The first one came out of left field. Kurt couldn't have been more surprised if a foul ball had come and hit him on the head.

It was a beautiful May day, and Kurt was busy ranking the baseball players' degrees of hotness. In the past couple years, Seb has dragged him to enough games that he's gotten over his aversion to the players' stirrup pants and gained an appreciation for the tight uniforms.

Plus, it was nice to sit in the stands, Seb's arm casually slung over his shoulders as they sipped cool beer.

It was around the fifth inning when he was roused from his contemplation of Brett Gardner's ass by a nudge from the woman sitting on his left.

"You guys are on the Jumbotron!" She screeched, the loud noise making Kurt freeze like there was a national emergency broadcast sound or something.

Blinking fast, Kurt glanced over to the massive screen, and blushed when he saw Seb and himself in full high definition, with a heart-shaped frame around them and "Kiss Cam" flashing along the bottom. OMG... No Fucking Way...

Looking over at his boyfriend, Kurt just rolled his eyes at the delighted smirk that was stretching over his face. Seb fucking loved this. Sighing, Kurt knew he was probably going to get some very, very public PDA in a minute.

But instead of leaning in to plant a big kiss on Kurt's lips, Seb stood up, holding his hands up and looking around to get the attention of those nearby. And then he dropped onto one knee in the cramped space near his seat, and took Kurt's left hand with both of his.

Kurt froze, his heart caught in his throat, very conscious of everyone around them looking their way. Knowing he was probably wide-eyed and bright red with embarrassment, feeling very self-conscious.

Seb was as cool as a mint julip, smiling at everyone around them broadly before he focused back on Kurt, his eyes full of laughter and affection. "Kurt Elizabeth Hummel, these last two years together have been the happiest of my life. I love you so much. Will you marry me?"

Swallowing hard, Kurt could only stare down into Seb's green eyes, the eyes of the man he had been waking up beside the last year. The man who he'd shared birthdays, Christmas and holidays with. The man he'd kissed a thousand times. And he couldn't think of what to say.

Finally, he smiled and hauled Seb up into his arms, hugging him tightly. Everyone around them was cheering and clapping, thinking Kurt had said Yes.

But he pressed his mouth close to Seb's ear, speaking so he could be heard. "Bas, I love you too. So much. But I'm not ready to get engaged yet."

Pulling back slightly, Seb's eyes met his and he nodded. He gave a rueful smile, not really surprised at Kurt's answer. They were so young still to make such a serious commitment. And Kurt had just graduated from NYADA and was busy auditioning for roles and working with Isabelle. Seb still had another year at Columbia.

But forever the showman, Seb still gave a wide grin and dipped Kurt, planting a thorough kiss that left him breathless and blushing by the time they both settled back in their seats.

Cuddling together, Kurt shared many long looks with Seb as the people around them gave congratulations and cheerfully accepted the beers that got sent their way.

When they eventually got home, Kurt took Seb by the hand right to the bedroom, stripping him slowly, and letting him know, again and again, with his words and actions, how much he truly loved him. It wasn't a good time in their lives to get engaged, but Kurt was very appreciative of being asked.
