Sure, for everyone else it was just a regular field, with grass and some flowers, but Blaine was certain that no one besides him would find that place so beautiful. But he couldn't care less what other people thought, because to him it was the most perfect place in the word. Blaine couldn't ask for anything more, all the peace, the smell of nature, the full moon in the sky and stars shining brightly above, reflecting in Kurt's smile and skin. This was definitely heaven for him.

"No Mr. Anderson I usually don't ask people on dates at 1:00 a.m. I have this because I am a six grade teacher so I end having a lot of weird stuff in my car…" Kurt said putting a blanket on the ground and sitting. "So, are you bringing the other blanket over here or I will have to go there and get it?" The blue eyed teacher said winking.

"We are going to share a blanket?" Blaine whispered in surprised. His voice sounded the tiniest bit hoarse, but at least it didn't shake. The perspective of being that close to Kurt made Blaine's stomach flutter anxiously. Sure, Blaine kissed Kurt hours ago, but he did it on an impulse, desperate to show Kurt his feelings. And for Blaine sharing a simple blanket seemed so much more intimate and meaningful than a desperate kiss.

"Or you can sit in by my side shivering while use this warm blanket all alone…" teased Kurt smiling as he noticed Blaine's reaction.

Blaine's fears never came true, Kurt didn't see a pathetic inexperienced man when he looked to Blaine, all that the blue eyed teacher saw was an extraordinary and adorable man that make his heart skip a beat with his charming and timid nature. Kurt was completely enchantment by the way that he could easily make Blaine blush.

After a few moments of hesitation Blaine finally got the message and sat beside Kurt letting the young teacher wrap both of them up in the blanket. Blaine could almost feel his cheeks turning even redder. He never thought that he would feel like this, his heart beating madly, his hands sweating, in all his life Blaine never had experienced that. When he was a teenager all his dates was almost mechanical, Blaine did what was appropriate, always copying the girls moves, doing what he thought make her happy and his dad proud. None of his dates was like this one, so exciting, so amazing and frighten at same time.

"So why did you do it? Why you invite me in a date at 1:00 am?" Blaine asked trying to keep the conversation going.

"Well you looked like you needed it." Kurt answered leaning closer to Blaine. He laid his head on the soldiers shoulder keeping his eyes far away from there, thoughtfully looking to in the full moon in front of them.

Blaine was confused. "I look like I needed?" he asked trying to keep his focus on Kurt's words, not on the closeness between their bodies.

"You seemed so lost, trying to keep everything in control…" Kurt said finally looking in Blaine's eyes and noticing his confusion. "I know, I just sound like a crazy, but you have been controlled, and trained and suppressed in the past years. I bet you never stopped to look the moon since you've been home, am I right?" The blue eyed man concluded pointing one of his long fingers to the bright satellite shinning on the sky.

And was painful admit that, but was true, Kurt was right; he didn't look at the moon or anything else beautiful in the past years. Blaine couldn't even remember one single moment in his life that wasn't about control, routine.

When he was a teenager he hid who he was, lied to everybody, pretended to be the perfect son, even fixed a freaking car (that one he hated the most) was part of his perfect pretense. He kept his desires under control, he kept his true self hidden in order to feel safe, to not be rejected by the ones that he loved.

First he fooled himself by thinking that he was lying just because of school, that when it ended he would be brave enough to come out, without the risk of being bullied by his high school buddies that were always chasing girls like hormone crazed lunatics. But after that, even after the high school, he didn't stop lying, he didn't come out. He wasn't brave enough to look in his dad eyes and say the truth. And trying to escape his own lies, he ended up in middle of the horror of the war. And once more Blaine had to suppress his identity, this time becoming a weapon, an anonymous soldier manipulated by orders. Little by little, Blaine forgot what meant be truly alive and all the beautiful and simple things like watching the light of the full moon.

"I will take your silence like a yes." Kurt said rescuing Blaine for his dark thought and regrets.

"Who taught you this Hummel? Who made you this ninja capable of entering people's minds to discover all their secrets?" Asked Blaine truly impress by the capacity that the blue eyed teacher had to discover all his fears and secrets.

"Who? I guess that I got that from my mom. She was such an amazing person. She knew who I was even before I did. She was the one that showed me this place when I was little." practically whispered Kurt, remembering his beautiful mother, with her bright smile and warm embrace.

"She was? Oh...Kurt, I am so sorry for your loss…" Blaine said. He didn't know how Kurt was feeling but he certainly could imagine his pain because he didn't know what he would do if his own mom died. Blaine really loved her, he never was really honest with her, but still, she was an idol to him. She had a heart of pure gold, and all the little qualities, her honesty, her dependability and compassion. Sarah Ann was a great woman but she'd always sold herself short. One of the thousand reasons for Blaine's bad relationship with his father was the one to convince his mom that she was stupid and worthless.

"It's okay" Kurt said sadly smiling. "My mother never really left me, she gave me this place where I can hide every time that I felt bad, or depressed. In the past, every time that someone called "fag" or "fairy" or humiliated me in any way, I had a place to feel safe, just like I felt in her arms"

"I wish I had a place like this." Murmured Blaine lost in bitter thoughts. He never had a place to run and hide when his dad screamed at his mom, or when he would insinuate that Blaine was a failure for almost never bring a girl home.

"You have now." Kurt said surprising Blaine with his generosity.

"You are amazing. You know that?" was the only thing that Blaine could think of to say after he see how amazingly generous and strong Kurt was. Kurt had exposed his most vulnerable side to Blaine and still was strong enough to try comfort the pain that he saw it in Blaine's eyes.

"I can't say that I've ever heard that!" Kurt alleged teasingly and trying unsuccessfully hide the blush that was spreading over his cheeks due Blaine's words. He had obviously lied, no one besides his dad ever called him amazing. Kurt was used to "Fairy" "fag" "lady face", he spent his whole life those hearing hate words. But amazing? That was definitely new, especially been said by such a gorgeous man.

"Oh my god! I just made Kurt Hummel blush?" Blaine almost squealed, secretly enjoying the way how Kurt's dimples were showing under his blush. That was just too adorable.

"I will roll my eyes in bitchy way, and ignore your comment Anderson…See?" said Kurt rolling his eyes slightly amused.

Soon after that they were laughing again, there was no way that the blue eyed man could manage to keep in bitch mode for too long. Blaine was too adorable, too vulnerable and at same time too cute and kind to him do that.

They talked for hours, about music, coffee orders, and old movies. Everything between them seemed to fit so well, even their differences.

Neither one of them had ever had felt more comfortable around another person before, especially the veteran, Blaine seemed so relaxed, so free. For the first time in his life Blaine was being himself than he had ever been. He had even inclined himself slightly closer to Kurt. Feeling more of Kurt's warmth was what he wanted the most in that moment.

Of course that Blaine's approximation didn't go unnoticed by Kurt. He took the opportunity to lace his fingers with Blaine's fingers and rest his head again in the soldier's shoulder.

Blaine's body trembled a little due the contact, he knew that he was acting like a teenager girl, but Kurt was so close and he was so warm that Blaine couldn't help it. And Kurt wasn't touching him in a friendly way like he already had. This was the first time that Kurt had actually touched Blaine without try to comfort him for his past or fears, Kurt was just holding his hand, like a lover, like a boyfriend would do. And that felt good, unimaginably good. Blaine had fantasized with a moment like this for years. Dreaming what it would be like to be touched in that way, how it would be to kiss, hold hands, sit together with another man. And even after years dreaming about, Blaine concluded that nothing that he had imagined could compare to what was happening right now. Blaine could actually see himself having a future with Kurt, they have a connection, he couldn't explain why or how, but they did.

"Look the sunrise is about an hour. I really don't know how I will go to work tomorrow. " Kurt sighed burying his face in Blaine's arm. The blue eyed teacher didn't regret having spent his night there with Blaine. He was just trying to think of a good way to deal with all those hyperactive kids in the morning, when he had not gotten any sleep.

"I am sorry" Blaine murmured breathing the vanilla essence that came from Kurt's hair.

"I was the one that asked you on a date at 1A.M.! Why you are apologizing? Besides this date was totally worth it" Kurt said raising his head making his face became incredibly close to Blaine's making both breathless for a moment.

Blaine could have tried to use words to describe how he was feeling, how much he was that date had been amazing. But words had never been his strong point, and somehow Kurt already seemed to know that because he found a way to make the hazel eyed man express himself.

Grabbing Blaine's neck Kurt pulled him into an affectionate kiss. Blaine didn't fully process what was happening, suddenly Kurt's lips were against his and one of Kurt's hands was clutching his shirt bringing him closer, but even without fully processing, Blaine brought his hand up to Kurt's cheek kissing him back passionately. Kurt parted his lips and slipped his tongue out, licking Blaine's bottom lip, and Blaine instantly opened his mouth. His tongue found Kurt's, gently battling for dominance and making Blaine almost moan in the process. Their first kiss was needy, desperate, this one, well this one was different, it was pure affection and excitement.

One of Kurt's hands tangled itself in Blaine's hair before the blued eyed teacher gently pulled away from the kiss. Kurt wouldn't mind kissing Blaine until sunrise, but in that moment something inside him made Kurt feel the need to look in Blaine's eyes. He needed to witness Blaine's excitement, Blaine's desire, to see those feelings would make everything feel a lot more real and Kurt would have be certain that he wasn't dreaming again and that he wouldn't be waking alone in his bed like he had in the past 14 nights.

They looked into each others eyes as if for the first time, and Kurt had the certainty, that wasn't a dream, it was reality. Kurt couldn't help it and smiled widely as Blaine did the same, for the first in their life, reality seemed more enjoyable than their dreams and fantasies.

"Certainly worth it" Kurt said letting out a little chuckle before both moved forward for another kiss.
