“Excuse me?!” Kurt yelled.  “I’m who?  What?!  Will someone please tell me what happened?”  Kurt got up from his place on the hospital bed to walk to the mirror across the room.  As he examined this new body in the mirror Logan started talking.

            “Well, long story short, when you pressed the return button your soul entered a recently vacated body.”  Kurt whipped his head around to glare at Logan.

            “I don’t want a short story!  Tell me why the hell I’m in this ugly, horribly fashioned, and extremely un-moisturized body!”  Kurt had a disgusted look on his face and was feeling his dry and pasty skin.

            “Ugh, I have got to do something about this,” he mumbled to himself.  “Now talk!”  He shouted towards Logan.

            “Well as it says here Dean was recently involved in a fatal crash,” Logan began looking at the doctor’s report.  “Just shortly before you oh so kindly pressed the return button Dean flat lined on the operating table.  At the time that you pressed the button he was the most recently vacated body so that’s where your soul went.”

            At that point Kurt was thoroughly confused and frustrated.  He wanted to be anywhere but here.  He was supposed to be with Blaine!

            “Wait a minute,” Kurt said thoughtfully.  “If I’m Dean…why do I still remember everything about Kurt?”

            “See, that’s the thing.  Kurt’s memories stayed with your soul.  Those will always be with you.  You still know and remember everyone in Kurt’s life.  But this brings me to rule number one.  You can’t tell anyone about this!  No one can know what happened to you and that you’re actually Kurt.  It could mess a lot of things up not to mention put us both in a lot of trouble.”

            “But I can’t keep this from Blaine!” Kurt whined.

            “NO Kurt.  No means no!  Now lets get-“ Before Logan could finish Kurt was out of the room.  He could not stay here.  He knew just where he needed to go.

            Kurt walked up to the apartment and grabbed the spare key he and Blaine kept under the mat.  He could still smell the omelets that Blaine cooked that morning before work and all of a sudden it hit him.  Blaine doesn’t know who he is.  Blaine Anderson, his one true love, thought he was dead.  With that Kurt’s legs gave out and he slid down the door collapsing on the ground.  A single tear escaped his eye.  None of his friends knew that he was right here.  How did Logan expect him to keep that from them?

            Kurt stood up slowly and made his way to the bedroom.  The bed was unmade and his and Blaine’s pajamas sat tangled together at the foot.  He picked up his silk pajama set and hugged it tightly to his chest, breathing in the smell of Blaine.  Then he heard the click of the door.  Blaine was home.  Wait, Blaine was home.  Kurt wasn’t Kurt.  Blaine didn’t know who he was.  He had to get out of there.  In a rush he grabbed his and Blaine’s pajamas off the bed and ran into the bathroom.  He ran straight through the bathroom and out the back door that was in the corner of the room.  As soon as he stepped out the door a person caught his arm.

            “Come on, Kurt.  You’ve got somewhere else to be.” Logan said.

            Kurt took his arm back and turned to face Logan.

            “Please,” he begged.  “I just need to see him.  Just once.”  Logan nodded and Kurt walked around the side of the house.  He could see Blaine through the big French doors that they-or Blaine- had leading into the family room.  There he was, sitting on the black sofa, head in his hands.  On his lap sat the photo of Kurt and Blaine from last summer.  They spent a week at Carole’s cabin in the mountains.  That was the best week of Kurt’s life.  He thought back to that week.  It was full of adventures, laughs, cuddles, and first times.  That was when he realized Blaine was his forever.  They were meant to be and nothing was ever going to pull them apart. Except, maybe this. 

            Kurt could see the tears falling freely down Blaine’s face.  A sob escaped Kurt’s lips before he realized that he was crying too.  At that time Logan came up to him and pulled him around so they were facing each other.  He placed a comforting hand on Kurt’s shoulder. 

            “Listen to me, Kurt.  If you two were really meant to be together, you will be.  And it will happen without him knowing who you actually are.  Now come on, we’ve still got some more to find out about Dean.”

            Logan led Kurt to the hospital he had been at just earlier today.  As they walked into the front door Logan leaned over to Kurt.

            “And this is where you work, Dr. Shaller.”  Before Logan had the chance to explain any further Kurt was flooded with questions and greetings.

            “Welcome back, Dr. Shaller! Glad to see you’re all right!”

            “Oh my gosh, Doc! We were all so worried about you!”

            Kurt shot another questioning and frustrated look at Logan as he was pulled away by a nurse.  She immediately started in on a conversation.

            “Dr, I know you just got back but we need your help.”  She led him into a patient’s room and started talked about all the procedures.  There were several voices in the room but one in particular stood out to him.  When he looked up he couldn’t keep the little whine from escaping his mouth.  Blaine was standing there in front of him.

            “Hi, Doctor Shaller.  It’s so nice to finally meet you.”  Kurt could still hear the sorrow in Blaine’s voice.  He took the outstretched hand and shook it gently.

            Kurt continued the day in a confused mess.  His mind kept wandering back to what had happened earlier.  Of course Blaine worked here!  He knew that!  He had no idea how he had managed to forget!  He knew one thing for sure; he could not keep working here with Blaine.

            Because Blaine and Dean were co-workers Kurt decided it would only be appropriate to attend the funeral, his funeral.  He walked up to the site, Logan in tow.  Looking around he realized it was just what he wanted it to be.  Blaine had placed his favorite flowers, pink carnations, all around. There was a picture of him from his high school graduation at the front. Blaine always said that was his favorite picture of Kurt.  He and Logan took a seat in the back just as Blaine began talking.  Kurt could tell Blaine had been crying.  His eyes were red and puffy and were still shining with fresh tears.

            “Thank you all for coming.  I know that Kurt would have been happy to see you all here.  Kurt, he was the love of my life.  I knew from the moment I set eyes on him that he was something special.” Blaine was already starting to choke up.  “I always knew I would want to spend the rest of my life with him.  I just never thought that wouldn’t happen.” Blaine swallowed.  “I never told Kurt this, but that day on the staircase, he saved me.  He became the angel in my life.  Every night I would dream about his smile and it always made my day when I got to wake up and actually see that beautiful smile.  He changed my life in ways I never thought possible.  That’s something I’ll never forget, regardless of where he is.  And I know that it wasn’t just me.”  There was a steady flow of tears coming out of both Kurt and Blaine’s eyes now.  Kurt couldn’t stay here.  He couldn’t sit here and watch these people suffer because of him. 

He got up and ran.  He ran fast and didn’t stop until his body made him.  Funny enough, it was right where he needed to be.  He walked up to the small house and knocked on the door softly.  A slender girl with long brown hair opened the door.

            “Rachel?” Kurt choked out. “It’s me, Kurt.”
