If you recognise it, it's not mine.

"-So what's this one?"

"That's a dandelion, Blaine."

"Oh, ok. And this?"

"Lavender. You know, as in Brown?"

"Yes! I knew you would make a Harry Potter reference at some point! Seriously, everybody does."

"Does that have something to do with the fact that you're practically a Harry Potter lookalike?"

Kurt bit back a laugh as Blaine went cross-eyed trying to look at his own face.

"Why does everybody say that? I look nothing like Harry Potter! He has green eyes, and...and straightish hair, and a British accent, and-"

"Blaine, so far on this walk I have seen at least three small children spot you, and promptly stare hopefully at your forehead."

Blaine scowled. Kurt laughed as they continued down the path. The sun was shining, warm rays painting the park in softer, more welcoming shades. Blaine pointed to a slightly taller plant growing by the edge of a tree.

"Ok, what's that?"

"An ash tree."

"No, the plant."

"Seriously? That's grass, Blaine."

Blaine stepped off the path, pointing to the stems.

"It's grass, Blaine."

"But it's tall!"

"It's long grass."

"It has seedy things!"

"That's what happens to grass when it gets long, Blaine."

"Really?"

"How do you not know this?"

"Why do you know this?"

The two stared at each other for a second. Kurt sighed.

"My mom... She was really into all this botany stuff. She'd take me on walks, point at all the flowers and tell me what they were. I guess I kept the habit."

Blaine came back to Kurt's side, wrapping an arm round his shoulders.

"Ok, then. If that's grass, and that's an ash tree, then what's this?"

"An apple tree, see all the blossom?"

"Yeah. It's beautiful. Like you."

The statement was punctuated with a kiss on the cheek. Kurt looked at him, eyes wide with surprise.

"I'm an... apple tree?"

Blaine blushed, shuffling his feet lightly.

"I guess... It's like...you're pale, and the flowers are white, but they're pink as well. Now you're blushing, see?"

Kurt laughed, casting his eyes round the park for a similar comparison.

"Ok, then. You're a... a sunflower."

Blaine glanced at him, a smile lighting his face. Kurt continued, brushing his hand through Blaine's hair.

"You are. When people see you, they smile. You stick around for as long as you can. The height factor, I must admit, is not so accurate..."

"Hey!"

"Speak for yourself, but my grandmother always said that height is not a measure of character."

Blaine beamed, dropping another kiss onto Kurt's shoulder.

"Come with me. There's somewhere I want to show you."

The two boys flopped down onto the bench behind the thick hedge, hands linked together tightly.

"I love you," Blaine blurted suddenly. Kurt turned, blue-green eyes meeting the hazel. Blaine stared earnestly back at him, a slight frown appearing on his face.

"If...if that's ok?"

Kurt dropped Blaine's hand, shuffling away slightly. Thoughts raced through his head, centering on the boy before him.

"Kurt? I'm sorry, I didn't mean..."

That was all Blaine got out before Kurt pressed their lips together in a soft, tender kiss. He pulled away after a few seconds.

"I...I love you too."

Blaine stared dumbstruck for several seconds, before a splitting grin tore across his face.

"Really?"

"Really really."

The pair sat together, hands linked as the sun shone and birds flew by, singing softly.

Blaine said something sweet and funny to him, and Kurt smiled, nodding lightly. He looked at his boyfriend's face, eyes slightly squinted in the sun, but still shining with happiness.

I love you.

Kurt rested his head on Blaine's shoulder, taking in the perfection of the moment.

I love you.
