It was a sunny, yet strangely cool afternoon in late August. Blaine and Kurt sat in a grassy field with no one around, just them and the landscape laid out in front of them. They had been enjoying the whole day together, talking, holding each other, and laughing and now they were waiting for the sun to slowly dip down, out of sight causing the inevitable scatter of color across the sky.
Suddenly, Kurt grew quite. Blaine sitting hip to hip with him notices after a few heavy moments of quiet engulfing them both. He looks at Kurt to see him staring out into the horizon and fields that stretched on forever. Had he just been gazing out without such a lost look, Blaine might have not thought anything wrong.
“Kurt?” Blaine almost half-whispers, still feeling the ever presence of silence that only nature can bestow.
Kurt, breathing in as though he had been holding his breath finally awakens from his deep thoughts. He turns his head to look at Blaine’s concerned face and realizes that he must have looked upset.
“Sorry, I was just thinking about…things.” Kurt replies slowly, looking back out at the open field.
Blaine tilts his head in confusion and searches his boyfriend’s face for any sign of what his thoughts had been. “What kind of things?” He starts to crawl around so he can see Kurt’s face.
Blaine now blocking his view, although he can’t complain because he would rather gaze at the slightly darker boy’s face forever than an acre of dried grass anyday, looks deep into his hazel eyes alight with love and curiosity so strong that Kurt feels as though Blaine can see straight to his soul. He breaks the eye contact and looks down at the yellowed grass beneath them.
“Just things…” he mumbles. He gathers his legs towards his chest as though they might protect from Blaine’s soul-deep hazel gaze.
Blaine playfully scoots up so that his chest presses lightly against his long legs.
“What’s wrong?” Blaine whispers.
“Nothing…I just…” Kurt breathes in a deep breath, “I just don’t want this to end.”
Blaine, seeming to understand his wishes of the summer to last forever, as he had been wishing the same thing earlier that day, said “Kurt, we’re just going back to school.”
“I know, but it’s our last year in high school and then we begin our future. And I don’t know what’s going to happen. I’m just…scared.” He looks to the side not wanting to show his true concerns that were clearly etched upon his face.
Blaine leans his forehead so that it is on Kurt’s temple.
“I know. It’s really scary that we can’t always see what lies ahead or know what’s going to happen, but you know what?” Blaine asks.
Kurt turns his head back to Blaine so that he is finally looking back at the honey deep eyes and whispers faintly, “what?”
“We will always have each other no matter what. And that I’ll love you til the end of time.”
Blaine leans forward, softly kissing his boyfriend’s lips, sealing his words forever with the man he loves.
