Five Years Later

I walked into the small living room with two steaming mugs of hot chocolate in my hands. I stepped over a pillow that had somehow gotten itself across the room and on the floor. Careful not to spill any, I set down the two mugs on the small coffee table in front of the couch. Then I smiled and sat down in Blaine's lap. Blaine naturally wrapped his arms around my thin frame. I put one arm around Blaine's shoulders and the other on his chest.

Blaine smiled at me. "Thank you" he said, referring to his mug of hot chocolate that had four white marshmallows floating in it.

My response was slow because I was deep in thought. Today was a special day and seeing Blaine only made me think about it. "Huh? Oh, you're welcome."

Blaine snickered. "What are you thinking about?"

I blushed a bit. "Do you know what today is?"

"Um..." Blaine paled a bit. "No. But before you get mad, I could have sworn the anniversary of the day we met was last month because we went out to dinner. Please don't hit me." He cowered, expecting me to get mad. Well, not mad. More annoyed. When I am passionate about something and no one notices or comments, I tend to get a bit annoyed and need to vent. But I wasn't upset now.

I just laughed. "You're right. It was last month."

Blaine breathed a large sigh of relief. "Okay, so what is it?"

"Today is the anniversary of the day you turned Human and came back to me" I smiled and said quietly.

Blaine smiled at me with that adorable look of admiration. "Is it now?"

"Yes! I can't believe you forgot" I rolled his eyes and thumped my hand against Blaine's chest playfully.

"Sorry" Blaine said meekly. "But in my defense, I've only been human for five years."

"Yeah and sometimes you act like it too" I laughed. "But I'll be honest with you. I think today's anniversary was more important than the anniversary of the day we met."

"Why is that?"

"Well, I'm not gonna lie, but when we first met, I was kinda scared of you. You knew all about me and said you had all these powers. I was kinda creeped out. But this day, five years ago exactly, it was special. I mean, the start of the day and up until after school was hard for me. I cried enough to fill up a bath tub. But once you came back, it became the best day ever. It was the day of a beautiful relationship. And the day that a crush became...more" I said to him. I knew that if I looked in his eyes, I'd start to tear up so I casually looked away and avoided eye contact.

Blaine smiled and hugged me against him. "I love you so much."

It's been five years and he's said that every day. And it never fails to stop my breath for a second each time. Honestly, I can't believe it. I was sure I'd grow old alone and be one of those freaky people who hoard cats.

"I love you too" I said, kissing his temple.

"Okay so let's celebrate. Make this our new anniversary" Blaine said. "Let's...go get ice cream."

I scoffed. "Getting fat isn't a celebration" I informed him.

Blaine laughed. "You're not fat."

"I never said I was. I just said I don't to become fat."

"One ice cream cone won't make you fat" Blaine said.

"Nah, I'm not hungry either. Anyways, I'm fine celebrating right here right now. In your arms, where I belong" I said but blushed. Sometimes I said the cheesiest things and I regretted it right away.

Blaine just grinned and tightened his grip around my waist. I leaned into the embrace. Some couples need to exotic vacations to be happy or lots of money. But look at us. We're on some old couch I found for a steal at some closing warehouse in our small New York apartment that we've had for two years. And I right now, I couldn't be happier or more in love.

"You haven't had any of your hot chocolate yet" I said quietly. Did he know?

"Yeah, but you're comfortable" Blaine smiled up at me.

"It'll get cold" I said.

"Oh, well, I can re-heat it" Blaine shrugged. I was beginning to panic. Maybe he knew.

I decided to play it cool and try and set an example. So I reached down and took my mug and sipped it.

"Yum" I smiled.

Blaine laughed. "Nice mustache. Really suits you. And it sorta matches your hair, too."

I froze. One thing I hate is people staring at an imperfection I have. This was an imperfection. I gasped and used one hand to cover the hot chocolate mustache. I looked around the messy apartment for a box of tissues. Blaine laughed and pulled my hand away.

"Don't worry, I got this" he said and licked my mustache away.

"Ew, Blaine, that's gross" I giggled.

"It tasted good" Blaine grinned. "I want more, actually." He reached down and grabbed his mug, careful not to spill any. I watched him sip it. Just a small sip. I guess it was cool enough for him to gulp it down because I watched him do just that. I was so nervous. Then, just as I had planned it out, he reached the bottom. He had drained the cup and peered in it. He did a double take. I smiled to myself. I had planned this for months. It took some effort like figuring out which hand Blaine uses to hold a mug so it'd be right side up.

"Kurt?" He asked me slowly. "Why does it say 'Marry Me' in here?"

He pulled his eyes away from the bottom of the cup and stared into mine. I gave him a half smile.

"That's because..." I began slowly. I took the mug from Blaine's hands and set it on the table so I could properly hold both of his hands. "Blaine, I love you. And I just couldn't wait any longer to do this. I love you and I have since we met. Well, actually, as we just discussed, not right away because you were kinda creepy then. But I totally thought you were cute. Anyways, the point is that you've been there for me each and every day and I can't thank you enough. You make me so happy and I don't know what I'd do without you. I know we've only known each other for five years, which by the way, has felt like five minutes, and I know we're still young, but I have never been so sure about anything in my life." I reached down my shirt and pulled up a thing gold chain. On the end of the chain was a ring. I unclipped it from around my neck and held the ring up. "So, Blaine, will you marry me?" I held my breath as I waited for an answer. Everything I said was true. Blaine was my whole life and I didn't want it to end. I loved him and wanted to spend my life with him.

Blaine looked at me. Then at the ring. Then at me. Then at the ring. I was getting nervous. Then Blaine cupped his hands around my face and kissed me.

"Kurt, you're adorable. Of course I'll marry you" Blaine whispered. I smiled. Yes!

I slipped the ring on Blaine's finger. "I love you" I smiled at him.

"I love you more" Blaine said, looking at the ring then back at me. I was engaged now. Woah! That was a hard one to digest. It was all so crazy. But good crazy.

Blaine kissed me again and hugged me tightly. "Now I have a question for you. Why did you keep the ring on a chain around your neck?"

I blushed. "I've had the ring for a while now. Like two months. And I wanted to carry it around just in case I wanted a spur-of-the-moment proposal. I was gonna keep it in the box, but it was too noticeable in the tight clothing I wear. So I put it on a chain so you couldn't see it" I explained.

Blaine laughed and tapped my nose with his finger. "Very smart."

I laughed and leaned against him as he wrapped his arms around me tightly.

"Blaine?" I asked.

"Yeah?"

"Remember when you said you'd save me?"

"Yes I do."

"Well, you did. You saved me from loneliness, sadness, heartbreak and the jocks who bullied me" I said. "Thank you."

Blaine smiled his gorgeous smile. "I'll always be here for you. I'll always save you."

And that he did.
