So this chapters both cute and sad. More so on the cute side. Hopefully you guys like it. It's the final chapter of this short story. Xoxo
Blaine woke up in the middle of the night screaming. He looked over a Kurt who was sleeping in his bed safe and sound. Blaine let out a deep breath and rubbed his eyes. His dream consisted of him proposing to Kurt, and Kurt saying no, than running off with another guy. Laughing at how pathetic he was.
It was dark in their room. The lights from outside in courtyard were bright enough to let in a little light into the boys room.
Blaine got out of bed and went by Kurt's night stand. He saw Kurt's half of the heart was gone. Where did it go? Blaine thought. He than noticed something in Kurt's hands. It was the little clay heart. Blaine smiled, it made him feel better knowing that Kurt really does love him.
You screwed up buddy, Blaine sighed. He walked back over to his bed and laid down. He had to get some sleep. But he couldn't. All he can think about was Kurt. How mad he was. How hurt he was. How he threw the ring at him.
Blaine sat up in bed. "Of course." He whispered to himself. He got out of bed and put his robe on. Hopefully the art room was unlocked, he thought as he left the room.
Early the next morning, Blaine was sitting in the cafeteria with a big chunk of clay in front of him.
"Hey man what's up?" Wes came over. Blaine had his eyes focused on the clay he was shaping in his hands. "Dude what are you doing?"
"Shhh.. I'm trying to concentrate." Blaine kept staring at the clay.
"Why are you playing with clay?" Wes asked a little freaked out at how focused Blaine was.
"Hey can you do me a favor and get the measurement of Kurt's left ring finger?" Blaine looked up at Wes. His eyes blood shot. He hasn't slept since 2 in the morning.
"Oh my God, Blaine, you look exhausted!" Wes exclaimed.
"Just please go get his measurement?" Blaine begged.
"How would I even do that?" Wes asked confused.
"Run up to him, put a string around his finger and than run away screaming. He won't suspect anything, since he's used to your randomness." Blaine continued on the clay.
"Alright fine." Wes stormed off.
Kurt was at his locker getting his books for his first period class when Wes came out of no where and grabbed his hand. He put a string around Kurt's finger and pulled it off slightly.
"What are you doing, Wesley?" Kurt asked, sort of frightened.
"Oh nothing. AHHHH!" Wes screamed in his face and ran off.
I swear, that kid get's weirder and weirder everyday, Kurt thought to him self.
"Here." Wesley gave Blaine the tied string that fit Kurt's finger.
"Thank you so much!" Blaine grabbed the string and started rolling out clay into a small ring.
"Why do you need that anyway?" Wes asked.
"I'm making Kurt a ring." Blaine said quietly.
"Why don't you just buy him one." Wes laughed. Blaine looked up and glared at him. "Okay never mind."
Blaine was so hypnotized by his art work that Wes decided to leave him alone.
Blaine's phone started to ring. "Hello?"
"Hi, Mr. Williams, those flowers that you ordered won't be here until Saturday. Is that alright?" The nice lady asked.
"Sure, no problem. Thank you so much." Blaine said.
"Not a problem. What address was that again though?" The woman asked.
"619 Kendal Avenue Lima, Ohio." Blaine answered.
"Thank you dear, they should be delivered between the hours of 11AM to 12PM."
"Okay, thanks again." Blaine said.
"No, thank you. Bye now." The woman had hung up before Blaine even said goodbye.
"Son I haven't seen you in a while. You should come home this weekend." Burt told his son.
"I most likely will. I can't be around here all weekend." Kurt sighed.
"Why what happened?" Burt asked. "Is someone giving you trouble?"
"No not at all. Well, I mean, me and Blaine got into a fight." Kurt confessed.
"I thought you too were just.."
"Yeah we're just friends. But uh, you probably don't remember, but do you recall me always hanging out with another little boy. Mom's friend's son?" Kurt hoped his dad did.
"Oh yeah the Williams. What about them?" Burt asked concerned.
"Well that's Blaine. He's the little boy." Kurt closed his eyes and remember, mini Blaine.
"Oh really? What a coincidence." Burt sounded amused. "But what's the problem?"
"Well, I told him I was in love with him.. And something else, but it turned into a fight. I really don't feel comfortable around him right now." Kurt opened his eyes as Blaine came through the door. "Uh I got to go though. I'll talk to you later."
"Okay if you need me call me." Burt reminded Kurt.
"I will. Love you."
"Love you too kid." and they hung up.
"Hey uh sorry, I didn't think you'd be in here." Blaine sounded worried.
"Well it is my room too ya know." Kurt gave him an attitude.
"Oh, no I just thought, you'd be on that date by now." Blaine looked away, hurt of the idea of Kurt being on a date with someone else.
"No, I cancelled." Kurt walked over to the window.
"Why's that?" Blaine asked sort of hopeful.
"I'm tired. And I have a lot of work to catch up on. I have an important assignment due tomorrow." Kurt lied. He didn't want to date that other guy. He wanted Blaine. He missed Blaine. But he wasn't going to be the one to apologize.
"Oh right, well I'll leave you alone than." Blaine got up to leave the room. "Oh wait." He went into his closet and got his guitar. "Now I'll leave you alone." He gave a small warm smile as he left.
As much as Kurt wanted to be mad at Blaine, he couldn't help but small back as Blaine left the room.
Once school was over on Friday, Kurt ran up to his room and grabbed his bags. Home for the weekend, finally. he thought as he was about to walk out of the room.
Blaine was in the door way just staring. "Going home?"
"Yeah, for the weekend." Kurt simply said, struggling with his bags.
"Here let me help you." Blaine grabbed two of the three bags.
Once down to Kurt's car, Blaine helped load everything up. He finished putting the last bag in his car, when Blaine turned to Kurt.
"So are you still..ya know?" Blaine asked.
"Yes. I am." Kurt couldn't even look at Blaine. Sure he love him, but after what Blaine did, after what Blaine said, he couldn't look at him the same.
"Kurt I'm really sorry." Blaine started. "I was way out of line."
"Yeah, you were. And sorry's just..not going to cut it." Kurt walked around the car and got in the drivers seat.
Blaine followed him and stopped the door before Kurt shut it.
"I know sorry isn't good enough. But just know, that I do love you." Blaine gave a small smile.
Kurt just looked at him, holding back the urge to slap him and the urge to kiss him. He just gave a small smile in return and said, "Bye Blaine. I'll see you Sunday." Kurt shut his door and drove off. Blaine stood in the parking lot watching him drive away.
"Hey welcome home kid!" Burt greeted his son at the door.
"Hi dad." Kurt gave him a strong hug.
"Kurt!" Carole called from the kitchen. She appeared with in seconds. "How are you?" She gave Kurt a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
"I'm doing alright. Your self?" Kurt asked.
"Great, thanks for asking." She smiled brightly at him.
"Yo Kurt!" Finn came running up to him like a child. But what happened next, Kurt didn't expect. Finn picked him up into a hug. "Dude I feel like I haven't seen you in forever." He said whiling putting Kurt down.
"It has been a while hasn't it?" Kurt laughed. He loved being home. It felt good. He felt like he could relax. Or as close to relaxing as he can get.
"Come on savages, go watch football." Carole laughed at them. Kurt went to go with his father and Finn, until Carole stopped him. "No, no. Kurt I want you to come with me."
Kurt didn't hesitate. He followed Carole into the kitchen.
"Okay so tell me what's wrong." She looked at her stepson.
"What ever do you mean?" Kurt smiled trying to play it off as nothing.
"Kurt, I know you by now. I can tell when your upset." Carole sat next to him at the kitchen table. "What's on your mind honey?"
"A lot has happened over the past week and a half." Kurt admitted. "Blaine and I haven't really been, close."
"You guys have a fight?" Carole asked concerned.
"Sort of. You see, we were friends, best friends when we were younger. But we didn't know until a little over a week ago."
Carole smiled and seemed interested. "You don't say?"
"Yeah, well, we promised each other something. And well, I asked Blaine about it.. And he seemed hesitant, like he wasn't sure if he wants to keep that promise." Kurt felt him self get more upset than he was.
"What's the promise, if you don't mind me asking?" Carole asked.
"It was silly." Kurt laughed trying to hold back tears. Silly indeed, he thought.
"Come on, sweetie," Carole encouraged him.
"It was about marriage." Kurt sighed, letting one tear escape.
"Oh? What about marriage?"
"We pinky promised we'd get married. I got mad at Blaine when he hesitated to answer me when I asked if he still wanted to marry me." Kurt was crying now. "And I really over reacted. But than he made it worse. He yelled at me, basically insisting it wasn't possible."
"Oh honey come here." Carole gave Kurt a hug and held him close. "I'm sure he didn't mean for this to happen. He's probably just as upset."
"He is." Kurt chuckled slightly. "He tried apologizing, but I wouldn't accept it. Sorry wasn't going to fix anything."
"Maybe you should sleep on it. Think about all you've been through with Blaine. And think to your self, is he worth it?" Carole gave me a sincere look. "You're a smart boy, Kurt. You'll make the right choice for your self."
"Thanks, talking to you really helped." Kurt smiled wiping away tears.
"I hope your not just saying that." Carole laughed.
"No, not at all. I feel better letting it all out." Kurt suddenly felt ill, "Just do me a favor.. don't tell dad or Finn."
"I wouldn't dream of it." Carole smiled. Kurt was happy that his dad found Carole. She was a great woman.
"Kurt wake up!" Kurt felt someone jumping on him. He eyed his eyes slightly and saw it was Finn.
"Ugh Finn, it's too early for this." Kurt complained looking at his clock. It read 9:30AM. He was so used to waking up around 11AM or noon at Dalton. Dalton. That reminded him of his dream. When he returned, he couldn't find Blaine. He ran into David and Wes. Wes was crying and David was holding back tears, trying to take care of his friend. When Kurt had asked them where Blaine was, David said that he died in a car crash Friday night trying to get to you. Kurt felt his whole world fall apart. His chest felt like it was going to explode. But than he woke up. So Finn being annoying, actually worked to Kurt's advantage this morning.
"Come on we have a lot to do today." Finn shook Kurt.
"Alright, let me shower and get dressed. I'll be up in a minute." Kurt mumbled.
"I am not moving until you are in that shower." Finn crossed his arms, and than stared at Kurt's computer chair. He sat down and than said, "Now I am not moving until your in that shower."
"Fine pain in the butt." Kurt got out of bed and went into the bathroom.
"Hurry up slow poke!" Finn yelled as he left Kurt's room in the basement.
Kurt was out of the shower and dressed by 11:37AM. He threw on anything today. Because today, he just didn't care. A pair of black skinny jeans, a white button up dress shirt, and a black bow tie. He flipped his bangs up in the way that Blaine loves.
Kurt sighed. He really did miss Blaine.
Kurt made his way upstairs and saw Finn in the kitchen eating a bowl of cereal.
"What some breakfast?" Carole asked smiling.
"No thank you." Kurt smiled back, not as bright though.
"How did you sleep?" She whispered to Kurt.
"I had a nightmare. But that's what happens when your fighting with the person you're in love with." Kurt tried to blow it off his shoulders.
"If you need to talk I'm here." She smiled and rubbed Kurt's back.
"Thanks, Carole." Kurt sighed and watched as Finn devoured the last couple spoon full's of cereal.
"Ready to go?" Finn asked.
"Yeah but where are we going?" Kurt asked confused. Finn barely even want's to go out for the day with Kurt. Why would he now?
"I need to run a couple errands for mom and your dad. I figured you can help me remember everything." Finn smiled.
"Alright lets go." Kurt rolled his eyes and laughed. He heard loud banging from out back. "What's that?" Kurt asked.
"Oh nothing, your fathers just fixing something." Carole said a bit to quick.
"Should he even be out there? What if he strains him self to much? He can't afford another trip the hospital." Kurt was freaking out.
"Honey!" Carole put her hands on Kurt's shoulders. "Your dad's fine. Go out for an hour. When you come back lunch will be ready."
"Okay, yeah, sure." Kurt smiled and left the house.
"Gosh guys, that was a close one," Carole said to Burt and Blaine who were hammering the old picnic table together.
"Did he suspect anything?" Blaine asked worried.
"Not at all." Carole smiled. "Here let me help you with those plants."
It was over an hour before Finn and Kurt found everything on their parents list.
"That was exhausting," Finn said as they drove back to their home.
"Eh not really. I've been through much more tiring shopping." Kurt laughed at his stepbrothers weakness.
"Oh shut it." Finn said.
They pulled up to the house and got out of the car. Finn and Kurt brought all the bags into the kitchen. Carole had three plates set up.
Finn sat down and so did she. Kurt was about to join them until Carole said, "Oh, no honey, that's for your father. You're eating out back." She smiled.
What was she talking about? Kurt thought. But he shrugged and opened the back door. And that's when he saw Blaine.
Blaine saw Kurt walk out of the house. His heart started to beat faster.
Kurt looked all around the backyard. It looked just as it had when he was younger. The same picnic table. They clay sitting on the table. Two lunches sat on the other side of the table. And the thing that Kurt noticed the most, was his mothers garden.
"What is all of this?" Kurt asked in astonishment.
"I made a time machine and brought back your old backyard." Blaine smiled.
"This looks exactly how my mothers garden had." Kurt walked over admiring the beautiful flowers. "You did all this?" Kurt asked Blaine.
"Yeah pretty much. I mean, your dad helped me with the picnic table. Carole helped me with the flowers." Blaine walked closer to Kurt.
"I really want to be mad at you.. But you're making it so difficult for me to do that." Kurt was still stunned.
"Do you forgive me?" Blaine asked hopeful.
"I'll think about it." Kurt looked at Blaine, who had on his usual jeans and white v neck.
"Well, think about it, while you're wearing this." Blaine pulled out a small wooden box. It had on top a small painting of a heart. Our clay heart.
He gave it to Kurt. Kurt took it and opened the small box slowly. Inside was a small clay ring. Just like the one he had.
"Blaine did you really make me a clay ring?" Kurt smiled at Blaine.
"Yeah, you deserve it after getting yours thrown away." Blaine chuckled.
"You really do love me don't you?" Kurt asked.
"More than you know." Blaine's expression got serious. He walked over to the fence and picked up his guitar.
He started to play a song that Kurt was unfamiliar with.
Than he started to sing.
"We watch the season pull up its own stakes, and catch the last weekend of the last week. Before the gold and the glimmer have been replaced, another sun soaked season fades away." Kurt wasn't familiar with the song until Blaine sang the chorus."You have stolen my heart." Kurt felt his heart beat faster. "You have stolen my heart.""Invitation only, grand farewells, crash the best one, of the best ones, clear liquor and cloudy eyed, too early to say goodnight." Blaine sang to Kurt, looking directly into his bright blue eyes."You have stolen my heart." Blaine smiled at Kurt when he sang this part again. "You have stolen my heart.""And from the ballroom floor we are in celebration, one good stretch before our hibernation, our dreams assured and we all, will sleep well." Blaine played softly on his guitar, Kurt stared at the way his fingers moved so elegantly with the instrument."Sleep well, sleep well." Kurt couldn't help but have a huge smile on his face while Blaine sang to him. "Sleep well, sleep well.""You have stolen, you have stolen, you have stolen my heart." Kurt felt amazed as Blaine belted out the last word."I watch you spin around in your highest heels, you are the best one, of the best ones, we all look like we feeeeeeeeeeeeel!" Kurt melted into a puddle when Blaine hit that high note."You have stolen my, you have stolen my, you have stolen my heart!" Blaine finished the song by strumming an extra few chords. He looked up at Kurt, who's eyes we're full of tears.
"Kurt?" Blaine grabbed his hand. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah, I'm just being a baby." Kurt tried to suck it up.
"Kurt, you don't have to be ashamed of crying in front of me." Blaine held Kurt close to him. "I've been your best friend for twelve years." Blaine laughed into Kurt's neck.
"And I'm ready to be more." Kurt said quietly.
Blaine pulled away to look at Kurt who had stopped crying, but was still sniffling.
"Are you sure?" Blaine asked.
"Positive." Kurt smiled.
"I'm so glad to hear that." Blaine smiled and cupped his hands around Kurt's face, pulling him into a long and passionate kiss.
It's safe to say, they started dating right away. Kurt accepted Blaine's promise ring. And for Blaine's birthday, Kurt got him one.
They made it together through the rest of high school. And they even last through college.
The night of Kurt's college graduation, Blaine proposed. Kurt, thrilled as ever, said yes.
They got married at the ages of 23, Kurt, and 24, Blaine, young and in love.
At their reception, Kurt and Blaine Hummel danced to the song 'Stolen', which became the newlyweds wedding song.
"It's funny how a clay heart and a toddlers promise made all of this happen." Kurt said to his handsome husband, while they shared their first dance.
"Those aren't the only contributing factors." Blaine looked into his gorgeous husbands eyes.
"Oh? Than what else is there?" Kurt asked.
"We made this happen." Blaine smiled and kissed Kurt of the millionth time today. It never got old though. "I love you Kurt Hummel."
"I love you too Blaine Hummel." Kurt smiled at his husband and kissed him once more.
Yeah I know, cheesy ending. But it's the best that I can do. I'm thinking about making a follow up story, about Kurt and Blaine when they're older. Let me know what you think!
