I don't own the characters from Glee
As expected, the entire museum grounds were empty, except for the lady in the standing near the gates.
"Good evening, Monsieur Anderson, Mademoiselle Berry," she said, giving them both a smile and a nod. "I am Amelie and welcome to the Louvre! Now as requested we will not be providing you with a guided tour throughout the museum but feel free to ask questions if they do come up. Here are some maps and little information sheets," she said, handing them both the papers, "where you will find some of the details regarding the art pieces inside the museum. May I just remind you that the place has been rented until 3am and you will hear a beeping sound which will signal that you only have 10 minutes remaining before 3am and that you will need to go back here. That would be all and enjoy the museum! Are there any questions?" Amelie said, smiling at them.
"None. Merci Amelie," Blaine said, giving the lady a smile.
The first place they went to was the Medieval Louvre. Rachel was amazed at all the relief around them, some of them even dating from the 1500's. Blaine was an amazing tour guide. He told Rachel some of the histories of the reliefs and even shared his knowledge about the Louvre itself.
"Blaine this is really amazing," Rachel told him while they were looking at the earthenware created by Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux. "I've always wanted to go here but I never expected to see the place in private!" Rachel told him, giving him a peck on the cheek. "And the best part is, I get to be here with you."
"I'm really happy you like it," Blaine told her, giving her a hug. "I was worried you'd be too tired to go here but I still tried my luck."
"The Monalisa..." Rachel said in a whisper as she rushed towards the painting. She was amazed at the beauty that was in front of her. The painting was really something to behold, and she spent quite some time looking at it.
"She is something isn't she?" Blaine whispered to her, standing behind her.
"Yes," Rachel said, not taking her eyes off of the painting.
"I think you're more beautiful though," Blaine said, putting his hand on Rachel's shoulder.
"You flatter me too much," Rachel said, holding the top of Blaine's hand. "Besides, she's world renowned."
"My opinion remains," Blaine said. "You should go check out the other masterpieces, there's a whole gallery of them!" Blaine said to her jokingly.
As they entered the Michaelangelo Gallery at the Louvre, Rachel felt as if she was taken back in time. All of the pieces from the Cupid's Kiss to the Madonna and just about everything made by the artist himself. After walking around the gallery and looking at some of the art piece for quite a while, Rachel took an interest on Cupid's Kiss. She was fascinated by the smoothness of the marble and by the perfection of the carvings of the face of Cupid and Psyche.
"Blaine look at this," she said, calling Blaine who was admiring the Monalisa at the minute. "There's something about it that just says love and care and beauty and...Blaine?" Rachel said, looking for Blaine. She expected Blaine to be beside her but he wasn't. Blaine on the other hand did not approach her instead he went to the artwork next to her. She looked at Blaine and thought that maybe he was just busy looking at the artworks, so she continued looking at the marble beauty. After quite a while, she suddenly heard Blaine, but he wasn't talking, he was singing. Singing in a very soft, almost whisper-like voice.
"The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
Stop me and steal my breath"
And Rachel looked at Blaine. He was still looking at the artwork, looking as if he did not just sing. Rachel smiled at Blaine. He was being his quirky self again, and Rachel loved that part of him. As she continued to stare at Blaine, he was starting to inch towards her, step by step, singing.
"Emeralds from mountains and thrust towards the sky
Never revealing their depth"
And Blaine was a step away from her. Rachel couldn't remove the smile on her face. This was really supposed to be a corny moment, but Rachel was really happy about it. The corniness all gone.
"Tell me, that we belong together"
Blaine sang as he reached Rachel, smiling at her as he cupped Rachel's face. Rachel couldn't help but smile back at Blaine. He looked in her eyes and looked down on her hands as he took both of them in his. As he stared back at her eyes, he slowly placed Rachel's hands on his nape and placed his at the back of her hips started to sway them both slowly.
"Dress it up with the trappings of love"
Rachel couldn't help but let out a laugh. This was really new to her. She has never heard Blaine sing and now, well, he was exceptional. His voice was so charming and just hypnotizing, and Rachel could not believe how Blaine could be more talented and romantic. He was really perfect, and Rachel felt so lucky to be with him in such a marvellous place.
"I'll be captivated"
Blaine sang as he placed his nose on Rachel's in an Eskimo kiss. He looked deeply into her eyes and Rachel could not help but blush. Blaine let out a smile when he saw Rachel's cheeks flush, and slowly inched his lips towards hers.
"I'll hang from your lips"
He sang near her lips before pushing against them into a kiss. Rachel couldn't help but smile. She really felt happy, and Blaine was the reason for it all. As they parted, Blaine kept swaying them both as he hummed the song, and Rachel could feel every heave of Blaine's chest. She could smell everything Blaine, and it was not too much, nor too little. It was just right and just what she needed.
"The greatest fan of your life..."
Upon nearing the ending of the song, Blaine twirled Rachel and sang the last line of the song, and enveloped her into a hug.
"That was amazing..." Rachel said, burying her face into Blaine's chest.
"I was hoping you would like it. I'm really glad you did," Blaine said to her, kissing the top of her head.
"How could I not? It was perfect," Rachel murmured.
They were still enveloped in an embrace when the beeps sounded, signalling that it was time for them to go.
"Buzz kill..." Blaine whispered, still not letting go of Rachel.
"Too much sweetness I guess," Rachel said, kissing Blaine lightly.
As they neared the gates of the museum, they saw Amelie, now dressed in a thick coat and a hat.
"Thank you for visiting the Louvre. I hope you had fun!" she said, smiling at them and shaking their hands.
"We did! We did! Merci Mademoiselle!" Blaine said to her, smiling back.
"Please do come back someday ok? We would love to see you two again," Amelie said to them as they neared the gates.
"We will, we would love to go back," Rachel said.
"Take care you two!"
And with that, they started walking back towards the hotel, happy with how their whole day went.
