AN: Fluff alert! I needed some good old Klaine love. No kink in this chapter but I hope you enjoy anyways.
Chapter 41
The whole group ate a simple dinner of soup and salad, all of them having consumed too many baked goods throughout the day to eat any more than that.
After dinner, Blaine helped Finn clear the dishes while Burt pulled Kurt into the hallway to talk.
"Now I know I've said before that Blaine has to stay on the couch-"Burt began, rubbing the back of his neck.
Kurt interrupted with a roll of his eyes. "I know dad. I'm going to get blankets and stuff for him down here."
Burt gave Kurt a look. "Well, I was going to say he can stay in your room if you wanted but since you seem so sure you want him on the couch…"
Kurt looked shocked and said abruptly. "Really? You'd let him, I mean, really?"
Burt nodded, looking a little uncomfortable. "I trust you two and I'm sure you will be considerate of the others in this family. Got it?"
Kurt squealed and gave his dad a quick hug. "Yes, thank you so much!"
He bounded back into the kitchen as Burt watched with a small smile on his face. Kurt went up to Blaine and wrapped his arms around him.
"Well, hello there. What's with this?" Blaine asked, twisting a bit so he could give Kurt a kiss on the cheek.
Kurt whispered in his ear. "My dad said you can stay in my room tonight."
Blaine gave Kurt a shocked look even as a smile grew on his face. "Really?"
Kurt nodded. "I'm going to go get your bag while you finish in here. Be right back." He reached into the pocket of Blaine's pants and pulled his car keys out and headed for the door.
Blaine laughed at his boyfriend's excitement before turning back to the sink. Finn asked. "What was that about?"
Blaine just gave him a smile and said. "Just some good news."
Finn shrugged and the two finished up the dishes before Kurt came back in. He grabbed Blaine's arm and began dragging him up the stairs. Blaine followed and shut the door behind him. Kurt pulled him into his arms and gave him a kiss.
Blaine moved them over to the bed, the two still kissing each other. He pulled back and told Kurt. "Hold on a minute."
Kurt watched as Blaine went to his bag and pulled out a box. Blaine walked over to Kurt and sat next to him again, holding his hand with the hand not holding the box. "Blaine, what?" Kurt began.
Blaine cut off. "Hold on babe. I, I know I gave you the gum wrapper promise ring at school. But it was more of a placeholder until I could get this." He opened the box to show a ring with a small stone on it. Kurt stared at it with wide eyes. "I love you Kurt. You are the only one for me and maybe I'm naïve for thinking we will be together forever but I can't see a future without you. I'm not asking you to marry me, we are too young for that, but I want you to have this ring as tangible proof of how much I care for you and that I am planning a future with you."
Kurt had a few tears streaming down his face. "Blaine, I don't even know what to say. I feel like you took everything I feel for you and put it in words. But honey, I don't need a nicer ring. I love the one you gave me already." Kurt showed his hand to Blaine where the gum wrapper ring was already on his finger.
Blaine grabbed his hand and pressed a kiss to the fake ring. "I always intended to give you this ring. I just had to get it sized. I want a permanent ring for you. This one has probably fallen apart a few times now. I just want you to have something tougher."
Kurt pulled the ring out of the box and slid it on his finger next to the gum wrapper. "It's perfect. Both of them are perfect. Blaine, thank you so much. I love you."
Blaine wiped a tear from Kurt's face and gave him a sweet kiss on the lips. "I love you too."
The two kissed a few more times before moving up the bed to lean on the headboard. Kurt curled into Blaine, staring at his hand. "It's so beautiful honey."
Blaine looked down at his hand and laced his fingers through. "You deserve it baby. You are just so beautiful, you deserve beautiful things."
Kurt flushed and buried his head in Blaine's shoulder. "Thank you." He whispered into Blaine's shoulder.
Blaine pressed a kiss to the top of his head. They lay like that, hands twined together, for a few minutes.
AN: Yeah. Fluff. I was sad they cut their scene out of the episode. So I had to have my own mention of it.
