Epilogue
Kurt paced nervously around the lounge of the apartment that he had shared with Blaine, Rachel and Finn for over 5 years. None of them ever wanted to leave because it was an amazingly reasonable price and they had gotten so accustomed to the company, that they never wanted it to be gone.
It was a chilly March night in 2017, and tonight Blaine would be graduating grad school with a bachelors degree in music and education. Kurt knew how hard Blaine had worked to get there, because he had witnessed all of the sleepless nights spent in front of his textbooks.
Kurt knew that tonight was a special night for Blaine, but he had a special plan that he knew would change their lives forever.
To say that Kurt Hummel was nervous would be the understatement of the year. As he waited for Blaine to get home, which was bound to be any second now, he flicked a small black box around in his coat pocket-just to make sure it was still there and ohmygod he was actually going to propose to Blaine.
He heard a set of keys from outside and heard the lock jingle, so he acted cool and sat on the couch, flipping open an available People magazine. He heard Blaine walk over and place a kiss on his temple before plopping down next to him.
"Are you excited?" Kurt asked, trying to keep his voice as calm as humanly possible.
"Yeah, actually. I don't know I woke up this morning and something just felt different, but in an amazing way. Like something amazing was gonna happen today." Blaine said, an awestruck look on his face. Kurt panicked
He knows. HOW COULD HE KNOW? Rachel. Rachel must've told him. I can't believe her! Ugh now he's waiting for it! But no... play it cool Hummel, just go with your plan and see if he plays along.
"So I recorded a new demo today! I've been working with this amazing songwriter and he needed a voice to record his song, so he asked if I would!" Kurt said cheekily. Kurt had began working at a large-scale recording studio in midtown about a year ago and loved his job, especially because it allowed him to do stuff like this.
He handed Blaine his iPod and smiled nervously as Blaine placed the headphones in his ears.
As the song started, Blaine stood up from the couch and began pacing, listening intently to the gorgeous tone of his boyfriend's voice.
Forever can never be long enough for me
To feel like I've had long enough with you
Forget the world now we won't let them see
But there's one thing left to do
Now that the weight has lifted
Love has surely shifted my way
Marry Me
Today and every day
Marry Me
If I ever get the nerve to say
Hello in this cafe
Say you will
Mm-hmm
Say you will
Mm-hmm
Together can never be close enough for me
To feel like I am close enough to you
You wear white and I'll wear out the words I love you
And you're beautiful
Now that the wait is over
And love and has finally shown him my way
Marry me
Today and every day
Marry me
If I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe
Say you will
Mm-hmm
Say you will
Mm-hmm
Promise me
You'll always be
Happy by my side
I promise to
Sing to you
When all the music dies
And marry me
Today and everyday
Marry me
If I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe
Say you will
Mm-hmm
Say you will
Marry me
Blaine listened for about two minutes until the song was finished, and he absolutely loved it. Kurt's voice was phenomenal and breathtaking, as always.
Blaine turned to face Kurt and was met with the image of Kurt on one knee, shaking at how nervous he was.
Blaine gasped. He knew what this was and he couldn't believe it. He wanted to spend the rest of his life with Kurt, he had known that years ago-but now it all seemed so real. As he looked adoringly into the other boy's eyes, Kurt began to talk.
"Blaine, everyone says that you can't find your soul mate at 17, but sometimes, there's that one occasion-an exception. When I first met you in senior year, you literally swept me off my feet-and pulled me to the ground. But you never knew that I'd fallen for you months before then. I first heard you sing and...I felt something -different, in me. Like something had changed. I never would have imagined that sneaking into your performance because of Rachel Berry would lead me to where I am- where we are, right now. I never thought in a million years that I would find someone like you, and there you were. You make me want to be a better, stronger person for you. If there's a god up there, I'd thank him for sending you to me every day. I never want to live without you around. I want us to be together everyday until we get old and weak and you have to feed me soup, and I want us to just be together and make each other happy for the rest of our lives. If you don't want this PLEASE stop me now, because I don't know if I can keep going if you're just going to reject me..."
Blaine had tears in his eyes, because everything Kurt had just said was an exact image of what he wanted for the rest of his life, and the fact that Kurt was putting himself down and getting ready for rejection absolutely broke Blaine's heart. He sunk down to his knees so he was at the same level as this gorgeous man who he was completely completely in love with.
"Now you stop that. I love you more than I've ever loved anyone in my entire life, and there's nobody I want to spend my life with unless its you."
Kurt began to well up, but quickly composed himself. He spoke softly, almost mutely,
"Well then, Blaine Everett Anderson, will you marry me?"
Blaine kissed him so quickly that he didn't even remember that he really hadn't given Kurt an answer. He broke away from the kiss as calmly as he possibly could and rested his forehead against Kurt's. The other boy laughed, somewhat nervously but still excitedly,
"So can I take that as a yes?"
"Yes."
After the two went to Blaine's graduation ceremony, where they told Finn, Rachel and Blaine's mom about the engagement, they returned back to the apartment. Rachel and Finn had gone out to dinner and Blaine's mom was staying with her brother uptown. The two were alone and they sat in bed, watching late night reruns of Friends and cuddling with each other, as they had been doing for almost 6 years.
Blaine looked up at his beautiful fiance and cuddled into him tighter. Kurt placed a kiss on Blaine's temple and nuzzled him closer.
"I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you"
Blaine said quietly, reveling in the idea that this was real; he and Kurt were going to be married.
Kurt looked down at him,
"Promise you'll never leave me?"
His voice was nervous and scared, but inside he knew that what he and Blaine had was almost never found, and they'd be together forever.
Blaine looked up at him and stroked his jaw lightly,
"Never."
It was a simple response, but meant everything.
Kurt's next question, he already knew the answer to, but still needed to hear it.
"Promise you'll always love me? even when I'm old and sick and drive you crazy?"
Blaine laughed.
"I'll love you forever Kurt Hummel."
