Summary of this chapter: Kurt's last night in the show he's been starring in for a while gets pretty emotional. Thankfully his family, friends, and boyfriend are all there to support him.


Blaine woke up one May morning excited that it was finally the day.

Ever since the heart transplant, Blaine's life had been amazing. Perfect apartment. Perfect boyfriend. Perfect job. Perfect friends. Perfect movie. And yes, even a perfect – albeit strange and unconventional – family.

He had made sure that all of his and Kurt's best friends from high school, college, and after were going to be in the theatre that night. Both of their families were also there – all of Blaine's even. No one – except Burt – knew that there was any reason to be there other than to celebrate Kurt's final performance in the show.


Blaine stood up from his seat in the center of the front row just before the curtain call and made his way backstage with a bouquet of roses. No one thought it was strange he was leaving – they all assumed he wanted to be as close to Kurt as possible during what was surely an extremely emotional moment.

After the bows were finished, Kurt stepped forward.

"This very stage has been a second home to me for the past 13 months," he said, voice filled with emotion. "And tonight, I am saying goodbye for the last time. I have grown so much in my time here and have thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. I am going to miss every person involved in this show so much. I want to thank the amazing director and crew, the cast, the pit, and every fan who came to the show. Most of all, I want to thank my family and friends who are here to support me tonight. I look forward to watching this show from the audience tomorrow night, and I can't wait to see every member of this cast achieve greatness!"

The applause were thunderous as Kurt, crying, took a final bow. He was about to walk away as the applause died down when he, and everyone else in the theatre, heard a clear voice.

"Kurt."

Kurt – and everyone else – looked over to find Blaine walking on to the stage. Burt smiled proudly.

"Hi everyone," Blaine said bashfully. "Sorry to interrupt. I promise this will be quick. In case you don't know me, my name is Blaine and I'm Kurt's boyfriend."

He handed the roses to Kurt and kissed him lightly.

"I'm sure by now you've all figured out how amazing Kurt is. He and I have been together for a long time. Kurt, I can't imagine anyone more amazing than you. You have saved me in so many ways. If it wasn't for you, I'd be living on the streets in Ohio or dead – I certainly wouldn't have made it to New York. I love you, Kurt, more than anyone else in the world. You have been a constant presence in my life – which is not know for consistency – for such a long time. I cannot imagine trying to live a single day without you."

At this point, Blaine crouched down on one knee and pulled out a small velvet box.

"Kurt Hummel, will you marry me?"

The entire theatre was completely silent. Tears were still streaming down Kurt's face, but he was grinning widely.

"Yes," he whispered. "God, Blaine, yes!"

Blaine's face broke into a huge grin as he slipped the ring on Kurt's finger. The two then kissed deeply to thunderous applause.
