The following day Blaine and Kurt set out to get coffee together with the plans to meet up with Puck and Alex at the gym afterwards, Blaine was going along as Kurt's guest and in all honesty, he wasn't so much interested in working out as he was in watching his fiancé work out and get all sweaty and just...yea. When he'd casually told Kurt he would be fine to tag along with them and that he didn't want to mess up Kurt's work out schedule just because he was in town, Kurt answering smirk and brow raise let him know he wasn't fooling him for a second, but Kurt being the obliging fiancé he is just said 'Alright, I'll text the guys in the morning and let them know we're meeting them there'. He'd definitely taken advantage of Kurt's newfound upper body strength yesterday with a fairly impressive round of sex up against the wall with Kurt holding him up off the ground, watching Kurt's arms flex and glisten with sweat had Blaine racing towards an orgasm faster than usual, so yes, he was in full support of this new desire to work out, especially if he was going to get to watch. It was fair after all, that he would get to spend some time fawning over his fiancé when more than once Kurt had tagged along to watch him beat away at a punching bag solely for the purpose of staring unashamedly at his arms and back, throwing out the casual comment of 'Why don't you just take your shirt off babe? I'm sure all this working out has you over heated...?' Subtly? Not their strong points.

Walking into the gym they saw Puck and Alex already working out and Blaine waved over at them while Kurt signed them in, they headed over and when Alex mentioned he had thought Kurt would be taking a break from the gym while Blaine was here Puck snorted and shook his head sneaking a wink at Blaine saying 'I highly doubt hobbit would want to miss out on his man getting all hot and sweaty lifting weights' at this point Blaine just grinned and nodded causing them all to chuckle. They spent about an hour at the gym before heading back to the apartment to shower and get ready for the day.

The two were heading to meet up with Kurt's boss for lunch to talk about the clothing line Kurt would be designing, she wanted him to be finished before Christmas this year and needed to make sure he was up for it with everything that was happening the next few months, she also really wanted to meet his Fiancé in person and gab about wedding plans and the designs Kurt had made for both of their tuxes, which she had offered to have made for them as a gift and refused to take no for an answer. Naturally she ended up adoring Blaine and thinking he and Kurt were perfect together, she fawned over their wedding plans and Kurt's designs and told them to start thinking up a brand name for Kurt's clothing line and asked Kurt if after the clothes, should they be successful if he would consider continuing on to do more items, accessories, scarves, shoes, handbags...bowties? That last bit was thrown in with an amused wink to Blaine who couldn't help but laugh.

Back at their apartment the two were on the couch cuddling up together watching Sweet Home Alabama, a movie that apparently had to be watched any time it was found on TV according to Blaine, didn't matter what you were doing, you had to drop it all to watch the movie with him or face the wrath of puppy dog eyes and the most adorable pout known to man in Kurt's opinion, Blaine admitted it was one of his favorites so while flipping through the channels he saw it was just starting he'd called Kurt into the living room from the kitchen to watch it together. Kurt had literally lost count of the times they'd watched this movie together, but he enjoyed it, not just the movie itself which he did love, but listening to Blaine whisper the dialogue under his breath eyes glued to the screen as he cuddled against Kurt's chest from his spot between his legs. Kurt played with Blaine's curls as they watched and he smiled amusedly at Blaine's dialogue.

"What do you want to be married to me for, anyhow?" Blaine said along with young Melanie on screen and Kurt leaned down to press a soft kiss to his ear and whisper back "So I can kiss you anytime I want" Causing Blaine to tilt his head up and grin at Kurt capturing his lips in a kiss.

"See that right there is why I love you" He said snuggling back into Kurt's chest.

Kurt chuckled and ran a hand down Blaine's back "Why? Because I've obviously watched this movie with you enough times to finish the dialogue with you"

"Well...no...but that is a perk...I was going to say that our love is far better than any movie could ever be, you're so much better than any leading man in one of these movies Kurt." He said softly, causing Kurt to press a kiss into his hair.

"And you're 100 times better than any Prince Charming in those Disney movies we're obsessed with...my mom always told me I'd find my prince charming one day, I never thought I'd find someone even better"

"I love you" Blaine said nuzzling into Kurt's t-shirt inhaling his scent.

"And I love you B, Always have... since the day you took my hand on the steps at Dalton, I was yours."

Later that night the two were eating diner that Kurt had made, that Blaine had been raving over for the last 15 minutes, according to him if Kurt wanted to he could probably become a chef and open a restaurant because he was a magician in the kitchen. He'd made stuffed chicken breast, with gorgonzola cheese, prosciutto (dried cured ham thinly sliced for those who don't know) Roasted tomatoes and garlic sautéed spinach, then breaded with a special mix of breadcrumbs, herbs and parmesan cheese before baked to perfection and served alongside white wine garlic and mushroom fettuccini and grilled vegetables. Kurt absolutely loved cooking for Blaine more than anyone just because his reactions were the best when he truly liked something.

When they were finished they cleaned the kitchen side by side before making two cups of tea and retiring to their bedroom to get ready for bed and watch some TV cuddled up together. Once they were settled in their pajamas under the covers Blaine turned to Kurt and asked him if he had any ideas about the brand name for his clothing line, and Kurt's answering shy smile and nod made him curious so he prodded Kurt until he told him his idea, Kurt had apparently already thought about this long before he'd even received the offer to design his own line, it was something Blaine inspired, something that pretty much was the reason he had managed to get to this point after the last few years, the one thing Blaine had inspired within him since the day they met and what he continued to ever since; Courage. While Blaine would try and say that didn't bring tears to his eyes and cause him to essentially tackle his fiancé with kisses, he'd be lying. This time next year they would be married, and Kurt's clothing line would be out for the world to see as: Courage, By Kurt Anderson-Hummel.

Sometimes Blaine wondered if Kurt ever realized that he was the one who inspired Blaine every day. He was the strongest, most determined, most talented person he'd ever met and how utterly and completely honored he felt to be the man lucky enough to hold Kurt's heart in his hands, to have someone like Kurt love him as much as he did, to have someone like Kurt want to spend the rest of his life with him...it was the most empowering feeling ever. Kurt believed in him more than anyone, and if you asked him he'd always say that HE was the lucky one to have someone like Blaine in his life and by his side as his future husband, but Blaine knew that he was the lucky one, luck to have Kurt. Whatever he'd done right in his life to be blessed with a soul mate so incredible, he had no idea, but he was eternally grateful. To have Kurt tell him that HE was his inspiration? That HE was the one who made Kurt strive to be more, better, be the sort of man Blaine could be proud of was...baffling. Blaine already thought he was all of that and more. There was a saying by Lao Tzu that said "Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage" ...that said it all didn't it? That was them, Kurt and Blaine; so much could be summed up just by that quote alone.

With Kurt asleep beside him Blaine took the time to memorize his love's face, Kurt was honestly the single most Gorgeous person he'd ever met, man and woman alike, besides the fact he had the most beautiful heart and soul, he was just...stunning. Blaine could look at him forever and never get tired of it, the way his eyes sparkled, the way he blushed, the utter perfection that was his skin, his mouth that always seemed to be begging to be kissed with lips soft as silk, the dimple in his cheek when he smiled. How could anyone not look at him and immediately fall in love was beyond him, even when he hadn't accepted the fact that he was in love with Kurt...he would never deny that Kurt was the most attractive man he'd ever met. Blaine had come to realize that there are moments, in every person's life that change them forever, even without them realizing it. The moment he met Kurt for instance, changed his life for the better... Kurt brought him to life, he was a breath of fresh air and up until they met it was as if Blaine had just...existed. The moment he realized Kurt had feelings for him...real honest and deep feelings for him, the moment he realized he was falling in love with Kurt and just being his friend wasn't even possible, the moment he kissed Kurt for the first time and his brain short circuited because he knew THIS was what love felt like, THIS was the moment he'd been waiting for, THIS was the person he wanted to kiss every day for the rest of his life. Kurt had always been the smart one that was for sure, he knew before Blaine did that they belonged together, and fortunately for Blaine he was patient enough to wait for him to catch up. Then...there were moments like this. Were he just...looked at Kurt. Wondering how he would look in a few years, imaging what Kurt would look like when they were old and grey surrounded by their grandchildren, hopefully with that same sparkle in his eyes and laugh lines due to years of smiles and laughter. Loving someone as much as he loved him...was overwhelming, and magical, it made you feel like there isn't anything in the world you aren't capable of.

He lifted his hand and softly stroked Kurt's smooth cheek, smiling when Kurt sighed his name and subconsciously leaned into the touch. Leaning forward he pressed his lips against Kurt's and pulled him closer, he both heard and felt Kurt hum against his lips and slowly start to kiss him back, when he pulled away Kurt was opening his eyes to look at him curiously.

"Everything ok baby?" He mumbled sleepily

Blaine kissed him once more and nodded "Perfect, everything is perfect, go back to sleep love, I'm here" Blaine said pulling Kurt against his chest and holding him securely in his arms

"Mkay...love you" and with that Kurt drifted back to sleep with his head over Blaine's heart and Blaine rubbing his back gently.

Grace Hamilton was a woman with many regrets about her life and the decisions she'd made. The biggest of those being the broken relationship with her daughter that she'd been too proud to fix before she'd passed away, and the second biggest regret was allowing her self-pity and shame keep her from having a relationship with her only grandchild. When Elizabeth first told her she was running off to marry Burt Hummel, neither herself nor her husband had approved, they had plans for their daughter that did not involve marrying a mechanic and having a baby straight out of high school. But they had raised a strong woman with a mind of her own, and Elizabeth had quite simply told them to go to hell and not bother coming to the wedding and did it anyways. She'd always been stubborn and something she'd definitely picked up from her own parents, but she'd followed her own heart and Grace was honestly grateful that her daughter had found love and got to experience having a family before she died. Once she had passed though, how did one look into the eyes of her child and not feel ashamed? Ashamed for not being around to support him, ashamed of letting her own pride get in the way of being a part of her own grandchild's life? Before her husband had died he'd told her something that had stuck with her all these years. He'd told her she needed to forgive herself and let go of her regrets. To make things right. It had taken two years after that before she even attempted making contacts with Burt Hummel and his son, she hadn't been surprised when the man hung up on her, nor could she be angry. She'd abandoned a young boy who lost his mother and waited over four years to even attempt to get in touch with them. Sure she'd sent a card every year on Kurt's birthday and Christmas, but that didn't make amends for not being there, for not giving Kurt a chance to hold onto the last familial link he had to his mother.

The last year she'd taken to writing Burt letters, apologizing, explaining, and expressing her desire to both meet and be a part of her grandson's life. He'd written back eventually, with a picture of Kurt and a short message that said:

"This is your grandson; Kurt Elizabeth Hummel.
It was his idea to change his middle name for his mother.
He has Lizzie's eyes, smile and kind heart.
He loves music, Broadway and fashion.
He is gay, and engaged to a really amazing kid named Blaine who treats him like he should.
He is happy, strong, and talented and unique, he's proud of who he is and quite frankly so am I.
and THAT is who I raised him to be without your help or support.
While I can offer you forgiveness on my behalf for the past, it's not my place to decide whether or not he lets you into his life, it's his. If Kurt's taught me anything it's that family comes in all shapes and sizes and that family forgives each other. So with that being said here is his number, go ahead and call him. Tell him everything you told me, good luck.

-Burt Hummel

....By the way, I'm a congressman now. So much for being some small town mechanic who wasn't going anywhere in life huh?"

She honestly couldn't blame him for the last dig, she knew she deserved it. But she was grateful for the chance he gave her to make things right. Twenty years ago she may have cared about whether or not her grandson was gay, but the loss of her daughter had taught her a lot. The world was changing, and there was no place for hate and ignorance, she'd already seen and lived the result of being closed-minded and judgmental, she'd never lose family over that again. She'd never been more nervous that when she'd called him, nor had she ever been more relieved when he didn't hang up immediately once he realized who it was. He was polite and welcoming, and more than willing to hear her out. What struck her the most was the uncanny resemblance his voice had to her deceased daughter, if she hadn't known any better she would have been sure it was Elizabeth who answered the phone. They had talked for a long time, he told her all about his life in New York, his fiancé and his job working for vogue, finding out her grandson was on his way to becoming a fashion designer who had already had one of his designs on the runway in Paris during fashion the week was...astonishing. He was definitely his mother's son, smart, strong and determined. They worked out a time that he and his fiancé would be able to come visit her since they didn't live too far from one another, a few hours at most. She'd even offered to pay for his wedding, not entirely surprised when she was turned down but she did manage to convince him to let her pay for the rehearsal dinner wherever his heart desired. She was aware money couldn't make up for the lost time, nor win his love and affection. But she just wanted to be able to offer him something, to show that she supported him and his marriage, especially after he admitted he thought she'd stayed away from him because she found out he was gay. When he'd asked for her address so he could send her an invitation she barely refrained from letting out a happy squeal. She hoped, if Elizabeth was watching down on them, that she would be happy that her son and mother found each other again. She swore after hanging up that she would do whatever it took to make Elizabeth proud of her, prove to Kurt she can be the loving grandmother he deserved and show Burt Hummel that she was not the same woman she was all those years ago.

Mr. and Mrs. Anderson had it all figured out, they had debated over whether or not their wedding gift was a bit too much but at the end of the day...could anyone put a price on the happiness of their children? Mrs. Anderson had more than one reason to head to New York to visit the boys at the end of spring break, going over wedding plans and visiting the venue was honestly more of an excuse to be in New York than anything, of course she wanted to see the venue and go over the plans, which she was sure were amazing considering who Kurt was, but in reality she would be sneakily looking at houses. It wasn't a secret both Kurt and Blaine eventually wanted children, sure it may not be for a few years but at some point, they would decide to start a family and they would need more than a one bedroom apartment. They would need at least two bedrooms, maybe three and a decent sized back yard in a good neighborhood close enough to Kurt's work and Blaine's school. So they had discussed it...multiple times and decided to buy the boys a house as an investment for their future and their future grandchildren. When they'd brought up the idea to Burt Hummel the man had been...surprised to say the least and had donated some money himself to the Kurt and Blaine house fund. So under the guise of wedding planning, both Carol and Blaine's mother would be simultaneously house hunting for the boys.
