get to spend the entire summer together," Rachel smiled, but kind of wished that she'd have picked something else to talk about with Tina. It was bad enough living with a loved up couple, without having to listen to her best friend talk about her boyfriend with such admiration.

"Okay everyone, break's over, let's get back to work. I want this scene finished before we finish tonight!" Rachel and Tina exchanged tired looks before getting to their feet and walking back to the stage.

Kurt and Blaine had spent a while looking at and talking about the photos that Kurt had put up, reminiscing about the past.

"I can't believe we didn't see it before," Blaine commented, lying back on the bed.

"See what?" Kurt asked, lying down with him.

"Us – being together," Blaine explained, "I mean, we've known each other for fourteen years, and not once did I think about us being together."

"I don't know, it just kind of happened didn't it?" Kurt smiled, rolling onto his side so he could face Blaine properly, "I'm glad it did though, aren't you?"

Blaine mimicked Kurt's actions, by lying on his side and grinned at him.

"Of course I'm glad," Blaine grinned, taking Kurt's hand and kissing it gently. The pair lay on the bed silently, both caught up in their own thoughts.

"Okay, still want to go out for something to eat?" Kurt asked, sitting up quickly.

"Sure," Blaine replied, sitting up, "And I know exactly where to go,"

"Well, it needs to be cheap and in walking distance." Kurt laughed,

"It's both of those," Blaine grinned standing up and holding out his hand, "Come on, let's go." Kurt took Blaine's hand and Blaine led him out of the apartment and into the street.

"So, where are we going?" Kurt asked as they walked through the streets of New York.

"It's a secret," Blaine smiled, "You'll have to wait and see."
