It had been three days since Kurt and Blaine had reconciled.

And now, they were bored,

Rules of being in this programme meant that Hank and Leanne had to know where they were at all times, they had no access to the internet, a phone. All they could do was stay in the house unless they had permission to leave.

The first day, Kurt baked cookies for the family while they were all out but by the time, they had gotten home, Kurt and Blaine had eaten all of them between the two of them while they were watching movies.

The second day, the pair had played card games all day. Blaine discovered Kurt was a sore loser and Kurt discovered Blaine was the flirtiest human being ever – there had been plenty of unnecessary hand touches when passing cards between one another

The third day, they were bored out of their minds. They had explored the house to within an inch of its mind. They had played with the Saunders' family dogs and now Blaine wanted to go outside. He was sat a window seat, staring out the window longingly. Kurt was reading a book, his legs curled underneath him. "Blaine what are you doing?" Kurt asked after a while. The staring rather intently out of the window was creeping him out now.

"I wanna go outside so bad!" Blaine rushed as he spoke. "Look it's sunny, we are on a ranch, I just want some fresh air"

"You know we can't unless we ask them first" Kurt shrugged, turning back to his book. Five minutes later when he looked up again, Blaine had gone. 'This can only mean bad things' Kurt wondered to himself. The man was like an excitable puppy inside, God knows what he will be like outside.

Kurt decided to let Blaine stay wherever he was and became engrossed in his book again when he felt hands on his shoulders, shaking him excitedly. "THEY SAID WE CAN GO OUT FOR AN HOUR AS LONG AS WE DON'T LEAVE THE RANCH!" Blaine screeched happily.

"Well I would come with you but please stop destroying all my brain cells by shaking me. Get off!" Kurt said, playfully slapping Blaine's hands off his shoulders.

"Come on" Blaine whined at Kurt as he stood up.

"Go ahead without me, I will catch you up" Kurt said, pushing Blaine in the direction of the door.

Two minutes later, Kurt headed outside to find Blaine holding a chicken in his arms and stroking it gently.

"Blaine. Why do you have a chicken in your arms exactly?" Kurt asked.

"He's cute!" Blaine said, smiling.

Kurt rolled his eyes and asked "How did you catch him anyway?" walking towards Blaine and gently stroking the back of his fingers of the chicken's feathery body. There was something oddly comforting about the animal.

"He was near my feet so I grabbed him. He settled pretty easily though, most chickens put up a fight" Blaine said airily, continuing to pet the chicken in his arms. In the corner of Kurt's eye he noticed a gravel path leading off towards the fields of the ranch.

"Blaine, leave the chicken and come for a walk with me" Kurt said, gesturing towards the path. Blaine reluctantly put the chicken down but followed Kurt all the same.

The path continued past the fields for a while. The first field contained three horses – one of which Kurt stopped to pat when the horse nuzzled his shoulder as he walked past it. "And you told me off for stroking a chicken" Blaine said, shaking his head in mock exasperation.

"The horse is cuter" Kurt reasoned. Blaine grabbed Kurt's hand and they continued walking for a while. The path came to the edge of some woodland and Blaine bent down to pick some wild daises from the floor, handing them to Kurt with a flourished bow.

"Why thank you kind sir" Kurt chuckled, accepting the flowers with a smile.

"Kurt! Look over there!" Blaine suddenly shouted and he ran off. Kurt looked up and saw a large lake – sparkling and blue in the sunlight. It also had a sturdy tree to the edge of it of which was hanging a rope.

Blaine was on the edge of the lake, looking eagerly at Kurt. "Do you want to jump in the lake Blaine?" Kurt teased.

"I really do" Blaine replied.

"Go for it then" Kurt said. Blaine stepped towards the tree and with a single glance backwards in Kurt's direction; he peeled off his t-shirt and threw it on the floor. Kurt eye's widened slightly. He had always been able to tell Blaine was toned, his arms gave that much away but Kurt was not prepared for the chest that was in front of him right now.

Blaine was tanned and there was a light dusting of hair on his chest. His muscles were flexed as he climbed up the tree to reach the rope swing. 'Stop staring!' Kurt's inner monologue told him but his eyes would not be averted. Blaine had reached the rope and was happily building momentum using his hips. Kurt's brain was thinking of much more interesting ways for Blaine to be using his hips but he tried to shake off the feelings.

Blaine dropped into the water with a large splash and then a shout of "Shit that was cold!" Kurt settled himself down on the edge of the water and laughed as Blaine began to shiver.

"Think its funny do you Kurt?" Blaine said, treading water in the lake to stay afloat.

"You jumped in a lake. In October. Of course it's going to be cold!" Kurt chuckled. Blaine grinned evilly and casually flicked an arm towards Kurt, splattering him with cold water.

Kurt shrieked. "Blaine!"

"Come and swim with me Kurt" Blaine said, sweetly.

"No!" Kurt protested but he could already feel his reservations slipping away as Blaine put on the puppy-dog eyes.

"Pleaseeeeeeee!" Blaine whined. "Either you get in here and swim or I come and drag you in here myself"

Kurt reluctantly stood up and pulled a face at Blaine. "Is it really that cold?"

"It's not too bad, I'm kind of used to it now" Blaine said, leaning back and floating on the surface of the water. Kurt shrugged – it wasn't every day a highly attractive man was actually asking him to go swimming in a actually really pretty lake.

"You can't laugh though" Kurt said, lifting his shirt over his head. Blaine frowned and stood back on his feet to give Kurt a look. "Why would I laugh?"

"Because you look like that" Kurt said, gesturing to Blaine's arms "and I look like this" It wasn't that Kurt wasn't muscly, he did have some definition in his arms but he was a lot paler compared to Blaine. Kurt couldn't see it though, he always had had low self-esteem.

"You look gorgeous" Blaine said with a flirty smile. Kurt smiled a little before he stepped his foot in the water. "Ah! Blaine, you said it wasn't that cold!"

"It's not! You just have to actually jump in first!" Blaine reasoned, pointing to the rope.

"I'm not doing that!"

"I'll catch you. Seriously, try it Kurt, it's fun!"

Kurt, again, figured why not? He began to climb the tree in his bare feet which was not as painful as he thought it would be until he got the branch that held the rope, grabbing hold of it, he swung for a while until he could no longer see Blaine beneath him and then he let go.

Kurt was suddenly hit with a blast of icy cold water and his entire body was submerged. Even though, he was now freezing and his hair was ruined, he was actually enjoying himself. Gasping for breath, he pulled his head out of the water and was greeted with a smiling Blaine.

"You said you would catch me" Kurt said, winking at Blaine whilst shivering with the cold.

"You didn't need me to catch you, you were flying and falling perfectly fine by yourself" Blaine replied, swimming towards him. They stayed like that for a while, swimming together, playfully splashing one another. Kurt had begun to shiver rather violently now and was on the verge of getting out when he felt a pair of strong arms around his stomach.

"Blaine, that kind of stops me being able to get out"

"Exactly" Blaine said, locking his hands so it was harder for Kurt to wriggle out of his grip. Not that he really wanted to.

"I'm cold, come on let me go" Kurt said, laughing a little.

"Exactly, I'm warming you up" Blaine replied. He leaned forward a bit, so his front was pressed against Kurt's back.

"Well as much as I appreciate it, maybe you should let me go" Kurt giggled as he turned round so his front was now facing Blaine, Kurt placed on his hands on the side of Blaine's waist. Their faces were now in very close proximity. Kurt could feel Blaine's breath on his cheeks.

"Hello" Blaine whispered.

"Hello yourself" Kurt said back. He could do it, if he leaned forward just a little, he could kiss Blaine. Blaine was thinking the exact same thing. 'You barely know the guy and this is not an ideal situation to find a boyfriend Kurt' the devil on his left shoulder was telling him. However, the angel was telling him 'He hugged you first, he must like you'

But Blaine let go of Kurt and dived back under the water, saying "Go warm up then land dweller"

Kurt got out and pulled his shirt back on. 'What the heck just happened?' he thought to himself.
