"I love you too. So much," Blaine nodded, sniffling. "And I don't want you to either. I don't, I swear. I am so proud of what you've accomplished. I knew someone would see your gift. I knew it. I just didn't know what would happen to me without you. I thought I could handle it. I didn't know the extent of how weak I was, or the growing I need to do to deserve you."

He wiped at his eyes with the back of his hand. "I know. I know I have to wait for you. I know that I have to wait until May. I screwed up. And you have no reason to really believe me. But I promise, it's you. Just you. No matter how I feel, no matter how lonely I get, I will not break my vow to you again, for the rest of our lives. I want you to be the only boy I ever kiss goodnight and curl around and cherish. I want you."
