It was New Year's Eve and Kurt and Blaine had decided that they wanted to spend the night alone. After a rather embarrassing conversation with Burt about connecting with someone and safe sex Burt had allowed the boys to stay home, him and Carole were heading to Columbus for the weekend and Finn would be attending the New Year's party at Rachel's before him, Puck, Arite and Mike headed off to the lake for a few days. Contrary to popular believe amongst their friends and Burt (until Kurt and Carole set him straight) Blaine and Kurt did not want to be alone to 'get some' as Finn had put it, they simply wanted to spend time together – just the two of them. Even though their friends and Kurt's family were all very accepting of them they still didn't want to push PDA's too far, besides they both believed that their relationship was theirs and there was no need to flaunt it.

"What did you want to do tonight?" Kurt looked over at Blaine who was staring at the ceiling.

"Nice dinner, some dancing, confessions of love, new Year's resolutions, maybe a new year's kiss?"

"Maybe a new year's kiss?"

"Okay" Blaine kissed Kurt's cheek "definitely a new year's kiss."

"Good because if there is no New Year's kiss there will be consequences."

"Sexy consequences?" Blaine waggled his eyebrows.

Kurt snorted "no, unsexy consequences, like me dressing up as Finn or my Dad."

Blaine shuddered "you know how to hurt a guy Kurt."

"You love it" Kurt winked.

Blaine rolled over to face Kurt "I really don't; but I love you sooooo I guess I'll put up with it." He shrugged.

"Oh you'll put up with it will you?" Kurt began to poke Blaine with his index finger "will you put up with this too?"

"Y-yes" Blaine tried to squirm away.

Kurt chuckled has both of his index fingers began to poke Blaine's ribs, stomach and at times his face.

"Ah, Kurt stop it." Blaine covered his face.

"Hmmm" Kurt pretended to think about it "I don't think I will stop."

"Why not?" Blaine asked from behind his arm.

"Because I don't think you have learnt your lesson yet."

"I have, I have, ahh. Honestly."

"Why don't I believe you?" Kurt moved to straddle Blaine.

"B-because you're evil?"

Kurt stopped his attack and looked down at Blaine how pecked his eyes over his arm to look at Kurt. "Now Blaine, given the current situation that you are in" Kurt lightly poked his shoulder to remind him "do you really think it is wise to be a smart arse? Hmmm?" Kurt cocked his head to the side.

"Yes" Blaine whispered.

Kurt growled at Blaine and began to poke him in the ribs a little harder "you'll never learn."

"K-Kurt please stop. I love you please."

Kurt stopped "what was that?"

"I love you" Blaine said panting.

Kurt sweetly kissed Blaine's arm "good" he smiled before moving to sit next to Blaine.

"Is it safe to come out?" Blaine said behind his arms.

"For now." Kurt smirked.

"What does that mean?" Blaine sat up.

"It means watch your back Anderson?"

"Is it wrong that I am a little scared of you?" Blaine's eyes briefly flicked to Kurt.

Kurt batted his eye lids at Blaine and crawled over to sit just in front of him "Blaine?" he cooed very innocently "don't be afraid of little old me. I'm harmless." Kurt smiled coyly and ran his finger down Blaine's shirt.

Blaine grabbed Kurt's hand that has training down his chest and interlaced their fingers "Kurt, baby you are anything but harmless."

Kurt pouted, Blaine kissed the inside of his wrist before dropping his hand. "I'm going to get dinner started why don't you run yourself a nice bubble bath?"

Kurt shook his head "I want to help with dinner. Besides I will be all lonely in the big bath all by myself."

Blaine failed to supress a groan. "Is your bath tub big enough for two people?"

Kurt stood up and headed to the bathroom "let's find out." Closing the door Kurt began to fill the bath. He then turned to his bubble bath products to select the perfect one for the situation. Kurt smiled as he spied is Memoires: Paris While Fleurs bubble bath that Carole got him for his birthday. Quickly he turned it over a red the back 'A romantic white flower bouquet of delicate lily of the valley, jasmine, azela, tuberose, ylang-ylang and a hint of sensual sheer white musk, this elegant fragrance celebrates the 'joie de vivre' of Paris with its famous garden promenades, stylish shops and quaint cafes.'

Perfect. Kurt decided as he poured it into the filling bath.

"Kurt I am just going to head downstairs and watch some T.V"

"No Blaine, stay here. I won't be long." Kurt called from behind the closed door.

"Okay." Blaine lay back down on the bed and began to hum a random tune to himself.

"Blaine" Kurt called a few minutes later "can you come here for a second."

Blaine slowly sat up and made his way to the bathroom. He gently opened the door and gasped at the sight in front of him. In the bath tub surrounded by bubbles was Kurt, his Kurt.

"Hi stranger." Kurt smiled.

Blaine opened his mouth to speak, but nothing came out. "K-Kurt?"

"Yes baby?"

"You're um," Blaine started at the wall behind Kurt "you're naked and in the bath."

Kurt giggled "yes baby I am. Do you want to join me?"

Blaine stared at him.

Kurt's confidence suddenly fell. "I mean, you don't have to."

"No, no. I want to. But are you sure?"

"Yes. It's not a sexual thing" Kurt face turned red. "I just want to have a relaxing bath with my boyfriend."

Blaine smiled at Kurt "Okay."

"Great" Kurt leaned his head back and closed his eyes.

Blaine chuckled "what are you doing?"

"I'm closing my eyes so you can get undressed without feeling embarrassed."

A blush swept over Blaine's face despite Kurt's consideration. Quickly he undressed and stepped into the water. "Don't open your eyes but which way am I sitting?"

Kurt chuckled "Well you can either sit opposite me or you can sit between my legs."

Blaine didn't reply but Kurt soon had his answer and he felt Blaine's back press against his chest.

"Can I open my eyes now?" Kurt's voice was so quite that Blaine almost missed it.

"Uh-huh." Blaine turned his head to look at Kurt. "Hi" he whispered as the blue eyed beauty looked at him.

"Hi" Kurt sighed nuzzling Blaine's neck.

Sighing Blaine leaned his head against Kurt's shoulder "this is really nice."

"Mmm it is" Kurt gently ran his fingers through the water.

Both boys closed their eyes and enjoyed just being together.

"Kurt" Blaine mumbled a few minutes later.

"Hmm?"

"I don't think I ever want to move." Blaine shuffled further down so more of him was submerged in the bath.

"Me neither." Carefully Kurt reached over and grabbed his vanilla body wash and squirted it into his hands. Slowly he began to lather Blaine's shoulders. Blaine whimpered as Kurt's hands travelled down his chest.

"Hmmm s'nice"

"Do you want me to wash your hairs?" Kurt whispered in his ear.

"Please."

Kurt kissed Blaine behind the ear and picked up the cup on the lip of the bath and carefully wet Blaine hair.

Blaine was officially in heaven. Not only did he have the most amazing boyfriend but right now said boyfriend sitting just behind him NAKED in the bath, washing his hair. Blaine smiled resulting in a chuckle falling from Kurt's lips.

"Having a good time?" Kurt pushed his fingers through Blaine's hair to massage in the shampoo.

Blaine nodded vigorously causing some of the shampoo to fly up and hit Kurt.

"Gah, stop moving your head I'm getting attacked by the shampoo."

Blaine laughed nervously "sorry baby."

For the next few minutes Kurt massaged Blaine head, very slowly turn his boyfriend into a puddle of goo.

"Blaine honey, you have to get out now so I can have a shower."

Blaine frowned.

"Marinating in our dead skin is not exactly my idea of getting clean. It's kind of gross." Kurt looked like he was going to be sick.

"Right" Blaine nodded. "You may want to close your eyes Kurt." Blaine stood up a few seconds later and stepped out of the tub before wrapping a towel around his waist. "All done."

Kurt opened his eyes.

"I'm just going to go get changed then I'll start dinner." Blaine made for the door without turning to Kurt.

"Blaine?"

"Mmm?" Blaine still faced the door.

"I love you."

Blaine walked out the door "love you too baby. Don't take too long, okay?"

That was weird. Kurt thought as he emptied the bath and turned the shower on.

Blaine didn't know why he'd been so offended by what Kurt had said. It wasn't like he had said that Blaine was gross and disgusting. Putting it down to nerves Blaine quickly got changed and headed downstairs to start dinner. Having a little time to himself without the welcome distraction of Kurt allowed Blaine a little time to try and sort out what the hell was happening in his brain. He said dead skin is disgusting, not me. Blaine repeated that sentence like a mantra. But still why did it both him so much?

Kurt was pretty sure that his boyfriend was mad at him, but why? Kurt closed his eyes as the hot water fell onto his back. Maybe I said something to upset him? Maybe he got freaked out by the whole bathing together thing? Kurt froze. That's it. Oh god he thinks I am disgusting and… "No, Kurt, stop it. Don't jump to conclusions. Go down there and talk to Blaine like a grown up." He scolded and so he did just that.

The only sound downstairs was a quiet humming in the kitchen that Kurt knew came from his boyfriends beautiful lips. "Hey sweetie." Kurt walked behind Blaine and wrapped his arms around him.

Blaine laid his back of his head on Kurt's shoulder "hey" he whispered before returned to making dinner.

They both worked quickly and silently together to prepare dinner. It was like a dance that they had both been doing for years.

"Blaine?"

"Yeah?"

"Are, are you okay?" Kurt cursed his voice for pitching higher than normal.

Blaine didn't reply – he didn't know if he was okay and he didn't want to lie to Kurt.

"Blaine?" Kurt repeated stepping closer to him. "What's wrong?"

Blaine stopped chopping the vegetable and shrugged. "I don't know" he sighed, his shoulders slumping forward. He shook his head trying to get his thoughts straight.

"Was it" Kurt's voice was a whisper "was it something I did?"

Blaine turned to face his boyfriend. The uncertainty was clear in both of their eyes.

"Kurt"

God Kurt loved the way him name sounded on Blaine's lips. "I. It's just" he groaned in frustration. "I'm just a little sensitive at the moment it nothing."

"Hey, don't shrug off your feeling like they don't matter. Clearly something is bothering you." Kurt stepped forward to stand right in front of Blaine "just tell me please so I can try and make it better."

Keeping his eyes on Kurt's left shoulder he opened his mouth to speak "It's just you sounded so disgusted with me upstairs."

Kurt frowned "when?"

"When you said that you wanted to take a shower." Blaine ran his fingers through his hair "Like you felt all dirty being so close to me."

"Oh baby" Kurt wrapped his arms around his boyfriend "it's not like that at all. You don't disgust me at all. I love you; I am in awe of you Blaine. I'm sorry that I hurt your feelings."

Blaine smiled "you didn't, not really. We're just going so well and I guess I am just waiting for the other shoe to drop."

Kurt nodded in agreement "I know what you mean. I was miserable before we met, well before you wrote to me." They both smiled "and now I can't believe that you are standing here in front of me. This gorgeous guy" Kurt motioned to Blaine "loves me and wants to be with me. It just seems a bit much sometimes."

"We're both pretty silly" Blaine chuckled "let's just enjoy tonight and what we have and accept the fact that we are both very lucky to have found each other."

"I like the sound of that" Kurt leaned over and kissed Blaine before returning to dinner.

Dinner was amazing, the candles were a perfect touch and the conversation was as always effortless.

"Time for dessert?" Kurt tilted his head.

"Nu-uh. Not yet. Let's dance first." Blaine stood and held out his hand to Kurt. "May I have this dance?"

"Only if I can have the next one."

"Deal" Blaine smiled as he pulled Kurt to his feet.

Arms wrapped around each other and bodies were pulled closer as the two boys in loved danced around the Hudson-Hummel living room.

"This is nice" Kurt mumbled his breath tickling Blaine's neck.

"Mmm. It is. I love it when it's just us."

"Me too. I love my family, so much but this is my favourite thing." Kurt wrapped his arms tightly around Blaine's neck.

"What us dancing?"

"No us, just us."

It was 11.30 and Kurt and Blaine lay together on the sofa. "So Mr Anderson. It's time to get nostalgic. What is your favourite memory of this year?"

Blaine stared at the ceiling "Just one?" Kurt nodded "um- okay. Probably the first time we kissed. Or the first time you said you loved. I can't choose."

Kurt chuckled at Blaine's obvious frustration.

"What about you Kurt?"

"The first time I saw. I was such a mess, but there you were and god Blaine you looked so beautiful. I knew then that I'd be okay."

"I love you." Blaine announced earnestly.

"I love you too."

"Happy New Year!" They both shouted throwing their arms around each other. The kiss they shared was full of passion and promise.

"So what's the plan for the rest of the year" Blaine wondered aloud as Kurt led him upstairs.

"Well, The Warblers win sectionals, regionals and nationals."

"Of course" Blaine agreed.

"Then one of us will get valedictorian."

"That'll be an interesting battle."

"Then off to New York."

"Sounds like it's going to be our year."

"Blaine?" Kurt asked into the darkness if his room "will I ever get to meet your parents?"

"Do you want to meet them?" Blaine shuffled closer.

"I do. I mean I know how they treat you but I still want to meet them."

Blaine sighed "they won't be nice to you Kurt. They say horrible things about you and me. About us and the fact that we're going to hell."

Kurt shrugged "I don't believe in hell and it's not like I haven't heard it before. But Blaine I have to say if it makes you uncomfortable then I won't meet them. I love you either way."

"I'll think about it."

They shared a kiss and shared secrets and confessed their love until they both feel asleep.

Awwww! Back to Dalton in the next chapter. I wonder what craziness awaits?
