Chapter Nineteen
Blaine woke up Thursday morning feeling sore, he was happy about it of course, but it'd be a rough day. He rolled over in bed and curled around the body next to him, he was still at Kurt's because it'd been so late and Kurt hadn't wanted him to leave anyways, so he stayed. Kurt was lying flat on his back, one arm curled slightly around Blaine, but loose because he was sleeping still. Blaine blinked slowly, waking himself up, it was still relatively dark out, and Blaine had an internal clock that had him always waking up early.
He sat up and looked around the room for his phone, he couldn't see very well yet, the sun was just now coming up, so there was a little light. He saw it on the floor, not too far from the bed so he leaned over the side to reach for it, having to stretch some, but he got it. The battery was almost dead, since he hadn't charged it last night, but he now kept a charger at his desk. It was 6:43 he should probably go into work early today, so he should wake Kurt up and let him know. He looked over to him and smiled softly, he looked so beautiful sleeping, and well really he looked that way always. Blaine sat his phone down and leaned over Kurt, gently tapping his shoulder to wake him. Kurt didn't do so much as twitch, Blaine got distracted though, because being this close to his face and not being distracted by his eyes made Blaine notice other things. Like Kurt's many freckles, and how thin his lips were, how his eyelashes fluttered as he slept so many things.
As he was taking in all the intricate features of Kurt's face, Blaine unconsciously moved closer to him, jarring Kurt enough to wake him. Blaine was just about to run his fingers over Kurt's cheek when his eyes opened. "Blaine?"
Blaine moved his hand back quickly and sat up and away from Kurt. "Sorry."
"No don't go, just was surprised." Kurt's voice was rough from sleep, making Blaine smile.
He went back to where he had been almost laying on top of Kurt, who wrapped his arms tightly around him. Kurt turned over on his side, almost rolling on top of him and adjusted the covers so that he could feel Blaine's skin. Kurt tucked his face into Blaine's neck and slipped his leg in-between Blaine's, causing him to moan, because they were still naked, and it was morning.
"Good morning." Kurt said, though Blaine couldn't see him, he could feel the smirk in his voice.
"Good morning."
Kurt pulled away slightly, just enough to see Blaine's face. "Good sleep?" He asked, moving his hand so he could run it gently down Blaine's side, causing him to shiver.
Blaine hummed and leaned toward Kurt. "Yeah, really good, you?"
"Yeah, was good too." Kurt smiled and leaned forward to kiss Blaine chastely. Blaine leaned into him, enjoying Kurt's mouth on him, no matter how short it was.
"What time do you need to be in for work?" Kurt asked squeezing Blaine's hip.
Blaine's eyes closed a little, he almost wished Kurt would stop touching him, because it was starting to make him want more. Actually that was a lie, Blaine always wanted more. "Technically I don't start till nine, but I was going to go in early."
Kurt nodded, though since Blaine couldn't see, he said. "Okay, well do you want to go home first?"
Blaine's eyes opened, frowning slightly in confusion. "Don't I need to, my clothes are wrinkled."
Kurt smiled at him. "They are, but I was thinking you could just borrow some of mine, if you wanted?"
Blaine stared at him stunned. "You'd let me borrow you're clothes? But you are leaving for like five days, what if something happens to them?"
Kurt laughed. "Blaine, I'm not that crazy about clothes!"
Blaine just kept looking at him.
"Okay, maybe I am, but I trust you. Besides I want you to stay with me as long as you can, I won't get to see you for five days, as you pointed out." Kurt said, his voice getting softer as he talked.
"Okay, we can do that then." Blaine smiled and leaned toward Kurt wanting to be closer again.
"Great, let's go shower." Kurt said, moving the blankets off of them both and sitting up.
Blaine pouted a little, not liking having to be away from Kurt at all. Then he looked up, and Kurt was standing there looking at him, he was still naked and just wow.
"Come on Blaine!" Kurt said holding his hand out.
"What?"
"I said let's take a shower, so come on." Kurt was waving his hand, trying to get Blaine to take it. He didn't, so Kurt grabbed and pulled him.
"Wait, you want to take a shower together?" Blaine asked, even though he was following Kurt into the bathroom.
Kurt turned back to look at him. "Of course, time saver." He said with a wink.
Blaine smiled and watched Kurt get everything ready, turning the water on and adjusting the temperature, it was a nice view. Kurt's back was very muscular, but so were his thighs, and Blaine wasn't even sure there were accurate words to describe Kurt's ass. "How hot do you like it?"
Blaine blinked at Kurt and blushed, thinking he must have said something out loud. "Whatever you like, but I want you to take me."
Kurt's head whipped around. "What?"
"I, um, what?" Blaine said flustered.
"I was talking about the water temperature, what were you talking about?" Kurt asked smirking.
"Uh, nothing." Blaine mumbled looking anywhere but at Kurt.
Kurt walked over to Blaine. He wrapped his arms around him and pulled him tightly against him. "Oh I think I know exactly what you were talking about, get in the shower with me." Kurt pressed a kiss to Blaine's neck, just below his ear, causing him to shiver.
Blaine nodded and followed him to the shower, Kurt let him step under the spray first, the water was pretty hot, but not unbearable.
"You can turn it down, if it's too hot for you." Kurt said watching Blaine, looking over every part of him.
Blaine turned around to face Kurt then, the water hitting the top of his head and running over his face. Kurt stepped up to him and reached over to adjust the shower head for a better angle, since Blaine was shorter. That put Blaine in a lovely position, he was so very close to Kurt's mouth, and he really couldn't be blamed for his actions. He leaned forward and kissed him, placing his hands on his waist so he didn't inadvertently knock him over. It barely took a second for Kurt to respond, but he quickly took control, opening Blaine's mouth up with his tongue. He wrapped his own arms around Blaine, and griped him tightly, hands reaching down and grabbing Blaine's ass. Blaine moaned into the kiss, his ass was still sensitive, but it felt so good.
They kept kissing, both ignoring the morning breath, because kissing was above simple things like that. Soon Kurt had Blaine pressed against the shower wall, and was griping his thigh and pulling it up. He ground into him roughly, making Blaine pull his mouth away and gasp. They had both been half-hard since they'd woken, but they'd ignored it, now it was impossible.
Kurt went to mouth at Blaine's neck, wanting to bruise him, since he wouldn't be able to for a while. Blaine arched up into him, gripping his back, nails digging in, Kurt moaned into Blaine's neck, loving how it felt.
Blaine turned his head, trying to get to Kurt's mouth again wanting to kiss him more. Everything felt so good with Kurt, and kissing made it a thousand times better. Blaine let Kurt do what he wanted, letting him bit his lip, suck on his tongue, and then he felt Kurt's hand move lower, bypassing his dick completely and going to his hole. As soon as he felt the touch to his rim, he moaned deeply, because while he was sore, it still felt so very good.
"Kurt…" he let out on a deep moan, barely pulling away from Kurt's mouth to say it.
Kurt licked across his lips, and pulled back. "How sore are you?"
Blaine blinked, trying to think. "I don't know, I want you though, please."
Kurt smirked and pulled harder, kissing Blaine roughly, he pressed his finger into Blaine dry.
Blaine squeezed his ass against Kurt's finger, it didn't feel that bad, actually it felt good, and he could probably take getting fucked again.
"Baby, are you sure? We don't have to I can get you off any way you want." Kurt said, kissing along his jawline.
Blaine didn't know, he wanted Kurt to fuck him, he really wanted it actually, but did he want to go all day with being sore? Yes, yes he did. "Please, god fuck me Kurt."
Kurt stared at him for all of two seconds, before he surged forward kissing him, biting his lips and pressing his finger in deeper. Blaine was in heaven, he loved it when Kurt was like this, how dominant he was, it made Blaine weak. "Fuck Blaine, you are so hot. Going to make you feel me for days."
Blaine whimpered that's exactly what he wanted. "Please."
Kurt pulled away, not a lot just enough to look into his eyes. "Yeah, I got you. Do you want me to get the lube from the bedroom, or just use soap?" Kurt asked softly, running his hand gently threw Blaine's wet hair.
"Lube, sorry but the soap, it'll burn, plus we need a condom still." Blaine said he used soap once on himself, never again.
Kurt nodded, kissed him gently then stepped out of the shower. He was only gone for thirty seconds, but when he got back, Blaine felt liked it'd been much longer. He moved to him quickly as soon as he stepped into the shower again wanting to kiss him, touch him, anything really.
Kurt let him kiss him, controlling the pace at first, but after a few moments, he took over and grabbed Blaine's head and titled his head to angle him better. The tube of lube was still in Kurt's hand, so it was pressing into Blaine's head roughly, reminding him of what he really wanted.
"Kurt, the lube." He said, after pulling back from Kurt's mouth.
"Oh sorry." Kurt said, smiling a little sheepishly. He sat the lube and condom down on one of the shelves in the shower, and turned back to Blaine, who was staring at the tube longingly.
Kurt laughed. "What, no foreplay?"
"Not enough time." Blaine said completely serious.
Kurt smiled and picked the tube back up and moved forward, making Blaine press himself up against the wall again. "You have a point."
It didn't take long for them to get back into it, Kurt kissing Blaine fiercely, Blaine letting him. Kurt squirted some lube onto his fingers and moved it to Blaine's hole, not waiting a second before to pressing in. Blaine moaned, it felt amazing but he wanted more and soon. "Kurt stop taking so long."
Kurt laughed, but gave Blaine what he wanted, pressing another finger in and then another, barely giving Blaine enough time to adjust. But Blaine loved it. He was still open from last night that it didn't hurt at all, just a sore ache, which Blaine wanted.
Kurt hitched Blaine's leg up and onto his hip, thrusting his fingers in deeper and angling them to hit Blaine's prostate. Blaine whimpered from the intensity. Kurt pumped his fingers in a few times but then stopped. He grabbed the condom from the shelf, and opened it with his teeth, the water and lube making his fingers too slick.
Blaine watched him with longing, knowing what was coming, but he wanted to fast forward time and just feel it now. He watched Kurt roll the condom on, and then felt Kurt grabbing his other leg and lift, god Kurt was strong and he loved it. Blaine was pressed tightly into the wall and Kurt angled his cock and pressed inside Blaine slowly, but completely. Every little stretch caused a shiver to run through Blaine, it felt so good, the stretch the heat and pressure from his cock.
"Fuck Blaine, how are you still tight?" Kurt asked breathless, he was pressing kisses onto Blaine's neck, sometimes sucking, sometimes biting.
Blaine wasn't sure he was supposed to answer, but then Kurt started kissing him and he was occupied. Then he started thrusting, they were quick and shallow thrusts, but damn it felt good. Kurt was still kissing him, roughly biting at his lips, his hips thrusting hard and quick.
Blaine wrapped his legs up and under Kurt's ass, lifting himself and bringing his ass down hard on Kurt's cock, making them both moan loudly. "Fuck Blaine!"
Kurt ran his hands upwards, and grabbed Blaine's hair tightly, forcing his head to the side, he bit roughly into his neck, sucking harshly. Blaine moaned, and whimpered, feeling completely overwhelmed by everything. He ran his nails down Kurt's back, leaving deep red marks. Kurt's pace picked up and he had moved one of his hands to press in-between them and grab Blaine's cock.
Blaine groaned, it was so much, Kurt pressing against his prostate, the grip on his cock, he couldn't handle much more. "Kurt, please."
"What do you need Blaine?" Kurt asked breathlessly.
Blaine didn't know, he just wanted Kurt, and he knew that didn't make any sense, but it couldn't be helped. "Kurt."
Kurt just kissed him again, licking into his mouth and sucking his tongue. Blaine felt a little faint, and then Kurt thrust in forcefully, and squeezed the head of his cock, and Blaine couldn't handle it anymore, he came. "Kurt!"
Kurt had pulled back and watched Blaine come, smirking slightly. "Fuck Blaine, you look gorgeous." The come was splattered over both of them.
Blaine wasn't even sure what Kurt was saying, so he just nodded. He could see black spots dance in front of his eyes, causing him to not fully see what Kurt was doing, but he could feel him, that was enough. Kurt had started fucking him again, he was still holding his cock too, and Blaine whimpered. "Kurt."
"I know baby, I know." Kurt said, thrusting harder into him, he let go of his cock though, and placed both hands under Blaine's ass, squeezing his cheeks together, he thrusted twice more and came.
They pressed their foreheads together, Blaine's legs still wrapped around Kurt, and him holding Blaine against the wall. Kurt let go of Blaine, and grabbed both of his hands lacing them together. The shower beat against them, still hot, because Kurt's plumbing actually worked properly. Kurt kissed Blaine softly once and then twice, and then deeper the third time.
Kurt pulled back after a few moments, letting go of his hands and lifting Blaine up so he could pull out, and then dropped his legs slowly. Kurt took off the condom, tied it, and reached out to put in the trash. Blaine leaned heavily against the wall, breathing deeply, his legs felt weak, and his heart was pumping so quickly.
"You okay?" Kurt asked once he was back in front of Blaine, holding him close again.
"Yeah, think so." Blaine said, talking into Kurt's chest.
"Want me to wash you?"
Blaine nodded, closing his eyes and just breathing with Kurt. He felt Kurt move, but didn't really do anything, since Kurt wasn't moving away. He heard a bottle open, probably soap or shampoo, and then felt Kurt's hands in his hair. Blaine moaned, he loved the feeling of hands in his hair, but Kurt didn't spend too long on his hair, he washed it, then pushed Blaine back towards the shower flow and rinsed him. Blaine stood quietly under the spray with his eyes closed just enjoying the feel of the water, Kurt pulled him out though after a few minutes, then added conditioner to his hair, or probably, Blaine wasn't entirely sure. He wasn't directly put under the spray that time, and he curious about why, Blaine opened his eyes. He saw that Kurt was rubbing his own hair, so that was probably why. Kurt noticed him then, and smiled at him. Next Kurt reached over and behind Blaine and pulled out the soap, Kurt ran it over both of them, not paying attention special attention to anything, which Blaine was almost thankful for. Both of them were then under the spray, rinsing off at a steady pace. Once done, Kurt turned the water off and opened the shower; he stepped out and then handed a towel to Blaine.
"Here, go ahead and dry off, I'm going to find us some clothes. You can brush your teeth, I don't have an extra sorry, but I figure we've shared germs already." He offered with a grin.
Blaine smiled and nodded content to not speak for now. Kurt left the bathroom, and Blaine dried himself off and then put the towel in the hamper. He walked over to the sink and pulled the one toothbrush out of the holder and looked around for the toothpaste, he didn't see it on the counter, so he opened one of the drawers. The first drawer was filled with hair products, which reminded Blaine he didn't have anything to do his hair with. He almost panicked but realized that he was literally looking at a drawer filled with hair products, obviously Kurt would have something. He closed that drawer and opened another; luckily that one did have the toothpaste in it. He spent a few minutes brushing and then when finished went to find Kurt.
Since Kurt had said that he was going to look for clothes, he figured he'd be in the closet, so he looked around his bedroom for the door, seeing it open, he walked over and inside. Kurt was there; he had boxers on now, and was looking at pants. He must have heard Blaine, because he looked over and smiled.
"Hi." He said, and then looked down. "Oh, guess you need underwear too, unless you want to go bare?"
"Hi, um I guess it depends." Blaine replied, walking over to stand beside him.
"Really?" Kurt asked smirking.
Blaine blushed. "Well sometimes the outfit calls for it, though I admit I don't do that often."
Kurt laughed gently. "Good to know, well I don't think what I have in mind makes it warranted. I have some boxers in the top drawer of the dresser in my room, if you want to grab some. I'll be in there in just a second."
"Okay." Blaine said, and turned around to go back into the bedroom. He found the boxers easily enough, and put them on. They were a little tight, Kurt was slimmer than he was, but they didn't pinch so it was okay.
Kurt was in the bedroom in a matter of seconds, bringing in a handful of clothes. "Okay, so I brought you some choices, I picked pants that were fashionable rolled at the ankle, and I know you like prints so I got some of the ones I think you'd look good in."
Blaine walked over to the bed, where Kurt had placed them, and looked down at the choices; Kurt had picked out stuff he would normally wear. He picked out a pair of teal pants, and a white patterned butterfly shirt. The shirt was short-sleeved and buttoned.
"Great! I have accessories, if you want some. My bow-tie collection isn't as extensive as yours I bet, but I do have a few."
Blaine thought about it, but then shook his head. "Unless you have a teal one with white patterns, I don't think it'd work."
Kurt frowned. "I don't think I do, will your shoes work with it?"
Blaine looked around, not remembering where his shoes were left. "I think so."
"You left them by the door." Kurt offered. "I'm going to get dressed myself, see you in a few." He walked back into the closet then.
Blaine nodded to him and got dressed, the pants were tight, but like the boxers not enough to pinch and they were a lot longer than Blaine had thought they'd be. He put the shirt on and buttoned it, it was looser on him and felt weird, but it was Kurt's, so Blaine didn't care that much. He sat on the bed then, and rolled up the pants, making sure they were even and went to find his shoes.
They were by the door like Kurt had said; he put them on and then went back into the bedroom to find Kurt. He needed to fix his hair and wanted to ask Kurt about using his hair products. He wasn't in the bedroom or the closet, so Blaine checked the bathroom. He found him fixing his own hair.
"Hey, you can use my stuff for your hair, though I do love the curls on you." Kurt said once he saw Blaine in the mirror.
"Thank you, but I think I'll tame them today, since I have work." Blaine said moving into the bathroom, and opening the drawer where the products were. He looked through them for a few moments before finding something that would work on his curls.
"You'll have to let me see them styled curly, I'm curious now." Kurt said as he looked at Blaine.
Blaine looked at him in the mirror. "We'll see."
They both went to fixing their hair, Blaine having a little trouble because while the product was good, it wasn't the same as he was used too. He was able to tame it mostly, but there was curl showing through, it reminded him of his look in his sophomore year of high school. When he finally finished he noticed Kurt watching him. "What?"
Kurt smiled and shrugged. "Nothing, just admiring you."
Blaine blushed.
"Come on, it's almost eight now, we can stop at Starbucks on the way." Kurt said, and then left the bathroom, Blaine checking his hair in the mirror once more before following.
Kurt was in the living room, gathering folders from the desk in there, and then walked over to the hallway table. "I was thinking, do you want to leave your clothes here? That way you don't have to take them into work, and I can get them back to you Monday."
Blaine thought about it, it would be embarrassing bringing his clothes in with him, no matter what. "Yeah, if you don't mind."
Kurt smiled kindly. "Not at all, wouldn't have offered otherwise. You have your wallet, phone, keys?"
"Oh." Blaine turned back around and went into the bedroom again, walking over to get his phone from the bed, and wallet and keys from the pockets of his pants on the floor. He felt bad for leaving them there, but he didn't know what else to do with them now. He walked back to the hallway where Kurt was.
"Got them."
"Great, let's go, I'm dying for a coffee." Kurt said, and then turned to the door and they left.
They stopped at Starbucks, and said a short goodbye before parting ways; they needed to take different trains to get to work. As Blaine was walking into the building for work he got a text from Kurt.
Oh Blaine! I just realized I didn't give you a real good-bye. Just like a normal one and I won't see you for days. I'm a terrible boyfriend. –Kurt
Blaine felt a little thrill when he read boyfriend but also felt bad, because he hadn't told Kurt, but he planned to meet him at the airport and see him off, he'd asked him last night what time he was going to leave for the airport.
You aren't a terrible boyfriend at all! We'll talk while you're at the airport, don't worry. –Blaine
Blaine stuck his phone in his pocket and walked into the building. His phone buzzed as he was getting on the elevator, he looked at it on the way up. Fine, but I'm still disappointed. I'll be texting you all day to make up for it. –Kurt
Blaine smiled down at his phone. Is that supposed to be a threat, because it's really not. –Blaine
The elevator dinged, and the doors opened, Blaine walked down the hallway and to the tech room. He immediately plugged his phone in, not wanting to worry about it dying today, when he got to his desk. His phone buzzed again when he sat down, wincing as he did.
Not really, just a promise (: -Kurt
Blaine smiled, it was either going to be a horribly frustrating day, or a good one, probably unbearably long either way.
….
It was finally time; Blaine had left work early, even earlier than he'd planned, because he wanted to get there before Kurt. They'd been texting constantly all day, even more than usual, and Blaine was anxious to see him. He'd been at the airport for a half hour now, Kurt's flight left at 6:20pm and Blaine had wanted to be absolutely sure he wouldn't miss him. He was standing as close to the gate as he could, without looking like a terrorist or something. Though Blaine might be overly paranoid about that, because of his past.
Blaine looked around again, and there he was, finally, Kurt was pulling along two suitcases, and a carryon, Blaine wanted to rush forward and help, but he waited. When Kurt was twenty feet away, Blaine started walking; it only took a few seconds for them to meet, Kurt actually side-stepping him, making Blaine laugh quietly. That had Kurt looking up and turning around. He saw Blaine and smiled hugely, dropping his bag and hugging him tightly. He pulled back once, saying. "Blaine!" And then hugged him again.
"Did you plan this?" he asked.
Blaine chuckled, hugging Kurt back. "Yeah, I wanted to see you one more time, sorry."
Kurt laughed, and pulled back. "Oh Blaine, don't, this is the best! And here I was worried earlier about not saying goodbye."
Blaine giggled, and then said softly. "I'm never saying goodbye to you Kurt."
Kurt's face softened. "Blaine, yeah me too." Kurt rested his hand on Blaine's cheek and leaned forward kissing him softly and sweetly. "I'm really going to miss you."
Blaine nodded, getting a little teary eyed. "Me too."
He must have actually started crying, because Kurt wiped his thumb under his eye. "Hey, I'm not going off to war, I'll be back on Monday."
Blaine laughed in spite of himself. "I know, sorry, don't know what's wrong with me."
Kurt smiled. "Its fine, I get it." He hugged him again. "I have to go now though, do check in and security."
Blaine nodded, pressing a kiss to Kurt's neck. "Okay."
"Don't do that, I have to get on a plane."
"Sorry." Blaine said, not really meaning it at all.
Kurt smiled and kissed him again, a little deeper than before, Blaine let him opening himself up to Kurt. They kissed for a few minutes, a little more intense than they should in public. "Sorry, okay, I do need to leave now. I'll text you when I land, okay?" Kurt said, after pulling back.
Blaine nodded. "Yeah, please."
Kurt smiled sadly pulling away from him completely; he picked up his luggage and turned around, walking off. Blaine watched him go; half wishing he could go with him, even if it meant meeting parents. Kurt was in line now and he turned around, waved at Blaine with a gentle smile, and then turned back. Blaine watched him until he was through security, watched him until he couldn't see him anymore.
He left the airport then, and was sadder than he should be, after-all it was only a few days, what could happen in a few days?
…..
Blaine obviously jinxed himself, he had to of, because he was sitting here, staring at Nick, because he was handcuffed to a toilet. This sounded a lot scarier and more intense than it actually was; in fact there wasn't a single scary thing about this. Nick had wanted to try out the handcuffs, wanted to see if they would hold against being broken, so of course he tried it by handcuffing himself around the toilet.
Blaine had found him when he'd gotten home from the airport, he'd not seen Nick in the living room, but hadn't thought much of it, and only found him because he needed to pee. Nick was asleep with his arms wrapped around the bottom of the toilet. At first glance, Blaine had assumed he was hung-over and had passed out in front of the toilet, so he just left him there.
He'd come back into the bathroom, after having used the upstairs one, and Nick was still in the same position. Blaine kneeled down on the floor, if he did have a hangover, he didn't want to make it worse. He gently shook his shoulder, getting more forceful, until he was awake. Nick sat up and looked around, pausing when he saw Blaine.
"Hey Blaine, good night?" He said with a smirk.
"Yeah, it was. What are you doing in here? Hangover?" Blaine asked with a frown.
"Oh." He looked down at his hands and then lifted them. "No, um no alcohol involved, though with the way this looks, I kind of wish there had been."
Blaine saw the handcuffs, and burst into laughter.
"Yeah, laugh it up, but I was checking the stability." Nick said indignantly.
"Sorry, but those are FBI grade handcuffs, what did you expect? And why did you do it here?"
"Well I figured I needed to check where we might handcuff someone, and this seemed as good as any." Nick said shrugging.
Blaine shook his head in exasperation. "I'm going to get the keys."
"Oh yeah, I lost those." Nick said flippantly.
Blaine turned to look at him. "Nick, really? I have spares, but really?"
He shrugged. "Oh that's good, I've been here for hours, and I'm hungry."
Blaine just shook his head and left the bathroom; he was back in a few minutes with the keys and unlocked the handcuffs.
"Thanks Blaine." Nick said, rubbing his wrist.
"Sure, come on, we can order in some food." Blaine said, and walked out of the bathroom again.
"Awesome."
Blaine went into the kitchen and got the take-out menus from the drawer he kept them in. "Any preferences?"
"Pizza"
"Alright." Blaine said. "Any topping requests?"
"I'm not sure Kurt would be happy about that." Nick said, and then burst into laughter at his own joke. Blaine just rolled his eyes.
"Really?"
"Sorry, um meat lovers." He said, and then laughed again. "Meat lovers!"
Blaine scrunched his nose, both at the terrible joke and the pizza toppings. "Fine, but I'm getting you your own then."
Nick grinned, still laughing. "Yay! More for me."
Blaine rolled his eyes, and called to order the food.
After that, he turned to Nick. "So we are going out tonight. I've picked up some things from a friend that we can use to install on buildings across from the warehouse."
"Really?"
Nick asked, looking a little nervous.
"Yeah, we need to do it tonight, and then tomorrow night, we'll go pick it up and review everything, and then hopefully make plans for this weekend. Maybe Saturday night, see what the tapes say."
Nick nodded slowly, looking worried. "Okay, so like no action tonight?"
Blaine shook his head. "No plans for it, we are taking weapons though, just in case, but I see no reason that we'd have to use them."
"Oh."
"Hey don't worry, it'll be perfectly fine, remember I am trained for this. Well okay, not specifically this, but I do know what I'm doing."
"I know, just you know people."
"I know, you'll be safe though." Blaine said. "I'm going to change now, I borrowed some of Kurt's clothes and the pants are kind of tight."
Nick oohed at him. "Really? Did you get laid too?"
Blaine rolled his eyes. "None of your business. You can use my card if the pizza gets here before I'm done." He pulled the card out from his wallet and sat it on the counter.
"Okay." Nick said, picking up the card.
…
After they had finished eating, Blaine had them get dressed in black or dark colors. Blaine packed up the cameras into a bag, placing his laptop in it too, along with tools needed to place the cameras and some binoculars. He put a lock pick kit in his pocket, just in case. Blaine had borrowed a car from Lauren; it was perfect because it looked like shit. A Toyota Corolla, that was banged up and the back door handle was broken off. They waited until it was dark, and then left, Nick holding the bag in his lap.
"Are you sure this is necessary?" Nick asked they'd only been driving for five minutes.
Blaine sighed. "Yes Nick, I've told you so many times."
"Fine, but let the record show that I didn't want to do this."
Blaine briefly looked at him. "What? Nick yes you did!"
"No, not this! Sure I wanted to do the hard drive bit, but like re-con, that's serious shit." Nick said waving his hands around for emphasis.
"Nick this whole thing is serious shit." Blaine said, more than exasperated with Nick.
Nick pursed his lips. "Yeah, but with re-con, I can't pretend it's not serious. I mean you've got a gun, I've got a gun, oh god why did you give me a gun?" Nick was obviously freaking out.
"Nick, I didn't give you a gun." Blaine said sighing to himself.
"Oh, I have one though."
"Nick give me the gun!" Blaine said, mad that he'd taken one he had no clue how to use it.
"What now?" Nick asked.
"Yes, of course now, I can't have you accidentally shooting yourself or me for that matter." Blaine said.
"Right, but think about it, if I give it to you now, that could potentially mean I could possibly like pull the trigger and then we'd both be fucked." Nick logically pointed out, which surprised Blaine.
"Okay fine, but don't touch it, or move at all. Don't move the seat, or even adjust yourself, just sit still. Where is it?" He asked, looking over Nick, like he could spot it.
"In my jacket pocket." He said promptly.
"Okay, like I said don't move, you didn't turn the safety off did you?"
"Probably not, since I don't know where that is exactly." He said shrugging.
"Damnit Nick!" Blaine almost shouted. "I'm going to die before this is over, I just know it."
Nick patted Blaine's shoulder. "Don't worry, I will too probably. And hey, silver-lining, at least you got fucked by Kurt first."
Blaine sighed, banging his head on the steering wheel, wishing he'd never gotten into this mess. The rest of the drive was spent in silence, Blaine not letting Nick speak anymore.
They finally arrived at the warehouse, and parked about five hundred feet away from it. Nick pointed out which one it was, and where the back and front doors where, at least what they could see of it. Blaine spent some time walking around the block, examining the building from different angles, Nick trailing behind carrying the bag.
Blaine had taken the gun away from Nick as soon as they'd parked, grumbling about him being a thief as he did.
"So how many times are we gonna walk around? My legs are tired." Nick whined.
Blaine rolled his eyes. "Nick, please stop. I'm almost done; actually we are stopping at that spot, and climbing the ladder there." He pointed to a fire escape ladder that was about two hundred feet ahead.
"We have to climb stuff?"
Blaine sighed; it was going to be a long night. "No, you are staying down here and being a look-out, I am going to climb since I know how to set up the cameras."
Nick grinned. "Oh, good then."
They continued walking, and stopped at the fire escape; Blaine took off his jacket and handed it to Nick. "Here hold this." He took the bag in exchange, sitting it on the ground and opening it up. He took out one of the cameras; they only had three, so Blaine was being picky about where they were placed. Hopefully they wouldn't be noticed, but you never know. He brought tools, in case he'd have to hook it up to metal, wood, or stone. He wasn't exactly sure about doing this, he'd practice briefly on some things but this was actually doing it.
"Okay, so I'm being completely serious about being a lookout, I want you to keep attention around you, and if you stay calm the first time, I'll let you hold the gun on the next round."
"Really?" Nick was grinning hopefully, doing a complete turn-around from how he was in the car.
"Like I said calm, I don't want you to die, by accidental shooting or me." Blaine said, giving Nick a serious look.
"Right, I'll be perfectly calm." Nick said saluting him.
Blaine rolled his eyes, but turned around and started climbing up the ladder. He slipped the night vision binoculars around his neck, so he could check the distance and angle, while he was up there. Once he got to a decent enough height and somewhere steady enough to work, Blaine took a look through the binoculars, surveying the area. From here he could see the back door, there was actually someone opening the door, but they didn't pay any attention to anything around them. Blaine wished he had thought of walkie-talkies, he'd have to bring them when they actually do this. For now, he'd hoped Nick was being vigilant. He looked through them again, seeing the door closed, and then turned around to get to work.
This one would be easy, since the frame was by the ladder, he'd be able to just attach a holster around the poll. He finished it in five minutes and looked down at Nick, who was actually checking back and forth and then up, Blaine was kind of surprised and slightly impressed. He turned back to the camera and turned it on, checking the battery was full, and then climbed down.
"You actually did well." Blaine said as he got off the ladder.
"Awesome, I can hold the gun then?" Nick asked hopefully.
Blaine thought about it, really he shouldn't, he really, really shouldn't. "Nick, I don't know, you don't even know where the safety is."
"Blaine, you said though." Nick pouted.
"Let's just go to the other spot first. Follow me."
Nick nodded and followed him. They went the long way, around another building, not wanting to accidentally be seen. Keeping close to the buildings as they could, Nick was actually silent the entire time for once. This one would be the same routine as the first, Blaine turned to Nick then, pulling the gun that Nick had had before out of his pocket.
"I'm giving this to you, but it stays in your pocket, unless someone yells. And even then do not shoot it, just pull it out, and wait for me. In fact, you see this here?" Blaine waited for him to nod. "This is the safety, don't even think about touching it or accidentally touching, got it?"
Nick nodded quickly. "Yeah, I got it, totally."
Blaine furrowed his eyebrows, not completely sure he should trust him. "Alright here, just be careful okay?"
Nick nodded again, taking the gun from him. "Don't worry; I'll be the best lookout you've ever had."
"Right." Blaine looked at him again, hoping against everything he wasn't making a huge mistake giving that to him. He shook the thoughts off, and turned back to the task, bending down to get into the bag for the other camera. He was able to put this one up in the exact same way, glad for the fire escapes being there, and was down in a matter of minutes.
"Okay, so we've got one more, this one might be a little bit trickier, because we have to climb onto the roof for it." Blaine said, grabbing the bad off the ground and starting to walk, Nick trailing behind.
"We?" Nick asked nervously.
"Yes, I don't really see a reason why you shouldn't, might actually be safer higher up." Blaine said giving Nick a glance.
He cleared his throat quietly. "Okay, just I still get to hold the gun, right?"
Blaine let out a soft chuckle. "Yeah, but carefully."
"Yeah, of course."
They walked quietly, Blaine glancing around them, making sure no one had seen them, but it was pretty quiet, hopefully this was normal. Though it did make him wonder if they had moved to a different warehouse or something. He did see that one person, but it was very brief. "Nick, how sure are you that they are still here?"
Blaine stopped and looked at Nick.
"Well, I'm not sure at all; I just assumed they'd still be here." Nick replied shrugging.
Blaine rolled his eyes at Nick's lack of knowledge with this whole plan. "Really? We're doing all this and you don't even know for sure or have any kind of inkling?!"
"I have an inkling, okay! I'm just not like 100% sure." Nick said indignantly.
Blaine sighed. "Fine, I seriously hope this isn't a waste then."
Nick moved in front of Blaine, stopping him from walking. "I don't think it will be, I didn't say I didn't think they'd moved, just not one hundred percent, you know?"
Blaine looked at him for a moment, thinking. "Alright, let's just finish this, and we'll see what the cameras have on them. Go from there."
They both started walking again, Blaine a bit ahead. They stopped at the end of one of the buildings that was across from the warehouse, there was a service ladder leading up to the roof. It was high up though, about twelve feet, and you had to unlock it to release the latch, so Nick would have to boost Blaine up to reach it.
"So I need you to give me a boost up to that ladder." Blaine said to Nick.
"Um okay." Nick drawled out. "How am I doing that?"
Blaine rolled his eyes. "Haven't you boosted someone before?"
Nick shook his head.
"Weird. Just lace your fingers like this." Blaine showed him, cupping his hands together. "Then just kind of lift when I step into your hands."
Nick frowned. "Lift you?"
"Yes, Nick, it's really not that hard." Blaine said exasperated.
"Okay."
They moved so they were under the ladder. Nick kneeled on the ground and laced his fingers together like Blaine had shown him. Blaine stepped with one foot onto his hands, placing his hands on Nick's shoulders for balance and jumped up. Nick didn't do anything though, so Blaine just kind of stayed there.
"Nick, lift!"
"Oh, right, sorry." Nick said lifting abruptly, it through Blaine off balance and he fell backwards. "Sorry!"
Blaine let go of Nick's shoulders and stepped back to just stare at him.
"Sorry, you're heavier than you look."
Blaine looked at him shrewdly. "Really?"
Nick raised his hands in defense. "Not that I'm calling you fat! I just wasn't expecting so much weight, which is obviously all muscle! I'm ready now though."
Blaine sighed. "Sure?"
"Yep, I've got this." Nick said with a grin.
Blaine nodded and waited for Nick to get back into position. He placed his hands on his shoulders again, stepping into Nick's hands. This time Nick lifted properly, and Blaine was high enough to reach the ladder. He still had to pull himself up though, which wasn't too hard. Once up on the ladder, Blaine sat on the lowest bar, he inspected the lock, seeing if he'd be able to pick it or not. It was just a regular key lock so it wouldn't be too hard. He pulled his lock picks out of his pocket, and set about opening the lock. It didn't take too long, only a few minutes, he waited to pull the lock out until he was standing on the ladder. He released it slowly, rung by rung, so that it wouldn't make too much noise and attract attention. He put the lock in his pocket, so they wouldn't leave any evidence. Once it was low enough, Nick grabbed it and lowered it the rest of the way, and then climbed it, placing the bag across his back.
The building they were using was four stories tall, almost exactly level with the warehouse they were going into. They got onto the roof, and Blaine took a survey of the surroundings. The roof was mostly flat; a few sky windows, and air vents, but nothing much. He could see the other roof really well too, and it looked pretty much the same.
Blaine walked along the edge of the roof, surveying the ground below, and across to the warehouse, trying to find the best location for the camera. If they put the camera on the corner, then they could have a chance to see two doors instead of just the one. Though putting it on the corner also made it a little more noticeable.
"Hey Nick, you got any suggestions about placement?"
"Uh, there." Nick pointed to a spot right in front of him; Blaine walked over and looked over the edge to see where it'd be facing. There was nothing but a wall there, not even a window. Blaine turned to him, raising his eyebrow.
"Really?"
Nick shrugged. "Dude I have no clue what I'm doing here."
Blaine sighed, he felt like that's all he'd been doing tonight, and would probably be doing until this was finished. Blaine gave another glance around the roof, and made his decision. He'd place it on the corner; it'd only be there for a day, so hopefully it'd not be noticed.
He got the bag from Nick, and then walked over to the corner. "Nick, come watch out for me." He said over his shoulder, hearing Nick walking towards him.
Blaine sat the bag down and looked over the edge again, seeing if there was anybody below, no one was. Blaine looked through the bag, pulling out the hammer and nails he'd need and the camera and holster for it. There was only stone up here, so he'd have to hammer the holster into it. He spent a good ten minutes just hammering before the nail was far enough in to hold properly. He placed the camera securely into the holster and turned it on.
He stood up and turned to Nick. "Okay, so all of them are on now, we just have to go back to the car, and make sure their syncing to the laptop."
Nick nodded, turning around and walking back towards where the ladder was. Blaine watched him for a moment before shaking his head and bending down to pick up all the tools, and placed them in the bag, then walked back to the ladder. Nick was standing there, just waiting.
"What took you so long?"
Blaine sighed, not saying anything and started going down the ladder, Nick following after a few moments.
Once on the ground, Blaine looked around again, just to be safe, and waited for Nick. When he was down, Blaine looked up at the ladder; he realized he really didn't have a way to put it back. That could be a problem, because what if someone noticed, and then started checking around and saw the cameras?
"Nick, I'm not really sure how to put the ladder back."
Nick turned to him, and then looked at the ladder. "Oh, well that's easy enough." He grabbed the end of the ladder and slammed it up, the latch caught and it stayed.
"Nick!" Blaine hissed, looking around, but calmed once he saw no one was running at them. He then turned to Nick a little stunned.
"How did you know it did that?"
"I didn't, was just guessing. Do you want a boost to relock it?"
Blaine thought about it for a moment, and yeah why not, best not to leave any clues if they could help it. "Yeah, probably a good idea."
So Blaine was lifted again, and he removed the lock out of his pocket and placed it back on. He swung himself down from the lowest rung, and then jumped the rest of the way, only five feet.
With that done, they walked back to the car and got in. Nick handed Blaine his jacket back, and he put it on.
"Hand me the laptop, please?" Blaine asked. "Oh and the gun too."
"Fine." Nick said pouting a little, he opened up the bag, pulling out the laptop and handed it to Blaine. Then took the gun out of his pocket and handed that to him too.
Blaine pushed his seat back, so he'd have more room and opened up the laptop and stuck the gun in his pocket. After the laptop came on, Blaine plugged his Wi-Fi USB in and logged in. He went to the program he had installed for the camera's signal and opened it. They waited for a few moments for it to sync completely and then they were connected. A green and black image came up and Nick grinned at Blaine.
"Thank god you're smarter than me."
Blaine smiled. "Not really, but thanks."
"No pretty sure you are smarter; learn to take a compliment man."
Blaine rolled his eyes, he handed the laptop to Nick then. "Here, position the cameras, we don't want to adjust them too often, so make sure they are in a good spot."
Nick nodded and started doing as told. Blaine adjusted his seat, and started to drive, not wanting to stay there longer than necessary.
…..
Blaine and Nick were in the living room, back at the apartment when Blaine got a call from Kurt. They had been going over plans for the heist, as Nick had started calling it, because apparently they were real criminals now. Since they had done re-con now, so were obviously professionals. Blaine stood up from the couch while answering, not wanting to be around Nick, while he talked to Kurt.
"Hello."
"Hi Blaine! You didn't reply to my text, so I thought I'd call you."
Blaine frowned, not having realized Kurt had texted him. "Oh sorry Kurt, I haven't even seen it."
"Oh, what were you doing?" Kurt asked his tone curious.
Blaine bit his lip, actually a little worried about telling Kurt what he'd been doing, but he couldn't lie to him. "I was with Nick."
"Oh, and what where you guys doing?" Kurt's voice had hardened a little; Blaine knew Kurt was overly worried about Nick. And maybe he had a reason, well kind of one, it was complicated.
"Um, well wewentandplacedcamerasaroundthewarehouse." He said in a rush, trying to get it out quickly.
"I'm sorry, but I must have heard you wrong, because it sounded like you went and put cameras around a warehouse. But you wouldn't have done that, because you would of course tell me before doing something like that!" Kurt whispered-yelled.
Blaine flinched. "I'm sorry! We had to, we were completely careful though, and we're already back home and safe, so no worries!" He said, hoping to pacify Kurt.
"Blaine! That's not staying safe, that's like the furthest thing from staying safe!"
"We were armed though." Blaine said softly.
"Oh well then that's fine, because you were armed, nothing bad could possibly happen to you! Nothing at all!" Kurt said flatly.
"I know, but it was important." Blaine said softly.
Kurt sighed. "Okay, just. God Blaine, please tell me next time you do something like that. What if something had happened and I wouldn't have found out until like I watched the news a few weeks later, and they found your body in the river."
Blaine couldn't help the laugh that escaped. "Kurt, that's not going to happen."
"You don't know that though!" Kurt said petulant.
Blaine smiled, indulgent with Kurt's dramatics. "Okay, I don't, but I know what I'm doing. I will tell you next time though, I'm sorry I didn't this time, I should have."
"Yes you should have, but I forgive you. Just, I want you to be safe, okay?"
"Yeah, okay." Blaine smiled to himself, loving that Kurt was so protective over him.
"Good, it's kind of pathetic but I miss you already."
"It's not, I miss you too. How's your trip been so far?"
"Oh the whole hour I've been home? It's good, I've missed my dad though, and I'm really excited about tomorrow. That's when the birthday dinner is, so I'll be giving Carol her present then."
"Are you going somewhere?"
"I think so, they haven't exactly told me, which isn't like them at all." Kurt pouted, or it sounded like he was pouting to Blaine.
"I'm sure you can ask them now?" Blaine half suggested, half asked.
"Well, they've just gone to bed now, but knowing my dad he'll go back into the kitchen in half an hour for snack." Kurt said with a chuckle.
Blaine laughed. "On a strict diet, is he?"
Kurt groaned. "Oh Blaine, he's horrible, not as bad as he used to be, but still! I could go on and on about it, really."
Blaine smiled. "You should, I love hearing you talk."
"Really?"
"Yeah." Blaine said.
"Okay." And they spent the next hour talking about Kurt's dad's diet and then his childhood, and family, it was a good night over all.
