After their disastrous stroll through the forest and their near death experience, and their freezing night and day walking again, they finally made it to the cabin that Blaine knew they would be safe to stay in. The cabin was already stocked up with heating and electricity, it even had a working back up generator with fuel tanks beside it. Kurt went straight for a warm shower, while Blaine un packed their two bags, which didn't contain a lot anymore. And made the place warm and cozy for when Kurt reappeared.
It was already getting late by the time they had arrived from behind the cabin and out of the trees, so they didn't have to worry about anybody seeing them. It was almost pitch black outside now and Blaine had to remmeber that if he wanted a light on inside, he would have to make sure that it couldn't be seen outside. He boarded and shut up all of the windows around the ground floor of the place, and then turned a lamp on.
The place was immaculate, clean and smelt nice. It was actually the best place they had stayed in, if he was being honest. The seedy, run down motels had nothing on this place.
Kurt reappeared with a small smile on his face, looking like he had just stepped into heaven. Blaine couldn't help the smile it brought out on his own face.
"You should have a warm shower, it's amazing." Kurt told him and Blaine nodded silently in agreement, but still staring at him with a smile until Kurt noticed, "...what?"
"Nothing, i love you, you know." Blaine replied with a shrug and a warm look, and Kurt blushed a little.
"I love you too."
As they both stood sending each other sweet smiles, Blaine shivered and then remembered his entire body was still kind of cold.
"I'm erm...gonna jump in the shower then." he said as he backed up towards the stairs, and Kurt giggled after him.
"Yeah, you go do that."
Once Blaine was out of sight, Kurt began to rummage through the kitchen in the place, to find something to do for dinner. He wanted it to be special tonight. He was thinking a lot in his shower earlier, about their relationship and what he wants.
He knew that he and Blaine were in a lot of danger on the run out here, and he also knew that they wouldn't be abel to dote on each other, or go out on dates. Kurt was thinking that since Blaine got them to someplace safe tonight, he was going to make it a date for them inside.
The cupboards and refrigerator in the kitchen were actually full of stuff he could use, pasta, chicken, frozen vegetables, cheese, butter and cream. Looks like it was chicken alfredo, which was good because he knew it was Blaine's favourite pasta dish.
He set out all of the things he would need, and got to work. The oven worked and so did the electricity, the kitchen was stocked with all high end equipment so it would be done fast. He just hoped he could get everything ready and in the oven by the time Blaine was finsihed in the shower.
He found some candles and a tablecloth too, so he went about setting a space for them with soft candlelight instead of the lamp Blaine had turned on earlier.
It was all going to plan, and by the time he had everything in a dish and in the oven, it actually looked like a table at a restaurant was in the middle of the dining room, ready for their special date.
He found some wine in the refrigerator too, but he would leave it for now, he didn't want to push alcohol in their systems, water would have to do. But there was ice cream in the freezer, so desert was already sorted.
When Blaine reappeared with his hair still a bunch of wet curls on his head, it was to a delicious smell coming from the kitchen but as he walked through he saw the set up in the dining room and his jaw dropped.
"Kurt, what is all this?" He aksed totally in awe, his voice a little bit higher than normal.
Kurt shrugged with a smile.
"I thought, that since we can't go out on dates right now, that we could have a little date night here. To be completely honest, this place is amazing, it is the perfect place for it, don't you think?" He explained and Blaine shook his head as a smile spread on his lips.
"You are amazing. And what is that gorgeous smell?"
"Chicken Alfredo," Kurt repsonded as Blaien walked closer, and he watched Blaine's face melt from a smile into a look of determination, "i know it's your favourite and they had all of the ingredients here so i-"
Kurt didn't get to finish explaining because as soon as Blaine was within arms reach he had pulled Kurt into a kiss, a deep, sensual, loving kiss that made his knees turn to jelly.
He repsonded by wrapping his arms around his boyfriend's back and grasping him tightly as Blaine's tongue pushed softly into his mouth, the movements were slow and lazy, but the passion was anything but.
Blaine moaned against his mouth, and Kurt pulled him in tighter, feeling the growing ned for closeness within him explode into lust and want, a desperation he had never felt before.
It simmered down though, as Blaine pulled his outh away and sighed while resting their foreheads together.
"Have i told you how much i love you?" Blaine asked in a whisper and Kurt grinned as he closed his eyes.
"All the time."
"Good."
Their next press of lips was interrupted by a ding from the oven timer and Kurt pulled away with a slight laugh. Blaine held one of his hands as he followed him into the kitchen again, letting him go only so that Kurt could pull their dinner out of the oven.
The smell made Blaine's stomach growl and Kurt laughed.
"Well, at least i know it won't be wasted." he said as Blaine looked down a little sheepishly.
He had forgotten how hungry he was until now. But also hungry for something else too, although maybe he wouldn't voice that right now.
Once they had both sat down at their little table with both of their plates filled with pasta, they shared a smile before digging in. Blaine moaned as he swallowed the first bite.
"Oh my god, i can't believe how much i missed real food. This is incredible." he groaned again as he filled his mouth with a second helping, as Kurt chuckled a little, "you're amazing at cooking Kurt. Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Once half of Blaine's plate was empty he reached for his water and then smiled at Kurt.
"So what do we talk about on this date? I mean we already know eahc other inside and out." he said with a little grin and Kurt took a sip of his own water while grinning back at him.
"I'm not sure, but i know we should talk about anything but our situation right now."
"Ok. Agreed." Blaine nodded and then thought about what to start with, "Ok, i have a question. How did you know you had a crush on me when we were younger?"
Kurt chuckled slightly at Blaine's curious face, chin resting on his hands while he waited for Kurt to answer.
"Tough question," Kurt replied sarcastically, and Blaine only rolled his eyes but waited quietly, "ok. The first time i realized was...do you remember that really sunny day around my 14th birthday, i think it was just after, when i made my dad set up the pool in the backyard?"
Blaine nodded.
"Well, you also remember how sunburnt i got right?" at another nod, Kurt conitnued, "well..you offered to put that aftersun cream on my shoulders, and i could just feel my face becoming redder and redder as you did. I think that was the first time i noticed you as an interest, not just my best friend."
"Aww. You were so cute all red and burnt from the sun." Blaine tilted his head and gave Kurt the biggest cheesiest grin ever, which made him roll his eyes.
"I was also in a lot of pain, but thanks i guess." Kurt answered back while Blaine only gave a short chuckle.
It didn't take them long before they had moved onto dessert, sharing icecream across the table, and trying to think of topics to talk about that didn't involve their families or their situation. But the topics were hard, they had all the memories from their childhood together, so there was nothing else they could talk about.
Blaine decided to bite the bullet and ask a question that had been on his mind for a while.
"Do you think we would have got together this year, without all this i mean?"
Kurt paused and gave him a curious look. As he swallowed his mouthful of icecream, he gave Blaine his full attention and placed the spoon down.
"What do you mean?"
Blaine gave him a small smile.
"I know we weren't supposed to bring up our situation in conversation tonight," he explained and Kurt raised an eyebrow as he gave a short nod, "but i was just thinking. Where would we be right now, if we weren't out here, if we were still at school. Would we have fallen in love? Would either of us confess to the other? Would we have gone to prom together as boyfriends, or would we have gone as best friends?"
"You think about all that?" Kurt asked feeling surprised, and watched as Blaine smiled bashfully.
"Well...yeah. Do you think we would have got together this year?"
Honestly, i don't know." Kurt replied with a shrug, and Blaine tilted his head and gave him his own curious look, "i mean, i would have thought i had the courage to confess everything to you. Being out here, made that more possible. But back at school...i have no idea."
"We would have gone to prom together, regardless right?"
As Blaine asked the question, Kurt looked up at him with a small grin. But Blaine was looking down at the table and avoiding his gaze, so Kurt reached out and took one of his hands, threading their fingers together. Blaine looked back upand locked eyes with Kurt.
"Maybe i would have found the courage to tell you at prom, but we'll never know right?" Kurt said and Blaine squeezed his hand as he returned his grin, "i'm just happy that we could be together now."
"Me too."
"And i know one thing we would have done together at prom, whether we were boyfriends or not." Kurt said as he released Blaine's hand and stood up from the table.
"What's that?" Blaine asked with a raised eyebrow.
Kurt just kept his eyes on him for a moment, before walking over to a stereo system that he had seen earlier, and clicked it on. A song began playing, one that Kurt recognized from last year and he smiled as he turned the volume dial until it could be heard more clearly, but not so loud to attract anybody's attention in the neighbourhood.
He turned back to Blaine, who had been watching him curiously from his seat at the table.
"We would have danced together, all night." Kurt finished as he walked over to him and offered a hand.
Blaine chuckled as he placed his hand in Kurt's, being tugged up by his boyfriend, and laughed as he was spun around. Blaine nodded as he and Kurt both wrapped their arms around each other, slowly swaying to the music.
"Yes, yes we would have."
The song they were dancing to, changed while they were swaying. It was a very slow song, one that neither of them had heard before, but the rhythm was good and they kept swaying while listening to it.
"There goes my heart beating
'Cause you are the reason
I'm losing my sleep
Please come back now
There goes my mind racing
And you are the reason
That I'm still breathing
I'm hopeless now"
There was something about the lyrics of the song that was playing that really hit Kurt deeply, and he pushed his face into Blaine's shoulder as his mind raced a little with the meaning behind them. The words were beautiful and sad, but in a way it encapsulated everything he and Blaine were to each other right now.
"I'd climb every mountain
And swim every ocean
Just to be with you
And fix what I've broken"
"Oh, 'cause I need you to see
That you are the reason"
Blaine's hands moved from around Kurt's waist and glided up along his back to rest just on his shoulder blades, and Kurt felt the tingling starting in his stomach. Most people would call it butterflies, but for Kurt it was like lightning. He pushed himself closer and held Blaine tighter as the song continued.
"There goes my hands shaking
And you are the reason
My heart keeps bleeding
I need you now, oh
If I could turn back the clock
I'd make sure the light defeated the dark
I'd spend every hour, of every day oh
Keeping you safe"
Every word that hit him, began to make his eyes stig, but a slow smile made its way across his face. Blaine was a sturdy, beautiful, well needed piece of his life. Everything they were, they were together.
He pulled his face out of Blaine's shoulder and turned to look at him. Blaine had a little worried look on his face when he saw how watery Kurt's eyes were, but the smile meant they were happy tears so he waited silently, patiently for Kurt to say something.
Kurt didn't say anything yet, he was just staring at Blaine.
"I'd climb every mountain
And swim every ocean
Just to be with you
And fix what I've broken
Oh, 'cause I need you to see
That you are the reason"
Kurt paused their dancing and pulled back a little, but still stayed in front of Blaine, hands on his waist and mile still stuck on his lips.
"Blaine, i need to ask you something. Something important," He started, and his smile only became bigger as Blaine waited with a curious and warm smile on his own face, "and i need you to listen until the very end okay?"
"Okay."
"I know this question is sort of coming from nowhere, but i've been thinking about it a lot and i wanted to know how you felt before i get into explaining why." Kurt started explaining, but as he did his face was turning red, he could feel the burning in his cheeks and Blaine was looking at him so patiently and lovingly, "Have you ever thought about us...intimately?"
"Intimately?"
"You know, having sex."
Blaine's jaw dropped open and his eyes widened at that, his mouth formed an "oh" shape but no sound was emitted. Kurt bit his lip while he waited and Blaine removed one of his hands from Kurt's shoulders and ran it through his hair, a nervous tick that Kurt knew he had.
"Erm...being completely honest," he said and Kurt nodded, "yes i have."
"Ok, good." Kurt replied and gave him a small relieved smile, "because i have too. Thought about it i mean. And i know our situation isn't the most romantic or normal right now. And i try not to think about this time of ours right now, where we don't know if we'll be caught tomorrow or next week or next year...but it enters my head and all i can think about is us and what i want us to be able to do. What i want us to be."
Blaine was listening intensely all the while Kurt was talking, and nodding along with his words. Blaine also had fears that they would be caught tomorrow, and wanted to spend as much time with Kurt as possible. The love he felt for Kurt was undeniable, Kurt was his person, his best friend and his love.
Of course Blaine had wanted them to be as close as possible too, in every way. But to hear that Kurt was also thinking about them too, in that way, it made Blaine feel even more connected to him.
"What do you want Kurt?" He eventually asked, while trying to remain calm and patient, when all he wanted to do was kiss his boyfriend.
"I want to make love to you." Kurt still blushed as he said it, but he managed not to shake too much and had strength in his statement.
"Tonight?" Blaine asked with a little more surprise, but Kurt shook his head gently.
"Only if you want to. We're not doing anything unless both of us are 100 percent on board."
Blaine couldn't wait anymore, he had to kiss him. So he did.
