This one was prompted by magenta-dear: "What if Kurt and Blaine went to a theme park, and it turns out Kurt's a little afraid?" I read that and I squeeed a little bit - it just sounded so dang adorable.
This is set around late July/early August. And I'm saying that Regionals were in late March/early April. So Kurt and Blaine have been together for just about four months.
This is going to switch between Kurt and Blaine's POVs because I think it needs to be told from both sides.
Here's Chapter Ten: Not So Amusing Amusement Park
Kurt POV
"What do you love more than anything in the world?" Kurt asked into the phone. He was lying on his bed talking to his boyfriend of almost four months.
"You," Blaine replied without skipping a beat, which made Kurt smile.
"Besides that," he clarified.
"Ummm..." Kurt smiled again when Blaine actually had to think about it. "Harry Potter."
Kurt had to admit it - his boyfriend was pretty much obsessed with the boy wizard, but that wasn't what he was looking for. "Nope. Guess again."
"I have no idea what you're talking about. Can you give me a hint?"
"A whole new world..." Kurt sang.
"Oh!" Blaine exclaimed, finally catching on. "Disney movies."
"There you go," Kurt laughed.
"Why are you bringing it up?"
"Because my dad just said that we're going to Disney World for two weeks." He paused dramatically.
"Lucky!" Blaine said, jealousy in his voice. "So, wait..." he continued. "Does that mean I don't get to see you for two weeks?" The sadness in his voice was incredibly adorable and endearing.
"Well... that's the thing. Since my dad and Carole are pretty much the best parents in the entire world, they said that Finn and I could each bring someone." Finn, of course, was bringing Rachel since that boy was so whipped it wasn't funny. Kurt loved the girl and everything, but she had a tendency to irritate him 99.9% of the time. He needed Blaine around to keep him sane.
"Are you saying what I think you're saying?" he asked, the excitement in his voice positively seeping through the phone.
Kurt decided to have a little fun with him. "Finn's bringing Rachel and I asked Mercedes to come, too..."
"Oh." The excitement was gone.
"But she's going to be visiting family, so she won't be able to make it. So then I thought to myself 'Who else would I want to take with me to the most the magical place on earth?' At first, I couldn't think of anybody - I mean, my friends aren't really the type to get excited over going to Disney World, you know?" Kurt couldn't help the huge smile that spread over his face. "But then I remembered that I did know someone who would want to come with me."
"Oh, really?" Blaine asked, playing along. "Who?"
"I don't think you know him. He has hazel eyes and really soft curly black hair that he usually plasters to his head with an ungodly amount of gel. He's an amazing singer, but doesn't know the first thing about romance and has a bad habit of saying the wrong thing. Oh, and he's also so short he could probably be classified as a midget." Kurt heard Blaine sigh on the other end of the line. He hated it when people made fun of his height.
"He sounds pretty awesome."
"He's also really conceited," Kurt said, giving into the laughter that had been building in his throat. Composing himself, he said, "I'm just going to ask it. Blaine Anderson, will you go to Disney World with me?"
Kurt could hear the smile in Blaine's voice when he said, "I thought you'd never ask."
Blaine POV
"Okay, I changed my mind," Kurt said nervously as he tried to get out of line for the Tower of Terror. He and Blaine (along with Kurt's family and his brother's girlfriend) were on their second day at Disney World and Blaine was having the time of his life. For one thing, he was in Florida, which was amazing since he'd never left Ohio before that. Second, he was at Disney World, which was on par with Heaven to Blaine (who was the biggest Disney fan in the world). But most importantly, he got to spend two uniterrupted weeks with Kurt, whom Blaine loved more than anything in the entire world.
"Are you... scared?" He took Kurt's hand and held it tightly.
"Please don't judge me," Kurt said, struggling to get away.
"Calm down, Kurt. It's not scary." Screams emitted from the ride, contradicting Blaine's words. Kurt tried harder to get away, but Blaine wasn't letting go. "Hey, hey." He pulled Kurt in close to him, which earned him some weird looks from people around them. Blaine ignored them because he knew they would have to deal with people like that wherever they went. "Look at me." Kurt did so. "Okay, yeah. It's going to be scary, but so what? A little fear in life is good."
"No, it most certainly is not," Kurt countered, resuming his struggle to get away. Blaine spun him around looped his fingers through the loops on Kurt's black skinny jeans (only Kurt Hummel would wear skinny jeans to an amusement park) and locked his hazel eyes with Kurt's blue/green/gray (was there an actual name for that color) ones. "Please don't make me do this, Blaine."
"What happened to the guy who stood up to Karofsky? Or the guy who went back to a school where he was constantly picked on? Or the guy who stood up in front of his entire class and got crowned Prom Queen? Where's he?" Kurt shrugged. "Way I see it," Blaine continued, "if a person can do all that, then he can go on a silly ride. Don't you think?"
Kurt sighed and linked their hands together. "You are so annoying." Blaine leaned in and kissed him, vaguely aware of a guy to thier left turning his head in disgust.
"Ready for this?" he asked against the other boy's lips.
"Let's go," Kurt said, back to his fierce and confident self.
Kurt POV
"Don't ever make me do that again," Kurt said as they got off the ride and went to search for Kurt's family.
"Don't lie, you loved it," Blaine joked, making Kurt laugh. He had spent the entire ride screaming like a girl and clutching Blaine for dear life (okay, so maybe that part wasn't so bad). How people found things like that enjoyable was beyond Kurt.
"Hey, guys," Finn said when they'd all caught up with each other.
"Kurt, are you okay? You look paler than usual," Rachel said, a look of concern crossing her face.
"He's fine," Blaine reassured them. "Just found out the hard way that he isn't a fan of the Tower of Terror." Kurt shook his head fervently.
"Never again," he said faintly, causing everyone to laugh.
"Well, come on kids," Carole said, putting an arm around Kurt's shoulder. "Let's get going."
Still Kurt POV
The next day, when they stepped onto Main Street USA and Kurt saw Cinderella's castle, he almost had a heart attack like he did the first time he'd seen it when they'd first gotten to Disney. Cinderella was his favorite of the Disney classics - he could quote every line.
As the six of them walked, Kurt noticed that people glanced at his and Blaine's intertwined hands. One guy was particularly bad - he actually took his daughter and moved her to the other side of the street. "Like being gay's contagious," Blaine muttered under his breath.
"Don't worry about it," Kurt whispered in his ear, planting a kiss on his jawbone. "So what do you guys want to do?" he asked, addressing the others.
"You kids go do whatever. Just meet back here at lunch time, okay?" Burt said and the four teenagers nodded before walking away.
"Anyone want to go on Splash Mountain?" Finn asked. Blaine and Rachel nodded.
Kurt knew that going on Splash Mountain would ruin not only his hair, but probably his clothes as well. He wouldn't do it. Then he looked and Blaine and saw that he was wearing a very, very light blue t-shirt. The kind of shirt that would become very see-through if it got wet. "I'm in," he said. But when they reached the ride, Kurt started to get scared again. That was a very big drop. Like "leave your stomach at the top" drop. "Ummm..." he said.
"Dude, don't tell me you're scared of this one, too," Finn said as they got in line. It was a very long line, so maybe he'd have time to get out of it. "It's like a roller coaster but... wetter." Kurt just stared at him. "Wait... you've never been on a roller coaster, have you?"
"Umm... no?"
"Really, babe? Never?" Kurt shook his head, a little ashamed. Seriously, what seventeen-year-old boy had never been on a roller coaster? "Well, there's a first time for everything," he added cheerfully, dragging the reluctant Kurt forward as the line did. After what seemed like forever, they made it to the front of the line and Blaine hopped right into the front seat of the plastic log. "Come on, baby." He patted the seat next to him. "It's only fun if you sit in the front." Kurt rolled his eyes and got in next to him.
"If this ruins my clothes," he warned. "I swear to God, I'm breaking up with you and putting you back on a plane to Ohio." It was an empty threat and Blaine knew it, so he threw his head back and laughed.
The ride started pretty harmless, then they started to climb a hill. Kurt knew this wasn't the big drop, but his heart quickened and he closed his eyes, only opening them when he was sure they were horizontal again. The ride was pretty clam for the next few minutes and then animatronic vultures started to taunt them, telling them to turn back while they could. Kurt wanted to take their advice.
Then they started to travel upward at what was closer to a vertical angle than Kurt was comfortable with. He started to hyperventilate and Blaine took a hand off the safety bar and wrapped it around Kurt. "Hey, I'm here. It's all going to be okay," he whispered as they approached the top. Right before they fell, Blaine turned Kurt's head and kissed him in a way that made Kurt want a lot more. Then they fell and Kurt screamed the whole way down while Blaine held his hand and laughed.
When they got off, all four of them were sufficently soaked to the bone and Blaine's t-shirt - as Kurt had predicted - was clinging to him and showing off every inch of his perfect upper body. "You okay, babe?" he asked, putting an arm around Kurt and pressing their wet bodies together.
"Umm... yeah." He was blatantly staring at Blaine, but what the hell did he care? Blaine was his boyfriend... he was allowed to stare, wasn't he?
"You sure?"
"Uh, Blaine?" Rachel said tentatively. "I think Kurt's a little distracted."
"What?" Blaine looked down. "Oh. Well um..." Kurt didn't let him finish. He grabbed Blaine by his sopping wet shirt and kissed him deeply, not caring who was watching. They could all go to Hell, really. He loved Blaine and he was going to let the world know it. Besides, what better place to show your love for someone than at Disney World, home to some of the most romantic love stories ever created (Cinderella and Prince Charming... Belle and the Beast... Ariel and Prince Eric... Aladdin and Jasmine...)?
"Dudes!" the boys broke apart at the sound of Finn's voice.
"God, Finn!" Blaine complained. "You are a worse cockblocker than Ron Weasley." Of course Blaine would pull out a Harry Potter reference.
"Hey, calm down," Kurt said softly. "How about tomorrow you and I stay at the hotel? That way we won't have any interruptions." And Kurt wouldn't have a heart attack on any more of those asinine rides, thought he didn't say that part out loud.
Because, really, it was only about the first part.
So I did not like this one AT ALL. But it's what you guys think is important :)
Review!
