And I tell you how easy it feels to be with you
And how right your arms feel around me
But I, I rehearsed those lines just late last night
When I was thinkin' about how right tonight might be
Anticipation by Carly Simon
May
I've got love on my mind
I've got love on my mind
When Blaine hears the first notes of the song, he tentatively opens the bedroom door and palms his cock over his trousers when he sees the vision in front of him. There is Kurt, lying on the bed in nothing but a pair of red bikini pants – not any pants but his red bikini pants. Blaine mentally gives himself a high five for lending Kurt the tiniest pair of underpants that he has with him. Blaine drags his eyes over Kurt's long lean legs that seemed to go on forever. Blaine thinks about how they would feel wrapped around him, and closes his eyes, trying to calm himself down.
"I think you're overdressed for the party," Kurt smirks.
Blaine shyly smiles and looks directly into Kurt's glasz-colored eyes, which are warm and inviting. Blaine slowly undoes his belt and pulls it away from his trousers, placing it on top of the dresser. Blaine then carefully undoes the top button of his trousers and drags down the zipper, licking his lips. He turns to give Kurt a side profile and pulls his trousers down, wiggling his ass.
"You tease… That ass looks even better than I've ever imagined, and trust me, I've imagined it a lot. Get that ass over here before I get up and ravish you on the floor."
When Blaine's eyes return to Kurt's body, he almost cums right there and then, watching Kurt slowly but rhythmically palming his cock over the red briefs. Blaine runs and dives onto the bed, giggling, positioning himself next to Kurt. Kurt gently brushes a few curls off his face and softly kisses him. Even though the kiss is slow and unhurried, Blaine's heart is beating in time to the music.
In your arms I like to be
Caressing you gently and passionately
From sunrise to sunset and all through the day
I've been waiting for your return
And you know this is where I'll be
I can say to the world I learned
Only you can satisfy me, satisfy me
Kurt gently pushes Blaine onto his back and continues kissing his lips and slowly works down his neck. Blaine is thankful that Kurt is taking control, since he's not sure what sexual experience Kurt has. Blaine's ready for everything, but he doesn't want to push Kurt into anything that he's not ready for.
Kurt establishes a rhythm of kissing, sucking, licking, biting, and blowing warm air along Blaine's neck and upper chest. Kurt intersperses his ministrations with comforting words, "I love you Blaine… *kiss*… You're incredible… *lick*… The way you taste… *moan*… I can't get enough of you."
When Blaine feels Kurt's lips and hands caressing his body and hears the loving words, he's overcome with emotions and physical pleasure. He has never felt this loved before.
Kurt returns his attention to Blaine's lips, combing his fingers through his lover's thick locks. Kurt dips his tongue inside Blaine's mouth, first probing everywhere and then sucking his tongue. When Blaine finds it difficult to breathe, Kurt intuitively knows to pull back and gently nibbles on Blaine's lower lip. It takes all of Blaine's strength to stay silent and relaxed.
Kurt pulls Blaine to his side once again, so that they are facing each other.
"Tell me what you want, Blaine."
Kurt says this so sincerely and with such love in his voice that Blaine's eyes start to well with tears. "I want you… Anything and everything. I love you so much."
Blaine closes his eyes and Kurt moves forward and kisses each eyelid. When Kurt gently cups his face with one hand, Blaine gazes up as Kurt gently swipes a tear from his face with his thumb.
"I want anything and everything too. But you have to be a little bit more specific, sweetheart. I want to make you feel good."
"Make love to me, Kurt, in any way you feel comfortable. And if we get that far, I want you inside me, to feel you all over. Is that too much?"
Kurt's hand moves down and squeezes Blaine's ass.
"I want that too. I've never done it before, so you're going to have to tell me what feels good and what doesn't. And don't hold back. Those sounds you make are like my kryptonite."
"Baby, what you've been doing so far feels so damn good."
Kurt smiles and leans in to capture Blaine's lips in another kiss. He then pushes Blaine onto his back and resumes his ministrations of kissing, sucking and licking, and working down Blaine's chest. When Kurt reaches a nipple, he places his teeth on the nub and gently tugs. When Blaine lets out a whimper, Kurt swirls his tongue around and gently sucks. Blaine can't help but groan. No-one has ever spent the time to figure out what turns him on – and this definitely does. Blaine feels his cock throb now that it's fully erect.
"Fuck, Kurt! That feels so damn amazing. The things you can do with your tongue. Don't stop… Don't ever stop."
Blaine can feel Kurt smile into his chest before he continues exploring. Blaine thinks that Kurt is playing him like a finely-tuned instrument, knowing exactly what rhythm to set. Kurt murmurs, "I want you to feel my love all over your body… one inch at a time."
Blaine's heart soars at Kurt's words, because yes, he feels so cherished by Kurt. Blaine has never known that simple touches and kisses could feel this amazingly good. No-one has ever made him feel so loved before, taken care of.
By the time Kurt's mouth arrives at his hips, Blaine feels as if every single nerve in his body is on edge. Kurt dips his tongue just below the band of his boxer briefs, and Blaine can't help but wiggle his ass.
Kurt gets the obvious message and pulls back and kneels, straddling Blaine. Kurt slowly takes off the boxer briefs, and Blaine's hard thick cock bounces up and starts bobbing. A bead of pre-cum forms and dribbles down. Blaine feels Kurt's weight on his thighs, but the silence and inactivity goes on for longer than he expects. When Blaine opens his eyes, he sees Kurt staring at his cock with lust-blown eyes.
"Oh, babe, I've always fantasized what your cock might look like. But wow, nothing's prepared me for actually seeing it. It's so thick… and gorgeous…and perfect. I can't believe that you're all mine."
Blaine preens at the compliments, loving the pet name Kurt calls him. When Kurt scoots down his body, Blaine quickly opens his legs, his heart now pounding even faster. To his surprise, Kurt wraps his hands beneath Blaine's ass and gives it a firm squeeze.
"Baby, you can't believe how many times I jerked off thinking about your ass. I can't wait to fuck it."
Blaine moans at the thought of having Kurt inside him. He growls, "God, Kurt. I want you to fuck me so badly."
Kurt starts nipping at his upper thighs, and Blaine's cock is desperate for any attention. Blaine's hand automatically goes down to give it a stroke, but Kurt slaps it away before Blaine can get any relief. His cock is now leaking and throbbing.
"That's my job," Kurt growls in a husky voice.
"Kurt, I want … I need something… I feel so worked up… I'm going out of my mind… I need more… Just take me…"
Kurt's fingers wrap around the base of Blaine's cock and slowly stroke up to the tip. Kurt's fingers capture the pre-cum and then Blaine feels nothing. Blaine quickly opens his eyes and gawks when he sees Kurt licking his fingers.
"You taste delicious."
Blaine's head falls back onto the pillow, willing himself not to orgasm right there and then at the sight of Kurt tasting his pre-cum. "You're so unbelievably sexy, Kurt. You're killing me here. I need you…"
Blaine's body trembles when he feels Kurt's lips kiss the head of his cock. Kurt then flattens his tongue at the base of his cock and firmly licks the thick vein on the underside to the top. Blaine moans at how fantastic it feels and his hips involuntarily buck up to get more of Kurt's mouth. Kurt lays one arm over Blaine and firmly holds down his hips as he starts sucking at the tip. Kurt alternates between swirling his tongue around the head and sucking.
"Oh my god, Kurt! Your mouth's so hot and wet. I feel as if I'm on fire."
Kurt places his other hand firmly at the base of Blaine's cock. With each stroke, Kurt takes another inch of Blaine's cock into his mouth. Blaine's hands automatically move to Kurt's head and he starts pulling at his hair. Blaine's heart sinks when Kurt pulls off his cock with a loud pop and wipes his mouth.
"That hair pulling is distracting me, Blaine. It's turning me on too much. If you keep doing it, I'm going to rut into the mattress and lose it. Can you place them somewhere else? Maybe over your head?"
Blaine's hands immediately shoot over his head and he thrusts his hips up to show that his cock is still demanding attention.
Kurt smiles at a writhing Blaine and whispers, "Look at you, all spread out before me. Now, where was I?"
Blaine lets out a loud moan when Kurt takes his cock even deeper into his mouth than before. His hands grip the bed's headboard rails as he holds on for dear life, pleasure coursing through his body. Blaine's breath becomes more ragged as he moans, "Kurt, stop. I'm too close."
Kurt immediately removes his mouth from Blaine's cock. Kurt moves his head down and starts kissing Blaine's inner thigh, gently stroking down his leg. Blaine calms down but his head feels fuzzy, as if all his blood has left his body and moved lower, to his cock. Blaine can hear Kurt's quiet sighs and kisses and in this moment, his love for Kurt feels as if it will burst out of his body.
Kurt gently fondles one of Blaine's balls as his mouth licks the other. No-one has ever done this to Blaine before, and it makes his stomach twist up hotly.
"Fuck, that's feels incredible. I'm going up the rollercoaster again."
"You taste and smell so good. I can't get enough of you."
"Oh god, Kurt. You can't say things like that – not when I feel so desperate. I need…"
Kurt returns his attention to Blaine's cock, setting a pattern of slowly swirling his tongue over the head in his mouth and then sucking. When Blaine's hips thrust up a little, Kurt moans, sending tingling vibrations throughout Blaine's body. Blaine grasps the bed's headboard rails even more tightly, thrashing his head from side to side on the pillow. Blaine moans as the ecstasy builds even higher.
"Oh my fucking god! It feels unbelievably amazing! I love you… Don't stop… Faster… Oh god, I'm going to cum soon…"
When Kurt hears the warning, he increases his tempo. It all seems so wet, and Blaine can feel the saliva dripping down to his balls. Blaine's shallow thrusts speed up, causing Kurt to moan. Blaine can feel the tug of his orgasm building as his balls tighten.
"Oh! Oh! Kurt, don't stop… I love you… Ugh… I can control myself any longer… I… I… Aaah!"
Blaine clenches his ass when he feels his cock pulsating as it shoots out steady streams of cum. His mind blanks and he sees nothing but white light beneath his eyelids as Kurt works him through it, swallowing as much as he can. Blaine can't control what's coming out of his mouth, as if there is no connection with his brain. There's just a babbling of words and moaning.
The next thing Blaine feels is the gentle strokes of Kurt's hand up and down his chest. Once his breathing is calmed down enough, Blaine cracks open an eye to see Kurt smiling back at him. Kurt tugs him in for a kiss, which is soft and loving. The urgency Blaine felt earlier has faded to a gentler pace.
"Can I take care of you, Kurt?"
Kurt blushes and shakes his head. "No need. I might have been rutting against the mattress towards the end, so I'm good."
Blaine gives Kurt a tight-lipped smile before staring up at the ceiling. Blaine had wanted so badly to climax with Kurt, and not separately. He feels as if he has let Kurt down by leaving him to take care of himself.
"What's wrong, Blaine? I can see the cogs in your brain working."
Blaine rolls to his side and holds Kurt's hand. "I've never felt that loved before. I really wanted to make you feel as good as you made me feel."
"Trust me, you did make me feel good. Do you know how worked up I got exploring your body? And the noises you made were positively sinful."
"But I wanted… urr…"
"I know exactly what you wanted, and it will happen."
Blaine gives Kurt a quizzical look.
"You told me what you wanted when you were climaxing."
Blaine searches his brain to remember what he had said, but comes up with nothing. His eyes are glued to Kurt, as he gets out of the bed. Kurt walks slowly towards the bathroom, gently swaying his hips. Before entering the bathroom, Kurt turns his face towards Blaine and adds, "According to my calculations, we still have 20 hours before I need to leave. Give me ten minutes, and then come join me."
With ten minutes to wait – wait for what? – Blaine's at a loss what to do. He climbs out of the bed and then heads towards the living area. He picks up the room service menu and takes his time looking at the menu. He orders a light dinner and champagne to arrive in another hour. After straightening out the sheets, Blaine checks his phone and is relieved that ten minutes has already passed. He heads towards the bathroom and gently knocks on the door.
"Can I come in?" Blaine asks tentatively.
"The door's unlocked."
Blaine's eyes need to adjust to the darkened bathroom, lit by a dozen or so tea candles placed strategically around the room. Blaine closes his eyes and breathes in the scent of vanilla and lavender. It's as if Kurt's signature scent is enveloping him. He then hears music start playing in the room.
Until the end of time
I'll be there 4 U
U own my heart and mind
I truly adore U
It's truly the most inviting room Blaine has ever entered. He slowly opens his eyes and discovers Kurt… in the large whirlpool bathtub… covered in bubbles.
"Oh, my love. I think I've just entered nirvana. Did you pick up these things from CVS?"
Kurt chuckles as he replies, "It's amazing what you can find there if you hunt around. Now come here, gorgeous. I'm lonely in this huge bathtub by myself."
Blaine looks at himself in the full-length mirror to make sure he looks okay. He gasps at what he sees. His body is covered with red hickeys of varying sizes. He touches the large one on his neck and can feel a slight soreness. He brushes his fingers along his chest, trying to touch each one, and finishes his discovery at the massive hickey on his hip.
His heart swells with even more love for Kurt. Blaine feels as if Kurt left reminders that he's loved and cherished. A little bit of him swoons at the thought that he's taken and marked as such. It will be a constant reminder when Kurt leaves the next day – and the thought of Kurt leaving him in less than 24 hours makes him frown.
"I might have gotten a little carried away. I'm really sorry…. I just couldn't help myself with all that luscious olive-toned skin beneath me."
Blaine grins at Kurt. "Don't apologize. I love them."
Blaine carefully climbs into the bubble bath. When Kurt opens his arms, Blaine scoots towards him and leans his back against Kurt's chest. Kurt envelopes Blaine in his arms and gives him a gentle squeeze.
"This is like the best hug ever," Blaine sighs.
"I want it to be. Now lean forward so I can I get your hair wet."
Blaine eyes a pink sippy cup with a Disney princess printed on the front and bursts out into laughter.
"Hey, I had to work with what was in stock at CVS! If I had a choice, I would have picked out a sippy cup with a Disney Prince."
Kurt starts scooping water into the cup and pouring it over Blaine's head, gently combing his fingers through his hair to ensure that it's completely wet.
"God, I love you. I can't believe that you thought about how to wash my hair while you were in CVS."
"Blaine, I love you too. I don't want you to slip out of my life again. I'd do much more for you than buy a pink princess sippy cup at CVS. Okay, you can now sit up."
Blaine promptly sits up and feels Kurt's fingers on his scalp. Kurt is adeptly working shampoo into his hair.
"Another CVS buy?"
"Thank god they had salon brand shampoos in stock because I don't think that your hair could cope with Herbal Essence. Now lean forward again."
Kurt uses the sippy cup to rinse out his hair. Then Blaine feels a new product being worked into his hair. Kurt's fingers massage his scalp, working the conditioner through the curls. Blaine moans at the feeling and concentrates on the music.
If God one day struck me, struck me blind
Your beauty I'd still see
Love is too weak to define
Just what you mean to me
Blaine turns his head and captures Kurt's lips in an urgent kiss.
"I'm so in love with you, Kurt Hummel. You can't imagine how happy you make me. You are the most beautiful person that I've ever met, both inside and out. I want to spend my entire life proving that to you."
Blaine hears Kurt's nervous laugh and wonders if he went too far.
"It's a good thing that I love you too, then. Now lean forward and let me rinse the conditioner from your hair."
Kurt uses the sippy cup for the last time, scooping water and pouring water over Blaine's head, running his fingers around the curls. He then lifts up the plug to let some of the water escape before refilling the tub with hot water. Blaine leans back into Kurt's arms and turns his head to kiss his chin.
"Now that we're relaxed and clean, maybe it's time to talk more," Kurt says softly.
"I'd like that. After all we've been through, I want to be totally honest with you."
"About everything?"
"No more secrets," Blaine confirms.
"So, sex…"
"Okaaay. We can talk about that. What do you want to know?"
"Do you only top?" Kurt timidly asks.
"No. I'd like to try bottoming too. Why do you ask?"
"It's just… When you were climaxing…. Umm… You were asking me to fuck you to take the memory away. To be that one special person."
Blaine sags into Kurt's chest, his mind reeling as he realizes what he actually said.
"Hey, honey. It's only me – Kurt. You can tell me anything. I love you. That's never going to change."
When Kurt kisses his shoulder, Blaine relaxes and feels like he can tell his story.
"After I found out that Sam was straight, I was full of self-doubt. Sure, I had made out with some guys in high school and messed around a little, but nothing went too far. I was the president of Harvard's LBGT club and after meetings, we would go out to the Paradise Club. It wasn't usually a problem because Sam was my wingman."
"Sam went to gay clubs with you?"
"Sam was an honorary member of the LBGT club, even though he didn't attend Harvard. Everyone loved him. Sam got us and was 100% behind our rights."
"I'm impressed. I didn't think Sam was like that."
"Well, he was… And still is. Anyways, Sam always knew when to let me loose or when to intervene and take me home. Every gay guy assumed I was a top. Until..."
"Something happened?" Kurt whispers.
"When I was re-elected as president of the LBGT club in my senior year, we all went out to celebrate. A grad student, who was the TA for one of my classes, joined us. I was having so much fun at the club, dancing and accepting everybody's drinks. When I get drunk, I get a little flirty and handsy, and the TA was my target. Unfortunately, Sam had left earlier. The next thing I knew, I woke up in room I hadn't been in before. My ass was sore and my head was pounding. The TA then walked out of the bathroom, slipped back into bed, and told me I could find my own way out."
Kurt presses a kiss to Blaine's shoulder, and it gives Blaine the courage to continue.
"I had never felt so humiliated – so used. And I had thrown away one of my firsts. I vowed to myself that the next time I bottomed it would matter – that it would be with someone very special in my life. Someone whom I love. It's more about letting myself go completely loose and just feel."
Blaine turns his head and gazes into Kurt's eyes.
"I want that next time to be with you."
Kurt captures Blaine's lips in a soft kiss, full of love and what feels like a promise.
"I'm honored, Blaine. I want my first time to be with you for all the same reasons."
Blaine leans back into Kurt's chest and rests his head on Kurt's shoulder, nuzzling into the warm and soft neck. Blaine can hear Kurt's strong heartbeat and feels cocooned in his loving embrace. Just as Blaine closes his eyes, he hears the doorbell reverberate throughout the suite.
"Ughhh. I forgot all about that. I ordered dinner when you were setting up the bathroom."
Blaine gets out of the bath and quickly towels himself dry before grabbing a robe and heading towards the suite's main door. After the meal has been set up and the delivery boy tipped, Blaine walks over to his phone and selects a smooth jazz playlist. When he turns around, his breath hitches at the angel in front of him.
Kurt looks adorable in the white fluffy robe that shows off his skin, which is tinged pink from the hot bath. Kurt has combed his hair, but it's still wet and not in the usual quiff.
"Here you are, looking like a vision from heaven. My hair must be out of control. I'm going to fix it…"
Kurt grabs his wrist before Blaine can walk past.
"You look gorgeous, Blaine. I love these messy curls."
As if to prove a point, Kurt weaves his fingers through Blaine's hair. He tugs down on the locks to position Blaine's head up and gives him a searing kiss. Blaine feels the insides of his belly twisting, opening his mouth to let Kurt's tongue in. He loves this dominant side of Kurt. When Kurt pulls away, Blaine chases those lips he can't seem to get enough of.
"I'm so glad you ordered food, 'cause I'm starving. I was so busy at the boutique's reception earlier that I didn't get a chance to eat. You are always so good at figuring out my every need. It's like we're in sync."
Blaine preens at the praise. It makes him want to do even more things for Kurt in the future. Blaine goes to the table and starts taking the silver domes off the plates. There's a mezze platter filled with crudités, hummus, and other assorted dips. Other plates contain dim sum and sushi. When Blaine pulls of the last silver dome, Kurt bursts out in laughter.
"French fries and mini burgers, Blaine?"
Blaine sheepishly looks at Kurt. "They're really good here. Besides, I think we'll be working off the calories."
Blaine pulls out a chair and Kurt gracefully sits down. Blaine rushes to the other side of the table and smiles up at Kurt. However, his heart stops when he sees Kurt's frown.
"What's the matter, babe? Don't you like this food? You can order anything else that you want."
"The food isn't the problem. It's you sitting so far away from me. I can't feel you. Come here," Kurt replies, signaling with a closed fist and an index finger waggling.
Blaine rises out of his chair and slowly walks over, not once taking his glance away from Kurt's lips. Blaine tentatively sits down on Kurt's lap and gives him a lingering kiss. Kurt breaks away and picks up a long slender French fry, dips it in tomato ketchup and feeds it to Blaine.
"Mmmm, yummy."
Blaine picks up the chopsticks and adeptly selects a piece of raw tuna, dips it into soy sauce and feeds Kurt. They take turns feeding each other, interspersed with slow kisses. When Blaine feeds a pita wedge with hummus to Kurt, he can feel his fingers being licked by Kurt's tongue. It swirls around his index finger before Blaine can feel the sucking.
"Kurrrrt," Blaine moans. "You even make eating sexy."
When they've had their fill, Kurt wanders to the couch while Blaine consolidates the leftovers onto one dish and sticks it in the mini-fridge. He's planning on pulling an all-nighter – no way is he going to miss out on one single second of their 24 hours together – and he suspects that they might need refueling. Blaine opens the thermal carafe and pours the hot chocolate into two mugs, before joining Kurt on the sofa.
"You read my mind, Blaine. How did you know I wanted hot chocolate?"
"When I saw it on the menu, this warm, sweet, rich-tasting drink reminded me of you."
"You know, I love those cheesy lines of yours."
After taking a sip of hot chocolate, Kurt places the mug on the side table. He pulls Blaine's hands into his and asks, "What are we?"
"I'd like to think… I mean I really hope you'll be…. Iwantyoutobemyboyfriend," Blaine blurts out.
"What about Connor? We haven't discussed him yet."
"What? He's not my boyfriend!"
"Blaine, I've seen the photos on the Internet. There were even pictures of you two having coffee a few days ago. I need to you to be honest with me and tell me everything."
Blaine sits up straight and nods. "Okay. Connor works for the law firm that does the legal work for the Monarch Foundation. I was feeling so desperately lonely with you out of my life and in Paris, and Sam moving to LA. We went out on a few dates, but honestly, Kurt, he's not my boyfriend."
Kurt arches one eyebrow and asks, "Does Connor know that?"
"I told Connor all about you on our first date. Told him that I was secretly in love with you, but you weren't interested. I made it perfectly clear that I wasn't ready for romance."
"So Connor is someone that you fooled around with?"
"No! Nothing more happened than a quick hug and a kiss on the cheek. I haven't - as you say - 'fooled around' with anybody since the day I first met you."
"Really?" Kurt squeaks.
"Kurt, you captured my heart with that first hug you gave me. I couldn't possibly have kissed anyone else. I haven't wanted to."
Kurt leans in for a gentle kiss. "So what will happen with Connor?"
"Those photos you saw of us at the coffee house? That was us agreeing not to see each other anymore."
Blaine sees tears form in Kurt's eyes and hears sniffling. He pulls Kurt into his arms and whispers, "What's wrong, my love?"
"I dated a man when I was in Paris."
Blaine rubs gentle circles along Kurt's back, trying to process the information.
"Antoine is an artist and waits tables at my local bistro. That's where we first met. He's a very nice guy and he went out of his way to show me Paris – a Paris that most tourists don't see. I'm not in love with him, but we did mess around a little bit, and... I don't know…."
Blaine pulls Kurt up so that he can gaze into his eyes. "Is Antoine your boyfriend?"
Kurt firmly shakes his head, drying his eyes with the back of his hand. "Antoine is a free spirit and doesn't like to put a label on anything, including his relationships. I really liked that at the beginning, but I ended it because ultimately, it wasn't what I wanted. I spent more time thinking about you than about him. I wanted to be free before I met up with you on this trip."
"And Sebastian?" Blaine asks with a shaky voice. "Did you and Sebastian ever… you know? I tortured myself thinking of it when you switched to Elle."
"Blaine, I never did anything with Sebastian!" Kurt cries out.
"Thank god for that. I didn't think anything happened, because if it did, Sebastian would have gloated about it to me. However, the thought of Sebastian even touching your body was my worst nightmare."
"Sebastian figured out pretty quickly that there was no way I was going to be another notch on his bedpost. He then stopped the leering and the sleazy lines and tried to be my friend."
Blaine's relieved that there is no-one special in Kurt's life. Blaine gets off the couch and down on his knees. His heart is pounding so fast that it feels as if it's going to burst out of his body.
"Kurt Hummel, my true love, will you do me the honor of being my boyfriend?"
"Yes!" Kurt shouts, who then jumps off the couch and dashes to the bedroom.
"Kurt? What are you doing?"
Kurt races back to the living area, with his hands behind his back.
"I have something for you… Well, something for us. I wanted you to have a reminder of our 24 hours together when I leave for Lima tomorrow. I saw these at the CVS checkout counter and couldn't resist."
Kurt moves his arms to his front and slowly opens his fisted hands. In each palm is a silicone rainbow-colored wristband, stamped with love is love is love is love in black letters.
Blaine is so moved by the sentiment that he's at a loss for words. He smiles broadly as he holds out his right arm. Kurt places the wristband on him, and then Blaine does the same for Kurt as well. Blaine admires the wristband on his arm and has no plans to take it off ever.
Blaine hears the opening notes for a song on his playlist and can't believe how perfect it is for them. Blaine rises and offers Kurt his hand.
"May I have this dance?"
"Yes. Yes, you may," Kurt replies.
What a diff'rence a day made
Twenty-four little hours
Brought the sun and the flowers
Where there used to be rain
My yesterday was blue, dear
Today I'm part of you, dear
Blaine nuzzles into Kurt's neck, savoring the scent of the lavender bath oil and something that is uniquely Kurt. He sighs when he feels Kurt's cheek rest against his shoulder and embraces him even tighter.
What a diff'rence a day made
And the difference is you
"Hey, Blaine. The song's over. You're falling asleep standing up. Let's head to bed."
"Don't wanna," Blaine moans. "Wanna stay up all night. Wanna make love, kiss, eat, kiss, dance, kiss, make love again…"
"That's a pretty ambitious plan, Mr. Anderson. I'm exhausted after working at the Bellerose Boutique opening today. Can we take time out for some snuggling? I promise there'll be kissing involved," Kurt sing-songs.
"I think that can be arranged," Blaine giggles.
They enter the bathroom and Kurt whips out two Disney princess electric toothbrushes from a CVS bag. Kurt squeezes a dollop of toothpaste on both and hands one over to Blaine.
"Don't judge me. I decided to stick with the princess theme. It was either that or Sponge Bob."
As they both brush their teeth, Blaine loves the domesticity of it all. It feels so natural to be with Kurt, getting ready for bed. Blaine daydreams about this being a daily occurrence and how even the most mundane routines can feel special with Kurt. He picks up the shaving cream can and is startled when Kurt pulls it away.
"Don't shave. I love your stubble. It makes you look incredibly sexy."
Blaine blushes at the compliment. "I usually shave every other night. Otherwise, this turns into an overgrown mess of a beard."
"Shave when I leave. But for tonight, leave your stubble."
Blaine gawps when he sees that Kurt pulls out three pots of moisturizers and starts dabbing and blending. When Kurt sees Blaine's reflection staring in the mirror, he smiles.
"How do you think models keep their complexion for the cameras? This is my quick version of what I do each night. Here, let me put some on you."
Blaine closes his eyes as Kurt gently dabs the perfumed lotion onto his face, gently massaging it in with his fingers. It feels so soothing that Blaine wants Kurt to do it every night for him.
They return to the bedroom, automatically going to the correct sides of the beds. Blaine lets the robe fall off him and climbs in under the sheets. They feel cool against his naked body and his head feels like it's in heaven when it hits the soft feather down pillow. Blaine soon feels a warmth beside him and he snuggles into Kurt's chest. Blaine lets out a yawn and kisses Kurt's skin that he can reach with his lips. When Kurt's arms go around him, Blaine closes his eyes, lost in the feel and smell of his love by his side. Blaine can feel the silicone bracelet along his back, as Kurt caresses him softly. Blaine's last thought before he drifts off to sleep is that he'll never let Kurt out of his life again.

I will be traveling to Laos next week and will not have Internet access. A further trip is planned in Asia mid-February. I'll struggle to post two updates per week and have the best chapters I can produce. Therefore, I'm going to revert to posting one update a week until further notice.
Next up: The next day. Kurt is still in LA. The smuff feast continues! This chapter will be posted next Saturday.
