Kurt felt like his whole world was moving in slow motion. One moment he was preparing himself to be kissed on national television by Sebastian, the next he saw Blaine's face, watched Blaine punch Sebastian, saw Sebastian go down, and then all hell broke loose. Fans were screaming, security swarmed the stage; some catering to Sebastian, others looking for Blaine. Kurt had seen Blaine's face as soon as he had punched Sebastian. Kurt saw the look of panic that had crossed Blaine's face as soon as he realized what he had done, and Kurt had watched as Blaine ran off of the stage and presumably out the back door. The sudden plethora of people on the stage jostled Kurt out of the frozen state he was in, and when he was sure no one was paying attention to him, Kurt ran off to follow where Blaine had gone. Just as he had suspected, Blaine was pacing behind the theatre, wringing his hands and mumbling to himself. Kurt let the door shut soundly behind him before he sat down on the steps, waiting for Blaine to notice him. The door must have been loud enough to make Blaine aware, because he looked up right away to see Kurt sitting there.
"Hi." Kurt said quietly.
"Hi." Blaine walked over towards the steps before he stopped awkwardly in front of Kurt. "Can I…can I sit next to you?" Kurt moved over before patting the space next to him. Blaine sat down and they were both quiet.
"I'm sorry." They both said at the same time.
"You have nothing to be sorry about." Blaine rushed on, before Kurt could continue. "You were right. I never asked you what you wanted because I just assumed that I knew what was best for you because I'm older and more experienced. And I know that if it were me who had been chosen to be kissed, I probably would have acted the same way. I'm sorry I got so jealous. I just…You never believed me when I said that I thought you were beautiful, and it seemed like once I got you, suddenly everyone else was seeing what I've been seeing all along and I felt like I wasn't good enough for you anymore." Blaine fell silent, waiting for Kurt to respond.
"Thank you." Kurt whispered before taking hold of Blaine's hands and resting his head on Blaine's shoulder. "But I need to apologize too. I'm sorry acting like a spoiled brat when you were just trying to look out for me. You were right. I'm still getting over what happened last year. That's not to say that I'll never get over it, but I need to be eased into things and not just launched into it." Both boys were silent again as Blaine lightly traced patterns on the back of Kurt's hands.
"I missed you." Blaine mumbled.
"I missed you too. Not only did I lose my boyfriend, but I lost my best friend too."
Blaine reached out and cupped his hand around Kurt's face, bringing it up to his eye level. "I forgive you." Kurt smiled.
"I forgive you too."
"Now, can we kiss and make up?" Blaine asked.
"I thought you'd never ask."
With that, Kurt leaned in and closed the space between them, kissing Blaine.
Kurt was right, today was the day he'd been waiting for his entire life, except this time, it felt just right.
