Author's Notes:

Hi. *Hides from angry mob and pitchforks*

I know, i'm awful. But summer had just been so busy and i have not found the time to write, but fear not, i go back to school soon and i will get back into my usual routine :D

Here's the next chapter, i dunno, it seems a little... off, i dunno? :)

Love you all! & enjoy!

 

Kurt headed out to work on Tuesday morning. It was late April in New York and it was Kurt's favourite season. Spring. The smells, the colours and just everything about it made Kurt happy.

Blaine had an appointment with Dr. Lynch that morning so he would be down to work later. He has started to help out down at the theatre a lot and loved what he was doing. He was helping writing songs for smaller musicals which was a start for him.

Kurt walked into the coffee shop and ordered his daily non-fat mocha and added less sugar than usual. Life was sweet enough; he had decided and smiled before walking around the corner to the theatre where a Miss Rachel Berry would be meeting him. She had to be down earlier than Kurt.

Today he is sewing costumes together which Kurt loved to do. His love of fashion really made him enthusiastic about this. All of the actors, actresses and producers trusted him with doing their costumes; he had a natural talent for it.

As he was sewing the last few stitches to one of the dresses, he saw Rachel walk up to him. He took the needle he had rested in his mouth out to talk.

"Hey." He said smiling.

"Good morning." She chirped. "I'm helping you with costumes today."

"Oh god no." Kurt said panicking and holding onto the garment in front of him.

"Relax… my fashion sense has improved since high school." She laughs.

"I know! I'm kidding. Very fashionable these days Ms. Berry."

"Thank you." She says twirling around. "So… where's Blaine today?"

"He has an appointment with Dr. Lynch this morning, remember."

"Oh right, yeah. Sorry."

"Don't be. Yeah, he'll be down later." He smiles.

"Good. I think Nick is going to go insane. He needs Blaine's help with some lyrics or something. I wasn't really listening. He just kept babbling on..."

"I'm sure Blaine will be more than happy to help him when he gets here."

"He's doing so well, isn't he?"

"Who…Nick?"

"No… Blaine. With his therapy. It's like he's a completely different person now to when i first saw him again."

"I know. It's amazing how quick time has just gone this year. It's scary. It doesn't feel like 2 minutes ago when we where in high school."

"Tell me about it..."

"I mean. It's like… I sometimes forget that Blaine and I ever split up in the first place. It feels as if he never left."

"That's because he didn't. Not really. You never stopped loving him so of course you're going to feel that way."

"Sebastian will not get away with what he did to Blaine." Kurt said stopping himself from gritting his teeth.

"Sebastian who?" Rachel said in a way that told Kurt to not even talk about him. "Don't give him the time of day." She says waving it off with her hand.

"I know, I know. It's just sometimes he just appears. In my head I mean. Like his name just worms it's way in there."

"So learn to ignore it." He smiles "Think about how much better Blaine is now."

"I know. Dr. Lynch is a real god send. He's amazing with Blaine."

"You can't just give him all of the credit."

"What do you mean?" He says starting to sew a pair of trousers and adding some detailing down the legs.

"Well… you've been amazing for him too." She said and Kurt just scoffed. "What! You have! I'd say you help him the most."

"Rachel, all I do is just be there for him. It's not exactly much of an effort."

"Yeah, but that's what he needs. Someone that will listen to him, that he can confine in. Someone that loves him and that he can trust."

"Urgh… owch." Kurt says stabbing his finger with the needle and sucking the finger.

"I'm glad he has you, Kurt." Rachel says softly.

He looks up at her and smiles. "Me too."

He carries on adding the detailing to the jeans, smiling as he remembered a recent memory of Him and Blaine going to his parent's house and just spending some quality time together as a family. He remembers Burt calling Blaine son and Blaine grinning and crying that night because he felt accepted and how Kurt held him when he was crying and how they ended up falling asleep with Blaine in Kurt's arms.

Kurt shook his head. He heard Rachel's voice trying to say something but his mind was very distracted.

"What? Sorry, I was…concentrating." He said.

Rachel laughed. "You are ridiculous."

"What? I was"

"Yeah I bet… on Blaine."

"Maybe. Anyway, that's not the point. What where you saying?" He smiles.

"I was just asking when are you two getting your own place."

"Wanting rid of us that quickly do we Rachel?" He said mocking offence. "…I'm hurt."

"No, I'm just asking. It's the next step, right?"

"Next step?"

"Yeah! I mean you love each other… you're thinking of settling down… you're almost 24…"

"You just want rid of us!" Kurt laughs.

"I do not. I like having you both around. It's like having my two gay brothers around all the time."

"Except that would be incest and very wrong."

"Oh you know what I mean!" She hits him playfully.

"I know, I'm just messing." He smiles. "But now that you mention it… it makes sense, right?"

"It makes perfect sense. And maybe y'know… in a few years their will be little Hummel-Anderson's running about."

"We'll see." Kurt smirks. He finishes the detailing and putting them on the finished rack.

At that moment, Kurt's boss comes along. He see's Kurt's work.

"Kurt… can you come with me a moment?"

"Sure… am I in trouble?" He looks back at Rachel who shrugs.

"No, not at all." He says as they walk into his office. "I actually wanted to say that I'm very impressed with your work lately."

"Oh thank you, but I'm just following design drawings…"

"And you always add your own personal touch. It takes talent, Kurt." Kurt remains silent. "Which is why I'm offering you a promotion."

"You're what?"

"You heard me." He smiles.

"Oh my god! This is amazing! Thank you!"

"You're very talented, Kurt. I'm expecting big things from you."

"I won't let you down, I promise."

"I know you won't"

"This is perfect!" Kurt says before leaving the room and telling Rachel.


When Blaine got home from his therapy today, he felt sick. Well, he felt it when he got up that morning but he thought he thought he might have been better later so he could go to work. Turns out, Blaine was the type of person to get a summer cold. Even though it's spring.

He wraps himself up in a blanket and sits on the couch with hot chocolate and Redvines waiting for Kurt and Rachel to get home from work. Speaking of which…

"Hey Blaine." Kurt calls as he walks in with Rachel.

"Hey guys!"

"Blaine, are you okay? You sound like you – oh my god, honey. Are you okay?" Kurt sees that Blaine is wrapped up in blankets.

"Yeah… just a bit of a cold. Sorry I didn't make it to work. I called in and then practically fell asleep so sorry for not texting you."

"Nonsense, I'm just going to have to look after my baby until he's better" Kurt says kissing him on the forehead. Blaine smiles at this. "So how did therapy go?

Blaine sniffed. "Yeah it went great! We tried out this new memory technique."

"Oh, really?" Kurt said interested.

"Yeah, It's kind of like I have to go back to places where I had bad memories, well, the places that I know I can't avoid, and make newer good memories their, it will over power the bad ones or something."

"That sounds like a good idea actually." Kurt smiled. "The therapy is really helping you then?" Kurt saying sitting next to him.

"Yeah, I think so anyway. I definitely couldn't do this without you though. You have been amazing."

"I'm just glad that your getting better."

Blaine smiles and cuddles into Kurt resting n his chest. "So… your home late… any reason why?"

"Actually yes there is." Kurt grins. "I have amazing news!"

"Katy Perry is touring?! Oh my god we're going!"

"What? No Blaine." Kurt shakes his head.

"Damn it."

"I got a promotion at work! I am now the manager of the costume department!"

"Oh my god! That's great!" Blaine hugs Kurt tightly.

"I know! I couldn't believe it! I was like SHUT UP!"

"Well I'm happy for you, not shocked. You're amazing at what you do."

"Thank you." Kurt smiled. "I was thinking… with the extra money… we could use it to um… maybe get a place of our own."

"But we already do…"

"Yeah I know, but like, totally by ourselves, don't worry, Rachel won't be offended."

Blaine smiles. "I would like that."

"I was thinking that it would be a really good idea. I mean, we could start a new, like completely. Putting the past behind us for good."

"Yeah… I really would like that. Dr. Lynch recommended that actually. He said it would be good for… the memory thing."

"Well then, if it's going to help you then nothing is stopping us."

"I love you." Blaine said.

"I love you too." Kurt smiled. "…so when can we look?" he asked putting his hands to his face in excitement.

"Right now."

"Now?"

"Why not? I mean… I'm really excited about this!"

"Good point!" Kurt said picking up his laptop off the floor and booting it up. They open the internet and start looking on various websites. "So… are we thinking an apartment or like, an actual house."

"Well that all depends…"

"Tell me what you're thinking. I know that thinking face, Anderson." Kurt laughed.

"I want a house." Blaine said with bright eyes. "I want white fence, a puppy, big garden with a tree, maybe an apple one. With a room for a kid and a games room for them..." He rambles.

Kurt looked over at Blaine taken a back by this. Kurt wanted this too, he wanted that so much! He just didn't expect Blaine to be thinking like that right now. But to know otherwise, well, this was just heartfelt.

"I want all of that too."

"I want everything with you; Kurt I think is what I'm trying to say." He laughs gently. "I mean, when we where babysitting Tyler it really got me thinking. I'm not saying right now… i…I'm not ready for that, yet. But maybe in a few years time or… whenever, I want us to be ready for that."

"Me to. Having a kid with you, buying a house, getting married, growing old… even worse, growing grey–"

"You'll never turn grey." Blaine laughs softly.

"Let's hope not, but anyway. I want all of that, so long as you'll be there with me."

"I promise I will be. You're my everything, Kurt." They smiled before looking at small houses not as central as their apartment was in New York, but that it was easy access to the centre when needed.

"What are you boy's doing?" Rachel asks walking out her bedroom to find the two of them huddled around the laptop.

"We're looking for houses." Blaine says looking up while Kurt is still searching.

"Oh my god! This is so exciting!" She claps her hand enthusiastically.

"I know! But like I said… we're just looking so…"

"There is absolutely nothing." Kurt said sitting back.

"Kurt… we only just started looking…"

"Nothing is in our price range."

"Kurt… calm down, please. I'm pretty sure my mom or dad won't mind contributing."

"You're right… I'm stressing." Kurt says sitting up straight again.

"Plus the houses you where looking at where like 8 bedrooms. What do we need 8 bedrooms for?"

"I have plans!" Kurt tries to convince Blaine.

"Let's just take our time with this. We have all of the time in the world."

Kurt rolls his eyes. "Okay… fine. We'll sort out budget and stuff tomorrow and look again."

"That's more like it." Blaine smiled. And for the first time, he felt confident about his life.
