Question 31

Question 31: Tell your partner something that you like about them already.

"I can't believe I'm going to bed with a famous play writer."

Kurt had shivers running down his spine as his fiancé held him from behind and whispered in his ear. He turned to capture Blaine's mouth with his, but not before teasing him too:

"And I that I'm engaged to an appraised composer."

Blaine accepted the kiss but blushed. Kurt started caressing his ears:

"By the way, Blee, the flowers at the end of the play were too much. I don't need a bouquet that big."

"Although I think you deserve a bouquet even bigger; they weren't from me. I know it was a busy night and you didn't have time to read the card, they were from your dad and Carole. They sent me one too."

Kurt sighed with fake relieve:

"So, I don't need to worry about any secret admirer's you've been collecting?"

Blaine grinned amused and held Kurt from behind again:

"You know I only have eyes for you; since the first day and specially after tonight."

Kurt pulled him to bed:

"Hmm. I like that first day part, tell me more about it."

Blaine adjusted them in bed so that Kurt was lying with his back against his chest while Blaine rested against the headboard. Kurt loved this position; Blaine would hug him like that when he wanted to tell him about his day or to make Kurt even more relaxed after a long day apart. Blaine started playing with his fingers while he began his tale:

"When Rachel said she'd moving out and that I could take her place with her ex-roommate, I thought I was the luckiest guy in the world. When she showed me your photo, I thought I had won the lottery. I had never seen bluer eyes or a prettiest face. Then, I arrived here, and you were a nice talk, a great cook and gay."

Kurt laughed and Blaine peppered his neck with kisses.

"So it was love at first sight?"

Blaine answered while kissing behind his fiancé's ear:

"Pretty much. I mean, I was too hurt, and I had my insecurities. But if anything approached love at first sight in my life, it was meeting you."

Kurt felt his heart growing tender. His hands reached back to warp around Blaine's neck:

"I feel for you the moment I opened the door and saw the most wonderful man in the universe. I thought Rachel was up to something when she told you were coming for dinner and didn't show me your picture. I knew she was up to something when you showed up with cheesecake and said that you were gay."

Blaine chuckled and his breath tickled behind Kurt's ear, making his arm hair erupt.

"The worse part is that now we know she was innocent in that one. Maybe she was protecting me from another heartbreak. I was in a pretty bad place back then."

Kurt turned his head to captures Blaine's lips; not before stating:

"It was when you showed me your fragilities that I realized it was more than an infatuation – it was love."

They went back to the position where Kurt's back was against Blaine's chest. There was no rush between them. Kurt played a little with his fiancé's fingers. His fiancé: some people had said they were hurrying things, that they barely knew each other to be engaged to get married so fast. He didn't mind them – he was sure he belonged with Blaine. He brought Kurt back from his thoughts:

"Penny for your thoughts?"

Kurt giggled:

"I'm just thinking how lucky and happy I am. And how you are a great part of that. I never believed I'd get married. I dreamed about it, but I was scared it would never happen. But then you proposed, and I understood why it hasn't worked out with no one else before."

They laughed and Kurt completed:

"I know it sounds cliché."

"It's not that. I used to think I had found the one with Sebastian. He then broke me to pieces. When we met... I mean... There was a moment, a moment I said, 'there you are, I've been looking for you forever'."

"Which moment was that?"

Blaine didn't respond immediately. Kurt was about to turn to see what had happened when he felt Blaine's nose against the back of his ear. He could feel the vibration of Blaine's voice as well as hearing it:

"It was when you told me about your play. When for the first time I heard what you were writing."

"It was only weeks after we met!"

"I know! It scared the hell out of me."

Kurt felt the vibration of his fiancé's laughter through his body too.

"You are not scared anymore, Blee?"

"No. You healed me. I know I am where I was supposed to be. And seeing your words take flight tonight made me so emotional – so proud – it's like the world can now see what I have ever seen."

"You are a huge part of tonight. Not only with your songs; you made me realize I should pursue my dream. You made me see I was wroth it. That what I wrote could mean something to someone else too."

Blaine gripped his hand:

"You are going to help so many gay teens from Ohio – well, from all over the world – to see that they are not alone. You can move people with your words. You move me, Kurt."

"Only my words? What about your songs? They'll become anthems for so many kids. You are amazing."

"We are. Together."

Kurt sighed:

"Our baby is out into the world and already helping people."

Blaine groggily answered:

"That's all I want: to make art and help people."

Kurt felt Blaine relaxing behind him. He looked and found Blaine already asleep. He smiled to himself and detached himself from the sleeping man to go brush his teeth. From the in-suite's door, he looked at the form of his sleeping fiancé; they had done something right. Not just tonight, but to deserve each other.
