Author's Notes:

Hey everyone, A new chapter like promised. I know I posted it a little late but I just finished writing it. I wanted it to be sweet and romantic. Kurt left and I know you are all sad about that but it had to happen. I couldnt let Kurt stay with Blaine. Well I could, but it wouldnt fit the story that is in my head. 

Now this doesnt mean that Kurt wont appear in the story. The story will hold skype conversations, texts and pictures. So dont be sad. This is after all a Klaine story! 

I hope you enjoyed reading this though. Let me know. I appreciate reviews a lot. Thank you for everyone who reads my story and everyone who has ever reviewed it! It means a lot to me. I love you all x New chapter comming soon!

Their plane touched the ground. Blaine slowly woke Kurt with a kiss on his head. “Ready to wake up sleepy head. I don't understand how you always manage to fall asleep on a plane.”

Kurt opened his eyes slowly. “It's because you are my human pillow.”

Blaine chuckled. “Common, let's get out of this plane. We are in Greece! This means sun, sun and more sun. Common baby.”

Kurt slowly rubbed his eyes before standing up. “You just want to show all the people your pink sunglasses while walking through the city.”

Blaine smiled widely at him. “It's true and I'm proud of it. You have to admit, these were just made for me.”

Kurt shook his head laughing. “You're such a dork.”

“You love me.”

“Always Blaine. Don't you dare to forget.”

Blaine placed a kiss on his lips. “Common baby.”

He takes their hand luggage from the cabins before holding out his hand for Kurt to take.

 

The airport is busy. Everywhere are people walking around. Nicholas stayed close, walking behind them. Looking around for any possible danger.

Blaine hated it. He didn't want to feel scared half of the time. After all he was still just Blaine.

They walked to the baggage claim to get their bags. The car was already waiting for them. Everyone hopped in before driving to the hotel.

 

Once in the hotel, they decided to fresh up a little and then go for a walk through the city. It was way too hot. Kurt and Blaine changed in some shorts and tank tops before walking out their room. David, Wes and Jeff were already waiting there with Nicholas.

They walked a little through the city. Admiring the buildings and the authentically style. Everyone was turning sweaty and tired when they found a huge park. They found a place in the shadows near a fountain.

Blaine threw off his shirts before sitting down in the grass. He was having way too hot.

Kurt already lay down on the ground with his eyes closed. Blaine lay down next to him, his head on his chest. “Blaine, I love you very much but it's way too hot for your warmth to mix with mine.”

Blaine looked pouting at Kurt only to realise that he had his never opened his eyes while talking. Blaine grinned and slowly moved his hand under Kurt's tank top. “But baby, you made me your human pillow in the plane now you'll be mine.”

David, Wes and Jeff rolled their eyes while faking gag sounds.

Blaine didn't care and slowly moved his hand higher up until he found Kurt's ticklish point. Very carefully he slowly started to move his fingers. Kurt started to giggle. “Common Blaine, not funny.”

Blaine started laughing with Kurt's giggling. It was the most adorable sound in the world. He never got bored of it.

Kurt opened his eyes when he felt like he couldn't breathe anymore from laughing. He smiled up at Blaine. “You win.”

“I always do baby.” Blaine almost lay on top of him when he started to kiss his lips slowly.

“Common man, you're in public.”

Blaine grinned, placing a last kiss on Kurt's cheek. “I just want to enjoy my last stop in Europe with my boyfriend. You should let me enjoy this and give me a moment.”

The boys mumbled some kind of agreement.

Blaine lay on his back, looking at the blue sky. “I'm glad we still have these relax and silent moments during our tour. It's nice.”

The boys hummed their agreement.

They were all lying down, enjoying the piece when they heard the first scream. A girl started to scream but no one understood what she was saying. No one had been in Greece before after all.

It didn't take long before a large group of girls and a few boys encircled the group. “Is it my thoughts and imaginary or is that a whole fan club that was looking for all of you.”

They shrugged before sitting up. Kurt threw Blaine his tank top which received a chuckle from Blaine. He thought it was adorable how Kurt would still get these little jealousy things. He knew for sure that Kurt threw him the tank top because he didn't want other people to touch his abs.

The fans all got a little time with Blaine, Wes, David and Jeff. Nicholas always stayed close to ensure their safety. Blaine posed on so many pictures and signed many papers.

When they had given everyone some time, they asked polity to get some rest again. Most fans understood and gave them their space while others stayed close.

With a sigh, Blaine turned back to Kurt. Kurt still lay down, the only chance was that he had placed his tank top in their backpack. He looked so beautiful in the sunlight. So at piece.

Blaine sat down next to him, removing his own tank top, before laying down with his ear over his heart. Slowly tracing patterns on Kurt's chest. Yeah, today was a perfect day.

 

The sun had slowly gone down, when they walked out of the park. They walked through the streets, looking for a perfect place for dinner.

Nicholas pointed towards a restaurant at the end of the street. It looked good outside and there weren't much people inside which would give them their privacy.

A waiter gave them a menu. Kurt choose for some salad with feta cheese while the other boys wanted to try the gyros. Their plates were brought.

Kurt slowly ate his salad. Every once in a while, a small piece of meat would appear in his salad. He looked around to find the guilty one but everyone was busy talking.

A new piece appeared when he saw Blaine look at him. A lot of questions filled the look he gave Blaine. “I just want you to eat not only that salad. I know you love to eat those things but you need a bit of meat every once in a while.”

Kurt pressed a kiss on his cheek. “Always the worrier. I'm fine Blaine. No need to worry. But thank you.”

Blaine smiled before eating further.

 

Morning came early. The boys slowly made their way to the breakfast.

The plan for the day was mapped out. Today they would go to the acropolis. They all went back to their rooms to get their stuff for the day.

Blaine placed some cookies in his backpack and two bottles of water. One for him and one for Kurt. As last, he put some sunscreen in his bag.

Kurt was still busy putting some on his face and arms and legs. Blaine walked up behind him.

“Let me do your shoulder baby.” Kurt gave Blaine the bottle of sunscreen. Before he started to put some on his shoulder, he placed a few kisses on Kurt's neck. Ready for their day to begin.

 

The acropolis looked nice. They had walked up and were looking all over Athena. 

A lot of pictures were taken. There were the silly pictures, most taken with David, Jeff and Wes. Then there were the smiling pictures where everyone looked all happy and the few romantic ones that Nicholas had taken from Blaine and Kurt.

When Blaine got his camera back, he looked at all the pictures. “We should totally make a photo album with all of these when we're home. If one day I lose my camera, we'll still have them, like forever.”

Kurt smiled, looking over Blaine's shoulder with his arms around him. “I like this one. It's like we're alone in the world.”

Blaine smiled at him. He loved the picture. Kurt had his arms around Blaine's waist and they looked at each other like they were the only people in the world. It was perfect. “Yeah, I love this one. It will probably be my new screensaver once we are home.”

Kurt grinned. “Yeah, I see that totally happen. Or you'll make a collage with all our pictures.”

“Actually that isn't a bad idea.”

A laugh escaped Kurt's throat. “My dorky boyfriend who I love so much. Common let's follow Jeff, David and Wes. They could totally get lost here.”

Blaine chuckled. “Yeah that totally could happen. Common baby.”

They followed behind Nicholas into the acropolis.

 

Blaine and Kurt followed Wes, David and Jeff. They were pointing at everything and taking pictures. Blaine knew that by the end of the day, their card would be full.

Kurt slowly walked next to him. Looking at everything. Imagining how the people lived in the past, how they dressed.

Sometimes he wondered how it would be like to live in another time. To leave in a totally different environment, except that the world is still the same.

Blaine followed Kurt's looks. “What are you thinking about?”

Blue eyes met his hazel ones. “I am thinking about the people who walked here so many years before. How this place must have looked then. Don't you that something? Just think about the past and imagining how it was, wishing you could go back in time and even if it was just for one day, walk around and talk with those people. Hear their stories?”

Blaine thought for a while. “You always zig when you're about to zag, don't you? Sometimes I think I totally figured you out and you tell me something like that and make me even fall more in love with you, even though I think it isn't possible. You're so thoughtful. I love that about you.”

Kurt smiled up at him. “But to answer your question. Yes, I would love to go back in time. I would love to hear other people there stories, get to know a lot of people. And maybe one day we'll be able but even if we could, I think I wouldn't do it. Because right now, I'm the happiest man alive. I have everything I want. I have the most amazing friends, even though I wouldn't tell them for any money in the world. I have a career where so many people only could dream of. I have a house to live in, the possibility to go around the world. And most of all, I have the most beautiful, amazing fiancé in the world. So yes, I'd love to go back but only if I knew that I would get all this back when I returned because it's something I wouldn't give up.”

Kurt whipped a small tear away. “Now you got me speechless.”

Blaine smiled at him, not knowing what to say either. Just walking further and further in the old building.

 

They walked towards an amphitheatre. It looked amazing.

Kurt walked up the small steps, Blaine following close behind. They found a place to sit. Kurt lay his head on Blaine's shoulder.

David, Wes and Jeff were still standing down the stairs.

“So if we were born so many years before, we would have been standing on this stage. If we still were artists of course.”

Blaine grinned. “Or I would be in the crowd. Cheering for my favourite boy in the play who stole many of hearts while leaving his heart on the stage.”

Kurt smiled at him. “I'm pretty sure you would have been an artist to though. So we would both be cheering for each other, like we are now.”

“I like your thoughts.” They looked over the city, the stage.

Kurt cheeks were turning a little red. “Baby, let me put some more sun screen on your face. I think you're burning a little.”

Kurt groaned. “You got to be kidding me. I'm like the only one who put that thing on himself and no one of you is already burned. When did life get so unfair.”

Blaine chuckled. “Well at least you have me to put it on you. Now close your eyes so I can put some on you.”

Kurt closed his eyes and let Blaine take care of him. Blaine massaged the sunscreen in his skin before pressing a last kiss on his nose. “All done baby. Common let's go back downstairs. The boys are waiting for us.”

Blaine walked before Kurt. Holding his hand as they walked down the little steps. They were almost there when Kurt's sneaker hung after a stone. He fell forward if it wasn't for Blaine jumping back and catching him. “Got you baby.”

“That was close.”

Blaine grinned. “I would never let you fall. You know that.”

They took the last steps before returning back to the hotel. Tired of their day out, they almost immediately fell asleep.

 

It was the day before the concert. They checked up the concert venue.

Blaine had a nagging feeling. The night before, they had all come together and decided to leave the things that might be not safe out of their concerts. Tomorrow would be a regular concert.

Blaine hated it. He felt like he let the fans down. They expected after all something special.

On the other side, he wanted to be safe. He could have fallen, he could have been hurt but he was still alive. He didn't trust anything on the stage anymore.

Nicholas went in every room as first. Looking for possible things that could go wrong. Everything a room was safe, he felt Kurt let out a breath.

The venue looked just as awesome as every other one had. Huge was the only appropriate word. Everything looked as perfect as always. The instruments were standing ready for the show.

Blaine took a guitar and sat down on the side of the stage. Trying a few new tunes.

Kurt, Wes, Jeff and David turned around when they heard the first few notes. Everything that had happened the past few weeks, would lead for sure to a new song. They couldn't wait to hear the result.

Blaine didn't notice how someone came to sit beside him until he started to speak. “It sounds amazing Blaine.”

Blaine looked up at the voice. “Well thank you Joseph.”

Joseph looked around the place until he found Kurt. “It was nice seeing you again.”

Blaine watched suspiciously when he walked to Kurt. He didn't like it but well at least Kurt wasn't standing alone.

When the place had an ok, they left to spend the afternoon at the hotel pool. They said their goodbyes before leaving the venue.

 

“I love pools man! Blaine how does it come that you have this huge penthouse but no pool in the entire building.”

Blaine pushed the pink sunglasses on his head. “Wes, if you want a pool, you look for a place with a pool. Why should I have a pool when you have as much money as I have.”

“Because you could give amazing parties man! You know how many girls would come to a pool party?”

Blaine chuckled. “You know I don't care about that. I rather watch my boyfriend and you know it.”

Wes rolled his eyes before diving in the pool. He started messing around with David who was messing around with Jeff.

Blaine chuckled and pushed his sunglasses back on his nose. “Good times, good times!”

Kurt giggled. He nestled closer under Blaine his chin. “I can't believe tomorrow is our last”

A finger was placed on his mouth. “If you finish that sentence I will not talk to you anymore the whole night. Let's just enjoy this moment. I don't even want to think about it yet.”

A kiss was placed on his finger. “Ok Blaine. Let's enjoy now.”

 

Wes knocked on the door. “Common Love birds! It's time to get going. We have fans to entertain today!”

Blaine opened the door, Kurt following behind him. “Ok let's go. Let's hope today nothing happens.”

Kurt held his hand a little tighter. “Don't even think about it.”

The van was already waiting. Ready to leave to the venue.

 

Kurt grinned when he saw Blaine take a guitar. Tonight Blaine would play a little with the boys on the guitar. They had never done that before.

Kurt loved it when Blaine played the guitar. Like those quiet evenings when they were alone. Blaine would sit rarely on the coach with his acoustic guitar. He would play tunes, own written melodies or just well-known songs. He could pull of everything.

Blaine tried the guitar before placing the microphone stand. The sounds of words filled the venue. And then Blaine opened his mouth and started signing. It was perfect. The fans  would go insane.

Kurt couldn't stop laughing when Blaine started to head bang on stage while trying to sing. Little drops of sweat flew around the venue. He was such a dork. He loved it.

Without thinking, he took out his phone and started filming the whole thing. When he thought the song was almost done, he took a picture. Blaine looked so happy, so at ease. Kurt saved it as his new background for when he was back in New York. So he had Blaine close.

He played with the ring on his finger. He didn't want to think about it. They still had a little time after all.

The last notes of the song left the venue. Blaine ran towards him. “So what do you think?”

“I think the fans will go insane Blaine. You're amazing up there.”

Blaine grinned and helped him on his feet. His arms wrapped around Kurt's waist. Nis nose nuzzled in the crook of his neck. “I love you.”

“I love you too Blaine.”

They held close until David interrupted them. “Common guys. You're lucky it's me that comes and get you. Wes wanted to break you up. It's time for FOOD.”

Laughing they walked to the backstage room to get some sandwiches.

 

Meet and greets went great. Kurt was waiting like every other day in the backstage room since his almost fall. Blaine gave him a peck before changing clothes. He warmed his voice up a little while waiting to get on stage.

When they got the sign, he pressed a last kiss on Kurt's lips before running to the stage. “Hello Greece. It's a pleasure to be here! What do you think, let's get started?” And the venue went wild.

 

Song after song went great. The venue danced and signed and it was one huge party.

The first tunes of their single words filled the venue. It was so loud that no one heard the bang above them. If Blaine hadn't jumped to the side while doing some moves, he would have been out.

He screamed when the spot hit the floor right next to him. Glass flew around when the spot hit the ground.

It didn't take long before Nicholas was on stage. The turning of the stage was stopped. Nicholas leaded them back to the backstage. No one was hurt, which was a good thing.

Their manager found them in the backstage room. Kurt leaning against a wall, looking very pale. “Boys, what do you want to do?”

Blaine shrugged before walking to Kurt. “Are you ok baby? Open your eyes. Your worrying me.”

Kurt opened his eyes slowly. “How can I leave when you're in danger Blaine. I can't leave you like this.”

A tear travelled down his cheek. “Baby, we can talk about this tonight, ok? You have to leave. I'm not letting you stay here when you have a chance to be huge in New York. I would never hold you back like that. Now you have to take a deep breath before you pass out.”

He pressed his forehead against Kurt's. Kurt breathed with him. Slow breaths. Blaine pressed a kiss on his temple. “Now baby,  you don't have to worry so much. I'm fine and I'm going back on stage. It's only one song left and I can't let the fans down. They paid for this. Now you relax and I'll be back before you know it.”

Before Kurt could protest, he grabbed Jeff and Wes by the arm. David following close behind. Blaine ran back on the stage. Nicholas far gone. “Now everyone, sorry for letting you wait. There was a little problem with the installation but everything seems fine for now. We have one more song left. What would you think about not alone?”

Blaine grabbed a guitar and started to play along. Like expected, the whole crowd blew up. Everyone screamed and sign along. During the last chorus, everyone pulled out paper hearts in the air. It looked amazing. Blaine took out his phone and took pictures of it all. He would never forget this last song.

 

Kurt was sitting on the ground. His head in his hands. A hand was placed on his shoulder. He looked up in those hazel eyes he loved so much. “Common baby, tonight only just begun.”

Blaine walked him towards a second waiting car. They stepped inside. Ready for their last night.

 

Blaine helped Kurt out of the car. They were standing near a port. Little boats were laying aside. The port was lighted up with candles and lanterns. In the middle of the port stood a table with two chairs. It looked magical.

Blaine walked him towards the table. He held out a chair for Kurt. A waiter came out of a near restaurant with two plates. On it was laying lobster. A white wine was poured into their glasses. “I wanted our last night in Europe to be perfect. I know what happened tonight might that impossible. But I'll try to make at least this moment as close to perfect as possible.”

Kurt grinned. They ate their lobster in a comfortable lobster.

When they were finished, music started to play. Blaine stood up and held his hand out for Kurt. “May I have this dance?”

Kurt took his hand and stood up. Immediately he was pulled into a tight embrace. Blaine his arms were wrapped tightly around his waist. Like he never wanted to let go. Kurt wrapped his arms around Blaine's neck. His head nuzzled in Blaine his shoulder.

Soft whispers filled his ear. Their engagement song. “Cause all of me, loves all of you. Love your curves and all your edges. All your perfect imperfections. Give your all of me, I'll give my all to you. Even when I lose, I'm winning cause I give you all of me and you give me all of you.”

Kurt smiled into Blaine's shoulder. “Your perfect.”

Blaine kissed his forehead. “Just like you.”

 

The next morning came way to early. Before they knew it, Kurt and Blaine were standing at the airport. Both with a different bag. The only difference was that they both would take a different flight. Kurt had tried to talk Blaine out of it the night before, but Blaine didn't want him to stay.

Kurt cuddled closer into Blaine's side. Trying to save the memory for lonely nights in their huge home. “I don't want to leave.”

Blaine's fingers played with his hair. “But you have to. I'm not letting you stay here when I'm totally capable of taking care of myself. You have to go baby. You have a dream to follow. I will not hold you back. You have to shine.  You are a star.  You need to be on stage, show the world who Kurt Hummel is. Before we know it, this month is over and I'll be there with you. I'll even go to a few of your practices if you like. I want to be there Kurt, every step. I want to see you on that stage, to hear the crowd applaud and scream your name. To be even more proud then I'm already am. Baby, you have to go. I'll be fine.”

Kurt sighed. His fingers tracing Blaine's abs. “I'll miss you. Every day, I'll be at home alone. A cold bed, no one to talk to. Missing your hugs, your I love yous. Being around you.”

Kurt looked up at Blaine. “It's strange to think I didn't know you a little more than a year ago. I'm so used at being around you. It will be strange.”

“I know baby. I'll miss you too. But I'll Skype you every time you are online and we can text. I'll send you pictures of everything that happens so you'll feel like you're just here next to me like this moment. Now let's get some sleep. Tomorrow will come way to early.” Blaine pressed a last kiss on Kurt's lips before they both fell asleep.

A tear fell down Blaine's cheek. “Hey, you can't cry. I wanted to stay,  you told me to leave.”

Blaine chuckled. “That doesn't mean I want you to go. I don't want to hold you back. I love you too much to do that.”

He wrapped his arms around Kurt's waist. They just stood there. Holding close to each other in the middle of the airport. Clinging at each other. Kurt his flight was announced.

Kurt let go of Blaine. “I have to go.”

“I know.” They just looked at each other for a while until Blaine held him close again and pressed his lips against Kurt's.

When the flight was announced for a second time he let go. “Now go. If you don't go now, I don't think I'll ever let you go.”

Kurt nodded. He pressed a last kiss on Blaine's cheek. Tears streaming down both their faces. “I'll call you when I'm home. I'll miss you Blaine. Be safe.”

His last words, before he stepped into his gate. Ready to go back to New York.

 

 

Blaine found Wes, Jeff and David at their gate a little further. They saw Blaine his red eyes and tearfully cheeks. “Common Blaine. A month won't be so long man. You always have us you know!”

Blaine chuckled a little. “I know. Now let's get on our plane. Kiev, here we come.”

Blaine turned around one last time, looking at the gate where Kurt had left a few minutes ago. A month, he could survive right?
