Kurt was so glad that Blaine's last name was early in the alphabet. He found himself in the McKinley High auditorium for the thousandth time, but this time was so different.
Blaine, the love of his life, was graduating.
Principal Figgins was droning on about successes and failures and how proud he was of the graduates, but Kurt couldn't hear any of it. His eyes were locked on Blaine's from the stage, who looked both nervous and excited. \
After what seemed like an eternity, Figgins started calling the names. "Katie Marie Allen," Figgins announced.
Blaine was next.
"Blaine Devon Anderson," Figgins said.
Kurt, Burt, Cooper, and Blaine's parents all stood and cheered. Tears poured from Kurt's eyes as he watched the person he loved most in the world, who had faced so much adversity and struggle in his life, take a step into his future. The rest of the ceremony dragged on, as Kurt cheered for all of his fellow New Directions who were also graduating. After the ceremony, Kurt tackled Blaine with a big hug. "I am so proud of you," Kurt whispered.
Blaine's grip around Kurt was unrelenting. "I have you to thank for everything. I wouldn't be here, at this amazing school, without you," Blaine said.
"Kurt, I'm taking off to see your grandma. I'm staying at her house to fix some things tonight," Burt said.
Kurt waved goodbye to his father.
"Congrats kid. Do you want to get some dinner?" Cooper asked Blaine.
Blaine looked over at Kurt. "Nah, I'm good," he said. Kurt and Blaine laced fingers and walked to Kurt's car. "So, you do have the house to yourself tonight, right?" Blaine asked.
"Yep," Kurt replied with a smirk.
Blaine kissed him gently and Kurt drove off into the night.
