I heard a door opening in the distant and the sound of a voice nearby. It was oddly familiar and sounded a lot like my Dad. I cracked open one of my eyes to see my Dad's head peering around my bedroom door. I blinked a couple of times, trying to work out what was happening. The last thing I remembered was kissing and cuddling Blaine, letting ourselves reconnect after such an emotional talk. I looked around my room to find that I was lying on my bed, cuddled up to my sleeping boyfriend with my head on his chest. Blaine's arms were wrapped tightly around me as he held me to him as he slept. I didn't remember falling asleep but obviously our talk and the events of the day had tired us both out. I suddenly remembered my Dad standing in the doorway and returned my gaze to him.
"Hey kiddo," Dad said in a hushed tone, "I just wanted to let you two know that dinner's ready. I think it'll be good for you two to have something to eat."
I couldn't believe that it was so late. Blaine and I had come home in the late morning so we must have been asleep for a couple of hours. I did feel refreshed after my nap with Blaine and felt as happy as I did when I had first woken up this morning. I watched as my Dad kept me a look that clearly indicated that we should both be downstairs in a few minutes, before retreating and shutting the door behind him. I turned my attention back to my sleeping boyfriend, happy to call him that. I watched him sleep for a few moments before leaning in and placing a soft kiss to his lips. I pulled away after a few seconds, before placing kisses along his jawline and moving down to his neck.
Blaine groaned with pleasure, "This has to be one of my favourite ways of being woken up."
I couldn't help but giggle at that as I moved back up to kiss Blaine once again, "Hi."
"Hi," Blaine murmured as he kissed me back, deepening the kiss for a moment before pulling back a little bit, "Was your Dad in here?"
I slowly nodded at his question, still allowing myself to fully wake up and prepare myself for the inevitable interrogation that was bound to happen once we sat down at the table, "Yeah, he was just saying we need to come down to dinner as we need to eat. Dad gave me a look that told me we don't have a choice."
"I'm guessing your Dad wasn't expecting to find his son and his reinstated boyfriend curled up together in bed with the door shut," Blaine chuckled, his eyes dancing with amusement.
"To be fair, we were curled up on the bed, not in bed," I argued back, hoping that my Dad wouldn't be too annoyed at me.
Blaine just chuckled once again, before leaning down and kissing my temple, "Come on, let's go and face the inquisition."
I let out a sigh before slowly sitting up, which allowed Blaine to sit up. We both got off my bed and tried to smooth our clothes and hair as best as we could. I couldn't help but laugh at how dishevelled Blaine's hair looked, despite the amount of gel in his hair. My boyfriend quickly caught onto what I was laughing at and ran over to the mirror on the wall to try to sort out his hair. After a few attempts he deemed it to be the best he could do and left his hair alone. It didn't look too bad but I just wished that he wouldn't wear so much gel in his hair. I loved his curls and there were ways to control them without using a whole bottle of gel.
I glanced at my own reflection in the mirror and grimaced at what I saw. My hair still had an element of bedhead to it, but I just hated that I still had all the cuts and bruises to remind me of everything that had happened. Blaine and I had come such a long way in the small matter of a few days and I just wanted to put this all behind now. Of course I couldn't just do that, not with my face and body constantly reminding me that I was in pain and that I had been hurt.
Blaine's face suddenly appeared next to me in the mirror as he rested his chin on my shoulder. I smiled sadly at him in the mirror before focusing back on my reflection. I hated how I looked and just wished it would all go away.
"You're beautiful Kurt Hummel," Blaine whispered, knowing what was going through my mind, "You'll always be beautiful to me, no matter what."
I smiled as I leaned back into Blaine's embrace, who had wrapped his arms loosely around my waist, "You always know how to make me feel better. I love you so much. I'm so glad you fought for me earlier."
"I love you too," Blaine said as he placed a kiss to my shoulder, "I will always fight for you."
We smiled at one another in the mirror for a few moments, before we were interrupted by my Dad calling us once again for dinner. Blaine and I let out a chuckle before moving out of our embrace. I took Blaine's hand in mine as we left my bedroom and headed to the stairs. Blaine immediately wrapped his arm around my waist and held my hand as we made our way slowly down the stairs. I was touched by the fact he didn't want me to get anymore hurt. We reached the bottle of the stairs and I felt confident enough to move out of Blaine's hold, taking his hand in mine once again. We made our way into the kitchen to find everyone already sitting there. I noted that we were simply having pizza and chips, with the food laid out in a buffet format so everyone could just help themselves. We quickly took our seats and Carole gestured for everyone to help themselves. I grabbed two slices of cheese and tomato pizza and a handful of chips before loading my plate up with salad. I knew Dad and Finn wouldn't touch the stuff with a bargepole and that Carole and Blaine would have a little bit on their plates. I was the only one who was really interested in eating healthily and taking care of myself. I picked up my knife and fork, pulling a face in disgust as Finn attacked his pizza. I was much more sophiscated than that.
Dad clearly his throat caught my attention, "So boys... would you mind telling me what the hell has been going on?"
I decided to play it dumb, "What are you on about, Dad?"
Dad just gave me a look, "Don't be silly kiddo. The last time I saw you, I was dropping you off at Blaine's house last night. I'm guessing that you two are back together, especially from how you two were in your room with the door closed. What happened today for you to come home after being in school for a short period of time? And don't tell that you didn't feel very well. You could have gone to the nurse's office for a lie down and I would have been contacted. What's going on?"
It was bizarre to think that Blaine and I had only got back together last night. It felt like a lifetime had passed since then.
"I didn't feel well and I ached all over," I began, ignoring my father's scoff, "I also just didn't want to be in school anymore."
"Kurt, just tell me what happened!" Dad said, anger coming through in his tone, "Finn's adamant that you should be the one to tell me. Please kiddo, just tell me what happened."
I didn't want to stress my Dad out as I knew I would once I revealed that Sebastian Smythe was the reason I had left school early. I couldn't avoid it forever and I knew the truth would come out eventually.
I let out a sigh, accepting my fate, "Sebastian came to see me in the choir room at school today."
The room went silent. I caught Blaine's eye and he was looking at me with such a sad expression on his adorable and handsome face. He was obviously thinking back to everything that happened with Sebastian and the fact that we almost broke up from it all. I placed my knife on the table so I could reach down and take Blaine's hand in mine, giving it a squeeze to show him that I was there for him. Blaine squeezed back, letting me know the same, and smiled sadly at me. I smiled softly back at him, knowing that basically shit was going to go down in my house that evening. I glanced around the room to see that Finn was just staring down at his pizza, trying to avoid making eye contact with anyone. Carole was watching my Dad, worried about how he was going to react to this bit of news. I dared to summon the courage to look at the man who had raised me and, just as I had predicted, he looked absolutely furious. His knuckles were completely white due to how hard he was gripping onto his cutlery. Dad also looked like that any second he would be up and out of his seat and running out of the house in search of one Sebastian Smythe. I didn't blame him to be honest. He had just heard that the boy who had hurt his son gad turned up at his school looking for him after everything he had put him through. If my Dad had thought that there was a chance of this happening, he probably would have locked me in my house and refused to let me out for the remainder of my days, being determined to keep me safe from the world and what was bad in it.
"Did I just hear you correctly?" Dad demanded as Carole reached to remove the cutlery from his tight grip.
"Burt..." Carole said warningly as she placed a hand on his, "Just calm down sweetheart. Just take a deep breath and listen to what Kurt has to say, okay?"
I watched as my Dad closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"Okay son, please tell me what happened today," Dad asked, his teeth gritted.
This would be hard. I hate thinking about any aspect of this day but I knew I had to relive it. The one positive thing that had come out of all of this was that Blaine and I did have a strong relationship and that we were willing to fight for one another. This enlightened me with the fact that we could make it when we did long distance. It would only be for a year and I wasn't naïve to think it would be easy, but it would all be so worth it when Blaine joined me in New York and we could start our lives together there. I also knew that my Dad would be delighted with the fact that I had punched Sebastian in the face. He would probably be happy to hear that the Warbler had turned up at McKinley with a black eye and a fat lip.
"Like I said, Sebastian came to see me at school today," I started, taking my time as I watched my Dad for his reaction and to make sure he wasn't getting too stressed out, "He said he had been worried about me and he had wanted to find me. He had been calling my phone several times but as I didn't recognise the number, I didn't answer his calls. Because of this, Sebastian came to McKinley yesterday and today to see if I was there. He wanted to talk to me and I eventually agreed."
Dad looked angry at that so Blaine quickly jumped in, "Kurt forgot to say that Sebastian came to McKinley with a black eye and a fat lip, courtesy of him."
I saw Dad crack a slight smile at this news before he rearranged his face back into a stern expression.
I glanced between my father and my boyfriend before speaking once more, "Yeah Sebastian had some battle wounds too from that night. After agreeing to talk to him, I went into Mr Schue's office with him to talk in private. This happened after many arguments of various members of the New Directions of course. I had Blaine, Finn and Santana insisting that I shouldn't be left alone with him and that they should be with me wherever we went to talk in private. We went into Mr Schue's office so we weren't too far away from everyone."
Finn and Blaine both nodded in agreement with me, looking a little annoyed that they hadn't gotten their way.
"At least those three were using their brains," Dad muttered under his breath.
This angered me immensely, "Look Dad, I had every right to hear what Sebastian had to say to me. I wanted to understand why he had done what he did. I can make my own decisions without needing anyone's help. I didn't need my 'bodyguards' there with me."
Dad seemed mollified by my reaction, "I'm sorry son, I didn't mean to upset you in any way. I just hate the idea that this lowlife showed up at your school after everything he had already put you through. The nerve of this kid!"
This mollified me as well knowing that my father only had my best interests at heart, "I know Dad. I get that you want to protect me but I can handle myself. I wanted to hear the guy out of my own. I knew what I was doing. I knew he was more likely to open up if it was just me he was talking to, rather than several people from the Glee club including my boyfriend."
"I know son, I know," My Dad said, sounding and looking sincere, "So... what happened in Mr Schuester's office?"
I started once again, "Sebastian told me that the reason he had come to McKinley to find me was that he was worried about me."
Dad scoffed at that but he didn't say anything to interrupt me or stop me talking. I saw Blaine clench his free hand into a fist at the reminder that Sebastian had any sort of feelings towards me.
"He started to apologise," I continued, giving Blaine's hand entwined with me a squeeze, "He was saying things to excuse his behaviour, mentioning how drunk he was and what an idiot he was. I called him out on his bullshit."
"Language Kurt!" Carole reprimanded me, making me want to roll my eyes but I knew that I would cause more grief and get told off again. Surely I had been through enough meaning that I could say a swear word without being told off.
I quickly muttered, "Sorry," under my breath before jumping back to my story, "Anyway, Sebastian informed me that he never would have... raped me... yeah. He realised that it is what I thought he was going to do to me if I hadn't stopped him and he was horrified. He pleaded his case and for some reason, I couldn't help but believe him."
Finn stood up at that point "Dude come on! You're meant to be the smart brother! How can you believe that creep? Who knows what he could have done to you?"
I watched as Carole grabbed her son's arm and made him sit back down. I knew Finn had a point and that I was probably being stupid for believing Sebastian. The thing was that I did believe him and everyone had to accept that.
"I do believe him Finn. It's okay if you don't believe him and I won't try to change your mind. I saw his reaction to the idea of him attempting to rape me and I saw how horrified he was," I stated, indicating that there was no changing my mind, "After telling him that I believed him, I went on to ask Sebastian what was going through his mind during everything..."
Blaine suddenly interrupted me, "And that's when dear old Sebastian came out with all that rubbish that he was in love with Kurt and that's why all of this happened and why he acted in that manner!"
I couldn't argue with what Blaine was saying as it was the truth. It was still extremely weird to think that Sebastian Smythe actually had feelings for someone, let alone was in love with me.
The room had gone so quiet that you could have heard a pin drop. My Dad looked like he had gone into shock and Finn just looked murderous once more, mixed with his usual look of confusion. Carole looked stunned by the news and Blaine was still seething, yet I could detect a hint of sadness in his expression. I knew that he once again was thinking about the affect Sebastian had had on our relationship. I turned to look at my boyfriend and just waited until he was looking back at me. I smiled at him, letting him know that he was the one for me and that I wasn't going to let Sebastian come between us. Blaine slowly gave me a smile, letting me know that he felt the same way and that we were going to get this right.
Carole eventually broke the silence first, "Boys, are you two saying that this boy Sebastian said that he loved you Kurt?"
I hesitantly nodded, feeling awkward talking about all of this, "Yeah... that's what he said."
"Wow!" My Dad finally spoke, "I cannot believe this guy! Who does he think he is? Does he really think he can get away with all of this or avoid what happened because he claims to be in love with my son?"
"He said that he used to be mean to me because he wanted to push away his feelings," I explained, knowing that it seemed and sounded incredibly childish, "Then according to him, one day he started to accept that he had these feelings. He tried to compare all of this to Blaine having feelings for me and taking a while to realise he had them."
My Dad let out a bitter laugh, "I bet you weren't very happy upon hearing that!"
I grimaced at the memory of it all, "That is correct. I think I actually yelled at him that he was completely wrong and that he had no idea what he was talking about. He then..."
My voice faltered as I remembered the next part of my tale, "Sebastian started going on and on about how Blaine had hurt me. He brought up things such as Blaine not initially realising his feelings for me and arguments that he had heard about through the grapevine. I think I actually screamed at him to shut up and I tried to leave the office. He grabbed my arm and stopped me leaving the room. Of course Finn, Blaine and Santana had been watching so they burst in through the door to come to my aid."
Finn spoke up at that point, "I had no idea what was going on in that office but I could see you were upset Kurt. I wanted him to get away from you so I just grabbed him and threw him into the choir room."
"At this point, everyone had realised that Sebastian was the one who had hurt Kurt," Blaine continued, "The New Directions were all so angry but the bas... Sebastian used the fact that his father was a state attorney in his favour, fully knowing that he was untouchable and that there was nothing we could do about it."
"But... where was Mr Schuester when all of this was happening?" Carole asked, sounding extremely concerned "Surely he would have stepped in at the very least or even got rid of Sebastian instead of letting him in in the first place!"
I shook my head and let out a sigh at the thought of my teacher, "Mr Schue enjoys all the drama and he never does anything to stop it from happening. He might as well be standing there with some popcorn to enjoy his entertainment. When some of the others asked him to do something, Mr Schue implied that there was nothing that he could do and then went on to say that all of this was simply my word against Sebastian's. He's not very helpful when you need him to be."
Dad looked absolutely furious at this, "That idiotic teacher!"
"I'm sure he tries to mean well," Carole said gently, speaking to us all in a calm manner, "Even though it does sound like he's not doing his job of protecting his students and making sure they are safe."
"I always thought Mr Schue was the best teacher ever," Finn said, sounding defeated, "I swear he used to always try and help us. I wish he was still like that."
There was an awkward moment where everyone just looked at Finn, feeling sorry for the tall boy, not knowing what to say.
"What happened next?" My Dad asked me, breaking the awkwardness.
I paused to recapture my thoughts, "I told Sebastian to leave and he declared his love for me once more. When everyone started yelling at him, he told them all they had destroyed me emotionally by ignoring the bullying that was going on and that Blaine had caused permanent cracks in my heart by breaking up with me. Obviously everyone was furious, especially Blaine here so he tried to attack Sebastian who kept taunting him.
"He made several really inappropriate comments about what could have happened between him and Kurt and about Kurt's body," Blaine said, looking haunted, "He kept antagonising me and I actually wanted to kill him!"
"That is why I had to quickly put an end to all of this because Blaine ended up murdering the Warbler," I explained, giving my boyfriend my bitch glare, "I told Sebastian to leave and of course he wasn't too happy about it. I told him I didn't care about what he had to say as he had just come to McKinley and hurt me more, as well as insulting my boyfriend and friends. I told him he'd done enough damage to last a lifetime. He once again grabbed my arm and locked a tight grip on it, telling me he wouldn't leave me alone. So... I punched him."
The reaction to what I said made me laugh. Everyone had looked so serious but after revealing I had punched the boy who had hurt me, everyone looked like they were proud of me. Finn and Blaine were grinning at me, while Carole was trying not to smile as she didn't condone violence but I could tell she was happy. My Dad looked delighted and I could tell he wished he had been there to see me punch Sebastian.
"It was awesome!" Finn exclaimed, his grin widening, "There was this massive crack and there was blood coming out of his nose. He hit him so hard!"
"This was the moment Mr Schue stepped in... to tell me off!" I told my parents, who looked annoyed to hear that, "I argued back and called him out on all this rubbish. I finally got Sebastian to leave and he said that he was sorry for everything. The reason I came home early was that my hand hurt, I got a massive headache and my ribs ached. Blaine brought me here and we talked about everything. We fell asleep and now we're eating dinner with you guys."
Dad and Carole looked at one another before turning back to me. Dad reached over and took my free hand in his, "I'm sorry that you had to go through more of this Kurt. I am seriously glad that you punched that Warbler brat. No one pushes the Hummels around, right kiddo?"
I immediately smiled at my father, "Right Dad, no one pushes us around."
Dad removed his hand from my grip and stood up, opening his arms. I let go of Blaine's hand and stood up as well, moving into my father's arms. We clung to each other as we hugged. I closed my eyes as I allowed myself to be hugged by my father. It was moments like these that I treasured and I knew I would dreadfully miss the man who had raised me when I went to New York. We eventually pulled away and we sat back down in our seats to resume the family dinner. Blaine and I entwined our hands once more as we joined in with the chatter of the family meal.
(break)
It had been a little awkward as Blaine and I had walked into the choir room that morning as everyone had stopped talking and had just watched us come in. It was obvious that they had been discussing us but for once, I couldn't be bothered. Even Mr Schue had a slight sheepish expression on his face at the sight of us. I hoped that he felt bad for his behaviour and that he had thought about how he acted. Santana just grinned at me as I walked in and sat down in my usual seat at the back with Blaine by my side.
"I bet the meerkat will be waking up sore today," the Latina said with a wicked grin on her face.
I just rolled my eyes and smiled back at her. Sometimes it was best not to indulge her. I saw Santana pout slightly at the lack of my response but she just turned to Brittany and started talking about having sweet lady kisses later. I smiled to myself when I felt Blaine's arm wrap around my shoulders and I manoeuvred my body slightly so I was leaning against him. I reached up so the hand around my shoulders was entwined with mine. I loved being affectionate with Blaine and we usually tried to keep our slight distance in the choir room so that we didn't make others feel uncomfortable but now, I just didn't care. They could like it or lump it. We just sat back and watched as Mr Schue started talking about Nationals and what we needed to do to prepare. I was actually surprised we weren't just going to wait until the morning of the competition to decide on songs and choreography.
"Mr Schuester?" Rachel's hand was high up in the air, "I would like to sing a song. I believe it is the perfect song for me to sing as a solo at Nationals. It highlights my talent and shows the world why they are all inferior to my obvious talent."
"I'm going to actually kill that girl one day," I heard Santana mutter, which caused me to smirk.
Mr Schue gave Rachel an uncertain look, "I'm sure it's a great song Rachel but how about we focus on the Troubletones song for together? Or the group number?"
"Why can't I sing?" Rachel demanded, glaring at the teacher standing before them, "All of you always try and stop my talent shining."
"Shut up dwarf! You're not the only talented person in this room!" Santana barked, obviously losing her cool, "Yes you can sing but if you continue with that attitude, you're going to be a washed up star by the age of twenty!"
"Couldn't have put it better myself," I whispered to Blaine, who nodded in agreement.
Suddenly Blaine put his hand up, "Mr Schue? I was wondering would it be okay if I sing a song? It isn't for Nationals but it's a song I want to have the chance to sing in this choir room before everyone graduates."
I stared at Blaine in surprise, wondering what on earth he was doing.
Mr Schue surveyed Blaine for a moment before nodding, "Okay Blaine. Show us what you've got."
"What?" Rachel screeched as she stood up, "How can you allow this Mr Schue?"
Finn took his girlfriend's hand and gently pulled her to sit back down, "Rach, you always sing. Let Blaine sing his song okay? You might be able to sing afterwards."
Rachel let out a huff but stayed in her seat. I raised my eyebrow, feeling slightly shocked that Rachel had actually listened to someone. Blaine removed his arm from around me and stood up, making his way to the front of the room. I realised the last time this had happened that he was singing about me 'cheating' on him. I hoped we wouldn't have another debacle on our hands. I glanced around as Mr Schue took a seat and everyone focused on my loving boyfriend.
Blaine cleared his throat, "I know this week has been... different. Everyone's been through a lot but there is one person who has been through more than everyone else. I'm of course talking about the one and only Kurt Hummel. He constantly inspires me and encourages me. He makes me be a better person. I have a saying for him that 'he always zigs when I think he's going to zag'. Kurt surprises me and makes me fall deeper and deeper in love with him, when I thought it wasn't possible. Kurt Hummel is the love of my life and I know I'm the luckiest guy in the world."
I could feel a few of my friends' eyes on me but I didn't care. All I could focus on was Blaine Anderson looking at me as he gave this amazing speech. I didn't know where all of this was coming from but I didn't care. It was simply perfect. Everything Blaine was saying about me was exactly how I felt about him.
"I doubted our relationship this week and I can't believe how incredibly stupid I was to do so," Blaine continued, his eyes locked with mine, "I hope one day I will be able to make it up to him but I won't stop trying until I do. I am so lucky that Kurt gave me another chance but he knows that I will always fight for him, no matter what. He's my best friend and the love of my life."
"Unicorn love!" I heard Brittany exclaim to Santana, who quietly shhhed her girlfriend.
"Kurt and I have a film that we love to watch together and there is one song that we both absolutely love and think it is the most romantic song of all time," Blaine continued, his eyes shining with love for me, "I am talking about the song 'Come What May' from the film 'Moulin Rouge'. Kurt and I often sing it to one another and have said that we would like to sing it at our wedding. I know that some of you will probably be scoffing at that but I don't care. Kurt and I are soulmates and I look forward to the day I can call him my husband. But for now, he is my incredible and loving boyfriend and I'd like to sing this song to him."
I could feel tears in my eyes as I watched Blaine turn to Brad to indicate that he wanted the music to start. His speech was just so incredible. I had never felt more loved. I was still in disbelief that Blaine had said all of this in film of the Glee club and that he had said he knew they would end up together. I smiled at that thought as I knew we would end up together too.
The music started and Blaine opened his mouth to sing, "Never knew I could feel like this. Like I've never seen the sky before. Want to vanish inside your kiss."
I watched, with the biggest smile on my face, as Blaine closed his eyes with a smile on his own face, "Seasons may change, winter to spring, but I love you until the end of time."
Blaine opened his eyes and started walking towards me, his voice growing louder, "Come what may. Come what may. I will love you until my dying day."
As Blaine sung the last part, he reached out to me and held out his hand. Immediately I accepted it and he helped me to the front of the room.
We sung together as we looked into one another's eyes, "Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place. Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace. Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste. It all revolves around you."
Blaine pulled me gently closer and wrapped his arm around my waist and took my hand in his. I realised what he was trying to do and I placed my hand on his shoulder. We slowly started dancing as we sung to one another, forgetting that we were being watched by our friends.
We continued to sing as we danced, "And there's no mountain too high, no river too wide. Sing out this song and I'll be there by your side. Storm clouds may gather and stars may collide..."
I pulled back slightly so I was looking into Blaine's eyes, "But I love you..."
Blaine grinned at me and he sang back, "I love you..."
I continued, with Blaine singing after me, "Until the end of time..."
I rested my forehead against Blaine's as we continued to sing together, "Come what may. Come what may. I will you. I will love you..."
I couldn't help myself as I leaned in and kissed Blaine, moving my arms so they were wrapped around his neck. Blaine kissed me back, deepening the kiss as he tightened his grip ever so slightly on my waist. It was as if we were in a world of our own and it was just the two of us. It was absolutely perfect. I could picture the two of us singing the most romantic song of all time at our wedding and it made me sing into the kiss.
"Wanky!" came the voice of Santana, causing us to separate.
I was stunned to see everyone was on their feet applauding us. I could see tears in several people's eyes and Puck looked like he had been crying. I know he loved that Blaine and I were together. He caught my eye and winked, giving me a massive grin. I couldn't help but laugh and smile back.
"That was beautiful boys," Mr Schue said with a soft smile at the pair of us, "That was just brilliant."
"I can definitely see you two singing that at your wedding," Quinn said with a smile, "It was like a flash forward in the future!"
Blaine and I giggled with delight at the fact our friends thought we were strong enough to last before high school. Their faith in us really made me happy.
"Oh definitely!" Tina exclaimed, her eyes wet from crying so much into Mike's shoulder, "I call bridesmaid!"
I laughed harder as the girls started arguing about who should be our bridesmaids, while the boys were talking about who would be each of our best man's.
I turned to Blaine and whispered softly, "Come what may."
Blaine leaned in and rubbed his nose against me, "Come what may. I will love you until the end of my dying day."
"Until the end of time," I replied before leaning in for another kiss.
