[A/N]: I just thought that of all the musicals and shows everyone could have watched people might be wondering why I chose Anastasia. Well basically I am friends with one of the people who made the drawings of the whole movie (it was done in such a short period of time, that's why the drawings weren't pristine and stuff) and I was kind of missing him and I guess it just popped into my head while I was writing/typing He's a great mentor and he's just awesome so yeah

I own none of the characters from Glee [:

Blaine woke up in his room, yawning and stretching. He had such a great night with Rachel at the museum last night that when he reached his hotel room, he immediately fell asleep. Today was Christmas Eve and he was thinking about taking Rachel into the streets to do some shopping. He knew how Rachel loved buying simple and vintage things, so he thought that she would love doing just that.

He walked up to the balcony and saw that it was actually not snowing today, which was good for his plan. It was still a little early in the morning and despite of him staying up late last night, he really did not feel tired at all. He looked at the streets of Paris and saw people carrying boxes of gifts and talking to each of their own company in the snow. He missed Paris. And it was really great to be back.

He walked back inside the room and pulled out his cell phone from his bag. Upon checking it, he saw that his dad had sent him a text, asking him when he would be coming back home. He typed a quick reply, saying that he would be home for the New Years. It was great to be in good terms with his dad again, and he felt that he should probably go home for the New Year. Besides, Rachel was going home too to spend the New Year celebration with her dads. And since they still had about a week off from school after the New Year, they decided that they should probably introduce each other to their families and friends.

After replying to his dad, Blaine decided to text Rachel, thinking that it would still be too early to knock in their room and she would probably still be asleep since they did stay up late last night.

Good morning Love [: Care to join me for breakfast? ~ B

After sending the text message, Blaine placed his phone in the bedside table, opting to lie down for a few minutes. He did not however expect to receive a reply from Rachel instantly.

Good morning too [: I would love that. I'll just get ready, see you in 30 minutes ~ R

And so, Blaine stood up and started fixing himself. After 30 minutes, he went across the hall and knocked on Rachel's door. When Rachel opened the door, she quickly gave Blaine a hug and a kiss on the cheek, and said good bye to Nadia, her roommate.

"Buongiorno," Blaine said, kissing Rachel in the head.

"Good morning. You're up early?" Rachel said, resting her head on Blaine's shoulders while they were walking.

"Yeah. I don't even get it actually," Blaine said, smiling. "I guess I was just too happy from last night that I didn't need the rest."

"Mmmm, yeah me too," Rachel said, squeezing the arm she was holding on to. "So, where are we off to today?"

"Cafe first, for breakfast. I figured you'd like to go Christmas shopping today," Blaine said, looking at her. "But if you're too tired then we could just spend the day in the hotel and tell stories or watch movies."

"Christmas shopping! Oh my god I completely forgot about that! Yes I would loooove to! Plus I haven't bought my dad's and my friends their gifts yet," Rachel said to him.

"It's settled then," Blaine said to her. "Oh and Rachel, I took the liberty of having our flights booked for the 30th. I hope you don't mind."

"No I really don't. I'll pay you when we get back," Rachel said, kissing Blaine on the cheek.

"No! No need to pay, it's ok love," Blaine said to her, smiling.

"You pamper me too much Signorino, thank you," Rachel said, thinking that it would be pointless to argue with Blaine on the payment.

After eating their breakfast, Blaine and Rachel started to go to different shops around town. Rachel was really excited about all the unique things she could buy for everyone, and Blaine was happy seeing Rachel like that.

"Oh my god a vintage looking coat! Kurt would love this!" Rachel said, holding up the white coat.

"Who's Kurt?" Blaine asked.

"He's my best friend. We were both supposed to go to New York for college but I got the scholarship so he had to go there by himself. He wanted to kill me when he found out, but in the end he was still happy for me," Rachel told him, smiling at the memory. She didn't even realize it but she really missed her friends back home, and it was great to think that in a few days she would be seeing all of them again.

"He sounds like a good person," Blaine said, walking towards Rachel and running his hands on her shoulders.

"I'll introduce you when we get back home. You are coming over, right?" Rachel asked, looking a little worried.

"Of course I will," Blaine assured Rachel.

After almost 4 hours of walking and buying, both Rachel and Blaine were able to buy gifts for all for their family and friends. They decided that it was time to go back to the hotel to get ready for the Christmas Eve dinner their school had prepared for everyone of the cast, orchestra, and staff. the people who sponsored the whole trip were also there, together with some of their families and friends.

"Wow she looks beautiful," Blaine thought to himself as walked down the main stairs of the hotel. They had both decided not go down to the party together and to just wait for the other at the foot of the stairs. Being the gentleman that Blaine was, he decided to fix himself as quickly as can be and to wait for Rachel, hoping that his attired would match hers in the best of ways.

Upon seeing Rachel, he couldn't help but feel proud that she was his. She was wearing a simple teal dress which went down just below her knee, and it has ribbons and ruffles.

"For you, tisero mio," Blaine said, holding out a a single white rose for Rachel.

Rachel smiled at him and took the rose, smelling the little flower. After stepping down the stairs, she gave Blaine a kiss.

"Grazie," Rachel whispered after giving him the kiss.

And they both walked towards the party.

The whole hall was filled with Christmas decorations, and everyone from the musical was already there. Some were talking while some were sitting, waiting for the event to start. As they walked towards one of the tables, Rachel saw Nadia talking to a French guy. Upon seeing both of them, Nadia instantly dragged the guy towards them.

"Hi you two! I would like you to meet Philippe," Nadia said, motioning to the man who was smiling at them both. "He is from Paris and his father is the guy who sponsored the trip and show here in Paris!"

"Oh my god, hi! My name is Rachel and this is my boyfriend Blaine," Rachel said, shaking Philippe's hand. "It's so nice to meet you!"

"Hello, as Mademoiselle Nadia said, my name is Philippe," he said to them, still smiling. "And it is nice to meet you too. Shall we take a seat?" Philippe asked, motioning for all of them to take a seat. Blaine pulled out a seat for Rachel and sat next to her. Everyone else was doing the same and soon enough, the program for the night started.

The dinner was filled with very talented people. Some performed songs while others opted to do little dance numbers. Everyone in the hall was having a great time and by the end of the program, everyone was served dinner. While eating, Rachel decided to know a little more about their new found friend, so she started up a conversation with Philippe.

"So Philippe, are you in the arts too like your father? He's a really talented man!" Rachel said, smiling at Philippe.

"Well, actually no. I believe I have gotten too much genes from my mother and I went for the sciences rather than the arts. I do enjoy listening to music and watching plays like my father. I admire his talent you see!" Philippe answered her.

"I see! Well, good for you since you still appreciate the arts!" Rachel told him.

They talked for a little while and Blaine and Nadia decided to join in. They talked about a lot of things. From Philippe's career, to his father's job, to their life here in Paris. The drinks were already being served and it only about an hour before Christmas and the party was starting to kick up.

"Excuse me, I'll just get us something to drink," Philippe said, excusing himself.

"Nadia looks like you've hit the jackpot!" Rachel said to Nadia, teasing her.

"I KNOW! Right! Oh my god who'd have thought! Ugh I am NEVER letting this one go," Nadia said to Rachel, laughing. "Well, at least for now," she said, winking.

"Nadia! You are unbelievable," Rachel said to her as Philippe started walking back towards their table.

They were all having a lot of fun and both Nadia and Philippe decided to dance, since Nadia said it was her "jam" and Philippe felt it appropriate to ask her.

"She is so funny," Rachel said to Blaine, watching the two laughing while dancing. They were both clearly having a good time. "You'd think she'd end up with the son of the man responsible for all of this?" Rachel said laughing.

"No love, not at all," Blaine said to her, laughing. After a few minutes, Blaine held Rachel's hand and looked at her. Rachel noticed this, so she smiled at him.

"Is there something on my face?" Rachel asked, smiling.

"Nothing. I just wanted to look at you," Blaine said, kissing Rachel lightly on the lips. "Hey, you wanna go to the balcony? I heard the scenery there is beautiful. Plus it's getting kinda noisy around here."

"Ok," Rachel said, nodding.

Blaine held her hand as they walked towards the balcony. From outside, they could still hear the music in the party, and it was actually a great feeling to be away from all the noise.

The scene from the balcony was beautiful. The place was filled with trees and a frozen pond could be seen from a distance. The whole area was filled with Christmas lights and it was peaceful. Rachel forgot to bring her shawl outside and shivered from the cold.

"Here, take my coat," Blaine said, pulling off his coat and wrapping it around Rachel.

"Thank you," Rachel said, kissing Blaine on the cheek.

They held hands as they looked at the view. After a few minutes, Blaine was the first one to break the silence.

"Merry Christmas love," Blaine said, holding Rachel's chin and kissing her lips.

"Is it already?" Rachel said with a giggle. Blaine held out his wrist and showed Rachel the time. It was exactly 12 midnight.

"Merry Christmas," she said, stroking Blaine's cheek.

"I have a gift for you," Rachel said, smiling as she fished his gift from her purse. From the purse she pulled out a small box wrapped in deep blue paper with a gold ribbon around it. She held up Blaine's hand and placed it on his palm. "I hope you like it. Merry Christmas Blaine," she said, smiling.

Blaine looked at the small box, and then smiled at Rachel. He opened the box and saw a silver guitar pick.

"I figured you'd be needing them since you're taking up guitar, and I figured you'd be needing a strong one so I got you this," Rachel said, smiling at Blaine. "It's made from a meteor, so it's really tough."

Happiness could be seen from Blaine's face. He never thought Rachel would get him something for Christmas, and this was just what he needed. "Rachel! These are expensive! Thank you!" Blaine said, hugging Rachel tight.

"I got you a little something too you know," Blaine said, smiling at Rachel. "Give me your hand," he said. "And close your eyes."

Rachel did what she was told. She felt Blaine hold her hand with both of his, but he never placed anything in her hand.

"Ok now open your eyes," whispered Blaine.

When Rachel opened her eyes, she saw Blaine's hand upon hers. He suddenly dropped something in her hand and when he removed his, she saw a small velvet box which looked like the ones containing rings. Rachel looked at Blaine, trying to see something in his face, but all he showed was a smile. Blaine nodded at her, urging her to open the box and Rachel did.

Inside the box was a rose-shaped silver ring with a diamond in the middle. Rachel looked at the ring and then to Blaine. She didn't know what it meant, but she suddenly felt nervous.

"B-Blaine, I..." Rachel said, a little confused about what was happening.

"Don't worry, it's not an engagement ring," Blaine smiled, kissing Rachel. "Not yet. It's just a promise ring, that I'll always be here for you and that I love you beyond what you can imagine, and someday, I'd love to wait for you at the altar," Blaine let out a small laugh at his own plan. "And I figured since I like giving you roses, I might as well give you one that does not wither."

And with that, Blaine took off the ring from the box and slipped it on Rachel's finger. Rachel looked at it for a while, smiling. Blaine was looking at Rachel when he noticed that there were tears welling on Rachel's eyes.

"Love what's wrong? Are you ok?" he asked, wiping the tears on the sides of Rachel's face.

"It's perfect. Everything is perfect Blaine," she said, caressing Blaine's cheek. "I never felt that I would be able to meet someone like you, and meeting you in the weirdest of ways just makes me wonder because I could have not been there when you were riding your bike. It could have been someone else but no, it was me! And if I didn't meet you, I would have been in trouble because of Alex, I could have missed meeting a lot of wonderful people in Italy, and I could have been alone here right now and it just...god..." Rachel said, finally feeling all the emotions build up that she could not handle it anymore. She allowed Blaine to hug her. She never felt so loved in her entire life, and she felt so lucky to be with Blaine. He was her perfect guy, and him being in love with her was such a huge thing.

"Sssssh, hush love," Blaine said, running her hands through her back.

"I just, I love so sooo much Blaine. And I want you to know that everything you do for me means so much to me. And I can never imagine being with any other guy as perfect as you. Thank you Blaine, for everything. For loving me, supporting me, and just, thank you for being you, because you, you make my life better each and every single day," Rachel said. Rachel kissed Blaine for the longest of time. No replies were needed from him. They held each other after that. Kissing and hugging in the coldness of winter. After a few minutes, they decided that it was time to go back inside. Just like the way they were when they went outside, Rachel and Blaine were holding each other's hands as they made their way inside. Both were smiling, and they both felt the love.

[A/N] yey I love them both! :D

Hope you guys liked that one, I did :)
