So hey.
Been a while, I know. So I know I promised you a second extra chapter about 8 months ago and I have finally delivered it! I had some laptop troubles last month which led to my laptop having to be returned to factory settings... Because of this I lost my whole draft of this fic and my plan for this chapter. Today I was copying the main story back onto my computer and I guess I just didn't stop. So here is the last extra chapter of HSS (finally).
Please note that I did literally write this in about an hour and therefore there are probably mistakes in there somewhere. ;)
Enjoy guys.
Extra Chapter 2
Kurt woke up on the day he had to leave New York and return to Lima for his wedding to Blaine, with his fiancé's voice singing in his mind. They had been planning the next few days meticulously and Kurt couldn't afford to waste even a single second just listening to Blaine in fear of messing up his schedule. As he rolled over to face the other side of the bed, he felt the cool, soft sheets and remembered with a sigh that Blaine had had to leave very early that morning to catch an earlier flight due to an unavoidable meeting back in Ohio as part of the alumni committee of Dalton Academy. Kurt unfortunately still had one more day of work left before he could grab his overly large suitcases and head to the airport.
While Kurt was expecting a lack of his special someone, what he wasn't expecting was the bright red wooden rose that was perched delicately on top of Blaine's pillow. A small strip of paper had been tied to the stalk with a piece of thin ribbon. Kurt rubbed the sleep away from his eyes and picked up the rose. The small note was written in Blaine's neat hand writing and simply read,
Good morning!
Kurt held the flower carefully as he began his morning routine and head out of his room towards the bathroom. On his way over to the other side of the building, Kurt saw another rose sat next to the fridge but felt like he couldn't betray his schedule and so headed towards the bathroom. Sat perched on the sink next to all of Kurt's facial products was the next rose, this time a yellow one, again with a note but this one read,
You always look stunning :)
Kurt couldn't hide his smile from the mirror as he finished up in the bathroom and headed out to find his third rose again.
The second red rose informed Kurt that Blaine had made him breakfast which was waiting for him in the fridge. Kurt wasn't sure what to expect when he opened the fridge to find his breakfast, but the leftover pizza from the night before with another yellow rose on top was definitely not it.
Sorry I didn't cook anything, I didn't want to wake you!
Kurt broke into a laugh as he grabbed the plate with the pizza on and added the rose to the small pile he was beginning to form. Kurt had decided to leave his suitcase in the flat and rush home to grab it before going to the airport and therefore he left his roses in a small pile on the table, grabbed his coat and headed out to the offices.
Kurt hopped off the subway at the closest stop to his work and as always, stopped off at the coffee shop over the road to get his morning caffeine fix. As Kurt approached the serving desk, the barista that he always saw caught his eye and dashed off to the back room. Kurt looked on, confused as the waitress reappeared with a coffee that had his name on it and yet another red rose. The barista handed over both items with a smile and as Kurt went to get his wallet, a subtle point to the note made him pause.
This one's on me!
Kurt thanked the barista, grabbed the coffee and headed across the road to the office. He headed up to his room and started to work through the first emails of the day, singing one of his favourite songs softly to keep Blaine entertained during the meeting he was stuck in.
Just before lunch Isabel broke Kurt out of his concentration with a light knock on the door frame.
"Hey you, I've been sent here to tell you to stop working so hard and to go home to get married to your gorgeous fiancé." Isabel handed Kurt yet another wooden rose and an envelope.
"I didn't think I was going to get off until the end of the day." Kurt replied, slightly bewildered by the presentation of yet another gift from Blaine. Isabel just winked at him and glided out into the corridor. Kurt flipped the envelope over and opened it to find a plane ticket for the earlier flight out to Ohio that he should have been to late to catch if he was finishing work at his usual time. Kurt grinned at the thought of being able to get back to his family sooner than expected, shut down his computer and almost sprinted out of the building and back to the subway station.
As he got back to the flat, Kurt threw the door open and hurried to grab his suitcase. He also picked up the collection of wooden roses from the table in the kitchen and added the ones he had received during the day. At the last moment, he seized the whole bouquet and put the flowers in his travel bag to take with him on the plane. Kurt ran outside, hailed a taxi and began the journey back to his home town.
Kurt waited at luggage retrieval to try and spot for his designer case spinning round and round on the machinery. As he was stood there he fired off a quick text to Blaine.
I'm almost out of the airport, how is your meeting going? X
Kurt didn't expect an instant reply, but that's what he got.

Kurt saw his bag making its was over to him, hauled it off the metallic tracks and wheeled it over towards the exit. As he rounded one of the last corners he spotted a flash a red and yellow out of the corner of his eye. He looked up to see none other than Blaine himself, holding a bunch of the colourful wooden roses, standing as close as he could get to the exit of the arrivals area. Kurt hurried over and before he could hug Blaine, a small note was held up for him to read.
Welcome home x
Kurt could barely see through the tears, not because he hadn't seen Blaine for days, they had spent longer than just one day apart after all, but because Kurt couldn't believe that Blaine could still surprise him after all the time they had known each other. Kurt threw himself into Blaine's arms and kissed his cheek. The first group of wooden roses was extracted from the bag Kurt had taken on the plane and merge with the group in Blaine's hand to create a huge bundle. Kurt held his beloved and his flowers tight as they began to wander over to the exit of the airport and to Blaine's car.
A few days later, Kurt was pacing in a side classroom in Dalton Academy. He and Blaine had decided that they wanted to finally get married where they had first met, in the halls of Dalton where they had spent the first few months together. Kurt could hear Blaine singing the wedding march, with one or two changes to suit their relationship of course, which would usually help calm Kurt down but was making Kurt even more anxious. A light knock on the door indicated that Blaine was stood just outside the door in his own suit, waiting for Kurt so they could walk down the spiral staircase and stand before Burt to be married.
Kurt took a deep breath, straightened his already immaculate designer suit (donated by Isabel as their wedding present as she couldn't be there in person) then walked over to the door. Blaine was stood looking extremely handsome in another suit from Isabel and smiled as Kurt appeared before him.
"You look amazing." Blaine said with a look of awe. "I love you so much." Kurt glanced down at his outfit with a slight blush before reaching out at taking Blaine's hand.
"So do you, and I love you too." Kurt kissed the back of Blaine's hand. "Shall we?" he said as he tilted his head towards the wedding party. Blaine just nodded back at him and led him to the top of the flight of stairs.
As they walked, hand in hand, down the stairs to the sound of applause from all their friends and family, they passed many huge bouquets of red and yellow roses.
I'm done now. This is it for this fic and I hope you found the ending somewhat satisfying. It's not as long a chapter as I would like it to be but I didn't want to stretch it out too much with lots of mindless waffling.
I couldn't have made it this far without you all, so thank you from the bottom of my heart. 3
