So sorry everyone! Believe it or not, it's actually harder to update now that I'm home rather than when I was putting off studying for my finals LOL! My family just got a brand new puppy and he is literally the cutest thing ever and I've been having to take care of him when my parents aren't home. That and, since I'm moving in less than 2 weeks this is all the time I have to spend with the little guy :(
This chapter also took a little bit to update because I was just not very happy with the last chapter and I know there were a few of you who agree. There just wasn't enough Klaine...so in this chapter I really got in your face with Klaine-ness. Therefore, I hope you enjoy it :)
It may be harder for me to update the rest of the week. I HAVE to clean my room. It looks like a tornado blew through it so I am going to be organizing EVERYTHING. (Kill me now) So please sit tight! Trust me, I WANT to keep writing this story. I never imagined it would be so much fun to keep writing and all of your reviews just bring me so much joy. Think of it this way, though...In 2 weeks I will actually BE in DISNEY so my writing may get even more accurate haha. Also, it is my new roommate's birthday on the 8th of January and to celebrate we're going to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter...for Blaine's sake you may WANT me to wait until I visit it! (I almost got to go before it opened but Universal sucks ass...long story) Not making any promises, though. They may not be able to fit a visit in with their schedule.
What else did I wanna say? Oh! I ordered the pink sunglasses that Darren wears...they arrive tomorrow XD!
That should be it for housekeeping notes haha. Hope you all enjoy this chapter. It's a long'un.

The duo left the amphitheater and headed to the next country over, which was Italy. "What do you say to getting some lunch?" Blaine asked as he looked at his watch. It was now 2:30.
"I could really go for like, a pizza right now." Kurt said, putting a hand on his stomach as it growled.
"You're in luck! Because that's exactly what I was going to take you for." Blaine wrapped his arm around Kurt's waist as they entered the Italy pavilion. There were pink and yellow stucco buildings and a miniature version of the bell tower from St. Mark's square in Venice. In the middle of the courtyard was a (rather random) marble, circular platform and behind it an incredibly scaled down replica of the Trevi Fountain. Even further back was what appeared to be a brand new building. It was a yellow stone building, three stories tall with dark wood windows and red awnings. Across the front in large letters read PIZZERIA RISTORANTE and on the awning that shaded the front entrance were the words Via Napoli.
When they entered, it was quite busy as it was the lunch rush and a brand new, highly rated restaurant but it would only be a fifteen minute wait for the two of them. Kurt marveled at the interior design. In the foyer there was a colorful blown glass chandelier and three giant walls of glass windows and the same dark wood from outside, so he could see into the restaurant. On the left, was the kitchen and Kurt could see three large stone faces in the brick wall. These appeared to be the ovens that the pizza was baked in. A chef was artfully tossing some dough in the air, just like in the movies.
The couple were soon called to their table as they entered the main dining hall. From in the foyer, Kurt couldn't get an accurate idea of what the restaurant looked like but as they were led to their seats he was able to take in more. In the very center of the restaurant there were incredibly high vaulted ceilings with diagonal wood paneling. There was a table in the center which stretched almost the entire length of the room and golden lights hung the entire distance from the ceiling to only a few feet above head height. The wall to their right had a gorgeous blue vista painted on it, but appeared to be pealing away to give it that old world charm. In the back of the room, which was where they were being led to, were posters of different Italian destinations, underneath large semi-circular windows and an orange and gold sponged ceiling. In low light, this would have been a terribly romantic setting.
They took their seats at a table for two as they began to look over the menu. Again, Kurt was shocked at the expense that Blaine was willing to pay for the two of them. Blaine could see the apprehensive look on Kurt's face as he glanced at the prices on the menu.
"Babe, how many times do I have to tell you not to worry about it? You're worth every penny." He placed a hand on one of Kurt's, gazing adoringly into his eyes. Blaine had the power to melt Kurt faster than a snowman in a furnace when he said things like that paired with that adorable look. He was convinced that Blaine would never take no for an answer. Still, where the hell was he getting the money to pay for all of it?
A few moments later their waiter joined them to get their order. Blaine insisted that Kurt order the house special Limonata, which was $5 a glass, as he ordered the special Blood Orange concoction.
Finally Kurt had to ask what was on his mind. "Did you rob a bank?"
Blaine spit out his water that he had taken a sip of, laughing. "What?"
"How are you paying for this trip? Like, I know your parents must have money to send you to Dalton and all but I'm sure they didn't give you any to pay for all of this."
Blaine took another sip of his water and set his glass down. "Don't worry about it, ok?" He returned to looking over his menu.
"Why won't you just tell me?" Concern, more than anger or annoyance was growing in Kurt's voice.
Blaine set his menu down. "I didn't want you to get angry." Blaine was fidgeting nervously with his hands. He wasn't even looking Kurt in the eyes.
This time Kurt put his hands on Blaine's to stop their jittery movements. "Whatever it is, I'm not going to get mad."
Blaine took a breath, exhaling loudly. "I'm not supposed to be using this money. Not yet anyway." Kurt looked at him, waiting for him to say more. Blaine reluctantly kept going. "It's supposed to pay for my college tuition when I do eventually go to college."
"Won't your parents know?"
"Nah, they have no idea we're even here. Besides it wasn't their money in the first place. I actually inherited it from my grandfather when he passed away three years ago. He wanted me to go to Yale which was his alma mater so he gave me the money to pay for it."
"So what are you saying? You don't want to go to Yale?"
"I don't know where I want to go." He paused as he thought about his next words, "I just know I want to go wherever you do." He blushed a little.
"Are you suggesting that I can't get into Yale?" Kurt looked offended.
"What? No! What I mean is," his voice got instantly sweeter, "after I met you, I decided I was going to take a year off before going to college. That way you and I would be in the same graduating class." Kurt was at a loss for words, "I mean, think about it. Wouldn't that be nice?" Blaine grabbed Kurt's hands and began to caress them, "you and I... making our schedules fit together... helping each other with our homework each night... sharing a dorm..." The last suggestion he said with a hint of seduction in his voice.
Kurt had to admit, the prospect of him sharing a room with his boyfriend, where nobody could interrupt them if they needed to be alone had merit. Yet he still didn't speak up.
"Like I said. You are worth every penny and every moment of my time. God, Kurt," he said, his heart racing a mile a minute, excitement coloring his voice, "I mean, you walk in any room and instantly it lights up. When I'm with you I get weak at the knees and my heart beats as hard and as fast as a drum. Like right now," he took one of Kurt's hands that was already in his and placed it on his pounding chest, "feel that? I never want that feeling to go away. You make me feel alive."
Kurt was stunned. He sat there across from Blaine, his right arm outstretched as it rested over Blaine's heart. Blaine was still holding his hands over it, breathing as if he had just run a marathon. He knew that Blaine loved him but he had never heard him express himself with such conviction, with so much passion. Everything that Blaine had just told him was now buzzing around inside his head and he quickly lost his composure.
"Beautiful, what's wrong?" He returned their hands to the table, resuming in caressing them.
"It's just," he took a deep breath, his cheeks stained with tears, "you go to such great lengths to show me how much you love me and I feel like I can never do the same for you."
"Sweetie, in time you will show me in your own way how much you love me. But for now, I just know by the way you are getting so emotional that you do love me as much as I love you. If not more so."
At that point their drinks had finally arrived. The waiter looked a little uncomfortable returning to them now as he could see that Kurt had been crying. Timidly, he asked for their order. Blaine ordered a large pepperoni pizza for them and the waiter left from what he thought must have been an awkward moment.
"You wanna go to the bathroom?" Blaine asked with care.
Kurt nodded and got up from the table, heading to the restrooms in the back so he could wash his face. When he got in the room, Kurt looked at himself in the mirror. His face was bright red and there were trails from where his tears had fallen. Gently he splashed water onto his face, then dabbed at his eyes with a dry paper towel. His eyes were still a little puffy, but otherwise he looked presentable. He couldn't help but think what he did to deserve such an amazing boyfriend. He was sure, if there was a God, he had made a mistake and that Blaine was actually meant for someone else. That's when Kurt made a realization. Quickly he left the restroom, taking his seat across from Blaine.
Without any kind of prompt, Kurt suddenly asked, "do you believe in destiny?"
Blaine sat silent, a little taken aback by the abruptness of the random question.
Kurt began to explain, "I didn't used to. That is, until I met you. Do you remember how we met?"
Finally Blaine spoke up. "How can I forget? You looked like a little lost puppy when you grabbed my arm and-" He abruptly stopped talking. Now he understood.
"I grabbed your arm, Blaine. You. Of all the people that were scurrying past me. Then you took my hand and we ran through that beautiful corridor. I can easily say that was the moment I fell in love with you. Everything happened in slow motion. We got to the senior commons and you let go of my hand because as it turned out you were the leader of the Warblers. And you are like 2% of gay men at Dalton. I mean, what are the odds? I'm not saying there's a God but something brought you and I together that day and I am more than willing to say that we are destined to be together forever." Kurt was panting. He had spat out this information so quickly he wasn't even sure it made sense.
Blaine considered what Kurt had said carefully, then slowly spoke up. "Kurt darling," he began, "I think you just proved that you love me as much as I, you. And to answer your question, yes, I do believe in destiny because I've felt the same way ever since you touched my arm for the first time."
This made Kurt smile a huge grin, thinking about how they both realized at the same moment that there was a connection made between them.
The pizza arrived and they began stuffing their faces. It was quite possibly the best pizza Kurt had ever eaten in his life. "You know why this pizza is so damn good?" Blaine began, "they import their flour from Italy. And the water used to be imported too until they found a spring here in FL that had the same PH balance as one in Italy. Basically, this is the most authentic Italian pizza you will ever have in the US."
"I take it that's why it's also so damn expensive?"
"Yeah, pretty much." Blaine chuckled, grabbing his third slice. Kurt took his third as well, savoring every flavor. "This pizza is also kickass when it's cold." Blaine said, shoving the cheesy goodness into his mouth.
"I guess we'll get to have some tonight then because I am stuffed and there's still two slices left."
"Hells yeah!" Blaine said, his cheeks full of pizza. Kurt thought he was so cute like that, so he leaned over the table and pecked Blaine on the lips, which he happily accepted, still chewing the pizza.
After paying for lunch, the pair took their leftover pizza and left the restaurant hand in hand. The next country on their tour was Germany. They strolled through the stores, looking at the glass and crystal work and the Christmas ornaments. Kurt recognized a Christmas tree covered in glass pickle ornaments and excitedly told Blaine what it meant, (it was pretty much the only thing he knew that Blaine didn't on the entire trip.) Then they made their way into the most dangerous shop of all... the candy store. The couple easily spent about twenty minutes and $50 in the store, leaving with two bagfuls of gummy frogs, worms, coke bottles, and bears as well as three different varieties of chocolate bars.
Next they entered China. The round, ornate pagoda stood at the back amidst koi ponds. They wandered to the very back, where nestled a store which sold traditional chinese products such as jade statues and jewelry, rugs, and women's cheongasms. There wasn't much to see there, so they made their way to the next country which was Norway.
In Norway, Blaine pulled Kurt along to the Maelstrom ride. There was no wait and the pair was shuffled into a boat, sitting in the very front. The ride started and the boat began to climb up a hill as a light sparkled at them and a deep voice could be heard saying, "you are not the first to pass this way. Nor will you be the last." The boat made its way past scenes depicting Norwegian settlers and polar bears, then all of a sudden they were greeted by a dead end and some pretty ugly looking trolls. The trolls sent them backwards down a hill as they raced past more scenes of Norway. They were greeted by the trolls one more time, as the back of their boat peeked out of the building, visible to the people in the courtyard below. Again, they were sent forwards and after passing a random oil rig, the ride was over and they were inside a quaint Norwegian fishing village.
They were cornered in this room for a bit because there was a film being shown in the next one, so they took the time to find an empty bench in the back and sit together. They sat close, Blaine had his left arm around Kurt's shoulder, his right hand was intertwined with Kurt's in his lap as they stared at one another adoringly. Blaine took one of Kurt's hands to his face and gently kissed it. Kurt couldn't handle all this romance. Blaine's eyes were smoldering and they sparkled under the low lamplight. If they weren't in public at this moment, Kurt would surely have tackled him right then and there. "So are you enjoying yourself?" Blaine asked softly. He rested his forehead against Kurt's.
"More than I enjoy singing." was Kurt's response. Blaine seemed pleased because Kurt could sense a smile growing on his face, his warm hand squeezing Kurt's tighter. Eventually the doors to the theatre swung open. The boys groaned as they accepted the fact that they had to get up. They decided to skip the film and headed into the store.
In the toy room, children were sidling up next to a giant carving of a troll. While Kurt stood transfixed on the sight, Blaine took the opportunity to rummage in a toy bin. After grabbing the things he needed, he snuck up behind Kurt and placed a plastic helmet on his head. "What the?" Kurt spun around to see Blaine pointing a foam sword at him, also wearing a plastic helmet and carrying a shield. He tossed Kurt another foam shield and a foam axe and the pair playfully chased each other around the small store, ducking behind displays as they tried not to bump into small children and their parents. Kurt was pretty sure he heard Blaine growl at him at one point as he ran behind a book shelf. Slowly, Kurt made his way to the other side, careful not to make a sound as he dramatically barreled the edge of the soft axe into Blaine's back.
Blaine reached out his arm in pretend pain, collapsing on his stomach. He slowly turned himself over so that he was now facing Kurt, who was hovering over the dying man's body. As Blaine gasped for his last breath, he lunged the foam sword into the crevice between Kurt's arm and side, finally dropping his arms back, lolling his head to the side. Now it was Kurt's turn to die dramatically. He clutched at his heart and toppled forward, his head on Blaine's stomach, arms dangling on either side.
There was a beat and Blaine turned his head slowly. Kurt sensed the movement and opened his eyes a crack. Then the duo burst out into a hysterical fit of laughter as Kurt pushed himself up off of his boyfriend's body. He reached down for Blaine's hand and pulled him up as they dusted themselves off. People were staring at the childish adults but they were having so much fun that they really didn't care. They ended up purchasing the toys and in the back of Kurt's mind he wondered if they could be used for something else later. He looked over at Blaine who had a devilish grin on his face and understood that he was thinking the same thing.
The final country of the day was Mexico. It was 6:30 and the sun hung low in the sky. They climbed the stairs of the giant stone temple and into the sliding glass doors. Kurt found the inside of the building absolutely amazing. It was nighttime inside, well, outside. Strings of lanterns hung from faux buildings on either side of a good sized marketplace. A mariachi band was playing in the back and there was a charming lamplit restaurant on the water, watched over by a temple not unlike the facade they had just walked through.
Blaine tugged at Kurt's fingertips as he led him to yet another boat ride. This one followed the adventures of the Three (well, two) Caballeros as they searched for Donald Duck. The boat floated through scenes of Mexican destinations and celebrations. It really wasn't anything spectacular which Blaine had admitted halfway through the ride. But it was another one of those "wind down" rides that you did just to relax. Plus it gave Blaine another excuse to put his arm around Kurt and Kurt was never one to put up an argument about that.
They exited the ride and the building as Blaine realized they had forgotten about their FastPasses for Soarin'. They made their way to the other side of the park, taking their time as it was only 7:10 and the fireworks didn't start for almost another two hours. When they arrived inside The Land pavilion, they made their way back down the stairs. There was now a 3 hour wait for the ride and Kurt understood why these FastPasses were such a great thing. They passed by hundreds of other people who were in a lower queue as Kurt watched them play games using their bodies to pass the time. There was nobody else in the FastPass line and they were immediately ushered forward, heading towards Concourse 2. Kurt had no idea what to expect. From where he was in the line, he could see what appeared to be three separate staging areas. A Cast Member in a blue suit with red trim Sent Blaine and Kurt to the first row of the second staging area, which seemed to excite Blaine.
"We've got the best seat! Wait until you see this." he said, his eyes bright with wonder. They entered the next room and Kurt saw that it was one giant ride, three units, in front of a huge concave movie screen which took up the entire height and width of the room. The room was already dark, much like a movie theatre but there was a little light on the floor as they made their way to their seats in the middle of the row.
"Best seats because we're in the middle right?"
"That and because we won't have feet in our face. It will feel like we're really flying!"
Kurt swallowed, "I'm sorry what?"
"Kurt, it's like nothing you've ever experienced before. You just have to wait and see," Blaine assured. They buckled themselves in and the ride ceiling lowered on the entire row. In one quick movement, the entire row was lifting in the air. It felt as if they were sitting right there on top of the screen. Clouds parted and the music started dramatically and they were, for lack of a better word, soaring over the Golden Gate Bridge. Then they were gliding over a river and some white water rafters in the Redwood forrest. Scenes of vineyards and the coasts of California rushed by and were replaced with scenes of snow capped mountains and waterfalls. Then Kurt heard a hissing sound as they passed over some orange groves. "Do you smell that?" Blaine leaned over, taking a whiff of the air. Now Kurt smelled it too. Oranges! The ride rocked back and forth, moving as if they were really over these locations, the wind rustling their hair. The music swelled and finally they came to a nighttime view of Disneyland as a parade was going on. They flew over the castle and fireworks began to take over the sky, one particularly large one caused the ride to pulse as if by force. As the fireworks faded, the ride returned to its loading and unloading position and everyone exited the ride.
"So?" Blaine took Kurt's hand as they were leaving the ride, entering into the long hallway.
"Amazing. I honestly didn't know what to expect."
"I told you. Ok, we have one more ride we have to do before the fireworks." They left The Land with a mass of other people. The sun was now completely set as they quickly made their way to the center of the park.
Kurt realized where Blaine was taking him. "The golf ball? There's a ride in there?"
"Spaceship Earth and yes! It's a great one, too!" Once again, there was no wait as the pair made their way up the ramp and were greeted by a Cast Member who told them to watch their step as they made their way into a slow moving green vehicle. A touchscreen prompted them to put in where they were from as Blaine gave Kurt the honors. He touched an area on the map near Lima as the screen then prompted them to look up at the camera and smile. Blaine threw down his pink shades and made a surprised face and Kurt, having now been given the honors to pose for his photos as well, slid his hand across his hair, looking utterly unfazed. His signature move.
There was nobody else on the ride in front of or behind them, so Blaine took this opportunity to get extra comfortable with Kurt. Normally there would have been about a six inch gap between the two riders, but Blaine pulled Kurt over to him, practically having him in his lap. Kurt laid his head on Blaine's chest, listening to a mixture of Blaine's heartbeat and Dame Judi Dench's narration. Meanwhile, Blaine began to stroke Kurt's arm, slowly letting his fingers travel lower and lower down the boy's body. He lifted Kurt's head and planted a kiss on his soft lips. It was tender and warm and felt a little different than the other kisses they had shared. Perhaps because he had a feeling they were being watched on a security camera. But nothing happened, there was no announcement telling the boys to separate themselves and the ride never slowed down. That's when Kurt had a thought. What if they were going to be kicked out of the park when the ride was over? He wriggled a little, partly because of this notion and partly because Blaine was now pressing his tongue against Kurt's lips. Kurt parted his lips, letting Blaine explore the inner workings of his mouth. He still tasted like that amazing pizza. Blaine had pressed Kurt against the wall of the vehicle but they both still remained sitting on the seat. He was now letting his hands venture under Kurt's shirt, lightly stroking Kurt's smooth skin. He was breathing heavily and Kurt was starting to get a little hard. That's when Kurt finally pushed Blaine out of the kiss.
Blaine looked at Kurt a little stunned and slightly out of breath. "What's wrong?"
"I'm sorry, Blaine. We can't do this here. I feel like I'm being watched." He looked to the left as they passed through a scene in a monastery. Oh the irony, he thought.
Blaine simply smiled and kissed Kurt on the cheek, putting his arm around Kurt's shoulder. "How about this?"
Kurt rested his head on Blaine's arm. "This is perfect."
After slowly revolving, the vehicle was now going backwards down a hill. Judi Dench's voice prompted the couple to make their own future using the touch screen. The first question asked what they cared most about. Kurt chose leisure. The next asked if they cared more about their home or their pet when they were away. Blaine chose pet. Next it asked if they wanted to live in the city or the country. Kurt chose city. It then asked if they wanted to travel by solar energy or wind energy in the future, Blaine and Kurt both agreed on solar energy. Finally it asked if they liked to wing it or plan everything out. Again, they both agreed that they prefer to wing it. It took a few moments to calculate their results and soon their video was ready. Cartoon versions of themselves (with the photos they took superimposed on the bodies) came up on the screen as they acted out all of the decisions. The boys were in stitches as they saw their faces and the things that the characters were doing.
"That was cute. Too bad I missed most of the ride." Kurt teased.
"Hey, you enjoyed it." He raised his eyebrows suggestively like he always did to make Kurt weak.
Kurt sighed, "alright. So where do we see these fireworks you've been telling me about all day?"
Blaine got extra cheerful as he led Kurt to what was presumedly his favorite spot to watch from. Right in front of Norway. There was still space against the railing as the two waited for 9:00 to approach. In the meantime, Blaine was leaning against the handrail, he took Kurt's hand at an arm's length and pulled him towards him so Kurt was now straddling his left thigh. He gently placed his hands on the side of Kurt's face, his thumbs stroking his jawline. He straightened himself up and leaned in for yet another tender kiss.
"You are so goddamn horny today," Kurt managed to whisper as they pulled apart.
Blaine made a noise from the back of his throat which Kurt took as an agreement, as he gently kissed his neck.
"Let's save it for the room, okay?" Kurt said, pushing Blaine off of him and giving him a scolding look which said you will listen to me or I will hurt you.
Blaine smirked as he took Kurt's hand and led him in front of him so they were now both facing the lake. He wrapped his arms around the younger boy, placing his chin on Kurt's shoulder. Kurt had his arms wrapped over Blaine's. It was almost 9:00. The torches around the lake were flickering and gave off a heat that could rival the heat between the two boys. There was a deep voice that came from all around them, "Good evening," it began. "on behalf of Walt Disney World, the place where dreams come true, we welcome all of you to Epcot and World Showcase. We've gathered here tonight, around the fire, as people of all lands have gathered for thousands and thousands of years before us; to share the light and to share a story. An amazing story, as old as time itself but still being written. And though each of us has our own individual stories to tell, a true adventure emerges when we bring them all together as one. We hope you enjoy our story tonight; Reflections of Earth."
The torches were all blown out by "the voice" as a single drum beat started slowly, then it got progressively faster like a slow-clap started by a bunch of frat boys until it eventually crescendoed. There was a scream and a starburst of fireworks erupted on the lake. More of these starbursts appeared and then a massive fireball rose from the center of the lake. They were hundreds of feet away but they could still feel the intense heat coming off of the barge. The music sounded almost angry, chaotic, but it was still beautiful. Smaller fireworks were set off with the different staccato notes in the score, joined by the fireball and water fountains. It really was organized chaos. The section of this music was calmed down finally as Kurt saw floating from the opposite side of the lake, a giant spinning Earth covered in LED lights. It made its way to the center of the lake, where the fiery inferno had just come from. The music got somewhat tribal as pictures began to flash across the Earth showing different scenes of nature. Suddenly, the lights on the Earth began to pulse as new images appeared, this time of people in different countries. The music swelled with each new chapter of images on the screen, then from out of nowhere, half of the countries around them became lit up like at Christmas and a half a second later, the other countries were lit as well. This made Kurt's heart start beating excitedly. It was amazing. But almost as soon as they were lit, they sparkled and faded out. The fireworks were back, chasing each other around the spinning Earth, exploding in the sky. Then in a grand fanfare, a multitude of fireworks were sent in the air as every country lit up on cue. Some fireworks seemed to explode and then blanket the sky as they gracefully fell to the water. The music picked up again, shooting hundreds of fireworks into the sky in a dazzling display of color, light, and sound. Kurt actually decided he liked the music more than the fireworks, but it was all pretty incredible.
Just when Kurt thought the fireworks were over and he joined in clapping with everyone around him, Blaine grabbed his waist tighter and began to sing gently into Kurt's ear along with the woman who's voice had now been coming through the speakers.
With the stillness of the night
There comes a time to understand
To reach out and touch tomorrow
Take the future in our hand.
Small torches of light appeared on the lake in a circle around the Earth display in the center. It was so cool how fire could just appear out of the water like that.
We can see a new horizon
Built on all that we have done
And our dreams begin another
Thousand circles 'round the sun
The larger torches that surrounded the perimeter of the lake became re-lit as the woman was joined by a chorus.
We go on
To the joy and through the tears
We go on
To discover new frontiers
Moving on
With the current of the years
We go on
The Earth in the center of the lake was still spinning, but now it was opening up like a shell as another giant torch ascended from the center.
Moving forward now as one
Moving on
With a spirit born to run
Ever on
With each rising sun
To a new day we go on
The torch in the center lit itself as the music dramatically started to reach its climax. A bouquet of white fireworks shot out of the center three times, then as the music finished millions upon millions of fireworks of the same kind shot out of the torch and from other barges around the lake. The sky was so bright that if one closed their eyes, they might have been tricked into thinking that it was daylight. A few more fireworks shot out from the perimeter in front of them and then all at once, a giant explosion of at least fifty large fireworks erupted, shaking the ground they stood on and echoing seconds after they had been detonated.
Now the show was over, and the entire crowd erupted into cheers and applause. Blaine released Kurt's waist, giving him a kiss on the top of his head as they broke apart.
"Ready to go back to the room, darling?" Blaine was eager to get back to their hotel and do something, anything. The things Kurt did to him last night had only whet his appetite and he could hardly control himself. It explained why he had been so hyper all day.
Kurt took his boyfriend's warm hand and the pair made their way back to the monorails and back to their hotel. That's when Kurt felt his phone vibrate. He slipped his hand into his pocket and pulled out his phone to find a text from Mercedes. It simply said, "have fun tonight ;)" Then he got another text immediately after it, also from Mercedes. "Tell me about it when you get home? We leave tomorrow afternoon :("
He slipped his arm through Blaine's so they were still holding onto one another but he could still text back with both hands, careful not to let Blaine read it. "Not so sure about 2night but will let you know when it does happen. Have a safe trip home :)" He sent the text so fast that even if Blaine had glanced at it, he never would have had a chance to read anything. He quickly stuffed the phone back into his pocket.
"Who was that?" Blaine asked casually.
"Uh-Mercedes. New Directions is leaving tomorrow so she was saying goodbye." It wasn't exactly a lie, but he still struggled to say it. His phone vibrated again and he growled a little as he removed the phone from his pocket. It was Mercedes again.
"What do you mean 'not so sure about 2night?' Everything ok?"
What did he mean? Truthfully, he wanted Blaine inside him about as much as Blaine wanted Kurt but he was still feeling some slight trepidation at the thought. Now he was getting scared. Blaine had been dropping hints, well, more like advertising it the whole second half of the day that he wanted to do something more than what happened last night. Today had been so romantic and if it was possible, they had reached an even higher point in their relationship. He didn't want there to be a plateau or worse, an arc that just dissolved into nothing. Kurt thought about it some more and then made his decision. He texted Mercedes back, "Everything is wonderful as usual. Just want it to be special, that's all :)"
Now he had to convince Blaine not to do anything tonight without actually telling him why. He was going to save it all for tomorrow. Their last night in the room together. It was going to be perfect and he would make it up to Blaine in the most romantic way he could think of. He just needed some help.
Wow that took me all day to write. So I hope you all enjoyed it! Please review because they make me so happy!
