I know my ANs keep getting longer but I can't help it. A few people have asked if I'm going to write a third part of this universe or another story. The answer is undoubtedly yes...I just don't know to which one. I have, in my mind, two possiblities for my next story. One is a third part to this, that takes place a few years after the end of this story, and we see what is happening to Kurt and Blaine and their lives together. The other is an AU which would be Kurt multishipping (gasp! not only Klaine). Which one would you prefer to see? Let me know, please!

Chapter 31

Blaine padded into the kitchen the next morning to find Kurt sitting by the table, staring out the window. The two had slept in the same bed, but hadn't spoken since their words the night before. Blaine felt a little better that Kurt's binders were sprawled out in front of him, and he seemed to at least be working on their wedding still.

Blaine walked over quickly and pressed a kiss into Kurt's cheek, kneeling down, "Kurt Hummel?"

Kurt looked over at Blaine, tears in his eyes – he wasn't sure what was going on.

"Will you still marry me?" Blaine smiled softly up at the man in front of him.

"You still want to?" Kurt asked softly, "even if it's too late for City Hall?"

Blaine held open his arms and Kurt fell into them, "I wouldn't want City Hall anyway. I just said that. I'm so sorry, Kurt. I know you're stressed out and you're trying so hard."

"I'm sorry, I just can't believe someone like you is still with someone like me." Kurt stayed on the floor, looking up at a kneeling Blaine.

Blaine took Kurt's chin in his hands, "You are the most amazing human being I've ever met. I want to marry you."

"Even if I always blow things out of proportion?"

"Even then," Blaine agreed.

Dentist's Office

"Well, Mr. Hummel, I need you to schedule an appointment with an oral surgeon. The sooner, the better." His dentist handed him a card.

"Why?" Kurt was panicking, did he actually have a cavity?

"You need your wisdom teeth taken out."

Kurt's eyes went huge, "I need…what?"

"Your wisdom teeth need to come out, they're impacted." The dentist started dialing his phone, "Is anytime fine?"

Kurt nodded, "Well..I'm getting married the first weekend in May…"

"Oh, well. Let's hope we can work around that."

"HOPE?" Kurt felt the sweat bead on the back of his neck.

"Well, good news, Kurt. I can get you an appointment a week and a half before your wedding. You should be off of painkillers a good 3 days before your bachelor party." His dentist took off his gloves and smiled, "Is that okay?"

"Will the swelling be down?" Kurt high doubted Blaine wanted to marry a chipmunk.

"Most of it, yes."

"Awesome."

End of April

Blaine sat in the waiting room of the oral surgeon, tapping his foot and silently panicking. Did it normally take this long for wisdom teeth extraction?

"Mr. Anderson?" a nurse poked her head out of the doorway, "Dr. Kemp said it's okay for you to come back now."

Blaine stood quickly and crossed the room in two steps. The nurse led him back through a narrow hallway and motioned for him to enter a small room with several armchairs. Kurt appeared to be sleeping on the far end of the room. "She'll be out here in a few minutes. Try to get him awake so we can talk to both of you."

Blaine sat in the folding chair next to Kurt. He looked around for a box of tissues, but didn't find any, so he used his sleeve to wipe some drool off of Kurt's chin. He was already swollen, but looked to be sleeping peacefully.

"Hey, Kurt, baby?" Blaine grabbed Kurt's hand. He didn't wake up.

"Kurt," Blaine leaned in and softly kissed his temple. Nothing.

Blaine was starting to get worried, "Kurt?" Blaine shook his shoulders a few times. Nothing.

Blaine was confused. Shouldn't Kurt wake up easily?

Leaning into Kurt's ear Blaine whispered, "Sale are Hermes, Kurt!"

Kurt's eyes popped open and he looked at Blaine, "What? Sale?"

"No, silly. How are you feeling?" Blaine took his hand again and leaned forward.

Kurt groaned in frustration, "I feel like someone just switched my brain with Brittany's."

Blaine sniggered behind his hand, "It cannot be that bad."

"You have no idea," Kurt shifted a little, "Blaine?"

"Yes, love?"

"Can I lean on you?"

Blaine moved the chair and tried to let Kurt lean on his shoulder, "This isn't going to work," he remarked sadly.

Kurt pouted and his eyes filled with tears, "Can you get in the chair with me?"

"I don't think that's a good idea…"

Kurt started standing on his own, "I want you in the chair with me."

Blaine quickly helped Kurt stand and sat in the chair, pulling Kurt down on top of him. "We're going to get in trouble."

Kurt snuggled into Blaine, "Don't care. Don't get up. Stay with me."

"Of course," Blaine wrapped his arms around Kurt's waist and let him put all of his body weight on him. "You have to stay awake thought," Blaine started brushing Kurt's hair out of his face. "I love you."

"Love you too," Kurt murmured, falling back asleep.

"No sleeping!" Blaine laughed, jostling Kurt slightly.

The doctor walked into the room and looked at the pair sitting on the chair, her eyes narrowed at first but then she laughed, "I take it he didn't want to be alone. Technically, that's illegal, you know? You just moved my patient without my consent."

Blaine bit his lip, "Sorry…"

Dr. Kemp sat in the chair next to them, "He had a lot of bleeding. He was babbling on about a wedding, which I assume is yours. You'll want to constantly ice his face on twenty minute rotations to stop the swelling."

Blaine winced, the swelling was already pretty bad. Though he didn't know him at that age, Blaine had seen enough pictures of Kurt during his sophomore year to know that Kurt's face hadn't been this puffy in some time.

Kurt's one eye opened when she said 'swelling.' He looked at Blaine, "Give me a mirror."

"I don't have a mirror."

"In my bag," Kurt's voice was dangerously low, so Blaine listened right away. He handed Kurt the small monogrammed compact and watched as Kurt appraised his face. Kurt turned to Dr. Kemp who sat there looking bored. "What did you do to me?"

The doctor let out a small giggle and immediately put her hand over her mouth, "Mr. Hummel, you just have to ice it and you will be fine. No solid foods for a few days. You'll know when you can eat them. Make sure you rinse and brush regularly. You'll probably sleep for the first few hours." She turned to Blaine, "Make sure he's propped up."

Blaine nodded, putting everything into his phone.

The doctor stared at Kurt smiling, "I don't normally tell people what they do when they're under anesthesia, because they tend to get embarrassed, but you have a truly beautiful voice. Though your taste in music is suspect."

Blaine couldn't tell what was bruising and what was blush from Kurt. Blaine hid his laughter, "What was he singing?"

Dr. Kemp bit her lip before glancing at Kurt, "Peacock, by Katy Perry."

"Oh dear god." Kurt murmured, "I'm going to sleep now." He turned to Blaine, "I blame you."

Blaine was trying to contain his giggles. "Is there anything else I need to know before I take him home?"

She looked over her notes again, "No, but listen to me," she looked at Blaine, "You have a sweetheart and he deserves to look his best on his wedding day. So you take care of him, okay?"

Blaine nodded, laughing at how everyone who meets Kurt loves him. Blaine kissed Kurt's temple again, "Sale at Macy's?"

"That only works for you," Kurt murmured.

"Can you please stand up so I can help you to our car?" Blaine helped support Kurt's weight and they stood. Placing an arm around Kurt, they walked slowly back to the car. Blaine put Kurt in the backseat and laid him down, "Just go to sleep, baby."

Blaine pulled out of the parking lot and started back toward Manhattan. He sent a quick text to Santana to let her know that he was going to meet her back at the apartment. He needed a babysitter for Kurt while he went shopping and got the prescription filled.

"Blaine?" Kurt called feebly from the back of the car. "Can you come back here and sit with me?"

"No, baby, I need to drive the car." Blaine laughed softly.

"Oh, that's nice." Kurt put his head back on the pillow and fell back asleep.

It took nearly an hour, but they got back to the apartment. "Kurt, come on honey," Blaine grabbed Kurt's shoulder as soon as he stood. Kurt immediately wavered, still halfway asleep.

"Let me sleep here," Kurt pointed to the sidewalk. "Just cuddle up next to me."

Blaine laughed and swooped into Kurt, picking him up bridal style. "Come on."

"This is undignified," Kurt complained, but snuggled closer to Blaine. "You smell nice."

"Thank you." Blaine laughed and kicked the door twice. Santana opened the door and Blaine nearly dropped Kurt. "What are you wearing?"

Santana looked down at her candy striper outfit. "I don't get to wear this that much anymore, so I figured why not? You can look, hobbit, he'll never know."

"I really don't want to look, thanks." Blaine carried Kurt into the bedroom, putting a few pillows underneath him. He walked back into the living room, "I know why you're wearing that, but Hayden has work all day today. She won't be here."

Santana frowned, "I have sweats in my bag. How long will I have to watch Sleeping Beauty in there?"

"Just an hour or so until I can get his pills and some things for him to eat. I'm only going to Whole Foods, so if you need me, just call." Blaine left, eager to get back.

He put in the prescription for Kurt's pills and started shopping for food Kurt could eat. Blaine's making spaghetti for dinner that night.

He hurried back, and before he even got to their door, he heard sobbing. Blaine nearly breaks the door down. "Kurt?"

Santana ran to the door, "He's all yours."

Blaine carried the bags to the kitchen and returned to the living room to see Kurt snuggled on the couch in a ball, "Blaine! You came back!"

Blaine sat quickly, pressing a pack of frozen peas to Kurt's cheek, "Of course I came back. I'll always come back." He let Kurt lean against him again.

"I love you, Blaine." Kurt snuggled into Blaine's lap.

"Love you too." Blaine held the peas there, hoping they wouldn't be too cold on Kurt's skin.

"Blaine?"

"Yes, love?"

"Can you sing to me?" Kurt opened his eyes a little, looking at Blaine with so much love that Blaine's heart melted.

"Of course," Blaine thought for a moment, and then opened his mouth to sing.

When the visions around you,
Bring tears to your eyes
And all that surround you,
Are secrets and lies
I'll be your strength,
I'll give you hope,
Keeping your faith when it's gone
The one you should call,
Was standing here all along

Blaine saw Kurt relax at the sound of his voice, and Blaine smiled. It had been awhile since he'd had the chance to sing.

And I will take
You in my arms
And hold you right where you belong
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you
This I promise you

I've loved you forever,
In lifetimes before
And I promise you never...
Will you hurt anymore
I give you my word
I give you my heart (give you my heart)
This is a battle we've won
And with this vow,
Forever has now begun...

Blaine played with Kurt's ring. He couldn't believe that in less than two weeks, Kurt would officially be his, forever.

Just close your eyes (close your eyes)
Each loving day (each loving day)
I know this feeling won't go away (no..)
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you..
This I promise you..

Over and over I fall (over and over I fall)
When I hear you call
Without you in my life baby
I just wouldn't be living at all.

Kurt fell asleep by the middle of the song, and Blaine played with his hair softly, gazing at Kurt's swollen cheeks.

And I will take (I will take you in my arms)
You in my arms
And hold you right where you belong (right where you belong)
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you baby

Just close your eyes
Each loving day (each loving day)
I know this feeling won't go away (no..)
Every word I say is true
This I promise you

Every word I say is true
This I promise you
Ooh, I promise you.

Blaine sang until he knew Kurt was really asleep and then he snuck out from under him. He knew he needed to start dinner soon.

Blaine was humming to himself, mixing together the ingredients for the spaghetti. Kurt had forced him to go to those cooking lessons a few weeks back, and though he wasn't ready to try anything crazy, he could at least cook pasta.

"Blaine?" Kurt called from the living room.

Blaine ran into the living room, "Yes, Kurt?"

"I woke up and you weren't here." Kurt pouted, "I'm not sleepy anymore. But I hurt."

"I'll be right back," Blaine grabbed the peas again and a glass of water. "Okay, take two of these pills."

Blaine watches as Kurt swallowed the pills, dribbling water out of his numb mouth. "I'm a mess." Kurt whined.

Blaine wiped up Kurt, "You're fine. Here," Blaine put the wedge pillow on the end of the sofa and moved Kurt so that he was leaning against it. "Do you want a cover?"

Kurt nodded, "Can you put a movie in for me?"

Blaine tucked the cover around Kurt, making sure to cover his feet, "Sure. What movie?"

Kurt shrugged.

Blaine looked through their movie collection and settled on Burlesque. "Will this work?" Blaine knew this was Kurt's go to movie whenever he was depressed.

"Perfect. Now come sit with me!" Kurt patted the sofa next to his curled up legs.

"I can't, I'm making us dinner." Blaine kissed Kurt's temple again, trying to ignore the look on Kurt's face.

"Please?"

"Give me ten minutes and I will have the spaghetti ready for us. We can eat out here if you like." Blaine was walking backwards, "I'll be out here before you even see Cher."

Blaine hurried, probably skipping a few ingredients, but when he tasted the food, he was proud of himself.

"CHER IS ON AND YOU AREN'T OUT HERE!" Kurt called.

Blaine fixed the tray and carried it out, "Sorry. I had to find our trays like this."

"You mean your grandparents trays like that." Kurt allowed Blaine to set the tray down on his lap, the legs holding it up.

"Whatever. I also have a surprise for you." While Blaine was out shopping for food, he also picked up something else to make Kurt feel better. "Well, actually a few."

Kurt perked up, "Oh?"

"First I have this," Blaine held out a piece of cake on a plate. It was the final tasting of their wedding cake, "Now, you can't eat it really, but you only cared about the icing last time anyway, so you can try some of that."

Kurt held out his hands, "Give me."

Blaine walked around to the hallways, "I also picked this up for you," he held a bouquet in his hands.

Kurt put a hand to his mouth, "You got me flowers?"

"Indeed." He brought them closer until he saw Kurt start laughing.

"You got me the flowers with the peacock feather? Blaine Anderson!" Kurt started laughing again, "I cannot believe I sang that in front of her."

"She loved it. She is still probably laughing." Blaine set the flowers on the coffee table and started cutting Kurt's pasta for him.

Kurt allowed Blaine to feed him some of the food before his mouth hurt too much. He didn't want to tell Blaine that the acid from the sauce probably wasn't a good idea. "It hurts, Blaine, I can't."

"I figured, which is why I also made these while you were sleeping," Blaine brought Kurt a smoothie.

"What flavor?"

Blaine handed him the cup, "Just drink it."

Kurt sipped it, "Mango! Oh my god, this is good! Can I have a straw though?"

"Nope. Doctors orders." Blaine started unwrapping the cake.

"I don't remember her saying that.."

"It's in the pamphlets she gave us. I read them while you were sleeping earlier." Blaine put a bit of the icing on his finger, "Do you want to try?"

Kurt nodded.

Blaine gently ran his finger over Kurt's bottom lip, allowing only a little icing to get there. "Is it good?" Blaine really didn't want to go through yet another round of cake tasting. He was finally at his goal physical shape, and cake tasting wouldn't do.

Kurt nodded, "Are you sure I can't eat that whole thing? It's so good."

"I can put it in the blender…" Blaine grimaced at the thought.

"No! Don't do that. Please."

Blaine laughed and started clearing away the dishes, "Will you be okay with Cher and Christina while I start the dishwasher?"

"No! Just let them sit!"

"I cannot." Blaine covered Kurt back up again, "Why don't you rest your eyes for a little again?"

Kurt grumbled about not being a child, but when Blaine finished starting the dishwasher and putting the cake away for later, Kurt was fast asleep.

It took five days, but Kurt had little swelling or bruising thanks to Blaine's care.
