Love in the Air

AN: Hi everyone! I'm really sorry for the delay with this chapter, school has been insane and I don't have much time to write. I probably will only be posting once a week until everything calms down a bit. This chapter is also shorter than I would like *sigh*

Thanks for the reviews, I tried to add more fluff into this chapter, so I hope it worked! :)

Disclaimer: I do not own Glee, American Airlines, or anything else that looks familiar.

Chapter 12:

December 25th 2018:

"So you really aren't going to tell me where we are going?" Kurt asked as he opened the door to the car.

Blaine took off his scarf and threw it into the back seat before shaking his head, a few snowflakes falling around him. "Nope. I told you it's a surprise. It would defeat the purpose if I told you."

Kurt let out a sigh and buckled his seat belt, "Fine, but just for future reference I hate surprises."

"No one hates surprises." Blaine scoffed as he sat down in the driver's seat and shut his door, sealing out the frigid air.

"I do. Hate them all."

Blaine turned to look at Kurt as though he was crazy, because right now it seemed like he might be. "So if I were to send you, say…a dozen rose at some random time… you wouldn't like that?"

Kurt scrunched his eyebrows, "You would do that?" he whispered quietly.

"Well, not that exactly because you already know about it…but yeah. I'd that for you."

Kurt's shoulders dropped and turned to look out the window. Blaine watched him, and after a few seconds of silence, "Kurt? I don't have to; I mean if you don't want me to I won't."

"No one's ever done something like that for me before. That's why I've always hated surprises because they've always been for someone else, never for me." Kurt said the words slowly because what started out as a simple statement about hating surprises had turned into something much more than that.

"Kurt," Blaine reached over and held Kurt's face in his hands, his thumb gently rubbing over Kurt's jawline, "I would love you surprise you all the time. If you'd like me to."

After a few seconds Kurt went back to his usual sassy self, "Well I guess that would be alright. My favorite flowers are daisy's, I hate dark chocolate but milk chocolate is wonderful...none of the Hershey's crap."

Blaine laughed and leaned forward to kiss Kurt, "I'll keep that in mind, but for now why don't we see how this surprise goes first, okay?"


Blaine drove the rental car through the streets of Lima as Kurt sat silently in the passenger seat. The sun had long set and the streets were only illuminated by the head lights from the car and an occasional street lamp. Kurt reached over to hold Blaine's free hand which was resting on the arm rest. The pilot looked over and smiled at Kurt before turning his attention back to the road.

Blaine followed the directions that Jeff had given him from Santana; apparently their destination was a place that Santana had frequented as a teenager.

After ten minutes, Blaine took a right and headed up a gravel road. Kurt was curious as to where Blaine was taking him but held his tongue and instead enjoyed the time that he got to spend with his boyfriend. The weather was quickly clearing up and flights would once again resume. Blaine and Jeff would head back to LA while Kurt and Santana spent another day in Lima before their flight left for New York.

"We're here, Merry Christmas Kurt" Blaine said quietly. Kurt looked out the windshield and realized where Blaine had taken him. It was a spot that he had always dreamed a guy would bring him to, just like in the romantic movies he loved to watch. The car was parked at the top of a hill looking down on the city lights of a snow covered Lima beneath them.

"This…is amazing Blaine." Kurt couldn't decide where to look, his boyfriend or out the windshield at the amazing view. He settled on Blaine's face which was softly illuminated by the light of the full moon over head.

"I'm glad you think so because this is your Christmas present. I didn't really have time to go buy you anything and Santana said this was something you always wanted to do-"

Blaine's rambling was cutoff as Kurt leaned across the seat to kiss him. "It's prefect, thank you."

Blaine nodded and leaned in to kiss Kurt again before he unbuckled and got out of the car, he rummaged around in the trunk for a second before walking over towards Kurt's door and holding it open. Kurt got out and followed him to the front of the car where Blaine laid out a blanket on the hood before climbing up and patting the space next to him.

"One second." Kurt finally understood what Santana meant about bringing his present in case a situation arrived for him to give it to Blaine. There was no doubt in Kurt's mind that Santana and Jeff were behind this.

Kurt returned to the front of the car a minute later and moved to sit by Blaine who draped a blanket over their legs and wrapped an arm around Kurt's waist, holding him close.

"Merry Christmas" Blaine whispered into Kurt's ear, kissing his cheek.

Kurt smiled softly at Blaine, reaching up with his free hand that wasn't holding the present to cup Blaine's cheek, "Merry Christmas to you too." Kurt leaned in and they kissed as the city lights gleamed bellow them.

Once they separated Kurt placed his present into Blaine's lap, "This is your present."

Blaine looked between Kurt and the present before slowly opening the bag. He removed a small bottle of champagne along with a circular tin. Blaine placed the bottle into Kurt's outstretched hand before removing the lid off the red and green tin. Nestled inside the gold tissue paper was a small chocolate cake covered in chocolate frosting. Raspberries were placed in a decorative arrangement on the top.

"Kurt," Blaine said quietly, looking at his boyfriend with pure love in his eyes, "Thank you, this looks delicious, can I share with you?"

"I sure hope you plan to!" Kurt joked reaching into his pocket and pulling out two forks. Blaine accepted his and took a piece of the cake holding it up for Kurt to eat.

Kurt rolled his eyes at the chivalrous action but opened his mouth and took the piece of cake. Blaine leaned in and kissed away the small bit of chocolate frosting on the outside of Kurt's mouth.

They took turns feeding each other until the cake and sipping the small bottle of champagne until both were gone. The sky had cleared and the stars gleamed brightly above them, providing the perfect amount of light. They kissed and star gazed until the warmth beneath the blankets began to fade. Only when their fingers and toes were numb did they slide off the hood and head back to the Hummel-Hudson residence.


"Look who it is! And don't you two look a little disheveled?" Santana commented on Kurt and Blaine's ruffled appearances as soon as they entered the house. She and Jeff were the only ones there, Burt, Carole, Finn, Rachel and the twins were still at the Berry's. Blaine set the blankets Carole had lent him on the ground and Kurt moved to the kitchen to place the cake tin and champagne bottle in the sink.

Blaine merely smiled and winked at Santana before sitting down on the couch and waiting for Kurt to get back from the kitchen.

"You shouldn't be talking. Do you know how many times you showed up to work in a much more frazzled state?" Kurt said with a smirk as he sat down on the couch next to Blaine, leaning into the warmth of his boyfriend.

"Yeah, yeah, we all know of my escapades, it's not my fault that pilots look so damn sexy with those uniforms on. I'm sure you agree Kurt." Santana watched with enjoyment as Kurt blushed, flipping her off.

Blaine looked down at Kurt, his cheeks and adorable shade of pink, "You think that the uniforms are sexy?"

Kurt sent another glare to Santana, "I think a lot of things are sexy."

"Such as?"

Kurt leaned over to whisper in Blaine's ear, much to Santana's annoyance. Blaine smiled and whispered something back causing Kurt to blush harder.

"Jeff!" Santana shouted towards the stairs where the blonde was talking to Nick. "Get your ass down here! I need you to help dispense the sweetness in this tiny room from the merry-husbands before my damn teeth fall out!"

Kurt picked up a pillow and threw it at Santana only to have her catch it and throw it back at him just as fast.

"Are they being adorable lovebirds again?" Jeff cooed walking into the living room looking much happier after his talk with Nick.

"What are you two? Middle schoolers? Who talks like that?" Blaine looked between Santana and Jeff. Kurt chuckled quietly beside him.

"Screw you Blaine!" Jeff shouted, grabbing a pillow from the other end of the couch and throwing it at Blaine only to have Kurt bat it away.

"No thanks Jeff, I'm taken. And I'm sure Nick wouldn't be too happy if you cheated on him."

Jeff stuck his tongue out before collapsing onto the couch by Kurt's feet.

"I'm surrounded by children" Santana muttered under her breath, loud enough for the men to hear.

Blaine, Kurt, and Jeff all glared at her as she held up her hands in surrender, "Just keepin' it real."

Kurt sighed, "Well, since we are all here why don't we make our schedules for the month. I know Blaine and Jeff have to leave on the 27th and we leave on the 28th."

As much as they dreaded having to do so, they all reluctantly agreed. Jeff, Blaine and Santana all wandered off to different places in the house to fetch their computers. Kurt reached over to get his off the coffee table where he had left it earlier. A few minutes later they were all in their previous positions, laptops open.

After trying every possible combination they found a time when Kurt and Santana could have a three day layover in LA, only problem was that it was two weeks away. Kurt would stay with Blaine and Jeff offered for Santana to stay with him and Nick.


The rest of the Hummel-Hudson family returned later that night. Rachel and Finn both walked into the living room with an armful of Justin and Melody who were fast asleep. Burt and Carole were carrying the presents.

Kurt, Blaine, Santana and Jeff were still awake speard across the living room talking. When Rachel and Finn decided to go to sleep, Kurt and Blaine decided to follow.

Thankfully, after much graveling and promises of numerous favors, Santana reluctantly agreed to sleep on the air mattress with Jeff so Kurt and Blaine could share the bed.

"I'm going to miss you" Kurt whispered, his pale fingers twisting in the curls around Blaine's ear.

The two were laying side by side, legs tangled together under the blankets.

Blaine reached over and took Kurt's hand from his cheek and intertwined their fingers, kissing each of Kurt's fingers. "I'll miss you too, but we'll be fine. We can call and text and before you know it the fifteen days will be over and we'll be together again."

Kurt offered a weak smile and though Blaine's words offered him some hope, they both knew it was going to be difficult. But when Kurt looked into Blaine's hazel eyes, gleaming in the dim lighting, he knew it was worth it, what he and Blaine had was worth it.

"Plus I get to show you LA, and you get to meet Nick, and we can go see-" Blaine was quickly cut off by Santana.

"If you two don't shut the hell up I will come up and throw one of you out of that damn bed and force you to sleep with Goldielocks you hear?" Santana hissed, her voice rising from the floor to the bed where Kurt and Blaine were both biting their lips, and trying not to laugh.

They both stared at each other, "Good night Santana. I love you." Kurt's comment was met with a grumble and the sound of Santana rolling over on the air mattress.

"Good night Kurt" Blaine breathed the words against Kurt's lips before pressing a soft kiss.

"Good night Blaine." Kurt returned the kiss before snuggling into Blaine's chest. Wrapped in each other's arms they slowly fell asleep, worries about what may happen in the future forgotten and pushed to the back of their minds.

There you have it. Has anyone seen the Big Brother promo? I don't want to spoil anything but feel free to send me a PM if you'd like to freak out with me. :)

Thoughts? Did you like the presents? (No additional questions this time, shocker right? Crap that was a question. I'm going to shut up now :))
