Tuesday for Blaine was a very busy day. He knew he had to find a great Christmas present for Kurt. Yes, he should have already gotten it but anything he found never seemed to be good enough. He wanted to find something perfect. Just like Kurt, He thought.
And he had to find it soon too because tomorrow was the big Christmas party. Every year Wes' family through a huge Christmas party and he invited all of the Warblers to come. It was kind of a tradition for them. It took some talking in to for Kurt to agree to come though. He said that he felt like he was intruding because he has just become a part of the group. But they had insisted he was already part of their dysfunctional family. Blaine and Kurt had agreed to exchange presents there.
After searching the mall for hours and finding nothing Blaine was about to give up. But then he remembered a magazine Kurt had been reading and something he had pointed out to him.
"Ah, why didn't I think of this sooner!" He yelled out in excitement.
He grabbed his phone and called up one of his dad's friends. "Hey, I'm going to need a favor."
Kurt was so ready for this Christmas. He had already bought gifts for his family and even picked up something small for everyone in his old glee club. But he was mostly proud of himself for already having Blaine's gift and not having to freak out about it. He wanted everything to be ready so that he could enjoy his break to the fullest. He loved all of his new friends at Dalton, but he just really missed all of the old ones too. Mercedes and Kurt usually talked on the phone and he would text everyone else but it wasn't the same. He missed being able to gossip with his girls or his over protective guy friends. But he also knew that being at Dalton was better for his safety. And even if his friends missed him, they completely understood that.
When Blaine had told Kurt about Wes' party he was nervous at first. He didn't want to barge in on a party with people he barley knew. Well, he knew Blaine, Wes, and David. But he didn't want to be there if no one wanted him to be. But everyone had insisted that he was a part of the group now. He loved that feeling of acceptance. They didn't care what his background was or whether or not he was gay, they liked him for who he was. Although, it did take some reassuring to Kurt's dad that he would be fine staying the night there. He had told him to be careful and since Blaine was going to be there, "no funny business!" To which Kurt replied with a, "We're just friends dad!" But Burt couldn't see how much he was blushing on his end of the line.
Once Tuesday turned into Wednesday Kurt found himself rushing around his dorm packing all of the stuff he needed to take home for the break and to take to Wes' house. He made sure to pack some pajamas, a tooth brush, and everything else he would need including Blaine's gift. Speaking of Blaine, I wonder where he is. Kurt thought.
Blaine had made multiple phone calls but after chatting with some family friends he managed to have what he wanted delivered to Dalton. After tipping the delivery guy he hurried up and tucked the gift into a bag he brought, just incase Kurt happened to be in their room.
He ran up the stairs and to his dorm and when he opened the door his suspicions were confirmed. There was Kurt running around throwing things into his suitcase.
"Woe! Relax, you have plenty of time." Blaine chuckled at how Kurt was speeding.
"I just want everything to be ready so I don't have to worry about it later." Kurt put the last of his stuff in his suitcase and zipped it up. "There, I have my suitcase to go home and my overnight bag for Wes' house." He gestured to a packed bag on the floor.
"Cool, do you want to go get some breakfast?" Seeing as it was only 10 am and Blaine was starving.
"Yea, sure but don't you have to pack?" Kurt asked looking around for Blaine's suitcase.
"Nah, I'm good to go." Blaine almost seemed to look; sad.
Kurt eyed him suspiciously but he just smiled back in return. He decided not to say anything else; maybe he was just imagining things.
The day went by quickly and Kurt and Blaine were now in separate cars driving up to Wes' house; Kurt following Blaine because he hadn't been there before and didn't know the way. As much as they didn't want to, they agreed to take separate cars because they weren't going back to Dalton afterwards.
The drive wasn't to long; about an hour. For the last 10 minutes Kurt had thought that maybe Blaine was lost because all he could see was trees and the occasional farm. But then Blaine turned right onto a nicely paved road in the clearing of the woods. He followed him staring at the trees around him until Blaine came to stop. He rolled down the window and stuck his head out to see a huge black gate with pillars on either side that attached to a fence around the land.
Blaine pushed a button on a call, said something, and then the gate opened. Kurt continued to follow Blaine on the large winding drive-way path. Kurt looked to the left out of his window and actually gasped. There was the biggest house he had ever seen in his entire life.
It was a gorgeous stone house with a huge covered pool in front. Kurt would usually think that a pool should go in the back but this house was so secluded that it didn't matter. There was not a neighbor in sight that would be looking over. And plus this pool was amazing. Not only was it an outstanding size, but it had a bridge that led right through the middle. It was embedded in a cement patio which was down a few feet from the actual house. Stone stairs led up to the mansion. And the mansion sure was beautiful. It had too many windows for Kurt to count, along with a second story balcony four times the size of his room. This house was breath taking.
He continued to stare while he followed Blaine to a parking lot around the back of the house. When they finally got out of their cars Blaine had to laugh at Kurt's facial expression.
"Nice, huh?" Blaine smiled also staring up at the house, although he had been here plenty of times.
All Kurt could do was nod.
"Come on, he said we could come through the back." He motioned for Kurt to follow him and they went in the side door of the four car garage, leaving there sleepover stuff in their cars to get later.
Kurt gasped once again. There was a brand new BMW on a turn table on the far left with a bow on it.
"Yeah." Blaine pointed at the car. "That's Wes' Christmas present."
"Oh." Kurt replied, and they entered a finished basement. It was carpeted with a stone fireplace built into the wall and a giant television next to it with couches all around. To the right was a bar and to the left a pool table. The basement had to be bigger than Kurt's entire house. Blaine then led him up the stairs to the house.
Just as Kurt imagined, it was even more gorgeous on the inside. He was now in a kitchen the size of his entire first floor. All of the furniture was completely modern and he absolutely loved it. The counter tops were granite with an island in the middle with bar stools up next to it. The electric stove was built into the island while the double oven was built into the wall; all of the appliances being stainless steel. The house just seemed very open. The kitchen led to a living room on the right and a dining room on the left. The house was full of music and chatter and the smell of delicious foods. It was decorated with wreaths and holly and sophisticated candles everywhere. Kurt was just marveling in the beauty of it all.
He was brought of his trance when he was turned around and hugged.
"Hey! I'm so glad you guys showed up!" Wes almost yelled, grabbing Blaine and hugging him too.
Kurt smiled, "You have a beautiful house!"
"Thank You!" Wes grabbed both of their hands, "Come join us!"
Wes led them into a den where all of the Warblers were sitting around, talking, eating, dancing. It took Kurt a minute to recognize them without the blazers. The fire place built into the wall was lit and radiating heat throughout the room making it the perfect cozy yet fun-filled place.
"Guys, the whole gang is here now!" Wes yelled and everyone turned and greeted Kurt and Blaine. "Let's get this party started!"
A lot of the evening consisted of dancing. Kurt spent a little while sitting down because he was always sort of embarrassed to dance. He just didn't know how to dance with another person. How close should he stand? What should his facial expression be? Was he creeping the other person out?
"Kurt!"
"Huh? What?" Kurt shook his head and looked up to see Blaine standing next to him.
"Are you okay?" The music wasn't as loud where Kurt was sitting so he could actually here Blaine now.
"Yeah sorry, just zoning out." He laughed a little internally slapping himself.
"Happens to me all the time." Blaine smiled. "Want to dance with me?"
Kurt started panicking to come up with an excuse but couldn't think of one. What the heck, why not? He smiled. "Yea sure!"
He got up and followed Blaine to the middle of the enormous room where a crowd of people where dancing. The song was pretty upbeat so he and Blaine just jumped around each other dancing. No touching, just laughing and innocent dance moves.
What they didn't notice was Wes and David watching from across the room.
"We may not have to use the plan after all. They seem to be doing a pretty good job by themselves." David said nodding his head to gesture towards the dancing boys.
"We'll let them go for a while, but I think we should do it just in case." Wes said grinning.
After a few songs Kurt was starting to tire out so he was glad was he heard the next song come on. They slowed down their dancing and changed into a slower dancing position; them holding hands in the air with their hands on each others backs. Not to close but not to far away either.
Kurt sang the first line and Blaine picked up on the second.
I really can't stay - But baby it's cold outside
I've got to go away - But baby it's cold outside
This evening has been - Been hoping that you'd drop in
So very nice - I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice
They both looked to their conjoined hands and then back at each other.
My mother will start to worry - Beautiful, what's your hurry?
My father will be pacing the floor - Listen to the fireplace roar
So really I'd better scurry - Beautiful, please don't hurry
Well maybe just a half a drink more - Put some records on while I pour
They danced around each other sharing flirty glances and laughing as they did.
I simply must go - But, baby, it's cold outside.
The answer is no - But, baby, it's cold outside.
This welcome has been - How lucky that you dropped in.
So nice and warm - Look out the window at that storm.
My sister will be suspicious - Gosh, your lips look delicious.
And Kurt could have sworn he saw Blaine glance at his lips before continuing. It was brief so maybe it was just his imagination, and it left his mind as they continued.
As the song came to a close they realized just how close their faces were and looked away shyly. A fast non-Christmas song came on next so they didn't have to worry about an awkward silence.
"I think I'm going to get a drink. You want something?" Blaine said finally looking back up at Kurt.
"Uh, yea sure."
And with that Blaine walked away to get them drinks and Kurt let out a breath he didn't know he was holding.
Kurt was thinking about how much fun this sleepover was going to be. Blaine was the only guy he ever had one with. Something occurred to him then. He looked around and spotted Wes in the crowd. He didn't look preoccupied so he walked over and pulled him to the hallway where it was quieter.
"Hey Kurt! What's up?"
"Well I was wondering. Blaine told me that he had never had a sleepover before. But I thought he slept here during your annual parties?"
"No he goes home before the night is over. He says his parents always want him home as soon as possible. I'm really not sure why."
"But he is staying over tonight." Kurt was still confused.
"Really? That's awesome! Maybe his parents loosened up for once and let him have some fun!" Wes looked like he wasn't really fond of Blaine's parents.
"Yeah maybe." Kurt decided he would ask Blaine about it later.
The rest of the party was going pretty well. Kurt decided that he really liked Wes' family. They had a lot of money but they didn't flash it around and be snooty about it. They were all genially nice people.
A slower, quieter song came on and Kurt took the opportunity to find Blaine and ask him about the sleepover situation. As he was searching the crowd he didn't notice Wes and David's absence.
Back in Wes' room, David and he were dividing mistletoe between each other.
"Here," said Wes handing David a piece. "Follow me."
They made sure no one was looking and darted down the stairs to the basement. After hiding the mistletoe in the holly that was hung atop the ceiling they smiled at each other in success.
"So, all we have to do is get Klaine to stand under them and then mission accomplished."
"Exactly." Wes held up his hand, which David high fived.
Kurt finally spotted Blaine in the crowd of people. He was just kneeled down chatting with Wes' little sister who couldn't be more than 6 or 7. Kurt took note of how well he seemed to be with kids. He would make a great father one day. Woe! Where did that come from?
Kurt shook the fantasy from his head and walked over to Blaine and the little girl. He crouched down to their height and spoke to the girl. "Hi, sweetie. What's your name?" He didn't have to yell now because the music seemed to become slower and quieter for a little while.
She smiled back at Kurt as did Blaine. "I'm Jenny. What's your name?"
"I'm Kurt." He held out his hand. "Nice to meet you, Jenny."
She seemed pleased to be treated more adult like and shook his hand.
Jenny looked between Kurt and Blaine. "Are you having fun?"
"Oh yes, your house is very nice." Blaine replied politely.
She giggled and smiled. "Thank you."
Kurt then remembered why he wanted to talk to Blaine. "Do you mind if I take Blaine for a few minutes?"
Jenny shook her head. "That's okay. He is your boyfriend not mine."
Kurt and Blaine looked each other blushing. They turned to explain to Jenny that they were not in fact dating but she was already skipping away over to her parents.
"So you wanted to talk to me?" Blaine said, trying to look past the awkward moment.
"Yea can I ask you something?"
"You just did." Blaine said smirking.
"Ha-ha very funny." Kurt said sarcastically but he was smiling.
Blaine looked accomplished at his joke. "But in all seriousness, go right ahead." He smiled gesturing to Kurt.
Kurt decided to act like he didn't already go, well snooping. So he started by asking Blaine what he had already asked Wes.
"I was just wondering. You said that you have never been to a sleepover before ours, right?"
"That is correct." Blaine nodded waiting for Kurt to continue.
"Well, haven't you slept over here for Wes' parties?"
If Kurt didn't know any better he would have sworn that Blaine's facial expression turned a little sad.
"My parents usually want me home. I doubt it's actually because they want to see me, more to ruin my fun. They let me come to the parties but never stay over."
"So, you aren't staying over tonight then?" Kurt was still confused.
"No, I am."
I officially have no clue what's going on. "So, your parents changed their minds this year?"
"Nope, they are on a business trip so they will never know." Blaine smirked.
"Oh, I get it now. So then they will be back tomorrow before Christmas?"
Blaine shook his head. "No, they are gone until Tuesday. I'm staying at Dalton for a few days until they return."
Kurt couldn't believe what he was hearing. "You're spending Christmas alone?!"
"Hmm, yea I guess so." Blaine said it like it was no big deal, but Kurt was having none of it.
He shook he head in disbelief. "Oh no, you're not. You are staying at me house."
Blaine looked shocked. "No, no, no! Kurt, I could never impose on your family like that!"
"You wouldn't be imposing! I can't stand the thought of someone having to spend Christmas alone." Kurt was almost begging him to come.
"I'll be fine, Kurt. Trust me." He tried to reassure him but you could see the slight sadness in his eyes.
"Nonsense! You will not be alone on Christmas even if I have to kidnap you and drag you to my house." Kurt didn't know when it happened but somehow his and Blaine's hand found each other, their fingers interlaced.
Blaine looked down at their conjoined hands and then back to Kurt's pleading face. He smiled knowing how much Kurt actually cared. "Alright, I can't really argue with that."
Kurt let go of Blaine's hand to grab him into a hug. Neither of them knew about the other's huge smile because being this close to each other just felt right.
When Kurt pulled away he started laughing at which Blaine gave him a questioning look. Kurt just smirked back.
"You, my dear friend are in for an interesting weekend with the Hudmels."
