They pulled each other closer and their lips met in a feverish battle. The air around them was hot and steamy, their tongues fought for dominance... Kurt puts the book down and presses his hand to his mouth to suppress the loud laughter that wants to escape. Blaine gives him a puzzled look from the other side of the room. He is sitting on the floor in front of his stereo and tries to decide which Roxy album he hasn't played to Kurt yet.

“What are you reading?“

Kurt shifts on the bed. He bites his lower lip and grins sheepishly. “Just something Puck slipped into my bag the other day.“ Blaine looks at him inquiring. He smiles slightly and pushes his head a little to the side. Kinda like a puppy, Kurt thinks. The bow ties could be used to attach a leash. I think I have the right fabric at home to match the one he wore today. He shakes his head. This book is really messing with his head.

“He probably thought I would be all embarrassed and just throw it away or something. It is silly.“ He picks the book up and shows Blaine the title: Steaming Hot Romance Novels – Edition I Pirates and Slaves. Under the seriously ridiculous curved letters is a hilarious image of a comical pirate with peg leg, eye patch and everything. His blond hair is glowing in the painted sunset and he has his unproportional big arms around a young girl, who is probably supposed to be a slave judging by the state of her ripped clothing and the collar around her neck.

“Puck never stops to surprise me.“ Blaine looks at the shot glass on his shelf. He is still amazed that the guys have included him into their ranks at last. Although he still isn't sure how Puck himself really sees him – sometimes he is very accepting and not caring about having the gay boy in their mids at all and then he parades around in his strange macho attitude and gives speeches on how to be a real guy. “He knows what gay means right?“

“Oh, I think he knows alright.“ Kurt says and wonders at the moment it is out of his mouth what he means by saying that. Before Blaine can ask him, he babbles on. “I get that the english language is restricted to a certain vocabulary and all, but could they at least put their tongues battled for dominance to a rest? I mean come on: it is not a battle even if you are on a pirate ship!“

“I don't know it can be a battle.“ Blaine grins widely now, presses the start bottom on his stereo and stands up. Kurt cocks his head a bit, opens the book where he left his bookmark and continues reading. It may be really bad literature, but it is funny to read indeed. He feels the bed shift next to him and sees Blaine lying down next to him. For a while it is silent beside the soft sounds of Jealous Guy playing in the background. They try to get as many moments alone with each other as possible this summer, even if it is just sitting in one of their rooms and listing to music or reading. Kurt still isn't sure what exactly he will do in New York. Other than that he will be there. What ever happens. But right now they are here. Together. Kurt chooses to ignore the looks Blaine gives him sometimes. Enormous eyes begging him not to go. Although he would never ask him to actually stay in Lima for him. He can't think about this now. It is too hard. After a few minutes he startles a bit because the other boy has shifted very close and grins at him with a glow of anticipation.

“Yes?”

Blaine just keeps smiling. Kurt raises an eyebrow at him. What is he up to now? Suddenly he bounces on the mattress and there is no space between them anymore. Blaine is kissing him. No, it isn't exactly kissing. Blaine is attacking him. His tongue is poking at Kurt's lips like he wants to strike him – oh, batteling. Blaine leans back a bit and puts his face into a comical serious expression. “I am gonna get you. I am gonna win this fight!” The kiss is wet and messy. Blaine pushes him back on the bed and straddles his hips. Giggles run through his body. “Take this Kurt's tongue!” He tries to wiggle out of reach which just results in Blaine licking his neck instead of his lips. “Ha! I am gonna invade you!”

Kurt's eyebrows shoot up and he gives Blaine a mixture between his bitch please face and amused. “Really?” Blaine blushes only a little. “Hm, maybe later when my parents aren't home anymore.” He moves himself forward again and his tongue into Kurt's open mouth. They slide against each other tenderly for a moment. Then Kurt tries poking Blaine's tongue forcefully with his own, but ends up nearly gaging the other boy. Both of them pull back and Blaine falls next to him into the cushions. They look at each other and start laughing hysterically.

Kurt leans over and puts a soft kiss right next to his lips. “Maybe it is a battle. You are such a puppy sometimes, sweetie.“ Kurt strokes over Blaine's cheek tenderly.

“Woof.“
