Come What May I Will Love You Until My Dying Day (Proposal)
Kurt was sitting across of his boyfriend on the couch in their candle lit living room, watching with growing concern as Blaine fidgeted nervously, searching for words. He was actually sure that Blaine was not going to break up with him, their relationship had been pretty much going perfectly for the 5 years that they had now lived together in New York, going just as strong as it had been in High School.
Sure, they had had their arguments, even full blown fights, but in the end, when it came down to the choice between losing the other, and swallowing their pride, pride lost. Always.
Blaine had cooked today, or attempted to, Kurt favorite meal, he had set the table beautifully, cleaned the flat, prepared a song to sing to Kurt and and and. The evening had been perfect. But now, sitting here, with Blaine holding his hand, clearly nervous, Kurt was starting to suspect the worst.
He didn't think Blaine would cheat on him, but Kurt was worried that Blaine might be sick, or had lost his job, or maybe even gotten bored with the way things were going between them. He was just about to voice his concerns, when Blaine finally gathered himself enough to speak.
"Kurt. I know that you are probably going to get mad at me for this, because you probably want a big, big kind of romantic gesture, and you deserve that, but somehow that didn't feel right to me. Because this moment is about you and me, and about our love, it shouldn't be overshadowed by some big spectacle. Anyways…I…Kurt I love you. I love you so much I can't even tell you. In the years we have known each other, you have taught me so much about *Courage*, I can't even begin to describe it. But not just that. You are so beautiful, inside and out, and every time I wake up next to you, all I can think about is how much I wish to wake up next to you every day forever. We have had our highs and lows, like every couple, but no matter what happened, we have made it through and come out stronger after it. You aren't only my lover and boyfriend, you are my best friend, my family, my home. I know I say it a lot, but I still feel like I could never say it enough: I love you. I love you Kurt Hummel and I promise that I will always love you, and stay by your side as long as you will have me. I want to be the person you yell at when you're sick, and the person who holds you when you wake up crying after a nightmare. I want to be the man by your side when you take over the world, because the world would be stupid to not bow to someone as amazing as you are. I want your everything Kurt, and all you're willing to give me, and I promise to give you all of myself in return. So Kurt Hummel…I want to ask you: Will you do me the honor of becoming my husband?"
Blaine sat, breathless after this long and impassioned speech, holding out the small black satin box with the engagement ring (he had actually planned something entirely different, but once he had started he just couldn't stop himself anymore), staring at Kurt who was staring back wordlessly, eyes wide and brimming with tears.
When Kurt didn't answer for a while Blaine swallowed nervously. Then Kurt just got up, and walked out of the room, and Blaine felt as if his whole world was shattering at his feet, until Kurt walked back in, sitting back down, a dark blue satin boy, rather similar to the one Blaine was holding, now sitting in his hand.
"I have been waiting to ask you this since…I think since before I came to visit you when you graduated, but I kept telling myself that we were too young, that we couldn't know what the future would bring for us, but every day more I got to spend with you was just another day showing me more how much I want to spend every day of the rest of my life with you. I want it all Blaine, your good, your bad and your ugly, I want you singing in the shower at 6 am when I could sleep in and I want you destroying my kitchen when you're trying to cook. I want your face in the front row whenever I have a show and I want to be in the front row of every single one of yours. I love you Blaine Anderson, I love you so much that it scares me, because I feel like, without you, there is no me. Not anymore. So Blaine. Yes. I want to become your husband, want to make you mine forever more than anything else. But there is one condition."
Kurt added at the end of his speech as Blaine leaned in to kiss him, the biggest smile ever on his face. Blaine stopped, blinking, looking adorably confused.
"Anything." He replied earnestly.
"Will you do me the honor of becoming my husband?" Kurt asked, and they both laughed as Blaine yelled "Yes." before pulling Kurt into a deep, passionate kiss, as they celebrated the first moment of the rest of their lives.
