underage drinking, smoking, this chapter was so much fun to write so I hope yall enjoy!


After a scare for Blaine and a pretty intense high for Kurt they both decide to spend the weekend in. They just hang out and have a lazy day on Friday Blaine even lets Kurt give him an avocado facial and they enjoy an at home spa day. Blaine invites Nick and Jeff over on Saturday and they a have a nice kick back drinking only beer and smoking some weed watching the world cup.

On Monday Millie asks Kurt as she's nursing a hangover drinking only coffee for her breakfast. "Are you excited for pride?"

"Pride?" Kurt asks confused looking up from his cellphone and stops texting Blaine.

"Yeah, the huge parade, the iconic and historical stonewall riots, ring any bells?" Millie asks sarcastically looking at Kurt in shock.

"I completely forgot, I've been distracted…" Kurt trails off embarrassed and blushing. "Are we going?" He asks excitedly.

"Uh, yea. Get ready Kurtie we gonna get wild" Millie replies and Kurt laughs.


They relax hanging out for the rest of the day sipping on wine and watching trashy TV. Blaine 'catching up' on work leaves for the day doing crew business checking in every once in a while by texting Kurt. The next day the parade doesn't start till 8 so Millie and Kurt enjoy sleeping in and lounging around being lazy until 5. Finally around 6 Kurt gets dressed up putting a nice blue button up short sleeve shirt with skinny jeans. He waits in the living room watching jersey shore waiting for Millie. She walks out wearing a black tank that says 'love know no bounds' in a rainbow font and tiny shorts.

"Uh- wow." Kurt comments blushing at Millie's outfit. "Please don't bend over I don't want to see you're ovaries." He says covering his eyes and she spins.

"I'm not finished!" Millie's scoffs and goes into the closet by the kitchen and pulls out a rainbow tutu.

"Oh thank god" Kurt sighs and laughs at Millie's unimpressed look.

"C'mon Kurtie we gotta go if we want a spot!" She says pulling him up from the couch. "Where's Blainers?" she asks surprised she hasn't seen him all day.

"On a run, crew business." Kurt says grimacing and Millie nods frowning. "He'll meet us later." He adds confidently.

"Well, vamonos! Andale, andale" Millie says shooing Kurt out of the door.

"Millie why Spanish?" Kurt questions confused why she majored in Spanish in Columbia.

"Spanish is the third most spoke language in the world and once that's learned Portuguese, French, and Italian is a breeze. Learn one learn the basics for them all." Millie says grabbing onto Kurt's hand as they walk out her apartment complex so she doesn't lose him in the crowd.

They walk about ten blocks before getting to the restaurant Millie made reservations to watch the parade at. It's next to a club playing a loud mix of techno and rap music. They sit down on the edge of the patio and order appetizers. Millie whispers something into the waitress ear and she nods. Kurt checks his phone to look for a text from Blaine and he feels hands cover his eyes.

"Guess who?" the stranger whispers into his ear.

"Ummm? Adam?" Kurt jokes and laughs at the growl. "I'm kidding Blaine" he says and pulls the hands off of his eyes. He turns around and kisses the pout off Blaine's lips.

"Ugh you guys are disgustingly cute." He hears coming from behind Blaine and he pulls away to see Jeff and Nick holding hands wearing white t-shirts that say "I'm here with my boyfriend"

"Jeff, Nick!" Kurt exclaims surprised and goes to hug them. "I haven't seen you guys in forever."

"Business is tough, love." Nick says and Jeff rolls his eyes.

"He's just saying that cuz he doesn't have any other excuse." Jeff tells him and sits down next to Kurt with a huff.

"Babe, don't start" Nick scolds him and Jeff just rolls his eyes and takes a chip from the appetizers eating it moodily.

The waitress comes around with a large blue hookah and sit it in the middle of the table with three hoses. Blaine perks up and takes a hose and inhales the smoke making then hookah bubble. He lets the cool smoke out in a stream and smiles. He hands the hose to Kurt and Kurt looks at it confused.

"It's just Tabaco babe. You inhale it like a cigarette." He says and Kurt grabs the hose and inhales slightly. The feeling is different than a cigarette. It has a fruity taste and the smoke doesn't feel as heavy as a cigarette or weed. He lets out the smoke and hands the hose back to Blaine.

"What's in this Mills?" Nick asks with a hose in his hand handing it to Jeff.

"Apple, and some vodka I gave to the waitress." She smiles exhaling the hookah smoke through her nose.

"Speaking of vodka." Blaine says grabbing two small bottles of peach ciroc giving one to Kurt and the other one to Millie. "Drink up!"

Kurt and Millie open their personal bottles as Jeff and Nick grab their own bottles of alcohol from their stash and Blaine opens his bottle of grey goose.

"To a wild pride!" Nick cheers and they all cheer in agreement and take a shot.

They enjoy the chill atmosphere of the restaurant and smoke out of the hookah as they wait for the parade to start. They drink and enjoy the platter of food the waitress brings them to keep them from getting too drunk.

"C'mon babe let's go party" Blaine says finally feeling the alcohol and gets up pulling Kurt with him going to the place right next to the patio playing loud techno music. They dance on the sidewalk getting into the music laughing and being crazy. After a couple songs Blaine stops and they lean on the barricade against an empty spot by the street.

"The goal is to get as many beads as possible." Blaine explains when they see the parade start and the loud techno music behind them keeps going. Kurt just nods and keeps on dancing enjoying the beat.

The parade starts and it's amazing. People of all races, religions, pasts, and places are united right here, right now in the spirit of pride. He feels tears in his eyes never having such a strong feeling of acceptance and joy but he blinks them back as he holds his hand out for beads.

It becomes a fun competition between him and Blaine to see who can get the most beads. He smiles and winks flirting at the guys making some guys blush and others wink back. He would feel bad but he sees Blaine smugly grin and lick his lips making guys raise their eyebrows in suggestive question and bite their lips.

It's all fun until a guy comes up to Kurt and flirts with him making Blaine jealous and he grabs Kurt by the waist as the guy walks away. Kurt rolls his eyes and kisses Blaine to placate him and then goes back to flirting. He's going to win.

The parade goes on for a good while and he gets goodies and beads. When the parade is almost done Blaine grabs his hand and they walk back to the patio where Millie is with Jeff and Nick. They sit and eat some more and drink some more.

"Well, well, well. It looks like someone having fun." Jeff comments and pulls on all the beads Kurt has on. Kurt laughs and leans against Blaine feeling tired.

"No, no. The night is young. You still a little bit less than half of your bottle to drink and I know Blaine has more." Millie tells him and he nods eating some food to get his energy back.

He has a small rainbow tattoo that he caught and he wants on his face. He places the temporary tattoo on his cheek and wets a napkin with some water and presses it on. He waits a minute and pulls away the paper.

Blaine just laughs and kisses it. "Having fun?" He asks.

"Yes" Kurt laughs, grabs the rest of his bottle, and takes two more shots. They smoke some more from the hookah and chill out a little before going back and dancing.

As the parade is ending Blaine notices a break in the barricade and pulls Kurt through. They hold hands as they walk along with the parade. Whenever they get by a float with music Kurt and Blaine throw their beads and dance. It's insane and fun and on whole another level of crazy but it's their thing. They walk with the parade to the very end and walk back stopping to dance to some samba music twirling and shaking their hips.

When they get back to table Jeff and Nick are making out and Millie is talking to a cute girl in a crop top and short shorts. They don't question it, they smoke a little bit more, and finish eating. The music stops playing and people start to leave. They stay bit longer drinking and having a good time.


Around midnight they start walking back to Millie's taking Nick and Jeff with them so they could crash at Millie's and not drive. Four blocks down and they see a tattoo parlor and Kurt tugs on Blaine's arm.

"I want a tattoo." Kurt says with a slight slur.

"Baby you're drunk" Blaine replies and Kurt stubbornly get out Blaine's hold and walks into the parlor by himself. With a sigh Blaine follows him and tries to talk him out of it but drunk Kurt is stubborn Kurt and trying to get Stubborn Kurt do something is like pulling teeth.

"I want a tattoo and you can't stop me." Kurt tells Blaine and goes around looking at the art on the walls trying to figure out what he wants. Blaine talks him out of getting a huge butterfly only once he agrees to get one himself. He settles on a smaller butterfly on his hip and Blaine gets the word Courage on his arm feeling inspired by the parade.

"Why a butterfly? What does the butterfly mean to you?" Jeff asks confused as to why he would get a typically feminine tattoo.

"Hope, being a free spirit." Kurt says sitting in the waiting area leaning on Blaine. "I never really knew I wanted one, but I feel so free here in New York. I've never felt this way." He says and Jeff smiles widely and pulls him into a hug.

"You're so sweet, don't let Blaine ruin that." He whispers into Kurt's ear

"Hey!" Blaine protest and Jeff and Kurt giggle. They wait about an hour before two tattoo artists are free and they go to the tattoo area. Feeling a little nervous Kurt grabs onto Blaine's hand and Blaine squeezes it reassuringly. They're lucky enough that one tattoo artist moves his station and works on Blaine next to Kurt.

"Owww, ow, ow, ow, ow owww." Comes in a constant stream from Kurt as Blaine lets him hold onto his hand and squeeze. But once the endorphins come in Kurt feels better and makes conversation with the tattoo artist. They sit together for a little over two hours as the tattoo artist outlines the tattoo and then colors it. Blaine is done sooner than Kurt and sits by him waiting for him to be done.

Millie, Nick, and Jeff are outside smoking weed waiting for them. They pay and leave Kurt snatching the blunt from Jeff and taking a couple hits hoping it will numb the pain. They all laugh at him and walk back to the apartment.

"I hope you know that Burt is going to kill you and then me if he ever sees it." Millie tells Kurt and he freezes. He completely forgot about his dad.

"Fuck" He whispers and Blaine laughs hysterically at the wide-eyed look on his face once he realizes what he did.

"I think you've been hanging around Blaine a little too much." Nick laughs and Blaine punches him in the arm. "Ow fuck" he winces rubbing his arm and Jeff pulls him into his arms and kisses it.

They get to the apartment and let out a sigh of relief. Nick and Jeff crash on the couch, Millie goes to her bedroom, and Kurt and Blaine cuddle and kiss softly until the fall asleep.


"What the fuck!" Kurt wakes up in shock remembering what he did last night. He runs to the bathroom disturbing Blaine and he pulls down his PJs and groans when he sees the bandage. "Oh god my dad is going to kill me." He groans putting his face in his hands.

"Hey you were the one that pulled us into that parlor babe." Blaine says from behind him and kisses his shoulder. "And what your dad doesn't know will not kill him."

Kurt nods and then closes his eyes the hangover catching up to him. He goes back the bedroom and lays on the bed. "Oh, god. Never again."

"So next year?" Blaine asks sarcastically and Kurt groans and throws a pillow at him.
