Blaine didn’t even bother to knock on the front door of the Hummel house. He’d texted Kurt from school. He knew where to find his boyfriend.

He took the steps two at a time, hurrying up only stop slightly out of breath at the door to Kurt’s room. He didn’t even hesitate for a moment before lifting his hand to knock at the door.

There was only a moment’s pause before the door was opened, and Blaine found himself pulled close into Kurt’s arms. Blaine tilted his head up, tangling a hand into Kurt’s hair to pull him into a deep kiss. Blaine could feel his boyfriend’s hand tug at the back of his polo shirt and the heat pool warm in his stomach.

Eventually, and Blaine couldn’t really tell you how long it had been, Kurt pulled back with a ragged breath and a broken laugh, tugging Blaine out of the doorway and into the room. “I could almost believe you missed me.” He joked breathlessly.

Blaine stepped back into Kurt’s embrace, tilting his head forward to rest it into the crook of Kurt’s neck, breathing in his boyfriend’s scent before he spoke, letting his breath tickle over Kurt’s skin. “Just a little bit. God, it’s so good to have you here.”

Kurt pressed a kiss against the gel of Blaine’s hair, a genuine smile not leaving his face. “I never thought I’d be so glad to be in Ohio. Or that I’d be so annoyed to know that Carole is due home any minute.”

Blaine pulled back just enough to be able to see his boyfriend, wrapping his arms loosely around Kurt’s neck. “I’m not sure I’ve ever been so happy to know that my parents will be gone for a full weekend.” He countered before leaning in for another kiss, keeping it lighter, sweet. Staying within bounds of what he knew he wouldn’t be overly embarrassed if Carole walked in on.

Kurt let go of his shirt, letting his arms wrap back around Blaine’s neck as he finally broke the kiss. “This is definitely a good time for that news. You know, I’d still drag you over to the bed to cuddle and talk, but I seem to have covered it in everything I need to unpack. Definitely poor planning on my part.”

Blaine laughed, tilting his head forward to let his forehead rest against Kurt’s. “Then maybe we need to fix that? As much as I want to hold on to you like a leech for the rest of our lives, maybe we should work on getting you unpacked instead.”

“A leech. You are going to do me in with all this romance.” Kurt teased, leaning in to to press one last quick kiss to Blaine’s lips before he stepped out of his boyfriend’s arms. “That sounds like a good plan. Once we’ve put away what’s on the bed, maybe we can cuddle and watch a movie? Unless you have homework?”

Blaine shook his head letting out a little sigh as he let go of Kurt. “Nothing besides a bit of reading. One good thing about taking all those AP classes is that after the AP tests, my workload has decreased dramatically. I think that sounds like a perfect plan. I really, really want to just spend all evening holding you. I can manage to survive waiting until you come over this weekend to have you inside me, but I really want to hold you in my arms.” Blaine said with a blush coloring his cheeks. “I want that proof that you’re actually /here/.”

“I can’t imagine my parents are going to object to us cuddling, not today at least. But this weekend? Expect me as early as I can get there to take you up on that offer.” Kurt added a flush coloring his own cheeks, moving back to unzip a bag, glancing at what was inside quickly before he moved toward his vanity area. “Can you take the suitcase? I’m just going to start out by washing everything, but it needs separated by colors.”

Blaine nodded, unable to hold back a smile. “I know enough to separate colors. I also know you’ll go through and check my work before you wash any of this. Do you want me to start a separate pile for dry cleaning?” He asked, as he unzipped the bag. “Since you know, that’s a good chunk of your clothes?”

Kurt laughed as he set each jar back into it’s place on the bottom ledge of his mirror. “It’s not as big of a chunk of what I took to college, but yes please.” Kurt tilted one jar until the label was showing. “It’s so odd putting this all back here. I feel like I’ve changed by life has stood still.”

“I promise it’s gone on without you.” Blaine said then couldn’t hide a wince. “I didn’t mean that in a bad way.” He added quickly, started to pull out clothes and sort it into the right section of the hamper. His brow furrowed as he hit something hard in amidst the clothing. Blaine pulled a pair of pajamas out to reveal a warm toned wooden box. He lifted it out, running one hand along the smooth wood. “What’s this?”

Kurt leaned around from his vanity to see what Blaine was talking about. His blush returned as he walked over. “It’s a memory box.”

“A memory box?” Blaine echoed, letting his curiosity show in his tone.

“I kept your letters this year, and a lot of the things you sent me. I know that those are memories I want to keep forever.” Kurt said simply, taking the box out of Blaine’s hands, moving to set it on his bookshelf next to a picture of him dancing with Blaine at Prom.

“I never love you more than when you surprise me.” Blaine said, moving up behind Kurt to wrap his arms around the other man’s waist.

Kurt leaned back slightly, pressing his back into the warmth of Blaine’s chest. “They were always there to tide me over if I felt lonely or when I missed you too much. Just ask Thomas, when you see him next Fall.”

“Next Fall. I can’t wait.” Blaine rested his chin forward onto Kurt’s shoulder. “I want to feel free to walk down the street holding your hand. At the same time I can’t believe I only have one more week at McKinley.”

“Your graduation is a week from Saturday, right? You know that my whole family will be there cheering you on. Do your parents have anything planned for afterward?” Kurt asked softly, not wanting to move just yet out of Blaine’s embrace.

“You’re assuming they’ll be there.” Blaine said, letting a hint of bitterness show, as Kurt twisted in Blaine’s arms, moving to give his boyfriend a sympathetic look. “But actually, I do expect them to show up. Along with some extended family. They at least need to maintain appearances.” Blaine let out a whoosh of breath. “As much as I hesitate to put our parents in the same room, I did plan to bring you all an invitation to the graduation party they’re throwing Saturday afternoon. I was just waiting for dinner tomorrow night. That last time I saw your dad, he did insist that I come to every Friday night dinner this summer.”

“That sounds like my father. I’m honestly surprised he didn’t make you come to dinner every Friday night all year. And you know we’ll be there. Good luck keeping me away.” Kurt paused, waiting for Blaine to crack a smile at that. “I’ll even tell Dad to play nice for the night.”

“Please.” Blaine said before he just smiled. “I definitely came over more than one or two Friday nights. It was nice, but it wasn’t the same without you there.” He admitted before he leaned in to press a soft kiss to Kurt’s lips. “I’m so glad to be back with you. Somehow it just makes everything better to know that no matter what, you’ll be there right beside me, holding me up if I need it.”
