A/N: you guys make me laugh with your reviews and pleading for another chapter. So, here it is!

My wonderful beta Lauren have helped me!

Kurt and Blaine fell into a comfortable pace in Cincinnati. Kurt would wake up around 9, go for a run before taking a shower or a swim, depending on the weather. He would make breakfast for the two of them before he went upstairs and woke his fiancé up. After breakfast they'd go swimming, which meant Kurt would teach Blaine how to dive, or they would go into Cincinnati either to shop or just to get a coffee. Blaine would fall asleep on the sun beds or in the car. He'd cut down his naps from three hours when he was released from the hospital to one hour. They would spend the afternoons with Kristen and Carole; baking, reading, watching tv or just talking.

Burt came down for the weekend and took Carole with him back to Lima. It didn't change anything for the three left in Cincinnati however, they kept on in their slow pace.

On Wednesday of the second week there's a knock on the door around 10 am and Kurt opened the door for Kristen. It was a rainy day and he had just set the table inside. He was about to wake Blaine up when Kristen came.

"Hi." She said.

"Hi." Kurt said and waited for her to keep talking.

When she didn't say anything just stood there, he looked at her curiously and stepped aside.

"Why don't you make yourself a cup of coffee? I'll go and wake Blaine and when we're back here maybe you can talk to us about what's going on?"

Kristen nodded and moved towards the kitchen. Kurt shook his head at her strange way and climbed the stairs. He sat down on the bed and smiled at Blaine.

"Blainey? Honey?" Kurt said and put a hand on his sternum and shook him lightly.

Blaine stirred and opened his eyes. He smiled big at Kurt.

"Good morning sunshine." He mumbled sleepily.

"Good morning honey." Kurt smiled at him and leaned down and placed a kiss on his lips. "Kristen's downstairs and wants to talk to us."

"Okay." Blaine said and stretched. "I just have to go to the bathroom."

"Okay, see you down there."

When Kurt came down, Kristen was sitting at the table staring out over the lake.

"So..." Kurt said when he sat down next to her.

"It's a really nice view here." Kristen said.

"Uuuh. It sure is." Kurt said.

"Good morning." Blaine said when he came downstairs and plopped down on his seat at the table opposite to Kurt.

"Good morning." Kristen said.

"You wanna have some breakfast?" Blaine asked her.

"No thanks."

"So, Kristen, we love for you to visit us here. You're always welcome to drink coffee and enjoy the view. But I have a suspicion that's not the only reason you're here?" Kurt said.

"No. Right..." Kristen said. "So, I'm having guests tonight."

"Guests?" Blaine eccoed.

"No. Not guests. Guest. Like in one guest." Kristen said and blushed.

"Oohh... Kristen's having a girl over! Or a boy over! And now you want our advice? Well, we can't say we have any experience with girls, but we can give you some pointers on guys!" Kurt teased her.

She turned crimson and looked down.

"Kurt..." Blaine said with a smile on his lips.

"Sorry, Kristen." Kurt said, still smiling at her.

"It's a boy, and I don't need any pointers. I just wanted you to know."

"Aw, that's so nice of you. Do you want us to go to Cincinnati for the night? You might not wanna say you're having your nephews in one of the houses? And that said nephews aren't really your nephews and in fact dating?" Kurt said with a small laugh.

"No, no, no. You don't have go away. He already knows you're here. But, maybe, if it's okay, we could eat dinner separate tonight?" Kristen blushed.

"Yes, of course! No problem at all!" Kurt said to her.

"When is he coming?" Blaine asked her.

"Umh... Well, he's getting off work at noon today, so he should be around 2."

"Okay, then after 2 we'll stay in here." Blaine said. "It's really no problem, Kristen. We're happy for you." He assured her.

"Thanks." She said and smiled to him. "Well, obviously you should come and say hi when Martin comes, it would be strange otherwise."

"Martin?" Kurt asked and she blushed even more at this.

"Oh, right, I forgot to mention that part, huh?"

"Martin? As in our uncle Martin?" Kurt asked her.

"Umh... Yeah..." She blushed even further.

"Of course, we'll come and say hello to him." Blaine said before Kurt could say anything.

"Good, thanks. So I was thinking about going shopping. Do you need anything?"

"I can come with you!" Kurt said and turned to Blaine. "If you're okay with being alone?"

"I haven't been alone since March and it would actually be quite nice to have some time by myself." Blaine said.

"Okay, then. I'll go and write a list and when you're done with breakfast you can come up and get me?" Kristen said.

"Sure thing!" Kurt said to her.

"Good, see you later then." Kristen said and got up.

"Kristen?" Blaine said when she opened the door. "We're really happy for you two!"

"Thanks!"

When she closed the door they turned to each other and smiled.

"So, Kristen and Martin, huh?"

"Let's not jump ahead now." Blaine said and smiled to Kurt.

"Sure you're okay with being alone?"

"Yes, I promise, Kurt. I've been feeling really good for a while now. I know it's not over and that I have a long way to go, but I'm really fine today."

"Okay, good."

Blaine enjoyed the hour he had by himself. He changed the sheets on their bed and put on the washing machine. He vacuumed their small house and was half through cleaning the bathroom when Kurt came home.

"Hi honey!" Kurt said leaning on the doorway.

"Hi, you found everything?" Blaine asked.

"Yep, barbecue tonight!" Kurt smiled.

"Yummy!"

"So Blaine... Let me get this straight? I leave you alone here for an hour, and you choose to clean during that time?"

"Ummh... Yeah..." Blaine shrugged.

"You're a bit nuts, you know that right?"

"You don't have to tell me twice, I've spent enough weeks in the loony bin to know that's true!" Blaine grinned at him.

"Is that... You can't say things like that!"

"Why not?"

"It's not really politically correct, is it?"

"Nah, maybe not, but I figure it's okay since I'm one of those crazy people!"

Kurt laughed and closed the space between them. He took Blaine's face between his hands and pulled him closer. He kissed him and smiled when Blaine kissed him back.

"So, I've got groceries to take care of."

"You go and do that and I'll clean up the last bit in here."

Kurt came up the stairs twenty minutes later and found Blaine on his knees scrubbing the shower with his ass in full display.

"Fuck, Blaine! You're so fucking sexy."

Blaine looked back at him and wiggled his ass while chuckling. Kurt stepped closer and caressed Blaine's back and ass. Blaine pressed back into his touch. He turned around and looked at Kurt who was licking unconsciously round his mouth while staring at his ass. Blaine stood up and took Kurt's hands. He led him to the bed and slowly undressed him. Kurt couldn't deal with the slowness and pushed Blaine down on the bed. The kissed deeply and Kurt pushed his groin down and they both moaned when their erections met.

Kurt pulled Blaine's pant and boxers of him before he lowered his mouth over Blaine's erection. He moaned when he got the taste of Blaine in his mouth. Blaine raised his hips. Kurt tried to hold his hips down but Blaine couldn't help it, he wasn't aware of his hips moving. All he was aware of was the amazing feeling of Kurt's mouth round his hardness. Kurt could hear that Blaine was close and took his own erection in his hand. It meant that Blaine buckled up his hips even more but Kurt didn't mind. He moved his hand faster and faster and soon they both came, screaming, panting, and loving.

Kurt collapsed on top of Blaine. Blaine shifted so they were lying next to each other. He opened his eyes to look at the gorgeous man next to him. Kurt was already sleeping when Blaine surfaced. He smiled at him and pressed a kiss on his forehead before he closed his eyes and started drifting off.

Blaine woke up an hour later. He could hear the shower running and went up. He slid in next to Kurt in the shower. Kurt was washing his hair with his eyes closed. He jumped in surprise when Blaine hugged him from behind. He turned in Blaine's embrace and smiled at him.

"Hi." He whispered.

"Hi." Blaine whispered back and pressed a kiss on his lips.

They showered together. Slowly they washed each other. The shower was filled with love and intimacy. When they were done, they dried each other and showered their bodies with kissed. It wasn't kisses that would lead to sex; it was kisses to show love and appreciation.

"Wanna take a walk?" Blaine asked when they were putting on clothes.

"Sure. Wanna bring some coffee and sandwiches so we can have a little picnic?"

"Yeah!"

They went downstairs and prepared a picnic before they went outside hand in hand. It had stopped raining but they brought their raincoats, wiser than last time they had gone for a walk.

They followed the water a bit until they came to a small beach. There were two families with children there, the children were playing in the water and the grow ups were watching them from ashore.

Kurt and Blaine put their backpacks down on the grass. They spread the picnic-blanket on the grass before sitting down and unpacking their lunch.

"Wouldn't it be awesome to be the one who invented the picnic-blanket with a plastic side so you can sit on the wet grass?" Kurt said when they had started eating.

"Why would you like to invent it? I'm just glad someone did so I can sit here with the most beautiful man on earth."

"Yeah, well... Sometimes I think it would be nice to do something that will still be here when I die."

"But a picnic-blanket?" Blaine looked at Kurt.

"No, not necessary a picnic-blanket of course. I don't know, forget it." Kurt shrugged.

"No, don't say that."

"It's okay, it isn't something I really have been thinking about."

"Okay." Blaine leaned towards him and pressed a light kiss on Kurt's shoulder.

They kept eating while watching the kids playing in the water. Blaine turned to Kurt when he was done with his sandwich.

"So... I've been thinking." He said.

"Okay?" Kurt asked.

"Have you ever thought about who you would be without the bullying?"

"Who I would be?"

"Yeah... If you hadn't been bullied, do you think you would have been different?"

"Wow, I don't know, I haven't thought about it."

"Well, I have."

"So, tell me."

"Well..." Blaine started talking.

"Wait." Kurt interrupted. "Are you talking about the bullying in school or by your parents?"

"My parents?" Blaine looked at Kurt.

"Yes?"

"I was bullied by my parents?"

"Yeah? Or? What? You don't agree?"

"Well... I have to think about that, but I was talking about in school."

"Oh, okay, sorry. Go on!"

"Okay... You know how I can be 'in public' so to say?"

"Bubbly and energetic?"

"Yeah, jumping on furniture and stuff while singing. I think that I would be like that, but it would be for real. Now, or before everything happened, I was two people. One who was all positive and charismatic and one who was scared, sad and really lonely. I'm thinking that without the bullying I would be less sad and less lonely."

"Have you taken any extra medicine?" Kurt asked when Blaine paused.

"Yes, I had anxiety before we left so I took it then."

"You had? Why didn't you tell me?"

"That I had anxiety? If I told you every time I had anxiety, we wouldn't talk about anything else."

"What?"

"I have a lot of anxiety. But now I can handle it better than before. But sometimes I need to take medicine, today was one of those days. But I really don't wanna talk about that now."

"Sorry." Kurt said with a small voice.

"No, you don't have to say that you're sorry." Blaine took his hand and squeezed it. "We can talk about it later if you want, but I really want your opinion about this."

"Okay. So, two people; one bubbly and one sad." Kurt summarized.

"Yes. Right. I think that if I hadn't been bullied all through school, I think I wouldn't be sad. Maybe I would be bubbly all the time."

"But Blaine, you can't talk about this without bringing your parents into this."

"But I don't wanna talk about them."

"I get that, but it's like talking about Twilight without mentioning that Edward is a vampire."

"Kurt... You know I don't like Twilight."

"Okay, it would be like talking about Katy Perry's life without mentioning Russell Brand or talking about my childhood without bringing up my mother's death. No matter what shitty things that might happen, it still affects you. Your parents have affected you, despite the fact that you don't wanna talk about it."

"Yeah..." Blaine said and looked over the water again.

"Hug?" Kurt asked.

Blaine nodded and scooted closer. Kurt hugged him. Blaine laid down and placed his head in Kurt's lap. Kurt played with Blaine's curl and Blaine closed his eyes.

"I don't want them to affect me. I don't want them in my life anymore." Blaine said after a short silence.

"I don't either honey. They aren't in your life anymore, but they will always be in your past."

"I hate them, Kurt."

"I get that. It's okay to hate them."

"I haven't hated them before." Blaine said.

"How does it make you feel?"

"Ashamed."

"They are the ones who should be ashamed Blaine. You have nothing to be embarrassed about."

Blaine didn't answer him. Kurt looked down at his fiancé. He kept playing with his hair. He looked up when a small child started screaming down at the water. More families had come down to the beach; it wasn't every house that had a private bridge like Kristen's had. Kurt smiled at the fact that no one really paid them any attention. Families who came down looked at them and nodded to say hi, and then focused on their kids. It was a relief to be able to sit like this with Blaine in his lap and no one looked twice at them.

"Blaine?" He asked after a while.

"Mmhmm?" Blaine mumbled.

Kurt smiled but let him sleep a bit more. He took a sip of his coffee and kept watching the families. He couldn't see himself as a dad. He had never had any connection with a small child and he didn't long for them as some of his friends did. Both Mercedes and Rachel could dream and would talk about when they had children. He kept watching the children play.

"Blainey? Honey? I think we should head back to the house."

"Mmmm..." Blaine groaned.

"I know, but I really have to go to the toilet soon."

Blaine chuckled and sat up. He turned to Kurt.

"Sorry I fell asleep on you."

"It's okay, sweets. No need to apologize."

"Thanks for listening."

"We aren't finished with this discussion though, but I have to go back."

"Okay." Blaine said and stood up. He held out a hand for Kurt. He easily pulled him up and into a hug. They gather their things and headed back to their house.

When Kurt emerged from the bathroom and went downstairs, he found Blaine sitting outside with a book. He smiled to himself and shook his head, Blaine and his love of books. He took his laptop and sat down next to Blaine at the table outside.

"It's Wednesday." Blaine said.

"Yes."

"Soon, it will be Sunday."

"Uuhuu?!"

"I don't wanna go home. I like it here. I can see us living together here."

"You wanna live here? With Kristen?"

"No, not with Kristen. But I like us when we are alone, without supervision. When we can be us. The weeks here have made me long for the future. When we'll be living together for real, you'll be a Broadway star and I'll be... whatever. We go to work and we'll meet at home at night before you go and perform. I'll be waiting with a cup of tea when you return home again... I want that future with you, and I want it to start now. I don't wanna go back home. I don't wanna go back to being a high school kid with tons of issues."

"Oh, Blaine. I want that to. Well, parts of it anyway."

"What parts do you wanna remove?"

"Well... Remember how I said I might not wanna be a star on Broadway? I kinda meant that. I see us living like that but not with me as a star."

"Oh, right."

"What do you wanna be?"

"Let's see if I can graduate high school first, shall we." Blaine said.

"I'm sure you're gonna finish high school, but if you'd dream? If you could be anything?"

"I don't have a college fund or anything, Kurt."

"I know, but let's just dream, shall we?"

"Okay... If I could be anything, I'd be a nurse. I'd be working with kids like me, on a ward like the one I've been at. I think that would be awesome. I'd like to help kids who are where I was. And maybe we could be a foster family? You and me? We could take in lgbt teens that need a sanctuary? That's my dream." Blaine said, he had been looking over the water while speaking and turned to Kurt when he was done.

Kurt looked at him in awe with tears running down his cheeks.

"Kurt?" Blaine asked.

"I love you so much, Blaine. I want that too. I want to be a social worker who works with trouble teens. I want to help those who really need help. I want to be a foster family with you. I really want that, Blaine!"

Blaine smiled and reached over and took Kurt's hand. He brought it to his mouth and pressed a kiss on it.

"I love you, Kurty. You'll be the best social worker ever."
