Blaine sat on the ground with Kurt between his legs and his arms wrapped around Kurt's chest. It was Christmas and they had decided to celebrate it together as it was their first. Blaine had taken a lot of pictures as memories. He had promised Kurt to only place one on the wall as it was starting to fill very easily. There cups with hot cacao were resting on the coffee table. It was perfect. Blaine and Kurt hadn't exchanged Christmas presents yet as they just wanted to enjoy the warmth of each other right now.

Kurt was starting to fall asleep and after a while Blaine heard him snore a little. It was a sign that Kurt was very comfy. Blaine moved his fingers through his hair. With his other arm he pulled the blanket closer around them to keep Kurt warm. He loved watching Kurt sleep. It gave him a calm feeling.

Blaine couldn't deny that he was a little disappointed though. It hadn't snowed all day and it was Christmas after all. He had hoped that their first Christmas would be white. Blaine started to hum Christmas songs under his breath. He felt Kurt stir a little and then those blue eyes opened and looked up at him. He smiled at Blaine. “I can't believe I fell asleep.”

“You better do because you did.”

Kurt chuckled. “Hmm … I was comfy. You make a very good pillow, you know?”

Blaine was laughing. “I'm glad to know that if my rock star career stops one day, I can become a human pillow.”

They just lay there a while longer before Blaine suggested to open presents. They walked upstairs hand in hand and laid down on their sides, looking at each other. Blaine gave Kurt a little kiss before he turned around and grabbed his present out of the night table. He gave Kurt a little small box.

Kurt's eyes had gone wide. “Blaine?”

“Hush. Just open it. I'll explain later.” Kurt removed very careful the paper around the small box. It was Tiffany's. Blaine had known that Kurt had a thing for those stuff and after hanging out with the boys, he had gone to buy a Christmas present. He watched how Kurt slowly opened the box and looked at the ring on the inside.

Blaine saw how he looked up and started to talk. “It's not an engagement ring yet. I would love it to become one soon though. I was thinking about what I wanted to give your for Christmas and I wanted you to give something you could always hold close so you have always a piece of me with you. It's what people like to call a promise ring. It holds my promise to love you forever, to protect you and to always be your best friend. To be there for you whenever I need you and wherever I am, it doesn't matter if I'm miles away, I want you to remember that I would let everything drop if you would need me. I want to promise you with this that no matter how many hate we get, I'll never let you go. And at least I want to promise you that when the time is right I'll replace that ring with a proper engagement ring because I know that one day you'll be my husband and that day will be the best day in my entire life.”

Blaine brushed the tears away that were rolling on Kurt's face. “I love you so much Kurt. You've no idea.”

“I love you too Blaine. It's perfect.”

Blaine took the ring out of the box and held his hand out for Kurt to hold. Kurt took his hand and Blaine placed the ring careful on his finger. Blaine kissed the ring on his finger.

“It looks just like I imagined.” Blaine was smiling bright now.

“It my turn to give you your present. Close your eyes. I've to go get it.” Blaine was confused but closed his eyes. He tried to peek but Kurt noticed of course and now he was blindfolded. Totally his own fault, no one else to blame. He listened how Kurt walked out the room. He didn't go down stairs or he would have heard how he walked down the stairs. A little while later the footsteps returned.

Blaine was curious. He was the kind of kid that would go downstairs the night before Christmas to feel on all his present and guess what was inside it and Kurt knew it. He felt how Kurt sat down on the bed next to him. “You can get rid of the blindfold.”

Blaine ripped the blindfold away and looked how Kurt held a new guitar. The guitar Blaine had looked at in the music shop a few times, but the thing had been quiet expensive and he already had 2 guitars. “Kurt.”

“I know. I knew you loved it so I bought it for you. It's our first Christmas together and I wanted to give you something special. And besides, you've now a piece of me you can get with you once you're on the stage or on tour, just like I have your promise ring.”  

Blaine took a hold on the guitar and let his fingers go over the frame. His fingers ran over something that felt like letters. Blaine held the guitar closer and looked at an inscription. For our first Christmas. Love you Kurt. Blaine had tears in his eyes. “It's perfect, baby. Thank you so much.”

“Play something for me, please?”

“What do you want to hear me play?”

“Anything is fine with me.” Blaine chuckled and started to play not alone. Kurt started to sing slowly with him. They played a few more songs before Blaine went downstairs to place his guitar by the others. He started to go upstairs when he looked out of the windows. “OH MY GOD! KURT … KURT BABY IT'S SNOWING! YOU HAVE TO COME DOWNSTAIRS!”

Blaine ran to the window and looked to the snowflakes. Hopefully tomorrow there would be some snow left. Maybe they could go to central park. He was sure the other boys would love that too. He felt two arms wrap around his waist and a chin rest on his shoulder. “I love how you get all excited about Christmas and the snow.”

Blaine chuckled and leaned into Kurt's touch. “Be prepared for tomorrow, if there is any snow left we'll go outside.” He heard Kurt groan and grinned. “You can' escape baby. It's like you and black Friday shopping.” They went back upstairs and cuddled each other in sleep.

Blaine was early awake and jumping around all excited. There was a lot of snow and it still snowed a little. He pulled out his phone and started to text Wes, Jeff and David. It was time for their annual snow fight. He knew the boys would totally be up for it. Convincing Kurt would be a totally different story.

It was time to give it a try and use his magical puppy eyes. Blaine took the two cups of coffee and walked upstairs. He placed them on Kurt's night table and sat down on his knees beside the bed. Kurt looked very peaceful asleep and Blaine felt almost guilty for waking him up. He ran his fingers through Kurt's hair and placed a kiss on his forehead. “Baby, time to wake up.”

Kurt was mumbling something and Blaine decided to give it another try. This time he kissed Kurt full on the mouth. Kurt didn't respond at first but soon his hands where in Blaine's hair and Blaine thought he heard a quiet moan escaping Kurt's throat. With a smile he pulled away and looked how Kurt opened his eyes slowly.

“Morning, how late is it?”

“It's still early but we've somewhere to go. And I made you coffee.” He gave Kurt the cup and looked how he sat up and drank thirsty.

“Hmmm. Ok you can wake me up every morning like this.”

Blaine chuckled. “I'm going to take a shower. Don't you dare to fall asleep again.”

Blaine showered quickly and pulled on one of his ticker jeans, a shirt and a hoody. This should totally help keeping him warm. He knew Kurt didn't have much warm clothes so he lay a hoody from himself aside for Kurt.

Kurt was sitting up and looking out at the window when Blaine came out of the bathroom. Without a word he stood up, gave Blaine a small peck and went into the bathroom.

Blaine drank his own cup, now cold, coffee and looked outside. This would be so much fun. He knew he would need to convince the boys that they couldn't tackle Kurt in the snow but beside that he knew Kurt would love this too. Kurt came out the bathroom with tight jeans and a few layer clothes.

Blaine walked towards Kurt and wrapped him in his arms. “I know you are going to protest but I laid a hoody of me ready for you. We're going outside to central park to enjoy the snow with Jeff, Wes and David and I don't want you to get cold.”

Kurt just nodded and gave Blaine a kiss. Blaine hadn't expect it to go that easy but was happy never the less. They got ready. Blaine pulled on some old sneakers, his warmest jacket, some gloves and a scarf. Blaine watched how Kurt did the same.

He looked in their closet for two beanies. He had never seen Kurt wear one but it was cold and he didn't want Kurt to get ill. He looked at Kurt's choose of clothes and looked for a beanie with the same colour. He placed a black one on his own head and walked towards Kurt who placed his arms around his waist.

Blaine placed the beanie on Kurt's head to see him panic. “It's cold baby, I don't want you to get ill. Please, for me?”

Blaine used his puppy eyes and pouted a little. He knew Kurt couldn't stand it and as expected,

Kurt gave in. “You know, it's the first time I see you wear a beanie and I really like it.”

Blaine pulled out his phone and took a picture of him and Kurt. He logged in on twitter and decided to place the picture on it. Snow day. Time for a huge snow fight with @KurtHummel @WesWarbler @JeffForReal @DavidOfficial. Blaine took Kurt's hand and they walked hand in hand towards the park.

Jeff, David and Wes were already waiting. They were throwing snow balls to each other and Kurt gripped Blaine's hand just a little stronger. Blaine grinned and let go of Kurt's hand. He bent down and made a little snow ball. He threw as hard as he could and was happy when he heard David scream in confusing.

“RUN KURT RUN.”

Kurt looked confused but once he saw how David, Wes and Jeff were starting to run, he sprinted away. He had long legs and could run really fast. Blaine could just look after him and see him run away. Stupid hobbit legs he thought to himself. He felt a snowball hit the back of his head. He knew he should look for a place to hide and roll some snowballs. This was war. He had no idea where Kurt was but hoped he was safe. Blaine ran through a crowd of people and lost Wes, Jeff and David.

Blaine was standing behind a few trees now and bend down to roll a few snow balls. Wes, Jeff and David were looking around, trying to find out where Blaine had gone. He peeked from behind the tree and when no one looked he threw the snow ball hard against Wes his head.

Wes looked around suspicious to find a hint. “We find you man! You never can hide.”

Blaine grinned and waited until they were looking around again. He threw a snow ball just when Wes turned around. The snowball hit him full in the face. He heard Wes getting mad and saw how David and Jeff fell down on the ground double in laughter.

Blaine knew he had to stay quiet but he couldn't help the chuckle that escaped his lips. The boys must have heard and looked suspicious towards the trees. Blaine held a hand for his mouth and peeked to see the boys run towards the tree.

Blaine ran away as fast as he could with the boys on his heels. Then he heard the three boys all scream and looked behind to see them all stop. They all had snow on their beanies like someone hit them a few seconds ago. Blaine was a little confused before he realised that Kurt was hanging around somewhere to.

He grinned because it was terrible sweet that Kurt tried to protect him from the boys. Blaine wasn't paying attention and hadn't noticed how the boys all came closer. When he finally snapped out of his thoughts, he had just enough time to realise that the boys were going to jump on him. He felt the cold snow press all in his clothes. “Jeez boys, get off me it's freezing.”

Wes grinned and started to scream. “Kurt, give yourself over. We got your boy. We know you are out there.”

“Kurt, baby, don't listen to them. They are mean.” Blaine pouted a little.

They were all looking around, waiting for a sign when there came a lot of snowballs flying towards them with very short time in between them. David, Wes and Jeff started to run away and Blaine took his chance to run the other side, far away from them.

He ran and ran when a hand was placed on his arms and he was pulled after some trees. He looked up to see two pair of blue eyes look inside his. “Well hello there. We probably don't have much time.” Kurt placed a kiss on Blaine's lips who was totally getting lost in the moment. Blaine was pushed against the tree and felt how Kurt's arms were placed each beside his head. What Blaine didn't know was that Kurt wanted to win this battle. Kurt saw his moment and took a snowball that he had placed on one of the branches. Kurt pulled away with a very playful smile and before Blaine knew it, he felt the snowball in his jacket. Blaine looked completely in shock when Kurt started to laugh and ran away. “Oh no baby, you won't get away with this so easy. KURT I'LL GET YOU BACK.. I THOUGHT YOU WERE ON MY SIDE.”

Blaine started to pout when he saw David, Wes and Jeff come closer. They saw Blaine's jacket getting wet and grinned widely. “Ok boys, we are going to need to stick together to get Kurt back.”

They plotted fast a plan and decided to haunt Kurt. They had no idea where he was but he couldn't be that far. They split up in pairs of two. David and Wes we're going on one side and Jeff and Blaine on the other side.

Blaine heard a noise on his side and saw Kurt's booth stuck behind the tree. He grinned widely and gave Jeff their Warbler sign. Jeff did the sign towards David and Wes and they all walked very silently towards the tree. Wes and David approached from the left while Blaine and Jeff took care of the other side.

Kurt was rolling snow balls and didn't notice how the boys were all standing around him now. When he turned around, he saw all laughing faces and eight snowballs laughing with him. He knew this was the end. And then he felt 6 snowballs hit him everywhere. He hated the cold. It reminded him of the slushies.

He pushed the thought aside but then Wes threw a snow ball right in the middle of his face and he kind of lost it. Blaine noticed and told the boys to lay off. Kurt was now all curled up sitting on the ground. “Baby you ok?”

Kurt didn't give much of a reaction. Everyone looked kind of concerned. “Talk to me baby. Please?”

Blaine pulled of his wet gloves and took Kurt's hands from his face. He refused to look up but he immediately saw something was wrong. “Please Kurt, I'm really starting to worry. Did we hurt you?”

Kurt whispered something but Blaine didn't understand it. “You should repeat baby. I can't understand you if you talk so quiet.”

“The one in my face, it just reminded me off the slushies they threw in my face.”

Blaine wrapped his arms around him. “Sorry baby, we didn't think about it. We can go inside and drink some hot cacao. What do you think?”

Kurt just nodded and let Blaine help him stand up.

Wes, David and Jeff were sitting on one of Blaine's sofa's. They didn't know a little about Kurt's past and had no idea what had just happened. Kurt was upstairs, changing in something warmer while Blaine placed a tray with five mugs of hot chocolate in front of them. “Blaine, is he ok? We have literally no idea what just happened.”

Blaine looked up in Jeff concerned eyes. “Yeah, Kurt got pretty bad bullied in high school. One snow ball hit his face and it reminded him of the slushies they threw in his face.”

“Slushies? Who would do something like that?”

“Jocks.” Kurt voice sounded clear when he walked down the stairs. He went to sit down on the sofa next to Blaine.

Blaine stood up and went upstairs to pull on a new hoody as his other one was still cold and wet from the snow ball in his jacket. He went back downstairs with a four blankets and a few movies. They opted to stay inside the rest of the day and watch Christmas movies. Blaine wished there would be a lot more Christmases that he could share with Kurt, Wes, Jeff and David. It was perfect.
