Kristen and Carole had cleaned the big house during the morning. They had made the beds for the guests that were coming in the afternoon. They were leaving Lima at noon, so they should be in Cincinnati around three, factoring in the traffic the day before a holiday. Carole decided to check in at Kurt and Blaine at noon. Kristen had prepared a salad for lunch and Carole thought she would asked the teens if they were interested in eating with them. She knocked on the door before opening it and entering the house.

"Are you guys awake?" She asked. When she didn't get an answer she climbed the stairs.

She looked at the bed when she was at the top of the stairs. She saw a crying Kurt, reading Blaine's notebook. Se sat down next to him and pulled him in to a hug. She took the notebook from him and put it on the bedside table. She felt him crying in her embrace. They sat like that for a while, neither of them speaking. Eventually Kurt pulled away tolooked at her.

"He got shot?" He said and started crying again.

"No, he managed to duck and run upstairs." Carole said and pulled him closer again.

When she felt the sobs subdue she pulled away to speak to him.

"Kurt, you shouldn't read this all alone. And not everything at once."

"I didn't think it was so bad." He said and started crying yet again.

She rearranged them so they were lying instead of sitting, it was much easier to comfort someone laying down she felt. She felt the crying increase for a while before Kurt calmed down. It was then she started wondering where Blaine was.

"Kurt? Where's Blaine?" She asked him.

He lifted the cover to show the sleeping Blaine who once again had crawled under the cover and was laying pressed to Kurt. She smiled at the sight and stretched over Kurt to stroke his hair. Kurt put the cover down again but let Blaine's head be outside.

"And the Christmas when he was all alone." Kurt said and cried with renewed force. "I mean look at him. How could anyone leave him alone during Christmas?"

"I know." Carole said. "But that's not going to happen anymore."

Kurt cried and went through the memories that had made the biggest impact on him - the times Blaine had been forced to ride in the trunk of the car and the time he was left on the beach. Carole listened to him crying over his boyfriend's childhood. She was well aware of the tears she had shred for the exactly the same things and wasn't surprised when she felt her cheeks becoming wet again.

When they had laid there for 20 minutes Carole heard the front door opened and then steps on the stairs. It didn't take Kristen many seconds to understand why they hadn't come up. She climbed up on the bed and moved Blaine so she was hugging him and Kurt at the same time.

"Kurt?" Carole said when he had stopped talking and was processing everything. "He's safe now. Thanks to you."

That made him cry again, but this time he turned in her embrace to he was facing Blaine, still sleeping and completely unaware of parts of his family laying with him in bed crying for his childhood.

"Did you read from the other side of the notebook as well?" Carole asked Kurt.

"The other side?"

"Yes." She reached behind her and took the notebook to show him. "Here, he has written the homework from this side. I think you should read that. You don't have to do it now, but I want you to it. Okay?"

He nodded and she put the notebook back. She found the note Blaine had written to Kurt during the night and tried not to think about what magic trick Kurt had done last night. But when she read the time, she understood why Blaine was still sleeping with no trace of waking up.

Kristen cleared her voice and Carole looked up to meet her eyes. She nodded towards Kurt and Carole looked at him. His eyelids were drooping and she could feel his limbs relaxing. He had still tears running. She smiled at Kristen who smiled back. It wasn't strange that Kurt became tired after an emotional outburst like that. Neither of the two waken sisters said anything, they let the teens sleep and enjoyed the closeness to them. Kurt opened his blue eyes after just twenty minutes.

"I'm hungry." he said.

"We have made salad for lunch, it's up in the big house." Kristen said.

"How about Blaine?" Kurt asked.

"I think he is going to be tired all day from taking the sleeping medicine so late, but we need to work on him having a normal rhythm during the days, even during days like this when he'll be sleeping most of the time. And he does need to eat and take medicine."

"I have to go to the bathroom." Kurt said and untangled himself from Carole and Blaine. Blaine whined a little at the lost of contact and moved closer to Kristen.

"I can wake him." Carole said.

"But he is sleeping..." Kristen said.

"I know you love to snuggle and I know he's extremely cuddly when he sleeps, but there will be more opportunity for you two to snuggle later." Carole said with a smile.

She shook Blaine and after a while he opened one eye to look at her. She could see he still was effected by the medicine.

"I'm tired." He mumbled and turned away from her snuggled even closer to Kristen.

"There are boobs here." He said confused. Carole and Kristen giggled at this.

Blaine looked up at Kristen.

"You're not Kurt."

"I know."

"I'm cuddling with you, you're not Kurt."

"But I love to cuddle."

"Really?"

"Really." Kristen smiled at him.

"Well then." He said and closed his eyes again and scooted even closer.

"But, you need to wake up now." Kristen said.

Blaine groaned but opened his eyes and looked around the room. He sighed but sat up. Kurt came into the bedroom and went up to Blaine who threw his arms around his waist and pulled him close. Kurt smiled and reached down to kiss him on the head.

"So, lunch in the big house." Carole said and got up from the bed.

"I just want to change into clothes." Blaine said, still with his cheek against Kurt's belly.

"Okay, see you guys soon." Kristen said and went with her sister downstairs and headed outside to the big house.

"Hi my love." Kurt said when they heard the front door close.

"I love you so much Kurt." Blaine said and looked up at Kurt.

Kurt smiled at him and leaned down and kissed him.

"I love you too Blaine."

Kurt thought about telling Blaine he'd read his memories, but he needed some time to process it before he spoke about it and he wanted it be a good talk, not just a talk when they put on clothes. Blaine hugged him a little thigther before he sighed again and got up.

"I'm so tired." He said when he put on the onepiece. "It's raining." He explained to Kurt. "Then it's okay to have the onepiece."

"You can have what ever you want, you'll still be the most handsome guy I've ever seen."

The lunch wasn't as pleasant and easygoing as usual; Blaine was grumpy, tired and still affected of the sleeping medicine. He wasn't hungry at all and sat and looked down at his plate. Carole tried to talk to him to get him to eat but he just shrugged. When the others were done eating was his plate still nearly full, he had eaten two bites. Carole exchanged looks with Kristen who also shrugged and put her hand on Blaine's shoulder.

"How about if I make you a milkshake and you and me sit down on the couches and do nothing for a while? So can these two started the cooking and baking?"

Blaine looked at her and nodded. He got up and went to a couch and sat down. Kurt looked at him with a pained expression. Carole saw it and dragged him to the kitchen.

"This is nothing new, Kurt. We have to remember that he isn't well at all. And right now he's tired and surely a bit dizzy. Let him and Kristen spend some time together while we start in here."

Kurt nodded, but before he got started he went to Blaine to give him a hug. Blaine was staring unseeingly in front of him and Kurt could see how tired and sleepy he was. He put a hand on his shoulder and Blaine looked up at him.

"Love you." Kurt said. Blaine smiled and leaned his head against Kurt's hand.

"Here you go, a fanstaticly well-tasting milkshake ala Kristen!" Kristen held out a chocolate milkshake which she had spiced with some protein powder. Blaine tasted and smiled.

"This is good!" He said to her and drank more.

Kurt left them and went to Carole in the kitchen. Kristen looked at Blaine.

"Would you mind cuddle with me? It's rare I got to cuddle..." She asked him.

"Sure!"

They rearranged so they both were more laying down on the couch, Kristen with her arm around Blaine's shoulder.

"Is this okay?" She asked him.

"This is perfect." He said.

"Are you okay?" She asked him. "Or, wait, you don't have to answer that."

"Why do you say that?" Blaine said and turned his head to look at her, that was a strange thing to say. He watched Kristen close her eyes and heard her sigh.

"Blaine... I'm just afraid to say the wrong things when I'm with you."

"Wrong things?"

"Yes, like if I asked you how you're doing, and then I just mean how are you. But maybe you take it like I prying and feel you don't want to talk to me at all..."

"Kristen, relax." Blaine smiled to her. "I know that Carole speaks to you, she told me, and she's asked me if it that's okay. Which it is. I know that you know a lot about me, and I'm totally fine with that. But please don't overthink what you say to me, just say what's on your mind. If I can't handle it, that's my problem and something I need to discuss with Hannah. I won't go through life with people who knows everything about me and who is carefull with what they say.

"Like on my birthday, Burt raised his voice and I had a flashback. It was a good thing that happened at home, and not in school in August, now I was surrounded by family, and people how know what they needed to do. So, even if it was hard on Burt, it was good for me. So, to answer your question, I'm tired but fine."

Kristen smiled to him and hugged him close.

"Okay, good." She said.


Neither if the residents in the house heard the two cars pulling up. Burt and Martin hade ride together in one car, and Finn, Puck, Mercedes and Rachel in one car. The drive had taken three hours, it wasn't just them who wanted to leave Lima for the holiday. After they parked the car and taken in the view and realized that no one was coming to greet them, they went in to the big house. Burt showed them the rooms downstairs where the teens would sleep before they all went upstairs. They all went past the couch where Kristen and Blaine were fast asleep, cuddled close together. They went in to the kitchen and surprised Kurt and Carole who were baking.

"Hi guys!" Burt said and hugged his wife close. Even though they were married and were adults, they still longed after each other, and just like Blaine and Kurt, they hadn't slept together during the time Blaine had been at the hospital. Burt and Carole stood still a while in their embrace before Burt took his wife's cheek and pulled her head up. They kissed, a long, sweet kiss filled with love, promises and desire.

Kurt had cleaned his hands and was hugging his friends.

"We didn't hear you, welcome!"

"Where's my brother and my aunt?" Finn asked.

"On the couch, you must went straight past them!" Carole said and hugged him.

"On the couch? Why didn't they say hi?"

"They are sleeping. Why don't you, Finn, give everybody a tour and we'll make some coffee and wake them up and we'll meet on the balcony in ten minutes, now that it stopped raining?"

"Sure!" Finn said and led them out of the kitchen. When they passed the couches, they all looked at Blaine and Kristen, and they all "aawww:d" at the sight, they were a cute vision, both of them deep asleep, Blaine snoring lightly and Kristen sleeping with her mouth open.

Kurt put on coffee and put Martin to work with setting the table. Carole dragged Burt out to the living room. They hugged for a long time before Carole pulled herself from the embrace.

"I'll wake the sis and the son." She said before pressing a kiss on Burt's lips.

She sat down on the table and looked at the couch. They were really fast asleep. She looked at the clock, they had been sleeping for over an hour now. She stroked her hand along Kristen's cheek, which made her close her mouth and move her head a little. She did the same thing with Blaine but he didn't react.

"Kristen? Blaine?" She shook them lightly and they both stirred.

Kristen opened her eyes and looked at Carole. She tried to stretch out her body and then notice the deadweight on her. She looked down at Blaine. She looked up at Carole again.

"I fell asleep? That was not the plan."

"It's okay, you both were asleep within minutes. But now we have company and coffee will be served any minute now." Carole said as they heard the teens downstairs coming inside to get settle in their bedrooms.

"Oh, they are here already?!" She said. "And I'm sleeping, that's kinda rude of me."

"It sure is!" Martin said when he came inside from setting the table on the balcony.

"Shut up!" Kristen said and smiled at him while he sat down on the other couch next to Burt.

"Welcome here." She said. "So, what to do with this one?" She said and pointed to Blaine.

"Let me!" Kurt said as he came in to the living room.

He kneeled next to the couch and combed Blaine hair with his fingers. He leaned forward and whispered in to Blaine ear.

"My love, it's time to wake up."

Blaine stirred a bit. Kurt pressed his lips against Blaine's, which woke him up. Blaine opened his mouth and kissed him. He opened his eyes to look at Kurt, but saw also his family sitting there watching them, he pulled himself from Kurt's lips and blushed.

"Don't let us stop you!" Martin said.

Kristen giggled behind Blaine. He jumped at the sound, he hadn't notice her laying next to him. He turned to her.

"Sorry I fell asleep on you."

"No problems, I've slept as well."

"The sight of you two sleeping was the cutest I've seen in a long time!" Puck said with a smile when they came up the stairs.

Blaine blushed even more but Kurt placed a kiss on his forehead and smiled to him. Blaine smiled back and sat up on the couch. He was feeling so much better now after this nap. He still felt a little dizzy, but not as annoyed he felt earlier.

They all sat down on the table. Kurt poured them coffee and Carole came out with a new baked apple pie. It was delicious and they ate, laughed and talked. It was a nice mood around the table and Blaine felt at ease. He took Kurt's hand under the table. Kurt turned and looked at him. They smiled and Kurt leaned forward and kissed him on the lips. Blaine smiled under Kurt's lips.

"I love you." He whispered.

"I love you!" Kurt whispered back before he rubbed his nose along Blaine's.

"Stop being so freaking cute!" Martin said and threw his napkin at them.

"So... It's sunny and we're close to the bridge... I would do anything for a bath!" Mercedes said.

"Yes!" Blaine exclaimed. "Let's take a bath!"

They all looked at him, it had been a long time since Blaine had shown so much interest in something.

"We'll take care of the dishes, you kids head down to the water." Kristen said.

"Thanks." They all said before going up and heading towards their rooms to change.

Kurt and Blaine went down to their house hand in hand. They got upstairs and started undressing. Blaine happened to turned around when Kurt leaned down to step in his swimming trunks. Blaine inhaled loudly at the sight of Kurt's ass in display like this.

"Fuck Kurt, you can stand like that and expect me to do nothing about it." He said with a husky voice.

Kurt turned around, still leaning down, with a smile on his lips.

"Who sad I expect you to do nothing?!" He teased.

Blaine was next to him within seconds. He crushed Kurt to the wall and kissed him desperately, passingly, urgent.

"Kurt..." He breathed. "Fuck... I need you."

"I'm here. Take me." Kurt panted.

Blaine pushed him to the bed and laid down on top of Kurt. He kissed him sloppy. He pulled the drawer opened on the bedside table and took out the bottle of lube. He pressed out some in his hand, and then took their hardnesses in his hand. He started slowly pulling his hands up and down and watched Kurt squirmed under him. Kurt pulled him down to kiss him.

"Let's try something new." He said.

Blaine stopped in his movement and looked at him. Kurt took his hands in his hand and placed them on either side of his head. Then he put his hand on Blaine's back and pressed him down, so he was laying completely on top of Kurt. Their hard cocks pressed together and they both moaned at the feeling. Kurt pulled Blaine up and down on top of him to create friction.

"Fuuuck..." Blaine moaned and started moving on his own.

It didn't take long before they both came, panting, moaning. Blaine slumped on top of Kurt. They could hear their friends getting close to their house. Blaine pulled himself up from Kurt, even though he just wanted to stay. He pulled on his swimming trunk before he held out his hand to Kurt.

"Come on my love, let's get in before they come down and start asking why we are all messy and wet on our bellies."

"Wanna sleep..." Kurt mumbled.

"I know, but come on sweetie." Blaine said.

Kurt took his hand and found himself being dragged up, Blaine pulled up his trunks, still pooling around his feet. Blaine led him downstairs and out on the bridge. Blaine jumped in, pulling Kurt with him. When he crashed into the cold water, Kurt woke up from his daze. He surfaced and held on to Blaine while spitting out water and coughing. He looked at Blaine when he could breathed properly again. Blaine smiled to him and pulled him into a hug.

"That was so hot, Kurt. You're the sexiest man I ever seen. There are so much I want to do to you, and with you Kurt. You drive me crazy with desire." He whispered in his ear.

Kurt looked at him, eyes darkening with desire.

"I want you. Now." Kurt said to Blaine.

Blaine hadn't a possibility to answer though, Finn jumped in and splashed water on both of them. Puck followed not long after. Mercedes and Rachel took the ladder down.

They started a water fight, which became even funnier when Mercedes and Rachel started squealing. The fight subdued be itself like it always does. They started jumping and diving instead. Blaine who had lost most of the fat he once had on his body, started freezing faster than anyone else. He tried not to show it, he had such a good time goofing around with friends. But when his lips were turning blue and his body started shivering, he couldn't ignore it anymore. He climbed the ladder and took a towel and sat down on one of the sun beds. Puck came up after him and sat down on the sun bed next to him.

"You okay?" He asked Blaine.

"I'm cold." He said.

"I can see that. But that's not what I meant."

"I know. But I'm fine. Well, that's not entirely true, but I'm okay right now."

"You looked tired."

"I am, I didn't sleep tonight."

"Yeah, those nights happen." Puck said.

"How are you doing?"

"I don't know really, it's not a good time right now. My father has decided to move in with mom and he's not nice to me or to her."

"Fuck, Puck."

"Yeah, I know..."

"Are you moving in with us for now?"

"I might, I have to speak to Carole about it."

"You can take my room. We're here for two weeks and after that we can sleep in Kurt's room." Blaine said.

"Yeah, thanks, it's nice to have a place to be alone sometimes."

"Yeah, I know."

"I'm gonna dive some more, you wanna join?"

"Nah, I'm too cold right now."

"Yeah, you're just skin and bones."

"I'm aware."
