[A/N] Hello there [: Thank you for all the favourites [: Highly appreciated

I own not the characters :D

Blaine blinked his eyes a few times, the sun blinded him.

He smiled when he remembered the events that happened that night. It was unbelievable. He couldn't believe that he, Blaine Anderson, was in a relationship with Rachel Berry. And it made him smile a lot more. The feeling of being able to tell the person you love how much they mean to you and being loved in return by that special person was a complete bliss.

When he looked at the chair at his bedside, he found that Rachel was sleeping soundly, a smile visible on her face. She promised that she would be there when he woke up, and there she was. It was great.

"Rachel..." Blaine said, his voice raspy from the sleep. He tried to reach for Rachel's arm, only to be stopped by the pain in his abdomen. Unintentionally, he let out a whimper, and Rachel stirred in her sleep. Blinking, Rachel woke up and looked at him, worry spreading all over her face upon seeing his face scrunched up.

"Blaine! I told you you shouldn't move, you'll hurt yourself my love," Rachel said, putting a hand on his shoulder, urging him to lie back down.

"My love," Blaine smiled. "I could get used to hearing that."

"You should, because you'd be hearing it a lot for a long time," Rachel told him, beaming. He could tell from Rachel's face that she was happy about this too. Not the part about him being in pain and still healing, but them being together.

"I told Aurelia about us," Rachel told him, starting to peel him an orange. "She was really ecstatic! She kept reminding me to take care of you while you healed." Rachel said, leaning in to give him a piece of the orange. "Of course, there would be no need for her to remind me about that," Rachel said with a smile.

"Thank you..." Blaine said, chewing on the orange. "For the orange; and for loving me. I can't believe this is all real Rachel, it makes my head hurt. One moment I wished you were mine, and then now, you are! It's like magic!" Blaine said.

The whole day was spent with them talking about the silliness of their situation before. Blaine told Rachel all of his thoughts when he was not with her, and Rachel told him her cries when she didn't see him more often last year. As the day was coming to a close, the doctor informed the couple that Blaine could be discharged the following morning and the medicines that he would be taking during the course of his healing. They were both really happy from the news because it meant that they would be able to spend more time with each other, this time without the breaks Blaine would have to take whenever he was given meds.

The next day, Blaine got discharged from the hospital and was healing quite well. His stab wound was still sore but the pain was now bearable, so he was instructed to only take pain meds if they were really needed. As the taxi stopped in Blaine's apartment, Rachel helped Blaine get out and get up in the stairs. As she opened the door to his room, he was surprised to see how comfortable the place looked.

"Your place looks warm," she told Blaine as she guided him to the sofa.

"Thank you," Blaine told her. "Come here," Blaine said, motioning to the space beside him.

As Rachel sat next to Blaine, she was enveloped by his warm arms.

"Blaine..." Rachel said, nuzzling into Blaine's arms.

"Hmm?" Blaine mumbled.

"Your scent...it's intoxicating," Rachel mumbled back.

"I should let you go then, before you get intoxicated from my scent," Blaine whispered teasingly, playing with Rachel's hair.

"No," Rachel said, nuzzling even further. "This is perfect," Rachel faced Blaine.

"Your neck," and Rachel kissed Blaine's neck.

"Your jawline," and she did the same with his jawline.

"Your ears..."

"Forehead..."

"Nose..."

"Lips..." and with that, Rachel closed their distance. Blaine and Rachel kissed at that moment. It wasn't a rough kiss. It wasn't gentle either. It was just enough. They could both feel the need every time one pulled away, only to be pulled back. And soon the kiss became rough, and touchy. Rachel placed her hand on Blaine's chest, stroking, and Blaine did the same with her back. Soon Rachel could feel Blaine's tongue pressing in her lips, asking for entrance. And Rachel parted hers, allowing Blaine in. It was a play of tongues pressing against each other; tasting one another. And they were both diving in. It was perfect, but too perfect as Blaine felt heat forming in his stomach. He had to pull back.

"Rachel, I..." Blaine said, panting, his voice husky from need. "I need to stop..."

Rachel looked at him questioningly. "Blaine are you ok? Did I hurt you?" she said, worry in her eyes.

"No, it's just that. I know you're not ready, and if we don't stop now I might not be able to control myself. God I want you so much right now Rach, but you're not ready so we have to stop," Blaine explained to her.

With a few puzzled looks, Rachel finally got what Blaine meant. "Oh..." Rachel said. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you feel that way," Rachel told him.

"No, don't be, it was perfect," Blaine told her smiling. "I'm really sorry this is so inappropriate, but I really have to take care of this, I'm pretty sure it won't be going away soon, so..." Blaine told her, blushing slightly.

Rachel stared at his boyfriend as he went to the bathroom. This was all new to her. The comfort. But even if she was feeling comfortable with Blaine, it didn't mean that she was ready, so she was really happy about how Blaine was being in control of himself, even if it meant that he had to do things like this when they're together.

After a few minutes, Blaine emerged from the bathroom looking sated. He took a seat next to Rachel, looking very awkward, unable to look her in the eye.

"I'm really sorry about that..." Blaine said, still not looking up.

Suddenly, Rachel stood up and took a seat next to him. She held his face and gave her a small peck on the lips.

"Don't be, it's normal, you're a man," she smiled and hugged him. " Plus it'll come handy someday," she whispered in his ear teasingly.

" Uhg RACHEL!" Blaine said, panicking. "Don't say that or else I might have my problem again!" Blaine told her. Rachel was laughing when she pulled away, happy at her new found skill. Blaine pouted his lips at her.

"Come on, I'll make you something to eat," Rachel said, giving a hand out for Blaine.

"You love teasing me don't you?" Blaine told her, taking her hand.

"I guess I do," Rachel said, leading him to the kitchen.

"This was gonna be an interesting relationship," Blaine thought.

[a/n] this is just a carefree chapter. I was trying to write some fluff/smut but I don't feel so confident about it yet so I'm taking baby steps. Plus I feel like I'm the one blushing when I write them so this is challenging for me and this is as far as I could go for now ((: anyway, I'll try to update soon.

Please review! [:
