Oh god don't even get me started on how long it's been – I'm sorry. I started university last week, which I'm loving so far! Although I get the feeling that in four weeks time when I have a stack of assignments due, I'm not gonna be loving it so much.
Anyway, this is officially the second last chapter to this story :( I'll get all sappy and emotional next chapter but I'm just gonna say now thanks so much if you've stuck with this story even though my updating has been all over the place.
So please, enjoy! :)
Oh and this pretty much takes off right where the last chapter left off...
…
He was on his feet and moving before he'd even consciously thought the decision through, his outstretched arms wrapping around Blaine who met him halfway, bringing their lips together in what was a very long overdue reunion. He could feel Blaine's tears on his cheeks and Blaine's fingernails digging into the skin on the back of his shoulders and the heavy pulsing in his ears; all of which reassured him that this was in fact real.
Actually, it felt like coming home.
…
"God, I missed you," Blaine whispered, his breath hot in Kurt's ear.
They were standing over near the bed now, close enough that Kurt could feel his comforter brush the back of his knees but no so close that a small nudge would send both of them into a tumbling heap on the bed. Their arms were tangled around each other; gripping upper arms, threading through soft curls, brushing against cheeks.
"Me too," Kurt whispered back, his voice unusually husky. "I honestly didn't think I'd ever see you again. I thought my life would end up like one of those sad movies where the main character gets to spend one amazing summer with the love of their life and then that's it and they have to spend the rest of their life comparing everyone to him but no one even comes close."
"I did too, the last two months I haven't been able to think about anything else. I just kept thinking about ways that I could've stayed or found out where you were or found a way to contact you somehow. I mean, I left you a note at the tree, our tree, but there were storms that afternoon and the rain probably dissolved it-"
"You left me a note?" Kurt asked, his voice quiet and his bottom lip quivering a little.
Sighing and pulling back a little so that he could look directly into Kurt's eyes, Blaine said, "yeah, I did. I left you my number and I wrote – I wrote I love you..."
No matter how hard he could've tried, Kurt would not have been able to keep the tears at bay then. "Really?"
"Yeah, really. I love you, Kurt."
"I do too. Love you, I mean. I love you."
The next thing Kurt knew he was falling backwards onto his bed as Blaine's eager lips attacked his, hands threading into his hair, fisting his own in Blaine's thin cotton shirt, pulling him even closer until almost every inch of their bodies were touching. Time was going so fast but at the same time so slow; their kisses frantic and their minds reeling. Hours could have passed and neither of them would have even noticed, the one single thought one their minds being only that they were together, they had found each other, this was really happening.
"Blaine," Kurt said, intending to gain his attention but instead his voice came out as more of a groan, which prompted Blaine kiss him even more feverishly.
"I love you. I love you. I love you." Blaine whispered like a mantra between kisses; a kiss to Kurt's jaw, to his shoulder, to his Adam's apple, to his lips. "I am never losing you again. Not in a million years."
"You better not," Kurt chuckled, holding Blaine's face in his hands and giving his a hard kiss on the lips before giving his chest a light shove.
"Kurt?" Blaine said, lifting off of Kurt almost instantly. "Did you – did you want to stop?" His worry was evident in his eyes; had he gone too far, did Kurt does feel as strongly for him, was this a mistake...
"No, not at all," Kurt smiled, sitting up and running a hand through Blaine's hair, their legs still tangled together between them. "What's your name? Your full name, I mean."
Brows furrowed, Blaine replied, "Blaine Anderson. Well, Blaine Devon Anderson if you want to be picky. Why?"
"I had no way to contact you. I didn't know your last name so all I knew was that your name was Blaine, you lived in Ohio and you were in your school's show choir. That's not much to go on when you're trying to track someone down... Which is why you are going to put your phone number in my phone right now to stop that from happening again," Kurt said, reaching across to his night stand where his phone was sitting.
After Blaine had put his name and number in – complete with a cute little heart after Anderson, Blaine said, "I tried to look for you, you know. My brother Cooper told me not to bother, that if you'd stood me up why would you want to see me again. I didn't want to listen to him, so I tried anyway. Which is actually how I ended up here tonight..."
"Wait, you were looking for me tonight?" Kurt asked in awe, feeling the prickle of tears behind his eyes.
"Yeah," Blaine said a little bashfully. "I – well – at first I just searched Kurt's in Ohio but let me tell you, there are a lot of them. But then I remembered you telling me about your show choir so I searched for school show choir's in Ohio, which narrowed it down quite a lot. After that I guess it was kind of just a process of elimination, I guess. Some I straight away knew weren't yours; all girl choirs, choirs for the deaf, choirs for kids with disabilities. And then on Tuesday I found a picture of the internet of McKinley High's show choir, the New Directions, and it was you – you were there! I was going to come on yesterday but Wes called an emergency Warblers rehearsal, so then today I drove down here and waited outside of your school hoping to see you. By the time I decided I should head home it was getting late so I stopped off at a diner to get something to eat, and when I finished it was raining and I got lost and then my car broke down and I honestly thought it was one of the worst days of my life. But," Blaine reached out to grasp Kurt's hand and press a soft his to his palm, "then I stumbled upon a garage called Hummel Tires & Lube. It was shut, but there was the number on the roller door and then voila! Here I am..."
"You really did all that? Just to find me, even though you thought I didn't want anything to do with you?"
Nodding, Blaine smiled, "Yeah, of course I did."
"I am so madly in love with you, Blaine Anderson."
…
There you go!
