[A/N] Writer's blocks are crazy, I can't imagine how J.K. Rowling survived writing 7 books oh my god

I own none of the characters of Glee


"Where are we going?" Rachel asked Blaine as he led her out of the hotel.

It was still early in the evening so they decided to walk around the area. Winter has already settled in and snow was everywhere. People around them were carrying heavy packages, obviously gifts, and were chatting happily. Christmas was really near.

"Well, you've been under stress for quite some time so I thought you might want to have fun for now, while we're here in Paris," Blaine told her, embracing her as they walked.

After walking for a while, Rachel heard Christmas music and laughter from children and adults. As they neared the source of the laughs, she saw a skating rink with kids and adults alike. All of them were laughing, some slipping on the ice, some gliding majestically. Rachel looked at Blaine worriedly as he pulled her near the stands of skating shoes.

"Uhm Blaine?" Rachel said, pulling him to a stop. "I know you want me to be stress-free and all that but I don't think this is a good idea..." Rachel told him, looking down at her own two feet.

"What's wrong love?" Blaine looked at her worriedly.

"Well, it's just that..." Rachel looked at Blaine for a minute and whispered, "I don't know how to skate."

"OH!" Blaine said, then hugging Rachel. "Well, there's a first time for everything right? Don't worry, I'll hold you all the time," Blaine told her, smiling. "But if you don't want to do this, then I'm sure we can find something else to do," Blaine said, looking a little concerned.


Rachel looked at the skating rink, thinking hard. She saw that all the people were laughing, even those who were slipping and sliding on the ice, and looked at Blaine. She trusted him and she knew that he won't let her get hurt. He proved that ages ago! And besides, she was in Paris, and he was right, there's always a first time for everything. Slowly, she pulled Blaine's hand towards the skating shoes stand, and Blaine smiled.

As they started approaching the skating rink after putting on their shoes, Rachel started feeling a little nervous. Sensing this, Blaine placed his arm around her.

"Don't worry, I won't let you get hurt," he whispered as they reached the ice.

"That would really be helpful since I reeeeally can't afford to do the musical tomorrow on crutches," Rachel joked, patting Blaine's chest.


As soon as they entered the skating rink, Rachel found it immediately difficult to stand up. The ice was really slippery, and gravity's utter love for her did nothing to help her.

"B-Blaine!" Rachel said, still keeping a tight hold on Blaine. She was slipping all over the place and gravity was clearly not on her side. Blaine held her tightly in return and could not fight back his laughs. Rachel was making funny faces while trying to keep her balance, and it was incredibly funny.

"Rachel just try to stand still!" Blaine said in the middle of his laughs.

"Oh you laugh at my misfortunes Mr. Anderson!" Rachel yelled at him, clearly annoyed.

"Love I'm so sorry, it's just that the faces you are making are really funny," Blaine said, stilling them both and skating closer to her. He gave her a tight hug and whispered in her ear. "But you are still the most beautiful person I've ever laid my eyes upon."

"If you weren't so sweet, I already would have crawled my way out of this rink," Rachel whispered back, hugging him in return.

After a couple of minutes, Rachel was able to stand still and skate in little ranges. When she finally got the hang of skating towards Blaine, she happily tried longer distances between them and was successful. Blaine was happy that Rachel was finally getting the hang of things, so he just stood a little farther from Rachel and allowed her to try and skate towards him. As Rachel was moving slowly, she suddenly started losing balance and Blaine rushed into him, causing both of them to tumble in the ice rink.

"Oomf!" Blaine said as his back hit the rink. He was able to use his body as a cushion so Rachel did not hit the ice.

"Are you ok?" Blaine asked, still holding Rachel close to him. He slowly stood up and pulled Rachel to stand again. "Yes," Rachel replied, and she placed her one arm around Blaine's neck, and a hand in his cheek. She rested her nose against his and whispered, "My hero," and gave Blaine a kiss.

They both ended the kiss with a giggle and Blaine decided to call it a night. Besides, Rachel was going to need her rest for tomorrow was going to be a big day for her.


As he walked her to her room, Rachel gave him a kiss goodnight and he was left to go to his room alone. As he got inside, he went straight to the balcony and pulled out his cell phone. Dialling quickly, he waited for the person in the other line to pick up.

"Hello? Blaine?" the man in the other line said.

"Hey Dad, how are you?" Blaine said, feeling a little nervous. It had been quite some time since he spoke to his father, and during that time, it was mostly him forcing his father to allow him to go to music school.

"I'm ok. And so is your mom..." his dad said.

A long pause followed his dad's statement. Both of them felt the uneasiness in the air, but thankfully, his father was a brave man.

"We miss you son," his dad said on the other line. Immediately, Blaine felt his heart race. He secretly hoped that his dad would say those words to him, and hearing them was heart warming.

"I miss you too dad, both you and mom," he replied, feeling small.

"Son, I know that the last time you and I spoke was not the most memorable thing, but I would just like you to know that we have come to accept your decisions. We are proud of you, no matter what you become to be, because you are my son, and nothing will ever change that," his father said to him.

Blaine felt like he wanted to cry. His father saying things like this was clearly not natural to him. And all this time he thought he was going to be disowned for his decision. But now, well, now was different. It was better.

"You don't know how much that means to me dad. You have no idea," Blaine said, whimpering. He had tears running down his face. The last time they spoke, those tears meant sadness, but now they meant joy.

Both the father and son spoke for a little while. Broken connections were mended and laughs were exchanged. It appears that the Anderson business was going great, and that his mom and dad were both in a great shape. Another Anderson has also been added to the family tree since his closest cousin gave birth to a baby boy. Talking to his father made Blaine miss home, but he knew that it was better here because of one too many reasons, especially because of the fact that Rachel was here.

"Hey dad, I want to tell you that I have a girlfriend right now, and she is an amazing person, I really am happy to be with her, and quite frankly, I think, well..." Blaine said, thinking about how cheesy his statement might sound. "I think that she may be the 'one'" he said, laughing.

"Well Blaine! I have never heard you say such a thing before!" his father said to him. He could hear his dad's big manly laugh and he could tell that he was happy for him too. "So, what is her name? Is she from your school too?" his dad asked.

"Rachel. Rachel Berry. And yes, she's from my school too. She's studying theatre and she's really talented. We're actually here in Paris for her first ever performance!" Blaine said happily.

"Paris! Why I had no idea you're there! Well then, tell me, do you really think she's the person you want to be with Blaine?" his father asked, sounding a bit serious by the minute.

Blaine pause for a little while, thinking of the things he would like to say about Rachel to his dad, knowing that the little things can make a difference about his father's view towards Rachel.

"Well dad, how do I even begin? Rachel, well, she brightens my day, she lights up even the darkest of days. She has this amazing voice and when she sings, well, she can take my breath away. Her smile is just addictive. She's sweet and charming, and very talented. Not only that but she is also smart. She also knows her limits, and knows her priorities. She sticks to what she says and is just a great person," Blaine said, taking a pause. He had never told Rachel all the things he just said to his dad and now, he felt as if he had just poured his heart out. "Dad, Rachel, she...she makes me feel like I'm worthy of being loved. I just feel that when she's around," Blaine said, feeling the tears starting to well in his eyes.

"You were always worthy of love son," Blaine's dad said to him. "And I can feel that this girl is really special to you. I would love to meet her someday."

"REALLY? Oh wow that would be great! Yeah I'd love to bring her home to introduce to you and mom!" Blaine said enthusiastically. He was happy that his father wanted to meet Rachel . It was one of his dreams to introduce her to them.

After a couple of hours, it was already starting to get late and Blaine knew that he had to call it a night. Before he hung up, Blaine did not forget about one of the reasons why he called his father.

"Hey dad, uhm, can I ask you a huge favour?" Blaine asked, starting to feel a little nervous again.

"As long as it is within my abilities, then anything son," his father said.


Rachel felt the morning beam against her face as she turned in her bed. She had so much fun last night, even if all the skating and slipping left her tired. As she rested her head on one side of the pillow, she felt someone run their hands through her hair, so she slowly opened her eyes to see who the person was.

As she opened her eyes, she saw a pile of fluffy brown hair and a pair of hazel eyes. Realizing who the person was, she suddenly sat up and almost hit Blaine in the head with her own.

"Blaine! How did you get in here?" Rachel asked, startled by Blaine's presence in her room.

"You're roommate allowed me in. She said you were still asleep so she allowed me to go in and watch you until you woke up," Blaine explained, leaning against Rachel's headboard.

"Buongiorno Rachel," Rachel's roommate Nadia said to her teasingly. She knew that Blaine would want to see Rachel asleep, so she allowed him. "Did you have a good night's sleep?" she said, winking at Rachel. Rachel laughed at Nadia, for she knew how weird the girl could get.

"Grazie Nadia for surprising me this morning. I am sure I will remember to return the favour one day," Rachel said to her, emphasizing the last sentence.

"Good morning sleepy head," Blaine said to her as she turned back to him.

"Good morning fluff monster," said Rachel, giving him a kiss on the cheek.

"Fluff monster? Well that's new..." Blaine said, laughing at the new term of endearment.

"Fluff for fluffy, like your curls," Rachel said, taking Blaine's curls into her hands and giving them a few strokes, "Which I love by the way". She always loved Blaine's unkept hair, because it was gel-free and she could easily run her fingers through them.

"So...coffee?" Blaine asked.

"I would love that," and with that, Rachel stood up and took a shower before they headed down to the cafe near the hotel. They still had time to relax before rehearsals begin at the theatre they were going to perform in, so the couple decided that they should just sit around in the cafe and talk about random things.


By 11pm all of the cast members and crew were called upon by Signore Gustav for lunch. Everyone was having a great time, talking to each other and telling each other how nervous they were. By one o'clock everyone started packing their things and they all went to the theatre at the same time. Rachel and Blaine had a chair to themselves and they both held hands as their bus made it's way to the theatre.

"Nervous?" Blaine asked, playing with Rachel's hand.

"A little. This is a first for me remember?" Rachel said, smiling.

"You'll do great, I know it," Blaine said, smiling back at Rachel.

"Thank you. I'm really glad you're here with me today Blaine."

"I wouldn't miss it for the world," and with that, Blaine gave Rachel a kiss.

Upon arriving at the theatre, almost everyone was in a small state of panic. They had time to do two rehearsals before they would be fixing their wardrobe and make-up. Rachel was busy practicing all of her songs and lines and Blaine was busy practicing his own notes. Every now and then, they would both catch the other looking and would give each other a smile.


After the first rehearsal, the whole cast and orchestra were given a 30-minute break and Rachel decided to drink warm milk to help her vocal chords. As she was mixing the hot drink, she heard someone calling her name in a whisper. As she turned to her back, she was surprised to see Blaine hiding behind one of the curtains, grinning at her.

"Blaine! What are you doing here?" Rachel said, rushing to Blaine. She did not really expect to see Blaine backstage since the orchestra had their own snack area.

"Want to see something amazing?" Blaine asked her, the grin in his face not fading.

"Why?" Rachel asked him, not feeling the possibility of finding something amazing backstage.

"Well...because it's amazing!" Blaine said, holding Rachel's hand. "So? Do you wanna see it?" Blaine asked her again.

"What do you mean exactly by 'it'?" Rachel asked, giving him a look.

"Follow me!"

And with that, Blaine started pulling Rachel further into the backstage, passing all the workers who were busy with their own jobs. They reached a door which had something French written on it and Blaine opened it, pulling Rachel in.

"Blaine! Are we even allowed here?" Rachel said, trying to keep up with Blaine's running.

"I'm pretty sure the sign on the door says "Staff Only" but if they catch us, well, we can pretend we don't know how to read French!" Blaine said, laughing at his own ill humour.

After about a minute of continuous half-running half-walking, they reached a metal ladder and started climbing it until they reached a trapdoor. Upon reaching the door, Blaine pushed it up and helped Rachel enter. They have reached what appears to be the roof top, and Rachel was surprised at what she saw.

"Blaine..." Rachel said, taken aback by the scenery.

She was welcomed by the sight to the whole city of Paris. From the rooftop, she could see the Eiffel Tower and Paris in all of it's glory. Snow was falling lightly everywhere, and the place looked like it was from the old times. It was romantic, and Rachel felt really loved.

"Oh my god this is beautiful..." Rachel said as she approached the edge of the building slowly. "How did you find this place?"

"I was looking for a place to practice my notes," Blaine said, hugging her from the back. "I couldn't really hear myself when I'm sitting around violins and cellos, so I decided to look for a secluded area and I found this," he said, giving Rachel a kiss on the head. "Do you like it?"

"Like it?" Rachel said, turning around to place her hands around Blaine's neck. "I love it!" Rachel said, kissing Blaine.

"I love you," Blaine said, kissing Rachel in return.

The couple both stayed there for a little while. Chatting and talking about their life. They almost forgot what they were in the theatre for, so they had to rush down to the stage to resume the rehearsals. Thankfully, Signore Gustav did not get mad at them.


All throughout the rehearsals, Rachel would look at Blaine playing the guitar. Smiling at his little quirks like the way his eye squints whenever there would be a difficult part in his score sheet, or how he would sing along while playing the guitar whenever he knew what the actors were singing. It was what made Blaine even more unique, and Rachel fell more in love with him.

By 6 o'clock, everyone was having their hair and make-up done. Rachel was starting to feel her nerves and was really getting nervous. She knew that important people were going to watch her, so she could not afford to make any mistakes. By 7 the theatre was getting filled with people and their voices could be heard backstage. 5 minutes before the start of the musical, Signore Gustav ushered them all together for a final good luck message. As the lights in the theatre dimmed, the orchestra started playing and the show began.


"BRAVO! BRAVO!" the crowed clapped and cheered as the actors and actresses took a final bow in the stage. All of them smiling and clapping together. They had just finished the musical and it was a complete success. None of them forgot their lines. None of them forgot the lyrics. It was perfect.

After their performance, everyone was invited to dinner to meet the people who watched the show. Some of them were famous in the theatre scene and Rachel felt honored to be able to meet them.

"Monsieur Jacques I would like you to meet my Anastasia, Mademoiselle Rachel Berry," Signore Gustav said, smiling as he watched Rachel approach Jacques.

"Good evening," Rachel said, smiling as Mr. Jacques shook her hand.

"Good evening my dear. You were quite good back there! Bravo!" said Mr. Jacques, clapping at Rachel.

"Thank you Monsieur I really appreciate it!" Rachel said to him.

"And I have been told that you are a freshman? Well, you are quite talented! And I would very much love to work with you someday!" said Mr. Jacques, laughing.

"What do you say Mademoiselle? In 3 years time you will be graduating from theatre school. After you have done so, come to Paris and I will make sure that you will be famous from Europe to the United States," said Mr. Jacques, smiling at Rachel, looking hopeful.

"I would love that!" Rachel said, looking amazed at Mr. Jacques. She had just had her first job opportunity, and she felt that if she continued her path, she would definitely be able to make it.

Rachel and Mr. Jacques chatted a little, sharing different storied of their love for theatre. After a little while, Rachel found herself sitting in the balcony, in complete bliss about how the night just went for her. While looking over at the fountain in the grounds, Rachel felt a small tap in her shoulders. As she turned around, she saw Blaine holding a bouquet of red roses.


"For the beautiful lady in teal," Blaine said, holding out the roses to Rachel. "You were wonderful tonight," he said.

"I was wondering where you had gone to," Rachel said, smiling at Blaine. "Thank you," and she took the flowers and smelled them.

"So I was wondering..." Blaine said, moving closer to Rachel. "Are you tired already? Because I thought I'd take you somewhere quiet tonight," Blaine said, cupping Rachel's face and kissing her.

"Not really. Where do you plan to take me?" Rachel said, resting her head on Blaine's shoulder.

"The Louvre," Blaine said to her.

"I would definitely love that," Rachel said, nodding.


"Blaine it's 10 o'clock! The museum is already closed!" Rachel said, the smile on her face fading. "Maybe we could go here tomorrow instead."

"I'm sure they'll let us in," Blaine said, still holding Rachel's hand as they walked towards the Louvre.

As they arrived the entrance, the guard looked at them with questioning eyes. Blaine was the one to speak, and Rachel thought that they were just going to be shooed away.

"Blaine Anderson," Blaine said to the guard, smiling.

"Ah Monsieur Anderson. I was beginning to think that you would not arrive," the guard said, the smug look on his face now replaced by a smile. "Welcome to the Louvre and enjoy your stay."

"What just happened?" Rachel asked Blaine as they continued walking towards the building.

"Remember that time that I told you I lived in Paris?" Blaine asked, looking at her.

Rachel gave him a nod and looked at Blaine intently. "Well, my dad did a lot of business here and he's well known, and I kinda asked him to pull some strings for me," Blaine said to her, smiling.

"Kinda?" Rachel said, giggling. "He must have really been well known then."

"He had his connections," Blaine said as they entered the museum.
