Epilogue

"Rachel, if you don't get out of that bathroom this instant, I'm coming in after you," Kurt yells through the closed door. "We're going to be late for Blaine's final performance. And so help me god, if I miss it because you couldn't decide on which kitten sweater to wear…"

Just then the door to the bathroom opens and a puff of steam follows Rachel out as she trills, "All finished, Mr. No Patience at all." She boops Kurt on the nose as she heads for her "bedroom."

"I'm going to be so glad when I don't have to share a bathroom with you anymore," he calls after her.

Rachel blows a raspberry in Kurt's direction before he slams the door to the bathroom.

Kurt sighs. He only has another week of this and then he and Blaine will be together in Blaine's apartment. No nosy, bathroom-hogging Rachel, and walls, actual walls separating the rooms. No more flimsy partitions.

If he were being completely honest with himself, Kurt might have admitted he's going to miss living with his best friend, but today, when he's already running late, and they're easily a 45-minute train ride from the theater, Kurt wouldn't dream of giving her the satisfaction.

Besides, she knows.

While Kurt showers and then meticulously styles his hair, he thinks about the last few years living in New York. He and Blaine have come a long way since sneaking around Lima during Kurt's senior year of high school.

Blaine — soon to be Dr. Anderson — will be teaching music theory and vocal performance full time starting in the fall. And Kurt is still working on his degree at NYADA, having created his own major in costume design his second semester after he realized performance wasn't where his heart is. Something Blaine had told him a long time ago. Not that he ever says, "I told you so."

Kurt still has three semesters to go, but he has a great summer internship lined up thanks to all the connections he made through Blaine's network at Tisch. And it could lead to a job if he plays his cards right. Everything's starting to fall into place.

After getting through the initial shock of finding out Kurt was dating their teacher, New Directions really got behind them. In fact, before they knew Figgins wasn't going to fire Blaine, they planned a protest and made signs to picket the principal's office. Luckily, Blaine stopped them before they egged Figgins' car.

Even Kurt's dad has grown to love Blaine. Burt still gives him grief about being older than Kurt, calling him "old man" and Mr. Anderson more often than is completely necessary, but they both know it's just Burt's way of treating him like family.

Finn and Rachel are in the off-again part of their relationship, but their breakups rarely last for long. Kurt suspects they'll be married not long after Rachel gets her first starring role on Broadway, mostly because she says it all the time.

And whenever Blaine's friends or colleagues ask how they met, Blaine always laughs and says, "It's a long story," and changes the subject by bragging: "Did you know Kurt designed the costumes for our spring showcase last year?"

It's not that he's ashamed; it's just that how they got together isn't what's important. As Kurt constantly reminds him, what's important is that they're together.

"You ready, Kurt?" Rachel calls from the other side of the bathroom door.

"Five minutes," Kurt replies. "Jeez. You had an hour!"

"Fine by me," she says. "I just thought you might not want to keep your fiancé waiting."

Kurt throws open the bathroom door. "My what?! Rachel Berry, you tell me what you know right this instant!"
