From The Codebreaker: Kurt and Blaine debate if they have a 'song'.
TGTDOSBDK. Kurt is still at Dalton, but he knows he's going back to McKinley as soon as possible. So does Blaine.
My first take on this involved Mercedes, Sam, Facebook and Warblers. I scrapped all that because I figured it was about time I kept it simple and just completely and beautifully Klaine.
Song
"Do we have a song?"
Blaine propped himself up on his elbows to look over at his boyfriend who was lying next to him in the grass. They had taken the day off from homework and assignments, choosing instead to come out to Lima to visit Kurt's family only to find that Finn was out and Carol was away for the weekend. They had spent half an hour with Burt before he had been called out to an emergency in the shop, apologizing to the two boys as he darted out.
Left alone, Kurt had brought Blaine outside where they had spent the afternoon lying in the sun together, listening to music playing softly from inside the house and talking about whatever thoughts drifted into their heads.
Like this one, which seemed to have come out of nowhere. Blaine blinked. "I - I don't know."
It wasn't something that Blaine had considered, which surprised him because both he and Kurt practically oozed music. It wasn't uncommon for one of them to randomly serenade the other and they had already had a mock-argument over their wedding song - Blaine was happy to go for traditional but Kurt had disagreed.
"Well, what makes a song belong to a couple?" Kurt rolled over to look at him, leaning up slightly on one elbow. "None of the New Directions guys seem to stay in couples for long enough to get a song, so do you know any couples that have one?"
"I think Wes said his and Jessica's song is She's Got A Way. He said it was the song that was playing when he first realized he was in love with her."
Kurt smiled. "Okay, that's kinda cute. I didn't think Wes had it in him." Blaine chuckled as he lay back down, rolling onto his side to face his boyfriend. "But that's kind of one sided isn't it? I mean, you realized you had feelings for me when I sung Blackbird, but -"
"But you decided back when we sung Baby It's Cold Outside."
Kurt gave him a beautifully appreciative look and Blaine felt his heart warm like it did any time Kurt looked this happy.
"Yeah. So that doesn't work for us unless we make a mashup."
Blaine snorted. "I'm sorry but I refuse to tell people that our song is Blackbird, It's Cold Outside... or Baby, It's A Cold Blackbird... or -"
"Okay, you can stop there." Kurt raised a hand, laughing. "I get the picture. You're too cute sometimes, you know that?"
Blaine felt himself blush and Kurt chuckled again. "So," he said hastily, "our song can't be the moment we realized we liked one another. When else can it be?"
"I guess there's always the moment we met." Kurt's eyes glazed over a little and Blaine knew he was remembering back to their moment on the stairs, then running through the hallway together and then...
"Teenage Dream?"
Kurt winced. "Oh. Look, I'm all for us having a nice romantic song but I have standards. No Katy Perry, please?"
Blaine pouted but reluctantly agreed. "Plus, think of the explanation we'll have to give our kids someday about why their parents song is talking about getting their hands on each other's skintight jeans..."
Kurt raised an eyebrow. "Getting a bit ahead of yourself there, Mr. Anderson?"
Blaine blushed again and Kurt smiled, gently reaching out to touch his face. "Hey, I love the idea too. All the more reason for us to pick a good song."
"But we don't really get to pick it, do we?" Blaine thought about all the people who had mentioned their couple song. "They're just songs that kind of happen, that sum up the relationship and highlight important events. What else are we missing?"
"Oh, of course. What about when you asked me out... but there wasn't music." Kurt deflated and Blaine shrugged.
"But we were talking about music. Candles, remember?"
"Of course I remember." Kurt hit him lightly. "How could I forget? The first song we sang together as a couple was talking about broken relationships and being disappointed by the person they love. How absolutely romantic."
Now it was Blaine's turn to hit him. "The song was about moving on to happiness, you know that. You weren't complaining at the time, but I guess that's out too." He gave a long-suffering sigh, ignoring Kurt's eye roll. "So, I'm out of ideas. Do you have any more?"
"Well," Kurt whispered, "the only other one I can think of is when we kissed for the first time."
Blaine swallowed, his mouth suddenly dry. "But we haven't done that yet."
And - oh, Kurt was so close and his lips were right there...
"Well, maybe we should rectify that situation."
Blaine nodded - because honestly, what could he say to that? - before leaning in to gently capture Kurt's lips. He allowed their lips to stay there, gently pressed together for a few seconds before slowly deepening the kiss while keeping it soft. Kurt's lips were moving against his, gently and so sweetly that Blaine almost wanted to cry because he had never thought this moment would come for him.
Kurt pulled away gently, resting his forehead against Blaine's and staring into his eyes and Blaine was amazed by how much vulnerability was there. He knew Kurt was opening himself up completely, and he knew he was doing the same and it was wonderful.
Then Kurt smiled. "Listen," he whispered.
Blaine listened. Faintly, from inside the house, came the sound of music.
"I am the sound of love's arriving
Echoed softly on the sound
Lay your head upon my shoulder
Lay your hand within my hand
I give you all that I am."
"Our song?" Blaine whispered, reaching over to touch Kurt's face gently.
"Our song."
Kurt drew him back in for another kiss, just as sweet and beautiful as the first as their song played on in the background.
"And I breathe where you breathe,
Let me stand where you stand,
With all that I am."
I accidentally deleted the whole story just before posting it and flipped. It came back though.. obviously.
I thought it was time for a sweet story. Not tooth-rotting sweet, but pure innocent sweet. I hope I captured it, I nearly cried writing it so I hope that's an indication. The song is All That I Am - Rob Thomas. I was trawling my iTunes trying to find something and I stumbled across this... and it ended up being perfect. It's a bit different to what they usually do, but I love it anyway.
(I want this so so badly.)
