Blaine was humming a melody under his breath, focused on the screen of his laptop. After Saturday night’s engagement they had spent a big part of Sunday announcing the news to their families and friends. They hadn’t talked much about the wedding but they at least agreed they wanted it soon so they decided to get married the next month after Christmas.

Blaine was searching the internet for a suitable place for the occasion, trying to find something that Kurt would approve of when he heard the keys in the lock. Blaine looked at the clock, checking what time it was.

“Kurt? What are you doing here?” He asked surprised as his fiancé entered the room.

“I have to quit my job.” Kurt said and sank next to him on the sofa.

“What?”

“There is no way he would let me stay there…”

“What?”

“I have some designs I’ve been saving for my own shop. Maybe I should start online first. I’ll put the outfits there and I’ll see.”

“Kurt? Baby, what happened?” Kurt finally raised his eyes from the floor.

“Would it be a big problem if I left my job?”

“Of course not. If that’s what you want…but you haven’t mentioned anything so far. You’re home early and I feel like this is some kind of quick decision. Maybe you should talk to me about it…” Blaine turned off the computer and wrapped his arms around Kurt’s shoulders, bringing him closer to him.

“He wants me to go to Europe for six months. Do you remember how I told you about the touring fashion show? Every month in another city? When they were looking for someone who would go and help them prepare it, I didn’t apply for the job. I didn’t want to go. And now he wants me to leave in two weeks. In two weeks, Blaine!”

“Well…and if you said no?”

“He said if I didn’t take it he would have to reconsider my loyalty to the company…He sent me home to talk to you. He needs the answer in the morning. I know my answer. I don’t care the girl who got the job is pregnant. I mean, who with the common sense gets knocked up right before the big shot in their career?”

“She is pregnant?”

“Yes! Can you believe that? She’s been preparing for that for months and now she is out of the game because she doesn’t want to leave her doctor. She doesn’t trust anybody but him and there is no way she is giving birth to her child in Europe. And my boss doesn’t think she should go because she might not be able to handle the pressure in her condition. Like too much of hormones or whatever. I don’t care. Hasn’t she heard about condoms?” Blaine laughed at Kurt’s supercilious expression.

“Don’t laugh at me. Do you know how many employees the company has? Why do I have to be the one that my boss chose?”

“Did he tell you why he wants you to go? I mean, you are the best one there, I get it but you weren’t interested in the first place…”

“He said no one could do it without being prepared for it except me. He said my fashion shows were the best and he wants me to do it. Like…he wasn’t even asking me. He was ordering me to go!” Blaine was running his hands up and down Kurt’s back in a soothing manner. The silence fell on them for a few minutes. Kurt calmed down a little bit and eased himself from Blaine’s embrace.

“What do you think about it?” He asked him, feeling something was out of place because Blaine hadn’t said a word about the matter.

“Do you want to go?”

“Blaine, I can’t go! I can’t leave you for six months! You can’t go with me because you are about to record the album after the New Year…”

“That wasn’t the answer to my question. I’m asking whether you want to go. Don’t look at circumstances. Do you want to go?”

“Blaine…”

“I think you should go…”

“No, no, no.” Kurt shook his head. “Don’t do this to me again, Blaine.”

“What?”

“You are not going to break up with me to make me go, are you?”

“Oh my god, of course not!” Blaine immediately leaned forward to kiss Kurt’s worries away.

“Just listen to me for a while and if you decide not to go, I’ll take it. You had a chance to go to Europe once and you gave it up. For us. Don’t do it again. It’s six months. We can handle it. I can come to visit you and we can Skype. It’s the opportunity to kill for, Kurt. We have our whole life to be together. Six months is nothing in comparison to a life time. And when you find out you want to stay in Europe after that then we move out from the States. I can compose everywhere…” Kurt was silently listening to him, frowning and stubbornly shaking his head.

“I love you, Kurt. You’ve made so much for me. You always stand by my side and support me no matter what. It’s my turn to take care of you. It’s my turn to let you know that I’ll always be here no matter what as well.”

“I know you will…”

“Okay. I’m glad. So please, think about it. Don’t throw it away. We’ll be okay. We are meant to be together. Six months and the ocean between us can’t do any harm...”

“What about the wedding?”

“We’ll get married when you come back.”

“I can’t believe it…” Kurt whispered against Blaine’s lips. They’d been kissing for a while now and neither of them could get enough.

“Well, I can say it wasn’t in my plans for today when I woke up.” Blaine answered with a soft smile.

“But it was a great change of our plans, right?”

“Definitely the best. This day is simply the sequel to an amazing morning…”

Blaine was woken up by a tender caressing on his face. He opened his eyes and the first thing he saw was Kurt smiling at him. Without a word he brought Kurt on top of him and kissed him as there was no tomorrow. In fact, there was tomorrow and the tomorrow after tomorrow as well but then it would be just Blaine alone in their bed and Kurt alone in a hotel room in Europe. They didn’t talk much about it since they had decided Kurt would go to Europe ten days ago. They wanted to enjoy their time together. It was in the air but they silently decided to ignore it.

“I’m going to miss you like crazy.” Blaine said with a sight, stroking Kurt’s hair from his face and tugging him even closer.

“I’m going to miss you too.”

“I love you.”

“Let’s get married.”

“What?” Blaine rolled them over so they could face each other lying on their sides.

“There is no reason to wait till I come back. We want to get married so let’s just do it.”

“You mean before you go?”

“No, I mean now.”

“Do you feel different?” Kurt asked him and Blaine took some time before responding.

“Yes and not at all at the same time. Does it make sense?” Kurt nodded and connected his lips with his husband once again.

“Maybe not but I know what you are talking about.” He entwined their fingers, feeling of their wedding rings sending butterflies to his stomach. He squeezed Blaine’s right hand, a habit he developed when they started to wear their engagement rings. He had no idea why he was doing it.

“We should go home. We have a conference call with our families in an hour.” Blaine reminded him and they moved forward from the building they’d just got married in.

Kurt was sitting on their bed with his back leaning against a headboard. Blaine was positioned between his legs, his back resting against Kurt’s chest. Kurt had his arms wrapped around Blaine’s waist while Blaine’s hands were preoccupied by logging them onto Skype on the laptop on his knees so they could have a talk with their parents and siblings.

“How do we tell them?” Kurt wondered.

“Hello everyone. We got married today.” Blaine said carelessly.

“Okay. You’re the one breaking the news this way…” Kurt noted and kissed his shoulder.

“Okay, they are online. I’m pressing the call button…” He turned his head and pecked Kurt’s lips. “I love you mor…”

“I love you too, little brother.” Kurt burst into laughter. Cooper was usually driving Blaine crazy but Kurt loved him as much as his own step brother. Soon it was six people on the call and it took a little time to say hello but after a few moments of greetings they were all ready to listen to Kurt and Blaine.

“So what’s up, Kurt?” Finn asked him eagerly to know big news.

“Is everything okay?” Alice was concerned since they had got the text about the time of the call a few hours ago.

“Yes. Everything is great. More than great actually…” Kurt started and nudged Blaine to continue.

“We wanted you to join us in this conference call because there is something we need to tell you.”

“Are you going to Europe with Kurt?”

“No, Coop. I’m not going.”

“Thank God.” Burt said. “Kurt will come back home…” Kurt chuckled. He knew very well that although his father was really supportive, he didn’t like the idea of his son being in the other continent permanently.

“Well. Back to the point. Kurt and I…We are married.” Quiet. For a long time. Blaine could feel like Kurt’s heart started beating faster, probably in distress. They clearly didn’t expect the news being taken by the silence.

“Can you at least say something?” Kurt’s words sounded insecure. “You don’t have to congratulate us but please just tell us something.”

“Who was the best man? I was supposed to be the best man…” Blaine rolled his eyes. Of course Cooper would make it about himself.

“There were no best men. We got married today in the city hall. Just the two of us…”

“But why? I thought you wanted to get married when Kurt comes back…” Daniel finally found the courage to ask.

“Kiddo, why didn’t you tell us? We could have come to New York to be there for you. I can’t believe I missed your wedding.” Burt’s voice was small and at that moment Kurt understood why the wedding wasn’t just about the newlyweds.

“I’m sorry.” Kurt whispered and Blaine was not sure whether it was received on the other side but he didn’t care. He shifted himself in Kurt’s arms and looked at him.

“Baby, it’s okay. You have nothing to be sorry about. They are shocked but they love us and they’ll understand.” Kurt blinked his eyes furiously to get rid of the tears that were trying to fall down.

“Do you trust me?” Kurt’s nod was awarded by Blaine’s smile and kiss. “It’s okay. Trust me. Everything is okay.” Blaine turned around to face the webcam again.

“I’m not going to say I’m sorry, because I’m not. We wanted to have a little wedding with our family and friends as soon as Kurt will be back from Europe. We didn’t plan to get married today. We just woke up this morning and decided to do it. It’s not a big deal. It’s our life and we didn’t want to wait. I would love you to be happy for us but you are all upset and I don’t want to remember the day I married the most amazing man in this world as the day when  according to our families we did something wrong. Maybe we should end this call and we can talk about it when it settles in you. I know it’s probably a bit much to take in right now.” Blaine said kindly but firmly.

“Blaine, wait.” Carol interrupted him. “It caught us unprepared. We weren’t expecting it. But we are happy. I know it’s about you, not us and probably it was selfish from us not to respond with a joy and congratulations. Please, look at it from our point of view. We love you both and we wanted to share that important moment in your life with you. I accept your decision though.”

“We still can have the wedding party when I come back from Europe. We can repeat the ceremony. I just…this morning I got the feeling that there is no reason to wait any longer. We didn’t mean to hurt you. I’m sorry if we did…”

“Don’t be sorry, Kurt.” Alice said softly. “I’m happy my boy is married to someone like you. It was a surprise for us and we should have handled it better. Congratulations.”

“Thank you, mum.”

“On the repeating ceremony, will I get to be the best man?”

“Cooper!” Blaine was about to scold his brother when Kurt overtook him.

“Of course. You and Nick will be Blaine’s best men and Finn and Luke will be mine. Everything will be as we planned it except the fact that we’ll already be married.”

“I can live with that.” Finn responded with a shrug of his shoulder.

“Okay. Let’s start again. I’m happy for you. I can’t say I’m not sad I didn’t get to see my son getting married. I thought I would never be at Blaine’s wedding because we were on the rocks but since we reunited I was looking forward to be a part of his life. Especially in a moment like this. But I understand. I really do. I think I can safely say all of us do.”

“Yeah.” Burt joined Daniel. “Congratulations, boys. Don’t mind us. Enjoy your big day. We can talk properly later, okay?”

“I don’t want you to be mad at me, dad.”

“I’m not mad at you Kurt. I was really looking forward to see you getting married. We’ve been through a lot during the years when there was just the two of us and…This is not about me, Kurt. It’s about you and Blaine. You deserve to be happy so go and make the best of the time you have together before you have to leave.”

“Thank you. We’ll call you later.” They said their goodbyes and Blaine logged them off. He stood up, taking the computer with him and putting it on the table. Then he returned back to Kurt.

“I’m sorry, baby.” Kurt look at him confused.

“What are you sorry for?”

“Maybe we shouldn’t have got married like this…” Kurt’s eyes widened and he immediately sat up.

“What?! We’ve been married for two hours and you are already regretting it?”

“No. No. Kurt, no. I’m not regretting marrying you. But you seem to be affected by their not so warm response…” Kurt framed Blaine’s face with his hands and brought him in for a searing kiss.

“I wouldn’t have had it any other way.”

“No?”

“No. Even if I knew how they would react I would have done exactly the same thing.” Blaine connected their lips. And then again and again.

“You’re mine.” He breathed as Kurt wrapped his arms around his shoulders.

“And you are mine.”

“Yours forever.”

“I love you, Blaine.” Blaine had no idea how he found himself on top of Kurt suddenly. He had no idea how Kurt could unbutton his shirt so quickly. He also didn’t have time to figure it out because there was a gorgeous man lying underneath him; undressing him, needing him and wanting him and Blaine needed and wanted this man as well so he did the only thing that appeared to be the best choice in the situation. He covered Kurt’s body with kisses and caresses, showing him how much he loved him and making the connection on the whole new level with him that went further than any wedding rings and promises could ever go.

One day. Only one day left. One day and Kurt would be back. In The States, in New York, in their apartment, in Blaine’s arms. One day. The longest day of Blaine’s life. He had already cleaned the whole apartment twice and was about to do it the third time when he heard the noise from the hall followed by the loud thumping on the door.

“Cooper?”

“Yes. You have twenty minutes to pack your things.”

“What?” But Cooper was already in his bedroom opening the door to his closet. He put the suitcase on the bed and started to throw some shirts and trousers inside.

“What the hell are you doing?”

“You can do it yourself but hurry up!”

“Why?”

“Because we are flying to Ohio today.”

“We are not! My husband is coming home tomorrow and…”

“Your husband is coming to Ohio tomorrow! So hurry up. I flew from LA to New York just to pick you up. I’m exhausted and I really don’t want to deal with your stubbornness right now.”

“Fine!” Blaine snapped at him and packed some more of his clothes.

“Where are you going?” Cooper yelled at him when Blaine disappeared in the bathroom.

“I need my hair gel and my toothbrush and my body wash and my…”

“Okay, okay. I get it.”

They left the apartment fifteen minutes later. Blaine demanded the answers to his questions but Cooper didn’t say anything. He just told him to shut up and wait.

The flight wasn’t a pleasant one. Blaine was wondering whether Kurt knew about this and if he did why he hadn’t said anything to Blaine. Blaine was never more grateful for the landing. He rushed from the plane, away from his annoying brother. He made it out from the airport in a record time. He was about to head to the car rental when a soft voice stopped him.

“Great to see you again.” He turned around and there he was. Stunning as ever. With two big steps Blaine was right in front of him, embracing him in a tight, ribs crashing hug.

Meanwhile Cooper ran out of the airport hall and when he saw his brother hugging his husband he smiled and high fived with Finn. They did a pretty good job at the surprise. Because they were the best brothers in the whole world and they also wanted to be the best men desperately so they needed Kurt and Blaine in the same place with their families and friends as soon as possible…

“I missed you so much.” Blaine peppered Kurt’s face with soft kisses. “It’s been three months. God, I don’t even know how I could go without you for three months. I should have visited you more often. Why did we agree on just one visit in six months?” He murmured between kisses.

“Blaine, we need to stop.” Kurt said breathlessly.

“No.” Blaine whined. “Why would we stop?”

“Because we just arrived at your parents’ house from the airport, told them we are going to shower and they are expecting us downstairs soon. Plus, because if you don’t stop what you are doing I won’t be able not to jump your bones.” Blaine smirked at him and raised himself on his elbows.

“Well, that’s my intention.” With a devilish smile he started sucking on Kurt’s collarbone, knowing he would have Kurt writhing underneath him in no time.

“Blaine, we’ve never had sex in our parents’ houses.” Kurt hissed.

“Everything is for the first time once, baby.”

“UP!” Kurt rolled Blaine over him and stood up.

“Kurt! Baby, please. I need to feel you to truly believe you’re actually here. I’m going crazy. I need you close to me. As close as possible. I was planning for us not to get out from the bed if it wasn’t necessary for days before our brothers decided to kidnap us!” Kurt was standing in front of him just in his underwear by this point. Blaine was once again thinking what he had done wrong for being punished like this. He had Kurt the day earlier only not to really have him.

“Aren’t you going to join me?” Kurt asked innocently.

“What?!”

“Well, I was hoping for some fun in the shower…” Blaine ripped off his clothes and grabbed Kurt’s hand, dragging him to the bathroom.

“You need to be quiet, honey. I don’t want anyone to know…”

“I will. I swear, I will.” Kurt took Blaine’s right hand and kissed his knuckles before stroking Blaine’s ring with his thumb.

“I’ll gladly repeat the ceremony at the weekend but I don’t want us to put our rings down and then put them on again. We’ve been wearing them for six months and I don’t see why we should do it.”          

“We don’t have to…I’m so happy I have you back, Kurt. I’m never letting you go. I’ll follow you like a lost puppy wherever you’ll go because I can’t stand the thought of being apart from you again.”

“I’m not going anywhere without you ever again. I love you so much, Blaine.”

“I love you too, Kurt.”
