It was the Fourth of July. Tonight Kurt and Blaine would be heading out to watch Fireworks with Santana and Rachel. Kurt was currently in the shower while Blaine sat on their bed lost in thought, coming back from Vermont the two boy's had been in high spirits, their apartment now had additional photo's lining the walls. Photos of Kurt's mother while she was growing up, and copies of the picture's they'd taken with Grandma Hamilton while they stayed with her. Since they'd been home they'd taken time twice a week to hop on Skype purely for the purpose of talking to her, it was obvious to both boy's that Grace Hamilton was actually a fairly lonely woman, so they went out of their way to ensure they talked to her regularly. Everything had been going smoothly up until three days after they got home from Vermont. First Kurt's car sporadically just...died. Not even Kurt could fix it, after calling his dad and going over the different things that could be wrong, they still couldn't get it running, so Blaine stood off to the side of Kurt wishing he knew enough about car's to help as his fiancé cursed and essentially attacked the engine in fury trying to figure out the problem. Apparently the only way to fix this was to buy some obnoxiously expensive car part that just really wasn't affordable for them at the moment. Then after spending about 45 minutes trying to calm him down and reassuring Kurt that'd they'd figure something out, they'd gone back up stairs and their A/C had stopped working, the apartment was scorching, it was humid and gross, they spent most of the day in their boxers trying to find ways to distract themselves from the heat and they'd spent an hour on the phone arguing with the landlord about getting it fixed because the man had told them they were on a 'list' because it wasn't just theirs that had broken in the building and it could be a few days before anyone even got to them. Kurt had been in a mood since; it hadn't helped at ALL when he got up the next morning and tried to make his way to the bathroom in the dark only to trip over one of Blaine's boxes and fall bruising his shoulder when it slammed against the wall.
On top of everything that seemed to be going wrong, Kurt was under a lot of stress at work to design his clothing line; Jean Paul and Catherine had sped up the deadline and he needed all his rough drafts done by next week, they wanted to finish the line early and get it out there for some attention before the next Fashion Week came around so that people would know who he was and be familiar with his designs. Which was great in theory, but it reality it meant Kurt was literally working night and day. Blaine would go to sleep at night alone with Kurt hunched over his sketch book and wake up in the morning with Kurt's side of the bed cold and Kurt at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee still sketching away with bag's under his eyes and balled up pieces of paper littering the floor around him. Kurt was more focused than ever because he'd been told if he finished on time he'd get a bonus which he was determined to get to help them out financially, hopefully be able to fix the car and put some money away for a new place. But Blaine was worried about him, he didn't know HOW to get through to Kurt and help, the most he could do is make sure Kurt was eating and try as hard as possible to coax him to sleep at least a couple hours a night, not that it worked.
He was at a loss, he missed his fiancé, he knew that Kurt's work was important and this clothing line was huge for his career but part of him just wanted to grab Kurt's phone from him every time Catherine called to 'get an update on how close he was to finishing' and tell her to back off and even though he knew she was doing everything she could to make Kurt's dreams come true because he needed a break. It was affecting him though, he would admit, it was affecting him and their relationship. He'd get ready for bed each night and walk out to ask Kurt if he was coming to bed only for Kurt to not even notice he was there he was so consumed in his work so Blaine would just stand there watching sadly before turning and once again heading to bed alone pulling Kurt's pillow into his arms and taking a small comfort in his scent. More than once he'd walked up behind Kurt to hug him and start placing small kisses on his neck hoping to get his attention only to have Kurt huff slightly and turn to give him a barely there peck on the cheek before turning back to his work saying he was too busy right now and go back to his sketches, and each time the sting of rejection broke Blaine's heart a little more. Eventually he just got to the point he would leave a sandwich and cup of coffee next to Kurt on the table not even bothering to wait for a thank you because he already knew by the time Kurt noticed the coffee would most likely be cold and the sandwich warm. He was trying so hard to be understanding, to not take it personal when he'd go a whole day without even three words from Kurt, but it was difficult. He finally understood what Kurt had been afraid of when he'd wanted to get a job, this was miserable. He just kept telling himself over and over that soon Kurt would be done, his clothing line would be in the making and the bonus would calm him down and he'd get his fiancé back. He just had to be patient, he would stay strong. He would forever deny that he'd cried himself to sleep staring at Kurt's spot on the bed trying to stay quiet so Kurt didn't hear him, despite the fact that this entire situation was killing him, Blaine would admit most of all he was just so WORRIED about Kurt. Who was barely sleeping, barely eating, and looking progressively more haggard as each day went by. He hadn't even been doing his face routine, and would go days without shaving or doing his hair. So by the time the fourth of July was about to come up he'd jumped at the chance to get Kurt out of the house, away from him work for even just a few hours and maybe...just maybe...get some desperately needed quality time with his fiancé. So he went ahead and made plans with Santana and Rachel for the four of them to all go out together to see fireworks, and It had taken him three days to convince Kurt not to cancel on Rachel and Santana and go out with them for the Fourth of July, but Blaine refused to back down and finally got him to agree.
Hearing the shower shut off Blaine looked up to see Kurt tiredly making his way into the bedroom with a towel around his waist. He has dark circles under his eyes, was paler than usual. Blaine frowned and stood up walking over to Kurt and putting his arms around him; Kurt sagged into the hug and just rested his head on Blaine's shoulder causing a pang of guilt to hit Blaine, maybe going out wasn't the best idea? Maybe they should just...stay home and sleep? That would be a good enough compromise for him at this point, spending a few hours cuddled up with Kurt while he finally got some sleep they both knew he needed.
"Baby you're exhausted...we don't need to go, how about I call Rachel and we can just stay home and you can get some rest?" Blaine asked softly running his hands up and down Kurt's back.
He felt Kurt shake his head and mumble a sleepy "No I've kept you cooped up in this apartment too long, we'll go out B, I know I've been neglecting you lately. I'm sorry" he said pressing a kiss to Blaine's shoulder.
"It's fine Kurt, I understand, this is your job...your dream, I get it, I do...I'm just...so worried about you. You've been neglecting YOURSELF, your barely sleeping...you only eat when I force you too and let's face it we both know I'm a shitty cook so I know you aren't getting the proper nutrients you need. I'm worried that's all. It kills me watching you work yourself into the ground and not being able to do anything to help you. I feel so useless right now, and to be honest...I miss you" Blaine said and Kurt lifted his head to smile sadly at Blaine and lean forward to press their lips together, his heart breaking a little when Blaine melted into the kiss and returned it almost desperately and he tried to remember the last time he'd even properly kissed his fiancé, when they broke apart Blaine was blushing lightly and breathing harder clinging to Kurt's shoulders as if he were afraid Kurt would pull away from him.
"You do help, just by being hereyou help. I'm sorry I've made you so worried, I'll try harder to take care of myself from now on ok? I promise, and once all of this is over and the designs are in things will be better, there's just...a lot going on right now with work, the car, the wedding, us needing a bigger place, Catherine planning all these interviews....just...everything. But for tonight we'll go out with our friends, and I'll be Kurt the fiancé instead of Kurt the designer and when we get home I'm all yours okay? No more work tonight I promise"
The happy and hopeful smile Blaine gave him was so worth taking the night off, even though he honestly just wanted to stay home in sleep he knew Blaine had been excited about hanging out with their friends and getting out of the apartment so he'd just suck it up for a few hours and when they got home they could cuddle in bed and sleep for the rest of the night. He finished getting ready and when they got the text that Santana and Rachel were outside they locked up their apartment and left to meet up with the girls. After exchanging happy hello's they all piled into the car and Kurt leaned his head against Blaine's shoulder and closed his eyes figuring he'd rest a bit until they got there. He never noticed the looks of concern both Rachel and Santana cast him and Blaine just nodded slightly at them with a sigh and pressed a gentle kiss to Kurt's forehead. Less than a minute later Kurt was fast asleep and Rachel turned in her seat to address Blaine.
"Blaine what's going on with Kurt? He looks dead on his feet...Is he ok?" she whispered softly frowning slightly as she took in how worn out Kurt actually looked.
Blaine shook his head and sighed, maneuvering himself so he could pull Kurt to sleep against his chest and wrap his arms around him; Kurt didn't even notice he was so asleep. "Not really...he's over worked, he's exhausted, he's barely eating...I've been so worried about him...we talked about it though before we left and he agreed to put the work aside for tonight so he could get a good night's sleep... and we could just spend some time together. He's been so stressed out lately, he's making himself sick, and I don't know how to help him, we've barely even spoken to each other the last few weeks he's been so consumed with his work, I just...I don't know how to help him right now"
"Geez...Porc looks like hell, I'm glad he's sleeping...are you sure you guys want to come out tonight? I can turn around and drop you back at home so he can rest?" Santana asked and Blaine shook his head. "I asked him if he wanted to stay home tonight, but he said he wanted to come out, I'm thinking maybe we just don't stay late, we'll take a cab back if we need to" he responded and Santana nodded "It's alright, we can leave early that's fine, I just wanted us to hang out, we haven't seen or talked to you guys in what feels like forever, so it doesn't matter to me how long" she said with a shrug.
Once they got there, Blaine hesitated before waking Kurt up; this was the first time he'd seen him sleep in weeks, after a moment of debating the girl's got out of the car and the sound of the car door jarred Kurt awake taking away Blaine's choice in the matter. Kurt sat up slowly and rubbed his eyes blinking blearily in an effort to wake up. "Are we here?" he asked with a yawn and Blaine nodded "We're here...babe...are you sure you want to do this? We can go home..." he started but Kurt cut him off with a shake of his head "Nope, we're gonna go watch fireworks, I'm not letting the fact that I'm tired ruin our holiday" he said and Blaine gave a heavy sigh before getting out of the car and holding his hand out for Kurt. They caught up with the girls, who were talking quietly amongst themselves shooting concerned looks at Kurt every once in a while. They were all standing together looking up at the sky as the fireworks started and Blaine was having a hard time paying attention because he noticed Kurt swaying on his feet slightly and putting a hand to his forehead, shaking his head slightly. "Kurt? Baby are you ok?" Blaine asked turning towards Kurt just as he said "Blaine...I- I don't-" and his eyes rolled into the back of his head as he collapsed, Blaine catching him before he could hit the floor. The three panicked and Rachel pulled out her phone to call 911 as Santana and Blaine tried to wake Kurt up. "Kurt? Baby wake up...Kurt please...Kurt?" Blaine said his eyes filling with tears as they spilled down his cheeks. "Ok they are sending an ambulance" Rachel said in a shaking voice kneeling next to Kurt and holding his hand. Santana didn't seem to be able to speak as she stared wide eyed at Kurt's face her hand on his chest taking comfort in the feel of his chest rising and falling albeit his breathing was off. When the ambulance pulled up they loaded Kurt onto the stretcher and Blaine followed behind completely ignoring the man who tried to stop him from getting in the back with Kurt and just held up his left hand so he could see the ring not taking his eyes off Kurt the entire time as he sat watching as they attached the oxygen mask to his face. Rachel yelled before the doors shut that they'd follow in Santana's car and they were off to the hospital. Three hours later Kurt was in his own room with Blaine sitting next to his bed holding his hand, his eyes red and puffy. Rachel and Santana had gone to get some coffee for the three of them and call Kurt's dad with an update, he asked Rachel to also call Kurt's grandmother simply handing her his phone saying "Call Grace Hamilton, Kurt's grandma, let her know what happened". On the way to the hospital Kurt had experience a slight mild seizure scaring Blaine to death. According to the doctor it was a combination of Exhaustion, stress, mild dehydration and malnourishment that caused this. In short, Kurt's self-neglect had caught up with him. Blaine was torn between being worried and terrified for his fiancé and being FURIOUS with both Kurt and himself. He'd been worried, he'd been so worried and Kurt had ended up in the hospital, how did he not realize just HOW BAD it had gotten? How did Kurt not realize he was pushing himself too hard? He was going to be in here for a few days now on an IV, being forced to rest, rehydrate and eat. Catherine and Jean Paul were just going to have to wait because Blaine wasn't going to let Kurt lift a finger for at least a week after he got out of the hospital, they'd just have to extend the time and deal with it.
"Kurt...you have no idea how scared I was tonight...if you ever do this to yourself again...I don't know what I'll do but you won't like it...I love you Kurt...I love you so much" He whispered running a hand through Kurt's hair while he slept peacefully and leaned down to kiss his forehead before sitting back down at his side and taking his hand. Santana walked back in with two coffees in hand and a phone held between her shoulder and ear while she talked to Kurt's dad, she handed Blaine his coffee and handed him the phone saying 'Burt wants to talk to you' and he took the phone standing up letting Santana take his spot.
"Hey Burt" He said with a sigh
"Hey kid...how's he doing?" He asked
"He's still asleep; they have him on an IV to get him rehydrated and put some nutrients back in his system, his heart and breathing has regulated, they say he probably won't wake up till tomorrow night at the earliest...his body is just...exhausted and its forcing him to sleep...Jesus Burt I'm so sorry...I'm a horrible fiancé I should have done something, I should have made him take care of himself and now he's in the hospital" he said with a sniffle running a hand over his face.
"It's not your fault kid...I know my son, and this isn't your fault ok? You can't force Kurt to do anything he doesn't want to do, at least this way he'll have to slow down...he won't be happy when he gets up...but most of all he'll probably feel guilty...try not to be too hard on him ok? When he realizes what happened he's going to feel horrible, and he doesn't like hospitals...not since his mom, so staying in one isn't going to be easy on him. Don't forget to take care of yourself too kid ok? We care about you just as much. I'll let you go, get some rest, don't forget to eat. Call me in the morning ok?" Burt said.
"Alright I will, I promise...and Burt?" Blaine said shakily
"Yea?"
"Thank you."
"Don't mention it, goodnight kiddo. Look after my boy for me"
"Will do, goodnight Burt" he said and he hung up turning back to Santana and handed her the phone, thanking her, she got up to let him sit back down and pulled up another chair to sit next to him as Rachel walked in. "Ok I talked to Kurt's grandmother, told her everything and she said she'll be here tomorrow...she wouldn't take no for an answer, she insisted she come to 'take care of her grandsons' because she doesn't think you will take care of yourself either with Kurt in here." She said handing Blaine his phone which he put in his pocket with a small smile, he may not want to admit it, but he would definitely appreciate Grandma Hamilton being here, it'd be easier for the both of them, especially when Kurt woke up knowing how he felt about hospitals.
*K&B*K&B*K&B*K&B*
The next day around dinner time Blaine was asleep in a chair next to Kurt's bed his hand still holding Kurt's securely. Grandma Hamilton had showed up that morning and had taken up watch for Blaine so he could head back to his and Kurt's apartment to brush his teeth, shower, shave, change his clothes, and pack a bag for Kurt with all his skin care products, his toothbrush, his razor and a change of clothes for when he came home, he made sure to pack up his computer and a couple of Kurt's favorite movies for when he woke up. On his way back to the hospital he stopped to get Kurt a bouquet of flowers hoping it would make the room seem less depressing and sad.
When Kurt opened his eyes the first thing he realized was he didn't know where he was, he looked around the room in confusion and mild panic only made slightly better when his eyes landed on his fiancé who was asleep sitting up holding his hand. When he heard footsteps he glanced towards the door surprised to see his grandmother walk in with what looked like a cup of either coffee or tea, when she realized he was awake she rushed over to him.
"You're awake!" She said happily reaching out and holding onto his hand, she explained to him what happened and why. At the sound of Grace's voice Blaine jerked awake and went wide eyed when he realized Kurt was awake and scrambled up to hug him and burrowed his face into Kurt's neck taking Kurt by surprise with his enthusiasm. "Oh my gosh...you're awake...Kurt...I just..." He said and Kurt brow furrowed when he felt Blaine start trembling against him and heard him start sniffling and broke out into sobs against Kurt's chest, and Kurt shot his grandmother a concerned look and she just mouthed 'talk to him' and walked out of the room to give them some alone time.
"Blaine? Baby?" Kurt said softly and Blaine pulled away wiping at his eyes embarrassed and Kurt pulled on his arm motioning for him to climb up next to him on the bed. "I'm sorry...I was...you collapsed Kurt...you collapsed in my arms, I couldn't wake you up...you had a seizure in the ambulance...I've never been so scared in my life...promise me, PLEASE promise me you will take better care of yourself...I don't ever want to go through this again" Blaine said tucking himself into Kurt's side and holding his hand. Kurt hushed him soothingly "I'm sorry sweetheart...I'm so sorry...I can't even imagine how that must have felt...if it had been you...I'd have been losing my mind, I promise baby...I'll take better care of myself ok? Never again. I'm right here, and I'm ok it's all going to be alright" Kurt said squeezing his hand lightly. He was already getting tired again, but he didn't want to fall asleep without reassuring Blaine that he wouldn't ever let himself get like this again. By the time Grace walked back into the room both boys were asleep on the bed, Blaine curled up against Kurt's side and Kurt's head nuzzled into his hair while they held hands. She grinned and took out her phone and snapped a picture to send to Burt, she'd called him while she was giving the boys time to talk to let him know Kurt had woken up and was alright, covering them with a blanket she sat herself down with her tea and a book and set to reading her book while keeping a watchful eye over the two.
When Blaine woke up he sheepishly slipped out of the bed so the nurse could check Kurt's vitals. She let them know he was doing great and should be able to go home in 2-3 days tops much to their relief. The next morning had Kurt and Blaine lying together once again in bed watching movies on Blaine's laptop while Kurt ate his breakfast. Grandma Hamilton had gone to their apartment to get some sleep since she'd stay up most the night watching over both Kurt and Blaine. They had talked more this morning and Blaine assured Kurt he already called Catherine and had a...talk...with her about over working him when she knew how crazy things had been with the wedding coming up etc. Catherine had agreed to push the deadline and give Kurt more time, apologized for working him too hard and asked Blaine to please give Kurt her love and let him know she was thinking about him and hoping he was doing well. They'd also had a nice long conversation about Kurt and his health and dealing with stress, taking time to eat and sleep and spend time together and Kurt promised that things would be different. A few days later the two said their goodbye's to Grandma Hamilton and to their surprise loaded their stuff into Kurt's car that she'd had fixed while she was in town, she'd called Burt and talked about everything that had been stressing out Kurt and the minute she heard about the car she'd taken it upon herself to get it fixed for the boys just to make things a little easier, and after having spent a few nights in their apartment she now understood what they meant by lack of space, she herself had almost fallen more than once do to boxes so her new goal after the car had been convincing the Hudmels and Anderson's to tell the boy's about the house or let them move in early, especially after Kurt ended up in the hospital due to the stress and the strain on their relationship. It didn't take too much convincing apparently because everyone had agreed that just for the sake of their sanity and health giving Kurt and Blaine their wedding gift early would be the best idea. So that weekend both parents decided to fly up to tell them and show them the house, and to check on the two of them as well and make sure they were alright after the hospital fiasco.
Driving back to their apartment in Kurt's (Thankfully) fixed car, Blaine once again went over the doctor's rule's with Kurt about 'taking it easy' and reminding him that just because he was out of the hospital it didn't mean he could go right back to old habits to which Kurt just grabbed Blaine's hand and squeezed it slightly before promising to listen and follow the rules. Upon entering their apartment and setting their stuff in the bedroom Kurt decided he desperately needed a real shower and Blaine told him to go ahead and get it ready but he'd be joining him just in case he got dizzy, while Kurt went to turn on the shower Blaine walked into the kitchen noticing a note on the counter from Kurt's grandmother saying that she had made a couple dinner's for them and put them in the freezer, as well as one in the fridge for tonight so all they needed to do was heat them up and along with that she gave instructions on how long each dish needed to cook and at what heat. He swore this woman got better and better, next time he saw her he was going to give her flowers or something just to let her know how much they appreciated her. He pulled out what looked like some sort of casserole from the fridge and popped it into the oven before heading back into the bathroom to join Kurt who was just taking off his clothes when Blaine entered. Blaine's eyes raked down his loves body and he barely withheld a groan, he had a hard time remembering exactly when the last time he had seen and touched Kurt's body. Stripping off his own clothes quickly he came up behind Kurt and wrapped his arms around his waist loving the way Kurt shivered against him as their bare skin met before turning in Blaine's arms to kiss him gently and pulled him into the shower under the stream of hot water. Blaine spent the majority of their shower helping Kurt wash up, as much as he wished he could say he was just trying to be helpful, he honestly just missed touching his fiancé. He wasted no time in lathering up Kurt's skin caressing every inch of it lovingly, when he shampooed and conditioned Kurt's hair he took his time massaging Kurt's scalp, throughout his ministrations Kurt's breathing had deepened and his hands had come up to grip Blaine's hips in an effort to pull them together but Blaine kept his distance. Once he was finished and had rinsed them both off, he lead Kurt out of the shower and proceeded to dry him off with a towel before leading him into their bed room and pulling back the covers motioning for Kurt to get in a lay down.
"I take that as you being against clothes at the moment?" Kurt asked sleepily but slipping under the covers none the less.
"Yep, we're going to be naked for the rest of the night. Now why don't you just rest for a bit while I go grab us some dinner ok? And how about a cup of tea?" Blaine asked running a hand through Kurt's damp hair, smiling as Kurt leaned into his touch immediately and nodded against his palm.
Blaine moved into the kitchen swiftly and set to making both himself and Kurt a cup of tea before he pulled their dinner out of the oven and served out good sized portions into bowls, Kurt's was slightly smaller than his but since he was trying to get his body used to regular meals again it would have to do for now. He grabbed them both forks and stared at the food for a moment trying to figure out the best way to carry it into the bedroom before he remembered they had a tray, he loaded up the tray and moved carefully back into the bedroom and set it on the dresser grabbing Kurt's tea off it and moving to give it to him, Kurt was half asleep and he shook him awake so they could eat together before bed. There would be NO skipping meals with Blaine around, no exceptions; he'd be eating three meals a day if Blaine had to feed him himself. Kurt sat up tiredly and accepted the cup graciously taking a drink and sighing happily at the taste while Blaine grabbed their bowls and brought them over handing one to Kurt while he situated himself next to him on the bed under the covers. Kurt looked at the bowl in his hand with a brow raise and glanced at Blaine "Honey...don't take this the wrong way but how in the hell did you manage to make this?" he ask slowly and Blaine let out a chuckle "I didn't your grandma left us some prepared meals so all I have to do is put them in the oven" he admitted taking a bite of the unfairly delicious food. Understanding dawned on Kurt's face and he nodded taking a bite of his own, they ate in relative silence and once they were finished Blaine collected their bowls and placed them back on the tray, when he turned around he saw Kurt still sitting up in bed trailing his eyes over Blaine body, causing him to grin slightly as he walked back to the bed and got under the cover's with him. He closed his eyes and feigned falling asleep and couldn't restrain the laugh he let out at Kurt's disappointed groan, when he opened his eyes he was met face to face with his beautiful fiancé who was giving him a look that said 'REALLY? You want to sleep?' and he grinned cheekily at him "What? I thought you were tired? Didn't you want to sleep babe?" Blaine said amusedly and Kurt moved closer to him placing a hand on his chest and tracing it slightly while he pressed his hips and already half hard erection into Blaine's thigh "I suddenly have a lot of energy and sleep is the last thing on my mind" he murmured. Blaine maneuvered himself so that he and Kurt were flush against one another, chest to chest, groin to groin and slid a hand down Kurt's back and over he ass which he squeezed slightly before pulling Kurt's leg up over his own and slid his leg between Kurt's. Kurt once against ground his hips into Blaine and they both let out a breathy moan at the sensation of their arousals sliding against one another, Kurt wrapped his arms around Blaine's shoulders and pulled his face closer so that he could kiss him, the kissed slowly, taking their time to explore one another's mouths, Kurt nipped and sucked at Blaine's lips before working his mouth down to Blaine's neck so he could suck a dark love bite into the skin there, it'd been a while since he'd given his fiancé a hickey, he wouldn't lie and say he didn't love seeing the evidence of their love making on Blaine's skin after the fact or take secret pleasure in watching Blaine run a finger over the mark with a small smile when he thought Kurt wasn't watching. They moved against each other at a torturous pace coming against one another with their lips locked together whispering words of love and in Kurt's case apologies.
"Baby...I'm so sorry" Kurt whispered brokenly against Blaine's lips but Blaine shook his head and pecked him twice tightening his arms around Kurt's waist for a moment.
"It's ok Kurt" He assured him.
"It's not Blaine...we're engaged, we love each other and I don't even remember the last time we did this, up till the fourth of July I couldn't remember the last time I even KISSED you properly, all because I was working too hard, I swear I won't ever ignore you again, I fought you so hard on getting a job because I was afraid of exactly what happened, only to turn around and do it to you, I promise from now on I will never go a day without kissing you and holding you and telling you that I love you ok? We won't ever go another night without sleeping in each other's arms, I don't care what is going on or how stressed out I am at work, I won't ever do this to you or to US again" Kurt promised and Blaine gave him a soft smile and nodded kissing him once more before he twisted so he could lay his head on Kurt's chest with Kurt's arms wrapped around him.
"Good...I missed you...I missed us" he whispered softly closing his eyes and just breathing in Kurt's scent while he listened to his heartbeat.
"I love you Blaine. More than anything, more than this job, more than New York, all of it, I love you and I promise I won't ever take you for granted again"
"I love you too Kurt, more than anything"
"Goodnight B"
"G'night love"
and with that the two drifted off to sleep with a warm feeling of contentment in their chests.
