Blaine would get this right this time. He would. Kurt was out for the day with Rachel but she had promised to get him home by 6pm, so he was going to get this proposal right this time.

Blaine was in the fabric shop, and he was looking at ribbons when he heard two very familiar and at this moment in time, unwanted voices. Rachel and Kurt. "Crud" Blaine muttered as he ducked behind a small shelf of ribbons, okay, okay, all I have to do it get out of here, there are other fabric shops I can go into that will be just as good…Blaine thought frantically as he started to crouch walk round the corner. He knew he must look stupid but he really had no choice, but just then he collided with a set of legs and looked up to find a very amused looking shop worker.

"Hello down there sir…is there any particular reason you are crouched like that?" She said looking down at the older man on the floor.

"Err….." Blaine said standing up a bit but still keeping slightly crouched so that he couldn't be seen over the top of the shelf "This is going to sound strange but I am trying to avoid those people over there" he said peering over the top of the shelf and indicating the Kurt and Rachel who were looking at the silk.

The girl laughed quietly and said "And is there any reason for that or is it just a fun game you are playing?"

Blaine looked at her a couldn't help but give a cheesy grin "Well yes there is a reason. I am here because I am collecting some things because I am going to propose to my boyfriend tonight, he's the one with the terribly dressed girl over there. And I don't want him to see me getting the things…"

The girl let out a small "Awwww" noise before saying quietly "Do you want me to help you? Is there anything in particular you would like me to get for you?"

Blaine smiled at her and said "I haven't seen anything yet…..so I think I may just-" but he stopped as a roll of rich dark red ribbon that seemed to have a slight shine to it caught his eye on the other side of the shop "Scrap that, could you go and bye me that dark red ribbon over there?" He pointed across the shop towards the place where it was hanging.

"Sure, how much do you want?" the girl asked.

"Ermm…" Blaine faltered, he had absolutely no idea how much he would need "Just get the whole thing and it doesn't matter if I have left overs" He grinned as the girl went off to fetch it for him.

Once the ribbon had been bought and Blaine thanked the girl over and over and she wished him good luck with the proposal, he rushed out the shop avoiding the two friends and everyone else for good measure.

When he got home he looked at the task he had ahead of him and got started.

4 hours later Blaine stood back and admired his handy work. He had attached one end of the ribbon to the front door handle on the inside and then traced it from one end of the house out to the other end of the garden where he had strung up small white fairy lights in their little circle of hedges. Within the hedges there was a small stone bench that Blaine planned to sit Kurt down on and then propose. But Blaine hadn't stopped there, as he had hung from the ribbon a time line of all their best moments starting form when they first met and were still only friends to only last week when there had been a photo taken of Kurt and Blaine back stage of his opening night of his newest Broadway show. Kurt was holding a massive bouquet of flowers and he was still in full costume and grinning like he only ever did after the rush of performing, and Blaine was kissing him on his cheek. Blaine had put Photos and theatre tickets and recites from romantic dinners and even written down romantic moments in gold pen on little pieces of black paper.

He had 10 minutes before Kurt was to come home so he got the champagne and two glasses and places them in an ice box next to the bench. "Okay…..that's all done…now I just have to go get the ring….fuck! The ring!" With everything that had happened in the fabric shop he had completely forgotten to go and get the ring from the jewellers! And they would be closed by now! "Nooooooo! For Fuck Sake Blaine! You fucking idiot!" He groaned and banged his head against the wall just as he heard the front door unlock and Kurt say "Blaine? Why are all the lights out? Omygod! Blaine!" Blaine saw the ribbon vibrate slightly indicating that Kurt had seen it and was looking at everything on the tine as he followed it "Awwwww I remember all these!" Kurt called from the front room.

Right Blaine, just make the best of it, you will still have a lovely romantic evening, Blaine thought as he saw Kurt immerge from the house and gasp at the sight of the garden. It was now getting dark and all the fairy lights twinkled amongst the leafy green hedges, giving the garden a romantic glow.

Kurt drew nearer and nearer, still looking at every single thing hanging from the ribbon, and letting out small happy noises whenever he came across one he remembered as very special.

"What is this all for Blaine? It's beautiful…but this isn't the first time you've done something like this for me recently…" Kurt said sliding up to Blaine and wrapping his arms around his neck and kissing him.

Blaine mentally sighed and scolded himself for forgetting the key item of this evening and instead invented a story saying "Since when have I needed a reason to remind the most amazing man in the world that he is taken by someone who loves him and always will? I just thought we could have a romantic evening together" Blaine said, finishing of his speech by pressing his lips to Kurt's in a steamy kiss.

Kurt moaned and deepened the kiss as Blaine drew him closer to him and slid his hand under Kurt's waistband of his jeans. Kurt lets out a little whimper as Blaine turned them around so he was pinning Kurt to the wall and started to kiss the most sensitive part of his neck. Kurt ran his hands up and down Blaine's back under his shirts as he started to grind up against his boyfriend. "Mmmm…." Blaine muttered in a low voice in Kurt ear, making sure he breathed hot breath on his neck just to make him tingle "You're looking especially sexy tonight baby"

"Mmmm…" Kurt agreed before jumping up onto Blaine's hips and wrapping his legs tight around the back of him "I was going to say the same about you….." He whispered "Shall we take this inside…?"

Blaine flipped Kurt backwards so he was lying on his back on the stone bench and Blaine was nestled between his legs before growling "Nahh, I want you now"
