The next morning Kurt was awoken when Cooper barged in Blaine's bedroom proclaiming his younger brother to be a jerk. He paused when he saw Kurt was in Blaine's bed and quickly covered his eyes with his hand.
"I didn't see anything!" Cooper exclaimed trying to feel his way out of the room.
"We're not naked; you can uncover your eyes Cooper." Blaine told his brother.
Cooper either didn't hear him or didn't believe him as he left his eyes covered until he was safely out of the room. Once he was gone Blaine turned to Kurt.
"Good morning."
"Good morning, does he just barge into your room a lot?"
"Yup, he has no sense of boundaries."
"We'll need to get a lock for your door when we do start having sex."
"Agreed." Blaine laughed.
Neither man made a move to get out of bed yet rather they cuddled a little closer for a few minutes before Blaine spoke again.
"We should probably go to your place before we head to the picnic since I know there's no way in hell you want to wear yesterday's outfit again today."
"Actually I have a change of clothes in my satchel." Kurt told Blaine "It's a habit I got into during high school." He explained when he saw the confusion on Blaine's face.
"In case of fashion emergencies?" Blaine asked.
"Uh, no. At McKinley high the popular kids thought it was funny to throw slushies on the unpopular kids, especially the members of the glee club."
"That's horrible! The teachers just let that happen?"
"Yup, they claimed there was nothing they could do about it but in reality they just didn't care."
Blaine sighed all too familiar with the apathy of Ohio teaching staff.
"And even though I haven't been in high school in quite a while I still feel better knowing I have change of clothes in my bag if I need it."
"Understandable."
Blaine allowed Kurt who shower first while he laid in bed for a bit longer, taking the extra time to wake up. Before getting up and putting the coffee maker on, they actually had one that you are supposed to be able to program so it automatically brews a pot of coffee at a set time but somehow Cooper managed to break that feature which meant that Blaine didn't have the luxury of waking up to a freshly brewed pot of coffee and instead had to get up and make it himself, Copper always drank the coffee Blaine made but he never brewed a pot, which was probably a good thing considering the last time he tried was when he broke the timer. Once the coffee was brewing Blaine went back to his room to pick out his outfit for the day, he needed something casual for the picnic but was still fashionable enough to impress Kurt. He ended up picking one of his many red polos and a pair of jeans with a nice thick cuff on the bottom, he was just picking out a belt when Kurt came back in his room dressed in a pair of skinny jeans, a white Henley and a grey vest.
"The one in your left hand." Kurt told Blaine, who nodded and put the one in his right hand down.
"Did you have a good shower?"
"I did, I borrowed some hairspray I found in the medicine cabinet, I hope that's ok."
"Of course it is. There's coffee in the kitchen help yourself while I hop in the shower."
When Kurt walked into the kitchen Cooper was leaning back against the counter his feet crossed and a cup of coffee in his hand.
"Good night?" He asked waggling his eyebrows.
"You do realise we were both fully dressed when you came in this morning right? How many people do you know who have sex while in pyjamas?"
"You could've put them on afterwards."
"It is possible for a couple to share a bed and not have sex you know."
"Yeah, but not until they've been married for like twenty years."
"Or if they respect each other's boundaries and are taking things slowly."
"Wait, so you are telling me not only did you not have sex last night but you aren't planning on having sex any time soon?"
"This is a really strange conversation to be having with my boyfriend's brother."
"It's fine. Blaine and I discuss this sort of stuff all the time."
"No we don't." Blaine said walking into the kitchen.
"We do too! I tell you all about my sex life."
"You do not matter how much I try to stop you, and you might have noticed that I have never ever told you anything about mine."
Cooper shrugged.
A few hours later the rental car Blaine was driving pulled up to where the company picnic was being held. The company had several shuttle buses that left from the office to take employees to the picnic but the couple decided to rent a car instead in case Kurt didn't enjoy himself and wanted to leave early. Kurt let out a low whistle as he took in their surroundings.
"Where are we exactly?" he asked.
"This, my dear, is the estate of our beloved company's CEO, see that huge building in the distance?" Blaine said pointing. Kurt shaded he eyes with his hand and nodded.
"That's his house."
"Holy fuck. That's a house? Have you ever been in it?"
"Yup, my first company picnic I got a little heat exhaustion and his wife at the time allowed me to lay down in one of the many spare rooms until I felt better."
"His wife at the time? So that would have been wife number...?"
"Two? I think? She was the brunette with the mole right here." Blaine said touching Kurt's face in the appropriate spot.
"I think she was number three."
Blaine shrugged and the couple started walking to the picnic spot.
"Wait, who's the current wife?" Blaine asked Kurt as they claimed one of the many, presumably rented, picnic tables on the property.
"She's the one who kinda looks like a human Barbie doll isn't she?" Kurt replied as Blaine sat on the table.
"Who's a human Barbie doll?" Wes asked as he approached the couple.
"Bob's current wife." Blaine answered.
"No they spilt, I think he just got divorced from number six and is dating a tall redhead."
"You call him Bob?" Kurt asked Blaine.
"Just at the picnic, he insists at the picnic we call him Bob." Blaine told his boyfriend.
"After a few beers it becomes Uncle Bob." Wes added. "One year there was tequila and it became Uncle Bobby and he tried to grab all the women's asses."
Blaine mumbled something that sounded like "Not just women's asses." Which caused both Wes and Kurt to look at him questioningly, when he saw them looking at them he cleared his throat. "Now nothing stronger than beer is allowed at these things."
"Kurt, wow I never thought I'd see you at one of these things." Artie said rolling up.
"Yes well I was promised two months of free coffee if I don't enjoy myself....Are those porta potties? I was not told anything about porta potties."
"They're actually usually really clean." Wes told him.
"I am not using a porta potty, can we just go now?"
"We just got here. How about I make it four months of coffee?" Blaine negotiated.
"Six months of coffee." Kurt countered.
"Deal." Blaine said sticking out his hand, when Kurt took it Blaine pulled him in for a kiss.
"Is that an all the time thing or a picnic hookup?" Artie asked.
"An all the time thing." Blaine replied wrapping his arm around Kurt.
"People hookup at this thing?" Kurt asked.
"Oh yeah, it's really quite amusing." Wes answered.
"One of my favorite things about the picnic is watching Steve get rejected by every single woman in attendance." Blaine said watching amusedly as a woman Blaine thought worked in Accounting slapped his hated co-worker across the face.
"So Wes, have you guys caught the turncoat yet?" Artie asked.
"Not yet, there are a few suspects...not all I agree with."
"Me?" Blaine asked looking up.
"I know it wasn't you but having that bear at your desk...it doesn't look good man, especially since you weren't even assigned that prototype."
"I asked him to look at it, Steve was assigned it but he wasn't helpful with his critique. And then we noticed the bear looked like Blaine and we figured it would be ok for him to keep it at his desk as it was still on company property." Kurt explained.
"The bear looks like Blaine?" Arties asked.
"Well Kurt had this huge crush on me before we got together and yeah he made Blainey bear as a way to express those feelings."
"I wouldn't say I had a huge crush, more like I found you to be not unfortunate looking."
"That's why it's bowtie looks familiar! I gave you a bowtie just like that for Christmas last year." Wes said smacking Blaine's arm.
Blaine nodded. "So you understand why I had him at my desk right? And why I hope I can get him back after all this is over?"
"I do and I'll see what I can do about getting him back to you."
"Thanks, in the meantime you'd better take care of him for me."
"I will." Wes promised. "I need you to know this could take a while and you might be questioned a few more times by people who can be pretty fucking heartless."
Blaine nodded.
"Don't worry honey, they'll realise it wasn't you." Kurt reassured Blaine rubbing his back.
"How are you handling all this Artie? I know your depart is under suspicion too." Blaine asked.
"Oh, I've been cleared. Some of the toys that were stolen were designed and made while I was on vacation." Artie replied. "Sorry." He shrugged.
"That's great Artie, really." Blaine reassured him.
"Do you want to go? I won't count it as you loosing." Kurt asked quietly.
"No, I want to forget about all this fucked up shit for a while and have some fun." Blaine answered.
"Alright then, I'm going to go grab some beers, who wants one?" Wes asked.
Blaine and Artie both raised their hands but Kurt declined.
"I'm getting hungry, shall we go grab some burgers?" Kurt asked.
"Actually Artie and I both usually take part in the hot dog eating contest so we don't really eat other than that but you go ahead." Blaine told Kurt.
"Bastard usually beats me too." Artie added before turning to Blaine and asking him. "Do you even have a gag reflex?"
"Maybe I do, maybe I don't. That's for me to know and Kurt to find out." Blaine winked.
"I really need to think before I speak." Artie mumbled.
By the end of the day Kurt had to admit the picnic didn't completely suck, ok fine it was kind of fun especially when he and Blaine kicked everyone else's asses in the three-legged race, he didn't understand the hot dog eating contest, theoretically watching his boyfriend shove phallic shaped food down his throat should have been hot, but in reality it was a little...gross and when Artie said Blaine usually beat him Kurt assumed that meant Blaine usually won, but in reality Blaine came in fifth and Artie in sixth, and there were only six people in the contest, Kurt was pretty sure if he had chosen to enter he could've done much better than fifth place but it appeared that Blaine didn't really care how he placed.
"So, do I owe you six months of coffee?" Blaine asked Kurt as he pulled up outside of Kurt's building.
"I suppose not."
"So you had fun?"
"Surprisingly yes."
"Good." Blaine said leaning over and kissing Kurt. "That means I win the pleasure of your company right?"
"I believe it does. What do you have mind?"
"Backseat make-out?" Blaine suggested nodding his head to the backseat of the car.
"I would but you, my darling, have hot dog breath."
"Damn hot dogs, cuddle and a movie instead?"
"Sounds good."
"Ok, I guess we need to head to my place then."
"Actually, Rachel went to Lima to see her dads this weekend so we'd have my place all to ourselves."
"Damn! The first time we get any real privacy and I've been forbidden from making out with you." Blaine pouted.
"If you can get rid of that hot dog breath I may be persuaded to make out with you, a little."
"Challenge accepted."
