A friend from university taught me how to make a Latte Macchiato without coffee (because I don't like coffee..). He works at a café when he's not at uni and he clearly knows what he's talking about, it's delicious=) Anyway drinking it by candlelight totally gets me into Christmas spirit which, in turn, made me write this, so a thank you to him=) Unfortunately I have to work this weekend, seriously I have uni all week and then work on the weekend? I can't wait for my two months off after Christmas=)

Disclaimer: I still don't own Glee and if they don't put their songs on "our" iTunes, I'll never own those either..

December 3rd

Blaine stirred in his sleep and Kurt let out a "Finally!"

"Well if this isn't the way every guy wants to be greeted by his boyfriend in the morning…" Blaine laughed.

"Sorry, it just really took you forever to wake up this morning." Kurt pressed a kiss to his boyfriend's lips, grabbed his clothes and disappeared in the bathroom.

The two boys had a deal that neither of them would ever get up before the other was awake. Kurt himself had established the rule after he had woken up alone in Blaine's bed the morning after the first night they had spent together. Kurt had said that he had felt like some floozy, left alone in the bed of a stranger, so now they always waited for the other to wake up.

Blaine stretched and almost dozed off again until he hear the water running in the bathroom. Something Blaine could never get over was the thought of Kurt in the shower. At the beginning of their relationship, Kurt would just innocently make a comment about how he had to end their phone call because he had to hit the shower, completely unaware of what that would do to Blaine. In the course of the six months, however, Kurt slowly became aware of his sexuality and of how much he could tease his boyfriend. So when Kurt got back from the bathroom, a shower was exactly what Blaine needed.

Kurt lay down on his bed when he felt something vibrate against his stomach. Blaine had gotten a text from Nick. Curiously, he opened it and a smirk crossed his face. This would be very useful as a surprise, he thought and quickly deleted the text before Blaine got back.

Kurt went down to the kitchen to make breakfast, finding Rachel already sitting on the table, reading the newspaper. Burt and Carole were obviously already out working.

"Good morning, is Finn still in bed?" Kurt asked cheerfully

Rachel merely gave him a incredulous glance over the top of the newspaper. "You know your brother, he'd sleep till noon everyday if we'd let him."

Rachel was right of course; nobody could get Finn to wake up before eleven on weekends. His girlfriend however was the complete opposite; nobody could get her to stay in bed longer than until eight although Finn had managed to get another hour by just holding her tightly, refusing to let go of the warmth.

Kurt and Rachel began preparing breakfast which of course could not go down without them breaking into random Broadway songs. They were swirling around the kitchen, setting the table and making pancakes and Kurt laid the red envelope onto Blaine's plate.

Blaine joined them during Kurt and Rachel's hilarious attempt of singing in deep voices for the Work Song from Les Misérables. He teased them, joining in and effortlessly hitting those deep notes, which got him a playful smack on the arm from Kurt who commanded him to make toast.

The three were swirling through the kitchen, belting out Dancing Through Life when Finn finally joined the party and he was just on time to sit down to eating.

Everyone stared expectantly at Blaine who was now opening the envelope but again, the note that was inside didn't answer many questions.

Blow the candles out.

Love, Kurt

It was clearly a reference to their Regionals performance of last year. Maybe Kurt had finally found a song to audition for a duet at Sectionals?

But a questioning glance towards his boyfriends was merely answered with a "my-lips-are-sealed" smile.

Rachel left after breakfast and Puck came over for a round of Battlefield 3. Finn showed Puck the note and the boy turned to Kurt: "Blowing out candles? Wanky! I didn't know you had it in you, Hummel, I feel like a proud big brother now." He ruffled Kurt's hair, which, of course was always the wrong move with the boy.

"How many times do I have to tell you and Finn, I am the oldest around here", Kurt complained, deciding to ignore the dirty comment about his note.

Blaine, very unlike his boyfriend, loved video games, something that probably came naturally with going to an all-boys school for years.

So the four boys settled down in the living room, Finn and Puck on the couch, the other two took up their position from last night with Blaine settled between Kurt's legs. Kurt contented himself with playing with Blaine's – for once unruly – curls, while the other three were shouting at the screen and physically assaulting their controllers. After an hour Kurt excused himself to go up to his room and the others spent the rest of the afternoon watching a Buckeyes game.

This gave Kurt enough time to set up his surprise. His dad and Carole would be back around seven and he had gotten Rachel to invite Finn over to her place at around five. That meant that the two boys had the house to themselves for two hours. Of course, the most important thing was that it was dark outside during those two hours. Of what use would candles be if it weren't?

"So, did they at least win?" Kurt asked when he went down to the living room at four thirty. "Yeah, there were some pretty amazing…", Blaine was thinking of a way to paraphrase what was going on in the game but stopped himself since Kurt would not really care anyway.

"I'm gonna go to Rachel's house for a couple of hours", Finn announced and switched off the TV.

Kurt waited for the sound of Finn's car driving away until he made his way over to the couch. He sprawled over the length of the couch, positioning his head comfortably in Blaine's lap.

"Soo, are you ready for today's surprise?" he asked his boyfriend who nodded eagerly.

"Well, it's upstairs so we should probably get up…" But Blaine had other ideas and bent down to press his lips to Kurt's. The latter wrapped his arms around his boyfriend's neck to deepen the kiss and, without breaking it, he shifted in his position until he was sitting in Blaine's lap.

Strategically, Kurt decided that he might as well make out with Blaine on the couch until it was dark enough outside. When things got a little too heated he broke the kiss and moved away to sit beside Blaine, taking a few deep breaths.

"I think now we're definitely ready for your surprise", Kurt laughed and got up, holding out his hand for Blaine. He intertwined their fingers and they walked up the stairs to come to a stand in front of Kurt's closed door.

"Go ahead, open it", Kurt smiled at his boyfriend and Blaine opened the door.

There were only three candles that lit the room, one for each day of December they had already spent together.

Kurt gestured to the one closest to Blaine, which was obviously intended to be the first one to go to. The candle cast a dim light onto a little note that lay beside it.

I love you because you make me feel like I'm living a teenage dream.

Remembering what the note in the morning had said, Blaine blew out the candles and turned around to see Kurt standing close behind him.

"I know I've said this a million times but I'm so thankful that it was you I stopped on those stairs at Dalton", Kurt whispered, not wanting to disturb the peacefulness of the room. The two boys got lost in another kiss before Kurt pulled away and led Blaine to the next candle.

I love you because a touch of the fingertips IS as sexy as it gets.

Blaine blew out the candle and this time he didn't even have to turn around because Kurt proved his point by sliding his hands under Blaine's shirt, letting his fingertips wander over the hot skin of his stomach. Blaine let himself get lost in the touch but once again Kurt pulled and Blaine wandered over to the last source of light in the room.

I love you because you're mine.

Blaine let the candle burn because he wanted to be able to see Kurt's eyes before he blew it out. He slowly turned around but Kurt was standing a few steps away from him. Blaine closed the distance and came to stand before Kurt, their bodies almost touching.

"I know I'm just silly romantic", Kurt said quietly and Blaine almost laughed at the reference but he just smiled and remembered his answer.

"It's not silly", he said and finally closed the gap between them and this time there was no pulling away.

The night after those words had been spoken for the first time had been magical and Blaine didn't think that anything could ever make him happier than reliving that magic with Kurt.

SPOILER: oh my god did anyone see that preview of Kurt, Blaine and Sebastian? It literally had me squealing=)
And just saying, if you haven't seen the Glee Moment video of Chris Colfer on kissing, you seriously haven't lived! My friend and I were cracking up sooo hard even after we had seen it like 10 times=)
