Thank you so much for reading this rushed drabbles, I do have a lot of fun writing them, even if I can't take my time to write them properly. I do love me some Christmas Countdown, though :)
Prompt December 4th: Dessert
Spoilers for seasons 4 and 5.
Blaine may have gone a little overboard, when he booked them a table at the latest rave in the gourmet world, and insisted on six courses. But their fight had been of epic proportions, and Blaine had honestly thought Kurt would never want to see him again. It took almost a week from Kurt expelled him from the loft apartment, until he replied to one of Blaine's text. Even when his roommate Sam was sent as a messenger to the loft apartment, he'd been met with an icy glare and cold shoulder.
He's not even sure what the fight had been about. Rather, he knows Kurt blew up when Blaine happily told him how he had nailed an audition for a role at the NYADA spring extravaganza, and it turned out Kurt had auditioned too. Kurt had said things like Officer Krupke, second violin, seniority, unfair competition, terrible communication, worst boyfriend ever. Blaine may have said things like inevitable, supportive, selfish, proud boyfriend, awful listener. In hindsight, he knew they both were running on too much coffee, not enough sleep, choking amounts of stress throughout the finals before Christmas break, disappointment after several cancelled date nights from both sides and clashing ambitions.
After working so hard to gain Kurt's trust again, to forgive himself for Eli, and just recently beginning to feel as if their relationship had again established equilibrium, it had been a punch to the gut to realize he had somehow fucked up. Again. Sitting down with Kurt tonight was done with trepidation and excitement alike.
Over the hors d'oeuvre, Blaine apologized profusely for not involving Kurt in his plans, or realizing that they might both be interested in the same part.
Over the soup, Kurt admitted he had blown things out of proportion because he had been exhausted, and asked Blaine to forgive him.
Over the salmon, Blaine made them both promise to make each other and their relationship a priority, and make sure they spent time together even if it was to prepare for classes and finish papers.
Over the duck, Kurt made them both promise to talk more, but not kiss less, and never go to bed – even if the beds were in separate apartments – angry with each other.
Over the cheese, Blaine reassured Kurt that he would love him forever, just as fiercely and fearlessly as before. Kurt blushed, smiled and returned a shy "ditto".
Blaine assumed Kurt would want a slice of cheesecake for dessert, but decided to ask as the gentleman he strived to be, and in the spirit of their recent agreement to communicate better.
"No," Kurt said breathlessly, and his eyes were sparkling. "I want to go to your place."
