Hi guys, Im sorry it took me so long to update. Ive been looking at this story for the past week but somehow my mind was stuck.
I knew the rough form of what I wanted for this chapter and I removed everything and rewrote at least 6 times.
Today though, it seemed like my mind was finally made up and this chapter came from it. I hope you guys like it! Its something new and I really hope you all enjoyed it. The song I used was Neon lights by Demi Lovato in case you didnt know.
I also wanted to add that I see this story end in like I think around 4 or 5 chapters. Im not sure yet how many it are going to be but I counted it out and I think it will be 4. No sad feeling though because there is so much more to come!
Let me know what you think ;) Lots of love xoxo
The week passed so much faster than both of them had wanted.
They had split their time by spending it with the boys, in the studio or just hanging out together in the quietness of Blaine's house.
Kurt had to admit that it was one of the most fun weeks he had had in a while.
He absolutely dreaded going back to reality and then there was that one thing he still needed to talk about with Blaine.
Time was moving fast and there was only little time left. Tonight would be the night of the decision and somehow Kurt hoped they were on the same page.
Blaine walked into the living room with a huge smile on his face. “Soooooo,” he said with a smirk on his face.
Kurt looked curiously at him. “What sooo?”
“Well,” grinned Blaine. “We already planned this a while before you were coming but today we are going to shoot a music video and I was wondering if you wanted to be also part of it.”
Kurt grinned. “You want me to be part of the music video?”
“Well it's a lot of people partying together and there might be some fluor paint,” Blaine shrugged.
Kurt started laughing. “If you want me there then who am I to tell you no,” grinned Kurt.
Blaine threw his fist in the air and did a happy dance which made Kurt giggle from his place on the couch. “You are adorable,” he smiled softly.
Blaine walked towards him and cupped his cheek immediately. “And you are perfect,” he smiled as he leaned forward and let his lips move against Kurt's slowly.
They stayed like that, just for a while as they enjoyed the quiet moment, knowing that it would be the only one with having the other's around the rest of the day.
They arrived on the set together, holding hands. Jeff, Nick and David were already waiting for them, all wearing black t-shirts and dark jeans.
“There you are,” shouted Wes. “Get into your clothes.”
Blaine just grinned and walked the way towards the door Wes was pointing at. “There better be clothes for Kurt too because he is also going to be part.”
Wes just smirked. “Already thought ahead. Besides, I have a role for Kurt in this music video.”
Kurt looked suspicious at Wes. “It better not be embarrassing.”
Wes just chuckled. “Get changed,” he shouted back as he pointed once more at the door.
Blaine and Kurt appeared with their black clothes on. Blaine was still looking at Kurt. He couldn't help it but Kurt looked amazing in black.
Kurt just wiggled his eyebrows when he caught Blaine staring and made his way towards Jeff.
Somehow the two of them had become close friends over the past week. Blaine didn't even know how it had happened.
One moment they walked into the studio, the other moment Jeff was teaching Kurt the guitar and then they started texting.
Blaine still didn't know what to make of the friendship.
He walked towards Nick and slapped him on the back. “So what's the plan,” he grinned.
The guys filled him in about what was going to happen and he grinned at the concept.
It wasn't a song he had written himself but a song written by David. Blaine had immediately loved it and seen so much potential in it.
That's how they had decided to make this their first new single.
“Kurt come over here,” shouted Blaine.
Kurt smiled at him curiously as he made his way towards him. “Something wrong?”
“No, I was just wondering if you wanted to know what your part would be,” smiled Wes.
Kurt listened to what Wes was saying and nodded at the appropriate times.
He grinned when Wes was done explaining and turned to Blaine. “I wish you good luck with seducing me,” he grinned as he turned around and walked away once more.
Jeff, David and Nick started laughing at the shock on Blaine's face. “Good luck with that,” Wes smirked as he patted Blaine on the back.
Blaine just shook his head and laughed. Today would be something else.
Blaine stood on the stage while the others took their place behind their instruments.
He looked around over the people until he saw Kurt standing against the bar.
He winked at Kurt who just started laughing and blew him a kiss.
Blaine cheekily caught it which made the guys laugh. “Cheesy Blaine, totally cheesy.”
Blaine discretely showed them his finger before he took the microphone in his hands.
Wes was standing against the wall, next to the camera guys. He put his thumb up for the guys and Blaine nodded at him.
The camera man started shouting the instructions.
They shot this part multiple times and to Blaine, the last part had been the best.
He looked around while the guys were starting the song. The intro was a little longer into this video.
Then his eyes would connect with Kurt. First he looked curiously at him before he let the tip of his tongue go over his lips.
Kurt raised his eyebrow from where he was standing against the bar where another camera was filming.
On cue, Blaine started singing.
Baby, when they look up at the sky
Well be shooting stars just passing by
Youll be coming home with me tonight
Well be burning up like neon lights
Without much thinking, he started moving his hands over the microphone stand. His eyes still locked with Kurt who didn't seem to be able to look away.
It was that moment they called cut and let him know that they had everything for this part.
The guys appeared by his side and patted him on the back. Blaine just grinned at them before he looked back at Kurt, who was still looking at him.
Blaine just smirked at him and looked at him with raised eyebrows. It wasn't only a question but also a challenge for Kurt and somehow, he felt like Kurt knew what he meant.
He winked at him once more before he followed the guys off the stage towards Wes was standing, ready for the next part.
Blaine was leaning against the stage. The guys were mingling with the crowd.
They had already taken a shot from Blaine walking down the stairs and now they were going to follow him through the crowd towards were Kurt was standing.
Slowly they filmed how Blaine was walking towards Kurt. Just as he was about to reach Kurt, he started to sing the sentence that passed in that moment.
Be still my heart cause its freaking out, its freaking out, right now
And then he was there.
Shining like stars cause were beautiful, were beautiful, right now
The guys around them kept on filming the two of them now from two points of views.
Blaine made a few of the moves he usual did as he placed one hand on his chest and he pointed with one hand towards Kurt.
Youre all I see in all these places
Youre all I see in all these faces
He sang as he pointed around the room and did a twirl.
Blaine could see the amusement in Kurt's eyes as he tried to impress Kurt with his moves.
So lets pretend were running out of time, of time
He move towards Kurt and held out his hand which he took happily. Still looking a little mysteriously towards Blaine.
Blaine wrapped his arm around Kurt's shoulder as he looked up towards the plafond of the room. He pointed towards it as he sang the next line.
Baby, when they look up at the sky
Well be shooting stars just passing by
Then he took Kurt's hand and leaded him towards the middle of the crowd.
The director called cut and smirked at the two of them. “Think you can do that again, just in case.”
Blaine looked at Kurt before he looked back at him. “Yes we can do that.”
Blaine smirked to Kurt. “So we only have one shot to do this. Don't mess too much with me ok?”
Kurt started laughing. “But Blaine, it's paint,” he pouted.
Blaine just shook his head. There was going to be a group of people to interrupt the party and then the hell would break lose with fluor paint.
Secretly, Blaine was looking forward to this part. They would just all need to party and have fun.
And after this, it would be done for today. He couldn't wait to spend the rest of his evening with Kurt.
The director caught his attention and when the words were shouted, everyone started dancing on the music as Blaine's voice filled the room from the recorded version.
He started dancing closely to Kurt, his hand on his hip as they enjoyed the music together without dancing like most people did nowadays.
Nick, Jeff and David were close by and also dancing on the music around them with other people.
The group walked in with different colors of paint. The lit of the pots were already removed and everyone eagerly put a hand in a pot.
Blaine wanted to be before Kurt but somehow he knew Kurt was always sneaker than him.
Kurt's hand was back on his chest and slowly making its way only a little lower. Then he let one finger of paint trail over Blaine's cheek while he grinned cheekily.
And so they went on, teasing each other as the music went on.
When they neared the end of the song, Blaine had different colors of paint on his cheeks, just like an Indian. His shirt was also full of paint in the front and on the back and he had weird symbols all over his arms.
Somehow he even had a pink curl bungling in front of his face. How that happened, he had no idea.
Kurt wasn't any better. He was full of paint, except for one cheek which had remained clean.
They didn't know how the other's looked but all they had eyes for was each other.
Somehow they would look intense at each other, other times they would laugh about something they had drawn on the other.
The song was coming to an end when Blaine put his finger in the red paint.
He leaned his forehead against Kurt whose breath hitched.
Kurt's arms wrapped around his waist as Blaine wrapped one around his neck.
He started whispering the words in the small space between their lips.
Be still my heart cause its freaking out
His stopped drawing against Kurt's cheek, which wasn't clean anymore. Now a red fluor heart was taking up the space.
Without thinking too much, Blaine leaned forward and kissed Kurt softly while his other arm wrapped itself around Kurt's neck.
They lost themselves in the kiss for a moment. Somewhere in the distance, they heard the director yell cut but Blaine wanted to enjoy the moment a little longer.
Nick disturbed the moment first when he put some paint on Blaine's cheek.
Blaine rolled his eyes. “Nicholas, you better run.”
Nick just put out his tongue towards him and started running which made Blaine and Kurt roll their eyes.
Blaine heard Wes call for him and pecked Kurt once more on the lips before he made his way towards Wes.
He hoped they'd be done for today so he could finally go home and be with Kurt. For their last evening together.
Kurt and Blaine walked into Blaine's place hand in hand. They were freshly showered and in their own clothes again.
No one would notice what they had been doing the past few hours, well not from Kurt.
Blaine was still cursing him for the pink paint that wouldn't get out of his hair.
Kurt started giggling every time he noticed as he remembered how Blaine had walked out of the shower, pouting and pointing towards the pink curly hair.
Kurt had stolen his phone and taken a picture of it. While Blaine wasn't looking, he had even taken it as his job to take a picture from Blaine and post it on his Instagram page. Fangirls you are welcome, he thought.
“So what do you want to do for the little of the evening we have left? We can go out and eat something or we can go see a movie or just watch a movie here,” Blaine started saying but Kurt immediately interrupted him.
“While all those things sound amazing, there is one thing I first need to talk with you about,” said Kurt.
Blaine looked confused as he took a seat on the couch and padded on the space next to him. “Sure, what do you want to talk about.”
Kurt just looked at him. “How about you stay here for a few and I get what I need.”
Without giving Blaine a chance to answer, he made his way towards their room and came back with a stack of papers.
It made Blaine look even more confused. “what is this,” he asked as he took the first one.
Immediately he noticed what it was. “Kurt, I don't understand.”
Kurt started playing with his sleeves as he sat down next to Blaine. “I got these a few weeks ago. They are all the answered I received from my choices of colleges. But I can't make this decision on my own,” Kurt pointed out. “I have a few favorites of course but this is a decision that could change a lot in both our lives. Before I met you, I always dreamed about going to New York.”
“I don't see how that could have changed when you met me Kurt,” Blaine whispered as he took Kurt's hands between his. “I want you to choose the college you always wanted to go to and in the place you always wanted to go to. I don't want to give you any regrets of not doing what you always wanted to.”
“Well that's the thing,” said Kurt as he looked into Blaine's amber eyes. “I can do what I wanted to do here too. I can become a fashion designer here too. I don't need to go for that to New York.”
Blaine still didn't look that convinced but Kurt knew that somehow New York wouldn't make him happy anymore.
“Look Blaine, I am not going to lie. You made me relook at everything,” he started. “I always dreamed about New York since I was little. Hell, I once upon a time had plans with Rachel to go there, well good luck that isn't happening,” he grinned. “And at that time, it might have made me happy, yes. But I don't think it would anymore.”
He cupped Blaine's face and pressed a kiss on his lips. “Before you, I wasn't fully happy. You changed that for me. You changed my whole life. Somehow you even made that hell of a high school bearable for me,” Kurt chuckled. “But most of all, you were there for me through all the hard times. This year hasn't been the simplest with us being so far away. I missed you and I don't think I can do that for another few years. Call me egoistic, but I want you near me. I can't ask you to move with me to New York because your life is here in LA with the guys who are not only your friends but also have become mine over the past few week. They made it feel even more like home and I don't want to leave this behind.”
Blaine nodded in understanding as he pressed a kiss against the palm of Kurt's hand. “I understand love but what if we break up. What if things go like we planned it. I can't let you make that decision because of me.”
Kurt shook his head. “We won't. I know you will tell me there is always a chance but we won't Blaine.
He took Blaine's hand and placed it over his heart. “I love you,” he whispered as he placed his hands over Blaine's beating heart. “And you love me and that's all we need at the moment. If you don't want this anymore at any time and you mean it, I will let you go. But as long as it is what we both want, I will fight for it with all I have.”
Blaine nodded his head as he lay his other hand over Kurt's. “I hope it's forever.”
Kurt smiled at him. “I hope so too.”
He broke the moment with a last kiss before he turned to the pile of letters on the table.
One by one they opened them. Much to his relieve, most had good news. His heart even jumped a few times when he noticed a few high university's that wanted him, Kurt Hummel.
Every time, Blaine would look at him proudly, but there was also distant in his eyes.
Kurt took the last one from the pile. This was the one he was most nervous about.
Through the year, his eyes had fallen more and more on this university.
It had everything he wanted, had a high reputation and was close by Blaine's apartment.
Slowly he opened the letter and started reading the words. It took him two times before he realized what it said.
He let out a squeal and jumped into Blaine's arms. “This is the on Blaine. I got in.”
Blaine took the letter out of his hands as he held Kurt closely. He grinned when he noticed where it was from.
“You are 100 % sure,” he verified.
Kurt grinned at him. “100 %. You are it for me Blaine. You need to stop worrying. I love you.”
When the last words left his lips, he leaned forward until they were kissing with everything they had.
Their minds both at the same place, wondering how it would be like next year, coming home to the other.
They had no doubt it would be perfect
