Monday:
It was finals week at Dalton and Blaine was stressed. He hadn't seen Kurt since the previous Wednesday and he missed him a lot. They had talked on the phone every night, but Kurt knew better than to keep Blaine from his studies. Graduation was a week from Saturday and Blaine couldn't believe it. He also couldnt believe that both Michigan and NYU had given him scholarships to study music. Michigan had given him a full ride, and his parents were pushing him to go there, but he so wanted to go to New York with Kurt.
As he nosedived back into his Economics textbook, he thought about what a crazy year it had been. Kurt's senior prom was 2 weeks prior and he remembered how amazing it was to slowdance with Kurt, even with the constant threat of being beaten up. That night both boys had had their first time with each other, and Blaine felt that it connected them and gave them one of the strongest possible connections. They were in love and they had acted on it, and it was perfect.
Dalton's senior prom was that Saturday night, but Kurt would be away with New Directions at Nationals and finals would be finished on Wednesday. Blaine wasn't gonna go stag and he definitely did not want to be around to help the countless number of Warblers with their outfits. He needed a plan. Then, his eyes averted over to some of the college brochures on his bed and he got an idea. He called up his mother and didn't go back to that textbook for another 3 hours.
Wenesday:
Kurt hadn't seen Blaine in a full week. They had talked on the phone, but nothing beat the feeling in his stomach when Blaine would wrap his arms around Kurt. It felt so safe and warm and Kurt wouldn't give it up for anything. But he had to study, he was graduating in a little over a week and he needed to pass these exams to get a diploma. Blaine was a genious, Kurt thought, so it wouldn't be an issue.
Kurt walked into glee and Nationals practice was in full swing. They had their set list a good 2 weeks before and had extended practices everyday, making sure everything was perfect. They had split the performance into a Finn and Rachel duet of 'Falling Slowly' from the movie Once and a group performance of 'Don't Stop Me Now' by Queen. Kurt loved the selections and wished that Blaine could go to New York with him and they could walk the streets in the most accepting city on the planet.
The thought was pushed out of Kurt's mind as he realized that the Warblers would probably need him for Dalton prom. Kurt was so excited when Blaine had asked him to go, with a Kurt-worthy prom proposal (Blaine had thrown pebbles at his window and held up a sign saying 'PROM?') and it was amazing. It was amazing until Kurt realized he couldn't go.
Blaine had understood immediately about Nationals but still looked dejected, so Kurt had made it up to him by bringing him to McKinley prom and dancing with him in front of everyone. It was risky-but Blaine was worth it.
So Kurt continued with rehearsal and felt a buzz from his Jean pocket.
hope you're rehearsing hard! wish I could see you off tomorrow, but I know you'll have an amazing time. text me pictures and everything. I love you :) txt me tonight xo - B
Kurt smiled and quickly responded before Mr. Schue let them out and told them to meet in the choir room at exactly 7 am the next morning. The team murmured their affirmation before leaving. Kurt wished he could see Blaine before he left, but it would just make his homecoming even more special-Blaine better be there, he thought to himself.
Friday:
Kurt had only spent 24 hours in New York before he started looking for apartments. He was completely and utterly in love with everything about the city. The people, the streets, the bustle, the lights - everything. It was where he belonged, and Rachel Berry couldn't help but feel the same way.
Blaine had texted him after his last final yesterday and was already complaining about Warblers asking advice on prom outfits. Kurt chuckled at this but was soon caught up again with the glamour of New York. They were not in Ohio anymore. The competition was tomorrow and though they had practiced, New Directions needed to just let loose and sing, so Mr. Schue brought the group to a karaoke lounge.
Will had announced the plan that morning and all day the talk had been about song choice. Kurt was still clueless while Rachel and Mercedes were down to the final 2 selections in their lists. Santana and Brittany were just gonna go up there and wing it, and Kurt laughed at the possible catastrophe it had the potential of being.
Blaine had texted him that morning and Kurt had told him everything, but Blaine had stopped responding for a good 2 hours. Kurt figured he was just busy and let it go. After a day of rehearsing and sightseeing, the group went to the hotel and got dressed for their night out-all looking the absolute best-and sluttiest that they could. Kurt had gone with a navy Armani v-neck t-shirt and black skinny jeans with combat boots, no vest no nothing - he let Santana and Quinn take the ropes for the night, after quite some arguing. He had to admit, those girls knew how to make him look good. He just wished Blaine were there to see him.
As they walked into the lounge about an hour later, they began arguing on who was going to go first. Rachel quickly waltzed up to the stage and handed the man a CD, Kurt laughed at his friends constant readiness to perform. She sang 'The Wizard and I' from Wicked and the whole place was stunned. Not only was this girl gorgeous (thank you Kurt for dressing her), but she was sickly talented.
After Artie, Quinn, Puck, Tina and Sam had all performed, Kurt figured it was his turn, until he saw the shadow of someone else walking onto the stage and figured he would go after Finn.
If only Kurt had noticed that this guy was too short to be Finn.
The guy began swaying to the opening piano refrain of "That's All", and Kurt was being nudged and screamed at to look onstage. When he looked up he couldn't believe what he saw.
I can only give you love that lasts forever
And a promise to be near each time you call
And the only heart I own
For you and you alone
That's all
That's all
I can only give you country walks in springtime
And a hand to hold when leaves begin to fall
And a love whose burning light
Will warm the winter's night
That's all
That's all
There are those I am sure who have told you
They would give you the world for a toy
All I have are these arms to enfold you
And a love even time can't destroy
If you're wondering what I'm asking in return, dear
You'll be glad to know that my demands are small
Say it's me that you'll adore
For now and evermore
That's all
That's all
Kurt was shocked. He sprinted towards the stage and embraced his boyfriend with all of the strength in his body, hoping that this wasn't a dream and needed physical evidence that Blaine was here. Blaine kissed his cheek as Kurt asked, "What are you doing here!"
Blaine laughed, "Well I could always go home if u wanted me to I just fig..." he was cut off when Kurt squeezed him tighter and begged him not to go.
Blaine laughed "Babe I'm not going anywhere, after finals I asked my mom if I could come here to look at some colleges, but what she doesn't know won't hurt her. I came to see you perform!"
Kurt could only stare at this amazing boy who had flown all the way to New York just to see him compete. Then Kurt realized that he could finally walk hand in hand down a New York street and see times square with the person he loved. He kissed Blaine and the shorter boy almost fell from shock, one minute Kurt seemed to have his mind lost in thought, now they were kissing.
Blaine could get used to that.
He heard a throat clear as Kurt's choir director glared at him. "Hello Blaine, mind telling us why you're not at Dalton?" Blaine explained how he had finished his finals and didn't really want to stick around to be alone at Dalton's prom, so he used his mother's frequent flyer points to get a discounted rate on a flight, and was staying at his uncle's apartment only a few blocks away from the group's hotel.
Kurt really had an issue believing that Blaine was here, and they spent the rest of the night in each others' arms, watching the others perform. When the night ended, Blaine walked with the group back to their hotel, and kissed Kurt sweetly before letting the girls take over and bring him into the hotel.
As Blaine arrived at his uncle's place, he felt a buzz from his pocket and smiled at the message.
what did I do to deserve you? -K
Blaine really questioned what HE had done to deserve Kurt. He remembered back to the first time he had seen Kurt Hummel, almost 7 months ago.
you called for a hero, and I was available -B
Kurt looked at the message quizzically before remembering the song he sang at Invitationals back in November. He didn't even realize that Blaine was there, but Kurt realized that Blaine really was the hero to save him. Save him from his loneliness, his fears, everything, and he had no idea how he could ever thank him for that. He typed back quickly,
I love you so much Blaine, I can never truly thank you for everything you've done for me-for saving me. now get some sleep, I love you babe xoxo -K
Before dozing off to sleep, Kurt checked his phone for any last messages, and he then saw that he had gotten a response from Blaine.
forever. xox -B
