Well traditionally, the Claddagh ring is given as a token of friendship, love, or... or even to tie the knot. So I'm- I'm thinking, perhaps a promise ring?
...or an early Valentine's present, which I also would not be averse to in the least.
[ he knows that he was asking for it. had he really that many reservations about their relationship, or whether it could last, or anything else in between, he would have slipped the ring on his right hand, and he knows that blaine wouldn't have complained. the question isn't necessary, because in a way, possibly ever since that first night, his mind's already been made up. (married by thirty wasn't just a throwaway claim, either.) ]
[ a part of him wants it all. right now. having his dad walk him down the aisle, all of them dressed in a whirlwind of white with just a touch of green, because new beginnings always deserve that touch of spring to ensure that they last. but another part knows that reality still looms around the corner, and that perhaps each step should be cherished for what it is. ]
Blaine.
[ regardless of what happens, though, this choice, made in this instant, isn't one kurt thinks he'll ever regret. so he leans forward to capture blaine's lips in a lingering kiss, before slipping his left hand over blaine's palm,

[ the hesitation, clearly made on his behalf, practically seals the deal. romantic though a passionate, whirlwind decision would be, the consideration is what makes blaine the person that kurt knows he wants to spend the rest of his life with. do the fears still remain? of course. everything about the prospect of nyada, no matter how far and unreachable it feels to him now, is still gripping. but it comes second. the reason why blaine is the one who kurt turns to in times of dismay is because blaine is that single, solitary light in his life that he can't imagine being without. not anymore. ]
[ maybe that's the key. the moment when all those years without that other person become a blur, and you can't imagine life without them anymore. ]I want to. I want this... more than anything else I've ever wanted, I- and I know, I know it must look awful that I've just got all these worries but it's just like when you transferred to McKinley, I want to make sure that we're both ready, but I don't even know what feeling more ready than this
