A/N: Hello! Thank you for all the nice reviews I got for the last chapter. As you know, I need to overcompensate when I make my boys fight so you might need an insulin shot after this. Also Grandpa Ed and William are here to put our favorite OTP on the spot, so that should be fun… well at least I hope you think so. If you like this chapter or think there is something I need to work on, let me know. Happy reading and until next week!
35.- CLEARING THE AIR
A fresh breeze that smelled of roses and jasmines fill his nostrils, the soft movement of the porch swing was soothing every tense muscle in his body and the warm cocoon that Blaine´s arms provided was enough comfort for Kurt to relax and face the conversation he knew he and Blaine needed to have in other to forget the nightmarish day´s events and move on.
They had made up with the amazing kiss they had shared after Kurt walked out of the room; but Blaine needed an explanation to his behavior and Kurt was going to try his best to give him one, he owed his boyfriend that much after everything he put him through that day.
Blaine never ceased to amaze Kurt, though. Any other boy in his position would have yelled at him or showed some kind of anger after everything that had happened, but not Blaine. Blaine had been so happy to welcome him back in his arm; he had kissed him as lovingly as always, ending their argument in the most simple yet beautiful way; and knowing that his blue-eyed boyfriend needed some time to gather his thoughts, instead of pushing for an explanation right away, he had taken his hand and guided him towards the main entrance to go sit on the porch swing to sit together and talk.
That´s where they were at the moment; Blaine had positioned himself on the seat with his back to one of the armrests, with one leg bended at the knee and the other hanging out to push the swing with his foot, spreading his legs in a way that Kurt could sit between them. Kurt´s back was pressed to Blaine´s chest, his long legs resting along the wide long seat crossed at the ankles and covering with his arms and hands the hands and arms Blaine had circling around his waist. Kurt sighed in happiness and relief to be where he was because for a moment he had thought he would never have a moment like this again.
"So" – Blaine kissed Kurt´s temple – "Are you ready to tell me why you would possibly think that us not being together was a good idea? Or even worse, that it would be the most beneficial thing for me?"
"Yes. I was an idiot" – Kurt sighed
"You know I love you and have the upmost respect for you sweetheart, but I would have to agree with you on that, just this time" – Blaine kissed Kurt´s cheek, smiling when he felt Kurt´s cheeks rising in a smile of his own.
"I know. I can´t believe I work myself up the way I did. I´m sorry" – Kurt kissed Blaine´s neck – "You must know that I´m really, really sorry"
"It´s ok, you don´t need to apologize anymore. You are here in my arms that´s all that matters" – Blaine tightened his arms around Kurt to prove the point – "But I would like to know what made you reach such a misplaced conclusion about us; so I can make sure the thought never crosses your mind again"
"You probably won´t be able to relate but I´ll try to explain what I was feeling and why"
"Ok"
"Well, I guess I got freaked out when I realized how wealthy your family really is"
"But you´ve always known this and it has never been an issue before"
"No, Blaine. I didn´t. I knew both your parents came from families who had a good financial position and were very successful in their careers which are also well paid for. I was ok with the big houses, fancy schools, and cars because you have never made a big show out of any of it and I was confident enough in myself for that not to affect me"
"But…"
"But, when we got here and I saw this place; it really downed on me that your family is very rich. It´s not like everyone´s grandfather can have a ranch for leisure, especially when it´s as big and beautiful as this one. I realized that a place like this would be worth millions and I felt like I was way above my league"
"Angel, you know I don´t think like that at all and my family doesn´t neither, at least my mother´s side. My father´s side is a little different story, they are not that bad but my dad makes sure to remind them that when they are with us there is no place for snobbish attitudes"
"I know you are not like that. I see it every day in the way you act around me, my family and my friends. Your family, at least the one that I´ve met so far, have been nothing but welcoming and they make me feel so at home that it feels like they are my family too"
"You don´t know how happy it makes me to hear you say that. It has always been important to me that you feel comfortable around them and you know as well as I do that they all love you"
"I know. That´s why I feel like such an idiot right now. I let the notion of you being a millionaire; make me think that I was not good enough for you. It got me thinking that there must be some other guy who would fit more into this world of yours and then you will realize that you´ve been wasting your time all along. So, I decided to end it before that happened"
"How could you possibly think that? You are the most amazing person I know and in my eyes there is no one better for me than you. I´ve told you this so many times before, why would you not believe me?"
"It´s not that. I believe you. But I also know that we are young and we haven´t been really exposed to the world. Everything could change in a few months and meeting Catherine drove the point home"
"How so?"
"Because she is everything I´m not and she is your friend. She is so polished, she is getting the best education money can buy; she is well travelled, well spoken and so beautiful. I know you are not interested in her romantically for obvious reasons but there must be a gay-male version of her somewhere and I could never compete with that"
"Of course there is no competition"
"I see" – Kurt looked down thinking that Blaine had finally noticed how lacking he was in comparison to someone like Catherine.
"No, I don´t think you do, honey" – Blaine was looking at Kurt with love and tenderness in his eyes and Kurt couldn´t make sense of any of it – "There is no competition not because you don´t measure up but because they could never be so perfectly imperfect like you, even if they tried"
"What? I don´t think I´m following you"
"Let me explain myself better.
"Ok"
"Look, I think I understand now what happened today and I want to tell you why you are wrong in every possibly account, ok?"
"You can try"
"No, I will tell you the truth and I need you to look me in the eyes so you can be sure that what I´m about to tell you is the absolute truth"
"Ok"
"Kurt, it is true that my family is more well off than most but that doesn´t make us any better than anyone else. You know it and we know it. There are many morons walking around believing they can look down to people just because of the size of their bank account but they are completely despicable as human beings and I don´t want to ever be with someone like that. You, might not have a fortune to you name but you are the most talented person I know and you could easily apply the same principle by being hurtful and demeaning towards people who are not as talented as you, but you don´t"
"That´s not true, I can be the crazy diva. We both know it"
"No. You can be one hell of a sassy diva because you are confident and you take no bullshit from anyone and that´s different. You are never mean to anyone, you always see the good in people and you always put everyone´s needs before your own. To me, that´s mind-blowing. I know that no matter what, you would never desert me or any of your friends, I know that when you say that I´m safe with you, it´s true"
"It is! I would never hurt you" – Kurt brought Blaine´s face near and kissed him softly; when they broke apart they smiled at each other – "Catherine told me that people around her were not very nice"
"No, they aren´t. You saw it yourself at Dalton. Just because there is a no-bullying policy in force it meant that everybody was welcoming and friendly. There is an undercurrent of power-plays and many of the students can be really exasperating"
"But not the Warblers"
"No, no the Warblers. That´s why they are my friends, even though they are not the wealthiest guys in school"
"But what about Catherine?"
"She is a different story. She can be overbearing sometimes but it´s because the circumstance in her life have made it necessary for her to keep her guard up as a self-preservation mechanism and she has to use it so often with everyone around her that she finds it difficult to let it go sometimes. But she is a good-hearted girl, she is my friend and she knows I won´t take it from her, so she snaps out of it when it´s just the two of us, on her own and when I make her" – Blaine chuckled at the last part.
"I understand. She did tell me about that. She seems nice once you get to know her"
"I knew you would think so. Now, is it clear that the kind of people who you thought I would be drawn to, actually are not appealing to me in the least?"
"Yes"
"Good. Now, about that nonsense that you are not good enough for me; you are totally wrong. I´m actually always thinking that you could do so much better"
"What? Are you insane? You are so loving to me and so thoughtful and supportive. You always make me want to be a better person so I could make you happy and proud to be with me"
"I am glad to hear that" – Blaine smiled – "But did you noticed something?"
"What?"
"In all of the things that you say I do for you, no once did you say that I was good enough for you for the money I had"
"Oh! It´s because it´s you I care about, nothing else."
"Exactly! My family´s money has never played an important part in our relationship, not even when we were just friends" – Blaine took Kurt´s head between his hands tenderly to make him look him in the eyes – "You have always seen me, just me. You have never tried to please me or let me get away with anything just because I had money. The most important thing to you has always been how much love I can show you with my actions and not with expensive presents. If you ever cared about money, impressing you would be so much easy. But you keep me on my toes and treat me like anybody else and I love it" – Blaine let go of Kurt´s face to circle his arms around him again – "If you are not interested in the money I have, why would it make a difference in me the money you or your family have?"
"So you like that I´m not impressed by your money?"
"I do. It makes me happy because it means that you love me, the real me. And the same applies to you. As beautiful as you are, I´m not interested in someone to be my arm candy or a trophy husband who would comply to my every request or someone who would be more interested in clubs and shopping than in me or being with me."
"I could never do that"
"I know and I love it. I love that you challenge me, I love that you like to spoil me with sweet gestures, but it´s all out of love and thoughtfulness and not because you feel like you need to do it to keep me happy, regardless of your feelings. I love to know that if my family loses all their money tomorrow it won´t make a difference because you will still be there for me and with me"
"Of course I will"
"Do you know how many of the so-called-friends-of-mine from my previous school could say that about the people they call their friends or girlfriends or boyfriends?"
"I guess that not many"
"If any. That is why there is no competition and I feel so lucky to have you. I am proud to say that my boyfriend is the most amazing person I´ve known. He is someone who has made me fall in love with him for what he has in his heart, his quick mind, his killer sense of humor, his flawless fashion sense and his BS intolerance; he is someone I trust with everything I am because he has earned it and had proven to be worthy of such trust; He is someone I gave my heart to willingly and gladly because I know he´ll keep it safe; and he is someone who makes me work really hard every day, to be the best I can be because less than that is not enough. That someone is you, only you. In my eyes, the richest of guys has nothing on you; not now, not ever"
Kurt had tears running down his face. Blaine´s speech had been so heart-felt that he couldn´t believe how he could possibly have thought that they were not meant to be together. He had been a complete fool before, but that stupidity was ending now. He might not come from money, but that was not what Blaine needed or wanted. Blaine wanted and needed him as much as he needed Blaine, nothing else mattered.
"I love you so, so much" – Kurt said with a quavering voice trying to convey how deeply he felt and that the message had been received loud and clear.
"I love you, too. I will always love you. Never doubt that ever again, please"
"I won´t, I promise"
"Good!" – Blaine brought Kurt´s face towards his and kissed him for all he was worth. It was an amazing kiss. It started out as desperate like neither could ever have enough, but then, it slowed down to a tender dance of lips and tongues; each taking their time to explore each other´s mouths lovingly and throughout.
"Never"- Blaine kissed Kurt´s nose when they broke apart -"ever" - then he kiss Kurt´s right cheek -"think" - he kissed Kurt´s left cheek -"of leaving me"- he pecked Kurt´s lips -"ever again"- he kissed Kurt´s forehead.
"I won´t" – Kurt breathed out
"And this is the last time we discuss this. Everything is forgiven and forgotten. I don´t want you to beat yourself up for this and I want you to enjoy the rest of your time here without thinking about this again"
"I´ll try"
"I know you and trying is not going to cut it for me. I mean it, Kurt. Promise me you will let this go"
"Fine. I promise"
"Great. I´ll take your word for it. Now come here, we have a lot of catching up to do when it comes to my daily dose of kisses"
"You are such a dork sometimes" – Kurt giggled and Blaine basked in the sound. He loved to see a happy giggling Kurt.
"Yes, but I am your dork. Yours and no one else´s"
"I´ll keep it in mind"
"Yeah, you do that"
They kissed several more times and then they went back to their previous positions. Kurt felt untouchable and treasured with Blaine holding him so tight. He finally understood that he had a lot to offer for someone who apparently had it all, someone like Blaine; and it felt great. He knew he was going to make it up to Blaine somehow and that Blaine would complain about it but he didn´t care; he had the most wonderful boyfriend in the world and he was going to show him how much he appreciated the amazing person he was. He needed a plan and he thought of the perfect person to help him.
They held each other in comfortable silence for who knew how long until the evening breeze started to make them a little bit chilly. Blaine asked Kurt if he wanted to go back inside but he refused saying that they had an amazing view of the sunset and he wanted to watch the sun sink behind the mountains. As an alternative, Blaine left Kurt for the briefest of time to go inside and get a blanket. He positioned himself the way they were before and then he threw the blanket over the both of them. Each one was busy with his own thoughts, when Blaine snorted.
"What?" – Kurt asked out of curiosity
"Nothing" –Blaine answered without being able to erase the smile from his face
"Blaine. Devon. Anderson. As your beloved boyfriend and best friend, I demand to know what made you snort like that" – Kurt gave Blaine his best bitch glance
"Fine, you win. I´ll tell you. But only because it will show you how amazing you truly are and how lucky I am to be able to call you mine" – Blaine looked at Kurt with warmth and love in his eyes
"Your exaggerating again" – Kurt rolled his eyes
"Are you going to hear me out or not?"
"Sorry. Please, tell me"
"Ok. I was laughing in happiness because it´s just kind of funny to me, now that everything is good between us, that you always go on the opposite direction to the norm and it´s absolutely fascinating to me"
"What do you mean?"
"Well, most people always dream of snatching a good catch; that being translated as someone with a lot of money and who would help them climb socially, have privileges and all that comes with it; if they manage to get want they want, they would go to the end of the Earth to keep it like that. But you?; you are with someone who could do all those things for you and you don´t want it; even worse, you freaked out because of it and you were willing to give it all up because you thought it was the best, not for you, but for me."
"You´re right. When you put it like that it sounds like I´ve lost my mind. I must have hit my head pretty hard when I was a kid" – Kurt snorted
"No. You´re one of a kind, you´re authentic and unique and you were brought up in an amazing loving home which made you the amazing loving person you are now and I am the lucky guy you randomly stopped to ask for directions on a staircase"
"No, I´m the lucky one. What James said it´s true. I´m difficult to handle but you manage to not only put up with me but help me be a better version of myself; and in the middle of all that, you find the time to actually love me and let me know you love me"
"Yes, you are a handful and keeping up with you is hard work but you are more than worth it and loving you is the easiest part, you know? Loving you comes really easily to me"
"You can get really sappy but I love you, honey"
"I love you, Angel"
Blaine leaned in to kiss his boyfriend one more time. He was really trying to make up for all the time they´d spent apart that day and they were so immerse in each other that they didn´t noticed the car approaching to the house until the headlights where hitting them head on and the brightness made them break the kiss. They smiled when the lights were out and Blaine´s parents and grandparents were stepping out of the car.
"Hey B! From the car it seemed like your tongue was playing squash with Kurt´s tonsils so I think it´s safe to say that you two have made up"
"Oh my gosh!" – Kurt buried his red face in the crook of Blaine´s neck
"Grandpa!"
"What? I´m just saying"
"What am I ever going to do with you?" – Blaine groaned while running his hand soothingly up and down Kurt´s side.
"Love me for the amazing grandfather I am. What else is there to do?" – Edward said like it was obvious -"Now give your grandpa a high-five for the great news!" – Edward presented his right palm to Blaine who had no other choice but to high-five. Everybody laughed.
"Dad, cut the boys some slack please" – Victoria kissed his father´s cheek – "Now, I will go to see what Anabeth is making for dinner" – Victoria looked at the boys before walking into the house – "I´m glad to see that you two worked things out" – She gave them both a smile and a kiss on the forehead and left.
"Thank you" – Kurt said timidly, he still felt a little embarrassed by Ed´s comment. Blaine just beamed at his mother.
"I am too" – Norah interjected – "I guess you will want some more time by yourselves before dinner so I´ll just go to kitchen as well" – She blew them a kiss.
"I´ll go to the studio to check some emails before dinner" – William commented but before following everyone inside he patted Blaine´s shoulder – "whatever it was I´m happy to see you both going back to normal. I´m proud of you two for working through your issues; being in a relationship is never easy and I think you are finally realizing that, but if you are honest with each other and believe in what you have, the rough patches are just that, patches"
"Thank you dad"
"Thank you, William"
William smiled at the boy and walked towards the house.
"So, in all seriousness" – Edward said after William disappeared through the door – "You are fine now? Because it really broke my heart seeing you so distant from each other this morning"
"Yes, grandpa. We really are fine"
"It was all my fault, grandpa Ed. I was just being silly but I promise I won´t make the same mistake again. Blaine and I are fine. We are better than fine actually"
"Good. I am really happy to know that" – Edwards smiled at the boys – "I guess we are back to being honey, sweetheart and love instead of just Blaine? Right?"
"Yes" – Blaine answered happily
"Huh?" – Kurt questioned
"It´s just that grandpa noticed that during the time you were upset you would call me by my name instead of any of the endearments you have for me. For my grandfather, that was a huge tell-tale that something was wrong between us"
"Oh, I see. I didn´t notice I did that"
"You did. I noticed too and it felt odd, I must confess"
"I am so sorry, honey"
"Angel, you promised no more apologies. It´s all ok now. I´ll just keep the reference for the future. Now I know that if you start calling me by my name it means I´m in trouble" – Blaine winked at Kurt.
"You two are just the cutest thing I´ve seen and I´ve seen baby lambs being born and those are really cute"- Edward beamed at them.
"Thanks Grandpa Ed. I´m glad to know we triumph over baby lambs" – Kurt said and they all laughed.
"Ok. I´ll go inside and see what the ladies are up to. I´ll leave you alone so you can go back at playing with each other´s tonsils"
"Grandpa!" – Blaine and Kurt yelled together
"What? You need the practice. You grandma and I were and still are a solid A+. Last time I caught Tory and Will getting frisky I gave them an A-. You two can´t be more than a B+. So get back to work. I´ll see you later" – Edward left snorting at the boys´ shocked faces.
"Don´t. Say. A. Word" – Blaine said to Kurt and chuckled in embarrassment
"I wasn´t gonna" – Kurt couldn´t believe the things that would come out of Edward´s mouth sometimes – "But yet again, your grandpa has a valid point"
"Which was?"
"Practice makes perfect" – Kurt gave Blaine a devilish smile that made him melt on the spot and he launched himself to kiss his boyfriend with renewed force and purpose.
Dinner that night was a very happy event, so much different than lunch had been. There were lots of laughter and happy banter with Kurt taking part of all of it like everybody else, in the best of spirits. Being true to tradition, Blaine and Kurt were more affectionate than usual as they typically were after an argument or a fight; but they tried to tone it down in front of the grown-ups around the table. They limited themselves to holding hands, putting arms around the other´s shoulder or waist, kisses on the cheek and the use of endearments to address each other. They abstained from kisses on the mouth as they didn´t want to risk getting a review and a bad grade from Edward. That comment was still fresh in their minds and they certainly didn´t want to relive it.
After dinner, they all went back to the living room for some board games and some hot chocolate which tasted just like heaven as the cool summer breeze swept through the open glass doors. It was decided that Blaine only had the next morning to teach Kurt how to ride a horse as they all wanted to go on a tour around for Kurt to see all the property, in the afternoon.
Kurt felt like he had his work cut out for him but this time was really going to make an effort to learn and the idea of Catherine coming by to help as well, was shockingly appealing. He was going to make sure Blaine dedicated some time for his friend as he couldn´t imagine how it would be to have an ocean between you and your best friend and Catherine was rather a lonely girl.
When it was near midnight they all decided to call it a night. Blaine walked Kurt to his room and kissed him good night as always, only this good-night kiss was not as innocent as the ones before. It had been a couple of days since they last had the chance to be really alone and just make out so they both were getting a little desperate to have a moment like that again.
Kurt was really amazed at his own reaction to the kiss and at how things had turned out for him. He was pretty much making out in the middle of the hallway with Blaine Anderson. The same Blaine Anderson who had been his best friend for months before they first kissed. He remembered that first kiss and how scared he had been for his lack of experience and for what it had meant for them. That kiss had been so tentative with neither of them really sure of what they were doing and pretty much going on instinct; and now after many months of practice, a lot of practice to be exact, he was skillfully showing his boyfriend how much he loved him and how much he wanted him, loving every moan and gasp he could make him utter. He knew that it should be weird to be this intimate with someone who had been and still was such a close friend, but it didn´t feel weird at all; it never did, not even at the beginning. The best part was that Blaine seemed to be so attracted to him and to be enjoying these intense moments as much as he did.
"Blaine" – Kurt manage to moaned softly – "we should stop"
"I know" – Blaine said and gasped before he reattached his lips to Kurt continuing with his assault.
"Seriously" – Kurt manage to say when Blaine left his lips in favor of the spot on his neck that they both knew drove him crazy – "if we don´t stop now I´m gonna start taking your shirt off in the middle of the hallway"
"Mmm… sounds tempting" – Blaine breathed out and went back to Kurt´s neck while Kurt ran his fingers through his hair and the feeling was just delicious.
"As tempting as it sounds, I think you should listen to Kurt, son" – William said walking towards them
"Oh jeez!" – Kurt was blushing like crazy and tried desperately to accommodate his shirt.
"Dad!" – Blaine was as red as Kurt
"Now boys, I know you´re young and in love and all that; but I think you´ll agree with me when I say that the middle of the hallway at midnight, with everybody else trying to sleep in such close quarters, is not the best time nor place for this"
"Of course! I apologize William" – Kurt just wanted to die on the spot.
"Yes dad, we´re sorry… We are going to bed now… Separate beds that is… I mean… not that we are… we are not… you know…" – Blaine was completely all over the place
"Honey" – Kurt stopped Blaine´s rambling – "I say this with all the love in my heart. Please, stop talking" – Kurt said adamantly
"Yeah, absolutely. I´m shutting up right now" – Blaine pressed his lips together for good measure.
"It´s ok. I´m on my way to get some water so I´ll leave for one last SMALL kiss, before you both go to sleep" – William gave them a pointed look – "in separate beds like Blaine so rightfully pointed out, that is"
"Sure" – Kurt was even redder and Blaine just looked at his feet nodding.
William walked down to the end of the hallway and turned the corner towards the stairs. When he was sure the boys couldn´t hear him, he chuckled trying to suppress his laughter. He was willing to bet that neither boy was going to be able to look at him the next day. It was so much fun being on the other side.
"Please tell me that this did not just happen" – Kurt covered his face with hands
"If you mean my father catching us making out with you talking about undressing me and me agreeing more than willingly to it? Yes, it did happen"
"Oh, dear Gaga Blaine! This is mortifying! How am I supposed to look at your dad in the eyes tomorrow?"
"Angel, don´t freak out. He seemed to take it pretty well. I could have been worse"
"Don´t freak out? It could have been worse? How?!"
"Well, if he had come by one minute later he would have seen us making out half dress in the middle of the hallway"
"Blaine!"
"What? You know it´s true!"
"Fine! Just for that, no more kisses for you tonight mister"
"But Kuuuuurt!"
"Nop. Not happening. I´m also mad about the separate beds thing"
"I was just trying to make sure he didn´t get the wrong idea"
"Yeah, because why he would do that?!"
"Sweetheart, please calm down. If you think about it´s actually kind of funny. Something we can tell the kids one day" – Blaine went for humor but Kurt just stared at him with a stunned look on his face – "Kurt? Are you alright?"
"Yeah" – Kurt said softly
"Are you sure? You look stunned. Did I say something wrong?"
"No, I mean. I was just surprised"
"Why?"
"Because I know you were just playing around but…"
"But what?"
"You said this was going to be a great story to tell the kids some day, as in our kids"
"Oh!"
"Do you think about us that way? As having a family together someday?"
"You really want to know? Honestly? Without freaking out on me no matter the answer?"
"Yes"
"Then yes. I think about us like that. I know we are still very young but the more time I spend with you the more in love with you I am. So the idea of us being together and having a family in the future has been running through my mind every now and then"
"Really? Since when?"
"Well, probably after we say I-love-you for the first time. Are you ok with that?"
"I think so. I mean I have to confess that the idea has crossed my mind, too; but I didn´t know you were thinking about our future like this"
"It´s just that I really believe in us. You and I together is the best thing it has ever happened to me and I know now that we are meant to be together. Actually, risking to freaking you out a little bit more, I have to say that at the beginning my thoughts would start with IF, Kurt and I get married…; But, for quite some time now, they start with WHEN, Kurt and I get married...; Because there is no doubt in my mind that you and I are endgame"
"Wow!" – Kurt breathed out
"Kurt, are you alright? I freaked you out, didn´t I?"
"No" – Kurt said with a smile and tears were running down his cheek – "That´s about the sweetest thing I have ever heard"
"So, you are ok with me thinking so far ahead?" – Blaine looked hopeful as he dried Kurt´s tears with his thumbs.
"Yes. I mean. We are still a long way from that but it makes me happy to know that you love me so much as to envision a future together"
"Of course I do"
"You know I feel the same way, right?" – Kurt looked concerned that maybe in his state of shock he had made Blaine believe that it was a one-sided feeling – "I want forever with you too"
"I do now" – Blaine smiled that smile that had Kurt´s heart stopping whenever he saw it
"I love you so much Blaine Anderson"
"I love you too, with all my heart, Kurt Hummel"
The two boys forgot completely about the encounter with William, the little quarrel they were having because of it and just kissed; only this kiss was not like the one they were sharing before where it was all about passion and want. This one was filled with pure love and it carried a silent promise, a promise of doing whatever it took to stay together because now they knew it was something they both really wanted.
