Epilogue:
"Kurt really how many times do I have to tell you, I'm fine!"
"Okay okay!"
Blaine chuckled as Kurt threw his hands up in the air dramatically and backed away. Though Blaine had just spent an hour convincing Kurt that he was well enough to go outside and fly with Viridi, his boyfriend still reacted at every hesitant movement and misstep he made.
Kurt stood a few feet away shifting his weight from foot to foot and Blaine sighed at how adorably worried his boyfriend looked, "Spill, what is it?"
After a second Kurt confessed, "I just, are you sure you're ready?"
Rolling his eyes at Kurt's concern, Blaine cleared the distance between them, albeit slowly. At first the palace doctor didn't think he would ever walk again and he here was walking –shuffling- around thanks to a wooden brace that kept his permanently crippled leg bent slightly but rigid enough that it wouldn't give out on him.
It has taken time and a lot of practice before he could figure out how to move around. Kurt had been there every step (literally) of the way. All of Kurt's family had been. At times Katla would sit on her older brother's lap as they watched Blaine adjust to the brace, offering words of encouragement and smiles. Kurt's father would pat his shoulder if he passed him walking through the halls, and Kurt's mother would bring him and Kurt pastries and warm milk form the kitchen.
It was amazing how well Blaine fit into the royal family. Once he recovered enough, Kurt's father had a discussion with the both of them, wanting to know the status of their relationship and Blaine's history. Every day Blaine was happily surprised with the acceptance in Audentia.
The biggest shock was finding out that Viridi had somehow found him. He spent as much time as possible with his dragon but it wasn't until the previous day that the doctor had given him a clean bill of health and said he was strong enough to try flying again.
"I'm ready Kurt. You just worry too much."
The pale boy blushed but nodded because, well it was true. "I know, I know."
Blaine took Kurt's hand in his own and kissed Kurt's cheek, "Shall we continue?"
Humming in agreement Kurt matched his strides with Blaine's and eventually they made it into the courtyard where Kurt had first found Viridi. Unlike that cold day, the sun was shining high in the sky and small green stocks of young plants poked upwards from the deep brown soil.
Glancing over Kurt caught Blaine's eye, the curls framed his smiling face, a beam of sunlight hitting the side of his face. Tightening the grip on Blaine's hand Kurt leaned over and connected their lips briefly before pulling back, "I love you."
"I love you too," Blaine replied, "But can we call the dragons now?"
Laughing at Blaine's intoxicating excitement Kurt nodded his head, "Go ahead."
With his free hand, Blaine whistled loudly and within a few moments Niveus and Viridi were flying down into the courtyard. Niveus landed softly to Kurt's left while Viridi landed with a skid before he began clamoring about in a small circle around Blaine nudging the boy.
"It's nice to see you too!" Blaine said with a laugh as Viridi changed his movements and began to nuzzle Blaine's face with his scaly smooth head.
Kurt watched the two and a warm feeling spread through his body seeing Blaine laughing and smiling, he was happy. They both were. The sunlight hit the ridge on Viridi's back emphasizing the brilliant green color of his scales and reminding Kurt of the green stone he picked at the mountain.
It wasn't done on purpose, but after everything had settled down and returned to normal after their return, Kurt realized that the stone he had hastily chosen was the same color was Viridi. Paired with silver metal, his and Blaine's crown would match the colors of their dragons perfectly. The crowns which were locked in the throne room, ready for the ceremony in a week when Kurt would official take his father's place as king.
Unbeknownst to Blaine, Kurt had asked the jeweler to set aside two tiny stones from the larger one, they were set into place on two simple ring bands and currently hidden in their room, ready to be presented at the perfect time.
"Kurt?"
Blaine's voice snapped Kurt back to the courtyard and he smiled seeing Blaine already sitting on Viridi's back as the green dragon's wings twitched with impatience.
With a practiced ease Kurt turned and within seconds was sitting on Niveus directly across the courtyard from Blaine.
"Blaine?"
"Yes?" Blaine answered tilting his head to the side and tightening his grip on Viridi's neck, knowing exactly what Kurt was going to say next.
"Let's fly."
