Epilogue

The wedding had gone well. The Bride was beautiful in a fitted ivory wedding gown and the grooms eyes constantly sparkled. Kurt sat watching as his dad and stepmom twirled on the dance floor. He hadn't seen his dad smile like that since before his mum had died but he could see how happy he had been all day. The excitement had turned into awe as Carole had floated down the aisle and become completely content as she became his wife. Everybody else had been enjoying the wedding and reception immensely and even Kurt had to admit today had been a very good day.

Kurt was brought out of his thoughts as he was gently tapped on the shoulder.

"May I have this dance?"

Blaine had been to his word and had made sure there was no doubt in anyone's mind who his date was, for this most anticipated event.

"You know I can't hold my own weight without my cane."

Kurt answered him looking up from his seat, the scarring on his face and neck being thrown into shadows as the lights flashed across the dance floor, slowing for the first group slow song of the evening.

The countertenor glanced towards the dance floor where his dad and new stepmom were being joined by many of his friends and family.

"That's okay. You can lean on me." Blaine's hazel eyes sparkled flecks of gold as he extended his hand to help his slender best friend up out of his seat.

The permanent limp Kurt had been left with after the attack was a lot more noticeable without his sleek black cane as he made his way steadily to the dance floor leaning heavily on Blaine.

Stopping on the side of the smooth floor, out of the way of the other dancers, the shorter teen pulled Kurt towards him, wrapping his arms around his waist to hold him steady as they gently swayed.

They danced together for several moments, silent as the rest of the party went on around them.

"Thank you." Kurt started, leaning back so he could look Blaine in the eyes. "Thank you for being there for me through so much in the past six months. Not only were you there when others weren't willing to see what was happening or when I didn't want to tell. And after everything happened you haven't turned away once, through all of the physio and the counselling, then all of the numerous court dates and after that trying to settle in at Dalton…I just. I don't know how to repay you for all of the kindness, patience and lo-umm I mean friendship that you've shown me.

Kurt's cheeks redden as he tries to correct his slip of the tongue. His eyes dart off towards the other couples still circling the floor as the music continued.

"Kurt, its okay you can say love. That is what I've shown you. What I've felt since we met. I love you Kurt Hummel. I love the perseverance and sometimes stubbornness you've shown learning to walk again, coming into a new school after everything that happened and making new friends. I love that at the trial even when you were in tears you met your tormentors face to face and didn't show them any fear. And mostly I just love you. The stubborn, beautiful caring man I met six months ago that hasn't let anything change him."

Kurt had allowed his eyes to meet Blaine's as the shorter of the pair had started to speak. Blaine beamed at Kurt's incredulous face trying to make the man in front of him see the truth in everything he had said.

They had stopped swaying at some point and were starting to attract looks from the rest of the group as they stood still staring at each other.

The incredulous look on Kurt's face quickly turned contemplative and then questioning as he slowly started to lean in, eyes flickering between the beautiful hazel eyes and the smooth plump lips of the teen still holding him steady.

Their lips connected for what seemed like eternity. Sliding across each other as Kurt's arms tightened around Blaine's neck. Eyelashes brushed cheeks as their heads tilted trying to get closer, melding into one as they continued to kiss.

Pulling apart gently, eyes fluttered open and met for the first time as boyfriends. No more words needed to be said, they both knew without a doubt that their feelings were the same and they would now continue on their path together.
