"Wha-what do you mean?"
"Please inform Mr. Anderson of his relocation. Mr. and Mrs. Cusack will be there to pick him up tomorrow morning."
"What? No! Nooo-"
"Kurt! Kurt! Wake up!" Kurt woke in Blaine's rattling arms, shrieking and crying and shaking. Blaine looked as though he'd just seen the ghost of his brother: heartbroken and haunted. "Are you okay?"
"B-B-Blaine!" Kurt squeezed Blaine tightly. "I dreamt that- that you were- you were leaving!" Blaine shhhed the crying boy, hoping to let Burt sleep just a bit longer so he could stay with Kurt in his arms.
"I'm still here. I'm still here…" Blaine cooed. "Don't cry."
"I don't- I don't ever want you to leave, Blaine."
"I won't, don't worry. I won't ever leave."
"You promise?" He yawned, cries muffling.
"Promise."
"Blaine?"
"Yah?"
"Will you…" Kurt looked up into his golden eyes. "Will you sing me to sleep?" Blaine nodded.
"Want to hear a song my brother wrote? It was my lullaby. On real bad nights, when Coop and I had to leave the house, we'd sleep under the stars in our field. I'd be real scared- scared that dad would come after us and hurt my brother, scared of what tomorrow would hold… So he would sing me his song."
"Please sing it to me."
"Sure." Blaine said, pressing a kiss to the back of his head.
Deep in the meadow, under the willow
A bed of grass, a soft green pillow
Lay down your head, and close your eyes
And when they open, the sun will rise.
Kurt yawned noiselessly, Blaine smiling at the crinkle in his nose when he did so. He laid his head down on the pillow and watched Blaine with sleepy blue eyes.
Here it's safe, and here it's warm
Here the daisies guard you from every harm
Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true
Here is the place where I love you.
Kurt's eyelids would droop and then suddenly pop open again to make sure Blaine was still there. Blaine settled into the bed with him and hugged him by his side. Kurt's body relaxed and settled into him.
Deep in the meadow, hidden far away
A cloak of leaves, a moonbeam ray
Forget your woes and let your troubles lay
And when again it's morning, they'll wash away.
Kurt sang quietly with him until his voice faded into blissful sleep. Blaine looked at his lovely face, and his lips. He'd wanted to kiss them ever since he was 6.
Here it's safe, and here it's warm
Here the daisies guard you from every harm
Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true
Here is the place where I love you.
Blaine quieted his voice and tucked the sleeping boy under the soft comforter of his bed. He placed a soft kiss to the boy's lips, who giggled lightly in his sleep. The morning sun would rise and he would have no recollection of the boy he kissed back.
Here is the place where I love you.
Dear mom,
Blaine can't stay forever. I keep wishing he would still be in Lima- even just in Ohio! But, he could go anywhere with his new family. I have nightmares of when I must face the music.
"Have you got your things all packed?"
"All the unnoticeables."
"Good." Burt nodded.
"Mr. Hummel, sir?"
"Yes?"
"Is it okay I tell him alone that I leave tonight?"
"Yes, of course."
"Thank you, Mr. Hummel, sir."
"You can call me Burt, you know."
"I know, Mr. Hummel." Blaine replied respectfully. "I'm going to go back to his room before he wakes."
"Thank you, Blaine." Burt replied in more ways then one. Blaine nodded and skipped back up the steps and quietly climbed back into bed with Kurt. He wrapped himself around him. Tomorrow night he'd leave his home with strangers. Burt won't tell him where they were going- but he knew it must be outside Ohio.
Blaine snuggled close to Kurt, breathing in his sweet smell. He would miss how he smelled, how he crinkled his nose when he smiled or laughed, he would miss the way his eyes would light up when Blaine came down the hall. A groan exerted from the sleeping boy and he turned over and buried his head into Blaine's chest. Blaine wrapped his arms around the boy and kissed his head.
Kurt giggled softly in his sleep, "Love… you…" 'Who? Who?' Blaine screamed in his head.
"Love who?" He whispered. Kurt giggled and pushed into his shirt. Kurt hummed softly and sleepily here is the place where I love you.
And that's when Blaine knew.
"You are the only one for me." Blaine felt tears leak from his eyes. Blaine squeezed Kurt close.
Kurt yawned and woke. "Blaine?"
"Morning."
"You… are you okay?" Kurt looked up at him.
"I'm leaving tonight." Blaine told him.
"Wha-what?" Kurt rubbed his eyes that began to water. "I'm- I'm having another nightmare aren't I? Wake up!" He pinched himself and tears spilled from his eyes.
"No, no it's okay, Kurt."
"Wake up!" He continued to pinch himself.
"Stop that, Kurt."
"WAKE UP!" He shrieked and Blaine grabbed his hands. Kurt pulled against him, kicking and screaming, Blaine loosing his battle. He let go of his hands and grabbed his cheeks and pressed his lips against the fighting boy who suddenly relaxed and ended his squirming. "B-B-Blaine…" Kurt gasped with wide-eyed shock.
"I'm leaving tonight and I don't know when ever again I'll see you but I've wanted to do that since I was 6. I know I'm only 11 but I know I love you. I've loved you ever since I saw you. I don't want to leave tonight without you knowing how I feel and..." Blaine was crying and holding Kurt in his arms as tightly as he could. "I don't know what I'm going to do without you!"
"B-Blaine…" Kurt cried into his shoulder. "You can't l-leave me here. I don't want to be alone." He held Blaine as tightly as he could. "I- I love you." Blaine pulled out of the hug to look into his eyes. Before even a blink his lips were pressed against Kurt's once more, who kissed him back and held him in his arms.
"You said you'd never go."
"I did. And I never will." He put his hand to Kurt's heart. With a kiss on his cheek, Blaine disappeared behind a door. A grumble of a car, and headlights fading.
Here it's safe, and here it's warm
Here the daisies guard you from every harm
Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true
Here is the place where I love you.
