Florence

They had a long train ride to Florence this morning. “I’m excited for Florence Kurt.” Kurt seemed to not be listening. He was looking out the bus window deep in thought. “Are you okay, Babe?”

“Huh? Oh, did you say something?”

“I didn’t ask a question, but I was talking to you and you didn’t seem to be listening.”

Kurt turned and offered Blaine a smile and a kiss on the cheek, which Blaine accepted with a sigh. Blaine was giving him the look. The look that says, you better tell me what’s going on in your head. Kurt’s heart fluttered because he knew everything that Blaine was thinking about right now. This trip has been such an eye opener for both of them as a couple. Though they have been together 5 months, they were so in tuned to each other and this trip has definitely brought them closer together. Kurt was so sure about Blaine now. He knew that he wanted Blaine and that feeling was only getting stronger by the day, maybe by the minute. They have been through so much together and the promise ring that Kurt accepted from him was a dream come true. “Sorry, just thinking.”

“About?” Blaine was pushing, but not too hard. Everything with Paul in the last 12 hours was a lot to take in. “Kurt?.... Kurt? I’m starting to worry about you here.” Blaine placed his hand on Kurt’s thigh rubbing his leg to see if he could get any type of living reaction.

“Sorry.”

“Sorry? Again?” Blaine smiled encouragingly to Kurt. “Let me in Kurt. I’m here and I love you. Let me in that pretty head of yours.” Blaine’s eyes were begging and his smile was warming. How could anyone resist the warm hazel of his eyes right now?

Kurt turned away from the window to face Blaine. “I am thinking about your safety. I just have this awful feeling every time I think of Paul. He wants me. He wants you to not exist so that he can get to me.” Kurt was in pain. His eyes showed it. “He won’t hurt me Blaine. He is going to try to hurt you, if anyone.”

“Kurt. Don’t worry. We have all our friends and chaperones that will be watching our backs. I feel confident that we’ll be okay.” Blaine squeezed Kurt’s hand reassuring him that things would be fine. Kurt accepted it, but wasn’t sold.

The train again! Wes and David had a gift for getting rid of adults. It had to be the dapperness that wafted off of their prep school smiles and gestures. There they were, alone in the train car, a bunch of teenagers and their raging hormones. “Let’s play the nervous game. Everyone has to play, Blaine and Kurt.” Wes decides that anything involving stripping is just not a possibility.

Blaine and Kurt reluctantly join the game. “Who is going to start? How do we decide who starts and who..you know.. is the other person?” Kurt was a little nervous because it would be really weird for his brother to touch him and vice versa.

Wes has an answer for everything. “Spin the bottle.”

David laughs. “Wes, your response to everything is to spin a bottle.” Yet David spins it and it lands on Blaine. Laughter erupts at this. Kurt shoots a nervous look at Blaine. “Spin it Blaine. This is going to be good.”

Blaine sighs with a look at Kurt. He knew there was no way that he was going to be lucky enough to get Kurt, so he spun and closed his eyes. He heard the laughter and looked up. He got Santana. “Great. No offense Santana.”

“None took Hobbit! Ready to see what a hot Latina feels like.” Santana was loving this moment. She could see how nervous Blaine was getting.

“I think I am going to leave when Blaine gets close to those boobs. I might vomit.” Kurt stood up to leave. Blaine’s eyes pleaded for him to stay. “Babe. Sorry. I know you want me to stay, but I really can’t bear to watch you touch her. And I need to go find some alcohol swabs to decontaminate your hands before you touch me again.” Everyone but Santana laughed at this.

Blaine begrudgingly scooted over to Santana where she sat leaned back on her hands with a smug smile on her face. Blaine put his hand on her ankle and began to move up her leg. He was starting to sweat from the nervousness, but he also didn’t want to lose. Kurt leaned down to whisper something to Blaine before leaving. “Don’t lose.” Blaine was terrified. What did Kurt mean by that? Is he crazy? How could Kurt not want him to lose? “You know I hate to lose.”

He stopped at her knee. “Are you nervous?”

“No” So Blaine knowing that she will not get nervous, continues until he gets to her stomach. Wes and David start to laugh. Blaine looks at them with a look that screams ‘help me’. Kurt is gone, no one is going to come to his rescue and he stops before getting to her boobs. Blaine pulled his hands away and buries his face in his hands. “Hobbit. I am so disappointed in you.”

Santana pushes Blaine down to a leaned back position so that she can begin her assault. Blaine is still smiling even though he knew he couldn’t go very far. Kurt returns while Santana is trying to slip her hand under Blaine’s ass. “Okay, that is far enough Santana. Release my boyfriend or I will go all Diva on you.” He pulled her hand off him. Santana disappointed spins the bottle. The best match-ups of the afternoon were Wes getting David and David getting Kurt. This was a great new twist on the game because you didn’t get to pick and therefore the nervousness started when you spun that darn bottle.

Kurt was nervous, but he hated to lose so he let David get all the way up and down his body. This forced David to the more intimate areas which Kurt finally said nervous when David’s hand crept very close to his crotch. Kurt was nervous as he spun the bottle begging not to get Finn, or in some ways begging to get him because Finn would be so nervous at the first touch. He closed his eyes like Blaine did when it was his turn. He waited to hear the response of who he got. The first words he heard were from Puck. “Does Kurt have, like, a golden touch?”

Then David. “So not fair, like they never touch.”

A smiled crept over Kurt’s face as he figured he spun the bottle on Blaine. He opened his eyes to find it pointing at his boyfriend who smiled smugly back at him. Blaine leaned casually back and Kurt whispered, “Are you nervous? You should be.” Everyone was watching with interest. Kurt started at Blaine’s head and ran his fingers through the locks of curls he loved to much. Kurt didn’t bother with innocent touches. What for? He touched Blaine daily. He stared deeply into Blaine’s eyes and never even asked Blaine if he was nervous. What was the point? He knew Blaine’s body almost as well as his own. He brought his hand down the side of Blaine’s face and down his neck to his shoulders and down Blaine’s side. Blaine laughed as Kurt tickled him when he passed his waist and down the side of his leg to his ankle. Kurt continued to gaze into his boyfriend’s eyes and the cabin was complete quiet.

All eyes continued to watch with interest as Kurt slowly made it up the inside of Blaine’s leg inching closer and closer to the prize between Blaine’s legs. Kurt eyes continued to stare into Blaine’s beautiful hazel ones and he moved his hand over Blaine’s cock and pressed down lightly. Kurt heard some whispers and Blaine closed his eyes briefly at the pressure. Kurt whispered into Blaine’s ear. “Are you nervous?” Blaine’s response was a low moan as Kurt moved his hand up under Blaine’s shirt to his nipples running his finger around it and pinching it slightly. Blaine gasped at the touch. “Are you nervous?”

“No” was heard by all.

Kurt was not stopping. He unbuttoned Blaine’s jeans with his left hand and reached his hand inside. “Uh, Kurt. Kurt…..” Finn did not want to watch this.

Kurt’s hand was still in Blaine’s pants. Kurt turned to look at the group. “What? He said he’s not nervous. Aren’t game rules to continue?” Kurt smirked. Blaine was panting below him. Kurt’s palm was on his cock pressing down firmly and barely moving his hand along his length. Kurt knew that Blaine was in no condition to stop him. Again, Kurt knew Blaine’s body as well as his own.

Finn finally said it. “Okay, I think you just won this one!”

Kurt removed his hand from Blaine’s pants. He leaned down and whispered to Blaine. “I’m sorry baby. I had to stop, but I promise we can do things properly later tonight.”

“God, Kurt. The things you do to me.” Blaine was coming to his senses. “I couldn’t stop you. My head was gone.” Blaine sat up blushing because everyone was staring.

“See. Told you guys that they were hot.” Puck shook his head knowingly. In the back of his mind came his little voyeuristic trip back home. Kurt eyes widened.

“I had no idea that Kurt was the take charge one.” A little laughter ensued as Mercedes chimed in her opinion.

“Okay. Okay, Okay. Stop now. If you must know, Blaine usually takes charge, but all of you know how much I had to lose a game even as stupid as this one.” Kurt took Blaine’s hand and started to lead him away. He turned back to wink at the group. He dragged Blaine into the bathroom. There was no waiting until tonight. It was starting to become a routine for them but this time, Blaine was being slammed up against the door as Kurt pressed his lips firmly to Blaine’s.

Blaine’s hands moved down Kurt’s sides and his thighs and finally curving around Kurt’s ass. Blaine squeezed Kurt’s firm ass in his hands causing Kurt to moan into the kiss. Kurt’s hands roamed back to Blaine’s pants still unbuttoned. He quickly unzipped and shoved Blaine’s jeans over his hips and ass to release his cock from it’s’ prison. “Oh, Kurt. I love you so much Babe.”

“What do you want me to do Blaine?” Kurt’s face was nuzzled into the crook of Blaine’s neck where he nipped lightly with his teeth and licked the light sheen of sweat that was beginning to form there. “Tell me what you want and I’ll do it. I love you too much to leave you in pain, Baby.”

“Kiss me and rub me. Use those soft hands. You know how to touch me, Kurt. God, you blow my mind away. It has been a while since you gave me a hand job and I totally forgot how soft your hands feel and how unbelievable you smell. Ooohhhh, you smell so good.” Blaine was drunk off of Kurt right in the moment. Kurt smiled into Blaine’s shoulder as he nipped again while curling his hand around Blaine’s cock starting to rub from base to tip and slowly taking his thumb to circle his head spreading his pre-come around the head. Blaine felt so hard and smooth and Kurt couldn’t decide whether Blaine’s face was more awesome than his beautiful cock. Kurt would spend a lifetime trying to make a decision. Right now, he was so turned on by his boyfriend’s facial expressions and by the sounds that Kurt elicited from him.

“Do you like this?” Kurt repeated pumping Blaine’s cock firmly stopping to circle his head with his thumb. “I can keep doing this if you like.” Kurt smiled staring at the Blaine’s face that was completely lust blown and so, so hot. Blaine was putty right now and Kurt continued to kiss him and pump his hand up and down. He kissed and licked Blaine’s lips and plunged his tongue in and out of Blaine’s mouth like he was fucking him with his tongue. Kurt was moaning into his kisses as he felt Blaine’s hands grip his ass harder. Blaine turned his head so that he could actually breathe. Kurt got the picture. “I want to look at you when I make you come.” Blaine opened his eyes to see Kurt. It was becoming a blur to him, but he understood what Kurt wanted and he never denied Kurt anything. “Blaine, you are so.. God, you are so hot. You.. I love you so much. I can’t wait to see you come.”

“Uhhhnng” Kurt could see how close Blaine was. He was whimpering and his eyes kept closing. “Kuuuuurrt.Baaaby.Uhhh, Kuuurrt.” Blaine was stuttering the only words his lust blown mind could conjure up.

Kurt leaned his forehead against Blaine’s. “Come for me. I want you to come, Baby.” Kurt’s breath was there. So close to him, Blaine could smell everything that was Kurt. His lotions, his cologne, his chapstick. It was intoxicating. Kurt’s mouth was right there lips almost touching and then the words came out like a song from Kurt’s mouth.

Blaine’s eyes opened to see Kurt breathing heavy while he continued to pump. This is what it was about. Kurt was just as turned on by just pleasuring Blaine that he looked close to coming too. Blaine could barely think, but he moved his hand to the front of Kurt’s pants and palmed him through the fabric. Kurt tilted his head to the side and kissed Blaine long and hard and began to quicken his hand. Blaine followed suit. Lips parted again as Kurt was now whining. “It’s okay Kurt. It’s time to let go.” Blaine’s toes curled up and he was pumping into Kurt’s hand desperate for the release that was right there. His stomach was tensed and it was only a matter of a few seconds that Blaine groaned and came long and hard. He could not even think to continue palming Kurt. It was all over Kurt’s hand and some on his pants.

Kurt was still panting and Blaine realized that Kurt was still overly aroused and needed a release. Blaine used every bit of his brain left to focus on moving his hand up and down over Kurt’s crotch. Kurt quickly moaned into Blaine’s neck lightly thrusting into Blaine’s hand until he could breathe again. Kurt came back down from his orgasmic high to realize his hand was still wrapped tightly around Blaine’s cock. Blaine reached over Kurt’s shoulder for paper towels and cleaned up what he could and wiped off Kurt’s hand.

Blaine felt bad for Kurt’s condition and he unbuttoned and unzipped Kurt’s pants and did the best he could to wipe him clean. Kurt laughed because he was so sensitive right now. He was coming to his senses again and realized that Blaine’s jeans were still pulled down over hit ass. He reached down pulled Blaine’s boxers and jeans up, buttoned and zipped them.

Returning to their seats, they were greeted by knowing looks and smiles. Everyone knew where they were and what they were doing. Everyone except for the adults who were just coming back. It was time for Blaine and Kurt to cuddle and watch a movie. Aladdin was soon playing on Blaine’s computer as Kurt curled into Blaine, soon falling fast asleep with Blaine’s arms surrounding him. Blaine gazed out the window completely content.

Florence at 1:30 was casual with people in the square, some eating, some drinking, some just sitting and enjoying the sunny day. They were lucky to be checked in at The Continentale just a few minute’s walk from the Ponte Vecchio and Piazza Della Signoria. Actually, it was so centrally located that most of the attractions were just a walk away. After checking in, they met in the lobby and walked as a group to the Piazza where they were eating lunch and then starting the tour. “Stephan, we are free for dinner tonight correct?” Blaine was confirming that they could leave as they pleased.

“Yes you are. Do you need any suggestions, Blaine?”

“Nope. I am good and quite familiar.” Blaine pasted on his dapper smile.

“Of Course you do. Visited often?”

“A bit. It’s not as busy as Rome, but Granddad has offices here.”

“Ah. I see. We are going to eat lunch here with a little free time after lunch. Then we will go to see Santa Croce and cross the Ponte Vecchio. Tomorrow morning early we will visit Palazzo Pitti, the Boboli Gardens and then the bus will take us to the Duomo before we stop for your concert. We expect to be on the road by 5:00 and in Venice by 9:00. ”

Kurt was talking to Rachel, Finn, Wes and David. Kurt smiled broadly at Blaine as he joined them. “Where were you?”

“Just talking to Stephan.Planning some things.” He winked. Kurt wondered if that wink would ever stop getting his heart beating. Kurt reached out for Blaine’s hand to hold. Blaine brought his hand to his face to plant a sweet kiss on the backside of his hand. “We are still waiting for the room to be ready. I have some preparations for Puck and Lauren to make. I actually already did some on the train while you slept, thanks to free Wi-Fi.”

“I truly have no idea how you do it.” Kurt was amazed. “How is my boyfriend the love guru?”

“You really don’t know?”

“I think I do, but you amaze me.” Blaine had already booked the carriage ride to a local chocolate factory for Puck.

“I promise to remind you later how romantic I can be.” Blaine kissed him gently and ran his tongue across Kurt’s lip. He pulled away. “I just wanted a taste.” Blaine squeezed Kurt’s hand.

Blaine and Kurt were fixtures with Wes and David when it came to meals. It seemed to be the only time that the council could talk to Blaine about any changes in the set list. Kurt listened because he really just wanted to know what Blaine would be singing. Blaine was cryptic about a new song he wanted to add. “Find me a guitar and I will play it for you.”

“You guys are becoming the dueling soloists. It’s totally sweet how you both try to outdo each other with love songs.”

“We aren’t doing that.” To Blaine it wasn’t a contest. It was a show of love to sing to Kurt.

“You will love this one. I have played it years. Just not recently but it is a great song.” Blaine was pleading.

Wes finally relented. “Fine, we will listen to it later. You guys are making everyone jealous of your relationship. I’m going to have to put my foot down at some point.” Wes was joking.

Lunch completed, most everyone visited the outdoor museum in the square that housed a replica of David and the very famous statue of Perseus with the head of Medusa. The squared housed the Fountain of Neptune. It was very busy. Kurt glanced around suddenly thinking about Paul and if he were here. There would be no way to even see him in this busy square. “Blaine. We should make sure to stay close to the group. I am worried. It is so crowded.”

“We’re okay as long as there are big crowds. Paul wouldn’t be stupid enough to try anything out here.” Blaine took Kurt’s hand and squeezed tightly.

The group traveled together easing any nervousness that Kurt had and visited the Basilica of Santa Croce. “This is the largest Franciscan Church in the World. Michelangelo and Galileo are both entombed here. This is as much a museum as it is a church. Everyone must please treat this with respect as it is still a place of prayer. Make sure to view the Giotto frescoes in this church. The church is a true work of art.”

Blaine and Kurt wandered the church with Finn and Rachel. “How’re you holding up buddy?”

“Okay. I don’t understand why he wants me so much, Finn. I barely talked to him at the concert.” They paused to look at some art and Finn took a glance around the room. He was ever protective of his brother.

“I don’t know Kurt. Maybe he’s created this vision of you that is perfect and something he has to have. I am worried about you and I think you should consider cutting this trip short.” Finn put his hand on Kurt’s shoulder.

“No. I can’t hide, Finn. I’m done hiding. Blaine and I need to be able to go out in public like other couples. We need to be able to have a life.” Kurt looked sad, but when he looked at Finn there was hope in his eyes. “You are the best brother I could ask for. I sometimes wish that I set Carole up with dad sooner so that we could’ve started being brothers sooner.”

Finn was a bit teary eyed after that confession. “I love you too, Bro. You know….”

“Yeah Finn.” Kurt laughed at Finn’s need to always clarify how he loved Kurt. “Finn, I am worried more about Blaine’s safety then my own. Paul said a few things in the bathroom that I never told you guys about. He talked about getting rid of my perfect soloist, leader of a boyfriend. In some ways, he thought by getting rid of Blaine, he could have me.”

“Kurt, the guy was crazy which is why I am still worried. I hope they find him, but we will always be at your backs.”

They continued on, not mentioning the subject again. “Hey you. This is pretty cool stuff, huh?”

“Yeah. It is. I know I don’t believe in God, but this art is incredible. I can’t believe how old some of it is.”

“Babe? Are you okay?” Blaine wanted to know what Kurt and Finn had talked about. “Did Finn say something?”

“Not really. He told me to consider going home early from this trip. You know, for safety purposes.”

“He is a good brother.”

“I know. I know he loves me.”

The Ponte Vecchio was the coolest place. “The Ponte Vecchio is over the Arno River built in medieval times at the smallest width. There have always been shops on this bridge dating back to medieval times when butchers shops and food sellers lined it, but even today it is a marketplace of sorts. There are jewelers and souvenir shops that are housed on this bridge. I don’t recommend buying jewelry here. You will find it cheaper in other places.” Stephan finished. “You are on your own the rest of the evening. If you need help getting somewhere, I will be at the hotel. I printed a walking map for everyone and circled our hotel. It is very easy to get around Florence. If I don’t see you tonight, we will meet again tomorrow morning around 8:00.”

Blaine and Kurt had been followed by someone all day or had been surrounded by their friends all day. It was a nice feeling to know that there were so many people that cared. They window shopped but soon felt a need to be alone. “What do you want to do Kurt?”

“Can we go back to the hotel for a while and then dinner?” Kurt looked at Blaine hopeful that it would be okay. “I’m feeling a little suffocated.”

“Of course. I would like to be alone for a little bit too.” Blaine smiled and took Kurt’s hand. They walked for a bit to the middle of the bridge where they could look out over the city and the river. It was beautiful. The just stood for a few moments holding hands there. No words spoken.

In the distance, Rachel saw them and snapped a picture. She was so proud of herself being able to get these rare pictures of the two of them.
