Author's Notes: A/N: So I was asked if I was going to kill off Finn in this story so I think I'll write a brief little message here. Originally I had a whole story planned (I'm not about to tell you all that) but I adapted the story to make Finn older than Kurt so he didn't need to participate in the battle. By doing so, A) it gave me a better story line but mainly B) I didn't have to write a death scene for Finn. I couldn't bring myself to write it and I wouldn't want you guys to read it after what happened. Originally, I was a bit worried about writing Finn's character into the story but I adapted it instead. I hope everyone's ok with this? Well, enjoy :)

Kurt woke up to the sound of his alarm clock ringing throughout the silence that had fallen over his room late the night before. He pushed back the covers and switched the alarm off which ended the dreadful chime that pierced his dream filled slumber. Kurt pushed himself up with his elbows and flung his legs over the side of the bed. He ran a hand through his hair and let out a moan of annoyance. He stood up and walked over to his mirror and noticed the horror that was messily placed atop of his head. "I guess my appearance now matches my shitty mood" he said to no-one but his own reflection.

He walked over to his wardrobe and pulled out his carefully arranged outfit and lay it neatly on the bed; then made his way into the shower. The sound of water hitting plastic in the shower drowned out the sound of Kurt's phone ringing. The screen of his iPhone lit up and displayed Blaine's name. After a few rings silenced filled the bedroom once more.

Moments later, Kurt shut off the shower and placed a simple white towel around his hips loosely and walked back into his bedroom. With his phone still untouched, he began his skin care routine because even if he was feeling like crap, his skin didn't need to suffer.

Half an hour later, Kurt was dressed and out of the door. He hated school as school meant pain but what he hated more was the weekend that had just passed. He didn't regret meeting Blaine, helping Blaine, or anything like that but what he hated was his feelings...feelings that wouldn't go away. He wasn't angry with Blaine but because Blaine's power made Kurt love him. Truth is, even without the spell waved upon him, he thought he could love Blaine unconditionally, which is what he hated the most. He wanted to be able to tell Blaine that he loved him more than anything but he wished he could've done it on his own terms. Powers really sucked sometimes. What if he wasn't the only one? What if Blaine could make any man fall in love with him? Where would he be then?

The only way for him to get answers was to meet up with Blaine as they had planned the night before. It may not have been a Thursday, but Finn was going to help Kurt today even if he doesn't know it yet. He pulled out his phone which was in his jeans pocket when he noticed a missed call, voice mail, and three texts. He started by calling his voicemail service and he heard Blaine's voice. "Kurt, I'm sorry if I pushed things too far last night I just felt it was best to be honest. I understand if you don't love me back, well I don't because that's part of my power, but erm maybe Jeff was wrong or something. Well, I guess I'll see you later? I really want to discuss this, I-I love you. Shit, probably too soon, huh? I'll just err yeah I'll go, bye" Kurt then opened the three texts which were all from Blaine, each a different version of an apology.

With a small smile tugging at the corners of his mouth, he called Blaine back. After a couple of rings a desperate sounding voice answered the phone.

"Kurt! It's actually you"

"Yeah, it's me" sure Kurt couldn't be mad with Blaine after that voicemail but he could still pretend.

"You never answered your phone?"

"I was in the shower Blaine, I never heard it. Can I help you?"

"I'm really sorry Kurt, can we forget everything and just be friends?"

"I don't know Blaine, I just don't know how to respond to last night and then your voicemail this morning? What was that about? How did you expect me to act? Did you think I'd run into your arms and love you endlessly because you have this spell over me?" So maybe half of what Kurt said was true, he just needed to voice his feelings that he'd been dwelling over.

"I messed up didn't I? I knew it was too soon I- Kurt why are you laughing?"

"I-I'm sorry, it's just-" Kurt couldn't keep in the fit of laughter that had been at bay whilst he ranted to Blaine.

"It's just what?"

"You're adorable Blaine, sure I have questions that I'd like to be answered but I can't be angry at you. I-I well I just need to talk to you, ok?"

"Ok sure, but don't think you're getting away with playing me"

"I wouldn't want it any other way"

"So...? Later?"

"I'll get Finn to drive up to Dalton and pick you up"

"What about you?"

"I'll be at home waiting"

"Home?"

"Yes...my house, my home same thing. What did you think I meant?"

"N-nothing just...y'know what I'm just being silly. I'll see you later Kurt"

"Sure, I'll be waitingggggg" Kurt's playful tone stunned Blaine into silence so Kurt ended the call and deposited his phone back into his pocket.

School was still going to be crap, but he had Blaine to look forward to and that would pass the time.

...

As Kurt left the library after lunch, he pulled out his phone and sent a quick text to Finn. Finn, if you love me (as a brother) could you pick Blaine up from Dalton later? PLEASE!

Several seconds later he received a reply Really?

PLEASE!

What do I get out of it?

Pancakes, I'll make you pancakes

Tempting...

Every day for a week.

Ok FINE! What time?

Be there for around 3:30?

Kurt walked into period 5 maths and saw Rachel, sat at their usual place, staring at him with smug smirk stuck to her face. He stood in front of their table for a second, glaring down at her before taking the seat next to the teenaged diva.

"Spill"

Kurt turned his head to face Rachel, curiosity now filled her big brown eyes. "Excuse me?" He looked down at his phone one last time and ok from Finn. Kurt smiled which lit up his face and his eyes sparkled.

"Spill. You look happy"

"Is that unusual?"

"Erm no i-I er mean you look happy, happier in fact"

"Oh really? Maybe it's because I've had the pleasure to not see you all day but now I'm here you'll see my mood deteriorate rapidly"

Rachel placed a hand over her heart and gasped, faking a look of shock and horror "Rude!"

"Okay, so maybe Blaine is all kinds of awesome"

Rachel leant her elbows on the desk and cupped her cheeks with her hands "and...?"

"And he's coming round today for us to discuss things"

"Like a relationship?"

"It's not that simple"

"Off course it is! You like him right?"

"Again, it's not that simple"

"So tell meeeeeee you never know, maybe I can help"

...

Blaine and Jeff were sat in his French class when his phone vibrated in his pocket. Sneakily taking it from his pocket he unlocked his phone and read the message from Kurt Finn's agreed to pick you up at 3:30 but we need to make him pancakes.

Sounds great, I'll see you later :)

"Aw he means a lot to you doesn't he"

Blaine looked up from his phone with a pink tint flooding his cheeks "Yeah Jeff, he does"

"It's good to see you happy, Blaine"

"Thank you, y'know for helping me and for being cool about him being a McKinley student"

"It's cool"

"How's it going with Nick?"

Jeff said nothing but just rolled his eyes and glared at Blaine.

"Still not having sex with you?"

"It's gone beyond that now, it's like he doesn't want to be around me and when he does talk to me he shuffles his feet and stares at the ground!"

"What exactly are you two?"

"Friends with benefits I guess"

"What if he wants more?"

"Like?"

"Like to be boyfriends?" Jeff's eyes widened. "Maybe he's falling for you?"

"Wow, this Kurt guy has made you really soft"

"Well..."

"Oh my god, you haven't?"

"Haven't what?"

"YOU KNOW! Oh my god, have you thought about Kurt and got hard?"

"Shh I don't want the whole of French to hear you!"

"But have you?"

"Can I ask you a question?"

...

Kurt had finally left school and was rummaging through his closet to find the perfect outfit for when Blaine arrived. A few minutes and an empty wardrobe later, Kurt found the perfect outfit. He turned around to lay it on his bed when he took into account the room he now stood in. There were shirts and jeans tossed around the room, sprawled out across the floor and scarves intertwined with ties and jackets.

Just as he was about to put the clothes away he heard the sound of the front door opening and two pairs of feet walking over the wooden hall floors. He let out a high pitched squeak and dropped his clothes on the bed to hurry the tidying process along.

"KURT! BLAINE'S HERE" Finn called up from downstairs.

"Er, give me a minute"

Kurt scooped up the clothes and dumped them into the wardrobe, apologizing profusely to the inanimate objects. He then picked the, now creased, outfit of the bed and hurried to change.

He now wore, dark denim skin-tight jeans, a red button down shirt and a light grey cardigan. He hurried down the stairs and saw Blaine on the sofa talking nonchalantly with Finn over some football game. He stood there for a minute and absorbed the picture in front of him, he found himself thinking that he could get used to living with the image he saw.

Blaine turned his head and saw Kurt standing in the doorway "Kurt! How long have you been standing there?"

"Oh, not long" Well that was a lie.

"You want to talk?"

"It can wait for a bit" Kurt smiled and sat next to Blaine on the sofa, a little closer than necessary "What're you guys watching?"

"Just football, you want to do something else?"

"You could make my first batch of pancakes" Finn chirped up smugly.

"Sure" Blaine got up of the sofa and held a hand out to Kurt, which surprisingly he took without question.

Kurt felt a small electric shock pass through him and if the way Blaine tightened his grip slightly was anything to go by, he was sure Blaine felt it too.

...

Half an hour and a batch of pancakes later, Kurt and Blaine were packing away the leftover ingredients. Kurt set down the bag of flour to wash a bowl up when a cloud of flour came out of the bag and covered Kurt's face. Blaine stood a few steps away from Kurt and witnessed what had happened, a small giggle left his lips.

"This isn't funny!"

"Aw, Kurt but it is"

"Have you seen my face?"

"Yes, it's gorgeous and right now you look adorable" Blaine walked a few steps closer to Kurt until he was stood right behind him.

"You think I'm adorable?"

"Yeah" He placed his hands on Kurt's hips lightly so Kurt could pull away if he wanted to but instead Kurt turned to face him, with his own hands behind his back and reached for the flour sneakily.

"You think being covered in flour is adorable?"

"Well, it's more you- OH MY GOD KURT!" Blaine shut his eyes and rubbed the flour away.

"Yeah, flour covered faces to look adorable"

"You're lucky I love you"

"I love you too"

Blaine opened his eyes despite the flour the still surrounded his eyes and saw Kurt looking back at him with only admiration and love in his eyes.

"You do?"

"That's why I wanted to talk to you. I have no idea why I feel the way I do and before you say anything I'd love you despite the fact that you have this power" Kurt wrapped his arms around Blaine's waist and pulled him closer.

"Y'know when Jeff and I were focusing on my power I found out that I could save someone that I loved"

"What's this got to do with anything?"

"Just wait. When I save someone, it will stop me from loving anyone but that person and I-I don't want to love anyone but you so when this battle comes around, if you need me to save you I will. I'll do anything for you Kurt. Anything"

"Even if it means never loving someone again?"

"Especially if it means I'll only be able to love you"

"What if we break up sometime in the future and you want to move on? You won't be able to"

"Kurt, we're not even going out" Kurt blushed and lowered his head but Blaine lifted his chin up to face him "but if we were to start dating, I'd make sure we never break up" A single tear fell from Kurt's eyes but he was smiling, he was happy. "I promise, you're the only one I'd ever want"

Kurt bent down and pressed a gentle kiss to Blaine's lips and his eyes fluttered shut, the moment was perfect until...

Kurt felt a sharp pain at the back of his skull and behind his eyes. He pulled away from Blaine and held his head whilst his vision blurred. He saw that white light again but this time it was brighter than ever. He saw Blaine laying on the ground and Kurt could tell that he was hovering above him looking down at the wounded boy. Then everything reversed and he saw the cause of the event, Sam and his ability to produce a wild storm.

Kurt returned to the real world and could feel Blaine shaking him slightly.

"Oh god, good, you're back. HI"

"Hi"

"You ok? What did you see?"

Kurt could hardly say that he'd seen get taken down by one of his friends...

"I'm going to get a rabbit sometime in the future"

"Really...? All that screaming over a rabbit"

"Yeah, it bit me"

Blaine laughed lightly and returned to washing up the remaining dirty equipment whilst Kurt stood there wondering what to do.

He needed to alter that vision and hope the consequences weren't that bad.
