baby you're a {FIREWORK} (New Directions, Invite)

[Kurt Hummel]

"Hey! Do you guys mind if I hang out with you?"

Kurt gave Mercedes his sassiest look. Seriously, the girl did not ever need to ask if she could hang out with him. She only asked because Blaine was here, but there still wasn't a need for it. "Mercedes Jones, I'd be offended if you didn't," he said. He grinned as the girl sat with them. She was his best friend. The pair of them always had a good time together, no matter what they were doing. Ever since they were first in Glee Club together. His trip down memory lane was interrupted by Blaine trying to get Mercedes to help him get Kurt in the water. Even though Mercedes was his best friend, there was nothing she could say to get him into the water.

"Come on, Kurt, don't you want to swim with Blaine? I mean, look at him. If I were you I wouldn't miss this chance."

Except for maybe that. Kurt chanced a glance at Blaine. He looked perfect as always. He would enjoy splashing around in the water with the boy he supposed. He supposed? Kurt knew he would. Blaine would make sure that Kurt was having fun. But the sun was like murder today. "Mercedes you always know my weakness. But the sun is killer today. It would ruin my skin." Granted he did put on a lot of sunscreen today. That should be enough. Did Kurt want to risk it? Would he risk it for Blaine? Well, he just might.

"Come on, Kurt, don't you want to swim with Blaine? I mean, look at him. If I were you I wouldn't miss this chance,"

Blaine blushed a little and smiled but looked down to try to pretend like he hadn't heard Mercedes. He didn't think it was a secret, but she did lean towards Kurt and whisper it to him.

"Mercedes you always know my weakness. But the sun is killer today. It would ruin my skin."

He rolled his eyes a little at that. He loved Kurt, but he could be so stubborn sometimes. It was just a little sun. If he had sunblock on what was the big deal? "You don't have to get in if you don't want to, I'm not going to force you to do anything. I just thought it would be fun," he said sighing a little. Blaine could have fun swimming with other members of New Directions. "I'll be sure to visit you here under the umbrella," he said, smiling a little. It wasn't exactly how he has planned the day to turn out, but could work with the minor bumps in the plan.

"You don't have to get in if you don't want to, I'm not going to force you to do anything. I just thought it would be fun. I'll be sure to visit you here under the umbrella."

As Kurt thought about it, he supposed it might be fun to go swimming. And he might even be able to "accidentally" brush against Blaine's bear chest. He supposed he could carry an umbrella around with him, but that would be too much trouble. Maybe he'd just come out with the sun went behind the clouds. He knew that Blaine was looking forward to swimming with him, and he hated to disappoint the boy. He'd make it up to Blaine later. "Thanks for understanding, honey."

He smiled up at the boy and looked at his eyes under his oddly shaped eyebrows. Some people might not like those eyebrows or might think they are strange. But Kurt loved them. He loved everything about Blaine's face. He loved everything about Blaine, period. He was glad that he agreed to come today. He couldn't imagine being here without him.
