CHAPTER 19

It was a nice Saturday afternoon and Blaine was just walking around his neighborhood. He was just counting the hours of Kurt's return to Los Angeles and that made him restless. Kurt would be arriving later that night and Blaine planned on surprising him over at the airport.

He also had time to think about Valentine's Day which would fall on Thursday of the following week. This would be his first Valentine's Day with Kurt and it has to be perfect but for it to be perfect, he will have to do something that he knew would surprise everyone; he just had to talk to the right people.

After a full 30 minutes of walking, he decided that it'd be best to go back to his apartment and think about what he was going to do for the rest of the day while he waits. His thoughts were interrupted when his phone rang; he stared at it for a moment, seeing that it was Kurt.

"Kurt? Aren't you supposed to be on a plane?"

"Is that how you greet your boyfriend on the phone when he calls you from miles away?" Kurt complained. Blaine laughed.

"Sorry, sorry. Let me try that again." He said. "Kurt! I can't wait to see you today!" He smiled into the phone.

"Really?" Kurt said in a teasing tone.

"Kurt it's been a month, I need to see you in person." Blaine said, he slowed down as he talked into the phone. He wondered why on Earth Kurt's calling him now.

"Hey Blaine," Kurt started. "Are you out in the streets by any chance?" He asked.

"Yes. Why?"

"Because your butt looks great in those shorts."

"What?"

That's when Blaine turned to look around him, his mouth dropping open because Kurt was already standing there, waving one hand at him while the other one was holding his cell phone to his ear.

"Quit staring and come here, I'd like a squeeze of that bum."

Well, so much for Blaine's plans. It seems that Kurt had the habit of ruining his surprises all the time; New Year's Eve and now this. Blaine just shook his head, a smile on his face as he saw Kurt visibly laughing. Kurt clicked his phone off, talked to his driver and motioned for Blaine to come which he did.

The car drove away, possibly towards the Pent to drop Kurt's luggage.

"What—what are you doing here? You told me you'd be arriving by nine!" Blaine said, looking at his watch. "It's 5 o'clock."

"Surprise!" Kurt laughed, his arms wide open.

"You just keep ruining my plans, don't you?" Blaine complained, his arms crossed over his chest. Kurt raised an eyebrow at him curiously.

"You know I always like to see that priceless look on your face when I zig." Kurt giggled. "What were you planning anyway?" Kurt asked.

"I planned to pick you up at the airport and devour you right there, paparazzi be damned." Blaine laughed.

"That would have been the talk of the whole industry for a decade." Kurt said in a mock tone. "Kurt Hummel devoured alive at the airport. That's not a very nice headline." He chuckled.

Blaine couldn't help but stare at his boyfriend as the laughter died down. He missed him. He missed him so much it's making it hard to breathe just by staring at him. He was really there.

His man. His Kurt.

His beautiful boyfriend whose hair was perfectly coiffed, smiling and joking around with him, making him feel like he's finally complete. He looked beautiful as ever and he stood there like a supermodel on a runway, it was impossible not to drool.

He snapped out of his ogling and huffed, "This is the last straw Hummel. I'm not going to let you ruin another surprise from me." Blaine said, letting his arms fall to his side. He grabbed Kurt's hand and led them both up his apartment.

"You have another surprise for me?" Kurt asked as Blaine fumbled for his key and opened the door.

"It's Valentine's Day next week." Blaine visibly lit up and Kurt could almost see his aura going pink. Kurt shook his head in amusement, stepping inside Blaine's apartment room.

Once the door was closed, he whipped around and threw himself at Blaine, missing his touch and his comforting hugs. Blaine chuckled quietly.

"Ah Valentine's Day, it's a simple excuse to sell candy and greeting cards on a holiday." Kurt pointed out. He's never been fond of Valentine's Day; he haven't really had something good to remember it by, he just keeps on remembering tacky Valentine's Day decorations when he thinks about it.

Blaine pulled away from his hug. "That's not true!" Blaine defended, getting Kurt intrigued at his passion for the holiday.

"Oh?"

"People have been celebrating Valentine's Day for centuries and call me a hopeless romantic but it's my favorite holiday." Blaine grinned, planting a soft kiss on Kurt's lips.

"Really?" Kurt smiled, shedding off his coat and making himself at home. Blaine stared at him as Kurt walked around the living room.

"Really. I think there's something really great about a day where you're encouraged to just lay it all on the line and—" Blaine paused, rethinking his sentence. And say that I'm in love with you.

Kurt had slumped himself down on Blaine's couch, looking up at him. "And?"

Blaine shook his head, this is not the time to stammer. "And show to somebody just how much he means to you." He ended, swallowing.

"You're so sappy." Kurt chuckled. He patted the empty space next to him and Blaine obediently followed, wrapping his hands around Kurt's waist.

"I missed you so much." Blaine said, kissing Kurt's neck.

"I missed you too." Kurt replied, burying his face in Blaine's hair. "And I can't believe that I just got back and you're preaching about Valentine's Day. You're so adorable."

"It's true though!" Blaine once again retorted, making Kurt laugh. "I'm going to prove it to you. This is going to be a Valentine's Day you'll never forget."

"Then I'll have to match your enthusiasm. I've got to make sure that I win in this." Kurt said, a sly smile on his face.

"Since when is this a competition?" Blaine laughed.

"Since you passionately preached about it." Kurt laughed. "Watch out Anderson, you're gonna lose."

Over the next few days, both boys were sly and scheming, making sure that their Valentine's Day surprise is kept in the dark. Although Blaine was curious of what Kurt had planned for him, he was more concerned of what he had planned for Kurt.

Kurt, on the other hand, was so excited for what he had for Blaine. And it took a little convincing from Rachel for him to actually go through with it.

Once Valentine's Day came rolling in, it started. For Kurt anyway.

Kurt had to head over to film for Sing! then straight to The Ellen DeGeneres Show which will be shot live that day for its Valentine's Day special but ever since his February 14 began, he's been receiving gifts from various people in his day to day life. And that made his day exciting.

The first gift came from Martha, his housekeeper. Martha handed him a bag when they bumped to each other as he was going out, saying "Someone asked me to give this to you". And when Kurt opened it, he blushed deep red.

It was a pack of wipes with a sticky note attached to it. He recognized Blaine's handwriting immediately. It said "You can count on me when things get sticky *wink wink*". Kurt shook his head in disbelief and laughed his way out of the building.

The next gift came from his driver Tom. Kurt just said his thanks before looking at what was in the bag; it was a matchbox car and there was another note inside saying "I wheelie like you", Kurt giggled. Where did Blaine get all these lines?

To be honest, Kurt was surprised to see Blaine working his shift in The Coffee House that morning, he half expected that he'll disappear for the whole day until his final surprise but it seems that he had a different thing in mind.

"Good morning. What will you have today?" Blaine asked professionally, as if nothing's going on. Kurt just shook his head, chuckling.

"The usual please. Thank you." Kurt replied. Blaine nodded and worked to make his mocha. After a while, Kurt received his coffee and a note was attached to it. It read, "Hold the sugar please! You're sweet enough as it is". Kurt snorted and he caught the grin that graced Blaine's face.

There was another note below it, "P.S. You look amazing today. Can't wait till you're free!". Kurt shook his head at Blaine.

"You're ridiculous." He said.

"But you have to admit, it excites you. And it's not all about candies you know." Blaine retorted with a smug look. Kurt nodded in agreement.

"I have to go, lots of stuff planned for today. See you later?" Kurt said.

"Definitely."

The fourth gift came when he was in his dressing room on the set of Sing!, Alex came in laughing before handing him a letter.

"I'd steal your boyfriend if he wasn't gay." She said, clearly envious of Kurt at this point.

Kurt smiled before opening the letter but it wasn't really a letter. It was a paper with a doodle of an owl, saying "Owl Be Yours Forever". He decided to tweet it.

Owl be yours forever? Really? :P

February 14 (12:37 p.m.)

I'm an artist! :D

--

The next gift he received was from Rachel who tagged along with him to visit Ellen as well. She giggled as she handed another gift to Kurt.

"When did Blaine get in touch with you all?" Kurt finally wondered aloud. This was ridiculous, how come he didn't know any of this?

"Your boyfriend is a sly fox." Rachel laughed.

Kurt opened the gift and it revealed another doodle. This one says "You are very dear to me" with a drawing of an actual deer. He laughed because it seems like Blaine can't draw a four legged creature.

--

Kurt Hummel @KurtHummel

You are very…what is that? ;) haha!

--

February 14 (3:15 p.m.)

It doesn't look like a deer to me. :P

February 14 (3:20 p.m.)

You try and draw a proper looking deer. It's not easy!

(3:22 p.m.)

STOP MAKING FUN OF ME ON TWITTER!

--

Kurt laughed as he exchanged texts with Blaine, he was just waiting for the show to start. This is it, he's really going to do this. He hoped that Blaine would be watching.

A few minutes before the start of the show, there was a knock on Kurt's door. Alex got up to open it and Kurt couldn't help but notice that Alex was trying so hard to keep her face straight. What's going on here?

"Kurt Hummel, it's always nice seeing you." Ellen smiled, offering a hand out for him to shake. Kurt gratefully accepted it and smiled.

"It's always great being invited here." Kurt smiled.

"So, we'll keep it sweet and simple. It's Valentine's Day so I hope you're ready for that." Ellen reminded him with a smile and Kurt nodded, he was born ready. "We're going to talk about Sing!, your new book, your upcoming movie and then on to more fun stuff."

"More fun stuff?"

"Oh you know, it's my show. Expect the unexpected, I guess." Ellen winked before waving goodbye. Kurt just let it pass but the look on Alex's face was totally creeping him out.

"Let's welcome, Kurt Hummel!" Ellen introduced him. Kurt came out, a genuinely happy smile plastered on his face as he waved to the crowd. He danced to the music and gave Ellen a hug. "You're very energetic today! I love it!"

"Hey, Hi!" Kurt laughed, taking the seat that was offered to him by Ellen.

"We finally got you on the show again! You've been so busy these days." Ellen started.

"Yes. I have. It's been a crazy year." Kurt said, his smile never leaving his face.

They talked about the show, his book and his movie while frequently joking around. It was over soon and Ellen started saying, "Alright, now that we got all those business out of the way," The audience laughed. "Let's get into the Valentine's Day mood." The crowd cheered.

Kurt smiled, this was it.

"How's your Valentine's Day so far?" Ellen asked, a smile gracing her face.

"It's been fun so far. I've been receiving gifts." Kurt told her honestly, his cheeks hurting from smiling. He remembered Blaine and he really, really hoped he was watching.

"I gather that you have someone special in your life right now. Would you like to share?" Ellen egged him on. Kurt glanced at Rachel who was seated with the audience, Rachel nodded at him.

"Yes. Yeah, I mean, it's not a secret or anything." Kurt started. "If you follow me on Twitter, you'd definitely know who he is." He smiled, a blush creeping to his cheeks. He could actually see Alex biting her pen and he doesn't know why, she only does that when she's anxious or excited.

"We've seen a few pictures of you two." Ellen said before a photo flashed on the screen. It was a photo of him and Blaine over the holidays, the one on his Twitter. "Can you tell us anything about him?"

Kurt grinned, he remembered Rachel's words: "Don't you think it's better for him to see rumors about the both of you rather than seeing rumors about you and other guys?"

"That's him alright. That's last Christmas." Kurt smiled, looking at Blaine's face on the screen. He shifted his attention to the right and smiled directly at the camera. "Hi Blaine, are you watching? Surprise!" He said, waving and laughing.

"Surprise?" Ellen asked, there was still a knowing smile on her face. Kurt nodded in reply.

"We've talked about Valentine's Day and who's going to do something more surprising. So I hope this beats everything he's planned." Kurt laughed.

"Speaking of surprises, we also have a surprise for you." Ellen said, making Kurt's face fall, now he's nervous; he knew what Ellen was capable of. "Don't worry, I'm not going to scare you, you're not Taylor Swift." She laughed, making the audience laugh with her.

"Then what—?" But his question was drowned out when a piano started to play. Shit. He darted a look over at Rachel but she was only grinning wildly. What the hell was happening?

"Is that a recording?" Kurt asked Ellen quietly as he looked around. Ellen just laughed and then he heard him, he heard Blaine start to sing.

I wished for you on a falling star, wondering where you are
Do I ever cross your mindin the warm sunshine
He's from the city of angelslike Bette Davis, James Dean and Gable
Never know what he means to me, I fell for the guy that's on TV

-

"Oh my god" was the only thing that Kurt could say as the curtains on the side of the set opened to reveal Blaine behind a paino, singing Girl On TV and obviously changing the pronouns in the song. Kurt chanted 'oh my god' under his breath, hiding his blushing cheeks behind his hands.

Ellen was laughing beside him and patting him on the back, dancing to the beat of the song. Once the song ended, the crowd cheered and clapped like mad, clearly falling in love with Blaine's charms.

"Blaine Anderson everybody!" Ellen announced as if it was the most natural thing in the world. Kurt just gaped at his boyfriend as Blaine walked over to them, a shy smile on his face. "Hi." Ellen greeted him, offering a hand for him to shake.

"Hi." Blaine managed to reply, shaking Ellen's hand. This was what Blaine had planned for days, getting everyone to help him be there and surprise Kurt, and the look on Kurt's face was priceless.

"Kurt? Are you still breathing?" Ellen laughed, enjoying everything that was happening.

"Surprise?" Blaine tentatively said. Kurt just continued to stare at him and then he blinked, snapping back to reality.

"Oh my god, how are you here?" Kurt said, his blush never fading. Blaine just shrugged and smiled. They all sat down, Kurt finally taking his hands off of his face but the smile not leaving his face. "How did you do this?" He asked Ellen.

"Don't look at me, your whole team were very sneaky. We were just in it for the exclusive." Ellen laughed. Kurt shook his head, eyeing Blaine on the side. "So, Kurt, will you do the honors please?"

"Uhm, yes, this is Blaine Anderson, my boyfriend." Kurt introduced him, intertwining their hands together. The crowd cheered, this is the first time they're confirming their relationship in public.

"Let's cut right to the chase, how long have you two been together?" Ellen asked.

"A little over three months." Kurt smiled, squeezing Blaine's hand. "But we've known each other since August of last year."

"How did you two meet?" Ellen asked, directing her question to Blaine who felt like his mouth refused to move. This was Ellen DeGeneres, you don't just talk to Ellen DeGeneres. Oh my god.

"I was asked to play at a fundraising event and I met him there. But we got to know each other through his publicist. I still can't believe I'm with him, I mean, I'm just some guy." Blaine said which ended up with him receiving a whack on the shoulder courtesy of Kurt, making the audience laugh.

"He's really not. He's an amazing performer." Kurt complimented his boyfriend. Ellen nodded.

"I agree. That was a stunning performance Blaine." Ellen smiled and Blaine mumbled a 'thanks'. "Do you think you'll end up on Sing! at some point?" She asked.

"No, I don't think so." Blaine honestly replied, shaking his head. "I'll just be supporting Kurt quietly in a corner." He laughed.

"You're not planning on venturing into acting?" She asked.

"That's not really my thing, I'm more of a music guy." Blaine replied. "I think I'll leave the spotlight to Kurt." He smiled.

"Now that your relationship is finally out in the public, do you have anything to say to your fans?" Ellen asked Kurt. Kurt gave Blaine a quick glance and a smile.

"Please go easy on us. We're nice." Kurt chuckled. He just hoped this won't affect them too much.

Meanwhile, on the internet:

OHMYGOD GUYS THEYRE OFFICIAL

ASDLJASFLAK BLAIEN MARRY ME

gO MAKE BABIESs OMFG

SWEET MERCIFUL JESUS MY OTP

"I can't believe you were on Ellen."

"I can't believe I was on Ellen."

It was really hard for the two of them to keep their hands off of each other while on the car ride to the Pent and finally, once they were inside the penthouse with the door closed and locked, they were all over each other before either of them knew it.

"I can't believe I did that." Blaine breathed heavily as Kurt worked his lips on Blaine's neck. "Was I good?" He continued, attempting a conversation.

Kurt pulled away from his neck and glared at him, "Blaine, shut up." He ordered before covering Blaine's lips with his. He could feel Blaine smiling into the kiss but responding enthusiastically nonetheless.

They stumbled into Kurt's room, their lips refusing to pull away from each other as if they haven't kissed in a decade. But they pulled apart slowly when they heard a purr and on the bed was James, minding his own business.

"James, get out of the room." Kurt said, his hands still wrapped around Blaine's neck and Blaine pulling him close, kissing his neck and making his mark. Kurt couldn't stop the moan that escaped his lips when Blaine darted a tongue out to lick the bruise that was now starting to form on Kurt's collarbone.

Kurt was definitely losing focus and his cat wasn't moving. So he pulled away from Blaine.

"What?" Blaine asked dazedly. Kurt held up a finger at him and told him to wait.

Kurt cautiously walked over to James who was just sprawled out in the middle of his bed like it was his. He could hear Blaine laughing behind him and it took all his will power to not stomp his foot angrily on the floor.

"James, get off the bed." Kurt repeated but James just stared at him before ignoring him again. Kurt knew that removing James from the bed would be dangerous to his skin; the cat tends to claw when he's disturbed.

"Let me. He likes me." Blaine gloated. Blaine kneeled beside the bed, making James come closer to him. "Come on James. That's it." Blaine said as James slowly walked over to him. "We're going to need the bed so you have to sleep out in the living room for now, okay?" He continued as he scooped James in his arms, walking out of the door.

Kurt chuckled at what was happening, he can't believe that his cat managed to interrupt them. Blaine was back in a blink of an eye, closing the door behind him.

"Now then, where were we?" Blaine smiled before grabbing Kurt by the waist and kissing him again.

The back of Kurt's knees felt the edge of the bed and they both fell on it, Blaine on top of Kurt. Blaine hovered over Kurt, his face mirroring the flush on Kurt's cheek.

"Happy Valentine's Day." He grinned.

And Kurt knew why he was grinning, he was grinning because he was winning. That rhymed.

Before Blaine knew it, Kurt was rolling them over and now he was on top of Blaine, his hands supporting his whole body.

"There's no way you're winning this." Kurt said seriously, making Blaine laugh. "Blaine." Kurt said, his voice deep and dripping with lust.

Kurt started unzipping Blaine's pants, prying them down while Blaine shifted higher onto the bed, making them both comfortable in their positions. Kurt stared at Blaine who was fully naked in front of him and he couldn't believe how hot his boyfriend was under his colorful vest and pants.

"Kurt." Blaine groaned as Kurt started stroking his length, kissing him deeply to drown the strangled moan that Blaine almost let out. He couldn't stop his hips from bucking up to meet Kurt's strokes.

Kurt smiled darkly, his eyes full of desire as he planted kisses on Blaine's body, making him his. His hands were strong and every stroke made Blaine want to come but he wanted to prolong the feeling of Kurt's hand on his cock.

It took every ounce of his strength to keep meeting Kurt's stroke with his thrusts but the heat on his stomach was becoming too much and Blaine couldn't keep it in. Kurt leaned in closer to his ear, licked his earlobe, whispering, "Come for me."

Kurt's lustful voice made Blaine go over the edge and he was coming all over Kurt's hand, shuddering as he fell down from his orgasm. They both panted heavily, calming down a little. Kurt couldn't stop the triumphant laugh that escaped his lips, his face buried in the crook of Blaine's neck.

"Oh, no you don't." Blaine laughed quietly, as he rolled them over once more. He's got enough energy to reciprocate Kurt's actions. Kurt's eyes widened but he was laughing too.

"You just won't let me win, won't you?"

"Everything's a competition with you now." Blaine chuckled. "And your smug looking face is provoking me." Blaine said before claiming Kurt's lips in his, sucking and licking everything he could.

He left Kurt's lips and worked his way down his body, kissing everything in plain sight. Kurt knew that Blaine's intense kissing would end up with him having hickeys in ridiculous places but for now, he doesn't want to think about it. Blaine was kissing over Kurt's abdomen when he unbuttoned Kurt's jeans and helped him out of it, his face becoming dangerously close to Kurt's erection.

Blaine looked up at Kurt and Kurt saw the glint in Blaine's eyes, he smiled and nodded. Blaine bit his lip as he grabbed Kurt, making him whine.

"Blai—ah!" Kurt let out as Blaine teased him expertly with his mouth. Tongue flicking and licking and making Kurt whimper.

Blaine could feel Kurt tremble under him as he worked his lips on his cock, taking him fully. Kurt let out a strangled noise, gripping the sheets under him, trying not to buck his hips up and choke Blaine. The other man smiles as he continued, wanting to make this the best blow job he's ever given in his life.

"Fuck." Kurt swore as Blaine continued to do his magic, combining lips and hand movements that made Kurt want to faint. He can barely think, he couldn't remember when the last time he felt like this.

"Blaine—I can't—I" Kurt stammered, panting heavily and Blaine pushed it until Kurt pulled at his hair, his lips letting go with a 'pop!' and with a few more strokes and whispers from Blaine in his ear, Kurt was in heaven, finally coming on Blaine's hand.

Blaine flopped over Kurt, his chest heaving as they both tried to catch their breaths.

"You're amazing." Blaine whispered, nibbling at Kurt's earlobe. Kurt breathed out.

"And yet you always manage to do everything better than me." Kurt whined. Blaine just laughed as he rolled to his side, facing Kurt, their noses touching each other.

They both stared at each other's eyes before Blaine planted soft kisses on Kurt's lips. "Happy *kiss* Valentine's *kiss* Day *kiss*." He said in between kisses. "I *kiss* win *kiss*." He laughed.

Kurt giggled. "Fine. You win." He conceded.

"I told you it'll be a Valentine's Day you'll never forget." Blaine said, kissing him again. "We're a mess. Wanna go get cleaned up?" Blaine offered. Kurt nodded. "Lead the way Mr. Hummel."

And they took a shower together, not doing anything indecent, just really taking a shower and cleaning each other up. After they're done showering, they took off the dirty sheets and lay together, sleeping together for the first time in weeks.
