Kurt and Blaine said goodbye to Burt and Carole Sunday morning, arriving back at Blaine's apartment mid Sunday afternoon.

"Hello? Wes? You home?" Blaine called into the house as he closed his door behind Kurt. No answer, "Must be with Jen," he didn't have time to move into the kitchen as Kurt had pressed him up against the wall in the hallway had had forcefully attached his lips to Blaine's neck, "Whoa, hey there," Blaine grinned in surprise.

"Hey," Kurt breathed against his neck, his fingers moving up to fist in the curls on the back of Blaine's head.

"Kurt," Blaine panted, "Kurt," his voice was slowly becoming deeper and soon he was only able to moan. Kurt began moving his lips further down Blaine's neck, sucking at his collarbone and mouthing along his clavicle. Blaine felt his knees began to shake as he wrapped an arm around Kurt's waist to help keep him up right.

Kurt pulled away slowly, smiled up at Blaine. He liked being able to do that to Blaine, to make him look like that; he liked being the cause of his flushed cheeks and blown pupils.

"Who's the tease now," Blaine breathed as he smiled back at Kurt and pressed a kiss against his mouth.

"Now Mr. Anderson, we don't have time for that," Kurt grinned as he turned his head to the side, causing Blaine to keep pressing kisses against his cheek. He laughed as Blaine whimpered in response, "Come on, you promised," Kurt finally pulled out of Blaine's grasp and took his hand, leading him down the hall and into Blaine's bedroom, "Sit," he instructed, pushing Blaine to slowly back into his barber's chair.

"So forceful," Blaine teased as Kurt opened the bottom draw and pulled out Blaine's black nylon cape.

"Keep teasing and you'll end up looking like Jake in Jarhead," Kurt replied as he fastened the cape at the back of Blaine's neck.

"You wouldn't do it," Blaine grinned, "You like my curls too much," Kurt nodded in agreement.

"This is true," he smiled as he turned to open up Blaine's kit onto of his vanity unit. He filled the spray bottle in the bathroom sink and returned, beginning to spray Blaine's hair, not enough to drench it, but enough to help define the curls.

"What is this Mr. Anderson?" Kurt asked, as he turned back to the kit after wetting Blaine's hair. He was holding up a long curved item.

"That's my straight razor," Blaine replied, "My strap, which I use to sharpen it, is fastened to the back of the chair," he saw the curious look in Kurt's eye, "I'm not just a hairdresser, Kurt. I could give you a hot and close shave anytime you'd like," he winked at Kurt, enjoying the hard swallow that Kurt choked down at this new information.

"We'll see," Kurt winked back, turning to pick up a comb. He combed through Blaine's hair, ridding it of knots and tangles before picking up Blaine's pair of scissors.

He began at the back, picking up a section of hair in his fingers and closing his fingers around the hair right on Blaine's scalp to allow most of the section to hang between his fingers, making the hair curl again. Kurt began to chip into the piece of hair, only taking off millimetres at a time. He knew it would be a lengthy process, but cutting short curly hair took time if you wanted it to be neat and even.

Tiny black hairs began raining down on Blaine's shoulders, and covering Kurt's fingers and Blaine smiled to himself as he watched Kurt in the mirror, his face full of concentration. Blaine liked this side of Kurt, the side that was so passionate about what he was doing, that he was oblivious to the outside world. Blaine liked it because at that moment Kurt was only focusing on him, and that made Blaine feel special. His previous boyfriends had never taken him into consideration, and had definitely never offered to do anything like this before, he had even dated another hairdresser, and he wanted nothing to do with Blaine's hair stating that he saw enough of it at work, he didn't want to see it after work as well. Needless to say, those boyfriends didn't last very long.

It was the fact that Kurt wanted to do this for Blaine that made him feel all warm inside. He liked being taken care of, especially Kurt was the one doing the caring.

Kurt continued to chip away into Blaine's hair, moving slowly up the back of head before progressing onto his left side. He delicately placed his finger tips on Blaine's chin and at the back of his head, to guide Blaine's head to the side, giving him better access to the left side of his head.

"I'm sorry," Kurt spoke softly as the small cut hairs  from Blaine's temple began to fall down onto his cheek. Blaine just smiled as he moved his eyes to look at Kurt, not wanting to open his mouth and have the tiny hairs catch on his tongue. Soon Kurt was starting on the right side, moving Blaine's head so it mirrored the position from the other before, and began taking the hair on that side shorter. It wasn't long before Blaine was able to straighten his head up again and look forwards into the mirror.

This was always Blaine's least favourite part about getting his haircut, when the back and sides looked so perfect, but the top still hung longer than it should. He knew that soon Kurt would have finished the cut and everything would look perfect, but until then he had to look at himself and his almost ‘bowl-cut'.

Kurt began to pull away sections from Blaine's crown, following the way in which his hair grew out, making sure that everything would sit right when he was finished.

"Just the top left now Blaine," Kurt smiled at his reflection, and Blaine returned it, watching as Kurt cut away the hairs left on top of his head. When he had finished he didn't place his scissors down immediately, instead he began crosschecking every cut he had made, making sure that nothing was uneven and he hadn't created any shelves in Blaine's hair. Once he was pleased with the cut he moved back to the dresser and picked up Blaine's small electric razor. He used his free hand the move Blaine's head forward so his chin was resting on his chest and switched the razor on, a light hum filled the room and Kurt brought it up to the cut line of Blaine's hair and slowly moved it downwards, taking away all of the small and messy hair left on the back of Blaine's neck, cleaning everything up.

When he was finally satisfied that it was done, he placed the electric razor back on the vanity unit and picked up Blaine's bottle of mousse. He spray a small amount out onto his hands, and moved them back through Blaine's hair, helping to define the curl, but not to flatten them to his head.

"I told you; you like playing with my curls too much to cut them off," Blaine grinned, Kurt shook his head in disagreement, "You've been styling them for the past five minutes," Blaine laughed.

"Fine," Kurt sighed with a smile, "You caught me. I like your curls," he finished as he leaned down to press a kiss t Blaine's lips, "There, I'm done, what do you think?" he asked, sounding nervous as he stepped aside and let Blaine view himself in the mirror.

"You've done an amazing job Kurt. You have a talent," Kurt shook his head, trying to hide his smile as he removed the cape from around Blaine and dropped the cut hairs that had accumulated in his lap onto the floor, "I'm serious, if ever you wanted to forgo the backstage business, I'm sure I could find a salon who would love to have you as part of their team,"

"Thank you Blaine," Kurt smiled as he kissed Blaine again, but Blaine just shook his head.

"No thank you Kurt, you really did do an incredible job." Blaine reached up to run his fingers through the shorter hair at the back of his head, "It feels so much better,"

"It looks so much better," Kurt grinned as he moved closer to Blaine, bring a knee up each time to rest on the outsides of Blaine's thighs. He laced his fingers into the back of Blaine's hair and leant down to deepen the kiss.

"See," Blaine breathed as he pulled away from Kurt's lips for a second, "I told you; you do get kissy after a haircut,"

"What can I say?" Kurt shrugged as he leaned back into the kiss, "I enjoy the feeling," Blaine hummed in agreement, moving his hands to rest on Kurt's hips, tightening his grip and Kurt brushed his tongue along Blaine's bottom lip, asking for entrance. Blaine eagerly obliged, groaning into Kurt's mouth as their tongues brushed against each others, "Blaine," Kurt moaned into Blaine's mouth, "Blaine," he moaned again, causing Blaine's grip to tighten even more on Kurt's hips. Kurt knew that there would be bruising, but he wasn't about to complain, "Fuck," Kurt groaned, not in pleasure, but in annoyance as his phone rang in his back pocket.

"We can't win can we?" Blaine sighed as he rested his head on Kurt's chest, his arms moving to wrap around Kurt's waist.

"Rachel," Blaine laughed quietly as Kurt seethed down the phone, "What do you want," he paused waiting for Rachel to answer, "Yes, we know that, that's why we were coming back at six, it's only four thirty," Kurt sighed as he dropped his head onto Blaine's shoulder, "Fine I'll put you on to him," Kurt spoke, his voice sounding defeated, "She wants to tell you what you need to bring to do her hair tonight. I told you this was a bad idea," Blaine pressed a kiss to Kurt's lips as he took the phone from him.

"Hey Rachel," Blaine looked at Kurt as a sly grin crossed his face, before he winked at Blaine moved down slightly to start mouthing at Blaine's exposed neck. He laughed as he watched Blaine screw his face up in concentration, trying to pay attention to whatever Rachel was saying, "Yes Rachel, I know to bring my scissors," Kurt chuckled at Blaine's annoyed voice and sucked harder on his collarbone, using his teeth every now again, just to watch Blaine squirm in frustration, "Ok Rachel, we'll see you later," Blaine snapped the phone shut and threw it onto his bed, "You'll pay for that Mr. Hummel," Blaine growled as he pulled Kurt closer and moved his head so that their lips crashed together, eliciting a moan from both men at the regained contact.

Blaine knew to slow down though when he felt Kurt pulling away slightly. He knew that Kurt still wasn't up to that kind of contact yet, but Blaine wasn't going to lie, he was enjoying the making out just as much.

"Kurt," Blaine sighed, "Kurt, I have to clean my gear," Blaine pulled away as Kurt continued to focus on Blaine's neck. After another minute or two, Kurt reluctantly pulled away.

"Rachel owes me big time for this," he grumbled, sitting back on Blaine's thighs and fingering the hairs on Blaine's nape slowly. Blaine smiled as he kissed Kurt for a final time, for lifting him up and placing him back in the chair where Blaine had just been sitting. Kurt smiled at Blaine as he tucked his feet up under him and watched Blaine clean his own hair from his scissors with his cleaning solution.

"You ready to go?" he asked, a little while later, "I've got to stop off at the salon and pick up a couple of tubes of colour that Rachel wanted," Kurt nodded, wheeling his small suitcase to the front door.

"Lead the way," he smiled at Blaine, who took his hand as they walked out into the street to hail a cab. After a quick stop at the salon, and after saying hello to the girls, Kurt and Blaine were back at Kurt's apartment, pushing open the door.

"Rachel, I'm home," Kurt called out after he'd shut the door behind himself and Blaine.

"Kurt," Rachel called out as she rounded the corner and ran towards him, jumping into his arms, "Oh, I missed you. How's your Dad?"

"I missed you too Rach, and he's ok, doing better every day, but just has take things slowly for a while," Kurt nodded, "Now, Rachel, there's someone I want you to properly meet, this is Blaine, Blaine, this is Rachel," Blaine didn't have time to answer due to the fact that Rachel threw herself into his arms, taking him in a bone crushing hug.

"Thank you so much for looking after Kurt for me Blaine," she spoke into his shoulder, as he rubbed his hand on her back, "I'm so glad that he had someone there to look after him,"

"It was my pleasure Rachel, I was happy to be there," he smiled as Rachel pressed a kiss to his cheek before turning back to look at Kurt, reaching up to run her hand over the back of his head.

"Kurt, I like this look on you," she grinned, "You did a good job Blaine, I'm so glad he found you and got all of that horrible light brown hair cut off, it really did nothing for you Kurt," Kurt just nodded.

"I'm glad I found Blaine too," he smiled as he pecked Blaine's cheek quickly.

"And Blaine, your hair is shorter than when I last saw you too. I like it like this," she stated as she reached out to touch one of his curls,"

"Thank you Rachel, Kurt did a good job," Rachel's eyes widened as she turned to look back at Kurt.

"You cut it for him?" Kurt nodded, "Wow Kurt, who knew that you had such natural talent,"

"See, I told you," Blaine teased as he returned the kiss on Kurt's cheek, "Now Rachel," Blaine began as he turned to face the tiny brunette, "What am I doing for you tonight?" Rachel clapped her hands in excitement as she grabbed Blaine's hand and pulled him into the kitchen where she had laid out a few pictures for Blaine.

"This is what my hair looked like in my second semester of my first year at NYADA and I was wanting to go back to that. I had full bangs instead of the side swept one's I have now, my hair was a bit shorter but with a lot more layers, and the colour was ombre," Kurt had to bite back a laugh at the look on Blaine's face when Rachel had spoken the word ombre. Kurt knew that Blaine was sick of hearing it at work, but was too nice to say anything.

"Ok, do you want me to colour your hair first and then cut it so that the ombre is more gradual and blended or do you want me to cut and then colour so the ombre is more defined?" Blaine asked, Kurt could see his demeanour changing before his eyes, watching Blaine switch into his hairdressing mode. Rachel took a moment to think about Blaine's question before she answered.

"Colour first then cut, I don't want it too defined," Blaine nodded.

"Ok, I'll mix up the colour first, I found the one that matches the sample you sent me," he took a quick moment while Rachel wasn't looking to wink at Kurt, who had to purse his lips to keep himself from laughing, "And then we'll get started," Blaine moved over to the kitchen bench and snapped on a pair of black latex gloves before opening both colour packets and emptying them into his mixing bowl, stirring them together with his brush, "Ok Rachel, if you could just take a seat over here," Blaine asked as he pled out a kitchen chair and placed it in the centre of the kitchen. Rachel did as she was told and Blaine threw his black cape over her, "Kurt can I get you to hand me the foils when I need them please?" Blaine smiled and Kurt nodded, moving his chair so he was seated behind Rachel and next to Blaine.

"So you're Dad's really ok then Kurt?" Rachel asked as Blaine began back combing the ends of her hair before placing the first foil.

"Yeah, he collapsed due to low sodium levels, which apparently can be quite common. They've put him on some medication and he has to cut back on his fluid intake and take it easy for a while, but otherwise he'll be fine. I'm just thankful it wasn't his heart again," Kurt answered, handing Blaine another foil.

"Me too, when Blaine told me what had happened when you two arrived here last weekend, I automatically thought back to high school, but I'm glad he's ok. How's Finn?" Kurt could tell that she was slightly nervous to ask that question. Even though they had broken up years ago, he knew that there were still feelings there, they just knew that it wouldn't work out with her in New York and him in Ohio.

"He's doing ok. He's taking over the business more which he likes and it means that the stress is off Dad, but otherwise he's good. He was over almost every day after work, so I got a bit sick of him, but it was good to catch up again, and he says hi," Kurt noticed a faint blush on Rachel's neck, just above where the cape was sitting, at his words, "Actually everyone says hi," Rachel smiled.

"Tell them I say hi too," Kurt nodded, "And what about you Blaine? How was it meeting the parents?" Rachel laughed.

"It wasn't that bad, honestly, I was just glad that Burt was ok," Blaine replied as he placed another foil, Kurt meet his eye and gave him a smile, "But Kurt and I had fun, he showed me around and I saw your old high school, it was nice. We don't really get to spend a lot of time together, so being able to do things with each other all day was a good change," he returned Kurt's smile, "It was nice to not have any interruptions," he winked at Kurt who sent him a wink back.

"I bet," Rachel replied, completely oblivious to the obvious clue at her earlier phone call, "I hate it when people interrupt me when I'm trying to have a bit of private time with my respective other," all Kurt could do was hum in response as Blaine tried very hard to keep a straight face.

"Ok Rachel, that's all of the foils in, try not to move too much because the foils are at the ends of your hair and you don't want them coming out, but we'll leave them for half an hour and then I'll check on the process and see if they need any longer. Do you have a detachable shower head, or will we have to use the one in the kitchen sink?" Blaine asked as he removed his gloves.

"The bath has one," Kurt replied, "Come, I'll show you. We'll be right back Rachel," Kurt said as he stood and grabbed Blaine's hand leading him down to the bathroom.

"Don't make a mess you can't clean up," Rachel called after them. Kurt turned his head and stuck his tongue out at Rachel before he turned into the bathroom and shut the door behind him and Blaine. In an instant Blaine had him pressed against it, his mouth already on Kurt's.

"Blaine," Kurt breathed as he broke away for a second, repositioning himself so his lower back wasn't pressed hard against the door handle. He let out a low moan as Blaine reattached his lips to Kurt's neck, gently sucking at his soft spot under his ear, while he moved his other hand up to cup the side of Kurt's face, his thumb rubbing over Kurt's cheek bone.

They remained in that position for what they thought was only a few minutes, until they heard knocking at the door.

"Hey lovebirds, I hate to break up whatever you're doing in there, but Blaine, it's been thirty minutes,"

"Dammit," Blaine breathed, pressing a final kiss to Kurt's neck, "Gotta go to work," Kurt smiled at him as he tried to flatten a few of Blaine's curls back into place. They both took a deep breath before making their way back down to the kitchen, finding Rachel, still sitting in the same chair, reading a magazine with a knowing look on her face.

"Have fun," she smirked, Kurt shot her a look and Blaine tried to hide his blush as he stepped behind her and opened one of her foils.

"These are ready to be washed out, if you would like to come with me Rachel," Blaine smiled, holding out his hand, like he usually did for clients, for Rachel to take, making their way back into the bathroom. Kurt went ahead of them and moved Rachel's desk chair so it sat next to the bath, Blaine was thankful because the back was able to be lowered, meaning Rachel could lie back and not her clothes wet, "If you could relax back for me please Rachel," she did as she was told and Blaine began removing the foils before switching the water on, testing it on his hand first, "Tell me if that's too hot or too cold," he said before moving his hand up to her hair line and bringing the detachable shower head up with the other to wet her hair.

"No, that's fine," Rachel answered. Blaine placed the shower head back on its stand and squeezed a generous amount of shampoo into his hand before beginning to rub it in to Rachel's hair, focusing on the ends where the colour was, then finally moving back to her scalp. After he'd rinsed the shampoo out he returned with the conditioner and began slowly rubbing that in whilst giving Rachel and head massage.

"Blaine," Rachel moaned as Blaine's fingers worked on her scalp, "Oh my god Blaine, your fingers are amazing,"

"Rachel," Kurt spoke, his voice full of warning, "He's taken; remember,"

"Kurt you are the luckiest man alive," Kurt's cheeks began to heat up as he looked at Blaine, silently thinking to himself that he really was the luckiest.

"Ok Rachel, you're all done here. Just let me squeeze out the excess and you can move back into the kitchen. Blaine took the towel that Kurt handed him with a smile and moved to start drying off Rachel's hair. When he'd gotten enough water out, so she wouldn't drip everywhere, they all moved back into the kitchen and Blaine began combing through Rachel's hair.

Kurt and Rachel struck up their casual conversation again, but Blaine remained quiet, focused on the task at hand. He sectioned off Rachel's hair first, clipping up the majority of it and leaving the bottom layers hanging free before he took his scissor and began to cut her hair to the length she specified. He only had to take off an inch, so it didn't take too long. He then let the rest of her hair back down and began sectioning off vertical sections and started to re-cut her layers, this time taking off more hair to reach the length she had shown him in the pictures earlier. He slowly moved his way around her head, combing up large pieces of hair, before bringing his scissors to them and cutting off the unwanted pieces.  Half an hour later, the layers were done, and all that was left were her bangs.

"I'm going to blow your hair out first Rachel before I cut your bangs, that way they will sit right from the start," Rachel nodded as Blaine plugged in his blow-dryer and began to style Rachel's hair with a round brush whilst he dried it, giving her hair a soft curl and making her layers stand out. Once her hair was completely dried off, he pulled up another kitchen chair and sat down opposite Rachel, his legs moving to sit on either side of hers, getting as close as he could. He took his comb back in his hand and sectioned off her already existing bangs, combing them forward and over her eyes, "Now close your eyes, and hold still," Blaine prompted, placing his hands on either side of her face and manoeuvring her head until it was at the angle he needed it to be. He took his scissors and cut straight across, cutting the hair so it sat just below the bridge of the nose. Once he had created a line to work with, he stood up and began combing her bangs up section by section and chipping in to them, creating a blunt line and taking them shorter so they wouldn't hang in her eyes. When he was done he took his blow-dryer again and turned it on low to blow the cut hair from her face, "And there you go," Blaine grinned as he stepped back to admire his work, "I added a few more layers in than the picture you showed me just to give your hair a bit more body, and I slightly darkened the ombre colour so it looks like you've just spent a lot of time in the sun rather than people being able to tell that it's artificial," Rachel nodded as she stood and rushed down to the bathroom.

"Do you think she'll like it?" Blaine asked as Kurt moved and wrapped his arms around Blaine's waist from behind. They both looked up at the excited squeal coming from the bathroom.

"Judging from that noise, I think she loves it. Thank you for doing this Blaine," Kurt pressed a kiss to the back of Blaine's neck.

"You're welcome, thank you for doing mine this earlier," Blaine spoke as he turned in Kurt's arms, wrapping his own arms around him.

"Do you want to stay for dinner?"

"I would love to, but I promised Wes we'd catch up tonight, and I have to have an early night because I have a full day tomorrow. I'm sorry," Blaine apologised sincerely, Kurt just shook his head.

"You don't have to apologise Blaine, it's ok," he leaned in for another kiss, "I'll see you tomorrow? I took two weeks off from work, so I'm free every night," he grinned and Blaine nodded.

"Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow," he nodded as he moved to pack up his things and Kurt found the broom, sweeping his roommates hair left on the floor up and into a pile.

"Blaine, thank you so much," Rachel exclaimed as she rushed back into the kitchen and throwing herself into his arms, "It's beautiful. I'm going to recommend you to everyone I know.

"You're very welcome Rachel ,and thank you, that means a lot to me," he smiled as he returned Rachel's hug, "Now you look after Kurt for me tonight ok. I'll see you tomorrow," he directed the last part at Kurt and moved to give him a final kiss.

"I'll see you tomorrow," Kurt returned as he and Rachel waved goodbye to Blaine.

"Kurt, I love him," Kurt stood looking at the door that Blaine had just left through.

"Rachel, I think I do to,".
