PARTY! December 31st- January 1st
"It's party time!" Shane shouted throwing open the door to Kurt's room and dancing around in small circles. Reed giggled when Shane grabbed his hand so the two of them were dancing together to a silent beat.
"Really Shane, it's like" Kurt rolled over onto Blaine who let out a huff at the sudden weight, to look at the clock, "10 in the morning. People aren't getting here until 7 tonight." Kurt rolled back over but stayed cuddled against Blaine.
"Yes, but we still have a lot to do!" Shane exclaimed.
"Like what?" Reed and Kurt asked at the same time.
Shane sighed, "Like wake up Frankenteen-"
"He will wake up on his own" Kurt interjected which earned him a glare from Shane who continued speaking, "And decorating-"
"Done"
"And preparing the food-" Shane practically growled trying to come up with something.
"Done, everything is in the fridge; we only have to put the chips in bowls and the pizza in the oven at 6:30." Kurt smirked, ready to counter anything Shane said.
"Ugh! Fine, can you two please at least get up!" Shane whined, "There is only so much Reed and I can do for entertainment when there are people in the house!"
"Shane!" Kurt and Reed shouted at the same time. Reed's face was red from embarrassment and Kurt dropped his head into his hands.
"TMI Shane!" Blaine grumbled burying his head into the pillow.
"Why don't we get coffee?" Reed quickly asked trying to divert everyone's attention from Shane's last comment.
Both Kurt and Blaine raised their heads at the same time, making Shane laugh.
"Sure besides I want to see this barista that keeps hitting on Blaine, put her in her place." Kurt had his best bitch face on.
"Oh god please, I will love you forever! I mean- I already love, but I would love you more- well I wouldn't-" Kurt turned around and pushed Blaine into the pillows silencing him with a kiss.
"Can you please stop sucking face with my brother so we can leave?" Shane said impatiently.
Kurt kissed Blaine for another minutes just to annoy Shane before pulling away and getting up.
"You can leave now Shane, we'll be down in 10 minutes." Shane opened his mouth to say something. "And yes we know that you will come back up here and drag us downstairs if we are late."
Shane's face dropped as Kurt said exactly what he was going to say. Reed laughed, kissing his cheek before grabbing his hand and leaving the room.
"That's her" Blaine whispered to Kurt as they walked into the Lima bean, Reed and Shane following them and talking about a jacket Reed wanted to design.
"Don't worry. I've got this." Kurt squeezed Blaine's hand and kissed his cheek before turning his attention to the barista that had been pining after Blaine. She wasn't ugly, quite the opposite actually, and Kurt was surprised she was going after a gay guy when it looked like she could get any straight man she wanted. She had light brown hair that fell to her shoulders, soft green eyes and a round face, though she batted her eyelashes a little more than necessary.
Kurt walked up the counter with Blaine by his side. He waited until the girl was looking over at them, and Kurt knew he didn't like this girl as soon as she started raking her eyes over Blaine.
"Ahem" The girl looked up to Kurt, who had pretended to clear his throat, and she raised an eyebrow in response, waiting for him to speak. "I'd like a grande non-fat mocha and a medium drip for my boyfriend here." Kurt leaned over and kissed Blaine's cheek before fixing his stare back on her.
"Um, sure." She stuttered, quickly typing in their orders. "Anything else?"
"Blaine?" Kurt smiled at him sweetly.
Blaine shook his head "Nope, I'm good" before pecking Kurt on the lips. "All I need is you and my coffee."
"Oh god that was cheesy." Kurt laughed.
Blaine grabbed Kurt's waist, "It was but you love it" he fixed his hazel eyes on Kurt's flushed face.
"Nope, I love you" Kurt couldn't help but notice how the barista lowered her eyes.
"I love you too." Blaine quickly pecked Kurt before releasing him, "now hurry up and pay so we can go discuss our outfits for night." Kurt couldn't help but laugh as Blaine walked down to the counter to wait for their coffees. He handed the barista the money which she quickly took before directing her attention to Reed and Shane behind them.
"Well I don't think she will be bothering you anymore." Kurt commented swinging their hands between them as they grabbed their drinks and went to sit at a table while they waited for Shane and Reed.
"Thank you." Blaine said sincerely as possible, his eyes shining with love "plus that was fun, you're usually adverse to PDA but I could definitely get used to it." Kurt smiled back and squeezed his hand sipping his coffee "Don't flatter yourself sweetie."
Reed and Shane joined a few second later and the four debated who would get drunk first. Blaine was convinced that it would be Wes and David but Kurt assured him that it would be Santana and Puck.
After an hour they left and returned to the house.
Burt and Carole had left, and a note was lying on the counter reminding the boys about the rules for the evening. Finn wandered down at some point in the afternoon and the Kurt made a trek through the house to ensure that everything was in place. He made sure to lock the door to the laundry room to avoid anyone messing with Dalton. Kurt internally cringed at the idea of his drunk friends around the small bunny.
As planned everyone started arriving at 7pm. Wes, David, Nick, and Jeff were the first to arrive, having carpooled together from Dalton. Mercedes, Sam, Tina, and Mike arrived next. By 7:30 pm everyone except for Puck had arrived, though Kurt was expecting this. They were all gathered in the living room, the New Directions chatting with the Warblers when Puck finally arrived, timeliness was never a specialty of his.
"Yo, Kurt man. Where should I stash the goods?" Puck asked, a huge grin spread across his face.
Kurt rolled his eyes and detached himself from Blaine's side. "We'll put it in the kitchen, follow me."
"Can we please do karaoke now?" Rachel asked when Puck and Kurt returned from the kitchen, bouncing up and down in excitement, hands clasped in front of her.
Everyone expressed interest except for Santana who muttered something about not being drunk enough.
"Sure, Rachel but we decided to change things up a bit." Kurt said with a mischievous grin on his face. Blaine stood and grabbed his hand, eyes locking with Kurt's. Blaine looked away to address everyone in front of them. "First of all you will all be singing in pairs, which are as follows; Wevid, Niff, Samcedes, Finchel, Brittana, Tike, Quick, Rane, and Klaine. Artie you can join whatever group you want or go solo."
Everyone nodded, so Kurt continued where Blaine left off. "Now the catch is that you don't get to pick the song, instead you get to pick from a hat. Whatever song you get, you sing."
"Please tell me you didn't let Blaine choose all of the songs?" Jeff pleaded.
"What is that supposed to mean Jeff?" Blaine asked, crossing his arms.
"Oh please Blaine, your iPod is Katy Perry and Maroon 5." Wes stated from where he was lying on the floor by David.
Blaine was about to retort that he did have a broader taste in music than that but Kurt spoke before he could. "Alright, no, Blaine did not choose all the songs, and I like your taste in music." Blaine shot him a grateful look.
"Alright white boys. I'm down with this karaoke plan, but who goes first?" Mercedes asked.
Blaine and Kurt looked at each other, not sure what to say. Santana rolled her eyes and grabbed Brittany's hand, pulling the blonde off the couch. "Oh don't worry Doll Face and Hobbit McShortpants." Blaine raised an eyebrow at the nickname, and threw a pillow at Shane who cracked up laughing. "Brit and I will get this party started."
Kurt handed the hat to Santana whose eyes lit up when she read the song title on the slip of paper. She whispered into Brittany's ear who giggled in excitement once she heard the song title, and they moved to the make shift stage area where the karaoke machine was. Kurt and Blaine cuddled on the couch, waiting to see what the song was. After a few seconds the opening notes of the song started.
Brittany stepped forwards and began to sing.
Hot and dangerous
If you're one of us, then roll with us
'Cause we make the hipsters fall in love
And we've got hot-pants on enough
And yes of course because we're running this town just like a club
And no, you don't wanna mess with us
Got Jesus on my necklace
As Santana took over the next part of the song, Blaine and Shane glanced at each other, smiling and grabbing their boyfriends, pulling them up to dance. By the time the chorus started everyone was dancing and singing along.
The ending notes played and everyone clapped as Santana and Brittany bowed. "And that is how you get the party started!" Santana said kissing Brit's cheek.
The next two hours passed with everyone taking turns and singing. The highlight was when Nick and Jeff had to sing "Barbie Girl" and everyone laughed as the two pranced around the living room flirting with the girls.
"Alright you two," Rachel motioned to Kurt and Blaine as she and Finn moved from the 'stage' after singing "You're the one that I want", "it's your turn." All the New Directions and Warblers cheered.
"Alright alright." Kurt moved over to the hat and pulled out a slip of paper.
"I think we can sing this." Kurt said showing the song title to Blaine. "Artie you mind helping us out?"
"Oh we got this." Blaine agreed, kissing Kurt's cheek before starting the music. Artie wheeled himself over to the corner of the karaoke area, waiting for his part. Blaine stood to the side and motioned for Kurt to sing first as the opening notes played.
I know you want me
I made it obvious that I want you too
So put it on me
Let's remove the space between me and you
Blaine slowly walked over to Kurt so by the time it was his turn to sing they were standing directly in front of each other.
Now rock your body
Damn I like the way that you move
So give it to me, oh oooooh…
Cause I already know what you want to do
Everyone was dancing around the living room as Blaine and Kurt sang the chorus together.
Here's the situation
Been to every nation
Nobody's ever made me feel the way that you do
You know my motivation
Given my reputation
Please excuse me I don't mean to be rude
But tonight I'm loving you
Oh you know
That tonight I'm loving you
Oh you know
That tonight I'm loving you
Oh you know
That tonight I'm loving you
Blaine and Kurt took turns alternating the lines and singing the chorus together dancing around the living room.
Artie took over the rap for the song
ARTIE!
Tonight I'm gonna do
Everything that I want with you
Everthin' that you want
Everything that you want I wanna honey
I wanna stunt with you
Artie continued to rap as Santana grabbed Kurt so he and Blaine were dancing with her and Brittany. Everyone's hips were moving to the beat, laughing and smiling.
As soon as Artie finished the rap Blaine and Kurt took over the last part of the song, singing the last line as their friends clapped and cheered. Blaine tugged Kurt closer so they were pressed together, breathing quickly, and kissed Kurt. Kurt responded instantly, moving his hands to Blaine's curls. They kissed for a couple seconds, ignoring the catcalls from Puck and Santana.
Kurt was the one to break away, pressing another kiss to Blaine's lips before turning to look at his friends. "Who's hungry?"
The question was met with a rush of answers from the teenagers. Wes and David climbed over the couch trying to reach the food in the kitchen before Sam and Puck did. Everyone else moved to the kitchen at a much slower pace and grabbed plates of food before returning to the living room. Kurt turned on the New Year's Eve special before squeezing into the space between Blaine and Mercedes.
Blaine leaned over and kissed Kurt's forehead before eating the food on his plate.
Once it was a few minutes until the ball dropped, Blaine set his and Kurt's empty plates on the coffee table and stood up, grabbing Kurt's hand to pull him off the couch.
"Blaine what-?" Kurt began to ask but was silenced when Blaine put a finger on his lips.
"Just come with me." Kurt raised an eyebrow in curiosity but allowed his boyfriend to lead him out of the room.
Blaine didn't say anything until he and Kurt were standing outside on the porch, looking out over the snowy backyard.
"Blaine what are we doing out here? It's freezing!" Kurt moved his hands over his arms in an attempt to warm himself up. Instead Blaine pulled him into a hug, and Kurt instantly relaxed against his boyfriend's warm body.
"It's almost midnight." Blaine stated, kissing the top of Kurt's head.
"Yes it is" Kurt agreed slowly, still unsure why they were outside.
"I wanted to be romantic by taking you out here away from everyone." Blaine glanced down at his watch. The change in Blaine's tone caught Kurt's attention immediately so their eyes were locked. "Kurt there is thirty seconds left of this year, and it has been the best year of my life…because I met you. You stopped me on the staircase at Dalton and in that one second, that one moment, my life changed for the better." Kurt smiled at the familiar Wicked lyrics. "I meant what I said….you move me Kurt."
Blaine paused as he heard their friends begin the count down inside the house.

"I love you-"

"And I want to say goodbye-"

"To the most wonderful year-" Blaine squeezed Kurt's hands.

"And hello to the New Year"

"Which is?" Kurt asked, a smile already forming on his lips and the chilly air around him forgotten.

"Like this-"

And Blaine leaned in, pressing his lips against Kurt's as their friends inside the house began to cheer. Blaine cupped Kurt's check and tilted his head to deepen the kiss. After a few seconds Kurt pulled away briefly to rest his forehead against Blaine's their breath meeting in small clouds between them.
"I love you Blaine" he whispered as their lips grazed each other.
"I love you Kurt" and the small distance was once again removed. They continued kissing into the New Year for a few more seconds before a voice brought them back to the snowy backyard.
"Hey guys, sorry to interrupt" both Kurt and Blaine looked towards the house where Jeff's head was poking through the glass door. "But Puck has opened the alcohol and it's about to get crazy."
Kurt laughed knowing only too well what Jeff was talking about. "Ok, thanks Jeff, we'll be in in a second." The blonde nodded and closed the door again.
Kurt's eyes met Blaine and they both smiled, "Happy New Year's Blaine" he said, kissing Blaine again "Happy New Year's Kurt."
Blaine sighed, and wrapped his arm around Kurt's waist as they walked across the porch and to the glass door, before joining their friends inside.
"Let's play truth or dare!" Nick shouted from the top of the coffee table, stumbling slightly before he fell into Jeff's arms and began feverously kissing his boyfriend.
"Okay, so we were both wrong, Nick is the first one to get drunk." Kurt said to Blaine as they moved to join the circle that was forming in the living room. Finn and Puck had moved the coffee table Nick had just been standing on out of the way so everyone could sit in a circle.
"Rules?" Tina asked.
Everyone looked to Santana knowing she would be the one to choose. "No rules, and you only get one chicken." A few people cheered to that. Puck took one of the beer bottles he had already drained and set it in the center. "I believe Rachel should start."
The brunette huffed but moved from her spot in the circle to spin the bottle which landed on Wes. "Wes, truth or dare?" She asked the Warbler.
"Please let it be something good." Blaine whispered into Kurt's ear, the two boys were sitting in front of the couch, and Kurt was leaning against Blaine's chest, their hands intertwined around Kurt's middle.
"Knowing Rachel it will be something stupid." Kurt replied, shifting so his head was rested in the crook between Blaine's neck and shoulder.
"Dare" Wes said confidently.
Rachel pretended to think for a second, "You have to sit on David's lap until it's your turn again."
Wes rolled his eyes before moving to sit on David's lap. "Hi David"
"Hi Wes." David said laughing.
Wes leaned down to spin the bottle and everyone cheered as it landed on Nick who started to bounce up and down. "Truth or dare?" Wes asked.
Nick hiccupped "Dare, and make it good sir Wesley!" Wes leaned back to whisper in David's ear who nodded at his suggestion.
"Okay, first of all, no more alcohol for you. Jeff it's time to cut off your boyfriend." Jeff pried Nick's fingers off the cup he was holding and handed it to Brittany. "Now, Nick your dare is to pick everyone's spirit animal."
"Okay, okay!" Nick was bursting with excitement and turned to Brittany who was sitting next to him. "Britt-Britt is a gazelle, Santana is a python" the Latina raised an eyebrow. "Mikey is a dragonfly, Tina is a butterfly; Finnster is a t-rex." Nick stopped to fake growl before continuing. "Rachel is a blue jay. We-" Nick was cut off by Rachel.
"Excuse me but why am I a blue jay?" She demanded.
Her outburst didn't faze Nick who simply answered "Because you won't shut up" before continuing, leaving Finn to comfort his girlfriend. "Wesy is a kangaroo, David is a manatee." Wes fell forward onto the ground laughing while David sulked at Nick's choice for his spirit animal. "Quinny is a leopard, Reed is a mouse, Shanster is a gopher."
Reed snorted before collapsing in a fit of laughter. "Shane… is a … gopher." He managed sputter before falling again clutching his side. Nick also joined in laughing, and Jeff grabbed him.
"Why don't you keep going Nick" The brunette nodded, "Okay, Shane is a gopher" he repeated which only made Reed laugh harder. "Okay, you are also cut off." Shane moved Reed's drink and placed it on a shelf.
By then most of the New Directions and Warbler were laughing. "Okay, I'll continue." Nick took a deep breath "Artie is a duck, Puck is a tiger-"
"You got that right." Puck said flexing his arms.
"Sammy is a whale, Mercedes is a zebra, Blainey is a puppy-"
Kurt turned his head and smiled at Blaine "It's true" and kissed him before turning back to Nick.
"Kurt is a…um… Jeff what is Kurtie's spirit animal?" Nick asked. Jeff looked down at his boyfriend whose face was scrunched in concentration, like he was thinking really hard.
"I GOT IT!" Nick shouted, Reed squeaked in surprise and sat up from his fetal position and went over and crawled into Shane's lap, "I love you, even if you're a gopher" he whispered.
Shane laughed at his drunk and clingy boyfriend, "I love you too, mouse."
"Kurtie is an artic fox!" Nick shouted, clearly pleased with himself.
"What about you and Jeff?" David asked, peering around Wes who was once again sitting in his lap.
"Jeffers is a koala and I'm a seagull." Nick said before collapsing back into Jeff tired from having to give everyone an animal.
"Okay then" Mercedes said, rolling her eyes at the Warbler, "Nick why don't you spin the bottle."
"Jeffers can you spin the bottle?" Nick asked yawning. Jeff spun the bottle which landed on Kurt.
"Kurtie truth or dare?" Nick asked.
Kurt glanced quickly back at Blaine, "Dare"
"You have to sit on Blaine's lap for the rest of the game." Nick smiled to himself very pleased with his dare.
Kurt snorted, "Um Nick, I'm already sitting in his lap."
"Oh" Nick sat up, trying to think of another dare. "Um, okay, cuddle with Mercedes."
"Gladly" Kurt said smiling at Mercedes who was sitting next to him. Kurt moved so he was pressed against her side but he kept one of Blaine's hands tightly held in his.
It was around 2 in the morning when Kurt decided that it was probably time for everyone to get some sleep. At this point Tina, Quinn and Rachel were also drunk along with Nick, Reed, Wes, David and Puck. They had played truth or dare for another hour before stopping to tell embarrassing stories, which is why they were all currently sprawled around the living room. Blaine and Kurt were laying on the main couch, Nick and Jeff on the love seat. Everyone else was sitting or lying on the floor.
"I'm going to get some blankets for everyone." Kurt told Blaine as he stood up.
"Do you want some help?" Blaine asked sitting up.
Kurt shook his head, "I'll be fine, besides you need to keep the couch for us."
Blaine smiled before lying back down with a yawn.
Kurt distributed the pillow and blankets to everyone, before turning off the lights and weaving through his sleeping friends to get back to the couch.
A hand reached out to grab his waist and Kurt found himself pulled down before he was pressed against another body. Kurt inhaled the familiar scent and snuggled into Blaine.
"Good night Kurt, I love you." Blaine whispered quietly, not wanting to ruin the perfect moment.
Kurt pressed a sweet kiss to Blaine's lips, "I love you too."
As Blaine held Kurt, his mind drifted back to the last 14 days of the year that he was able to spend with the most amazing boy in the world. Together they had celebrated old traditions and made new ones, they had spent time with friends, family and with each other. It was the memories filling Blaine's head that reminded him that although he was only the boyfriend of Kurt Hummel, he was a part of a family and for once he was home, home with the Hudmel's.
I hope you enjoyed this last chapter and once again thank you to everyone who followed this story. I have a new story that I am writing called Love in the Air. Kurt is a flight attendant and Blaine is a pilot. I'm still working on the Jackson one-shot and it will be posted by Tuesday.
Thanks again! :)
