Week after week went by. Kurt played show after show, trying to enjoy it as much as possible. He hated how his first big show was ruined by it all. Every night, he would bring home the same bouquet of black roses before they would bring all of them at the end of the week to the police office. They always smiled in a sympathy way to him but in the end, the police didn't find a thing yet.
The worst night was the night they found out about the countdown. Blaine had told Kurt he needed to call his dad. Kurt hadn't want to. He didn't want to worry his dad but in the end he knew Blaine was right. He couldn't keep this from his dad, not when they didn't know what was going to happen when the roses stopped. Blaine had sat down on their bed with Kurt. On each night table stood on a mug with warm milk. Kurt was sitting down between Blaine's legs. With shaking hands, he called the well-known number. When his dad's voice came through the phone, he knew he couldn't do it so Blaine took over the phone and just held him while he talked with his dad on speaker phone. He tried to explain everything as best as possible and assured Burt that he wouldn't leave Kurt alone at the show, just as he had promised Kurt. Because there was no way he would leave the person he had been looking for forever on his own through this. There was no way he was going to let the person one step closer to Kurt. They assured Burt that he wouldn't have to come to New York and instead made plans to go back to Ohio once the show was over. They had said there goodbye's before Kurt had fallen asleep in Blaine his arms, exhausted from all the stress.
Kurt was walking around the backstage. It was the last night of the show. He felt nervous. Blaine was looking at Kurt from the couch. If he was completely honest with himself, he knew he was nervous as well. But he had to be the stronger one. No matter what happened at the end of the day. “Kurt, baby, come here.” Blaine opened his arms so Kurt could sit on his lap. Kurt walked over and sat down, cuddling close to Blaine when he wrapped his arms around him. Blaine pressed a kiss on his shoulder. “Everything will be ok baby. You know there will be police tonight.” Kurt just nodded against his chest. Blaine gently cupped Kurt's cheek so he would look him in the eyes. “Tomorrow, when we are in Ohio, I want us to look into things for our wedding. Because if today is only an indication, it shows me that I want to marry you as soon as possible.” Kurt pressed a kiss against his lips. “I think we can manage that.” Blaine hugged him tightly until the voice came through the speakers, telling Kurt it was time to make it one last time on the huge stage.
Kurt bowed a last time on the stage. Everywhere were people standing up, applauding for him one last time. He was given flowers from their director, white little flowers. They were beautiful. Kurt whipped away a tear that made his way down his cheek. It felt weird, knowing his first show ever was done, but he was also happy, knowing there were others to come. He was about to turn around and walk of the stage when he was wrapped into a big hug including all his cast mates and a few backstage people. Yes, this would be something he would never forget.
When he came backstage, all his cast mates came along. Blaine was already waiting in there, ready for them to go. When everyone came in, Blaine proposed they would all go to diner, one last time. Everyone quickly agreed and went to their own rooms to get ready and wash the make-up from their faces. Blaine walked over to Kurt with a huge smile on his face. “Looks like tonight went great?” Kurt nodded. “Yeah, It was amazing. I'm going to miss it though.” Blaine pressed a kiss against his cheeks. “There will be so much more to come. This isn't the end, it's the beginning.”
They walked around the corner, towards the restaurant, happy that nothing had happened yet. They hoped things would stay like this. All their cast mates were already waiting for them in the restaurant as Kurt had to give some autographs and take some pictures. Being the star as it was his last huge night. They all sat down when the champagne arrived. Blaine wanted to celebrate this properly. When everyone got a glass, he stood up and ticked with a tiny spoon against the glass until everyone looked up. “Thank you everyone for coming along. I want to congratulate everyone on what you guys have already done. It was one of the best versions of the show I have ever seen. I want to toast on that. But I also want to toast on Kurt. Because I've never been more proud of him.” Blaine turned around and looked at Kurt. “Because you managed to live your dreams, to fight for them. Because you are so much better than anyone I've ever known. Because you didn't let them talk you down. But most of all because you are freaking talented and I know there will be more shows and as many times as their will be shows, there will be times I'll be sitting in the audience. Just by then I'll be your husband. I love you.” Everyone toasted and Kurt smiled happy to Blaine, a few tears in his eyes. “Thank you Blaine. I love you too.” Blaine pressed a kiss on his cheek. Kurt stood up when Blaine sat down. “I want to thank you all, for giving me this opportunity. I'm so glad I could experience this and I hope we can stay in touch after all this months of working together. Thank you for everything.” Their food arrived and everyone was reliving memories of their show nights.
It was during their dessert that Blaine his phone went off. Blaine walked towards the back to take it. “Hello, Blaine Anderson speaking.” It was quiet for a while when the voice of a man came through it. “Sir Anderson, Im police from the New York department. Tonight there was an burglary in your house.” Blaine almost let drop his phone. In all those years he lived there, something like that had never happened. “How do you mean? How bad is it?” The police answered almost immediately. “We have no idea, that's why we need you to come along and check everything for us. We went through your home, but we didn't see anyone.” Blaine walked back to the table. “I'll be there in a few minutes. Thanks for calling me immediately.” Blaine took his jacket from his seat when he felt Kurt his hand on his wrist. “Where are you going?” “Kurt, we need to go home. There was a burglary in our home. We need to check if everything is still there.” Kurt just nodded. He got into his own jacket before waving everyone goodbye and stopping a cab to go back to their house.
A lot of police men were walking around the building. Blaine and Kurt went inside, holding hands. When they arrived into their house, nothing seemed off. It wasnt until they walked into their bedroom. All over the floor were their pictures. Each one of them was ripped in the middle. Making Blaine and Kurt separate. Blaine looked in schok around the bedroom. All the pictures with his friends were still hanging. This was only an indication that this wasnt good. One of the police man stood next to Blaine. Kurt was sitting on the ground, looking at the pictures. Blaine turned around to the man. "Im not sure but I think this has something to do with all the bouquets Kurt has gotten every night after every show. Every week the same thing. It is the only thing thats wrong in our penthouse as far as I can see. Nothing has been stolen as far as I can see." The police man nodded and took some pictures of the room. "If I were you sir, I would stay away from here for a bit. It is obvious not safe anymore. Do you have somewhere to go?" Blaine nodded. "Yeah, well figure something out." The police man explained him that they would stay until they left and look meanwhile to the security fragments downstairs. Meanwhile they could pack their bags before they left.
Blaine placed the last necassary piece of clothing into their second bag before he kneeled down in front of Kurt. Kurt was looking at his favourite picture. The one of them in Athene. Blaine gently placed his hands at each side of his face. "Kurt baby, are you ready to go? Lets go somewhere only we know, ok?" Kurt just nodded. Blaine took his hand and helped him to his feet. They left their penthouse with one last look back.
Blaine walked as fast as he could through the airport. They had gotten last minute tickets to go to Ohio. Blaine hoped Kurt would feel better when he saw his family. During the drive to the airport, he hadnt said a thing. Blaine had taken his time to warn Burt and ask him to pick them up at the airport. He had also texted the boys just to let them know he wouldnt be in New York anymore and would contact them later. They arrived at the terminal and checked in. Once on the plane, Kurt fell immediately asleep. Blaine was glad to see him asleep. Glad he could get away for a bit.
Kurt woke up a little before the plaine touched the ground. Blaine pressed a kiss on his forehead. Once of the plane, they went for their baggage before looking for Burt. Burt was waiting by the doors with Carole and Finn. Kurt didnt run towards them like he ussual did. He just walked next to Blaine until they were by his family. Burt wrapped Kurt in his arms and thats when he broke down. Blaine looked worried at Burt who looked just as worried. They dragged Kurt out of the airport towards their waiting car. Burt tossed the keys to Finn, asking him to drive. Burt stepped in the backseat together with Kurt and Blaine. Kurt still closely hugged by his dad. Blaine hated feeling this useless but was glad that Burt was here and Kurt had somewhere to feel safe. Blaine decided to get some rest, knowing Burt would take care of Kurt. He closed his eyes and let the world glip away.
Blaine was laying comfortable. He turned around and wrapped himself more in the warm blanket. Blaine opened his eyes, looking around. It took him a bit to realise he was in Kurt his room. He rubbed his eyes and settled back against the pillows. Kurt was nowhere to be seen. Blaine took his phone out of his pocket. He had missed a few calls. All of them from Wes, Jeff and David. With a sigh he decided to call Wes. It didnt take to long before he picked up. "Blaine where the hell are you?" Blaine felt bad for worrying his friends. "Im with Kurt. Last night there was a bulgary in our penthouse. They have no idea how someone could get in but it is apperantly possible. I had to leave with Kurt. It isnt safe in New York for us at the moment. You know Id do anything to keep him safe." It was silent on the other side. "And you are safe now?" "Yes Wesley. We are safe now. And as soon as we figured everything out, Ill promise well be back in New York." He heard a sigh on the other side and just knew that Wes was sitting on the side of his bed with his hands in his hair. "Ok Blaine. Just be safe please. We hear you soon." The line went dead. Blaine placed his phone on the side table before turning around again, hoping he could get away from the mess a little bit longer.
Kurt sat down on the coach next to his dad and Carole. He had managed to tell them about everything that had happened. Of course they were both in schock. Not knowing how things had turned out like this. It took Burt and Carole a lot to comfort Kurt. It was Carole who spoke first. "You can stay as long as you want Kurt. You know that right? And well figure it out. You and Blaine arent alone in this." Kurt nodded and wrapped her in a hug. "I know. Thank you. Its just, Im not scared about me. If the person would have wanned to do something to me, he would have gotten so many chances. Im scared that something will happen to Blaine. I cant lose him." Burt stood up and sat down beside him, hugging his son thightly. "Everything will be ok Kurt. Now go to your man and wake him up. We have a lot to discuss."
Blaine woke up from a soft kiss on his cheek. He felt a warm pair of arms around his waist, pulling him closely. Blaine snuggled closer into the warmth. He heard a chuckle from behind him. "Its time to wake up Blaine." Blaine just cuddled closer. He felt a hand going through his hair. It felt perfectly. "Just a little longer." Kurt laughed. "You are such a morning person sweetie." Blaine turned around before opening his eyes. He looked up into those blue eyes he loved so much. "I know." He pressed a kiss against Kurt his lips. He was so happy to see that Kurt wasnt as closed off as he was the night before. Kurt moved his lips against Blaines lips. Pulling him a little closer, not wanting to let go yet. It was Blaine who let go first. He hugged Kurt and placed his head in the crook of Kurts neck. "My dad wants to talk to the both of us. I guess he wants to discuss the options and the next steps." Blaine nodded. "I think that thats a good idea. Let me take a shower first ok? Then Ill join you guys." He pressed a last kiss against Kurt his lips before walking towards the bathroom, ready for the welcome shower.
Burt, Carole, Kurt and Blaine were all sitting in the living room. Kurt and Blaine shared the loveseat while Burt sat in the only one-seat. Carole was sitting on his lap. Burt was the first one to speak. "So I know what happend from Kurt. Now I like to know if you have heard something from the police station Blaine." Blaine shook his head. "No nothing yet. I hope to hear from them soon though. I cant wait for this to be over. This should be happy period. We should be planning our wedding." He was looking at Kurt now. Kurt smiled sweetly at him and pressed a kiss against his cheek. "Anyway, I was thinking about calling the police station later myself to hear if they have more news." Burt nodded in agreement. "Well, as long as we dont have more news, I want you guys to be carefull. I know things happened in New York but we dont know who is doing all this things so you should both be carefull. Now we also want you guys to enjoy staying here. You can stay as long as possible. Lets just make the best of this, ok?" They both nodded to Burt. "Now lets eat lunch. I missed your cooking skills buddy." Kurt just grinned and followed Carole in the kitchen.
Kurt was sitting on the coach with Carole. They were watching project runway together. All of them had agreed to spend the day as a lazy afternoon. At first they had some movies all together before Finn, Burt and Blaine had dissapeared. Kurt was looking at the latest creation when he felt a pair of arms wrapp around his neck from behind him. A kiss was pressed against his cheek and he immediately relaxed in the touch. Blaine his lips weere close to his ear. "Common baby, I have a surprise for you." Kurt slowly turned around and pressed a kiss against Blaines lips before following him.
Together they walked hand in hand. Kurt followed Blaine, no idea where they were going. They were walking through a forest when Blaine stopped. He pulled away the last branch before they stepped into a small open place. It looked beautiful. In the middle of the place lay a blanket and little white lamps were placed in the trees. "I used to come to this place when I was younger and I come back here almost every time I come to visit my parents or a concert of anything. It was my safe heaven through everything and I thought this could become our place. You know, somewhere to feel safe. Somewhere to come back to when we wanted some time alone." He turned to Kurt and placed his hands around his face. "I thought it would be nice for us to get away for one night about everything, without worrying about everything." He kissed Kurt slowely before taking his hand again and walking towards the blanket. Blaine lay down on the blanket and signed for Kurt to do the same. Kurt lay down next to Blaine. His head rested on Blaine his chest. Above them a thousand stars were shining. Blaine started to slowly mumble a melody. Kurt looked at Blaine. "New song?" Blaine just smiled. "Maybe." Kurt looked back at the stars. "Let me hear it?" Blaines lips were pressed close to his ear when he started to whisper the words.
I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete
Oh simple thing where have you gone
Im getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when youre gonna let me in
Im getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that Ive been dreaming of?
Oh simple thing where have you gone
Im getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when youre gonna let me in
Im getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
And if you have a minute why dont we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why dont we go
Somewhere only we know?
The silence came over them as they both looked at the stars. "I love it Blaine. Thank you for this. It was exactly what I needed." Blaine let his fingers go through Kurt his hair. "You never have to thank me for anything like this. I love you and I always will." They lay there a little longer, just enjoying the silence, the stars and the feeling of being together.
It was late at night when they walked through the door of the Hummel house. There was still light in the living room. Burt was sitting in the living room with Carole. Both looking up and happy to see Kurt more relax. "So had a great evening boys?" They both nodded. It was that moment his phone decided to go off. Blaine excused himself and went to another room. "Goodevening, Blaine Anderson speaking." "Goodevening sir Anderson. Youre speaking with agent Jones. I have some news for the both of you. We took a closer look through the security videos. We found two figures who arent recognised by any of the security people. We cant see their faces but we can see the figures and hope you guys can maybe recognise somebody. Well need you guys back in New York as soon as possible." Blaine didnt want to go back to Kurt, not when it wasnt safe, but they had no chose. He agreed before ending the call. He walked back in the room to see all faces looking at him. "Looks like we need to go back to New York, baby."
