"And I thought Heathrow was crazy," Blaine muttered, looking through the cab windows as he sped through the round-a-bouts and narrow alleys of downtown London. His journey had been a long one - a 12 hour flight, followed by 2 hours of passport control and now an almost hour long drive into town - but Blaine was wide awake. He sat in the back, checking his watch incessantly, silently urging time, and the cab, to move faster.

6 months, 4 days, 12 hours and....6 minutes ago Kurt got on a plane from Dayton, Ohio to London (via Atlanta), not that Blaine was counting or anything. It had been more than 6 months since Blaine last saw Kurt, since he last kissed his lips, or felt the warmth of Kurt's body as he held him close. 6 months since he felt the butterflies in his stomach that came not from the fear of an errant missle but from the disarming smile of one Kurt Hummel.

As the car came to a stop just outside the address that Blaine had for Kurt he felt as though he might pass out. "Half a year in a war zone and I'm afraid to knock on a door," Blaine muttered, paying the cabbie and wandering in the general direction of the front door. He quickly found Kurt's name next to a buzzer for flat 42b and hesitated only slightly before gently pressing it with his finger.

"Hello?" Kurt's voice rang out no more than 5 seconds later. All of a sudden the moment became real to Blaine - he was about to see Kurt again! "Um, hello? Anyone there?" Kurt's voice crackled over the intercom.

"Surprise," Blaine whispered, not entirely sure Kurt would be able to hear. He was shocked to hear the tears he didn't know were falling as he repeated himself, louder. "Surprise!"

There was silence for a few seconds, the buzzing of the intercom gone, until Blaine heard the clamor of footsteps down countless stairs and the door flew open.

"BLAINE!" Kurt cried, throwing himself at Blaine and kissing his cheek, his neck, anywhere he could find skin, until finally their lips met once more. "I thought you were going home," Kurt breathed between kisses.

"I did."
