Chapter 1: A Christmas Surprise

Kurt walked the streets of New York; he was on his way home from his work at Isabelle and around him the snow was falling, making it colder than usual.

He had been working late today; since it was the last day before Christmas vacation. Originally Blaine was supposed to pick Kurt up after work, but he hadn't been there when he got off.

Blaine had been living with Kurt and Rachel in their apartment since he graduated from McKinley, which was one and a half year ago now. Blaine had gotten into NYADA, a dream Kurt had dropped, since he was now getting an education with fashion, while he worked with Isabelle.

Kurt and Blaine were still together, although they had a big breakup after Kurt moved to New York. But Christmas Eve the same year they had broken up, Blaine had surprised Kurt by showing up in New York and they decided to put it all behind them, and agreed that never again were they going to let anyone or anything get between them - yet Kurt had changed since then and got jealous much faster and easier now.

Finally Kurt arrived at their apartment, his perfect hair full of little snowflakes. Today he was glad that he had so many layers on, it meant that he wouldn't freeze when it was so cold outside.

"Blaine, are you home?" Kurt shouted out when he opened the door to the apartment, surprised not to see his lover, but instead his whole family and friends, all being there in his apartment.

"Surprise!" they all shouted when he stepped inside, he looked surprised at them all and smiled all over his face.

His father, Finn, Carol and Mercedes were the first to come over and hug him.

"What... What are you all doing here?" he asked surprised when Mercedes hugged him.

She laughed.

"We've come to celebrate Christmas with you guys! Blaine invited us!" she said with a smile when Kurt moved on, now seeing that Mr. Schuester, Mrs. Pillsbury and their little baby girl were there too.

"Mr. Schuester!" Kurt said happily as he shook the hand of his former teacher.

"Kurt, it's so nice to see you again, and how many times do I have to tell you, just call me Will now, I'm not your teacher anymore," Will smiled and Kurt moved on with a smile, hugging the last of his friends who were there, before finally finding Rachel among them all.

"What is all of this? Did you know? And where is Blaine?" Kurt asked and pulled her aside; he was still surprised to see all of his old friends gathered in his apartment.

"It's a surprise party, for you. And haven't you checked your phone? Blaine is running late, he had some... stuff... to do, and something to pick up on his way home" Rachel giggled and Kurt knew that those two were up to no good, but decided that he should check his phone, and as expected he had three missed calls; all of them from Blaine, and also a message saying:

I'm running late, I'll meet you at home. Love Blaine.

Kurt smiled at the message and put his phone down on the table, walking over to catch up with Mercedes and Tina, wanting the latest gossip about the stars around them.

After about an hour Blaine showed up, greeting everyone who was there, before he walked over to Kurt and hugged him.

"Thanks Blaine, I couldn't wish for a better Christmas than this," he whispered into his lover's ear and then pulled back to kiss him gently.

"No need to thank me Kurt, the night is still young," Blaine smiled and held Kurt's hands in his own, smiling that special smile that Kurt loved so much.

The night went on from there on, people talked about the past and present - some even talked about the future. Kurt talked with Will about McKinley and he also met the little baby that had been named after Rachel, mostly because she from the very first day she was at home acted like a little star, wanting every bit of attention she could get.

Around ten pm. it was time for karaoke - Rachel's idea. First off were of course Rachel, she sang a Barbra Streisand song and then passed on the microphone, now it was Blaine's turn and Kurt noticed that he looked slightly nervous when he stepped in front of them all.

"Hey everybody, thanks for coming, I have planned something very special for tonight and I wanted you all to be here, but first I want to sing a little song we all know, and Kurt, my Love, this one is for you." he said before sitting down at their piano - Blaine had insisted that they got one when he moved in - and sang a song that Kurt knew by his heart. Teenage Dream.

"My heart stops, when you look at me, just one touch, now baby I believe, this is real, so take a chance, and don't ever look back,"

Kurt stayed quiet throughout the whole song, staring at his lover with happy tears in his eyes. He felt so touched inside, Teenage Dream was the first song he had ever heard Blaine sing, it was the last song he sang before they broke up - he clearly remembered the tears in Blaine's eyes when he had sang it back then - and now he sang it to Kurt, after one and a half year together without any problems, and there were no sign of tears in Blaine's eyes, only love and affection for his lover.

The song stopped and everyone stayed quiet, even Kurt was completely silent and just stood there, watching his lover making his way down to him.

"Blaine that was..." Kurt tried to say, but got cut off.

"Shh, don't say anything yet, I'm not done," Blaine smiled and gave the microphone to Rachel.

"Kurt, we've been together for a long time now, and lately I've been meaning to ask you something, I just couldn't find the right time. But now I think the time is right. I mean, what better time could you get, than a time with all of our friends gathered around us, so..." Blaine smiled and got down on one knee, pulling out a small box from his jacket.

Kurt clapped his hands in front of his mouth at that, not saying anything but clearly knowing what was going on.

"Kurt Hummel, I love you more than anything else. I want to spend the rest of my life with you, grow old with you and your amazing taste in fashion. You're everything to me and I promise I'll always be there for you when you need me, so Kurt Hummel, will you marry me?" Blaine asked with smile.

"Yes... Yes of course I will!" Kurt fought to keep his tears back as Blaine put the ring on his finger and stood up to hug him. Around them their friends and family were smiling and looking at each other with true happiness.

"I love you Blaine," Kurt whispered as they let go of each other, and as a reply he felt the soft lips of his lover's against his own, soon the kiss deepening as those two pulled each other closer, both filled up with love and happiness.
