Chapter 81

Kurt woke the next morning and smiled as he felt his boyfriend's warm breaths on the back of his neck and his arms wrapped around him. He laid there and savored the feeling for a few minutes before quietly working his way out of Blaine's arms and up the stairs.

Going into the bathroom, Kurt changed clothes and fixed his hair, grimacing at the sight of a large bruise on his arm before exiting. He headed to Rachel's kitchen and took quick stock of her utter lack of non-vegan breakfast options.

Peaking outside, Kurt saw a snow plow had already cleared the streets.

Deciding to chance it, he threw on his coat and headed out to grab donuts for the glee club.

Downstairs, Blaine slowly woke as he felt cold. He reached his arm out blindly to feel for Kurt and peeked an eye open when he felt the empty 'bed' around him. Sitting up, he looked around the room, taking in the sight of the sleeping people around him. Sunlight was slowly filtering into the room through the high windows of the basement. He looked down at his cell and saw that it was still pretty early for New Year's Day.

Getting up, he made his way upstairs and looked around for Kurt. Not finding him anywhere, Blaine looked out the window and saw the car was gone.

He pulled out his phone and sent Kurt a text, asking where he was. Waiting for a reply, he went into the kitchen and started making a pot of coffee.

Kurt still hadn't replied by the time it was finished brewing and Blaine started getting worried. Even though the roads were clear, it was still slick out there and Kurt not answering his phone was worrying.

Santana and Brittany wandered up first at the smell of coffee, followed by Finn and Rachel. More glee club members began the trek up the stairs, a couple guys helping Artie up. Rachel began moving around the room, directing people to different places to get cleaned up and change.

She turned to Blaine. "Thank you for making coffee Blaine. I admit I forgot to set the timer last night as I usually do what with all the people and excitement."

Blaine gave her a small smile, still looking out the window. "Yeah, no problem."

"What's the matter?" Rachel asked, taking in his worried look.

Blaine sighed. "I'm not sure where Kurt is and he isn't answering his phone. I'm sure he'll be back soon."

Rachel shot a worried look out the window. "I'm sure he's fine. Why don't you go get changed and I'm sure he'll be back by the time you are done."

Blaine agreed and headed downstairs to grab his bag and change. As he walked by his and Kurt's makeshift bed, he saw Kurt's phone lying next to the pillow. Upset, he went over and picked it up, putting it in his pocket. He headed back upstairs and was heading to the kitchen when the front door opened and Kurt stepped in with two boxes of donuts in his hand.

"Oh, you're up. Good, come give me a hand with this." Kurt said brightly, giving Blaine a peck on the cheek as he handed off one of the boxes.

Blaine took it and followed Kurt into the kitchen where he was met with high praises by many of his friends. It appeared Rachel had been about to start cooking her fake bacon for breakfast. After showing Rachel the fruit cup in one of the boxes, Rachel stopped complaining and started setting up a line so everyone could get a donut.

Grabbing a donut for himself and Blaine, Kurt turned back to Blaine and handed it to him. "Happy New Year's!"

Blaine accepted it and grabbed Kurt's hand, pulling him out of the loud kitchen and into the hallway. Wrapping him in a hug, Blaine spoke. "I was worried this morning babe."

Kurt pulled back and looked at him. "Why? What happened?" He took a bite out of his donut as he waited for Blaine to respond.

Blaine pulled out Kurt's phone. "What happened is I woke up alone with the car missing and you not answering your phone."

Kurt chewed slowly as he grabbed the phone. Swallowing, he shot Blaine a sheepish look. "I'm sorry. I totally forgot to grab it. I didn't mean to worry you."

Blaine sighed and stroked Kurt's cheek. "I know babe. I just, all I could think of was you getting in an accident and not being able to call for help."

Kurt winced and looked down even as he turned his head slightly into Blaine's hand. "Sorry."

"It's okay. Just, from now on, you better bring your phone with you everywhere. Okay?" Blaine said, tilting Kurt's chin up.

Kurt nodded. Glancing quickly over at the door to the kitchen where they could still hear the loud chatter of the glee club, he responded quietly. "Yes, sir."

Blaine gave him a smile and pulled him into a kiss, leaving him breathless as he pulled back. "It was really sweet of you to get everyone breakfast though."

Kurt smirked at that, already recovered from the gentle rebuking Blaine had done. "Well, I couldn't survive a vegan breakfast. And if I bought for me, I'd have to buy for you. And if I buy for you, Finn would want some. And if I buy for Finn, Rachel demands a share. And then it just turns into this whole big thing."

Blaine laughed at the overdramatic response, wrapping an arm around Kurt. Biting into the donut, he led them back into the kitchen where they got swept into conversations, making plans with different people for things to do in the limited time before school started.

Soon, the glee club began leaving, needing to head home and show their parents that they weren't hung-over or anything. Blaine and Kurt waved their goodbyes and got in the car.

Once buckled in, Kurt turned to Blaine. "Finn isn't going home for another couple hours and said he would text first. So we don't have to be back until then."

Blaine smiled. "My place then?" Kurt responded with an enthusiastic nod.

AN: Smut first. Then not so fun times for Kurt coming up. Please review!
