Author's Notes: During a romantic sunset picnic, Blaine comes to a realization.
The weather is finally starting to warm up again and Blaine has happily continued his tradition of picnic lunches with Kurt when the weather and time allows. One night, Kurt tells Blaine he has to stay late for some student meetings and Blaine decides to surprise him with dinner. He meets Kurt outside his office and they head down to what's become their rock by the lake. The wind has picked up a little bit as the sun is setting, but the temperature is holding steady.
Blaine unpacks their dinner as Kurt fills him on the latest antics of his one trouble student. He's a good kid, but he just doesn't seem to be applying himself and occasionally mouths off in class. They've discussed him before and had come to the conclusion that there is something of an identity crisis going on. However, as they both know, that is not something that can be rushed.
They eat in silence once everything is unpacked, comfortable enough with each other that times like these are not awkward. Blaine turns to look at Kurt and catches him with his eyes closed against the flaming sunset. His face is lit by the golden orange sun and Blaine's breath catches in his throat at the sight. He's suddenly overcome with emotion and he knows.
He's in love with Kurt Hummel.
The realization makes him smile and he can't help but let out a small huff of a laugh. Kurt turns to look at him.
"What?" Kurt asks.
"Nothing," Blaine says, shaking his head. "Just… happy."
"Me, too," Kurt agrees and leans over to press a gentle kiss to Blaine's lips.
He'll tell Kurt later. Right now, he just wants to bask in the feeling of being in love.
