A/N:
"Kurt, I want to show you something." Blaine told him, getting up suddenly and holding his hand out.
Kurt stared at it, raising an eyebrow.
"Why don't I trust you?"
"Because the last time you let me take you somewhere it was a disaster?"
"Exactly." Kurt replied, going back to his book.
Blaine sighed.
"How much will it take for you to come with me?"
Kurt looked up at him.
"Will it be painful?"
"No."
"Am I likely to end up getting hurt?"
"It's doubtful."
"Will it ruin my outfit?"
"What? Kurt, that was one ti- No."
"Do you honestly think I'll enjoy it?"
"Yes."
Kurt sighed, considering it.
"Please Kurt? Please, please, please?"
Kurt bit his lip, studying Blaine intently. He didn't seem to be planning anything... He stood up, sighing as he brushed down his clothes.
"Promise me this won't be another disaster."
"I promise."
"Okay." He sighed again. "Let's go."
^.^
In the car ten minutes later, Kurt took Blaine's hand with a little hesitation.
"Do I get to know where we're going?"
"Nope." Blaine grinned happily. "It's a secret."
"But I don't like secrets." Kurt whined, impatient now that he'd caught Blaine's enthusiasm.
"Be patient."
They were silent for a while, listening to the radio. Ten minutes later, Blaine turned down the music.
"Kurt, can I blindfold you?"
"What? No!"
Blaine had already pulled over to the side of the road.
"Please Kurt?" he asked pleadingly.
Kurt sighed.
"Why do you feel the need to blindfold me?"
"Because it's a secret."
"What's a secret?"
"Where we're going!"
Kurt looked at Blaine hesitantly, noticing his hopeful expression, and gave in. If it meant that much to Blaine, he'd do anything.
"Okay."
"Okay what?"
"Okay you can blindfold me!"
Blaine grinned, pulling a tie out of his pocket.
"Close your eyes." He said, reaching around Kurt's head to tie it on. He checked that Kurt couldn't see anything, before leaning toward him and kissing him briefly, pulling back with a smug smile, restarting the car.
They sat in silence again, Kurt taking a tight hold of Blaine's hand. He didn't like this, not knowing where he was, where they were going.
"Blaine?"
"Hush Kurt, we're almost there."
"Almost where?"
Blaine laughed.
Kurt sulked until he felt the car slow, before pulling to a stop.
"Blaine?" he asked hopefully, hands already going to the blindfold. "Can I take this off yet?"
"No! Not until I say." Blaine insisted, pulling his hands away. "Wait a second and I'll help you out of the car." He told him, slamming his door shut. Kurt turned his head expectantly, smiling as Blaine reached across him to unbuckle his seat belt, taking his elbow with one hand, the other a gentle pressure at the back of his neck, reminding him to duck his head.
Blaine led him for what seemed like forever – probably more like five minutes or so, until he pulled him to a halt.
"Okay, ready?" he asked, his voice excited. Kurt nodded, feeling Blaine's fingers fumble on the knot in the tie. Finally it slipped free, and Kurt gazed expectantly around him.
"..Blaine?"
"Do you like it?"
"It's a park..."
"Not just any park Kurt, a special park. Our special park."
"Blaine, as much as I love you, I really don't like parks."
"Kurt, just let me show you okay?"
Blaine asked, holding his hand out. Kurt smiled half-heartedly.
"Okay..." he agreed. Blaine smiled at him, linking their fingers together.
"Well," Blaine started, pulling Kurt with him as he wandered around the small clearing. "Those swings are awesome fun. I broke my arm falling off them once." He told Kurt, pulling him to the base of a enormous tree. "And this tree is amazing to climb. You can get up right near the top, and practically see all the way to the ocean! I tried to build a tree house in it once." He blinked, getting lost in the memories.
Kurt tugged on his arm to get his attention back.
"I used to have picnics here." Blaine said softly. "I've never seen anyone else here, only me and my family." Blaine winced on the last word. "I haven't been back since I was eight, when all the... When everything happened." Kurt wrapped an arm around his waist, rubbing circles of comfort onto Blaine's arm with his free hand.
"Blaine... You don't have to talk about it if it makes you sad."
"No... I want to. I... I want you to know."
"Blaine..."
"No, I need to tell you."
Kurt turned him into his arms, kissing him gently.
"One day at a time, okay? You brought me here today, and tomorrow you can tell me a little bit more." Kurt whispered to him. Blaine took a deep breath, his body shuddering in Kurt's arms.
"Okay." He whispered. "Yeah, okay."
Kurt smiled, kissing him again before he let him go, taking his hand again, letting Blaine pull him back through the maze of trees until they reached the car.
It wasn't until they were almost home that Kurt asked something that had been bothering him.
"Blaine... Why did you need to blindfold me?"
Blaine smiled, a blush staining his cheeks.
"I didn't want you to be able to go without me."
