Kurt leaned over the couch where Blaine was sitting and scribbling some lyrics on a tiny note book.
“What have you been writing, baby,” Kurt asked as he tried to take a peak over his shoulder.
Blaine immediately closed the book and looked at him with wide eyes. It had been the same fashion over and over again for the past few weeks and it somehow got Kurt nervous.
“Nothing love, just some lyrics,” Blaine said in a fast manner.
Kurt rolled his eyes, “if I can't know than just say it.” With that he stomped back towards the kitchen.
Blaine let out a sigh as he read over the words he had written on his tiny note book.
Maybe he needed to be a bit more careful with this one when he was around Kurt. He really didn't want him to find it.
He let out a sigh as he heard Kurt on the phone, probably with his dad, and whining about how something was up.
Blaine let his hand go over his face. A few more days and all the trouble would be over and Kurt wouldn't be mad again everything he would find Blaine writing something he couldn't read.
He just had to wait a little longer. It would all be worth it.
Blaine was standing backstage at the Coachella festival. It had always been his dream to perform a least once at such a big festival.
And here he was, finally standing at the backstage. He almost couldn't believe it.
It was later in the evening, the sky had already turned dark and the stars were up the sky as Blaine made his way towards the hidden space behind the stage.
Kurt followed behind him, wearing his cargo shorts and a tight tank top that showed off the beautiful muscles he had gained through the past years.
Blaine smiled softly towards him as they peaked behind the corner to watch the crowd.
“Is it weird that I've lived to this moment for forever and I'm still nervous as hell,” Blaine asked as he leaned back and wrapped his arms around Kurt's waist.
“No it's not. I would be nervous as well if I were you,” Kurt smirked.
Blaine slapped him playfully on the chest, “that's no way of comforting me.”
“You'll do great baby. I'll be standing in the crowd cheering you on. You better don't let me down,” he added as he leaned forward until their lips were touching each other in the middle.
Blaine let out a sigh and let himself fall into the kiss, slowly moving his lips against Kurt's, trying to remember it as he felt the nerves settle in again. This time for a very different reason.
Kurt let go of him and smiled softly towards him, “break a leg baby. I love you.”
Blaine smiled back towards him and waved a bit, “I love you too love. Maybe I'll even sing a song for you.”
He watched Kurt walk away until he was out of view. His manager, Layla, walked towards him with a huge smile on his face. “You ready for your big spectacle tonight, Blaine?”
Blaine nodded, “yeah. Let's hope this go well.”
Layla started giggling, “I'm sure it will or I wouldn't have approved. Everything is ready and set for you. Don't be nervous, don't mess up and don't forget about me,” she added with a wink as she made her way after Kurt, following him into the crowd to watch the show together.
Blaine shook his head as he chuckled, knowing there was no way out of this.
With one last deep sigh, he took his guitar from the stands and made his way on the huge stage as he started playing an edgy beat on his guitar.
“Are you guys ready,” he shouted through the microphone.
The crowd started cheering him on as some girls in the front were blushing and waving towards him.
Blaine waved back as he looked over the crowd until his eyes locked with Kurt's before he breathed in deeply once more and started playing his set.
Blaine took another sip from his bottle after he had sang his last song, ready to make his way off the stage as the crowd started asking for one more song.
Blaine smiled widely as he watched a piano was rolled onto the stage instead of the keyboard that normally took the place.
He made his way back to the microphone with a grin as he took it out of its stand.
“You guys didn't think I was ready to end the night, did you,” he asked playfully as some people started shouting by his words. “I actually have one more thing planned for the night.”
He took a seat behind the piano, which was strategically placed in the right direction towards Kurt.
He put the microphone in the lower stand and started touching the keys softly.
“Tonight I want a song I've been writing for the past few weeks as a kind of secret project. I'm sure my boyfriend will be relieved that he will finally be able to hear it,” he added a bit cheeky.
The crowd started cheering as they looked around for Kurt in the crowd. Blaine's eyes were already on him as he looked at him a bit curiously while a small smile played on his lips.
“So tonight you all get a little scoop. I hope you guys like it! Kurt, this one if for you,” Blaine added as he started playing the soft melody.
He kept his eyes trained on Kurt as he started to sing the words very softly in the microphone.
When your legs don't work like they used to before
And I can't sweep you off of your feet
Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love?
Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks?
He watched Kurt smile widely towards him as he started blinking his eyes a bit more than he usually would. Blaine smiled softly, knowing there were happy tears on their way.
And, darling, I will be loving you ‘til we're 70
And, baby, my heart could still fall as hard at 23
And I'm thinking bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe just the touch of a hand
He smiled softly as the words left his lips. Remembering how they met on the Dalton staircase and how Kurt had always told him at those times how love didn't get any sexier than the touch of fingertips.
Well, me—I fall in love with you every single day
And I just wanna tell you I am
So, honey, now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
Maybe we found love right where we are
Blaine watched the tears slowly fall from Kurt's eyes as he looked at him in aww. Blaine just kept on looking towards him as he started singing the next verse.
When my hair's all but gone and my memory fades
And the crowds don't remember my name
When my hands don't play the strings the same way (mmm…)
I know you will still love me the same
Cause, honey, your soul could never grow old, it's evergreen
And, baby, your smile's forever in my mind and memory
I'm thinking bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe it's all part of a plan
Well, I'll just keep on making the same mistakes
Hoping that you'll understand
That, baby, now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
Thinking out loud
Maybe we found love right where we are (oh, oh)
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, lo-ud
So, baby, now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Oh, darling, place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
But maybe we found love right where we are
Oh, baby, we found love right where we are
And we found love right where we are
Blaine smiled softly towards Kurt as the crowd started applauding, the music slowly leaving the venue.
Blaine took in one last deep breath as he made his way towards the very side of the stage, where Kurt was standing with Layla almost against the stage in the VIP segment.
Blaine crouched down on his knees as he held the microphone back against his lips.
“Kurt, I know I've made you nuts the past few weeks going all behind your back, keeping things from you. But you must believe I had a very good reason,” Blaine started as he started going through his pants pockets.
He took out the black small box as he instead crouched down on one knee. He heard a few gasps through the crowd and he was sure if he looked to the side, that there would be tons of camera's pointing towards him but in that moment he didn't care. This was their moment.
“Today it's exactly day to day 10 years ago that I was running towards a warbler rehearsal. I was terribly late and there was this way too cute guy tapping me on my shoulder asking where I was running, trying to convince me he was a new student. So I took his hand and started leading him through what he thought was a shortcut, although he learned not long afterwards himself that it was by no way a shortcut,” Blaine said getting a little emotionally.
He watched Kurt chuckle like some other people in the crowd as he wiped a tear away.
“We learned are way of being us ever since that day from being people who knew each other to friends to being best friends and eventually lovers. The road didn't come without any bumps but we conquered all of them in our own way. So today I want to ask you, Kurt Hummel, as love of my life if you would do me the honor to keep on growing and become my husband because I honestly can't imagine a better way than spending my life with you.”
Kurt looked at him still with wide eyes as he wiped away another tear, nodding his head as he started making his way towards the front of the vip segment and was let through by the security.
Blaine smiled widely as he watched Kurt come closer and wiped discretely his own tear away.
It didn't take Kurt too long before he was standing in front of Blaine, a little out of breath as tears still made their way over his cheeks.
“So is that a yes,” Blaine asked just to make sure as he put the microphone on the ground.
Kurt whispered a quiet yes as he stood on his tiptoes and watched Blaine lean down to press his lips against Blaine's.
It was when they noticed the flashes and the crowd going nuts that Blaine let go with a soft smile.
He took the microphone back in his hand and made a sign to Kurt that he should make his way backstage.
Kurt nodded his head as Blaine thanked the crowd for joining him tonight and saying he hoped he would see them again soon.
He made his way backstage fast to see Kurt already waiting for him.
Blaine wrapped him into a tight hug before he took Kurt's hand and put the ring on his finger. When it was neatly in placed, he pressed a kiss against it.
“I love you, Kurt Hummel,” he whispered as he trapped Kurt's hand against his chest, right over his heart.
“I love you too Blaine Anderson,” Kurt whispered back as he pressed a kiss against his lips.
Blaine let out a chuckle that had been bubbling in his chest ever since Blaine had said yes.
“So does this mean I'm forgiven for the past few weeks,” he asked with a soft smile as he watched Kurt let out a long laugh.
“Yes you are. Now you better take me home so we can celebrate,” he added with a cheeky wink as he started walking towards the parking lot for artist.
Blaine watched Layla just sign him to go before he started running behind Kurt. They had a whole lot of celebrating to do!
