“Finn. Do you think this is funny?” Kurt was ready to lose it. “Will I need a warning about this?”

“I am not going to warn you at all. I think you know you should be worried. I think it’s funny, but you won’t think it’s funny. Blaine might think it is funny. Wait, nope, actually neither of you will think it’s funny.”

“Great. Shall we watch it?” Kurt offered.

Blaine pulled his laptop out of his messenger. “Let’s watch it on here. It will be easier to see the video. The Flip Screen is so small and I don’t think I’m in any shape to focus on the small screen.”

“I’m afraid to watch it.” Kurt was being totally serious about his fear and Blaine could see it.

“Baby, it doesn’t matter what happened as long as we are still together. Well, and as long as we didn’t do anything illegal or mean to anyone. Right?” Kurt nodded his understanding and placed his hand on Blaine’s lap preparing to grip it at the first scene.

Blaine plugged in the flip and saw new videos. He clicked on the first one. “Oh my God. Are we videotaping ourselves? Kissing? I look totally wasted.” Kurt was turning his head left and right trying to follow the shaky video. “I think you are videoing… and what the hell? It looks like I am trying to eat your face. Oh my God, do I do that all the time?”

Blaine chuckled. “I seem to like it a lot.” He kissed Kurt on the cheek to make him feel better, because he really looked like he was enjoying it. Next he heard himself commenting on Puck. “Well, Puck does have nice arms and look at you nodding like you are going to devour him! Ha.”

“Look at me. I look like a life size bobble head.” Kurt then saw the next scene. He must have been holding the camera. “What the hell are you doing?” Kurt clicked the screen to go back and re-watch the scene and listen again. He laughed. “You are trying to get as tall as Finn. Keep trying Sweetie.” Kurt leaned over and kissed Blaine on the cheek.

Blaine shoulder bumped his love away. “You’re so mean to me.”

“I’m sorry. I love you so much.” Kurt had a way of apologizing with his eyes. It never mattered what actually came out of his mouth. All that mattered were the words that Blaine could see in his eyes.

“God Kurt. I can never be mad at you. I love you so much.” Blaine leaned into Kurt’s neck and kissed and breathed in his cologne. He brought his mouth to Kurt’s ear. “Your eyes are so beautiful. You take my breath away.” Kurt turned his head and enveloped Blaine in a sweet, soft kiss.

“I don’t think I can ever say it enough Blaine. I love you.” Kurt looked Blaine in the eyes. He wanted to make sure Blaine really knew. “I can’t wait to marry you. I can’t wait for forever to start.” Blaine kissed Kurt again. Soft and sweet. They were in public and a little worried about people around them.

“Well boys, I see we are watching videos from last night.” Wes and David walked up behind them.

Kurt was a little annoyed, but was nice about being barged in upon. “Do you guys ever do anything apart. I’m starting to think you guys have a thing for each other.” Wes and David looked at each other and took a step back. Blaine and Kurt both laughed at the reaction. Blaine took Kurt’s hand and squeezed it.

“May we join this gay love fest?”

“I knew it Wes.” Kurt winked at him.

“My man, Kurt, you don’t intimidate me. I know you too well to let you completely freak me out.”

“Fine.” He looked at Blaine. “They were there after all. It’s not like they will see anything they didn’t already see.” Blaine nodded and hit play on the next video. They were kissing.

“Did we just kiss like crazy or what?” Kurt didn’t seem to think that they did a lot of kissing.

“Yeah.. You guys kiss a lot. But it’s cute really.” David was being nice. Of the two, David was always more serious than Wes. Wes loved to bug them. It was funny.

What happened next had Kurt slamming his head on the table. “Blaine. What is wrong with you when you get drunk? What happens to the Dalton filter.” Then he heard Blaine talk about Kurt tasting good. “Oh my God Blaine. Please don’t say it..please don’t..” Kurt closed his eyes hoping Blaine didn’t finish his thoughts on how Kurt tasted and thank God for brothers. “Of all that is good in the world. I am thankful for a brother that gets creeped out by intimacy!” Kurt sighed in relief.

“Ah, Kurt, you didn’t know that Blaine here doesn’t turn his filter on when he drinks. Or, is it better to say that when he’s drunk his filter shuts off automatically.” Wes enjoyed seeing Blaine on the defensive a little with Kurt. Blaine was always the suave and debonair one of the Warblers. He was squirming at the thought that his fianc� might get upset.

“His non-filtered mouth almost..” Kurt stopped because his filter was most definitely was on. “Just about said something that shouldn’t be said.”

“I’m sorry Baby. I guess my history of drinking should have been taken into consideration before actually drinking.” They had turned away from the video when they heard it. Kurt blushed and laid his head on Blaine’s shoulder. “Well, I kind of like being your Blainey Bear.”

Kurt grabbed Blaine in a hug. “You’ll always be my Blainey Bear.” All four boys laughed at it.

“Wes, I swear!” Blaine shouted after him and turned to Kurt with his arm around his shoulder. “Kurt… why do we even have friends. They are our worst enemies.”

“Yeah, but don’t they make life interesting?”

“I suppose.” Blaine smiled because Wes and David were very good friends. They would always be there for him and he knew it.

The group finally got to Dover and were meeting a new guide and boarding a new bus for the duration of their time here. They boarded the bus that was similar to the one they had before. Blaine and Kurt took their standard seats toward the back of the bus behind Wes and David as usual. “Can we never get rid of your friends Blaine?”

“They are your friends too. Just because you don’t go to Dalton anymore doesn’t mean they aren’t your friends anymore.”

“Duly noted.”

“Listen up everyone. This is our new tour guide for the last part of our trip.” Dean Royce announced over the speaker system.

Up stepped a young man in his mid to late 20’s. The girls started to whisper about how cute he was. “Good Morning everyone. My name is Ian and I will be your tour guide for the duration of your trip here in London. I am looking forward to meeting all of you in the next 2 days as I introduce you to London. We will be stopping in Canterbury on the way to London today and you will have free time tomorrow night and on your last night as well. We will be fitting quite a bit in the next 2 days and this afternoon so try to keep up and enjoy. Tonight, I will be leaving you after dinner at which time you will have free time for the night. I hear from your chaperones that there may be a little leniency with the curfew since you are nearing the end of your trip, but we’ll let you know.” He was very attractive with light brown hair and blue eyes that rivaled Kurt’s.

“My gaydar says yes.” Kurt leaned in to whisper in Blaine’s ear.

“I agree, my love. Do I need to worry?” Blaine looking to make eye contact with Kurt. “His eyes are just about as pretty as yours.”

“Huh? Do I need to worry?”

“No worries. I only have eyes for you.” Blaine grinned. “Plus, you’ll be far too busy to think about Ian here.”

“Oh, is that so?”

“It is! I have plans for you my dear. I think, you’ll like it.”

“Blaine, you have done too much already. I don’t have any idea how I will make it up to you.” Kurt was worried. “How can I ever feel like an equal if you keep treating me with stuff.. nice stuff.”

“I have so many ideas of how you can repay me.” Blaine looked into Kurt’s eyes and Kurt could see what he did to Blaine. His lips were on Kurt’s in a matter of seconds as Blaine worked to melt Kurt into a puddle of goo. Blaine licked and sucked on Kurt’s lip before dipping into taste what would be his for a lifetime.

“Blaine. Our friends.. the bus..” Kurt was being sensible.

“Crap. How do I lose my mind with you sometimes.”

“Because I am irresistible and charming and I have an ass to die for.”

“Oh.. Right. You forgot that you have the most perfect talented mouth.”

“I love you Blaine.” Kurt pulled away from his lips and settled back into his seat a little more excited than necessary for a trip to Canterbury.

“Canterbury dates back to 597 AD when St Augustine was sent by Pope Gregory the Great to establish a seat here. It was in 1170 when Archbishop Thomas Becket was assassinated that brought notoriety to this cathedral mainly due to Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales. When we visit the cathedral, please be aware that this is a real cathedral. Services may be going on and work is being done here. We will be on a guided tour when we arrive in about 15 minutes. Sit tight and I’ll guide you to where you need to be as soon as we exit the bus.”

As the bus arrived, Ian advised them that they would not be spending much more time after the guided tour since they would need to get to London and the hotel prior to a concert planned for tonight. Kurt had walked a little further ahead with Rachel leaving Blaine a few minutes on his own. “Hi Ian, I’m Blaine Anderson.”

“Ah, so you’re the one I heard about.” Blaine’s forehead crinkled in confusion. “Stephan told me about you.”

“Oh. I didn’t know that you would know each other.”

“Well we work for the same company that was hired. So, I would know him.” Ian laughed and opened conversation with a question. “So, what do you need from me so that you can continue to romance your boyfriend?”

“He’s my fianc�. Stephan must have not told you.”

“Sorry Blaine, but aren’t you guys a little young?”

“Maybe, but I think when you’ve been through all of the things we’ve been through as a couple and figure out how to stay together even in the face of this adversity, you can be together for a long time. I plan to be with Kurt until I am buried 6 feet under.” Blaine glanced around looking for Kurt. “Do you have one?”

“One what? A boyfriend?” Ian cocked his head to the side.
“Or a girlfriend I suppose, but if I’m as smart as I think I am, it would be boyfriend.”

“You would be smart Mr. Anderson and no, not at present. However, not your business.”

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to pry.”

“It’s okay. So, what do you need me to obtain for you on this trip?”

“I need balcony tickets to Wicked for our last night here. Do you think you can get those for me?” Blaine smiled. “I guess that you already know I can get them if need be, but I would rather you take care of it for me.”

“I’ll make a call and see what I can do for you.” Ian smirked. “I’ll let you know later today?”

“Sounds good.”

Rachel and Kurt were talking and walking in the direction where the groups were to go for guided tours. “Can you believe that our trip will be over in two days?”

“I know and Blaine said he has some awesome plans for us for the next two days in London. He never ceases to amaze me with his planning.” Kurt glanced over to see Blaine talking to Ian and looked like he was asking him something, but Ian put his arm on Blaine’s hand. It was sort of personal.

Rachel noticed Kurt tense. “Kurt. Don’t overthink things. I see you overanalyzing Blaine’s conversation. He only has eyes for you Kurt.”

“I know Rachel, but I can’t help noticing when a gay man is touching MY man.”

“How do you even know?”

“Believe me, It is obvious from a gay man’s perspective, otherwise known as gaydar! He is cute isn’t he?”

“Who Blaine?

“No. Ian.”

“Well yeah, but Kurt, Blaine loves you and he’s marrying you. If I know Blaine the way I do, he is planning a night for you right now.” Rachel took Kurt’s hand and squeezed tight looking Kurt in the eyes. “Don’t let the jealousy get to you. He is not flirting or asking this guy out. Everyone can see it. He is so in love with you, Kurt.”

“I know, but I can’t help but second guess what he sees in me. He is so, God, so different from me. I will never understand what he sees in me.”

“Kurt, we all see it in you. Finn always says what a good heart you have. It’s true. You are so inspiring for people and you don’t see it all the time. You are good to people even when they have bashed you for just being you. You continue to be yourself, regardless of the things you go through, regardless of the words of hate and you make everything your own. I love that about you. I never want to see you back away and be someone you’re not.” Rachel really had love for Kurt. True friendship.

“Rachel, I love you too.” They hugged with tears in their eyes. “Finn is so lucky to have you, even though you can go crazy when it comes to solos.” They both laughed loudly.

“I know, I guess I can be somewhat of a diva.”

“Somewhat. You are the queen of performance. But, under all that, there is a big heart that loves my brother and he is lucky to have you.”

“I hope I get to be your sister in law someday.”

“Me too!” They continued to walk holding hands. Kurt glanced back at the adorable Ian and Blaine talking and shaking heads in understanding. Of what, Kurt had no idea, but decided that Rachel was most definitely right. Blaine would not cheat on Kurt. He knew it with every bone in his body. They were tethered to one another. By the heart.

The tour of Canterbury Cathedral lasted over an hour. It was almost 12:30 by the time they got to Old Weavers Restaurant which was on the river. It had been built during the medieval times and while it was a restaurant now, it had been everything from a weaver shop, baker shop, jewelers and laundrette. Blaine and Kurt took the usual seats with Wes and David. “You know, we have a show tonight?” Wes mentioned in passing like he didn’t really care.

“You don’t seem concerned that we are in Canterbury and still have to drive all the way to London before we have to sing in like 5 hours.” Blaine crinkled his forehead and held his hand out Weses forehead checking for a temperature. David cracked up.

“We are almost done. I think we’ve about exhausted our complete repertoire and I think we are entirely practiced out. Everyone seems tired.” Wes implied that he was tired too.

“Last night was tiring. Sorry. But, I know a song that Kurt and I could sing to freshen things up.”

“Another love song?” Kurt smiled at Blaine because it always is. Blaine was such a romantic really and Kurt loved it.

“Naturally.”

“We’ll have to take out your other and replace it.”

“That’s fine, but we won’t be ready until tomorrow.” Blaine took Kurt’s hand as a signal not to say that he didn’t know what was going on, though he didn’t. “…And I need a piano or keyboard.” Kurt was truly mystified now because Blaine never said anything as he gave him a squeeze of his hand.

“Sure, sing it for the council tomorrow, okay?” Wes dug into his meal.

“Sure. We’ll be ready.”

“Hello Blaine, Kurt.” Ian appeared out of now
here. Kurt was a little uneasy still because of how he touched Blaine’s arm before. “Are you enjoying yourselves?” There it was again. He put his hand on Blaine’s shoulder and Blaine didn’t seem to think it was weird. “Blaine, can I have a second? You don’t mind Kurt, do you?”

“Of course not.” Yet inside Kurt was jealous as can be. Blaine rose and Ian took him by the elbow to a spot about 15 feet away and Blaine was smiling big and nodding his head.

“Great! You’re awesome.” That was all Kurt could hear before Blaine squeezed Ian’s arm and turned back to Kurt.

He kissed Kurt on the head. Kurt couldn’t help himself. “Everything alright?”

Blaine had the biggest smile on his face. “Yeah, things are great.” Blaine looked like he was on cloud nine and Ian had put him there. Kurt put his head down not wanting Blaine to see his worry.

Blaine immediately sensed Kurt locking him out and took his hand leading him outside away from everyone. “What’s wrong Kurt.” Kurt shook his head. Tears were filling his eyes and he was trying to hide them but knew Blaine would see them immediately. Blaine knew him too well. Kurt couldn’t speak. “Hey. He ran his fingers through the side of Kurt’s hair. Baby? Please tell me. Don’t shut me out.”

Kurt’s heart warmed because of the care and love he could see in Blaine’s eyes. Now the tears fell because he realized Rachel was right. He was overreacting. “I’m sorry. I thought for a minute..” He trailed off a bit.

“What Kurt?” Blaine held his face in his hands. His eyes pleaded for him to say what it was. “Please. I can’t make it right if I don’t know.”

Kurt hesitated. “I was jealous.” The tears continued. Kurt was ashamed. “I saw him touch your arm earlier and then just now you touching him and smiling, just made me think for a minute that you would be so much better with someone else.”

“Oh, Kurt.” Blaine took him into his arms and Kurt wrapped his arms tight around Blaine soaking in the warmth and love Blaine had to give. “You can never think that way again. We are going to be together forever Kurt. You have to know that.”

“I do. I just sometimes think that this is a fairytale and I’ll wake up and you’ll be gone.”

“You have at least one thing right. This is a fairytale and we both got the fairytale.” Blaine kissed Kurt tenderly at first, breathing in all that was Kurt, deepening the kiss as he dipped his tongue into Kurt’s open and accepting mouth just aching to taste Blaine’s lips, Blaine’s mouth, everything that was Blaine. Kurt gasped at the feel of Blaine’s lips taking a tender hold of his tongue sucking gently at it before releasing and sucking in his upper lip licking it and caressing it with his tongue. Kurt moaned as he felt his arousal making it known. “When you wake up. I will be there, always.”

Blaine pressed his forehead to Kurt’s as they were both breathing heavily into each other eyes locked into a blue and hazel haze. One couldn’t tell what the other was thinking but sure that those were the eyes they would want to wake up to everyday.

The bus ride to London was expected to be about 1 � hours. “Kurt. We have some work to do on our song.” Blaine made sure to always keep a hand on Kurt to show him how much he needed Kurt to believe in him, in them. “You will love this song. Ready to hear it?” Blaine handed Kurt the earphones and waited for him to put them in his ears. “Ready Baby?”

Kurt smiled and the music started with piano. The music drifting through his mind and he was hooked. The song was beautiful. Kurt closed his eyes to take in the harmonies that he knew they would sound awesome doing together. As the song ended, he opened his to find Blaine just looking at him. Kurt smiled so wide. “I loved it. We are going to kill this song Blaine. I can’t wait to sing it with you.”

Let’s listen together. That way we can cut out some time in learning it. The boys were in their own world humming harmonies and gazing into each other’s eyes. They were trying to keep quiet with the song so that it would be a surprise to everyone. Before they knew it, they almost had it perfect and they arrived at Hotel 41 in London where they would be staying for the next 3 nights. It was already 4:00 and they would be getting ready to go at 5:30 for the concert. It was becoming clockwork for the group. They knew it the show would be about 1 hour and then dinner was usually around 7:00 directly after the show. They would be back at the hotel by 9:00 at the latest giving them just enough time to get into trouble. Blaine had some plans for the 2 of them.

Blaine and Kurt were anxious to try their song out already. They hadn’t even sang for Wes and David yet, but Blaine really, really wanted to sing the song. “Wes, PLEASE! I know you haven’t heard it yet, but I promise you’ll love it. Have I ever let you down.”

Wes was really at the end of his rope with whining. Kurt left to talk to Mr. Shue about the song and wanting to do it at the concert this evening. Mr. Schue finally agreed to talk with Wes about letting them do it. Just then Blaine came over to hear the news. “Blaine, Kurt just convinced me to talk to Wes, David and Thad about you guys singing a duet. I trust both of you so I approved it. I know Kurt would never do anything that wasn’t ready.

Wes agreed and there they were ready to take the stage. It was such a top secret at this point that Blaine insisted on announcing the song himself. It came midway through their second set of songs. Kurt wasn’t quite prepared on how they would enter the stage, but he trusted Blaine and let him take the lead. After all, the song was coming after a Warbler song. The rest of the Warblers retreated to the sides of the stage and Blaine came center with his microphone as the Warblers rolled the Baby Grand Piano out. Blaine was so charming. “This next song means a lot to me. I fell in love with someone 7 months ago. I didn’t even know I was in love or that I believed in love at first sight by I can tell you with full certainty that it does exist, if your heart is open and ready for the adventure. I’m so grateful that mine was open and ready and I wouldn’t ever take it back.” Kurt was tearing up. “What makes this even more special for me is that I’m gay and I never thought that I would be allowed to have what I have now with my boyfriend. I am proud to say that I love a man. I’m even more proud to say that I love Kurt Hummel. Please join me in welcoming my better half out here with me to sing.” Kurt walked out and took Blaine’s hand without hesitation and then leaned in to give him a small chaste kiss and waved to the audience.

Blaine took a seat at the piano and hooked up his mic to the piano. He started the music and Kurt joined him on the bench for a second before getting up and facing him from the font of the piano.
Kurt:
Lyin’ here with you so close to me
It’s hard to fight these feelings when it feels so hard to breathe
Caught up in this moment
Caught up in your smile

Blaine:
I’ve never opened up to anyone
so hard to hold back when I’m holding you in my arms

Both:
we don’t need to rush this
let’s just take this slow

Blaine and Kurt were looking at each other and there was not a person who could deny the love they had for each other. Kurt glanced around to all of their friends and tears were in their eyes. Rachel was crying.

just a kiss on your lips in the moonlight
just a touch in the fire burning so bright
and I don’t want to mess this thing up
I don’t want to push too far
just a shot in the dark that you just might
be the one I’ve been waiting for my whole life
so baby I’m alright, with just a kiss goodnight

Kurt:
I know that if we give this a little time
it will only bring us closer to the love we wanna find
it’s never felt so real,
no it’s never felt so right

Both:
just a kiss on your lips in the moonlight
just a touch in the fire burning so bright
and I don’t want to mess this thing up
I don’t want to push too far
just a shot in the dark that you just might
be the one I’ve been waiting for my whole life
so baby I’m alright, with just a kiss goodnight
no I don’t want to say goodnight

I know it’s time to leave,
but you’ll be in my dreams

Blaine:
tonight

Kurt:
tonight

Both:
tonight

Both:
just a kiss on your lips in the moonlight
just a touch in the fire burning so bright
and I don’t want to mess this thing up
I don’t want to push too far
just a shot in the dark that you just might
be the one I’ve been waiting for my whole life

so baby I’m alright,
oh, let’s do this right, with just a kiss goodnight

with a kiss goodnight
kiss goodnight

The room erupted as Blaine stood from the piano and took Kurt into his arms in front of everyone. Blaine kissed him with as much fervor as if they were alone in this. Blaine grabbed his mic. “Thank you so much for sharing that with me and Kurt.”

Kurt leaned in. “I can’t wait to get you back to our room tonight.” Kurt closed his eyes as they met with a hug and Kurt could feel his heart beating out of his chest for the curly haired boy with hazel eyes once more. He was met with Blaine’s heartbeat and there in that moment…. They were one…
