“Good night,” comes Blaine’s sleepy voice from the other end. “Sweet dreams. I love you, so much.”
“I love you too.” Kurt smiles. “I can’t wait to see you.”
“Yeah, I’ll see you tomorrow,” says Blaine. “Can’t wait.”
“See you soon.” He can’t help but giggle to himself, knowing Blaine has no idea just how soon he’ll be seeing him again.
“Yeah. Good night, Kurt.”
“Good night. Sleep well.”
“You too.”
“I love you, Blaine.”
“I love you too. Now seriously, I need to hang up, I’m falling asleep!”
“Aw, fine.” Kurt laughs quietly. “Night, Blaine.”
“Bye.”
He hears the click, and sighs happily as he slips his phone back into his pocket.
It’s 11 o’clock. Kurt’s going to meet the Glee club at 3 a.m, and it seems way too far away. Normally Kurt would hate staying up that late, since it gives him dark circles under his eyes in the mornings, but this is a worthy cause. Too bad Finn’s not here to hang out with, though, he’s staying at Puck’s.
Kurt called Blaine’s parents last night, letting them know his plans and asking their permission. Blaine’s mom especially loved the idea, and ended up rambling to Kurt for thirty minutes about how she was kidnapped once by her sorority sisters in college, which was a little annoying after a while, but Kurt has a good relationship with Blaine’s parents, so he’s grateful for that.
Kurt tries to sleep for just a couple hours, maybe until like 2, but he soon realizes he’s too excited to sleep. So he curls up in bed with the latest Vogue, and cuts out the pictures of his favorite designs to put in his fashion scrapbook.
He soon finishes that issue, and moves on to a past one. And another, and another. Finally, it’s 2:30. Time to go.
Kurt brushes his hair one last time, puts on some lotion, and looks at himself in the mirror. Faded black skinny jeans and his designer purple peacoat. Yep, he looks great.
He grabs a bunch of blankets from the linen closet, a few brownies that he’d baked earlier, and a quart of milk before he heads out to his car. It’s totally dark out, and it’s honestly really creepy, but he knows that soon enough, Blaine will be with him. And that makes him feel safe.
Soon Kurt’s at Blaine’s house. He goes around to the backyard, since Mr. and Mrs. Anderson told him they’d leave the back door unlocked for him. He goes in and tiptoes through the silent house, down the hall, to Blaine’s bedroom. Kurt takes a deep breath, pulls the folded blindfold out of his pocket, and slowly opens the door.
Blaine’s curled up in a little ball, clutching his pillow to his chest. He looks completely adorable, like a little puppy, and Kurt instantly feels bad for waking him up. But it’s for a good cause.
Kurt stands there awkwardly, not sure exactly how to go about doing this. What do you do when you kidnap your friend, anyway? Do you yell at them to wake them up? That seems more dramatic, but also cruel. So Kurt just leans in close, by Blaine’s ear, and whispers, “Wake up, Blaine.”
Blaine just seems to squeeze his pillow even tighter.
Kurt raises his voice a little. “Blaine, wake up!” He shakes Blaine a little by his shoulder.
Blaine’s eyes open slowly, and he groans. He looks up at Kurt, but doesn’t seem to register that he’s really there.
“Come on, Blaine, time to get up!” Kurt tries to sit him up a little.
“What are you doing here? It’s the middle of the night. I thought we were going to meet at the coffee shop this afternoon,” mumbles Blaine, yawning.
“Nope. I’m taking you on an adventure!”
“Adventure? To where?”
“You’ll see.” Kurt grins. “Come with me.”
“But I’m sleepy!”
“Too bad. I’m kidnapping you,” Kurt announces. “You don’t have a choice.”
“Well, can I pee first?” asks Blaine, reluctantly getting up.
Kurt sighs. “Fine, but make it quick!”
When Blaine’s done, Kurt grabs his hand and leads him outside to the car.
“Where are we going?”
“It’s a secret. You’ll see.” Kurt kisses him on the cheek, then ties the blindfold around his eyes.
“This thing is kinda see-through,” Blaine points out.
“Oh, shush!”
Blaine laughs. “Kiss me?”
Kurt kisses him.
“Okay, now you can go.”
Kurt scowls a little. He’s supposed to be the one giving the orders around here! But he turns the key in the ignition and drives off.
When they reach the lake, Kurt’s pleased to see the other Glee club members, and even Mr. Schue, all assembled around the edge, goofing off and laughing. But they quickly fall silent when they see Kurt’s car approaching. He parks, walks around to the side, opens the door for Blaine, and takes off his blindfold. Blaine smiles and kisses him sleepily.
But when he sees the New Directions, and the lake, he instantly seems to wake up. The lake, where Kurt brought Blaine with his dad, Carole, and Finn once, looks absolutely gorgeous at this time of night. The sky’s dark, but there’s the slightest glow of light off in the distance, yet there’s still thousands of stars twinkling, perfectly reflected in the lake.
“Wait- what are they doing here?” he asks Kurt. “And why are we at the lake?”
Kurt smirks. “Enjoy the show,” is all he says before he goes to join the Glee club. He nods to Mr. Schue and Puck, who begin to play the opening chords to the song on their guitars, and the others begin to sing background vocals.
Kurt takes a deep breath and steps forward when it’s time to come in for his solo.
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I dreamed of
Once in a lullaby
The look on Blaine’s face is priceless. He’s totally in shock. Kind of looks like he wants to either cry, jump up and down with joy, or just hug his boyfriend.
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
During the brief guitar break, Kurt blows a kiss to Blaine, who’s pretty much swooning. Even Kurt knows that his voice sounds fantastic right now, even though he hasn’t warmed up at all.
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow.
Why then, oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?
The song ends, and Kurt says, unable to hold back his smile, “Blaine, will you go to prom with me?”
Blaine just about faints. Much like Kurt’s reaction, when Blaine sang to him and asked him to prom.
“I’d love to!” he cries, running forward and throwing his arms around Kurt. Then, in front of everyone, he pulls his head back, and kisses Kurt on the lips.
They’ve never kissed in front of Kurt’s friends. Kurt can hear Finn kind of gasp a little, but not in a bad way, just in surprise. Rachel and Mercedes squeal excitedly, and everyone else just starts clapping. When the kiss is over, both Kurt and Blaine are blushing like crazy.
“Thank you so much for doing this, guys,” says Kurt, turning to his friends. “I appreciate it, so much.”
“Yeah, but you’re buying us dessert at Breadstix next week!” yells Santana.
“Deal!”
Kurt and Blaine awkwardly go around and hug everyone before they leave.
“I told Kurt he should change the words to ‘somewhere over the Klainebow’, but he didn’t want to,” Brittany informs Blaine when she says bye to them.
“Aww, why didn’t you?” Blaine asks Kurt.
“It’s a classic song!”
“But we’re adorable! Aren’t we worth it?” Blaine makes a sad puppy face.
“Oh, be quiet.” Kurt laughs and kisses him on the cheek. As the others leave, he swears he could have sworn he heard Lauren whisper to Puck, “That was so worth it. That kiss was hot!”
Soon enough, everyone’s gone, and Kurt makes a little bed out of blankets on the grass. He and Blaine lay down next to each other, and Blaine leans his head on Kurt’s chest as they gaze up at the stars. When Kurt hears Blaine’s stomach rumble, he pulls out the brownies and milk.
“Ohmygod! Brownies!” Blaine exclaims. Within these last few months, Blaine has proven himself quite the chocaholic to Kurt. He eagerly devours a brownie, then Kurt hands him the quart of milk.
“I know you love warm milk,” Kurt explains, and Blaine gulps it down eagerly.
“Do you want any?” Blaine offers.
“You know I hate warm milk!” Kurt makes a face. “It’s so gross. I don’t know how you can stand it.”
“Well, more for me!” says Blaine cheerfully as he reaches for a second brownie.
Once all the brownies are gone, they lay like this for a while, just enjoying each other’s warmth and nature. Slowly the sun starts to peek over the horizon, bathing the hills and trees in beautiful shades of pinks and purples. The stars disappear, and birds start singing in the distance.
“This is really beautiful,” Blaine murmurs. “Thanks for doing all this, Kurt.”
“You’re thanking me for kidnapping you?”
“Well, it wasn’t that bad. You’re too nice of a kidnapper. I mean, you even let me pee before we left.”
“I wasn’t going to make you hold it! What if you had to go so bad, you peed in my car?”
“Oh, please, I could have handled it,” says Blaine.
“Fine. Then next time, I won’t let you pee first!”
Blaine laughs and kisses Kurt on the cheek. “I really love you.”
“I love you too, Blaine.”
“And I’m really, really excited to go to prom with you.”
