Prompt – Surprise! By Anon on tumblr.
"Sixty...five...pages," was the first thing that popped out of Kurt's mouth once Blaine had answered the phone with an enthusiastic 'Hey, love," all the while hoping to god that Kurt hadn't figured out what Blaine's surprise had been for him.
"Uh, what?"
There was a sound of rustling and then Kurt let out an exasperated sigh. "That paper I have to write on the opera I didn't see, as well as analyze the score for said opera, remember that assignment?"
Blaine hummed out an affirmative as he moved off of the path he had been on to cross the street. "Yeah, I remember. You were mad because your professor said that if you couldn't go see the opera, you had to write a paper on the opera."
"Well, I couldn't go to the stupid opera – there was a choir rehearsal that I couldn't miss, and so when I went to print out the score for the first part of the opera, it was sixty five pages. It cost me five dollars to do a homework assignment. FIVE DOLLARS, Blaine! I could have done two loads of laundry with that money!"
Blaine let out a loud laugh, which also blocked the sound of the cars passing him. Only, it wasn't loud enough to block out most of them.
"Are you out for a walk?"
"Uh, yeah."
"Wow, Blaine. You're out on a walk? Wow."
"Hey! I do take walks sometimes! Now, tell me about this assignment that was sixty five pages to print?"
"Oh god, Blaine! It's horrible! Beethoven just should not have written operas. They were horrible. The music isn't bad – it's Beethoven – but the play was just-"
He let Kurt ramble, because a rambling Kurt meant that his boyfriend wouldn't be paying attention to the sounds of the streets around Blaine. From the train station, it was a fifteen minute walk to the off campus apartment that Kurt was living in, which meant that in exactly twenty seconds, he'd be turning the corner to see where his boyfriend lived.
It hadn't been easy to convince his parents to let him go visit Kurt (to spend the week with him, actually) during his school break, but since Blaine had told them of his plans after he'd already bought the tickets to go, there really wasn't much they could do about it. He'd coordinated the trip with Kurt's roommate, who was a pretty nice guy. The roommate was taking off for the week to see his girlfriend, and the other two had ended up doing a two week project out of state, so he and Kurt would have the apartment to themselves. Which would end up being awesome, if Blaine had to admit to himself.
Kurt's apartment wasn't nice looking on the outside, but it had two bedrooms with double beds and a rather nice kitchen and living room. It was on the third level, so Blaine had to drag his bags up the staircase, but he knew that all of his hard effort would be worth it.
In his ear, Kurt was still rambling about the stupidity of his assignment. Unable to keep his grin from his face, Blaine interrupted him with ringing the doorbell.
"Oh, hold on, Blaine. There's someone at the door. I swear, if this is John's ex-girlfriend I swear I'm going to-" There was some stumbling, a curse, but then Blaine could hear the footsteps coming from both the phone and the apartment. "She just needs to know that when he said that they were done, they were do-"
It was at that point that Kurt had opened the door. His phone promtply fell from his hands as he stared, wide eyed at his boyfriend, who in turn hung up his phone, bent down to retrieve Kurt's phone, then stand up and place a soft kiss to Kurt's cheek. "Hey you," Blaine said softly, marveling at Kurt's open expression.
"Blaine?"
"That's me!" He exclaimed happily, dropping his bag and holding his arms out. "Surprise!"
"Oh my god," Kurt breathes out as he rushes forward, pulling Blaine into one of the best hugs in existence. "What are you doing here?"
"I heard from Kevin that you only have two classes this week, and McKinley is out for the next two weeks, so I'm moving in for the week," he said, pressing kisses up and down Kurt's neck. Wow, he'd missed this more than he'd thought.
"So that's why Kevin suddenly up and left?"
"I'd assume so. At least, that's what he told me."
He really did want to just stand there and hold Kurt, but it was winter and the wind was blowing, so when he let out a rather violent shiver, Kurt pulled away. "Let's get you inside, okay?"
Blaine bent down to grab his bags, then took Kurt's offered hand and allowed himself to be led inside. The apartment looked like it had the last time Blaine had visited, the only difference was the My Chemical Romance music that was blasting from Kurt's room. "You really were mad at that paper, huh?"
Kurt hummed next to him, then pulled Blaine's bag from his shoulder and gave his boyfriend a passionate kiss. "I'm not going to be working on my assignment anymore tonight. I have a boyfriend to love."
Blaine's grin as he was pulled into Kurt's bedroom was huge. This really had been one of his best ideas ever.
Author's notes: Kurt's assignment was inspired by an assignment that I had to do. I had to either go see the opera Fidelio or write a HUGE paper on it, as well as analyze the music score from the first half of the opera. I ended up seeing the opera – my friend couldn't, so when we went to the library to print out the score, it was sixty five pages long.
And it cost, like, ten dollars to print out. Boy, was I glad that I ended up seeing the opera!
Anyway, I'll get to the rest of the prompts soon (I have them all in a list :D) but real life has been killing me for a while. I hope that you enjoyed!
Lots of love,
UO
