"Come on Kurt, I think you will look fine," Blaine sighed as he was sitting in the fitting room chair.

The couple was at the mall finding outfits to wear underneath their graduation gowns. Finn had been with them, but Blaine let him escape about two hours ago.

The door to the fitting room Kurt was using swung open, "Why do I look awful in everything here?"

Blaine stood up, "You do not look awful, you look hot. But as I pointed out before, your gown is going to be covering most of it." He helped Kurt test out a few of the tie choices.

"I know," Kurt sighed as he wrapped the tie around his neck, "But I just never thought I would get here the way I did."

Blaine saw him fumbling with his tie, "Here let me help you." He gently reached up and batted Kurt's hands away. "Look, you will be fine. And you aren't the one who has to stand up and give a speech to people who hated you." He finished tying the tie and gave him a quick kiss, "Handsome."

Kurt rolled his eyes, "You are just saying that because I'm the one who gets in your pants."

Blaine blushed and looked down, "You know that isn't true. I always thought you were handsome."

Turning around, Kurt wrapped his arms around Blaine's neck, "Plus if you just told me I looked handsome all of the time I would probably walk out of the house wearing some awful looking outfits."

"That is a false statement," Blaine smiled, "I would like you naked most of the time."

One of the sales associates cleared their throats, "Any thing you don't need?"

"Right," Kurt ran into the fitting room and pulled out a large pile of clothes, "There are you are. I think I like this." He looked at himself in the mirror and avoiding the glare the sales associate was giving to him.

Blaine let out a giggle as she left and Kurt grinned over at him. "You are awful."

"I'll get changed and then we can stop to grab some coffee before we go," Kurt said as he disappeared into the fitting room again.

Waiting for Kurt to come out, Blaine reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone. He had a message from his mom and Rachel. The message from his mom just asked if he was spending the night with Kurt or not.

They had been doing that a lot lately, spending the night at one another's houses. They didn't have any school to wake up early for and their parents trusted them to be adult enough since they were moving out to New York in a couple of months.

Blaine texted his mom that he was spending the night with Kurt and then checked Rachel's message to see what she needed. He grinned as he read his friend's thoughts. They had picked the place they were going to move into, but they were now in the middle of choosing furniture.

Kurt had suggested they check out flea markets, which they did and selected some furniture. Rachel still wanted to go to Bed, Bath, and Beyond though. Blaine just usually went along with either of them.

The door opened to reveal Kurt wearing his regular clothes, "What's with the smile?"

"Rachel just texted me a picture of a sofa she found," Blaine typed into his phone. "She wants to know you're opinion too."

Kurt sighed, "Fine, let me see it." When Blaine passed him the phone, he looked down at the picture, "No."

Blaine took his phone back, "I will let her know you love it then."

"Well you should love it then, since you are probably going to be sleeping on it," Kurt said lifting an eyebrow.

"Oh honey, you don't mean that," Blaine teased him, "Besides the ducks look adorable."

Kurt just sighed and let out a laugh, "I'm going to pay for my choices, and make sure you tell Ms. Berry that I hate it."

"I will let her know you don't like it," Blaine rolled his eyes. He followed Kurt to the cashier as text Rachel who was said that they both didn't like it. She sent him a message telling them that she would keep looking.

They walked out of the store, with both of them holding their purchases. "So my parents want to take us all out tonight for a graduation dinner. They invited Rachel too," Kurt said, "I mean I know Finn and Rachel are themselves, so I hope you don't mind."

"Nah," Blaine shook his head, "Besides I love your family. Your dad loves me."

"He thinks you were an amazing influence on me," Kurt looked over at him, "You know what though, I keep thinking back to that first night almost a year ago and I faintly remember you getting me to go home with you."

Blaine's eyebrows lifted high, "Bull shit."

"I must not tell a lie," Kurt smiled at him.

"We'll see who is sleeping on the couch," Blaine said as he looked straight ahead, "Besides I'm pretty it was you seducing me. I mean I was just a lowly virgin before we met."

Kurt pushed Blaine, almost making him lose his balance, "You are an ass."

"But I am your ass," Blaine said wiggling his own behind slightly. He then grinned at Kurt, who was just looking at him. "Tag you're it," he tapped Kurt on the shoulder and started to run off.

"Get back here Anderson!" Kurt yelled as he chased after Blaine in the mall.

Later on in the evening, the Hummel-Hudsons' with Blaine and Rachel were sitting around a table at Breadstix. Burt told the kids to order whatever they wanted.

Blaine politely thanked Burt and felt Kurt's hand on his knee. He knew that Burt did like him, mostly because he brought his son back.

"So did you really hate that couch I sent you a picture of?" Rachel asked them.

Kurt groaned, "Rachel it had ducks on it."

"Ducks can add character," Finn said with a smile.

"You can have it then," Kurt shook his head. He leaned over to make sure Rachel was listening, "I am not having a couch with little ducks on it in our apartment."

Blaine was hiding behind his menu not wanting to get dragged into yet another discussion about the apartment and furniture. They had only started buying furniture a week ago and they argued about each piece.

"So Blaine," Carole said ignoring the bickering, "Are your parents staying home to see you graduate?"

"Yeah," Blaine nodded his head, "They are excited for me to give my speech. I was honored when they asked if I would be the one to read a speech, although I'm not much of a public speaker."

"You'll do fine," Burt said to him, "Just talking about old times and throw in some big words, no one will tell the difference."

Carole sighed, "Of course they will, people will be listening. Just make sure it comes from the heart."

"That's what my mom said to me," Blaine smiled.

"I'm excited about the song we get to sing," Finn said as he bounced in his seat.

Rachel clapped her hands together, "I am too. It's going to be officially our last song together too."

"No it won't," Blaine shook his head, "With you in our lives, I doubt we won't see each other at least once a year. I don't think you would let us get away that easily."

Rachel threw her arms around his neck and smiled, "That is why you are my best friend."

The waiter came out and looked at the two friends. He looked back at the family, "Have you chosen what you would like for dinner this evening?"

The family and friends chose what they would like to eat and the waiter left giving Blaine and Rachel another look.

Blaine could feel Kurt tense and he reached down lacing their fingers together to hold hands. Kurt's body automatically responded and he felt at ease with Blaine's hand in his.

They went back to the Hummel-Hudson household to watch a movie. Blaine had Kurt curled into his side, with his arm wrapped around him tight.

Rachel left as the movie was over. Burt and Carole went off to bed. Finn asked Kurt and Blaine if they wanted another movie, and they agreed so he put in another one.

Blaine didn't pay much attention to the movie though, he was looking at Kurt. Kurt eventually noticed and looked at him, "What's wrong?"

Smiling, Blaine nuzzled Kurt's shoulder, "Nothing, you are just amazing."

Kurt giggled as he snuggled closer to Blaine, "You dork."

"I am," Blaine said just wrapping his arms tighter around Kurt. When the second movie ended, the couple went off to bed dreaming of what they will have in the future.

The friends spent the next few days together and finally it was the day of graduation. All of the graduates were huddled in the room in the back. The New Directions were in a corner.

"So are you excited to read your speech?" Santana asked Blaine, who was shuffling through his index cards.

Blaine looked up at her, "Honestly I'm scared shitless."

"What are you worried for?" Quinn asked, "You are one of the smartest kids at our school."

"I've heard the speech," Kurt said squeezing Blaine's shoulder, "And he will do amazing as I have said time and time again."

Blaine looked over at Kurt. He had to admit Kurt looked quite good in the bright red gown. He felt it clashed with his own skin tone, but then again he thought everything looked good on Kurt.

"I would be better if you were up there with me," Blaine admitted.

"You will be fine," Kurt said to him and kissed the top of his head.

Rachel ran over to them, "Can you believe it, we are going to graduate!"

"Calm down Berry," Santana said as she sat on the edge of chair that Blaine was sitting on.

The rest of the New Directions gathered around to form a circle. All of them stood and reached out to hold hands. Blaine took Kurt's hand and then felt Santana take his other.

"I thought we would just say you know, a few words," Finn said with a shrug, "We've been through a lot of all us. We have all had some good times and bad times together too. I think that in the end we have all become amazing good friends and like Blaine said the other day we aren't going to forget each other."

Rachel grinned, "I promise to make sure we always stay in touch with each other. I will personally see to it."

The group all laughed and smiled at one another. They knew she was telling the truth.

"I think no matter where we go or what we do we'll always think about these moments," Finn said looking around, "The moments were we had each other and smile you know."

Kurt patted his step, no his brother on the back, "Good job Finn."

A teacher came into the room and called for the room to get organized. They were asked to line up in alphabetical order. Each student received a number and were now lining up in order.

Blaine looked back and gave Kurt a small wave. Kurt just waved back at him and laughed.

The teacher signaled them to start walking and the graduates took their first steps towards the rest of their lives. When the students all walked in and took their seats, Principal Figgins stood up and said a few words to everyone. He then introduced Blaine who stood up and walked on the stage.

Blaine cleared his throat, "Good afternoon everyone." He looked out in the audience and spotted his mother and father, but then someone was sitting next to his dad, it was his brother, Cooper. His eyes shown bright as he his brother waved at him.

"I stand here today, not as a child, but as someone who is going to have future and choices I'll have to make, we will all have to make. I wanted to tell you all a story though. Once upon a time there was a boy. He didn't exactly know what he wanted out of life. The boy didn't have anyone. Until one day, he met someone. Someone so sensational that they turned his entire world upside down," Blaine looked down at Rachel. She smiled back at him.

Blaine looked at everyone in the crowd, "I think when we are in high school we wear these goggles. These goggles distort what we see and how we see things. This person though, she didn't have her goggles on, either she never got them or she took them off just for me. I will forever be grateful for her, because without her I wouldn't know the friends I have today. In the end I think we all take our goggles off, whether we want to or not, and that is how we enter this world."

Taking a breath, Blaine looks around and smiles, "I know most of us probably won't see each other until our ten year reunion, and it's going to be odd because some of us haven't even talked to one another before. But you know what, that won't matter. We don't have goggles to look through, we'll get to see everyone for who they are and what they can become. Think about that while you take these first few walks into the next step in our lives. Think about it when you enter your first job, class, or what ever you do with your life. Make yourselves be the person you've always wanted to be and more, because sometimes with a little misfortunes and luck, you can be anybody you want to be."

Blaine looked down at Kurt and smiled wide, "Congratulations class of 2012, we made it!"

Kurt was the first to jump up and he started clapping enthusiastically. He was so proud of Blaine. And he was so proud to be with him. "That's my boyfriend," he told one of the girls in the row above him.

The girl smiled at him, "He's cute."

Rocking on his feet, Kurt just grinned, "I know."

Principal Figgins quieted down the students and visiting families, he then introduced some of the teachers who would read the student's names as they walked across the stage.

Blaine's row went and lined up at the stage waiting for there names to be called.

"Blaine Devon Anderson."

Walking across the stage, Blaine looked out and smiled at his family, but then he looked down at Kurt and gave a small wave. Kurt grinned happily and waved back.

The next row lined up and walked across the stage, soon it was Kurt's row to walk up, and he was ready.

"Kurt Elizabeth Hummel."

When Kurt walked across the stage, he just hoped not fall. He didn't turn and give Blaine a small wave until he had shook everyone's hand on stage and was walking down the stairs.

The ceremony was coming to a close, as Principal Figgins announced the New Directions to the stage.

Rachel was the first to run up and stand to adjust the microphone. Everyone else filed in around her. Kurt stood next to Blaine and reached down to take his hand. Blaine bumped their shoulders together.

They didn't need to say who they were, everyone knew. The music started off slow and melodic, but then all of a sudden, the music picked up and the group on stage started dancing goofily.

Finn was passed a microphone and he started to take the lead.

Nothing to do
But sit around and make a mess with you

Puck took the microphone and started to sing with Mike who was standing by him.

Watching the world
From rooftop looking down

Laughing, Artie sang next and he tossed the microphone for someone to take.

We never care
Summertime and we ain't going anywhere
No goodbyes...

The New Directions all took over singing as they danced with one another.

We're only young, running wild
Only young, get it right
We've got all the time in the world tonight
We're only young, you and I
Only young, let it ride
Right here, the best night of our lives!

Santana grabbed the microphone and smiled as she sang her lines.

Let's go down in flames
Tomorrows just a million miles away

Quinn was handed the microphone and she pulled it next to her and Brittany to sing together.

We got tonight
So let's tear this town apart

They handed the microphone to Mercedes who sang out her lines.

We'll never change
We'll party like it's graduation day

Tina happily took the microphone as she sang her part.

No goodbyes...
We'll stay right here...
Laugh til we cry...

The group came back together and sang as one. They tried to get everyone in the audience to start singing along with them, shouting in unison.

We're only young, running wild
Only young, get it right
We've got all the time in the world tonight
We're only young, you and I
Only young, let it ride
Right here, the best night of our lives!

Tonight tonight

We'll make some history
Tonight tonight

We'll burn some memories
Tonight tonight

Legends never die
Tonight tonight

It's like a movie
Tonight tonight

The way it should be
Tonight tonight

All we've got is time

Rachel grinned as she held the microphone, and Kurt and Blaine sang with her.

We're only young, and we don't care
If we get old, and lose our hair
Right now, the best night of our lives

As the New Directions started to sing, most of the graduates stood up and started to dance and sing along.

We're only young, running wild
Only young, get it right
We've got all the time in the world tonight

We're only young, you and I
Only young, let it ride
Right here, the best night of our lives!

Only young! (You and I!)
Only young! (Get it right!)
Only young!
Only young! (You and I!)
Only young! (Let it ride!)
Only young! (The best night of our lives!)

Everyone broke out in applause as they were finished. The New Directions all took hands and bowed together for the last time.

Kurt pulled Blaine close and kissed him, in front of everyone. They were both smiling as they pulled away. "Ready?" Blaine asked him.

"With you," Kurt grinned, "I can do anything."
