"Okay Kurt- step up as close to you can to Blaine, without letting your hips touch."
When Blaine had said "Let's stop by the shop," what he'd really meant was, "I want to get a coordinating tattoo to yours." It led them here, pants undone, underwear pushed down. They were standing in the middle of Brian's room at the shop- their hips an inch apart. Blaine wanted his tattoo to line up exactly right with Kurt's, so that when they cuddled and made love, the puzzle pieces would fit together.
"That's it- hold it right there."
Brian made a few marks with a felt-tip pen on Blaine's skin, and then allowed Kurt to sit in a chair to wait and watch. It was interesting to observe the process instead of being a part of it. He noticed Brian's concentration as he lined up the stencil with the marks on Blaine's skin. Blaine stared hard into the mirror as he analyzed it's placement via the mirror. Next he lay on the cushioned table and stayed surprisingly calm as the needle took its first bite at his skin.
Time moved faster when it wasn't Kurt beneath the needle. Seemingly moments after Brian had started, he was done. Blaine's little heart looked just like Kurt's- except instead of a bee on one half, a sugar molecule was inked.
"Promise you'll spare me the cheesy details?" Brian teased.
"It's just that Kurt is the sugar- the sweetest part of my life. And he calls me 'Sugar,' which I love," Blaine replied with doe eyes on Kurt's.
"That's not too terribly cliché. I guess I'll let it slide," Brian ragged with a wink.
After heading to The Mint for a show and late-night snack, the two arrived home with too much energy to sleep.
"Hey Babe?" Blaine rubbed Kurt's shoulders as they headed upstairs.
Kurt hummed in acknowledgement.
"What would you say to packing a suitcase and taking our Aston for a drive?"
Kurt walked right to bed and flopped back-first into the pile of pillows. "What kind of drive?"
Blaine crawled on top of Kurt and rested chin-hands onto his chest. "A road trip to New York."
Kurt's eyes brightened.
"We could start the drive tonight- just go wherever the road takes us. Any place you want to visit, we'll go. Make an adventure out of it! And when we get to New York, I'll let you be my personal shopper and you can pick out a full wardrobe for me to keep in our New York home."
Kurt nearly interrupted but Blaine kept going, "We'll get you a new wardrobe for the Fall season too. I know how much you love wearing in-the-moment fashion trends."
Kurt just smiled and sighed long and deep. "With a proposition like that, you're going to be stuck with me for forever, you know. I won't ever let you go."
Twirling the engagement ring on Kurt's finger, Blaine smiled serenely and pressed a warm kiss to Kurt's mouth. "That's what he said."
Kurt giggled lightly. "And that's exactly what I want."
