*I do not own Glee or any of the characters* - I wish :)
Would appreciate some reviews guys! Hope you enjoy :P
I seriously cried writing this, I can just imagine them…
Blaine sat on his bed with his head placed in his hands, fingers tugging on his dark curls. Sighing, he sat back against the wall and looked at the little box in the middle of his floor. The velvet purple case stared back up at him, like the contents were impatient to get out.
Blaine knew he had to do it today. He'd been telling himself he would every day that week. It was now Friday, 8am. It wasn't that he was getting second thoughts, he was just worried. So, so worried.
What if he said no?
Blaine walked over and picked the box up. Opening it, he sucked in his breath: it was truly beautiful. It was expensive but his boyfriend deserved only the best.
Sunlight, pouring in through the window, shone on the ring Blaine was holding. It shimmered under the harsh light, bringing out its flawless beauty. It was a wonderful silver princess cut ring. The shop owner wasn't wrong when he told Blaine it was the best money could buy. It was a good job his parents were loaded, not that they supported his decision, but they still had the money.
"Platinum, 2.00 Diamond carat weight, VVS1 Diamond clarity, Diamond colour D and an IGI/GIA Diamond certificate." Blaine listed out loud. He did this every time he looked at the ring; he knew he had to get it right for Kurt, who would want to know all the details. Blaine knew it would look stunning on Kurt's finger. He just hoped he would say yes.
Blaine had the whole arrangement sorted for a few months before he bought the ring, but now the time to propose was here, he kept postponing. He wanted everything to be perfect for his boyfriend, so he'd gone the full way in preparing a proposal that everyone would be jealous of.
Rachel, who was giving Blaine lifts to school since his car broke down, walked into his room to see him standing there staring intensely at the small box. Again.
"Blaine…he'll love it. He loves you, with all his heart. Today's the day Blaine. He'll say yes – I promise you." Rachel said, smiling at the boy whose heart was so full of love.
Blaine glanced up at Rachel, then back down to the box. He took a deep breath, closed his eyes and shut the box tight. "Ok, Rachel. Today, after school… will you inform the others?"
'Sure. I'm so happy for you both.' Rachel said joyfully as she ran at Blaine and attacked him with a loving hug.
The little hand ticked slowly closer to the 12 on the clock face. Blaine glanced up every few seconds and was sure people were beginning to recognise how worried and panicked he was. He'd had generous amounts of 'good lucks' and 'I wish you both the bests' throughout the day but they had done nothing for Blaine's nerves, if anything they had only made them worse.
'What's up honey?' Kurt smiled across at Blaine, still with concern in his eyes.
'Nothing darling.' Blaine replied as he leaned across to give Kurt a quick kiss on the lips. As he did so the bell rang for the end of the day and Blaine's body completely froze. The time had arrived.
Blaine opened his eyes from the kiss and saw Kurt's confused face staring back at him.
'I love you.' Kurt whispered, his brilliant blue eyes staring strongly into his boyfriends.
That was all the encouragement Blaine needed. Somehow those words from Kurt made everything better. He knew now he was making the right decision. He didn't care that they were young; he knew Kurt wanted this just as much as he did. He grabbed Kurt by the hand and pulled him out of the classroom, grinning from ear to ear.
He dragged Kurt all the way to the outside steps where he first sang Somewhere only we know to Kurt. Blaine laughed to himself, remembering how they were both scared they wouldn't get to see each other again and now here they were: Blaine about to propose to Kurt.
The rest of the Glee club ushered Kurt forwards to sit on the bottom step. Blaine ran ahead and pulled out his guitar and a stool. He admired how the weather had stayed wonderfully sunny and bright all day, like it knew how important of a day this was.
He brought the stool so he was sat a few feet in front of Kurt and sat down. He smiled at Kurt who had an excited yet bewildered expression on his face which Blaine found so adorable. He began to play his chosen song on his guitar.
L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very, very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you adore can
Love is all that I can give to you
Love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart and please don't break it
Love was made for me and you
The school band came to join Blaine here and started to play in perfectly harmony. They played perfectly, smiling all the way, leaving Blaine enough time for a quick guitar solo. He glanced up at Kurt and saw how much he was enjoying this and he couldn't help but let the tears welling up in his eyes fall to the ground.
L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very, very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you adore can
Love is all that I can give to you
Love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart and please don't break it
Love was made for me and you
Love was made for me and you
Yes, love was made for me and you
For the last chorus the band faded out and Blaine stopped playing the guitar. The members of Glee club, who were sitting with Kurt, provided some soft backing vocals as Blaine put all his emotion into his singing, looking Kurt directly in the eyes.
Love is all that I can give to you
Love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart and please don't break it
Love was made for me and you
Love was made for me and you
The Glee club stopped singing and moved away, leaving just Blaine sitting in front of Kurt. He stood up and took Kurt's hands, lifting him out of his seat. He smiled lovingly at his boyfriend and sang the last line.
Love was made for me and you
"Look up honey…" Blaine whispered to Kurt, trying to contain his tears as he saw the wonder in his boyfriend's brilliant blue eyes.
Kurt looked up and gasped in surprise. An aeroplane was whizzing across the sky, creating a message for Kurt. He watched in awe as the writing came to life in the sky: 'Will you marry me?' Kurt screamed in surprise and delight and looked down at Blaine who had now sunk down onto one knee and was holding a box with the most beautiful ring he had ever seen in his life.
"Kurt Elizabeth Hummel, I love you so very much. Will you do me the honour of becoming my husband?"
Kurt leapt into his boyfriends arms "Yes Blaine! YES I will! OH MY GOD, YES!"
Everyone who had gathered to watch, including the band, the Glee club and teachers, suddenly sprang into action. They threw confetti, screaming and crying at the breathtaking scene in front of them. Music began to play once more and the happiness was spread all around.
Finn was silent, overcome with emotion at how happy his brother had become; From the broken boy who was ashamed of who he was, to an amazing, outgoing and confident young man, happily engaged to the man he truly loved.
Kurt and Blaine were passionately kissing each other, unaware of the celebrations going on around them. They broke apart and simply stared at each other grinning like never before. Blaine reached over and wiped the tears away that were running down his fiancés perfect porcelain face.
"Do you remember what you told me Kurt after prom… That they can't touch us, or what we have? Well, you know why that is? It's because they will never ever be able to have what we have. We've got something special here Kurt, something that others will only dream of. We're soul mates, we were meant to be with each other. Do you remember what I told you also, after regionals? I told you that we got each other out of all this Kurt. We have, we really have. We're engaged and ready to be happily married. Who knows, one day we'll grow old together, have a few children… maybe even grand-children! And… I – I don't know where I'd be without you Kurt. You move me. My heart is now yours, forever. This is true love Kurt, I know it is. I love you from the depths of the very soul. I- I love you."
"I love you too. So much."
And with that both boys had burst out into tears of happiness once more. They held each other close and left loving touches and kisses, linking their fingers together and brushing hands through the backs of each other's hair.
The celebrations carried on well into the early hours of the morning, until it was only Kurt and Blaine left by themselves. They lay next to each other in the grass and looked up into the endless starry night sky. Blaine turned his head to kiss Kurt's forehead lovingly and they both fell in a deep sleep, full of dreams of their happy life ahead… together.
