Blaine had been keeping the distance as Kurt wanted, hoping that Kurt would call him eventually, because he was anxious to see him, it was a week before Mercedes finally came to Dalton to tell him that Kurt wanted to see him, and Blaine wondered if Kurt was still in the hospital because he was sure he'd be out of bed by now.

"Is he alright?" Blaine asked at once.

"He's getting there...Karofsky...went to see him last week,"

Blaine's face turned into a snarl.

"Hey, nothing happened, he was okay, I mean he shook him up a bit, but Kurt said he didn't do anything,"

Blaine nodded knowing his boyfriend better not to immediately call on his peers for help.

"I wish he had called me,"

"He did now,"

"I know, but...I just wanted to be there for him while he was in hospital," Blaine admitted sadly. Mercedes patted his shoulder.

"You where there, we pretty much talked about you everyday, even when he was moved back home he isn't used to the changes, and he told me personally he wished you were there to comfort him, but he needed time, when he wasn't asking to know about certain things, he's still confused, which is why he wants you to meet him at the Lima Bean,"

Blaine took a deep breathe thinking about what could happen, he felt tears well up in his eyes at the thought of Kurt not wanting to have anything to do with him anymore, but this could be his last chance, so he ignored the pain he felt and thanked Mercedes as he left. He then wondered why Mercedes didn't come with him.

He arrived at the Lima bean at 2pm and looked around for Kurt, catching him already staring at him by the window seat.

Blaine flashed him the smile only for Kurt, as he noticed that Kurt didn't have any coffee with him and held up a one minute sign as he went to the counter and got their orders.

He then walked over and handed the cup to Kurt.

"One non fat mocha..."

Kurt blushed as he took a sip to hide it.

"Thank you,"

"You're welcome, how have you been?"

Kurt shrugged.

"Alright...I um...I missed you,"

Kurt stated biting his lip as though waiting for a bad response.

Blaine put his hand over Kurt's.

"You know I'm always here for you, no matter what right?"

Kurt smiled widely then and nodded.

They sat in silence drinking coffee for a minute unsure what to say as they stared at each other when the other wasn't looking.

Blaine giggled thinking how adorable Kurt was and sighed as he remembered the hoodie incident.

"What are you thinking about?"

"You," Blaine answered this time positively.

Kurt's mouth formed an O.

Blaine then reached his hand over to wipe the coffee froth on his mouth...

"You got..."

As he wiped Kurt's lip he could see Kurt's breathing increase slightly.

"Sorry..." Blaine blushed this time, feeling his hand tingle from being on Kurt's mouth which was still soft as the day he first kissed him.

"It's fine," Kurt shivered slight from the touch of Blaine's fingers.

"You cold?"

"A little..." Kurt lied.

Blaine got up and put his Dalton jacket over Kurt as Kurt inhaled the smell of Blaine. It was nice. He admired the red sweater that Blaine was wearing underneath the uniform as it really was cold outside, but Kurt thought Blaine probably didn't realise how many layers he wore.

"Thanks," Kurt laughed and then turned serious after some time.

"Do you know why Mercedes stayed at Dalton?" Blaine asked him suddenly remembering his confusion when she walked up the stairs.

Kurt laughed hysterically earning a few glances from other tables.

"Sorry," He apologized and lowered his head looking back at Blaine.

"She...Mercedes has a crush on David,"

"No way!"

Kurt covered his mouth stopping his laughter as he chuckled.

"Oh my god...you know, they'd make a perfect much..." Blaine mentioned as Kurt agreed and they gossiped a little about it and their friends.

They then sat there in the peaceful quiet just enjoying each other's company and soaking it in while it lasted.

"I...I want to know...this is horrible timing, because you're really amazing, and I don't want you to feel bad,"

Blaine saw the look on his face and feared the worst but embraced it, he needed to know.

"What is it Kurt?"

"I want to know why you didn't stop the bullies..."

His stomach turned, and he felt a wave a nausea as he thought back to the night of the attack.

Blaine's face went dark as he sank back into his chair and looked miserably at Kurt.

Kurt wished he never had asked him, he could see the guilt on Blaine's face.

"I couldn't Kurt, they...they kicked me and held me while they hurt you, they forced me to watch you... I tried, I really tried to get of them, but I'm not as big as they are...and I was scared Kurt, I called for help I tried everything, I wasn't good enough," Blaine's eyes finally let the tears escape as he lowered his face to the ground.

"Hey...I believe you, it's not your fault," Kurt implied stroking Blaine's hand which was still holding his.

"I really hated what they did to you Kurt, I should never have asked you if you wanted me as your date...but I didn't want you to not go to your prom,"

"You could never have expected the bullies to be like that though Blaine, it was on school grounds, the teachers should have been there too..., Mercedes told me Sue was in charge of the prom and all she did was watch her stupid bowl of punch,"

Blaine shrugged still feeling helpless.

Kurt then did something unnatural and brought Blaine's hand to his lips kissing each of his knuckles ignoring anyone that could see them. Blaine was watching him in astonishment. He also found out that Blaine had lied when he said they had been dating a few weeks, when it was only a few days, Kurt knew that Blaine was scared of losing him, and he never had anyone feel that way about him before.

His eyes closed as he did it, feeling the smooth tanned skin and wanting to ease Blaine's pain, by showing he wasn't going no where.

Blaine really was something special for Kurt, he had talked to everyone, and they all said amazing things about him, even his dad told him a few stories and Kurt knew for sure that...he had found his prince, even if he didn't remember.

"I want you to kiss me,"

Blaine's eyes went shock.

"I ...want to feel what it's like, I remembered the Karofsky incident, but I can't remember what it felt like,"

Blaine didn't even reply as he pulled Kurt of his chair gently and holding his hand pulling him outside.

"Are you sure?" Blaine asked knowing Kurt got nervous in crowds as he did with the New Directions watching him the last time.

Kurt nodded.

"Only...if you want to,"

"I really do, but you don't have to Kurt, I told you, I'm happy just being your friend...and waiting for whatever time you need,"

"Oh for the love of..."

Blaine took that as an annoyed yes as he leaned down and pressed his lips against Kurt's feeling that familiar desperation from the first time they kissed.

Kurt moaned as he put his arms around Blaine's waist pulling him closer.

Blaine smiled while they kissed and asked permission to enter Kurt's mouth with his tongue, which he never did last time, Kurt seemed overwhelmed but granted the wish and both were kissing frantically as they noticed snow falling down around them.

Blaine thought it was perfect.

Kurt could barely think.

They let go after a good 5 minutes of just kissing and pecking each other as they walked in the snow giggling when Blaine pulled Kurt down with him to make a snow angel.

Kurt then rolled over on top of Blaine and grinned as he kissed him again after laughing at Blaine for having snow on his nose and his hair all messed up.

"You're so beautiful," Kurt wiped the hair down and rubbed Blaine's cheeks as he stared at Kurt from below.

"Not as beautiful as you,"

Kurt blushed again as he pulled Blaine up finally and they walked hand in hand. Blaine stopped him when they were near Kurt's home.

Blaine looked nervous as he glanced at Kurt and gave him the usual dashing smile he stopped about 10 minutes from the house...he had wanted to walk with Kurt adding extra little memories for Blaine's mind, because who knew when you wouldn't remember them anymore, what if it was all just gone.

"I love you Kurt," He said.

Kurt remembered Blaine saying that when the bullies where attacking him, he had felt safe knowing that Blaine felt that after he told him he loved him back and allowed himself to close his eyes. He remembered being incredibly sick, that he couldn't even go out for coffee, while Blaine told him he was perfect, he remembered the Black out when Blaine had left in the middle of the night to make sure he was okay... He remembered the serenading scheme of the Warblers, he remembered Cooper telling him about Blaine's past, and he remembered the cd he made for Blaine, he remembered the Warblers visiting McKinley, and making cookies for them after Finn's shock and disappointment, he remembered Blaine seeing his scar, and he remembered the first time he felt when he saw Blaine staring at him in wonder at Rachel's party.

He remembered.

"I love you too Blaine...so much,"

Blaine's face was full of surprise as he kissed Kurt again.

"Kurt? You're crying..." Blaine added wiping away his tears.

Kurt shook his head.

"It's happy tears...I remember,"

"You what?" Blaine froze.

"I remember!"

Blaine picked him up and twirled him around in a circle laughing.

"You really remember!?"

Kurt nodded making an adorable ee eee ee sound unable to form words as Blaine kissed him passionately.

"I love you, god I love you," Blaine repeated burying his head in Kurt's neck.

Kurt could just die of happiness.

"Thank you Blaine...for everything...I'm so lucky to have found you..."

"No..I'm pretty sure I'm the one that found you..." Blaine smirked his eyebrow raising as Kurt smacked him on the arm.

"Dork,"

Kurt leaned his head on Blaine's shoulder as they walked their way towards the door of Kurt's house ready to face the family of their news.

"Oh my god...I shouldn't have just picked you up like that, are you alright," Blaine asked examining his face.

Kurt laughed.

"I've never felt more alive Blaine, just shut up and kiss me, before I lose my memory again,"

Blaine looked worriedly at Kurt.

"Oh stop looking at me like that, I'm fine Blaine, really...it's like Dory's short term memory loss..."

Blaine did kiss him before he could control himself around the Hummels...and made Kurt tell him everything that he remembered as they rang the doorbell and was greeted by a birthday surprise for Kurt.

Kurt stared in shock at all the people and looked to Blaine.

"Were you a part of this plan?"

"Well...Mercedes...kind of asked for help on stalling..."

Mercedes then appeared and gathered Kurt up in a huge hug when he told her and everyone else the news.

Best birthday present ever.

Blaine and Kurt snuggled on the couch while they waited for dinner to be called out.

"Happy birthday love," Blaine smiled softly as he looked around for any witnesses and kissed Kurt again. He could never get tired of kissing his boyfriend.

"You make us sound like an old married couple,"

"Who knows..maybe one day..." Blaine said quietly as Kurt demanded what he meant.

"Just open your present Kurt," Blaine said giving him a little christmas box. Kurt's joy was brought to tears as he saw the handmade ring.

"I'll never say goodbye to you," Kurt promised.
