Blaine opened his locker to find yet another coffee and a post it note with Kurt's handwriting on it. This one said 'I love feeling your heartbeat. -K'
Putting the post it note next to the others, Blaine wondered where all of this had come from. Kurt hadn't really talked to him yet, but Blaine decided to just see what Kurt was planning.
Rachel appeared and smiled, "Hi, so I was thinking we should definitely go over those moves for Nationals again since I saw you struggling on Friday."
Blaine rolled his eyes, "Rachel you were giving Finn heart eyes the entire time I doubt you saw my steps." He took a drink of his coffee and shut the locker door. He thought it was odd that she hasn't mentioned anything about Kurt.
"Why are you staring at me like that?" Rachel asked him.
"I don't know," Blaine shrugged, "Would you happen to know anything about these post it notes and coffee?"
Rachel tried hard to pretend as if she had no clue, but Blaine could see it all over her face, "No. Why would I know anything about that?"
"Oh I don't know," Blaine said to her, "I know you talked to him."
Rachel then reached out and touched Blaine's arm, "Come on you need some happy talk. How was your vacation with your parents?"
"Amazing," Blaine said to her, "I have loads to tell you and then you get to spill on this party that apparently happened while I was gone."
"Oh there isn't much to tell about that," Rachel waved her hand, "I want to hear all about your trip."
Blaine glanced over at Rachel knowing there was more to the story, but he dropped it and told her all about his vacation. She listened intently as he talked which really meant she knew something.
Something that caught Blaine's interest was during the day there were post it notes finding there way everywhere around him. They were on his seat in class, where he sat at lunch, his chair in Glee, and he even found some in his books.
Blaine wanted to talk Kurt. He thought maybe it was time, but he wondered what Kurt was doing with all of these post it notes. After his vacation with his parents, he kept thinking about the future. This was his time to think though, that's what he told Kurt. He hoped Kurt was thinking too.
Rachel walked up to Kurt on Tuesday. He was hiding behind the wall and watching as Blaine took out the coffee from his locker. "This is your brilliant plan?"
Kurt jumped and turned around to see her, "What are you talking about?"
"Look the post it notes are cute, but when you are going to do your grand gesture?" Rachel said to him. "I mean he really needs to know that you love him."
Rolling his eyes, Kurt just looked at her, "I don't know what you mean."
"He wrote you that later before and you drove all the way to New York," Rachel nodded her head, "I'm not sure how you can top that."
"Are you trying to get guilt me to sing to him again?" Kurt asked her as they started walking down the hall.
Rachel pulled on his arm, "But it would be amazing and romantic. You will spend hours thinking of the perfect song and then choosing where you sing to him, it is just the thing to do."
"I think I'll stick to my plan," Kurt said.
"No," Rachel stopped them, "By the time you actually talk to him, it will be the end of your senior year of college. You need to do something soon."
"Why soon?" Kurt asked her, "Do you know something that I don't?"
Rachel shook her head, "I just meant with everything coming up in the end of the year. Just think about what I said some more."
"Fine, will you just leave me," Kurt said pushing her away slightly.
"Alright," Rachel smiled, "I have to say you are all cute being flustered about this though."
Santana walked up to them at that moment, "Berry," she nodded in her direction and then turned to Kurt, "You are wanted by Coach Sylvester."
"Why?" Kurt asked her, "We're done."
"I don't know," Santana shrugged, "She needed you and Quinn."
"Fine," Kurt groaned and turned to Rachel, "And you just leave it. It will happen." He walked off and went to Coach Sylvester's office. When he walked in, he saw Quinn sitting in one of the chairs.
"Porcelain have a seat next to Q," Sue said to him as she was polishing off the trophy they had won recently. She turned to them, "So you are both seniors now. I wanted you to have these."
Quinn and Kurt looked at one another as they took the boxes that Coach Sylvester held out to them. They both opened them at the same time. "These are our uniforms," Quinn said.
"I know," Sue said to them.
Kurt pulled out his uniform and he saw something sitting on the left side of the shirt near the sleeve was his name, well Porcelain as the Coach has always called him, and in smaller letters the word Captain. Quinn must have finally spotted it as well.
Kurt couldn't help but smile, "Thanks s--"
"You're welcome, now never tell anyone I didn't do anything for you," Coach Sylvester said interrupting him, "Now out of my office I need to work on the roster for next year."
Quinn and Kurt both stood and walked out of the office holding their boxes. "She really knew what she was doing all these years," Quinn said with a laugh.
"I wouldn't expect anything less," Kurt smiled.
Quinn bumped their shoulders together, "What is that you want Kurt? I can see it in your eyes."
Kurt sighed, "I think there is only one person who can help me with this one."
"Well just holler," Quinn said to him, "And just to let you know I was proud to be a co-captain with you."
"Sure Q," Kurt said rolling his eyes, "You just keep telling yourself that."
Quinn laughed and kissed him on the cheek before she walked off.
Kurt knew what was next, he didn't want to do it, but he had to. He walked right up to Rachel Berry and she just looked at him knowing what he was going to ask. She gave him a hug and then they both began to hatch their plan.
The plan took four days, mostly because Kurt couldn't do anything after school because he was grounded from the party he threw. He should have known his dad would find out, but he accepted the punishment. They had to work during school hours and sometimes it was tricky to make sure Blaine didn't find out anything.
When it was finally Friday, Kurt was nervous. He was dressed in his favorite outfit that Blaine loved him in. It was just his simple long sleeved grey shirt, with his black vest on top and a brooch Blaine had given him resting over his heart. He added his skinny blue jeans and his black boots that went up his calf resting below his knees.
Kurt shook his hands out and Rachel couldn't help but laugh at him. "Oh honey you need to calm down."
"I am about to do the dumbest things I have ever done," Kurt said to her.
Santana patted his shoulder, "No, the dumbest thing you have ever done is something you haven't done yet."
Kurt growled at her, "Thanks Satan."
Brittany took his hand, "Don't worry Kurt, you will be with your unicorn again."
"Thank you Brit," Kurt smiled at her. "How do you do this?" he said turning to Rachel as he jumped up and down trying to calm his nerves.
Finn smiled at Kurt, "You know you don't have to do this." He knew exactly what Kurt was going to say, but he just wanted to let his brother know he was there.
"Yes I do," Kurt said with determination. "I have to do something or else neither one of us will do anything. I can't lose him. Never again."
"Awesome dude," Finn said slapping him on the back.
"Then go get him," Mercedes said giving Kurt a push.
Kurt peeked out the door and Blaine was now walking out into the outdoor patio where they usually ate lunch at. Blaine walked over to the table and saw the rose sitting there with another post it note telling him to sit down and wait for a surprise.
"Ready?" Rachel asked him.
"Not quite," Kurt said with a smile. Suddenly turning the corner, the Warblers were walking down the hall.
Wes walked up to the front and smiled at Kurt, "So you rang?" The rest of the Warblers were smiling happily as they have been since Kurt called asking for their help.
Kurt gave a nod, "Thank you for coming."
"You called the boys in blue?" Quinn said, "He is serious about this."
Kurt could see Sebastian mumbling in the back, he couldn't deal with him now. He would have a talk with him later, mostly about keeping his meerkat hands off his boyfriend. For now though, he would ignore him.
"Everyone know their cues?" Kurt asked the group. They all gave a nod. He breathed in and out. "Now or never Hummel," he said to himself. He opened the doors and walked out to the top of the stairs. Everyone stopped and looked up at him. Blaine looked up and gave him a puzzling look.
Kurt tried to remember what he wanted to say, he had planned an entire speech, but it left his mind. Now was the time for him to say another because everyone was staring at him. He cleared his throat and began, "My dad told me once that he was afraid as hell at taking a second chance and well I agree it's probably the most frightening thing I have ever thought of doing. This is my second chance and I probably don't deserve it or even know if it's the dumbest mistake, but I need it." He turned and stared straight into Blaine's eyes, "I need you. I'm not the same without you. You ground me and make me feel things I've never felt before."
Blaine sat there staring up at Kurt and listened to the words he had to say.
"These past few weeks were some of the hardest times I've faced. I think at first I didn't want to agree with you, but you were right. Like most of the time, but I'm stubborn to admit it," Kurt smiled and gave a shrug.
Giving his signature laugh, Blaine reached up and wiped a tear from his cheek.
Kurt just smiled, "Now I had to ask for some help on this, and trust me when I say I never thought I would ask a certain person for help ever." He took a step down, "This is for you Blaine, because I love you and I will always know where to find you."
Music had begun to play and Blaine wondered how long Kurt had been planning all of this. He didn't have to wait long for, because Kurt started to sing.
I'm all alone
Holding on to memories while you're moving on
Let me take you back to when we first said goodbye
'Cause I need you
Blaine watched as the Kurt walked to the middle of the steps and stood there singing to him. He couldn't believe Kurt was even doing this.
I try because all that I can do is hope that loves enough
To pull you close enough to hold you
I'll close my eyes
And I see you
The New Directions appeared and then the Warblers came out. They started singing along with Kurt and clapping along. Blaine couldn't believe his eyes.
Even when the sky falls and I've lost it all
I know I will find you there
Even when my heart stops I'll keep looking
'Cause I know I will find you there
You know I will find you
I'll find you
I will find you there
You know I will find you
I'll find you
I will find you there
Kurt ran down the rest of the stairs and walked up to Blaine. He sat down on the table in front of him. He sang right to him.
So tell me why
Why you want a world between us
Let me try I know you know this time I mean it
Say you still care and you need me
So where'd you go
Something in your voice that says you're not alone
Do you remember when I said I'd always be there
Believe me
Kurt held his hand out and Blaine took it, only to be pulled back towards the group that was gathered on the steps.
Even when the sky falls and I've lost it all
I know I will find you there
Even when my heart stops I'll keep looking
'Cause I know I will find you there
You know I will find you
I'll find you
I will find you there
You know I will find you
I'll find you
I will find you there
Wrapping his arms around him, Kurt started to dance with Blaine. He dipped Blaine and twirled him as they danced. Blaine just laughed as they danced.
We're timeless
We're fearless
We're always gone
We're brilliant
We're broken
We're burned and on
Kurt pulled Blaine close and sung right to him letting him know what he was feeling in this moment.
Even when the sky falls and I've lost it all
I know I will find you there
Even when my heart stops I'll keep looking
'Cause I know I will find you there
As Kurt sang to Blaine, each one of the members of the New Directions and Warblers gave Blaine a flower. Even Sebastian smugly handed Blaine a flower, Kurt wasn't even paying attention though he was just looking at Blaine.
You know I will find you
I'll find you
I will find you there
You know I will find you
I'll find you
I will find you there
Even when the sky falls and I've lost it all
I know I will find you there
Even when my heart stops I'll keep looking
'Cause I know I will find you there
The New Directions and Warblers started to take a step back giving the two their space. Kurt reached down and took Blaine's hand in his. He brought it up between and kissed his knuckles.
You know I will find you
I'll find you
I will find you there
You know I will find you
I'll find you
I will find you there
The band faded the music out and Kurt was now breathing heavy waiting for Blaine's reaction. He didn't know what to expect, but hoped it was positive.
Blaine blushed and looked down, "You're a dork."
Kurt let out a laugh, and realized he was crying himself, "I know."
"Rachel?" Blaine asked him.
"How'd you guess?" Kurt smiled at him.
Blaine pulled out a stack of post it notes, "I suppose these should have been a clue as to what you were doing."
Kurt gave a shrug, "I think it's time for that talk."
"Me too," Blaine gave a nod.
"Oh my god," Santana said, "Just kiss you dumbasses."
Blaine just laughed and looked down.
Kurt put his finger under Blaine's chin to lift his head. He pressed their lips together and nothing had ever felt so amazing in that moment.
