Chapter 29: From Now Until Eternity.
"Finally done!" Blaine said and threw himself onto their bed. They had been unpacking stuff all week long and they had finally gotten everything in place in their small apartment in New York City.
"Well, now we can relax." Kurt said and joined him on the bed.
"Mhhhmmm…" Blaine said and snuggled closer. "We have two full months until college and work and that stuff."
"Yeah, that gives us some time to explore the city." Kurt mentioned and kissed the top of Blaine's head.
"Right now I just wanna pass out." Blaine said in a muffled voice as his face was burried into Kurt's chest.
"No one said we needed to do it today." Kurt said with a chuckle. "We have plenty of time."
"Good."
"Okay, get up from my chest, you're gonna suffocate yourself." Kurt said. Blaine groaned but turned his head to the side.
"Can you believe we are living in our own apartment? Like… by ourselves!" Blaine squealed.
"Nope… I honestly can't believe it." Kurt said and shaked his head.
"But you like it, right?"
"Are you kidding? I love it" Kurt said and planted a kiss onto Blaine's mouth.
"Good." Blaine said with a pleased smile as he snuggled into Kurt's chest again.
"But I'm hungry." Kurt mentioned after a couple of minutes.
"Yeah, me too." Blaine sighed.
"Let's go eat."
The two boys grabbed their jackets and walked out on the street. It was people everywhere, even though it was getting late.
"I wanna try something." Kurt said and held out his hand. Blaine frowned in confusion.
"Hold my hand?" He asked.
"Yeah, in public." Blaine smiled and placed his hand in Kurt's, entwining their fingers. They shared a shy smile and then continued walking. And instead of getting disgusted glares, people actually didn't care. Some of them even smiled when they saw their entwined fingers. It made Blaine's heart swell, it felt so good to know that he was finally in a place where acceptance existed. A place where he didn't need to be afraid of kissing the love of his life or holding his hand.
"I love you." Blaine said and looked at his boyfriend. Kurt smiled.
"I love you too." He said and kissed his cheek. Blaine blushed and carefully looked around, no one cared. It was like any other couple had just shared a small kiss, it was no big deal. They both knew that everyone wouldn't be this accepting, hate existed everywhere no matter where you are, but it would at least be a lot better.
They walked into a random restaurant and sat down at a table. A waitor came by and took their orders. They shared a delicious New York-meal and somehow it felt like one of their first dates: the small smiles, the little laughs, the knee nudging under the table and the loving looks. It felt as if they were falling in love all over again, in a new place.
When they were done they walked out on the street again, their hands of course clasped together. They walked around and somehow ended up in Central Park, they laid down on the grass in the almost empty park and just looked up at the pitch black sky with the millions of shining stars. Blaine smiled and pointed out the star Kurt had given him. Just like the first night it was shining brighter than all the other stars in the sky. They entwined their fingers for what felt like the first time and shared a light, sweet kiss.
Soon enough they headed back to their apartment and once they got inside Kurt pushed Blaine up against the wall in a heated kiss. The kiss turned into so much more and they made love for the first time in their new home. They fell asleep with their arms wrapped around eachother and their legs tangled together: palm to palm, heart to heart.
Let's just say that all nights didn't end like that. Living together and seeing eachother 24/7 was harder than they could ever imagine the first two months. They had small arguments about things as stupid as where to put a vase or where to hang that painting. They always worked it out but one night they had a real fight. It was about two in the morning and they were yelling, slamming doors and crying. Eventually Kurt grabbed his coat and left, he ran out and Blaine had no idea if he would ever come back. He cried himself to sleep that night. When he woke up Kurt was asleep on the couch, he woke him up and they made up. It was one of the scariest moments in their lives but it was also a good lesson, a great one even.
Once college and work started they barely saw eachother. When Kurt had a day off Blaine didn't and vice versa. They missed eachother like crazy and it was miserable, it felt like they didn't even live together. So Kurt had to choose shorter working days and Blaine had to put an audition or dance class aside. They worked it out, but once again, it was hard.
But no matter what life threw at them, they worked it out and got through it. Because they had eachother and together they were strong, they were fighters. They exchanged new promises and small but meaningful gifts. They fought back against homophobes they met along the years, they always made sure to surprise eachother and to share as many laughs as they could.
One day, Blaine proposed. He never expected himself to do such a thing, he always saw Kurt as the one who would. But in that moment it just felt right. They had been together for 4 years and they had moved out to a bigger house, so they had a backyard. Blaine had dragged out a table and two chairs, he hade cooked a delicious dinner which they ate under the stars. After the dinner he bent down on one knee and asked Kurt to marry him. Of course Kurt said yes.
The marriage was huge, they invited everyone they knew. Old friends and new ones, families and even some teachers from McKinley. It was one of the most amazing days in their lives and they had never felt closer or happier.
Shortly after that Blaine got his first part on Broadway. The first of many. He didn't end up being the biggest, most famous Broadway star, but his face was on the big signs sometimes and he had a few people who recognized him. Kurt became a fashion designer at Vouge and took over after his old boss Isabella retired. You can pretty much say their lives ended up pretty well, at least if you ask them.
When Blaine was 28 years old and Kurt was 32 they adopted a child, a daughter. They named her Cydney, she was the most precious thing in the world. She had big blue eyes and brown, soft curls and a tiny little smile. They loved her more than anything and they were now a family.
A family.
They stayed in New York, it was the place where they needed to be. Lima would always be a part of them but it wasn't the right place to live. They still visited their families and friends but New York was their home.
When Cydney got older she of course moved out, it was once of the hardest moments and they both cried. Their little girl had grown up, but she had turned into a beautiful woman who had a great future ahead of her. They couldn't have been more proud.
Even though you wish it, time won't stop. It flies by with one hell of a speed. Kurt noticed that the day he looked in the mirror and realized he had a gray hair in his flawless do. Blaine just shaked his head and told him that to him he was still that young, handsome boy he had always been.
You may not have expected this but Blaine passed away first. He had a heart problem but that didn't stop him from performing on Broadway, even though Kurt begged him to take it easy. One day he had a heart attack and he just couldn't survive it. He died at the age of 78. It was the worst day of Kurt's life. The pain he felt could never be described, he felt like he was dying too, emotionally. He held Blaine's hand at the hospital, he held it all the way until the end, until his hand turned cold and his heart stopped beating.
Kurt could never get used to not having Blaine in the house with him, he felt alone and empty. The first years were the worst, it was driving him insane. But every night he would look up at the star he had given Blaine for Christmas and talk to it, because somehow he knew that Blaine could hear him. And it made him feel better. He made up his mind about one thing though, he would never remarry. He would never create a life with another, he didn't want that. Blaine was his last true love and even though Cydney tried to get him into dating others, he refused to.
Kurt passed away at the age of 91. He died because of age, asleep in his bed. It was a strange feeling, it was like he was dreaming. Though when he opened his eyes he wasn't met by that old, empty, cold room. He was met by hazel eyes and a wide smile.
"Hi, I've been waiting for you forever." The familiar voice said and their lips met in yet another first kiss.
The end.
A/N: Okay, where do I begin? First of all I wanted to say SORRY for the previous chapter. Of course Blaine was talking to , somehow the name got removed, don't even ask how. Because I have NO clue.
I wanted to thank everyone who has read it and been able to look past my spelling/grammar mistakes. I know there was quite a few of those. Which I apologize for.
I also wanna thank for all the sweet, wonderful reviews I have gotten! I thought I was gonna be attacked with hate, haha. I was obviously wrong :''3 so thank you, thank you, thank you!
I hope you enjoyed the end, I know it might have been rushed but I thought it was perfect to do it that way. And I made myself sad too, writing that your two fav characters die is never fun. But I pushed through it and finished the chapter! So be proud of me, heh.
Anyway, last chapter. *sigh* Can you believe it? I know I can't. This is the first story I have published and I was VERY nervous first, hah. Also, this is NOT my last one. I have written lots of oneshots and I am writing on two other stories which I hope you will like.
Okay, I'm gonna go now. Thank you again for reading. Let me know what you think. Bye for now! xoxo
