Author's Notes:

*knock, knock* Someone still reading this story?

The song used was Not Alone from the amazingly talented Darren Criss. I just thought this song fitted for this chapter so I just sqeeuzed it in. Hope youll liked the chapter. And Yes, again a cliffhanger. I just love them.

Any ideas how Kurt will react now he knows the truth? Will he accept Blaine or run away back to Lima?;)

Let me know what you think, I love to hear your ideas.

Kurt could feel movement next to his bed and he could smell Blaine's cologne. He smiled but didn't open his eyes just yet. What was Blaine doing here? He could hear drawers of his nightstand been opened and closet. Then a silence and he could feel Blaine's eyes on him. ‘Do you always sneak in to bedrooms, sniffing through other people's drawers?'

‘Do you always pretend to be asleep?'

Kurt opens his eyes smiling, looking up to see Blaine standing there. ‘You didn't answer my question.'

‘Oh, I just wanted to check up on you, but your scent…. It's everywhere, I got distracted,' Blaine said.

Kurt's eyes widened in horror. My scent? Again? He sniffs and wrinkled his nose in disgust. Blaine smiles, he couldn't help it. Kurt was adorable. ‘Oh my gaga, do I really smell that bad? I use every strong cologne I could find since you last mentioned it.'

Blaine immediately regretted his words. How can I be so stupid and insensitive? Kurt's been through a lot and he's insecure and I'm not helping either. ‘No, no, I just… You smell great.'

‘I doubt that, but thanks.' Kurt yawns.

‘How's your ankle?' Blaine asks, moving closer. 

Kurt sat up and pulled of the blanket covering his body. He looked at his ankle. It was bruised but he didn't really feel any pain. The memories of last night kept flying back and he shivers. Then he remembered something. ‘…or a human who's bitten can turn into a werewolf.' He took in a sharp breath, studying his ankle. But he wasn't bitten right? Oh my gaga, I can't change into a werewolf .I…

‘Kurt, calm down!' Blaine's voice interrupted his thoughts and Kurt looked right into the golden eyes. ‘You're having a panic attack. What's wrong?'

‘I… werewolves….'  Kurt got out of bed, winced when he still could feel his ankle, but ignored it and walked towards his window. He was staring down at the forest beneath him. It was a sunny day and the forest looks so harmless. Did the Andersons even know what was in the forest? He looked at Blaine who didn't seemed shocked about his freak out of ‘werewolves'. They knew.

‘Calm down, Kurt.'

‘Do you think they can crawl through my window?'

‘What?'

‘Blaine, there are werewolves and one of them got a hold of my ankle, what if he comes back to finish the job?' Kurt panicked. 

Blaine put his arms on Kurt's shoulder and pulled him closer. ‘Kurt, you are 100% safe here. Nothing is going to harm you. I promise.'

Kurt relax slightly, he took in a deep breath. ‘I'm sorry. I…'

‘It's okay, you've been through a lot yesterday. If you want to talk about it, you can always talk to me.'

‘Thank you but no,' Kurt said, walking over to his closet. ‘I never ever want to be anywhere near a werewolf in my life.' He grabs some clothes and didn't notice the hurt on Blaine's face. ‘I'm going to take a shower. See you downstairs?'

Blaine nodded, feeling numb. Once Kurt closed the door Blaine made his way downstairs. This didn't going well. Kurt was scared. How am I supposed to tell Kurt how I feel about him? Or how am I suppose to tell him the truth about what I am? He would freak out. The hope he got yesterday was pretty much gone. He opens the door to the kitchen were Jeff, Nick and his parents  eating breakfast.

‘So how is our damsel in distress?' Jeff teased. But his grin disappeared when he saw the sad look on Blaine's face. ‘What's wrong?'

Blaine didn't answer, grabs a plate and stared at the toast Elise put on his plate. Elise looks worried. ‘Honey…'

‘He Is afraid of werewolves.' Blaine spoke softly.

‘He said that?' Nick asks.

‘Not with words, but you should've seen his face…'

‘I'm not surprised after everything he's been through,' James said. ‘We should be extra careful not to spoil anything. He would freak out if he knew that he lives with a pack of wolves.'

They'll nodded and turned back to their breakfast. Blaine still not eating anything. Elise noticed. ‘Why aren't you eating, Blaine? What's wrong?'

‘I… I just… hoped that Kurt would understand. I wanted to ask him to be my boyfriend, I wanted to tell him everything but after…'

‘Finally! We could go on double dates.' Jeff squealed.

‘You totally should tell him how you feel!' Nick nods.

‘Guys didn't you hear me? He doesn't want anything to do with werewolves.' Blaine sighs.  ‘If I tell him what I am… he will run away.'

‘Don't be so quick to judge,' James said. ‘I think that kid can handle it.'

‘Really?' Blaine looks up in surprise. He didn't think his dad would agree with his choice, but everyone knew that you can't interfere when someone chooses their mates.  Even the Alpha, James, couldn't do anything about it.

‘Just take it easy on him, ask him out, have a couple dates. You don't have to let him know you're a werewolf immediately.'

‘I hate lying.'

‘It's for the best.'

Elise looks at her son with worried eyes. ‘Are you sure you chose Kurt as your mate, Blaine? There are enough males out there who would love to be your mate.'

‘Elise!' James warns. Elise looks at her husband but then stared back at Blaine.

‘Eh… I'm sure, mom, he is the one for me I can feel it in every bone in my body,' Blaine said confused. ‘Why? What's wrong?'  Elise stands up and ran outside without another word. Blaine turns to his father. ‘Dad? What's wrong with mom? Why can't I chose Kurt?'

‘Nothing's wrong,' James sighs, sipping her coffee. ‘It's Kurt's mother, Elizabeth. She wasn't… accepting of our secret when it came out. She broke all contact with our family but didn't tell Burt anything.  Elise was broken.'

‘And she thinks Kurt will react the same way?' Blaine asks.

‘It took her a lot of power to take Kurt in house over the summer. Elise found out from Burt how Elizabeth died, she blames herself for it.'

‘But, that's insane!' Jeff said. ‘It was a accident.'

Blaine looks at his father. ‘it was a accident, right?'

‘The police reports said she drowned, but nobody knows what happened. We can't change the past, we need to focus on the future. Your future.'

Blaine shifted nervously. ‘So you don't mind that I chose Kurt?'

‘Why would I mind? You two both don't listen to me,' James joked.  ‘I say you two are meant to be.' He winks. ‘I'll go find Elise.'  And he left the three teenagers alone.

‘So tell us how you plan to win Kurt's heart?' Jeff asks.

Kurt stands in front of the mirror, shifting nervously, to gave his outfit one last check over. It's been a hour since Blaine asked Kurt to come with him and spend the day at the park. He said he had something prepared. Kurt didn't like surprises. A surprise always ended up getting a slushy facial, dumped in the dumpster or getting beat up. Kurt shivers at the thought of possibility's. Blaine wouldn't do that. He's your friend.

Kurt pulled out the silver necklace from underneath his clothes. It was from his mother, he only took it off while showering. He didnt want it to be damaged. Its the only thing he had left from his mother. She gave it to him on his sixth birthday, she made him promise to never take it off.  Kurt remembered that day as if it was yesterday. His mother was sad for days, as if she lost someone special, till his 6th birthday. She gave him the necklace and Kurt didnt want to disappoint her so he agreed to never take it off. It wasnt exactly a pretty necklace, it was old but Kurt liked to think it was considered as vintage right now. 

After his mother died the necklace and a few photos were the only thing left from his mother, he didnt want to ruin the necklace and took it off every time he was near water. He didnt want to damage it. A knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.

Kurt? Are you ready?  Blaines voice.

In a minute...  Kurt let the necklace slide under his shirt. Like he said, it was old. He didnt want Blaine to think he was so poor he couldnt effort any other jewels. He gave his look one last glance. He looked good, he was wearing a tight white with blue stripes t-shirt that hugged his muscles perfectly, his black skinny jeans fitted perfectly. He took a deep breath. Why do I still care about what Blaine thinks of me? I need to stop thinking about Blaine in that way. We're just friends.  He walks over to the door and opens. Im ready.

Blaine gave him his golden smile, Kurt could already feel his knees weaken. Damn Blaines perfection. You okay to walk, Kurt? I dont mind to carry you to the car. He eyed Kurts ankle with worried eyes. Maybe we should purpose this date?

Wait date? Was this a date? Kurt froze but Blaine didnt respond, his eyes still eying Kurt with worry. Damn that boy is so clueless. Kurt noticed that Blaine was smaller than him. It is impossible for Blaine to carry me all the way down to his car, with my luck hell break his back. Or we both fall and break our necks. ‘I'm fine, I can walk by myself, Blaine.  Kurt walks past Blaine, trying to avoid any weigh pressure on his ankle as much as possible. So where are we going?

Its a surprise, Kurt, Blaine smiled mysterious.

Blaine..

No, my lips are sealed.

If I need to wear a blindfold Ill slap you, Kurt warns, walking down the stairs.

So aggressive.

Last time I was wearing a blindfold, I was guided into a room and slushied by 12 jocks. Kurt couldnt help the bitter tone.

A silence, than a hand grabs his hand and squeezed. Kurt turns and stared right into Blaines hazel eyes with a tint of gold. I would never do that to you. Im so sorry for what youve been through. If I could change it, I would..

Blaine, I didnt want to make you feel bad about what happens in Ohio. It's not your fault. Im sorry. Kurt felt bad about himself. You cant do anything about it. Nobody cares. I dont want to talk about it, I want to have fun. Its summer. 

Blaine hesitated, but grabs his car keys. Okay, but if you need anyone to talk to, Im here. Ill listen and I do my best to make you smile.

Kurt ducked his head to hide his blush. This guy was going to be the dead of me.

A half hour later they sat in the sun in the middle of the park. It was a hot day but Blaine had found a spot in the shadow against the tree. Hed made a picnic brunch with healthy food and water. Blaine even brought his guitar and played silly love songs which made Kurt smile, blush and shy. Blaine had this look in his eyes sometimes that made Kurt even shyer. He didnt know what it meant and he was confused. But he accepted the fact that it was Blaine. Blaine was nice but a little bit weird.

Youre really talented, Blaine. Kurt said, taking a small bite from his apple. He didnt had a big appetite but he needed to have some food in his stomach or else he would pass out.

Blaine hums, putting his guitar aside, smiling brightly to Kurt. Says the guy who has the voice of a angel. Kurt blushes. You totally should be doing something with that voice of yours.

I.. I dont know...

Come on, what are your dreams?  Blaine asks, reaching for a piece of bread.

I love Broadway. Kurt said softly. He never discussed his dreams with someone, not even Mercedes. He always was one of the background singers of Rachel Berry, and he was fine with it, but his dreams were bigger. He wanted a lead role. But what would his friends say if he would admit that? They would definitely laugh at me.

Same! Blaine squealed and Kurt almost dropped his apple. What was that sound? That was absolutely adorable.

The next half hour they discussed their favorite Broadway musicals, actors, actresses and movies. They had the same taste but Kurt wasnt so surprised, Blaine just had really good taste.  What do you want to do when you're finished school?

Survive.  Blaine jokes.

No I'm serious. Come on, I told you mine. Blaine Anderson, what are your dreams?

I want to marry with the most beautiful man on earth and have lots of babies,  Blaine turns slowly into his goofy self again. His arms wide. I want to be the biggest rock star and take over the world.

So you want to spend months on the road just to return home to your husband and kids?

Yes. Blaine nods.

I like that. I think youll be a great dad one day.

Blaine shrugs. ‘You want kids?'

Kurt bit his bottom lip. ‘I don't know. I just didn't thought of that to be honest. I just want to survive senior year and move to New York.' 

‘Get married?'

‘Eventually.'  If I can find someone who likes me for me and doesn't run away first thing in the morning.

There fell a comfortable silence and Blaine shifted nervously on the blanket, as if he wanted to speak but didn't know what to say. Kurt ate his apple in silence and wondered what was wrong with Blaine. This picnic date and the questions if Kurt didn't know better he would think this was a actually date.

‘Kurt, I want to tell you something important.' Blaine spoke up, Kurt frowns in confusing. ‘I...' His phone buzzed and he quickly pulls it out his pocket. ‘Nick and I are in town. Where are you two hiding, Blaine?' Blaine decided not to answer to Jeff's text.  He knows Jeff and he was running out of time to ask Kurt to be his boyfriend. Jeff could smell him and he would be here in a couple minutes.

‘Who was that?' Kurt asks curious when Blaine didn't answer the text back.

‘Never mind.' Blaine took in a deep breath. It's now or never, Jeff and Nick would love to see me making a fool of myself. ‘Kurt, I really like you. Like, more than friends.' He saw Kurt's jaw drop in surprise. ‘I'm in love with you.'

Kurt didn't say anything, he blinked and stared. How longer the silence, how more nervous Blaine became. ‘Eh…. This is the moment you say something back?'

‘I… I don't really know what to say.' Kurt said softly. ‘Blaine, yesterday you told me that you're… too dangerous. You said I lied, I confessed my feelings and a rejection I can take. But this…' He stands up, tears filling his eyes. ‘I don't want to be played.'

At first Blaine was too shocked to react. Kurt doesn't believe me. Before Kurt could walk away, he quickly got up and grabs his arm. ‘Kurt, no. I'm not playing. I really like you. I know what I said and it was stupid. The fact is that I really like you and I loved you from the moment I first saw you.'

‘You don't have to say it, Blaine. I just don't understand… You rejected me, what changed your mind?'

‘I was a coward,' Blaine admits, sitting down and relieved when Kurt sat down slowly. ‘I'm sorry. I just want you to know that I really like you and I want to be your boyfriend if you want it. I'm not playing, I swear, I'm deadly serious.'

Kurt narrows his eyes but he couldn't found a lie in Blaine's big puppy brown eyes. It still was hard to believe a guy like Blaine would like someone like him.  ‘I… You know I like you. But I don't know if I should believe you. Like I said I've been there.'

‘Will you ever tell me what happened?' Blaine asks. He didn't bother the rejection, Kurt just needed some time and proof that he wouldn't hurt him. That was one promise Blaine could never make, and he knows it.

‘Not today.' Kurt ducked his head, he didn't want Blaine to see the tears when the memory's  slowly filled in his mind. ‘I think we should go home.'

Blaine felt bad about ruining Kurt's mood and bringing up old memory's that hurt him. ‘I've one song for you. After this we can go.' Kurt nods and Blaine picked up his guitar and started playing.

 

Ive been alone
Surrounded by darkness
Ive seen how heartless
The world can be

Ive seen you crying
You felt like its hopeless
Ill always do my best
To make you see

Baby, youre not alone
Cause youre here with me
And nothings ever gonna bring us down
Cause nothing can keep me from lovin you
And you know its true
It dont matter whatll come to be
Our love is all we need to make it through...

Now I know it aint easy
But it aint hard trying
Everytime I see you smiling
And I feel you so close to me...
And you tell me:

Baby, youre not alone
Cause youre here with me
And nothings ever gonna bring us down
Cause nothing can keep me from lovin you
And you know its true
It dont matter whatll come to be
Our love is all we need to make it through...

I still have trouble
I trip and stumble
Trying to make sense of things sometimes...

I look for reasons
But I dont need em
All I need is to look in your eyes
And I realize...

Baby, Im not alone
Cause youre here with me
And nothings ever gonna take us down
Cause nothing can keep me from lovin you
And you know its true
It dont matter whatll come to be
Our love is all we need to make it through...

Oh, cause youre here with me
And nothings ever gonna bring us down
Cause nothing, nothing, nothing
Can keep me from lovin you
And you know its true
It dont matter whatll come to be
You know our love is all we need

Our love is all we need
To make it through...”

Kurt sniffs, he didn't hide his tears anymore. That song was beautiful.  It was like his body acted on his own and before Kurt knew it he was in Blaine's arms and their lips connected. Blaine froze at first but when Kurt pulled him closer he wrapped his arms around his neck and returned the kiss. He could feel something around Kurt's neck, a necklace.

The minute Blaine's skin contacted the necklace, he fell to the ground, screaming when pain shot right through his body. He wrapped his arms around his chest and curled himself up. He could feel his body trying to change into his wolf form.  Blaine knew that he couldn't transform into his wolf form without the full moon but when a wolf was in pain or in danger, they could still use their biggest weapons. Eyes, Ears, Claws, Teeth. 

Blaine stumbled back against the tree, his hand in front of his face, when he could hear Kurt's footsteps walking towards him. ‘N-no, Kurt…'

‘Blaine, what's going on?' Kurt ignored Blaine's protests. ‘Why are you hiding your face? Are you in pain?' Blaine twisted away from him, but Kurt quickly grabs his hands and pulled them apart. He gasps and stared in shock at Blaine's face. ‘You're a… w-werewolf.'
