You Are Invited to the 5 Year Reunion of Dalton Academy Class of '11

Kurt stared at the envelope he had received 3 months ago, and couldn't believe that the reunion was tonight. He stared at the outfit laying on his bed- a white button down, black jeans that left nothing to the imagination, and a black tuxedo vest. It was a little less extravagant than those of his high school days, but he had grown up. Kurt sat on his bed and thought about what tonight was going to have in store for him. Blaine. Maybe, just maybe, he wouldn't be there. Or worse, maybe he would be there-with his loving boyfriend or even husband, in tow. Kurt couldn't think about that. He could barely think about Blaine in general without sobbing. After Kurt had graduated and moved to New York, the two were never really the same. One day in his second semester, Blaine called him saying that he had gotten a full ride to Michigan and wasn't going to be in New York with Kurt. It led to a huge blowout about their future before they inevitably realized that they weren't working, and Kurt had spiraled into a depression. Blaine had broken his heart, and Kurt had never moved on.

Still, he wanted to go and see some of his old friends, so he got dressed, spiked his hair and made it as sexy as it could look, because hell- if Blaine did show up, he wanted to show him everything he was missing out on.

Kurt looked at the digital clock in his car as he pulled into the Dalton parking lot, shit. He was half an hour late.

He ran into the large, majestic building and Kurt distinctly heard the sound of male voices harmonizing with each other. These voices where different than he remembered, sounded more mature and older. He bolted down a marble staircase, not even bothering to think that this staircase was where his life had changed. He hurried down them and through a long hallway to a pair of oak doors.

He slowly creaked them open and saw the Warblers surrounding a piano and all of the other guys finding seats and catching up with old friends. Since a majority of Kurts friends were Warblers, he simply pulled a chair towards the back of the room and stared at his cell phone. Suddenly, the boys began to harmonize a familiar tune and Kurt looked up to see the boys in an old formation, with one person standing front and center.

Kurt whole body froze.

There, with a big, goofy smile was none other than Blaine Anderson. He had grown taller-but not much, had a layer of stubble across his cheeks and chin, and his hair was short with a few stray curls-and no gel. He wore a sleek black button down and dark wash jeans with black shoes. He looked great.

Kurt could only stare at him. He couldn't speak, he couldn't move. He just stared and prayed that Blaine didn't see him. As Blaine began to sing, Kurt's heartbeat doubled as he realized Blaine's voice had gotten better with age. It had a new rasp, or something, that Kurt couldn't quite place, but it made his voice even more swoon-worthy. As he danced around, blue met hazel and their eyes locked. Blaine stopped stiff and his singing stopped.

All Kurt could hear was "shit." come out of Blaine's mouth before everyone looked over to stare at him. Kurt felt his face flush, but couldn't move. He could only just stare back.

The Warblers looked confused, until they saw where Blaine was looking and where stunned silent. Nobody really expected Kurt to show up, especially not Blaine.

Kurt gulped and stood up, quickly running out the doors and into the hallway. Blaine bolted out behind him before anybody could realize what had happened.

Kurt ran towards the marble stairs and was halfway up when he heard Blaine's voice.

"Kurt! Kurt, stop! Dammit Kurt please just listen to me"

A part of Kurt was thrilled to hear Blaine say his name, but the more dominant part was screaming "keep going Kurt, your only gonna get hurt"

Kurt whipped around to look at Blaine, who was staring around wide-eyed around the room at their location.
"what is it that always brings us back here?" Blaine asked with a chuckle, then looked up adoringly at Kurt like he had all those years ago.

Kurt laughed and blushed because, this was exactly where they were when they met.

"you look good Kurt. I've missed you" Blaine said with a genuine smile.

Kurt's heart flipped, but then remembered why he was trying to leave in the first place. Blaine was stalking the stairs towards him when Kurt built up all of his courage and said: "Stop it Blaine. You think you can say one charming thing and I'll fall like putty into your hands all over again? This isn't high school anymore. You broke me Blaine, I've never been able to trust anyone, to let anyone else in. So just let me go and we'll pretend this never happened."

with this he turned and began walking up the stairs. He had only climbed 2 when he felt a hand on his wrist and felt himself being turned about, face to face with Blaine. His intensely golden eyes were dark and fiery, as if he was angry, but Kurt wasn't scared. Breathless? Maybe. Scared? Never.

"I let you go once, I'm not gonna sit idley by and watch it happen again. I've never had anything with anyone like I did with you. I love you, and hell-I never stopped. I never will. So if you don't love me, you can go right on up those stairs and leave me behind. Just know that I love you Kurt Hummel. and I will forever"

Kurt couldn't move. All he could focus on was how Blaines lips were all but 3 centimeters from his, so, without rational thought-he closed the gap. He heard Blaine gasp into the kiss before returning it. As they finished, Kurt wrapped his arms around Blaines neck as the (still shorter) boy tightened grip on his waist. They stood there for a few minutes, blushing and chuckling at each other, foreheads pressed.

Kurt was in heaven. Literally. He knew that this staircase had given him an angel all those years ago, and now a miracle had happened in the same spot.

As Kurt looked into Blaine's eyes, the silence was broken by Blaine smirking and saying "There's something different about you Kurt Hummel. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I love it"

Kurt chuckled, "it's the hair".

At this Blaine brought him in for another kiss, feeling through his hair and nodding

"it's definitely the hair".
