"Ooh cold!" Kurt blurted out, rubbing his hands up and down his arms to heat himself up.

They just arrived in the Colorado Mountains and it was cold, considering it was dawn and the sun is just rising up. So cold that when Kurt got out of the van, his skin became impossibly paler and his nose had instantly reddened. "The Gang", as Rachel called them, were donning jackets and earmuffs like when they were little kids.

Blaine laughed as he saw Kurt visibly shiver from the cold; no one was even paying any attention to his boyfriend. Mike and Tina immediately got into a snowball fight with Sam and Alex while Wes was coaxed into taking tons of pictures of Rachel with the Colorado Mountains as her backdrop.

Blaine shook his head, walked behind Kurt and wrapped his arms around him. He hooked his chin over Kurt's shoulder, his breath lightly ghosting on Kurt's neck. He could feel Kurt's smile as the man tilted his head towards Blaine's head. Kurt held Blaine's arm and sighed contentedly.

"Ah, never mind. I take it back." Kurt giggled, trying to nuzzle his nose in Blaine's hair but only getting a noseful of cold, gelled hair. "Why…" Kurt groaned.

"Why?" Blaine pried, confused.

"Why would you wear gel at this time?" Kurt pouted. "I only wanted to nuzzle my nose in your soft, curly hair. Is that too much to ask?" He continued.

Blaine rolled his eyes in reply. "Quit being a drama queen." He chuckled. Blaine heard a little 'hmph' from Kurt which made him laugh some more. "Alright fine, I'll remove it later when we go skiing." He promised.

Kurt positively beamed, wiggling around as he turned to face Blaine and really hug him. Blaine laughed, it was so easy to make Kurt happy.

"Come on guys!" Rachel called out excitedly as she led everyone inside the cabin.


 

The cabin was huge. It had a living room with a fireplace, a dining room, kitchen and 4 double rooms with a king-sized bed that 2 people can share which were perfect for their group. The rooms also had its own bathroom and everything necessary for the survival of rich people.

The only problem now was who's rooming with who. It was alright for the three couples in the room but what with Rachel and Wes who weren't a couple, it becomes a little problematic.

"Maybe Wes can sleep on the couch?" Mike suggested, laughing at the horrified look on Wes' face.

"Do you know how cold it gets here at night?" Wes pointed out. He doesn't really want to wake up feeling stoned. A different kind of stoned.

"You can get the fire going all night." Sam helped out. These boys really would do anything just so they won't lose their girlfriends in exchange of Wesley.

"I can stay with Wes." Blaine offered, raising his hand like he was in a classroom.

"YES! MY TRUE BEST FRIEND SPEAKS!" Wes screamed out.

However, Blaine earned a hard nudge from his boyfriend who was standing next to him, giving him his most deadly glare. Blaine gave Kurt an apologetic look. "I…uhm." Blaine stumbled through his words.

"Rachel!" Kurt huffed, directing his glare at Rachel who was standing next to an amused Alex. There is no way Kurt is going to room with any of these people with his boyfriend in the same roof.

Everyone looked at Rachel, she had the final decision anyway. She glanced at everyone, stared longer at Wes and sighed.

"Fine. Wes you're rooming with me." Rachel finally said. "These guys really just—" But her sentence was cut off when almost everyone cheered in an instant, Alex gave Rachel a light nudge.

"He's an eye-candy, do whatever you please with him. It's about time you try this romance thing after that fling with Brody Weston." Alex whispered with a laugh. Rachel rolled her eyes at Alex.

"Please. He's not a piece of meat." Rachel said. "Come on Wes, we have to set some rules." She said in her most authoritative voice, flipping her hair, laughing.

"Go get her tiger." Mike laughed, pushing Wes towards the hall that leads to their room. The man shook his head and got the bags, he could feel that he's just going to tend to Rachel's needs. And maybe it's not at all that bad.


 

Everyone ignored everyone as they all went to their respective rooms. Blaine and Kurt went to theirs and the first thing Kurt did was to push Blaine to the bathroom, making Blaine stumble a little and almost trip.

"At least try to be gentle." Blaine commented as he straightened up, hands on the wall to balance himself.

"That would be the perfect sentence in an entirely different situation." Kurt bluntly said before he could stop himself. Both men blushed but neither hid away from each other. "Sorry, I just really want you out of that product." Kurt gave Blaine's hair a dirty look. "You need to understand, my nose needs your warmth." He laughed, pushing Blaine again inside the bathroom. "I'll be here when you need me!" Kurt said.

As Blaine was taking his shower, Kurt took this chance to fix their room; unpacking their bags and getting out the important stuff like his moisturizer and other related products. Kurt shed off the coat and the bonnet; it was relatively warm inside the room so it was okay to sit around with only his long-sleeved polo on.

He also had time to tweet.

--

Kurt Hummel @KurtHummel

I hope everyone is enjoying their Christmas week-end. I sure am!

--

He proceeded to checking his phone for any messages from work when Blaine emerged out of the bathroom, looking fresh and curly.

"That is the most refreshing bath I've ever had in my entire life. The bathroom smells like lavender." Blaine said, getting out of the showers, drying his hair. Unfortunately for Kurt, his boyfriend was fully clothed.

"Come here, let's dry your hair." Kurt motioned Blaine towards the dresser but Blaine stopped as he saw Kurt.

The light from the lamp was making it look like Kurt was glowing. Or maybe it was just because Blaine always sees Kurt as a sparkling human being but the light really does wonders to Kurt's skin. It was beautiful. Kurt was beautiful.

"Blaine?" He heard Kurt say, breaking through his thoughts.

"I'm sorry. What?" Blaine asked, shaking his head to focus on Kurt. But he really didn't hear Kurt's words as he continued to stare at Kurt's reflection in the mirror. "Kurt, shush, I don't understand a thing that you're saying." Blaine finally admitted.

"Is something wrong?" Kurt's brows furrowed in concern. Blaine shook his head in reply. "Then what is it?" He asked.

"Can I just take a photo of you? Because you look really beautiful right now and I can't feel my heart. Am I still breathing?" Blaine said in a voice so fast that Kurt almost couldn't catch it. But he did and he blushed.

"Anderson, you know your flattery works like magic on me." Kurt laughed. "Alright, one photo." He said.

So Blaine took his phone out and snapped a picture of Kurt. Then in the spur of the moment, he decided to tweet it. It was okay, people knew about them anyway even though Kurt still hasn't admitted anything in public. They weren't trying to hide and even Alex was fine with whatever they want to do.

I'm so going to make this my phone's background picture.

Blaine bit his lip to stop the squeal that was threatening to erupt outside of him.

--

Blaine Anderson @BlaineAnderson

It's Christmas week-end! Have this beautiful photo.

--

Blaine saw Kurt visibly shaking his head as soon as his tweet showed up on his phone.

"You just really love to make the fans go crazy, don't you?" Kurt turned to face Blaine, amused. Blaine nodded, not even trying to deny it.

"It's Christmas anyway, it wouldn't hurt if we tweet stuff like these as Christmas presents." Blaine laughed, walking over to Kurt who was motioning for him to sit down so he could dry his hair.

"My fans are lucky then, you're being a very generous Santa." Kurt smiled, running his hand through Blaine's hair and pointing a blow dryer at it. Blaine couldn't help but sigh; both because of Kurt's hand in his hair and simply because of his hair.

"Can't we just let it dry by itself?" Blaine asked, looking at Kurt warily. Kurt shook his head in reply, continuing what he was doing. "It'll be all over the place, I'm telling you." Blaine told Kurt.

"You'll be wearing a bonnet anyway so it doesn't matter." Kurt pointed out. "And besides, I don't want you to catch a cold." He added.

Blaine let out a little 'awww you're so sweet', earning an eye roll from Kurt though the other man let out a laugh with it too. After a few minutes of drying, the room became quiet again as Kurt turned off the hair dryer, placing it on the side table and wrapping his arms around Blaine's shoulder.

"Can I tell you something?" Kurt said in a low whisper, his lips near Blaine's cheek. Blaine tilted his head a bit to the side, looking at Kurt in the mirror.

"Yeah?"

There was a pause with Kurt just smiling, looking at Blaine. "Your hair looks a little bit noodle-y." He whispered.

Blaine wiggled out of Kurt's grasp, huffing and pouting in the process while the other man just laughed loudly, lightly patting Blaine on the shoulder. Kurt's laughter just got louder when Blaine stood up, arms crossed over his chest, raising an eyebrow at Kurt. So Blaine did the only thing he could think about.

Tackle Kurt.

"Ahhh!" Kurt screeched, closing his eyes tightly as they both toppled onto the mattress. "Blaine Anderson, this is not funn—ah!—hahahahaha"

Blaine had proceeded to tickling Kurt and the other man kept trying to squirm out of Blaine's tickle attack.

"How dare you make fun of my fabulous hair." Blaine grinned, not stopping even though Kurt started to hit him square on the chest.

"Alright! I concede!" Kurt panted. "Just…just stop." He practically begged.

Blaine beamed at Kurt. It took a moment for him to realize the position that they were both in; Blaine looking down at Kurt, both of his hands holding him up in place. Hazel eyes met glasz and to an observer, it must've look like they were doing unspeakable things to each other seeing as how Kurt was red and panting heavily.

But before his inner mind got to tell him that he should push himself away, Blaine was already leaning down and grazing his lips over Kurt's. Kurt responded in record time, as if he was ready for this since they arrived. Kurt's hands snaked around Blaine's neck as he slowly sat up so that his back was against the headboard, Blaine's arms wrapped around his waist.

Their moment was broken when three knocks came through the door.

"Wesley Samuels is announcing his presence to the couple inside the room, I would barge in but I'm afraid I'd see you blowing each other so…" The voice faded away.

Kurt laughed as Blaine pulled away; by now, Kurt had learned that he'll be constantly embarrassed in the presence of Blaine's friends as well as his own friends. But Blaine still wasn't used to it, he instantly found Kurt's shoulder and as usual, hid his blushing face behind it.

"You can come in Wes." Blaine said, loud enough for Wes to hear.

Wes bounced into the room in full skiing gear, beaming at Kurt and Blaine. His wiggled his eyebrows suggestively as he took in the way Blaine's arms were wrapped around Kurt and Kurt's arms around Blaine's neck.

"We're leaving soon so if you can just get your horny butts out of this room. I want to get first tracks!" Wes said excitedly as he laughed. Blaine sat up, glaring at Wes and eventually throwing a pillow at him. Wes just dodged it and laughed maniacally, leaving the room.

"As much as I love to kiss you and believe me, I do—" Blaine said, earning a small smile from Kurt. "I also love winter sports and has been deprived of it for years already." He ended, getting up and pulling Kurt up with him.

"This is going to be a nightmare." Kurt muttered under his breath. He was not really the most gifted in winter sports—well, any sport really but the look on Blaine's face which resembles an excited puppy, makes him want to try it out. Maybe it won't be so bad.


"Come on, you can do this. I'm here."

Everyone was enjoying the day. It was sunny, the snow was soft and it was easy to navigate through it.

At least for the pros.

For Kurt, however, it was difficult to even walk in the snow with his skis on. Granted that they had been at this for hours and Blaine had taught him the basics, he still wasn't as good as everybody else. Maybe he was better than Rachel but that is beside the point.

Now he found himself staring at a slope. If he was scared in the lift ride to get there, he was completely terrified now. Blaine assured him that it was a gentle trail and that he would definitely enjoy the view as they go down.

"This looks fun." Kurt asked, his voice sounding a lot more terrified than he intended. Blaine heard an audible gulp from Kurt. He ran a hand up and down Kurt's back.

"Alright Kurt, calm down." Blaine slowly said. "I promise we won't go fast, it's really not even that high." He explained.

"That doesn't calm me down!" Kurt's voice came out as a high-pitched screech and it took him a moment to compose himself. "Remind me why I agreed to this again?" He let out a long breath.

"Because you can't resist me." Blaine winked. Kurt rolled his eyes and he would've pushed Blaine away if only he wasn't terrified that his boyfriend would end up skiing down the slope and leaving him alone to freeze up there.

"I hate you so much." Kurt said, holding onto Blaine's hand as he starts to wobble a little. Blaine held him steady, smiling.

"Here's what we're going to do, I'm going to ski down that tree and wait for you there. Then we'll do that again until we reach the end of the slope. Okay?" Blaine explained. Kurt looked impossibly paler as he clutched onto Blaine's hand even tighter.

"We're not going down together? I thought you were going to hold me until we get down." Kurt said.

"There's a much less chance of falling down if we go by ourselves." Blaine slowly said, convincing Kurt. "Also, that's why you have the ski poles so that you can balance." He said. "You can do this Kurt."

"If I die, promise me you'll take care of James and that you'll start a singing career." Kurt said, finally letting go of Blaine. "Let's get this over with." Blaine laughed.

"Stop that. You're going to be fine." Blaine smiled. He gave Kurt a little nod before he was gone.

Blaine skied down to the tree, doing his best with his stance and hoping that it would help Kurt with his own. He reached the tree, turned around and waved for Kurt to follow. He watched as Kurt let out a breath and finally ski down to him, impressed at Kurt's balance and control. Blaine laughed as Kurt reached him, beaming.

"I'm very impressed. You're very good." Blaine complimented him. Kurt huffs and smoke comes out of his mouth.

"Don't jinx it."

"Ready?"

Kurt nodded and Blaine skied off once again and when he stops, Kurt followed suit. They do this a few more times until they reached the end, both panting and sweating from the activity. Blaine took off his foggy goggles and practically threw himself at Kurt.

"That was really good! You were awesome." Blaine smiled. Kurt hugged him back, laughing. "I knew you could do it." He said, planting a long kiss on Kurt's red cheeks.

"I was scared shitless Blaine but I must admit, that was fun. I've never done that. Ever." Kurt said as they slowly made their way back to the nearest ski house, hearing screams from Wes and Mike as they competed in skiing.

"Let's add a bit of color in your dull, celebrity life then." Blaine laughed. Kurt couldn't help but nod in reply.

"Have I ever told you that you're my slice of reality?" Kurt said, taking off his gear and taking a seat to relax.

"Yes. Several times now and I'm honored." Blaine smiled at Kurt, sitting next to him as they watched the others having fun.

There was a moment of pause before Kurt said, "So, what are we doing next?"


 

They spent the rest of the day trying out different winter activities like:

(1) riding a snow mobile which Kurt found to be really fun and thus he started a competition with Rachel.

"Eat my dust Rachel Berry!"

"What dust?! We're on a snow!"

(2) snowshoeing in which Blaine had been reprimanded several times courtesy of Kurt.

"This feels safer than skiing! Why didn't we just do this?" Kurt huffed.

"But skiing is fun too!" Blaine countered.

"Yeah, if I wanted to die."

(3) ice skating in which Blaine had to keep an eye on Kurt once again because he's not used to skates.

"How do you—?" Kurt started as he struggled to stand straight in his skates. Blaine held his hand, it was like déjà vu but this time they were on hard ice instead of soft snow.

"It's just like your sliding in your house with your socks on."

"That doesn't end very well either."

Not far away, Wes was also struggling with the skating. He wasn't used to it either so it was funny seeing him having a Skating 101 with Rachel, Mike and Tina. Sam and Alex are looking like they were going to compete for the skating Olympics in the future.

They would have gone dog-sledding but Rachel said that it was cruelty to animals so they headed back to their cabin instead to make dinner.


 

Everyone was huddled near the fire as they ate dinner, chatting about their day and laughing about the goofs that happened in the snow. Kurt looked around him and he couldn't help but smile fondly at everyone; who would have thought that in a span of 4 months, he'd be friends with all these amazing people.

And not one of them treated him like he was different just because he was famous.

Blaine noticed that Kurt had gone quiet but the smile on his face told Blaine that it was a good kind of quiet. He bumped his shoulders with him for a bit and Kurt turned to him, smiling.

"Happy?" Blaine asked, looking deep into Kurt's eyes. His own eyes sparkling.

"Very." Kurt simply replied. Kurt's attention was caught by Rachel taking a picture with Wes and an idea struck him. He turned to Blaine and smiled. "Come on, let's get the fans crazy." Kurt smiled.

Blaine just looked at him, confused. But Kurt just called Alex over and gave him his phone, telling her to take a photo of him and Blaine.

"Smile."

So they did and once the photo was taken, Kurt decided to tweet it.

Kurt Hummel @KurtHummel

Merry Christmas! With love from me and @BlaineAnderson.

"Imagine Tumblr right now." Blaine laughed, having fun with this.

"You're welcome internet." Kurt chuckled, putting his phone away.


 

After a few more minutes in front of the fire, they all decided that it was time to hit the hot springs; it was outdoors, just in the back of their cabin. It was a natural hot spring and everyone practically jumped into it as soon as they got out. It had instantly beaten the cold especially for the guys because they were just wearing towels and shorts to cover their twinkle tubes. The ladies were wearing robes.

"You know, it's nice that we can all spend our time out of the city for once." Alex said sincerely, looking up at the stars.

"We're just happy that we're part of this group." Mike honestly admitted, hugging Tina close to him. It was true, if it wasn't for Blaine, they wouldn't even be here anyway.

"There's only one person to thank for this." Kurt said, soaking his shoulders wet so he wouldn't get cold. Blaine just kept staring at Kurt's bare chest. "Rachel Berry, thank you. You and your dads are awesome." He smiled.

"Well, I love you guys so much. And this bunch of crazy fools were the first bunch of crazy fools I got to hang out with for a long time. That sticks, you know." Rachel smiled, splashing water over at Wes. He was going to splash back but Rachel gave him a death glare and threatened to make him sleep on the couch in the living so Wes apologized.

All of them laughed, poor Wesley.

"Blaine stop staring at Kurt's manly chest. We all know he's hot." Tina commented, giggling as he saw the blush that crept on Blaine's face. Kurt winked at Tina.

"Shh, I'm etching it in my heart and mind." Blaine laughed. "I'm going to make a song about his chest one day." He chuckled.

"Always the romantic." Kurt retorted with a laugh.

All of them just stayed there until most of them felt tired and sleepy.


 

Blaine and Kurt finally made their way to the bedroom as soon as they've changed into their most comfortable clothing; Blaine in a gray shirt and pajama pants while Kurt was in a black sweatshirt and pants.

Somehow, they got past the awkward getting in to bed and were now sprawled together, wrapped in each other's arms because it was really cold. Blaine's left arm was under Kurt's head, Kurt loved nuzzling his nose in Blaine's shoulder so they've settled into this position.

"Thank you Kurt." Blaine started, breaking the comfortable silence that they were sharing. Kurt's eyes were already closed and he hummed.

"For what?" Kurt asked, sleepily

"Just…thank you." Blaine smiled. Kurt just hummed again in reply, he was lowly drifting off to dream world because he was exhausted.

But Blaine took this moment to stare at Kurt and take in his boyfriend's beauty. He truly is the famous Kurt Hummel. Blaine leaned in to kiss Kurt lightly on the lips and he smiled as Kurt let out an almost satisfied sounding breath.

Blaine held him closer, wrapping both of his arms around Kurt. He knew that Kurt was asleep as he was evenly breathing and was practically dead to the world.

"I want you to fall in love with me." Blaine whispered into Kurt's hair. "Because I seriously think that I love you already." He ended.

They both fell asleep with Kurt not having an idea that Blaine had professed his love for him.
