Summary: Anniversaries have always mattered in the Anderson-Hummel household and their wedding anniversaries are going to be no different. Future! Klaine.

Enjoy The Story!

Blaine knew that first year wedding anniversary gifts are traditionally made of paper. But, of course he had to think. What could he make out of paper that would express how his and Kurt's love needed looking after so it could grow and live on. Only Blaine could hear his own thoughts bouncing around in his head, criticizing him.

Paper, Blaine! Really? How is paper going to impress Kurt? What kind of gift is that?

Blaine knew he was thinking too hard about what he was going to make Kurt when the sheets of printer paper he had in front of him nearly ended up being turned into confetti. He needed to relax and just not think. So, for the next ten minutes he just let his hands fold the small pieces of paper in front of him, calming him in a way his older brother Cooper has expressed to him before. Blaine remembered his brother words.

" Blainers, stressing over something always causes damages somehow, because we, as humans tend to over analyze things. So, the only way to avoid such damage that is made by daily stress is to keep your hands busy with whatever you have in front you."

" How could keeping my hands busy help me relax?" Blaine had asked sarcastically.

Cooper looked around, his eyes spotting something that he could use as an example. " With this little brother."

Blaine raised an eyebrow. " That's a torn sheet of paper, Cooper. How is a sheet of paper going to keep me busy? Do you want me to write out my thoughts? Because I think that would just make me analyze things a lot more."

" Nope. I don't want you to write out your thoughts because this piece of paper is so much more than you think."

" Well, right now. I'm just thinking it's a piece of paper and that you're crazy."

Cooper chuckled. " Then little brother you are about to be pleasantly surprised, because paper comes in so many ways. All you have to do is fold the paper until you make something."

And Cooper was right. All Blaine had to do when he was younger was not think and just fold paper and he could instantly calm himself. He was always good at making one thing though, Blaine only hoped that Kurt would like it, them.

----Klaine----

Something Blaine had read the day he searched the internet for Wedding Anniversary Gifts, stuck with him. It was something he understood and had agreed with once he saw what the meaning of the first gift was. He understood that paper represents the fragility of love and how it is easy to break and in some cases it's thrown away without another thought. And that it is our reminder that love needs looking after.

Blaine only hoped that Kurt understood his gift the same way he meant it, that their love could be torn or ripped away and that they needed to look after it, cherish it.

With his gifts visible and scattered all over their bedroom, he sat on their bed holding one of the paper gifts in one palm and waited for his husband to come home.

When he heard the door open and his husbands voice calling out to him that he was home, Blaine placed his other palm carefully over the gift in his hand.

" I'm in the bedroom, Kurt." Blaine called out, hearing the soft footfalls of his husband's feet against the wooden floors made Blaine smile. He'd never get tired of hearing his Kurt walking towards him.

The bedroom door was pushed opened slowly and in walked Kurt soon enough and gasped at the sight before him.

" Blaine?"

Blaine stood from his place on the bed and walked towards his husband with a smile on his face and his palms now open to his husband.

" Happy Anniversary."

" Blaine? Are all of these...."

" Paper Cranes, yes."

" This must have taken you forever. How many are there?" Kurt asked, his eyes glistening. Blaine took Kurt's hand and placed the paper crane onto it.

" Since I found out that the first year anniversary gift is suppose to be made out of paper. I made these for you, for us. There are one thousand paper cranes scattered all around our bedroom and right now I'm wishing for us to have long lives together."

Kurt leaned down and quickly pressed a soft, passionate kiss to Blaine's lips before pulling back to say.

" I love you, Blaine Anderson-Hummel. Happy Anniversary."
