So, no reviews yet guys! Pllleeeaasseee tell me all your wonderful thoughts and opininons!

"Honey come on. Wake up Kurt."

Kurt lifted his head slowly, his eyes adjusting to the weak light spilling in from outside. He could hear a voice calling him softly from the darkness but it took him a few minutes to fall back into reality after the stressful night he just had.

It had only been a short sleep, constantly interrupted with images of Blaine, covered with blood, blades in hand. He'd wake in a cold sweat, silently screaming for his husband, only to find Blaine next to him, shushing him and reminding him everything is OK. Each time he woke up, he fell back asleep to the rhythmic pattern of Blaine stroking lightly up and down his arms.

"Blaine? What's the matter? It's 4am!" Kurt replied, noticing the time glaring up at him from his alarm clock, attacking his sore eyes. He groaned and swung his legs over clumsily to the side of his bed, fumbling to turn on the bedside lamp.

Gesturing over to the suitcases and Jasper on his lead at the end of the bed, Blaine gave a worried smile, "We need to go, remember? I have all your best clothes packed. The flight leaves in a few hours. We're headed to Tamworth, Australia."

Running his hand carelessly through his hair, Kurt took Blaine's hand and lifted himself to stand in front of his husband, "Oh right, OK. Can we - wait… AUSTRALIA?"

Blaine sighed and bowed his head; he knew he had this coming. Kurt laughed in disbelief and threw his head into his hands, "Blaine, that's the other side of the world! We have family and friends here!"

Kurt stopped talking when he saw the darkness in Blaine's eyes, an unreadable expression appearing on his face, "Blaine?"

"Honey, you said you knew how serious this was. You know what that means. If we are to stay together - if we want to stay alive that is… there cant be friends or family any more: it's too dangerous."

No change happened for Blaine's expression but Kurt felt the tears start to pool in his own eyes, he racked his brain for an alternative… but he didn't even understand half of Blaine's story, never mind if there was some sort of loophole where he could still be with his family and friends.

"B-but Dad…" Kurt stammered half hopeful, half in denial, falling backwards in shock. He felt Blaine's strong hands on his waist, supporting him and holding him close.

"It will be safer for him away from us Kurt - much safer." Blaine's voice was strong and sure, whispering into Kurt's hair as he cried into his husbands shoulder.

Melting into Blaine's embrace, Kurt felt soft hands running circles over his lower back. He felt so close and secure in his husbands arms; there was really no other place in the world he'd rather be.

That's when he realised. It hit Kurt like a full speed freight train, straight in the face: He'll be safe with Blaine. Everyone will be safe as long as he stays with Blaine. He may not understand any of this but his husband does. It's better for everybody. He's an assassin after all.

Slowly lifting his head, Kurt gulped down his last sob and wipe tears ungracefully from his face, "I know… it's just hard to come to terms with."

"I'm sorry it has to be like this Kurt, I really am."

"It's not your fault is it… If I would never have looked under that stupid bed then none of this would have fucking happened!" Kurt felt his emotions changing way to quickly, all at once he was sad, angry, afraid, so many different feelings at the same time. His face grew hot with confusion and his hands automatically began twisting together.

Blaine lifted his husbands chin, staring deep into his eyes, showing clearly his love and devotion, along with a sense of protection and offered a small smile, "Kurt, stop baby. You know this couldn't have been helped - you would have found out soon enough anyway… it was killing me lying to you about all of this."

Nodding quickly, Kurt pulled away to kneel beside Jasper, running his fingertips through the silky fur. After a few short minutes of calm, he glanced back up at his beautiful husband with a final look of acceptance, "We need to go, don't we?"

The pain that flashed through Blaine's eyes at Kurt's words was blazing like fire in amongst his love. It hurt him to the core, knowing that he's taking him away from everything he loves to be safe, all because of him being a monster… but it was for his own safety - he loved Kurt too much to lose him, "When you're ready, yes."

Placing a kiss to Jaspers nose, Kurt stood slowly, losing his balance slightly. He gave his husband the most sincere look he could manage and reached out to take his hands, "I'm ready."
