Leave Me Breathless (Chapter 10)

10. CELEBRATIONS

There was another anniversary next Saturday, a much happier one this time. It had been a year since the night Kurt had sung Not Alone to Blaine, certain he wouldn’t be heard and understood, ready to give up all hope of them ever being more than best friends. But fate or some deity, whatever it was, had intervened, and Blaine had

So many more FEELINGS! Omg, the rings! The lake walk! The picnic! SO MUCH HAPPY!! I am exploding with rainbows and unicorns!!
I love, love, love this fic! Can't wait for Monday...I'll do an extra fluoride rinse!

I am exploding with rainbows and unicorns!!

You just said it all, sister. =)

[anxioussquirrel]

Thank you! I'm overfluffed at this point... Help!

[punkkitten2113]

There's even MORE sweetness than today?? I am typing this with no teeth, because they all fell out, and let me tell you that the squeal that came out of my mouth when Blaine gave Kurt that ring was NOT human....

He couldn’t help but touch the thin band of silver on his ring finger all the time. The metal had warmed up from his skin, but it still felt new and foreign, even if it represented something so well known, familiar and welcome. It wasn’t an engagement ring, but it felt like one, to be honest.

And then there were tears. This chapter was such a lovely callback to all the pain I remembered from the beginning of this verse, and it just about burst my heart, I was so full of pride and love for both of them.

I hope you are still in huggy mode because I want all the hugs. I love you.

(And I've had cheesecake now too. The world is full of right.)

I'm not sure, I can't measure fluff, I specialize in angst after all. But after writing chapters 10 and 11 I'm pretty sure I've developed diabetes.

All the hugs for you!
No cheesecake for me today, thank you. I'll go look for some lemons. Or olives. Yes, green olives, mmmmmmm.

:D

Yay, I love sugar!!!

[anxioussquirrel]

Me too, but I feel kinda nauseous after such a dose (this chapter + the next). I think I'll start an angsty side story to balance it out ;)

I love how Burt just knew they wanted to live together. Burt Hummel knows all! And the rings, oh man. These two are adorable to the extreme. I just want to cuddle them and tell them how proud of them that I am.

The timing of your update was perfect, by the way. I was struggling to finish the next chapter of my own fic when I saw this. I told myself I couldn't read this until I wrote my chapter. Knocked it out in no time. XD

[anxioussquirrel]

Yeah, they need to load on the cuddles and fluff, because I'm planning stuff...

Oh yay, I'm glad I helped motivate you then:D I do exactly the same all the time;)

I am having a hard time imagining how the next chapter could possibly be more fluffy than this one.

[thegourmez]

Me, too. This was super sappy. And it'll be more sappy? I'm not sure that's possible.

[anxioussquirrel]

Uh-oh. That bad?
Not more, I guess, but these two chapters combined = more fluff than I've ever written in my life. I need angsttttt ;)

[thegourmez]

Not meant as a complaint! Though I, too, love the angst. Can't wait to see what you have up your sleeve next in that department.
