Lunch with Mercedes had been just what the doctor ordered. As close as he was to Rachel now and he definitely considered her one of his best friends, Mercedes was special. They had been friends from day one, sure they had their ups and downs (cue painful flashback to a brick through his car windshield) but at the end of the day they loved each other. Their friendship was magical, there was nothing on earth he wouldn't do for her, and the same went for Kurt when it came to Mercedes. She told him all about LA and how she was working with all these different people, writing songs and recording them in actual studios, how she had shopped in Beverly Hills but it just wasn't the same shopping without him. She had been to a real beach for the first time in her life and told Kurt the best part was all of the cute tanned guys strutting around in swimsuits.<p>When they finished eating Kurt acknowledged the fact that he couldn't remember the last time he had felt this HAPPY. Everything had been perfect so far. The only thing he wished for was that he could see Blaine. Knowing that he had put all of this together made Kurt want to just kiss him senseless, he was so excited to see Blaine, he hoped that soon he would get to finally see him because he definitely needed to...ehem...thank him....for the amazing day he had so far.</p><p>He linked arms with Mercedes and she led him out into the parking lot, he called out his thanks to the people who had worked on him today and got a bunch of happy smiles in return. Mercedes lead him towards a car with a beautiful blonde Quinn Fabray leaning against it. Giving her a hug his head was spinning with the fact that apparently Blaine had brought all of the New Directions to Lima for whatever he was planning. Quinn handed him a blindfold with a smile and He, Mercedes and Quinn all got into the car for their next trip.</p><p>Quinn told Kurt all about Yale and how wonderful she was doing, she talked about her classes and the guy she had been sort of seeing the last few weeks who she thought Kurt would definitely approve of. She told him how much she had missed him and the rest of the New Directions, how despite how much she loved her new school, she hadn't honestly realized just how much of an impact everyone at McKinnley had made on her life, that now that she didn't seem them every day, she could honestly say she missed each and every one of them, they had become her family...a dysfunctional family. But a family none the less. With the promise to come visit her soon they pulled up to their next stop.</p><p>They lead Kurt by the hand and threw a door that opened with the sound of bell that Kurt would recognize anywhere.</p><p>Pulling off the Blindfold with a smile he looked around the ice cream parlor with an emotional smile. When he was little his mom had brought him here almost every Saturday, after she died he still came back for her birthday with his dad every year for an ice cream sundae and reminisce about the past when she was still around. They used to sit in the same booth in the right hand corner of the shop near the window. Last year on his mother's birthday he had brought Blaine here for the first time to join him and his father. To say his father had been surprised had been putting it lightly, that was honestly the defining moment for Burt where he officially realized just HOW serious about Blaine Kurt was. So serious he wanted to share something SO personal with Blaine, something that only Burt had ever shared with him, his mother. When Kurt looked at the corner booth he smiled when he saw his father sitting there, giving the girls a hug goodbye, he went to sit down across from his father.</p><p>"Hey dad"</p><p>"Hey kiddo"</p><p>"Do you have a letter for me?" Kurt asked with a soft smile, Burt nodded and slid an envelope across the table.</p><p>Kurt,</p><p>The first time you brought me here, you shared something so amazing and special with me it honestly touched my heart. I know how much your family means to you, and a day like today wouldn't be complete without your mom involved, so I figured, since you weren't able to make it home this year for your Mom's annual birthday sundae, I'd make sure you got it now that you were. Since you are most likely full from lunch, you get to split it with your dad, I figured you'd approve of him not getting an entire sundae to himself : )</p><p>When I see this place, all I can think about is how years from now; we'll be bringing our kids here for Sundae's and telling them all about their Grandma Liz. I honestly think you'd make a wonderful father someday Kurt.</p><p>I'm looking forward to all the different traditions we will be carrying on into the future together.</p><p>All my love,<br />Blaine.</p><p>Kurt wiped tears from his eyes and shared a watery smile with his dad reaching across the table to squeeze his hand.</p><p>"The kid put a lot of thought into all this Kurt" he said gruffly.</p><p>Sniffling Kurt nodded "I know, I can tell"</p><p>"So do you think you figured it all out yet?" He asked as the Sundae with two spoons was set on the table. Kurt flashed him a quick smile.</p><p>"I have an idea...I think I might have figured out were this is all going, I hope I'm right but at this point all I can do I suppose is trust Blaine...I just REALLY want to see him soon, as wonderful as today has been so far, I miss him" he admitted, Burt nodded taking a bite of his ice cream</p><p>"Soon kid. I promise, soon."</p><p>*K&B*K&B*K&B*K&B*K&B*K&B*</p><p>Blake and Sebastian had been running around chasing after Kurt all day. Blaine had put the two of them in change of documenting all of this on video. He couldn't wait to watch it later on and get to see all of Kurt's reactions throughout the day. They had decided if Kurt saw Blake he would figure out everything too fast considering Blake was the only person he told about his proposal plan in the first place. By now he was sure Kurt had at least a small clue as to what was going on.</p><p>After each stop Blake called Blaine to fill him in on how everything had gone while Sebastian sneakily video taped Kurt from his various hiding spots. At this point, Kurt only had one more stop before Blaine would finally see him, Blaine was excited, scared, nervous, and happy all at once. He couldn't wait to see Kurt. He couldn't wait to propose and he couldn't wait to take Kurt back to the hotel to have 2 days of non interrupted couple time just for the two of them. Fiddling with the ring in his pocket, Blaine went to finish setting up and making sure everything was ready for when Kurt showed up.</p><p>Planning all of this had NOT been easy at all, it had taken a lot of sweet talking and cash to make sure everything would go according to plan, but so far, everything had gone off without a hitch. He could hear the warblers warming up outside and talking excitedly amongst each other about the plan, when Blaine had told him what he was going to do...most of them had cried. Nick and Jeff had started dancing around the room singing teenage dream, Thad, Trent and Flint had congratulated him with huge smiles on their faces, when Wes and David found out their excited cheers had nearly blown his ear drums as they piled on top of him shouting 'KLAINE!' at the top of their lungs. Apparently some of the warblers had a betting pool on who and when either Kurt or Blaine proposed to one another, Wes had won and had promised to buy him and Kurt a lovely wedding present with his winnings.</p><p>His friends were crazy, but at least they were all supportive right? Granted if Wes and David didn't stop yelling he'd most likely have to sedate them.</p><p>_</p>
