Kurt spent the rest of the day dancing around his room and singing at the top of his lungs. He went to sleep with a smile on his face. He woke up and the smile hadn’t faltered. Kurt knew Blaine had to work today but that didn’t mean he couldn’t go to the beach and watch the sexy lifeguard right?

Kurt packed a bag, grabbed Finn and headed out the door. Kurt made sure to pick a spot on the beach easily visible from the lifeguard station. Finn set the cooler in the shade under the umbrella and took off for the water. Kurt on the other hand hung back and decided to just enjoy the view.

From his seat he could see Blaine and another male lifeguard leaning over the wooden rail surveying the beach, making sure no one was in trouble. I could get used to this Kurt thought. He let his thoughts drift and only a little while later Kurt was shaken from his thoughts by an ear splitting scream.

Kurt stood, looking around for the source. He heard it again and whipped his head towards the lifeguards. A mom was screaming and pointing at the water while the other lifeguard listened intently. Kurt followed her finger and saw a little boy probably around five or six being drug out to sea and going under every few seconds.

Kurt knew from watching enough of Vacation’s Gone Wild to know that the boy was being sucked under by a Rip Current. He turned his head towards the lifeguard station once again and was frozen by the site of Blaine with the red plastic thing slung over his shoulder running towards the ocean. Not only were there apparent rip currents, the waves were the biggest Kurt had seen them this summer.

Blaine dove under and swam as fast as he could towards the little boy. Blaine didn’t want to have to fight the waves so he went under them instead. Kurt didn’t see Blaine surface until he was what looked to be around five feet away from the little boy. Blaine swam as fast as he could, reaching the little boy in no time.

He pulled the kid above the surface of the water. Blaine noticed the boy wasn’t breathing on his own. He put the boy on his shoulders and made his way back to shore. Blaine checked for a pulse and Kurt was relieved when he saw Blaine relax a little, indicating that the boy was indeed alive.

Kurt saw the other lifeguard on duty hand Blaine some sort of mask as he sunk down next to the boy as well. Kurt heard the mom yelling from somewhere to the right of him but was intently watching Blaine, not able to pull his eyes away.

Blaine tilted the boy’s chin towards the sky and put the mask over the boy’s mouth. Once Blaine was sure it was in place properly Kurt saw him place his mouth on the other end. Kurt was confused at first but as soon as Blaine released a breath into the mask and saw the boy’s chest rise, he knew what it was for. Blaine removed his mouth and did ten to fifteen compressions on his chest. Kurt couldn’t be sure of the number; he has lost count, to distracted by everything going on.

Blaine checked his pulse, went back and placed his mouth back on the mask and breathed again. After He did another 15 compressions and the kid coughed. The other lifeguard removed the mask from his face. Blaine rolled the boy on his side and let him cough up the water that was in his lungs.

The mom of the boy was by his side in an instant. She was crying and hugging him to her chest. Blaine was panting heavily, trying to control his breathing. The mother let go of her son and pulled Blaine into a tight embrace as well. She was crying and thanking him over and over again, asking if there was anything she could do for him.

Blaine being who he is politely told the mom “The only thing I want is for you to take your son home and make him rest.” Blaine patted the boy on the back and gathered his equipment.

During the whole ordeal Kurt felt his heart swell with so many emotions for the young lifeguard. He couldn’t believe how brave and humble he was about the entire thing. Kurt could not wrap his head around the fact that Blaine just saved some little boy’s life right in front of him without even realizing he was there. Blaine was just as amazing in front of Kurt as he was when he wasn’t.

Once the crowd of people had dispersed he looked for Finn and saw him floating on his back in the water and decided to leave him in search of Blaine. Kurt walked over to the station, climbed the ramp and softly knocked on the door.

Kurt didn’t wait for an answer and quietly opened the door. When he poked his head inside he saw Blaine sitting with his hands in his head and his eyes closed. Kurt’s heart broke at the scene. Blaine should be on top of the world but instead he looked to be at the bottom.

Kurt crept quietly over to Blaine, sat down on the bed next to him and started to rub soothing circles on his back. “You know what you did out there was amazing right?” Kurt whispered in his ear. Blaine didn’t look up just shrugged his shoulders. “I am serious Blaine, you saved that kid’s life. That is something amazing, not everyone is brave enough to do what you just did. I am one of those people. I could never do that. You did, and that kid is alive because of it.” Blaine looked up at Kurt and that is when Kurt noticed that he had tears running down his cheeks.

“I’m not that amazing Kurt. I’m really not.” Blaine went to open his mouth again but decided against it and put his head down again. “You can tell me Blaine, you know you can.” Kurt stopped rubbing his back and instead lay down on the bed, pulling Blaine with him.

Once Blaine was lying with his head on Kurt’s chest and his arm wrapped securely around his waist he relaxed a little. Kurt was drawing little patterns on his arm and whispering sweet nothings to him.

“I was 15 when it happened. I had only been a lifeguard for three months when my dad, Cooper and my little brother Destin decided to come see me in action. They were set up around where you usually set your things and just playing around. I saw Cooper and Destin heading towards the water, splashing and throwing sand at each other.” Blaine let sucked in a breath and let it out nice and slow like he was trying to calm himself down. Kurt kept up with rubbing patters over his arm and placing kisses to his head.

“I went inside the station to grab a bottle of water and when I walked back out I saw Cooper looking around frantically in the water. I immediately grabbed a board and headed out. I saw Destin floating about 50 feet away. He had been pulled out by a Rip Current. I swam as fast as I could to him, put him on the board and made my way back to shore.” Kurt could feel the tears starting to roll down his side.

“You don’t have to continue if you don’t want to Blaine. I completely understand.” Kurt pressed another kiss to his scalp and ran his fingers through it to try and calm him down again.

“When I put him on the sand, the first thing I am supposed to do is check for a pulse, do I did. I couldn’t find one. Not wanting it to be true I started giving him mouth to mouth, without the mask. My dad and brother were in hysterics as I kept up the rhythm, pump 15 times because he is under 12, and breath, check for pulse, pump, breath, check for pulse. I kept it up for 30 minutes until the paramedics arrived. He was pronounced dead two minutes later.” Blaine was sobbing and clutching Kurt so tightly Kurt was sure he would have bruises.

“You do know it isn’t your fault right?” Kurt asked and Blaine stayed silent. “Oh Blaine it isn’t your fault. It would have happened no matter who was on duty.” Kurt was pulling Blaine closer, if that was even possible.

“But it is Kurt. I went inside to get some water. If I hadn’t done that, I would have seen Destin get dragged under and I would have gotten to him sooner. I shouldn’t have gone inside. I was the only guard on duty and I broke the rules. It cost my brother his life.” Blaine’s sobs hadn’t calmed down yet.

“Blaine look at me. Look at me.” Kurt pulled Blaine up so they were face to face with each other and looked him straight in the eye “It is not your fault Blaine. You needed water and it was not your fault the rip current was strong and he got caught up in it. You did what you could. You didn’t give up until the paramedics forced you. You did everything you could. Is it tragic? Yes, but it is in no way your fault. Destin knows that and so does your family.”

Blaine looked at Kurt with a look of complete adoration mixed with gratitude. Blaine couldn’t form coherent sentences so he did the one thing he knew would get his feelings across: He pulled Kurt into a kiss that was perfect for the moment; slow and gentle. Kurt licked at Blaine’s bottom lip and nipped at it before pulling away.

“My family does blame me Kurt. Actually only my dad does, Cooper blames himself. Destin was only nine years old. He was so young. He had so much to look forward to in the future. He wanted to be a firefighter. It wasn’t just some little kid dream of his. It was the only dream he ever had. Every Halloween he was one. If my dad tried to make him be something else he would cry or sit facing a corner until he was allowed to be it.” Blaine laughed at the memory. He could clearly see Destin sitting in the corner of the living room, ignoring everyone until their father would pat him on the back and hand him the helmet to his costume.

Kurt sat up and brought Blaine with him. Kurt was still holding Blaine close as Blaine calmed down a little. “Tell me about him.” Kurt stated intertwining his fingers with Blaine’s. “What?” Blaine pulled back and looked at Kurt. “Tell me about Destin” Kurt stated again. “I feel like you haven’t really had anyone to talk to about him, so tell me about him.”

Blaine cuddled close to Kurt and began. “Destin was born when I was 6. I had always wanted a younger sibling, just so I wouldn’t be the baby anymore. I wanted someone to look up to me, and I got my wish. As he grew up he always said he wanted to be just like me. He wanted to sing just like me. He soon found out he couldn’t sing on key to save his life. Since Coop was already older and out of the house by the time he was 5, I always got to hang out and play with him. We would spend hours playing firefighter. He would save me from a burning building and be the hero. Then we would bake apple coffee cake and eat half of it while we watched Disney movies.” Blaine was smiling at the memories. It made Kurt feel like he was starting to get over the events of the day.

“When he got older, around seven or eight we would come to the beach and build huge sand forts. We would build up the walls and have sand ball fights. It’s Florida so we can’t do snowball fights. He thought it was the coolest thing in the world at the time. We would arrive home covered head to toe with sand. Our dad would make us hose off outside before he would let us in. We spent hours under the hose by the end of summers.”

Blaine chuckled, making Kurt’s heart soar with affection for the older boy in his arms. “His favorite though was just coming to the beach and surfing. He was pretty good for his age. He could stand on the board before he was seven and was riding better than all of his friends in less than two months. He was the most hyperactive kid I have ever known. I joked that we should get his tested for ADHD. He didn’t have it but I liked to make fun of him. He also loved everyone unconditionally. I actually came out to him before anyone else. He just hugged me and told me that he had to meet my boyfriends before anyone else. He was an amazing little kid and I miss him everyday.” Blaine was crying but had a smile plastered on his face.

Kurt held Blaine close and after a few minutes he spoke. “I lost my mom when I was eight you know. I came home from school and my dad was sitting on the couch with my grandparents. They told me she had to go away and be with the angels. I didn’t understand at first but then they explained to me that I would never be seeing her again and I remember I just ran to my room and cried for hours, not letting anyone see me.”

Blaine shuffled away and looked up at Kurt. “You don’t have to tell me right now Kurt, I want to know, but not right now. I know it’s painful and when you want to talk I will be here.” Blaine leaned forward and placed a light kiss to his lips.

“Ok since this has been the most depressing afternoon of the entire summer I should go and try to find Finn and you should get back to work. It’s been about an hour and the other guy is probably wondering where you are.” Kurt stood up and stretched, giving Blaine one last soft kiss before he headed back onto the beach.

Blaine wiped his eyes, and finished putting the equipment back in its rightful place before returning to his duty. When he walked back out onto the deck the other boy spoke up. “Are you ok Blaine? It took longer than normal to return to work.” Blaine just nodded. “Yeah everything is fine Clayton. I talked to Kurt and helped me with everything.” Clayton just patted him on the back and went to get something to drink.

Blaine was sitting with his legs dangling off the side carefully watching the water. It just so happens that Kurt and Finn are joking around in said water. Every few seconds Blaine would catch Kurt looking over in his direction, quickly shake his head and return to his ‘fight’ with Finn.

After a few minutes Blaine noticed Kurt heading back to the shore. Blaine couldn’t focus on anything except the way Kurt’s muscles moved as he dried himself off with a towel. He must have been staring for a while because Clayton nudged him in the ribs and gave him a pointed look. Blaine shrugged his shoulders and went to get something to eat out of the mini fridge inside.

Blaine must have been gone longer than he thought because when he went back out on the deck Kurt was gone. He tried to not look too disappointed so he just went back to looking out at the water. Not even thirty seconds later he heard someone clear his throat from below.

Blaine looked down and a smile appeared on his face. “You know I saw you paying me a lot of attention today, I am sure the other beach goers were feeling left out.” Kurt smirked at him and let out a small chuckle. “Actually it was Finn I was paying attention to. He has the dumb football player thing going on, totally hot.” Blaine tried to keep a straight face for as long as possible but he just couldn’t: both boys laughed loudly at this.

“I understand I did have a crush on him my freshman and sophomore year. Even got our parents together so I could spend more time with him.” Kurt shrugged a looked over a Finn trying to carry everything and failing miserably. Blaine sat, eyes wide, looking at Kurt. “You had a crush on Finn?” Blaine asked. “Yeah, I’d rather not talk about my horrible taste back then, luckily it has improved a lot since then.” Kurt said and shot a wink in Blaine’s direction.

Blaine smiled and jumped down next to Kurt. “Well I am glad I am a step above Finn.” Blaine took a step towards Kurt. “You are more than a step above Finn, try like twenty-five steps above Finn.” Kurt took a step towards Blaine. “Just twenty-five, that doesn’t seem like such an improvement.” Blaine took another step towards Kurt. “Ok maybe you are farther above Finn than that.” Kurt didn’t take a step forward this time.

Blaine was about to take the final step towards Kurt when Kurt spoke up. “Go out with me.” Blaine didn’t know what to say, he cocked his head to the side a little. “Like on a date, one that I plan and pay for.” Kurt explained. “Ok” Blaine replied, not sure his voice would work otherwise. He was used to paying for everything because he knew he can, he had never had a guy pursue him or ask him out.

“Good, I will pick you up tomorrow at ten am. I expect to meet your brother when I get there.” Kurt started backing away, turning fully away after about ten steps and a tentative wave towards Blaine. All Blaine did was wave back and let a goofy grin spread across his face.

Kurt waited until he was out of sight of Blaine before he let panic encase him. He had never set a date up before. Sure other guys, including Blaine had planned dates for him but he was never the one who had done the planning.

He set to work immediately after arriving home, with just a microscopic amount of help from his aunt Kalee.

0o0o0o

Kurt woke up the next morning dressed in dark wash denim jeans, a purple V-neck shirt that fit him snuggly, and all black vans. He was disappointed he couldn’t wear what he would back in Ohio because it decided to be nine hundred degrees out in Kurt’s opinion. He finished the look with Black ray bans and his signature quaff hairstyle. Once he was completely satisfied he figured he should get things ready and pack the car.

Kurt arrived at Blaine’s house ten minutes early. Kurt spent a few minutes just looking at the sheer size of the house. He had no idea how well off Blaine was. He took a few calming breaths before he ran the door at exactly ten.

The door opened and he was greeted by, what can only be described as, a very excited puppy. Kurt noticed that the bouncing man standing in front of him with the biggest smile he had ever seen was the same guy he saw Blaine with at the store.

“You must be Kurt” the man couldn’t contain his excitement and grabbed Kurt and brought him into a hug. “You must be Cooper” Kurt replied while struggling to breathe. “Coop, don’t squish him, he hasn’t even made it in the door yet.” Blaine said, appearing next to Cooper.

“Calm down squirt, I wasn’t going to hurt him.” Cooper released Kurt and took a few steps back. “Hi” Blaine said, a silly grin on his face and he took in Kurt’s appearance. “Hey yourself, so are you going to let me in?” Kurt lifted his eyebrows at Blaine. “Actually, I changed my mind, you guys can sit down and talk another day, Cooper is to excited right now, he might pee himself if we don’t leave now.” Blaine grabbed his sunglasses and stepped outside.

Kurt took one last glance at Cooper just to see him go from shaking with excitement to walking away with his shoulders slumped and a rejected look on his face. Kurt couldn’t hold back the snicker that forced its way out. Blaine pulled Kurt into a hug and Kurt couldn’t help but hug him back.

“So where are you taking me?” Blaine asked, pulling away from Kurt and heading towards the Jeep. “Well if I told you, then it wouldn’t be a surprise, thus ruining the entire date.” Kurt rushed over to open the door for Blaine who put his hand to heart and mock swooned at Kurt. “Just get in the car” Kurt said and giggled.

Kurt walked around to the other side and drove off. They sat in a comfortable silence, just letting the wind rush through their hair as they sang along to the songs on Kurt’s iPod.

Kurt snuck a glance at Blaine and when he did, his breath hitched in his throat. It was becoming a common occurrence when he looked at the older man. Kurt was able to finally appreciate the outfit Blaine had chosen.

He was wearing red skinny jeans, white belt, and a black polo with a red, black, and white bowtie. Also he was sporting yellow ray bans. Kurt thought that it shouldn’t have worked but Blaine seemed to pull it off rather well. He was in awe. So much so that the car behind him honked to signal the light they were stopped at had turned green again.

Kurt blushed even though Blaine had no idea what had happened. “So we are heading out of Daytona, care to explain why you are taking me across city borders?” Blaine asked, turning to look at Kurt.

“Well my aunt told me of this place she used to go all the time to just think and be alone and I thought it would be the perfect place to spend the day. It’s about an hour away so sit back and enjoy my company.” Kurt didn’t say anything else on the matter.

For the duration of the car ride they sang along to songs, talked about small things and just enjoyed being around each other.

“We’re here!” Kurt sang while putting the car in park. “Kurt we are in the woods, are you trying to murder me and hide my body without getting caught?” Blaine winked and got out of the car. “I can’t believe you figured it out. Oh well since we are already here might as well go through with it.” Kurt snickered and went around to the trunk.

“Oh a picnic? How sweet, you are going to feed me before you kill me.” Blaine put a hand to his heart, mocking appreciation. “Of course, can’t have you dying on an empty stomach. Now follow me.” Kurt led the way into the woods. Before long the woods opened up into a clearing.

“Wow, this place is beautiful.” Blaine said, looking around in complete awe. “We are not even to the place yet.” Kurt led Blaine to a cave that immediately opened to a pool of crystal clear water. Falling from an opening at the top was a waterfall. Kurt set up the picnic on the ledge of the pool, straight across the waterfall.

“This is seriously amazing Kurt. I can’t believe I didn’t know this existed.” Blaine was still looking around. Once Kurt was finished he walked over to Blaine, who was standing on the ledge just looking at everything. “Lunch is ready.” Kurt tugged on his hand and brought them back to the blanket.

“Ok so I didn’t know what you liked to eat so I made a variety of foods.” Kurt gestured to the blanket that was covered in all sorts of food. Kurt handed Blaine a fork and let him dig into whatever he wanted.

Kurt went for the fruit salad while Blaine went for the pasta salad, then the cheese and crackers, the French bread with some spread he couldn’t get enough of, then finally the deli sandwiches Kurt purchased. “Oh I almost forgot, these are my favorite, I was hoarding them until you were almost full.” Kurt pulled out a container filled with some round food.

“What’s that?” Blaine asked, taking it from Kurt and sniffing. “Those are meatballs with grape jelly and BBQ sauce.” Kurt explained, spearing one with a fork and popping it into his mouth. “Don’t pull that face until you try one.” Kurt stuck another one of the fork and put it up for Blaine to taste. Blaine, though hesitant, took it in his mouth and moaned at the taste. “Told you.” Kurt smirked as he took another meatball into his mouth.

“I have an idea, lets play truth.” Kurt said clapping his hands together. Blaine looked at him confused again. “We ask each other questions and you have no choice but to tell the truth.” Kurt wiped his mouth on a napkin and looked at Blaine waiting for an answer.

“Sure sounds like fun.” Blaine nodded, putting his fork down and thinking of a good first question but Kurt beat him to it. “This is going to sound weird but I am honestly curious. How old are you?” Kurt asked, putting a piece of pineapple into his mouth.

“Oh that’s easy, I am 18. What about you?” Blaine took a grape, threw it up in the air and caught it in his mouth. “Oh well I just turned 17 before I came down here. Ok since you are eighteen does that mean you graduated high school?” Kurt asked.

“Um actually I have, I graduated last year in 2010. You are 17 so you are either old for a junior or young for a senior correct?” Blaine asked. “I will start my senior year in August. Ok you have been out of high school for a year so do you go to college?” Kurt was very curious about this answer.

“Actually I don’t I have offers from colleges that will stand for another three years but I am not sure if college is right for me.” Blaine shrugged popping another grape in his mouth before continuing. “What about you? Any plans for college after high school?” Blaine noticed Kurt’s eyes light up at this question, as if he was eager to discuss it, which he was. It took Blaine all of half a second to figure that out.

“Oh my gosh yes of course! I have planned on going to New York after I graduate since I can remember. I am going to go to NYADA and then take Broadway by storm. I will be the guy everyone wants to cast in their plays.” Kurt said it with such conviction Blaine had no choice but to believe him. “What about you Blaine, what are your dreams?”

Blaine sat and thought for a moment. His dreams had changed too much in the span of the last four years he really didn’t have a clue. “Well I have always really enjoyed singing, I was in Glee club back in high school, I love working with kids, inspiring them to be better and helping them with their problems. I always thought teaching was a possibility, but I know my dad doesn’t really approve of that.” Blaine shrugged.

“Your dad doesn’t want you to be a teacher? Why?” Kurt was shocked; teachers were he closest things to superheroes now a day. “Well he doesn’t think I should spend more money on earning the degree than I would make in a year after I started teaching. He thinks I should be a lawyer or a doctor, something commendable.” Blaine rolled his eyes and looked down at his hands.

“Well if it means anything I think you will be a fabulous teacher some day.” Kurt said smiling at Blaine, causing a smile to form on Blaine’s face as well. Blaine felt his heart flutter and he knew he had it bad and they had only known each other for two weeks.

“Favorite food?” Blaine asked. “You are not going to expect this answer but baby back ribs with a mashed potato and salad.” Kurt was right; Blaine hadn’t expected that answer. “Don’t give me that look Anderson I am still a guy, I like a good hearty meal every now and then. Plus my dad makes the best BBQ I have ever had in my entire life.” Blaine simply nodded.

The game fizzled out soon after and they sat just enjoying each other’s company. “Well now that our food is settled.” Kurt stated and got up. He ran towards the water and did a canon ball. “Come on Anderson don’t leave me in here alone.” Kurt winked and swam to the middle and treaded water. “You don’t know what kind of creatures are living in there Kurt, you could get stung or bitten by something.” Blaine said shaking his head.

“Blaine the water is crystal clear if something is in here we would see it. There is nothing but water in here. Now get your ass in the water.” Kurt said. Blaine just sighed and ran towards the water and dove in headfirst. He came up right in front of Kurt. To his surprise the water was fresh, not a hint of salt to be tasted.

They swam and joked around for a while until they were tired. Once out of the water they remembered one important thing they were soaked to the bone and they didn’t have any extra clothes to change into.

“Well I feel like that wasn’t the smartest idea we have had.” Blaine said, holding back his laughter. “Yeah probably not, but it was extremely fun.” Kurt shrugged his shoulders. It was around three in the afternoon and Kurt decided it was the perfect time for a snack.

“Since we just burnt off our lunch I have a snack for us, if you want it.” Kurt said, rummaging around in the basket. “Yes please, I am actually starving.” Blaine said. He watched with curiosity as Kurt pulled out a bowl of something. “What’s that?” Blaine asked, moving over so he was sitting next to Kurt. “Chocolate covered strawberries.” Kurt took the top off and took one out. “Wait, come here” Blaine said as he moved so he was leaning against the rock next to them. Kurt was confused.

Blaine pulled him so Kurt was sitting between his legs with Kurt facing him. Kurt had his legs bent and overlapping Blaine’s thighs that were flat on the ground. Kurt put the bowl between then and looked up at Blaine. . Blaine took the strawberry from Kurt and held it up for Kurt to take a bite of. Kurt finished it and did the same for Blaine.

“You have a little right there” Blaine said while motioning to his lower lip. Kurt stuck his tongue out to get it but Blaine just laughed and shook his head. “Here let me.” Blaine said while leaning closer and licking it off. Blaine pulled his tongue back into his mouth just seconds before Kurt crashed their lips together.

Blaine quickly moved the bowl from between them and forced Kurt to lie down. Kurt trailed his tongue over Blaine’s bottom lip, asking for entry. Blaine was all too eager to grant access. As soon as their tongues met both boys let out a low moan in the back of their throats. Blaine had his hands gripping Kurt’s hips tightly, sure to leave bruises by the end. Kurt had his hands threaded through Blaine’s wet curls, and tugging lightly.

Blaine moaned again at this and thrust his hips into Kurt’s. Lips still glued together Kurt’s breath hitched, sending Blaine flying off of him. “I am so sorry, I didn’t mean to and I know we aren’t really even together and you probably want to move slow and I don’t want to be THAT guy-“

“Blaine” Kurt said.

“that pressures you into doing things you aren’t ready for. I want us to both be in agreement when it comes-“

“BLAINE” Kurt practically shouted. Blaine shut up immediately. “Thank you, and you didn’t have to stop. If I had wanted you to stop I would have told you.” Kurt said, taking Blaine’s right hand and lacing their fingers together. “And for the not being together part, well I feel like we are. I don’t plan on kissing any other guys this summer. Do you?” Kurt asked.

“I only plan on kissing you.” Blaine said and captured Kurt’s lips in his own. “So with that being said. Kurt Hummel, will you be my boyfriend?” Blaine looked into Kurt’s eyes, searching for any sign of rejection he might have missed.

“First I need to ask, what do you want out of all this Blaine? I am only here until the middle of August; I need to go back to Ohio while you stay in Florida. I don’t want to set myself up for something I can’t handle. I am also not in this for the physical stuff either.” Kurt looked Blaine dead in the eye waiting for an answer.

“I want this Kurt. I want to spend the nights looking up at the stars; I want to spend the day just lounging in your bed watching movies while we talk about nothing and everything at the same time. I want to hold your hand while we walk down the boardwalk. I want everything that comes with this. I want you Kurt, and as long as I have you, I am not letting go.” Blaine leaned in and kissed Kurt softly, making sure not to deepen it. He needed to prove this wasn’t just physical for him.

“I want all of that stuff also Blaine. I want the summer fling that I remember for the rest of my life. I also know that at the end of the summer I will never want to let you go. So after this summer you are stuck with me. We might break up, we might not, either way, you have me forever. You are an amazing person that I want in my life for a very long time. So are you ready for this and everything it comes with?” Kurt asked at the end.

“I am ready Kurt, I am ready to dive head first into this, so Kurt Hummel I will ask again. Will you be my boyfriend?” Blaine smiled at Kurt, hoping he wasn’t going to get rejected after their rants.

“Why Blaine Anderson, I would be delighted.” Kurt said moving in to kiss Blaine again. They kissed slow and lazily for a few minutes until the need for oxygen became too much. When Blaine pulled away he continued to place feather light kisses all over Kurt’s face.

“Well on this day, the tenth of June 2011 I declare us official boyfriends.” Blaine laughed, making Kurt laugh as well before placing a kiss on Kurt’s lips, lingering for just a few seconds before pulling away slowly.

Kurt let out a dreamy sigh as Blaine untangled himself from Kurt and reached for the strawberries. Blaine tried to feed another one to Kurt but he turned his head and shook it. “It’s getting late and we still have a long walk and drive ahead of us.” Kurt shuffled out of the twist of limbs they became and started to pack everything up. Blaine grabbed the basket while Kurt grabbed the blanket.

They made it back to Daytona in record time; no one seemed to be on the roads even though it was only six in the evening.

Kurt pulled up to Blaine’s house and as he put the car in park and shut it off he leant over and gave Blaine another kiss.

“Walk me to the door?” Blaine asked. Kurt just nodded and got out. He grabbed Blaine’s hand as soon as he could. They climbed the front steps and stopped in front of the door.

“I had an amazing time today Kurt. It was the most fun I have had in a while.” Blaine blushed and looked down. “It was my pleasure, I had a great time as well.” Kurt took a step towards Blaine, placing his hand on the back of his neck, threading his fingers through the curls at the base of his neck. This caused Blaine to look up and immediately lock eyes with Kurt.

Both moved at the same time, letting their lips caress each other in a brand new way. It was so full of feelings; Blaine thought that he could float away on a cloud of those feelings. Both boys pulled away out of breath even though the kiss only lasted about thirty seconds. “Goodnight boyfriend” Kurt said, placing one last kiss on his cheek and walking back to the car.

“Goodnight boyfriend” Blaine whispered before disappearing into his house with a smile on his face. Kurt was his boyfriend: boyfriend. Blaine did a happy dance; lucky he had remembered to close the door.

Blaine didn’t make it two feet in the door before Cooper bombarded him with questions. “So how was it? Did you kiss again? Is he your boyfriend now? Do you love him? Why didn’t you let me meet him? Tell me everything.” Cooper pulled Blaine up to his room and sat him down on his bed, Cooper sitting cross-legged across from him holding a pillow in his lap.

If Blaine didn’t know any better he would believe his twenty-six year old brother was really a sixteen year old girl stuck in a grown mans body. Blaine shook his head and just laughed at the goofy, yet adorably lovable expression on his brother’s face.

“I will answer your questions in order ok?” Blaine raised his eyebrows, daring Cooper to object. “Ok so it was amazing, best day of my life so far, yes we kissed again, yes we are officially boyfriends, no I don’t love him, at least not yet, I didn’t let him meet you officially yet because you looked like you wanted to attack him with hugs and questions.” Blaine let out a breath he didn’t know he was holding.

“Aw Squirt is about to have his first love, I am so excited, so tell me, where did he take you?” Cooper asked, leaning forward a little.

“Well he took me to this place about an hour away from here, I don’t know where it is exactly but I could drive there right now if you asked me to, we had a picnic at this secluded cave that had a waterfall in it. It fell straight into a pool of the clearest blue water I have ever seen in my life. We ate and talked. Then we went for a swim, that is why my clothes are wet, and then we fed each other chocolate covered strawberries and made out a little. After I asked him to be my boyfriend and he said yes. We kissed once and then packed up to leave.” Blaine finished with a dreamy expression on his face.

“Wow Blainey, you have it bad, but I can see it makes you happy. I am going to let you get changed and meet you downstairs, I ordered Chinese right before you came home, it should be here soon.” Cooper rustled Blaine’s hair, earning him a slap on the wrist, and walked downstairs.

Blaine ate dinner and watched two movies with Cooper before heading upstairs for bed. He sent Kurt a quick text before falling asleep, dreaming of the blue-eyed beauty that agreed to be his boyfriend.

Sweet dreams love. And incase you were wondering, I miss you. Xoxo -B
