“Oh shut up!” He laughed when Blaine asked him if someone fell down. He took the hand that was offered to him and got up taking the thingy from Blaine. “You ready?”
“Not at all.” Blaine said laughing and squatting down next to the mat. “But it’s now or never, right?” He looked up at Kurt, waiting for his first turn. He knew he was going to be terrible, but he might as well try it for laughs.
“You’ll be fine.” Kurt spun the thingy. “Left foot yellow.”
Blaine stood up, following Kurt’s instructions. “Easy enough.” He said with a shrug. “Let’s do this. I’m ready.” He rubbed his hands on his pants, waiting for Kurt to spin the thingy again.
Kurt spun the thingy again. “Right hand green.”
Blaine looked down at the mat, trying to figure out the best way to do this. He finally decided and bent over backwards so his stomach was in the air, his shirt exposing it because of the way he was stretching. “Alright. Eaasy peasy. Go.”
Kurt’s eyebrows raised when he saw Blaine’s stomach, he shook himself back into the game spinning the thingy. “Left hand red.”
Blaine’s arm reached for the red with ease. “This is easier than I thought. Where’s the challenge?” He teased, wishing that he could look up at Kurt, but the way he was positioned was awkward. “Hit me with your best shot, Hummel.”
“You’re on Anderson, left foot blue.” Kurt laughed after spinning the thingy.
Crap, Blaine thought. It just got hard. His foot reached for the blue, trying so hard to keep his balance. One he was good, he let out a long breath he had been holding. “Not that bad.” Blaine almost fell after saying that, but he caught himself.
“Oooh almost.” Kurt smiled as he spun the thingy again. “Right hand yellow”
Oh no… Blaine tried to put his hand on the yellow spot, but he got tangled up and fell onto the ground. He lay there, not wanting to get up. “Well that worked well.” Blaine said, not moving at all.
Kurt laughed at the boy on the floor and went and lay beside him. “That wasn’t bad.” He smiled turning his head to face Blaine.
“Yes it was.” Blaine said, curling up into a ball on the mat. He had his head under his arms and couldn’t see Kurt at all. “You win. King of Twister and Baseball.” He teased, poking his head out from hiding to smile at Kurt.
“Could you be anymore adorable?” Kurt asked. “I told you i win, oh i’m also the king of resisting.” He smiled at the little head poking out.
“Learned that the hard way.” Blaine said, sticking his tongue out at Kurt and uncurling himself. He stood up next to Kurt. “Alrighty then. Do you want to go again or do something else?”
“Hmmm lets play a different game, your choice this time.” He smiled as Blaine uncurled himself, his eyes looked at him in complete adoration.
“Okay.” Blaine flashed Kurt a smile before turning to the games on the bed. His eyes swept across the bed, trying to decide. He held up a box. “Want to play Clue?”
“Sure lets play.” He smiled taking the box from Blaine and putting it on the floor before removing the lid.
“Awesome, but I’m not being a girl.” Blaine looked up as Kurt shot him a confused look, and he laughed. “Every time I play, I’m always a girl. Never a guy. It makes me feel masculineness.” He said, pouting at setting up the game.
“Awwww well i’ll be a girl if it makes you feel better.” He laughed. He helped Blaine set up the game. “Right, who are you going to be?”
“You don’t have to. I’m just not being a girl this time.” Blaine said, picking up one of the pieces. “Colonel Mustard! Could I be him? He’s pretty awesome, and so…… yellow.” Blaine couldn’t think of what to say, so he said yellow. Smooth, Blaine, he thought to himself. Real smooth.
Kurt smiled and shook his head when Blaine described Colonel Mustard as yellow. Kurt closed his eyes and picked randomly, he looked at his piece. “Miss Scarlett, i told you i’d be the girl.” He laughed. “She’s sooo red.” he winked at Blaine.
“Oh shut up.” Blaine said, looking down at his piece. “Of course you’d be Miss Scarlet. She’s the most fabulous one out of them all, not to mention the one that’s supposed to be the most attractive.” He said with a smile and a shrug, looking back up at Kurt. “Not that I ever found her attractive…” He teased, shuffling the cards.
“Oh of course not Blaine.” He laughed putting his piece down. He watched as Blaine shuffled the cards. “Right what do you want me to do?” he asked, he felt pretty useless just sat there.
Blaine finished shuffling the cards and looked up at Kurt. “I just want you to sit there and look adorable. Do you think you could do that for me?” Blaine teased, tapping Kurt’s nose. The set up was already done, so he didn’t know what else Kurt could do. “Since we’re all ready, why don’t you go first?” He said with a smile, handing Kurt the dice.
“Hmm i think i could do that, if i knew how i could.” He smiled taking the dice from Blaine. He shook it and rolled it across the board. “Six.” he said moving his piece six spaces.
“If anyone knew, you would.” Blaine said, watching as Kurt took his turn. He picked up the dice and rolled it across the board towards Kurt. “Three. Not bad, I guess. better than two.” He picked up his piece and moved it. “Mr. Yellow over here is behind.”
“I actually have no idea.” He said watching Blaine move. He rolled the dice so far it went under Blaine’s leg. Blaine returned it and put it down on the board. “oh… one.” he said moving his piece one space. “At least three is better than one.”
“But you’re still ahead.” Blaine said, pointing to the board. He rolled the dice, hitting a four. He moved his piece up, he was now at the same spot as Kurt was. He pushed Kurt’s piece over lightly and set his piece down next to it. “Move over. Colonel Mustard is here too.”
“Not now i’m not.” He said looking at the piece that had been placed on the same spot as Kurt’s. He gave Blaine a glare. “You moved my piece, he didn’t even ask to share.” Kurt rolled a two, now he could go into his first room, he entered the library. “I think it was Professor Plum in the Kitchen with the Rope.” He said looking at Blaine.
Blaine looked down at the deck in his hands. He had all three of the cards, but was only allowed to show Kurt one. He showed Kurt the rope, figuring it was the best. Blaine rolled the dice and rolled a one. “…..this die hates me.” He said, moving his piece up one space.
Kurt marked Rope off his list and turned to Blaine who was taking his turn. “Aww baby it doesn’t hate you, you just don’t have the magic touch like me.” Kurt grinned rolling a six on the dice.
“No, I’m pretty sure it hates me.” Blaine rolled another one, he was so close to finally getting into a room. He looked up at Kurt to see him yawn and rub his eyes. “Is someone sleepy?” Blaine asked, scooting around the board closer to Kurt.
When Kurt yawned and rubbed his eyes he didn't realize that Blaine was watching him. He nodded his head with one hand still on his eye. “Yes i’m sleepy.” He said in his childlike voice completely unaware of how he said it.
”Well then let’s go to bed. I’ll clean this up in the morning.” Blaine stood up, bringing Kurt up with him. He led the sleepy boy to the bed and helped him under the covers before walking over to his side of the bed and getting under them too. He looked over at Kurt and patted his chest, indicating for Kurt to come over there.
Kurt’s hands were taken in Blaine’s as he was helped up, lead to the bed and helped under the covers. “Thank you.” Kurt said as Blaine pulled the covers over him. Kurt slid over to him resting his head on his chest and wrapped an arm around him, he smiled sleepily up at Blaine.
Blaine was awoken by a bright light in his room. He opened his eyes and looked at the clock. 9. He leaned up in bed and stretched, Kurt still laying on him. He smiled and kissed Kurt’s head before lightly taking him off and picking up his phone from the bedside table. He sent a quick text to Reed. “We still on for today?”
Reed text back almost instantly. “Yeah course we are, wow its early. What are you doing up this early? Kurt certainly has rubbed off on you.”
Blaine laughed quietly as to not wake up Kurt. “Define rubbed off. He slept in my arms all night, so I guess he would’ve rubbed off on me at some point :P When do you want me to pick you up? Or would it be easier the other way around?
“Can you two actually get anymore cute? You stayed over his again? You two are literally joined at the hip, i’m surprised he isn’t sick of you :P Pick me up once Kurt has gone home and you’re ready, since you woke me up i might as well get out of bed and get ready anyway.”
”I’m surprised he isn’t sick of me either. I can get pretty dorky and annoying :P I don’t want to wake him up, so I’ll just text you when he wakes up and when I’m about to leave. Kay?” Blaine locked his phone and looked down at Kurt, smiling.
“Sure thing, i’ll see you later. Say hi to Kurt for me when he wakes ;P” Reed replied.
Kurt somehow in his sleep managed to find Blaine again and hugged his arm tight. A few minutes later he awoke. He looked up at Blaine. “Good morning gorgeous.” he smiled, he moved over resuming the position he was in before Blaine had moved him.
Blaine put his phone down before feeling Kurt hold onto his arm. He smiled and wrapped his other arm around Kurt, watching him as he slept. Blaine grinned when Kurt woke up, he got to see those eyes. “Good morning. How did you sleep?” He asked, kissing Kurt on the forehead
“I slept very well thank you, what about you?” Kurt asked smiling at him hugging him tight.
”I slept amazing, especially with this big stuffed animal here to snuggle with.” Blaine teased, nuzzling his nose into Kurt’s hair. “Did you have any interesting dreams?” He asked, resting his cheek on Kurt’s hair, messed up from sleep.
“A big stuffed animal? Thats a new one.” He laughed. “I did, you were in it. We got married in it, it was amazing. Did you have any interesting dreams?”
Blaine smiled when Kurt mentioned his dream. He had dreamt about Vermont, each dream a different scenario to how he was going to… but none were right. He had that planned out already. “Nah, I don’t remember them. Your dream sounds awesome though.” Blaine smiled and gave Kurt a squeeze. “I have to go run my errand soon, but I don’t want to let go of you. Oh, Reed says hi.”
“My dream was amazing i loved it, it was so much better than awesome. Everyone seems to be talking about us getting married lately, Reed, the twins, the rest of the Warblers, us” He smiled up at Blaine squeezing him back, when Blaine said he had to go soon Kurt put on a sad face. “I don’t want you to let go of me either, don’t goooo stay with me. Hi Reed. Don’t gooo.”
“That’s because everyone wants it to happen.” Blaine said, smiling and snuggling closer to Kurt. He looked down at Kurt’s sad face. “Aww, don’t be sad. I don’t wanna go either.” Snuggling closer. “But if I don’t we will never be able to go to Vermont. And I know you want that.”
Kurt hugged Blaine tight when he was pulled in for a closer snuggle. “I suppose not, i do really want to go to Vermont.” He smiled up at Blaine kissing his chin as he couldn’t reach his lips.
“Then you’ll let me up?” Blaine said, turning his cheek so Kurt could reach his lips. He smiled down at him and laughed. Blaine scooted over, pretending he was getting out of bed right then and there. He felt Kurt pull him back down and hold on to him, and he laughed.
“No i’m not going to let you up!” Kurt said pulling Blaine back and holding him. “Why can’t i go with you?”
Blaine hesitated. He didn’t know how to tell Kurt he couldn’t go because he and Reed were buying a ring… “Because you, mister, need to go home and pack. Who knows how long that will take you.” Blaine said with a laugh, giving Kurt a small kiss.
“Yeah you’re right, I’ll be there a while.” He returned the kiss, most curious as to why this errand needed Reed and not him. “How long will you be?”
“It won’t take that long. And as soon as I’m done I’ll come help you pack. Unless you want all of your outfits to be a surprise.” Blaine said with a smile. He sat up, Kurt still leaning against him, and rested their heads together. “It’ll take an hour or so. Maybe more.”
“You can help me if I’m not done by the time you get back.” Kurt smiled as their heads remained rested against each other. “I guess i can live without you for an hour, at least you have the company of Reed i shall either be alone or with oldies.”
“It won’t be that bad. I can text you while I’m gone so you’re not all alone.” Blaine knew he had to get up if he ever wanted to get that ring. He smiled down and Kurt and slipped out of his grasp and onto the bed. He picked up his phone, texting Reed that Kurt was awake, and walked over to his dresser to look for something to wear.
“That makes me feel better.” He smiled, then he glared at Blaine who slipped away. He watched Blaine text, he assumed it was Reed. “So what are you going to wear today?”
“I… don’t know.” Blaine said, looking through his clothes. He leaned on the dresser and turned to face Kurt. “Wanna help me?” Blaine asked putting on a pout. “It’s hard picking out stuff.”“
Kurt smiled and rolled his eyes. “Fine I’ll help you, if i don’t you’ll only beg and then put on that adorable puppy face that i can never resist.” He grinned referring to the previous night. He slid off the bed and went to join Blaine by the dresser.
“… don’t remind me. The tide turned and it turned into me resisting you.” Blaine said, sticking out his tongue. “And I didn’t use my puppy face, which I should’ve.” He teased as Kurt stood by him at the dresser. “Right. Go ahead, pick whatever you want me to wear. I won’t complain.”
“You should have, if you did i would have caved.” He grinned. He looked through Blaine’s drawers and pulled out an outfit. “That should do, i think.” He smiled giving them to him.
Blaine looked down at the shirt in Kurt’s hands and laughed to himself. “You want me to wear my transformers shirt?” Blaine said, holding it up and grinning. “The pink one was always my favorite.” He teased, taking off his pajama shirt.
“Why not wear it? After all you have managed to get me to wear a dinosaur shirt and you did walk around yesterday in nothing but buzz lightyear boxers” Kurt took the shirt from Blaine and folded it up.
“True.” Blaine said, slipping the shirt over his head and smoothing it out. He took the pair of jeans that Kurt had picked out and set them on the dresser. He took off his pajama bottoms and looked up at Kurt with a smile. “Look. No more Buzz Light-year.” Blaine said, pointing to his new pair of boxers.
Kurt admired what he was seeing. “Nope no more, i do like these ones also” he smiled down at the boxers. “Boxer Boy has good taste in boxers.” He teased.
“I do, it’s true.” Blaine said with a smile as he picked up the jeans and put them on over the boxers. He closed the dresser drawers and walked over to where his shoes were, sitting down on the floor and putting them on. “Hey, could you hand me my phone? I need to text Reed that I’ll be over to pick him up in a second.”
Kurt walked over to where Blaine’s phone was and picked it up, he handed it to Blaine. “What time are you picking him up?”
Blaine looked back up at Kurt and shrugged. “Whenever you’re home. We haven’t worked out a time, he just said to come pick him up after you are safe and sound back home.” Blaine said, standing back up. He faced Kurt and smiled. His phone had a message and he looked down at it, laughing. “He’s awake? Good. Tell him he needs to let me borrow his man for a few hours.”
Kurt looked as Blaine laughed at a text from Reed, he smiled before turning to his bag. “I guess i’ll get changed too.” He said, Blaine turned to leave to give him privacy when Kurt stopped him. “You might as well stay, i mean i’ve seen you in your boxers loads and you’ve seen me shirtless, so i guess it won’t hurt.” he smiled.
Blaine looked up at Kurt, surprised. “You sure?” He asked, and Kurt nodded. Blaine shrugged and smiled, looking around the room. He noticed their game from last night was still sprawled out on the floor. They had forgotten to clean it up. “I’ll pick this up while you get changed.” Blaine said, walking over to the game and sitting down next to it. He wasn’t just about to watch his boyfriend change, especially when he knew how insecure he was about that.
Kurt pulled up the shirt he was wearing over his head, he held it out taking a last look at it before folding it up. He looked down at the sweats, he hesitated before quickly removing them. Now he was standing there in just his boxers, he unfolded his skinny jeans and put them on. He folded the sweats and taking the already folded shirt the placed them neatly already on the end of Blaine’s bed.
