Good Old Fun

Morning came far too quickly for the boys, but today was too busy to even worry about how tired they were or to revel in the evening. The boys showered quickly today, both too tired to even think about sex or need. They needed to get cleaned off and dressed because today would be the first time they got to perform in days. Blaine and Kurt were antsy in anticipation of finally being able to perform for people. Sure performing for friends and family was fun, but it didn’t carry the same adrenaline rush as performing for strangers.

At breakfast, Blaine and Kurt found themselves in the familiar company of Wes and David talking about the Warbler song list. “Time to payback Blaine. You will be singing Raise Your Glass, Misery, Teenage Dream, Dynamite, Just the Way You Are and Bye, Bye, Bye. We will be practicing at 3:00 o’clock sharp so be ready.”

Kurt’s eyes were shocked. That was putting Blaine in a situation to sing eight solos or leads. That was a lot. “The Warblers mean business when they say you need to pay.” Kurt laughed.

“Kurt, I think you have your work cut out for you too. New Directions have been looking forward to seeing you sing again and we decided to let you and Blaine sing candles unless you guys want to sing the new one you did.”

Kurt looked a Blaine hoping that he would agree. “Candles is really about being alone, I would much rather sing All That You Are. What do you think?”

“I am with you Kurt. A much more inspiring song.” Blaine nodded in agreement.
Mr. Shue walked up to talk to the boys, pulling up a chair and turning it around to straddle it backwards. “Good Morning. Talking set list?”

“Yes, Mr. Shue. We are definitely putting Blaine to work. He’s soft.” Wes laughed at the fact that even without performing, Blaine would never forget anything that he did. He was a true performer. Wes shared the list of songs that Blaine would be singing. “So what’s in store for our boy, Kurt?”

“Kurt, we are also in favor of using you since you have been gone for a few days. Kurt will be performing Born This Way, Defying Gravity, Bad Romance has just been added as was I Want to Hold your Hand. Defying Gravity will be a solo unless you want Rachel to sing it with you. I’m sure she wouldn’t mind. You still have your responsibilities with all the other group songs too. Be ready at practice.” Kurt was stunned.

“Payback sucks. I won’t even have time to think between songs.” Kurt was a little annoyed. “But, I do get to perform a lot and I was missing the stage.”

“Just the way I like it Babe. Me and you showing everyone what we got.” Blaine locked eyes with Kurt. Wes snickered. “Not that way Wes.” Blaine didn’t even skip a beat with response to Wes' dirty mind.

“We don’t want to know or see what you got Blaine.” Wes retorted.

“You only wish you had me.” Blaine winked at Kurt.

Stephan gathered everyone after breakfast. “We will be walking today people so if you want to change your shoes, you have about 15 minutes before we head out the door. We are going to make a big circle and see sights as we walk. Be back here at this spot at 9:00 AM for our Amsterdam walking tour.”

“Wes, did you guys go to the Red Light District last night?” Finn and Puck walked up at that time.

“Nope. Finn, did you guys go?” Wes looked to them.

Finn looked bummed. “Do you think Rachel let me go? No. We went shopping.” Puck rolled his eyes.

“Me and Lauren walked around it last night. It was unbelievable dudes. It’s only a few blocks away from here. There were women in the windows. Some were like totally hot, then some were not and they would try to get our attention. One tried to get us both in a room with her, but man.. I don’t know.” Puck scratched the top of his head. “I wanted to go into one of the places. There were places you could watch them.”

Finn felt like he missed something cool. He wanted to at least say he had seen it. It wasn’t like he planned on having sex with any of them. “I want to go, but I don’t think we have time after the concert and then we leave tomorrow after an afternoon show.”

Puck spoke up. “I say we sneak out after curfew.”

“Puck, while I am as horny as the next guy, as a leader, I shouldn’t be condoning that behavior.” Wes was being the straight up guy but David and Blaine could see that there was some question in his face.

Blaine finally addressed it. “Wes, I can tell you are thinking about it. I know you too well Wes. You are terrible at hiding secrets.”

Puck went with it. He was good at putting the pressure on, especially when it came to breaking the rules. “Blaine, you and Kurt should come with me and Wes.” Puck winked at Blaine because he knew that would seal the deal with Wes.

“Puck, why should I be interested in seeing a bunch of prostitutes? Females?” Kurt was vaguely paying attention to the conversation. He was actually a bit interested in seeing the sex stores and possible checking some things out to see if there were things that he and Blaine were not trying. He blushed as he thought it.

Blaine leaned over to say something and noticed the blush. He whispered. “Kurt, what interesting thoughts are going through your mind?” Kurt raised his eyes to Blaine knowing that they never lied and he showed embarrassment for what he was thinking. “Kurt, we should go. We probably won’t come back here much.” Kurt questioned Blaine’s reasoning for going.

“Gay section!” Puck said as if Kurt was being an idiot. “There is a gay area very close. There are sex shops too. Maybe you and lover boy can buy some stuff to spruce of your sex life.” That caused Kurt to blush all the way to his hairline and Blaine immediately knew that Puck hit the nail on the head.

Blaine wanted to keep the attention off of Kurt, so he shot Puck a death stare. “You really think I’m not good enough to keep it interesting, Puck?” Kurt smiled because there were no complaints except maybe Blaine bottoming every now and then might be interesting. “However, you do have my interest and I have never been there so I would like to at least say I saw it.” Blaine needed to make sure that no one would rat them out. “Wes, what do you say?”

“Fine. You guys are right. I’m in.” As it turned out, it would be 6 of them sneaking out. Wes, David, Blaine, Kurt, Finn and Puck would be pushing the envelope by sneaking out and going to the Red Light District late.

The group started the mile walk to the Anne Frank House. The group had a reserved time for this visit and tickets were purchased long ago. Kurt internalized his feelings for this visit because he identified with the struggle. The Frank family and others were Jews and just by being Jews they were not allowed the same liberties as others. This was a sore subject that Kurt often turned in his head. They were born to that heritage just as he was born gay.

As they arrived, they had a short wait for another group, but were soon being guided into the home. Kurt felt great sadness and Blaine watched over him as he too felt the sadness of what people were forced into during war time. Blaine held Kurt’s hand tightly as they walked and listened to their guide. They looked at pictures and read pieces of history before them. Kurt identified far too much with man’s inhumanity to other men. Kurt found himself reflecting on his own life and wondering if he were this young girl, would anyone have cared about his suffering in his young life.

“Are you okay, Babe?” Blaine was truly concerned with Kurt’s clearly sad state.

“Yeah. I’m fine. It just makes me sad. All of this makes me sad. She had to live here and hide and spend two years hiding herself just because she was Jewish.” Kurt looked at Blaine and saw that it pained him to see Kurt sad. “I just feel so lucky Blaine. I’m alive, I have you and I have our families and they love us. I feel so, so, lucky. She never got to feel what I feel right now.”

Blaine reasoned with Kurt to try and inflate his spirits. “She may not have gotten to feel what you feel now, but she speaks even after her death. She lives on, through people like you who are strong and continue to be who you are and not change because someone says it’s wrong.” Blaine pulled Kurt into a tender hug. “I feel lucky too.”

Kurt had had enough of the house and Blaine and he decided to wait outside for the rest of the group. “So the Van Gogh Museum next?”

“After we eat lunch, Yep. Are you okay Kurt?”

“Yeah. Totally fine. Why are you so worried about me?”

“Well first, we talked about sneaking out tonight to go to the Red Light District. You don’t want to and I understand, but I really think it would be cool to say that we’ve been.” Blaine understood that that type of thing wasn’t everyone’s dream. “Listen, if you don’t want to go, I’ll stay with you and we will just turn in for the night.”

“I don’t want to keep you from something and I would feel guilty.”

“Why would I want to be anywhere without you, my love?” Blaine cupped Kurt’s completely saddened face in his hands and kissed him on the cheek. “Do I have to keep reminding you? I am not doing anything this summer if it’s not with you.”

“Then it’s settled, we go.” Kurt gave Blaine a half smile.

“Wait a minute. I thought we just decided that you didn’t really want to go and we were going to stay in.”

“Our relationship has always been about trusting each other and sharing. I don’t want you to give up seeing this in person.” Kurt’s hands on either side of Blaine’s. “This is give and take. I am going to go with you because it’s the right thing to do.”

The group took the subway to the next place which was the Skinny Bridge, where they would also eat lunch. The morning at Anne Frank’s house now behind them. They sat in a caf� and enjoyed a favorite American meal. Burgers and Fries. Kurt felt after such a heart wrenching morning, he was allowed to indulge on burgers and fries. The group ate as they looked over the bridge. They had spent two and a half hours at Anne Frank’s house and they would have around three hours at the Van Gogh Museum before practicing at 3:00. They would leave for the school at 5:30 and start performing at 6:30 and a late dinner at 7:30 with the school choir.

They spent the afternoon with Van Gogh learning about this man that led a maniacal life. He transferred much energy into painting and drawing. It was an amazing museum and the numbers of artworks housed there were incredible. Blaine and Kurt enjoyed it, but again Kurt was faced with learning about this man. His relationship with his brother, who was his best friend, was lived through many letters. They were close and are buried together. It seemed that Van Gogh’s mental illness would get the best of him. Kurt was depressed yet again from the talent of this person only to be unstable as a person.

Kurt was ready to end this depressing day with something positive, so he was looking forward to the concert. As they headed back to their hotel to prepare for the afternoon practice, Blaine took his hand and remained silent knowing that Kurt would talk when he was ready. Blaine didn’t really need to hear anything right now. He was there for Kurt’s comfort. He would always be there for his future husband and best friend.

Practice was surprisingly good. Blaine missed a few minor marked dance details and Kurt missed a few words but overall they both did amazing having not performed in 4 or 5 days. It felt more back to normal after practice and they retreated to their room to get ready. “Can we shower?” Kurt asked Blaine.

“Of Course, sweetheart. I know this was a rough day for you. I’m not sure what’s going on in your head, but I know you will tell me when you’re ready. Now let’s get in the shower and get cleaned up for this.” Blaine turned the water on and got in first, gently tugging Kurt in next. Blaine remained behind Kurt with his body pressed along the full length of Kurt. He just wanted Kurt to feel the comfort of Blaine being there with him. Blaine began to wash Kurt’s body. Every touch was full of love. Blaine wanted to wash away anything that bothered Kurt. He never should have to worry. He was such a big hearted kind person. “I hope I can wash all your worries away. I think you are an amazing and strong person. So, whatever you are thinking about is not worth the worry.” Blaine turned Kurt around to look at him. “Listen to me. You are an unbelievable person and I love you for being unbelievable.”

Kurt clung to Blaine the entire shower allowing him to wash his hair and body. Blaine was happy to give the support and hoped Kurt would be happier when they got to the concert. Blaine turned off the shower and led Kurt out of the shower wiping him with a towel and continued to gently urge him to get ready. Blaine had never seen him this depressed about anything and started to dress Kurt in his performance costume. Kurt accepted the help that was given him willingly. After dressing, Kurt stood in the mirror in the bathroom. Pulling out the hairdryer and turning it on, he just didn’t feel like doing his hair.

“Why am I so upset Blaine?” Blaine stood behind Kurt and gave him his best smile and began to style Kurt’s hair for him. “And why are you so good to me, Blaine?”

“Because I love you and this is what your husband does for you when you are not feeling well.” Blaine was losing the Kurt hair battle, but was still making an effort to get it the way Kurt would feel acceptable. “Babe, I’m really trying, but I don’t think I have the skill to do with your hair what you do.” Kurt turned to Blaine and saw the love in those golden hazel eyes that would belong to him forever. It dawned on him how much he had and how truly lucky he was. Yes, there were times when he felt so alone, but that would never happen ever again. Blaine loved him and Blaine would be with him forever. “Kurt?” Blaine questioned when Kurt stood still staring at him.

Kurt did not use any words. He closed his mouth on Blaine and kissed him hard. Tears flowed effortlessly from Kurt’s eyes. His heart was aching from the feelings he was having. Kurt was desperate as he pressed his tongue into Blaine’s mouth tasting Blaine. Tasting everything that was Blaine. Kurt was home, really home. Kurt slowed down and eventually parted from his love. “I love you Blaine. So much.”

In the next instant Blaine was on his knees with his mouth on Kurt sucking in earnest and paying special attention to the vein on the underside of Kurt’s cock. He loved Kurt’s taste and hoped that maybe for a moment, Kurt could be happy or not even thinking. Kurt always burdened himself with worry. Kurt moaned at the sensation of his loves tongue. “Please Blaine.” Kurt looked down at Blaine and Blaine’s eyes were shut and he was working hard on Kurt, swirling his tongue, twisting his has as he moved the length of Kurt over and over again. Just seeing Blaine enjoying this made Kurt so excited as he leaned against the counter for support as he came with a loud scream that sounded a lot like “Blaine.” Blaine stood wiped the corners of his mouth and redressed Kurt. Blaine turned Kurt back to the mirror and continued to fix Kurt’s hair with some hairspray.

“There. That’s the best I can do, Baby.” Kurt smiled wide. He did love Blaine with his entire being.

“It’s perfect. You’re perfect.” Kurt kissed Blaine one last time before spraying and brushing his hair himself. It wasn’t exactly how he styled it, but it meant so much more because Blaine had tried to do it for him and that’s what made it perfect.

The concert was in a really old hall next to the school that was rebuilt after World War II. The school’s choir was so much more like the New Directions. They sang a lot of new songs and many of them could play instruments. They killed One by U2. New directions actually sang along for part of it and when they did Journey, they invited New Directions to sing it with them because they had seen them on YouTube singing Don’t Stop Believing.

Blaine was jumping up and down singing with them from the audience as were all the Warblers. This concert was turning out to be the most fun of all the concerts so far. The group didn’t stop with New Directions, they watched videos of the Warblers too. They invited the Warblers to sing Tonight, Tonight with them. The end of the concert seemed to come too soon for all the singers and their parents. Dinner was catered in again and they ate alongside one of the canals. Tents were set up.

Blaine and Kurt were not together as they had been singing with their respective groups but their eyes soon found each other across the room. Blaine nodded to Kurt seeming to send his love and Kurt accepted it with his big smile and sparkling eyes. The last concert they were at was nothing like this. This was what the trip was all about. Their eyes met several times as they slowly made their way toward each other. Every time either one would attempt to meet the other, there was someone new to talk to. It was as if a maze was created to see if they could find each other. There really was no question about whether they would find each other, it was more when they would be able to touch each other and breathe each other in again.

Blaine and Kurt finally found each other and immediately entwined their fingers in the same comfort that spouses provide each other. They met so many wonderful people and shared songs and dance moves and stories about the groups. The party didn’t break up until almost 10:00. There were email addresses and names exchanged with promises to talk on Facebook. This was an unbelievable night.

For 6 people, the night was not really over.
