Kurt had awoken Blaine bright and early with a big grin on his face. After Kurt had dragged him to the subway and they had ridden to the other side of the city, they were now huddled together on a ferry in the bay. They were on their way to see the Statue of Liberty. "Today is your ultimate tourist in New York day!" Kurt had explained earlier.
And Blaine certainly felt like a tourist: wrapped in a coat, hat, and scarf on the top deck of the ferry, clutching a large coffee from Starbucks. The ferry was swiftly approaching the statue, and it seemed to be getting bigger and bigger.
"What do you think?" Kurt asked excitedly.
"I think it's very cool," Blaine said, smiling. "Thank you for taking me." He leaned in and kissed Kurt.
Kurt leaned on the railing and sighed, looking out at the huge structure. "This statue meant freedom for so many people. My grandmother told me that her mother said it was the first thing she saw on American soil," Kurt said.
"That's beautiful," said Blaine. "Do you think one day we'll have that kind of freedom?" he asked Kurt.
Kurt leaned his head on Blaine's shoulder. "Of course I do. I love you so much," Kurt said.
Blaine smiled and kissed his boyfriend. The ferry slowly came to a halt and people started filing off of it.
Kurt and Blaine got off of the ferry and started to walk around. Unfortunately, the observation deck was closed that day, so they wandered around the base of the statue, holding hands and talking.
Blaine snapped countless pictures to send to his family. "Let's get back on the ferry. I want to see Ellis Island, too," Blaine said, smiling.
Kurt smiled too. He was so proud that he had made Blaine so happy.
