There are times, over the years, that Kurt finds his heart skip a beat before speeding up.
The first time he sees Prince Charming on his TV.
The first time he performs a series of moves while practicing ballet and makes no mistakes.
The day his mother dies and again on the day shes laid to rest.
The first day of middle school and then, when thats a disaster, the first day of high school, hoping it will be better.
(Its not.)
When he tells his father hes gay.
When Finn looks at him.
The entire week his father lay in a coma, up until he wakes up.
When he walks down the stairs at an unfamiliar school, trying to blend in with the crowd rushing past him. At first he thinks its just the adrenaline of spying, but later, he thinks, its because his soul knew.
When Blaine leans over and kisses him the first time.
When Blaine asks him to dance at the prom, despite what has happened to him in the past.
When Blaine tells him he loves him.
When Blaine proposes, singing his love on the staircase where they met.
The day they got married and he caught Blaines eye while they walked down opposite aisle to each other.
There are so many moments with Blaine that it happens that he can hardly count them all, but every so often, it happens in a small moment, at the oddest time. As he watches Blaine stretch up to nudge the star on top of the tree so its just so, Kurts breath catches, his heart skips a beat before thumping rapidly in his chest.
And Kurt feels himself fall that much more in love with Blaine.
