This chapter just turned out to be a big old pile of cheese. I don't own anyone in this story that you recognize, I am just playing in someone else sandbox.

Dedicated to Kyle, who is more wonderful than he knows and stronger than he realizes. And to Meg, who makes me realize how lucky I am to have a friend like her. xoxoxo to both of you.

Kurt was doubled over in hysterics as Blaine screamed from on top of the kitchen table.

"Get it, get it, get it, OH MY GOD killlllllllllllllllll it!" Kurt couldn't kill the offender, he could barely breathe through his laughter. "It's HUGE! Kurt! Get it! It's going to bite me," Blaine screeched swatting at the air beneath him like a crazy person. Kurt continued to giggle as he walked over to the trespasser and delicately scooped it up in a piece of paper, not killing it.

"It's a spider, Blaine, not a monster," Kurt teased as he walked to the window, opening it and letting the spider out onto the window pane. Blaine glared at him, even as he slowly climbed off the table.

"It could come back in the house and crawl into our bed and into my ear and lay eggs in my brain, is that what you want?" Blaine asked overly dramatic, but Kurt hadn't heard anything past 'our bed'. It had been ten days since Blaine's nightmare and ever since they had slept in the same bed. Part of Kurt felt guilty and like he was taking advantage of Blaine's fears, but the other part of him, the larger part just loved waking up to Blaine's arms around him to put an end to it. "-Okay?"

"Huh?" Kurt asked, blushing upon realizing that he hadn't been paying attention, but Blaine just chuckled, and smiled shyly, apparently not minding.

"I said that the spider could bite me and I could die," Kurt rolled his eyes and shook his head, Blaine hated spiders, and he never let Kurt forget it.

"That spider was completely harmless," Blaine didn't look convinced and Kurt wrapped his arms around Blaine's shoulders, "And I'll protect you, so you have nothing to worry about." Blaine looked at his partner, no one had loved him the way Kurt loved him. No one had listened to his fears as a kid, no one had known exactly what he needed when he needed it, not even Cooper. And how many people would take care of him the way Kurt had, knowing that it could be months, or years, if ever, until Blaine got his memory back, and Kurt wasn't going anywhere. Blaine could stop himself when he leaned in and kissed Kurt's lips softly, Kurt had gotten used to Blaine kissing him, thought he stopped it before it got to hot and heavy. He also knew Blaine's desperate need to feel loved, to not get pushed away for showing his feelings, something that his mother and father had always done.

"I love you," Blaine breathed as he pulled away. Kurt smiled and nuzzled their noses together causing Blaine to blush,

"I love you too." Kurt's phone chose that moment to ring, causing him to groan in frustration as he looked down at the caller ID, it was Blaine's boss. "Hello, George," he greeted him, realizing he would have to eventually tell Blaine. Blaine tilted his head questioningly, Kurt hadn't mentioned anyone named George to him before, "If he had, he would have called you." Kurt sounded tired and annoyed as he talked to the man, rolling his eyes and sticking out his tongue at the phone, causing Blaine to laugh, not caring that he didn't have the full context. "You think I don't know that, I am the one that has to watch out for paparazzi everywhere we go," Blaine looked at Kurt surprised, he had never noticed Kurt looking out for cameras, but then that was probably because he didn't want Blaine to worry. Kurt sighed heavily and it was moments like that, that Blaine wanted to remind him what it felt like to be a teenager again, without the weight of the world of his shoulders. "Okay, I'll think of something and call you later," Kurt ended the call and smiled sadly at Blaine, "You want to go for a walk?"

An hour later found them in Central Park, hand in hand, both silent, Blaine waited patiently for Kurt to begin.

"There is something I haven't told you," he admitted quietly. Blaine felt his stomach sink, "George, the guy I was talking to earlier..." Blaine nodded in acknowledgment, "He's your boss." Blaine blinked slowly, he kept forgetting that he had a job. "You are a very well know music producer Blaine, you would go to parties and make appearances, and so it's understandable that the press and even people you work with who haven't been told anything past you are taking an extended leave of absence, are starting to ask questions. It's been over a month, and we need to think of something to tell them. George has just been saying you needed personal time, he hasn't said anything beyond that, but they aren't going to wait much longer before they start showing up at our apartment." Blaine could practically feel the exhaustion and concern billowing off Kurt, he didn't like it, he wanted Kurt to always feel happy around him, and even if he wasn't the cause, he knew he wasn't doing anything to make it better.

"Why can't we tell them the truth?" Blaine asked, shifting their hands from merely holding each other, to their fingers being intertwined. Kurt smiled softly at the change before answering,

"Honestly, I don't want it out there that we were jumped. It's no one's business and I'd like to keep them in the dark about our lives as much as I possibly can. But we can tell the truth if you want." Blaine shook his head,

"I just don't want to make it anymore stressful for you than it has to be." Kurt leaned in a kissed his cheek, tenderly,

"I'm fine." It was a lie and they both knew it,

"Liar, liar pants on fire," Blaine sung quietly. Kurt sighed softly and smirked, still unable to get anything past him,

"You are here and healthy, I can think of worst things I could have had to be dealing with right now." Kurt replied, and for a moment Blaine thought he saw tears, but as quick as they came they were gone, so he couldn't be sure.

"Kurt," Blaine murmured, getting Kurt to turn to him, "I'm sorry I can't remember, I wish you could have your husband back." This time the tears got free and Blaine quickly wiped them but Kurt grabbed his wrist, not letting him pull his hand away from his face.

"I have him still," Kurt whispered, "Yes I miss that you don't understand our inside jokes, and I wish you could remember what I told you the day before we were jumped, but we are both here and that is all I need. I don't just love you because of the ten years we've spent together; I love you because every single day you teach me something new. I love that you are re-learning things like it's the first time and you aren't bitter, you're excited. I love that you still take my hand and still kiss me, even though you can't remember why you want to. I love that even though you can't remember, you still choose me." Both men had tears running down their cheeks, "That night when you went with Cooper, I thought I had lost you, I thought you would go and find someone else to fall in love with and I would lose my best friend and partner in one blow. I was so scared you would realize that you had picked me because I was the first person who came along."

"Please don't tell me you really believe that," Blaine begged. "God, from the second I woke up and saw you..." he shook his head, "I only remember being fourteen but I don't need to be twenty-seven to know we were meant to be, I promise."

"You're twenty-six," Kurt corrected, smirking shyly, laughing when Blaine pushed him playfully. Suddenly, even thought neither of them had noticed the darkening clouds, a smack of thunder boomed and the sky opened up with vengeance. "Ahh!" Kurt squealed covering his hair, Blaine just laughed, tilting his head up and letting his face get soaked. "You are a freaking puppy," Kurt said, but he couldn't fight the smile at the light on Blaine's face. They ran over to a tree where the rain was barely getting threw and Kurt tried in vain to fix his hair. He looked up at the street which wasn't far away, "Come on, let's run and catch a cab," Kurt said, walking to lead Blaine to the street, but Blaine shook his head.

"No, let's play," he motioned over to a puddle that had formed in the couple of minutes that it had been raining.

"Are you out of your mind, we are grown men, we are not going to splash in the puddle." Kurt scolded, but Blaine just giggled, taking his hand and pulling him toward the water.

"Come on, we can't get any wetter than we already are, where is your sense of adventure?" Blaine asked, his eyes bright and excited,

"I must have left it at home," Kurt replied, only half trying to pull away from Blaine.

"Well I have enough for the both of us," Blaine claimed, smiled widely. Kurt groaned, but it quickly turned into laughter when Blaine jumped as big as he could into the puddle, causing the splash to hit Kurt. Then Blaine grinned impishly and swiped his foot so that it was like he was kicking a soccer ball and Kurt cried out indignantly as he got even more soaked.

"Oh you are gonna get it now," he ran and jumped into the puddle too, getting Blaine even wetter, but they both just laughed. They jumped and slashed each other for nearly five minutes before a police officer walked by and glared at them disapprovingly and they stopped, still laughing gleefully. Kurt chuckled and panted as he sat down on a bench, it was still raining hard, but neither of them cared anymore. "That was more fun that I have had in a long time," Kurt admitted, grinning at Blaine whose face fell slightly.

"You work too hard," he stated, "Plus now that you're having to look after me..." Kurt smirked,

"You make it sound like I hate my job and like being with you is a burden. I love my life, just sometimes it's nice to be goofy now and then, I forget that, thank you for reminding me." Blaine beamed and nodded, "Now come on, let's go home."

"We could walk," Blaine suggested, for a moment Kurt looked at him like he was crazy, but then he remember they were already drenched anyway.

"Yeah, it's only 20 blocks," Kurt chuckled, sarcastically, but Blaine grinned and nodded, his wet curls bouncing.

"Exactly."

When they reached the outside of their apartment, Blaine tugged Kurt's arms gently, keeping him from going inside.

"I've always wanted to be kissed in the rain," Blaine reported bashfully. Kurt smiled at him and cupped his cheeks, making their eyes meet, Kurt kissed him, deep and long, though fairly chaise. They pulled away and continued to stare at each other, they both looked like drowned rats, but they were both practically glowing with happiness,

"There might be another thing about you losing your memory that is a positive," Kurt said, licking his rain wet lips. "I have fallen in love with you all over again."
