"Welcome home, Blaine!" Kurt said cheerily, providing his body for support to Blaine, who was still sore from surgery.
Blaine smiled up at his boyfriend, leaning against his side.
"I'm happy to be here."
Burt shuffled past the boys, carrying Blaine's belongings that he had picked up the night before on his way home from the hospital, after making plans for Blaine to move in with them.
"Kurt, if you would like, go ahead and take Blaine up to your room. I'll take his bags up there and you can unpack for him while he rests on your bed." Burt called over his shoulder, as he made his way upstairs.
"You sure you're up for a trip up the stairs, or would you prefer me to carry you?" Kurt asked his boyfriend.
Blaine thought it over for a minute, until deciding that, while it might be more of a pain for Kurt, he really wanted to be held at the moment. And, after all, he was shorter. And Kurt wouldn't have offered if he wasn't up for it. Blaine gave Kurt his sweetest smile before saying,
"Actually... carrying me up to your room doesn't sound like such a bad idea..."
Kurt gave his boyfriend a huge smile before gently sweeping him up into his arms, bridal style, carrying him up to his room, both laughing joyfully the entire way. As they entered Kurt's room, Blaine still in Kurt's arms, both blushing from laughter, Burt couldn't help but smile at the boys, glad they could still find joy in one another after the events that had happened.
Burt excused himself from Kurt's room, giving the two boys privacy to unpack. Burt even went as far as shutting the door behind him, trusting that Blaine was too tired for the pair to get up to anything inappropriate.
"Soo... how do you like your new room? Is everything to your specifications?" Kurt asked, grinning cheekily at Blaine, while making space in his closet and drawers for Blaine's clothes.
Blaine, who was laying on Kurt's bed, but still wide awake, answered with a wink,
"Yeah... I guess... I mean, there's nothing special about it, but I suppose I can make do..."
Kurt, pretending to be insulted by Blaine's joking words, gasped and gently tossed a pillow in Blaine's direction, hitting Blaine square in the face.
"Hey! You can't hit me! I have cancer!"
Even though it was said in a joking manner, the mood in the room suddenly shifted. Kurt immediately began apologizing.
"Blaine. Oh my god. I'm so sorry. I didn't even think. And you just got done with surgery... what if I had hurt you? Oh my god! Did I hurt you?"
Blaine instantly regretted his joke, seeing his boyfriend react with such worry. Blaine reached his arms out, motioning for Kurt to come join him on the bed. Kurt gradually made his way over to Blaine, too afraid to get close, in case he might cause any damage to the fragile teen. But Blaine wasn't having it. As soon as Kurt was close enough, Blaine latched on to him and pulled him into to bed with him, both boys wrapped up in one another.
"Baby... shhhh. It's ok. I was only joking. I didn't mean to upset you. You didn't hurt me. I'm fine. I swear. It was only a joke. I'm not so fragile. You don't have to worry." Blaine assured his boyfriend, rubbing soothing circles on Kurt's lower back. Kurt relaxed at his touch, resting his head on Blaine's chest, wrapping his arms gently, but protectively, around Blaine, their legs intertwining.
"I know... I know... I just... I- I'm so scared that you'll end up getting hurt. What if I forget how fragile you are and end up hurting you. We have to worry about this for the next six months. Things aren't going to be normal again for six whole months." Kurt buried his head deeper into Blaine's chest, breathing in Blaine's scent in hopes that it would calm him down. It did... but only a little.
"Kurt... I don't know what to say. Yeah, things are going to be different. But only for six months. Yeah, I'm going to have to be careful... but only for six months. And I trust you. You're not going to hurt me. I'm sure of this. So stop worrying so much and don't be afraid to hold on to me even tighter. In fact, I think I might prefer it if you did." Blaine said with a small giggle at the end. Kurt complied to his request, holding on to Blaine even tighter, bringing their bodies even closer together.
"Kurt, baby, how about this. Let's talk about what we'll do after all of this is over."
Kurt lifted his head, looking into Blaine's eyes, unshed tears glistening in his blue/green eyes.
"Well, we'll live in New York City," Kurt began.
"Obviously" Blaine said, nodding his head in agreement. Blaine continued,
"And we'll have a pent house, with a room for all of my instruments... the piano, guitar, violin, cello, harmonica..."
"A room for your harmonica? Seriously, Blaine?"
"What? My harmonica is very important to me. How else am I going to back you up when you sing the Beatles?"
"True, true..." Kurt said, laughing at his crazy boyfriend.
"And since I get a room for my music, you should get a craft room. You can bedazzle everything we own, and design clothes and layouts for your own fashion magazine- Kurtsie."
"Kurtsie? Where in the world do you come up with your crazy ideas..."
Blaine feigned being insulted,
"Are you trying to tell me that my brilliant ideas aren't fabulous? Kurtsie is an awesome name for your fashion magazine. You have to agree. Come on!"
At this point, Kurt could no longer control his laughter.
"Fine... fine... Kurtsie is a pretty awesome name. Now I'm just scared of what you're going to name our kids-"
Kurt broke off the end of his sentence, realizing what he had just said.. that he wanted kids with Blaine. But Blaine wasn't phased at all.
"Sami if it's a girl, Harry if it's a boy."
Blaine smiled down at his boyfriend, and Kurt couldn't hide the love showing on his face, even if he wanted to.
"You are such a dork, Blaine Anderson. And I love you... so, so much."
Blaine leaned over to give his boyfriend a gentle kiss on the lips, before returning the sentiment.
"I love you too, Kurt Hummel."
Both boys continued to smile at one another, before Blaine continued,
"It's going to happen, you know."
Kurt scrunched up his face in confusion,
"What is?"
"Our future." Blaine responded with a shrug.
Kurt pulled Blaine down for another kiss, this one still gentle, but more passionate. Then, the two boys snuggled even closer together and fell asleep in each others arms, thoughts of a future together filling their dreams... and all thoughts of cancer far, far away.
A/N: Ahhhh, happy happy Klaine! I just can't keep them sad and angsty for long at all... hahaha.
A bit of a time jump in the next chapter... Blaine will be starting chemo. More angst to come. But don't worry, there will be more happy times like this in Klaine's future. :)
Reviews=me loving you forever. I'd love to know what you think :)
