Chapter 33: Their love
5 months later
Kurt smiled beamed brightly as he handed his student, Joey, a new music book, having successfully moved up a grade. He would now be tackling harder pieces but Kurt had no doubt that he would do wonderfully.
"Thank you so much Kurt," Joey beamed, quickly darting forward and hugging him around the middle.
Kurt hugged him back before releasing him. "I'm so proud of you Joey. You are doing so well."
Joey's mother clapped from where she sat on the couch with Blaine, both of them wearing identical grins.
"I've been looking into some competitions," Kurt explained while Joey packed up his belongings, his music lesson finished for the day. "I think Joey would do really well in them and it would be a great stepping stone if you want to continue with music."
"I want to be a professional piano player," Joey said eagerly, bouncing on his toes. "I'll do the competition."
"Thank you Kurt," Joey's mother said.
"It's no problem," Kurt said and handed her out the details he had printed off. "Next lesson we'll find a piece for you to perform and work on that. So for homework, I want you to bring three pieces that you would want to perform."
Joey nodded firmly, determined to do Kurt proud. His eyes darted quickly to his wrists that were covered by a white bandage. They darted back up to Kurt and he smiled, the small relief he felt that Kurt was still here to be his piano teacher was still here to teach him.
"Great," Kurt said, clapping his hands together. "Then I will see you soon. Have a safe drive back."
"We will. Thanks again Kurt and it's so good to have you back," Joey's mother said. With a warm smile to the couple she led her son out of the house and to their cars.
Kurt had only just started getting back to teaching music again. The first few months of being out of the hospital and going to therapy had been exhausting, leaving both Kurt and Blaine with nothing but wanting to be with one another.
Valarie, Simon and Cooper had been amazing and the happily married couple were overwhelmed by the amount of love that was being thrown their way. They had stayed with them for a couple of months, helping them out and supporting them. There had been a few bad days where Kurt withdrew, just wanting to be alone with Blaine holding him, never speaking. But they grew less and less until Kurt was once again his happy self.
Blaine watched the light return to his eyes and was relieved to see that his husband was okay again. New Directions, for once, had listened. They had stayed far away and Blaine half expected it was because he had taken a restraining order out on Tina and Rachel, to keep them far away from his husband.
Often when Kurt was asleep in his arms, Blaine would gently trace the scars across his wrists, nearly identical to his own. It was a constant reminder of how close he could have lost him and that he needed to show Kurt just how much he was in love with him every day.
Blaine was brought out of his thoughts as his husband settled himself on his lap, wrapping his head around his neck.
"You look deep in thought," he teased lightly. "Everything okay?"
Blaine wrapped his arms around his husband's waist and smiled at him adoringly. "Everything is fine," he assured him. "I was just thinking about how nice it is to see you teaching again."
A rosy pink hue rose on Kurt's cheeks. "I do love it. I've missed it so much. It's nice to be back."
Blaine leaned up and kissed his husband deeply, moaning when Kurt deepened the kiss. They melted into the kiss, leaning back against the couch cushions. The kissed leisurely, taking their time to just explore.
Kurt pulled away gently but didn't go far. His lips were swollen, eyes glazed over.
"I love you," he murmured sincerely.
"I love you too sweetheart," Blaine promised, coaxing him back into another kiss.
They would have many kisses over the years and both looked forward to each and every one of them. They had the rest of their lives and both were content to spend in each other's arms.
