Kurt let go of Blaine's hand and left him standing there for just a moment as he quickly ran back to the car to grab his camera out of the backseat. He and Blaine had tons of photos of them together, their memories and special moments preserved for all time. He knew that he would want Blaine to look back on today and remember how much fun they were going to have during times when things were tough with his family, when they would fight, when he was feeling lonely. He wanted Blaine to remember them, their love, and their joy when they were together.

Turning back towards Blaine, he snapped a photo of Blaine standing in the middle of the grassy parking lot and saw Blaine immediately get nervous.

He sure does hate having his photo taken sometimes, he laughed to himself. He positioned his camera perfectly on Blaine's face to ensure that he would capture the perfect shot of when Blaine opened his eyes and saw where they were.

"Okay, you can open your eyes!" Kurt practically screamed from behind the lens. He chuckled when Blaine was obviously hesitant to open his eyes. Kurt had done a good job at providing him no clues as to where they were. In the short amount of time from last night to this morning, everything seemed to fall perfectly into place.

Blaine's eyes creaked open and Kurt's finger pulsed the button feverishly, capturing each moment. Once Blaine's eyes were fully open, Kurt got the image he wanted – Blaine's child-like smile with eyes full of wonder. Immediately after, Kurt captured the second photo he wanted – the one of Blaine looking at Kurt with loving eyes and a heart-warming smile.

Yup, I've still got it, Kurt thought as he mentally patted himself on his back.

"Kurt!" Blaine exclaimed, and swiftly reached out to hug Kurt. "How did you know that I've always wanted to come here!?"

Kurt turned around to face the sign Blaine was just looking at.

Suter's Produce & Corn Maze

"Honestly, I had no idea that you always wanted to come here. But you have the heart of a child, so I figured you'd like to do the corn maze. Plus, they have other fun things to do like shoot apples out of a mini-canon and tractor rides." He paused, trying not to make Blaine feel overwhelmed. "I know it's not a super romantic day, but –"

Kurt was immediately cut of with Blaine's lips pushing against his own in a thankful kiss. As Blaine pulled away, Kurt was enchanted by the huge grin on his boyfriend's face. He had definitely made the right choice that day.

"Thank you," he said, looking Kurt directly in the eyes. "It's perfect. And it's something that doesn't happen year round, so it feels extra special. Plus, who doesn't love apple picking and cider samplings?"

He laughed. He was so glad to see that Blaine's wide smile had replaced the worried looks from last night. He continued to smile as he gazed into Blaine's eyes as his boyfriend reached his hand out, hoping to intertwine his fingers with Kurt's.

"Shall we go?" Blaine asked.

"Yes, sir!" Kurt insisted as he took Blaine's hand and headed toward the entrance.

Kurt had spent the morning calling ahead to the orchard to see if he and Blaine could have time together before it opened to the public at one. The owner agreed since his crew needed to spend the morning prepping a small kid's area that they were planning in preparation for the Halloween crowds. Kurt ensured that he and his boyfriend would be on their best behavior and promised to purchase at least two bushels of apples and a jug of cider to bring back to Lima. The owner didn't seem to even flinch at the mention of his boyfriend and was thankful that he would at least have one buyer at the orchard that day.

Keeping his word, Kurt entered the orchard's shop and selected three bushels of apples, some for baking and others for eating. He knew that although he didn't live at home and wouldn't personally be using the apples, between Carole and Mrs. A, they would definitely be utilized properly. After trying out a few samples of cider, Kurt and Blaine decided on a cinnamony cider and asked the cashier to hold their goods while they roamed the corn maze. The woman smiled at them warmly, something they didn't expect from rural Ohio, and sent them on their way with a map detailing the expansive corn maze.

They walked away from the shop and headed toward the entrance, practically skipping hand in hand as Blaine's smile grew with each step. As Kurt inspected the map, he was thankful he knew of their plan and decided to dress down - well, dressed down for him – going for comfort as opposed to his normally fitted attire.

Though the air was crisp with a slight chill, the sun was out and the sky was clear so they wouldn't need to wear coats. Kurt was thankful for the slightly cool air because it meant if he or Blaine did get cold, they'd have to huddle together for warmth with no jackets gracing their shoulders.

Kurt looked at Blaine who was about a half step ahead of him, taking in the sights and smells of the orchard as the rustle of the corn in the maze behind them provided a unique soundtrack to the day. Blaine couldn't stop smiling and neither could Kurt.

"I think we're lost," Kurt said, flipping the map nearly three times trying to navigate where they were. Each cross-section had a marker indicating where they were on the maze, but the one they'd found was slightly faded and they couldn't distinguish where they were based on the map in his hands.

Blaine laughed. "I'm sure if we're out here long enough, someone will find us. Do you happen to have a emergency flare in your boots or something?"

Kurt rolled his eyes. "As if I could fit anything aside from these jeans into these boots. The fit has to be tight in order for them not to completely ruin their shape."

Blaine grinned back at him and pulled him in for a hug. Kurt situated his hands around Blaine's neck as he felt Blaine's hands nestle around his waist. "I don't care if we get lost back here. I'm having a great time just being here with you," he said as Kurt gazed back into Blaine's honey-hazel eyes.

Kurt was pulled out of his thoughts when he felt Blaine's warm lips lightly kissing his cheeks and working their way down his jaw. Kurt leaned his head away from Blaine's lips to make sure that no crevasse was left unkissed as Blaine's lips settled on a soft patch on Kurt's neck as he hummed into his skin, giving Kurt goose bumps. He instinctively wrapped his arms around Blaine's waist and pulled him slightly closer as Blaine's lips continued to pulse around his neck to his collarbone and to the other side of his neck, ensuring a kiss on each inch of Kurt's skin.

There was nothing overly sexual about these kisses, but it was the love and adoration behind each peck that made Kurt's insides squeal with delight. Blaine placed one last kiss on his neck and pulled away, quickly wrapping his arms around Kurt's neck and started rubbing lightly at his shoulders.

"You're really great, you know that?" Blaine asked.

He grinned. "I guess I'm alright."

Kurt leaned in for a peck and upon parting from Blaine's lips he said, "let's go see what else there is to do around here. As much fun as kissing in this field has been, I'm pretty sure you want to shoot an apple launcher at an unsuspecting scarecrow."

Blaine practically squealed which caused Kurt to laugh heartily. "I love you, you spaz," he said pulling Blaine's hand back the way they'd come from.

After they had shot apples into a field, rode the tractor around the farm, picked out a pumpkin for Halloween, and filled up an entire memory card full of photos, Kurt decided it was time to go back toward home.

As they walked hand-in-hand toward the car with their apples in tow, Blaine rested his head on Kurt's shoulder. Kurt smiled at him and squeezed his hand.

"Did you have fun, hun?" he asked.

Blaine's eyes met his and he didn't even have to hear Blaine's resounding "yes" to know he had a great time – he could see it in his eyes. The worry that had plagued his eyes earlier that day was replaced with wonder, awe and a glint of childlike joy. Kurt couldn't help but love his boyfriend even more in that moment – realizing that so many small moments like this is exactly what Blaine needed to be happy. It didn't take a romantic gesture; it took caring and love.
