Blaine smiles and pushes the hash browns around the pan. He leans back into Kurt's grasp and turns his head for a kiss.
"You may have mentioned it once or twice," he answers.
"Well, it's still true," Kurt says moving towards the coffee maker to pour himself a mug.
"And once again, thank you."
Blaine looks around his kitchen and, he must admit, it makes him feel good that Kurt likes his place so much. It had taken him a few years to fix everything up to his liking. He'd actually knocked out the wall that had originally been between the kitchen and living room to open it up more. But he's the most surprised to find how much he likes the color he ended up going with – yellow. He's not really a yellow kind of guy, but his friend Quinn had somehow talked him into it. The cabinetry had been white and while he had originally thought of stripping it down and refinishing them with a light oak stain, she convinced him to leave them as they were and picked a bright, almost egg yolk, yellow at the hardware store. He was extremely hesitant, but as soon as the first brush stroke went up, he knew she was right. It was bright, but not obnoxiously so and just… cheerful. He just stood back and smiled once he was finished. It was really the perfect color for the room.
"It's very… homey," Kurt added.
"I'm glad you think so," Blaine said as he plated the eggs and hash browns for breakfast. He pulled out a small box from the silverware drawer as he got the forks and knives and placed it on the side of Kurt's plate. He smiled nervously as he set the plate down in front of Kurt.
"What's that?" Kurt asked pointing at the box.
"Just open it," Blaine said a little breathless.
He watched as Kurt pulled the ribbon off and lifted the lid. He watched as Kurt paused, taking in the usually innocuous object and all it could mean. He watched as Kurt's eyes went wide and his breathing got shallow.
"A key?" Kurt said.
"I know it's probably too soon, and this isn't me asking you to move in," Blaine explained. "I just… I like it better when you're here. So, now, you can be here whenever you want."
"I like being here, too," Kurt said as leaned over to kiss Blaine. "Thank you."
"You're welcome."
