Present Day

“I don't understand, why are you showing me this?” Kurt asked as the living room started to fade. He tried to reach out for his dad but his hand just went right through him.

“I am showing you this because tonight, you were thinking that everyone was better off without you. But you have forgotten all the amazing things you have done in your life. Kurt you have been a very important part of your family and friend's life. You can't give up now.” Blaine barely whispered as New York came back into complete focus around him. Blaine was starting to think he wasn't doing a very good job at this, and he was never going to get his wings.  

Then Kurt was suddenly gone, and Blaine was chasing after him.

“Kurt, Stop!”

“I am dreaming. I must be. There is no way this is happening right now. I must have fell in the river and hit my head. That is the only explanation. You aren't real, that memory wasn't real. I need to go home and get some sleep or something.” Then the memories of Adam and him hit him like a ton of bricks.

That is when Kurt fainted.

Blaine rushed to catch him before the fell on the concrete. Blaine looked into Kurt's porcelain skin and rubbed his check to try to waken him. Then he got an idea.  He was going to show Kurt what life would have been like had he never been born. This would certainly earn him his wings, when Kurt realized how everyone needed him.

Kurt slowly started to come around, blinking his eyes open. He was still confused about where he was, hell he was even confused about who he was. Suddenly he saw Blaine hovering above him, and the last hour came flooding back to him. His head started swimming again, and he felt like he was going to pass out once more.

“No, Kurt. You must wake up. There is something you need to see.”

“I don't understand, how is this happening to me?”

Blaine started to explain how he was an angel and he was going to help Kurt realize how amazing he is and in turn Blaine was going to earn his wings finally. Kurt was staring at him like he had two heads or maybe just staring at him because he was a crazy person talking about being an angel and being sent to help him. While Blaine was talking Kurt realized he was in an apartment he had never seen before. He thought Blaine must have taken him somewhere, maybe Blaine's own apartment.

He noticed that there was a Wicked poster and How to Succeed in Business poster, whoever lived here had good taste in musicals if nothing else. The rest of the apartment was clearly run down. The furniture was old and torn, and the tv was almost old enough to qualify as an antique.

“I've got to go see Finn and Rachel. They will be able to help me.” Kurt said before bolting from the apartment. When he exited he realized he had no idea where he was. He paused right outside the door to look around and saw the number 206 on the door. Kurt pulled his jacket around him tighter and started shaking his head to try to clear the cobwebs.

“Who are you and what are you doing in front of my apartment?” Kurt heard a familiar voice asked.

“Oh thank god, Rachel! How did you know I was here? And wait this isn't your apartment? When did you move? Listen you have to listen to me, something very strange has happened.”

Rachel just stood in the hallway with her grocery bags dangling from her arms. Now Kurt knew what Blaine must have felt when he was staring at him.

“You need to leave, before I call the police. I don't know you and I don't know what you are doing in front of my apartment. But you need to leave.” Rachel finally stuttered out, side stepping Kurt. Leaving him speechless for the second time that night.  Kurt reached out to grab Rachel's arm and that is when she started to scream.

“Leave me alone!”

Before Kurt could react, Rachel had run into her apartment and slammed the door in his face. Blaine was suddenly at Kurt's side.

“Because you were never born, Rachel didn't come back to Glee club, fall in love with Finn, and get on Broadway.”

Kurt just stood there with his mouth open as he started to take in his surroundings. The apartment building was run down, the staircase was dusty, and he noticed the 4 locks on Rachel's door.

“We aren't in New York anymore are we?” He asked quietly. Blaine shook his head.

“No we are still in New York, Rachel moved out here after high school but she never had the courage to truly pursue her dreams because she didn't have her best friend to encourage her and sign her up for the Funny Girl audition.”

Kurt couldn't think to process what was truly happening. There was an angel standing in front of him, and not just a man who looked like an angel. He was an angel. The truth started to settle around Kurt, and he felt his head getting light again.

“Catch me” he whispered as he started to go down, of course Blaine reached out and caught him.

“Wake up my sweet Kurt, wake up” Kurt could hear the whispers but he couldn't quite open his eyes. He felt the soft hand rubbing his check and through his hair.

When he opened his eyes, there was his angel looking down at him with a soft smirk on his face. His hazel eyes caught the light from lamps and his curls fell down into his eyes. Kurt reached up and without thinking began to stroke his check.

“You are beautiful” he whispered. Then went in for the kiss.

Right before their lips connected Kurt came to his senses. What am I doing? He thought to himself. He couldn't kiss an angel, he is engaged. Or was engaged. Or something. He pulled back and opened his eyes. Blaine was still staring at him, his eyes wide with shock.

He was an angel; he was not supposed to want to kiss anybody. But he wanted to kiss Kurt. He wanted to kiss them until they both couldn't breathe, but he couldn't risk messing this up. He needed those wings.  He stood up first then helped Kurt to his feet. Both of them still looking a little dazed.

“So let me try to get this straight, you are an angel. That has been sent here to Earth to help me realize what exactly? That I somehow help change my friends' life for the better?” Kurt finally asked to break the awkward silence.

“Exactly. And in return by helping you, the one Kurt Hummel who is destined for greatness, I will earn my wings finally.”

Kurt still couldn't quite believe his ears, he was trying to understand everything that Blaine was telling him. How could any of this be real? This doesn't happen in real life. Angels don't come to earth to help people, right?

“I need to call Finn.”

“Don't bother, you won't reach him. Without you around to introduce Carole to your Dad, Finn never had a proper father figure. He also never joined glee up so after high school he joined the army. He is now fighting somewhere overseas. He never fully realized his dream of wanting to become a teacher.”

“My dad! What is going on with my dad? Please just tell me.” Kurt practically begged.

“I can show you if you like” Blaine said reaching out his hand.  Kurt took Blaine's hand in his own. And when their fingers wrapped around each other, Kurt had an amazing feeling of being home. The rundown apartment building started fading around him, and the living room Kurt recognized from his child hood started coming into view. Kurt didn't let go of Blaine's hand as he glanced around. He finally spotted his Dad sitting in his favorite recliner. Burt didn't look all that much different, but there was sadness around his eyes. He was watching the Celtics play, he hated the Celtics. Kurt started to speak to him, but Blaine lifted a finger from his free hand to his lips to quiet him.

‘He won't hear you, and he can't see you' Blaine mouthed. Kurt turned back to look at his Dad. The longer he looked the more he started to notice all the lines around his Dad's face that wasn't there before. He looked like a broken man. Kurt started to look around the living room; the only pictures were of his mother. No trace of Kurt, Finn, or Carole anywhere.

Tears immediately started to spring to Kurt's eyes and he started shaking his head. Blaine looked up and saw his struggle and knew he made the right plan. This would get him his wings. Then he really looked at the man in front of him. He took in his eyes that were a perfect mixture of blue and gray, his perfectly set nose, his flawless skin. Something in Blaine that he hadn't felt in a long time started to stir. He suddenly realized he wanted to help Kurt, not just to earn his wings, but to actually help Kurt. Kurt deserved to be love, Kurt deserved to be helped.
