Summary: Finally in the city of his dreams, Kurt Hummel is ready to start college and pursue a new life in New York City. On the first day of class, he meets the love of his life who literally knocks him off his feet. He knows that he wants to spend forever with this man, but their forever might be shorter than he expected...
AN: Written for the Klaine Big Bang. I also want to thank my beta, moonlessky for putting up with my whining and complaining throughout writing this fic. I also want to thank, tarabottiwrites for the lovely art she drew for this story. It couldn't be more perfect!!
That night, once they were both back at Blaine’s, they called their parents; telling them about the wedding and how they planned on getting married as soon as possible.
Kurt was the first one to call his dad. He needed to tell him how happy he was, and how sure he was of this. He knew his dad would have some reservations, but Kurt didn’t care. He wanted this-he wanted Blaine-and he was going to get what he wanted.
Kurt dialed his dad’s number, getting a little nervous once he hears his father's voice on the other line. “Hey, Kurt,” his dad greeted, with cheer in his voice.
“Hi, dad,” Kurt breathed, laying back on the bed, moving his hand to tangle in Blaine’s own. “I wanted to talk to you about something,” he said, before his dad could start speaking again.
“Oh? And what did you want to talk to me about?” He questioned, sounding very curious. “Everything’s alright with Blaine? He’s still good? Treatment’s going well?” He asked, making Kurt upset with himself for worrying his dad.
“Blaine’s doing just fine, dad. But Blaine is kinda the topic of this call. Well, Blaine and I are,” Kurt said, his stomach giving a nervous twirl.
“Go on,” Burt encouraged, sitting back in his chair.
“Okay, so, here goes. Blaine and I, well...Iaskedhimtomarrymeandwe’regettingmarried,” Kurt hurried out, taking in a deep breath, waiting to hear what his dad had to say. On the other line he hears a hum, and his dad say, “I’m sorry, I didn’t catch that.”
“Blaine and I are getting married,” Kurt finally said, slow enough for his dad to understand.
He could hear a deep sigh at the end of the other line, and he knew then that his dad didn’t agree with his choice. “Kurt, I gotta say, this is so sudden. You just meet him what six months ago?”
“I love him, dad. I know this seems crazy, and like it’s so fast, but I love him, and I can’t… I don’t ever see myself without him. I know this is what I want, and I know this is what’s right for me. I want to be with him forever, and sure you don’t have to get married for that, but this is what I want. You may not agree, but I don’t care. I love you, dad, but I also love Blaine, and I want to marry him, more than anything,” Kurt announced, his voice thick, as his eyes started to glisten. He felt the hand in his squeeze tightly; turning his face, he gave Blaine a grateful smile.
Kurt heard his dad take a deep breath before speaking again. “I’m not saying you can’t do this; you’re an adult now, but I’m worried about your heart. Kurt, what happens if the treatment doesn't work? What are you going to do then?” Burt asked, sounding concerned.
“The same thing I would do if we didn’t get married. The exact same thing. I would be devastated, so marrying him will make no difference. I know it’s hard for you to understand, but he means everything to me, and I want to marry him, even if its for just a little bit of time. Just to know that I got to marry the love of my life, that’s what will keep me strong during whatever life throws at me. I got something not many people get, dad-I found my other half, the missing piece in my soul,” Kurt finished, now leaning his head on Blaine’s shoulder as he spoke to his father. His head was spinning, nervous that his father would not agree with anything he was saying, but he had to stand his ground, and prove to him that this was the right thing for himself and for Blaine.
Burt smiled at the other end of the line. His son was really growing up, and moving on from his old life. “You really love him, huh?”
“Yes. I love him more than anything, dad, except for you of course, but that’s a different kind of love anyway,” Kurt said, letting out a watery laugh, as he moved his hands to wipe away his falling tears.
“Okay, then if you called for my blessing, you have it. I might not think it’s the best idea, but I want you happy, and if this makes you happy then I’m okay with it.” Burt assured, smiling happily when he heard Kurt’s squeal on the other end of the line.
“Thank you. That’s all I wanted, for you to be okay with it. And for you to come to the wedding, which will be this weekend,” Kurt said, gnawing on his bottom lip nervously.
“Kurt that’s such a short notice. I will just have to have someone else take over the shop for the next few days, but I’ll be there of course,” Burt confirmed, glad that he could do something to make Kurt happy. “I’m happy for you. I really am.”
“I’m happy for me too, dad. Thank you, and I love you, so much. Bye,” Kurt said, hanging up after his dad whispered a goodbye, and see you soon.
Up next were Blaine’s parents.
Blaine’s conversation with his parents went pretty much the same way, except they (unlike Burt) didn’t think Blaine was rushing into it. They were thrilled he wanted to get married to Kurt; they knew how much their son loved him, and how if Kurt and Blaine didn’t do this now, then they might never get the chance to. It was good, Kurt was glad Blaine didn’t have to convince them of this. He didn’t need that added stress.
Everything was set, both of their parents would come to New York for their wedding that weekend. All that was needed now was a place to get married, and last but not least-telling Cooper and Rachel.
-
The next day, Kurt and Blaine decided it was best to have Rachel come over for dinner, so that they could tell her and Cooper together.
So here they were, Blaine sitting on the couch finally feeling relaxed and happy, while Kurt was in the kitchen cooking away.
Kurt turned around to see Blaine watching TV, a smile forming across his face. Blaine had come to him that morning saying he was ready to take his nausea pills. Kurt was glad that Blaine came to this decision on his own. He didn’t want to force Blaine; he wanted Blaine to be able to control his own life, and he was finally doing what was best for himself.
As Kurt took one more look at him, he could see just how much Blaine was feeling better. He was smiling, and laughing, and he wasn’t laying in bed feeling sick to his stomach. Kurt felt like some of the world had been lifted off his shoulders. Blaine was feeling good, which made Kurt the happiest person on earth.
-
Half an hour later, Kurt had dinner on the table, ready and waiting for when Cooper and Rachel arrived.
Kurt had cooked steamed chicken along with steamed vegetables, and some rice. And for Rachel, since she was a vegan, he had cooked tofu chicken. He hoped everyone would enjoy it.
-
Ten minutes later there is a knock at the door, Kurt hurries to get it, telling Blaine not to move. When he pulls open the door he sees Rachel standing there, with a big smile plastered on her face. “Why hello there, Kurt. It’s nice to finally see your face again. I had forgotten what you looked like,” she said dramatically, as she walked into the house, Kurt closing the door behind her. “And there’s Blaine, there person who took you away from me,” she said in a sing song voice.
Behind her Kurt was laughing silently, shaking his head in amusement. “I missed you too, Rachel. I’m sorry we haven’t had the chance to hang out. I’m just so busy with school, and then Blaine...”he trailed off, giving her an apologetic smile.
“You don’t have to apologize, Kurt,” Rachel said, turning to him. “I understand. I just miss you, but we will get to hang out as soon as everything calms down. Which brings me to,” Rachel continued, as she walked over to the couch and dropping down right next to Blaine, “you.” She finished, bumping her shoulder with Blaine’s. “How you feeling?”
“I’m feeling a lot better. I finally did something good, and started taking my nausea pills. So yeah, feeling a lot better.” Blaine beamed, staring up at Kurt.
“I love you.” Kurt mouthed, feeling so proud of him.
“Love you,” Blaine said back, loud enough for Rachel to hear, making her go into a round of aw’s.
-
After Cooper had finally made his way through the door, they all went to sit at the table, filling their plates with the food Kurt had cooked.
“This looks lovely, Kurt. Thanks for inviting me,” Rachel commented, as she finished up with filling her plate.
“Thanks Rachel,” Kurt replied, reaching out to grab Blaine’s hand. “Actually, Blaine and I had something we wanted to tell you and Cooper.” Rachel and Cooper dropped their forks, giving them bother their full attention.
Kurt and Blaine both sat in silence, staring at them with wide eyes. “You didn’t have to stop eating,” Blaine finally said, breaking the silence.
“Come on squirt, what's this thing you want to tell us?” Cooper questioned, ignoring everything that Blaine had said.
“Um,” Blaine choked out, feeling more nervous than when he told his parents the news.
Kurt turned to him, giving him a reassuring smile.
“Blaine and I,” Kurt started, his attention now going to the two waiting on them to speak. “We’re getting married,” they both finished in sync. Soon enough, they saw Rachel’s and Cooper’s eyes go wide, feeling the shock of what they had just said.
“Kurt, Blaine. Oh my god.” Rachel squealed, jumping out of her chair and running to give them both a hug. “I’m so happy for you both,” she said, one arm around each of them. Pulling away, Kurt saw a big smile on her face, and this eased him. He was glad she was happy for them, she was his best friend and he wanted her support, just as much as he wanted his dad’s. Now that it really seemed like he had it, he couldn’t feel more at ease. Well, that was until he turned to look at Cooper, who hadn’t yet moved.
“Coop?” Blaine said, in a small voice.
“This seems kind of selfish,” Cooper finally said, eyes going back and forth between Kurt and Blaine. “Blaine’s sick, and dying and you’re just what? Getting married and taking the last probably few months I have left with him. He’s my brother, and I want to be there with him for the rest of the time he has left. This is insane,” he said, standing up and pacing back and forth.
“Coop, that’s no-” Blaine was cut off by Cooper turning around looking hard at the both of them.
“When did this happen?” He questioned, sighing heavily.
“Two nights ago,” Blaine told him, squeezing into Kurt’s hand as if he needed him to hold him up, from losing everything he needed to keep him. His brother didn’t approve, the one person who he needed to approve, didn’t.
“Two nights ago,” Cooper repeated, his eyes snapping over to Kurt’s. “The night I helped you with your room. That night? Did you know then that you wanted to marry my brother? I assume it was you that asked.”
“Yes I knew, and yes it was me. Cooper, I’m sorry I didn’t tell you, but I wanted it to be a surprise,” Kurt defended in a soft voice. “I’m not taking him away from you. We’re here. We’re always here. We don’t plan on going anywhere. You have him, just as much as I do.”
“But I don’t. Kurt I don’t have him, not as much as you. He loves you more than anything in his whole life, and that’s including me, and I get it. I do. I wasn’t always the best brother, but I’m trying now, just trying the best I can to finally be here for him. But he doesn’t need me. He has you, and I’m just here, watching you be the one who takes care of him. I’ve already lost him. Now, it’s going to be permanent? He’s going to leave me here, alone. And I’m just going to be watching it all happen, with no way to stop it.”
Blaine stood up, walking over to his brother and throwing his arms around him and pulling him into a hug. “I love you, Cooper. You haven’t lost me, I promise. I’ve never thought ill of you. You’re my brother, the only one I have, so you’re never going to lose me; even if I die, because I’m still your brother, forever. But I’m marrying Kurt,” Blaine said, his eyes catching Coopers. “I love him too, and in a very different way. But I love him nonetheless. I’m not trying to be selfish, and neither is Kurt. We’re still going to be here. We’re not leaving, this is our home. We just want to know that if this treatment doesn’t work that we got to live out being married to the love of our lives. Because that’s what he is to me, and that’s what I am to him. So yes, we’re getting married, and I want nothing more than for you to be my best man,” Blaine admitted, a smile forming on his face.
“This is insane. You both are insane.” Blaine’s face fell, his brow furrowing. “But, I guess I’m insane too. I shouldn’t be okay with this, I’m not; you’re so young but I just want you happy, and this is what you want, so I’m going to be here for both of you,” he finished, as Blaine’s face turned into a full wide grin and Cooper pulled him into a tight hug. “Congratulations, little brother.” He sighed, shaking his head as a small smile fell onto his face. “You too, Kurt,” he said, shooting him a wink. Pulling away, Blaine and Cooper returned to their seats. “I’m sorry about over reacting. I was rude, and so yeah...I’m really sorry.”
Blaine and Kurt both accepted the apology, telling him there was no need to worry about it.
“So have you guys started the wedding planning?” Rachel asked, as they all started to once again eat their dinner.
“Actually, no planning. We want to get married this weekend, so we don’t really have time to plan, so we wanted to do it on top of the roof. We figured we can buy stuff to make it look perfect, and then just get someone to marry us. And one day when we have enough money, when Blaine’s in remission; we will have a big wedding, but for now this is what we want,” Kurt said, looking at Blaine, who gave him a brief nod of agreement.
“We can do that. We’ll get it looking great,” Cooper assured, Rachel smiling so wide as she nodded along. “What about mom and dad? Your dad, Kurt?”
“We’ve already talked to them,” Blaine said. “They will be here Friday, and the wedding will be Sunday.”
“Good. I see you guys have thought of everything,” Cooper said, proudly.
“We have.” Kurt and Blaine both said.
-
The rest of the dinner went smoothly. They talked about some of the things they would want as decorations, and the food that they would want to serve after the wedding.
Cooper and Rachel said they would take care of everything, and that Kurt and Blaine were not allowed to lift a hand. They jumped at the chance to not have to do any work, and were so thankful to have the kind of people like Cooper and Rachel in their lives.
-
The rest of the week passed. Rachel and Cooper had gotten everything they needed to make the roof look perfect for Kurt and Blaine’s wedding, the only problem was that they had said Kurt or Blaine weren’t allowed to go up and see, which started to worry Kurt. He didn’t like being left on the sidelines. He needed to observe, and tell people what to do, but he was being held back, and he didn’t like it. What if they were doing something crazy, like a Star Wars theme. He needed to know, and he needed to know now.
Blaine on the other hand trusted that Rachel and Cooper knew them well enough to know just what they would like. He tried to get Kurt to calm down, and stop worrying. He said it would be beautiful just like Kurt wanted. To Blaine it really didn’t matter what the decorations were, or the food. All that mattered was that he was going to marry Kurt. He would marry Kurt in the middle of the street with cars zooming past them, as long as they ended up married he would be fine with anything.
Blaine knew Kurt also felt that way, but he was just making himself a little crazy because he wasn't allowed to help with anything. Blaine also thinks it has something to do with the fact that Cooper insisted on himself being the one to marry them. He had said, “No brother of mine is getting married by some snobby pastor, who most likely hates the gays anyways. Nope, your brother here, he’s going to do it. I’m going to get ordained on the internet. Say thank you, Cooper.” After that Kurt had went a little crazy. He wanted things to go well, and with Cooper insisting on marrying them, well he wasn’t too sure what would happen now. Blaine did his best to calm him down though, and it worked, most of the time. At least he kept him distracted enough from going onto the roof and looking at what a mess Rachel and Cooper were making of their wedding.

Cooper and Rachel said they would take care of everything, and that Kurt and Blaine were not allowed to lift a hand. They jumped at the chance to not have to do any work, and were so thankful to have the kind of people like Cooper and Rachel in their lives.

The rest of the week passed. Rachel and Cooper had gotten everything they needed to make the roof look perfect for Kurt and Blaine’s wedding, the only problem was that they had said Kurt or Blaine weren’t allowed to go up and see, which started to worry Kurt. He didn’t like being left on the sidelines. He needed to observe, and tell people what to do, but he was being held back, and he didn’t like it. What if they were doing something crazy, like a Star Wars theme. He needed to know, and he needed to know now.
Blaine on the other hand trusted that Rachel and Cooper knew them well enough to know just what they would like. He tried to get Kurt to calm down, and stop worrying. He said it would be beautiful just like Kurt wanted. To Blaine it really didn’t matter what the decorations were, or the food. All that mattered was that he was going to marry Kurt. He would marry Kurt in the middle of the street with cars zooming past them, as long as they ended up married he would be fine with anything.
Blaine knew Kurt also felt that way, but he was just making himself a little crazy because he wasn't allowed to help with anything. Blaine also thinks it has something to do with the fact that Cooper insisted on himself being the one to marry them. He had said, “No brother of mine is getting married by some snobby pastor, who most likely hates the gays anyways. Nope, your brother here, he’s going to do it. I’m going to get ordained on the internet. Say thank you, Cooper.” After that Kurt had went a little crazy. He wanted things to go well, and with Cooper insisting on marrying them, well he wasn’t too sure what would happen now. Blaine did his best to calm him down though, and it worked, most of the time. At least he kept him distracted enough from going onto the roof and looking at what a mess Rachel and Cooper were making of their wedding.
