Kurt woke to the sound of pounding on the front door. Kurt groaned getting out of his cold bed almost falling over from how tired he was.
Kurt spent a huge part of his night calling people trying to figure out who the hell was filming Mike and Tina's wedding and wondering why they did such a terrible job at it! Like hello! Mike and Tina hired you to film their wedding not people in the audience. Why would you film Kurt bawling his eyes out? That was Mike and Tina's wedding! Not let's film Kurt make a fool out of himself.
But everyone he called were either unavailable to talk, on a place home for the holidays, and had absolutely no idea what the hell Kurt was rambling on about. Most of the people just thought he was over tired and stressed out about the Christmas holiday.
After pointless phone calls and getting nowhere, Kurt took out a photo album. A photo album that had pictures from Mike and Tina's wedding. He flipped through hoping that there was something, anything that would make that video have any kind of sense but there was nothing. Just a picture of Mike, Tina, Blaine & Kurt. A few pictures of Kurt and Blaine with various other people. A few pictures of just Kurt and Blaine and a few other random pictures that they decided to keep. Confused and tired Kurt went to bed at 12:30 am last night.
The clock now read 7:48 am. Kurt walked like a zombie down the hall and to the front door ready to punch whoever was at the door at this ridiculous hour. Considering Kurt had planned on sleeping in this morning, but I guess that's not happening anymore. When he opened the door Rachel busted in.
"Alright, breakfast at Tiffany's. Then we are going to do some shopping. I was thinking we could go to Dior Men's Boutique on East 57th Street for you and stop at Louis Vuitton store on 5 Ave. I need a new bag. Then we can go anywhere else that you would like." Rachel said walking into the kitchen. "Maybe we can hit up Gap." She chuckled at her own joke. Kurt followed her in to the room, confused, not fully awake.
"Whoa, no coffee is made?" Rachel said turning around looking over Kurt's attire. "What are you still doing in pajamas?
"Uh - You woke me up when you bang on to the door..." Kurt said slightly annoyed. "I don't remember making plans to go shopping today?" Kurt added confusion on his voice.
"But you love shopping…" Rachel cried.
"Rach," Kurt said softly. "Look, after everything that Blaine has gone through the last week, I don't think I need a shopping trip. I don't think I can afford one." Kurt said. Rachel considered Kurt's argument.
"Don't you have some Christmas shopping left to do? Any at all?" Rachel begged and turned to the coffee maker and began making coffee. Kurt sighed.
"Rach…" Kurt started.
"Come on, Kurt. Shopping if your all-time favorite hobby and beside we have to look fantastic when we go back to Ohio." Rachel interrupted.
"You only want to make Finn jealous," Kurt rolled his eyes. Rachel sucked her teeth.
"That's not true. I want to look fantastic because I am a star… and maybe I want to make him see what he lost." Rachel whispered.
"Honestly Rach, you two need to get over what ever happened…" Kurt shook his head.
"Kurt! Come on! Please! Let's go shopping!" Rachel yelled changing the subject.
Kurt sighed he knew how broken Rachel was when Finn ended their long distance relationship of four years. Last year during the summer is when it happened. Personally, Kurt thought Finn was being and idiot. But Kurt doesn't know the full reason of why he did it so he couldn't assume things. But Rachel was heartbroken. Their break up caused a little snag in Kurt and Blaine as well.
"Hello?" Kurt answered his phone. He was in the middle of painting the sun set on that late summer day. Kurt was using the view from his window as his inspiration. Blaine had to work a bit of over time tonight so Kurt decided to paint the New York sun set. Since he's lived in New York he hasn't gotten to do it yet. So tonight seemed like the perfect time.
"Kurt, I hate your brother so much," Rachel was crying. Kurt was shocked at the way she sounded. He placed his paint brush down and walked over to the window.
"What happened, Rachel?" Kurt loved Finn and Rachel together they were so perfect just like Blaine and himself. He thought they were perfectly fine, that nothing was wrong. But he was wrong. Their relationship wasn't the easiest. Finn was staying in Ohio for school while Rachel was in New York. Kurt thought for a fact that they'd be the one in a million long distance relationship that was going to last.
"He broke up with me," Rachel sobbed.
"What?" Kurt asked in disbelief.
"He called me, and said he could take it anymore, and broke up with me…" Kurt couldn't believe what he was hearing. Rachel and Finn were the solidest couple he knew beside Mike and Tina. Kurt talked to Rachel a little more, trying to solace her before he told her to get some sleep.
When they hung up, Kurt tired not to think about what would happen if Blaine came home one day said he didn't love him anymore. He bit back tears as he heard the front door open and close.
"Baby, I'm home," Blaine's voice was filled with love and care. He could be lying, Kurt told, himself that could be all acting. Kurt didn't say anything; he was too afraid that if he opened his mouth a sob would escape.
Kurt listened as Blaine's foot step became closer to the studio. Kurt looked out the window, trying to push the tears and thought of Blaine leaving out of his mind. So he'd looked fine when Blaine entered. A knocked came from the door that was closed. The door knob turned.
"Kurt, how many times do I tell you not to paint with the door closed? The fumes aren't good for you." Blaine said walking in. Kurt wanted to respond with 'And why would you care?' but he bit his lip harder. Kurt knew he shouldn't be thing like this, but how can something so right and good just end? Blaine walked up beside Kurt staring out the window at the sunset.
"Wow, isn't that a sight…" Blaine breathed. Silence. Kurt watched him out of the corner of his eye, turning his face away from Blaine when he turned to look at Kurt. "Kurt, what's wrong?" Kurt looked up at Blaine, forgetting that tears filled his eyes. Blaine eyes widen and began wiping the tears from his eyes. Kurt opened his mouth to talk but quickly shut it and tried to pull away from Blaine grip. But Blaine wrapped his arms around Kurt's waist pulling close. Kurt put his hands in Blaine chest making sure that he didn't get too close to Blaine. He hung his head.
"You're going to leave me," Kurt whispered.
"What?" Blaine asked completely confused now.
"You're going to come home one day and realize that you never wanted me. You are going to realize that you never loved me anymore." Kurt spoke barely a whispered.
"What? No, I'll always love you." Kurt tensed at his words. "Where the fuck are you getting this from?" Blaine swore.
"Rachel… she called me, saying Finn randomly called to break up with her. They were so solid Blaine! I don't understand how that could have happened!" Kurt's hands fist into Blaine dress shirt. "They were together just as long as we have been."
"Kurt, that's not going to happen to us…" Blaine told him.
"How do you know, Blaine! How do you know that you're not going to walk down the streets of New York and see some sexy guy and fall madly in love with him or you getting some client at work and like him better then and realize I was nothing but useless air to you!" Kurt yelled and pulled from Blaine's trying to leave the room. But Blaine's hand grabbed his wrist stopping him from leaving. Kurt felt the pressure on his wrist and fell to the ground crying.
"Kurt, you are not just useless air to me. You're my everything." Blaine said sinking to his knees in front of Kurt.
"No, stop." Kurt cried. "Please stop lying to me…" Kurt tried pushing Blaine away. But Blaine wouldn't let him. Blaine gripped the sides on Kurt's face. Kurt averted his eyes to look anywhere but Blaine's.
"Look at me," Blaine said. "Kurt, Baby, look at me. Please." Kurt bit his lip and tried blinking away tears before his eyes found Blaine's. But tears only began to fall more.
"I am never going to leave you. Kurt, you got to believe me. You mean so much to me. And I love you in every way possible. If I didn't why would I be here right now? I love you so much. You are everything to me. I could never replace you; you're one of a kind. Look at all we've been through and how far we've come. I will never let you go and I want to be with you forever. I don't care if forever is a really long time, because I am willing to spend every second of every minute with you." Kurt could tell Blaine was speaking the truth. By the way his eyes were glazed by tears and filled with complete love. Kurt collapsed into Blaine's arms pulling him closer than ever.
"Please, Kurt." Rachel said one more time.
"I guess I could buy a few more things for Blaine to try and even out what's done for me so far." Kurt spoke to himself. A smile grew on Rachel's face and she clapped her hand together.
"Alright it's settled then. Tiffany's. Dior. Louis. Then where ever else the day takes us. Go! Go! Go!" Rachel said pushing Kurt back to his room.
When Kurt was done getting ready he found Rachel starring at the fifty picture collage on the wall. He walked over to stand next to Rachel a small smile appearing on his face as he looked over the pictures again.
"You guys are so perfect," Rachel said breaking the silence. "I wanted a relationship like yours, Kurt. I wanted the High School Sweetheart title. I wanted the perfect boyfriend. I wanted it all. But you got it," Rachel turned to Kurt. "You deserve this Kurt. You completely deserve everything that Blaine has done for you." Kurt silent agreed with Rachel.
"You'll find that man someday, Rachel. You just have to believe you will." Kurt said. Rachel smiled and linked her arm with Kurt's.
"Come on, babe, we've got shopping to do!" Rachel said and pulled him out the door.
~*line*~ ~*break*~
When Kurt walked through the door of his house again later that day, the clock in the other room told him it was 9:30 pm.
Kurt fell on to the couch bags surrounding him. He thought he'd never be tired on shopping in his life, but was he so wrong. Rachel shopped him till he dropped more like collapsed. They had to have gone all over New York stopping and shopping at everywhere possible. Rachel even dragged Kurt in to Gap. He wasn't happy about it at all, but he did find a few cute ties that he bought for Blaine. Just don't tell Blaine that they were from the Gap.
Kurt sunk father into the couch kicking his shoes off. His feet killed from shopping all day. Kurt knew he had to go to bed soon because his flight to Ohio was at 9:15 tomorrow morning and he had to call a cab and pick up Rachel before he got to the airport. But Kurt didn't want to leave the couch.
He wished that Blaine was there right now. To hold him or to rub his sore feet. But you can't always get what you want.
Sighing Kurt stood up and walking in to the kitchen his feet hurting with every step he took.
Kurt froze when he saw the table all decorated with a red cloth and red rose petals all over it. Candles were lit surrounding a huge envelope that lay in the center. It would have been completely romantic if it was a dinner date. But his date was in Texas so he knew it wasn't.
Kurt's memory reminded him that Blaine was doing the twelve days for Christmas for he had forgotten.
"What's today?" Kurt asked himself. "Right, three days until Christmas." Kurt walked closer to the table were the envelope was placed. Kurt tried to run through all the things that could come in threes. But he a hard time thinking of anything. Kurt picked up the envelope and read 'The City of Love' that was written across the top.
"City of Love?" Kurt asked out loud. "What does that mean?"
Kurt turned it over and opened it. He reached his hand inside and pulled out two plane tickets. Kurt was surprised. He read the tickets.
"Roundtrip. January 8th to January 29th. Paris, France." Kurt said then counted. "Three weeks in Paris. That'd be an awesome trip." Kurt placed the stuff down back on to the table and began walking away but froze.
"Holy shit, Blaine's taking me on a three week trip to Paris!" Kurt yelled his eyes wide.
