Blaine had been spending as much time as he could with Kurt. In general, he tried not to ask about what had happened to Kurt back home and instead focused on training with Kurt. He had settled into the role of teaching Kurt how to box easily enough.

They had spent the morning doing just that and then Blaine walked Kurt back to his room. He was a little sweaty from the work out. It had broken his gel a bit, so that his hair was curling just slightly around his neck and forehead. He was planning on going back to his room to fix it after dropping Kurt off, but then Kurt had suggested he come into the suite to get some water.

Blaine felt so desperate for Kurt's presence that it was impossible to say no, not even with his hair on the line. Instead, he had disappeared into the bathroom to fix it quickly with a comb before joining Kurt in his room for some water and pieces of fruit.

"This looks good," he said with a grin as he sat by Kurt. They were alone now, no cameras and not even an Avox in sight. Blaine felt a bit ball of tension in his stomach, as he pictured what they would have done with this moment back when they were together. He still didn't know that to Kurt they weren't just back together, but had become so much more than that.

Blaine paused for a moment and then admitted, "I'm not sure. It doesn't feel really real right now... If you need to talk about it, I'm here, you know."

He stroked Kurt's back lightly. "And... Um... I should probably work on asking you a question too. Otherwise the other thing won't feel real either..."

"It's been a while since it happened," Kurt said softly. "I'm...healing. But you only just found out, so--you know. I'm here for you too."

He stroked his hand over Blaine's chest, feeling the taut muscles beneath his shirt. "And I wouldn't mind if you asked again. I'm not sure if I want the whole Capitol knowing about us just yet, though..."

Blaine nodded and then, after a moment he licked his lips and then asked. "Will you marry me?" After all, it was just the two of them here now. It didn't feel right to have the question just be a spur of the moment sort of thing without a grand show to back it up, but it was all they could afford without the Capitol knowing.

Kurt let out a short, startled little laugh.

"Get down on one knee, silly!" he chirped, feeling just as elated and nervous as he had when Blaine had asked him that same question at Dalton.

Blaine laughed a bit and then got off of the bed. He then got down on one knee by the bed and looked up at Kurt.

"You know, you're the love of my life, Kurt. I can't imagine spending the rest of my life or the next without you. Will you make me the happiest man alive and marry me?" he asked, rambling a bit off the top of his head as he looked up at Kurt.

While Kurt had definitely appreciated the four show choirs, the choreographed song, and the rose petals, the simplicity of this was honestly just as wonderful. I really am the luckiest person ever, he thought. I get to be proposed to by the love of my life twice.

"Yes," said Kurt with another bright laugh. "Of course. Now get back up here."

Blaine grinned as he got back up to the bed. He felt impossibly giddy. He kissed Kurt as he settled next to him.

"Was the ring nice?" he asked. "I'm sorry I don't have one here... Maybe I can make one?"

"It's beautiful," Kurt assured him. "And I really don't need a ring. Though it would be nice to show everyone that I'm yours."

He moved to recline on the bed, pulling Blaine down with him.

"I'm yours too," Blaine points out. Then he nuzzles against Kurt as they settle down. "I feel like I've been yours since I met you at that staircase." Then, after a moment. "I wish I had just realized it and saved us both a lot of trouble."

"Don't worry about that now," said Kurt with a laugh. He touched Blaine's face, stroking his cheek.

"We're here now. We're together. And nothing will break us apart this time."

Blaine nodded then, believing those words completely. "Yes. Yes nothing ever will." Not their grief, not his own stupidity, not the Capitol. Nothing would ever truly break them apart again. He kissed Kurt lightly, just a sign of his affection.

"I love you so much."

"I love you too," said Kurt, his voice soft but full of emotion. "Could we just lie here for a while?"

He slid a little closer, needing Blaine's arms completely around him, needing to hear his heartbeat. He wanted to stow away every memory, lock it inside his heart for the next arena. Maybe this time he could survive.

Blaine nodded as he wrapped around Kurt. "For as long as you need," he promised. "Forever, if we need to."
