It was two days after the kitchen incident and Kurt could not get that vision out of his mind. Every time it occurred was a new opportunity to change what happened but when he tried, it just intensified the storm. Kurt began to panic after the vision coursed through his brain and took over his body, he didn't know what to think or do anymore. After each vision passed he felt weaker and weaker but knew he couldn't give up on Blaine. His Blaine, because he was his now.

Late Wednesday night found kurt sat at his desk with a chemistry text book and several papers spread across the surface. His visions started to interfere with his studies as he became more aware of the fact the battle was in around five weeks. The black mark on his thumb had developed a little more revealing a large circle with numbers around the inside. It hadn't finished developing but it was close. He ran a finger over the mark and began to cry.

At that moment, Burt walked into Kurt's room and heard the soft sobs of his son.

"Kurt?"

"Hey dad" Kurt turned around and offered a weak watery smile.

Burt recognised the look of misery in his eyes. He hadn't seen that look in so long, not after Blaine had come into their lives.

"What's happened? Blaine hasn't hurt you right? He seemed like a nice kid, I'd love to have him round more often"

"It's not that Dad, why is everything so complicated? These chemical equations won't balance, French is looking more like Dutch and I can't save Blaine!"

On those last words he finally broke down and his Dad crossed the room in seconds to comfort him. Burt pulled his son off the chair and pulled him into a tight hug which Kurt returned weakly. Kurt buried his face into his father's shoulder and finally allowed his emotions to take over. Sobs intensified and tears fell into Burt's flannel t-shirt. Burt whispered encouragements into Kurt's ear and rubbed his back soothingly.

After a few minutes had passed, Kurt's sobs subsided and fatigue took over. He pulled away from Burt's embrace and smiled a little.

"Thanks Dad"

"You're welcome kiddo, want to talk about it?"

"Maybe later"

"Alright bud, just know I'll be downstairs if you need me"

Kurt didn't answer, just smiled more and returned to his desk.

When he heard his Dad's footsteps retreat further down the hall, he moved to his bed and pulled out his laptop.

Minutes after it had powered up, he opened google and typed 'tips on changing a vision' into the search bar. When the search loaded there was a link titled 'Sixteen Powers Help and Advice' so he clicked on it and it opened up to their home page.

Along the side there were different links but he picked the one most relevant to him. Visions.

He skim read the first few paragraphs and came to a section called 'changing' so he read more carefully.

When aiming to change a vision you must remember that you cannot prevent the event from happening but you can protect someone or alter the event slightly. First, it must be something you're passionate about and if that's the case the vision will occur regularly until you choose to do something about it.

Well it was now a regular occurrence for Kurt.

When changing a vision you must remain calm even if the scene playing out in your mind is shocking. When the thing happens that you want to change, focus all your energy and attention on thinking of something different. This will hopefully change the vision but may not change it to what you want. Sometimes, a person is too weak to carry out this process and can never change what they see. Good Luck.

Well that was reassuring...

Kurt pushed the laptop away from him and sat cross legged on his bed. He tried to relax his muscles as he closed his eyes. The vision fired up again, Blaine let out a whimper as a gust of wind hit him in the rib cage and caused him to fall to the ground. Kurt, although frightened, remained calm and pictured something new. Blaine now stood up and walked deeper into the forest away from harm. He sunk down one of the tree trunks and sat with his legs tucked to his chest. Blaine was safe. The battle still played out on the battlefield but Blaine was okay and that's all that mattered. Blaine was defenceless so it was Kurt's job to make sure everything would be okay.

Kurt returned from his vision with a small smile, he was still worried (what if it never worked?) but also a little bit relieved.

He settled down under the covers and placed his head gently on the pillows. The warmth of his bed was a welcomed comfort as he closed his eyes and fell into a peaceful sleep, with a smile spread across his pale face.

...

The next day kurt woke up to a text from Blaine.

Morning gorgeous ;) Are we still up for "training" today? - Blaine

Kurt looked down at his phone and smiled, no one had ever called him gorgeous before.

Morning :* As far as I know, "training" as you put it, is still on :P - Kurt

He didn't have to wait long until he received a new text.

Good because that ":*" makes me want to kiss you. - Blaine

All in good time my friend - Kurt

You forgot the boy - Blaine

Huh? - Kurt

Boy friend. Boyfriend. - Blaine

Well you haven't asked me yet...friend - Kurt

So will you be my boyfriend? - Blaine

Hmmm, I'll think about it ;) - Kurt

Pfft, you've already made your mind up and you know it's a yes ;) - Blaine

Maybe you're right - Kurt

I'm always right, boyfriend :3 - Blaine

Kurt smiled again, he seemed to do that a lot now Blaine was around, it was a welcomed change. He forced himself out of bed and into an outfit he deemed good enough for school but not too good in case he got slushied.

...

Kurt was at his locker when he felt someone push him roughly against the metal, his lock pressed into his cheek.

"I hear you're dating a Dalton"

"How do you know? Not that it's any of your business Karofsky"

"Might want to tell your loser friends not to discuss private information in the corridors"

'Rachel' kurt thought, she would get an earful later.

"So I thought it was my duty to pay you a little lesson" he turned him round and pushed him harder against the locker so that his pack was hitting the cold metal. Karofsky held him there and brought a knee up into Kurt's stomach. He then used a rough hand to squeeze his cheeks together and brought him close to his face.

"You've got to learn that Mckinley students don't associate with those bastards"

"You don't know him"

"I'm glad I don't"

"Well I'm glad I do"

Karofsky loosened his grip on Kurt and turned to walk through the crowded corridor of McKinley. It's funny how in such a crowded place, people continued to ignore the abusive of a kid because of their sexuality...except it's not funny, not in the slightest.

...

After school, Finn was sat outside Dalton with Kurt, both waiting for Blaine. It was 10 minutes after the agreed time, when Kurt received a message from Blaine.

Sorry, Warbler rehearsal overran and I just need to get changed.

Okay hun, don't be too long I miss you :(

He knew it was cheesy but it was the truth.

Another 5 minutes passed and Blaine finally emerged from the gates. They'd agreed to park a little away from the school so they weren't seen by the other residents that were there.

Blaine opened the back car door and slipped in next to Kurt.

"Sorry guys, Wes was well...Wes"

"It's okay, you're here now"

Kurt smiled and pressed his lips to Blaine's gently.

"GUYS! At least wait until I'm not around, yeah?" Both boys turned a light shade of pink. "Right, well I'll take you to the fighting ground and we can practise stances or whatever. You guys really don't give me much to work with so I guess all I can help you with is defending yourselves"

Finn set the car in motion and drive towards the forest. When they arrived, both boys looked out the window in fright. Trees towered high in a neat circle and beyond the trees was a large circular clearing. At one end the ground was flat and the other end was a steep hill.

"The winners of last year will be placed at the top of that hill, which means Kurt, you're at the bottom. I have to say it's a lot harder being at the bottom as the other team has an advantage of being able to see you clearer but you can still win. I'm living proof of that" Finn smirked triumphantly at the boys in the back; that feeling of pride never faded. "See this?" Finn showed them the faint mark of a glowing sphere at the base of his thumb. "Never goes away" he exited the car before anyone could say anything else.

The two boys joined him and followed him through a small gap in the trees, the field was huge.

Kurt gasped as he took in the view that surrounded him. Trees hugged the sky and enveloped the grown below them, which casted a shadow of the grass. He noticed the hill stretch to the sky like a flower searching for light in a dark closet. The whole atmosphere was gloomy and mystical.

"Right, defence tactics. Anyone, no matter what power they gain, can prevent themselves from an attack. That means that if someone is hurling fire balls towards you, you should be able to stop them in their tracks"

"Should?" Blaine asked wearily.

"Yeah, you should be able to stop them unless you're under a surprise attack so don't worry. Anyway, when under attack it will take focus and energy to eliminate the harm. Every part of you must be focused on that ball of light or whatever it may be. This should stop it in mid-air and allow you to use it against the other team. Wanna try?"

Both boys seemed weary to respond. Kurt looked to Blaine and Blaine looked to Kurt, neither of them wanted to go first.

"Kurt. C'mon I'm not going to let it hit you" Finn turned to his brother with a small smile.

Kurt said nothing but walked away from his brother slightly in order to have enough time to stop the attacker.

"Now, stand with one foot in front of the other and push your weight over the front leg"

Kurt did so and awaited further instructions, Finn rubbed his hands together and took up his position.

"Now, when I send the light towards you, hold your hands out and think about it slowing down. Whatever you do, don't watch me form it. Ready?"

Kurt nodded slowly, still nervous. Finn held his hands inches apart and bright dazzling lights sparkled from his fingertips. Kurt looked away. The ball of light continued to flicker within the confines of Finn's hands, it grew bigger and bigger until it was the size of a standard football. The core of the light was a piercing white colour with a tinged pale blue circumference. The whole thing was transparent and you could see the tiny strands of light bending around the surface area of the sphere.

Finn called out to Kurt one final time to see if her was ready and after Kurt's nod of approval, he let the ball of light free. Kurt then turned to face the light, feet in position and hands spread out in front of him. He focused on the ball of sparks and pictured it slowing down but it wasn't working. Kurt began to panic and lost focus. The ball continued to hurl itself towards Kurt, swerving left and right, no longer on an aimed path. He ducked, just in time and the light energy surged over his head and crashed into the ground.

He stood up on uneasy legs and could hear Finn laughing

"What the hell? I thought you weren't going to come that close?"

"No, I said I wouldn't let it hit you, and it didn't"

In response he sent over his best bitch glare and took position again. "Once more" He heard himself say, although he had no idea why he'd set himself up for another date with possible death.

Finn started the light again and sent it to his brother. He could see the light reach him at a slower rate than before and smiled, he knew his brother has mastered it.

Kurt blocked out the sounds surrounding him, the images and the world itself. He pictured a dark room and the only things that it contained was the light and himself. This way, it was easier for Kurt to concentrate on slowing the ball of light down and to his own surprise it stopped in between his hands and he was able to move it. He smiled to himself and let himself be taken back to reality.

He looked up to his brother in a bro hug with his boyfriend and laughed light-heartedly. "What do I do now?"

"Just throw it back"

Kurt thought that was easy and with as much energy and strength he had, he sent the ball hurling towards his brother and Blaine.

Finn stood next to Blaine chatting animatedly and watching Kurt, when he realised just how much strength Kurt had put into the return of the ball. Within seconds the ball had rapidly reached them again and Finn pushed Blaine to the ground along with himself.

"Fucking hell Kurt, want to kill us?"

Kurt blushed and mumbled his apologies as he ran over to where they now lay on the grass. "You guys okay?"

"Just dandy" Blaine smiled up at Kurt and the gesture was returned.

Kurt held out his hands for Blaine and pulled him to his feet, but even when Blaine was upright he didn't stop pulling. He pulled Blaine further towards him and crashed their mouths together. It was a passionate but sweet kiss that conveyed every emotion felt by the other boy. They parted after several minutes and ignored the remarks from Finn, it was perfect.

"So, Blaine, you wanna try?"

"Nah, I think I've had enough excitement for one day" Off course, Blaine was referring to the fact that he could've been killed but the smirk he saw on Kurt's face suggested that Kurt had thought of something else.

The familiar white light passed Kurt's eyes as another vision took over, it was of Blaine but it was different than the last one he saw. This time, Blaine was hovering over someone and from the way Kurt's heartbeat had sped up he was pretty sure Blaine was hovering over him. There was a pain in his left side and a pounding in his head. Words and sounds were muffled but he could make out Blaine's face and there were many tear tracks upon his cheeks.

The vision shifted and Blaine was outside McKinley dressed in his Dalton uniform. There was a ribbon across the front gates that was cut by Blaine himself. A huge banner hung from the gates that read "McKinley vs. Dalton no more" Blaine had done the impossible. He'd brought the two schools together somehow and even if Kurt was never around to see it in person, he still felt a lot of pride for the young boy that he loved.

The vision cleared and he smiled at Blaine adoringly "I love you Blaine Anderson"

The words were a shock to Blaine, but nevertheless he returned them "I love you too Kurt Hummel"

"Thank you?"

"For what?"

"For what you do in the future" Kurt placed another kiss to Blaine's forehead and smiled down at his boyfriend. Yes boyfriend. Kurt was proud to call Blaine his boyfriend, no matter how much trouble he'd get into at school for it, as long as Blaine was there at the end of it all.
