Tuesday, August 28

After their exuberant reunion outside Blaine's house, the boys forced themselves to tone things down for the rest of the evening, since Blaine's parents were both home.  Pam and Charles welcomed Kurt with open arms, and Kurt was surprised at how pleased he was to see them again.

When it came time for bed, Kurt retired to the guest room and waited for Blaine to sneak down to join him.  Once Blaine had tiptoed into the room and eased the door closed, Kurt grabbed him and flung him down on the bed.  Blaine landed with a surprised “oomph” and Kurt pounced on him, kissing him wildly.  

Blaine made a low, desperate noise in the back of his throat, and Kurt pulled away slightly.  “Shh.  I don't want to get caught.”

“My parents' bedroom is way at the other side of the house, remember?  They're not going to hear us.”

“Honey, I don't think you realize how loud you get.”

“Well whose fault is that?”

Kurt smiled at him.  “Hey, I'm not complaining.  I love the sounds you make.  I'd just rather hear them at a time when I'm not worried about your parents bursting in here and kicking me out on the street.”

“You know my parents love you.”

“Yeah, maybe, but they're conservative.  They believe in that whole ‘wait until you're married' thing.  Which, unless things change here, may be never.”

Blaine looked at him, suddenly serious.  “Have you thought about that?  About us getting married someday?”

Kurt felt flustered.  “Umm…  I know we've only been together as boyfriends for a couple of months, and we're only 18, and – ”

Blaine cut him off with a kiss.  “I've thought about it, too, you know.  As something in the future…  And I know we're young, and in some ways we've only been together for a couple of months, but in other ways we've been together for ten years.  So whatever happens with the laws, or whether we ever decide to make it official, I know I want to be with you.”

Kurt let out a breath he hadn't realized he'd been holding, moving forward to capture Blaine's lips in a kiss.  “I love you.”

“I love you, too.”

The boys awoke early on Wednesday morning.  Kurt quickly silenced his alarm, which he'd set to go off in plenty of time for Blaine to sneak back to his own room before anyone else got up.  After a delicious breakfast, prepared by Pam, the boys bid farewell to Blaine's parents and hopped in the shuttle to the airport.  

“Are you ready to do this?” Blaine asked.

“So ready.”

Walking from the subway stop to their new Bushwick loft, suitcases in tow, Kurt and Blaine looked around in wonder.  They were really here, in New York.  Together.  

“Oh my god!” Blaine cried suddenly, clutching Kurt's arm.  “Look at that van!  Does that bumper sticker say ‘AndersonHummelKlainePuppy'?”

Kurt stared at the van that was stopped at a traffic light ahead of them.  It was completely covered in bumper stickers.  Hurrying toward the bizarre vehicle, he saw, in addition to the bumper sticker Blaine had already mentioned:

“Oh my god,” Kurt breathed.  “This is so freaky.  I feel like we're in an episode of The Twilight Zone.  Do some of those bumper stickers have our names combined on them?”

“Yeah.”

“But what does it mean?”

“I guess it means the universe wants us to be together.”

“Or we've got some kind of crazed stalkers, and they're following us in the world's worst attempt at a stealth-van.”

Blaine grinned at him.  “I like my theory better.”

“Oh, so do I.  I just think it's less likely, is all.”

At that moment the light changed, and the van pulled away.  Kurt watched, bemusedly, as it disappeared down the street.

“Did that just happen?”

“I think so.”

“Weird.”

“Yep.  And totally awesome.”
