Baby, it’s Cold Outside – January 1st, Tuesday

            They broke the kiss but continued holding and each being infected by the other’s smile in an eternal feedback. Their foreheads were touching when Kurt spoke:

            “I’m so sorry for what I said this morning.”

            Blaine smiled and leaned in for another kiss:

            “It’s okay Kurt.”

            Kurt politely evaded it and looked into Blaine’s eyes:

            “No, it’s not okay, Blaine. I’m very confused about my feelings; at least I was in the morning. You see, spending time with you this week made me recognize the old Blaine; the Blaine I first fell in love with. The last few times I saw you, you were so broke that I couldn’t really see you. I looked in your eyes and I couldn’t find the boy I loved so much. But now you are here again and I remembered how much my live is better when you are in it. New year, new life. Let’s erase the past and begin again; would you be my new boyfriend?”

            Blaine’s eyes were moist:

            “I can’t do that Kurt.”

            Kurt stepped away in shock but Blaine held his hands and pulled him closer:

            “I can’t erase my past, Kurt. I don’t want to; even my mistake reminds me I can lose you at any moment. I want to remember how important you are and work for it. Can you take me under these conditions?”

            Kurt snuggled closer:

            “Do you promise never to do that again?”

            “Of course Kurt! I regret it every day; it almost cost me you. I can’t even think about getting closer to another guy without feeling disgust.”

            Kurt smiled and his breath tickled Blaine’s neck:

            “I needed to hear it from you.”

            Blaine kissed the top of his head. Kurt got away from Blaine’s neck and looked at him in the eye:

            “And we also need to see each other more often.”

            “I couldn’t agree more. I’ll try to buy tickets in advance to look out for sales. Maybe I can even get a part-time job. But you have to promise me to ever return my calls; even if you can’t talk at the time you’ll call me later.”

            Kurt smiled at him:

            “Deal, boyfriend.”

            Blaine welcomed Kurt’s lips approaching his. They broke the kiss and again let their foreheads touched as they smiled at each other.

            “You are the love of my life, Kurt.”

            Kurt’s smile grew wider:

            “And I never stopped loving you, Blaine; not for one second.”

            They kissed again. And again. And again. Then Blaine finally pulled them inside to get away from the cold. They were almost getting back at the party, when Kurt’s phone ringed. He smiled and answered:

            “Hi dad; happy New Year!”

            “Hello kiddo; happy New Year! You sound happy.”

            “I am.”

            “Where are you?”

            “Exactly where you wanted me, dad; I’m in Blaine’s arms.”

            Blaine held Kurt by the waist and Kurt put his arm around Blaine’s shoulder. They both could hear Burt’s laughter.

            “I’m so happy for you, son! Let me talk to Blaine.”

            Kurt passed him the phone and tilted his head to rest on Blaine’s.

            “Happy New Year, sir.”

            “Call me Burt, kiddo. Congratulations; I’m so happy for the two of you.”

            “Thank you, s… Burt.”

            “Just a warning that I’m keeping my eyes on you.”

            Blaine chuckled:

            “You can keep both of yours and both of Finn’s on me; I’m never walking out of the line again. Kurt is way too precious for me to even risk something that might hurt him in some way.”

            “You are a good kid Blaine. I’m really glad you and Kurt have each other. Happy New Year.”

            “Never to worry; I’ll take care of Kurt better than I take care of my own life. See you soon.”

            Blaine hang-up the phone and Kurt held him tighter. They entered the party tangled to each other. Rachel saw them from the other side of the room and came skipping in their direction:

            “You two are back together?”

            Kurt bit his lips and nodded. She jumped on both of them:

            “I knew it! You guys should never have broken-up.”

            Blaine smiled at Kurt and then looked at her:

            “Actually, I kind of thing we did. There were some things we needed to figure out and this time apart made both of us see what’s the real importance of the other in our lives.”

            Kurt pulled him for another kiss:

            “I’m so proud of how much you’ve grown.”

            They spent the rest of the night together. They literally couldn’t take their hands of each other and it never seemed to be enough. They danced the whole night trough and went home when the sun was already rising.

            They snuggled together under the covers after having securely closed the curtains of Kurt’s room. Kurt lay on his side and teased Blaine:

            “Honey, I’m cold.”

            Blaine smirked and spooned him while kissing his neck:

            “Don’t worry; I’m here for you. I’ll always be here for you.”

            They fell asleep cozy and warm.

February 14th, Thursday:

            Blaine climbed the familiar stairs and opened Kurt’s apartment door with his keys. He heard Kurt calling from the couch:

            “Rachel? Already home? I thought you’d spend the whole night at Brody’s.”

            Blaine fought his excited laugh as he answered:

            “She is.”

            Kurt got out of the couch and came running to hug him:

            “Blaine! What are you doing here? I thought you had class tomorrow.”

            “I have; but skipping one day won’t kill me. Besides, how could I possibly leave my boyfriend alone on Valentine’s Day?”

            “Oh honey…”

            Kurt went in for a passionate kiss. Kurt hugged him as he talks:

            “I’ve missed you so much those last two weeks.”

            “Me too; that’s why I’m here a day early. I also have a problem that only you can solve: I’m having trouble sleeping because my bed is too cold when you are not there.”

            “I’ll warm you up tonight. But first things first; are you tired? Are you hungry?”

            “A little bit, have you eaten?”

            Kurt blushed:

            “Kind of; I was watching a DVD from my Gilmore Girls box and attacking a pot of ice-cream…”

            Blaine laughed:

            “So all those ‘I’ll be fine during Valentine’s Day’; ‘It’s just a way for the commerce to make more money’ were lies?”

            Kurt brushed Blaine’s nose with his:

            “I didn’t want to sound upset because we wouldn’t see each other on Valentine’s Day. I’d be okay; but now you are here my night will be wonderful.”

            Blaine smirked:

            “If it’s not me to save your Holidays…”

            Kurt poked him:

            “I’m planning on spending Easter in Ohio with my family and my boyfriend.”

            “Good to know; I was about to buy my tickets here.”

            They sat together on the couch and ate the ice-cream. Kurt turned to Blaine with a teasing look:

            “Honey, I’m cold.”

            Blaine chuckled knowing what he meant by that. He tackled Kurt and gave him warm kisses:

            “I’m here for you. I’ll always be here for you.”

            Kurt smiled in his embrace:

            “I know you’ll be; I trust you.”

            That moment they were oblivious to the rest of the world outside; all that mattered was their hot bodies close together.
