The Truth Always Comes Out

               Chapter 22:  Making Decisions

Blaine has been recuperating for a few days now, sleeping in, taking naps, and letting Kurt fuss over him. But he is sick of looking at the same walls. Kurt has gone back to work so he decides he will take lunch to Kurt. A thank you for all he has done for him. Even better he decides, they will have a picnic and eat at the park. Blaine calls Kurt to make sure he would be in his office during lunch. He makes lunch and packs it in a basket along with some ice tea. He decides he will stop at a florist and get a bouquet of flowers. Blaine grabs his phone, keys, and the picnic basket and heads to Vogue.com to have lunch with his fiancé happy with himself.

Blaine arrives at Vogue.com and asks where Kurt Hummel's office is located. As he walks towards Kurt's office he feels eyes watching him. “Who is the lucky person that he's looking for?” the employees whisper. Soon he stops in front of Kurt's door and knocks. “Come in,” Kurt says. Blaine opens the door and Kurt rushes to him and gives him a kiss. A large group of people are standing outside Kurt's office watching as Blaine gives Kurt the beautiful bouquet of flowers. “Awwwh,” is heard coming from the group outside. Kurt goes to the door and asks, “Don't you have some work to do?” He starts to close the door, but before he does he says with a big smile on his face, “He's mine,” and shuts the door. “Lucky guy,” the group of workers says with envy. “You have everyone out there wishing they were me,” a thrilled Kurt said. “I thought we could go to the park across the street and have a little picnic.” Blaine informed Kurt. “That's a lovely idea Blaine. What's in the basket?”  Kurt asks. “A surprise, but you will have to wait until our picnic starts to see.” Blaine says as he toys with Kurt. “Let me put these wonderful flowers in some water and then we can go.” Kurt says as he rushes to get a vase and some water. Ready to go the boys walk out of the building, with hands entwined and envied by all as they head towards the park for their picnic lunch.

They spread out the red blanket and sit down smiling at each other. Blaine opens the basket and removes 2 glasses and a container of ice tea. Followed by 2 plates, silverware, a plate filled with different cheeses and crackers, a bowl filled with grapes and strawberries, vase with red and yellow rose. Finally he takes out 2 mysterious containers. What do we have in the containers? Kurt asks. “One container is filled with whip cream and the other container is filled with chocolate sauce.” Blaine says as he uncovers the containers.  “Blaine!” Kurt shrieks. “We are outside in public.” “It's for the fruit Kurt. Get you head out of the gutter.” Blaine laughs with a sheepish look, though both boys remember using them for something else. They start eating and Kurt asks, “How are you feeling today? “I'm a little tired after the walk to your office, but I love this, being here with you, enjoying this time together is well worth being tired. Kurt I want to tell you about a decision I have made. I am going to go to the hospital to see Joey. I need to make sure he is alright. I don't want him to be alone or thinking that I hate him. “What if you happen to see Jack Hill? Kurt asks concerned. I will just ignore him. I am not going to let him push my buttons. I have realized that my life is too short to let a jerk like Jack Hill have any of my attention.” Blaine answers. “Wow, I like that attitude. Do you want me to come with you?” Kurt asks. “No, I need to do this by myself.” Blaine answers. “Can I ask you what caused you to change your mind?” Kurt inquired. “A nurse talked to me the other day about Joey and second chances. So these last few days have given me an opportunity to stop and think about things, to really deal with some issues, one being Joey. I learned I have to stand up on my own two feet and deal with issues before I let them get out of control and control me. I decided to take control of my life. I have always made decisions based on what is best for other people without taking my needs into consideration. I realized that approach hasn't gotten me anywhere. So know when I make decisions I am going to think about what is best for me, for us first and others second. I am hoping this makes my life not so hard.” Blaine said as he felt the weight on his shoulders lighten. “I am very proud of you Blaine. I agree with everything you just said and will support your decisions.” Kurt replied as he leaned forward and kissed Blaine on his lips. “I can't believe it's time to go back to work. This has been so lovely.” Kurt says. “We will do this again, soon.” Blaine says as they pack up their picnic supplies and put them into the picnic basket. “Blaine, don't through the cool whip and chocolate sauce away. I will be needing them tonight I believe.” Kurt says with a wink.
