Every day this was how Kurt woke up: alarm clock, stretch, turn on computer and smile at the flashing instant message box. Blaine was always online first, up early and waiting to tell Kurt good morning and that he loved him. Each morning he would add something that he missed about Kurt.

"GM Honey couldn't stop thinking last night about the way you stick your tongue out of the side of your mouth when you're doing your calculus homework. I just want to kiss you."

"GM Honey woke up remembering how it feels to catch your eye across the coffee shop and know that we belong to each other. I love you."

At the end of the night they always signed off the computer while on the phone with one another. They had an unspoken deal, they never went to sleep without hearing each other's voice and telling each other they loved each other. More than once they fell asleep still on the phone, just listening to one another breath softly.

Last night as they were quietly chatting the way you do when you're sleepy and cozy and in love, Blaine clearly wanted to hear more of Kurt's voice. He asked if Kurt could have one wish in that moment what he would wish for. He expected to hear something about Broadway, maybe designing in Paris, he wanted to hear his own name mentioned as at least being along for the ride.

What he didn't anticipate was Kurt's whispered response. "To be sleeping next to you."

Blaine's arms had never felt so empty and he'd told Kurt as much.

Today when he signed online and saw Blaine hadn't signed on yet he called him and got a message that this number was no longer in service. He dialed again and received the same message. He attempted to send an instant message and received a notice that he needed to use a valid recipient username.

Fighting against the darkness in his mind that accompanied the sick feeling in his stomach he went downstairs. Saturday morning as usual, Finn and Burt loading the truck to go fishing, Carole was already outside pulling weeds away from her rose bushes. "Dad, got a minute?"

"Finn and I are just about to head out, you want to come? It'd do you good to get out of that room for a change." Burt loaded a cooler full of snacks and bait into the truck as he spoke.

"No, uh, thanks. They took Blaine's phone away."

Burt clearly didn't understand the weight of this for Kurt. "Okay…"

"NOT OKAY. He isn't online which means they most likely took away his computer and his phone is disconnected. Do you not get this? They've cut off any way he has to reach out."

"Or for you to reach him. I told you his father was serious about keeping the two of you away from each other, and Kurt, when I said you needed time away from him I didn't mean connected to him electronically the whole time. I let it go because I know the two of you had" here Burt paused, his mouth twitched, "an important moment together that didn't go the way, well, I mean, I'd hoped for something different for you and y our first time, but this might be good for you both."

Finn clearly hadn't heard the full story of why he and Blaine were being kept apart and he and Kurt exchanged a look over the car at Burt's words. Kurt just nodded and walked quickly away, but Finn followed him back into the house. "Hey man, don't worry, we'll be done fishing by noon, when we get back I'll go over to The Anderson's and check on him. Why don't you write him a note or whatever and I'll take it to him."

Kurt thanked Finn and reflected on how happy and lucky he was to have a brother who would stand by him as he headed back to his room to compose a letter for Blaine. He got about three lines in before he realized that a letter couldn't say what he needed to and pulled out his laptop to burn a cd.

He chose them without listening to them; he knew each by heart and knew listening would just make him cry. It took all he had to not get in his car and head to Blaine, he didn't care how angry either of their fathers got. The only thing that stopped him was the understanding that he would have to leave Blaine there to deal with the repercussions alone.

The morning took forever, but at last Finn came home, picked up the CD and started off for Blaine's with instructions from Kurt. "Tell him I love him, tell him if h e needs me to tell you now and I'll come, I don't care, I'll bring him here, Dad will just have to deal, tell him…"

"Kurt," Finn held up a hand, "I'm gonna tell him, okay, but Blaine knows, just like you know. Rachel and I we go back and forth and I've had my doubts and she's made mistakes and it's all a mess but you and Blaine, you know, just trust that. I'll have him call you from my phone if we get a chance to be alone, just try to relax."

It took much too long but finally Kurt's phone rang, the display showed Finn's name so he answered quickly, pacing the room, his words tumbling out onto one another, "Hey, honey, what's going on? Do you want me to come over?"

Finn's voice was a shock, "It's me. I'm sorry."

"Wh-what's going on?" Kurt sank onto a chair.

"Blaine's gone."
