Klaine 5x01 proposal reaction fic.

Once the celebrations at Dalton end, Kurt finally has the chance to change his flight for two more days. He was going to work over the weekend to make up some lost time at , but he knows Isabel will understand. Well, more than that. She'll probably end up throwing him a party.

Blaine can't help but look over a him every few seconds, or when one of them gets pulled away by friends, Blaine ends up running over to him for a quick smack of the lips anyway. It's like he can't believe he gets to do that again, even more so now they're engaged. Engaged.

He hugs everyone twice before he and Blaine decide to head out, linking arms together. It's on the way to Blaine's car that Kurt recalls his own words, a few days previous.

"I'm excited to see everyone again, and Blaine, of course. Don't worry, we're not hooking up this time."

Kurt smiles to himself before grabbing Blaine's right hand with his left. He can't quite keep in a chuckle at how the past week and a half had changed. Changed for the better.

"What are you thinking?" Kurt fails to hid his smirk at Blaine's question.

"I promised myself, before this trip, I wouldn't hook up with you again." He sees Blaine's smile falter for a moment. "I guess I should have known I wouldn't be able to stay away." He says airily, joking. Blaine is quiet for a moment.

They've just reached the driver's side of the car when Blaine stops walking, causing Kurt to stop through their linked hands.

"You're happy right, Kurt? That wasn't too much pressure or anything? You really want this right?" Blaine's voice is quiet, unsure, and a little scared if Kurt's not mistaken. His eyes have dropped to his feet where he scuffs his shoe against the pavement.

Kurt crowds Blaine up against the side of his car, framing Blaine's face with his hands so he has to look directly at Kurt. Blaine links his arms around Kurt's back.

"Blaine, I can't even imagine being happier than I am right now." He speaks evenly, looking directly into Blaine's eyes. "You make me happier than anything else. I know this is going to be hard, there is a lot of things we need to work on. But I know we can make this work. We know ourselves better, we won't make the same mistakes again. We'll make new mistakes, but we can do this. I love you."

Kurt leans forward to press his lips to Blaine's in a damp kiss. He kisses slowly, languidly, hoping Blaine will just feel his love. Blaine's hands clench in the back of his suit. After a moment they separate, Kurt presses his forehead to Blaine's.

"I love you too." Blaine says breathlessly. Kurt smiles, the words causing butterflies in his stomach. Some things never change.

"I know." He replies wirily. "And now all of Ohio does too." Blaine gets that concerned look in his eyes again and goes to speak but Kurt interrupts him.

"It was perfect Blaine. Beyond anything I could ever imagine."

Blaine breathes a sigh of relief before leaning to press his face to Kurt's neck and holding on tighter. Kurt puts his arms around his shoulders, holding Blaine even more securely there. And that's where their friends and family find them later, holding each other tight pressed against the side of a car door.

Santana pokes fun asking why they're not at Blaine's place "celebrating". But it doesn't matter to Kurt, because there is no other place he'd rather be.
