Hi guys

Sorry again that there wasn't a chapter yesterday but at least today's final exam went really well, I think I passed this one=) Last one is tomorrow and then I have like a writing portfolio to hand in on Wednesday and then it's Christmas time=) Soo excited!

Just so you know, I do have one of those spray bottles at home, I believe it's devil's clamp but I don't even know where my mum got it from but she treated the whole family with it.

We have tons of snow here. Where there's a tiny bit of snow where my university is (Zurich) but there's a lot of snow where I live and I can't wait to have time to go snowboarding!=)

Once again I don't know whether there will be a chapter tomorrow because of the writing portfolio but I'll do my best!

This is just something short and sweet (hopefully)=)

Disclaimer: I don't own Glee!

December 15th

Blaine came bouncing to his locker the next morning where Kurt and Tina were already chatting.

"I feel great, my muscles aren't the least bit sore," he explained the huge smile on his face.

"Well, you won't be so happy after we tell you what Finn and Mike have come up with," Tina warned him.

"Yeah, they feel like they have to go all Vocal Adrenaline on us and have scheduled a twenty-four hour rehearsal," Kurt explained but Blaine didn't looked too impressed at all.

"Oh, I know, that was partly my idea," he told the two who were looking at him with big eyes, "we need all the rehearsal we can get if we want to stand a chance against the Trouble Tones."

"What is it with you and Finn suddenly acting like you've been best friends all along?" Kurt asked suspiciously but Blaine just laughed at him and said, "Well I can't be fighting with my boyfriend's brother forever, can I?"

"Well, of course I had to change today's surprise but I think you'll like it anyway," Kurt said and handed him the red envelope.

I want to share everything with you, even the simplest things.

Love, Kurt

"Kurt, I'm serious, can't you make it obvious just once?" Blaine groaned and Tina grabbed the note but didn't seem to get it either.

"Now where would the fun be in that?" Kurt asked with an innocent smile on his lips.

Blaine linked arms with Tina and said, "Come, we don't have to listen to this evil man!" He shot a childishly sullen look back over his shoulder and dragged Tina to their first class, the two of them trying to figure out what he and Kurt could possibly share.

Twenty-four hour rehearsal started at noon and would end in the evening of the next day. It wasn't exactly twenty-four hours long but they weren't quite like Vocal Adrenaline yet, after all. They still had to get some sleep and of course Figgins would never allow them to speak school for Glee club. It was already a big accomplishment that he allowed them to use the gym over night.

"Alright, guys," Mr Shue silenced the chattering group that was all dressed in sports clothes and explained, "Finn, Blaine and I have already done the song selection since we're rather behind schedule."

Finn and Blaine went to stand beside Mr Shue and announced the songs and who would sing what parts of them.

Mr Shue spoke again, "Mike was up all night figuring out a dance routine that will help us outshine the Trouble Tones."

Mike went to stand beside the three men as well and said, "It's the toughest choreography we've ever done but with this extra rehearsal time we'll manage to master it until tomorrow night."

Quinn was the first one to jump to her feet and clap her hands like a boxer in the ring, ready to knock out her opponent. Soon everyone joined her and the room was filled with excitement for the new hope they had.

Dance rehearsal was no short of the hardest thing some of the members of New Directions had ever done. Especially Rory seemed to be having a hard time remembering all the steps, arm movements and positions. And of course, having to sing while they were dancing their heart out did not make the task any easier.

"Alright guys, that's it for today," Mike finally announced at 10, clearly out of breath.

They got out the big mattresses and scattered them all over the gym. Mr Shue felt that his students were too tired to try anything so he let them make their own sleeping arrangements. Finn, Sam and Rory put their mattresses in a circle in the middle with the band dudes that had joined their team and who will probably never want to perform with them again after today's torture. Puck and Quinn had their own little nest in a corner and Mike and Tina occupied another corner.

That, of course, left two corners to choose from for Blaine and Kurt and Blaine tiredly followed his boyfriend to one of them.

Kurt went around with the spray bottle of his miracle cure for sore muscles and Blaine almost fell asleep before Kurt returned.

"Hey sleepyhead, wanna know what you get to share with me today?" Kurt asked softly and with some effort, Blaine managed to open his eyes one more time.

His did however not want to use his energy to speak so he just looked at Kurt expectantly.

Kurt chuckled, "Come here, share my sleeping bag with me," he asked softly.

Kurt's voice was so heart-warmingly sweet that Blaine couldn't help but oblige. In a last effort of his muscles he rolled over to Kurt and his boyfriend closed the extra large sleeping bag around them.

Soon, Kurt's arms were wrapped tightly around him and he had his arms weakly sprawled over Kurt's chest.

"Good night, baby," Kurt whispered into Blaine's ear and the chuckle that Blaine couldn't hold back already showed the first signs of how sore exactly he was going to be the next day.

"I thought you were never going to call me that aloud?" he asked amusedly.

"Well you're acting like one, moping around, lying on my chest like a new-born and more importantly, you're cute as a little toddler," Kurt replied and pressed another kiss to Blaine's forehead.

"I love you," Blaine simply replied and it was all that Kurt needed to drift of to sleep, not even staying awake long enough to say the words back. Not that Blaine would have heard him – the boy was already wandering in dream land.

I have an exam tomorrow that basically consists of writing an academic essay about some aspect of American culture. I don't know what aspect, of course but it's probably going to be whether the US is a secular state. So I have to know quite a lot of statistics by heart. Did you know that like 90 percent of Americans say that they pray everyday? We're not nearly as religious here so that's quite a surprising number for me but the lecture on religion in America in general was incredibly interesting.
