Santana and Brittany didn't leave for about an hour, but Blaine's eyes never left Kurt. He felt too giddy with love to look away even for a second.
"Alright, alright," Santana said finally. "We'll get out of here so you two can screw already."
A blush crept up on Kurt's face that Blaine had not seen in years, and if was possible to love him anymore than Blaine already did, then he certainly did in that moment.
Brittany tilted her head in confusion, but Santana just shook her head and took her hand. "Come on, Brit."
"Later!" Santana called over her shoulder as the door closed behind them.
Blaine walked over to Kurt and pulled him into a crushing hug. "Hi."
"Hi," Kurt said slightly nervous.
Blaine pulled away so he could look at him dead on. "Did you – "
"Of course not."
"You don't even know what I was going to ask."
"Yes, I do. You were going to ask if I just said that we were in it for the long run because Santana was pressuring me."
"So, you didn't?" Blaine whispered as though if he said it too loud then Kurt would realize what he had just agreed to and take it back.
"No, you know how I feel about you, Blaine. You and I were always it for me. Since the first time I saw you. You know that, right?"
Blaine's eyes lit up. "But the trial run – "
Kurt laughed. "Screw the trial run. I know we haven't had any blow out fights or tested our relationship in a major way, but Blaine, we've done that all before and we always end up right back here. The trial run was just a way for to convince myself that I wasn't absolutely insane instantly deciding that I was going to have a child without months of thought into it. But this is what I want, Blaine. It really is."
Blaine let out a shaky laugh and realized he was crying. "I love you so much."
Kurt pulled Blaine back in and began kissing off his tears. "I love you too."
"I love you more," Blaine challenged childishly.
Kurt grinned. "Just shut up and kiss me."
Blaine obliged instantly. After they kissed for a few minutes Blaine tried to take things further, but Kurt stopped him.
"Not so fast, mister."
"But –"
"No. We still have a lot to discuss."
"I – you're right," Blaine sighed.
Kurt walked over to the couch and sat down. Blaine followed him on his heels and cuddled into his side. Kurt laughed at him but relaxed into his touch. "I agree to spend the rest of my life with you so you decide to get all clingy on me. Unbelievable," Kurt teased.
Blaine just sighed contently.
"So, living situations?" Kurt suggested as a starting point.
Blaine sat up a little straighter to show that he was taking this seriously, but did not move even a fraction of an inch away from Kurt. "Okay."
"My place obviously isn't big enough for us and a child so I was thinking I could just move in here permanently –"
"When?" Blaine cut in.
"Now."
"Yes."
Kurt laughed. "We could also look for a new place," Kurt said reminding Blaine that there were other options.
"Well, I like it here, but if you want to look somewhere else that's fine."
"I like it here, too."
"Okay."
"I will have to give it some personal touches, however."
"Of course." Blaine smiled.
"We've kind of been avoiding the topic of your daughter – "
"Our daughter," Blaine corrected.
"Our daughter," Kurt amended. "How far along is Brittany?"
"5 months."
"Wow, she's not even showing," Kurt said, trying to cover up his nerves.
"It's okay to be nervous you know," Blaine said. "This is a big step in both our lives. I get nervous, too."
Kurt rolled his eyes. "It would be nice if you would show it every once and a while."
"To be honest, I was trying to hide because I was scared I'd freak you out. If you'd rather I was more open – "
"Yes, please. You're so strong all the time, Blaine. It's okay to be human."
"I don't –"
"You do."
"Alright, I'll add act more human to the to-do list."
Kurt laughed, but his face slipped quickly hack into nerves. "We're going to have to tell people. Like everyone."
"Is that a bad thing? I 'm excited."
"Me too, it's just – I haven't told my dad yet."
"Oh."
After their breakup, none of their friends really took side, but Burt saw how broken Kurt was, and even though he had never said it, both Kurt and Blaine assumed that he never forgave Blaine for it.
"I'll tell him with you if you want."
"You'd do that for me?"
"Of course."
"I love you."
"I love you too."
"Fancy a trip to Ohio?"
"Alright. I'll have to get things sorted out at the store first."
"Okay. It will just be a weekend thing. I haven't even started my job yet, so it wouldn't be very professional to request time off already."
"Gotcha."
The next day at the store Blaine called Lacey into his office.
"I know I've been missing a lot of work lately, but I need to go away this weekend as well."
"You don't need to explain yourself; you're the boss here," Lacey reminded.
"I know, but it hasn't been entirely fair to you. If you don't want to work all weekend I can ask someone else. I don't mind."
"It's not a problem. Promise. I could use the money, anyhow."
"Alright. As you know, I'm going to be missing a lot more work when my daughter is born –"
"Daughter?" she smiled.
"Santana accidently let it slip yesterday."
"Congratulations, Blaine."
"Thank you. Anyway, I'll need someone running this place while I'm gone. I'd like to offer you a managing position. It will come with a significant pay raise of course."
"Blaine, are you sure – "
"Positive."
"I'm not even twenty-one."
"I'm well aware."
"And I'm in college."
"Only part time, and I trust you immensely, Lacey. I will be promoting one of the other new employees to the same position so that you will not have to work too much and can go to class, but you will be the main manager."
"Okay," she breathed out. "I'll take it."
He grinned. "Fantastic."
"Where are you going this weekend?" Lacey pried.
"We're visiting Kurt's parents."
"Meeting the in-laws. Big step."
"I've already met them, Lacey. Many times," Blaine reminded.
"I know, but this time it's when you two are going to be together for the rest of your lives."
Blaine grinned like an idiot. "I know." He looked down at his watch. "Time to get home and pack."
"It's not nine o'clock yet, Anderson."
"It's quarter to. Don't be such a downer."
"Yes, what if someone needs a guitar at 8:45 at night? It could be an emergency." She laughed. "I'm just teasing you because I'm jealous. Go on. Go home to your soulmate. I'll lock up."
"Do you want to meet someone? I could set you up."
She rolled her eyes. "Go home, Blaine."
As much as he wanted to stay and press for information, going home to his soulmate sounded way too tempting.
