Kurt was woken up early Tuesday morning by James shaking up. "Kurt wake up!"
He opened his eyes and looked at his alarm clock, it was 5:30. "James, it's 5:30 in the morning! What the hell do you want?!"

James smiled "Hey don't shoot the messenger! I was told to wake you up at 5:30 by Blaine and told to give you this." He handed Kurt a note.
����
��������� "Good morning! I know it's early…and I know you'll probably kill me but I want to make today special. I'll be there at around 6:15 to pick you up. We're going out to breakfast. Today is going to be…magical ~Blaine"

He smiled and put the note on his bedside table. "I'm going to take a shower. Do you need the bathroom?"

James shook his head. He grabbed his uniform went into the bathroom and showered. It took him a while to get his hair done. "Of all the days for me to have a bad hair day." He finally got it the way he wanted it. He straightened his blue and red tie and glanced at it his watch. "6:08, seven minutes till Blaine gets here." He walked out of the bathroom smiling; today was going to be perfect. He put his books into his bag and opened that months Vogue.

There was a knock on the door, James went to answer the door and there was Blaine smiling. "Come on in Blaine."

Kurt put down his magazine and smiled at him "Hi. "

Blaine walked over to him giving him a hug and a kiss. He looked into his beautiful hazel eyes and said "Happy Anniversary."

Blaine smiled "Happy Anniversary. You ready?"

He nodded "See you later James."

James nodded "Yup, have a good time."

Kurt took his hand and they walked to Blaine's car. "So, where are we going?" he asked.

"Well, since we live in Ohio, and almost all the restaurants here suck and aren't open until nine, we've really got no choice but to go to the Lima Bean."

He smiled "Good I need coffee!"

Blaine smiled "I figured you'd like that."

He nodded "Blaine we could go to McDonald's and I wouldn't care, as long as I'm with you."

Blaine smiled "Me too, although I wouldn't want to give you a heart attack in a bag."

Kurt laughed "Thanks."

Blaine pulled into the parking lot and ran to open Kurt's door, always the gentleman. He took Kurt's hand and they walked into the shop. The line wasn't long which was strange, considering it was 6:45. Blaine ordered their coffees and bagels and they went to sit at their usual table.

"So, is it just me or does it feel like this month flew by?"

Blaine laughed "Nope, it seems like yesterday that I asked you to be my boyfriend"

He nodded. "I know! I do believe it was actually at this table too. Hah you almost made me choke on my coffee."

Blaine laughed remembering.��He sighed "That was the best day of my life"

Kurt smiled and took his hand "I know mine too." He loved the way that his fingers fit perfectly between Blaine's.

Blaine smiled at Kurt and said "I can't wait for dinner tonight it's going to be perfect!"

He smiled "I know! I can't what to see what you have planned! You've been so secretive; I can't even get it out of Jake!"

Blaine chuckled. "Good, because I swore him to secrecy. You'll just have to wait and be surprised!"

He nodded "Even though you know that I hate surprises!"

Blaine just smiled "Oh calm yourself, you'll love it!"

He smiled "I'm sure I will, but its 7:15 and as much as I would love to stay here and chat. I'd really rather not to piss off Mr. Green. So we need to get going or we'll be late."

Blaine sighed "Yes, I suppose you're right…Let's get going." They threw out their coffee cups and went to Blaine's car and drove back to Dalton.

They got back with fifteen minutes to spare. They held hands as they walked to AP Chemistry together smiling. They sat next to each other in the back as they always did.��Both of the boys were so happy, nothing could put a damper on their spirits. The bell rang and Mr. Green walked in. "Good morning boys! I've got a little surprise for you, Pop Quiz. "

Well…except that, but it didn't last long. The school day went by surprisingly fast, and they both felt like it would go by agonizingly slow.

Kurt met Blaine at his locker once the final bell rang. "Hey you!"

He turned around "Oh hey babe, what's going on?"

Kurt smiled "Not much, I just need to ask you a quick question." He nodded as he put his calculus book in his bag.��

"What time are you planning on leaving tonight?"

He sighed "Like 6:15-ish." He closed his locker and looked at him curiously, "Why?"

Kurt smiled "No reason, just curious. I gotta go. Call me later." Kurt gave him a quick kiss and left him confused.

He texted Mercedes Hey did you get it? ~Kurt
He got a response almost immediately.

Yes, and it's waiting for you on your bed. All it needs is to be wrapped ~Mercedes

Kurt smiled Awesome you're the best! I love you! ~Kurt. He smiled at her response

Ily 2. Now quit texting me and go get ready for your date! And don't forget to call me after! ~Mercedes.��

He knew she'd kill him if he replied so he went to the store to pick up a card for Blaine. It took him a while to find the right one, being the true romantic he was. Once he found the right one he grabbed a gift bag, tissue paper, wrapping paper, and tape. He went to the check out line and it was surprisingly long for a Tuesday afternoon. But he got through the line in no time and he literally flew back to his dorm.

James was sitting on his bed doing his history homework. "Hey Kurt, something came for you and where have you been? It's almost 5!"

He smiled "Getting some stuff for my anniversary tonight."

James put his pen down. "Speaking of which, Blaine told me to tell you to dress like you're going to church."

He raised an eyebrow at James. "I'm atheist, Blaine knows that."

James sighed "Um, I don't know, picture day then, Not too fancy but nice."

He nodded and opened the box on his bed smiling "It's perfect." He quickly wrapped the contents of the box, put it in the bag and signed the card.

"Well I'm going to run through the shower, do you need the bathroom."

James shook his head. He looked at him. "James, are you alright? You've been quiet lately."

James nodded "Yeah I'm fine, just a lot of homework is all."

He nodded "Alright, if you need anything let me know."

He nodded. Kurt grabbed an outfit and ran through the shower. It took him longer than he thought it would to get his hair perfect. He got on his new Marc Jacobs cardigan and went back into his room wondering what Blaine was doing.

"Are you sure Jake, my hair isn't that frizzy?"

Jake groaned. "Oh my god, yes Blaine! For the fifth time I'm sure! You look fine calm down! Jesus!"

He sighed "I'm sorry, I'm just…nervous that's all."

Jake raised an eyebrow at him, Blaine never��gets nervous. "You're nervous, about what?"

He shrugged "I don't know, it's just I've never felt like this for anyone before, not even Logan! Plus it's our anniversary, w-what if he doesn't like what I got him? What if I say something stupid? What-"

Jake grabbed him by the shoulders "Blaine, I know that you're nervous. But you seriously need to get a grip! He's going to love what you got him and everything will be fine."��

Jake glanced at the clock, it was 6:05. "Now take a deep breath and it let it out slowly."

He did as he was told. "Are you calm now?"

He nodded "Yes…"

Jake smiled "Good now here's the rose, and you have your keys, your wallet and his gift."

He took the red rose from him. "Now you have everyth-…wait a second."

Jake ran to his desk and took out his breath mints and handed them to Blaine. "Correction, now you have everything."

Jake turned Blaine towards the door. "Now go and have a good time. "

He smiled "Thanks Jake." Jake smiled

"No need to thank me. Now beat it!" Jake literally pushed him out the door.

He chuckled and went down the hall to Kurt's dorm before knocking on the door. James answered the door. "Is he ready?" James held up one finger and turned to ask Kurt. He opened the door letting Blaine in.

He walked in and saw his boyfriend wearing nice black pants, a white collared shirt and a grey cardigan that brought out his beautiful eyes.

He smiled at him "You look great."

He pulled the red rose from behind his back "For you."

Kurt smiled "Aww, it's beautiful; thank you."

He gave Kurt a quick kiss before he went to put it in a vase. "Are you ready to go Kurt?"

Kurt nodded. "Yes. I'll see you later James, don't wait up."

James nodded "Okay have fun you two." They nodded and waved.

Kurt took Blaine's hand and they walked to the Parking lot "We're taking my car tonight; we take your car everywhere! You can drive if you want."

Blaine sighed "Fine but I need to grab something out of my car, and I'm driving. "

He nodded and unlocked his black SUV and got in on the passenger side. He put Blaine's present under the seat and waited for Blaine. Blaine came back, put Kurt's present behind the driver's seat and drove off.

He smiled curiously at Blaine. "So where are we going?"

Blaine smiled "Breadstix."

He smiled "Oh, I see. You look great by the way."

Blaine smiled "Thank you, as do you."

He pulled out a CD. "Music?"

Blaine nodded "Sure." He put the CD In and Teenage Dream played

Blaine couldn't help but laugh a bit. "Hey, I know this song from somewhere…Oh that's right we sang this song when you came to 'spy' on us."

He nodded "Yup. Hey were you singing that song to me that day? Just curious."

Blaine blushed. "Uh…maybe…a little."

He looked at him "Really?" Blaine laughed and nodded.

As they pulled into the parking lot at Breadstix, he spotted a familiar red Prius. "No…it can't be Michael. He's still in Colorado." He told himself. Blaine quickly ran to Kurt's side opening the door.

Kurt smiled "Why thank you!" He grabbed his bag and they walked into the restaurant hand in hand.

Blaine walked to the podium and said "Reservation for two under Anderson."

The hostess nodded "Okay, have a seat; your table should be ready soon."

They nodded and went to sit on a bench. "Hey, are we still on for our movie night tomorrow?" asked Kurt.

He smiled "Of course we are!" He kissed his cheek "Good."

A young waitress came over "Anderson?" They stood up and followed her. They took their seats and ordered what they wanted starting with two diet cokes.

Blaine took Kurt's hand, "This is nice, just being alone together without interruptions. "

He nodded "I agree, we need to do this more often!"

He smiled and nodded "Definitely, so what did you have in mind for tomorrow night?"

Kurt sighed "Well, I thought we'd just order some Chinese or pizza and watch a movie. I really don't care what, except Harry Potter, we watched that last time. Maybe we could watch Willy Wonka or something."

He nodded. "Yeah that sounds good. I love Willy Wonka!"

Their meals arrived shortly after, both ordered Lasagna. "So how is it?" asked Blaine

"Delicious!" he smiled. After they had finished their meal they waited for dessert.

Kurt took Blaine's hand. "Have I ever told you how much you mean to me?"

He smiled "Sort of, not in so many words."

Kurt smiled and said "You and I, we haven't known each other for very long, and we've been through a lot, especially this past month…"

He smiled sadly and nodded not taking his eyes from Kurt's as he continued. "But you've done so much for me in these past few months. You're not just my boyfriend, but my best friend."

Kurt chuckled "It's-it's at this stage in our lives when we discover who we are."

He nodded in agreement as Kurt continued.

"Blaine, I didn't know who I was until I met you. I couldn't be me until I met you. My life changed for the better the day I met you. A-and I've discovered s-something Blaine."

He tilted his head slightly and asked "And what is that?"

Kurt smiled "That, I'm only me when I'm with you. You complete me Blaine."

He smiled with a few tears in his eyes "K-Kurt." He put his head down to try not to cry.

Kurt shook his head. "You saved me you know.-"

Blaine looked up and his smile faded and his face went pale.

"A-and I love you Blaine."

Blaine didn't hear him and fear came over him and said "Oh no…"

Kurt felt his heart break. "W-what?"��

Blaine sighed "We, we need to leave." Kurt looked at him confused "what, why?"

He went to Kurt's side and whispered "My brother and John are here."

He saw them walking toward them "Shit."

He looked at Kurt. "Don't say anything ok?"

Kurt was confused but nodded. Then he saw them, Michael looked a lot like Blaine's mother with his father's build and John reminded Kurt of Karofsky and that terrified him.

"Well, well, well, look who it is John, my little brother Blaine!"

Michael looked at Kurt "Oh, and look he's got himself a boyfriend! Isn't that just lovely?"

He looked up at his brother. "What the hell are you doing here? You're supposed to be in Colorado."

Michael smiled "I finished my finals early and got home last night. Dad told me you were here celebrating your one month anniversary, so I figured we'd drop by."

John smiled "Yeah, we wanted to see the 'prince' and his new princess."

He'd had enough, and stood up. "Don't talk about him like that John, seriously."

They scoffed Michael got extremely close to his face "You're too much of a chicken shit to stop us."

Kurt knew this could get out of hand and he tried to wave down their waitress.

Michael smiled "We just wanted to warn the little lady about you, and how you're a cheater."

He sighed "Michael, you've already ruined��one relationship for me with Logan. I really care about Kurt, and if you think I'm going to let you ruin it again for me you're sadly mistaken!"

Michael rolled his eyes. "Please, you ruined that one for yourself when you made out with Jordan when he Logan went to get coffee. You're too big of a pansy to do anything about it anyway. Besides, you already know who I feel about your type, but little princess here doesn't."

Michael looked at Kurt. "Listen here, you fags don't belong here. You're all an abomination, it's a sin to be gay a-"

Blaine couldn't believe he was doing this. He wouldn't let him get Kurt thinking things that weren't true and interrupted him "Michael leave Kurt alone!"

Michael looked back at Blaine "Do I need to finish what I started back at the house little brother?"

He looked at Kurt; he had tears in his eyes, he looked so frightened. He looked back at his brother "You want to hit me? Do it! Do it because it won't change who I am! As much as you want to you can't beat the gay out of me as much as I can beat the ignorance out of you! " Before he knew it, he felt Michael's fist against his nose.

Kurt gasped "Oh god! Blaine!"

He got up and punched Michael back. Kurt held him back and said "Blaine, don't. He's not worth it!" Blaine got out of his grasp and managed to punch Michael a few more times before the manager showed up.

"Hey! What's going on here!?" he asked.

They all started talking at the same time. "One at a time!"

An elderly couple sitting in the booth next to them explained the whole story and a few other tables and waiters confirmed their story.

The manager looked at Michael and James and said "You need to leave the premises immediately! If you refuse, the authorities will be called."

Michael looked at Kurt and Blaine. "This isn't over." The two boys stormed out of the restaurant. The manager looked at them.

"We are so sorry about this. Your meal tonight is on the house and here's a coupon for a free dinner for two. "

He gave the coupon to Kurt. "Are you boys alright."

They nodded "Ok, well enjoy the rest of your night." The manager left them.

Kurt looked at Blaine, he had a bloody nose and lip .Kurt moved to Blaine's side. "Let's get you cleaned up."

Kurt gave him a napkin for his nose and held a napkin to his lip. His lip stopped bleeding quickly. "Are you okay Blaine?"

He nodded. "Yeah, I'm fine. I'm sorry about all this."

Kurt smiled "It's okay, as long as you're alright. Now take off the napkin, let me see your nose."

He took the napkin off, the bleeding had stopped but it was really swollen and red. "I'm going to touch it gently ok? I just want to see if it may be broken."

He nodded and winced when Kurt touched it gently. "Sorry baby. The bleeding's stopped but I think it may be broken. I want to get it checked, I'm not a doctor."

He whined. "No, I don't wanna! I hate hospitals! Plus I don't want to ruin our one month! We can get it checked by Mrs. Jones tomorrow morning."

He gave Kurt the puppy dog eyes he knew that Kurt can't resist. "Please Kurt?"

Kurt sighed "Oh alright! As long as you promise we get it checked out first thing tomorrow."��

He nodded "I promise."

Kurt sighed "Well, since we're still waiting for our sundae, I got you something."

Kurt took out the bag and handed it to him. "Happy Anniversary Baby."

He smiled "Thanks baby."

He read the card first. It had a flower heart on it and it said
'Happy Anniversary'

He began reading the inside and teared up.

Seasons change and people change,
But the way I feel about you,
Will remain the same
All the thoughtful things you do
Mean so much to me---
And I only hope you know
The special place you'll always have within my heart. Happy One Month Blaine
������������������������������All my love, Kurt"

He looked up at him. "Kurt…I-I"

Kurt smiled "Just open the rest of it."

He opened the bag. "Two? Kurt…" Kurt laughed

"They sort of go together. Quit complaining and open it!"

He did as he was told. Inside the first package was a box of guitar picks with his name on them along with some extra strings for his guitar. "Aw, thanks Kurt."

Kurt smiled "I know how often you 'lose' your picks. There's more."

He opened the last package. "Oh my god!" He looked at him "K-Kurt!" He picked it up. It was a whole package of blank personalized sheet music with Blaine's name on it.

"Do you like it?"

He nodded "Of course I do its perfect! I love it! Thank you so much."

Kurt smiled "I thought you might like legit sheet music to write your songs on better than that notebook you write in. I'm glad you like it!"

He smiled "I do thank you Kurt."

He smiled "And I have something for you." He handed the gift to him. Kurt smiled and read the card.

"Time seems to fly so quickly
That we may not often say
The sentimental, loving things
We feel from day to day
But a special day like this one
Is a perfect chance to show
That you're thought of with affection
Much more often than you know. Happy one month Kurt.
��������Yours forever, Blaine."��

Kurt smiled "That was sweet, thank you." Kurt quickly opened the package and smiled. It was the picture frame Blaine let Kurt use. it was red with hearts and their initials, K.M.H. & B.J.A. Inside the frame, a picture of them during Warbler practice it must've been taken recently because Kurt had his head on his shoulder and Blaine's head rested on his head. He turned the picture and the other side revealed a picture of them kissing, and at the bottom the word forever was engraved. "Thank you Blaine, I love this."

He smiled "I'm glad you like it I made it a week ago."

Kurt smiled "Thank you Blaine." He kissed Kurt gently.

They left the restaurant and Kurt drove them back to Dalton. Blaine walked Kurt back to his room. "I had a really nice time tonight, despite the fight."

He winced his nose still hurt. "You made today special, thank you Blaine. "

He smiled "You're welcome. I'll see you tomorrow. Good night Kurt."��

Kurt smiled "Good night Blaine. Happy one month." Kurt gently kissed his lips, being careful of his nose.

"Happy one month Kurt." He watched Blaine walk down the hall way before going into his room. He smiled as he quietly closed his door.

He turned to see James still awake. "So, how'd it go?"

He smiled "It was interesting…but perfect!"

James smiled "That's good I'm glad." He put his new picture frame on his bedside table.

"Aww, is that what he gave you?"

He nodded "Yeah isn't it cute?"

James nodded "Yeah it's adorable! Are you going to call that girl, Mercedes?"

He sighed, "I kinda have to otherwise she'll have a fit. Do you mind?"

James shook his head. "I don't care I can sleep through anything but just keep it down a little bit."

He smiled and dialed her number.

It rang once before she answered "Hey, how'd it go?"

He sighed "It was…interesting."

She sighed "How so?"

He closed his eyes "Well, I told him how I felt-"

She gasped "Did you tell him that you loved him?"

He looked at his picture. "Y-yes."

She squealed "Oh my god! What did he say?!"��

He sighed; he needed to say this in a way that she wouldn't want to kill him. "Um…he said 'Oh no'"

She got quiet, that wasn't a good sign for her. She finally spoke "He said what now?"��

He repeated what he said "Oh hell to the no! I need to call-"

He sighed as she went on her rant. "Before you call anybody I need to explain what happened tonight!"

She grumbled "Fine."

He took a deep breath. "Do you remember that story I told you about Blaine's brother and what he did to him?"

She sighed "Yeah, why?"

He sighed "Well, he kinda showed up at Breadstix. Blaine spotted him and when I said I love you he said 'oh no' at the same time. So I'm not sure if he heard me or not."

She sighed "Did he do anything."

Kurt scoffed "Yeah, he did. He came over and started talking smack and when Blaine stood up for us, Michael sort of punched Blaine in the face. I tried to hold him back but I couldn't and a fight broke out."

She gasped "Oh wow is he okay?"

He cleared his throat "Yeah he's okay, a bloody lip and a possible broken or sprained nose. But other than that he's fine."

She breathed a sigh of relief. "What about you, are you okay?"

He chuckled "Yeah, I'm fine. I'm a bit upset he didn't hear me. But the manager kicked them out and didn't make us pay for our meals, and gave us a coupon for a free dinner for two at Breadstix."

She laughed "Well that's good, did he like what you got him?"��

He smiled "Oh yeah, he loved it! He gave me a picture frame, the same one I brought with me to your house."

She sighed "Speaking of which, did you give him the one you made him?"

He sighed "No it's still in my desk. I'm going to give that to him before I leave."

He yawned. "I'm gonna go 'Cedes I'm tired. Talk to you later."

They said goodnight and hung up. Kurt fell asleep thinking about that day and about what Blaine would said when he told him tomorrow.

Blaine sighed as he went into his dorm. Jake was still awake, not surprising. "Hey lover boy, how'd it go? And what happened to your nose?"

He sighed "Well, it went great, even though Michael and John showed up. Yeah, hence my nose being swollen and red."

Jake gasped knowing the second Blaine said Michael that it was bad. "Oh no…What were they even doing there? I thought they were still in Colorado."

Blaine took off his jacket sighing "So did I, and why do you think?"

Jake sighed "To ruin your relationship…again. But how did they find out where you were? You haven't been home since you told your parents you were with Kurt."

He laid on his bed "Well, I told my mom. She probably told Nancy and Michael said he heard it from my Dad, and he wanted to meet the 'princes' new 'princess'"

Jake scoffed. "He's such a douche!"

He nodded "He got all up in my face talking smack to me and Kurt."

Jake groaned he knew how protective he was of Kurt and he would be do something stupid. "Oh god, what'd you do?"

He sighed. "Well, after he stopped talking shit to Kurt, he asked if he needed to finish what he started at the house to which I replied; '"You want to hit me? Do it! Do it because it won't change who I am! As much as you want to you can't beat the gay out of me as much as I can beat the ignorance out of you!' "

Jake's jaw dropped. "No, you didn't!"

He nodded "Holy shit! Blaine! What happened?"

He pointed to his nose. "We got into a fight, Kurt tried to stop me but he couldn't. So the manager kicked Michael and John out. He gave us our meal free and a coupon for a free dinner for two."

Jake rolled his eyes "Wow."

Blaine put his new sheet music away. "Whoa hold up! What's that?"

He smiled "Oh this? Personalized blank sheet music, Kurt gave it to me along with guitar picks with my name on them because somebody keeps stealing mine. Plus some extra guitar strings."

Jake smiled "That's cool! Did he like his gift?"

He nodded "Yeah he loved it!"

Jake smiled "See what did I tell you? What did he think of the song?"

He ran his hand through his hair. "He didn't hear it."

James eyes widened. "What, why not?!"

he sighed. "It's not done yet Jake! Plus it wasn't the right time."

Jake shook his head "Okay man, I guess you know what you're doing. And um would you care to explain to me why I'm getting James forced on me tomorrow night?"

He chuckled "Kurt wants to have a movie night without any interruptions."

Jake sighed "It's a good thing you're like a brother to me otherwise I would beat your ass!"

He laughed, which hurt. "OW! Don't make me laugh it hurts my nose!"

Jake chuckled "Sucks to be you! Well, I'm going to bed."

He nodded "Me too night." It took Blaine a while to fall asleep because of his nose but he did, thinking about Kurt.
