Chapter 21

When Blaine woke up, he could surely say he was far more comfortable then when he went to sleep. So much more space and Kurt's warm body right next to him, right where it should be.

He could say that his nephew definitely slept like a star. And right in the middle of them both. He claimed he was afraid to fall out the bed so he couldn't sleep on the side and that there were spiders crawling over the walls so he couldn't sleep by the walls. That explained why his bed was basically in the middle of his room.

He smiled as he turned to his side and wrapped his arm around Kurt's torso, spooning him. He snuggled closer to inhale his always beautiful scent and lightly kissed at the back of his neck. He caressed all the way up Kurt's arm, wait a minute...

He popped up on his elbow to examine his boyfriend's arm closer. The arm was full of hearts, flowers and stars drawn with a black marker. There was one big heart, drawn red with a S+K written in the middle, the ‘K'  written to the other side, incorrectly, which made the whole thing cuter.

Blaine sighed, smirking and seeing Kurt start to stir. Kurt opened his eyes, blinked a few times and smiled up at Blaine. He brought up his hands to run his palms over his face but jumped a little as he saw his right arm ‘tattooed'. With a horrified expression he looked at Blaine, who only shrugged and leaned down to kiss his forehead.

......

After they got dressed, they headed downstairs where Christina had prepared breakfast. They exchanged ‘good mornings' and Kurt glanced around to see if he could spot the little rascal, the big artist.

Cooper smirked, knowing what was up. ‘'He's upstairs in his room. Claimed he was tired five minutes after he came out of the guest room with a marker. I knew the air wasn't clear but didn't want to wake you. Just thought he had drawn a mustache on one of you. That's at least what he did to me once.''

The boys chuckled and Kurt almost fell off his chair in alarm when he felt hands on his calves. He looked at Blaine who seemed just as confused, so he peeked under the table to find the curly haired boy with an adorable smile and puppy eyes looking at him, still in his pyjamas. Kurt saw that the boy's toe, just like his arm, was marked all over.

‘'What you've been up to, little guy?'' Kurt asked playfully, tapping Saul's nose with his finger. The boy just blushed and tried to hide by Kurt's leg.

‘'Come out, sweety. Eat some breakfast with us,'' Christina said to her son, piling her last pancakes on the big plate in the middle of the dining table.

They finished their breakfast and Kurt headed to the shower, scrubbing himself and finding out that the marker was sort of unwashable and it faded only a little. They were in Miami at the end of the summer but Kurt would have to wear something long-sleeved. Great. At least their performance outfits included blazers so it would be fine.

Rachel came into his room, suggesting to rub everything off with a nail polish remover, which thankfully worked. Honestly, he would've been glad to keep them but the weather just couldn't allow it.

They had to watch over Saul while Cooper and Christi would go out to get ready for their son's birthday party tomorrow. They promised to hurry so the group wouldn't miss the choir dinner and final rehearsal.

When the parents left, Rachel insisted they would go to the Miami Zoo to which Kurt and Saul could only cheer at. They both loved animals. This wasn't the first time Kurt would be visiting a zoo, since he'd been to one with the other kids from the orphanage but seeing the mesmerizing creatures was never boring. Plus, he loved the excitement glow in Saul's eyes.

They spent several hours at the zoo, Blaine being the third wheel to Kurt and Saul again, but he didn't mind. Sort of. He was just glad Saul liked his boyfriend.

On the way home they discussed who their favorite animal was, Kurt, Rachel and Finn saying it was the tigers, Blaine, the giraffes and Saul saying each and every one.

They got home, gave Saul some leftover food from yesterday and Kurt read to him again before his nap.

Blaine was leaning against the doorframe with his arms crossed over his chest, an adoring smile on his face as he observed the two boys he loved the most.

Kurt finished the story, tucked Saul in and kissed his cheek. He placed down the book and only then noticed Blaine standing by the door. He went to Blaine's arms, wrapping his own around Blaine.

‘'I love you so much, beautiful.'' Blaine moved his hands to Kurt's face, kissing him softly. Kurt tightened his grip, pulling Blaine closer and making Blaine move them both to the wall next to the door, crashing Kurt into it lightly.

Blaine pressed his body closer to the wall, making Kurt drag his nails across Blaine's back and trying to moan quietly. They were kissing a lot more feverishly and Blaine noticed his pants were getting a lot tighter.

‘'Khe khem.'' They heard someone clear their throat and Blaine groaned as he looked sideways at his sister. Not again. He just  wasn't getting lucky in this house at all.

‘'Now, I don't have a nanny certificate or anything but what I know for sure is that people shouldn't have a heavy make out session right next to a toddler's door,'' Rachel said with her hands on her hips, grinning when Finn came up to her, looking at them all as if asking ‘what's going on'. Kurt giggled and blushed, leaning his head down on Blaine's shoulder.

x-x-x-x-x

Kurt felt bad when he had to leave for the dinner. Saul had gotten so attached to him, in fact, Kurt was attached to the little boy too. Of course he knew he'd be coming back tomorrow, he would never miss the kids' birthday but still, it was pretty hard to leave a small child back while he was sobbing and reaching his hands for the boys and Rachel, while being in his dad's lap.

They drove the way to the hotel. The hotel had a bar and a restaurant separately which Kurt was kind of glad for. Even though it was a fancy hotel, usually the bar wasn't the quietest place.

When they arrived, half of the choir was already seated by the table and Rachel ran to her few girl friends to chat. Jeff's face lit up as he saw them coming and Kurt took the seat next to him, with Nick on the other side of Jeff.

‘'So, how did you spend your fist night at the hotel'' Kurt asked.

‘'It was good,'' Jeff said, avoiding his friend's gaze. It had been awkward. It was obvious that they would choose each other to be their roommates but he hadn't thought of the consequences. They had to share a double bed and it was sort of uncomfortable when Jeff didn't really know what to do and how to act. Through all the years they'd been friends, it has never been this weird.

He ended up taking the extra covers from the closets and they slept with separate covers in the same bed. Nick really wanted to talk to Jeff so badly but couldn't get himself together. It was the first time he was in a relationship and Nick had so many mixed feelings about that.

After about a half an hour everyone from the choir and a few members of the Brown family were seated at the dining table. Elizabeth stood up with a glass of wine, ‘'I'd like to thank my amazing choir for this opportunity to be here. If it wasn't for you, I don't know what would I be today. I know that tomorrow is just the second stage and there's so much more to go but you have to know that I'm proud no matter what happens. You're still my family. Cheers!''

Everyone raised their glasses and shared friendly glances. The only glance that wasn't friendly was the one Blaine shared with Sebastian who, of course, had to sit opposite of Kurt. He'd never really had a good relationship with Heidi's cousin. Even though he knew the man was naturally very flirty, he just didn't like it one bit. Especially if the flirting was directed towards Kurt. Sebastian had flirted with Blaine the first time he met him but only for like five minutes because he understood pretty quickly that he wasn't interested.

A bit later into the night, somewhere a little more tipsy than others, including Jeff and Nick, but the rest of them didn't drink much. They had a celebration to go to. Another thing he noticed was that Elizabeth was looking at him more lovingly than ever and Kurt was surprised of the action. He thought it would be the opposite, since Heidi's whole family is here and it would be the perfect time to give all the hatred or ignorance towards him but that just wasn't happening. And he liked it. He'd had so many sad thoughts just because he could get along with everyone who's important to Blaine except for his mother.

‘'Hey, Kurt'' Kurt glanced over to Sebastian who addressed him in a half drunken voice, ‘'you look bored,'' Sebastian looked at Blaine dramatically who narrowed his eyes, ‘'let me cheer you up. Let's say... pick up lines. I know some pretty good ones.''

Kurt inhaled a little shakily feeling how the air had gotten even more tense.  Jeff was paying attention now too, after giggling and whispering with Nick through the whole dinner.

‘'I can drive you crazy without a driver's license!''

‘'If I could rearrange the letters of the alphabet, I would put U and I together and next to each other forever.''

‘'I'm not staring at your boobs, I'm staring at your heart!''

At that Jeff and Kurt actually laughed.

‘'Wait, that one doesn't really fit the situation does it'' Kurt chuckled but saw on Sebastian's face that that was the intention.

‘'so we're friends now. When do the benefits kick in'' he winked at Kurt.

His mouth fell open, not knowing how to react. He felt Blaine putting a possessive hand on his thigh. ‘'That's enough,'' he growled lowly at Sebastian.

‘'Seb, what are you doing'' Heidi poked her cousin with her elbow in the side. It was just absolutely ridiculous now. Was Kurt the center of the universe now, really. Taking her place with the singing, getting her fiancé and now luring in her cousin. It was just stupid.

‘'What ? I'm only entertaining a gorgeous boy who...''

‘'Is not single,'' Blaine tightened his hold on Kurt's thigh.

‘'And not a toy,'' Kurt decided to defend himself, ‘'as you can see very clearly, I'm in love and there's no room for you in my life.''

Blaine made a winning grin towards Sebastian, who looked confused and not at all hurt. Blaine turned to Kurt and kissed him feverishly but quickly, making Jeff chuckle and Heidi sigh and roll her eyes.

‘'Boys, you okay there'' Elizabeth was starting to worry, seeing so many unhappy faces, but everyone nodded.

Kurt blushed and looked at Rachel who held a thumbs up for him. ‘'Are you excited to sing tomorrow'' Finn asked.

‘'Very,'' Kurt was so full on enthusiasm he could blow up, ‘'I'm also nervous but nervousness comes after excitement. I wouldn't of thought I'd be singing a duet in a competition two months after I came out of the choir already.''

‘'You deserve it,'' Rachel claimed and Finn nodded.

Heidi didn't want to listen to the gush. Kurt was getting too much praise. He's a orphan for god's sake. Why didn't no one notice that he was cheating with them all. There's no way he was doing everything of pure heart. He was just probably lazy and wanted to live off of a rich man's wallet.

‘'Excuse me,'' Blaine got up to go to the toilet.

He entered the bathroom and leaned on the sink, looking in the mirror. He wasn't feeling his best. He felt very, very confused. About Heidi. She was just sitting there, not showing any signs of jealousy or hatred. Nor hanging on his throat. Not that he wanted to. It just seemed so weird, she had changed so fast, like a light switch.

And then there was Sebastian. He didn't hate the guy. He was very nice actually. But the way he was just accosting him was pissing his off. He didn't think he was going to take it anymore.

He sighed and ran his hands over his face and went back out.

He stopped in his tracks when he saw that Sebastian had taken his seat and was leaning over to Kurt's side, too far into his private space. It was obvious Kurt was trying to lean away and trying to talk him into going to his own seat. He was so drunk, how did he get to his seat anyway

But he took a calm breath, not wanting to cause any drama, and approached the men. He placed a firm hand on Sebastian's shoulder, ‘'go to your seat, please.''

‘'No, me and my friend here,'' he tapped Kurt's arm, ‘'are having so much fun, right''

Kurt stuttered, not wanting to offend a drunk person.

‘'Please, go!''

‘'Right, gorgeous'' Sebastian didn't pay any attention to the man behind him and Blaine had it. The touchy-feely behavior was getting on his nerves.

‘'Come, Kurt,'' Blaine demanded gently.

Kurt was torn between wanting to stay a little longer since he didn't want to be the first one who left and just going.

‘'Go, have your own fun, boys,'' Nick said, Jeff playfully slapped his chest, and putting his  pointer finger on his lips, it wasn't  the appropriate place or company to say that aloud.

They shared goodbyes with everyone and Kurt hooked his arm around Blaine's elbow, leaving. At first he didn't really know where they were going, staying at the hotel or driving back to Cooper's, but Blaine was leading them to the car Jeff and Nick had rented previously, obviously going for the latter option.

The drive was silent. A little too silent for Kurt's liking. It wasn't uncomfortable but he would rather spend the ride talking with his boyfriend. Blaine didn't as much as glance Kurt's way. Kurt understood he was probably upset about Sebastian but he didn't want the man to be the reason of their arguments and the useless silence. But still, Kurt didn't try to start a conversation either.

When they arrived, the house was completely black and it was very dark outside. Everyone was sleeping because of the late hour. Blaine unlocked the door with his own key and they silently went upstairs to their room.

Kurt went to the nightstand and turned on the little lamp, lighting up the room slightly. He faced the bed and started to undress himself, placing his clothes neatly on the arm chair by the nightstand.

Suddenly, her was sharply turned around and pushed into the bed. He almost cried out but was stopped before he could do so with a hard kiss. Kurt's hands flew to Blaine's hair and he gasped when he felt that Blaine, just like him, was already in his underwear. Tricky bastard.

He was turned around again and now he was on top, without breaking the kiss. Blaine's hands gripped his ass tightly and thrust his hips down, making both of their erections slide against each other. Kurt wanted to moan out loudly but Blaine stopped him again, making Kurt understand what he was doing. Teasing bastard.

It shot multiple pleasurable tingles through his body, making him shiver and rub against Blaine faster and harder.

It was easier if Blaine was kissing him, but now he was biting his neck sofly, unocupying his mouth, and Kurt just breathed shakily, sometimes letting little, high pitched whimpers escape.

‘'Blaine...'' he was getting so close, he yanked Blaine's hair maybe a bit too harshly but they didn't care.

Blaine's mouth trailed the way to Kurt's chest, Kurt was rocking more and more unevenly until Blaine lapped his nipple and he came, trying to hold all the shouts and other noises to himself, Blaine just a few seconds after it.

They spent a few moments just there, breathing hard and getting down from their bliss, when Kurt opened his eyes, he saw Blaine staring at him with the look he adored. Full of love and affection. But there was a little bit of a smirk on his face but he ignored that.

Blaine caressed Kurt's back to his shoulder blades and lightly pushed him down, so that the blue eyed boy was lay right on top of him. Blaine wrapped his arms around the boy and held him tight, Kurt pecked Blaine's neck to say everything he wanted without words. He loved that sexy bastard.

x-x-x-x-x

It was the day. A very important day. First of all, the cutest boy in the whole wide world was having his birthday party, and second, Kurt was singing his duet on an actual stage in Miami. A pretty crazy day ahead of them.

As much as he didn't want to, he still woke up early which wasn't an easy task taking how late they had gotten home yesterday. But Kurt really wanted to help Christina with decorating and setting everything up.

But first, he had to actually get out of bed and that seemed like the hardest part. Blaine was fast asleep, snoring even, but Kurt had to literally squeeze himself out of the man's tight grip. At first, he was nervous to go downstairs. He really, truly hoped no one heard their adventures that night.

He went into the kitchen and Christina was sitting at the counter island, drinking her morning coffee. ‘'Good morning, Kurt! There's still some hot water in the teapot.''

Kurt greeted her as well and made his own drink.

Cooper then came into the front door with several boxes and shopping bags in hand, Kurt hurrying to carry them to the kitchen counters. He saw that there were balloons, garlands and other decorations in blue and green tones, making Kurt smirk. Decorating was his thing. He would definitely help out with setting everything up for the little boy's birthday.

‘'What about Saul?'' Kurt asked a little confused. ‘'Won't he see everything?''

‘'Elizabeth came to pick him up not a long time ago,'' Christi smiled. ‘'She's a really amazing grandmother. She volunteered to help out.''

Kurt nodded and smiled. Somehow during this trip, Elizabeth was proving herself different then before and Kurt liked this side of the woman.

‘'Here you are,'' Blaine said, rubbing his eyes and yawning loudly. ‘'Why didn't you wake me?''

Blaine wrapped his arms around Kurt and kissed his cheek.

‘'I didn't want to. You're so cute when you're asleep,'' Kurt said in a baby voice, making Blaine's brother and his wife giggle.

‘'Hey! Never call a man cute!'' Blaine pouted and Kurt just ruffled his curls that were free from gel.

.....

About an hour later, Rachel and Finn had woken up and they could get to work. They went to the backyard, Cooper and his wife staying in the kitchen to start to prepare meals.

They put up all the garlands and moved the table to a more convenient place. It was only morning but the air was already warm, making the work a little harder but not any less exciting.

They started to fill up balloons with helium. Finn was still making sure all the garlands were secure when Rachel accidentally tripped and bumped against Finn, who was standing on a bench. He fell onto the grass and Rachel hurried to him, mumbling apologies. Blaine and Kurt were worried for a second but when Finn stood up safe and sound, they continued their work.

‘'I'm so, so sorry,'' Rachel mumbled in a high voice. ‘'It wasn't my fault, it was the stupid rock floor. I'm sorry.''

She kneeled and Finn rubbed his butt where it was hurting a little. Rachel, being the young, worried girlfriend she was, pulled Finns sweatpants down to inspect the injuries. Kurt stood in shock, Blaine putting his palm in front of his eyes.

There was a loud squeal from Finn who wanted to pull his pants back up but was stopped by Rachel. ‘'Wait! Let me see!''

She gently caressed the small bruise that was on Finn's thigh, right next to where his briefs started.

‘'Ha, ha, ha,'' Blaine laughed, his voice a lot higher because he breathed some helium, ‘'Looks like Rachel gave a hickey on Finn's butt!''

Kurt laughed loudly, making Rachel blush and Finn pull up his pants with a little smirk on his lips.
