Chapter 16:
January 10th 2019:
Kurt paced back in forth, his phone in hand. After nine long days he was finally going to be flying to LA and spending three days with Blaine. It took three rings before Santana finally answered, "Yell-o!"
"Santana! Thank god, I'm freaking out!" Kurt resumed his pacing in front of his closet. His empty suitcase lay open on his bed with piles of clothes surrounding it.
There was pause on the other end of the line, "Um, why are you freaking out?"
"Because I don't know what to pack!" Kurt groaned and threw himself down onto his bed. He reached over and grabbed the pillow that Blaine had used. There were still traces of the other man's smell, even after Kurt had spent the past nine days snuggling with it as he fell asleep.
Santana paused again, "Kurt, are you hugging that damn pillow again?"
Santana had spent the night at Kurt's after they went out to a bar one night and she kept complaining because Kurt refused to let go of the pillow and cuddle with her. She may have been a little jealous.
"No" the answer was muffled because Kurt's face was in fact buried in the pillow.
Kurt heard Santana sigh, "Alright Sweet-cheeks, since I've been packed for the past week, and I'm sitting here doing absa-freaking-nothing, I'll come help you. But after you are packed, we are going to the airport and getting on a place to LA. So you can get your mack on with the Shrimpy-Pilot and I can get my tan on in the lovely sunshine of Cali."
A small yawn left Kurt's lips as he rolled over so his head wasn't hidden in the pillow, "Thanks Santana, see you soon."
"God can these people move any slower?" Kurt grumbled under his breath watching the passengers move slowly off the airplane. He swore this one lady had purposefully dropped her suitcase three times just to piss him off.
Santana snapped her head up to look at him, rolling her eyes at his put-off appearance, "Easy there tiger" She said patting his shoulder, "Soon enough we will be off this plane and you can go ravish your super sexy but rather short boyfriend."
Kurt sent a glare at Santana before crossing his arms and silently begging the passengers to move even a little faster. All he wanted to do was get off this plane and into Blaine's arms. It seemed like all everyone else wanted to do was keep that from happening.
Finally, ten minutes later everyone cleared the plane allowing Kurt and Santana, as well as the other two flight attendants, Kurt didn't bother to get their names, to clean the plane. Once that was finished, they finally exited and made their way towards the greeting area where Blaine and Jeff were waiting.
"Blaine if you keep pacing you're going to wear a hole in the floor and then fall threw and die in a pool of molten lava and Kurt will never get to see you again."
Blaine momentarily stopped his pacing and turned to look at Jeff, facing away from the area where the passengers exited the terminal. "Jeff, you are insane."
The blonde rolled his eyes and stepped forward, placing his hands on Blaine's shoulders, "You are the crazy one. Crazy in love with an adorable but still rather striking flight attendant named Kurtie-pie!" Jeff gave Blaine a shake before moving back with a small smile on his face and eyes shining with something that Blaine couldn't place.
He was about to question Jeff when a pair of pale arms wound around his waist, "Hey you."
Blaine quickly spun around, "Kurt" he breathed out staring into those blue eyes he loved so much before leaning forward and kissing Kurt as hard as he could, grasping the back of Kurt's neck holding him as close as possible.
Their lips moved together and the hole in Blaine's chest disappeared. He finally felt complete again, and it didn't matter that they were in the middle of an airport and everyone was probably watching, all that mattered was that he was finally with Kurt again.
"Alright you two, Blondie and I are going to leave now. So you can keep sucking face in the middle of the airport or separate for a few seconds and come with us." Blaine heard Santana's voice, and he gave Kurt one final kiss, whispering 'I love you' before he took Kurt's hand firmly in his own they followed their two friends out of the airport.
"Home sweet home!" Blaine opened the door to his apartment and let Kurt walk in before he followed.
After placing his Louis Vuitton suitcase by the edge of the couch, Kurt looked around the apartment. It was nearly the same size as his apartment but the color scheme was warmer, there was a lot of deep brown and greens. A grand piano in the corner of the living room caught his eye and he made a mental note to ask Blaine to play for him later.
"So…what's the plan for tonight?" Kurt asked, slowly walking around the apartment while Blaine stood there, eyes following his every movement.
"Well, it's 5:15 right now. Eric starts playing at 7, so if you want you could go shower and change then we can walk to the restaurant. It's about ten blocks down the street." Blaine slowly walked towards the Kurt so by the time he finished he was standing right in front of Kurt.
With a well-practiced sigh, Kurt removed the distance between them wrapping his arms around Blaine's neck, "God I missed you, and that all sounds wonderful, but there's one problem."
Blaine raised an eyebrow in confusion, shivering when Kurt whispered into his ear, "I think you need a shower too."
Just like that, Kurt was gone; picking up his suitcase and walking in the direction of Blaine's room. He paused to catch Blaine's gaze before giving him a saucy wink and disappearing into the room.
Once Blaine had recovered from the shock of realizing that this beautiful and sexy man was actually his, he all but ran after Kurt and into his room.
"You know what this reminds me of," Kurt asked as he and Blaine walked hand in hand down the street towards the restaurant which was only a few blocks away.
Blaine took a moment to think, looking around to see if anything could trigger a memory. He caught sight of a lamp post that illuminated a small circle of light on the pavement. "Chicago. More specifically," Blaine tugged on Kurt's hand and lead him over towards the lamp post so they were standing under it, "this."
Blaine reached up and brushed his fingertips under Kurt's eyes, waiting until Kurt's eyelid fluttered open and they locked gazes. Blaine's eyes flickered to Kurt's lips and he leaned in, softly pressing their lips together.
Kurt kissed back and then pulled away, "I can't believe you just recreated our first kiss."
Blaine shrugged, "This reminded me of our first date and though we kissed at the end, I figured we should begin this one with a kiss in the same fashion."
Kurt laughed and took Blaine's hand and they resumed walking towards the restaurant, "I'm pretty sure we did more than kiss before this date."
Blaine cracked a smile, "And will we be doing more than just kissing afterwards?"
Kurt tilted his head, scrunching his eyes as though he was thinking really hard about it, "Maybe" he drawled.
"God you are such a tease!" Blaine said playfully nudging Kurt with his shoulder.
"Me?" Kurt gasped, "You mister have been a tease since the beginning of this" he motioned between them.
Blaine's eyebrows rose on his face, "How was I a tease?"
Kurt leaned in really close to Blaine's ear as they turned the corner, "No one is allowed to look so hot and downright sexy in a pilot's uniform as you did the first time we meet."
Blaine quickly turned his head, "I knew you liked the pilot's uniform!"
Kurt shrugged, "I never denied it."
"I guess you didn't...but now I have a very valuable piece of information." Blaine countered.
They had just stopped in front of the restaurant and Kurt held the door open and they walked inside.
"Wow, Eric is really talented." Kurt commented, turning to look from the stage at Blaine. They had just finished eating dinner and Jeff's older brother had finished performing.
"Yeah he is. Come on I'll introduce you to him." Blaine took Kurt's hand and lead him towards the front where a small stage was set up.
Eric had just finished putting his guitar away when he caught sight of Blaine, "Hey man!"
Blaine gave a small wave, "Hey Eric, that was a great set!"
"Oh, well thank you. You've always been my number one fan, ever since you were in high school and Jeff brought you home." Eric patted Blaine's shoulder and Kurt couldn't help but notice how close the two men were. They didn't have the same relationship as Blaine and Jeff but it was clear that Blaine really looked up to Eric.
"Who is this?" Eric motioned towards Kurt who was standing by Blaine's shoulder.
Blaine looked towards Kurt then back to Eric, "This is my boyfriend Kurt, Kurt this is Eric, Jeff's slightly older brother."
"Nice to meet you." Kurt held his hand out, "What is slightly is exactly?"
"Two years. But Jeff is definitely more mature than I am, married man and all." Eric laughed, Blaine and Kurt joining in. "So Kurt, I heard from Blainers here that you are trained in musical theater, ever thought of trying to get back in the business?"
"Um, yeah. I have...a lot actually. I went to NYADA but couldn't get a job afterwards so I became a flight attendant. I don't regret it at all," Kurt gave Blaine a small smile, "But I'd love to start performing again."
Eric was about to reply when a women walked up to him. She spoke quietly to him before leaving.
"Hey guys, I don't mean to be rude but I've got to clean up here and talk to the owner. I'd love to talk to you more Kurt, maybe we can figure out a way for you to get back on that stage. Are you guys going to Nick and Jeff's for dinner tomorrow night?"
Kurt looked to Blaine who answered, "We sure are, we'll see you then. Seriously though great job tonight man."
"Thanks Blaine. It was nice to meet you Kurt." Eric gave Blaine a hug and patted Kurt's shoulder.
Blaine took Kurt's hand and lead him out of the restaurant and back to his apartment, planning on ending this date in the same way that it had started.
Next chapter Santana meet someone who may just be the man of her dreams.
