Blaines POV
Im drunk. Heartbroken. Sad. Empty. Alone.
He left. He didn't stay. Okay – I told him to leave in a very aggressive tone and practically showed him the door. Fine. Fine he left with good reason, but still!
I crack open another bottle of Whiskey Single Barrell.
Right after I take the first gulp theres a knock on my door.
I stumble over –
“Im sorry – please – im sorry!”
“Kurt”
Hes standing there crying and drops to his knees.
“Kurt stop”
I pull him in and sit with him, hugging him.
“I cant – I don't - ”
“Stop! Just stop”
I pick his face up by his chin and just kiss him. Tears, snot and all
I push him down onto the floor and my body is weighs on top of his. Ive missed this so much. Ive missed the feeling of my man! I try and take his layers off while maintaining our lips together.
“Lets go to bed” he whispers and pulls me with him
We forget everything that happened before. Everything that was said. And make love. The feeling of being inside of him is one I can never get over. Its like the first time everytime. Always makes the butterflies in my stomach go crazy and my heart race. Hes pulling on the sheets, moaning my name! I pause and look down at him. His beautiful face. Puffy eyes from crying. I see thru all of that and still see the love in his eyes. Its not hurt I see anymore – its love. The love we have!
“What are you looking at?”
“My beautiful man! I love you” I lean down and kiss him
“I love you too” he pulls me closer to him
This is where he should be!
_________________________________
The next morning I wake with a huge hangover, dizzy – but with the man I love next to me. All of those nauseating feelings disappear. He turns and wakes up and catches my eyes with his.
“Hi” he whispers
“Hi” I whisper back and we just stare at eachother.
We get up, shower. He puts on my flannel pajama pants and stays shirtless. I love my view.
“I'll order breakfast” he says
“Coffee please, lots and lots of coffee”
Should we talk? Yes, we definitely should!
Breakfast comes and we sit in silence for a few minutes. Hes reading the paper and all seems normal. As if we didn't just have a dramatic eventful night.
“Are we good?” I ask softly “Are you? Are you good?”
“Yes! Seeing you like that last night, seeing you in agony. Thats something I never want to see ever again. It takes me to bad memories and I cant handle it. It was a reality check! I was an idiot to think you wanted anything else aside from being with me. I was being selfish and stupid and immature. I didn't even realize I was so unsure about us, and for no reason. It was a life changing experience”
“Good! Good! Beacause I wouldn't be able to last another minute without you” I slide over and grab his hand
“I love you so much, now lets wrap up here so we can go home, together”
"Can we make a stop first?”
“Sure, im in no rush”
I have a surprise for him. I call James to pick us up and quietly give him the destination. We get in the car and I blind fold him.
“Whats going on? How could you have possible planned a surprise if we just got back together 5 minutes ago?”
“This surprise was ready for when you came back where you belong”
We pull up – I take him out the car and stand him in front
“What are we doing here?”
“Walk in”
“Oh my lord – this is absolutely beautiful”
“I rushed, and rushed, and paid a whole lot extra, made sure they didn't drap their feet. Sebastian, Rachel, Dani, Santana, Brody, everyone helped. I wanted to make sure your home was ready when you came back home. And here you are”
The Townhouse is almost all done. Just a few tweeks here and there and it should be perfect.
“Oh Blaine, its perfect”
“Anything for you Kurt”
We finish looking around and talking about where we plan on putting furniture. Hes surprised I did well without him. This was his job. To make sure everything was in the right place. All the walls were painted the right color. But I took the job and did it well, anything to make my man happy!
Back to the loft
“Hey.. You guys came home – Together!!” Rachel says with a sigh of relief and grabs us into a tight hug.
“Yes together” Kurt says
Theres people over for dinner. Including Sebastian and Andy. A its fine. Its Perfect, we can celebrate tonight. Kurt wont be thrilled but he has to understand he was just being a friend to me and now that hes with Andy, hes going to be around more often.
I notice Sebastian takes Kurt to the side to talk.
“I hope youre okay with me being here. Last time I was here you werent and Blaine was a mess"
“Sebastian, tho it pains me to say, right now im grateful for you. You helped him get thru this time without me and I know you have his best interest at heart – selflessly. Thank you"
“Wow Kurt, im extremely happy to hear you say that”
Sebastian goes in and hugs Kurt. What the hell just happened? I watch amused.
“Okay that's enough” Kurt says and Sebastian laughs.
This is great! I need this! We need this
__________________________________
Two weeks pass and we shop for furniture and things for the house. Spring is here and it perfect timing for us to move in. Flowers blossoming in the backyard. Its perfect!
We still stay at the loft for now. There's no rush. We're happy where we are as long as we're together.
Santana and Dani should be finalizing the papers for baby Isa. We plan to celerate in the new place. A big party with family and friends. Burt and Carole are even flying out to meet her. This is a huge deal for all of us.
We decide to do one last night out before Isa comes to join our insanely crazy family. We call Sam, Mercedes and Shaun. Sebastian and Andy, Mel, Brody brings his brother, Michael. Artie comes with Amy. We even call up Marley. We're not that close but we are all Lima natives and she doesn't have many people in the city that she knows.
I have a feeling this night will be one to remember!
We go the hot new club - BkBg, stands for Brooklyn Bridge. Everyone loves it. Its a perfect mix of the wild Brooklyn crew with a manhattan sophistication. Gay, straight, black, white, doesnt matter - here everyone is fun.
"Section for about, um, 15/20 please" Shaun takes charge
"Will you be needing bottle service" the hostess says
"Yes, a lot of it!" Sam jokes and flirts
"This way"
She takes us to a private section in the back. We have a perfect view of everything and everyone, but no one can see us. Everyone is drinking, talking, laughing. Then it all starts!
You hear a lot of "woohoos" as we down shot after shot. Everyone starts dancing with everyone. Even Kurt and Sebastian share a techno dance or two.
"I think you and Kurt are amazing" Andy yells in my ear "hes an awesome kisser"
"You kissed my man?" I say laughing
"Hahaaaaa .. yea. Long time ago"
"Well arent we the most dysfunctional incestuous group of friends .. Hahaaa" I yell back and we just laugh our asses off for no reason. Im not mad. Andy isnt a threat.
"Come on Blaine" Dani drags me off the sofa
FUN We are young is playing and its perfect. We are!
The night then starts to play like a slideshow - everyone is singing with enthusiasm and memory from when we all sang it together in Glee Club. I blink and see kurt dancing with Rachel. I blink again and Sam is making out with Mel. I turn and Santanas with Amy just laughing - everyone is having a blast.. Marley is having fun. Its nice to see her enjoying herself. She seems to be hitting it off with Michael.
That would add another person to the crew.
Then I see Brody. Brody is mad! Hes storming towards some guy at the bar. Its like an alarm went off because you see all of us run towards him. The guy swings and I dont know how or what happened but I push Brody and one quick swing catches him and pushes him back on top of the bar. He tries to catch me but I swing again. Sam pulls me and the guys friends pull him away. The bouncer comes and drags him out. This isnt us. This isnt how we behave in bars or clubs. What just happened and how did I just get into a fight.
We take cabs and manage to all get back to the loft.
"What the fuck man" Sam yells at me but with more concern than anger.
"Dude I had no idea where that came from. Wheres Brody - he can explain." Brody walks in and takes me into a hug.
"Blaine, man, thank you so much. You didnt have to."
"Youre right, I didnt. And honestly I dont know how I did." Yes Ive gotten into fights, growing up gay wasnt easy in Lima and I had to defend myself and Kurt. I kicked asses for him! No one messed with him and got away with not dealing with me! So I always had reason "What happened?" I ask
"This guy grabbed my ass while I was dancing with Kurt and called him a fag" Rachel says
"What the fuck? Why didnt you tell me? Kurt?"
"Relax it happened so fast. Brody was there and then you swept in"
"Well Im happy I did" I walk over and hug him
"Im fine. Those are just words from an ignorant asshole"
"Well we can all agree homeboy got what was coming to him" Santana says "Now lets continue this party and turn up the music"
We all agree - shit we all still have a buzz and the house is always well stocked with booze.
"Thanx Brody for protecting my family. Well for attempting at least" I joke and Brody laughs
"Anytime bro, I cant imagine letting someone get away with being such dickhead"
Artie And Amy went home to Amelia. We convinced Marley to stay the night instead of going back to the city alone. And now we turn up the music.
One by one, people just start to crash. The floor, the spare rooms, the sofa. I even found Brodys brother, Michael, in the bathtub. I wake up in the morning and it looks like a college frat house. I decide to surprise everyone and order a large breakfast from the local diner. Eggs, breakfast sausages, bacon, bagels, coffee, orange juice to make some mimosas, those are good for a hangover, the whole lot of shit.
"I smell coffee" Sam wakes and walks over with just his low cut boxers on, no one cares whos wearing what or whos not wearing what
"Sausages, look Lady Hummell your fave" Santana jokes
"Ha ha" Kurt says sarcastically.
"I think I should go" Marley crawls out from a corner.
"Hell no girl, youre staying" Sam says, he knows her the best out of all of us.
"Please stay, you can borrow something from my closet and we can make a day of relaxing. Maybe Spa Castle later" Rachel says as if she wants to adopt Marley.
"It does sound better than going back to roommates I hardly know"
"Yes! Does anyone else have plans today or should we make this a stay-cation and relax all weekend?"
Everyone agrees with enthusiasm.
We all eat and line up to shower like in some kind of orphanage with Ms Hannigan.
We get car service and we head out.
Marley, Kurt, Santana, Dani, Michael, Brody, Rachel, Mel, Andy, Sebastian, Mercedes, Shaun, Sam. This is a lot of half naked bodies. Someones bound to find a hidden corner and have some adult time.
We all go to the outside heated pools. Its beautiful with individual seats inside the water with water massagers. Everyone in their own corners. Talking. Catching up.
"Marley, hows NYC treating you?" Rachel asks, sitting with Dani, Mel and Kurt.
"Um its okay. Havent really done much. I was so happy when you guys invited me out last night. Havent seen Sam in a long time or Artie. It was nice. And today! This is beautiful!" She says in amazement like of shes still a tourist.
"So you and Michael? Hes single ya know"
"yea, we spoke last night. He seems nice. Youre dating his brother right?"
"Something like that"
"Kurt, I heard you and Blaine bought a townhouse. Thats awesome. Everyone always knew you guys would end up together. Your names were always mentioned, it was like you guys were in the Lima weekly with all your success."
"Well Im glad to know Lima knows Ive made it" Kurt says joking, but I know deep down he means it.
"You know, Kurt is leaving soon and Ill be at the loft all alone. If you wanna maybe check it out to move in youre more than welcome, everyone else has at one point or another. Us Lima natives should stick together." Rachel says in her big sis voice
"Wow Rachel - thats an amazing offer but I couldnt impose"
"Impose? Hardly the case. Marley I have 3 bedrooms and an extra bedroom Im currently using as a closet because theres so much space. Just think about it."
"Okay, Ill think about it"
Rachel has this trusting bone that is admirable. Plus we know from Sam and Artie, shes a good girl.
Being a few years younger and trying to make it in nyc - Rachel Berry isnt a bad choice as a new friend. In fact she may be the best friend you can have. Rachel doesnt have many friends, but the ones she does are there because she knows she can trust them and theyre worth it.
Im with the guys, were talking about life, relationships, work. The new baby whos coming to join us, were overjoyed with that! Yes even us manly men cant wait to have a baby to squeeze cheeks and give candy and dirty them up and then send them home to their parents.
Sam tells us how hes been seeing Mel secretly and tho its no surprise, its nice that he can open up to someone romantically and to us. Hes usually not so open about the randoms that he conquers. Mel is no random. Thats good to hear. Hes a good guy and deserves the best. And Mel, well shes that. Shes an actress. She does a local TV series, but she also does Broadway from time to time. When she finds a part that fits. Shes picky, in a good way. And why should she be, shes gorgeous. Tall, long dark hair, Brooke Shields eyebrows. Shes gorgeous and she too deserves the best! And as Sam's best friend and oldest friend, hes amazing. We all know hes a looker, and smart, he did shocked us when he decided to be a teacher tho but hes a fucking awesome one at that! Thats not a bad pair of hotties to hook up.
"Okay its massage time! Ladies now, fellas after. Is that okay?" Mercedes announces
"Thats perfect. We can sit at the swim up bar while we wait for the ladies" Sebastian says
"We included you in the ladies portion" Santana says poking at him, he squints his eyes and laughs. Hes getting used to us and our inappropriate humor.
"Ladies this way” the hostess says
I havent been this relaxed in a really long time. The last time we had a stay-cation was when I turned 25 and we rented a suite down town at the Kimberly and went insane. That was the perfect definition of sex drugs and alcohol. A few years later we're more mature, more stable in life and don't feel the need to act that crazy anymore. A Spa Day is perfect for us.
I take a moment and make a call.
"Hey kiddo"
"How are you"
"All is good. Hows nyc?"
"Were fine. Kurt and I had a little bit of a falling out recently but were back, stronger than ever"
"I heard. It wasnt easy for him and I cant imagine it was any easier for you. I know how much you guys mean to one another"
"Thats why Im calling. Burt - I want to ask for your blessing. I want to ask you for Kurts hand in marriage"
