Kurt followed the directions to what turned out to be a hotel. Written at the bottom of the paper were instructions to leave the car with the Valle and to then simply follow the signs. He pulled up to the front and when the Valle asked if he was Kurt Hummel he nodded and was pointed in the direction of the first sign. Handing over the key's Kurt walked inside and saw a piece of paper with an arrow drawn onto it on the floor and a single rose on top. Picking up the rose he continued in the direction of the arrow and followed sign after sign until he came upon an area littered with candles and rose petals. Kurt's heart was pounding so loud and fast he was sure you'd be able to hear it if you were standing next to him. A door to his right caught his attention as it opened and in came a group of boys in very familiar Dalton blazers, they filed in sending him smiles and thumbs-up, he was taken off guard by an enthusiastic Wes and David when they sprang from the line and pulled him into a tight hug whispering "KLAINE!" excitedly in his ear before running back to where the other boys were standing. Once they were all in place they all started humming the opening lines to a song...and before he could try and ask where Blaine was, the voice he knew oh so well rang loud and clear from the opposite end of the room, as Kurt cast his eyes on the love of his life, tears sprang to his eyes. There was Blaine, perfect as ever, dressed to impress staring at him as if he were the most beautiful person in the world,and at that moment he felt it, he smiled at Blaine widely as he listened to him sing, backed up by the Warblers just like the first time he'd ever heard him sing.
"I see the questions in your eyes
I know what's weighing on your mind
You can be sure I know my part
'Cus I stand beside you through the years
You'll only cry those happy tears
And though I make mistakes
I'll never break your heart..."
He walked towards Kurt with reassuring smile on his face, eyes bright and shiny with unshed tears with a look so full of love it shook Kurt to his core, he continued walking until he was standing directly in front of him and took Kurt's hands in his as he continued to sing
"And I swear
By the moon and the stars in the skies
I'll be there
I swear like the shadow that's by your side
I'll be there
For better or worse, 'till death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart
And I swear..."
Letting go of Kurt's hands Blaine cupped his face and caressed his cheeks with his thumbs wiping away the tears that were flowing from Kurt's eyes, at this point Blaine had some of his own slipping from his eyes. Everyone in the room was mesmerized by the depth of emotion in Blaine's voice as he sang directly to Kurt.
The New Directions all walked quietly into the room and came to stand with the Warblers along with Kurt's family who were all watching with proud smiles. All the girls in the room were crying, and though they would later deny it, so were most of the boys. Noah Puckerman was in between Quinn and Mercedes and the three of them were all clutching each other with tears pouring down their cheeks, Santana and Brittany were trying to deal with a hysterical Wes and David who had flung themselves at the girls at some point. Finn had come to stand behind Rachel and pulled her into a comforting hug as they both watched with watery smiles. Both Burt and Carole were holding each other, tears in their eyes next to Blaine's parents who had walked in with them. Blaine's father watched on with a proud content smile on his face along with Blaine's mother who had reached over to hold his hand and simply watch.
"I'll give you every thing I can
I'll build your dreams with these two hands
We'll hang some memories on the walls
And when, and when just the two of us are there
You won't have to ask if I still care
'Cus as the time turns the page, my love won't age at all
And I swear
I swear by the moon and the stars in the skies
I'll be there
I swear like the shadow that's by your side
I'll be there
For better or worse, 'till death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart
And I swear
And I swear
I swear by the moon and the stars in the skies
I'll be there
I swear like the shadow that's by your side
I'll be there
For better or worse, 'till death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart
And I swear...."
Trailing off on the last note Blaine leaned forward and gently captured Kurt's mouth with his savoring the familiar taste and feel of his lips before pulling away slightly and whispering a soft "I love you" against his lips. Kurt's hands curled into Blaine's shirt and pulled him in for an almost desperate kiss deepening it for a moment before allowing Blaine to pull back and look into his eyes.
"Kurt...I swear to love you more and more with each passing day, I swear to honor you and cherish you for the rest of our lives. I swear to protect you, to defend you no matter what and to be your strength even when you don't think you have any left. I swear to be the arms that hold you when you're at your weakest as well as your strongest; I swear to never ever give up on us and what we have. I swear to be your best friend and to support you always, I swear to always strive to be the sort of man you deserve and to never ever let you forget how incredible you are, I swear to the best of my ability to help you make your dreams come true, I swear to kiss you every chance I get and to tell you every single day that I love you..."
Kurt was barely breathing at this point; he had never loved Blaine more than he did at that very moment. Blaine took Kurt's hands in his again and slowly dropped down on one knee pulling the ring box out of his pocket and taking it out holding it to Kurt's ring finger.
"Kurt Hummel...will you marry me and let me spend the rest of my life making you happy?"
With tears in his eyes and a smile on his face Kurt whispered a soft "Yes...Yes of course I will marry you"
As Blaine slipped the ring onto Kurt's finger the room erupted into cheers. Kurt pulled Blaine up off the floor and into his arms kissing him over and over again everywhere his lips could reach telling him between kisses how much he loved him.
Blaine's heart felt like it had exploded in his chest, he could have died happy in that moment. He'd done it, he had asked Kurt to marry him and he said yes, nothing could make this moment more perfect then it already was...
"OH! Wait!" Kurt suddenly shouted and everyone looked over at him as he retracted one of his hands from Blaine and reached into his pocket to pull out a ring of his own holding it up to Blaine with a shy smile.
"May I?" he asked softly
With a choked breath Blaine nodded and let Kurt slip the ring onto his own finger, he stared at their clasped hands in awe, looking closer his face broke into a breath taking smile. On his ring bore the words 'My Missing Puzzle Piece' and on Kurt's 'With you I'm complete'. When he pointed it out to Kurt he had been pulled into another desperate kiss that caused half the room to start making cat calls including Santana who had shouted out "WANKY!" and halfhearted groans from Finn and the two boys parents.
It was a while till they came up panting for air but one thing was for sure...Blake had been right. Back when he was picking out the ring he had told him that he and Kurt were destined to be together, and he was right... It was fate, he was born to love and marry Kurt Hummel.
