Chapter 10: Welcome home.

Blaine woke up in the spare room and immediately jumped up smiling. Today was the day. He had a quick shower and threw on a pair of tracksuit bottoms, t-shirt and hoodie. He didn't put any gel his hair ether. He didn't really mind how he looked, he just needed to sit in a car for 11 hours, and get out, he was getting to Kurt's at 8pm, so he had time to unpack and change.

As he came downstairs Carole practically squealed at the sight of his hair, she ran up and immediately began to ruffle it. Burt entered the room, "Carole! No squealing! It's half 3 in the morning!"

"Sorry, but, it's just so cute!" She squealed excitedly fluffing it again.

"Thanks, Kurt likes it too, I just barley ever let him see it." Blaine laughed.

"You all packed?" Burt questioned eager to go.

"Yep! Just got one last bag of stuff I needed last night and we're ready!" He picked up the bag from his side and sighed looking around. He was going to miss what had been his home for the last year. As he closed the door behind him, he smiled, he wasn't leaving forever, sooner or later he would be back here with Kurt, for Christmases and Birthdays, maybe even for his children's birthdays. He smiled at the thought of that, him and Kurt being married with kids. With that thought he closed the door as he opened the new chapter in his life.

"Fincheeeelllll! I don't wanna go out today! I'm still broken hearted about the fact Blaine cancelled our Skype date for today!"

"Maybe he had a good reason?" Finn shrugged. "OW Rachel don't kick me!"

"You asked for it! Now Kurt, as fun as moping around the house all day is, you need to come out today! You have to!"

"Do you two know something I don't?"

Rachel gulped, time for plan b. "Blaine may or may not have called almost in tears because he felt so bad cancelling, he said to take you out today and give you the best day of your life and he can surprise you with and extra Skype call tomorrow instead..." Catching on, Finn joined in.

"Rachel! You ruined a brilliant surprise! Now we have to treat Kurt anyway!"

"Oh fine, I guess if I can get a brilliant day and a Skype call, then who am I to complain? Where are we off to?"

"Sightseeing! We've lived here for a month and never been! So we thought, why not today?"

"Oh fine, just let me go and get changed."

It had been 6 hours in the car of Burt, Blaine and Carole swapping driver every 2 hours, it was Burt's turn again.

"Sat-Nav say's only 3 hours left! There's practically no traffic, we'll be there in no time!" Blaine and Carole sighed in relief, there was practically no leg room and they only got 5 minute breaks every 2 hours, and a bathroom break every 4 hours. They were going insane!

Blaine pulled out his phone to text Rachel,

Hey Rach, about 3 hours away. How's it going at your end? Xxx

Had to go to plan b, you owe me like $100. ;-) He knows he can get away with being treated to nice things since he thinks you're giving him the "best day ever". -_- xxx

Sounds a lot like him LOL don't worry, will pay you back, I'll live with him to give you and Finn space?Xxx

Sound's like a deal!;-) Off to the Statue of Liberty then back home, taken his mind off it like you asked, are you showing up at ours, or are we casually stopping by ‘Finn's friend's house.' We can't keep him out and meet you as planned, he's already dragging his feet and moping!Xxx

I'll stop by, blindfold him, -again- and take him to our new apartment?Xxx

Sound's fab! See you then!:-)xxx

See ya!:Dxxx

Blaine sighed and leant back into his seat. Everything was going to be perfect.

-

The car pulled up outside the apartment block. Blaine grabbed 2 suitcases and put his guitar on his back, Burt picked up the remaining suitcase and a box, Carole carried out the last 3 boxes. With everything out the boot, they got into the elevator. Pressing the number 4, Blaine was shaking with excitement, the elevator doors pinged open, Blaine walked down the corridor slowly getting his bearings, he saw it apartment 4E. Shaking he pulled the key out his pocket opening the door slowly. It was already fully furnished. He stepped in tentatively and put his suitcases and guitar to the side of the door.

"It's perfect." He whispered.

"It's yours." Burt smiled coming in from behind him. "Now let's make it even more homely, put up the photo's and unpack." Blaine nodded in agreement and walked towards the fridge placing a picture of him and Kurt up with a heart shaped magnet. He loved this place already.

-

There was a knock at the door, everyone was sat in the living room, Finn and Rachel were trying insanely hard to suppress their smiles as Kurt got up to open the door. "Dad, Carole! What are you doing here?" He asked embracing them both and letting them in, "Oh god no. Where's Blaine, is he okay, is he-?"

"I assure you I'm perfectly fine" Came a voice from the doorway, where Blaine stood leaning against the wall, in his skinny jeans plain white top and a baggy black cardigan, his curls flowing free.

"Blaine!" Kurt squealed running to him, throwing his arms round his neck as he kissed him. Finn knew what to do, he ran after Kurt and quickly tied a dressing gown belt around Kurt's wrists as Burt placed a blindfold over Kurt's eyes, before he could fight Blaine had picked him up, one arm under Kurt's knees and one on his back. He whispered into Kurt's ear, "Sorry my love, but you're being kidnapped by us."

Kurt squirmed to get free but Blaine just held him tighter, "Where are we going?" He whined as he felt himself being places into a car and being belted in.

"I'm afraid I can't tell you that, Honey. You'll just have to wait and see."

-

Blaine slowly placed Kurt on the floor, he untied his hands, "Don't take the blindfold off yet please, but I need you to hold my hand, we have to do this part together." He took Kurt's hand and placed a key into it, holding his hand into place, he helped guide the key into the lock and turn it.

Kurt felt a door opening as Blaine took the key from him, and held his hand again, leading him forward. He heard Burt and Carole follow. "Blaine, what's going on?"

Blaine removed his blindfold, and put his arms round Kurt from behind, kissing him softly on the ear he whispered, "Welcome home, Kurt."

Kurt opened his eyes to see a beautiful cream coloured living room, with deep red velvet couches. There was photo of him on the left hand side of the TV-which was wall mounted- and a picture of Blaine on the right. There was a wooden coffee table in the middle, with two coffee coasters. There was an adjoining kitchen, separated by a small brick ledge with a wooden top stretching halfway across the wall to wall distance. In the kitchen there was a small table, a fridge-freezer, a sink and glass above head cupboards with white edges. His favourite picture of him and Blaine was already hung on the fridge.

He gasped looking around, tears filling in his eyes, "You guys! You didn't need to do this, I mean, it's wonderful, but I'm fine with Finn and Rachel, I can't live on my own, I'm sorry, I'd just get too lonely." Kurt sighed looking around.

Everyone started giggling, "What are you laughing at?" Kurt asked, tears threatening to spill over. First they do all this and he has to say now, and now he's being laughed at. Great day. Blaine saw that his boyfriends was slowly becoming even more distressed and ran to him holding him tightly in a hug. "Blaine, thank you so much, I just can't live alone...I'm too scared."

"Who said anything about living alone?"

"I have a roommate? But it's a one bedroom apartment, I-"

"Kurt." Blaine stared into Kurt's eyes and raised his eyebrows. Kurt looked into those deep hazel eyes and as he went to look away he saw a pile of suitcases in the corner of the room.  Blaine saw Kurt's eyes widen as his mouth dropped open. He picked Kurt up and spun him round, kissing him on the lips and holding him tightly as he did so. As he put him back down tears came too in both boys eyes.

"Blaine, how-I-how did you do this?" Kurt gasped.

"Your parents did it. They brought us the apartment and we have the same deal as Finn and Rachel. They're also paying for me to go to a private school about a 30 minute walk away. I said it was too much but they kind of insisted..." Kurt flew into his parents arms, holding them both close.

"Thank you both so much. I love you." Kurt whispered from the middle of the hug, He broke connection for a minute, grabbed Blaine's hand and dragged him into the hug too. Almost as if on cue there was a knock at the door, it was Finn and Rachel, they knew the address and had brought Kurt an overnight bag. "Finn, Rachel! Did you know about this?"

"Maybeee..." Rachel teased. Kurt sighed sarcastically and took Blaine's hand letting himself be given the ‘grand tour.'

When Blaine, Burt and Carole had shown everyone around, the other two couples left and headed back to the other apartment, Burt and Carole would be sleeping in Kurt's bed that night and head home the next day around noon.

When they had left, Blaine and Kurt sank in to their sofa snuggling against each other.  "We're both off school for the next week so we can settle in by the way, I spoke to your professors, and they were fine with it. Plus, it gives us more time to catch up."

"Do we need to? This is it you know. From here on out, we'll spend almost every day in each other's arms."

"Well when you say it like that...." Blaine sighed and placed a kiss to Kurt's head, "It makes me wish we'd don't it sooner."

The two boys stayed like that for hours, daydreaming and just snuggling together, then they went to bed and just held each other tightly, the thing they had missed so much. They were both home.
