A few days after Kurt and Blaine's fall-out, the Christmas holidays arrived. As usual, the grounds were covered in deep, white snow. A large Christmas tree, beautifully decorated, stood at the entrance to the castle, and snowflakes fell in the great hall. Although most students had gone home for the holidays, the castle had an excited buzz; all the children excited for the weekend and presents.
Kurt, of course, was staying in the school for Christmas, not that he cared. Kurt was in a foul mood, to the point where nobody had approached him. He had never felt so miserable before. He was alone for Christmas, he was in a place he didn't want to be, he had no family to talk to, he had no presents, and most importantly, he didn't have Blaine. Kurt and Blaine hadn't spoken since their argument, which made both boy absolutely distraught. Blaine's probably at home right now, Kurt thought, he's probably sitting by the fire in a homemade Christmas jumper, while his family give him hugs and kisses and a bounty of presents. Kurt was currently sitting in the great hall, picking at his lunch, there were only a few Slytherins sitting at the table, spread out and away from Kurt.
Kurt had his head in his arms when he heard something thump on the table beside him. Kurt looked up to see a perfectly wrapped present sitting before him, with a Slytherin-green bow tied on top. This caused Kurt to look up even further to see Blaine standing before him, looking both nervous and angry. "Merry Christmas", was Blaine's first words. Kurt was completely lost for words, "what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at home with your amazing family?" his snark couldn't be hidden in his words. We might be fighting, and we might never be friends again, but I couldn't go home knowing you were here on your own. So I stayed". Blaine looked sad. Kurt had never experiences such affection before; "thank you", he whispered. Blaine nodded and sat opposite him, gesturing towards the present. "I didn't get you anything", Kurt said shyly, embarrassed that he had been so thoughtless. "It's fine, just open it". Kurt did just that. Inside was a beautiful scarf. It was silver, with slight sparkles in it in the slight shape of snakes. Embroidered into its seams was green silk. It was absolutely beautiful. Kurt had never received a gift so thoughtful and amazing. He looked at Blaine with complete adoration in his eyes;
"I love it. Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou!" Blaine looked thrilled that Kurt loved the present, even though he still have a hint of hurt in his deep brown eyes. "No problem. I guess I'll go back to my table now".
"No!" Kurt almost shouted, causing Blaine to make eye contact with the blue-eyed boy. "Please, sit with me?"
"Sure". Was the short response. Kurt put on his scarf and the two made small talk over lunch. The air was still full of tension, but both boys enjoyed catching up with what had been going on in each other's lives over the last few days. Eventually, they had to part as lunch had ended, which saddened both of them deeply. They parted ways, with thoughts of only each other.
It was another few days before Kurt and Blaine spoke again, Christmas day, in fact. Kurt had made his way up to the Gryffindor tower, his scarf wrapped stylishly around his neck. He wasn't sure how to go about entering the common room, as he didn't know the password, so he tightened his fist and banged against the portrait of the Fat Lady, causing her to squeal in shock and pain. The door opened slowly to a scared looking first year, who seemed absolutely petrified at the sight of the Riddle boy. Kurt ignored him and sauntered into the room, looking around for Blaine, who he saw by the fire with a few fifth year students. He looked happy, which made Kurt smile.
"Blaine". Kurt stated as he walked over to the grand fireplace. "Kurt!" Blaine exclaimed, "What are you doing in here? If you were caught you could be suspended!" Ahh, Blaine, Kurt thought, so naïve and innocent. "I got you this, I mean, I made it, because I didn't have time to buy you something, so I'm sorry it's not as good as this", Kurt said as his fingers lightly traced the scarf. Blaine opened the present. Inside was a bracelet. It looked just like a cheap friendship bracelet, but the strings were alternating colours; going from red, to green, to gold, to silver. The colours intertwined together, causing them to almost blend into one another. Blaine had tears in his eyes when he looked up again; "Kurt. I love it. I really love it. This is the most amazing thing I've ever received". And with that, Blaine flung himself into Kurt's arms, both boys holding tight onto each other, missing the presence of the other.
Eventually, Blaine pulled away and wiped the tears from his eyes, "can we talk, please? I think we both have things to say". Kurt nodded and noticed that the common room was pretty much empty now, so the two took residence on the chairs Blaine was sitting on before.
"I want to start by saying how sorry I am that I ignored you. I'll be honest, I was scared, which I shouldn't have been. I mean, I know you. I know now that you would never hurt me, I can't justify what I did, but I'm sorry. Also, I do want to speak to you again, I didn't mean that bit either".
Kurt heard broke for Blaine; "I'm sorry too. So, so sorry. I knew how scary what you saw was, but I expected everything to just go back to how it was, which I shouldn't have. Mostly, I want to say that I do not hate you, Blaine. I could never, ever hate you. I was just trying to hurt you. I let my rage get the better of me and, I'm sorry".
By this point the pair were very close together, knees touching as they both sat on adjacent chairs. Both boys smiled at the apologies, and held each other's hands tightly. Everything felt right in the world. Blaine took a deep breath and spoke again;
"Kurt. I'm just going to say it. What did that kiss mean to you?" This was not something Kurt wanted to think about right now, when everything had just gotten better again. "What did it mean to you?" he deflected, causing Blaine to huff out a laugh;
"Okay. Here goes. Honestly, I think I've been a little bit in love with you since I first saw you. I thought you were the most breath-taking person I've ever met, and yes, when I found out who you were, I wasn't sure I wanted to know you, but I just couldn't stay away. I won't say I'm completely in love with you yet, but I'm definitely getting there. I know others say it's ridiculous that we could even be friends, but I don't care. That kiss was not a mistake for me, Kurt, I've been wanting to do it for so long and I finally took the plunge but then got scared. And honestly, it's probably one of the best things that has ever happened to me". The room fell silent once Blaine had finished, the two just looking at each other. "Your turn", Blaine finally said quietly.
"I think I've always been a bit in love with you two. Like you, I couldn't stay away, and you're honestly my favourite person I've ever had the pleasure of meeting, Blaine Potter. That kiss was amazing, and I can't stop thinking about it, and I would like nothing more than for you to do it again".
Kurt had just finished when he felt the familiar sensation of warm lips on his. This time, he was more prepared, he opened his mouth against Blaine's and the two deepened the kiss. Like before, Blaine moved his hands to hold Kurt's waist possessively, while Kurt tangled his hands in Blaine's hair. The two kissed for a good five minutes before they pulled away.
"Kurt, will you please be my boyfriend?" Blaine asked with a large smile on his face. "Of course, you dummy", Kurt replied, pulling both of them into a tight hug.
"Best. Christmas. Ever". Blaine said.
Yay! Hope you liked this chapter, but the story is far from over yet. ;) Also, every now and then I slip in a canon Glee line; there's been two so far, so if you can spot them, well done!
When I read fics, sometimes there is something I really don't want to happen, and if it does it ruins the whole story for me, and if the author hints at it, I don't want to read the rest of the story in case it happens. So if that makes sense, there is something I'm going to tell you doesn't happen in the story, in case you were worried about it. SPOILER ALERT: there will be no cheating in this story. They will have some struggles, but neither Kurt nor Blaine will cheat.
