Author's Note: Okay everyone, thank you for all the story favorites and story alerts I got from the last chapter! And my one lone review!

Chapter 2
The sun was shining brightly when the two boys woke again. Kurt cracked his eyes open, wincing at the sore feeling left from last night's crying. He began to sit up when his bedmate moaned in protest, so instead he laid back and turned to look at Blaine. The boy was so beautiful when he slept, his face relaxed, his mouth open slightly, and his hair a mess of loose curls.
Kurt ran his fingers lightly through those curls he loved so much. He smiled softly in delight, remembering the previous night when Blaine had admitted he still loved him. He stayed like that for several minutes before he couldn't ignore his growling stomach anymore. Kurt couldn't recall, but he was pretty sure he hadn't eaten much in the last week. He reluctantly got out of the warm bed and stole some of Blaine's clothes before heading into the bathroom to change.
By the time Blaine woke up and stumbled down the stairs, Kurt had coffee made and breakfast in progress. Kurt's greeting smile fell when he saw the dejected look on the other boy's face.
"What's wrong, Blaine?"
Blaine shook his head, now looking sheepish. "It's nothing, I just… when I woke up, you weren't there. I thought you left, or that maybe last night was just a dream."
Kurt smiled a bit at his explanation. "You didn't see my clothes on your bedroom floor, or notice the random car in your driveway?" Blaine blushed and Kurt giggled lightly.
After a few moments Blaine cleared his throat and moved closer to Kurt, who had gone back to flipping pancakes.
"Anyway, how are you? Feeling better than last night?"
This time Kurt blushed and averted his eyes.
"I'm fine."
"Kurt?"
Kurt didn't answer, just served them their breakfast and took a seat at the breakfast counter. Blaine took his place next to the other boy and they ate in silence for a while. When Blaine finished the delicious pancakes, and God how he had missed Kurt's cooking, he grabbed the hand Kurt was using to listlessly push his pancakes around in pools of syrup. When he looked up at Blaine, the deep sadness back in his eyes, the younger boy moved them out of the kitchen to sit more comfortably on the living room couch. Kurt nestled into Blaine's side, one hand coming up to rest over the other boy's heart.
Blaine soaked up the contact much as he had done the previous night. This was one of the couple's favorite positions when they were spending quiet time together. Kurt had a habit of resting his ear or hand on Blaine's chest. When Blaine asked why some time ago Kurt had blushed and told him the sound and feeling of the steady thump of his boyfriend's heart calmed him, and grounded him more in the moment they were in.
"Kurt, please don't think for a minute that I wish you hadn't come here. I'm so… extremely happy, that I can't find an expression strong enough to express how much it means to me to have you in my arms right now."
Kurt didn't respond verbally, but relaxed into his embrace so Blaine continued.
"About what you said last night, I never stopped loving your either. I've loved you since I first met you, even if it did take me a while to get my act together." That caused Kurt to laugh softly. "But, I meant what I said, when I hurt you, it was the single biggest mistake and regret of my life. To have you here, offering me forgiveness and a second chance is more than I ever hoped for."
Blaine felt the wet heat behind his eyes, but blinked the tears back. He had cried so much over what had happened between Kurt and him; he couldn't do it anymore, at least not in regret. Kurt shifted in his hold so he could be heard, but made no move to be released.
"I do forgive you, Blaine. It wasn't only your fault that we fell apart. Yes, you cheated, but before that I ignored you, I took us off my priority list and I couldn't have been more wrong. You meant… you mean… everything to me, but I guess being in New York, trying to stay afloat with how my life was changing, it caused me to lose sight of what was most important to me: you."
Kurt took a deep breath and moved so he was straddling Blaine, looking into his eyes, before he continued. "I forgive you, Blaine, but do you forgive me? For not being who you needed, and for abandoning you like I promised I would never do? Is there hope for us?"
Blaine couldn't resist, having Kurt so close, he leaned in and pressed his lips to the older boy's. Kurt let out a soft whimper and responded fiercely. It wasn't the soft kiss of hesitant reconnection like the one last night; this kiss was full of passion, a release of feelings; and almost punishing to the both of them. They needed to let it out and this, being together and moving together again, was the closest they could come right now.
When they finally broke apart both boys were panting harshly and their cheeks were flushed a deep red, but their eyes were shining brightly and neither could look away. Blaine was the first to speak, "I forgive you, Kurt. I want us back. Will you be my boyfriend again? Be mine again?"
Kurt nodded quickly and pulled his love into another fierce kiss full of passion. This time the passion escalated quickly and they moved to Blaine's room, leaving a trail of clothing in their wake.
When Blaine opened his eyes again the sun was shining through the window with a bright intensity as it reflected off freshly fallen snow. Kurt was snuggled into his chest, his ear pressed over Blaine's heart. Blaine smiled softly and threaded his fingers through Kurt's already very tousled hair. He knew Kurt was awake by his breathing, but neither spoke for a while, but simply lay tangled in the sheets, basking in the feeling of being together again. It felt as if everything was right in the world for the first time in the last four months.
Their quiet peace was all too soon broken by the ringing of a phone. Kurt was the first up, recognizing the ringtone, and searching the ground for his phone. When he found it he crawled back into Blaine's arms before answering it.
"Hello?"
Blaine rubbed circles on Kurt's bare back, reveling in the sinfully soft skin.
"Dad… I'm… I'm fine."
Kurt seemed to be only getting in a few words at a time, apparently trying to calm his dad. That struck Blaine as odd, had Kurt not told his dad he was back in Lima? Blaine was lost in his own thoughts and didn't hear the rest of the one-sided conversation. Kurt ended the call and slumped heavily into the bed.
"What's wrong, Darling?"
Kurt smiled at the endearment, but grudgingly sat up and started searching for suitable clothes. "I didn't tell anyone I was coming here, it was kind of spur of the moment. I left the apartment when Rachel was in class and caught the soonest flight here, then rented a car and drove straight to your house. I guess Rachel finally noticed I hadn't just missed her last night or this morning when she got back from classes this afternoon and panicked. She called Adam, and Santana, and when neither of them knew anything she called my dad."
"Ah, that explains it. While I'm thrilled to have you here, you probably shouldn't just take off without telling anyone again. So your dad wants you home?" Blaine asked sadly, he was enjoying this time together. He got up and pulled a pair of pants and shirt from the bottom dresser drawer and handed them to Kurt.
"Thanks, I didn't pack anything to come, just grabbed my bag and got a cab to the airport." Blaine smiled, flattered that Kurt had been in such a rush that he hadn't stopped to do anything rational before coming to him.
"Blaine?"
"Yeah?" Blaine's face felt like it was on fire.
"These are my clothes…"
Blaine nodded, "I know, you left them here a while ago, and I just, I couldn't get rid of them or something."
Kurt's smile widened and he pressed a quick kiss to Blaine's lips before he headed for the bathroom. After they had both showered and changed, Blaine sat on his bed, watching Kurt style his hair in the mirror.
"So yeah, my dad wants to see me, like now. But he wants to see you too. So, do you mind going with me and facing his wrath?" Kurt gave him his best puppy-dog-eyes and Blaine couldn't have said no if he tried. He agreed and they were out the door minutes later. As they were pulling out of Blaine's driveway in the rental car something struck Blaine.
"Kurt?"
"Yeah?"
"Who's Adam?"
