Follow, Fav, Review please! There will be another chapter, I'm just in the process of writing it.
I know It's another proposal story but I was just in my head and I had to write it down so here it is.
Blaine's POV
Everyone went to Breadstix shortly after the ceremony for a proper celebration. Emma had booked ahead for a private party and except for the waiters and staff, it was just the glee club members, some old and some new, and the newlyweds. There was champagne, singing and dancing. Santana and Brittany were singing a beautifully harmonized duet with the band backing them up on the platform at the back and a few people glanced up to the stage to watch the performance especially Sam who was trying to have a conversation with me but I was too distracted with Kurt, he just looked so perfect with his smile lighting up the room as he sat with Mercedes two booths over giggling and chatting. They were glancing over at Emma and Will probably discussing how cute the little ceremony was or how much of a perfect couple they were.
I noticed the music had stopped and Brittany and Santana were making their way off the stage, Brittany walked towards Sam who had met her halfway and they gave each other a hug with Sam praising her on her performance while Santana Looked at them for a second then went to sit with Kurt and Mercedes. Marley and Jake walked onto the platform and picked up the abandoned microphones. The first notes of a thousand years by Christina Perri started to play, Will took Emma's hand and led her to an empty space on the floor for their first dance as Husband and Wife. All of the people in the room looked at them in awe. It was a Perfect scene like something out of a romcom. I looked over at Sam, he had wet cheeks and was now sat at a table at the back with Brittany, they looked deep in conversation. Mike Chang, Artie, Joe and Ryder were discussing a song to sing with all the boys. Sugar, Unique and Kitty were quietly admiring Jake and Marley's chemistry on stage and I was sat with Tina who was trying to talk to me about Mike but I was hardly listening. I was Nervous, so nervous. My Mind came up with various scenarios and answers. I wondered if his Dad would have told him about what I was intending to do. Maybe he was right especially with the Finn and Rachel story last year. I lost my train of thought when a door slammed, I wondered who it was, looking at each person on the table my eyes darted to Brittany and Sam's table and saw brittany in tears, Sam must have stormed out during their conversation. He was my best friend I had to go and find him
"Blaine? Blaine!" I heard Tina yell as she realized I was walking away.
"Sorry, Tina. I'm gonna go and find Sam." I said without turning around. I was walking towards the door and passed Kurt's booth.
Kurt was still absentmindedly talking and laughing with Santana and Mercedes. As I passed them, I saw Santana getting up to leave.
"Hey look I'm going to go and see if Brits okay. Don't wait up." Santana said turning to walk over to Brittany. I heard her mumble a quiet "Damn, Trouty Mouth!"
"Ok" Mercedes and Kurt said in unison not really caring and instead keeping a busy eye on everybody and gossiping about each person.
"Oh! Hey Blaine. Enjoying the wedding?" Mercedes asked me as she noticed me walking by and turning my way nudging Kurt in the arm as she did so. Kurt turned my way and smiled.
"Yeah, yeah. It's good." I said stopping to talk to them and glanced nervously at Kurt. He still had his attention on me. "I was just going to go and look for Sam, you know make sure he is OK." Mercedes nodded and smiled at me.
"Oh." Kurt said strangely disappointed.
"What's the matter? I asked.
"It's nothing, I just thought maybe... maybe you would sing with me?" Kurt asked innocently.
I was actually planning to go and find Sam make sure he was ok and talk to him about something, anything to take my mind of panicking just for a bit. But what bad could a Duet with Kurt, the most beautiful human on the earth, do?
Suddenly Santana had started yelling and we all turned to realize that Sam had re-entered the restaurant. Brittany was trying to calm her down and to be honest I don't think Sam could care less about the various lip insults that were being fired his way. A couple of seconds later Santana had calmed down and people had lost interest in the yelling match Santana was having with her self all except Kurt, Mercedes and Blaine. Santana sat back down at the little table at the back while Sam gave Brittany a sad smile and mouthed 'sorry' to her then made his way to wear Tina was sitting. He passed me and tried to give me a happy smile that only turned to a sad one.
"Yeah, sure let's go. This crowd needs a bit of cheering up." I suddenly found a bit of my confidence and grabbed his hand to pull him over to the empty platform. Soon him and Kurt were having a quick discussion about the perfect song to sing.
After a few suggestions from Kurt, I had an idea. "Mirrors by Justin Timberlake." Kurt gave me a smile. "I love that song! Go grab the mics." Kurt said enthusiastically. I smiled widely grabbed the two microphones and passed one to Kurt who simply smiled. I stood on the platform while Kurt instructed the band. 2 seconds later and the familiar song had began to play while the beautifully porcelain skinned boy came up and stood next to me. I started the duet off:
Aren't you something to admire, Cause your shine is something like a mirror, And I can't help but notice you reflect in this heart of mine. If you ever feel alone and the glare makes me hard to find, Just know that I'm always parallel on the other side.
It felt like everyone was staring at us even though I knew only a few people were paying attention to the performances on the stage. I saw Kurt was looking at me, I turned to my side and made eye contact and I saw that spark again in his eyes and he was looking into mine deeply. The chorus music started,
Cause I don't wanna lose you now, I'm looking right at the other half of me, The biggest seat is set in my heart, There's a space that now you hold, It's like your my mirror, My Mirror staring back at me, I couldn't get any bigger, With anyone else beside of me, And now it's clear as this promise, That we're making, Two reflections into one
I love this song it reminds me of the relationship with Kurt, it had so much meaning and I choose it in the hope Kurt would see through my ulterior motive of singing it. I felt so at peace singing with Kurt but every time I felt that velvet box in my pocket it made me remember why I was so nervous again. Kurt had started to sing his part while looking over the crowd.
Aren't you somethin', an original Cause it doesn't seem really as simple, And I can't help but stare , Cause I see truth somewhere in your eyes. I can't ever change without you, You reflect me, I love that about you, And if I could, I would look at us all the time.
Emma and Will had once again came up to the dance floor this time joined by other couples, Brittany and Sam who were quietly slow dancing besides Santana and Mercedes who were having a bit of a tipsy giggly dance, Ryder and Kitty had also began to dance slowly along with Artie and Sugar but Unique, Tina, Marley, Joe and Mike had remained talking in the corner booth. We both turned to look at one another again.
Yesterday is history, Tomorrow's a mystery, I can see you lookin' back at me, Keep your eyes on me, Baby, keep your eyes on me.
The chorus then started again and we kept close eye contact, body's close enough to feel each other's breath. I never wanted the song to end, I was gaining a bit more confidence with each note and soon the nerves and everything else was a blur in the back of my mind, I was lost in the blueness of His eyes, the hotness of his breath and just the perfectness that was Kurt Hummel.
As the last few notes of the song drifted out, Everyone joined the rest of the group in discussing nationals in L.A. All except me and Kurt. Instead we stood still on the platform still keeping the closeness of the contact between eye and body. We were lost in each others eyes but were quickly brought back down to earth when Santana and Mercedes came up to the platform gesturing for us to get off so they could take to the stage.
"Come on, pretty ponies scooch! Me and 'Cedes gots to gets our groove on." Santana said drunkenly.
As they stepped off the platform, I remembered the thing I had been intending to do all night and put my hand in my pocket just to check it was still there. Meanwhile Kurt had started to walk to an empty booth. Before he had a chance to sit down I asked him the question I had been dying to ask all night.
"Kurt, can I speak to you please?" I asked coming off a bit more nervous than maybe I wanted to. I heard a few 'ooos' from Sugar and Kitty but Tina told them to shut up and gave me an encouraging smile. Kurt looked over to Santana and Mercedes who were almost falling over, giggling into a mixed up version of a ke$ha song, he then followed me outside the door laughing a little at the performance he had just witnessed.
Kurt and I walked to the quiet secluded park on the other side of the road opposite to the loud restaurant.
"So... what did you want to speak to me about?" He asked as we walked to the empty park.
"You'll see" I replied a bit more confidently than I actually was. Kurt just turned to me with a confused expression then went back to enjoying the peacefulness of the park we had now reached. "Here's perfect" I said and stopped in my tracks. Kurt had stopped also and was now probably feeling even more confused.
"Umm... Ok?"Kurt asked confused.
"Look Kurt" I said grabbing his hand. Kurt was smiling at the touch of our hands. It always sent sparks flying through my fingertips. Which made my heart pound even more harder in my chest. I fiddled with the velvet case in my pocket. "Ever since we met, I knew there was something special between us and the chemistry was unbelievable." Kurt was just smiling already knowing this. "I love you Kurt and I know I hurt you but I'm so sorry for that."
"I know." He said quietly.
"You are my soul mate and I want to spend every day of my life knowing your their by my side. And that's why..." I paused to kneel down on one knee. I had to do this properly. Kurt gasped and I was unsure exactly what his facial expression was, I was to nervous to look and instead kept my face staring down to the ground. I pulled the velvet box out of my pocket and opened it to reveal the stunning diamond ring inside. A loud gasp escaped the older boy's mouth. And I looked up to see a stunned Kurt looking speechlessly at the box.
"B-Blain-" Kurt started but I cut him off.
"Kurt Hummel, would you do me the honour of marrying me?" I asked Sweetly and nervously.
There was an awkward silence. And Then Kurt began to speak.
"Blaine, I-I can't marry you..." Kurt said with watery eyes and an unrecognisable tone in his voice. My eyes began to water and before I could stop them tears were running down my face, this was the worst scenario and I couldn't face the explanation. I was so glad nobody was around. I'd made a fool out of myself. I couldn't face it any longer. I forgot about the party, about Sam and Tina wondering where I went and ran as fast as I could hearing Kurt call after me and not knowing where in hell I was going.
