While Kurt was reliving his story, he hadn't realized that Blaine had reached across the table to hold his hand or that Adam had come looking for him and was now sitting at the bar watching him. He was lost in his own words. When he looked up with tears on the verge of spilling over, Blaine had the softest look on his face. His hand was warm over Kurt's, and again his thumb was rubbing across Kurt's knuckles almost as if it had a mind of its own.

While Kurt was talking all Blaine could think about was how much trouble he was in. His assignment was to help Kurt, and he did. He should be getting back home and getting his wings finally. But he couldn't bring himself to leave Kurt here alone. He knew Kurt couldn't go back home tonight, so he just wanted to be here for him. He couldn't put a finger on exactly why Kurt was becoming so important to him. He had been in his presence for about 3 hours now, and he couldn't imagine not able to protect him. He made a promise to himself right then and there that no matter what, wings or not, he was going to be here to protect Kurt. He was looking into Kurt's eyes, enjoying watching them shift color from a deep blue to a bluish gray depending on where he was in the story. When Kurt looked up into Blaine's eyes they shift from the bluish gray to a beautiful bright blue. What Blaine didn't know, is his own eyes shone with a brilliant honey gold when Kurt was looking at him.

When Kurt finished his 3rd drink, Jeff and Nick walked over quietly and slid into the booth. Sensing Kurt's discomfort again, Blaine removed his hand from his and laid his hands in his lap looking at the table in front of him. Not wanting to look at Jeff, Nick or Kurt.

“So Adam is here, he said you left in a hurry tonight and now here you are with this guy. Is there something we should know?” Nick asked.  Nick knew Kurt would have a perfectly reasonable explanation, and hell even if he didn't Nick would stand by him. He had known Kurt for years before meeting Adam, and his alliance would always be to Kurt.

Kurt's head shot up and he looked around the bar before his eyes settled on Adam sitting at the bar. He cursed under his breathe and looked at Blaine, his eyes begging for advice. Blaine took that as a cue and reached for Kurt's hand once again.  Nick and Jeff looked from Kurt to Blaine and then back to Adam.

Kurt took a deep breath and braced himself for what he was about to say. “I walked in on Adam cheating on me with Chandler tonight.”

Jeff, always the oblivious but protective one, shot up out of the booth. “Say no more Kurt, I'll kick him out.”

Jeff stalked off towards the bar. Nick stayed where he was, giving Kurt a look that said ‘do you want me to kick his ass? I can if you want' Kurt shook his head with a small smile. Nick knew Kurt wasn't a big fan of affection but he reached out to side hug Kurt anyway. Kurt leaned into the touch and laid his head on Nick's shoulder. “I'm so lost.” Kurt whispered.

“Do you want to stay here tonight?” Nick asked. Kurt just nodded his head. He was lucky that Nick and Jeff lived in the apartment above the bar, and they always had an extra room if they had a friend that got too drunk to drive or if they had a friend who needed a place to crash for a couple of days.

Blaine took that as his sign to leave, he made eye contact with Kurt and nodded his head toward the door. Kurt removed himself from Nick's shoulder and wordlessly let him know he was going to walk Blaine out. Nick stood up and allowed them both to exit the bar. Jeff had already escorted Adam out and politely told him to never enter their establishment again. He may or may not have threatened to have Nick kick his ass if he did. Nick watched Kurt and Blaine exit and he had a feeling there was a story to this Blaine guy and he planned on asking Kurt about it as soon as he was back. Jeff was starting the process of shutting down the bar for the night, and Nick looked on at his handsome man. He smiled knowing he made the right decision in picking him as his partner not only in life but in business, then his heart broke all over again as he remember the situation Kurt was in.

When Kurt walked out the door, the weather was colder then he remembered and he wanted his jacket. Then there was Blaine standing too close to him, and Kurt no longer felt the cold. Blaine's face was so close to his and for a second he had the crazy urge to kiss him. Blaine licked his lips looking at Kurt's face, and Kurt's resolve crumpled in that moment. He pressed his lips up against Blaine's and his whole body was lit on fire. Blaine deepened the kiss and pulled Kurt up against him. Blaine's whole body tingled in a way he hasn't felt in such a long time. He knew he was asking for trouble. He had heard of angels kissing humans, and it almost never ended well. But Kurt was so beautiful and lonely, and he couldn't help himself. His tongue explored Kurt's mouth as Kurt went slack against him and let Blaine control the kiss. Kurt's thoughts were swirling as he questioned what he was doing, but as Blaine pulled him closer his mind quieted. He gave himself over completely to Blaine. They got lost in the moment, and then Jeff was there clearing his throat.

“I am so sorry guys, but um Kurt I need to lock the door.”

“Just a minute Jeff, I can lock the door when I come in if you need to go do something else” Kurt answered, but he left his forehead up against Blaine's.

Jeff nodded in response and went back inside.

“Will I see you again?” Kurt asked breathlessly.

“No Kurt, I am sorry but I don't think so. I need to get back. You have a guardian angel, Kurt. I am always with you.” Blaine said with a sad smile on his face.

With no other warning, Blaine faded from sight.  The chill suddenly hit Kurt once more and he let the tears flow freely. He didn't want to go inside, but he knew if he stayed out here much longer then he would freeze. He reluctantly went back inside and locked the door. Nick and Jeff were waiting for him at the bar with Kurt's favorite ice cream, cookies and cream and smiles on their faces.

“Guys, thank you. “ He got choked up, and could barely get the words out. He was so thankful to have people in his life like Rachel, Finn, Nick and Jeff. He didn't know what he would do without his friends.

“Do you want to talk about it?” Jeff asked.

Kurt shook his head no. “To be honest, I am just exhausted. It had been a very strange and long day. I just want to get some sleep, but I promise I will tell you the story tomorrow.”  He knew he couldn't tell them the truth about Blaine without sounding crazy. So by tomorrow he would have to have a story ready to tell them. But tonight he wanted to get some sleep.

“Then fine” Jeff replied “We'll just sit here and eat our ice cream and talk about cute boys. Tom Hardy anyone?” Kurt couldn't help but laugh.

“Nah, Adam Levine.” He replied with a genuine smile on his face.

After a couple of hours goofing off and making Kurt forget about his current situation, Nick and Jeff let Kurt lead the way to the back of the bar to the stairwell that would lead to their apartment.  The guest bedroom was already made up and ready to go, so all Kurt had to do was strip down and fall into bed. This is the first time he has ever gone to sleep without his extensive moisturizer routine, but it's not like he had anyone to impress anymore. He thought he would fall asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow, but he was wrong. When he laid down his thoughts swam with images of him and Adam in happier times, the look on Adam's face when he walked in, and then Blaine. Sweet angel Blaine. Kurt rolled over on his side, and pulled the extra pillow close trying to recreate the body warmth he had felt being close to Blaine.  Unfortunately, it didn't work.  Kurt eventually drifted to sleep with Blaine on his mind, and a soft smile on his lips.

Meanwhile

“I'm back”

“Thank you Blaine, while you did a great job with Kurt Hummel, you know that it never ends well when an angel kisses a human. What were you thinking?”

“I am sorry, sir. There is something about that human. I feel like we share a profound bond. Have I ruined my chance of getting my wings?”

“No, but you have a decision to make.”

“What do you mean, make a decision?”

“Blaine, if you choose your wings you can never go back. However, if you choose your human you can never come back.”

“I thought it never worked out when an angel kisses a human.”

“It doesn't, because that angel must make the decision. If they choose the human, they gain their humanity. There is just one small catch; your human has to ask you to stay. You cannot do it alone. ”

“Oh”

“So make your decision. And choose wisely Blaine, your human may not feel the same.”

Blaine then looked down through the clouds and searched for Kurt. He found him lying in bed, but Kurt seemed restless. Blaine reached for him to give him some comfort; it took Kurt only a second to fall asleep.
