“Oh Lover boy’s”

Kurt and Blaine both groaned as Katie poked them in their ribs.

“Guys we’re at the beach!”
Blaine shot up, nearly sending Kurt flying of his lap.

“Beach!”

Kurt rolled his eyes. “You’re like a four year old Blaine”

Blaine seemed unfazed by the comment.

“Can we buy Buckets and spades baby?”
He asked.
Kurt took one like at those big hazel eyes and melted.

“Fine...”

“A pink one?”

“Really Blaine?”

Katie watched in amusement as people began to pile of the coach.

“You can help me with the sun cream before you go off building castles”

“Okay! You’ll build it with me though right?”

Kurt sighed.
“If I must”

Liam laughed and Kurt gave him a small smile.

The foursome made their way off the coach, the hot sun bearing down on them.
Blaine reached for Kurts hand as they walked and Kurt gave him a weary look.

“What’s wrong?”

“I-Nothing it’s just...”      Kurt held their linked hand up in explanation.

“So? If I want to hold your hand I’ll hold your hand...that is if you want me too”

“Of course I do...bu-.”

“No buts”
Blaine smiled.

They found a nice unpopulated area of the beach away from any noisy families. The four set down their beach towels in a line.



Blaine rummaged through the bag, producing a bottle of sun cream.

“Shirt Mister”
Blaine grinned.

Kurt blushed before pulling his shirt over his head, causing a wolf whistle of Katie and a wink of Blaine.

Kurt made to lie on his stomach and Blaine gently rubbed in the cream, once he’d finished they swapped places.

As soon as Kurt declared he’d finished Blaine shot up to his feet.

“Buckets!”

“You don’t give up do you? Fine...But you can carry me..to comfy” Kurt said.

Kurt gave a surprised shout as Blaine effortlessly picked him up bridal style .

“Hey!”

“Kurt! Quite squirming...this will never work!”
Blaine placed Kurt on his feet before turning his back to him and crouching.

“Hop on”
Kurt giggled.

“I was joking, I can walk”

“Aww...Come on Kurt”

“Fine”


Kurt held on to Blaines shoulders and Jumped, Blaine caught his legs and Kurts arms rapped around his neck, head nuzzling in his neck.

“Giddy up”

Blaine giggled hosting Kurts legs further up his hips before continuing to walk.

“you’re so strong!”

“Kurt, you weigh nothing”

“do too”

“do not” They bickered.

A middle aged women laughed as she passed and gave Kurt a smile.
Kurt smiled back happily.


Blaine did not put Kurt down even when they reached the shop, regardless to Kurt’s constant protest and whining.
Blaine continued to walk up and down each isle with Kurt on his back.

Blaine let out a particularly high pitched squeal when his eyes landed on a pink bucket and spade.
Kurt giggled, following Blaine’s gaze.

“Pink? Really?”

“Yeah It’s m- Damn I knew I was forgetting something, Baby remind me to show you my pink sunglasses when we get back!” The shorter boy rambled, dumping the spade and bucket into the basket, adding a Blue spade and bucket for Kurt.

“Baby, do you want an ice cream?” Blaine asked, waking over to the freezer.

Kurt scrunched his nose.
“No thanks, you get one though!”

“Of course I’m getting one Kurt! Ice cream is the most fabulous tasting food in the whole wide world! Its like...Like...Like sex in your mouth!”

Kurt Blushed as People turned to star

“Blaine!”

“What?! It’s true!”

Kurt was about to argue when Blaine took off again towards the Hawaiian/surfer looking bracelets.

“Im getting you one of these!”

“No, Blaine you don’t have to buy me anything.”

“But I want to...Besides, this one matches your eyes!”

Kurt smiled pressing a kiss to the top of Blaine’s head.
The older boy held Kurt up with one arm while adding the bracelet carefully to the basket. Its chords were white and sparking Blue gems were embedded around it.

Once Blaine had paid, much to Kurts dislike, Blaine handed Kurt the bag to carry, hosting the boy further up his hips once more, they left the shop.

Katie and Liam were deep in conversation when they arrived back to their spot on the beach; Katie laughed eyes wide in disbelief when they arrived with Kurt still happily wrapped around Blaine.

“You carried him all this time?”

“yup!” Blaine grinned popping the ‘P’

Once Kurt was back in lying position Blaine rummaged through the plastic back, Smiling at Kurt before slipping the Bracelet onto Blaines wrist.

Kurt made a note to get Blaine something at some point during their month at camp.

Kurt smiled up at Blaine.
“Thank you, I love it”

Blaine pressed a soft kiss to his boyfriends lips, he pulled away, digging back in the bag to get out his ice cream, he took off the wrapper and happily began to eat his strawberry cornetto

“Want some baby?”  Kurt opened his eyes and shook his head once he realised what Blaine was talking about?

“No even one lick?”
Kurt blushed at the double meaning that had popped up in his mind.

Blaine smirked.
“Get your mind out the gutter Hummel”

“Hey you put it there!”

Blaine giggled.
“Please try it? For me?”

“Okay if it will make you happy. Blaine grinned holding the ice cream to Kurts face; Kurt scrunched his nose, tongue darting out to take a lick.

“Ew, ew! That’s horrible!”
Kurt pulled away, grimacing.

Blaine stared.
“Kurt, how could you say that...It’s heaven”

Kurt smiled a little.
“No...Its disgusting”

“You’ll Hurt It’s feelings!”

“Oh my God Blaine ! It doesn’t have feelings its ice cream!”

They were cut off from their playful banter by a kissing sound.

The boy’s heads turned comically fast to find Liam and Katie engaged in a pretty heated make out session.

“Ew..Now that’s gross” Blaine said.

“Agreed!”

“Walk with me?” Blaine asked getting up and picking up their pink bucket.

Kurt cocked an eyebrow.

“Where to?”

“Seashell hunting”

Kurt smiled brushing the sand of his legs.

Blaine made to reach for Kurt’s hand and this time the younger boy said nothing, just smiled and intertwined their fingers.

They walked to the edge of the water Blaine not being able to resist running in a few centimetres but screaming like a girl at the cold consistency of the water.

“Found one!” Kurt called picking a purple looking shell.

Blaine grinned holding out their bucket
soon they boys had found as many seashells that Blaine had deemed appropriate, and the two just continued to walk along the long stretch of gold sand.

“Blaine?”
“Hmm?”

“I-I want to ask you something, But I’m not really sure how you’ll take it...I mean you don’t have to answer it but-“

“Baby what do you want to ask me?” Blaine said reassuringly, squeezing Kurt’s hand.

“W-well...How did you become Bipolar?”

“Oh” Blaine let out a laugh.

“Well, Bipolar or manic-depressive disorder which is the real name , isn’t actually caused by anything that has happened to me or something I’ve done...It’s just –without trying to get to complicate -an unbalance of chemicals in the brain, Differences in neurotransmitters Play a big effect though”

Kurt nodded to show he was understanding.

“Everyone in their mind, get angry or sad or depressed right? But normal people-“

“Most people” Kurt corrected earning him a soft smile from Blaine.

“Most people have a sort of-off and on switch, if you will” Blaine said, eyes transfixed on the sand in concentration.

“They can decide, most of the time whether or not they act on their feeling...their anger or sadness...But I rarely have that option, instead I express how I’m feeling but not in a good way”


Kurt squeezed his hand and leant over to kiss his cheek.

Blaine smiled and carried on.
“There are two types of Bipolar, Manic and depressive, I...I have a bit of both”

Kurt nodded.
“Yeah, I know about manic and depressive...I googled It”

Blaine chuckled lightly.
“So yeah, sometimes it runs in the family but its defiantly not caused by some life changing event”

Kurt smiled
“Thank you, for telling me”
Blaine shrugged.

“You deserve to know”

“I love you”

Blaine grinned finally meeting Kurt’s eyes.

“I love you too, want to go back to our spot and give Liam and Katie a taste of their own medicine?”
Blaine raised his eyebrows and winked, making Kurt giggle.

“Okay...but keep it light ...I don’t want to get us in to trouble”

“Trouble? Look around Kurt...A lot of couples are doing it...I mean he’s got his finger u-“

“Whoah Blaine! Too much detail, what I mean is yes, that’s true but they’re all...”

“Straight?”

“Well...Yeah”

Blaine sighed.
“Kurt so what! If they have a problem, fuck em’, I thought I’d already proven that I can hold my own”... “Are you embarrassed to be with me?”

“What?! No...You’re being ridiculous!”

“Oh, I’m being ridiculous...I am your Boyfriend Kurt!”

Kurt took a deep breath, he hated when they shouted.

Instead of replying he just began to walk back to their spot, making sure Blaine was following.

“Don’t ignore me!”
Kurt didn’t answer, this was the last place he wanted Blaine to go off the rails.

Kurt slumped down on to his beach towel ignoring the confused looks from Katie and Liam.

Blaine flopped down next to him, staring pointedly at Kurt.
Kurt’s eyes were squeezed shut; Blaine hovered over the younger boy before lowering his head and pressing his lips softly to Kurts.

Kurt sighed pushing Blaine by his chest and turning his face.
Blaine bit his lip.

“Kurt”

No answer.

“Baby please”


Nothing.

“For Fuck sake Kurt fucking look at me!”

Katie Jumped and Liam looked nervous.

Calmly Kurt turned his head to meet Blaine’s eyes. Blaines own eyes were dark and shining with unshed tears.

(Author note- I’ve been doing some lengthy research and some bipolar people cry while others do not, Crying likely serves several purposes. The first is crying as a distress signal hence why Blaine in this situation does cry... :’(  )

“Yes”

“Kiss me! God dammit K-Kurt k-kiss me”

Kurts eyes softened, he kneeled up to press his lips to Blaines, his lips salty from the now flowing tears.

“Im sorry Blaine.”

“W-why don’t you want t-to kiss me anymore”

“Shhh, I do, Come here...Let me kiss you”

Kurt felt Katie and Liam’s gaze on him but did not hesitate to pull Blaine to him, kissing him slowly as Blaine clung tighter to him.

“K-kiss me better K-Kurt”

Kurt felt tears of his own beginning to form.
Kurt rubbed up and down Blaine’s side, kissing him  softly, lips moving in synchronisation with Blaine’s.


“I love you so much Blaine, so much”

“T-Then why don’t you kiss me!” Blaine exploded, sobs tearing through his chest.

Kurt let his own tears fall.
“I am baby”

“I mean before you wouldn’t -you don’t...”

“Blaine! Look at me...look...Kiss me!”

Blaine moved forward to reconnect their lips, the kiss wet and salty but neither boy cared, Kurt was trying to get it across to Blaine he loved him.

Blaine’s tongue pushed through Kurt’s slightly parted lips, Kurt held him tighter pulling Blaine on top of him.


“See Baby” Kurt used his thumb to brush away a tear hanging from Blaine’s eyelash.

“I love you” Kurt repeated.

Blaine nodded slowly bottom lip trembling.
“W-why am I crying....Like a baby”

“Shhh, you’re not a baby...I was in the wrong, I am not ashamed of you...or ashamed of kissing you okay?”

“Okay” Blaine voice shook slightly. His hands wiping at his eyes.

Kurt held him for a good twenty minutes both Boys silent save for the few whispered ‘I love you’s ‘ .

Kurt eventually handing Blaine a bottle of water along with half of his medicine.



“Blaine?” Katie’s timid voice asked.

Blaine screwed the cap back on, wiping at his face before turning to face her.

“I-I’m sorry, you shouldn’t have had to see that I can explain ...I-I have bipolar disorder”

A look of realisation settled on her and Liam’s faces.

Katie nodded and shuffled over to give Blaine a one arm hug, he returned it gratefully smiling a little.

“Want to make a sandcastle now baby?”

Blaine shrugged. “Later...I just want to hug you for a while longer...is that okay?”

“More than okay” Kurt opened his arms for the older boy who smiled and crawled back over.

“Can we play angry birds on your phone?” Blaine whispered.

Kurt burst out laughing, pulling his phone from his shorts.

“Okay” The two lay on their stomachs one hand intertwined and heads bent over Kurt’s phone.

“No Kurt, If you double tap them they split into three”

“What? Why don’t people tell me these thing?”

“Well, you’re the one who skips the instructions” Blaine teased.



Kurt swatted his arm playfully.

“Are your parents going to phone? To check how you are?” Kurt brought up randomly.

“My mom will, Kurt you have to meet her! She will love you!” Blaine gushed.
“She’s actually abroad right now, she’s a model!”

Kurt’s mouth hung open.
“A model?”

“Yeah! And she loves fashion and you’ll get on so well!” Blaine said excitedly.

Kurt grinned.
“And your father?”

“Oh um...He and my mom aren’t together anymore, we don’t speak”

Kurt nodes understandingly.
They’d talked about Kurt’s family but never really about Blaine’s.

“and your brother...cooper?”

Blaine smiled.
“Cooper and I were pretty close; he helped me come out to my parents. My mom was fine with it, she said she thought as much since the time i commented on Johnny depp, anyway, my dad...he didn’t take it so well, my mom took my side...it seemed like they were just waiting for an excuse to divorce anyway...My parents they had an arranged marriage. I think they loved each other..But they weren’t ‘In love ‘you know?”

Kurt nodded.
“A-are you ‘In love’ with me?”
He asked quietly.


“Yes...are you ‘In love’ with me?”

“Yes” Both boys grinned, leaning in to kiss quickly.

“Sandcastles? Before we leave? After all we did collect all those shells.”

Blaine nodded happily, offering his hand to Kurt who took it gratefully.
They asked Liam and Katie if they wanted to Join in but the two had resumed to ‘sucking faces’ as Blaine so nicely put it.

Blaine and Kurt worked carefully, determined to build the best castle the world has even seen. Of course that would have worked if Kurt wasn’t so clumsy and knocked down the whole thing in his haste to fill his bucket with water.

 Blaine laughed as Kurt landed in his arms, Kurt blushed muttering a sorry to which Blaine replied with... “You will be”

He then picked Kurt up bridal style and started walking down the beach.
As they got closer and closer to the sea Kurt squirmed harder, giggling hard.

“P-Put me down! Right now!” By this point Blaine’s ankles were submerged in icy water.
He quickly checked Kurts pocket for his phone, remembering having left it by their bags before replying with a... “Okay”

 
He dropped Kurt into the cold sea, Kurt screaming as he hit the water, he appeared back at the surface completely drenched, he grabbed Blaine’s arm and with a sharp pull Blaine went toppling over too.

They boys were laughing loudly as the continued to splash about in the water.

“I hate you! It’s freezing!”
“You love me and you can Blame your clumsiness!”

Kurt splashed Blaine again turning around to try and paddle away.
Blaine caught Kurt around his waist, Kurt screamed through his giggles as Blaine turned him around to face him.

Blaine leaned in as if to Kiss Kurt, Kurt’s eyes fluttered shut as he smiled, Blaine’s lips skimming his...and the next minute he was once again deep in icy water.

He laughed as He came back up, diving onto Blaine and knocking him flat.


Blaine giggled, pulling Kurt close and circling his arms around the boys thin waist.

His curls dripped with water and a droplet made its way down his chest and those taunt muscles that Kurt loved so much.

“Hi” Kurt breathed.
“Hey yourself beautiful”

This time when Blaine lent him he knew it was for a kiss.
Although the moment was ruined when Kurt began to shiver.

Blaine pulled away and pulled Kurt back to the shore.
Leading him back to the spot he then proceeded to wrap Kurt in his own jacket.

Kurt smiled, snuggling into the soft material.
“You get cold so easily baby, you need to eat more. Actually you haven’t eaten anything today!”

Kurt bit his lip.
“Oopsie?”

Blaine kissed his nose before finding his wallet.
“well I’m hungry too!”

And with that Kurt watched as Blaine made his way over to the stand in the middle of the beach. The stand that was currently being circled by seagulls.

“So, Are you guys like boyfriend and Girlfriend now?”

“Yes” Liam answered, smiling happily.

“Aww” Katie Blushed, throwing a flip-flop at Kurt.

“Hey, no need!” He giggled.

“You have an abusive girlfriend Liam!”  Liam laughed bending his head to kiss her and- Okay look away Kurt, Kurt though averting his eyes.

Blaine came back holding four crates off chips, handing Katie and Liam one each, much to their shock.

“Eat up Baby!”

“Do you have any idea how much fat is in these chips?”

“Um...No?”

Kurt rolled his eyes but ate them anyway, realising how hungry he really was.

“you need to stop spending so much money Mr!” Kurt said after he’d finished.

Blaine shrugged.
“Um...without trying to sound snobby My mom is a model Kurt...I have money, it’s no problem I promise”

“You’re right that did sound snobby” Kurt smiled letting Blaine know he was teasing.

Blaine stuck out his tongue before turning his attention back on his chips.

“We better head back to the coach, Jake said four at the latest and its ten to four now”

Kurt groaned but nodded as the four collected their belongings, the sun was starting to set and the sky had gone a lovely orange.


Kurt quickly asked Liam to take a photo on Kurts phone of the two, Blaine’s eyes shone happily as he wrapped his arms around Kurt from behind, the sea and the setting sun behind them.

They both smiled and inside they both knew it was the happiest they’d been in a long time.

Kurt thanked Liam and they began their walk back to the coach.

“Hmm, I think a nice hot bath when we get home? And bed?” Blaine asked.

“W-What together?”

Kurt blushed as did Blaine.

“Well, that’s not what I was saying but if you wanted to I wouldn’t be opposed to the idea.”



“I-I think I’d like that but we don’t have to ...do ‘anything’ do we?” He blushed.

Blaine shook his head.
“No, it can be just a romantic bubble bath Kurt, if that’s what you want?”

Kurt smiled.
“I think I’d like that”....
