Blaine yawned as his warm honey eyes fluttered open. The warm sun was already seeping through his open window.
Sunday.
His parents were probably already at church by now. He slowly sat up in bed and groaned. It took a moment before realizing Kurt wasn't beside him like he was when he had fallen asleep.
He slumped back down and rubbed his hands over his stubbly face.

"Boo!" Kurt appeared beside him suddenly.
Blaine let out a hard gasp, "Oh my g-! Kurt!" He placed his hand over his pounding heart and began laughing.
"Scared ya." Kurt grinned, his skin pale and glowing as usual. There always seemed to be a heavenly light shinning down on this boy.
"You did." Blaine chuckled, "How come whenever I wake up, you're gone?" Blaine seriously asked.
"Well..." Kurt hesitated, "It might be...I don't know, weird to wake up to eachother...like that. I don't know." He flushed as he stuttered his words out, looking away.

"Kurt, did I say anything last night about...you? Just wondering."
Kurt's eyes widened a bit, remembering what Blaine had said about wanting to kiss him.
"No...I don't think so." He innocently lied.
Blaine nodded his head 'okay', "So, what were you doing up?"
"Just thinking." Kurt said, "I must confess I listened to your ipod. I was very pleased to find one of my favorites."
"And what would that be?" Blaine asked while slipping out from underneath the bedspread and walking over to his small dresser. He slide open one of the drawers.

"'One Summer's Day'." Kurt said, sadly smiling. He stood up and stood at the foot of Blaine's bed, scratching at the wooden bed frame.
Blaine threw on an oversized band t-shirt and closed his dresser, "That's from that one movie...what's it called?" He said snapping his fingers as if that would bring the answer to him.
"'Sprited Away'. Yeah." Kurt breathed, "That's my favorite movie actually."

Blaine walked towards Kurt, "It's a great one."
Kurt nodded slightly.
"You look sad?" Blaine said, worried, "Why?" He stopped about a foot away from Kurt.
Kurt shook his head, "It's-It's stupid. Nothing really."
"Tell me?" Blaine inched closer.
Kurt hesitated, "Don't think I'm childish? Okay?"
"Never." Inched closer.
"When I was younger, I would always watch it with my mom and dad. Every day for year. Until my mom died."
Inched closer, "Oh..." Blaine didn't take his eyes away from Kurt's.
"Then one day, me and my dad watched it again. Just us. The little girl in the movie...I felt so connected to her. We both felt lost and lonely." Kurt shook his head again and giggled, "Whenever I listen to that song, I feel like my mom's with me again. When everything was simple."

Inched closer, "I don't think that's childish at all." Blaine softly said.
Kurt looked down at his feet, "My mom and I...we're both dead. Yet, I have no idea where she is."
"Kurt I'm so sor-"
"Don't be sorry, Blaine." Kurt took both of Blaine's hands in his, "I'm starting to feel better."
"Why's that?" Blaine shyly smiled.
"Because of you." Kurt said. He blushed and broke the eye contact between them.
Blaine slightly leaned in, hoping Kurt would reciprocate.

"Uh-" Kurt nervously coughed and leaned back. He let go on Blaine's hands quickly and clasped his own behind his back.
Blaine looked away and cleared his throat.

"Sorry." Kurt softly said, sounded completely embarrassed.
Blaine shook his head, "No, don't be. I understand."
Kurt sighed. He felt terrible, "Blaine?"
He looked back at Kurt with those big hazel eyes.

Kurt's heart skipped a few beats, "Last night, you said you wanted to kiss me."
Blaine looked like he had stopped breathing. He mumbled something under his breath but Kurt didn't catch it.
"I- I thought I was dreaming. I swear I didn't mean to tell you that...oh god I've ruined everything!" Blaine frantically said to himself.
"Blaine! Relax!" Kurt placed his hands on Blaine's shoulders. He melted into Kurt's soft touch. "I was so shocked and...I was really happy."
"Happy?"
Kurt slightly cocked his head to the left, "Yeah. I like you Blaine." he shyly laughed.
"You do?" Blaine goofily grinned.
"We barely met, I know, but I feel safe with you. Like I can tell you anything I'm feeling and you won't judge me. I've never felt that for anyone before and I feel silly and stupid because why would you want some creepy ghost thing when there's a bunch of other guys out there who can actually live and grow with you?" Kurt said in one breath.

Blaine's eyes basically turned into hearts.
"Kurt, because everything you just said is exactly what I'm feeling. Yeah, I might be a little scared about this, but who wouldn't be? You're the most beautiful guy I've ever met in my entire life." He placed a trembling hand on Kurt's cheek.
"Really?" Kurt squeaked, doe eyed.
Blaine let out a soft laugh, "Really."
Kurt pulled him into a tight embrace, wrapping his arms around Blaine's neck as Blaine held his small waist.
"Wait-" Blaine pulled away but still held Kurt, "If you like me, why didn't you want to kiss me?"
Kurt thought for a moment, "It wasn't the right moment. I wanted to get everything off of my chest first."
"And now that everything's of your chest?" Blaine wiggled his eyebrows.
Kurt laughed, "Not yet. I want it to be perfect." He locked fingers with Blaine.

Blaine pulled him into another hug and rested his head on Kurt's chest. His stomach sank when he didn't hear a heart beat.

~Later that day~

Kurt sat cross legged on Blaine's neat bed. He watched as he pulled on a nice hoodie.
Blaine looked into the full length mirror in his room and tidied his gelled curls.
"Where are you going?" Kurt asked.
"Some of my school friends invited me to go to this dinner thing." He said, still fixing his hair.
"Oh." Kurt quietly said.
"Yeah it should be pretty fun." He turned towards Kurt, "How do I look? Is it casual enough?"
"Casual and beautiful." Kurt said as a pinkish color took over his cheeks.
Blaine lightly smiled, "Thank you, Kurt."
"Sure." Kurt returned the smile, "When will you be home?"
"Hm, maybe 11ish or so..." Blaine suddenly did a facepalm, "Ugh, I'm so stupid!"

Kurt gave him a confused look, "Blaine?"
He rushed to Kurt's side, "Come with me Kurt? I can't let you sit here all alone tonight."
Kurt let out a soft laugh, "Don't be silly Blaine, go have fun. I'll be fine."
"Please, come with me? It'll be fun. No one will even know you're...you know."

Kurt groaned and turned away from Blaine, facing the wall.
"Kurt, come on?"
"Blaine! No!" Kurt snapped, immediately regretting it.
Blaine stayed silent behind Kurt except for letting out a small sigh.
Kurt quickly turned back around and took both of Blaine's hands in his, "Blaine, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean-"
"Ssh, it's okay." Blaine softly said.
"No, it's not. I shouldn't have." Kurt squeezed Blaine's hands, "It's just...I can't. I can't leave this house. Every time I try I just see this bright light and I'm afraid to get close to it." Kurt's voice began to get shaky and he bit his lower lip, trying to hold every tear in.
"It's okay, Kurt. I promise, it's okay. I understand. It's okay." Blaine nodded and squeezed Kurt's hands back as he hastily tried to calm him.

"This. This is why I'm afraid of having any kind of intimate relationship with you. I'm stuck here in this place forever and I can't hold you back like that." Kurt squeezed harder, not wanting Blaine to go anywhere or leave him.
"Kurt, listen." Blaine removed his right hand from Kurt's tight clasp and gently cupped Kurt's cheeks, "You've become my best friend so quickly it makes my head spin sometimes, and from the very first time I saw you I knew I was going to fall for you hard and fast and that's exactly what happened." He gently wiped away a tear falling down the side of Kurt's upturned nose with the pad of his thumb.

Kurt tried to hide his small smile but Blaine couldn't miss it, "There's no way that I could or would ever leave you alone here. I'm here to stay Kurt."
Kurt shook his head, "No, Blaine. I can't do that to you. I-"
"Sssh." Blaine chuckled, "I'm. Not. Leaving you. Okay?" He sternly yet gently said, still caressing Kurt's soft cheek.
"Alright." Kurt almost mouthed it was so quiet, "Thank you."

Blaine tilted his head and looked into Kurt's deep eyes, "You're alright now?"
Kurt nodded and smiled.
"Kurt-"Blaine blurted out before thinking what else he was going to say. His stomach jolted, "Do you think I could uh-" He hesitated.
Kurt's face lightened up as he sat up a bit, "What is it Blaine?"
"Can I please kiss you now?" He quickly said.

Kurt felt his face heat up. All he could do was nod.
"Is that a yes?"
"Yes."
Both boys grinned wildly at eachother.
They both leaned in to fast and almost bonked noses.
"Sorry!" They both nervously chuckled.
They leaned in closer again, slowly. Their eyes locked just before they felt their lips softly touch for the first time.

Kurt's eyes fluttered shut and he knew Blaine's did the same when he felt the tickle of his eyelashes against his eyelids.

'Gosh his eyelashes are so long and perfect." Kurt thought to himself before breathing in a lone breath from his nose.

Blaine's heart felt like it was exploding when he felt Kurt's tongue enter his mouth with caution. He placed his hand on the back on Kurt's neck and pulled him closer, deepening the kiss.
He tried to stifle his thick, throaty moan but it slipped anyway.

Kurt pulled out of the kiss and giggled as he blushed. He put his hands on his red cheeks, "Why do I always blush, it's so embarrassing." He nervously tried to laugh at himself.
"It's absolutely adorable." Blaine pulled Kurt's hands away from his face and took them in his own.
Kurt looked down slightly, grinning widely, "I've been waiting for that kiss my entire life."
"Me too. And it was perfect." Blaine said.
"Perfect." Kurt nodded in agreement. Suddenly, his smile faded.

"Kurt? Did I do something wrong?" Blaine began.
"No it's not that. I think I'm disappearing." Kurt said, looking at his fading hands that Blaine's were holding onto.
"Wait-what? Don't go?" Blaine frowned as he, too, began to notice Kurt's entire body fading.
"I-I don't understand, I usually can control this...Blaine?!" Kurt frantically said, holding Blaine tighter trying to keep himself from disappearing.

"Wait, will you come back?" Blaine could barely feel Kurt in his arms anymore.
"I'll come back to you, I promise Blaine."
"You promise?"
"I promise." Kurt said right before disappearing completely.

Blaine stumbled forward a bit from the lack of Kurt in his arms.
He felt so alone without him in the room anymore and it scared him.

Kurt watched Blaine curl up into fetal position on his bed. It hurt so much that he couldn't reappear and tell Blaine everything was going to be okay. He felt like he was a fish, stuck behind a thick wall of glass and all he could do was watch. Completely invisible and voiceless.

"Kurt..." Blaine softly cried out.
"Blaine, I'm right here." Kurt sat beside the bed.
"If you can hear me...please come back soon. I need you, okay?" Blaine whispered.

"I promise, Blaine." Kurt nodded to himself. He knew that he would be able to keep this promise.
