"Let's go it's my show, baby, do what I say
Don't trip off the glitz that I'm gonna display
I told you, Imma hold ya down until you're amazed
Give it to ya til you're screamin' my name!"
Kurt sang as he washed his hair.
Blaine woke to Kurt's angelic voice. He had missed that peaceful sound. Blaine lies in bed, smiling as he listens to Kurt.
"No escaping when I start,
Once I'm in I own your heart,
There's no way to ring the alarm, So hold on until it's over!
Oh!"
Kurt sang, dancing around the tub and sporting a shampoo Mohawk.
Blaine really had to pee so he walked into the bathroom. "Morning beauti..." He stops when he sees Kurt. "And you always call me ridiculous when I put your hair in a Mohawk," Blaine says, smiling.
Kurt quickly slicks his hair down."I have no idea what you're talking about." Kurt said, looking at his boyfriend through the glass of the shower door. He started to rinse his hair out.
"Admit it. It’s fun" Blaine encourages as he washes his hands.
Kurt just rolls his eyes as he steps out of the shower and wraps a towel around his waist before walking to the mirror and grabbing his moisturizer.
Kurt will never admit it, but he can be as much of a kid as Blaine sometimes. He loved that about him. Blaine walks over, putting his hands on Kurt's hips and kissing his beautiful neck.
"Good morning to you too," Kurt giggles, as he rubs some of the moisturizer into his skin and then sighs happily at the feeling of his boyfriend lips on his neck.
Blaine grins against Kurt's soft skin. "You're so beautiful," he says. "Umm, did you have anything in mind for today?"
"I don't…" Kurt said, rubbing the moisturizer vigorously into his skin."But you do..." He said looking at Blaine in the mirror.
"Do I?" Blaine asks, his eyes going wide. He did have plans but Kurt wasn't supposed to know...
"I organized a meeting for you with a friend of mine at Rina's Cafe. She wants you to come play for her and she said she might give you a gig every other weekend." Kurt said applying toner.
'Oh, thank God!' Blaine thinks. "Sounds good. I don't know what to sing. It's so short notice. Any suggestions?"
"I'm sure you'll think of something…" Kurt says as he goes to get changed.
"I think I have an idea," Blaine says. "Will you be there as well?"
"If you want me to be…" Kurt called from the closet.
Blaine goes to find something to wear. "It's up to you. I have some stuff to take care of afterwards though."
"It's fine. I was planning on watching something tonight anyway. Do you want me to pick up dinner on the way home?" He asked, slipping on Black jeans and a white V-neck. He felt like bumming it today. He went to the bathroom to start working on his hair.
"Yeah, that would be great. What time do I need to be at the cafe?" Blaine asks, looking up at his boyfriend.
"About three." Kurt said, combing his hair and spraying it thoroughly with hairspray.
"That's perfect. So I'll probably be home around six..." Blaine replies
"Alright, dinner will be ready when you get home." Kurt said cheerfully, putting the finishing touches on his hair before turning to his boyfriend and kissing him softly.
"Can't wait," Blaine says smiling. He has a feeling today is going to be a great day.
They head to Rina's about three and Blaine follows Kurt inside the empty cafe. Kurt walks up to a tall Hispanic girl and hugs her tightly.
"Rina this is my boyfriend, Blaine." He said gesturing towards Blaine.
"Ay Papi! He's cute!" Rina said in a heavy accent, slapping Kurt's arm playfully.
"No no... He's mine." Kurt laughed."Blaine this is Rina." Kurt giggled as Rina did a little spin and held out her hand to Blaine.
Blaine blushes at Rina's comment. He reaches out and shakes her hand. "It's a pleasure to meet you," Blaine says, smiling.
"Ooh! Kurt iz like you have a leetle gay preence charmeeng!" Rina laughed loudly. Kurt couldn't help but laugh as well.
"Yep, and I love him for it." He said looking endearingly at Blaine.
"So Blaine, what are joo going to sing for me today honee?" Rina said smiling at Blaine.
Blaine's face reddens even more. He glanes at Kurt before saying, "First Time by Lifehouse."
Kurt smiles.
"Whell, just go ahead whenever you are ready hunee.." Rina said as she and Kurt went to go sit at a table, leaving the stage to Blaine.
"We're both looking for something we've been afraid to find.
It's easier to be broken.
It's easier to hide.
Looking at you, holding my breath.
For once in my life,I'm scared to death.
I'm taking a chance, letting you inside." Blaine stares intently into Kurt's eyes.
"Feeling alive all over again.
As deep as the sky, under my skin.
Like being in love, she says
For the first time.
Maybe I'm wrong,
But I'm feeling right where I belong with you tonight.
Like being in love to feel for the first time." Blaine continues to sing
Tears filled Kurt's eyes as he and Rina stood to clap enthusiastically. Rina called out a few words in Spanish that Kurt assumed were positive.
Blaine smiled. That felt so good. He forgot how much he loved to perform.
After Blaine's performance he and Kurt negotiated the nights he would come play with Rina. Kurt and Blaine walked into the parking lot. "Do you want me to take a cab home so you can go do your thing?" Kurt asked.
"No, you can take the car." Blaine says, leaning in to kiss Kurt
Kurt kissed his boyfriend. "Well where are you going?" Kurt asked worriedly.
Blaine looks away from Kurt. "Oh, I got a call from the college. They just wanted to go over a couple last minute things."
"Alright... Kurt said, kissing Blaine once more. "I love you." He said getting in the car and driving back to the apartment.
"I love you too," Blaine says, watching as Kurt drives away. He hates lying to Kurt. But it has to be done.
Kurt made it home and made lasagna. He popped it in the oven before plopping down on the couch to watch the news anxiously.
Blaine goes to Tiffany's. He searches for the perfect engagement ring. This has to be perfect. But there's so many to choose from. He hadn't told Kurt, but Blaine had been saving up for this since high school.
Kurt watches the TV with a pillow clutched to his chest, anxiously awaiting the news he was waiting for.
Blaine looks at his phone. It's 5:30. He has to hurry. When he looks back up, something catches his eye. This is it. Blaine's eyes start to water. He has to get this ring.
Kurt's eyes start to water as the news drew closer.
Blaine buys the ring and rushes back to the apartment.
Kurt is in tears, he's never been happier in his life as the news report concludes. He lets out an exited squeal as joyful tears flow down his cheeks.
Blaine walks through the door, but stops when he sees Kurt's tears. He runs towards him, throwing his arms around Kurt. "Baby, what's wrong? Are you okay?"
"I'm perfect..." He says, his body shivering."I've actually never been happier…" Kurt said laughing, with tears streaming down his cheeks.
Blaine is confused. "I don't understand," He says, trying to read Kurt's face.
"Blaine...they just legalized gay marriage in New York..." Kurt said, grabbing Blaine's hands.
Blaine's eyes go as wide as possible. He has the biggest smile spread across his face. He pulls Kurt in, holding him tight. "Kurt..." He says, starting to weep.
"I love you so much," Kurt says as Blaine holds him."I can't believe it..." Kurt sobbed.
"Me neither...I love you too," Blaine replies. "Kurt...I was going to wait...I wanted to do this right...Properly...But I can't wait...I lied earlier...I wasn't at the school today." Blaine starts to get nervous.
Kurt just looks up a Blaine with bloodshot eyes."Where were you?"
Blaine has tears in his eyes. He tries to hold them back, but it’s too hard. Blaine kneels down on one knee, taking Kurt's hand. "I was downtown. Kurt Elizabeth Hummel, I love you. I can't picture a life without you. I couldn't exist without you. I want and need to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you please marry me?" Blaine pulls out a little box from his pocket. It's a little blue box...from Tiffany's!
Kurt's hands fly over his mouth and he tries to hold back a sob."Blaine, Blaine, are you sure I don't want YOU regretting this because we're so young and I just need to shut up now YES! YES! Of course I'll marry you! Kurt said sliding off the sofa and kissing Blaine passionately.
Blaine smiles, kissing him back. When Kurt opens the box, He starts crying. On one side, the ring says “Tiffany & Co” and on the other side, it reads, “I love you.” http://www.tiffany.com/shared/media/products/27070221_l_over_1.jpg
Kurt starts sobbing as soon as he sees the ring and Blaine replaces the old promise ring on Kurt's finger with the engagement ring."Blaine...Blaine..." Kurt sobs before kissing his fianc� passionately again.
Blaine pulls Kurt closer. "I had this whole thing planned out. It was going to be perfect. But I don't even care. I love you so much, Kurt." Blaine says, crying
"This was perfect Blaine...So...so…perfect." He says in between kisses."I love you so much Blaine."
"I'm so happy, Kurt," Blaine says, trying to calm down.
"Me too..." Kurt says, unable to stop kissing Blaine, cupping his face with shaky hands.
"You're so beautiful, baby. I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you," Blaine sobs
"Forever," Kurt says shakily.
