"Hey, dude." Finn said, scratching his back while making his way to the kitchen. "Watcha doin'?"

"College application." Kurt replied without even looking up from the computer's screen. Finn couldn't hide his bright grin.

"Are you for real?" he exclaimed, making his way towards his brother. "That's amazing, Kurt!"

"Woah, calm down there..." Kurt couldn't contain his chuckle. "I'm not in New York yet, remember?"

"I know! But you're filling your application, you're thinking about your future." Finn smiled. "You're moving on!"

"Is that a good thing?" Kurt sighed, letting his arms drop on his lap, tipping his head back and closing his eyes.

"Hey, nope, stop doing that." Finn frowned at him, slapping his hands away from his lap and forcing his head back up.

"Dumbass." Kurt muttered, Finn then laughed fondly.

"You'll thank me later, lil' bro."

"Bro! It's so good to see you!" Cooper said, almost crushing his younger brother. It was time for one of their family gatherings. Family being: Cooper; Sarah, his wife; Sean, Conner and Blaine.

"It's great to see you too, Coop!" Blaine smiled widely, getting his suitcase and stepping in.

"Uncle Blainey!" Sean, the youngest, exclaimed, running to his only uncle and hugging his legs.

"Well, how is my little Sean doing?" Blaine smiled down at the little boy, picking him up and pressing a gentle kiss to his messy sand-brown hair. He fucking loved kids.

"I'm not little, uncle Blainey. I'm a grown-up!" the little boy frowned, squinting his big blue eyes.

"Well, what should I call you then? Big Sean?" Blaine pretended to be offended by his nephew.

"No! Just Sean!" Sean laughed. "I'm almost 6, ok?"

"Ok, Just Sean, I want to talk to your mom and your brother, ok? Want me to put you down?" he asked.

"Nope, carry me." the little boy laughed, delighted to have his uncle back.

"As you wish..." he said, walking to the living room, where Sarah watched some kind of culinary show and Conner played with his hot-wheels.

"Look who's here! It's Uncle Blainey!" Sean shouted to his mom and brother. Conner looked up and his face cracked into a huge smile. Sarah came to hug Blaine tightly.

"Did you make up your mind?" she asked, referring to his college plans.

"Yeah..." he said awkwardly, he never felt awkward around them, but the situation he found himself at the moment wasn't exactly pleasant.

"Hi!" Conner said happily, hugging Blaine tightly.

"How are you doing, Con?" Blaine smiled, looking back and forth between Conner and Sean. He was really regretful of not being a bigger part of their lives, they were growing up fast. The little boy shrugged.

"Yeah, I guess..." he chuckled, looking at his feet and bouncing a little.

"Good..." Blaine ruffled his hair and put Sean down. "I really missed you guys... all of you." he said, gesturing to Sarah and Cooper as well. Cooper seemed to notice Blaine's uneasy behavior.

"Kids... Why don't you go take a shower and leave daddy, mommy and Blainers alone so we can talk?"

"But dad!" Sean whimpered. "We only have one bathroom in our room!"

"Conner, do you mind using the guest room's bathroom?" Cooper laughed.

"No, daddy, I can go." and with that, both boys went upstairs so they could shower. Blaine could sense what was about to come, he was finally sitting down and talking for real about his future in years, nervous was an understatement.

"Do you want anything to drink, Blaine?" Sarah asked, already heading to the kitchen.

"Um... water is fine." Blaine smiled tightly.

"So...?" Cooper asked quietly, sitting down on the couch and motioning for Blaine to join him, Blaine sat down with a thump.

"I... I'll take any help you can give me, Coop." he sighed, looking defeated.

"Are you serious?" Cooper exclaimed. "That's great! Have you filled the application yet?"

Blaine could only nod.

"So... I'll be moving to New York soon, you guys..." Blaine said, adjusting his glasses and smiling politely at the support group. "Mr. Harolds will be your new counselor, so that's basically the last time I'll be here before I move..."

Some people aw'ed, some people didn't care. Kurt was the only one who felt a pang in his chest.If he's going to New York, we won't have daily interaction anymore... even though I'm coming too...

"I'd just like to thank you guys for all the support you've been giving me all this time." he said and a few of them chuckled. "No, I'm serious, you guys make me want to study for real so I can help many, many more people. You give me all the inspiration I need. And although I'm sad to go, I know I'm leaving all of you in good hands and that someday I'll able to look back and say 'hey, that's what kept me going when I was going through a rough time.' so... thank you, I hope you all have a good life."
