Kurt followed, squeezing through the two tree's as well. It opened out into a small sort of clearing, with one large tree in the center of it. The tree's around the clearing were very close together and all leaning in wards into the space, making Kurt feel as though he was in some sort of bowl.
"Wow," He said, looking around with a clearly impressed expression, "...Are we still in Lima?"
Blaine laughed, light and care free, "I know, doesn't feel like it does it?" He grabbed Kurt's hand excitedly and pulled him further into the space.
"It feels so far away from everything," Kurt smiled, he looked up at the large tree in the middle in awe, "Oh my God, is that tree house? And a tier swing?"
Blaine blushed a little and nodded, "Not really a tree house, it's just a platform with an old fence around it."
"Did you build it?" Kurt asked, glancing up at the structure.
It was about half way up in the tree, and was large plank of wood that was sanded down smooth, it was rectangular and was big enough for two people to sit cross legged next to each other pretty comfortable. The platform had a wooden fence around three sides, the front left open.
"Me and my Dad, I managed to convince him after a few days," Blaine nodded, "I don't think anyone else knows about it,so it's my own special place."
"It's so cool, is it still safe?" Kurt asked, glancing up at it.
Blaine shrugged, "Only one way to find out."
Kurt's eyes widened, "No! No Blaine don't..."
Blaine tugged on the tire swing which was held up by a thick piece of rope, and tied to a branch above. He grabbed with both hands and hung from it, swinging back and forth, "Seems to be."
"Blaine get down, please," Kurt panicked, moving forward so he could hold Blaine steady, "Come on."
"Kurt, calm down it's fine," Blaine laughed, swatting him away. He stood on the top of the tire and reached up to the branch.
"Blaine, no. No get down come on, please," Kurt begged looking up at Blaine with terrified eyes.
Blaine rolled his eyes, "Kurt I'm not going to fall, really."
He pulled himself up onto the branch reaching out for the next and next until he was able to reach the platform and climb up onto it.
"For God sake, Blaine at least hold onto the side," Kurt winced, his hands clenching and unclenching at his sides.
"Honey, breathe. It's fine, really," Blaine reassured him.
Kurt glared at him, "Are you trying to give me a heart attack?"
"Kurt's it's safe, I promise. Come up here with me?" Blaine asked, flashing Kurt a charming grin.
"I don't know if I can," Kurt shook his head, eying the path that Blaine took to get up to the platform.
"Please sweetie? That views amazing up here," Blaine looked out across the trees, "I wanna share it with someone I love."
Kurt's cheeks flushed, "O...Okay, I'll try."
Kurt's hands were shaking as he reached forward for the tire, "You're sure it's safe?"
"Of course, I wouldn't let you up here if it wasn't."
"R...right," Kurt nodded, biting his bottom lip and lifting himself up onto the tired. He squealed as it rocked back and forth, clinging onto it for dear life.
"Come on Baby, you can do it. I promise," Blaine cooed gently.
Kurt's eyes were squeezed tightly shut, "Is this a good time to find out I hate heights?"
Blaine laughed softly, "It's okay. Come on, it's not that hard. I promise."
Kurt's blue eyes opened and and took a deep breath before he reached out for the branch above him, pulling himself up onto it before he grabbed hold on the trunk of the tree with both hands as though he was hugging it, "Okay," He breathed.
"That's it, Kurt you're so amazing," Blaine called, "Just a little further, just like I did okay?"
Kurt nodded, "Okay," He agreed, reaching out for the next branch.
After a lot of squeals and cries Kurt found himself reaching out for Blaine's hand as he pulled him up onto the platform, Blaine lost his balance and Kurt fell on top of him with a huff.
"Crap, I'm sorry," Kurt apologized, scrambling to get up, but Blaine kept him close.
"No problem," Blaine chuckled a little, brushing a lock of hair away from Kurt's face.
Kurt smiled at the gesture, only just realizing how close they were. Their faces were only a few inches apart and their chests were pressed tightly together. Blaine's arm was draped lightly over Kurt's waist and his other hand was cupping Kurt's chin.
He placed light kisses all over Kurt's smooth skin before he joined their lips. Kurt kissed back gently, lips sliding over lips. Blaine pulled Kurt's bottom lip into his mouth, sucking on it gently before he pulled away.
Kurt grinned widely, "What was that for?"
"For climbing up here, I'm proud of you," Blaine explained softly, he paused and a mischief glistened in his eyes, "And you look positively delicious."
Kurt's cheeks flushed and he pressed a final kiss to Blaine's lips before he rolled off of him. They scuttled around on the platform until they were sat comfortably next to each other at the edge, their legs dangling over the side. Kurt sat griping the fence with one hand as he looked out over the view, while Blaine swung his legs back and forth.
"Wow," Kurt breathed, gazing out over the trees and buildings in the distance.
Blaine just smiled, grabbing Kurt's free hand with his own and entwining their fingers together, "You're more beautiful then any view."
Kurt ducked his head, his cheeks on fire.
Blaine chuckled, bringing Kurt's hand to his lips and placing a kiss there before he looked back out.
"So only me and you really know about this place?" Kurt asked, chewing on his bottom lip a little.
Blaine nodded, "Yep. Our own special little heaven."
Kurt rested his head on Blaine's shoulder, "Thanks for sharing it with me."
Blaine let out a small sigh, resting his own head on top of Kurt's, "I wouldn't with anyone else gorgeous."
"I love you."
"I love you too," Blaine lifted his head, and Kurt did the same.
Their lips met again, sweet and slow and Kurt's hand moved from where he was still griping the fence nervously to lock tightly in Blaine's hair, pulling him closer. Blaine let out a long sigh against Kurt's lips before he pulled away, pressing small kisses to the corners of Kurt's mouth.
Kurt let his hand trail down over Blaine's tan skin, nudging his cheek against Blaine's affectionately.
"This is our place now," Blaine whispered softly, his eyes sparkling as he looked at Kurt, "Forever and ever."
Kurt smiled, "And ever and ever?"
"And ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever," Blaine paused to take a deep breath, "And ever and ever..."
"Okay, okay," Kurt giggled, pushing him away playfully, "Can you imagine if we lived here?"
Blaine raised an eyebrow, "Honey, I know it's pretty. But I'm not living in a tree."
Kurt laughed, "No. No, I'm not talking about living like Tarzan," He rolled his eyes slightly, "I meant if we brought the land and built a house down there," He pointed to the floor beneath them.
Blaine's eyes widened, "Oh my God, I'd never thought of that."
Kurt smiled, "We'd have to keep this tree obviously."
"Yeah, then our kids could play on it."
"Are you crazy? My kids are not playing in a tree. Do you want them to fall to their death?" Kurt exclaimed.
"They'll be fine, we are aren't we?"
"I'm only up here because you're too charming for your own good," Kurt pursed his lip.
"Aw, Kurt come on. Think about it, our child sitting right up here with their partner. Just like we are now," Blaine painted the picture, "While me and you are down in the house cuddling on the sofa."
"...and then we hear a hell and a scream and our son spends the next three weeks in hospital," Kurt finished firmly, "They are not playing up here Blaine."
Blaine pouted, "What if I'm up here with him?"
"Yes Blaine, I'm sure he'd want you up here when he's with his girlfriend," Kurt rolled his eyes.
"Why not? I'd be an awesome Dad," Blaine defended.
Kurt smiled, "I know that Blaine, but you know what teenagers are like."
"No, not really. What are we like?" Blaine asked, pulling his legs up onto the platform.
Kurt smirked, "I love my Dad more then anything, and he's amazing. But I wouldn't want him up here right now to make sure I don't fall, when I'm spending the day with you."
Blaine paused for a second, "Okay, point taken...What if we put a bunch of like trampolines or mattresses around the bottom of it?"
"What?" Kurt asked, looking at Blaine like he was crazy.
"What if we put them all around the base of the tree, then they'd have a nice soft landing and be perfectly fine," Blaine suggested.
Kurt just sighed and shook his head, he pulled his knee's up to his chest looking a little sad.
"Hey, what's up?" Blaine asked trying to pull Kurt closer to him, but he just shook his of.
"I just wish all that could happen," Kurt shrugged, "A house and kids and...a life. You know, together."
Blaine bit his lip, "Kurt..."
"I know, I know. Don't thinking about it, I'm sorry. It's just not something I can forget easily," Kurt grumbled.
Blaine nudged Kurt's shoulder, "It's okay. I think about it all the time," He said softly, "I'm just trying to make the most of the time we have."
"I'm just angry," Kurt suddenly burst out, "Angry at the universe for finally giving me something, someone to make me happy, and then just taking you away again."
"Maybe it'll be okay. Maybe it'll all work out," Blaine said hopefully.
"How? How can it possible be okay Blaine?" Kurt snapped.
Blaine winced, "I don't know, I don't...sorry."
Kurt sighed, burring his face into Blaine's shoulder, "I'm sorry, I'm not angry at you," He apologized, his voice a little muffled by the fabric of Blaine's sweater, "And I'm ruining our day."
"No your not," Blaine disagreed, "Come here."
The two crawled to the back of the platform so they could lean against the fence, they melted into each others arms, sharing sweet kisses and tender smiles as the sun began to set around them. The sky was filling with streaks of red, orange and pink. A flock of birds flew across the fiery sky, an organized shape of tiny black dots flew further away from them, just like the dreams they knew they could never have.
