HOLY CRAP! How crappy do I feel? How long has it been? 4 months? I"M SO SO SO SO SORRY! I completely understand if you all hate me! I hate myself right now for taking this long! Honestly, there is no excuse on my part but I'm going to try to make them anyway: I started my Junior year of high school in August and it has been very hectic; it's my most important year and hardest year of high school and I've had homework out my ass! I've been in school for three months and I've had homework all but 3 or 4 days. And right now I SHOULD be reading Wuthering Heights for my independent reading project for English, but I don't feel like it. ANYWAY, I've had school and I've been super busy (okay that's a lie, I have no life).
Honestly, I've been reading a lot of Klaine fanfics and wallowing in my feels over their break-up. As so many of you have probably been doing as well. After I posted in July, I kind of lost my muse for this story. I felt it was badly written and didn't have a decent storyline, so I stopped writing it. But today, I went through all of the amazing reviews and saw that people are STILL reading my story (and for that I thank each and every one of you). After I read the reviews, I felt horrible and kind of felt like you all deserved a chapter and realized that I've missed this story. Along with everything else keeping me from writing this, I've also started planning out AND writing another Klaine fanfic about Blaine being a firefighter and my babies falling in love, of course. I currently have 4 full chapters written along with half of chapter 5 and part of a future chapter including angst angst angst and sadness. I really like where I'm going with my other fic (which has yet to be named) but I'm already in love with writing it. I'm not sure when I'll be posting that. Hopefully soon. :)
Anyway, I hope you can all accept my sincerest apologies and love this chapter as much as I do.
Oh, and I know I said I was including their port in Dublin, but decided not to because I was too excited for this chapter... which is in Paris! Let the fluffiness ensue!
HAPPY READING AND I LOVE ALL OF YOU! (Reviews greatly appreciated ;) )
Disclaimer: No ownership for me. If I did, this bullshit Klaine break-up would have never happened. (Speaking of... It needs to be Dec. 13th already!)
Chapter Nine
"Rachel!" Kurt whispered, rolling over on his bed to face the girl who was probably still asleep. The room still sheathed in darkness other than the small amount of light seeping through the curtains that covered the sliding glass door to the deck. Kurt couldn't sleep. His mind had been racing, covering all of his options for the next few days. They would be docking in Paris and he hoped to spend a very romantic day with Blaine in the city of love. When Rachel didn't answer, Kurt silently flung the blankets from his body, removing himself from his bed, and leaned over the sleeping figure in Rachel's bed. He placed a hand on her shoulder, shaking her slightly.
Rachel grumbled something incoherently as her eyes fluttered open. "Wha-?"
"Get out of bed and get dressed. I need some time with my best friend." Rachel huffed once before pushing herself out of bed and as quick as she was on her feet, she disappeared into the bathroom. Kurt heard as the shower was switched on and since Kurt had showered the night before, he moved over to the too-small closet to rummage through an outfit for the day.
Half an hour later later, Rachel appeared in the bathroom doorway, ready for the day. She had a sleeveless pumpkin orange ruffled shirt on which was tucked into a tan pleated skirt, accompanied with a bright red belt and baby pink flats. It was very Rachel Berry, in the best way possible. Kurt actually approved of her outfit (only slightly). Kurt had opted for a simpler outfit. An outfit that, if asked, he would deny wearing. He was clad in a gray short-sleeved t-shirt, blinding white skin-tight jeans, and combat boots. He knew he should have had put on some sort of vest or another article of clothing to make his outfit more unique, but just felt that simple was the way to go today.
The two smiled at each other and promptly left the room, and a sleeping Finn, behind.
They ended up seated in the one small cafe on the ship. As they arrived and ordered their coffees, they took a few minutes to completely wake themselves up before their conversations began. Rachel had mostly been going on about how Finn had taken her to dinner and how amazing being in the city of love with Finn was going to be. "It'll be so romantic!" she had said multiple times. Kurt tried more than once to remind her that he had invited her to come out with him so he could get some advice, but every time she would cut him off and change the subject. Kurt knew she didn't do it on purpose, that was just Rachel. She talked... and talked. And then talked some more.
It took what seemed like the better half of an hour to find a pause in her lecture and input what Kurt had been trying to tell her all morning. "I'm going to tell Blaine I'm in love with him." Hearing those words caused Rachel to cut off her speech immediately.
Rachel stared blankly at Kurt for what seemed like forever, but as that forever slowly faded, a frown crept onto her face. "What?" Kurt sighed, lowering his eyes down to his almost empty coffee cup.
"I love him, Rachel. And I want him to know I do."
"Kurt..." Rachel began, sadness clouding around her. Kurt knew what direction this conversation was headed, he had just hoped his friend would be supportive rather than against it. "You only met Blaine three weeks ago."
"I know, Rachel, but-"
"No, Kurt. I won't let you get your heart broken. I've watched you go through enough in your life already, I won't stand around and watch this crush you," Rachel said, her voice raising slightly. Kurt promised himself that if the conversation had strayed in this direction, he would stay calm and explain everything to his best friend, but her words hurt and frustrated him at the same time.
"Blaine isn't going to hurt me. He's been so open about himself, about his past, and I've been the same. I feel like I've known him my whole life." Kurt paused, thinking of how to word his next thought. "Are you telling me that when you first met Finn, you didn't immediately feel like you were meant to be together?" This statement made Rachel visibly freeze. Because, truth was, even though Rachel was so happy with Finn now, she had been so angry with him in high school. When he let his reputation get the best of him, Rachel was crushed and had swore she would hate Finn for the rest of her life. But she couldn't do that. She knew to this day that she had never stopped loving Finn, not for one second. She also knew that the second she had seen Finn in the school hallway freshman year that she was absolutely head over heels for the football player.
"I... No, I guess you're right," she murmured, defeated. She looked up and locked eyes with her best friend and smiled brightly. She could see the sparkle in Kurt's eyes. The light that shone so bright whenever he talked about Blaine. In that moment, she knew that what Kurt and Blaine had was just as strong as what she shared with Finn. True love. "So how are you going to tell him?" Kurt grinned brightly at his friend as he explained his romantic evening with the man he was in love with.
Blaine awoke to the loud speaker that sounded across the boat telling all the passengers that they had docked in France. He perked up at the announcement and hopped joyously out of bed and into the kitchen to fix himself a steaming cup of coffee. Kurt was picking him up at noon—it was currently 11:24—to take to lunch with his family and then they were to spend the day in Paris... alone. Blaine's heart leaped at the thought. He would be in the city of love... with the man he loved. Blaine had plans.
Blaine hurriedly went through the routine of showering and dressing himself (he picked something simple; a white cotton t-shirt and dark tight pants) and was about to pick up the bottle of hair gel when there was a knock at his door. Blaine hadn't noticed the absence of Cooper until now. He had probably went out to drink and was in some random girl's room right now. Good thing he had opted out of lunch with Kurt's family. There was another round of persistent knocking and Blaine ran to the door, bottle of hair gel in hand, to reveal Kurt. His eyes shone particularly brighter today and Blaine smiled at this. Blaine reached a hand out to Kurt's and pulled him against his chest for a passionate kiss. Kurt's arms entwined themselves around Blaine's neck while Blaine's hands lingered on his boyfriends waist. Kurt felt the cold plastic bottle against his back and frowned. He reached a hand back to grab the bottle and held it up to inspect the contents. He shot an amused look at Blaine.
"What?" Blaine asked. Kurt reached his free hand up to run through Blaine's curly locks and smiled at the shorter boy.
"Can you surpass the helmet of gel today? I like running my hands through your hair."
"But-" Blaine pouted. "I look like Medusa!" Kurt laughed at this and pressed a sweet kiss to Blaine's lips.
"I love your hair." Kurt leaned in to whisper the next part in Blaine's ear even though nobody would hear them, regardless. "Your curls are sexy as hell. You have no idea what it does to me." Blaine's breathing hitched at the words, his eyes rolling back into his head as he let out a soft groan.
"None of that! I don't want to see or hear my baby brother making those noises!" Cooper's booming voice sounded over the two, causing them to leap apart and blush furiously. Cooper eyed both boys and sent Blaine a small wink before disappearing into the small kitchen.
"Why is it impossible to get any alone time?" Kurt muttered, annoyed at the intrusion. Blaine shrugged his shoulder, hesitantly reaching for his bottle of hair gel.
"Blaine Devon Anderson, don't you dare!" Blaine's hand snapped back to his side and he wore a face similar to that of a kicked puppy, lip jutted out, eyes big. Kurt rolled his eyes and kissed his nose with a soft smile before backing out of Blaine's grasp and joining Cooper in the kitchen.
Cooper was leaning against the counter, a magazine in his hands, when Kurt entered. He flipped a page of the magazine without looking up at Kurt. Both stayed quiet as Cooper continued to flip through the magazine. Once he turned over the last page, he set it aside and looked up to Kurt with a serious expression. "What can I do for you today, Kurtsie?" Kurt rolled his eyes at the name, but ignored it. Kurt's eyes narrowed at the man, and he crossed his arms across his chest.
"You wanted to talk to me," Kurt reminded him, referring to a conversation they had the day before.
"Right, right," Cooper countered, mirroring Kurt's actions and crossing his own arms across his chest. His face suddenly became nothing but serious. "I know how you and Blaine feel about each other. It's clear in both of your eyes, but I still worry about him. You've seen how bad he can get sometimes with the nightmares and flashbacks. He's had less and less bad days since he's met you, but they are still there, nonetheless." He paused, blinking back the tears he wanted to shed for his damaged baby brother. Kurt looked saddened at the mention of Blaine's past. "I just need to make sure he's in good hands when he moves to New York."
"I thought he was moving in with you?" Cooper shrugged.
"Things change. He's with you now. I guess I just thought he'd want to live with you instead." Kurt nodded, eyes dropping to where he was wringing his hands together. Had Blaine talked to Cooper about living with Kurt? Is that what he wanted? Kurt definitely did.
"We haven't talked about that yet. I know we're moving fast, but-" Kurt looked behind him and listened closely, hearing Blaine singing to himself behind the wall. He lowered his voice before speaking again. "-I love him. I can't help but feel a strange connection to him. He's been the person I've been looking for forever and I'm not letting that go after we get off this boat. I'll always be there for him, just like I was before. I've only known him for a few weeks but he's already been made a permanent fixture in my life." Cooper's nod and smile answered all of Kurt's questions of his doubt and he couldn't help but smile along with the man.
"Thank you, Kurt."
"For what?"
"You made my brother truly happy for the first time in years and that's all I've ever wanted for him," Cooper said, letting a stray tear roll down his cheek. Just then, Blaine entered with a smile, humming a familiar tune. Cooper wiped away the tear before Blaine had noticed and smiled genuinely at his brother.
"Ready when you are," Blaine grinned, holding out a hand for Kurt to take. Kurt obliged to his silent request and laced their fingers together, shooting a quick smile at Cooper before silently heading out the door.
The Hudson-Hummel clan which now included Rachel and Blaine were all sat at a small table in a top of the line restaurant Rachel had found online before they left for the cruise. They all held menus in their hands, deciding on what to order. Minutes later, a waitress greeted them in French and Burt began to order in English when a confused look crossed the girl's face. She obviously didn't speak much English.
"Dad," Kurt interrupted, halting his dad's words. He looked to the girl and smiled politely and apologized in fluent French. Kurt then turned to his family and asked what they all wanted. After he had all their orders down, he repeated them to the woman in perfect French. Blaine's eyes were wide through the whole process. He knew Kurt spoke the language but didn't know he spoke it so fluently. Burt eyed his son proudly while Finn stared at him incredulously. Even after so many years, he hadn't ever really heard his step-brother speak the language to that extent, only a few words and phrases here and there.
Once Kurt was done ordering, the waitress visibly relieved that she didn't have to speak in English, he turned back to the group and displayed a cocky grin. He caught Blaine staring, mouth hanging open slightly, out of the corner of his eye and turned to said man and shot him a wink. This snapped Blaine out of his reverie and back to the conversation of the table.
Throughout their meal, Blaine couldn't help but sneak glances at Kurt every few minutes... or seconds. The boy never ceased to amaze him and he loved that about him. Once Kurt was finished with the plate of pasta he ordered (which Blaine had not-so-sneakily stolen a few bites of) he stood and announced he was going to use the restroom. Blaine's eyes followed the taller boy as he walked away, shamelessly checking out his boyfriend. Burt caught the movement and shook his head, amused.
"You should really control your gawking, kid," Burt commented, chuckling when Blaine's head snapped to the man and he blushed a deep scarlet.
"S-Sorry," Blaine murmured, ducking his head and praying that the floor would swallow him whole.
"Don't fret, kid. I know what it's like to be young... But I do want to ask you a question or two." Blaine suddenly felt very awkward and terrified at the same time. Four pairs of eyes turned to him as he nodded, looking anywhere but at Burt.
"I think I speak for all of us when I say thank you." This caught Blaine's attention and he allowed himself to look Burt in the eye and smile. He opened his mouth to ask why he was thanking him but was cut off by Carole's sweet, motherly voice.
"Kurt has been so happy these past few weeks. I have never seen him so sincerely happy. I assume the last time he smiled this much was before his mother passed away," Carole looked to Burt for confirmation and the man nodded once. "It has been a rough few years for Kurt, and although we see how fast you both are taking this relationship, we also see how devoted you both are to each other; how much you both love each other already. It's almost bizarre how much we can see it, and I for one would be concerned about it if I hadn't felt the same when I married Finn's father and when I found Burt." Blaine smiled brightly and silently thanked the woman with his eyes.
"I trust you're treating him right?" Burt interjected.
"Of course. Always," Blaine answered sincerely. "I could never hurt him."
"Good. Then welcome to the family, son." Burt's words sent a jolt through Blaine's heart and he felt his eyes begin to well with tears. He had never truly had a family before. He had Cooper when he was little, but after he moved out, he was alone for so long. Now, he couldn't imagine his life without these wonderful people in it. With his family in it.
"Thank you," Blaine whispered, wiping away a stray tear and wearing a smile. Kurt chose that moment to return to the table.
"Dad! What did you do to him?" Kurt accused with wide eyes as he took his seat next to his boyfriend, gently wiping away another tear that had fallen. His arm wound around Blaine waist and he looked at him sadly. "Why is he crying?" Burt held his hands up in surrender.
"They're happy tears, I promise. I'll explain later," Blaine murmured into Kurt's ear, low enough to keep between the two of them. Blaine placed a small kiss to Kurt's cheek reassuringly. Kurt looked at him skeptically, glancing around the table with an accusing glare before nodding and letting it go for the time being. Lighter conversation started up again, but Blaine's mind was still stuck on Burt's words. Welcome to the family, son. They echoed through his mind, permanently etching a smile to his lips. He was finally part of a group that loved him like their own; he was finally somewhere he belonged.
A month ago, if you would have come up to Blaine Anderson and told him he would fall in love with this amazing man next to him in mere weeks, he would have called you crazy. He always pictured life in New York City with his brother, doomed to live life alone. He never dreamed he'd find someone as amazing as Kurt and fall so completely in love with him in so little time. He was skeptical as to the existence to someone like Kurt; someone who fit perfectly with him, whose hand formed perfectly with his, who fell into his life so easily and fit in perfectly. He was completely convinced that Kurt was made for him and him for Kurt, that they were soulmates.
The two spent the day walking through the city of love. They took hundreds of pictures of themselves in front of the many famous landmarks in Paris, including the Eiffel Tower. Kurt couldn't believe how beautiful the city was in person. The pictures did it no justice.
The first place Blaine had wanted to show Kurt was the Montparnasse Tower which had the best views in the city. It held the fastest elevator in Paris that brought you up 56 floors in only 38 seconds and offered a view of the city in all directions. They made it to the top of the tower, Kurt slightly freaked out by the speed of the elevator, and gasped at the sight in front of them. You could see everything. It was one of the most stunning things Kurt as well as Blaine had ever seen, though Blaine had seen it more than once on his previous trips to the city.
The day also consisted of visits to the Arc de Triomphe, Musee du Louvre, and the Notre Dame Cathedral. Each sight was absolutely stunning in it's architecture and took both boys' breath away. Even seeing the famous buildings more than once, Blaine still felt amazed by the sheer beauty of the city and all it had to offer. It was an even more amazing experience sharing it with Kurt.
As the day grew darker and the city truly turned into the City of Lights, Blaine began to periodically check his watch. Kurt was thoroughly distracted by the city to notice his eagerness.
Blaine suggested they head back to the ship for a few minutes when the clock struck seven. Kurt was quick to question him, arguing with Blaine about missing out on something while they were gone. Blaine was quick to reassure his love that it would be a quick trip and that it would be worth it for what he had planned.
When Blaine mentioned he had something planned, Kurt's curiosity spiked. "What did you do, Blaine?" Blaine looked at him innocently. Kurt's voice wasn't accusatory as much as it was excited that he had planned a night together.
"You'll see. But first, we need to head back to the ship. I promise it'll be worth it." Kurt was skeptical but went along with his boyfriend, quickly heading back to the ship.
Blaine was walking faster than normal, checking his watch every other minute while he pulled Kurt behind him. They made it to the deck where their rooms were located and entered Blaine's room. On the bed, just as Blaine had instructed Cooper, were two garment bags that held nice suits for the both of them. Kurt began to question, but Blaine held up a hand and smiled, zipping open the suit meant for Kurt in one quick movement.
"Get dressed," Blaine instructed, standing on his tip-toes to place a small kiss to Kurt's temple. Kurt stood with his mouth hanging open but obliged. The suit fit him perfectly. Blaine was quickly tying his tie around his neck when he walked back into the front room where Kurt was standing, dressed. Blaine secured his tie in place and looked his boyfriend over. The outfit he wore was a simple dark gray with a metallic matching tie and black dress shoes. Blaine stepped forward and reached out to straighten Kurt's crooked tie before standing back and taking in how amazing he looked. Blaine was dressed similarly but his suit was a navy blue rather than gray. They both took in their partner and couldn't believe that they could call each other theirs.
"You look... wow," Blaine breathed, eyes wide.
"You too," Kurt smiled back.
Both men had fixed their hair to perfection. Kurt's stylishly coiffed while Blaine's was loosely gelled, allowing his curls to be fixed in place without creating the helmet of gel he usually wore. Neither could take their eyes off the other. After a few minutes had passed, Blaine glanced down at his watch once more and he was snapped out of the spell Kurt had put him under and began rushing out the door, grabbing Kurt's hand and instructing the man to follow him. They made it off the ship and through the city in record time, Kurt continuously asking where they were going. Blaine's answer was the same every time. "You'll see." Kurt had begun to hate the words by the time they made it to the base of the Eiffel Tower.
The two traveled to the second level of the tower and Kurt couldn't believe it when Blaine lead him into the restaurant located there. He looked to his boyfriend and asked incredulously, "Le Jules Verne, Blaine? This place is outrageously expensive!"
Blaine's answer was simple but caused Kurt's heart to flutter. "Only the best for you."
"I can't believe you did this," Kurt said, looking around the restaurant as they walked up to the maitre d'.
"Reservation for two," Blaine spoke to the man. He looked up with a smile while his eyes shone with disinterest.
"Name?"
Blaine looked over at Kurt for a moment before answering. "Anderson-Hummel." Kurt gasped quietly and smiled widely. His heart was beating faster than a hummingbird's wings and he didn't think he could love Blaine any more.
The waiter looked over the list he had in front of him. "Ah, right this way, sir," he spoke, his accent thick. He lead the two to a secluded corner of the restaurant that had the most amazing view Kurt had ever seen. The wall they were sat next to was floor-to-ceiling glass and overlooked the city which was now covered in darkness but ablaze with light. The man sat them down and assured them a waiter would be with them soon. Kurt was so lost in the view that he hadn't really heard the man. When the man left, Blaine sat staring at the utter awe Kurt's features held. He was sure he'd never seen anyone so perfect.
They sat in a comfortable silence while they both took everything in before Kurt spoke. "This is so amazing, Blaine. Thank you."
"Any time." They both proceeded to pick up their menus.
Kurt was taking a sip of his water while doing so and almost spit it everywhere when he laid eyes on the prices. His eyes were wide once again and he set down the menu to look up at Blaine, who was staring at him curiously. "Holy crap, Blaine!" he whispered slightly angry. "You know a small meal in a less expensive restaurant would have been perfectly fine with me. This is outrageous!"
Blaine set down his menu and reached across the table to take Kurt's hands in his. His eyes were so intense, causing Kurt to melt under his gaze. "Listen, Kurt. You are so amazing and perfect. You deserve to be spoiled, and I love being the one to spoil you. I have more than enough money, believe me. I would never go through the trouble if I didn't think you were worth it. And you are so worth it, Kurt. You are everything to me. I'm not sure how it happened, but in the short time we've known each other, every time I was with you, I found myself falling more and more in love with you." Kurt gasped at the confession, tears beginning to collect in his eyes. "You are the most amazing, caring, loving, perfect person I have ever met and even if I tried, I couldn't stop myself from falling for you. And believe me, I fell. Hard. You entered my life and became the light at the end of my dark, horrible tunnel and for the first time in my life, I feel safe and free of all the darkness. You saved me. That's all because of you," he paused for a second before adding, "You move me, Kurt. And I love you so much for that." Kurt had long since let his tears fall and his grip tightened around Blaine's hands. Was this real? Did this amazing man in front of him actually feel the same?
Blaine became worried by Kurt's silence and began talking again, rambling. "I know it's a lot to take in, and I completely understand if you don't feel the same-"
"Shut up, Blaine."
"What?" Kurt laughed at his confusion and looked around before leaning across the table, reaching for Blaine's tie to pull him closer, too. They met halfway and Kurt stopped pulling him when their lips were centimeters apart.
"I love you, too," Kurt murmured, before tugging Blaine's tie once more, connecting their lips, fireworks going off in their heads. There was no other way he could describe it except for magical. Perfect.
Their lips moved together in sync, so much passion and love seeping into it. Blaine was the one to reluctantly pull their lips apart as he heard the approaching footsteps. They returned to their original positions in their seat, breathing slightly uneven and hearts pounding wildly. The waiter walked up to their table, seemingly unaware of what had just transpired between the two men. They placed their orders with the waiter, quickly picking the first thing from the menu, unable to keep the smiles off their faces.
The night went on in complete bliss as they ate their food (which was delicious!) and talked until they decided to head back out on the town, walking down the streets hand in hand. The love they shared radiated off of them in waves. Nothing could have brought their moods down.
By the time midnight rolled around, they had decided to head back to the ship. Blaine headed back to his own room after inviting Kurt to stay overnight with him (to sleep) and Kurt eagerly accepted, not wanting his night with Blaine to end. Kurt left Blaine at his room to go check in with his parents and let them know he was back safe and not to worry. He left Blaine at his door with a quick kiss before heading down the hall, practically skipping with joy, and knocked on his dad's and Carole's door. Carole opened the door with a smile. She looked Kurt over with a smile.
"You look nice. What was the occasion?" she asked with a wink. Kurt giggled and stepped into the room when Carole moved aside.
"Blaine took me to Le Jules Verne," he stated, plopping down on the end of the bed with a huge smile. Kurt could hear the shower running from inside the bathroom, telling him his father was showering.
"Really?" Carole asked incredulously. "That place is so expensive." Kurt rolled his eyes playfully.
"I know! And I told him that I would've been fine with a laid back evening somewhere a little more affordable, but guess what he said!" Kurt was overjoyed over his evening with Blaine and when Carole questioned what he had said, he went into full explanation about his night, not leaving out a single moment. The whole story was told with heart eyes and a never ending smile. Once Kurt had informed his step-mother of the events of the evening, she pulled him up off the bed and into a tight hug.
"I'm so happy for the both of you, honey."
"Thanks, Carole. I'm so happy, too," Kurt muttered into the woman's shoulder, letting a stray tear of joy roll down his cheek. Carole released her step-son and kissed his forehead just as Burt entered the room.
"Wow, kiddo. You look great."
"Thanks, Dad." Kurt looked to Carole. "I should get going." Carole nodded to him and patted his shoulder before leading him out the door.
"Have a good night, dear," she said with a wink. Kurt's face quickly flushed and he shook his head.
"Uh... I don't think that's on the agenda tonight, Carole." Kurt voice was an octave higher than usual, earning a confused look from his father. Carole raised her eyebrow but let it go, mouthing a quick 'be safe' before smiling and closing the door. She turned back to Burt's questioning glare and retold the events of the evening, skipping over the more intimate parts.
Blaine entered his room, letting the door click closed behind him with a huge smile, and turned to find that the room had been violated with rose petals. They were everywhere. Blaine rolled his eyes annoyed but slightly pleased with his brother. As Blaine made his way further into the room, slightly frightened as to what he might find, he spotted a note on the foot of the bed. He picked it up and read it silently to himself.
Blainers,
I hope all went well on your date with Kurt. You know I wish you both the best. I convinced Rachel and Finn to let me crash in Kurt's bed tonight while Kurt's with you and took the liberty to make your setting a little more romantic, if you know what I mean. Just know how happy I am for the both of you and don't forget to use protection! Don't want any unwanted teen pregnancies, do we? Haha! Just messin' with you, little brother. Have fun with your boyfriend!
With love,
Cooper
Blaine shook his head and threw the note into his suitcase to put in a scrapbook or something. He moved to his closet, carefully pulling off and hanging the suit onto the hanger, zipping it back up in garment bag. He pulled on a pair of slightly worn out sweatpants and an old Dalton t-shirt. He walked into the kitchen to grab a bottle of water, chugging it down quickly before hooking up his iPod speakers and plugging in his music. He had made a playlist of his and Kurt's favorite songs and clicked the shuffle button, letting the music waft quietly through the room. There was a knock on the door that was sure to be Kurt, and as Blaine went to answer it he noticed the lube and condoms sitting on the dresser.
"Good Lord!" he muttered to himself, shoving the items into a drawer, before hurrying to the door where Kurt was knocking again.
He pulled the door open, honey hazel connecting with ocean blue. Kurt was still in his suit, but had his silk pajamas slung over his arm. Blaine ushered him in and waited for him to dress into more comfortable clothing before he began to speak, though as soon as Kurt stepped out of the bathroom, he was asking a question.
"What's with the rose petals? Not that it isn't adorably romantic."
"Uh... The rose petals were Cooper's doing, actually," Blaine answered, hoping Kurt hadn't gotten the wrong idea about them.
"That explains a lot. He probably set out a bottle of lube and some condoms, didn't he?" Kurt asked with a chuckle. Blaine's eyes widened and he remained silent. "Oh my God, he did!" Blaine nodded and pointed to the small desk that held the items in it's drawer.
"I didn't want you to freak out, so I hid them in the drawer. My brother likes to make everything awkward. Sorry." Kurt smiled and walked toward his boyfriend, grabbing his hands and pulling him close.
"Don't apologize. I've spent enough time with your brother to know he likes to be in everyone's business. He was actually curled up in my bed asleep when I went to pick up my things." Both boys chuckled lightly before the room went silent once again.
Blaine looked up at the man he loved and let his eyes move down and linger on Kurt's lips. Kurt's lips twitched as he watched the movement. Before they knew it, their lips were connecting in a heated kiss. Neither was sure who exactly initiated it, but wasn't about to pull away and ask. Their lips moved together with wet smacks for what seemed like hours before Blaine pulled away, reaching his arms down to pull Kurt's legs up to straddle his hips, causing said boy to giggle. Fucking. Giggle. He was quick to bring their lips back together in another searing kiss while backing up until his knees hit the bed. Blaine slowly sat down onto the mattress, Kurt now sat on his lap. They stayed that way for another few minutes before Blaine moved them both up the bed, laying down so that Kurt was now completely on top of him.
Neither boy had plans of making love to the other, but spent the night making the best out of finally being alone. They may not have gone as far as having sex with each other, but they connected in a deep way, letting their partner melt into them. Lips explored and left marks while soft moans and gasps escaped their mouths.
Kurt ran his hand through Blaine's curls, pulling away from his neck to look into his eyes. Eyes that were blown with love and lust. Kurt's hand stopped it's movements, cupping Blaine's cheek, letting the intensity in his eyes convey everything he felt for the other man.
"I love you so much, Blaine." Kurt was verging on tears again as he let the words escape his lips. He didn't think he'd ever feel this way toward anyone.
"I love you, too. Always."
And there you have it! Again, I am SO sorry it took four flippin' months to update. I'll definitely try to get updates out WAY sooner now. I actually really love this chapter and realized how much I missed writing this. Again, I'm really sorry it took so long, but better late than never right? This chapter is actually about 2,000 words longer than usual. That was me trying to make up for not posting for so long.
Oh, and another thing. Just in case you weren't sure, Kurt and Blaine did not have sex. Just making that clear. I'm kind of terrified to write a full out sex scene, but I will eventually.
Anyway, for anyone who's still with me, thanks for reading! And I'll try to update ASAP! :)
