Blaine watched as Kurt finally caught his finger, making him grin insanley. His face was still melted completely as he wiggled his finger a bit in between Kurt’s teeth, pretending as if he was trying to get lose when he didn’t really want to “You got me.”
Kurt grinned as he felt Blaine’s finger wiggle and try and get lose from his grip, he wasn’t going to let it go though. He bit a tiny bit more and shook his head at Blaine as if saying no. Kurt was poking Blaine’s finger with his tongue trying to hide a giggle.
“Alright, you can keep that then.” Blaine teased with a laugh, the giggle gone. He could feel Kurt’s tongue on his finger every few seconds, which made him laugh again. His fiancee was the most adorable thing ever, even though he didn’t think he was.
Kurt grinned more when Blaine said he could keep his finger, he continued poking it with his tongue. The whole time he was looking into Blaine’s eyes, watching him melt. He already knew he had won, but he didn’t really want to stop.
“H-having fun there?” Blaine asked a little shakily, staring down at Kurt as he kept hold of his finger. Kurt had melted him and he physically didn’t know if he could be melted any more, Kurt just did that to him. He was thankful that he had the ability to speak so he could talk to Kurt, but his face still showed how melted he was.
Kurt nodded since he wouldn’t really speak with Blaine’s finger in his mouth, he tried saying “i love you” and it came out like “i wub wuu.” He smiled up at Blaine, deciding when to release his finger, he could tell Blaine was the most melted he had ever been and because of that he decided to release his finger now. His teeth slowly removed themselves from Blaine’s finger and smiled widely at him.
Blaine couldn’t keep back his grin when Kurt attempted to say I love you, but it came out all muffled. “I wub wuu too.” He teased back, taking his finger back when Kurt released it and tapping his fiancee’s nose. His other hand was still tangled up in Kurt’s hair, but it stayed still was just stroked sections between his thumb and forefinger.
Kurt smiled when Blaine repeated what he said back to him, his nose scrunching as it was tapped. His hands took the one that was just in his mouth and started playing with it as he started saying sweet things to Blaine to see how much more he could melt him. “I don’t know why people don’t say sweet things to you, you’re such a sweetie and sweeties are sweet, just like sugar. You are the sweetest, most beautiful person i have ever met, other than myself of course. You are just sooooo precious, so adorable, so amazing.”
Blaine just stared down at Kurt in awe as he spoke, not thinking he could be any more melted than he was now. He opened his mouth to try and respond, but nothing came out, he had lost his ability to speak. Kurt just continued to melt him. The playing with his hand was also melting him, he absolutely loved it when Kurt did that.
“My brave beautiful beloved baby Blaine, oh how i love you so. When you’re happy you’re like a beautiful summers day and when you’re sad you make my heart break from the sadness i never want to see you in. When you smile you brighten the world and when you cry you make the world cry with you, because you are the world. And not just anyones world, you’re my world and my hero.” Kurt smiled bring up Blaine’s hand stopping playing with it for a seconds to kiss it before resuming the playing.
Blaine let his jaw drop a bit more as he listened to Kurt, moving and re positioning himself so that he was laying directly on top of Kurt with his chin on Kurt’s chest, looking up at him with one hand in his hair and the other being played with as Kurt spoke. Kurt knew exactly what to do to melt him, and his plan was working. Blaine thought that if Kurt would keep this up, he would literally melt into a pile of goo.
“I see why so many people are in love with you, i see it everytime i look at you, or close my eyes because you’re always in my head and my heart. You always will be because i will always love you. I know forever is such a long time and anything can happen between now and then but there is something i am certain on and i know it will never change and that is my love for you and your love for me. We have a love that no one else in the world has, ours is true, so completely and utterly true. I love you.” Kurt said honestly, smiling smitten, he meant every single word.
Kurt’s words went from more to speaking sappy things about them instead of just him, which only added to the level of melted he already was. The hand that was in Kurt’s hair slipped down and cupped his cheek, stroking it softly with the pad of his thumb as both of their smiles and gazes were smitten “Iloveyoutoo.” Blaine tried to say, but due to how melted he was, it all stringed together as one word. He took a deep breath and tried again, wanting to say it right because that’s what Kurt desereved. “I love you, Kurt. I love you soooo much.”
“And i love you, Blaine. I love you sooooo much too.” Kurt smiled, Blaine had been melted enough Kurt thought. He gazed at him, his hands still played with that one in his, bring it up for kisses every few minutes. “I meant every word you know, every little bit.”
“I know you did. I meant what I said too. Even though it wasn’t as much…” Blaine could speak again, looking up at Kurt with that loving gaze of his as his chin rested on his fiancee’s chest. He didn’t know how he looked right now, but he knew how Kurt looked with that smitten smile of his. “You are so stunning, did you know that?”
“Its enough for me.” Kurt smiled more, Blaine was absolutely beautiful especially right now, he was completely gorgeous. The early morning sun rays streaming through the window over Blaine making him look like God, something which Kurt didn’t believe him but the pictures he had seen showed Gods to be beautiful and Blaine most of the time was just so unreal. He blushed a tiny bit when he was called stunning. “You may have mentioned it once or twice.”
“Once or twice? Well, I’ll need to tell you that sooooooo much more often if I’ve only said it once or twice. Because it’s true.” Blaine said, his hand still running through Kurt’s hair as he spoke to him. “Should I start now? Hmmm… you’re stunning. You’re stunning. You’re stunning. You’re stunning. You’re stunning. You’re stunning….” Blaine repeated over and over, grinning as he did.
Kurt giggled as Blaine repeated himself over and over. “So i’m gorgeous?” He joked playing with Blaine’s hand still. “You’re such a cutieeeee, soooo cute, Blaine Anderson is a cutieeeee, so very very cuteeeeee. I love the cute. You’re a cutie.” Kurt repeated over and over just like Blaine did. “Now you can’t try and say that i called you it once or twice.”
“Well yes, very very very very very very gorgeous. Buttttttttt what I was sayinggggg, was that you’re stunning, just stunning, absolutely stu-” Blaine started, but the grin that took over his face and what Kurt was saying stopped him in his tracks. “So I take it that you think I’m not a cutie?” He teased back, scooting up a little as he lay on Kurt.
Kurt nodded at Blaine’s question. “Nope not cute at allllllllll.” He grinned. He brought Blaine’s hand up to his lips and kissed it again, leaning it against his cheek for a few minutes before resuming to play with it. “You are so unbelievably cuteeeeeee, you beautiful cutieeeee.”
“Why thank you.” Blaine said, pouting when Kurt said he wasn’t a cutie. He watched as Kurt continued to play with his hand and kiss it. “You just loooooooooove my hand don’t you.” He teased, stroking Kurt’s face when his hand was pressed against his cheek. Kurt did play with Blaine’s hand a lot, something Blaine found absolutely adorable.
“I dooooo love your hand, i love allllllllll of youuuuu.” Kurt grinned feeling Blaine’s other hand stroking his face. He loved playing with Blaine’s hands, he loved piecing them together seeing how perfectly they fitted together. He started doing just that, slotting his fingers in and out of Blaine’s, smiling at Blaine as he did. “A puzzle, they fit so perfectly together, like us.”
Blaine’s eyes focused on Kurt’s fingers lacing with his and couldn’t conceal his grin. “That, my dear, is so true.” He couldn’t stop staring at what Kurt’s fingers were doing, they both loved it when Kurt played with his hand. Blaine never really returned the favor, or didn’t even know if Kurt would want him to, so he made a mental note to test this out one day.
Kurt realized something, Blaine had never played with his hand, he only held it. He wouldn’t mind if Blaine did it, he’d love him to try one day but he wasn’t going to say anything in case it would seem like he was forcing Blaine. “Your hands are so big and strong, beautiful hands.”
Blaine moved his hand and covered up his own face with it when Kurt said his hands were big, trying to compare it to something and for some reason he decided to use his face. “Not that big… seeeeeee?” He parted his fingers and looked at Kurt through them, smiling even though his palm was covering it up.
Kurt smiled at Blaine’s cuteness. “Nooo not that big, but they are still big for hands and for someone so small.” He teased taking Blaine’s hand from his face and held it up against one of his. “See how our hand sizes compare, yours is bigger than mine, not by much though.” He smiled before lacing their fingers.
“Hey now, I’m only a little bit shorter than you… I can’t help being a hobbit.” Blaine said as Kurt took his hand off of his face, showing the grin that was previously concealed. He nodded and focused on their hands as Kurt spoke, both of them moving their fingers together at the exact same time. Blaine’s eyes drifted up to the clock, trying to see what time it was.
“Awwww you poor thing, i keep telling you, you aren’t a hobbit. They are iddy biddy little things and you aren’t that much shorter than me.” Kurt grinned as their fingers locked at the same time, he followed Blaine’s eyes to the clock, he assumed Blaine was trying to check the time. “Trying to speed up time?”
“More like slow it down.” Blaine said, looking back to Kurt. He didn’t want to speed up time at all, this was the day they were leaving Vermont and had to go back to the real world. Being there in Vermont, away from all the drama back at home and just being with the two of them was like heaven, and Blaine didn’t want it to be over so soon.
“I wish we could, i don’t want to leave and go back to the real world. Here, we are away from all the drama, its like being in heaven here just the two us. I don’t want it to be over so soon.” Kurt said sadly, he’d had the most amazing time ever while he was in Vermont and it was because of Blaine. He really didn’t want to go home and live in fear that he was going to bump into Jesse St James or simply just be there without Blaine.
Blaine just stared at Kurt in awe, eyebrow raised, as he talked. “Kurt… you honestly just said word for word what I was thinking. I swear, you can read my mind….” He laughed a bit and shook his head, it was a weird connection thing they had where Kurt could read his mind. He occasionally did the same with reading Kurt’s mind, but not as often.
Kurt’s jaw dropped a bit as Blaine spoke, that was weirdest thing he had heard in a long time. He knew he could read Blaine’s mind but word for word? “I did? Oh my god… i can really read your mind, thats so weird and awesome at the same time.” He couldn’t believe it, he loved that connection, he never had that with anyone else. Well why should he? Blaine was his soulmate, no one else was.
“It is… that’s so cool. But it makes sense, you know?” Blaine said, lifting his chin up off of Kurt’s chest and shifting so that he wasn’t lying as much on top of Kurt, not wanting to crush him. He still stared up at Kurt, waiting for his reaction. “Since we have this amazing connection with each other.”
“It really does make sense, we do have an amazing connection. Its a soulmate thing.” Kurt said kissing Blaine’s hands and smiled widely, it slowly turning into confusion when Blaine lifted his chin off him and shifting so he wasn’t as much on him. He didn’t know why he did that, Blaine was just lying on him fine, he wasn’t hurting or crushing him.
Blaine shifted again so that he was completely cuddled up against Kurt, his head on Kurt’s chest with both arms around him in a hug. “Sorry about moving… I really just wanted to hug you.” He explained after seeing Kurt’s confusion tangling their legs back together with his foot stroking Kurt’s.
Kurt smiled lovingly at Blaine, a little melted from what Blaine said, he wrapped both his arms around Blaine in return. “Well you can hug me anytime you want, i love you hugging me.” He smiled giving his head a kiss, his stomach had butterflies from the simple touch of Blaine’s foot on his.
“Well good, because I’m not going to stop. Everrrrrrrrr.” Blaine said, nestling his head more against Kurt’s chest and snuggling even closer to him. “You’re just so cuddly. So comfy. I could cuddle with you all day.” He moved his head and gave Kurt’s chest a long kiss, his foot still stroking the top of Kurt’s.
“I don’t want you to.” Kurt smiled looking down at his fiancee who was snuggling more into him. Blaine seemed pretty cuddly right now but Kurt didn’t mind one bit, he remembered how cuddly he was when they were swimming in the river. “I wish you could cuddle me all day snuggle bear, but we leave today don’t we? You’re pretty comfy yourself, you’re a pillow.”
Blaine pouted a bit when Kurt reminded him that they had to leave today. “I don’t want to gooooooo back.” He said, still pouting as he hid his face in Kurt’s chest. He turned his head again to look at Kurt, grinning when he called him a pillow. “You’re a pillow too. A beautiful, comfy, good smelling pillow.”
Kurt was pouting too, he didn’t want to go back either. “I know, i don’t either. I like being here and happy with you. Well we’re happy as long as we’re together.” Kurt smiled as Blaine kissed his chest, more down at Blaine. “Awwww thats so sweet, thank you.” He said with a laugh. “You are too.”
“That’s true….. as long as I’ve got you and you’re happy, I’m happy.” Blaine said with a grin as he looked up at him. “I don’t think either of us have used a real pillow instead of the other person’s chest for a little while now…” He noticed, thinking for a second about it. “Not that I would ever want to. You’re the best pillow in the world.”
“Thats the same with me, as long as i have you, i’m happy.” Kurt smiled widely down at him, his fingers walking up his back returning to Blaine’s hair. “I don’t think we have and why should we? We’re both the worlds best pillows, i never want to either. I love resting on your chest, its sooo comfy and warm and inviting.”
Blaine pressed his head more against Kurt’s hand, knowing that they both loved having Kurt’s fingers tangled up in his hair. “You too. Just like rightttttt now.” He said, patting Kurt’s chest and giving it a kiss for emphasis. He then wrapped his arms more around his fiancee and let his the stroking that Blaine’s foot was giving Kurt’s a bit softer.
Kurt’s hand started gently running through the little curls, stroking it and playing at the same time. He grinned as Blaine patted and kissed his chest, he would have done the same thing. He smiled lovingly at Blaine still feeling his foot being stroked and watched as the arms that belonged to his fiancee wrap more around him, making his own arm around Blaine hold him closer. “I couldn’t ask for a better pillow.”
“Neither could I.” Blaine said, letting his eyes close for a second as he lay curled up on Kurt’s chest, extremely comfortable. He didn’t want to go home yet, or even get up and eat and get his stuff together. Kurt hadn’t slept since his nightmare, or that’s at least what Blaine thought. “Are you sleepy? At all?”
Kurt leaned down and watched as Blaine’s eyes closed for a second giving his head a soft kiss. He wished they didn’t have to leave or move, just stay there, just them. Kurt hadn’t actually slept since the nightmare, he didn’t want to either, he was too scared to and Blaine was awake and things were amazing with them. He also didn’t want to just fall asleep on them and have Blaine do nothing but just watch him, fearing that Blaine would get bored and disappear somewhere. “A little,” He said honestly. “But i don’t want to sleep, i want stay like this with you.”
Blaine wanted Kurt to get some sleep if he was tired, but he wasn’t going to make Kurt sleep if Kurt didn’t want to. “Okay. Just tell me if you want to sleep, I won’t mind.” His eyes fluttered back open to smile at Kurt, kissing his chest one more time as he did. He still was hugging Kurt, both arms around his torso while he held himself close to his fiancee.
“I’m just too scared to sleep, like i’m too scared to go home.” Kurt shrugged looking down, he was afraid of bumping into Jesse or even worse Blaine bumping into him. “I don’t want to go home, i don’t feel safe at home unlike here.” He said honestly, he always told Blaine the truth and now he did.
Blaine kept staring up at Kurt as he spoke, nodding a bit when he said he didn’t feel safe. He understood, and it broke his heart a little bit. “I know…. I’ll try my best to make you feel more safe when we get home. I don’t want to go home either, I honestly wish we could stay here forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever…”
“I wish we could, but we can’t can we? And i know you will try but the last thing i want is for you to get hurt. You won’t be with me every second of every day and as much as i wish that was possible, at the moments not. Here, with you, i’ve never felt safer. I can’t remember when i last felt this safe, not having to worry about bullies and being assaulted in any way. I hate living in fear, i can’t keep living like that.” Kurt looked at Blaine, his eyes now full of sadness and fear.
Blaine shifted again so that he wasn’t hugging Kurt anymore, but he was laying back down on top of him, staring down lovingly at him and running a hand through his hair as he spoke. He hated it when Kurt felt that way. “I know I know…. which is why I want to try to get it to stop. He wouldn’t hurt me, I’m pretty sure of that. I want it to all stop just as much as you do, I really do.”
“i’m not going to give him what he wants, never ever am i going to give that to him. I know that he is no competition but i always feel like i have to keep fighting and i’m the only one fighting and trying to get him to stop. Okay so he wouldn’t hurt you, what makes you say that he won’t hurt me again? I know you say you won’t let him and you’ll protect me but you can’t be around me every second of every day, as much as we want it until summer that can’t happen.” Kurt moved the hand from in Blaine’s hand back around Blaine holding him so he wouldn’t fall.
Blaine’s heart sank when Kurt said he felt like he was the only one fighting to get him to stop. He thought he had been fighting as well, but he realized all he did was look after Kurt after something happened. He also hated the thought that because of that, he was more of Kurt’s caretaker than protector. “Okay…. I know I won’t be around you every second of every day, but I’ll still try better than I have been to make sure nothing happens to you. The best I can, I promise.”
“I need you to fight, at the moment it really is only me, which is giving him what he wants. He wants you and if you’re not fighting you’re giving him more hope. I can’t lose you, i won’t lose you and i can only do so much in this fight to get him to leave us alone. I can’t do it all alone Blaine, i need you.” Kurt was looking him straight in the eye as he spoke, he was being completely honest.
Blaine looked down as Kurt spoke, feeling absolutely terrible that he hadn’t been being what Kurt needed, which was someone to fight for/with him against Jesse. He wasn’t quite sure what to say, but he nodded and looked back up at Kurt when he finished talking. “Okay. I’ll fight. I’m so sorry I haven’t been doing that…. but I’ll start.”
“As long as you do because if you don’t then i don’t know, i won’t know if you’re completely and fully serious about us. I know you hate fighting and so do i, but if you fight it’ll help and we won’t get hurt. I’ll know that you’re fully serious because if you don’t fight, you’re playing into his hands, you’re making it seem, to him, like you could go to him.” Kurt’s heart was broken with everything that he was saying, his eyes getting teary. “I’m not saying you will, i know you won’t go to him. I know you love me, i know you want to marry me and spend your life with me. I don’t really know what i’m saying. I know this is hurting what i’m saying but it needs to be said, we need to fight, we’ll be free of him if we both fight. He’ll have to understand that you don’t want him, i’ve done so much to protect you, Finn and Rachel but i can only do so much. I don’t want to get hurt anymore and this is hurting so much to say it and i’m sorry that its hurting you.”
Blaine thought he could literally feel his heart breaking when Kurt said he wouldn’t know if he was completely serious about them. He shut his eyes and bit his lip as Kurt spoke, nodding at the right places and trying his best not to cry. He rolled off of Kurt so that he was sitting on the bed with his head in his hands, trying to think. Kurt thought he wasn’t serious about them? Blaine bit his lip again and shut his eyes tighter, glad that his face was covered by his hands so Kurt couldn’t see. “Kurt… I’m so sorry…. I know now that you need me to fight. And I will. I’ve been some protector haven’t I … not even in the slightest. All I do is just take care of you, how would that be protecting… I’ll start to fight. We both need me to if we’re ever going to get rid of him. I’ll fight.”
When Blaine rolled off of him Kurt was terrified, terrified that Blaine was going to walk out. He was so relieved when he saw him sit on the bed, the look Blaine had on his face when Kurt spoke to him, just crushed him. He didn’t mean to sound so mean he just had to tell him. Kurt figured that these thoughts are what triggered his nightmare, that tiny thought of Blaine leaving him for Jesse because he didn’t fight and gave Jesse hope. He sat up, the tears from his eyes now streaming down his face, he couldn’t say how bad he was feeling. He felt so incredibly bad seeing what his words had done, he was scared that Blaine was angry with him or upset with him. Kurt pulled his knees into his chest and hugged his legs, quickly releasing them when images of his nightmare came back, since he had been in that position while the people walked past and spoke to him. Kurt had spent their whole relationship fighting and getting hurt physically as well as emotionally. He knew that Blaine was sorry and that he loved him, he also knew he was serious about them otherwise he wouldn’t have proposed. Like he said he didn’t really know what he was saying. “And i’m grateful you’ve been there to take care of me, i’ll always need that, i’m here to take care of you too. The whole thing triggered the nightmare, its everything. Its how Jesse pictures it if you don’t fight. And i cannot even begin to describe how bad i feel right now, i’m not going to make you fight but it would mean everything to me if you did. I just want this whole Jesse thing to be over, and… i’m… i’m so sorry… i never wanted to make you feel like this. I’m so sorry.” The tears were now heavier and more streamed down his face, he looked at his hands completely hating himself for breaking Blaine’s heart. He would completely understand if Blaine wanted him to go, he just hoped that he wouldn’t ask him to.
“But you have people who take care of you, you don’t need that from me as much as you need other things. What you need from me is for me to protect you, which I sure as hell haven’t been doing….” Blaine said shakily, not able to contain his tears any longer. “I have to fight though, I have to. I have to if it will get him to stop, and I have to if it would mean everything to you. I can’t just be a bump on a log anymore, I actually have to do something if I ever want to help. I want this to be over too, so much…” Blaine trailed off as Kurt started to apologize, which made him look up from his hands and look at Kurt, feeling even worse when he saw the tears on his face. “Hey, listen to me. You don’t have to be sorry, it’s something I needed to know. We’re always honest with each other, right? And if you hadn’t had told me this, I wouldn’t have known what you needed from me. I know now. Please don’t be sorry, nothing is your fault.” Blaine raised his hands up to Kurt’s cheeks and wiped away the rapidly falling tears, desperately wishing he could get them to stop.
“I just didn’t want to hurt you, i know it needed to be said but i just didn’t want to hurt you. Its the last thing i wanted.” Seeing the tears in Blaine’s eyes only made him cry more, he felt even worse seeing them. He did feel like this was his fault, a lot of the things that had caused upset was his fault. They had had the most amazing day the previous day and apart from the nightmare and Blaine falling asleep on their date, it was still amazing and it was all the way up until now. Kurt felt like he always ruined it, it was always his fault and it usually happened after KST or when something good happened. Kurt was just overwhelmed with guilt and upset, he folded his arms around his legs, hugging them, his knees were still pressed against his chest. He looked down at his knees and leaned his head against them. “I’ll understand if you want me to go, if you need a minute or more, or if you just want me to leave.”
