Strategy

“It’s not taking advantage if I want you to.” Kurt flirted to see Blaine’s reaction. Blaine was getting that look again.

How do you argue a response like that? Focus. If Blaine wanted to experience Kurt in Europe, he would need to figure out how to get his parents to sign the permission slip. Being the responsible person that he is, Blaine gets back to figuring out a plan. “So, we need to talk to Finn so that we can plan our attack on your dad and Carole. We need to make sure they say yes.”

“Let me text him.” Grabbing his cell, Kurt jumped onto the bed and positioned himself right up against Blaine, Kurt stared at the beautiful eyes before him.

“Not now babe. I can read your mind. We have some serious planning to do before June 30th.” Eyes still on the computer in front of him, Blaine feels Kurts leg start to drape over his legs. He started to rub his foot down Blaine’s calf gently. Unable to concentrate on the computer, he turns to meet Kurt’s longing stare. “What are you thinking about right now? It better not be related to sex. It better be related to the Europe trip and how we are going to get your parents to agree to this.” Directing his eyes back to the computer, he feels Kurt’s breath on his neck.

Kurt closed the distance to Blaine’s neck and starts to kiss a tiny path from the side of his neck to the nape of his neck. The tingling has successfully distracted Blaine and grinning he rolls over to grab Kurt by the waist and rolls him on top of him. “You win. I get you until Finn gets home. What else can you seriously want from me now?” not really asking. He knows that Kurt needs the closeness and the kissing and the romance. He is all too willing to give it because, frankly, he needs it and wants it too. Dalton has been a little lonely since Kurt left. Blaine feels like he is in a different world when it comes to kissing this beautiful and perfect boy in front of him. How did he get so lucky. In that thought, their lips meet and meld together in a perfect kiss. This is so right for him, how could anyone think they were wrong.

20 minutes later, Finn comes crashing through the garage door yelling “Kurt! Blaine! Where are you guys? We need to come up with a gameplan if we are going to Europe.” Tapping on Kurt’s door lightly, “can I come in? or do you want me to come back?” Finn doesn’t quite get it really, but he understands the wants and needs part. After all he is a boy and his hormones are often nagging at him when he is and isn’t with Rachel. It’s still a little weird to him when he sees Blaine and Kurt together, but then he sees how they look at each other and how they treat each other, he understands it. The hand holding and the caresses that they don’t think he sees are what really tells him how important they are to each other. The thoughtful things he sees, like Blaine handing Kurt his coffee cup or carrying his messenger bag or shopping bags. It’s not too different for a boy-girl couple. Reasoning in his mind tells him it’s no different than the way he feels when he looks at Rachel. They are just a different “right” but no less “right” than he and Rachel are. “I can come back, but it is almost 5:00. Burt and Mom should be getting home in about � hour and we don’t have anything planned yet.”

“Come on in Finn!” Finn opens the door. “You ruined my most awesome make out session with my boyfriend that I haven’t seen in 2 days. What if I made all the girls wear sweatpants for 2 days. You would so miss being able to check out their legs and the Cheerio’s butt’s.”

“Sorry Kurt. Sorry Blaine.” Apologetically acknowledging how intimate they look on Kurt’s bed.

“Finn, don’t listen to him. I told him we needed to start working on a plan and he totally seduced me.” Kurt Jabbing an elbow into Blaine’s side.

Finn smiles, because he is glad that Kurt has found someone. Not only found someone, but Blaine is pretty cool. He is just like one of the guys when he is there. They have a blast watching football, playing poker and just hanging out. Sometimes, Finn forgets that Blaine is his stepbrother’s boyfriend. All three have grown close over the last few months. Overall, it was a good deal. He got someone to watch sports with and Kurt got someone to gossip with over cooking dinner. “Maybe we should suggest going to Breadstix tonight. I was planning on taking Rachel there tonight. We could tell them that it is so we can all go out together instead of having to cook dinner. I hope that Blaine and Rachel talking about their approval to go will help us. We really need to get the parent’s to say yes.”

“Ok, Finn. So the plan is Breadstix, but then what. Hey mom and dad, we got a free trip to Europe alone with my girlfriend and Kurt’s boyfriend. OH and there will be around 24 of us with 4 chaperones. I don’t think that will work.”

“Maybe you should focus on the charity or good will as we called it? I can help with that. The Dean can call them if we need that, but let’s try to sell it as a charity and learning experience. Focus on all the practice we will have to do and the concerts and stuff. We should make it sound like a lot of work.” Nodding in agreement, Kurt and Finn really have nothing to lose. Of all the parents, theirs would be the most difficult to get to say yes.

“Okay, see you guys downstairs when they get home. We can ambush them pretty quickly. Maybe they will have a momentary lapse of judgment and sign before they even understand.” Finn takes off out the door closing it behind him.

Looking at Blaine, “I am worried that you guys will all be off to Europe without us and instead of an amazing start to the summer with you, I will end up sitting right here with Finn driving me crazy.”

“Don’t worry.” Holding Kurt’s hands in his, “ We will figure this out. We have faced tougher things than this already. We managed to meet each other, fall in love and deal with being apart. If you can’t go, I will stay with you. You are far more important to me than any trip to Europe.” Tipping Kurt’s face up toward him, Blaine’s lips graze the tips of Kurt’s. With his breath upon his lips, Blaine whispers ever so quietly, “No trip could match any of the memories we have planned for this summer. I don’t want to make one memory this summer that doesn’t include you.” The distance is closed and their lips meet once again. Kurt feels like the sun is burning in his chest. How could he love someone more than this person with him right now. It can’t be possible.
