Blaine, Wes, and David all piled into Blaine's car and began driving away from Dalton and to Blaine's boyfriend's house. They all were jittery with excitement. With summer vacation in full swing, a cruise was in store for the four boys, thanks to Blaine's parents. Blaine was allowed to invite three friends. There were only two rooms, and Blaine had put Wes and Kurt together and David and himself together. When they arrived at Kurt's house, the chestnut haired boy walked out of the front door dragging a large suitcase behind him, and a small carry-on bag over his shoulder.
"Hey beautiful"
"Hey yourself."
"I'm so excited about this, I can't believe your dad finally said yes!"
"Talk about it!" Kurt smiled.
He walked over and kissed Kurt. They stayed lliplocked for about a minute until Wes tapped on the car window and the two blushed and pulled away.
"Come on, let's get your stuff in the car." Blaine smiled.
When they were settled in the car, Blaine driving with David shotgun, and Wes explaining Harry Potter to Kurt in the back, they drove for three hours straight.
Finally they drove up to port and unloaded their bags. Security was a breeze, and they began to climb the ramp to board the ship; each with their carry on.
They all gasped at the magnificent sight in front of them. A large marble staircase lead up to the second floor and a huge shiny wrap around bar curved around it. A small piano with pleasant music drifting from it was positioned in the middle of it all. The ceiling of the ship towered above the main floor, leading to the roof; a large and beautiful skylight allowing sunlight to pass through into the massive area inside the dome. Two all-glass elevators with blinking white lights on the edges shot up to the higher decks. The lower decks which held the sleeping quarters would require use of the stairs in the back of the halls.
The atmosphere seemed to be captivating to only three of the four, the curly-haired boy was shuffling through papers.
Blaine took command of the group; the sight only holding his attention for a moment.
"Kurt, Wes, David, go ahead and check to see if our room's ready, I paid extra to have it immediately ready to go into. U86 and U82" Blaine instructed, "I'll go check in and get our drink cards, dinner times, and a map of the ship for us."
Blaine kissed Kurt lightly before the trio went left and Blaine descended the stairs to the Costumer Help desk.
"Dude, you're blushing!" Wes laughed at Kurt playfully as they walked down the small hallways.
"Shut it!" Kurt smiled as he blushed deeper.
They came across U82 and Kurt claimed it as David went down two rooms to U86. Evens on the right, Kurt noted.
The room was half the size of a normal bedroom with two twin beds across from each other and two very small wooden nightstands at each end. A large vertical wooden closet was pressed against the wall between the ends of the beds. A small bathroom was on the opposite side from the closet. A little desk with a stool was beside the door.
Kurt sat down on the small bed and began organizing his travel stuff on the nightstand. Wes threw his bag on the floor and glanced at Kurt.
"When will our luggage get here?" Wes looked worried.
"It says rooms on the upper deck (U) will receive their luggage between 4:15 and 5:15 pm."
Kurt read off a pamphlet lying on the desk.
"Oh.. okay." Wes lost interest and desperately wanted to go explore.
"Let's go find Blaine!" Kurt happily offered.
"You are crazy about him, aren't you?" Wes laughed.
"I just wanted to see him," Kurt mumbled.
The two walked into the hallway and two doors down. Wes knocked and David opened the door to an identical room.
"We're going to find the other half of Klaine, want to come?"
David laughed at the words and then nodded his head.
"Let me grab my phone first."
Kurt sent Wes a 'was he serious' look as David reappeared.
"Um, David you do realize your phone isn't going to work out on the Ocean or in other countries unless you pay like a HUGE fee?"
"But it works fine now! Is it charging me?"
"We are still in port. Just turn it off now, and leave it in the safe."
The four sat at dinner. Dinner would be in the Celebration Lounge every night at six. David swore that would be the only time of day the other three would see him!
Under the table Kurt and Blaine held hands, Blaine's thumb rubbing circles into the back of Kurt's hand.
Both were eating with one hand, even though Kurt felt as if he could have just feasted on the butterflies in his stomach.
The cruise ship was moving with the large swells in the ocean, and the four boys were laughing as the stumbled over their feet walking to the welcome show in the Universe lounge after dinner. After finding some awesome seats on the balcony, Blaine and Kurt snuggled together on the padded bench seating. David and Wes rolled their eyes and joined hands subconsciously. Realizing what had happened both blushed and pulled their hands away, embarrassed.
"I love you soo much, ohh and your hair smells like lemons..mmmm" Blaine whispered into Kurt's ear.
"I love you more" Kurt giggled.
"I'm going to go throw up now; and not because of this rocking ship!" Wes pretended to gag
"I love me some Klaine!" David laughed.
Wes and David talked about random topics and Klaine snuggled and kissed the whole show.
Neither pair kept their attention on the presentation, and so when people began to leave, the four stood and walked out with the crowd. A shiny Rolex watch distracted Kurt from Blaine, and before the shorter boy realized it, his other half was not by his side; lost in the mob of people.
"Kurt?" Blaine shouted over the low roar of chatter.
Kurt didn't notice his name, and walked in the wrong direction when he left the jewelry stand. His eyes scanned the crowd of passengers for the curly haired boy.
Figuring they would meet again soon, Blaine walked into the elevator and pressed Deck 10, Lido deck. When he walked out he saw a small in-ground pool with a moat-thing around it to catch water from when the boat tilts and knocks it out. A large buffet, now closed for the night, stood behind the pool.
Blaine saw the stars in the pitch black sky and walked over to the railing. Far away from light pollution and land, the stars twinkled brighter than ever before. A sea of water and darkness stretched as far as the eye could see in all directions. Blaine sighed at the beauty.
"Pretty, isn't it?" A girl Blaine's age stood beside him but spoke to the sky,
"Very much so. Like nothing I have ever seen." Blaine spoke to the girl while starting at the water.
"It's my first cruise. It's so much fun already and it's only the first day!" The girl gasped in awe.
"Oh I know!" Blaine laughed.
The girl chuckled.
"Name's Blaine" Blaine finally turned to the girl with a smile.
"My name is Hope. Nice to meet you!" Hope smiled back.
"What room are you in?" In a movie the room would have been U84, but the girl replied
"U95"
"Wow! My room is… well either U82 or U86."
"Forget?" The girl laughed.
"No, I'm here with three friends, and two rooms. I don't know which one David chose as ours!" Blaine smiled.
"Well, I was about to head back down to my room. You can meet my brother and his girlfriend. He's four years older than me, so 22, and my parents said they could go together on this cruise as long as I was able to come."
"I can introduce you to my friends too, they are super friendly!' Blaine laughed.
He then realized he hadn't said boyfriend. His subconscious didn't want her to know he was gay just yet. She was really kind and beautiful, and Blaine felt happy when she grabbed his hand as they walked down the hallway to steady herself before letting go.
Blaine approached U86 and knocked on the door. David answered.
"Hey Blaine, we lost you after the show! Who dis be?"
"Hey David! This is Hope, we just met up on the Lido deck, and her room is a few down."
"Hey Hope! Has she met Wes or Kurt yet?" David could see the hope in this girl's eyes; Blaine had innocently led her on, and David knew it.
"Nope; but she will have in a minute!" Blaine laughed and began walking toward U82.
Before Blaine reached the door Kurt opened it.
"Heard you in the hallway" Kurt laughed. "Who is this?"
Blaine introduced Hope, and left out boyfriend when introducing Kurt to Hope.
Wes appeared and Blaine repeated the introduction.
"Well, goodnight Hope."
"Night! See you round!"
"Yeah, see you!"
Blaine sighed as he leaned against Kurt's doorframe. He glanced over at his boyfriend and was confused at the odd look on Kurt's face.
"What's wrong beautiful?" Blaine reached out to stroke Kurt's face. Kurt turned his head away and shot a disapproving look at Blaine.
"You're leading her on." Kurt held up a finger when Blaine tried to defend himself, "I could tell by the look in her eyes!"
"She didn't seem in-" Kurt cut Blaine off
"She was head over heels for this gorgeous, super friendly guy who she met under the stars and then he walked her to her room!" Kurt whisper-yelled.
"I deny walking her to her room, and I was just being polite. As soon as she realizes that you are my very amazing boyfriend, she will forget about her feelings towards me."
"Would it of killed you to introduce me to her as that?" Kurt mumbled.
"What?"
"Nothing."
"Okay, goodnight my love." Blaine smiled and pulled Kurt into a wonderful goodnight kiss.
Kurt's head spun and his thoughts mixed as Blaine held him in his arms and kissed him gently.
*BREAK*
Kurt lay in the darkness; the only sounds being Wes's breathing and the occasional soft footsteps walking past the two's room in the hallway. He sighed and rolled over. His lips still tasted like Blaine; creamy vanilla mixed with happiness, cologne, and a touch of mint. Mmm.. Kurt sighed again. He wished Blaine was here.
Blaine lay in the darkness; the only sounds being David's breathing and the occasional soft footsteps outside the door. Pointing out invisible patterns on the ceiling was growing tiresome; all he could think about was Kurt. Blaine quietly stepped out of bed. He threw a t-shirt and shorts over his boxers and grabbed his room key.
Kurt heard a soft tapping interrupting the silence of the night. 2: 33 am. Who could it be?
Please be awake, please be awake Blaine hoped as he tapped at Kurt's door.
When it swung open the two boys smiled.
"Hey" They whispered in unison.
Kurt motioned for Blaine to hold on while Kurt pulled on a white shirt and black shorts.
He picked up his key off the desk and walked into the hallway.
"Let's go!" Kurt giggled
"We're nuts!" Blaine laughed as he ate another piece of pizza.
"Oh yes, absolute party animals!" Kurt laughed at Blaine biting the hot cheese of his slice.
"Common eat a slice, you're making me feel like a pig!" Blaine moaned
"Fine. One piece." Kurt ended up eating two slices, and feeding one to Blaine.
After their midnight snack in the deserted café area, the two lovebirds went to sit out on the deck.
Kurt gripped Blaine's hand and rested his head on the other boy's shoulder.
"I love you." Kurt sighed into Blaine's shoulder.
"I love you too." Blaine nuzzled his head into Kurt's hair until the taller boy leaned in for a kiss.
"Fancy seeing you two here."
The couple broke apart and swiveled around. Wes and David stood in the doorway to the deck in PJ's and robes.
"Hey guys.. ha-ha" Blaine awkwardly laughed.
"You scared me half to death Kurt!" Wes pronounced.
"Eh, I didn't really care about Blaine, but I couldn't let Wes go alone." David smirked.
"Sorry. We couldn't sleep." Kurt offered.
"Whatever. Hey they have karaoke in the lounge tomorrow, want to come?"
Kurt and Blaine looked at each other before shrugging their shoulders and standing up.
"Sure. Let's all go to bed now though." Kurt suggested.
Blaine stretched both his hands in the air and on the way down grabbed Kurt's hand.
When they reached Wes and Kurt's room, Blaine said," Wes, do you want to move in with David? Pleaseee?"
"We figured. You're already moved in." Wes tossed him his key and walked into the room two doors down.
"Oh my gosh, you guys are nuts!" Blaine laughed.
The four laughed as they walked in their rooms.
Kurt and Blaine walked in their new room and the countertenor walked over to his bed.
"We should have started out this way." Kurt smiled.
"I know, I just thought my parents would be happier, you know."
"It's really late! We might actually want to wake up in the morning you know." Kurt grinned and shut his eyes tight.
"I guess you're right, goodnight love."
"Goodnight Blaine."
