Thanks so much for your reviews... I lost a close family member a year and a week ago so I know it can be easy to think like Kurt did in the last chapter and especially with all the shit going on in the world today (Libya, Christchurch – praying) I think it's definitely something lots of people can relate to. Not everyone is lucky enough to have their own Blaine!
Kurt was alone when he awoke the next morning, which was weird, he noted, since the space next to him was warm. He thought dazedly back to the night before. He definitely remembered Blaine being there at some stage, but – Oh. Oh God. The awakeness. And the rambling. And the 3am. And the fact he'd basically told Blaine he wanted to marry him.
He barely saw Blaine appear in the doorway holding two drinks, before he burrowed back under the sheets, vowing never to come out again.
'Kurt?' He heard Blaine put the cups down on the nightstand, and felt the pressure of him sitting on the best next to him. 'I definitely saw that adorable face before it disappeared under the sheets; everything okay?'
'I'm... so embarrassed.'
'Why?'
'I'm remembering my rant to you last night. Oh God...' his voice was muffled. 'I can never look you in the eyes again.'
'Why not?'
'Wh – I – Blaine... You seem oddly calm about the fact I spilled my guts all over you last night.'
'What is there not to be calm about? Let's review. You love me; I love you. You seem to be in a difficult place; I'm never leaving you.' Kurt peeked out from under the sheet.
'What?'
'I had a think after you fell asleep last night.' His voice softened. 'And I realised just how much I do want to be with you. In whatever way. I don't mind. But you don't seem to hate my presence, so I intend to be around for a very long time.' Kurt sat fully upright.
'You... You mean...' And he leapt forward suddenly and kissed Blaine, softly and for a very long time. 'I love you so much Blaine.'
'I love you too, Kurt. I always have. I always will. I do.' He held Kurt in a hug, resting his head sideways on the younger boy's shoulder. 'Any time you need me, Kurt. Morning, afternoon, 3am, for a talk, or a kiss or just a hug, I will be there. I promise.'
'I know you will.'
Love and thanks again for the feedback!
