Day 11: Happy With You

A/N: This doesn't exactly fit in the canon timeline, so let's just say it takes place in a slight AU in which Kurt is still at Dalton, he and Blaine are boyfriends, and it's Valentine's Day. I promised you fluff today, and fluff you shall have.

One of the many perks of being a Warbler was getting to join in the many Warbler bonding activities. The Dalton boys worked hard and played harder – and usually did it in eight-part harmony.

This was how Kurt found himself on a group ski trip on Valentine's Day weekend. Kurt had never been skiing before, and was rather apprehensive at first, but Blaine promised to help him. His boyfriend was apparently an excellent skier, having gone on numerous trips with his parents as a child. Kurt couldn't say "No" once he had visions in his head of shushing down the slopes with Blaine all day and cuddling with him by a cozy fire at night. It was going to be their most romantic weekend ever!

Or not.

Leave it to Kurt to fall and sprain his ankle within ten minutes of being on skis. He hadn't even made it all the way up the bunny slope before some obnoxious kid bumped into him and knocked him down, somehow managing to tangle with Kurt's skis in just the right way to cause the injury. Fortunately, Blaine had been nearby – although he was inexperienced skier, he had promised to stay with Kurt during his lesson in the morning and to go on some of the easier hills with him in the afternoon.

Kurt was quickly hustled off the slope and examined by the house doctor. The doctor assured him that it was a simple sprain, and that all he needed to do was rest it for a couple of days (which just so happened to coincide with the length of their time at the lodge, of course).

Kurt couldn't decide if he wanted to scream or cry. All of his dreams of a romantic weekend were ruined.

Blaine, who hadn't left his side, eased Kurt onto a comfy couch in a cozy sitting room off of the main lobby of the ski lodge. He made sure to elevate Kurt's foot as the doctor had instructed, and fussed about arranging pillows and blankets to ensure that Kurt was perfectly comfortable. Normally, Kurt would have found the overwhelming attention irritating, but after the awful start to the day, allowed himself to enjoy the pampering.

"Are you warm enough?" Blaine asked, tucking a throw around Kurt's leg, careful not to jostle the ice pack resting on his injured ankle.

"I'm fine, I promise," Kurt insisted, chuckling fondly. "I'll be just fine. You go ahead and get back out there. I'm sure the guys are wondering where you are. At least with me being grounded, you can go join them on the bigger hills." Kurt didn't relish the thought of spending the afternoon alone, but what choice did he have?

Blaine looked stricken as he gingerly perched on the edge of the couch next to Kurt. "What? No! Kurt, I'm not going to go skiing and leave you alone! I'm staying here with you."

"But Blaine, we came all the way out here to ski and have fun with the rest of the Warblers. Just because I was clumsy doesn't mean you have to miss out," Kurt argued.

"I won't be missing out on anything. We can have lots of fun right here!" Blaine glanced around the room, his eyes alighting on a large bookshelf across the way. "Look! They have board games, and books, and puzzles – plenty of things for the two of us to do the next couple of days."

Kurt's eyes widened. Blaine wasn't just planning to sit with him for the afternoon – he was going to stay with him all weekend! Kurt's heart was sure to burst with affection. But wait, Blaine was still talking…

"…and one of the other sitting areas even has a piano. I could serenade you," he added excitedly.

"You're too much," Kurt laughed, "but seriously, Blaine, go. I don't mind."

Blaine shifted closer, taking Kurt's hand in his own. "Let me put this another way, Kurt. I have two choices: I can be here with you, or I can be out there skiing. Me? I'm happy with you," he smiled warmly. "Now, I'm going to go get us some hot chocolate, and then I'm going to kick your ass at Chutes and Ladders, okay?"

Kurt couldn't help the giant smile on his face. "Okay," he nodded, squeaking in surprise and pleasure when Blaine leaned in to kiss him soundly before rushing off to get their cocoa. "I'm happy with you, too," he murmured. Nothing had gone as Kurt planned, but it was still shaping up to be the most romantic weekend he'd ever had.
