Im sorry I didnt put this chapter out yesterday; Im at my cabin and we have some seriously annoying internet problems here.
But here it is. The last chapter before the epilogue.
The Warblers was going to end the vacation with a bang. Not really anything that big, just a get-together on their last evening there, with some drinks that Flint and Andrews would obtain. That was their plan anyway as they sat in their room after karaoke-night. That was also when Nick came up with the idea to invite some of the New Direction people.
So thats why Kurt stood outside the boys room at one oclock, hoping that someone would let him in soon and really regretting giving his key to Santana. She wanted to take blackmail photos of the guys and since he didnt sleep there anymore he didnt really mind. In addition shed promised to show him the pictures, so he was all for it. Well, karmas a bitch. He knocked again and finally heard movement from inside. The door opened a little later, a confused Noah in the doorway. "Kurt, what are you? Wait, did something happen? Did someone hurt you? Are you okay?"
"Relax Noah, nothing happened. Im just here with an invitation."
"To what?"
"Last-day party. The Warblers are having a little party, but not really a party-thing tomorrow night and they want you to come."
"Huh?"
"Just read this, it explains everything." Kurt gave him the four invitations theyd made with a smile. "Theres one for you, one for Finn, one for Sam and one for Tana, so if you could just give them one each."
"Sure. But Santanas not here."
"Just give it to her when you see her."
"Okay."
"Great, thanks. Im going to bed now. Goodnight Noah."
"Goodnight Princess. Have fun with your dapper boy." Kurt just shook his head and walked back as fast as he could, he was really tired and just wanted to sleep. Luckily there was a warm bed with a cute guy waiting for him, and since hed already done his moisturizing-routine that evening he only had to change his clothes before he climbed in. Blaine waited for him with open arms and he crept happily into his embrace.
"Goodnight Sweetheart, sleep tight," Blaine murmured.
"And dont let the bed bugs bite," he whispered back, nuzzling into his chest, feeling warm, comfortable and wanted as he went to sleep.

How two underage high school boys managed to get enough alcohol on a boat to get twenty people wasted was beyond Kurts comprehension, but Flint and Andrew had their ways. Not that Kurt knew how much you needed to get twenty people drunk, but they brought a lot. He tried to find out how they got it all, but they just winked at him and said they had their "Warbler ways." Finally he gave up and went to change instead.
It was his last night with these guys, with Blaine, so he had to look his absolute best. He put on his skinniest pair of jeans, a red shirt and black tie. He used unusually long time on his hair and barely got ready before Noah, Finn, Sam, Santana and Brittany arrived. Some of the Warblers were surprised to see Brittany there, Kurt wasnt. Of course Santana would bring her, she wouldnt go to a party without her girl to make out with. They were pleasantly surprised by the drinks and grabbed one each before Santana and Brittany came over to Kurt. Brittany gave him a hug and kissed his cheek while Santana took in his appearance. "Looking good Hummel. I wont even ask how you got into those pants, but they show off all you have."
"Its obviously magic," Brittany chipped in.
"You know what Brit, I think youre right. But back to the important questions. Is there a reason youre so dressed up tonight?"
"Cant I look nice without a reason?" He asked, meeting her eyes.
"Of course you can look nice just for the fun of it. But you went for the sexy-look tonight Lady, and you dont do that without a reason. Or should we say a certain hazel-eyed boy?" Kurt flushed and looked away. Was he really that obvious or was this just Santana being Santana?
"Im sure hell like you, dolphins are attracted to strong colours you know."
"Sure."
"They are, thats probably why hes coming over here now." Kurt starred at her in surprise before he turned around, and sure enough, Blaine walked towards them with a smile.
"Whats up dapper boy?" Santana asked as he stopped in front of them.
"Were going to play spin the bottle, well the Warbler version. Will you beautiful people join us?"
"Sure," Santana answered from all of them "just let me get another drink and Im all about that." She went off with Brittany and Kurt followed Blaine over to the circle of boys in the middle of the room. They sat down next to each other on a pair of pillows and waited for the rest to sit down. A couple of minutes later they were all in place and Wes stood up, bottle in hand.
"For those of you that are new to this, our version of this games a little different. We figured that just kissing is boring, so the person the bottle lands on has to do whatever the one spinning in tells them to, within certain boundaries of course." He smiled at them before he sat down and spun the bottle. It stopped at Ethan and Wes though for a moment he smiled.
"You have to make out with the best looking guy in the room."
Ethan got up and walked over to the James-twins, who both looked at him, Cameron with puppy dog eyes and Richard with a sexy grin, licking his lips.
"I really cant choose," Ethan explained and Richard groaned. "Just kiss both of us then kitten. If thats okay with holy master Wes."
"Sure, if thats what you want."
"See, its not so hard kitten. Now come here and kiss us, do puppy eyes first." So Ethan sat down in front of Cameron and leaned towards him in a sweet kiss that quickly turned needy. They angled their heads, kissing deeper and touched each other everywhere. They kept this up until Richard grabbed hold of Ethans hair and dragged him away from Cameron. A second later he crashed his lips to Ethans and the whole procedure started anew. The kiss was very different though. It was needy from the start, and where Cameron and Ethan fought for dominance, Richard took full control. He finally let go of the younger boy, who pulled away, breathing heavy. "Till next time Mr. Moore."
"Yeah," Ethan looked a little dazed, but shook it off and turned to the bottle. They played for several rounds: which resulted in Andrew having to take of his shirt, Noah and Flint downing beers as fast as they could and Brittany giving David a lap dance. When she spun the bottle it landed on Kurt and Santana looked at him with an evil grin and leaned over to whisper in Brittanys ear. She brightened up and got to her feet, walking over to Kurt.
"Come Kurtie, well do our single ladies dance."
He looked mortified at her, but didnt really have a choice, at least she would do it with him. He stood up and he and Brittany started dancing in the middle of the circle when Santana put on the song. They did their routine to perfection, of course, and left the Warblers gaping. They smiled at each other when the song finished and bumped hips before Brittany sat down next to Santana, giving her a kiss. Kurt spun the bottle, told Thad to make out with Andrew and sat down next to Blaine.
"Well that was certainly a side of you that I havent seen before."
"Yeah?" Kurt bit his lip nervously. Was that a good thing or a bad thing?
"I like it. You should dance like that more often. Preferably in those jeans." Kurt blushed and looked down, that was flirting wasnt it? Blaine liking his skin-tight jeans fell into the more than friends category, right?
"Blainers, I want you to make out with Jeff," Thads voice interrupted. Blaine got up and walked over to Jeff. "Sorry Nick," he said before he captured Jeffs lips with his own. Jeff put his arms around his neck, pulling Blaine closer and deepening the kiss. That was all Kurt managed to watch and he looked away, meeting Nicks eyes. Nick looked really jealous, kind of possessive and like he wanted to hit something. Maybe Blaine, possibly Thad. Kurt kind of felt like that too, but Nick had an excuse, though he hadnt really pinned him as the jealous type. Was it because it was Blaine then? Was there something between them that made Nick more jealous than he would have been if it had been Jeff and anyone else? His stomach clenched and he bit down at his lip as Blaine pulled away, smiling. He walked back towards Kurt, and Nick took his place at once, kissing Jeff hard. Some of the guys laughed, Blaine one of them as he sat down next to Kurt. Kurt really wanted to follow Nicks example and kiss Jeff away from Blaines lips. But he couldnt do that. They were only friends, so if Blaine kissed other people by will or not he didnt have anything to say about it.
The game continued. Sam did a strip tease, ending up in only his boxers. Was had to sit on Davids lap for the rest of the game. Richard and Blaine shed their shirts as well and Nick gave Jeff a handjob in the bathroom. Nick spun the bottle and it stopped at Kurt.
"Well," Nick said with a smile "I think its time for you to take of your shirt as well Kurtie."
"I-I." He couldnt do that. If he did they would see. He couldnt let them know. They didnt know what hed been through and they couldnt ever realize.
"Come on Kurt, its just a shirt, no biggie," Andrew said, eyeing him.
"No, I-I, I cant." He looked around for help, finally meeting Noahs eyes. And Noah knew, and he understood.
"Guys, theres a reason Kurt doesnt want to take it off, and its a good one. So Ill take mine off instead, okay?" Nick nodded and Noah pulled off his tee. Kurt relaxed and gave him a thankful smile. Hed saved him once again and he wouldnt have to explain all his injuries.
"You okay?" Blaine looked at him, worry in his yes.
"Yeah, its nothing really."
"Its obviously something, but you dont have to talk about it." Blaine laid an arm around him and pulled him close. Kurt smiled and leaned into his embrace as Noah spun the bottle. He told Sam to run out on deck, find the rest of the New Directions and take a picture as proof. He was gone for a while, but finally came back, throwing his phone at Noah. He grinned and showed everyone a picture of Sam, Mike, Artie, Tina and Rachel before he threw it back at the blond guy.
The game went on; Brittany had to act like a cat and snuggled up against Santana, purring all the while. Santana laughed and ran a hand through her hair, giving her a sweet kiss. Thad was up next and had to strip Ethan down to his boxers in front of the twins. That was, of course, highly appreciated, especially by Richard who wasnt content with just watching, but reached out to touch. Ethan pushed him playfully away, but couldnt hide his pleased smile. Richard winked at him and sat down next to his brother as Thad spun the bottle. It stopped, pointing between the twins, and Thad grinned at them. "Guess you both have to do something then."
"Fair enough," Richard said and Cameron nodded.
"Then you have to undress each other in front of Ethan." The twins grinned at each other before they did as they were told, giving Ethan sexy smirks all the while. Ethan watched them with a dazed expression, swallowing hard as they sat down on either side of him, only in their boxers. Richard put an arm around Ethan as Cameron leaned forwards and spun the bottle. It stopped at Santana and the twins observed her for a moment.
"I think its time for another lap dance," Richard decided.
"Yes, and since David already got one, I think its time for the boy in his lap to get one."
"Absolutely, a lap-dance for our darling Wes it its." They looked expectedly at Santana who walked over to Wes and David and began dancing. She was good, even Kurt had to admit that she was sexy. Not that he would ever swing that way, but she was extremely talented. Wes and David seemed to think so as well and couldnt tear their eyes away from her. Wes moved uncomfortably on Davids laps when she was done and walked back to Brittany.
"That better be your phone David."
"Sorry Wes," David looked embarrassed and Wes groaned.
"You still have to sit there," Sam said with a grin.
"You cant be serious," Wes starred angrily at him, but Sam just smiled. "Rules are rules." Wes groaned, but stayed put and Santana spun the bottle. It landed on Kurt or was it Blaine? They sat so close that it was really hard to tell.
"Perfect," Santana said "as it obviously is pointing at both of you, you have to kiss each other. And before you try to get away with a cute little child kiss, I want some serious, passionate boy on boy action."
Kurt swallowed and looked over at Blaine who repositioned himself so they sat face to face. He really wanted to kiss him. But he couldnt just do that, could he? He hadnt actually kissed a boy before, not by choice anyway. And he didnt really want to lose his first kiss like this, he really wanted to give it to Blaine though. However, Blaine probably didnt like him like that and even though it was part of a game it might make things awkward between them. He didnt want to just throw himself at Blaine, what if he didnt like it? What if he pulled away?
His stream of thoughts was interrupted by a pair of soft lips on his. They were careful at first, questioning. Kurt froze for a moment before he kissed him back, putting his arms around Blaines neck. Blaine hummed happily and tilted his head, deepening the kiss. His movements were sure now and a bit commanding. He circled Kurts waist with one arm, pulling him closer and rested the other behind his neck, angling his head even better. His lips were soft, warm and just perfect. All Kurts doubts and insecurities disappeared. Blaines actions, his movements, the way his hands stroke up and down Kurts back, it made everything feel right. He whimpered as Blaine pulled away, not wanting to let go just yet. Blaine smiled at him and he stared into his hazel eyes, returning the smile. I really want to do that again. Blaines smile widened "do you now?" Oh shit.
"Did I say that out loud?"
"Jup," Blaine grinned and Santana and Nick laughed.
"Im sorry, I didnt mean. Well, I meant, but just..." God, hed ruined things now. Blaine would think he was weird and things would be awkward and everything would just be wrong.
"Relax Kurt, I really dont mind."
"Wha-?" He stared at Blaine who smiled at him before he leaned forwards and pressed their lips together once more. Kurt was taken aback, but kissed him eagerly. It was too good to be true, but Blaines hands, his lips, the tongue that trailed his lower lip, it certainly wasnt a dream. Kurt opened his mouth and Blaines tongue tangled with his own. They fought for dominance for a moment before Kurt had to give up, Blaine was just too good. They explored each other for a while longer before they pulled away, breathing hard.
"That was," Kurt began.
"Amazing," Blaine smiled.
"Perfect," Kurt sighed happily.
"I should have asked you to give me some boy on boy action earlier, you put on quite a show," Santana said and Kurt rolled his eyes. Blaine winked at him before he turned to spin the bottle, told Wes to go and help David with his situation and sat back, pulling Kurt into his arms.
"Im going to kiss you again tonight," Blaine whispered in his ear. "And again tomorrow and every day I spend with you until you tell me to stop. Ill hug you and kiss you wherever and whenever you want." Kurt let out a small breath and leaned again him.
"Ill hold you to that Blaine Warbler." Blaine laughed and pulled him even closer, kissing his neck. They stayed like that for the rest of the game, happy with the newfound intimacy of their relationship.

Kurt got a phone call while he was in the bathroom that evening. Hed just finished his moisturizing routine, Noah and the others had returned to their rooms and most of the Warblers had gone to bed. Blaine waited for him though, reading a book in bed. He was about to go out and join him, but then he got that phone call. Normally he wouldnt have picked it up, but he just figured it was his dad or something and didnt look at the caller ID. That was a big mistake, ‘cause it wasnt his dad. It was the bad kind of phone call; the kind that brought him right back to the halls of McKinley. The kind that took away all the confidence and happiness hed built over the last couple of days. The kind that reminded him that he was a stupid faggot who didnt deserve anything else than high school bullies.
He should have hung up when he heard Azimos voice, but he wasnt able to. So he stood there, listening to him until his knees gave under and he fell to the floor. Even then he didnt manage to hang up, he just listened until Azimo did it himself. Then he let his phone fall to the ground and curled into a ball. He was just stupid and annoying, he didnt deserve friends like Nick, Jeff and Wes and he certainly didnt deserve Blaine. He was ugly and broken and should just stay away from them. They were better off without him. Hed leave them alone once they returned to Ohio, it was the only way. He hid his face in his hands and didnt realize that he cried until they became wet with tears. That was when he noticed his loud sobs. He tried to quiet down, but didnt manage. The door suddenly opened and Blaine stood in the doorway.
"Kurt, you okay? Kurt. Hey, what happened?" He closed the door behind him and walked over to Kurt. "Hey, whats wrong?" He reached out a hand, but Kurt winced and pulled away. "Baby, whats wrong?" Kurt shook his head, refusing to meet his eyes. "I dont deserve you."
"Hey now, what would make you say that?"
"Because Im stupid and ugly and broken and youre perfect and deserve someone amazing, not a loser like me."
"Kurt. What in the world would make you think that? Youre beautiful and clever and funny and amazing and Id be lucky to have you."
"No you wouldnt. Im just a ruined shell and you should just leave me."
"Kurt youre not-"
"Yes I am! Im ruined." He jumped to his feet.
"Kurt," Blaine got up as well and looked concerned at him.
"Im broken Blaine. Ill show you just how broken I am." He tore off his tee and turned around, letting Blaine see his bare back. "Im broken and you shouldnt have to put up with that."
"I dont care about that Kurt. People have hurt you, but its not your fault, it doesnt make you stupid or ugly and it doesnt change the way I feel about you. Youre hurt and I want to make the pain go away, but it doesnt make you broken." Blaine stepped closer and put his arms around his waist. "When I first met you I told you to give me time to get to know you and Id still call you cool. I still think youre cool Kurt, but youre so much more than that. Youre amazing, youre the most interesting person Ive ever met, youre funny and witty. Youre not perfect, ‘cause nobodys perfect. But youre perfectly imperfect Kurt. And youre incredibly beautiful." He kissed his shoulders, first his left, then his right, on top of the largest scar. "And I really really like you."
Kurt finally relaxed and melted into his embrace. "What did I ever do to deserve you?"
"Youve just been yourself. Thats all I need you to be, all I want you to be." They stayed like that for a while before Kurt turned around, burying his head in Blaines chest. Blaine kissed his forehead and held him close. "What brought this on Kurt? What happened?"
"Phone call. From Azimo. He just made everything came back. I wasnt ready for it, didnt have time to prepare."
"Kurt. Listen. Firstly you shouldnt have to prepare for those kinds of things, its not right. And Ill do what I can to make that stop. Secondly, you shouldnt listen to him, to any of them. Their opinions doesnt matter. I know its hard, but remember that the only opinions you should listen to are the once from the people who cares about you. And we dont want you to change. So when you start to listen to the bullies, remember that I care about you, that I like you just the way you are, that youre perfect to me and draw strength from that."
"Thank you."
"Dont thank me Kurt. Im just happy I met you, happy to be here." Kurt hugged him even closer, hiding his blushing face. How could anyone be so perfect? Blaine knew exactly what to say at all times. How was that even possible? Hed never met anyone who did that to him.
"Ready to go to bed?" Blaine asked tentatively.
"Yeah," Kurt pulled away and put his tee back on before he followed Blaine to their bed. He cuddled up close, resting his head on Blaines chest.
"Think youll be able to sleep now?"
"Yeah, just hold me?"
"Always," Blaine laid his arms around him, pulling him even closer. "Look at me angel." Kurt raised his head from his chest and gave him a questioning look. Blaine smiled at him and captured his lips in a sweet kiss. Kurt smiled and laid his head back on his chest. "Goodnight Kurt, sleep tight."
"And dont let the bed bugs bite. Goodnight Blaine." He slowly drifted off to sleep, happy and safe in his boyfriends arms.
