"Are you sure he'll like me?" Blaine asked as he and Kurt walked, and in hand up the steps to Kurt's house. He felt like a teenage boy all over again, meeting his boyfriends parents for the first time, and from what Kurt had said about his father, he sounded a little intimidating.

"Trust me, he'll love you," Kurt just replied, squeezing his hand reassuringly before opening the front door. "Dad! Carol!" He called, stepping inside, "Come here! There's someone I want you to meet."

The first person to round the corner into the living room from the kitchen was Finn, who Blaine had met a few weeks before. He smiled when he saw the two, "Hey, Kurt. Hey Blaine."

Blaine just smiled nervously at him before turning his attention back to the kitchen's entryway. The next person to enter was a cheerful looking woman with short, dark hair. She was drying her hands with a towel and reached one out to shake Blaine's hand once she got close enough. "I'm Carol," She said, smiling sweetly, "You must be Blaine. We've heard great things about you."

Blaine glanced up at Kurt, who just grinned at him, before smiling back at Carol, "It's great to meet you."

And then there was Burt. He walked into the room, arms crossed and looking like the tough dad that Blaine had imagined. Blaine gulped as he approached, but was taken completely off guard when Burt stepped forward and held out his hand, smiling. "Burt," He said, "It's great to meet you, kiddo."

"You too," Blaine replied, trying not to let his nerves show.

"Now after Kurt's last boyfriend, I'm not going to take kindly to liars and cheaters, you understand?" He said suddenly, his voice stern, causing Blaine to tense at the mention of Hayden. "But," Burt said, voice softening again, "We have head great things about you, and if Kurt's happy, we're happy."

Blaine smiled nervously at him, "I don't let you down."

It's almost two years later, when Blaine is even more nervous that he had been meeting Kurt's father for the first time.

"Alright, why are we at the lima bean without Kurt?" Rachel asked, looking at Blaine suspiciously as they sat down in the familiar coffee shop one summer afternoon. The three of them had each taken a week off work to fly back to Ohio to visit family for the weekend, and Blaine took the opportunity to do some shopping, per say.

"I actually wanted to ask you about something," Blaine said nervously, playing with a box in his hands under the table.

"I thought you'd never ask, Blaine Anderson," Rachel said jokingly and flipping her hair, "Of course I'll marry you."

Blaine gulped. "Well, actually…" And then he pulled the box out from under the table, opened it, and set it in front of Rachel.

"Oh my god, Blaine," She said breathlessly, picking up the box and examining the ring inside. It's just a simple gold band with raised edges – simple yet elegant, just like Kurt. "Blaine, it's beautiful. I mean not for me of course," She joked, "But Kurt, oh my god he's going to love it."

"You think?" Blaine asked, smiling nervously.

Rachel reached forward, taking one of Blaine's hands, "He will love it, Blaine. I promise. Almost as much as he loves you."

Rachel's words make Blaine's heart soar, but then he frowns, "Now I just have to ask Burt."

To Blaine's surprise, the talk with Burt went really, really well. It started with shaky hands and Blaine struggling to come up with the right words to explain how much he loves Kurt, until Burt stopped him and said, "Just get it out, Bud. What's going on?"

Finally, Blaine had managed to form the words, "I want to marry your son." With that, he was immediately enveloped in an unexpected hug. He returned the embrace, smiling because it was a good sign, and when Burt pulled away, he wiped a couple of tears off of his own face.

When he finally regained composure, he smiled and said, "Now you've got a ring right?"

Blaine nodded, pulled it out and received about the same reaction he had gotten from Rachel. "It's perfect, Blaine," Burt said, looking down at it and smiling.

It wasn't until they were back in New York a week later that Blaine mustered up to courage to ask Kurt.

He hadn't really planned out the way that it happened, but when it did, he couldn't help but think that things had come full circle. Kurt showed up at Blaine's apartment early on a Sunday morning to go get breakfast and go shopping with him, like they did every Sunday. Blaine grabbed his messenger bag like he always did, very aware that the little box was in there somewhere, and he decided that he would ask Kurt over dinner later that night.

What he didn't expect, though, was for Kurt to choose a certain coffee shop to get breakfast at.

"You want to eat here?" Blaine asked incredulously, looking into the all too familiar coffee shop that he had worked in for months.

"Yeah," Kurt said, smiling, "I miss coming here."

So sure enough, the two of them walked into the coffee shop. There was a new person working and they didn't recognize Kurt or Blaine, which was somewhat refreshing. They ordered their drinks – a nonfat mocha for Kurt and a medium drip for Blaine – and then they sat down in the usual spot that Kurt always sat at when Blaine would visit him while working.

"Brings you back, huh?" Kurt said, smiling warmly at the boy across from him.

"Yeah," Blaine said softly, looking around the store that he used to be so familiar with.

As Kurt grinned and sipped on his coffee, Blaine couldn't help but think this is perfect. This is the moment you've been waiting for. As soon as he thought it, his heart was pounding loud in his ears. He reached down into his bag and fished out the box, bringing it into his lap and toying with it while he watched Kurt.

"I've missed this place," Kurt mused, still looking around and Blaine just nodded in response. Kurt must have noticed the far away look in his eyes because then he was reaching across the table and grabbing Blaine's free hand, "Hey, are you okay?"

"Yeah," Blaine replied, smiling wide, "More than okay. Actually, there's kind of something I want to talk to you about."

Kurt's brows furrowed in confusion but he nodded, "Alright, what's up?"

"Well, it's just…" Blaine started, squeezing Kurt's hand, "I know we've only been dating for a little over two years, but I seriously feel like I've known you my whole life, Kurt. There isn't a day that I don't wish that you would have gone to school at Dalton, because then I would have met you sooner, but I'm so, so grateful that I have you in my life now. I love you so much…"

"Blaine, what are you trying to-" Kurt tried to ask, but he was cut off by Blaine setting a little black velvet box on the table.

He opened it before smiling warmly up at him, "I figured that since I didn't get to meet you sooner, the least I can do is ask you to spend the rest of your life with me. Will you marry me, Kurt?"

Kurt's hands immediately flew to his mouth and he took a second to regain his composure before grabbing the box and inspecting the ring. "It's beautiful, babe…" He whispered, staring at the gold band.

"Does that mean…?"

"Yes!" Kurt exclaimed, causing a couple of people in the coffee shop to look up at him, "Yes, yes of course." He leaned across the table quickly, almost spilling their drinks and kissed Blaine. "God, I love you so much," He mumbled against the other boy's lips.

It took almost a year and a lot of careful planning from Kurt, but finally, it was their wedding day.

Blaine was getting ready in a small room in a church and he and Kurt had hand picked when the door opened and Cooper walked in, wearing a tux and a bow tie and smiling from ear to ear. "You look handsome, B," He said, proud, as he shut the door behind himself.

"Thanks, Coop," He smiled up at his brother as he tied his own bow tie.

"Everyone is out there waiting for you two," He said softly, coming to stand next to Blaine in front of the mirror, "It really does look nice out there. Really tasteful. Kurt's good."

Blaine chuckled, "Well he has been planning his own wedding since middle school…"

"I wouldn't put it past him," Cooper joked in response. He had properly met Kurt a couple of times, once when he came to visit in New York for a week and again at their engagement party, and though he wanted to be the protective older brother he always was, he really liked Kurt, and he was glad that he made Blaine happy.

"Mom and dad…?" Blaine asked, glancing up at Cooper and wondering if their parents were there. Their mother had met Kurt and loved him and had long ago accepted her younger son for who he was, but their father was still a little weary about that. He hadn't shown up to the engagement party in the fall, and they hadn't talked since. Now it was May.

"They're both out there," Cooper said, smiling, "Mom is so proud."

The thought was almost enough to bring tears to Blaine's eyes as he looked up at his brother in the mirror, but his thoughts were cut short by the door opening.

"I know we're not really supposed to see eachother before the wedding, but since there's no bride, I figured it couldn't be bad luck," Kurt's voice floated lightly through the room and the two boys turned to see him standing in the doorway. He obviously wasn't ready yet – his white shirt was half unbuttoned, his blazer was sitting loosely on his shoulders and his tophat was in his hands – but he still looked perfect in Blaine's eyes. The outfit was something Kurt had designed himself and though he wasn't completely dressed yet, he already looked incredible.

"Wow," Blaine breathed, crossing the room, "You look… perfect."

"You do," Kurt breathed before closing the gap between them and kissing him softly.

Their moment was ruined, though, by Cooper clearing his throat on the other end of the room. Kurt's head shot up and he smiled warmly at the older Anderson. "Hey, Cooper, you look great."

Cooper smiled back and crossed the room to wrap Kurt in a hug, "You do too, Sport." He studied Kurt for a moment before grinning to himself and adding, "So you're not going to get cold feet are you? I'd hate to have to kick your ass for running out on my brother again."

Blaine's eyes immediately widened at the memory and he smacked him hard in the chest for bringing it up, "Shut up, Cooper!"

"I'm not. I promise," Kurt said, smiling and ignoring Blaine's reaction, "I love him way too much to leave again. So get used to having me as a brother-in-law."

Cooper chucked and clapped Kurt on the shoulder, "You'll make a great Anderson. Or Anderson-Hummel. Or whatever you crazy kids decide on."

Kurt smiled warmly, "Thank you, Cooper."

At that, the three of them were interrupted by the door opening again and Rachel's head poking in. When she saw Kurt, she gasped in horror and threw the door the rest of the way open. She was wearing a cute yellow summer dress and her hair was curled and perfect, though she looked pissed off. "Kurt! What do you think you're doing? You need to finish getting ready! And you're not supposed to see him before the wedding, you idiot!"

Kurt laughed at her outburst, "Alright, alright."

Rachel seemed to finally notice Blaine and Cooper and smiled in their direction, "You two look great." She then turned back to Kurt, "Come on. We have to go."

Though Rachel was practically dragging him across the room, Kurt leaned forward to kiss Blaine quickly and mumble, "See you on the other side."

It was about an hour later when the two boys were standing at the end of the isle, smiling warmly at eachother before saying "I do" and kissing in front of their friends and family.

It was quite a few more hours later before the two boys were laying in bed in some fancy hotel bed that Blaine's parents had kindly paid for.

"I can't believe it…" Kurt breathed out, breaking the comfortable silence that had fallen between the two of them after they had ordered room service. They were set to leave for their honeymoon the next morning and were spending the evening just relaxing.

"You can't believe what?" Blaine asked, turning to look at him lovingly.

Kurt reached forward to grab his hand. "That we made it this far," He replied softly, "I'm not going to lie… There was a point where I thought you were out of my life for good, Blaine. I can't believe I almost let myself miss this."

Blaine just smiled and squeezed his hand reassuringly, "I love you so much, Kurt."

"I love you too."
