"What if they don't accept our offer Blaine?" Kurt asked pacing the kitchen of the loft.
"They probably won't outright refuse it they'll probably make a counter offer, which we'll agree to."
"But what if they get insulted? What if they look at it and are like 'This is way below our asking price! Screw those cheap bastards!' "
"They won't be insulted; Joanie said our offer was more than fair."
"We should've have offered more."
"Kurt, it'll be fine."
"What if we don't get it Blaine? It'd be bad enough we'd have to try to find another house but we'd lose our venue too."
I sighed. "I know Sexy...maybe we could beg whoever did get it to let us get married there anyway. We'll just show up there in our suites with all our guests and they'd have to let us get married there."
"I know what you're doing, you're trying to distract me by being silly."
"Well it's either be silly or fuck you and I have to go to work in ten minutes."
"Fine, go sing to people and leave me here alone to worry about the house."
"Kurt."
"I'm sorry I'm being ridiculous, go."
"Are you sure? You could call up and fake laryngitis for me."
"No no, it's fine. I promise."
"Ok, just remember we might not hear anything for a couple of days, so try not to stress yourself out too much."
"I'll try."
"I love you."
"I love you too; have a good day at work."
I gave him his kisses, lingering on his lips a bit longer than normal hoping to help him relax a little.
"I'll see you when I get home." I told him grabbing my guitar and heading out the door.
After playing a few songs I took a five minute break and was drinking a bottle of water while checking to see if Kurt had texted me about the house when I heard someone approach me.
"Excuse me...hi...I just wanted to say that you are really good and I come here just to hear you sing."
"Oh wow, thanks."
"I ...I was wondering if maybe....you'd like to get dinner with me sometime this week?"
"I'm flattered but taken and gay." I said flashing her my engagement ring.
"Oh...um...sorry."
"It's fine."
"Don't worry about it sweetie it happens all the time." Wendy the barista told the girl "In fact I myself hit on him when he first started, that is until his man came in and they started making out in front of me, which by the way I totally didn't mind. Sorry."
I shrugged. "Don't blame you we're fucking hot, especially Kurt."
After I finished talking to the girls I went back on and finished my set when I was done for the day I waved to the baristas and headed home. When I got home Kurt practically jumped into my arms.
"Hello to you too Sexy."
"We got it!"
"We got it?"
"Joanie called and said they had another offer so I told her to increase our offer and then she called me back an hour later and we got it!"
"Holy shit!"
"She said she was surprised how fast it was but she thinks the fact we can pay them the full amount outright gave them incentive."
"When can we move in?"
"Not until next month they won't be able to move into their new place until then."
"That's ok though, we'll still be in there before the wedding and we can finally give all the vendors an address to send everything to."
"We need to celebrate I bought us some champagne."
Of course as soon as we popped the cork Finn and Rachel appeared.
"Ooh...champagne! What are we celebrating?" Rachel asked grabbing a glass.
"We got the house!" Kurt told her.
"That's fantastic! I mean we're going to miss having you guys here but I'm really happy for you!" Rachel told us.
"I'm not going to miss the loud sex at all hours though." Finn added.
"Oh my god! We won't have to worry about being quiet pretty soon." Kurt told me.
Finn just about choked on his champagne. "That's quiet?"
"They were much louder before you moved in." Rachel told him.
"Holy fuck."
"I need to call dad and Carole! They're going to be so excited!" Kurt said draining his glass and then grabbing his phone and heading to our room a few minutes later Rachel followed, I'm pretty sure she wanted to scope out our room and figure out what she could do with it once we moved out.
"When can we see the place?" Finn asked.
"Well we can't move in until next month, so I guess then."
"Congrats dude that's really cool."
"You guys must be pretty happy that you'll have this place to yourselves."
"We're definitely going to miss you guys though."
"It's not like you're never going to see us though."
"True plus we're family so it's not like I could get rid of you guys even if I wanted to...not that I do want to get rid of you I mean 'cuz I don't."
"I get what you're saying Finn."
"Cool."
"So now that you and Rachel are going to have the place to yourselves have you thought about...?" I gestured to my engagement ring.
"Yeah....I don't know, I mean we were engaged in high school, did Kurt tell you that?"
I shook my head.
"Well we were but I guess we were too young and it didn't work out...I know we're older now but I don't think we're ready for that ya know? Like if we got engaged again and broke up again, I think that be it for us so I think we need to wait until we know for sure that we're both ready. Does that make sense?"
"That makes perfect sense."
"Cool...how did you know you and Kurt were ready?"
"Honestly I knew I wanted to marry Kurt from the second I laid eyes on him and we started discussing marriage pretty quickly after we got together. When I decided to propose I just knew the time was right, it's hard to describe but like I just knew it was time. Sorry that's not very helpful is it?"
"No I think it is, you're saying that I shouldn't even worry about it and when the time is right I'll know."
"Exactly."
"But like how did you know he was ready?"
"I didn't, not really, I was pretty sure he was ready and I was pretty sure he'd say yes but there was part of me that was worried he'd think it was too soon and tell me no."
"But he didn't."
"Thank god...I think this is something you need to discuss with Rachel, trust me when I tell you things are so much easier if you are completely honest and communicate with each other."
He nodded. "Thanks little bro."
I swallowed hard even though I had nothing in my mouth. "You're welcome."
