Hello Blaine. We need to talk.
Ok, what do you want to talk about?
I've seen the news you know. You're going to marry that boy you've been hanging around?
Dad, we're not going to have this conversation over the phone.
Well, we don't have any choice you know. You're never at home. You don't even take the time to contact us to tell us that you're going to get married!
Blaine looked at Kurt who was still laying down in the bed but looking at him with a confused look on his face. Blaine hadn't told Kurt a lot about his parents but just enough for him to know that they didn't get along quiet well.
Why would I? I'm the gay son you never wanted?
It went quiet on the other end and Blaine had had enough. He turned his phone off and went back to lay next to Kurt.
“Are you ok Blaine?”
“Yeah I'm fine. We can talk tomorrow about it. Right now we better go to sleep or we will be tired tomorrow.” Kurt decided to let it go and hold Blaine extra close tonight.
The morning came way to early. The boys got ready quickly and went downstairs with their luggage. They would get some breakfast at the airport. The van brought them to a very busy airport. Before they knew it, they were on the plane to Madrid. Kurt and Blaine were listening to Blaine's iPod during the flights, cuddled close together.
Blaine was lost in thoughts. He hadn't heard from his dad for a while now. They never were the most accepting parents. He hadn't really thought about telling them about the engagement. It's not like they would be happy with it he guessed. Probably they wouldn't even show up at their marriage. Blaine sighed while resting his head against the seat and closing his eyes.
He didn't notice how Kurt looked worried up. Kurt had no idea what the phone call had been about but he knew enough to know that Blaine really hadn't want to talk to them. Kurt got out of his cuddling position and pressed a kiss on Blaine's cheek. Blaine opened his eyes and looked at him with a smile before pressing his lips against Kurt's.
A few minutes later they arrived in Madrid. They were all pretty tired from the early flight and happy to arrive. They decided to go first to the hotel to take a nap and then they had the evening to look around a bit and get something to eat.
Kurt fell face first into the bed. Blaine just chuckled from the side. He was too tired to unpack so he just opened the valise and stripped till his boxers. He crawled next to Kurt on the bed and hugged him tightly against his chest.
“Weren't we going to talk today?” Kurt turned around until he was face to face with Blaine.
Blaine just looked up with tired eyes. “He wanted to know why he didn't know that we were going to get married.”
It was silence a while. “Why didn't you tell him?”
“My dad isn't as accepting like your dad. He barely holds contacts with me because of who I am and I'm not going to change for him. I hate that every time I'm in Ohio, I have to go visit them. It's always so unnatural like it's not where I belong.”
He looked up to Kurt. “I wish it was different though. But I don't need them anymore, I have you now.”
His lips were moving against Kurt's like the world would end in that moment. They only pulled away to get air and even then they held close. “I'm not going to tell you that you shouldn't have called them because after all they are still your parents. But I understand Blaine.”
Blaine just nodded and started to yawn. “Let's take a nap now. I'm sure you feel just as tired as I'm feeling.”
The moment the words left his mouth, Kurt started yawning. “You're adorable. Come here.”
Blaine set the alarm at for pm. Enough time to get sleep.
The boys woke up a little before the alarm went off. Blaine stretched himself a little. He felt more rested now. Kurt still looked tired though. They took a quick shower en went to wait for Wesley, David and Jeff.
Kurt decided to turn on his phone again after last night. A lot of messages came in now. He groaned and decided to place something on his Facebook page. That would calm them maybe down. “Blaine, would you come over here for a second?”
Blaine came a little closer on the sofa. “What do you need baby?”
Kurt just handed him the phone to read the messages. “Wow, They are really upset? What do you want to do about it?”
“I thought that maybe we could take a picture with the ring and a message for them. I'll place It on my Facebook and they might calm down a bit.”
Blaine just shrugged. He sat a little closer until they both were on screen. Kurt held his hand up with the ring and smiled happy. Just when the picture was taken, Blaine pressed a kiss again his cheek. The picture was cute.
Kurt just smiled shyly and started to type on the phone. Hey everyone, I'm sorry I didn't tell you before it got leaked out. Blaine asked me to marry him in London and I said yes of course. Here you have a picture of us (now in Madrid) and my ring in close up. I'll make up with all of you once I'm back in America. Love you all. He posted the picture beneath it. When the picture was posted, he placed the photo as the background on his phone.
Wes, David and Jeff came running around the corner. They decided to get a look around first. They walked around in the streets of Madrid. It was really hot outside. “I'm wearing tomorrow shorts, there is no way I'm wearing skinny jeans tomorrow.”
Blaine just chuckled as he saw Kurt sweating from the warmth. “Awwh baby, Let's walk a little more in the shadows?”
They walked hand in hand around and looked at the buildings. Madrid was nice but they were really excited to go to Paris. As it was Monday and there concert would be on Wednesday, they had decided to leave Wednesday night after the concert to Paris. They had a driver after all. They could sleep in the car and afterwards they had Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday in Paris.
Blaine smiled at the thought of so many days in Paris. He had been there once before and he loved it there. He would for sure take Kurt shopping a day. Kurt looked up to see Blaine smiling and lost in thought. “A penny for your thoughts?”
“Oh, I'm thinking about our next stop.”
"Paris?”
“Yeah Paris. I can't wait to show you around and go shopping with you. It will be amazing.”
Kurt just chuckled and followed Wes, David and Jeff. They found a cute little restaurant and decided to get something to eat. The cute little restaurant was really calm. Not many people were there to eat which was nice. They were talking about the plans for the next day when a few teens approached their table. All of them wanted some autographs and a picture. The boys stood up and gave all of them hugs and autographs. The picture was a group picture taken by Kurt. Kurt just laughed. It was the first time in Europe that the boys were taken from their food or what they were doing.
They ate further from their now much colder food when the owner of the restaurant approached their table. “Boys, I wondered if I should call the police. There are like a lot of people waiting outside the restaurant for all of you.”
Blaine looked up at Wes, David and Jeff with confused glances. Everyone stood up and went to take a look at one of the nearest windows. There were a lot of people standing outside. “OH MY GOD MAN, we are never getting out of that alive!”
Jeff just chuckled and took a picture. It was immediately posted on twitter. Hey everyone outside, we have no idea how we have to get out. Help?!
Kurt just looked shocked. “Does this happen a lot?”
“No this might be the first time in our career. I have no idea how we should get out of this.”
Wesley interrupted. “We should call our management. They will get us out of here.”
Wes dialled the number and went to stay a little further so they could talk. David and Jeff went meanwhile to the owner of the restaurant to pay the bill. Kurt and Blaine were still standing at the window. It looked insane. “Our manager is sending a car to pick us up. They also called the police so we can get out safe.”
Kurt was quiet at Blaine's side. “I don't want to go outside if there are so many people.”
Blaine looked at Kurt who looked really terrified now. “Hey, just walk close to me ok? Wes, David and Jeff can walk behind if it makes you feel better? It will be alright.”
Blaine hugged him tightly. After a few minutes, the police arrived. They tried to hold the crowd back a little. They were with quite a few and created a pat for them to get out.
That moment the van appeared outside. “We can go outside I think? Wes, David and Jeff can you walk behind us. Kurt's really terrified of the whole craziness outside.”
The boys nodded and let Blaine and Kurt go first. Blaine held Kurt close against his side. When they were at the van, he let Kurt get in first. Before he stepped in the van, he waved to all the fans. “We love you Madrid! See you on Wednesday!”
The other boys were waving too before they stepped into the van. The van could drive away without any craziness. “Man, let's hope they don't find out where our hotel is or it will get insane.”
David and Jeff grinned at the thought. They said goodbye in the hotel lobby and went all to sleep. Still not able to believe what happened a few minutes ago.
“Blaine, did you buy yourself a ring?”
Blaine looked up at Kurt. They had just showered and were ready to start a new day in Madrid. “No I didn't why?”
Kurt looked away shyly, his cheeks turning read.
“hmm? Kurt baby?”
“I just thought it would be nice that we both had one. You know, that way everyone knows we are both taken?”
Blaine chuckled. “We can look for one today if you like. But if I get one, I want you to choose it.”
That's how they walked into a jewellery store. Kurt was looking around at the rings the man in front of them showed. There was one that caught his eye though. It matched his and had a few little stones into it but was very simple.
Blaine was watching Kurt closely. “Anything that catches your eye?”
“Hmm, this one.” Kurt pointed towards the ring he was looking at. “It matches mine and it fits you somehow.”
Blaine looked a little closer at the ring and noticed that it indeed looked a little similar to Kurt's. He liked how Kurt looked at the details of everything. “We'll buy this one please. No need for a box as I'll wear it immediately.”
The man just laughed and let them pay for it. Blaine was about to place it on his ring finger when Kurt stopped him. “No way Blaine. Give it to me.”
Blaine was a little confused but laughed when Kurt placed the ring slowly on his finger. Before he let go of Blaine's hand, he pressed a kiss on the ring just like Blaine had done. “I like it.”
Blaine chuckled and took him out of the store. They were going to meet the boys at the hotel to go to the venue. Their management insisted that they checked the place before the concert. It was nice though to see it before it was filled with people.
The venue looked amazing. Blaine was looking around from the almost finished stage. He never would get over the feeling of this big venues. It was insane that so many people bought tickets to see them play a show. After all they were just four boys from Westerville that got a dream. He felt so lucky. It seemed like yesterday that they had decided to start the band.
Blaine, Wes, David and Jeff were hanging around in the dorm rooms. It was another lazy evening in Dalton. They didn't had much work and would just chill around. “Hey boys, what would you think if we start a band?”
All eyes were on him now. “How do you mean a band?”
Blaine just shrugged. “Wes and David play the guitar pretty well and you drums. I can sign pretty well and I want to stand one day on a stage and perform to many people, signing my own songs. It would be nice to share that with my friends.”
It was silent for a while and Blaine thought they were all thinking he was insane. “You really think we could make it that way?”
Jeff looked interested in the idea.
“Yeah, I don't think we'll play from day one in big venues but we can start little. And maybe one day we'll get a hit and become famous? Who knows.”
Everyone was looking at each other. “We could give it a try. Let's see how far we can go.”
Everyone agreed before they started to think about group names.
Kurt wrapped his arms around a very dreamy far-away looking Blaine. “Back to earth Blaine.”
Blaine looked down a little confused. “You were a little spaced out. What were you thinking about?”
“I was thinking about the day we decided to start a band. I would have never thought we would become this big.”
Kurt just chuckled. “You're good you know and hot which makes all the fans even more love you.”
Blaine hugged him tightly. “Tomorrow will be busy again.”
“Hmm, I'll look from beside again. I like it more though when you have free times.”
Blaine looked guilty. “I'm sorry. Part of the job. What do you do anyway when I have meet and greets?”
“I learn my script for my first Broadway show. Still unbelievable though.”
Blaine looked a little surprised. “You got that already? I didn't know?”
“Yeah, I got it a few days before we left. I must have forgotten it but it doesn't matter. You'll have to wait to see it in real.”
“I would want to miss if for anything in the world.”
They were kissing when David, Wes and Jeff came in the venue. “Oh man, not again. Keep it PG guys. There are people working in here.”
Blaine pulled away with a groan before snuggling into Kurt's chest. “They'll never leave us alone, will they?”
“I heard that man. Just give it a five minute break.” Jeff and David were just laughing with it.
“We aren't that bad you know?” All boys stopped what they were doing and were looking at Kurt and Blaine with unbelieving eyes.
“I bet you guys can't go an hour without kissing, cuddling and holding hands.”
“I bet it doesn't take half an hour, man.”
Jeff just stood beside, looking at David and Wes. He was so not getting into this. Blaine walked forward until he was standing close to them. “For how many?”
“Oh you are so going to lose this man! I'll give you fifty.”
“I'll give you the same. Let's shake hands to make this deal complete.”
Blaine shook Wes and David's hands. “Deal.”
Blaine sat down next to Kurt but wasn't touching him. They walked next to each other towards the car. Kurt was a winner and Blaine knew they both would win this. They were really careful. They entered the waiting car which would bring them to their hotel.
After last night, they had decided to eat in the hotel. Police one night was enough. Diner arrived, all boys observing Kurt and Blaine closely. Half an hour passed and Wes groaned. “I can't believe I have to pay you.”
“You better had said an hour like I did, I'm still running up for my money.”
Kurt and Blaine looked at each other smirking. Their deserts were eaten and there were still ten minutes left. David was getting desperate as he really didn't want to lose. He had thought about different plans like letting Kurt fall into Blaine's arms or by kicking Blaine's knee so Kurt would hug at him when he screamed but they were really controlled.
Blaine was looking at his watch with a big smile. “Time is up David, you better pay up.”
Wes and David pulled out their wallets and gave Blaine each fifty dollars. “Looks like we're going out when we're back in New York baby. It's on them.”
Kurt just chuckled and kissed him. Their hands found each other's on the table. “I can't believe they won this. I'll never ever bet again with you Blaine.”
“David, you told me the same last time you owed me twenty dollar.”David groaned at the memory.
“What did you guys bet for?” Blaine was now laughing so hard he couldn't talk.
Jeff decided to tell him the story. “It was during our first concert. Blaine had bet with David that he would be able to get more phone numbers from girls than David. David didn't believe him because well, the obvious that Blaine is gay. David ended up with two phone numbers and Blaine had like a pocket full of them.”
Blaine was still laughing hard while David mumbled something like buying people out. “Enough with the embarrassing stories. Common Wes and Jeff, let's go to our room. See you later boys.”
Blaine was still laughing but had enough power to lift his hand and wave at the boys. When Blaine calmed down, they went to their own room. They got ready for bed and were glad when they laid down.
“Blaine, may I ask you something?”
“Of course baby, what do you want to know.”
Kurt was playing with the blanket around his chest. “What did you do with the numbers?”
Blaine started to laugh really hard again. “I held them into my pocket until we were back at Dalton. There I took a canvas out of the art class and glued all the phone numbers on the canvas. It was almost David his birthday so I gave it to him as a joke. The boys loved it! It's still hanging in his apartment. Something we'll never forget and a memory of our first concert.”
Laughter was the only sound into the room. The noise turned down and they fell after a few minutes asleep.
The morning came early for all of them. Short's weren't worn today even though it was hot. The boys wore long pants for the meet and greets. Kurt was the only one who could wear his shorts. All boys were jealous of him.
They sound checked until they knew everything worked. The backstage room was pretty nice and big. Wes and David found the perfect idea to cool down. He went to the management to ask them if they would them some balloons.
After lunch, the balloons arrived. Wes and David filled a few and walked into the backstage room where Kurt, Blaine and Jeff were hanging around. They looked up but had no time to react. Wes his water balloon collided with Blaine and Kurt as they were all wrapped in each other again. Jeff got hit by David. They were laughing and running out of the room.
The wet boys followed them quickly. They found a lot of balloons into the room. It didn't take long or water balloons were thrown at everyone. Even some of the crew members got some in their face. It was nice to cool down.
When all balloons were done, Jeff took out his pic and let the management take a picture of them together. Just had a huge water battle. We're ready for the night Madrid!
It was a good thing that they all had brought new clothes with them. They all changed quickly. Blaine was wearing now dark ripped jeans with a white thank top. You could see all his muscles. Kurt got a little closer and traced one of the muscles with his finger.
Blaine just chuckled when he noticed what Kurt was doing. “Baby, you'll have lots of years to look at them but right now I have to go to the meet and greets.”
Kurt pouted a little but it disappeared soon when he was pushed against the wall. Blaine's hand held his hips as he stood as close as possible. All lost in each other, they didn't notice how David, Wes and Jeff came to see where Blaine was.
“JEEZ David, look at that.”
“Didn't Blaine said yesterday they weren't that bad?”
Blaine let go of Kurt who was turning red. “Ok ok, I'm coming guys. Just give me a minute.”
“Don't make us come back in here man. The consequences are all yours.”
Blaine groaned. He really had to go. He gave Kurt a last kiss on his forehead before walking to the meet and greet room.
Meet and greets had gone great. Everything went just like planned. Blaine, Jeff, David and Wes were now standing on the side, ready to jump on the stage. When it was time, they jumped on stage. “MADRIDDDDDDD!” The fans were screaming loudly. “Let's make a party what do you think?”
The fans were insane. There was a lot of screaming during the concert but also a few times they sang along. Like every night, the last song was something different. For today, they had water pistols. They stopped halfway through the show to sing acapella just like their good Dalton days. David and Wes were beat boxing, Blaine was signing and Jeff was backing up. It was nice and then they got their microphones for which they didn't need hands. The water pistols came up and a few fans were already screaming. Every boy took a side to empty their water gun. The stage was still turning around which left no fan on the first row dry. Their concert ended. They bowed a last time before leaving the stage. “See you next time Madrid!”
Kurt and Blaine were stepping into the van. Their luggage into the back. The last seat was for them as they were first to get it. Without a word they sat down and cuddled close together. Blaine placed a pillow against the window while Kurt snuggled against his chest. “Ready for Paris baby?”
Kurt looked up with a huge smile. “I can't wait.”
They kissed each other before snuggling down and falling asleep for the long drive.
