Kurt was outside watering the various plant life in the garden. As much of a chore it was to water the vast amount of plants in their humongous backyard, Kurt enjoyed the work because it was quiet and he was guaranteed alone time. Sometimes he'd talk to the flowers like he was venting out to a friend on something that was stressing him out and always he would sing while he worked. He read in an article once that being joyous around growing plants made the plants flourish better because of the positive energy being passed through. He used to think it was a hokey and he felt a little awkward talking to plants, but soon he came to think that plants were organisms that grow and need loving care like humans and animals so he gave it a whirl. He wasn't sure if it was his voice or his superb gardening skills or both that made his and Carol's garden grow so magnificently, but he sing away he did anyway because it made him feel good and he didn't want to jinx his luck.

He'd gotten through the entire song of Gimme Gimme from Thoroughly Modern Millie, while watering the roses, when he heard someone clapping off in the distance. He lifted his head up and saw Blaine sitting in the Love Swing, swinging away as he enjoyed his own private concert. Kurt felt a flash of pink creep up his cheeks. He batted his eyes and shook himself out of his state of surprise when he realized he was flooding one of the rose bushes. He turned the water flow off on the nozzle. "You're early!" He called out.

"I didn't want to disrupt you!" Blaine called back, knowing that what Kurt really meant was 'Why didn't you tell me you were standing there before I made a fool of myself?' He stood up to make his way over to Kurt, but Kurt stopped him.

"I'd stay there!" Kurt felt the ground squishing beneath his galoshes. "It's a little muddy. You'd ruin those Aldo shoes of yours." He began making his way over to Blaine, tugging the hose with him.

Blaine chuckled. "How'd you know they were Aldo? You're too far away." The closer Kurt got, the more of Kurt's outfit Blaine was able to see. He was holding back a laugh when he saw that Kurt somehow made a knee-length raincoat and thigh-high rain boots look fabulous. The jacket was clear with a black lining and his boots were black to match. He wondered why Kurt would buy such a thing because Blaine guessed that the jacket was one of those things that most certainly did not look good on a hanger.

He was broken from his inner musings when Kurt finally made his way to him. Kurt stopped in front of Blaine with a playful expression. He would have hugged him, but Kurt didn't want to get Blaine wet. He did look handsome in his baby blue v-neck t-shirt and dark blue jeans. "Do you think that I don't know what's in your closet, Blaine Anderson?"

Blaine cheshired. "My mistake," he mused as he leaned forward and smiled into kissing Kurt on the cheek. "Do you need some help?" he asked. "Or are you done serenading the flowers?"

"Very funny," Kurt said as another blush made it's way up his cheeks. "And no I don't need help. I'm about done." He turned and dragged the hose back to the house and shut the water off before coiling the hose on a stand. Blaine watched from the doorway. When he was done, Kurt took his jacket off in front of Blaine and hung it on a hook outside by the door and stepped out of his boots, placing one foot at a time inside the house once it had been removed from the boot.

"Not that the garden outfit isn't chic, but I like this look better." Kurt was dressed particularly feminine today, wearing a black flowy top that was cut at an angle from his left hip down to about midway on is right thigh. He paired it with red madras skinny jeans.

"I had to get something to keep me from ruining my clothes. Mud and fertilizer are not fun things to wash out of fabric."

Blaine stepped forward and closed the gap between them and embraced his boyfriend close. "Mmm," he cooed. "Best part of the day, so far." He sighed, feeling like he was finally relaxing for the first time today.

"Dinner won't be ready for another hour. What do you want to do?" Kurt asked.

"Rachel said something about playing a board game. Want to do something with her and Finn?"

"Sure, why not?" Kurt had a flash thought of how little the two of them interact with other people when they're together and thought that Blaine's idea to spend time with Rachel and Finn was a good one. I'll have him all to myself later tonight, he thought.

The four argued over which game to play for about ten minutes before settling on Apples to Apples instead of a board game. They nixed the idea to play something that would take forever to finish like Monopoly or Risk, and Finn didn't want to play any of the trivial pursuit games they had because he claimed that it wasn't fair that he wouldn't know any of the answers. Rachel was wearing a skirt so Twister was out. Blaine hated games like Mousetrap because he thought they were for little kids. Rachel didn't want to play Clue, and Kurt didn't want to play Sorry. They had too many games that involved two people and the only thing left to choose from were card games.

By the time dinner came, the object of the game hadn't been to put down the most accurate card, but the funniest and Kurt was gloating because he was winning by a landslide and Rachel was the clear loser with a pile of zero cards.

"That's not fair, Kurt just got better cards," Rachel complained.

"You're just a sore loser because you over thought every round," Kurt defended.

"I'm still biased that when the topic is Blue, 'sky' should win over 'balls.'"

All three boys burst out laughing immaturely just as hard as they had the first time the card was reveled. "Of course, you're biased," Kurt giggled.

"I don't understand what's so funny."

Finn was crying because he was laughing so hard. "Finn, she belongs to you, so you can explain it to her," Blaine said in between gasps of air.

"What do you mean?" Rachel continued, her voice raising in volume. She was getting frustrated. "What's so funny about blue balls?"

Finn was doubled over and coughing out air. His stomach muscles were now burning from laughing. Burt walked in, wondering why everyone was being so loud. "Go ahead, Rachel, keep shouting 'blue balls' and see what happens in a house full of men."

Kurt and Blaine looked up to see Burt's stunned face. "Okay, that's the last time I check on your four," Burt said before reminding them that dinner was on the table.

Rachel looked annoyed at a joke that she didn't understand and the three boys rolled out more laughter at Burt's reaction.

Dinner resumed it's normalcy with chatter, Blaine and Kurt holding hands beneath the table while they ate, and Blaine resting his arm on the back of Kurt's chair while Kurt moved himself closer and played with the curls on the back of Blaine's head during the time between dinner and desert. Blaine kept giving Kurt sentimental smiles at the knowledge that at last, things had returned to their blissfully normal self.

Bowling turned out to be a lot of fun. Most of the Warblers showed up. The ones who didn't either had family that they had to be with or school work to catch up on since Saturday would be devoted to the benefit concert.

There were nearly thirty teens from the New Direction and the Warblers mulling around the bowling alley. They had rented out three lanes and three pool tables. Puck was more interested in taking bets on how many people he could beat at a game of mortal combat in the arcade and Finn, Rachel, Tina, and Mike, were battling each other in air-hockey. A lot of other people were singing karaoke between bowling sets.

Kurt held Blaine's hand, but paid particular attention to Zach. Blaine found that they had more in common than he originally thought. Not that he spent too much time before now wondering if they did have anything in common, but it turned out that they had the same taste in music and sports teams and had the same opinions about every other team. Kurt just smiled and zoned out, pretending that he was following along while he was actually thinking about what to sing for karaoke. He randomly started laughing when he saw a bowling ball Brittany holding accidentally slip out of her grasp, when she swung her arm back, and hit Santana in the stomach.

After what Kurt thought to be a long enough time, he suggested going to go get sodas and he was annoyed when he was he was dismissed with a gesture from Zach and a quick kiss on the cheek from Blaine before asking for a diet coke. Instead of actually going to get the drinks he went over to the guys who were doing karaoke and decided that it was probably best that Zach and Blaine were getting along anyway.

After ten minutes Kurt felt a pair of arms wrap around him and lips placed gently below his ear. "You didn't come back," Blaine whispered.

"I was gone ten minutes."

"That's ten minutes I have to spend away from you." Blaine gave Kurt another kiss on the cheek and pulled a chair up next to him. "What are you thinking about singing?"

"Too many choices. I'm not sure yet."

"Blaine, you're up," Nick said shoving the karaoke book in his direction. Nick had an arm around Quinn who was giggling and whispering something in his ear. Whatever she said made Nick smile like an idiot.

Blaine opened up the book to a random page, spotted a song, and closed the book. "Got it," he said.

"That was quick," Quinn said.

"Just lucky. I opened up to the right page." He stood up and walked himself over to the karaoke machine and punched in the code for his song. Someday by Rob Thomas lit up the screen before the music started. "I saw this and immediately thought of how perfect it was. Kurt, you and I went through a really hard time and the thing that got me through it was the thought that someday you and I might be able to figure everything out and find a way to make it better." He paused and licked his lips, squaring his eyes on Kurt and ignoring the rest of the people in the room. Blaine fiddled with the microphone before settling it again against his lips. "I'm just really glad the someday came sooner than later."

You can go

You can start all over again

You can try to find a way to make another day go by

You can hide

Hold all your feelings inside

You can try to carry on when all you wanna do is cry

Kurt remembered the song being a hit on the radio years ago and it reminded him of how he used to feel before he met Blaine. Blaine who made everything better. Blaine, who made days at McKinley bearable.

Maybe someday

We'll figure all this out

Try to put an end to all our doubt

Try to find a way to make things better now

And maybe someday

We'll live our lives out loud

We'll be better off somehow

Someday

Now wait

Try to find another mistake

If you throw it all away

Then maybe you can change your mind

Now Kurt thought of the past couple months where it was one thing after another of things going wrong in their relationship. Through everything, he remembered saying and thinking that they were done permanently, but never truly giving up on thinking that he'd ever change his mind on what they could be together.

You can run

And when everything is over and done

You can shine a little light on everything around you

Man it's good to be someone

Maybe someday

We'll figure all this out

Try to put an end to all our doubt

Try to find a way to make things better now

And maybe someday

We'll live our lives out loud

We'll be better off somehow

Someday

I don't wanna wait

I just wanna know

I just wanna hear you tell me so

Give it to me straight

But tell it to me slow

I love you. Kurt thought.

'Cause maybe someday

We'll figure all this out

We'll put an end to all our doubt

Try to find a way to just feel better now

And maybe someday

We'll live our lives out loud

We'll be better off somehow

Someday

Sometimes we don't really notice

Just how good it can get

So maybe we should start all over

Start all over again

Sometimes we don't really notice

Just how good it can get

So maybe we should start all over

Start all over again

The song ended and Blaine put the microphone back in it's cradle. Everyone clapped and Kurt smiled. There was a look in his eyes that made Blaine happy. There was joy in them. Kurt stood up from his chair, his eyes still locked onto Blaine's, and headed for the bathroom. Blaine followed, knowing he was expected to.

"Why did you come in here?" Blaine asked once the door was shut.

"Because there are small town, close minded idiots out there." He stepped closer. "And I wanted to do this." Kurt wrapped his arms around Blaine's neck and pressed his lips to Blaine's. He rested his forehead against the olive skinned boy's and smiled. "I'm glad that someday came sooner than later for us too. I love you."

"I love you." Blaine careened his neck and kissed Kurt deeply.

It was nearing one in the morning when Kurt and Blaine were lying on their stomachs in Kurt's bed. Blaine wore the same tired expression that he always wore after orgasming. They stared at one another, completely blissed out. Blaine turned himself over onto his back and encouraged Kurt to cuddle closer.

"What's that look for?" Kurt asked as he gazed and took in all of Blaine's features.

Blaine turned his head towards Kurt and thought about how to say what he was actually thinking. He twisted his body and perched his head up on his bent arm to face Kurt. He touched Kurt's arm ever so gently and began tracing a random pattern in his skin. "I keep thinking- there's this thought that keeps popping up in my head."

"What is it?" Kurt asked, sounding a little concerned.

"No! It's nothing bad!" Blaine comforted. "I just don't know how to put into words what I was thinking. I'm-" He made another face like he was thinking hard. "I'm happy. We're happy. This- this distance thing that we constantly battled with. We had a really hard few months. We went through pretty much everything a couple could have gone through and, yet, here we are. Still together. Still strong. Still happy. I feel- I feel like we've won. If distance was the challenge, we beat it. After everything that the distance did to us, I can't help but see it as something different. The distance didn't try to destroy us; it made us grow stronger and fonder. I see it now. No matter if we have one more year of high school and distance to look forward to, or going to different colleges, or anything. We're golden."

Kurt stayed silent. He didn't know how to answer that. "I love you so much," was all he could think to say. He propped himself up and rolled Blaine onto his back, kissing him gently, but with purpose. He released Blaine's lips, making Blaine whimper, missing him already. Kurt placed open mouthed kisses down Blaine's neck, down his chest and abs, and finally stopping at his hips. Kurt looked up at Blaine who's face held an innocent expression. Kurt had conflicting emotions. He wanted to stop what he was doing and let Blaine keep the innocence he showed, but then there was another part of him that wanted to steal that innocence away. Blaine held all of Kurt's innocence after all. His weakness one out. Kurt slid a finger into his mouth and slicked it thoroughly.

He place the finger at Blaine's entrance and looked up at Blaine with a small, loving smile. The olive skinned boy still looked down at Kurt innocently, but his eyes were screaming for more. Kurt was happy to oblige. He plunged his finger into Blaine and took Blaine's sizable dick into his mouth simultaneously. Kurt flicked his eyes up at Blaine, who now was dropping his head back and moaning inwardly. If Kurt could smile, he would, but instead he pushed and pulled his head to and fro, pumping his finger in unison and making sure he was hitting Blaine's pleasure center. He varied his speed and technique to get the optimum pleasure and moans from Blaine. He plummeted his head down again and again, plunging his finger deeper and deeper, encouraged by Blaine's moans.

"Uhng!" Blaine gave one final moan, trying to keep his volume down. Without warning Kurt, he shot his orgasm down his lover's throat, panting his breaths out.

Kurt swallowed every last drop and brought himself up to Blaine's mouth. He captured his lips with his own and kissed him sensually before both boys fell asleep in each other's arms.
