Slowly but surely Kurt finds himself getting better. Every day is like something is building and growing inside of him, repairing deep wounds little by little. The scars all over his arms are still there--but the sickness of his mind and heart, that's healing.

He'd never thought that quitting a job would ever make him feel better about himself, but it is. So is the therapy, honestly. He's remaking himself from the ground up, and he feels resilient-- Like nothing can break him down again, even the knowledge of what Blaine had done back home. It just doesn't matter, not when placed side-to-side with what they've been through here.

Maybe this is what being an adult really is, he wonders as he slips a loaf of freshly made cinnamon bread into the oven to bake. Maybe it's not so bad. Maybe it's better.

Tears filled Kurt's eyes before he could stop them, and he squeezed Blaine more tightly, pressing his face into his boyfriend--his fiancé's shoulder.

"I thought," he whimpered softly. "That you'd never--"

He pulled away abruptly, holding onto Blaine's shoulders, his eyes wide. "Oh god, are you sure about this? I know before you wanted to wait, and then I rushed things, and I might have pressured you, and I never want to pressure you into anything, and you can't just do this for me, you know, you have to do it for you, and--"

"Kurt..." Blaine tried in the middle of Kurt's ramble but had to say his name again to get him to stop. "Kurt, it's okay. I'm doing this because I realized that I don't want to spend a single moment of my life without you. I want to be your husband. I want us to be together until we're old men. Marry me, Kurt, because it's what we both want."

A smile made its way back onto Kurt's face, but he was still crying. He shook his head and leaned in for a kiss, still curled up against Blaine on the floor. It wasn't comfortable, but his brain wasn't even processing that fact. He just wanted to be as close to Blaine as possible.

Blaine returned the kiss and kept his arms around Kurt. Once they broke back to breathe.

"I love you so much."

[showbizpanache]

Kurt giggled and answered with another kiss, tugging Blaine back down on the floor. This time he pulled Blaine on top of him, and wrapped both arms tightly around him as they kissed over and over again.

Blaine laughed happily before finally moving to get up. "Come on, half of my body is falling asleep. Let's take a look at the gems I got. If you figure out how you want to arrangement them on the ring, we can go to get them set."

[showbizpanache]

With a moan of mock disappointment Kurt sat up, wiggling so he could hop up onto the bed. He held out his hands, wiggling his fingers.

"Gimme," he said playfully, his eyes twinkling with happiness.

[mediumdrip]

Blaine handed over the small box of gems. They weren't that big or impressive, but they were what he could afford, at least they are real and shiny.

[showbizpanache]

If they were small or cheap, Kurt didn't seem to mind. He looked every bit as delighted as he was when Blaine had given him the Juicy Fruit ring when they'd gone home, and he was beaming as he examined each one carefully.

"There's so beautiful," he cooed, turning them so they'd catch the light.

"You're beautiful. You deserve beautiful things," Blaine said, eyes on Kurt's face.

[showbizpanache]

"Like you?" said Kurt with a sweet smile, looking up at Blaine with bright eyes--brighter than they'd been in months.

[mediumdrip]

Blaine was caught off guard by that one. He blinked in surprise and then laughed a bit before leaning over to kiss Kurt. "I'm yours for as long as you want me. I hope that's forever."

[showbizpanache]

"It is forever," Kurt whispered, and tilted his head to deepen the kiss. He pulled away a split second later, then grinned and leaned in again. The second kiss was much more heated.

[mediumdrip]

Blaine opened his mouth a bit, inviting the heated kiss in. His hand moved to Kurt's side, holding onto him.

[showbizpanache]

"Mm..."

Kurt's hand threaded through the hair at the back of Blaine's neck as he tugged his fiancé forward, needing him closer. He kept their mouths together, moving his lips softly yet insistently.

[mediumdrip]

Blaine pressed against Kurt's body, moaning softly as he did. His body felt warm with need as his hand pressed into Kurt's back.
