Title and inspiration- Paramore's Still Into You. That song is so perfectly Klaine that I can't handle it.
'Cause After All This Time
It has been one hundred eighty five red roses. Fifty seven yellow roses. Twenty lilies.
It has been a break up, a move-out, but also two move-ins and two proposals and one wedding.
It has been five Valentine boxes of chocolates. Ten birthday cakes. Five anniversary dinners at fancy, overly expensive restaurants.
It has been countless kisses and countless touches and countless loving whispers of each other's names.
It has been five years. Twenty six days. Seven hours. Three minutes. Forty three seconds. Forty four. Forty five. Forty six. Forty seven. Forty eight.
There is nothing special about this moment, except for everything about it: their hands intertwined on the dinner table, their devoted smiles at each other, the green piece of basil in Blaine's teeth, the drop of red sauce on Kurt's chin, their blissful voices as they tell each other about the eventful day, the scent of freshly cooked pasta in the kitchen air, the forgotten buzz of a new, to-be-ignored text message on one of their phones, the dim candlelight in the room because both of them have forgotten changing the lightbulb, but that's okay because they haven't had a candle-lit dinner in a while.
This moment is as special as a moment can be, because in this moment, they are together and nothing else matters.
