Hi guys, sorry it has been so long. Ive been busy with my endwork through the past weeks. Im in my last year of college, Yes I am very happy :), and we have this project to work on in team and guess what, most of them dont work. Anyway, Ive tried to save a lot of the work weve done and Ive been dead tired for the past few weeks.
It was tonight that I told myself to get behind my laptop and write a new chapter for you guys because I felt like I had been abandoning you and my other stories as well! Dont be surprised though if I update later than usual, I promise you Ill keep updating until the story is finished. Pinky promise!
As for that, Im so happy to share this with you guys. Ive been writing at this for 3 hours now and I feel like its ready to be online. I hope you like it just as much. I love happy and cheesy Blaine & Kurt. They are just perfect for each other, arent they? Let me know what you think! Lots of love xoxo and see you next chapter!
The room was fully packed with people. Kurt didn't even know how so many people had been able to fill their room.
Ok, their room was quite big, but was it seriously that big?
Kurt let out a heavy sigh as he took his red cup with some beer in it and stood up from the couch he had accompanied a while ago.
The room suddenly felt too big. Like there was no air enough for everyone to breath.
He made his way through the bodies until he found the door towards his and Blaine's room.
A step was taken inside before he closed the door and let himself slide down against it.
He put his head between his legs, trying to get his breathing back under control as he took in the silence of the room.
A hand on his shoulder put him out of his thoughts. He may have jumped a little and a little embarrassing squeal.
That was until his eyes met Blaine's. Blaine was kneeling in front of him and looking at him with confusion and worry in his eyes.
“You ok?” he asked as he let his hands rub over his arms.
Kurt nodded, “Yeah. How did Jeff and Nick manage to get all those people in the room?”
Blaine let out a chuckle. “Don't ask me,” he shrugged.
Kurt let his head fall back against the door, “so you are hiding for the mass out there too?”
Blaine nodded, “yeah. Don't get me wrong, I'm so happy that we got through and I want to celebrate. But maybe with less people.”
Kurt let out a sigh, “I agree. Maybe we can celebrate together? Without all those people?”
Blaine chuckled, “you mean a best friend party?”
Kurt let out a giggle, “when you say it like that it sounds stupid. Now I don't even want a best friend party anymore.”
Blaine pouted adorable before the worry shimmered back through his eyes. “You sure you are ok, right?”
Kurt nodded and started making movement to stand up again. Blaine was faster though and held out his hand for Kurt to take.
Once Kurt was back on his feet, he didn't let go off his hand. He just kept holding on until he let himself fall down on his bed, pulling Kurt with him.
Kurt slapped his chest playfully from where he had buried his face into it. “Warn a man,” he said muffled through the shirt.
Blaine didn't seem to mind and wrapped his arms around him. They lay like that for a while, in silence with in the background the noise of the partying people.
“You know you weren't really the last to go through, do you Kurt,” asked Blaine after a while.
Kurt let out a soft sigh, “You don't know that Blaine. It could have been.”
He felt Blaine's hand rub over his back in a calming manner. “There you say it. It could but I know it isn't. You were amazing out there Kurt. There is no way you don't have the whole of America already at your feet.”
Kurt let out a chuckle, “Is it bad that I only want one person at my feet?”
As the words escaped his lips, a blush formed on his cheeks. He buried them even more against Blaine's chest, not daring to look up.
The hand that had been rubbing his back moved up until it was going through his hair, “I hope he's worth it.”
Kurt stayed quiet for a moment, just enjoying the feeling of being close to someone. “Very much.”
Blaine hummed appreciatively.
Kurt liked these moments where no words needed to be spoken. He let himself slowly fall into the feeling until his eyes grew heavy.
He didn't know when he did fall asleep, all he remembered when he woke up was how perfectly happy he was in that moment.
Kurt buried his face closer into the soft fabric under his cheek.
A hand started going through his hair once again, which made alarm bells go off in Kurt's head.
He shot up immediately, his eyes wide and bewildered as he looked around the room.
Blaine looked confused for a moment before he slowly stretched out his hand and placed it on Kurt's arm. “Hey it's ok. You just fell asleep last night.”
Kurt nodded his head and let himself fall down again, this time with his face on Blaine's pillow.
Blaine turned himself so he was laying as well on his side, looking at Kurt. “Good morning,” he grinned.
Kurt shook his head, “ good morning. I hope I wasn't much of a burden last night for you to fall asleep.”
Blaine let out a loud laugh, “no you weren't. It was actually one of my best nights of sleep here yet. I have trouble sleeping at different locations.”
Kurt nodded his head. A playful glint appeared in his eyes, “ well I'm glad I could be at your assistance.”
Blaine slapped his arm softly. “How about you get a shower and I make you some breakfast to make up for it?”
Kurt grinned at him. “Well I would be stupid to say no to that, wouldn't I?”
Blaine pressed a kiss against his cheeks as he scrambled over his legs to get to the door. He winked at him once more, looking smugly before he was out the door.
Kurt let out a heavy sigh and let himself fall back on the bed. The guy would be the death of him.
When he found himself laying in the bed long enough, he decided to stand up and go take a shower like Blaine suggested.
Maybe it would clear his mind a bit but he who was he kidding, there was only one thing on his mind.
Kurt walked out of the room, following the smell of fresh toast and something that smelled an awfully lot like pancakes.
His suspicions were confirmed when he walked into the kitchen arena.
Blaine was trying to flip some pancakes like the guys in the movies did. To his surprise he actually succeeded.
Jeff and Nick made a noise of victory as they applauded for Blaine.
Kurt started giggling and made his way into the room. “Someone got show cooking skills.”
He watched the faintest blush spread on Blaine's cheeks. Blaine pointed his finger towards Kurt, trying to come over threating, “Hey, it's you who I am making breakfast for so now laughing.”
Kurt walked around the kitchen island and wrapped his arms around Blaine from where he was standing behind him, not really realizing how Blaine stiffened a bit in his arms. “And I'm very grateful for that.”
He placed a kiss against his cheek before he let go and took place next to Jeff and Nick at the kitchen island. He didn't even get the chance to get a breath before Jeff started talking to him about the party last night and how he hadn't find him to dance.
If he had looked up once more though, he would have noticed how Blaine had needed a moment to recover. A moment to let it all sink in before he could finish his task.
Nick was snickering as he playfully moved his eyebrows. Blaine only give him a discrete finger before he moved back to the task.
It didn't take him long to finish the pancakes for everyone. He put some on everyone's plate, adding some toast for himself and some for Kurt.
Then he took the place next to Kurt who was still in quite a busy conversation with Jeff. He looked up though and gave him a soft smile, a thank you, before he turned back to Jeff.
Blaine let the soft smile spread over his lips as he focused on his breakfast. In his mind he was already planning would happen today.
But for now he would keep it a secret. Just a little longer.
Kurt took a seat on the couch, his laptop was resting on his legs as he looked around.
Jeff and Nick were cleaning the dishes and he was almost 100 % sure that was a bad idea from Blaine, if the soap that was flying around the kitchen was any idea.
He turned his attention back to his laptop that was slowly starting up.
The background finally appeared. It was an old picture of him, his dad and his mother he had once scanned in.
He let his finger wander over his mother face as he waited for the internet to open. It was a tradition that he had kept up over the years.
His plan was to update his facebook, twitter and Instagram with a thank you towards everyone who had voted for him. Then he would ask the others what they were planning for the day and maybe tagging along with some of them.
His facebook appeared on the screen as his mouse already clicked on the artist page he had made.
A soft smile spread on his lips as he tried to hold back a squeal at how many followers he had gained last night.
He opened a new message and started typing.
Hi everyone,
For those who have been following me since the beginning, nice seeing you back! For those who started just following me now, nice to meet you.
I wanted to take a moment to thank each one of you, if you have voted or not, for the support you guys have given me last night. I had such a great time on stage, singing my heart out and giving it my all.
While I admit I was a bit afraid to go home, I'm so glad to go through! It only motives me to do even better next week, to push my limits even more!
Thank you for all you've guys done!
Lots of love
Kurt Hummel
He read over his message once more before he added a picture from his phone. It was picture he had asked one of the crew members to take with his phone. He was literally singing his heart out.
He waited until it uploaded. His fingers were softly tapping against his laptop, starting a rhythm of their own.
When the picture was fully uploaded he pressed to post it. It didn't take long before he started getting likes. It was quite insane and he didn't believe that half of them had read the message before liking.
He let out a soft chuckle as he moved on to his Instagram and twitter, each posting a link to his facebook profile for the full text and not the short thank you.
When he was finished, he started looking up some reviews of his performance, curiously to know what people thought about him.
But when he typed his name into the search balk, he ended up finding something totally different from what he expected.
He started reading, his eyes closing a little in suspicious.
America's newest sensation candidate Kurt Hummel spotted getting cozy with Blaine Anderson.

Kurt could almost feel his mouth drop open as he read title after title. Some were even from newspapers that were read by many people daily.
Just that moment, Blaine walked out of their room. He immediately walked towards Kurt and let himself playfully lean against the back of the couch, “what are you doing?”
Kurt turned around, still feeling a little shocked as he signed for Blaine to take a seat next to him.
When Blaine was seated, he gave his laptop to him, carefully watching his movements.
He noticed how Blaine read line after line on the open page but to his surprise there was no shock on his face.
Blaine looked up after a bit, “guess it was about to happen sooner or later. Gossip sites love these kind of news.”
Kurt frowned a bit, “you are not worried about it?”
Blaine shook his head, “No I am not. Would I have liked something like this to happen? Yes I would but only when something had actually happened and we both agreed on sharing with the world.”
Kurt let out a sigh, “well it's too late for that now. How did they came up with that even? We barely talked last night!”
Blaine moved his hand towards the open page, “it's because of that obviously.”
Kurt looked a little closer when he noticed there were pictures on the screen. They must have been taken last night when he had hugged Blaine and watched the other's say goodbye to the leaving contestants.
The pictures looked like they were taken fast behind each other. The first one was of Kurt smiling softly towards Blaine, the second one was of him wrapping his arms around him and the third one was of him laying his head against his chest as Blaine looked down at him with a soft look in his eyes.
“Guess we'll be extra looked at for the next few weeks,” he sighed.
Blaine let out a sigh, “Guess my plans for today won't go through then.”
Kurt looked at him questioningly as he closed the lit of his laptop, “you got me at plans. Tell me about them.”
Blaine shrugged, “I was planning on I guess taking you out today. Doing some fun things together. But now I've read that,” he said as he waved towards the screen, “I am not so sure anymore.”
Kurt let out a sigh. “We are not ruining a perfectly fine day like today because of that.”
Blaine let his hands wander over his face, “I don't want to go out and spend the whole day hiding for photographers.”
Kurt nodded, “and I understand that but if we want to make it, we're going to have to get used to this. For today though, I agree we shouldn't go fully out there. So how about we go to the beach instead?”
Blaine looked up at him, his eyebrow going up in a funny way as he looked curiously at Kurt, “you sure?”
Kurt nodded, “yeah. We can make a fun day of it. How about we make our bag and get going.”
Blaine already stood up and ran to his room. Kurt grinned happily as he followed behind him.
He knew it was probably quite naïve to think they wouldn't see any photographers at the beach or any fans, but for now he wouldn't think about it.
Besides, it was their only free day of the week. They better made most of it.
Blaine placed the beach towel carefully on the sand When he was sure it lay fully correct, he put another one next to it.
Kurt smiled at him as he placed their bags on the ground, “told you they wouldn't be gaping at us.”
Blaine shrugged, “at least for now.”
He carefully stepped out of his sandals and took a seat on one of the towels. Then he patted on the one next to him and looked at Kurt over the pink sunglasses on his nose.
Kurt rolled his eyes playfully and took a seat next to him, “it's a good thing it's a beautiful day today.”
Blaine nodded as he took the bag Kurt had placed next to him and started rummaging through it, “it's a good thing I let the taxi driver stop for us to get some sunscreen.”
He pulled the bottle with sunscreen out of his bag and held it up for Kurt, “mind if I put some on you?”
Kurt shook his head as he carefully lifted his shirt over his head. Blaine put some sunscreen on his hands and started rubbing it on his bag as Kurt started rubbing over his chest.
“So what's the plan for today,” asked Kurt as Blaine started massaging his shoulders.
“Well I thought maybe we could just lay on the beach for a bit to start with, swim a bit in the water and then maybe go for a walk? Then we could find something to eat?”
Kurt nodded, “I think that would be great.”
They switched places as Kurt started rubbing sunscreen on Blaine's back, who happily hummed and leaned into the touch.
When Kurt was sure he had applied enough sunscreen, yes he might have put a bit more on than necessary but only to be safe, he let himself fall on one of the towels.
“Keep an eye on me will you? I burn easily,” he said softly as he let the warmth soak him up.
Blaine let himself fall next to him, “I promise.”
Kurt nodded once more as he let his eyes fall close before he let himself fall into pure calm and sleepiness.
They had a blast the whole day and Kurt wasn't able to pull the smile of his way. For sure not when he had the best day in his life.
He left himself lean a bit more against Blaine's chest as he let his mind wander back.
He had been woken up by a pouting Blaine after he had apparently fallen asleep. Blaine had begged him to go in the water with him and play a bit.
It turned out to be more of a chasing game in the end where Kurt wasn't so sure how playing tag came along in it.
When Kurt felt tired of all the running in the water, they had gone back towards their towels and just stayed like that for a while, talking about everything and nothing.
It was only when Kurt's stomach started rumbling that they had gone to find a restaurant.
Blaine had been a total gentleman, holding open doors and pulling out chairs. Kurt had blushed every single time but he had also loved every single moment of it.
It was the first time Kurt had found himself having dinner with just one guys and it felt amazing.
There was never any awkward silence, any awkward glances or any awkward food problems. It was just the 2 of them.
He didn't even feel embarrassed when a piece of fish fell on his shirt. He had just laughed it off with Blaine.
When the both of them had finished, they did have a little discussion about who was going to win.
In the end, Blaine was the smarter one and slipped his credit card unnoticed towards the waiter.
Kurt had rolled his eyes and made Blaine promise him that he would get to pay the next time.
Blaine had promised but the twinkle in his eyes hadn't convinced Kurt.
When they walked out of the restaurant, Kurt had dared to take Blaine's hand who had smiled happily back to him.
They started walking on the beach until Blaine pointed towards some rocks in the distance. “How about we take a stop there?”
Kurt hadn't thought most of it but now he was sitting between Blaine's legs with his back resting against his chest, he had to admit Blaine had the best ideas.
He watched the sun slowly sink lower as it almost touched the point where the sea seemed to end.
Blaine pressed a kiss against his cheek, “thank you for letting me take you out today.”
Kurt let his head fall back against his shoulder, “no thank YOU for today. It was perfect.”
He watched how the sun slowly dipped behind the ocean. “This is perfect.”
Blaine wrapped his arms a little tighter around his waist, “it is.”
Blaine took his phone out of his pocket and started unlocking it in front of Kurt, “let me take a picture to remember.”
Kurt let out a playful sigh as he leaned his head against Blaine's. They smiled broadly as the picture was taken.
“You better send that one to me,” he said with a soft smile.
Blaine pressed another kiss against his cheek, “of course I would.”
Kurt turned his head slowly, trying to catch a glimpse of Blaine. He didn't think about the consequences though when his eyes met Blaine's honey ones.
One of Blaine's hands around his waist slowly unwrapped itself and started moving over his chest until it cupped his cheek.
It was like all air had escaped his body as his mind took a fast road trip to that one moment a week ago where they were just like this.
He watched Blaine's eyes slowly lower themselves until they were looking at his lips.
They lingered for a moment before they looked back towards his. Kurt though they looked that tiniest bit darker as he looked straight into them.
His eyes closed carefully as he watched Blaine lean in closer. He leaned in the last bit before their lips brushed against each other ever so softly.
He let out a long breath through his nose as he felt Blaine lips move against his in a soft rhythm before his teeth nipped as his lower lip.
A soft noise made its way through his lips let one hand wander through Blaine's curly hair.
Blaine carefully pulled away after one last nip at his lower lip.
Kurt felt a blush spread on his cheeks as he looked at the soft smile playing on Blaine's lips. For a moment he looked just as shy as he was.
He rubbed his free hand over his neck as he smiled softly. His eyes darted up again towards Kurt's as they held some wonder inside of them.
Kurt didn't even have a chance to ask what was going on through his mind as he felt his lips tingle again from where they were touching Blaine's.
And just like that, all worries had left his mind. All the mattered was Blaine.
They would go home at one point, but right now he had no time to think rationally.
They could worry about that later. He pressed back against Blaine's lips and slowly turned between his legs so he could fully wrap himself around Blaine.
Yeah, there was no way they would go home now.
Blaine carefully opened the door as Kurt muffled a giggle.
Blaine turned around and pressed his finger against his lips. Kurt just leaned forward and tried to steal a kiss.
Blaine took his hand again and started leading him through the front door.
Quietly he closed it behind them. An then the lights went on. Jeff and Nick were sitting on the couch, grinning widely as they looked like they had been doing nothing.
Blaine let out a groan and started hiding behind Kurt, “you can deal with them.”
“What, they are your friends,” he pouted.
He let out a sigh when Blaine kept hiding behind him and made his way towards Jeff and Nick, “you know you didn't have to wait up all evening for us right? It's not that late.”
Nick looked at his watch, “it is late though and we have rehearsals tomorrow morning. Where have you 2 been?”
Kurt thought a moment about not telling them but he let out a sigh, “we went to the beach. A fun nice day off at the beach.”
Jeff pouted, “and you didn't invite us?”
Kurt felt his cheeks turn dark red as he started looking at the ground. He had hoped to keep it a little longer for him and Blaine.
Blaine let out a sigh, “why can't I just hang out with my best friend?”
Nick looked suspicious, “it was a date, wasn't it?”
Now it was Blaine's turn to blush furiously, “what if it was?”
Jeff started jumping up and down on the couch before he started running towards Blaine, “I'm happy for you.”
Blaine smiled into his best friends shoulder, “Yeah me too,” he said softly as he looked over his shoulder towards Kurt.
He carefully pulled himself out of the hug, “but please don't tell around yet. We want to keep this for us for a little bit longer. It's not like we need to put the media even more on our backs.”
Nick nodded in understanding, “we read them too. It's only the first week and they are already starting rumors,” he sighed.
“It's okay,” said Blaine. “We just don't want to have them on our backs the whole time. We want to see where this is going, just the two of us.”
Nick and Jeff both nodded. “We won't tell Blainey,” Jeff grinned. “Now you better go to your bed and get some rest because tomorrow we have dance classes,” he said as he pointed.
Blaine let out a sigh, “ugh, don't remind me.”
Kurt started laughing from where he was leaning against the couch, “thank god I only have singing classes tomorrow.”
Blaine pouted, “yeah laugh at me. The day after tomorrow it will be my turn.”
Now Kurt pouted. Nick shook his head, “bed, both of you. And you better go sleeping,” he said in a singing voice as he closed the door behind him and Jeff.
Kurt shook his head, “he did not just do that.”
“Yes I did,” shouted Nick through the door.
Blaine started laughing, “common, let's get some sleep.”
He leaned up on his tiptoes and pressed a kiss against Kurt's lips before he took his hand and started leading him through the door.
He closed the door carefully behind him.
That night, they cuddled close together. It wasn't a question if they were going to sleep in their own beds, they just wanted to be close some longer.
A few lazy kisses were shared before both of them felt their eyelids drop close.
Blaine pressed a last kiss on the tip of Kurt's nose. “Good night,” he whispered against his forehead before he let his eyes drop close as well and let dreams take over.
