Prompts!week continues! Klaine sending their daughter off to college, prompted by I Am Unircon07.
I don't know why but while writing this, it reminded me of Taylor Swift's Safe And Sound? Hence the title.
Come Morning Light
When they go back home, it's eerily silent. Kurt goes to get a glass of cold water- the air is humid and hot today, just like it's been for the past week- and Blaine sits down on the couch, staring at the black TV screen.
Kurt brings him a glass of water as well, and sits by him, grabbing his hand. "B. She's landing in two hours. She'll call us then."
Blaine silently takes the water and sips slowly, listening to the quiet surrounding them. "It is cliché to say that 'they grow up so fast'?" he says after he's done with his water.
"I think there's a good reason it's a cliché," says Kurt, squeezing Blaine's hand and letting him lean on his shoulder.
"The next time we see her in person will be in two months. I haven't not seen her for this long since she was born." Blaine keeps staring, like he's seeing something hidden to mortal eyes.
"She'll be alright, B. She's your daughter, after all," Kurt says, grinning. He presses a kiss onto Blaine's hair. "Our little baby is a grown woman."
Blaine makes a noise between a chuckle and a sob. "Yeah. Yeah, she'll be alright."
