"And then…" Kurt halts his story to take a sip from his glass of wine. It was the first stop he took for breathing in the last twenty minutes he spent telling Blaine about his day.
"He told her that he preferred the one with puppies!" He finished his story.
Blaine almost choked from the bite he took just a second before and started laughing really hard. He loved the way Kurt could talk about everything with the enthusiasm of a little child. He could spend hours listening to Kurt's stories about the day he had, the people he met and generally-any moment he wanted to share with him.
Tonight it was about the day he spent with Mercedes. How they met in their favorite coffee shop, Kurt wearing his favorite scarf (the one that Blaine got him last Christmas) and Mercedes wearing a hat in a matching color. "So we could recognize each other of course!" Kurt added as a matter of fact.
How their favorite booth has been taken so they decided to give a new seat a try but they ended up changing places three times since every one of them was too cold, too noisy or too close to the toilets.
How they spend the rest of the day shopping for new clothes, and the argument they had in the sleepwear department over which pajamas was cuter. The sales man sided with Kurt and asked later for Mercedes number "In case she'll have a fashion crisis again" Both of them smiling with a knowing look on their face.
Kurt relaxed back in his sit "So tell me about your day.."
"Hmm.. It's not that exciting actually. I had coffee with James."
"Will he bring David to the movie night?" Kurt asked hopefully "I really like him. He's the only one I know that I can safely say he's a bigger Broadway fan than I am, and it says a lot."
Blaine nodded in agreement.
"And they are so cute together" Kurt added.
"Yes I believe he will join us. James told me about a surprise party he's throwing for his birthday next month, it sounds really exciting."
Kurt squealed in happiness. Blaine knew that sweet and corny gestures always made his heart skip a beat. Luckily for Blaine – he was always fond of the cheesy love stories and movies, so by now all those signs of affection were his second nature.
Kurt yawned and stretched his hands above his head. "I'm really tired"
"Yeah.. You had way too much to drink. Let's go to sleep."
"Let's go to… bed and we'll... see from there.." Kurt tried to be seductive but couldn’t stop himself from yawning.
"Go change for bed. I'll clean up and be right there."
When Blaine got to the bedroom after washing the dishes he found his boyfriend sound asleep. He got to bed and snuggled beside him.
Blaine couldn’t tell how much time they were sleeping when he heard a distant sound of a phone ringing and felt the body beside him move from his hold to answer it.
A few minutes later he heard Kurt whisper to him "Carole called, my father doesn’t feel so well. I'll head over there to see that everything is alright."
The next thing he heard was Kurt shutting the door behind him.
Blaine spent the next half hour spinning and turning in bed, but couldn’t go back to sleep.
He went to the kitchen to fetch a glass of water and was surprised to see on the wall clock that it was only one in the morning. They've been sleeping for less than an hour.
Blaine sent him a message "Call me when you get there". He knew there was no way that Kurt was suitable for a long drive in his condition and he couldn’t go back to sleep with those thoughts on his mind.
He worried himself sick, waiting for Kurt to call him.
Hours later exhaustion washed over him and he fell into a dreamless sleep.
