my true love (klaine advent) day twenty-four yes
also on AO3 and FFN, and you can find all of them on my Tumblr here ♥
written for 2013’s advent challenge but I basically forgot but hey at least it’s the Christmas season?
Kurt is used to hearing ‘no’ – hell, he’s used to not even getting that. He was a spoilt child; then he asked God to make his mommy better and she died anyway; then he wished on every star that he wasn’t gay, please, please, please, and then he fell head over heels with Finn; then he decided to hell with it, he was going to stop asking.
*
Blaine was never really told ‘no’; yes, you can take up piano, yes, you can play polo, yes, you can go to that party, yes, you can go to Dalton, yes, you can have whatever car you like, son.
So he was never told ‘no’ out loud, but he sees it every time his mother’s eyes lingered where the scar on his ribs, every time his father looks at him during a sports game.
*
No, the boys say to his boards; yes, says the boy he just met, who takes his hand and pulls him through the halls and serenades him in front of an entire room of peers.
The best part is, several months later, when Kurt finds the courage to ask, Blaine doesn’t say no – he says maybe, and, mere weeks after that, that turns into a hell yes and Kurt ends up late for dinner.
*
When it’s Blaine’s turn to ask, he gathers their friends and family and rivals, and he has a ring.
Of course Kurt says yes.

There are many ways to say yes and no – body language, slang, idioms, indirect. But this, they find, is the very best of all:
“I do.”
