Author's Note: Sorry this took so long, but here's the epilogue!


Thursday April 11th, 2013

I somehow found time to buy a new journal today, which is incredibly fortunate because I feel as though the next week or so is going to be incredibly important. Kurt agreed to go out to dinner with Liz and Jan. Although he was really confused about why we were going out to dinner with them. But I convinced him that it would be interesting to go out to dinner with a lesbian couple who had grown up in Ohio. Sure, we have the Berry's to talk to, but I insisted that this would be fun and enlightening in different ways than talking Leroy and Hiram is. Really I just want him to hear their story. I know that he's been slowly moving to a place where we can possibly date again, but I thought the dinner might be a helpful push in the right direction. Jan told me their story while I was ring shopping, and I want him to hear about how they dealt with break ups and still persevered.

I'm not entirely certain how successful my endeavor was – Kurt was a bit distant, sometimes I can't really tell with him. Jan proposed to Liz during dinner though (it was so so cute, especially after getting to hear their whole story) and Kurt seemed excited about it so... that's good news. I think. I hope. Because after school today I bought the ring. It's a simple but elegant band and I think he'll really like it.

And I know, I know, Kurt and I aren't back together and Burt said no, but... I think I might do it anyways. I've thought about it and I want to get married to Kurt. I want to spend the rest of my life with him. Why not start that as soon as I can. So I bought a ring and I still need a plan, but I have a ring. I'm going to propose to Kurt.

Okay, time for bed because it's Regional's tomorrow!

Wow. So. Today. Umm, well, we all knew Brittany was going to be leaving us soon, but her actually saying goodbye to us (in her usual Brittany speak) was a really somber way to start our circle. It was a good reminder of how we're all a family, old and new New Directions members though. After Ryder freaking out at Unique it was a reminder that we all needed. And I think our performance was the best we've done all year. I'm not even bragging, we took home the win, so, the judges agreed with me. Plus, Marley and I sang one of her original songs – All or Nothing – and we rocked it. Especially coupling it with Hall of Fame. It was just a really great upbeat set and... it was refreshing to not have a ballad or... well, okay Tina's solo during Sectional's rocked but it was completely overshadowed by Marley passing out. It was an interesting change though to not have any solos where the rest of us came onstage at the tail end of the performance. Not saying that I don't miss solos with the Warblers, but that was different everyone made up an important part of every song we sang. All of the Warblers were necessary pieces to the songs, not add ons.

Anyways, they announced our win and it was... wonderful. It was weird to not be onstage celebrating with Kurt, but he was out in the audience and I got to see him right after which made me feel better about it. Plus, it was so rewarding to finally win with that group. We've all come so far since September and finally getting to experience a win as a team was wonderful.

The after part of Regionals was actually even better than the performance and winning. Mr. Schue and Ms. Pilsbury got married. In the choir room. I'm not going to delve into how weird it was that they chose to get married in front of New Directions and no one else, because that was weird and kind of wildly inappropriate. Granted, the fact that Finn was part of the Valentine's Day wedding party wasn't much better. I worry sometimes about Mr. Schue not having any adult friends. Anyways. Ms. Pilsbury came in with a priest and it was really really sweet. We all hummed the wedding march for her, and then a few words were said and they were married.

On the high of winning Regionals I had kind of been considering just proposing to Kurt right there - I've been carrying the ring around because Kurt's flight back to New York is Tuesday and I don't know if I'll get to see him before graduation in a few months so I don't want to miss my chance - but I decided not to propose there. It just, didn't feel right. Besides, Kurt has always been firm in his belief that it is tacky to propose at a wedding (or to announce a pregnancy, but that isn't really an issue for us).

Actually, today I started thinking that I should slow down like Burt wanted and see if Kurt is up for us simply getting back together. I could... oo! Santana leaves tomorrow, maybe I could ask Kurt to have a picnic with me or something before he goes. I bet I could put together a musical number to celebrate when he says yes. I know he will. In the hallway the other day he looked so excited and then disappointed when I asked him to stay for Regionals. I think he thought I was going to ask him out. So. He'll say yes. Probably. I'll have to start planning tomorrow and find some time to rehearse in the courtyard. I should also probably text Kurt about meeting me for a picnic. I wouldn't want it all to fall through because I forgot the key ingredient.

On that happy note, I am going to go to bed and dream up some plans.

I've thought about it. And I think I'm going to just dive in and ask him out. The two of us have talked over our break up and cheating and my doubts. Kurt's fully settled in New York now. It would probably be far too presumptuous of me to propose before he even agreed to get back together with me anyways. He always used to say that I was good at romance, I just needed a receptive audience. Him. So I'm asking him out tomorrow. It's going to be awesome. Hopefully he'll say yes.

Blaine Anderson here, reporting that Kurt Hummel is officially my boyfriend once again. You know how I had that whole musical number planned out for further persuasion or celebration if he said yes to us getting back together? Well, I didn't end up actually needing that. In fact, Kurt had a number of his own prepared with the marching band. I don't know how he pulled that off, but I'm just so happy. Duetting with Kurt again was wonderful. But the fact that he had planned on us getting back together today even if I hadn't brought it up? Well that just made my day. My year, really.

He also apparently lied to me. His flight doesn't leave until Friday night. So we get to have some time together before he leaves! …Perhaps even enough time for me to propose? I've had this idea in my head for a while now about the most romantic way to propose to Kurt, and I think I could pull it off within the next few days. I need to check in with Burt about it again, but I want to marry Kurt. I love Kurt. It's not just the idea of marriage that I love, it's Kurt. I would go through hell for him because he's just… he's my best friend, you know? He's my other half. I can survive without him, but given the choice? I want him in my life. Always. And why not start that as soon as I can?

Also, I want to propose at Dalton and who knows when we'll get the chance to go back there if I don't do it now. For now, I'm off to go talk to the Headmaster at Dalton so I can recruit more help in the morning! And Kurt's my boyfriend again. We're getting coffee before school.

Kurt and I are together again. We're boyfriends.

Blaine 3 Kurt

He said yes. HE SAID YES. I can't believe he actually said yes. Especially after he looked so nervous at first, but he said yes. Kurt Hummel is my fiancé. Kurt wants to spend the rest of his life with me, and not just in some abstract way. We're getting married someday. Obviously not for a while seeing as how we just got engaged and we're living in different states, but still.

The whole proposal was kind of a whirlwind, but it went even better than I had imagined. Burt somehow even got Kurt to Dalton without spilling the beans and Kurt said yes. I still don't know how I made it through my speech without crying or forgetting something but I did it. And wow. Kurt and I are engaged.

Of course, Kurt still had to catch his flight afterwards because he couldn't miss anymore school or time at Vogue, but Burt let me tag along. Kurt and I may have spent half of that time trying to make out without getting too carried away or having Burt yell at us. I know, I know, 'making out in cars with another person driving is poor etiquette'. But we just got engaged. After the two of us managed to stop kissing, the three of us just talked and it was so nice to feel like I was truly part of the family again. I know that Burt never hated me, but things never felt quite right between us until now, especially when Kurt was around. There was always a bit of tension – the shadowy reminder of how it used to be – hanging in the air. Things are much better now.

On the way home, Burt had a talk with me. He wanted to make sure I know that he's there to talk to if I'm missing Kurt and Kurt isn't there to talk to. He also told me in no uncertain terms that I would be joining the family for Friday night dinners until I move to New York. It'll be weird going without Kurt, but I love the Hummel's so it should be good.

Now I need to go write a million thank you notes to everyone who helped me pull off that proposal. I should probably also take Rachel and Santana out to dinner or something because they came home just to help me.
