With his fianc�'s approval, Kurt had sent the letter to Karofsky and unwittingly, friction had started up between the two as they waited for a response. It was tense and an uncomfortable atmosphere had fallen. Everyone had noticed the slight distance between them but hadn't commented, hoping that the two boys could sort it out.
"Hey," Kurt greeted softly. "Come join me?"
Blaine smiled and he clumsily slipped onto the hammock, rocking it wildly and Kurt clung to edges, afraid Blaine would flip him off and on to the ground. Blaine grinned triumphantly as the hammock stopped rocking and he was safely nestled into Kurt's side. Kurt immediately tangled their legs together, removing any space between them. He had missed Blaine's warmth and body, among other things. He always hated fighting and although he knew the feeling was mutual, both he and Blaine were fiercely proud and never wanted to be the first one to give in, even when they knew they were wrong. They'd hate it about each other if they didn't love it so much.
Blaine hummed happily and wrapped an arm around Kurt's waist and started drawing random patterns along his side. "What are you doing?" Blaine asked as Kurt laid his head on his shoulder.
"Looking for a picture of us," Kurt murmured, "Hopefully one to put on the wedding invitations."
Blaine smiled at this. Even though they were going through a rough spot, Kurt hadn't given up. Blaine had worried that he'd be the only one who was over-excited about the wedding but Kurt's enthusiasm warmed his heart. "Got any ideas yet?" Blaine asked, tracing a finger over the photo album that now rested across both of them.
"I can't decide whether to use an old or recent one of us," Kurt sighed. "What do you think?"
"Maybe one of when we were little," Blaine suggested. "You know, destined to be together at such a young age."
"That's so cheesy," Kurt snorted and Blaine grinned widely. "But I think you might be right."
"I know I'm right," Blaine retorted, leaning across to kiss Kurt's cheek, watching as a rosy hue flooded his fianc�'s face, though he didn't comment. A comfortable silence fell over the two of them as Kurt flipped to the front of the photo album where the pictures of them as children were.
They looked over each of them, careful not to get fingerprints on the photos, and both grinned as they saw the picture of them when they were six, arms wrapped around each other, smiling brightly at their first day of school.
"That's the one," Blaine affirmed, tapping the picture.
"I agree," Kurt said and turned his head, capturing Blaine's lips with his. Kurt kissed him slowly and sweetly. He hadn't realized how much he missed Blaine's lips on his, missed his touch. He hated fighting with Blaine. Kurt pulled away and leant his forehead against Blaine's, turning his body so he was resting on his side.
"Do you remember the first time we said 'I love you'?" Kurt asked and Blaine's smile was blinding.

Kurt and Blaine's one year anniversary was approaching and Blaine wanted it to be special and romantic for his boyfriend. Kurt was a romantic at heart and Blaine wasn't very good at that particular aspect of the relationship so he really needed help. Blaine went in search of his mum and found her typing away at her laptop.
"Mum?" Blaine asked and Annie turned, looking over her shoulder and smiling.
"Hey sweetie," Annie greeted, turning back to her laptop. "What's up?"
"I need your help," Blaine said, walking over to her and falling into the seat beside her.
"Homework?" Annie asked, not looking up from her work.
"No, romance," Blaine said and Annie raised her eyebrows, turning to look at Blaine.
"Romance?" Annie echoed, looking amused.
"Tomorrow is Kurt and mines one year anniversary of being boyfriends," Blaine explained, blushing slightly. "I want to something romantic for him but I'm not very good at it."
"I have the perfect idea," Annie beamed.
Kurt knocked on the Anderson's home, shifting about as he waited. Blaine had called him and asked him to come over and watch a movie. Kurt had been hurt, thinking that Blaine had forgotten that it was their anniversary. Kurt had been dropping hints all week but now he was thinking that Blaine hadn't picked them up. He'd always been adorably oblivious and it would annoy Kurt if he didn't find it so endearing.
The door opened and Edward was standing on the other side, smiling. "Hey Kurt, come on in," Edward grinned and Kurt stepped inside.
"Where's Blaine?" Kurt asked as he followed Edward into the house. Edward just grinned smugly and led Kurt out to the back yard. Kurt gasped at what he saw. Fairy lights covered the fences and the tree in the garden. Blaine was standing on a picnic rug, hands behind his back.
"Have fun," Edward beamed, patting Kurt on the shoulder and giving him a little push towards his son.
"Happy anniversary," Blaine beamed as Kurt approached him and pulled out a small box.
"Blaine," Kurt breathed, "You did all this for me?"
"It's our anniversary," Blaine grinned. "It needed to be special. You thought I had forgotten." Kurt blushed and shrugged. Blaine chuckled and pulled Kurt into a kiss. "Come sit down," Blaine said and they fell to their knees, getting comfortable. "Open your gift."
Kurt chuckled and eagerly opened the box. He gasped and pulled out the present. It was the new Marc Jacobs jacket he had been admiring weeks ago but was out of his price range. "Blaine!" Kurt squealed and launched himself at Blaine, kissing him deeply.
"Glad you like it," Blaine pulled away, breathless.
"I have something for you too," Kurt beamed and rummaged through his messenger bag, pulling out an envelope and handing it to Blaine. Blaine grinned giddily and carefully opened the envelope, pulling out two tickets. His eyes widened as he saw what was written on them.
"Two tickets to Katy Perry?" Blaine yelped and tackled Kurt to the ground, placing kisses all over his face. Kurt giggled and swatted at Blaine, trying half-heartedly to push him away.
Blaine pulled back, still lying on Kurt and stared at him with an adoring smile. "I love you," Blaine smiled and Kurt's breath hitched.
"I love you, too," Kurt smiled and leant up to kiss Blaine.
~*~
Kurt smiled down at Blaine who beamed right back. "I miss you," Blaine murmured, stroking Kurt's cheek. "Can we not fight anymore?"
"Deal," Kurt said, pressing his lips lightly to Blaine's. "I missed you too."
Blaine hugged him tightly and Kurt nestled into his fianc�'s neck.
"You know, that wasn't the first time we said 'I love you'," Kurt murmured against Blaine's skin.
"It wasn't?" Blaine frowned.
"Nope," Kurt grinned, pooping the 'p'.

Elizabeth and Annie watched from the table as Kurt and Blaine sang along to 'Kiss the Girl' from the Disney movie The Little Mermaid. When the song ended both of them giggled and went back to the colouring books that were lying in front of them.
"Blaine," Kurt gasped suddenly and the curly haired boy looked up.
"What it is?" Blaine frowned adorably.
"You look like Prince Eric! You're a prince!" Kurt gasped, staring at Blaine with awe.
Blaine beamed. "You look like one of the fairies in Fern Gully. We can both be Disney characters."
"But I don't want to marry a Princess," Kurt frowned, scrunching his nose and Blaine looked thoughtful.
"You don't have to if you don't want to," Blaine told him, pointedly.
"I don't?" Kurt asked, eyes hopeful and Blaine shook his head.
"No, I don't want to marry a princess. I want to marry Aladdin," Blaine beamed.
Kurt didn't voice his wish to marry Prince Eric from the Little Mermaid, worried that Blaine would ask why. "We can still be friends though, can't we?"
"Of course," Blaine assured him. "I'm the prince, I can do whatever I want and I say that you will always be my best friend."
Kurt beamed and wrapped his little arms around Blaine's neck, catching the other boy off guard. "I love you, Blaine," Kurt said, voice muffled in Blaine's shirt. Blaine grinned and hugged Kurt back tightly.
Blaine beamed. "I love you, too, Kurt."
Annie and Elizabeth smiled at their two sons and leant their heads together.
The two boys pulled away, grinning. "Come on, our books need colouring," Blaine declared and pushed the blue crayon towards Kurt, who gaped at it.
"But, Blaine, the blue one's your favourite," Kurt tried to refuse, but Blaine insisted.
"And you're my favourite person," Blaine said, "so you should have it."
Kurt flushed and tried to hide his smile in his colouring book, but Blaine saw. He vowed that he'd always do his best to make Kurt smile.
~*~
Blaine chuckled and stroked Kurt's cheek. "I remember that. See, I told you that we were destined to be together."
Kurt chuckled and pressed his lips back to Blaine's, cupping his cheek and deepening the kiss, his tongue lazily sweeping against Blaine's.
Annie smiled at her two boys and turned away from the kitchen window. She was glad the two of them had worked things out. They deserved the happiness that they brought each other, having survived everything that had been thrown their way.
Blaine had filled her in on everything that had caused them to be in the fight to begin with; the letter from Karofsky and wanting to meet him. Annie was concerned with this and didn't want Kurt to meet with the boy but it wasn't up to her; it was up to Kurt. She often wondered what it would be like if Elizabeth was still here. Kurt was like a son to her, just as Blaine had been like a son to Elizabeth. She just hoped that Kurt made the right decision so that they could move on with this chapter of their lives; Burt didn't need any more stress in his life.
Blaine moved Kurt so he was now lying on Blaine, the photo album discarded. Blaine's hands travelled down Kurt's side and rested on his hips. He squeezed them tightly and Kurt rocked down against him, tangling a hand into Blaine's curls. Blaine moved his hands from Kurt's hips and slid them into Kurt's back pockets, squeezing his ass through the thin fabric of his jeans. Kurt moaned, rocking back down onto Blaine, the hammock swinging with their movements.
Kurt pulled back slightly to breathe and started kissing the sensitive bit on Blaine's neck, sucking a hickey there, nipping lightly and soothing it with his tongue. Blaine's eyes rolled back at the feeling of his fianc�s talented tongue and he squeezed Kurt's ass again. Kurt moaned into Blaine's neck, vibrations tingling through his body.
Both pulled back, panting hard and staring at each other. Both tried to gain control of themselves, not wanting to get too carried away in the back yard. They would save that for later on that night when Annie and Edward were out for dinner.
Kurt rolled himself so he was not longer on Blaine but tucked into his side. "I love you," Blaine said softly, running a hand through Kurt's hair.
"Love you too," Kurt smiled and ran a hand down Blaine's chest. Blaine rummaged for the photo album again flipped it open and the two of them went back to looking at their photos, each depicting a special moment in their lives. They both knew they had plenty more to come.
