"You didn't have to do that," Kurt said quietly, holding a bag of ice to Blaine's black eye. His boyfriend was silent, still seething with anger. "He wasn't worth it." Blaine looked at him with such a furious expression that it drove Kurt into complete silence. "I won't let anyone hurt you," he replied. "I wasn't going to let that jerk hit you without a fight." Kurt hugged Blaine tightly and kissed his cheek, giving him a grateful smile. "You're my knight in shining armor," he joked sitting on his lap and fixing his hair.
June 12th
Blaine's eye wasn't looking very good as he had lunch with Kurt's family. Burt, Carole and Finn couldn't stop looking at it, and Kurt knew they didn't buy the 'getting hit in the eye with a baseball' story, but he didn't want to tell them what really happened. His father already worried enough about his son and his son's boyfriend. "You better tell me the truth soon," Finn whispered to him seriously as Blaine talked up Burt and Carole. Kurt nodded, putting a hand briefly on Finn's and looking back to his plate. Blaine glanced to the brothers and sighed.

"That was really brave of him," Carole said, holding Kurt close to her side as they watched TV. Blaine couldn't come see him today, so he stayed home. Kurt nodded, "I know. I wish he wouldn't have done it though, I'm used to it." Carole squeezed his shoulders, smiling at him. "Maybe he's trying to show you that you don't have to be. It's okay to stand up for yourself once in a while." "Courage," he said faintly, unable to hold back a smile. Finn said nothing, wishing that he could have fought for Kurt, too.
June 14th
"You certainly gained approval from my family," Kurt said conversationally as the two of them drank at the Lima Bean. "Not exactly in the conventional way, or in a way I would approve of normally though." Blaine shrugged and took a sip of his coffee, watching the other mulling about the little shop. He had been unusually quiet the entire day despite Kurt's attempt to get him to talk and be sociable. "What's the matter Blaine?" he finally asked, wondering what could possibly be the problem. "Nothing," was all he said as they fell into silence.
June 15th
Kurt woke up a mess to sound of the doorbell. He was sure Blaine was upset with him and the knowledge that it was their three montheversary didn't cross his mind. He stumbled down the stairs, his mind racing as he opened the door. A bouquet of tulips and a handsome face met his eyes, and he felt his mood change rapidly. ""Kurt, don't tell me you forgot?" Blaine said teasingly, kissing him. "Of course not," he mumbled and then added, "Why were you so grumpy yesterday?" "Tell you later," he laughed, handing him the flowers.
June 16th
Kurt lay in bed, his hands behind his head, his brain replaying the conversation he had with Blaine yesterday. Blaine had wondered if Kurt was offended by the fight with the kid who hit him. To be honest, Kurt wasn't. Violence wasn't the answer to everything, but it was kind of sexy, the way Blaine stood up to the teen. More than anything, he felt safe. Like when the Glee kids stood up to the football team on Kurt' behalf. It was sweet and Kurt was grateful to him for it. He smiled and sat up, pulling out his phone.
June 17th
Blaine's eye was almost completely healed when he and Kurt went on a double date with Finn and Rachel. Rachel was chattering on about a show her dads took her to on Broadway, while Finn looked to Blaine. "Thanks man," he said quietly, if not a little uncomfortably. Blaine looked confused and Finn continued, "I never thanked you for taking care of my brother when I couldn't. So, thanks." Blaine smiled at him. "You're welcome, Finn." Finn could not tell if his feeling of overprotectiveness towards Kurt was matched or if it was possibly exceeded by Blaine's.
June 18th
Kurt decided that he and Blaine needed a day off from seeing each other, mostly because of Burt's exasperation about the gas expenditure. So Kurt chose instead to have a day at the spa with Rachel, Mercedes, and Tina, all over whom decided to take the day off from Finn, Sam, and Mike. It was a getaway that he really deserved. It was relaxing and he missed his ladies a lot. He also felt a lot better after a deep tissue massage, a facial, and a manicure. For that moment, every problem he ever had was nothing but a memory.
June 19th
Kurt found himself at another Warbler's practice, his hopes dwindling ever more at the prospect of Blaine transferring schools. He hated to make Blaine choose and his reasons were selfish; all he wanted was to spend his days and school with his boyfriend, like Finn and Rachel. He sighed and watched Blaine perform with all the happiness and gusto he always had with the Warblers. He didn't want to cause any resentment, just wanted to spend as much time with him as possible. There was no way, though, that he was going to bring it up again. Just not yet.
June 20th
Blaine's parents finally gave in and said Kurt could spend the night. He was more than excited as Kurt brought in half his closet in a duffle bag, explaining that he liked a choice of what to wear. The two changed into pajamas and sat down to an entire nights worth of Friends, eating chips and salsa. Blaine's parents, though trusting, rarely left them alone until the two of them fell asleep, entangled on the couch. Kurt fell asleep thinking that his life would be perfect if every night could be like this. It would make him happier than anything.
June 21st
Blaine woke up the next morning, groggy and confused, wondering why he wasn't in his own bed. He looked down and saw that Kurt had his arms wrapped around his waist tightly, still fast asleep. He could watch that face sleep forever, he decided, pushing the hair out of Kurt's face gently, so as not to wake him. For second, he had the strongest inclination that he was going to marry that boy one day. Put a ring on his finger, a band of silver, make him his forever. His breath caught up in his throat at the very thought.
June 22nd
While at the mall, Blaine couldn't help but stare into a little boutique full of silver wedding bands. He kept thinking in the back of his head he was too young—they were both too young—to be thinking this way. But as Kurt chatted up the cashier at the store next door, Blaine wondered what he would think if he presented this to him one day. It was almost painful not to buy that ring right now, as a promise for the future. Kurt came waltzing out of the store, hands full of bags, and wondered what Blaine was grinning about.
June 23rd
Blaine left his phone in Kurt's car the day before, and Kurt wondered if it would be appropriate to look inside of the very personal device. He didn't want to betray Blaine's trust, but he also believed that he wouldn't have anything to hide. Biting the inside of his lip, Kurt looked through the phone at the two places most people do: the texts area and the photos. He saw several of the two of them, but found himself growing hot at a picture of Blaine wearing nothing but a smile. Kurt just couldn't look away, try as he might.
June 24th
Silence pervaded the car ride as Blaine waited for Kurt to say something. Ever since his boyfriend returned his phone to him, he had been silent as the grave. He looked almost embarrassed, and Blaine couldn't put his finger on why. Suddenly it hit him, and he pulled over for a moment. Kurt noticed his face turning pink, and Blaine asked, "You saw it?" Kurt swallowed and nodded, putting a palm against his face. "I'm sorry," he said shaking his head. "I wish I didn't look, now I can't think if anything else." Blaine burst out laughing.
June 25th
Kurt didn't know how it happened, but before Blaine stopped to drop him off at home, they were in the back seat of the little sedan, their breath hot and heavy. Blaine was pressing Kurt against the window, his hands holding Kurt's face tightly. Until that moment, their kisses had been a G rating, but Kurt couldn't help but appreciate the frustration that the two of them were feeling for keeping it that way. A couple of hormonal boys in their mid-teens couldn't stay tame forever. Blaine his bottom lip, and Kurt pulled away, feeling too startled to continue this.
June 26th
"I just don't think we're ready for all this," Kurt said wildly into his telephone, pacing back and forth in his room rapidly. He had been arguing the same point on the phone with Blaine all morning, trying to get him to understand his point. "I know that Kurt," Blaine said gently with a small laugh. "I've been agreeing with you all morning. Don't worry, we'll only go as fast as we're both comfortable with. I love you, I don't want to lose you." Kurt wondered if his dad ever did do that research, just in case.
June 27th
Blaine didn't hear from Kurt all day and was starting to get worried. He kept looking to his phone, but was too nervous to call him in case he was doing something important or was busy. Finally, he laid down to sleep, but his eyes were wide open. He didn't know what to do. It was the first day since they met that they hadn't spoken. Just as he was about to fall asleep, his phone vibrated. It was from Kurt, and all it said was 'Courage.' Blaine texted him back, but there was no word for the rest of the night.
