Tuesday morning
Kurt had just opened the front door when Blaine pulled into his driveway. Kurt called to Finn that he would see him at school before pulling the door shut and waving to his boyfriend as he started down the path.
“Hey you.” Kurt said as he opened the passenger door and climbed inside the station wagon.
“Good Morning.” Blaine replied leaning over for a kiss. Kurt smiled as he leaned in just that much more to meet Blaine’s lips with his own.
The kiss was gentle and a tad chaste, but both boys were smiling as they broke apart slightly. Blaine, still inches from Kurt’s face, hummed and said,
“You look great today. I love when you wear scarves.”
“Oh yeah, why’s that?” Kurt asked chuckling.
Blaine took hold of the fabulous blue scarf, which made his boyfriend’s eyes pop practically out of his head, and gently pulled to bring Kurt’s lips crashing back to his. The second kiss was fuller and deeper than the first…it also lasted quite a bit longer.
“Because when you do, I can do that.” Blaine explained as Kurt laughed softly against his love’s lips and playfully pushed Blaine’s hands off of his brand new scarf.
“Plus, you look amazing in them.” Blaine tilted his head and gave Kurt one more peck against his smiling lips before sitting back in his seat.
“Thank you.” Kurt said leaning his head back and smiling.
“You are very welcome.” Blaine replied shifting the car into reverse,
“Ready?” he asked.
Kurt nodded as Blaine backed out of the driveway and headed toward the school.
After a few minutes, Kurt pulled his Spanish book from his bag to look over his notes.
“Remind me again, why I decided to switch to Spanish after three years of French?” Kurt asked with disgust in his voice as he pulled out pages of translations to read over before his exam that morning.
“Because you decided that two foreign languages looked better on your transcript.” Blaine answered as he pulled to a stoplight. “And if you aren’t giving something 110%, than you aren’t doing it.”
Kurt gave him one of his patented grins as a thank you before continuing.
“Well I was up so late studying. Do you think we have time to grab a quick coffee before school?” Kurt asked as the light turned green.
Cautious driver that he is, Blaine still looked both ways before making his turn and answering,
“For you, my love, we always have time for coffee.”
Kurt smiled as he took Blaine’s hand to intertwine their fingers.
“You are being devilishly charming this morning.” He said as Blaine looked over at him and smiled. “I love it.” Kurt smiled as Blaine lifted their tangled hands to his lips to kiss Kurt’s knuckles.
“Well, I love you.” Blaine replied as he held their hands to his heart for a moment before gently laying them back down on the console.
Kurt swallowed the lump that still tended to form in his throat when Blaine said those words to him and barley managed to squeeze out “I love you too.”
Blaine flashed him another grin before Kurt began jabbering on about exams and Finn’s desperately hopeless attempts at ever getting out the door on time in the morning. Blaine listened quietly, nodding and chuckling softly when Kurt imitated Finn’s hurried plea’s for Kurt to not to tell Rachel how late he always, almost was.
As they pulled into the parking lot of the Lima Bean, Blaine broke their hands apart so he could reach behind the seat to grab his wallet out of his bag. When Kurt made to unbuckle his seatbelt, Blaine put his hand on Kurt’s shoulder to stop him.
“Hey, stay in the car and look over your notes a bit more. I’ll get your coffee for you.”
“Are you sure?” Kurt asked sitting back a little.
“Positive.” Blaine assured and laid a gentle kiss under Kurt’s eye before opening his door. “Be right back.” He said pushing the door closed and heading inside.
Kurt looked down at his notes for a moment, but his gaze traveled up and through the coffee shops windows. He watched his boyfriend wait in line, order their coffee’s then shift to the side to wait for his name to be called.
A soft smile played on Kurt’s lips as his eyes traveled down and back up Blaine’s body.
“Over a year later, and you can still take my breath away Anderson.” Kurt said softly to himself. Kurt smiled again as he watched the barista place two cups on the counter. After a few seconds Blaine started, oblivious to the barista calling his name. Kurt frowned as he stared at Blaine’s face.
Kurt watched as Blaine added cinnamon to his medium drip and gather both cups in his hands…all the while the same distracted look on his face.
As Blaine walked back toward the car, Kurt leaned over and opened the driver side door.
“One nonfat mocha.” Blaine said handing Kurt his cup and settling down behind the wheel before taking a sip from his own.
“Thank you.” Kurt replied fiddling with his lid before taking a deep breath and asking,
“Are you okay? You seem really quiet.”
Blaine looked taken aback…like he didn’t realize he had barley spoken since picking Kurt up.
“Oh no Kurt, I’m fine…just tired I guess. I was up late studying for that stupid Calculus exam I have tomorrow.” Flashing a warm smile made Kurt feel a bit better as he added,
“Honestly,” he gestured to his coffee “this will help immensely.
“Promise?” Kurt asked placing his hand gently on Blaine’s inner thigh.
Blaine smiled and leaned in for another kiss.
“I’m okay, I promise.” Blaine whispered against Kurt’s lips.
The rest of the short drive to school was quiet, but not uncomfortable. Kurt kept his hand on Blaine’s thigh as Blaine drove and sipped his coffee.
After parking, Blaine walked around the side of his Volvo slinging his bag over his shoulder and smiled as he took Kurt’s outstretched hand. The boys let their hands casually swing between them as they walked up to the building.
“I have to meet Artie in the library before class.” Blaine pulled on Kurt’s hand to bring him closer.
“Okay, see you in third period.” Kurt smiled.
Blaine did the quick check around before laying a quick peck on Kurt’s lips.
“Good luck in Spanish.” Blaine said as he pulled back and ran his hand down Kurt’s arm.
“Gracias.” Kurt waved as Blaine walked away laughing.
It was good to hear that laugh and it put a grin on Kurt’s face as he glided to his locker before the bell rang.

Blaine was up and halfway to Kurt before the last notes of “I’ll Remember” had faded away. He held his crying boyfriend to his chest for a few moments before letting go so everyone else could hug and thank him for his beautiful song.
After about ten minutes, the bell rang signaling everyone to start packing up. Blaine stood by the door with both his, and Kurt’s bags. He said a quick good bye to Mike and Tina while he waited for Kurt to finish talking to Rachel.
Rachel seemed to be in the middle of something but, as Kurt caught Blaine’s eye, he cut her off with a hug goodbye before walking over to his boyfriend and taking his bag.
The boys put their arms about each other as they walked through the deserted halls, heading out to the parking lot and Blaine’s car. Once they
were settled, Blaine eased out of the parking lot and headed to Burt’s Garage.
“Do you want me to pick you up later tonight?” Blaine asked turning the radio down a bit.
“No, I’ll catch a ride home with Finn or dad.” Kurt answered laying his hand back on Blaine’s upper thigh, more out of habit than anything else now.
“You have your calculus to study for and, after that ‘Single Ladies’ performance, I think my dad deserves some quality Father/Son time.” Kurt said cracking up again at the memory of his dad dancing on that stage from earlier in the day.
Blaine chuckled as he pulled into the garage parking lot, “I would have to agree, I wish I could have seen it.”
“It was definitely something to see.” Kurt said as he unbuckled his seatbelt and leaned over. Kurt cupped Blaine’s cheek and smiled as their lips met.
Blaine let an “Mmmm” sound escape as he pulled Kurt’s lower lip into his mouth to suck and nibble on gently.
Blaine brought his hand up and spread his fingers across Kurt’s neck, rolling his thumb over his chin as Kurt’s tongue slipped gently over his teeth and into his mouth. Blaine felt his boyfriend’s chest hitch, just a bit, as their tongues danced against each other. Blaine smiled, knowing he could still cause this reaction out of the man he loved. The two reluctantly broke the kiss, but stayed close leaning their foreheads against one another.
“Call me later?” Blaine asked and Kurt nodded before adding,
“Always.”
Their two sets of lips met one more but before it could get to deep, Kurt groaned and pulled away slightly saying,
“I have to go…if we keep this up…and I can’t go in there with a…” He blushed as Blaine began to laugh.
“I love you so much.” Blaine said as he kissed Kurt one more time and smiled. Kurt rolled his eyes but quickly added,
“I love you too.”
Kurt took a deep breath as he made to get out of the car. He smiled at his boyfriend and said “Bye baby.” before closing the door. Blaine blew him a kiss and waved to Burt who had walked out to meet Kurt.
Burt waved back as Blaine pulled away and Kurt walked up to him.
“Jeez Kurt, took you long enough.” Burt chastised as Kurt turned a deeper shade of red and mumbled,
“Sorry dad, we were just…talking.”
“Yeah sure, talking.” Burt smiled “I was young once too bud.”
Kurt gave his dad a sideways grin as he headed in the garage to change into his coveralls.
“Hey Kurt,” Burt called and Kurt turned around. “Just remember, ‘if he likes it, then he better put a ring on it!’”
“DAD!” Kurt yelled as he cracked up and left his father stumbling though the dance moves in front of God and everyone.
