“I feel bad for not telling Taylor… she learns everything after Jack does.” Blaine said with a small laugh, shaking his head. “No, I wouldn’t have. It needed to be cheesy and planned out and romantic and everything. How I found the ring? Oh, remember that errand I ran with Reed a few days ago? Yeah, I took him with me to help pick one out.”
“Well i told Taylor before i told anyone else so she was a bit happier about that” Kurt smiled, Blaine obviously didn’t understand his question. “No i didn’t mean the ring, you didn’t propose yesterday, that was two days ago, i asked you two questions the first one was ‘how did you find it?’ and the second one was ‘do you regret it?’ you only answered the second question” Kurt was a little worried incase Blaine was deliberately avoiding talking about it because he really did regret it.
Blaine gave him a confused look. He replayed Kurt’s question in his mind, trying to figure out what he meant. “Ooooooohhhhh, I get your question now. How did I find what we did after our shower? Is that what you’re asking?” Blaine wanted to make sure he knew what the question was before he answered it.
Kurt sat twisting the ring on his finger, he began to feel bad, what if he did regret it? What if he didn’t actually want to do it and he only did it because Kurt wanted to and thats why he’s avoiding answering the question? He didn’t say anything he just nodded at Blaine’s question.
“It was…” Blaine paused, letting out a tiny laugh. “It was perfect. I always thought we would talk about it for days before and plan stuff out and there would be candles and roses and music… but this was beyond amazing. I… I loved it. I really did. It would have been not even the smallest fraction better if we did it another way. I found it perfect.” Blaine stopped, suddenly becoming worried. What if Kurt only asked because he didn’t like it and hoped Blaine would say the same?
Kurt was relieved when Blaine told him what he thought of it, it was just like he thought, he heard him stop and look worried. “I did ask you after we did it and you didn’t answer, you just asked me what i thought and i told you which if it makes you feel better i can repeat myself” He remembered what their conversation was about after it but Blaine didn’t? He thought he’d at least remember what he thought of it.
“You don’t have to, I remember what you said. But have your thoughts changed about it at all? I mean, did you think about it while I was asleep and decide something else? Because if you did, I think… I want to know.” Blaine wanted to know if he was terrible and if Kurt at least found it okay and Blaine didn’t hurt him.
Kurt was a bit hurt, it was obvious Blaine didn’t remember. He told everything he needed to, he told him what he thought about the whole thing, what he thought about Blaine during it, if it hurt or not, whether they do it again or not. “No i still feel the same way, i’d do it again. My thoughts haven’t changed at all, not one bit”
Blaine let out a sigh of relief. “I remember that you told me that earlier, I just wanted to make sure you didn’t change your mind about anything. Because if you did I would want you to tell me.” Blaine smiled and pulled Kurt closer to him. “I love you so much Kurt Hummel.”
Kurt wasn’t entirely convinced but there wasn’t really anything he could do so he just smiled at Blaine was pulled closer to him. “I haven’t changed my mind, there is no way i could change my mind about something so amazing as that. It was incredible, just incase you did forget. You were absolutely amazing, i just thought i’d remind you” he smiled up at him.
Blaine blushed a little bit when Kurt said he was amazing. “Thanks. But I’m amazing at everything, so it comes as no surprise to me.” Blaine teased in attempt to lighten the mood a little bit. “If I don’t answer one of your questions like that again, tell me and I will. I don’t avoid answering your questions ever, okay? We’re both completely honest with each other.”
Kurt smiled as Blaine said he was amazing at everything. “Everything but Wii baseball, thats my game” he took one of Blaine’s hands and kissed it. “It just seemed like you were avoiding it” he shrugged. “I like us being completely honest with each other. I love you so much Blaine Anderson” he hugged him, he was feeling better now about it all.
“Wii baseball. You’ve got beaten there.” Blaine teased and kissed the top of Kurt’s shoulder. Kurt was still sitting in his lap, and Blaine grinned when Kurt kissed his hand. “I love you moooooooooooooooooore.” He said with a laugh, taking his free hand and tapping Kurt’s nose.
Kurt got comfortable on Blaine’s lap as he felt his shoulder being kissed. He began playing with his hand after he kissed it, he intertwined their hands and used his other one to play with the fingers on the hand he was holding. Kurt shook his head. “Its not even possible for you to love me more” he smiled as he scrunched his nose up when Blaine tapped it.
“It is possible, because it’s happening right now.” Blaine teased, letting his arms wrap around Kurt more as he played with his hand. Hr had completely forgotten that they were listening to music and was a little surprised to hear music in his ear. It took him a little while to recognize the song, and he grinned when he did. “Mulan. I love that movie.”
Kurt shook his head. “No its not possible, its impossible. I love you soooo much more” He said as Blaine’s arms wrapped more around him as he played with his hand. Kurt had completely forgotten also that there was music playing, he recognised it after Blaine said what movie it was from. “I like it too, its pretty good” he snuggled himself back into Blaine’s chest.
“It’s possible. Because I love you a million times more.” Blaine let his chin lightly rest on Kurt’s shoulder, leaning the side of his head into Kurt’s neck. He softly sang along before a sharp pain went through his head. Blaine tried to stay normal and not show that it hurt so he didn’t worry Kurt at all. “Mulan is the best.”
“No no no i love you a billion plus one whatever you say more” Kurt laughed as Blaine rested his chin on his shoulder, he felt his head lean into his neck. “I don’t know about it being the best but its a good movie” he turned his head slightly and kissed Blaine’s cheek before turning his head back to the position it was in before.
“Nope. I love you more. Just give up the fight, Hummel.” Blaine laughed, using Kurt’s last name when things got competitive. He grinned when Kurt kissed his cheek, another pain going through his head when Kurt went back to how they were sitting before. Blaine was thankful Kurt couldn’t tell his head was hurting, he didn’t want to worry him. But he remembered how he promised to be honest, and squeezed Kurt’s hand to let him know his head hurt.
Kurt looked up at Blaine when he felt a squeeze on his hand, his face was worried, he thought the pain was going or had stopped since he hadn’t had anything for ages or maybe Blaine just didn’t tell him. But if he wasn’t telling him before why was he doing it now? He squeezed his hand back to let him know he understood. “I’ll never give up the fight, you’ll just have to back down because i love you so much more”
“Like I said, Hummel, I love you about a trillion times more than you love me. It’s a fight you’ll never win.” Blaine laughed a little bit and got himself and Kurt more comfortable as they listened to music on Blaine’s phone. He picked it up and handed it to Kurt. “Here. You choose a song. You already know the passcode spells your name, so just unlock it and choose a song.”
“Like i already said i love you a billion plus one whatever you say, i love you. I think i’ll win this one Anderson” Kurt looked at Blaine and took the phone from him, he had never actually told Blaine that he knew the passcode spelt his name, he pretended like he didn’t know. “It spells my name?” he pretended to be shocked.
“You won’t, Hummel. Andersons always win. Even if you will be one soon, I’ll still win.” Blaine teased, looking confused that Kurt didn’t know his passcode spelled his name. “You didn’t know that? Oh, I thought you did. But yeah, my passcode spells Kurt. So now you know.”
“Well its time that the Andersons move off their pedestal and let the Hummels have a victory or two” Kurt grinned, he laughed at Blaine’s confusion. “I did know really, i knew when i first had to put in the code when you told me the digits. Mine’s Rosy, since i can only have four digits” he continued to play with Blaine’s hand with one hand and the other was looking through Blaine’s music. “You have the Harry Potter soundtrack on here?” he said looking at the soundtracks to all six films so far.
“But you won’t be a Hummel for long. And then the Andersons will always win! Ha!” Blaine teased as one of Kurt’s hands played with his. “You knew? Okay good, I didn’t want to seem obsessed or anything, even if I kinda am. And yours is Rosy? That’s awesome.” Blaine laughed when asked if he had the Harry Potter soundtrack. “This is me we’re talking about here. Of course I have the Harry Potter soundtrack.”
“Well the Hummel’s will win until i’m an Anderson and then the Andersons can have their crown back” Kurt laughed as he continued to play with Blaine’s hand. “No i thought it was cute, i like it. At least its something we don’t forget” Kurt smiled at Blaine. “I know you do, i can see them here, i didn’t know they had a soundtrack, it isn’t a musical so why do they need one?”
Blaine began to laugh when Kurt asked why Harry Potter had a soundtrack. “All movies have soundtracks, love. Not just musicals. Which reminds me, I need to ask you something about New York. How long are we going to stay there before the ceremony?” Blaine asked as Kurt continued to play with his hand.
Kurt felt very stupid asking that question, duh of course all movies had soundtracks, Blaine always made his brain mush so his intelligence was gone when Blaine was around. He looked at him when he asked about New York. “We can stay there a few days before if you want, why?” he asked curiously.
“Because I’m taking you to see as many Broadway shows as possible. And taking you shopping in all the millions of stores they have there.” Blaine explained with a smile, hoping Kurt would be okay with that plan. “And I want to cuddle with you in Central Park at night when it’s cold and I have to hold you close to keep you warm.”
Kurt’s face lit up when Blaine said what they were going to do, he was so happy and excited i didn’t know what to say. His spare hand went on Blaine’s neck and pulled him in to kiss him. “We are sooo staying more than a few days, my god i love you so much” he kissed him again a little big longer this time. “I love the sound of all of them soo much, i don’t know which sounds more exciting. And you will be able to cuddle me in Central Park at night and keep me warm, i like the sound of that one so much”
Blaine grinned when he saw Kurt light up at his plan and kissed Kurt back whenever he was kissed. “I love you so much too. Sooooo much. And we are definitely doing all of them. I want to take you to Phantom and Wicked and Sound of Music and whatever you want to see. We can see as many as we want since we can see both matinees and regular shows. I’m taking you shopping during the day and taking you to Central Park after the shows. So our day would go like this: shopping, broadway, cuddling in Central Park. Sound good?”
Kurt was completely speechless, he just had the hugest smile on his face. He nodded when Blaine said “sound good” so he didn’t think he was being ignored. Kurt hugged hisfianc�e tight, it all sounded so real before two days ago them getting married was just a dream and now its reality. He kissed him again, a bit longer than before and with some passion to show his appreciation. “You’re amazing” he said when he could finally speak. “How are you even real?”
Blaine raised his hand to cup Kurt’s face as he returned the kiss, giving it as much and possibly more than Kurt was giving him. When he pulled away he grinned at Kurt when he asked how he was real. “I ask myself the same question all the time.” Blaine teased before pulling him in for another kiss.
Kurt kept kissing him giving as much as he could. He heard the doorhandle rattle, he pulled out of the kiss and leaned back against Blaine as Lily entered the room. She was really early, it was only…. quarter past five. She looked at them. “You’re awake?”
“No we’re fast asleep dreaming that we’re skipping through the flowers” Kurt replied sarcastically. It was obvious that they were awake.
Blaine didn’t even try to keep from laughing when Kurt said they were dreaming about skipping through flowers. He wrapped both arms around Kurt as Lily walked more into the room. She walked over and took his temperature, not responding to what Kurt said. “100.9. It’s gone down, which is a great sign.”
Kurt held the arms that were wrapped around him, he grinned at Blaine who was laughing behind him. He smiled widely at Blaine when he heard his temperature was back down and he squeezed gently on his arms to say he was proud of him for getting it down. “So when can he go home?”
“With any luck, today. Of course he’ll have to take the prescribed medication and stay in bed but if we can get this temperature down a bit more then i can’t see why not” Lily walked to the window and pulled up the blinds, she turned the television off before looking at Kurt. “You okay there? You look pale”
“I always look pale”
Blaine was grinning when he heard he might be able to go home that day, but it quickly faded when Lily said Kurt looked pale. He did look a bit paler than usual…. oh no. Oh no oh no oh no. Did Blaine get Kurt sick? “Do you feel okay?” Blaine asked, his arms slowly starting to unwrap from Kurt out of concern.
“I’m fine” Kurt lied, the sick feeling was back again. “I’m always pale” Lily went to go and take Kurt’s temperature but he refused. “No no i’m not sick okay i’m fine, i don’t need you sticking your thermometer where i don’t want it” Lily raised her eyebrows and looked at Blaine, she took a couple of notes down on her clipboard and put Blaine’s medicine on the side for him before walking out.
Blaine unwrapped his arms from Kurt and looked at him, filled with concern and worry. He slipped out from under Kurt and kept on looking at him. “Kurt. Do you feel okay? Are… are you sick?” Blaine looked down at his hands and started to fidget with them. He felt disgusting.
Kurt felt horrible when he felt Blaine’s arms unwrap from around him and then Blaine pull himself from him completely. He would have taken Blaine’s hands when he startedfidgetingwith them but he was worried that Blaine would pull them away. “I’m fine” he said again, he didn’t want Blaine to worry or feel guilty in any way. And anyway it wasn’t serious and it was going to pass so he didn’t think Blaine needed to worry about him when he should be trying to get himself better.
Blainr looked up at Kurt when he said he was fine. “Are you sure?” Blaine asked, putting both hands on Kurt’s cheeks. “Because I don’t want to have gotten you sick… I…. I wouldn’t be able to deal with myself if I did… you feel fine? You sure?” His thumbs began to stroke Kurt’s cheek.
“I said i was didn’t i? Yes i’m sure i’m fine” Kurt said as Blaine began to stroke his cheeks. “You haven’t got me sick i’m fine”
Blaine breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, pulling Kurt back into his lap and wrapping his arms around him. He was beginning to worry that he had gotten Kurt sick, and was beyond happy that Kurt was fine. He gave Kurt a squeeze before picking up the headphones and putting one in each of their ears.
Kurt smiled as Blaine pulled him back onto his lap wrapping his arms back around him. He felt Blaine squeeze and put the headphone back in his ear. He snuggled back into Blaine, glad he convinced Blaine that he was fine. He didn’t like lying to him especially since they’d just made a promise to be honest with each other.
“You never chose a song.” Blaine said with a laugh, handing Kurt his phone again. “You know what the code is…” Blaine settled down into the bed more, getting more comfortable before helping Kurt get more comfortable as he sat in his lap. Blaine leaned his head back and closed his eyes, arms still wrapped around Kurt and patiently waiting for Kurt to choose a song.
Kurt took the phone and went to put in the code, he turned round to see Blaine leaning back with his eyes closed. He felt guilty for lying to him and didn’t want to do it anymore. He put the phone down. “I can’t”
Blaine opened his eyes to see Kurt looking back at him after he said he can’t. “Can’t what? The code just spells your name….” he saw the phone was down on the bed and looked back up at Kurt, confused.
“No its not that, i can’t lie to you” Kurt looked down at his hands. “I am sick okay” he said quietly fiddling with his hands and not looking at Blaine. He knew Blaine was going to feel bad and he didn’t want him to but he needed to know the truth.
Blaine looked from Kurt, who was fiddling with his hands, and himself. He felt absolutely disgusting that he could do something like that to Kurt. “Kurt I…. I’m so sorry. Really, really sorry. I understand if you….. if you want to go back to the house, I get it. You probably won’t get better around me… only worse. And I don’t want you feeling worse…. I’m…. I’m so sorry Kurt. I shouldn’t have let myself….” Blaine rambled in, worried and guilty.
“Its my own fault not yours, i knew this could happen and i still stayed and i’m going to stay until you get out” He didn’t look up from his hands. “I’m not leaving you and i’m not going back to the house either until you get there. I’m not that bad i’ve just been sick a couple of times, its nothing compared to you. Stop apologizing okay? Its not your fault, its mine, just like me hitting my head was my fault, just like you being here is my fault. All this is my fault and i’m sorry”
“But you wouldn’t even be feeling sick if I didn’t ask you to come sit with me or snuggle with me… or even just kiss me…. you could’ve sat in the chair and just talked to me instead… it’s not your fault. It’s mine, I’m the one who’s sick and I’m the one who asked you to sit with me and stuff… and I’M sorry.”
