Author's Notes: Hello all! Now we are getting down to the nitty gritty! This chapter is sort of setting up for the end...I know, the end... We have someone from Blaine's past and some other stuff. Yeppers. Anyways read it up and tell me if you are confused about anything. Disclaimer: I don't own Glee or the characters. I don't own the song Brighter Than The Sun by Colbie Caillat.

Cassidy ran up to Blaine and hugged his legs. She had been hanging on to Blaine ever since the accident a few weeks ago. He has told her countless times that they wouldn't dare try it again, after Katherine had called the cops and they talked to the boys and their parents.

Blaine thought it was best if he stay out of it as much as he could consider he was still young and looking after his sister. They had avoided that quickly by Katherine volunteering to contact the police, while saying that Blaine was her nephew. The police ended up not asking many questions.

None the less, Cassidy was having nightmares about it and Blaine didn't know how to fix it. They had Nationals in less then a month and he was exhausted every day from Glee, work, school, and staying up late with Cassidy.

Kurt noticed, he noticed immediately. But Blaine didn't know how to tell him what was going on. It was strange to have someone caring so much for them.

Blaine kneeled down, "Hey baby girl, I have a break in ten minutes, you can stay sitting over there until I finish?"

"Okay," Cassidy said quietly and ran back over to her seat behind the counter. She refused to sit out in the seating area now worried that someone will come crashing in.

Blaine looked up and saw his boyfriend walk through the door, he let out a sigh of relief. "You have no idea how happy I am to see you right now."

Kurt smiled, "One can only imagine. How is she doing?"

Blaine took a glance over his shoulder, "She could be doing better, but you know."

"How much sleep did the both of you get last night?"

Blaine shrugged, "Her about five I guess, me probably less than three."

"That isn't healthy Blaine," Kurt sighed, "You need to get more sleep."

"I know," Blaine reached up and scratched the back of his head, "I suppose it helps working at a coffee shop though."

"Blaine."

"I know. I know."

"Kurtie!" Cassidy said running over to Kurt, "I wondered where you were."

"I'm right here is all," Kurt smiled as he leaned down to tap Cassidy on the nose, "Was there something you needed to tell me?"

"Yes," Cassidy nodded her small head.

"Well then," Kurt sat down in one of the chairs and picked up Cassidy to set her down in his lap, "What is it?"

"Are you keeping your promise?"

"What promise?" Kurt asked interested now.

Cassidy shifted to look over her shoulder at Blaine who was now cleaning the counter, but was listening intently. "You said you would watch over Blaine that night. I wondered something."

"Sure," Kurt said as he wrapped his arms around her a little tighter.

"Will you always watch over him?" Cassidy asked looking up into Kurt's eyes.

Kurt couldn't believe the words coming out of her mouth. She had just turned seven about a month ago and here she was wanted to protect her older brother. "Of course I will," he leaned over and kissed her on the cheek. "Now are you ready to hang with my family tonight?"

Cassidy shook her head, "No, I want Blaine to come."

Kurt sighed, "Sweetie, Blaine needs to work. You will see him in a few hours I promise."

"No," Cassidy whined, "I want to stay with Blaine."

Blaine heard his sister's outburst, he wanted to help Kurt, but knew better and needed her to get used to doing things on her own.

"Please," Cassidy pleaded.

"I will make my homemade macaroni and cheese," Kurt offered.

Cassidy shook her head, "Blaine!" she cried out.

Blaine cringed as he stood in his spot. He and Kurt talked about how hard it was to leave Cassidy lately. Kurt wasn't opposed to it, but Cassidy was giving him a hard time today.

"Blaine!"

Blaine couldn't take it anymore, he turned to Merrill, "I'm going on my break," he slipped into the back.

Kurt grabbed Cassidy's bag, "Come on Cassidy I will make you a hot cocoa when we get home."

But Cassidy didn't want too, she was pulling on Kurt's arm, "Blaine!" she called out.

Kurt finally tugged her out into the parking lot and strapped her down in the car seat that he took out of Blaine's car before he had went into the Lima Bean. Cassidy wasn't fighting but she kept whimpering Blaine's name over and over.

Blaine watched from the window and Kurt drove off. His shoulders slumped as he walked to the counter.

"She still acting like that after the attack?" Merrill asked him.

Blaine nodded as he started to stuff some napkins into the container that was empty, "She does it every time before school and she is apparently having troubles at school, refusing to do assignments."

"I think you need a vacation," Merrill said to him.

Blaine snorted a laugh, "Let me just got on that. I'm saving money to live in a New York and it's just a lot of stress. And the attack, I know they can't hurt me, but it's still hard. And Kurt is amazing and I don't...I can't..." he broke down. He hadn't let anyone seen him break down except Kurt.

Suddenly a pair of strong arms wrapped around him. Blaine knew it wasn't Merrill, so it had to be Ashley. "Shhh," Ashley said soothingly, "It's alright."

It was a few minutes later that Blaine finally opened his eyes and looked around to see they were in the back room. "I'm such an idiot."

"You are not," Ashley said handing him some napkins, "You went through a traumatic experience Blaine. And you have the rest of the night off."

"What?" Blaine said, "I can't. I need the money."

"And I need you healthy," Ashley said handing him his stuff. "I am going to work your shift and give you the money. I don't care what you say. Now go see your little sister and your boyfriend."

Blaine sighed as Ashley pulled his bag over his shoulder. "Fine."

"Wow," Ashley said with wide eyes, "I didn't think you would give up that easy." Blaine glared at her. "Off you go," she pushed him out the door, "And make sure you make out with Kurt extra long tonight."

"Ashley!" Blaine squeaked out.

Ashley pushed him out the front doors, "Bye love monkey!"

Blaine pulled his keys out of his pocket and pushed the button to unlock his doors. He opened the back door to throw his backpack inside the car. Shutting the door he finally looked up and his eyes widened at the sight.

"Hello Blaine."

"How...how did...find us?" Blaine stuttered out.

"I'm not stupid like you," the man grunted, "So this is where you work? Got to say it's a step up from the movie theater."

Blaine snarled, "What do you want Jack?"

"Just Jack now, No Uncle Jack," the man stayed leaning on the car, "You're parents always said you were a bit of a spoiled child."

"I asked what you wanted," Blaine repeated.

"For you and your bratty sister to never come near me again," Jack said to him, "I don't want you two coming and looking for money I don't have."

"We don't want your money," Blaine said, "I can make my own and am."

"Right, from that boyfriend you have," Jack grinned over at Blaine.

Blaine's eyes widened, how did he know about Kurt? "So you came here to tell us to never contact you again. Then deal. I have somewhere I need to be."

"You realize I can charge you with kidnapping," Jack said still staying where he was. "You could go to jail and I get your sister."

Blaine shook his head, "I don't care. Just leave Cassidy and Kurt out of this. Do whatever the hell you want to me, but leave them alone."

"Or how about your friend Ashley in there," Jack pointed to inside the Lima Bean.

"Leave now," Blaine said. He didn't even recognize his own voice.

Jack laughed, "Fine. Just stay out of my life and I won't screw up yours."

"Whatever," Blaine grabbed the door handle and threw open the door climbing inside as fast as he could. He watched his uncle take off and drive off. He finally let it sink in and his hands began to shake uncontrollably. "Kurt," he found himself whimpering.

Blaine shoved his keys into the ignition and found himself driving a bit faster than the speed limit on this way to Kurt's house. As soon as he made it, he threw open his door and slammed it closed behind him. He knocked on the door and tried to wait for someone to open it, but no one was answering.

Blaine knocked harder until he finally heard some shifting behind the door. It opened and Kurt was standing there, "Sorry I was held up...Blaine?"

Blaine threw himself into Kurt's arms, "I just needed to see you," he said quietly.

Kurt pulled his arms around Blaine, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine," Blaine said, "Can we go talk in your room?"

"Sure," Kurt nodded, and he took Blaine's hand. They walked into the house and Cassidy with Finn was watching the TV on the floor with Burt sitting in his chair.

Burt looked at his watch, "Didn't think you would be home already."

Cassidy looked up, "BLAINE!" she cried and ran over to him.

Blaine picked her up and kissed her on the head, "I love you."

"I love you too," Cassidy sighed as she rested her head on Blaine's shoulder.

"Now I have to talk about something to Kurt for a bit," Blaine said setting her down, "We will just be in his room."

"Okay," Cassidy nodded her head as Blaine set her down.

Kurt took Blaine's hand, "Come on," he pulled him quietly down the hall and into his room. He gently closed the door behind him and walked over to his bed pulling Blaine along with him.

Kurt wrapped his arms around Blaine, "May I ask what happened."

"He was there."

"Who was there."

"My uncle."

"Oh, wow."

"Yeah," Blaine sighed as he nuzzled into Kurt's shirt.

"Are you okay?" Kurt asked him.

"I guess," Blaine shrugged, "I mean I think he was just trying to scare me. He told me about he knew about you and Ashley. And he said never to come looking for money from him."

"How did he know about us?"

"I don't know," Blaine said as he wrapped his arms tighter around Kurt, "But he said as long as we don't go near him, he will leave us alone."

Kurt kissed the top of Blaine's head, "You know it's alright to be afraid Blaine."

"I'm not afraid, I'm angry" Blaine lifted his head, "I just wish he would leave us alone. When I saw him standing there everything came back to me. Every look he ever gave. Every word he ever said. And it hurts."

Kurt honestly didn't know what to do right now. He didn't know what to say or how he should feel. So all he did was wrap his own arms around his boyfriend, "I love you. I love you with everything I have to offer and I know it's not much, but I do. And I love your sister. I love how we are going to move to New York together. I love that you are doing things for yourself that you never even imagined. I love you."

Blaine sniffled, "I love you too."

"Good," Kurt laughed, "I hope you would."

"You are too much Kurt Hummel," Blaine sighed.

Kurt knew it didn't fix the problem, but he had to think of something to make Blaine feel better.

There was a small knock on the door. "Come in," Kurt said.

Cassidy's small head poked around the corner, "Can I come and sit with you two?"

Blaine shifted a little on the bed and waved his hand to call his sister over. Cassidy grinned and fit in between the two of them. Blaine kissed the top of her head. Kurt started to rub her back. The three of them soon fell asleep surrounded by one another.

Carole came home, "Hello boys," she smiled seeing Burt in his chair and Finn on the floor playing a video game, "I thought Kurt was bringing Cassidy over tonight. Why is Blaine here?"

"He did and we're not sure," Finn nodded, "Kurt and Blaine went to talk in his room and Cassidy went in after them."

Burt smiled over at her, "I checked on them a few minutes ago, they seem fine to me."

Carole looked at the both of them, "Alright, I'll just see when I walk by to tell them dinner is here." Setting the bags from the Chinese take out on the table in the kitchen, she quickly washed her hands. She walked down the hall and knocked on the door.

There was no answer, so Carole opened the door slowly and found the three of them sleeping. Kurt was slumped near the top of the bed, with Blaine's arms wrapped around him and Cassidy was laying on both of them.

Carole quietly took her phone out of her pocket. She held it up and took a picture of them. The flash didn't wake them up as she took another, and then put it away. She left the trio to nap without anymore interruptions.

Kurt felt someone squirming on top of him, he cracked open an eye and saw Cassidy waking up slowly. He looked over at Blaine who still looked exhausted.

Cassidy looked up at Kurt and she smiled, "Thank you," she whispered tiredly from just waking up.

"For what?" Kurt asked her.

"Keeping my brother safe," Cassidy said as she snuggled closer to them.

Kurt smiled, "It's my honor. How about some dinner?"

Cassidy nodded and then Kurt wondered if Blaine would want him to wake him up. Cassidy started to simply touch Blaine's face, tracing the lines on his face with her fingers. Blaine let out a small sigh and opened his eyes slowly and smiled.

"Hi you," Blaine said and looked up at Kurt, "Sorry I fell asleep on you."

"I don't mind," Kurt kissed Blaine's forehead, "But I am hungry now."

"Sure," Blaine nodded, "Me too," he sighed and went back to snuggling into Kurt's side still holding on tight to his sister and boyfriend.

Cassidy giggled, "Blainey, I want to eat."

"No you don't," Blaine laughed, "You want to stay here."

"Nope," Kurt said as he started tickling Blaine's side.

"Stop," Blaine laughed.

Cassidy soon joined in and then Kurt and Cassidy were on top of Blaine tickling him. Blaine finally got the advantage and started to tickle Cassidy, "No Blainey," she whined and laughed.

"Alright Andersons," Kurt stood up, "I think it's time to find some grub."

"Like bugs?" Cassidy asked scrunching her face.

"They are slimy, yet satisfying," Blaine smiled at his sister.

Cassidy looked at them, "Are you going to start singing Hakuna Matata now?"

Kurt and Blaine both looked at one another, "It's our problem free, philosophy! Hakuna matata!" they sang in unison.

Cassidy laughed, "I want to keep the both of you."

"Good," Kurt smiled as he picked her up, "Although I don't know how much longer I can pick you up for. Come on you," he said reaching for Blaine's hand.

They walked out into the living room and the rest of the family was sitting in the living room. "Ready for dinner?" Carole asked them.

Cassidy nodded her head, "Yes please."

"There are leftovers in the fridge," Carole said starting to stand up.

"We got it," Kurt said, "No need to get up."

They walked into the kitchen and Kurt set Cassidy down, while Blaine took the containers out of the fridge, "What do you want to eat there Sissy?"
"Lots of rice," Cassidy smiled.

"Well you got it," Blaine said as he started piling some rice on a plate that Kurt had gotten down for them to use.

Once all of them had warmed up their leftovers, they went and sat on the living room floor eating their dinner. Cassidy giggled as they watched America's Funniest Home Videos on the television.

"How about you and Cassidy spend the night here tonight," Carole offered.

Blaine looked over at her, "No I can't do that."

"I should insist," Burt said, "You look dog tired and I know something happened today."

Kurt stayed silent because he knew his dad. And of course his dad knew something happened to today.

Blaine looked down and then felt Kurt's hand in his, "Yeah," he nodded slowly and then looked over at Cassidy, "But can it wait."

"Course," Burt nodded, "Finn how about you get the guest room ready for Cassidy and Blaine."

"Sure," Finn stood up and walked down the hallway.

Cassidy eventually laid her head in Blaine's lap and he started stroking her hair as she watched the show on TV. Blaine figured she must have fallen asleep because her breaths evened out and she wasn't giggling anymore.

Carole and Burt didn't pressure him for answers. They let him say what he needed on his own terms. Kurt stood up and kissed Blaine on the cheek. He picked up their now empty plates and walked into the kitchen.

"I know you want to know what happened today," Blaine said quietly, "But I think for once I accepted what happened and handled it on my own."

"Why do you say that?" Carole asked him.

"Because I have Kurt," Blaine said simply still staring down at his sister, "I know it sounds weird since we are young, but I love Kurt with everything I have and I doubt I could have gotten through anything without him this year. He's everything I could have wanted."

Burt smiled, "You know you are welcome here anytime Blaine."

"Thank you," Blaine looked up and smiled at him.

"Let's head to bed," Carole said, as they both walked down the hallway.

Kurt walked back into the living room, "How about we get you two to bed too."

"Alright," Blaine said, "Can you help me with her?"
"Course," Kurt said as he picked up the small girl and laid her carefully in his arms.

They walked into the guest room and Blaine unmade the bed to lay her down in. It was odd for her to fall asleep so easily, so he hoped she stayed asleep.

"Come with me," Kurt whispered as quietly as he could grabbing Blaine's hand and pulling him across the hall to his room. "I can lend you some pajamas to wear."

"Thank you," Blaine said quietly, "Um, did you hear what I said earlier."

"About what?" Kurt asked as he shuffled through his drawers.

Blaine blushed, "Never mind."

"Well if it was important," Kurt turned around, "Here you go. Was it something important?"

"No," Blaine shook his head.

Kurt smiled, "Alright," he started unbuttoning his pants and slipped them off, "Sorry I really had to get them off," he grabbed another pair of pajama pants and slid them on. "More comfy."

Blaine just stood there in shock over what he just saw.

"Are you sure you're alright."

"You just...changed your pants."

"Okay," Kurt laughed, "How about you do the same," he sat on the edge of the bed, "We are going to live together in a few months and I don't doubt we won't be seeing each other naked at one point."

Blaine stared at him, "You're right." He started to unbutton his pants and pulled them off to step out of them. He glanced over at Kurt who was watching him, "Well now I feel like I'm putting a show."

Kurt smiled, "Maybe you are," he stood up and quickly changed out of his shirt. He turned around to see Blaine had finished getting his own pajamas on. "I know you're supposed to sleep in the guest room, but I don't think my dad would kill you if we were to accidently fell asleep in the same bed."

Blaine gave Kurt a glance, "Kurt."

"I mean it's not like we haven't slept in the same bed before," Kurt pointed out, "And my dad didn't seem to care then."

"You refused to let me sleep on the floor," Blaine said crossing his arms over his chest.

"Yep," Kurt nodded as he crawled under his sheets, "Come on," he patted the bed next to him, "It's not like we are going to do anything."

Blaine sighed, "Fine, but you are going down with me if all of this sinks in the morning."

Kurt giggled, "Oh just come here my little space heater."

Blaine slipped under the covers and Kurt pulled him so Blaine's back was against his chest, "I'm not a teddy bear."

"Yes you are," Kurt sighed, "I love you and you are my everything."

Blaine felt Kurt's grip around his waist tightened and he felt his insides squirm as he realized Kurt had heard what he said to his parents. But something felt right inside. He was glad Kurt knew and happy Kurt felt the same way.


"Mr. Schuester," Kurt said raising his hand as soon as their teacher walked into the room.

"What's up Kurt?" Mr. Schuester asked as he grabbed a stool to sit on.

Kurt smiled, "While I know we are hard at work on our Nationals songs, I wondered if it would be alright if I sang a song to someone right now."

Blaine was sitting next to Kurt and stared at him.

Mr. Schuester nodded his head, "Sure, come on up."

"Thanks," Kurt stood up quickly and made his way over to the front of the room. "I wanted to sing this song for awhile now and felt like this would be the perfect time." He pulled the stool that Mr. Schuester was just sitting in and walked over to grab Blaine's hand, "Come on," he pulled him up from his seat.

"What are you doing?" Blaine whispered at him. Blaine already wondered where Kurt was off to on some lunch times, he disappeared today again.

Kurt just smiled as he sat Blaine down, "I know many of you know that this guy here hasn't had the best weeks so far, and I just wanted to let him know that he is amazing."

Blaine shook his head and couldn't believe Kurt was doing this now.

Kurt looked over at the band and gave them a nod. He looked over at Blaine given him a wink.

Stop me on the corner

I swear you hit me like a vision

I, I, I wasn't expecting

But who am I to tell fate where it's supposed to go with it

Don't you blink you might miss it

See we got a right to just love it or leave it

You find it and keep it

Cause it ain't every day you get the chance to say

Blaine blushed as Kurt danced around him. He gave a shy smile as some of the girls began singing back up for Kurt.

Oh, this is how it starts, lightning strikes the heart

It goes off like a gun, brighter than the sun

Oh, we could be the stars, falling from the sky

Shining how we want, brighter than the sun

Kurt pulled on Blaine's arm to make him stand up and twirled him.

I've never seen it, I found this love, I'm gonna feed it

You better believe, I'm gonna treat it better than anything I've ever had

Cause you're so damn beautiful

Read it, it's signed and delivered let's seal it

Boy we go together like peanuts and paydays and Marley and reggae

And everybody needs to get a chance to say

Blaine laughed as they danced together, Kurt smiled at him.

Oh, this is how it starts, lightning strikes the heart

It goes off like a gun, brighter than the sun

Oh, we could be the stars, falling from the sky

Shining how we want, brighter than the sun

Kurt placed Blaine back on his seat, and started to dance around him again.

Everything is like a white out, cause we shika-shika a shine down

Even when the, when the light's out but I can see you glow

Got my head up in the rafters, got me happy ever after

Never felt this way before, ain't felt this way before

Soon everyone in the Glee club stood up and started to dance around Blaine.

I swear you hit me like a vision

I, I, I wasn't expecting

But who am I to tell fate where it's supposed to go?

Puck pulled the chair out from under Blaine to make him stand as everyone started to dance in circles in around Blaine.

Oh, this is how it starts, lightning strikes the heart

It goes off like a gun, brighter than the sun

Oh, we could be the stars, falling from the sky

Shining how we want, brighter than the sun, yeah

Oho, yeah, oho

Oh, this is how it starts, lightning strikes the heart

It goes off like a gun, brighter than the sun

Oh, we could be the stars, falling from the sky

Shining how we want, brighter than the sun, yeah

Brighter than the sun.

Brighter than the sun.

Brighter than the sun.

Oho, yeah, oho

Kurt took Blaine into his arms as they began dancing around the room. The rest of the Glee club took over for the next verse.

Oh, this is how it starts, lightning strikes the heart

It goes off like a gun, brighter than the sun

Oh, this is how it starts, lightning strikes the heart

It goes off like a gun, brighter than the sun

Oh, this is how it starts, lightning strikes the heart

It goes off like a gun, brighter than the sun

Oh, this is how it starts, lightning strikes the heart

It goes off like a gun, brighter than the sun

Kurt finished off the last line and giggled.

Blaine stared at him, "I can't believe you."

"Only returning the favor," Kurt said to him as he gave him a small kiss.
