Author's Notes: Hi! So, since last time OnyxAngelx has agreed to beta this story for me, which means she's the only one responsible for anything that gets better... I'm still the only one to blame for anything that doesn't.As she's going through this from the beginning expect the rest of the story to be slightly edited for the better in the future...

Chapter 15

It was two weeks before Kurt found the time to work on redecorating Blaine's place. It had been a cause for a handful of silly arguments between the two; Blaine had agreed playfully at the beginning, but had backpedalled when he realized Kurt was not only serious about it but willing to put some real work into it. Eventually, Kurt convinced him he was not overworking himself, as it was something he really enjoyed doing. Then they argued about who was paying for stuff; Kurt let Blaine win that one, because, well, working without a budget looked quite fun.

The main goal was to give the place personality without changing it much, as Blaine wasn't staying there for long. That was an issue Kurt was avoiding to think or to talk to Blaine about. Blaine would finish filming in March – a fact that roused a lot of unasked, and unanswered questions, of which Kurt didn't think he was ready to face.

Kurt decided to add little bits of color to Blaine's place, through details that didn't make for much work. He chose a color palette that he thought suited Blaine: red and navy, and made cushions for the sofa with a cool printed fabric. He bought a rug, found an amazing vintage lamp, and added several blankets and small, quaint decorations to give the place some color.

Wanting to get some attention back to the beautiful wooden bookshelf which stood tall in the living room, he took a day to go book hunting. He bought a couple of classics in old editions with yellow pages; they, of course, all had hard covers in shades of dark blue or dark red. In a tiny, cosy bookshop, he found an old edition of the entire 'The Chronicles of Narnia' series. He bought them because they symbolised his childhood – his mother read them to him – plus, putting them in Blaine's home was a way of putting himself there too.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Later that same day, Kurt went to Blaine's place, bringing along his latest findings. Blaine fell in love with what he was doing to the apartment, and Kurt loved seeing his boyfriend's happiness and child-like excitement as he worked.

When Kurt showed him the books, Blaine explained how he loved Narnia when he was a kid, and Kurt told him about his mom reading them to him. He described the significance the books had on his childhood, and the reasons as to why they meant as much as they did to him. Blaine listened intently and hugged him from behind as he placed them carefully on the shelf.

They lay on the couch together, cuddling and talking. It was really nice to finally get some time for that, as Blaine's schedule had slowed down lately. Kurt had the feeling they had found their own rhythm as a couple and they were slowly settling into it. The idea of that happening was as overwhelming as it was beautiful for him.

Blaine talked about finally being about to film the scene in which he was singing and playing guitar. He was so excited about it that hearing him explain it all filled Kurt with an incomprehensible joy. The only way he could think to show how happy he was, was kissing Blaine softly, until they were both breathless.

As Blaine kissed him for the umpteenth time, Kurt couldn't avoid remembering that the filming of this scene meant Blaine's movie was going to wrap soon. He still didn't know what that meant for them as a couple. When their lips parted, Kurt voiced those worries for the first time.

"Are you going back to LA?" He asked hesitantly, eyes cast downwards and not meeting Blaine's gaze.

Blaine looked startled, his golden eyes wide open.

"You mean when the movie is over?" He asked, pulling Kurt to his lap.

Kurt just nodded the affirmative, burrowing his face into the crook of Blaine's neck.

"Well, no. I'm sticking around to do press for it for a couple of weeks. Then, there's this pilot for a show to be filmed here in New York that Allyson is in the talks for. It seems like an amazing opportunity but even if I get the role that would have to be picked up later for it to mean I'm settling here." He put a hand on Kurt's chin, making him look at him in the eye. "I don't really know for sure, but I'm not catching a plane to LA and disappearing any time soon, Kurt." He explained reassuringly. "I may be going back and forward for a bit if I get something there, though."

"Sorry, I was kind of freaking out." Kurt admitted, the pinking of his cheeks an indication of his embarrassment.

"Why didn't you ask, then?" Blaine asked, concerned. "Actually, now that I think about it, you were avoiding the subject, weren't you? I don't know how I didn't see it before." He reasoned, running a hand through his wild curls in discontent.

"I'm being an uncommunicative, childish idiot and you're taking it upon yourself for not reading my mind? You really need to work on your self-exigency, sweetie." Kurt tried to sound serious but just ended up chuckling.

Blaine laughed, lowering his head in embarrassment. The gesture looked adorable on him.

Gosh, I love him, Kurt thought at that cute image in front of him. What? That had been unexpected. He knew he was falling but he hadn't come to terms with it entirely yet. Well, maybe he wasn't ready to admit it even to himself but deep down he knew it was true. He was in love with Blaine. And he was more than okay with it.

Blaine looked at him adoringly, "You okay? I can hear you overthinking."

Kurt smiled. "I'm fine, just glad I manned up and asked you about this." He went for a kiss, instantly lightening the mood.

He didn't know exactly how they were going to do to make it work but he had the feeling they were going to be just fine.
