Author's Notes: This is the last actual chapter... Then there's a two part epilogue coming up soon :) Enjoy chapter twenty one! WARNING: Contains smut in the beginning of the chapter.

When Kurt woke up the next morning, he laughed at Simone curled up around Blaine's head.

"Not funny," Blaine groaned. "She kept me up all night."
"That's what you get for kicking her off the bed," Kurt smiled, kissing Blaine softly and climbing out of bed to cook breakfast, not bothering to put on clothes. "What do you want for breakfast?"

"Sleep," he groaned and buried his face in the pillow. Then he got an idea and looked up at Kurt slowly. "Or a blowjob..." Kurt rolled his eyes but he climbed onto the bed between Blaine's legs.

"I can manage that... Then how about we go out for breakfast?" Blaine nodded enthusiastically and pulled Kurt up for a kiss.

”Best fiancé ever," he grinned. Kurt giggled and took Blaine all the way into his mouth, humming around the length as he deep throated him. Blaine moaned loudly.

"Ooohh... Fuck!" He gripped Kurt's hair and enjoyed the wonders his fiancé was doing with his mouth. Kurt made short work of Blaine, swallowing everything after he came. He sat back on his heels, his own erection straining forwards. Blaine shuffled forward to Kurt on his knees.

"You want my mouth or hand, baby?" he whispered.

"Your hand," Kurt breathed. "I want to see your eyes." Blaine nodded, wrapped his hand around Kurt's erection and started stroking firmly. Kurt whined, pulling Blaine into a heated kiss.

"Fuck, baby..." Blaine panted and concentrated on jerking Kurt off as well as he could. Kurt moaned and came hard over his fiancé's hand, his forehead dropping to Blaine's shoulder as he panted.

"Thank you," Blaine breathed. "And good morning."

"Morning,” Kurt whispered, kissing Blaine again. "Breakfast?"

"Sure," he smiled. He kissed Kurt one more time, then got up to get dressed.
When they were sat with their breakfast at a small restaurant down the road, Blaine asked,

"So, you know what song you're going to sing on your audition?" Kurt bit his lip.

"I thought maybe The Boy Next Door." Kurt took a small bite of pancakes. "What do you think?" Blaine swallowed hard, trying not to imagine Kurt in that costume.

"Y-Yeah... You'd rock that song!" Kurt nodded.

"I'll get the material for the trousers today... I can have them made in time. So, what do you want for your birthday?" Blaine blushed.

"You don't have to get me anything. You're with me in New York, that's the greatest gift I could ever get."

"Hush, it's your birthday, it's important. Any ideas?"

"Maybe a night out or something," Blaine shrugged. "But really, it doesn't matter. Don't over think it."

"I want it to be perfect..." Kurt frowned. Blaine sighed.

"Well, to make it easier, I do like to go to events and stuff. Like I said, night out. It doesn't need to be complicated. Maybe a romantic dinner or something."

"I'll think of something,” Kurt promised, leaning across the table to kiss him softly.

"You always do," said Blaine and kissed him back.

 

:)

 

The morning of Blaine's birthday, he was woken by Simone who was walking around his head.

"Unngghh, stop it," he groaned. Kurt giggled and kissed Blaine awake. It was his audition in a few hours, but right now, it was all about Blaine.

"Mmm," Blaine mumbled and kissed him over and over. "Mm'morning..."

"Morning," Kurt smiled, handing him a beautiful, yellow rose and a tray with his favorite breakfast on it.

"K-Kurt, you didn't have to do this!" He looked at the rose and breakfast, completely stunned. Kurt rolled his eyes.

"I'm not done yet." He pushed a small box towards Blaine. Inside was silver Celtic men's locket on a long, dark purple velvet ribbon. It had a photo of him and Blaine kissing inside it. Blaine opened it slowly and held his breath when he saw it. He wasn't even able to speak, he just couldn't. He was too blown away by his amazing fiancé. Kurt smiled and pulled something out from underneath his shirt. It was the same as Blaine's but bronze, with a dark green ribbon. It had the same picture inside it.

"I thought... So we always have a bit of each other with us..." he said hesitantly.

"I love you so much," was all Blaine managed to get out.

"Is it okay?" Kurt asked softly. Blaine turned to Kurt.

"It's the most perfect thing I have ever seen. Thank you so much." He pulled Kurt in for a warm kiss. Kurt giggled.

"I booked us into the Italian down the street tonight too, and I got us tickets for Phantom of the Opera." Blaine's eyes widened and then he kissed him again.

"I love you so, so much." He kissed him again and again, not quite able to stop.

"It's nothing, honey, really…” Kurt smiled. "I just wanted today to be perfect for you."

"It's completely wonderful," he grinned and nuzzled Kurt's neck. "I really have no idea what I'd do without you."

"You don't have to find out," Kurt promised, kissing Blaine again. He didn't want to go to his audition, he felt bad. Today was supposed to be about Blaine.

"Can you help me put it on?" Blaine asked and gestured towards his present. Kurt nodded. He fastened the small silver clasp and kissed the back of Blaine's neck.

"It looks gorgeous on you,” he breathed.

"You look better," Blaine grinned. "You can wear it for your audition, as a good luck charm."

"We don't need to talk about that," Kurt smiled, kissing Blaine. "Today's about you.” Blaine frowned.

"Today's your audition, too. When's a better time to talk about it than now?"

"What if I screw up?"

"You won't," said Blaine securely. "But if you do... Then we'll talk about it later. You can apply to another school if it happens."

"Okay," Kurt whispered, curling into Blaine's side and cuddling him.

"So, any plans until lunch?" whispered Blaine, gently massaging Kurt's back with his hands while hugging him.

"I kind of forgot about lunch when I was planning the day,” Kurt laughed.

"It's okay," Blaine smiled. "I can make you something." He kissed Kurt's neck gently over and over. Kurt moaned softly.

"You don't have to cook... I can do it..."

"We can cook together..." Blaine whispered and started sucking gently on his neck. "Mmm.." Blaine looked up at him with messy hair and red lips, slick with spit.

"Tonight," Kurt whispered. "After my audition and dinner and the show... We can have sex." He kissed Blaine softly.

"Too long," Blaine groaned. "Too long and you're too sexy... But fine," he sighed and reached up to kiss Kurt. "After dinner." Kurt smiled, standing up and holding out his hand.

"Come on. By the way... Simone kind of ruined the sweater you left on the coach."

"That was my Dalton sweater," Blaine whined. "Bad kitty!" he said firmly to Simone who was looking with big eyes.

"It was your fault... You wouldn't let her sleep in our room," Kurt scolded lightly, picking up the tiny kitten.

"But she did that anyway," Blaine sighed. "So, breakfast?" Kurt nodded happily.

"Definitely."

They cooked breakfast together, laughing and teasing each other all the time. Blaine just wanted to make Kurt feel relaxed for his upcoming audition. After breakfast, the boys walked slowly to NYADA. Kurt was terrified. He hung back as they reached the doors.
"Blaine..." he whispered, terrified. "What if I'm not good enough?"

"They want you, Kurt. You'll be amazing, I know it. And I'll be there all the time. If you feel insecure, look at me, okay?" Kurt nodded, biting his lip and taking Blaine's hand as they walked inside. A girl immediately walked up to them.

"You must be Kurt Hummel! It's an honor to meet you," she grinned and reached out her hand. "I'm Mia! I'm a student here, I just came early this year. The teachers won't shut up about you! They say you're amazing! Is it true that you're a counter tenor?" she rambled, smiling all the time. Blaine squeezed his hand and grinned.

"Yeah," Kurt smiled shyly. "I am... I have an audition today, do you know where I have to go?" He had Blaine's hand in a death grip.

"Should be in the auditorium," she smiled. "It's that way. Through the corridor, first door to the right," she pointed while she spoke. "Good luck!" Kurt smiled his thanks and dragged Blaine along the corridor. Blaine stopped him outside the door.

"Kurt, breathe. You'll be fine," he smiled and stroke Kurt’s cheek.

"Y-Yeah," Kurt whispered shakily. He kissed Blaine tenderly and entered through the doors, trusting Blaine to find his own way to watch.

Four teachers, plus two students were sitting in the room, taking up six out of hundreds of seats. Blaine gave Kurt one more encouraging smile and then went to sit in the back.
"Kurt Hummel?" one of the teachers asked. Kurt blinked into the bright lights, his eyes were still incredibly sensitive.

"Yes,” he said, just loud enough to be heard. "Would you like me to sing or perform the monologue first?"

"You can do the monologue first," she said firmly. She sounded kind, but strict. "You can start.” Nodding, Kurt closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he was the character he was portraying. He delivered the monologue well, only stumbling over a couple of lines and recovering easily. The teachers were clearly impressed.

"Very good, Kurt," the head teacher smiled. "What are you going to sing?"
Blaine was beaming with pride over his fiancé.

"I... I thought maybe The Boy Next Door?"

"Interesting choice," she said, impressed once again. "You may start." Kurt nodded. He winked at Blaine before ripping off his plain black trousers to reveal skin tight gold ones, then he launched into the routine.

Blaine was enchanted by Kurt's movements and singing. By the end of the number, he was clapping wildly and cheering. He also had a rather huge erection... Those pants were just really tight on Kurt.

Kurt was still squinting in the bright lights.

"Did I- Did I do okay?" he asked softly. The teachers and students looked at each other and made a silent decision. The head teacher spoke again.

"Welcome to NYADA, Mr. Hummel!"

Blaine squealed, tears in his eyes. He ran half way to the stage, then stopped to just look at Kurt. He wanted to run up and hug him, but he didn't know if the teachers would like that.

"Thank you," Kurt breathed his eyes wide. "Thank you so much." He waited for the tutors to wave him away before he launched himself off the stage and into Blaine's arms. "I did it..." he whispered. "I actually did it!" Blaine hugged him back and teared up a little.

"I told you that you would! You're so amazing!" Blaine kept holding him tight.

"I love you so much!" Kurt whispered into Blaine's ear, not letting go.

"Love you too," Blaine whispered. He pulled back to look Kurt in the eye. "I'm so, so fucking proud of you!"

"Was I good?" the younger man asked softly.

"Of course! You were utterly amazing, sexy, fantastic, just perfect! I'm so proud to call you mine!" He pulled Kurt in for a warm kiss. He had almost forgotten the fact that his erection was still straining in his pants. Kurt giggled.

"So you liked the pants then?" Blaine nodded dumbly.

"They're really tight..." he forced out.

"Want me to wear them tonight?" Kurt purred against Blaine's neck.

"Y-Yes, please..." Blaine moaned. Then he realized they were still in the auditorium. Luckily, they had spoken really low and the tutors hadn't heard. "Babe, we should go." Kurt nodded. He turned around and smiled at the tutors.

"Thank you so much,” he said politely. "Is it okay if we leave now?" The woman nodded.

"It's fine, we'll mail you the details." Blaine grinned and pulled Kurt out the door.

"Ohmygod!" he grinned. "They loved you!" Kurt smiled modestly.

"I guess I did okay..."

"Okay!? They loved you so much!" Blaine was bouncing with happiness. Kurt laughed.

"They seemed to... I messed up a little on my monologue though...." Blaine wrapped his arms around Kurt again and hugged him close.

"Everyone make mistakes. You're only human. They saw potential in you and you were amazing." Kurt nodded, laying his head on Blaine's shoulder.

”Thank you for believing in me."

"I always believe in you," Blaine said and kissed Kurt's forehead. He let him go and grabbed his hand. "How about lunch to celebrate?" he grinned.

"Sounds perfect... But today's still more about your birthday than my audition."

"We'll just have to celebrate some more," Blaine smiled. "Come on, let's find some fancy restaurant and get some champagne and way too expensive food." Kurt smiled, swinging their arms between them.

"Sounds perfect!"

 

They walked through New York to a restaurant and sat down. They ordered food and champagne. When it came in, Blaine poured it up in their glasses and grinned.

"Cheers! To future Mr. Broadway, to me on my birthday, to New York, and to us," Blaine smiled. "To us for having survived everything. To being strong."

"To us," Kurt smiled, clinking his glass.

A few months later, Kurt was sat nervous on the floor of the hotel room in which he was getting ready for the wedding. He was wearing a soft tail coat and trousers in a deep luxurious, dark blue. His waist coat was a pale silvery blue and that, along with his crisp white shirt, contrasted beautifully against his pale skin. He was sat cross legged in front of the mirror, creasing his suit and chewing his nails when the door opened and Nick, his best man, entered. 
"I look stupid,” he muttered unhappily. His soft chestnut hair was flopping in his eyes, he couldn't make it do what he wanted it to today. Nick just smiled and walked up to him to pull him in for a long hug.

"The hair needs adjustments," he admitted. "But other than that, you look perfect." Kurt sat on the edge of the bed and let Nick get to work on his hair.

"Have you seen Blaine? Is he okay? Has he changed his mind?" Nick stilled his hands and sat down next to Kurt quietly.

"Why would he ever change his mind?" Nick whispered.

"Because he's better than me," Kurt whined softly. "And I just keep waiting for him to realize it. Weren't you worried about Jeff when you got married?"

"No," Nick said. "I know he loves me and I love him. Didn't you say Blaine is your soul mate?" Kurt nodded slowly.

"He is. He's everything to me..."

"Soul mates are everything to each other," Nick said. "He loves you just as much as you love him. I thought you had come to understand that after like three years together?" he frowned.

"Sometimes I get stuck in my old mind set." Kurt shrugged uncertainly. "Have you seen him today?"

"Yeah. He was with Cooper and Jeff. I think his mom is coming soon as well... He's just as nervous as you are," Nick admitted.

"Does he look good in his suit? I picked it..." It was the same cut as Kurt's, but it was classic black with a silver waist coat.

"He looks great," Nick reassured. He continued working on Kurt's hair until it looked perfect. "There, all done and ready." Kurt nodded nervously. He crossed to the dresser and pulled out a small velvet box.

"Will you take this to him? It's something new and blue."

"It's not the ring, is it? Because I'm pretty sure you already gave that to me..." Kurt shook his head and laughed.

"No. Take a look if you want." The younger boy watched Nick open the box. Inside was a gorgeous lapel pin. It was identical to the bronze Warbler pins they'd worn at school, but it was silver with sapphire eyes. "The sapphire's are pretty poor quality,” he admitted. "But it was all I could get on the money I saved up from my job." Kurt had gotten himself a night and weekend job at a local Italian restaurant. Nick grinned.

"He'll love it. I'll go give it to him! Stay here, I'll be back in a minute!"


"Dude, relax!" Cooper tried, but Blaine just shook his head, he was really nervous.
"What if I screw up? I need to make this perfect for him!"

"Squirt... it'll be perfect because he loves you. Now sit down, shut up and tie your bow tie. Now... Do we gel your hair down or not?"
"Not," Nick grinned, slipping into the room. "You know Kurt loves your curls... Hi baby." He turned and kissed his husband quickly before turning back to Blaine. "Kurt asked me to give you this." He held out the box. "He says that it's something new and blue." Blaine frowned and opened to box slowly. His breath caught in his throat as he saw the gorgeous pin.

"It- It's so beautiful..." he breathed. Nick smiled as Cooper pinned it to Blaine's lapel.

"He saved up all the money from his job." Blaine stared at Nick with wide eyes.

"How do I even deserve him?"

"I just had this conversation with Kurt. Don't tell me I have to have it with you, too…" Blaine sighed.

"No, I know. It's just... I feel so lucky. Kurt's... He's just perfect," Blaine smiled. "And this is the best day of my life."

"It's the best day of his, too," Jeff smiled. "So... You still need something old and something borrowed..."

"I should get back to Kurt," said Nick and kissed Jeff before leaving again.
"Yeah... What would that be though?" asked Blaine. Cooper pulled a pocket watch from his pocket and attached it to Blaine's jacket.

"That's mine. Granddad left me it when he died, so it's old and borrowed." He ruffled Blaine's curls. "Happy?"

"Yeah," Blaine grinned. He stood up and pulled Cooper in for a hug. "Thank you for being here today."

"Of course. I was wrong about Kurt... You two are perfect together." He smiled, holding his brother tightly.

"I'm glad you finally realized that," Blaine chuckled, pulling back from the hug and wiping his eyes. Cooper kissed Blaine's forehead.

"I have to go and get Mom, I'll be right back."  Jeff watched Cooper leave and turned to Blaine.

"Did you get Kurt anything?"

"I- Yeah," Blaine stuttered. "Fuck! I should have told Nick to take it with him! C-Could you go leave it to him?" When Jeff nodded, Blaine pulled out a box from his bag. Inside, there was a silver necklace with K&B on it. Jeff looked at it and Blaine eyed him nervously. "Is it bad?" The blonde shook his head.

"It’s beautiful. Why? Are you worried?”

"It's just... Very simple? Maybe? I don't know..." Blaine bit his lip.

"It's perfect," Jeff smiled. "I'll go and give it to him."

 

Jeff walked over to Kurt's room and knocked softly before stepping in.

"Hey! Blaine has something for you too, Kurt," he smiled and handed him the box. Kurt opened the box and gasped happily, sliding the silver pendant onto the same chord as his locket, which he never took off.

"It's perfect,” he smiled.

"I'll tell Blaine you think so," Jeff grinned and slipped out the door again.
"Time to go now... You feeling okay?" asked Nick. Kurt turned his terrified eyes to Nick.

"What if I screw up? What if I trip and fall?" Nick chuckled and hugged Kurt tight to himself.

"You won't." He sighed happily. "Thank you for everything, Kurt."

"What are you thanking me for?" Kurt asked, returning the hug.

"For always being there for me. For supporting me in everything. For being my best friend," said Nick, holding Kurt tight. "I love you, little brother."

"Love you too, big brother," Kurt whispered. "You're the only family I have."

"And Blaine," Nick smiled, tears in his eyes. He took Kurt's hand and squeezed it. "You'll do amazing. Just relax and well, enjoy it. It's a once in a lifetime experience after all." Kurt nodded and walked with Nick. The minute he caught sight of Blaine, his breath caught in his throat. Blaine was gorgeous.

Blaine met Kurt's eyes and he froze where he was. Kurt had never looked more perfect. Most of his weight was back and he looked stunning in his clothes. They were meant to walk in from two different aisles and meet in the middle, but Blaine found it very hard not to just go kiss his soon-to-be-husband. Kurt watched Blaine walking jerkily down the aisle. The minute they met, he grasped his hands and kissed him softly.

"I love you,” Kurt breathed.

"I love you too," Blaine whispered. Everyone in the church stood up as they walked hand in hand. They arrived to the front of the church and the priest started talking. Soon enough, it was time for their home made vows. Kurt was set to start.

"Blaine," Kurt breathed, staring deeply into Blaine's eyes. "Before I met you, I didn't think I'd amount to anything. I thought I'd die alone and in the dark. But you met me and you let me hope. You let me dream. You gave me a future, you gave me sight, but mainly, you gave me love. You made me believe that I was worth loving. I love you so, so much and I can't imagine my life without you. I don't- I don't believe in God, but I'm so thankful to whoever brought you into my life." Blaine had to stop himself from crying. He just squeezed Kurt's hands and smiled at him before starting.

"Kurt, you are everything to me. Before I met you, I felt numb. It was like I was a walking dead. But then, the day you came into my life, I felt lighter. We've had so many firsts and we still have so many more to finish. You are the best thing in my life and I will hold on to you forever, I promise that. I'll love you until the day I die, and even after that."

The rest of the wedding was a blur for Kurt, and the next thing he knew, the priest was telling them that they could kiss. Blaine smiled, turned to Kurt completely and put his hand on the back of his neck to pull him close. He kissed him warm and slow while the small audience burst into applause. Kurt pulled away and stared at the ring on his finger.

"We're married, Blaine. Married!" Blaine pulled Kurt in for a hug.

"I know," he whispered. His eyes were filled with tears as he pulled back and kissed Kurt again.

"You're my everything," Kurt breathed, barely even remembering that they were surrounded by people.

"I love you so much," Blaine said and kissed Kurt again and again.
"Seriously, guys!" Cooper called. Blaine chuckled and finally pulled away to face their family and friends. Kurt was instantly knocked off his feet as Jeff flung himself at him. He hit the ground hard, but the blonde didn't even notice, he just hugged Kurt hard. Blaine was greeted by a slightly less violent hug from Cooper.

"Congrats, Squirt!" Blaine smiled and hugged him back. Kurt held his hand out to Blaine, silently asking to be helped up, but Jeff wasn't letting him go that easily.

"Jeff!" Blaine whined. "Come on, dude!" He pushed Jeff off of Kurt and helped his husband up on his feet. "Are you okay?" he asked.

"Fine," Kurt laughed, rubbing at his hip. "A little bruised, but okay." He relaxed as Nick drew him into a soft hug.

The hugs and congratulations continued the entire day. The reception was lovely and finally, it was time for their first dance. Blaine walked up to Kurt, took his hand and kissed it.

"May I have this dance?"

"Always," Kurt smiled softly, tightening his slender fingers around Blaine's hand. "I'm so happy, Blaine."

"I am, too," Blaine grinned. He pressed Kurt close and they slowly started dancing. Kurt dropped his head to Blaine's shoulder, closed his eyes and relaxed into the perfect moment. Blaine put one finger under Kurt's chin to angle his head up. That kiss was probably the best one they had ever had. It was like time stopped. Blaine could almost feel his bond with Kurt growing stronger. Kurt moaned into the kiss.

"This one's for you, Coop!" Blaine grinned and kissed Kurt hard, laughing against his lips as Cooper made a weird sound.

"Blaaaaine!" Cooper whined. "I don't care if you're married. I don't want to see my baby brother making out with someone!"

"Then don't watch," Blaine teased and kissed Kurt again. Eventually, then went back to dancing and the rest of the guests were dancing as well.

"Blaine?" a soft voice asked. "Can I borrow you?" Blaine turned to his mother and nodded with a smile.

"Is that okay, Kurt?"

"Of course," Kurt smiled. He retreated to the head table and sat with his chin in his hands, watching Blaine and his mother laugh and dance together. He suddenly found an empty feeling in the pit of his stomach and he tried to force himself not to cry as he watched his husband and his mother. He realized he was jealous. Marie glanced over at Kurt.

"Blaine, go dance with Cooper or something," she smiled and let him go. She walked up to Kurt. "Sweetie, do you want to dance?" Kurt's eyes widened.

"I... Really?"

"Of course," she smiled warmly. "We're family." Kurt smiled and took her hand, walking with her to the dance floor.

They danced and laughed for ten minutes until it was time for Marie to give a speech. She grabbed a microphone and started speaking.

"I would like to start off with saying a few words to Kurt. Thank you. Thank you for taking care of my son. I know you say you don't, but you have taken care of him. I couldn't be happier with who Blaine turned out with." Kurt blushed, leaning into Blaine's side. Blaine grinned and pressed a kiss to Kurt's forehead.
"And Blaine," Marie continued. "I-I'm so proud of you. So proud to call you my son." And then she was finished. She gave Blaine and Kurt a hug while Nick grabbed the microphone.

"Hey! So, I'm Kurt's best man... I know that I'm supposed to tell embarrassing stories, but I'll leave that to Cooper. I just wanted to thank both boys for being my friends, and Kurt for being my brother. I've seen you both grow up so much in the last three years. And I've never seen two men more suited for each other." They thanked Nick, then Cooper took over.

"Well, I was going to tell some embarrassing stories, but I decided not to. So I won't tell you about when Blaine masturbated for the first time and I walked in on him," Cooper winked and Blaine groaned. Kurt giggled and stroked his hand through Blaine's curls soothingly.

"Seriously though, I'm sorry that I doubted you two. You're perfect together and I'm so happy you found each other." He raised his glass. "To Kurt and Blaine!" Everyone raised their glasses and toasted the boys who were staring lovingly at each other.

After the reception, they headed back to the hotel to stay there for one night before going to South Africa the next day. Blaine was so happy. He just couldn't how far they had come. And they still had a long road ahead of them together, filled with love and happiness.

End Notes: That was the end of the story. But, there is an epilogue coming up really soon! :D So stay tuned and keep reviewing :) //Helen & Helen
