Later that night while he’s flipping through some random channels, he catches a snippet of words mid-sentence that make him pause, a talk show host relays “-- twenty percent of married men have cheated on their spouses.”

Even though Kurt’s sure this information isn’t very reliable, it prompts him to think about that old married couple again and general divorce rates. Surely, whether people choose to believe it or not, there comes a point in every marriage where someone wants to walk out the door. People are quick to admire couples who have been together nearly their entire lives, but leave their own marriages at the drop of a dime.

Having a lifelong companion, some people claim should be easy as breathing, but if you’re not able to overcome threats to your marriage how will you ever know if your husband or wife really wants to be at your side or if they’re willing to fight for you? Somewhere in his vows, Kurt’s sure he said “for better, for worse” not “for better, and if things get too bad, I’ll quit.” Not to say people always have bad reasons for divorce, but Kurt really doesn’t think he has a good enough reason. Not when he still loves Blaine and Blaine loves him, and not when Blaine isn’t giving him any more reason to.

“Babe?” Blaine pops his head into the bedroom door spotting Kurt, before walking inside.

“Hi.” Kurt smiles, he’s while sitting at the edge of the bed.

“What ya’ watchin’?” Blaine bounces onto the bed playfully, to lay next to Kurt.

Kurt turns back to the television, “Some program about cheating spouses.”

Blaine stiffens for a second, before turning to look at the television then back at Kurt. He hoists himself up on his elbows and begins to trace his fingers on his husband’s back, frowning. Kurt doesn’t back away; he just seems too engrossed in the television’s hue.

“What’s it saying?” Blaine doesn’t even look at the show’s host; instead he’s staring at Kurt’s reactions.

Kurt sighs at Blaine’s question and reaches for the remote, he clicks the power button and the TV goes black, “Nothing.”

“It’s okay if you want to watch it Kurt.” Blaine looks worriedly, “I was honestly curious.”

“It’s fine Blaine, don’t worry. I was just channel surfing and stopped for a minute.”

Blaine blinks a few times before sitting up straight, he lets his hands rest on his knees, “Are you sure you’re okay?”

“I’m more than okay.” Kurt smiles reassuringly, and then pecks Blaine on the lips.

Blaine blushes like a teenager, “Did I mention I love you today?” his eyes gloss over for a second.

“Only five times, but I do like to be reminded” Kurt remarks.

“Well, there you have it. I love you.” He kisses Kurt’s shoulder, “I love you.” he kisses his neck, “I love you.”

Kurt giggles before reaching around Blaine’s neck and pulling him in. He sends his mouth over Blaine’s and smiles against his lips before moving against him.

“Hmm.” Blaine hums in approval before reciprocating the kiss.

Kurt gives Blaine and rough shove into the mattress then rolls over him. Hands are everywhere and moaning ensues before Blaine speaks up, “Kurt.” he whines, “Kurt... Lily’s still awake.”

Kurt sends his lips into a pout before rolling off his husband, “Fine.”

“It’s okay baby, we can do something after her bedtime...” Blaine trails off suggestively.

“I’d like that.” Kurt purrs.

Blaine chuckles before grabbing Kurt’s hand and walking out of their room. They set up the dinning room table and call Lily into the kitchen to eat as a family.

Things aren’t perfect in Blaine and Kurt’s relationship, but they’re holding strong. There are days where steamy arguments land Blaine back on the couch, but there are also days filled with irrevocable love.

Blaine and Kurt occasionally bump into Sebastian Smythe. He’s still the same bitter snarky man Blaine left and he’s quick to brag about his new conquests. Blaine can’t believe he nearly lost his marriage to the man. Kurt just settles into the “Bitch back away from my man!” sort of thing and everything moves on smoothly.

Kurt can breathe mentally now, because he has forgiven Blaine.

Their secret is eventually revealed to Rachel not long after and she’s extremely disapproving, she clearly makes it known she thinks Blaine doesn’t deserve to be forgiven.

Kurt silently counters “Marriage is sometimes about giving love when someone least deserves it.”

And it’s true, love sometimes isn’t black or white, but it’s love and Kurt’s sure of it.
