they’ve talked about marriage before because of course they have
in the abstract sense, when they watch kurt’s vhs recording of the royal wedding for the tenth time, sprawled across his bed and passing a bowl of veggie chips between them, talking about fall colors versus spring colors and her dress and the love-to-hate-‘em hats of the royal family
in the past tense, when they discuss kurt’s father’s wedding, still laughing about the doves and the glitter as kurt pulls out a photo album and blaine grins, sitting between kurt’s legs on the floor while kurt is on the couch, and kurt blushes when blaine compliments how quickly he pulled the wedding together on a limited budget
in the present tense, when kurt rants about finn and rachel getting married and how bad of an idea it is, gesticulating wildly and pausing every so often to readjust the neckline of his shirt that keeps dipping lower and lower (blaine doesn’t mind), explaining the harebrained reverse psychology attempt his parents are trying as Blaine adds more chocolate chips to the cookie dough mixture while kurt’s distracted
in the future tense, blaine’s arms wrapped around kurt’s middle as they sway back and forth in his room, dancing to the light music from the speakers, whispering things like you’ll make an honest man out of me yet, kurt and not if you propose first, and they giggle and argue about the hyphenation of their last names and the font on the invitations and what caribbean island they’ll honeymoon to
because of course they do
