As Finn pulled up to the tall, brown building they noticed a group of uniformed teens hovering about the front door. He cut the engine silent and turned to Kurt "You sure you want to go in there?"

"I have to, for Blaine's sake. He's spent the night with a McKinley guy" Kurt turned to look out of the window nonchalantly but felt his heartbeat speed up as the boys outside started to approach the car.

"You don't have to Kurt, I can go back by myself and try and find my power" Blaine placed a hand on Kurt's shoulder from where he sat in the back seat; Kurt turned to look at him. "I'll text you?"

"You don't have my number Blaine" Kurt let out a light-hearted giggle and opened the car door. "I'm coming with you"

"Oh no you're not!" Kurt turned to face into the darkness as three boys made their way closer to him. "Hand the boy back over, turn around and leave, then nothing else will be said about it"

"You mean Blaine?" Kurt stood with one hand on his hip which was cocked to the side slightly.

"Yes we mean Blaine, do they teach you anything down in that retarded school of yours?"

"Yeah they do, they teach us that humans aren't people's properties and that they have these things called human rights, ever heard about them? It basically means that Blaine can do whatever the fuck he wants"

"Leave it, Kurt" Blaine stepped out of the car and walked past Kurt to where the three boys stood. "They're not worth it" He turned around and walked into the main building but the three other guys still stood there.

"What?" Kurt turned his head to the side so that they couldn't see the single tear that fell down Kurt's face.

"Nothing, just think you should get of this property or we'll have you for trespassing. Goodbye Kurt"

The three boys turned and walked back towards the rest of the group that still lurked outside the entrance to the academy. Kurt slumped back into his seat and shut the door. "Just drive, Finn"

"You okay?"

"Does it look like I'm okay? I'll probably never hear from him again"

"I wouldn't be so sure" Finn smirked towards his younger brother and put the car into accelerate.

"Wha-" Before Kurt could finish his sentence, his phone vibrated in his pocket. When he took it out, he hit the home button and the screen lit up to reveal 1 new message. There was no name, just an unknown number as the sender. He slid the icon to reveal his new text.

I'm sorry Kurt, I really am. I wanted to invite you back up but it's best if you stay away from Dalton. I'll still meet you and Finn as promised :) – Blaine

Kurt thumbed out a quick reply and turned to beam at his brother "Thank you"

"You're welcome, someone had to give that boy your number, I have a feeling you'll be introducing him to Dad anytime soon"

A comfortable silence fell over the car as they made the drove back to Lima. Even though there wasn't much distance between the two places, there was a lot of difference. The scenery went from pinks and blues of flowers to browns and greens of mud and fields. One thing that never seemed to change wherever you went, was the small minded people. They, were everywhere.

...

Blaine smiled when he received a text from Kurt. It's fine don't worry, just stay safe for me? He texted back a quick 'I will' as his dorm door flew open to reveal Wes standing there with a stare pointing in his direction.

"Hi?"

"Care to explain what the fuck that was outside?" Wes stepped further into the room with his gavel in his left hand.

"That was me getting a lift back to school from a friend?"

"You left the premises and weren't back in time for curfew to stay with that McKinley freak?"

"His name's Kurt"

"I don't' give a fuck if he's the next person in line for the English throne, he goes to McKinley! You can't associate with him."

"Why not?"

"Because the rules say so"

"Rules were made to be broken. Kurt and I will show up to this battle, together, and cross bridges when we come to them"

"So you're both in battle? Oh thank god, he won't be around forever then"

"He will be"

"It's impossible"

"No it's not, Finn said so"

"Finn?"

"Yeah, Kurt's brother"

"Finn Hudson?"

"Yes..."

"Oh my god, the perfect revenge. I'm sorry Blaine, but I have to kill Kurt in that battle"

Blaine just stared at Wes with a look of fright and anger.

"He's Finn's brother. Finn killed my brother, so I will kill his. I'm sorry it has to be this way Blaine I really am" Sarcasm dripped from Wes' mouth and he turned to leave the room with a smirk on his face.

Blaine lay on his bed, staring up at the ceiling, and let thoughts of him and Kurt fill his mind. The questions were never ending. Will we be ok? Can one of us save the other? Am I falling in love? That last question shocked him the most. Was it possible to fall in love with someone you don't even know that well? All Blaine knew was that he felt safe in Kurt's presence and felt as if he could just be himself. Blaine had never been in love before and now all these emotions were flooding his brain. Love, Kurt was a loveable guy. Lust, hell Kurt was gorgeous. Protective, he wanted to make sure Kurt would be ok, who knows, maybe Blaine could keep him safe after all?

With that thought in mind he turned to draw beside his bed and pulled out the book that he'd borrowed from the library, then sent a quick text to Jeff, asking him if he could come over.

He opened the page to the one he'd read previously in the library and found what he was looking for. Although many people only obtain one power, some people in the past have been known to gain more than one and even fewer people gained the rarest power of all, the power to love and be loved in return. This is the strongest power that anyone can get as it means you have the ability to protect one person at some time. (Turn to page 36 for further information on love)

Just as Blaine was about to continue reading, Jeff came through the door with a book of his own.

"Hey dude, I picked this up for you yesterday, it's like a diagnosis book that helps you to determine what power you have"

"Thanks"

"You okay?" Jeff sat next to Blaine on the bed and placed an arm on his shoulder.

"Yeah I guess so, it's just boy troubles"

"Ah, I know how you feel, Nick hasn't had sex with me in weeks"

"It's a little different to that"

"Oh right, serious time. What's going on?"

"This Kurt guy, he's a McKinley student and we have to fight against each other and it's just so frustrating and please don't go and tell everyone this but...I'm already falling for him" It felt good to get everything of his chest and talk about it with someone.

"Deadly serious time"

"Yeah"

"Look Blaine, I know I'm no good at being romantic or anything but A) I'm pretty sure you have to tell Kurt and B) why don't we look into your power and see if we can sort things out one step at a time, yeah?"

"Yeah, you're right, thanks Jeff"

...

So, I just got home and I already kind of miss you – Kurt

Welcome home Kurtie, and that's sweet, really it is but I can't talk right now. Jeff is here and we have stuff to sort out :/ - Blaine

Stuff? What stuff? – Kurt

Just stuff Kurt, he's helping me with things – Blaine

And I can't help? – Kurt

Not really, you're not here – Blaine

Ok – Kurt

I'm sorry that was harsh – Blaine

Ok – Kurt

Shit. – Blaine

Night. – Kurt

Good night – Blaine

"Why do I have to screw everything up?"

"It's not your fault, we just haven't found the right power yet"

"I didn't mean the stupid power, right now I don't even care"

"Wow okay..." Jeff went to sit down on the bed opposite Blaine from where he was sat at his desk. "You okay?"

Blaine glared at him and replied with "Do I look okay?"

"Is this about Kurt?"

"Yes"

"You have to tell him"

"I know"

"But for now, we have work to do! Up you get, let's try this last one. So explain how you achieved your power again?"

"I was in bed and this warm sensation passed through me, it was like sunbathing and the sun warmed your skin through. It was like melted chocolate dripping of the end of the spoon or like honey!"

"Wow... that must've been real nice. I hope mine's like that"

"You'll find out very soon"

"I know, one more week! Anyway, let's think" Jeff continued to look through the book and came across something very appealing "I found it..."

"What?"

"Blaine!!!! I FOUND IT! OMG YOU OWE ME BIG TIME!"

"So...what is it?"

"It's love"

...

I'm sorry – Blaine

What is it? – Kurt

I'm sorry about earlier, I was in a mood and well Jeff was helping me with power stuff. On the plus side I know what it is – Blaine

So what is it? – Kurt

Love. – Blaine

Huh? – Kurt

When I'm around the one person I love, I feel warm and safe and yeah... well that's my power and Kurt? – Blaine

Yeah? – Kurt

You're the person that makes me warm and safe – Blaine

What...does that mean? – Kurt

I'm pretty sure that means I'm in love with you but yeah...that's kinda awkward since we don't even know each but it's my power. I know love, and I love you – Blaine

We really need to talk – Kurt

Tomorrow? – Blaine

Tomorrow – Kurt
