Blaine looked up. "What? Mom, I still have my Government project to start on."
"Didn't you tell me that isn’t due until the middle of April?" Janet asked. "You can take a few days and act like a teenager. A responsible one, I mean. Now go upstairs and try to relax. I’ll call you down when I set the table."
"Thanks, Mom," he replied with a final hug before retreating to his room. He grabbed his bag off the couch where he had dropped it on his way. If he was forbidden to work on anything the next few days, he may as well have worked on the assignments due Monday.
Blaine was checking a text Artie had sent him when he walked into his bedroom. He set his bag by his desk before noticing the legs in front of the seat. He dropped his phone and stepped back, finally getting a look at the person intruding on his space.
"That's not quite the greeting I expected," Kurt said grinning.
"Kurt!" Blaine exclaimed, attacking his boyfriend with hugs and kisses. "I thought you couldn't get away from work?"
"Some things just need to remain surprises until the last second."
Burying his face into Kurt's neck, Blaine replied, "You sure know how to surprise me. Wait, how did you get here? I would have noticed if your car was out front."
"Your mother took the day off work and drove to Dayton to pick me up." Kurt tried to remain calm despite the lips attacking that place on his neck. "Happy anniversary, honey."
"So happy," Blaine mumbled into skin and muscles. "I wish I had known, only so I could have bought something for you."
Kurt lifted Blaine's head back up. "You know you don't have to do that. But I do have one more thing to give you."
"Oh yeah? What's that?"
"You'll have to evacuate my lap in order for me to retrieve it," he said. Blaine stood up, allowing Kurt to stand and walk over to where his suitcases were located. When he reached them, he unzipped the front pocket of his carry-on and pulled out a sheet of paper before turning back around and handing it to Blaine. "I've had this for quite a while now, and I figured it was time to pass it on."
Blaine studied the page, tracing a finger along the red lines. "How long is a while?"
"Since the day you announced you wanted to serenade Jeremiah?" Kurt said, trying not to look up.
"I had a feeling you weren't working on makeovers or whatever you claimed it was when I announced the meeting for my serenade," Blaine joked.
Kurt had to laugh, remembering how everything he thought had changed in that moment. "I know you found out a few days later," he began, taking Blaine's hands in his own, "but I was in love with you even then. And I always will be."
"Me too," Blaine said leaning in for a kiss.
Even after ten weeks apart, the two fell right back into old habits. It didn't take long for them to settle on Blaine's bed, still exploring, reacquainting lips and hands with the places they knew best. By the time Janet knocked to let them know dinner was almost ready, they had worn themselves out and fallen asleep in each other's arms. She smiled, happy that Blaine had someone who could relieve a week's worth of stress in a matter of moments.
Kurt was allowed to spend the evening before Finn picked him up early Saturday afternoon to take him home for the remainder of his break. Blaine told his mother he needed to at least get his weekend homework done before he headed out for a movie marathon with the Hummels. On Monday morning, he placed the heart in his locker as a reminder that in just over two months, he would be off to the real world and New York, where his heart was located.
