There's No Place Better Ch 20
So there's only one more chapter after this. I'm cutting it like this or this story will be freaking long. Trust me I have 50 chapter works waiting to be put up along with Baby Lion. But I'm not done with the verse yet because as some of you sort of guess yes the companion piece to this is Blaine/Dave focused. Why? Because I freaking just love them as a pair because they just seem to fit better. I also want to clarify yes I do know that many states allow for some civil union appeasement. And honestly I don't believe in marriage no matter what a couple's sexual orientation. It puts too much pressure on the relationship. But Kurt's been planning weddings since he was little so I'd assume the character wants to get married.
"Noah what are we doing here it's almost midnight." Noah had woke him up and told him to get dressed. They had then gone down to the school and to the auditorium. There was only a soft light shinning down center stage. It was snowing softly outside and was a really beautiful Christmas eve. But he wanted to get some sleep before Hayden woke them up as six in the morning to open presents.
"I know but trust me on this alright." Noah went off stage and brought back a stool. "Have a seat. Kurt sat down watching his lover like he'd lost his mind. They were in the high school auditorium with a mostly dark stage in the middle of a holiday break. Kurt prayed they wouldn't get caught breaking and entering. He did not want to spend Christmas day in jail.
There was some shuffling in the dark and Kurt turned a panicked eye toward it. Noah just smiled at him as a guitar started up in the dark, the Piano right behind it. The lights came up slowly as another instruments started to play. Kurt vaguely recognized the people standing there. "Noah what…"
I think I've waited long enough,
Let enough time go by,
To know just what I need in my life.
When I look at you right now,
My heart is telling me why,
You're the only one for me.
An' tonight, if you let me ask you this,
With Heaven as my witness:
Other forms slowly filtered in from behind the curtains singing back up. Kurt's jaw dropped seeing all their friends walking in, dressed in white with little angel wings. Noah pointed to them as he said heaven.
Will you marry me?
I wanna be with you for all eternity.
I swear my love for you will always be.
Here, on bended knee,
Baby, I'm asking, please,
Will you marry me?
Kurt's jaw must have been literally on the floor. Noah was proposing? He held a finger to his lips signaling Kurt should remain silent. They held each other's gaze.
All that I see in your eyes,
Let me save deep inside,
'Cause I don't wanna lose one moment of you.
Lookin' like the picture in my dreams,
One that I see comin' true.
'Cause you're dreamin' the same dream I do.
Please let me ask you this,
All of Heaven as my witness:
Everyone had a smile on their lips even Mercedes had known. How had they kept it such a secret? They circled around to stand behind Noah.
Will you marry me?
I wanna be with you for all eternity.
I swear my love for you will always be.
Here, on bended knee,
Baby, I'm asking, please,
Will you marry me?
You're the only thing I've ever been this sure of.
More than anything I've ever wanted before.
Confetti began to fall like the snowflakes outside.
Will you marry me?( Will you marry me?)
Will you marry me?
Oh.
The others began to slowly move out of sight and the stage began to dim leaving just the two of them as before.
(Will you marry me?)
Will you marry me?
(I wanna be with you for all eternity.)
Be with you.
(I swear my,) love for you will always be.
Right here, on bended knee,
Oh, baby, I'm asking, please,
Will you marry me?
As the song ended Noah knelt and pulled a velvet box from his pocket. Kurt was trying very hard to hold back the tears. The silence was deafening until the stool clattered to the floor as Kurt threw himself into Noah's arms. "Yes!" He shouted into his shoulder. "Yes, yes, yes." He broke down into sobs and clung to Noah. Noah held him tight his own tears of joy rolled down his cheeks.
Their friends whooped and cheered from the shadows. Kurt pulled back and kissed Noah hard toppling them over. This earned them catcalls and wolf whistles. But neither cared they were to wrapped up in each other. "I love you Kurt."
"I love you too Noah." They shared another kiss on the confetti covered floor. Kurt had dreamed about one day being asked. Sure it was only valid in some stated but it was the idea behind it. The fact that a man would want to commit to him forever and that someone wanted him and only him. He took back what he had said to Mercedes he wanted nothing more then Noah to want him like that. It just took Noah asking him.
PUCKURTPUCKRUT
They all sat on stage celebrating the newest engaged couple with sparkling cider. Kurt couldn't believe everyone was there. Or that Noah had convinced them to dress up like angels. Kurt was on cloud nine with his mother's engagement ring on his finger. Apparently Burt had secretly been keeping it for Kurt. It was a just a simple band but it meant so much more that Noah had thought of a way to include his mother in their lives. He'd broken into tears enough times to be comforted by everyone.
"So we had to make another pair of wings because Santana's feathers fell out." Tina said making them all laugh.
"Don't worry 'Tana you'll look better in the red dress I made you for fashion week." Kurt assured her patting her on her thigh. She seemed appeased by his assurance.
"Red is just my color." She said lifting her chin.
"So Kurt Mercedes showed me your design for her bride's maids dresses. Any chance I can sneak peak the wedding dress?" Rodney, Mercedes fiancé asked leaning over her shoulder.
"Not a chance." They both said in unison. The group laughed.
"Trust me Rodney when she's walking down that aisle she's going to be the most beautiful bride ever to grace a church." The couple shared a kiss. Kurt leaned back into Noah's arms.
"I'm thinking we should get heading home it's already two in the morning." Rachel yawned.
"Yeah we told Sarah we'd be home around one." Quinn said standing up.
"She's probably sleeping on the couch with that baby monitor turned all the way up." Noah said leaning his head on Kurt's shoulder. With goodbyes they all left the auditorium till it was only Noah and Kurt.
"You are the most wonderful man in the entire world you know that right." Kurt sighed leaning against him.
"Well I do try my best princess. It was hard keeping this all from you. I had to threaten to secretly cut out Rachel's vocal cords to get her to keep quiet." Noah handed Kurt his coat and pulled his own on. "Any chance Hayden will sleep in?"
"Not if my dad has anything to say about it. Oh well that's what naps are for." Kurt followed Noah out looking back once more before turning off the lights.
PuckurtPuckurt
Kurt was hiding in Quinn's bathroom Mercedes and Tina sitting on either side of him. Rachel and Quinn were perched on the edge of the tub while Brittany and Santana stood against the wall. Since Kurt's house was a mess of boxes Quinn was hosting a New Year's party for all their friends and families. The girls had ambushed him and dragged him to the upstairs bathroom and shoved a pregnancy test into his hands before leaving him to do his business. Kurt wanted to remind them that the accuracy depended on urine not watered down by water and punch.
If anyone was wondering where they'd all disappeared to they weren't aware. The timer went off making them all jump. "Do you want one of us to look?" Tina asked softly. Kurt bit his lip and stood slowly not looking at the test.
"I don't think I can handle it saying no." Kurt whimpered.
There was a knock on the door. "Umm are you guys planning something or having some strange girl thing going on?" Finn asked.
"Dude this is not cool them all just vanishing. And why would they all be in the bathroom doing girl things if Kurt's with them?" Noah snapped. Kurt sighed and reached for the door. Finn and Noah stood on the other side with confused looks. "Is there a reason all of you are in there?"
"The girls are here for support. Just incase…" Kurt wrung his hands.
"I don't understand."
"That's not a surprise." Santana muttered earning her a round of shushing.
"Well?" Noah asked catching on.
"We haven't looked yet. I mean the thing could read wrong I've been drinking water all day and if it says…"
"Kurt calm down." Noah pulled Kurt into the hall. "Ladies out." They women all filed out standing in the hall way. Noah dragged Kurt into the bathroom and shut the door. There were protests on the other side.
"They ambushed me and it was awkward enough so I just took it."
"Do you want me to look?" Kurt nodded. Noah gave him a chaste kiss and lifted the toilet paper they'd used to cover the stick. "First thing in the morning we're going to call your doctor so we can make double sure." Noah had a big shit eating grin on his face. Kurt let out the breath he'd been holding and sagged in Noah's arms.
"So are Kurt and Noah going to have a gay baby or not?" Brittany asked her voice strangely close to the door. Kurt rolled his eyes and opened the door causing the group to stumble forward.
"We're going to double check but it says yes." The women all squealed and practically attacked him and Noah. It took quite a while for the frenzy to die down and Kurt was in tears by the end of it.
"Kurt what's the matter?" Mercedes reached up and rubbed the tears away.
"It's just been a very good year." He sniffs. Another round of hugs ensues before they all decide to head back down to the party. Kurt fixed his face as Noah lingered. "I guess once we confirm we'll have to start thinking of names." Noah smiled at him as they walk back down. "We'll tell our parents later once everyone else leaves."
"Um Kurt." Kurt looked down the stairs where all the guests are staring up at them.
"For the love of Armani can none of you keep a freaking secret?" Kurt shouts glaring at the girls standing with their families. The group laughed and they were congratulated by every single person.
