Yesterday was Klaine's first meeting anniversary, and I was feeling a little emotional so I wrote this. Hope you'll like it :).
The whisper of a song woke up Kurt. The young father had fallen asleep in front of a film, the generic facing him when he opened his eyes slowly. Blaine's soft voice made him smile, and he closed his eyes a moment, enjoying the humming. Their daughter must have wake up while he dozed off because he felt Blaine walking around the room, singing ... Candles? Their first duet?
Kurt opened his eyes in surprise. He remembered their first duo on stage as if it were yesterday. He smiled at the thought.
Blaine stopped singing and began to whisper to their daughter some words.
"I'm going to tell you little one, why I sing this song. Today is a special day. I do not know if your daddy remembers, but this day, March 15th, many years ago, I went to find him in the dining room at Dalton. He was trying to build a small casket for Pavarotti, our little yellow canary. Oh Lizzie, you would have loved this little canary. "
"Aheuu ! "
"Yes, if you want, Papa will buy you one one day, if you are gentle"
Kurt heard the sound of a kiss, probably deposited on the front of their child.
"Where was I? Oh, Dalton ... If you knew how I was afraid sweetheart. Your father was already very special to me when we met but when I saw him singing for Pavarotti, I had a revelation. I hope you feel that way for someone one day, my angel, because it is a wonderful experience to actually see your soulmate for the first time. "
Kurt's heart was filled with joy hearing those words. He remembered that feeling and all the love he had for Blaine since their first meeting until today.
"I went towards him, asked him what he was doing, and told him that we had a song to practice. Of course, the song was a pretext at this moment ... I think I've never been so nervous to say a title in my entire life... Candles, by heyMonday. "
"I'm impressed! You usually use the top 14! "
Blaine jumped when he heard the voice of Kurt, who had straightened and was watching him with a small smile, behind the sofa.
"I wanted something a little more emotional ..." Blaine's smile widened.
"Why did you pick me to sing that song with? ". It was not a look of incomprehension that housed Kurt's eyes this time, but of tenderness, and even melancholy. He gestures to Blaine to come sit next to him, their daughter slowly starting to fall asleep in Blaine's arms.
Blaine said nothing for a moment, and came to sit next to his husband. Elisabeth was gently holding against him. Then Blaine stared into Kurt's eyes, and whispered :
"Kurt, there is a moment, when you say to yourself, oh, there you are, I've been looking for you forever ..."
This time, it was Kurt who gently placed his hand on Blaine's thigh , a smile lighting his face, rosy cheeks, anticipating words that were to follow. There was a period in high school, when Kurt kept repeating Blaine's words, and even during the darkest time of their relationship, these words were like an anchor for him.
"Watching you do Blackbird this week ... That was a moment for me... About you ... You move me Kurt, and this duet was just an excuse to spend more time with you. "
Kurt chuckled before kissing Blaine vigorously.
"God, I love you so much Blaine! You still remember the day of our first kiss and your speech. "
"And we met November 9th »
Kurt was surprised.
« I thought... I was the only one to remember this day in November...thought I'm impressed for both dates ! »
« What can I say ? I was very sad this day and you were like a sun in my day. Since this time, my soul knew you were, is, and always will be the love of my life. "
Kurt said nothing for a few moments, fixing their little girl, who was finally asleep. Then he looked at Blaine with a little smile and whispered:
"I'm really glad we practiced since our first kiss, husband."
