Dec. 1: Anniversary

A/N: Extremely fluffy because you can never have enough fluff.

Blaine knew he wanted to do something special for his tenth anniversary with Kurt. He thought of all sorts of elaborate things they could do—skydiving, vacationing to Niagara Falls, binge-watching a complete series run-through of America's Next Top Model—but none of them seemed just right. So when he was complaining about this over the phone to Tina, he was almost burnt out from the stress.

"I don't know what to do, T. He deserves something great, something bold. Something Kurt."

"I know it's the opposite way you wanted to do it," she started. "But why don't you just do a simple vow renewal? God knows you guys didn't really have your own wedding anyways, so it'd be like getting another shot."

The idea hit Blaine like a ton of bricks, and suddenly he found himself wanting to almost kiss her through the phone out of gratefulness.

"Tina you're a genius!" he exclaimed. "That's the perfect idea for Kurt, he'll be so excited and I'm so excited and it'll be amazing. I have to go tell him thank you so much!" the last part came out in a rush but he was too giddy to care.


The morning of the vow-renewal, also the morning of Kurt and Blaine's tenth anniversary, Blaine was psyched. He and his husband had both spent weeks planning and putting together a ceremony as quick as they could, deciding on holding it in Ohio, at the community park that was now where Dalton Academy had once stood. It was quiet, yet sophisticated and held plenty meaning for both men. Red flowers and white silk ribbon decorated the park along with the mismatch of suits and dresses of all the friends and family who were attending.

Rachel was there, along with her husband Jesse and their little boy, Streisand. Quinn and Puck made an appearance, along with Mercedes and Sam, who were finally together again after Mercedes came back from touring and Sam had broken up with his latest fling. Mike was there with his wife, Isla, and their twin babies. Santana and Brittany were there with their three children, and Mr. Schue and Emma had made it as well. Of course Tina was there with Artie, and she whispered proudly to many people about how this was her idea.

There was no question to Burt and Carole being there, both so happy to see Kurt and Blaine after so long, and of course Pam as well. The last two guests were especially popular on this bright, hopeful day. Little five-year old Louis and little two-year-old Audrey Hummel-Anderson were both energized as ever, excited to see their friends and for their dads.

The ceremony was light-hearted and beautiful, beginning with Kurt and Blaine walking down the stone-paved aisle together along with Louis bouncing and Audrey stumbling along clumsily but smiling nonetheless. They stopped under a lattice arch and held each other's hands, looking nowhere but into each other's eyes (and occasionally downward to make sure their little monkeys weren't into much trouble). The vows were sweet and simple, but still personal and deep.

"I remember," Kurt began. "Back when we were still just two clueless teenagers, you approached me and I thought we were going to rehearse a duet. But to my surprise, you told me words that I'll never forget. You said, 'Kurt, there is a moment where you say to yourself – 'Oh, there you are. I've been looking for you forever.' And then you kissed me right there, on the spot, and since then we've been on this roller coaster of a journey and those words remain true for me. I never have and never will stop looking for you, and yet every time is like the first. I'm so proud to call you my husband, and to have been facing life beside you for almost fourteen years. I love you."

Tears were running down multiple faces (the loudest being Tina) and a brief applause broke out as Blaine, also teary-eyed, smiled and looked down at his feet, before aligning his gaze to meet Kurt's.

"There have been so many times in my life, when I was stuck in a situation that I didn't know how to get through, and each time I looked up to you. I always thought, what would Kurt do?" he spoke gently and meaningfully, his voice breaking as he laughed the last line. "You have always been so brave, so strong, and the past years, including the ones leading up to our marriage, would have been so much harder without you by my side. I'm over the moon with happiness that you're my husband, a father to my children, and most importantly, an inspiration to everyone. You're my soulmate, fearlessly and forever."

The two exchanged gold rings with shaking hands and kissed each other passionately as their audience of family and friends clapped and cheered. Their two kids threw flower petals all the way back down the aisle and Blaine nudged his head in under Kurt's jaw, on his shoulder.

Once back to their hotel room, after celebrating all night with their dear friends whom they hadn't seen all together in so long, and then dropping their kids off at Burt's and Carole's, Kurt and Blaine laid in bed together, legs tangled up. They had never been happier than that moment.

"Blaine?" Kurt whispered to his almost sleeping husband.

All he got in response was a content moan of acknowledgement.

"Happy Anniversary."

"Happy Anniversary, Kurt."
