Blaine looked at the spot on Kurt’s head. It looked like it hurt. “Can I push a little bit of your hair to the side so I can see it better? Just tell me if it hurts, okay?” Blaine raised the hand Kurt released to Kurt’s head, not touching it until he had permission from Kurt.
“Okay.” Kurt nodded; he was prepared for it to hurt. Luckily he still had hold of one of Blaine’s hands so if it did he could squeeze that.
Blaine very, very lightly moved the hair on Kurt’s head over the bump to the side. Kurt squeezed his hand, but not very hard. “How much did that hurt?” Blaine said, now looking down at the damage that had been done to Kurt’s beautiful head.
“A bit not as much as i thought it would.” Kurt squeezed on his hand. “How bad does it look? Honestly on a scale of one to ten.”
Blaine looked down at it, evaluating how bad it looked. “Five.” He said after a minute of looking at it. It wasn’t as bad as he thought it would be. “Yeah, five. It probably feels a lot worse than it looks.” Blaine hesitated before leaning down and just barely touching his lips to the spot.
“It feels like someone’s trying to push an egg through my skull, not nice.” Kurt felt a pair of lips touch the spot, he quietly winced and held Blaine’s hand. His head was comfortable on Blaine’s chest, even more now that the ice pack had been moved.
“That doesn’t sound pleasant.” Blaine said with a laugh as Kurt held his hand. The ice pack was still on Kurt’s chest, and it was melting at a faster pace. Blaine’s free hand took it off of Kurt’s chest and held it up. “Do you still want this under your head?” He asked, pointing to where Kurt’s head lay on Blaine’s chest.
“Its not really.” Kurt watched Blaine pick up the ice pack, he shook his head gently. “No your chest feels so much better than that.” he smiled up at him.
“I’m glad my chest is so comfortable.” Blaine said with a laugh as Kurt smiled up at him. Kurt was no longer crying and now had begun smiling again, which made Blaine light up. He was feeling less and less guilty, knowing that he couldn’t have controlled what happened.
“It is, its like a pillow.” Still looking up at Blaine, Kurt made him himself more comfortable on Blaine’s chest, taking hold of both Blaine’s hands like he had before. “I’m sorry i’m so clumsy.”
“My chest is like a pillow? Are you saying I’m fluffy?” Blaine teased, patting his chest where Kurt wasn’t laying. “I feel no fluff.” He laughed and looked down at Kurt. “Don’t be sorry. You have nothing to apologize for.” Blaine said, his thumb stroking the top of one of Kurt’s hands as Kurt got comfortable. His other hand brought Kurt’s other hand up to his lips and he gave it a kiss before letting it fall back down.
“Your chest hair makes it so pillow like.” Kurt laughed. He felt one of his hands be stroked by Blaine’s hand and the other brought up to Blaine’s lips. “What about these?” Kurt laughed asking for a kiss, he puckered his lips.
“What about those?” Blaine teased, sticking his tongue out at Kurt. He watched as Kurt puckered his lips and he laughed. “Try to be more cute, I dare you.” Blaine said, leaning in and giving Kurt what he wanted.
“I can’t try it just comes naturally.” Kurt laughed. He was happy when he got his kiss, he kissed him back. When Blaine pulled away, Kurt poked his tongue out at him in return for the one that was given to him.
“Better?” Blaine asked, laughing, as he pulled away from the kiss. Kurt was looking like he was in less pain, which was an improvement.
Kurt nodded his head. “Much thank you” he smiled into Blaine’s eyes. “I never did ask you, what did the Warblers say when you told them we were going away together?” he asked randomly.
“What did they say? They sat me down and gave me the sex talk. It was such a wonderful experience, especially coming from Ethan and Evan.” Blaine admitted with a laugh and a shiver at the memory
“I would love to say that i wished i was there to see that, but i don’t. I’m so glad i wasn’t there, what did they say? How bad?” Kurt squeezed on his hands.
“I didn’t let them get into it. I ran out of the room.” Blaine said with a shrug. “The tweedles. They’re so completely insane. But they do make us laugh.” Blaine said with a laugh, his arms wrapped around Kurt giving him a squeeze.
“Awwww poor baby.” Kurt laughed. “They are completely insane, they’ve kidnapped both of us, how many times now?” he laughed, he felt his hands release from Blaine’s who wrapped his arms around him, squeezing him. Kurt looked up at Blaine and smiled lovingly.
“No idea. Can you believe they’ve toned down since you came?” Blaine said with a laugh, his hands grabbing Kurt’s again while his arms we’re around him. “How’s the noggin? Do you remember anything more about today?”
“No i really can’t believe that, they just needed authority i guess” Kurt smiled holding Blaine’s hands. “The noggin’? Oh! My head, yeah it still hurts.” He thought for a minute. “Did you wake me up and then we talked about kids and dreams? Or did i dream that?”
“Does it hurt more or less than before?” Blaine asked, giving Kurt’s hand a squeeze and looking down at the bump on his head. “No, the kids thing happened.” Blaine said, breathing a heavy sigh of relief. “I was worried that you were going to forget about Andrew and Elizabeth for a second there….”
“Better than when i first hit it, about the same since the last time you asked.” Kurt said. “Andrew and Elizabeth… is that what we named them?”
“That’s good, I guess.” Blaine’s heart sank a little when Kurt didn’t fully remember Andrew and Elizabeth. “Yeah. Andrew’s our son, who apparently looks like me. Curls and everything, according to a dream of yours. You got to name him, and you named him after Andrew Lloyd Webber. And Elizabeth is our daughter who looks like you. Same blue eyes and shade of hair according to one of my dreams. And I got to name her, and I named her after your mom.”
“Andrew sounds like a cutie, like his daddy” Kurt laughed. Typical of him to name his child after a musical composer. “You named her after my mom? Thats really sweet. So Andrew is you and Elizabeth is me? Makes sense i guess.” Kurt really wished he could remember their conversation right now, he was racking his brain trying to think.
“I wouldn’t know if Andrew was a cutie. You dreamed him up them told me about him. I dreamed up Elizabeth.” Blaine pulled Kurt a bit more onto his lap so he wouldn’t fall off soon. “Yeah, I named her after your mom. I couldn’t think of anyone more amazing than your mom for our girl to be named after.” He gave both of Kurt’s hands a squeeze.
“So i dreamed up mini you and you dreamed mini me?” Kurt said, he felt himself being pulled more onto Blaine’s lap. He smiled widely as Blaine said how amazing his mom was. “You could have named her anything you wanted, but you chose to name her after my mom. You’re just the sweetest thing ever.”
”I guess.” Blaine said with a laugh, his arms wrapping around Kurt more and giving him a hug. “Of course I chose to name her after your mom. I know how much she meant to you. I wouldn’t want to name her anything else.” Blaine smiled, his hug loosening to give Kurt some air. “What should we have our children’s’ middle names be?”
Kurt smiled as the arms around him hugged him tight. “I love you.” he smiled wider as Blaine went on about Kurt’s mum. he felt the arms around him loosen around him but he pulled them back in. “Hmm i don’t know, what name is special to you?”
”I love you too.” Blaine said as Kurt pulled his arms back, silently asking for him to keep hugging him tightly. He did so as he thought of names. “I’m not sure…. besides ‘Kurt’, I can’t think of any names of important men in my life. So I couldn’t really help with Andrew’s middle name….” Blaine thought for a name for either Andrew or Elizabeth.
Kurt blushed and bit his lip when Blaine said besides ‘Kurt’ he couldn’t think of any other important men in his life. “I don’t think i could choose a middle name for him either, since Blaine is taken and i couldn’t possibly torture a child by giving him the name Burt, even if it is a middle name.” he laughed holding Blaine’s hands tightly. “What about your mom, what’s her name?”
“Meredith. But I don’t want our girl to be Elizabeth Meredith Anderson. It just doesn’t flow like I want it to…..” Blaine sat for a moment with Kurt lying against his chest, the two of them thinking of names.
“No it doesn’t, who knew that picking names was so hard” Kurt nestled his head closer into Blaine’s chest. The two were sat in silence for a few minutes trying to think of something. “I got nothing, what about you?”
“I kinda like the idea of Andrew Elliot Anderson. Elliot was always a name I liked. But I didn’t know if you would like it.” Blaine said after a few minutes of thinking.
“I like that, so we’ve settled on Andrew’s name” Kurt smiled up at him. “I like that name a lot, Andrew Elliot Anderson. Now what about Elizabeth?”
Blaine smiled when Kurt liked his idea. “Elizabeth is harder, because so many names sound amazing with it. Elizabeth Jane, Elizabeth Ann, Elizabeth….” Blaine thought for a little bit, hoping for some suggestions from Kurt.
“Elizabeth Paige,Elizabeth Rose,Elizabeth Grace.” Kurt adding some suggestions. “its so hard, why does Elizabeth have to sound so amazing with every name put to it?” he laughed.
“I know, and they all seem to have one syllable.” Blaine laughed and snuggled Kurt closer, trying not to hurt his head. “I personally like Elizabeth Paige, Elizabeth Rose, and Elizabeth Jane…. maybe Elizabeth Ann.”
“I like them all, ” Kurt said with a laugh. “all this thinking is making my head hurt.”
“Then stop thinking. I don’t want your head to hurt more.” Blaine said, looking down at Kurt with caring eyes. “I’ll think of the names and we’ll come back to it.” He smiled and gave his hands a squeeze.
“You’re too good for me you know that.” Kurt smiled up at him. “Once i remember everything i’ll have a think myself, god i wish i could remember.” he squeezed Blaine’s hands back.
“I’m nowhere near too good for you.” Blaine said with a smile. “You’ll remember soon, don’t worry. You remembered that we talked about them, which is an improvement. I was worried you would forget about Andrew and Elizabeth.”
“I remembered we talked about kids, i didn’t know what it was we said. I did forget about them but then talking about them just now brought it back, i remember the dream now. He read Harry Potter to us didn’t he?”
Blaine grinned. “Yeah, you said he did. You said it was adorable, but I wouldn’t know because it was your dream. My dream was Elizabeth. And she was jumping on the bed trying to wake us up.” Blaine laughed, his thumb stroking the top of Kurt’s hand
“That sounds really cute, you said it was you that she was trying to wake up and i said you’ll be up in a minute.” Kurt remembered. “Afterwards we talked about our name didn’t we? I said i was changing mine to yours, is that right?”
“You said that’s how you wanted it to be because Blaine Hummel doesn’t sound as good as Kurt Anderson. I kept saying you didn’t have to change for me,” Blaine said looking down at him. “Which you don’t, but you stuck to it and convinced me.” Blaine laughed, tightening his grip for a few seconds into a hug.
Kurt hugged him back “I’m glad i convinced you because there is no way i’m backing down.” he laughed. “I want to be Kurt Anderson and i want our children to be Elizabeth and Andrew Anderson, its just perfect.” Kurt was happy that he was beginning to remember things. “Anderson Island”
“It is perfect.” Blaine said through a smile. He couldn’t be happier with their plans. “Anderson Island.” Blaine laughed before telling Kurt how that came up. “I asked where you wanted to live, and you said a remote island with just you, me, and the kids.”
“I said that? I guess it does sound like something i’d come out with. I still want that by the way, we just need to figure out how to get to this island.” Kurt brought one of Blaine’s hands to his lips and he kissed it, holding it there.
“You don’t want to be able to see all the people you love? Because a remote island makes that pretty hard.” Blaine said as Kurt kissed his hand. His hand was being held up by Kurt’s, still hovering over his lips. Tease. Blaine lightly moved his hand back to Kurt’s lips, asking for another kiss.
Kurt knew exactly what Blaine was asking when he moved his hand to Kurt’s lips, he kissed it again and smiled. “Fine if we can’t live on a remote island where can we live?”
“That’s what I would like you to tell me.” Blaine said with a laugh as Kurt kissed his hand again. He moved his hand back down into Kurt’s lap and intertwined it more with Kurt’s, giving it a squeeze as he did. “Like I asked before, would you rather live in a big city or a small town or somewhere the size of Lima? I’m good with anywhere as long as you’re there with me.”
“I would like to get away from Lima, i’m not going to get anywhere here” Kurt thought for a minute. “I like a big city because well theres Broadway and good designer stores there but then what if its too big. Just like you said i’d live anywhere as long as you’re with me by my side”
“A city, that’s what I want too.” Blaine snuggled Kurt closer to him chest and smiled. “Well, what cities would you say are too big? Because some cities are big with everything spaced out and some are more compressed, if you know what I mean. And I’ll always be by your side, no matter what.”
“Hmmm I don’t really know i haven’t been to many cities.” Kurt shrugged as he was snuggled closer into Blaine’s chest, he smiled up at him. “They’ll have to prise us away from each other because i’m always be there with you, no matter what.”
“We’re going to New York soon, so you’ll get a taste of big cities when we go there. But keep in mind not all big cities are like New York.” Blaine laughed when Kurt said the second part. “They’ll never be able to pry me away from you, so even trying would become an epic failure.”
“Why can’t it be sooner?” Kurt asked regarding New York. He laughed at what Blaine said next. “It would be an epic fail because i’m never letting go.” he squeezed Blaine’s hands and smiled wider.
“Because there’s this stupid deal of us still being in high school. I wish we were older, because if we were out of school I’d be marrying you this second.” Blaine kissed the top of Kurt’s head, away from the bump. “Please don’t.” He said, smiling into Kurt’s hair before he pulled away so he didn’t hurt him.
“I wish we were older too, so we could marry right now and then stay here and not have to worry about school or anything like that.” Kurt smiled as he felt Blaine kiss his head. “Don’t worry i’m never going to.”
“That’s one of my biggest wishes. That we were older. Before this trip, my biggest wish was for us to be engaged, and for you to say yes if I asked.” Blaine moved the hand that was wrapped up in Kurt’s and rested it on his shoulder. “I hope you don’t. I would hate it if you did.”
“Its my biggest wish too, we’re soul mates you and me, same wishes and dreams, we can talk to each other without saying anything.” Kurt gave Blaine a loving smile, his eyes read the same thing. “And i would hate it if i did, so its a good thing that i’m never letting go, its just down to you to make sure you don’t.”
“It’s fate. There’s no other way to explain it.” Blaine looked down at Kurt, their eyes meeting and never leaving.”You were saying how we can talk without saying anything……That reminds me of a song I know.” Blaine said, grinning down at Kurt.”I’ll show you later. And do you really think I’d let go?”
“You’ll show me? Does that mean you’re going to play it?” Kurt asked excited, he loved Blaine playing and singing on the guitar or the ukulele. “You might… if you saw something Harry Potter related.” Kurt teased.
“Only if you want me to. My guitar has gone unplayed this entire trip, if I may add. It must miss me.” Blaine smiled as Kurt looked excited. “Or if someone was handing out free ice cream or something. But don’t worry, I’d come right back. And maybe, if you’re lucky, I’d bring you back some.” Blaine teased back, grinning.
“I bet it misses you and i do want you too. This entire trip? We’ve only been here two days, its not that long.” Kurt laughed. “You better bring me some back or i’m hiding your guitar as well as your shirts.”
“Then I’ll play it later. Just for you.” Blaine said with a smile and rolled his eyes when Kurt pointed out it had only been two days. “Oh you know what I mean. And I can understand why you would want to hide all my shirts, but my guitar? You love it when I play my guitar that would be bad on both of our parts.”
“Well there’s no one else here to play it for.” Kurt grinned. “I’d only hide it until you get me ice cream… and toast.” He laughed.
“Yeah there is. I didn’t tell you? This house is haunted. I play for the ghosts so they won’t haunt us.” Blaine teased, giving Kurt’s cheek a small peck. “I’ll have to make you toast since you don’t remember how good of a cook I am.”
“Ooooh haunted, you say. Well i don’t like ghosts so i’ll have hide so they won’t get me when you’re not playing” he giggled. “I can only imagine how good of a cook you are, i’m surprised you still have a kitchen”
“Awwwww, don’t be scared. Don’t hide, I’ll protect you.” Blaine said, pulling Kurt closer to him and wrapping his arms around him more. “I know. Its a miracle. Thank god you said you’re going to teach me later tonight.”
Kurt held onto Blaine. “My knight in shining armour, here to protect me.” he laughed. “You need to decide on what you want to make, i can make almost anything.”
“Yep. That’s me.” Blaine said with a laugh. “Hmmmmmmmmm…… since I love italian food, let’s make something italian. Yum.”
“I think we can manage that, Italian food is delicious, like warm milk.” Kurt laughed. “Right what italian food shall we make?”
“We already made lasagna…. we could make pizza. That would be fun. Or something more traditionally Italian, like fettuccini alfredo with chicken.” Blaine said after thinking for a minute. “Can you help me make one of those?”
“Of course I can help, I’ll help you with anything. We’ll make the other one tomorrow, sound good?”
“Thanks. What would I do without you?” Blaine snuggled Kurt closer to him and squeezed both of his hands. “Seriously. Me cooking dinner all by my self would be as much of a disaster as Wes trying to throw a fashion show with Ethan and Evan as his models.”
“Probably a lot more than you could do with me” Kurt laughed as he was snuggled closer to him, he squeezed Blaine’s hands back. “That i would love to see, they have terrible fashion sense and the twins, well if Wes was going to throw one good luck to him in trying to get the twins to wear what he picks out for them”
“There is no way I could do more without you than I could with you.” Blaine said with a smile. “That would be horrible….. but trust me. The twins will do anything for a laugh, including wearing Wes’s fashion choices and acting like models.”
“I don’t think i could watch if they did do a fashion show, the sight would be too awful. I’d be fidgeting in my seat desperate to fix what they’re wearing.” Kurt shuddered at the thought. “If the Warblers ever hold a fashion show and Reed, you or myself aren’t in charge please keep me away.”
“You poor thing. You’d be going absolutely crazy if you couldn’t fix their fashion blunders.” Blaine chuckled when he felt Kurt shudder in his arms. “That’s a promise. But I doubt that we would even think about putting on a fashion show in the first place, so don’t worry. How’s the head?” Blaine asked, looking down at where Kurt hit his head.
“Well thats good then, me and Reed we’d have to run away if they did. Oh god the thought of it. My head? Well its still attached to my neck.” He laughed.
“I meant how’s your head feeling better in any way.” Blaine asked Kurt caringly. “I don’t want you to be in pain for much longer.”
“Still hurts like mad, better than before but still hurts.” Kurt looked up at Blaine. “I can remember all last night now.”
“I hope it gets better soon. Seeing you in pain hurts me inside.” Blaine said as Kurt looked up at him. “You do? I’m glad that your memory is coming back…… What else are you remembering about last night?”
Kurt felt bad after hearing that, after all it was his own clumsy fault that he hit his head. “It will don’t worry, i’m not going to die so you can stop worrying.” He thought for a second. “You thought i was mad at you when you told me you were getting close to Puck, we talked about the whole Jesse and Luke thing, and then you teased me when i said you were amazing and you pretended like you didn’t know what i was on about and then we talked about doing it again soon and properly.”
“I hope so. I need my Kurt betterrrrrrr.” Blaine said with a laugh, listening to what Kurt remembered. “Yeah, I remember all of that too. Do you still feel the same about all of that stuff?”
“Yeah i do, i don’t know what was wrong with me this morning, i guess it was just a bit soon after last night. I really do feel the same way, just not so soon.” Kurt smiled stroking Blaine’s hands with his thumbs.
“Nothing is wrong with you. I understand.” Blaine said with a reassuring smile. “Do you remember anything else? I’m hoping that with everything you remember your noggin gets better.” Blaine planted a kiss on Kurt’s head, away from the bump.
“No, i’m really trying to remember. I can remember everything from last night i just don’t remember this morning and i hate it, i wish i could. Its horrible not being able to remember, you’re lucky.”
Blaine smiled as Kurt spoke. He wished that Kurt wouldn’t remember the bad part of the morning. “I guess. What do you want to do? Unless you want to just sit here all night.” Blaine teased, saying what he said every time they snuggled.
“You know my answer already to that one.” Kurt laughed. “Wait what time is it?”
“Almost noon.” Blaine said after looking over at the clock. “So what will it be, mister? Doing something or sit here, wrapped up in each other, all day?”
“I like the second option, wrapped up in each other. Its one of my favorite things and it doesn’t involve moving.” He laughed looking up at Blaine, he wriggled himself so he moved up Blaine’s chest so his head rested at the top of his chest, he leaned up and kissed his cheek.
Blaine adjusted himself when Kurt moved up his chest so Kurt would be more comfortable. His arms wrapped around Kurt once he had fixed himself, and he smiled when he felt a kiss on the cheek. Blaine turned his head so Kurt would miss his cheek and hit his lips for a soft kiss.
Kurt smiled as he hit Blaine’s lips; he didn’t pull away for a bit. When he did he smiled, he gave Blaine’s nose a kiss before snuggling back down onto his chest his hands resting on the arms wrapped around him.
