AN: Yeah, I kind of floundered with this chapter, sorry :P

SHORT CHAPTER IS SHORT!

Oh, and the song I used as Kurt's ringtone is 'Bare' from 'Bare: a pop opera'-look it up on YouTube because it's bittersweet and absolutely gorgeous. I don't know why Kurt would put it as his ringtone but… oh well!

Speaking of Bare, look up the song 'See Me' from the same musical because I'm pretty sure that's how Blaine's first attempt at coming out went, basically ;)

But really you guys should just see the musical itself because it's wonderful and sad and real and epic!

Anyway, enjoy :D

Chapter 11: The Spanish Teacher

Kurt sighed.

He couldn't believe Finn. How could he think that getting married would do him any good? If they were in love, couldn't they wait until they were both ready for marriage?

Finn needed to focus on his future instead of fallowing Rachel around like a lost puppy. And Kurt wholeheartedly believed that his brother and best friend could get married someday, but not now-not at such a crucial stage in both of their lives where marriage will only become a distraction and they'll both end up hating each other for preventing each other from achieving their dreams.

"What would you do if Blaine proposed to you?"

Kurt leaned against the wall in frustration. Blaine would be smart enough to understand the situation, so he wouldn't propose. Blaine would understand that marriage didn't mean eternal love. Blaine wouldn't-okay, maybe Blaine would think that Kurt was the only good thing in his life, but Blaine would also understand that they were made for one another and it didn't matter if they 'sealed the deal'-though Kurt defiantly would like to someday.

Well, Blaine had kind of proposed weeks ago in Their Cabin, but it wasn't like they were planning the day already or picking out tuxes. It was an eventually thing, right?

"Do you remember
the day that you met me?
I swear it was yesterday, I knew with a glance
that you were the question,
and you were the answer
that the world would make sense again if I held your hand"

Kurt jumped at the sound of the familiar tune blasting throughout his room.

It took him a moment to register that it was his phone making the sound and Jason hadn't just magically popped out of the musical Blaine had taken him to see over the summer and started serenading him before his untimely death.

"Hey Blaine" Kurt answered warmly.

"I miss you" Blaine returned, and Kurt could imagine those huge copper eyes shining, drinking in the sight of him, just like every time Blaine said that.

"I miss you too" the countertenor cooed, moving to lie down on his bed. It was like having Blaine on the phone with him was enough to evaporate all his worries.

"So, you texted me and said something was going on with Finn and Rachel? What was that about? Are the fighting again?" Blaine wondered, snapping Kurt back to his previous thoughts.

"If you could marry me today, would you?" Kurt asked. Maybe it was tactless, but Kurt really needed to know if Blaine was being a stupid as Finn.

"Of course" Blaine said without hesitation. "I love you-didn't we have this conversation already?"

Kurt laughed lightly. "Yeah, but I mean really get married, not hypothetically or in the future-I mean right this very second." Kurt couldn't even wait for Blaine's answer before blurting out "Finn proposed to Rachel because he thinks she's all he's got and he's not even considering his future or his talents-he just wants to be her trophy husband!"

There was a short silence. Kurt could literally feel his heart working in anticipation. He didn't even know what he was waiting for or what he wanted Blaine to say.

"So he thinks marrying Rachel will solve all this problems, basically, and secure his future without him having to do anything?"

Kurt released a relieved breath. "Yes. I got him a list of colleges near NYADA with things that would interest him and he wouldn't even look at it."

"That's kind of selfish of him, isn't it? I mean, you should marry someone because you love them and you never want to be apart, not because you don't want to deal with the future." Blaine said sagely.

Kurt smiled. He had half-expected Blaine would take Finn's side, and was glad that his boyfriend agreed with him. "Enough about my brother and his drama-we should be lamenting for ourselves!" he exclaimed.

"Why?" Blaine asked, sounding amused and so in love. Kurt could picture the dreamy little smile on Blaine's face as it was said.

"Because it's our first Valentine's Day as a couple and we don't get to spend it together!"

Blaine chuckled and Kurt could feel his heart swelling joyfully. "We can still spend after school hours together, right?" he asked coyly, sending a pleasurable shiver down Kurt's spine.

"Yes" the older said, not even caring that it sounded breathy and high. He sobered though, and whined "But I'm going to have to watch everyone at school be all lovey-dovey and I'll be alone-just like every other Valentine's Day."

"Hey, I'll be stuck watching Valentine themed soap operas all day! Besides," Blaine continued softly. "I've been alone every Valentine's day too."

Hearing his lover sound so sad and broken made Kurt's heart ache with the need to make it better.

"Well I promise" Kurt vowed, sitting up as though to make things more serious. "This Valentine's Day will be the best, most love-filled, either of us has ever had."

"And I promise to make you feel as loved as you make me feel every day."

Kurt was smiling so much he swore his face would be stuck like that forever. "It's a date."
