Author's Notes: Friday, October 10, 2031Blaine tapped his knife against his champagne glass, bringing the vast and boisterous room to a whisper. He and Kurt were seated at the center of the table at the front of the ballroom. Blaine stood up, cleared his throat, and with Kurt’s hand still in his at his side, he addressed the crowd.
“Kurt and I just want to thank all of you for helping us celebrate our 10th Anniversary by witnessing the renewing of our vows.” A cheer went up from the crowd. Mike’s voice was especially loud, Tina hugged around his waist looking up at him fondly. “Especially to those of you who spent many months of this last year making sure we made it to this day.” Blaine’s eyes found Rachel, Mercedes and Tiffany in the crowd. They shared significant looks before Blaine addressed the crowd again. “To many of you, it must seem as though Kurt and I have had a charmed existence—You can stop making gagging noises Coop and Sam!” The crowd rippled with laughter. After a moment, Blaine continued. “In many ways, it truly has been charmed, sometimes like the stuff of dreams. But we have endured our fair share of struggles.” Blaine looked down at Kurt by his side. “And while some of the details of sharing a life have often been hard, loving you always came easy.” Blaine paused to compose himself and looked back out at the crowd of friends and family gathered to celebrate their love. “During one of our…little interruptions, Kurt once said to me—and I hope he doesn’t mind me sharing—“ Blaine glanced at Kurt who gave him a smile and a nod. “He said to me, ‘I can’t survive on pieces of you.’ And I-I thought that now would be the best time to ensure him that he will never have to.”
Blaine lifted Kurt’s hand to his mouth and kissed it, pulling Kurt from his seat and toward the piano in the center of the room. “I knew this piano was too conspicuously placed!” Kurt’s voice was tearfully joyful as he joked with the crowd, seated at their tables that circled the piano. Blaine sat down on the piano bench and gave the spot next to him a tap. Kurt sat and gazed lovingly at Blaine who began fiddling with the keys, teasing the crowd with a few playful notes.
“Sadly, I didn’t write this song,” Blaine joked, receiving a few “awwws” for his trouble. “But it feels like I did, because it’s exactly how I feel about my husband, Kurt Hummel.” Blaine turned to Kurt. “He’ll always have all of me.”
Kurt smiled through his tears and

What would I do without your smart mouth
Drawing me in, and you kicking me out
Got my head spinning, no kidding, I can’t pin you down
What’s going on in that beautiful mind
I’m on your magical mystery ride
And I’m so dizzy, don’t know what hit me, but I’ll be alright
My head’s under water
But I’m breathing fine
You’re crazy and I’m out of my mindBlaine grinned at Kurt, a tear slipping down his cheek.
Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I’ll give my all to you
You’re my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I’m winning
Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of youKurt’s eyes never left Blaine, his hand clutched over his heart as he swayed with the rhythm.
How many times do I have to tell you?
Even when you’re crying you’re beautiful tooBlaine wiped a tear from Kurt’s cheek
The world is beating you down, I’m around through every move
You’re my downfall, you’re my muse
My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues
I can’t stop singing, it’s ringing in my head for youKurt dropped his head to Blaine’s shoulder.
My head’s under water
But I’m breathing fine
You’re crazy and I’m out of my
Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I’ll give my all to you
You’re my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I’m winning
Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you
Cards on the table, we’re both showing hearts
Risking it all, though it’s hardTears broke Blaine’s voice and while his fingers still played, he rested his cheek on Kurt’s head where it lay on his shoulder, whispering only for Kurt to hear. “I give you all of me.” Kurt tucked his head into the warm space at the base of Blaine’s neck and breathed in all of him swearing he would never exhale. They hummed together in harmony to the melody, knowing that for them, the music would never stop.
