Blaine lazed on the couch, waiting for his parents to come home from their Christmas party. It was kind of sad, wasn't it? His parents didn't even want to be with him on Christmas. Kurt had left and now he was all alone. He had assured Kurt that his parents would be home momentarily and that he should go on ahead to be with his own family. Suddenly his pocket began vibrating, he tugged his phone out and answered it instantly
"Hello?"
"Blaine?" asked a shaky voice on the other end, Blaine shot up into a sitting position instantly
"Kurt? What's wrong?"
"I-I was d-driving home, I swerved off the road," there was a loud gasp "m-my lights won't turn back on and it's dark and cold and p-please help me." Blaine's mind was still registering the first sentence "swerved off the road"
"Holy shit, Kurt, please tell me you're okay."
"I-I am, I must have just h-hit a patch of ice, I d-didn't crash."
"Where are you?"
"About a m-mile from your house."
"I'll be right there." Blaine instantly hung up and pulled on his coat and shoes, and headed out into the storm. It was a blizzard of white and Blaine could barely see two feet in front of him. He made it out to his hummer and turned the headlights on, backing out of the driveway. He pulled over to the side of the road when he saw Kurt's car, it was completely off the road and a little ways into the trees, Blaine thought it was a miracle Kurt hadn't crashed into anything. He got out of his car and pulled his coat tighter around him, he trudged up to Kurt's navigator and tapped on the window, the figure inside jumped, before registering who it was and leaping out of the car. Blaine tugged him over and helped him into the passenger side of the hummer.
"Are you okay?" he asked when they were both in the car.
"Just sh-shaken up." Kurt admitted, wiping at his face
"Awh, come here." Blaine cooed and pulled Kurt into his arms, "you're okay, you're okay, come on, please don't cry." Kurt sniffed
"My dad called…he told me not to drive home, he said to go back to your house, the roads are too bad." Blaine frowned
"I'm so sorry, Kurt,"
"I've never missed a Christmas with my family…"
"We'll make it special, I promise."
oOo
"I'm sorry, I'm moping." Kurt said once they were in Blaine's house
"It's okay, honestly, you're allowed to be upset."
"Won't your parents be coming home?"
"Uhm…no, actually, they kind of planned to stay out all night anyway."
"You told me they were coming home." Blaine bit his lip
"I just didn't want you to feel bad for me or anything."
"You were going to be alone on Christmas!" Kurt said sharply "I would have taken you to my house! Blaine, please, nobody deserves to be all alone on Christmas." Blaine smiled softly
"Well…you're here now, so let's make the most of it, okay?" Kurt nodded "What do you usually do on Christmas eve?" Kurt shrugged
"Bake cookies?" Blaine's face lit up
"We have cookie dough! Is chocolate chip okay?" Kurt smiled
"Well…I usually make it from scratch…" Blaine's eyes widened
"Seriously?" he was thoughtful for a moment "I bet they're amazing…do you want me to get the stuff out?" Kurt smiled
"Sure."
"Kurt?"
"Yes?"
"What do we need?" Kurt rolled his eyes at his clueless boyfriend and began digging through his cupboards. When he finally got everything out, he went through, taking inventory.
"Okay…1 cup butter…Blaine, put that in the microwave for about 10 seconds to soften it, uhm, 1 cup white sugar, 1 cup brown sugar, 2 eggs, 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, 3 cups flour, 1 tea spoon of baking soda, 2 teaspoons of water, half a teaspoon of salt, 2 cups of chocolate chips, and two teaspoons of cinnamon, we're good!" Blaine looked over at him
"Cinnamon?" he asked, Kurt nodded
"Yeah, it makes them so much better, you wanna crack the eggs?" Blaine nodded and grabbed a mixing bowl for the ingredients. Blaine cracked the eggs into the bowl…and spent the next two minutes digging out all of the tiny pieces of shells he let fall into it. Kurt measured everything out…while Blaine got flour in his hair.
"UGH! Blaine, don't eat that!" Kurt squealed, swatting Blaine's hand away from the bowl "oh my god, that has raw eggs in it!" Blaine shrugged and dragged his finger through the mix, and proceeding to lick it off, Kurt cringed
"Oh, don't tell me you didn't think that was hot." Kurt giggled
"Not while you've got flower just about everywhere but your feet, no." Blaine blushed Kurt laughed whole heartedly "just help me put these on a cookie sheet and go take a shower." Blaine smiled and agreed, and they began balling the cookies up. Kurt looked over to Blaine's section off the sheet and snorted
"You are not making a penis shaped cookie, Blaine." Blaine raised an eyebrow
"Did I ever tell you that was how I came out to my sister?" he told Kurt, whose eyes widened and he shook his head, Blaine laughed "well, I knew my sister wouldn't really have a problem with it…and I decided to make it funny rather than this whole emotional thing, since we always laughed and joked, so I just left her a plate full of penis shaped cookies and a card that said "I'm gay, love Blaine." Kurt began laughing and smiling so hard Blaine had to join along.
"Blaine…the dapper, private school boy made penis cookies?" Blaine picked up another wad of mix
"Hey, I wasn't always so…uptight." Kurt's smile softened
"You're not uptight, we have fun together, Blaine, real, actual…kind of weird fun." Blaine leaned over and kissed Kurt's cheek
"Glad to hear it." Once they were finished, Blaine went up to take a shower and Kurt destroyed the penis cookie. He popped the cookies in the oven and began to clean up.
When Blaine finally came back down, Kurt had two cups of coffee sitting on the counter. Something hit him in the back of the head and he instinctively reached around and grabbed it, his fingers catching on soft material.
"Put it on." Blaine instructed from somewhere behind him. Kurt held the sweater up, it was a dark green color with a lighter green Christmas tree printed onto it.
"Blaine…this is awful."
"My grandma knitted it, of course it's awful, but I'm wearing one, so you have to, too." He smiled sweetly at his boyfriend and gestured to his own horrendous sweater. Kurt may have been a bit distracted by Blaine's wet curls and glasses to be thinking clearly, so he stripped off his shirt and threw the sweater on.
"Ohmygod, this is so soft." He said, instantly cuddling up in the fabric
"I know right! They may look awful, but they're so comfortable…is that for me?" he asked, motioning to the coffee, Kurt nodded
"Yeah," he picked up his own as Blaine came up behind him and hugged him around the waist, resting his chin on Kurt's shoulder.
"Would it scare you away if I told you that I can picture us, married and in a house of our own, doing exactly this on Christmas Eve?" Kurt swallowed
"no…not at all." Blaine spun him around
"Baby, what's wrong?" he asked, looking up into Kurt's misty eyes, Kurt smiled
"Nothing, honest, it's just…last year…I couldn't even picture myself getting married." He shrugged "I never thought I'd find someone, and now…I can't picture myself without you." Blaine smiled widely and kissed his nose
"that's nothing to cry about, silly." Suddenly, the timer went off and Kurt set his mug down and grabbed potholders. He opened the oven and pulled the cookies out, setting them on the countertop.
"just wait a couple minutes for them to cool."
oOo
Five minutes later, they were curled up on the couch watching Christmas movies. Kurt was sitting in between Blaine's legs, his back resting against his boyfriend's chest, plate of cookies on the coffee table next to them.
Their tongues lazily explored the other's mouth, and hands memorized every inch of the person they never wanted to forget. Kurt leaned back slightly and kissed Blaine's cheek
"I'm kind of glad I couldn't drive home." Kurt admitted, "thank you for making tonight special, Blaine."
"I'd do anything for you, you know that."
"And Blaine?"
"Yes?"
"Christmas dinner at my house tomorrow, you're absolutely invited." Blaine smiled and kissed the top of Kurt's head
"I will absolutely attend."
