After Kurt had time to deal with Finn's death, their relationship went back to their happy normal, which was good because it was just in time for Valentine's day. And because it was their first Valentine's Day, Blaine wanted to make it extra special. He had talked to his brother...well more like blackmailed...and had managed to get the day off. That way he could finished all that he planned for Kurt. He was planning on cooking a really fancy dinner, picking up one of Kurt's favorite cheesecake's and then if he was really lucky…
He had just gotten out of the shower when he got a call from Cooper. "What is it?" Blaine asked as he picked up the phone.
"We need you in here." Cooper said blankly.
"You already said that I could have the day off." Blaine insisted.
"Well now I'm saying that you have to come in." Cooper told him.
"That's not fair." Blaine retorted. "We had a deal."
"Well that's too bad. I may be your brother, but I'm your boss too." Cooper told him. "Now get in here before I tell dad."
"Now who's blackmailing who…" Blaine replied.
"Just get your ass in here." Cooper yelled back before hanging up on his brother. Blaine rolled his eyes and chucked his phone at the couch. Cooper had just ruined everything. Blaine pulled on a fresh pair of scrubs and gelled his hair before leaving and catching the next bus to the hospital. That was another unfortunate part of his day considering the child next to him screamed her head off all the way there and there was a man hacking up who knows what on his other side. When he got to the hospital, he sulked inside and went to the ER.
"Well, I'm here." he said with a scowl on his face once he had found Cooper.
"What do you want? A cookie for doing your job." he retorted.
"Hey don't take it out on me just because I have someone to actually spend Valentine's Day with and you don't!" Blaine replied in a nasty voice. Cooper, who looked generally hurt, thrust a chart into his hands.
"Just go take care of your patient." Cooper mumbled before turning away from his brother. Blaine just rolled his eyes and walked towards bay one where his current patient was. Blaine opened up the curtain and a man with a rash over part of his face and neck was sitting on the bed with his very worried girlfriend at his side.
"Okay, Mr. Smith, that rash looks pretty uncomfortable." Blaine said as he pulled on a pair of gloves and moved towards the patient's neck to examine him. "Any idea how this happened? Do you have any allergies?"
"I'm allergic to peanuts." the man replied.
"And...did you eat any peanuts?" Blaine asked.
"No, I didn't." He replied.
"Well, for now I'm going to give you some epinephrine, which will stop the itching and make the rash go away." Blaine replied.
"Then, he'll be okay?" the woman next to him asked.
"Then he'll be just fine." Blaine replied as he injected the syringe into the man's arm. "We're going to keep you here for a few hours under observation and then we can send you home."
"So we'll still get some of our Valentines day." the woman said as she ran her fingers through her boyfriend's hair.
"I hope so, considering it's our anniversary." the man laughed grabbing his worried girlfriend's hand."
"How long have you two been together?" Blaine asked once he finished filling out the chart.
"Six years." The woman replied. "and I've loved every single minute of them."
"We actually met in this hospital." the man said. "I was having another allergic reaction and Taylor was in the bed next to me."
"I had broken my arm when I slipped on some ice." Taylor replied. "I hate hospitals. They creep me out. But, John was there and talked to me the whole time. We went on a date a few days later and I was hooked."
"That's very sweet." Blaine said with a smile.
"Do you have a special someone?" Taylor asked.
"Yeah, I do." Blaine replied. "I'm hoping I'll actually to spend some time with him tonight too."
"I hope you get to as well." John said putting an arm around Taylor's waist. Blaine smiled at how in love they were. Blaine hoped that after six years, he and Kurt would feel the same way about each other.
"Well, you two just chill for about an hour or so and then i'll be back to discharge you." Blaine told them before leaving. When he opened the curtain, he saw Kurt over by the nurses station. So, he came up behind him and kissed his neck. Kurt smiled and leaned into Blaine's touch.
"What are you doing here?" He asked. "I thought you had the day off."
"My annoying brother and boss called me in." Blaine replied.
"Well, at least we're together." Kurt said. "That's better than nothing."
"Yeah, I guess you're right." Blaine said.
"Want to grab a quick coffee?" Kurt asked. "I'm waiting for my patient's bloodwork."
"Sure, I have about an hour before I need to discharge my patient." Blaine replied. Together they walked down to the cafeteria and grabbed two coffees before sitting down at the table. They talked for a while before Blaine's pager went off. He grabbed it and looked down.
"Shit." Blaine muttered getting up. "Something is wrong with my allergy patient." he said as he started making a break for the ER with Kurt behind him. They got to bay one and saw John scratching at his throat. It was clear that he couldn't breathe. Kurt grabbed the oxygen mask and strapped it onto John's face while Blaine searched desperately through a drawer for the right drug. He found it and then jabbed it into John's arm. His breathing got slower and more stable.
"Okay, what happened?" Blaine asked. "He was completely fine. What did you two do while I was gone?"
"He was hungry…" Taylor asked. "I gave him one of my brownies. I made them earlier to bring to his house. I had a few in my purse."
"And are their nuts in them?" Blaine asked.
"No, of course not." Taylor replied. "I know he's allergic to peanuts. I wouldn't do that."
"I need you to tell me every single ingredient that you put into those brownies." Blaine told her.
"Umm… chocolate, eggs, milk, flour, baking soda, oil…" Taylor told him.
"Oil? What kind of oil?" Blaine asked.
"I don't know. Vegetable oil? It didn't have a label." Taylor replied.
"Peanut oil is the same color as vegetable oil. But, it does give the brownie a different taste." Blaine said. "John, have you had Taylor's brownies before?" he asked. Because he had an oxygen mask over his face, John nodded. "Did they taste different this time?" Blaine asked. John nodded again. "So, that's what happened. You used peanut oil instead of vegetable oil which made your boyfriend have an allergic reaction." Instantly, Taylor's face fell.
"Honey, I'm so sorry." She said tears in her eyes. "I feel so bad. I did this to you." John reached out and grabbed her hand.
"Shut up." John breathed out. "You didn't do it on purpose."
"I still feel bad." Taylor cried.
"Don't feel bad." John said. "I think it was fate that we were here tonight. This is where we first met and I don't think that there would be a better place to do this." He said. John reached into his pocket and pulled out a small red velvet box. "Taylor Graham, I have loved you since the moment I met you. I have loved every single moment we spent together, even when they were bad. In sickness and in health I will be with you and support you always. You are the love of my life. Will you marry me?" he asked. Taylor, who had her hand over her shocked face, nodded her head.
"Yes, I will marry you." Taylor said as she leaned forward and kissed John on the mouth.
"We'll have to keep John overnight. We'll get you into a private room as soon as we can." Blaine said. Then, he and Blaine, left to leave the newly engaged couple alone.
"Well, that was unexpected." Kurt laughed.
'They've been together for six years." Blaine replied. "For them, it's probably long overdue."
"Well, I'm happy for them." Kurt said. "But, I have to go and get my patient's labs. I'll see you later tonight." he added before giving Blaine a quick kiss. After that, Blaine put Taylor and John into a room before going to meet Kurt and go home. After Kurt had changed, they walked hand in hand out to the car and drove home. Blaine felt bad that he hadn't done anything that he planned.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Kurt asked.
"I-I just had a whole night planned out for us." Blaine sighed. "I was going to make you dinner and get a cheesecake and then...we could...you know."
"Well, we still...you know.. if you really want." Kurt laughed. He went over to the toaster and popped in four slices of toast and grabbed two beers out of the fridge. "It's not gourmet, but it'll work." Kurt replied. When the toast popped out, Kurt buttered them and put them on two plates and they sat down at the kitchen table.
"Well, this isn't how I planned it, but it's pretty perfect." Blaine replied. "Happy Valentine's Day."
"Happy Valentine's Day." Kurt said with as smile as he kissed Blaine on the lips. While, they were kissing, their front door opened and Sam and Rachel came into the apartment making out as they flopped onto the couch. Kurt and Blaine just stood there in shock.
"Whoa, okay…" Kurt said. "Let's go to our room...now. I don't want to watch this." he added taking Blaine's hand.
"Aren't we just going to do the same thing?" Blaine asked.
"No way…" Kurt laughed. "Something way better." he added as he led Blaine into their room. It hadn't worked out perfectly, but this was definitely a Valentine's day they would never forget.
