McKinley High was now buzzing with excitement, they had just gotten back from Thanksgiving break and most of the students and faculty was counting the days until Christmas break.

Kurt happily skipped down the halls, well not skipping. Kurt Hummel would never skip, but he just figured out the perfect gift to get Blaine. And while Christmas was still a couple of weeks away, he couldn't wait.

"Hey you," Kurt kissed Blaine on the cheek.

Blaine looked over at Kurt and laughed, "Why are you so happy?"

"Its Christmas time," Kurt exclaimed, "And it snowed last night and I think I have the perfect idea for some things we can do during the break. I mean we should totally go skating and I know it's not my favorite, but you mentioned sledding."

Blaine's face fell, "Um, Kurt those all sound like fun but I'm not really home during the break."

"What do you mean?" Kurt asked.

"We visit our family in Michigan," Blaine said to him, "We've done it forever now. I mean it's a huge thing, all of my aunts and uncles, cousins and second cousins, we have like three different Christmases too. Mostly because of my Uncle George doesn't really talk to my Uncle Carl anymore. It's quite annoying, and now I'm just rambling."

"That's fine," Kurt said to him, his smile now gone.

"I'm sorry," Blaine touched Kurt's arm, "I mean I'll be home for three or four days before I leave."

"Will you be back for New Years?" Kurt asked him.

Blaine shook his head, "Sorry, like I said huge party animals in my family."

"Can't you get out of it?" Kurt asked and then he knew he sounded juvenile, "I'm sorry I shouldn't have asked that."

"No, trust me," Blaine sighed, "I hate going most of the time, but it's family tradition. I tried to get out of it when I went to Dalton, begged actually to stay. No luck."

Kurt nodded and then stood up, "Right, it's fine. I'm sure I'll keep busy while you're gone."

"We can talk everyday," Blaine squeezed Kurt's hand, "That is if I can any privacy. I mean my parents are quiet people until they drink." He gave a smile, "I guess that's why I don't mind going all of the time. I think they need the break."

"Enjoy your time," Kurt lifted their joined hands and kissed Blaine's hand, "I still get you for three days and I will fill it with all the jam packed Christmas time fun I can think of."

Blaine smiled, "I will look forward to that, but right now I have to class because we are having a test before break."

"Good idea," Kurt said and kissed him on the cheek, "See you later." Blaine walked away and Kurt started hatching his plans for the few days he had to spend with Blaine.

School kept the pair busy for the couple weeks. The Glee Club was doing a Christmas show for the school. Kurt had promised he would come and help if they needed anything.

The school didn't seem to care all that much when the New Directions sang their songs. They were polite and clapped at the end. Kurt let out a whistle and clapped harder than anyone else.

After the football players made fun of him, Kurt just went back to his seat and smiled knowing what he had planned for Blaine started tonight.

Blaine grinned widely as he approached Kurt, who had a large coat on covering his cheerleading uniform, "You look like you are up to something."

"I am," Kurt smiled, "Actually since our break started after school today, I have something special planned since you're leaving on Tuesday."

"Where to?" Blaine took Kurt's hand.

Kurt started to lead them to his car, "It's a surprise, but I know you'll love it." They both got in the car and Kurt started to drive. Blaine whined and asked if they were there yet, and Kurt just gave him a look.

"But Kurrrt," Blaine pulled on Kurt's arm, "You have been driving for almost an hour and it's getting dark out."

"That's sort of the point," Kurt smiled, "And just a bit longer now."

Blaine sat back down in his seat and fiddled with the seat belt wondering what exactly Kurt had up his sleeve.

Kurt finally turned down a dirt road and then he went a bit off road. He pulled a stop and put the car in park, "We are here."

"We aren't anywhere," Blaine said.

"Yes we are," Kurt nodded, "On my list I had decorate the Christmas tree, but my family doesn't do that until a week before Christmas and your family already did it. So we have to make due." He opened his door and hopped out of the car going to the back.

Blaine followed him and when Kurt opened the back, he was surprised to see Christmas decorations piled in the back. "What are we doing?"

"We are going to find a tree out here and decorate it," Kurt said, "I think it will really bring a touch of flare to nature."

"I love you," Blaine smiled at him. He leaned over to kiss him. "Alright, what should do first?"

"First we need to find a tree," Kurt said as he picked up a box, "Can you grab that box."

"Sure," Blaine picked up the box and then the two started to look for a tree.

After they picked one out, the couple started to decorate it. Kurt even teased Blaine when he couldn't reach the higher branches. They decorated the tree and finally took a step back to admire their handy work. The small generator Kurt brought lit the lights up brightly.

"I think it's great," Kurt smiled.

Blaine wrapped an arm around Kurt's waist, "Yeah, I do too."

Kurt then reached into the bag he brought and pulled out a Polaroid camera, "We need to capture the moments and then when you're in Michigan you can pull this out to remember me."

Blaine felt his heart soar, "I love that idea."

They took a picture of the tree and then them in front of the tree. Blaine leaned over and surprised Kurt with a kiss which he accident hit the button.

"Oops," Kurt said as he took the next picture out and set it down, "I wonder if that one will come?"

"I think it will," Blaine smiled, "That should definitely go on the first page."

Kurt leaned over to press their lips together again. He pulled on Blaine's scarf to pull him closer.

The next day, Kurt took Blaine to the ice rink and they took pictures of one another acting silly while skating. Then they went to the Lima Bean for some hot cocoa and lunch. Blaine said they had to take pictures of that too.

Kurt thought it was a bit silly, but he posed taking a drink from his cup with his pinky sticking out. Blaine laughed as he took the picture and set it down on the table to start developing.

After that Kurt took Blaine sledding on the hill and found that the pictures from that were the best so far.

Dropping Blaine off at home that night, Kurt leaned over and kissed him. "I'll start organizing these tonight," he patted the bag with the pictures in them.

"I want all of them, even the ones where you say your hair is messed up," Blaine smiled as he exited the car. He walked into his house and turned around to wave at him before opening the door stepping inside.

Kurt just laughed to himself as he put his car in reverse and drove away from Blaine's house.

Blaine was surprised to see Kurt appear the next morning, bringing movies and food. "Its make snowmen and a stay in day," Kurt said, "Since you know I know your parents aren't home and tomorrow we are spending the day with my family."

Blaine pulled him inside and kissed him, "I love it. Come on, let's get started."

They went outside dressed in their winter gear and Kurt began making the middle ball, while Blaine was pushing the biggest around.

"Are you sure you can handle that?" Kurt asked Blaine as he saw having a harder time pushing the larger snowball.

Blaine pushed and then fell into the snow, "Oof. I think so."

Kurt let out a giggle and grabbed the camera from around his neck, and took a picture of Blaine lying on the ground. "Can I take a picture of you?"

"Sure," Kurt shrugged handing Blaine the camera.

Blaine took the camera, "Now move a bit to the left." Kurt looked down at him puzzled, but he moved anyways. "Wonderful," he held up the camera and took a picture.

Kurt smiled, "Why did you want me to stand here?"

"You look like an angel from this angle," Blaine said as he started to stand up.

Kurt snorted in laughter as Blaine just stared at him. "You can't be serious?"

"I am," Blaine smiled, "Now let's finish this snowman."

"You got it," Kurt said tapping Blaine on the nose with his gloved hand.

Kurt and Blaine both lifted the middle snowball to place on top of the biggest one. Then Kurt rolled the smallest snowball for the head and placed it on top.

"I have the supplies in here," Kurt picked up the bag and took out a scarf and hat. "You want to put on the hat?"

"Course I do," Blaine said as he took the hat and placed it gently on the top of the snowman, "I like it."

Kurt started wrap the scarf around its neck, "Good color."

"The black contrasts so well with the white," Blaine pointed out and bumped their shoulders together.

Taking out the carrot for the nose, Kurt handed it to Blaine and then took out the two rocks he had for the eyes. They finished the snowman's face and then they took a picture of them standing next to the snowman.

"I think we should name him Phillip," Blaine said.

Kurt smiled and gave a nod, "Phillip it is. So I think it's time we go inside and warm each other up."

"I like that idea," Blaine said as Kurt took his hand and started to take him in the house. They walked up the stairs and went straight up to Blaine's room.

Kurt shut the door behind them and then they both started to take off their outer wear. He tossed his wet coat on the back of the chair and Blaine did the same.

Blaine took his hand and started to guide him towards his bed, Kurt's knees hit the back of the bed and he gently lay down. Lying on top of him, Blaine lowered himself down pressing a kiss to Kurt's lips.

"I love you," Kurt said wrapped his arms around Blaine's neck.

Blaine smiled, "I love you too." Kurt pulled Blaine closer.

About an hour later, they were laying with the blankets covering them. Blaine was lying on his stomach, while Kurt was on his side and using his finger to trace over the small freckles on Blaine's naked back.

Blaine leaned over the bed and started to look for something.

"What are you doing?" Kurt asked him.

"Found it," Blaine held up the camera.

Kurt sat up making the blankets fall a bit to reveal his chest, "Um, what are you doing?"

Blaine pointed the camera at Kurt, "Now say cheese."

"What?" Kurt asked trying to push the camera away, "Why?"

"I'll need something to remember you by," Blaine said to him. "It's not like I want a picture of your junk. Just you."

Kurt laughed, "Fine. How do you want me?"

"Like one of those French girls," Blaine teased.

Kurt started to laugh so hard he pressed his face into the pillow, "Blaine."

"I'm kidding," Blaine said, "Okay come on."

Lifting up his head, Kurt posed leaning his head on his hand as he was still lying down on his side. Blaine adjusted the blanket so it covered Kurt's lower half just right. He brought the camera up to his face and then hit the button to take the picture.

"Now you," Kurt held out his hand.

"I thought this was for me," Blaine asked him rising his eyebrow.

Kurt smiled, "Well if you have something to remember me by, then I should have something to remember you by."

"Fair enough," Blaine said handing the camera over.

"Now then," Kurt smiled and lifted his leg over Blaine's body to straddle him. "I sort of like this angle."

Blaine gave a shy smile, "Are you sure?"

"You really are adorable when you act all shy," Kurt brought the camera up so he could look in the lens. "Now say cheese."

That night, Blaine was reluctant to let Kurt go. He kept giving Kurt kisses and finally Kurt's dad started calling asking where he was. "I need to go."

"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow," Blaine said as he took a step back.

Kurt started walking to his car, "I will make sure to let Carole know we are going to make your favorite cookies."

"You got it," Blaine leaned on the door and wrapped his arms around himself from the cold. Kurt got in his car and drove off. Smiling he closed the front door and leaned on the back of it.

Blaine spent the entire next day with the Hummel-Hudson family. They made cookies and watched movies, since they technically didn't watch them the day before.

Kurt gave Blaine a wink when his dad asked him about what movies they had watched yesterday. "Um, it doesn't matter if we rewatch one," Blaine finally said with his face entirely red.

After that Blaine had to admit that rest of the day went amazing. They exchanged Christmas presents. Blaine left with the scrapbook Kurt had made him with the pictures they had taken over the past few days.

When Blaine went home, his parents were there talking about the drive tomorrow and getting to spend time with their family. Blaine had to smile at how excited his parents were.

Blaine had packed the scrapbook safely away, hoping no one would find it. When they finally arrived in Michigan, Blaine greeted his family with open arms.

His cousin, Madeline, who was his age and someone he was closest to, ran straight to him, "Blainey!"

"Don't call me that Maddie," Blaine blushed as he hugged his cousin.

Madeline smiled, "Okay now I need to know all about this guy you have been seeing because I saw all your messages on Facebook to one another."

"Fine fine," Blaine laughed.

"No way Squirt," Cooper appeared at his side.

"Cooper," Blaine wrapped his arms around his brother, "You said you couldn't make it this year. And don't call me that."

"Nonsense," Cooper said, "I always make time for my family." He then gave Madeline a hug. "You know, she is right, we need you to spill about this Curtis guy."

"His name is Kurt," Blaine said, "And yes he is my boyfriend and has been for months now."

"Oh is he in that Glee club with you?" Maddie asked.

Blaine shook his head, "No he isn't. Actually he is one of the co-captains on the Cheerios."

Cooper lifted an eyebrow, "What's the Cheerios?"

"It's the name of our cheerleading team," Blaine said with a shrug.

Madeline and Cooper gave one another a look, "You're dating a cheerleader?" Madeline asked.

"A male cheerleader?" Cooper then asked.

"Look at first we really didn't get along, but we got to really know each other," Blaine shrugged. He honestly didn't want to tell them about how he slept with Kurt while they were drunk first.

Madeline rocked on her feet, "So do you have a picture of him?"

"Oh yeah," Blaine said taking out his phone and showing them the picture of him and Kurt just yesterday at his house.

Madeline squealed, "He is the cutest. Look at you two."

Cooper gave his brother a playful punch on the arm, "Glad to see you are getting some bro."

Blaine's face instantly went red from his brother's comment. "Well, that's not...we are..."

"Don't listen to him Blaine," Madeline took his hand and took him away to talk more about Kurt.

Kurt sighed to himself as he sat in the living room with his family and friends. Santana and Brittany were all over one another and he wondered when she was going to come out.

He looked at the clock and it was still two hours until midnight. Rachel walked over to him and hugged him from the back, "Hi Kurt."

Kurt shrugged her off, "Hi Rachel. And how are you doing this evening?"

"Wonderful," Rachel smiled at him, "How are you?"

"Fine," Kurt said with another shrug. And then she ran off to talk to Tina and Mercedes.

There was a knock at the door, which no one heard. "I'll get it," Kurt groaned and he went to the door. When he opened it, he let out gasp.

"Hi," Blaine waved.

Kurt pulled Blaine for a hug, "I thought you weren't going to be home for another few days."

"I may have gotten my brother and cousin to vouch for me," Blaine laughed as Kurt pulled him in the house. "Besides I couldn't imagine spending our first New Year in different states."

Kurt had to admit that the rest of the two hours went by so fast and he was so happy to have Blaine around. All of a sudden everyone was gathered around the television and they were counting down.

"5...4...3...2...1! Happy New Year!"

Blaine leaned over and whispered, "Happy New Year Kurt."

"Happy New Year Blaine," Kurt then brought their lips together in a kiss. It was going to be a good year, he thought to himself.
