The Other Hummel

Masquerade

Blaine opened his eyes, checked the alarm-clock and smiled. Then, he turned around and began nuzzling his boyfriend's sleeping form neck's:

"Good morning. Rise and shine, beautiful one."

Kurt groaned and pulled the covers over his head:

"I don't want to wake up..."

"But it's your special day, birthday-boy."

Kurt's glowing face appeared flashing a huge grin:

"It is!"

Blaine chuckled amused: his boyfriend turned into a spoiled child on his birthday. Kurt was passing his arms around Blaine's neck:

"Do I get to open my present now?"

"Who said I've bought you a present?"

Kurt gave him a smoldering look:

"We both know you did."

"Okay; I did. But you won't get it until tonight."

Kurt let go of his neck falling back on the bed with a pout. Blaine laughed which only made the other boy grumpier. Blaine lay by his side and began to trace patterns on Kurt's chest:

"Don't be like that. It's a big one; I promise. Besides, you'll have the big party you wanted. It will be the hot topic all around New York tomorrow."

Kurt smiled and pulled him up for a kiss:

"I guess this will be a happy birthday indeed. And the best present life has already given me: you and your love. We could just lie in bed for the rest of the day and it would still be the most joyful birthday in my whole life."

"As tempting as it sounds; we both have to be at the university today. And then I'll have to leave you to your friends and family for a few hours to make sure everything is running smoothly to your masquerade party tonight at Callbacks."

Kurt tilted his head back with a pleasant grin:

"It's like I'm living a dream: I'm turning 20 living in the city were dreams are made with my gorgeous wonderful boyfriend, my father is healthy again, I'm studying in the best university and I have a marvelous job, not to mention that I have my brother and cousin living near me. To top it all up; I'm throwing a big costume party tonight to which most of my friends from all over the country have promised to come. I'm the luckiest guy in the world!"

Blaine grinned proud of him:

"I love you so much."

"I love you too. You know what I love the most about you? It's that you can't keep secrets from me."

Blaine got up laughing not after having tickled Kurt in his most sensitive spots:

"Nice try; but I'm not telling you what your present is until tonight."

"Come on, Blee! I know you're up to something!"

"Yes, I am. I'm up now to make you breakfast. Join me in the kitchen in ten, will you?"

Kurt groaned a little upset and dove back on the pillows. Blaine smiled at the lovely sight. He went humming to the kitchen and kept it up while cooking. Sure Kurt was suspicious; but he had teamed up with the best to help him: Finn, Louisa and Burt. And Kurt wasn't even suspicious that Burt and Carole were flying in this weekend. Everything was going as planned.
