October 5 – 27, 2014
Kurt watched as Blaine moved around his room and packed his bag. He couldn't believe he was loosing his boyfriend for three weeks. They had talked about it and while Kurt wanted to go to California, he needed to stay in New York.
"You are acting awful happy for leaving me for three weeks," Kurt said with a sigh.
Blaine dropped the shirt he was holding and looked over at his boyfriend, "You understand for every moment of being excited about this, I am thinking I should stay here and never let you go." He moved to sit down in Kurt's lap and wrapped his legs around his middle. "You do know that right?"
"Yeah," Kurt sighed. "I suppose it's just my insecurities."
"You have," Blaine kissed Kurt, "nothing to," kiss, "worry," kiss, "about," he smiled giving Kurt another kiss. "I love you Kurt Hummel and I'm not going anywhere."
"Technically you are going across the country," Kurt said to him.
Blaine let out a laugh and leaned their foreheads together, "I know and you know I wouldn't do it but it's a great opportunity and it will open up so many doors for us."
"I know, I suppose I should get used to being with a rock star," Kurt giggled.
"I like the sound of that," Blaine smiled, "Rock star."
Kurt shook his head, "Well apparently things are going to your head right on time."
"Only because you are saying them," Blaine said with a smile, "You make me say the most honest things."
"Right," Kurt said and looked down linking their hands together, "Do you think things will go like they did during the summer."
"No," Blaine said.
Kurt stared into Blaine's eyes, "How do you know?"
"Because we were arguing over our lack of confidence in one another, and I, Blaine Anderson, have the most confidence in this relationship because you and I are in this for the long run," Blaine told him, "And if you don't believe me just look at the thousands of songs I have written just for you. Plus remember the awesome sex we have."
Kurt started laughing and smiled at Blaine, "Right those songs you wrote for me."
Blaine pretended to be offended, "Excuse me, awesome sex."
"I think you'll need to remind me of that one," Kurt said letting one of hands trail down Blaine's front.
"Oh, I plan on it," Blaine said moving his body and pushing Kurt down onto the bed. He moved his body so he was on top of Kurt and he leaned down pressing their lips together in a heated kiss. He moved his hand lower and grabbed onto Kurt's hip.
"Dudes! Woah!"
Blaine started to lift his head, but Kurt wrapped his arms around Blaine's neck pulling him back down.
Derby stood in the doorway, "Um, dudes."
Blaine reluctantly moved his lips away from Kurt's. Kurt continued to press kisses along Blaine's jaw and neck, sucking and biting as he went. "Erm, Derby not now. Holy shit, Kurt!"
Kurt bit down harder than he was and licked at the spot. He nuzzled Blaine's jaw.
"Shit, Kurt," Blaine said, he moved his head to kiss Kurt.
"Forget it," Derby said waving his hand, "I can't believe you two."
Blaine was panting as Kurt finally moved away, "You do realize that two years ago you would have never done that."
"And in those two years you have shown me so much," Kurt grinned.
"Plus everything you have shown me," Blaine wiggled his eyebrows.
Kurt flipped them on the bed making Blaine's suitcase fall to the floor with a crash. "Really?"
Blaine lifted his legs and wrapped them around Kurt's middle, "Oh yes. I believe we need a thorough overview of all those things we have shown one another."
"Sounds like a plan to me," Kurt said as he leaned down kissing Blaine once again.
The next morning, Blaine woke up and squeezed his arms around Kurt's middle. He loved the feeling of waking up with Kurt next to him. Pressing his nose to Kurt's neck he breathed in and out.
"Are you smelling me?"
"Maybe," Blaine said with a laugh, not realizing Kurt could have been awake.
Kurt didn't open his eyes, "You are so weird."
"I am," Blaine grinned and then he pressed a kiss to Kurt's cheek.
"I don't want you to go," Kurt sighed.
Blaine pulled himself up and he leaned on his elbow looking down at Kurt's face, who was now awake and eyes shining on the verge of tears, "We will get through this Kurt."
"I know we will, I just don't want to be away from you for that long," Kurt said.
"Well I hate to be away from home that long, but we will be make it through this," Blaine said kissing Kurt.
Kurt smiled, "New York will definitely miss you."
"I don't think you heard me correctly, I don't want to be away from home that long because home is you," Blaine said as he leaned his head on Kurt's naked chest.
"What does that mean?" Kurt asked.
Blaine let his fingers dance along Kurt's skin, "It means that where ever you are is where my heart is."
"Are you about to break out into this elaborate song you wrote for me?" Kurt asked raising an eyebrow.
Blaine laughed, "No. I don't do it that often do I?"
"You do," Kurt said lifting his own hand and trailing his finger along Blaine's face, "Not that I'm complaining."
"You are," Blaine sighed, "I suppose I can lay off."
"Wait, I didn't tell you to stop," Kurt said, "I just think to make it fair, I should serenade you everyone once in awhile."
"Really?" Blaine smiled, "I do love your voice, especially when you are screaming my name or all those swear words with it."
Kurt hit Blaine on the arm, "Knock it off."
Blaine looked to the side and picked the camera up from his side table. He had a small collection of old cameras, plus he had a Polaroid camera he treasured. "Can I take some pictures of you?"
"You want pictures of me?" Kurt asked confused.
Blaine smiled, "I do have pictures of you. I just meant pictures like this."
Kurt lifted an eyebrow, "Naked?"
"No, just you," Blaine said with a laugh in his voice, "You aren't all dressed up and just you. It's just another part of you I love. Now, hold still."
"How am I supposed to lay for this?" Kurt asked not knowing how to put his body.
Blaine sighed and he lowered the camera, "How about just lay there and look amazing as ever."
Kurt let out a laugh and he heard Blaine take a picture. "You have no idea how adorable you can be sometimes."
"I do," Blaine smiled wide, "And I learn to use it to my advantage." He lifted his camera back up and took another picture of his boyfriend. "How did I get so lucky?"
Kurt blushed as he looked up at Blaine, "I ask myself that question every day."
"I suppose we are just incredibly lucky then," Blaine smiled. He leaned down and pressed a kiss to Kurt's lips. "Now I have to admit this whole New York look you have grown into scared me for a bit."
"Why would it have scared you?" Kurt asked confused.
"Have you seen the looks you get from people?" Blaine said to him, "I can swear there are like ten guys who would jump your bones on our walk from the concert the other night."
Kurt lifted an eyebrow, "Are you serious?"
Blaine sighed, "Look it's not a bad thing, I'm happy for you. You are happy and all that, I just have these feelings of you changing more than you already have and leaving me."
"Woah, wait a minute," Kurt said scooting closer to Blaine, "Where is all of this coming from?"
Looking down at the camera in his hands, Blaine just gave a shrug, "My fears I suppose."
"Blaine, I love you," Kurt said. He put his hand underneath Blaine's chin and lifted his head, "I love you and not anyone else. I'm not leaving you because I gained a bit of muscle. Trust me, you have no idea how many times I have felt the same about you."
"Right," Blaine rolled his eyes.
"Girls and boys oogling you every time you go up on a stage," Kurt said to him, "I think we need a make a pact that if we ever feel like that we need to tell one another about it. I can't promise it will be easy, but I think we shouldn't bottle that up."
"I know," Blaine sighed and he fell into Kurt's lap. "I promise to tell you when I am feeling insecure about anything, including my band."
"Your band huh?" Kurt said and leaned down to kiss Blaine. It was an awkward angle with Blaine laying in his lap.
"Good morning!" Rachel said walking into Blaine's room, "How are my favorite two brothers?"
"I'm not your brother Rach," Kurt reminded her.
"Soon enough," Rachel shrugged, "Are you all packed Blaine?"
Blaine peeked over the edge of his bed, "Um, sort of."
"What do you mean sort of?" Rachel asked and she walked around the bed, "You aren't packed at all!"
Kurt laughed, "Sorry, I think that was my fault."
"I can't believe you two," Rachel sighed, "I believe your plane leaves in four hours, so I think you should put on some pants and pack your clothes. I doubt Kurt would let you run around California naked." She walked around the room.
"Only if I was there walking around naked with you," Kurt commented as she walked out.
Blaine turned to face Kurt and he only kept a straight face for a few moments before laughing so hard he fell onto the bed. The two eventually got out of bed and put some clothes on. Kurt was hesitant, but he knew Blaine couldn't really pack his clothes naked in case Rachel came in again.
"These turned out awesome," Blaine said holding up the pictures.
Kurt looked over Blaine's shoulder and it was them naked tangled in the blankets. He smiled at the photos, "You have those, what am I suppose to remember you by?"
"This one," Blaine picked one of the pictures, "And you can have the one you took of my butt by accident."
"I never said it was an accident," Kurt snorted.
Blaine kissed his boyfriend on the cheek, "I knew that. So I suppose this is time we should lay down our final goodbyes."
"Yeah," Kurt said. He wrapped his arms around Blaine and pulled him in close for a tight hug. "I'll miss you so much."
"I'll miss you too," Blaine said hugging Kurt back. Kurt chose not to go to the airport, he knew he would lose it and he was not about to let New York see him like that. "I love you."
"I love you too," Kurt said and he could feel the tears start to fall down his face. "Damn it."
"Hey," Blaine said moving away slightly, but staying in Kurt's hug, "We will call and Skype and annoy everyone with our mushy texts. I know it."
"You're right," Kurt wiped his face. "I just hate seeing you go."
"I hate seeing you stay," Blaine pulled Kurt close to him again.
Kurt nuzzled into Blaine's embrace, "I will see you at your show on the 27th."
"I can't wait to see you," Blaine said and he hiccupped from keeping his tears down. "Come on, why don't you say goodbye to the rest of group and then we can start our mushy text messages early." He took Kurt's hand and they walked into the main room of the apartment.
"Look who has risen," Derby commented, "The two sex monkeys."
Blaine walked over and hit him on the back of the head, "Talk to me when you have to leave your significant other for a month."
Kurt only smiled as he let go of Blaine's hand and walked over to the coffee maker. He poured two cups of coffee before he joined Blaine sitting on the couch.
"What are you doing while we are gone?" Maddie asked Kurt.
"Enjoy the quiet," Kurt teased.
Maddie let out a laugh, "I can see that."
Kurt looked over at Rachel who was holding her clipboard and she was re-reading everything she had written down. "I was planning on going home for a weekend to visit my dad and Carole."
"They will enjoy that," Blaine said playing with his cup.
The unspoken look that the group always gave one another when Kurt mentioned going back home, was being given as Rachel rushed around the apartment. It had been another break up between Finn and Rachel just two months ago and she was still going through some of the stuff.
Rachel looked up from her clipboard, "That's good. They will want to see you."
"Say hi to Puck if you see him," Kurt said as he took a drink of his coffee.
"He has already Facebook messaged me twice," Rachel said, "He told me to bring Quinn along, but she hasn't been answering my messages."
Rachel was going to go for the first week with Stereo Outcast to help them get started. Kurt had actually been the one to push her to go. He thought she could use the break from their reality.
"Are you going to miss us while we're gone?" Kyle asked him with a large grin.
Kurt laughed, "Yeah, I will."
"You will?" Kyle asked surprised, "Now I feel like an ass for being an ass."
"He will forgive you," Maddie said and turned to Kurt, "Right?"
"Sure yeah," Kurt nodded as he snuggled deeper in the couch and leaned his head on Blaine's shoulder.
Blaine smiled as he leaned his head on top of Kurt's. He was going to miss him so much over these next few weeks, but he knew they could survive anything. "How much time do we have Rach?"
"Oh no more monkey sex for you," Derby pointed to him.
"Not that you dope," Blaine said rolling his eyes.
"We are leaving for the airport in one hour," Rachel said looking at her phone, "We need to get there early enough."
"Okay," Blaine said as he wiggled from underneath Kurt and stood up, "That means there is time to give my gift to Kurt." He held his hand out wiggling his fingers.
Kurt set down his coffee cup and took Blaine's hand. He was pulled up from his seat and out the door of the apartment. "Um, Blaine what is going on?"
"Hang on," Blaine said with a large grin. He walked to his neighbor and knocked on the door.
The door opened and their neighbor, Mrs. Thomas, appeared. "Oh hello Blaine, is it that time already?"
"Yep," Blaine nodded. They walked into the apartment, and Blaine tugged Kurt inside.
Mrs. Thomas smiled, "Well he has been quite the spitfire actually."
"What is she talking about Blaine?" Kurt asked him.
"Here he is," Blaine said as a cat came creeping out of one of the rooms. "I hoped you would like a friend while I was gone."
Kurt let out a small squeal, "Oh Blaine he is so handsome!"
"I found him at a local shelter and I thought he would be perfect for you," Blaine said.
Leaning down, Kurt held out his hand, and the cat slowly came over. He smelled Kurt's fingers before rubbing his head on them.
"Look at you," Kurt said as he began petting the cat.
"Don't you two look adorable together already," Mrs. Thomas said with a smile.
"Thank you for watching him," Blaine said to her.
Mrs. Thomas nodded her head, "Of course, just keep your promise and it will all be fine."
"What promise?" Kurt asked looking up from the cat.
"Oh nothing," Blaine smiled and kissed the top of Kurt's head.
They brought the cat back to the apartment and after everyone had a turn to pet him, Kurt knew it was time to say goodbye. He set the cat down and turned to Derby, "I know the last time we were in California you didn't end up falling in love, but maybe this time."
Derby smiled, "You got it man," he pulled Kurt in for a hug.
Kurt went over to Kyle, "Dude, you have to keep working on those skills because the next time I will beat you."
Kurt let out a laugh, "I think you need to keep working on your skills." He gave him a quick hug and walked over to Maddie. "I hope your phone will be on and waiting for my ridiculous texts."
"I wouldn't dream of getting texts from any other," Maddie said as she wrapped her arms around Kurt. "I don't know how I'll keep sane without you."
Kurt let out a sniffle, he knew he would be seeing them all in three weeks, but he hadn't been this apart from his friends for this long before. "I can't imagine not sending them to you."
Rachel then pulled Kurt into a hug, "I know I'll be back in a week, but know without you for a week, I will go insane."
"You will be fine, besides we have a new roommate now," Kurt smiled as he turned to see Blaine playing with the cat.
"What are you going to name him?" Blaine asked petting the cat.
Kurt thought for a moment, "I think he should be named Babs."
Blaine gave him a look, "Really?"
"No, I believe the name Ralph will suit him fine," Kurt said as he leaned down and pet the cat.
"Ralph," Blaine said testing it, "I like that." He looked up into Kurt's eyes and he felt himself start to tear up, "I'm going to miss you so much," he threw his arms around Kurt.
Kurt hugged Blaine back as he kneeled on the floor. "I will miss you too. Don't worry home will always be waiting for you."
"No, I'm already home," Blaine said nuzzling into Kurt's shoulder.
"You are," Kurt said with a sigh.
Kurt left soon after with his new friend in a box since he didn't have a kennel. He was a bit teary-eyed since he was leaving his friends and boyfriend for a few weeks, but he hoped having Ralph around would help.
When he arrived at home, Kurt opened the box, "Welcome home."
Ralph stepped out of the box hesitantly. He let out a meow as walked out of the box and over to the sofa. Kurt took out his phone and took a picture of the cat sending it to Blaine. He set his phone down and chose to enjoy the night.
Changing into a pair of pajamas, Kurt put in his first DVD to watch and ordered pizza for dinner. When the pizza arrived, he answered the door and paid the pizza delivery gal. He thanked her and shut the door.
"Are you ready for our party Ralph?" Kurt asked the cat as he walked around his feet. "I suppose tomorrow I will need to go out and buy some things for you." He had only the small amount Blaine's neighbor had given him.
Kurt opened the pizza box and smiled, "A cheese pizza all to myself," he said with a laugh.
The next morning, Kurt woke up to a cat sleeping on his chest, which surprised him. Ralph was quite fond of him, and he was glad to have the company. His phone was sitting by his bed, and he reached over for it.
The screen lit up telling him he had six text messages. Derby had sent him a picture of a sleeping Blaine, which made Kurt's heart melt. He saved the picture and thanked him for it. From Maddie he had gotten a message about how they were doing and the same from Kyle. Rachel sent him a message about how they were and she missed him. She couldn't wait to spend time with Ralph.
Blaine and Kurt had decided to not send to many text messages to another. He had sent a good morning text and a picture of himself and Rachel sitting in a studio.
Letting out a sigh, Kurt looked around his room. He knew he couldn't have gone with Blaine, but he wanted too. They were on their way of recording their first album and he wasn't there. He would be there for their concert in California though. There would be a few other bands playing, but he would only be there for Stereo Outcast.
His phone made a noise, so he looked down and saw Blaine had sent him a message.

You say love is what you put into it
You say that I'm losing my will…
The message confused Kurt because he had never seen the lyrics before. He didn't think it was from a song, so he quickly looked up the lyrics, but nothing came up. Humming to himself, he added some more lyrics to Blaine's.

Don't you know that you're all that I think about?

Oct 8, 2014 11:43 AM
You say that it's hard to commit to it
You say that it's hard standing still
Kurt had to think hard for the next line, and he didn't have time until the next day.

Oct 9, 2014 2:23 PM
Don't you know that I spend all my nights
Counting backwards the days 'til I'm home?
Blaine didn't respond for a couple of days, but Kurt sent pictures of Ralph while he waited.

If only New York wasn't so far away
I promise the city won't get in our way
For some reason that night, Kurt had a rough day. Rachel had decided to stay in California for the full three weeks. So now he was really alone. He also had a long day at work and he had to meet with his group from his class, which none of them did their assigned reading. Nothing else had gone right either, he spilt his coffee on his favorite tie and Isabelle asked him to do the wrong paper work. He was done and just wanted Blaine in his arms.
To Blaine
Oct 12, 2014 2:13 AM
When you're scared and alone,
Just know that I'm already home.
Blaine must have known how he was feeling because he had gotten a picture message from Blaine of his face. Kurt broke down in tears clutching his phone to chest and he played one of the songs Blaine had written for him.
The next day, Kurt received Blaine's text while he was catching up on one of his shows and Ralph happened to fall asleep on his phone. This was becoming a habit for him for some reason.
From Blaine
Oct 13, 2014 1:55 PM
I say that we're right in the heart of it
A love only we understand
Kurt took his time to write another lyric, he wanted to tell Blaine how much he meant to him.
To Blaine
Oct 14, 2014 12:03 PM
I will bend every light in this city
And make sure they're shining on you
Blaine had sent Kurt a text because he had been missing him that day after a long practice.

Kurt had sent Blaine another picture of Ralph that day as well. He came home and found Ralph had tipped over one of the plants Rachel insisted they buy.
The following day, Kurt received his text from Blaine and he couldn't help but tear up when he received it.
From Blaine
Oct 17, 2014 6:46 PM
When life takes its own course
Sometimes we just don't get to choose
Kurt wanted to think about his next few lines to Blaine. He wanted them to mean something special for the both of them. He smiled as he laid in bed that morning writing out the next lyrics.
To Blaine
Oct 18, 2014 8:24 AM
I'd rather be there next to you
Promise you'll wait for me, wait for me
Wait 'til I'm home
From Blaine
Oct 19, 2014 5:34 PM
All I have is this feeling inside of me
The only thing I've ever known
Kurt knew how Blaine felt about him. He loved that even though Blaine had dated, he told him often he has never felt love like he does towards Kurt before. It warmed his heart every time he told him.
To Blaine
Oct 20, 2014 8:49 AM
If only New York wasn't so far away
I promise the city won't get in our way
Kurt held his phone close after Blaine had sent him the text for the day. He had been waiting all day for it. He wanted to curl up with Ralph and just sleep for the night, but he was anxious to receive Blaine's text.
From Blaine

If only New York wasn't so far away
I will be there every step of the way
Kurt was four days away from seeing Blaine, and he couldn't wait. He knew their text messages to one another hadn't been what he thought, but he has enjoyed them.
From Blaine

Just know that I'm already home
Kurt was packing his suitcase, and he found Ralph sitting on one of his coats. He took a picture and sent it to Blaine. He got ready for bed quickly, but found he couldn't sleep because he was so excited.
When morning did come, Kurt gathered his things and said goodbye to Ralph. He hopped on a plane and was in California in no time. When he arrived at the airport, there was a car waiting for him.
"Mr. Hummel?"
"That would be me," Kurt smiled at the man.
"Come along this way," the man waved a hand.
Kurt was excited because he had never had a car waiting for him before, but he supposed it was a perk to having a boyfriend with a recording contract. He was at the hotel dropping off his bags, when he received a text from Rachel telling him was the perfect time to drop by.
When Kurt had a car called to the hotel, he told them to head to the studio and he waited anxiously. After Kurt arrived to the studio, he looked around at the lounge and smiled to the woman behind the counter. "Um hello…"
"Wait, I know who you are," the woman grinned, "You are Kurt Hummel, right?"
"I am," Kurt nodded, "How did you know?"
"Your boyfriend is quite well known around here for just being around for three weeks," the woman laughed. "I swear every chance he got. He was showing us pictures of the two of you."
"I suppose I should be embarrassed, but it's actually sort of sweet," Kurt said to her.
"My name is Mary and if you need anything just let me know," the woman behind the desk said with a smile on her face.
"Actually I am sort of here surprising my friends, if you could point me in the direction of their room," Kurt asked.
"Certainly, just through those doors and turn left. They are in Studio B and made their home there," Mary told him.
Kurt waved at her, "Thanks Mary, I sympathize for what my boyfriend has put you through."
"Don't worry about it," Mary waved her hand, "Run along now and surprise your boy toy."
"I plan too," Kurt said as he turned to walk through the doors Mary had instructed. When he walked through the doors, he turned left and he saw Studio B labeled with a red light on. The sign said not to enter when the light was red, so he waited a few moments before it turned off.
Turning the handle on the door knob, Kurt slowly opened the door and he saw there was Stereo Outcast sitting around with Rachel and a few other men Kurt had not met before. He didn't see Blaine though.
Kurt took a step in the room and soon everyone's eyes were on him. He looked into the sound booth and Blaine was standing there with headphones on. Kurt waved at him, "Hi."
'Kurt,' Blaine mouthed as he quickly threw off the headphones and stumbled out the door of the recording booth. He ran into Kurt's arms, jumping on him wrapping his legs around him.
Kurt had to hold himself up as Blaine latched himself on him, "Hi to you too."
Blaine let out a laugh as he let his legs fall to the ground and pulled Kurt in for a kiss. He pressed their lips together and kissed him harder.
"Hot damn!" Derby shouted.
Kurt pulled away, and smiled, "I missed you too."
Blaine laughed, "Sorry, I just wanted to do that ever since I left."
"Do it anytime," Kurt whispered in his ear.
"Let go of my brother and give me a hug," Rachel said pulling Kurt in for a hug. "Thank you for giving me the push I needed."
Kurt smiled, "Anytime." He was the one to convince her that maybe she did need to stay and work on herself a bit more.
"Come on, let me introduce you to our team," Blaine said excitedly.
After Kurt was introduced to the other guys in the room, they had to get back to work. Blaine didn't leave his side unless he had to and when they were headed for dinner that night, he claimed he wanted to have a date night with Kurt. They went back to the hotel and ordered room service to Kurt's room.
Blaine was half laying on top of Kurt, "I can't believe you are finally here."
"Ralph was not so happy I left," Kurt told him.
Letting out a small laugh, Blaine gently reached up and untied Kurt's tie tossing it to the ground. "I think he will be just fine."
"Do you?" Kurt asked lifting an eyebrow as Blaine's hands moved to the buttons on his shirt. "Aren't you hungry?"
"Yes," Blaine said, "But I haven't seen my boyfriend in three weeks and I am oh so anxious to remember what he tastes like."
"Blaine," Kurt said laughing nervously as he batted his hands away, "I am hungry, can we eat first?"
"Yes," Blaine sighed, "But I think we should eat naked."
"No," Kurt shook his head, "The only food I will eat naked is dessert. You know that."
"Do I ever," Blaine said as he let out a small purr.
Kurt snorted a laugh and then they heard room service at the door. "I will be right back," he kissed Blaine's nose as he got up from the bed.
Blaine rolled onto his back and let out a happy sigh. When Kurt walked in to the room carrying the tray of food, he stared at his boyfriend. "I am so happy you are here."
"Me too, but I'm starving. Let's eat," Kurt said setting down the tray.
They choose a movie to watch while they ate, but as soon as they finished Blaine made sure of his promise and soon had Kurt in his mouth remembering just how good he tasted.
The next day, Blaine was holding Kurt's hand as they walked into their meeting smiling with a large grin. Derby leaned over to Kyle, "Someone got lucky last night."
Kurt sent him a glare, "And someone didn't."
"Yep, he's mine," Blaine said leaning onto Kurt.
Maddie laughed and poked Derby's side, "He is totally jealous."
Blaine pulled his bag off from around his shoulder and set it on the table, "I think it's time to move on from the amazing sex Kurt and I had last night."
Kurt hit Blaine on the shoulder, "What the hell Blaine."
Rachel snorted a laugh, "What do we have on the agenda today?"
The group went through their schedule and found they were still in need of choosing a set list for their concert the next couple of days. They had sound check early in the morning and needed to have their set list finalized.
"We should do newer and older songs that won't be on the record," Kyle commented, "The fans love when we do our older songs."
"Good point," Maddie said and wrote down their ideas.
"I think Kurt and I should do our duet," Blaine said loudly.
Kurt's eyes widened, "Um, what duet?"
"The one we have been writing," Blaine said opening his bag and taking out his song writing notebook. He flipped to a few pages and found their song they had been texting to one another through out the past few weeks. "I have been writing it all down."
Kurt looked over Blaine's shoulder and saw in his notebook was their song written in Blaine's handwriting. The ink colors varied because of different times they had texted one another. He was amazed that Blaine had even come up with some music notes on the side.
"We haven't even sung it out loud together before," Kurt said to him.
Blaine shrugged, "I've done worse," he said, "And I think this song needs to be heard Kurt. It's a song we wrote together. And it's about love."
"What are you two talking about?" Rachel asked.
"We wrote a song while Kurt was still in New York," Blaine explained.
"Is that why you were so jumpy some days," Kyle commented, "He would be holding his phone like it was the Holy Grail. Now we know."
Kurt shrugged, "I was doing the same thing. I think that's why Ralph started laying on top of it."
"Well let's hear it then," Derby said leaning his head on his hands.
"We still need to practice it," Blaine said, "Neither one of us has had a chance to sing it together yet."
"And we are just supposed to trust the both of you with this?" Kyle asked.
"When have I ever steered you wrong before?" Blaine asked, "Besides our song is amazing because we wrote it together even if it does sound like crap."
"Excuse me," Kurt said.
Blaine sighed, "I'm just saying. We need to practice it and then we will find out."
That day, Blaine and Kurt hid in Kurt's hotel room and practice the song on Blaine's keyboard. They wanted the song to sound as simple as possible. Not many instruments and quiet singing. It turned out they had nothing to worry about, the song sounded amazing and it ended with Blaine and Kurt going to bed feeling more in love than ever.
The next morning when they woke up, Kurt turned his head and found Blaine sleeping on his chest with an arm wrapped around his middle. They were still naked from the night before. He knew he would never want the feeling he had inside to ever go away. It was a thrill every time.
"Are you watching me sleep?" Blaine asked with his eyes still closed.
"Maybe," Kurt smiled.
Blaine opened one eye, "That's creepy."
"It's only creepy if it's someone that doesn't like you," Kurt commented.
"Oh Mr. Hummel, you make me swoon," Blaine said giggling. "I can't wait to sing our song tonight."
"I am actually sort of nervous," Kurt said.
Blaine lifted himself off the bed and moved up the bed, "You are going to be amazing," he kissed Kurt's forehead. "How about we start this morning right with a little time getting to know one another again."
Kurt laughed, "I think we know one another well enough."
"Nope," Blaine said kissing down Kurt's face, "I think we both need a reminder," he said in between his kisses.
Letting out a gasp, Kurt gripped the sheets and groaned, "Blaine."
"So is that a yes?" Blaine asked with a smile.
"It's always a yes you idiot," Kurt laughed pulling Blaine on top of him.
Later on in the day, Blaine was adjusting his shirt when he felt a pair of arms wrap around him, "Hey you."
"Hi," Kurt sighed leaning his head on Blaine's shoulder, "I am glad I can do this again." He kissed Blaine's cheek.
"Me too," Blaine smiled and kissed him back.
"Alright love birds, we need to get down to business," Kyle said, "We are on in two hours and I can't worry about you two penguins stinking this place up."
Rachel gave him a look, "Leave them alone. Are you two ready with your song?"
"Ready as ever," Kurt said, "We practiced it a million times last night."
"I doubt that, I heard sounds that were definitely not singing practice last night," Maddie said with a grin.
"This is why we can't have nice things," Blaine said with an exaggerated sigh.
The concert began and Stereo Outcast was the closing band tonight. They were waiting for their cue with Rachel and Kurt on the side of the stage with them. Kurt gave Blaine a good luck kiss before he went on.
The first part of their set was amazing and went off without a single hitch. They slowed things down a bit, before building their sound again. Blaine grabbed the microphone and talked to the audience.
"Hey everyone, I know you aren't expecting this at all, so here it goes. I am going to let my friends on stage here take a quick break," Blaine said as Derby, Kyle and Maddie left the stage. The stage hands started moving around some equipment and brought out Blaine's keyboard.
"Over these past few weeks, I was away from the one that I love and it was hard. We made it work by writing a song together, we wrote a few lines every day and it turned into this amazing project between the two of us," Blaine shared. "I want to invite him out here to sing this song with me."
The audience roared out as they watched Kurt step out onto the stage. Some of them knew who Kurt was, so they were excited to see him.
"Hello everyone," Kurt said into the microphone as he sat down on the small bench that Blaine was already sitting on.
"We are going to sing our song Already Home to all of you, we hope you enjoy," Blaine said as he played a few notes on the keyboard before beginning to play the opening notes of the song.
You say love is what you put into it
You say that I'm losing my will
Don't you know that you're all that I think about?
You make up a half of the whole
Blaine bumped shoulders with Kurt, making him smile as he sang to him.
You say that it's hard to commit to it
You say that it's hard standing still
Don't you know that I spend all my nights
Counting backwards the days 'til I'm home?
If only New York wasn't so far away
I promise the city won't get in our way
When you're scared and alone,
Just know that I'm already home
Kurt smiled at Blaine as he gave him a small nod. Opening his own mouth, Kurt began to sing the next few verses.
I say that we're right in the heart of it
A love only we understand
I will bend every light in this city
And make sure they're shining on you
If only New York wasn't so far away
I promise the city won't get in our way
When you're scared and alone,
Just know that I'm already home
Blaine played and sang before letting their voices come together as one to sing their song with one another.
When life takes its own course
Sometimes we just don't get to choose
I'd rather be there next to you
Promise you'll wait for me, wait for me
Wait 'til I'm home
All I have is this feeling inside of me
The only thing I've ever known
Kurt pointed to Blaine and smiled as he sang. He loved this part of the song and they played off one another while they sang it.
If only New York wasn't so far away
I promise the city won't get in our way
When you're scared and alone,
Just know that I'm already home
If only New York wasn't so far away
I will be there every step of the way
And when you're scared and alone,
Just know that I'm already home
Just know that I'm already home
As soon as Blaine sang his last note, the audience let out yells and claps for the couple on the stage. Blaine leaned over and kissed Kurt. And then Kurt pulled Blaine closer to him and kissed him harder than before. He loved his man and he was going to keep loving him for as long as he can.
Blaine pulled away and his eyes were shining bright, "I love you," he whispered.
"I love you too," Kurt said. For a moment he felt they were the only two in the entire concert hall. And he knew Blaine was feeling the same way.
They were interrupted with Derby, Maddie, and Kyle storming the stage once again and finishing their show for the fans.
When Stereo Outcast took the stage that night, they weren't just a band from New York anymore. They were on their way with a recording contract, an album coming out, and fans growing by the numbers every day. They were going to big and everyone knew it. Kurt could not have been prouder in that moment, but he knew there would be more days like this, and he couldn't be more excited for them.
Howdy howdy howdy! Now I started writing this way before Darren Criss stared in the music video (and that seems like forever ago), because I loved the song. And I had this idea floating around in my noggin for a while, so I wrote it.
Not sure what else to say, so I hope you all have a wonderful day, night, afternoon, and all that jazz! Don't forget to tell me what you thought! Peace out peeps!
