Kurt Hummel and Blaine Anderson were Broadway sensations.

'Risking It with a New Yorker' was a massive success, and it won several awards for being 'Best New Musical', 'Most Inspirational Story', and such like. Kurt and Blaine also won awards, Blaine being voted as the year's 'Best Uprising Star'.

But, when the show was over and the excitement died down, Kurt and Blaine came down off of their Cloud 9 and settled into what was now their life – a life together. They stayed in Blaine's apartment for a while, but it soon became obvious that it was too small for them both. They decided to buy a small bungalow, just two blocks away from Rachel and Finn's house. For a while neither of them had a major performing job, they didn't see anything worth auditioning for, and they both wanted to focus on their newly renewed relationship and getting their life together built. Michael was very gracious about his and Kurt's break-up, and although he and Jason didn't actually start dating he seemed happier. He even let Blaine perform in his restaurant often, turning Friday evenings into 'Music Night', which turned out to be a great hit. Kurt performed as well sometimes, but Blaine turned out to become a crowd favourite.

Jason and Michael became very close friends, but they agreed not to date due to the fact that they would be working together in Michael's restaurant every day. Kurt was pretty sure that they were 'friends with benefits', but even so, they were both happy and that was all that mattered. Michael's restaurant continued to thrive and gain popularity, and after a year of success he opened up a second branch on the other side of the city, making Jason the manager and head chef there. Admittedly, Jason was incredibly clumsy, but he really was a fantastic chef.

Blaine was ecstatic that he and Kurt were finally back together. He had spent five years feeling lost and empty, desperately trying to fill up the hole in his heart but at the same time wanting it to stay just so he could keep the memories of Kurt. Now that they were back together though, the hole was sealed with the power of Kurt's requited love, and he was able to grow. He and Kurt went back to being like they were in High School – hopelessly fawning over each other at every opportunity – but they were more mature this time. They were completely open with each other so that they faced no more major issues like they had back then, and this made their fresh relationship stronger still. Kurt was happier than he had been in a long time, it taking the feelings he had around Blaine to realise what he had been missing with Michael.

It was really going to work this time, they were sure of it and although they had had issues both men were sure that they were meant to be together and that nothing could drag them away from each other again. They took it slow, but at the same time their relationship was filled with a new passion, knowing that they had overcome so much to be together again. They reminded each other every day of how in love they were, and it was after a year and half of being more and more in love every single day, that Kurt decided to take the next step.

Kurt took a deep breath, and stroked the velvet of the small blue box in his hands. Blaine was in the bathroom taking a shower before they went out to dinner for his birthday, and Kurt was sitting on the edge of the bed, playing with the box.

That box, it held everything. It held a symbol of Kurt's love and devotion to Blaine, it held a promise that that love would last till the day they died, it held a declaration of the passion and emotion that Kurt felt inside his heart every second he was around Blaine. It held a promise of a future that they could have. A beautiful future for them to share.

Kurt heard the water of the shower turn off, and he jumped up to take a last look in the mirror. He was wearing his best suit, a plain black Armani ensemble, with a red rose tucked into the button hole, and a red tie around his neck. He ran a nervous hand through his hair, and then flailed madly trying to put it back into its perfect place. When finally reassured that everything was perfect, he put the velvet box into his inside breast pocket, patting it gently to make sure it was securely held in there.

Blaine came out of the bathroom and Kurt had to take a deep breath at the view. Blaine was still slightly wet, water dripping from his luscious curls and running down his muscular back, stopping at the towel wrapped loosely around his hips. He rooted around in the wardrobe for a minute, pulling out his own suit that reminded Kurt of his dapper Dalton uniform, and turned around to see Kurt staring. He grinned, "Like what you see, Hummel?" and with a wink he stripped off the towel in order to dry himself properly. Kurt swallowed, realising that his mouth had been wide open, and stepped out of the bedroom to give Blaine some privacy and clear his head of his entirely inappropriate thoughts.

When they got to the restaurant later that evening, Kurt and Blaine ordered their drinks and starters, before Kurt excused himself for a moment. Stepping into the corridor that led to bathrooms, he sent a quick message to three of his closest friends. Then he snuck back into the main room of the restaurant, careful not to let Blaine see him, and exchanged a few words with one of the waiters.

Just then, the lights dimmed, and as everybody in the restaurant glanced around confused, Kurt took a deep breath and stepped up onto the small stage that stood in the corner of the room. He walked up to the mic, and a spotlight shined down on him. He looked across the room and spotted Blaine looking at him, a shocked but interested look on his face and a small smile playing around his lips.

"First of all," Began Kurt, looking across everyone sitting in the restaurant, "My name is Kurt Hummel, and I'd like to say a huge happy birthday to my wonderful boyfriend, Blaine Anderson. I love you honey." Everybody smiled and a couple of people said small 'awww's, and the room clapped as Blaine grinned widely. "But now I have something much more important to say," the room silenced again and a confused look spread across Blaine's face, "Something that is so important to me that I don't think I can just say it. So instead, I'm going to sing it."

Finn, Rachel, and Mercedes stepped up from apparently nowhere and joined Kurt on the stage. Kurt nodded to the waiter he had spoken to earlier, and he pressed a button on a machine that began playing some slow but happy music. Kurt began singing right away, with the three others on stage singing back up oohs and ahhs and swaying. Kurt had slightly modified the lyrics to fit his situation, but the song was still beautiful.

The snow is falling, the city is white
Your eyes are shining like diamonds tonight
And we're all alone
There's no one home
You're finally in my arms again
The night is silent
and we are both here
I couldn't ask for more than having you near
Cuz I love you boy,
I always will
And now I know the moment is right

Blaine couldn't keep the enormous grin off of his face as he sat staring at his beautiful boyfriend who was staring right back at him. Blaine's heart faltered as he heard the chorus and he finally realised what this song meant.

Cuz I've been waiting to give this gift tonight
I'm down on my knees, there's no better time
It's something to last for as long as you live
Tonight I'm going to give you (oh boy!) all my heart can give!

I thought I'd give you something shiny and new
I tried to find something worthy of you
But I realized, when I looked inside
There's some things that money can't buy!
Oh no!
I feel the magic, whenever you're near
I feel it even more this time of the year
Cuz I love you boy
I always will
And now I know the moment is right

During the second verse, Kurt had stepped off the stage and made his way across the room slowly to Blaine, all eyes following him. He arrived next to Blaine's table and sunk to one knee, singing out the chorus again as Blaine's eyes filled with tears of joy.

Cuz I've been waiting to give this gift tonight!
I'm down on my knees, there's no better time
It's something to last for as long as you live
Tonight I'm going to give you all my heart can give!

You know I'll always be true to you
And you know I'm the one you can turn to
Oh oh yeah
Any time, any place, or anywhere
you know that I'll always be there!

Kurt pulled his hands from Blaine's, and he stood up again, the three backup singers surrounding him and joining in to belt out the final chorus. Blaine couldn't hold back the sobs of joy as he laughed lovingly at Kurt's amazing gesture.Cuz I've been waiting to give this gift tonight
I'm down on my knees, there's no better time
It's something to last for as long as you live
Tonight I'm going to give you all my heart can give

Cuz I've been waiting to give this gift tonight
I'm down on my knees, there's no better time
It's something to last for as long as you live
Tonight I'm going to give you all my heart can give.

As the music slowed and faded out, the restaurant erupted into applause and cheers, as Kurt knelt down onto one knee again. He reached into his pocket, and Blaine took a sharp intake of breath as he pulled out a blue velvet box.

He held it open, showing Blaine a beautiful ring. It was simple but gorgeous, a white gold ring with small diamonds laid out in a dainty pattern across the top. Finn, Rachel, and Mercedes all grinned as Kurt said, voice thick with emotion, "Blaine Anderson, I love you with all my heart. I always have and I always will. Please will you do me the amazing honour of becoming my husband?"

Blaine choked out a sob as he nodded his head frantically and held out his hand for Kurt to push the ring onto. "Yes!" He finally managed to choke out, "Yes yes yes yes yes! Oh Kurt, I love you so much!" Tears streamed down his face as he pulled Kurt up and embraced him in a soft but passionate kiss. Their lips moulded together perfectly, and both boys tasted the salty bite of tears, but they didn't care. The moment was too perfect, and the room erupted into immense applause again.

They were finally where they belonged again, and it was all because they had decided on risking it with a New Yorker.


It's done! I really enjoyed writing this, even if it was a bit depressing at times, and I really hope everyone enjoyed reading it. I want to thank each and every one of you who reviewed, favourited, or followed me or the story - it's really appreciated. A special thankyou to Rene95 who was my first reviewer and stuck with the story giving brilliant advice and encouragement all the way through, thanks! :)

There will be a sequel to this I think, but I haven't got down to really planning it yet so I have no idea where it's going to go. Hopefully it will be a little longer too, and more fluffy! 3 Please read it when I get around to writing it!

Love you all lots! xxx
