Hi! Ok so this is very short but Intensewhatever asked for this and who was I to let a good prompt go to waste? Plus it fits, and will set up the next part well so here you go! Hopefully the next part will be up before the end of the week. Thank you all so much for your kind reviews, you are all so lovely!
Kurt caught sight of Isabelle leaving her office and jumped up to talk to her. "Isabelle," he hurried after her as she power walked down the hall. "Do you have a second?" She veered off into the break room and Kurt followed.
"Of course, sit." He did as he was told and Isabelle took the seat opposite of him. Sometimes small things like this would still get him flustered. He was sitting down with Isabelle Klempt, talking like old friends, in the offices of Vogue. "What is it you need to talk about Kurt?"
"Well Cooper called yesterday,"
"Oh my gosh!" She exclaimed cutting in. "Did Blaine get a closer appointment?"
"Yes, Dr. Yates had a cancelation and he asked if we could fly out there for the 11th… which is two days from now." Isabelle smiled at his nervousness at asking her for days off.
"Take the rest of the week off Kurt, it'll be hard but we will just have to manage without you."
"Thank you Isabelle, so so much. I can tell that Blaine is trying to down play how nervous he is about this and I need to be there for him. Thank you again."
"Don't sweat it Kurt, now scoot." She motioned to the elevator and Kurt face scrunched up in confusion.
"Don't you want me to finish the day?"
"Nah," she said with a dismissive wave of the hand. "Go celebrate with that dream boat of yours."
He found Blaine in their bed; their bed- god did that sound so good to say, flipping through a magazine. He was still in his work clothes that he wore when washing dishes at the Starbucks around the corner. Kurt usually didn't let him wear the ensemble around the house, in fear of their apartment permanently smelling like dish soap and stale coffee, but he couldn't be bothered to care at the moment. He waves to pull Blaine's attention from next month's edition of Vogue, (Kurt got the issues early which was just another perk of the job) he set the magazine on the bedside table and rose his eyebrows as if to say "go on".
"Isabelle gave me the rest of the week off."
"So you can come with me?" Blaine asked, his eyes lighting up.
"Yeah!" Kurt climbed onto the bed; he sat cross-legged in front of Blaine, their knees touching. "We're lucky there was a cancellation, I don't know if I could've gone during the school year. I'm so excited this is finally happening!" Blaine's smile started to turn down at the edges, his eyes losing a bit of their light as what looked like anxiety filled them. "Hey, hey baby what's wrong?"
Kurt could see the wet sheen over Blaine's eyes. Kurt knew he was nervous that something would go wrong or it wouldn't work but he had no idea that it was this bad. He leaned forward and put a hand on Blaine's thigh and started rubbing soothing circles over his grimy work pants. "Kurt will you be disappointed if the doesn't work? Will you… will you still want to be with me? Will you still love me?"
"Oh, Blaine baby," Blaine looked to the bed spread and studied the pattern, he almost looked ashamed that he'd asked it, but he had always been open with Kurt, and Kurt was glad, if a little hurt, that Blaine shared his concerns with him. He grabbed his chin with two fingers, forced him to look. Blaine looked so worried; Kurt feels his heart break a little bit. "Where is this coming from? How could you think I couldn't love you?
"You're just so excited for it and I… I'm not sure it's gonna work Kurt." Blaine ran his hands over his eyes in a vain attempt to stop the tears. They just kept rolling down his pink cheeks; with each new track Kurt felt his heart break open a little more.
"Honey I'm just excited for you. I could care less if you ever hear again. You are absolutely perfect if you ask me. I just… I know how much you've wanted this. If it works great, if it doesn't then it doesn't. Nothing will change. I will love you just as much as I love you today. Ok?" Blaine sniffled, bit his lip and nodded before throwing himself into Kurt's arms letting him hold him. Kurt rocked him to try to reassure him that, yes he was here. He wasn't going anywhere. He would never go anywhere because Blaine was the one, the one he couldn't imagine his life without.
"I'm sorry." Blaine told him looking absolutely beaten when he detached himself from Kurt's middle. "I'm just being paranoid… I'm sor-" Kurt grabbed his hands mid sign.
"You have nothing to be sorry for B. I don't blame you for questioning me, I know that people haven't always been there for you or nice to you but- just know that I will be, ok? I'll always be there for you, as long as you'll let me." Blaine looked up at him through his lashes; he gave him a warm smile.
"I guess you'll always be there for me then."
"I guess so."
