I was lying on the sofa waiting for my Dad to come home. It was just after six and I needed to talk to my Dad about going to Blaine's. I hoped he would be home soon as I wanted to sort out what I was wearing and not go to the Anderson's house wearing sweatpants. Carole had been home for a little while when I had first woken up and she had helped me get dressed, get down the stairs and onto the sofa. She had gone off to work after ensuring I had everything I needed close by and wasn't in any pain. Finn was now home from school and was sitting in the living room with me watching the TV. I had been having a 'How I Met Your Mother' marathon, watching my favourite episodes. Barney was my favourite character by far and I loved Neil Patrick Harris. I loved his relationship with David Burkta and definitely wanted a relationship like theirs. I thought I had it with Blaine but I needed to talk to him to see if there is a chance for us. Neil Patrick Harris really reminded me of that guy who Mr Schue went to school with and who wanted to shut down the Glee club. I think his name was Bryan Ryan or something. I was currently on the episode 'The Ducky Tie', chuckling away at Barney's antics with Finn.

"Dude you feeling okay?" Finn asked, looking concerned.

I just sighed, "Finn I'm fine. I would have told you if I wasn't okay or needed anything."

Finn nodded, "True. So you want to hear about Glee today?"

"Yeah let's hear all the dramas of the New Directions," I said, knowing how much drama there had been over the last three years in the Glee club.

Finn gave me a look, "Come on, you love the drama. It keeps it exciting."

I rolled my eyes, wincing a little, "Yeah I love drama when it doesn't involve me. My life's had plenty of drama. Anyway what happened today then? Does it involve love? Pregnancy? Murder?"

Finn just laughed, "Oh Kurt. No everyone was still talking about you and how we're worried about you. Rachel's trying to demand I find out what happened to you and I just keep telling her I don't know and for her to leave it alone. Blaine's been depressed all day... well actually he was a lot happier after lunch time. He was walking around with a smile on his face and I swear he was humming 'Teenage Dream' as well. He kept making notes on his phone during Glee after school, looking so happy. Do you have anything to do with that?"

"I may have texted Blaine around lunch time," I whispered, focusing on the TV.

"I knew it!" Finn exclaimed, "His change was so dramatic I knew you had to be involved. Blaine's been beating himself up about all this, saying it's his fault and he never meant to hurt you. He desperately wants to know what happened to you. He was even coming up with suggestions. I tried to look like I was busy with something as I didn't want to give anything away and show that I know what happened."

"What did he suggest?" I asked, feeling curious at what my... Blaine thought had happened to me.

Finn paused for a moment, "He had so many ideas and they got more unrealistic as he went on. He was wondering if you had been attacked, if you had been hit by a car, if you had been mugged, if you had been abducted by aliens... He just desperately wants to find out what happens to you Kurt. After that he was wondering if he'd be able to find the person who did this to you. Dude when are you going to tell Blaine that Sebastian did this to you? The fact Sebastian tried to force himself on you will make Blaine want to kill him. No matter how much you beg Blaine to leave it alone or let you deal with it, Blaine is going to kick his ass. He loves you too much to let this lie. There will be hell to pay."

I let out a groan at Finn's words, knowing that this was the truth. I would tell Blaine to let me handle it but he wouldn't be able to do this. He would want to find Sebastian himself and demand to know why he had hurt me. That particular version would always end with Blaine beating Sebastian up, or at least punching him in his meerkat face. No matter what I said, Blaine would not let it slide and let Sebastian get away with his assault on me.

Finn seemed worried after I let out a groan, "Dude are you okay? Are you hurt? Shall I ring my Mum?"

I shook my head, being careful not to hurt myself, "I'm fine Finn. I've just realised you're right about Blaine reacting badly no matter what. I wish I could hide this from him but I have to tell him the truth don't I?"

"Yeah you do," Finn replied, "You have to tell him the truth. Even if you don't, he's probably going to find out some other way."

I sighed, knowing this was true. Even if I didn't tell Blaine today one day the truth would come out, even if it was someone letting slip or Sebastian himself telling Blaine. I had to be honest with the man I loved. I hoped that we would work everything out but I couldn't get my hopes up too high. I turned my attention back to the television and focused on Barney making a bet with Lily and Marshall so he could touch Lily's boobs. Suddenly I heard the keys in the door and a few seconds later my Dad was walking into the house.

"Dad!" I exclaimed, sitting up slightly but doing this caused me to irritate my ribs and I winced visibly.

Dad was immediately by my side, "Well that was nice welcome home but son I don't want you to hurt yourself anymore! You need to take it easy."

"I'm sorry but I have something to ask you," I said eagerly, hoping my Dad would say yes.

Dad looked at me suspiciously, "What do you want?"

I smile innocently at my father, "Please can you drive me to Blaine's for half seven?"

I thought my Dad would be happy I would be talking to Blaine but instead he looked uneasy, "I don't know Kurt. You need your rest and I don't think having an emotional talk with Blaine is going to do you any good."

"Please Dad!" I pleaded, "I need to talk to Blaine. We have to sort this out sooner than later. I have been resting and I will just sitting down at Blaine's."

Dad looked at me for several long moments before letting out an exasperated sigh, "Fine I'll take you to Blaine for half seven."

I grinned happily, "Thank you Dad. Could you please help me upstairs?"

Dad just shook his head at me, "You're something else Kurt Hummel."

(break)

The closer we got to Blaine's house, the more nervous I felt. I didn't know what to expect. Dad seemed to know that I was nervous so didn't say anything, but instead smiled at me every now and then and let me play the Broadway mixed CD I had made for car journeys. I glanced at the clock and saw it was nearly half past. I pulled out my phone to let Blaine know that I was on my way and would be there shortly.

From Kurt 19:27
Hey I'm on my way and should be there soon. Kurt xxxxxx

I placed my lap back on my lap and took a deep breath. I glanced down at my outfit, hoping that I looked perfect. I was wearing a simple outfit as I didn't want to be too elaborate in my condition. I was just wearing a pair of my skinny jeans and my Zara cream and gold striped top, topped off with my Alexander McQueen skull scarf and my Paul Smith boots. I had styled my hair in the usual Kurt Hummel way but had taken incredible care not to touch the stitches on my face or the cut at the back of my head. I couldn't wait for the day the stitches were gone and I only had a very faint scar there. Suddenly my phone buzzed, letting me know Blaine had replied.

From Blaine 19:29
That's absolutely fine. Thanks for letting me know otherwise I'd be worried that you weren't coming. You had every right not to come. Anyway I can't wait to see you. Your Blaine xxxxxx

I smiled to myself as I read Blaine's text. I could feel my hope rising in the fact he himself had said he was mine. I just wanted everything to go back to the way things were. I knew that wasn't possible and Blaine and I had a lot to talk about.

Five minutes later, we pulled outside Blaine's house and Dad stopped the engine. We both sat in silence for a moment, neither of us knowing what to say.

Dad spoke first, "Let me know what time you want to be picked up. I give you my permission to stay over at Blaine's tonight as you have a lot to talk about and you're not in the position to be doing stuff tonight."

I let out a weak chuckle about my Dad's comment about sex. He still wasn't entirely comfortable in the fact his son had obviously had sex.

I smiled at Dad, trying not to wince when my face hurt, "I will. Shall I let you know if I'm not coming home?"

Dad shook his head, "Nah if I don't hear from you, I'll know you're at Blaine's. Do let me know if you need me no matter what, ok Kurt?"

I nodded, "I will I promise Dad."

Dad pulled me into a gentle hug, "I hope everything goes okay."

"Me too Dad," I said as I hugged him back, taking care of my ribs.

"Do you want some help?" Dad asked once he released me.

"I should be okay. I might see you later or at the very least I'll see you tomorrow. I love you Dad," I said as I opened the car door.

Dad smiled at me, "I love you too buddy. Take care."

I smiled at my Dad and got out of the car. I waved to him as he started the engine and pulled away from the pavement, giving me a quick wave. I took a deep breath and squared my shoulders, before walking up the Anderson's drive. I loved coming to their house as it was just an interior designer's dream. Mrs Anderson had made sure her house looked perfect and it truly was. I was a bit stumped at why someone would made their house look perfect but then hardly spend any time in it. I did like the Andersons and knew they liked me too. Mrs Anderson had often said how happy she was that I was with Blaine as I made him happy. The couple were just always on business trips so Blaine was often left alone. It was during those times that I practically lived at his house. I reached the front door and after a moment's of hesitation I pressed the doorbell. A few seconds later the door opened and there stood Blaine, grinning at me. I smiled slightly at the fact Blaine was wearing a polo shirt and jeans, but of course he had added a bowtie. I looked up to meet Blaine's eyes and smiled softly in reply to his grin.
Blaine's arms were suddenly around me, holding me to his chest. I wrapped my arms around him too, noting the fact that he was being careful and obviously avoiding crushing my ribs.

Blaine stepped back with his hands on my shoulders, mirroring his action in the choir room, "I'm so happy you're here. I was starting to get worried that you weren't actually going to come in when you sat in the car for a while. Not that I was watching!"

I smiled at the sight of Blaine bushing and brought one of my hands to rest on one of his on my shoulder, "It's okay Blaine. My Dad was just talking to me and seeing if I needed help getting out of the car."

Blaine nodded in understanding, "Well that makes sense. Right I've got some dinner waiting for us in the dining room. I've done us some salmon, new potatoes and vegetables with a surprise for dessert. Do you need some help at all?"

I knew what the surprise was but I decided to play coy as I didn't want to upset Blaine. I also knew I didn't need any help to get to the dining room if I walked slowly but I wanted to be close to Blaine.

"Sure that'd be great thanks," I said trying not to blush, "If you could just wrap your arm around my waist and support me that'll be great."

Blaine was immediately at my side and he wrapped his arm around my waist. I wrapped my arm around his shoulders for the extra support and allowed myself to be slowly led into the house, with Blaine kicking the door closed behind him. We slowly made our way down the huge hallway and into the dining room. Blaine led me over to a chair before letting go of me and pulling the chair out for me.

"Thank you," I said, smiling at the fact of what a gentleman Blaine was.

Blaine just winked at me before he rushed off to the kitchen. I straightened my chair out so I was sitting comfortably at the table. The table was already laid with sparkling cider for the both of us and a bowl of salad in the middle, as well as a jug of water. Blaine came back into the room carrying two plates of food. He placed it down in front of me before placing his food opposite me.

Blaine quickly sat down and smiled at me, "I hope this is okay."

"It's perfect thank you Blaine," I said, feeling so loved in that moment.

We began to eat our dinner while exchanging some polite small talk. It was hard to act so casual with the elephant in the room. I didn't know where I stood with Blaine and the fact I was covered in cuts and bruises just added to the awkwardness.

Blaine seemed to have read my mind so leaned across the table to take my hand, "I know we have so much to talk about but I was hoping we could talk after dinner. Just have a nice dinner together."

"Sure," was all I could say to Blaine's request.

I didn't know what to think of that. Did that mean he just wanted some time together before he broke up with me for good? Maybe he just wanted a nice dinner before dwelling on negative issues. I didn't want Blaine to know what was going on in my head so I just smiled and continued to eat my delicious dinner.

"Okay I have to ask, did you seriously make this yourself?" I asked, knowing that Blaine didn't have the best track record as a cook.

Blaine just laughed in return, "Hey I'll have you know that I am an alright cook. We all can't be master chefs like you Kurt Hummel."

I let out a laugh at that, "You can tell me if you ordered in."

"I promise you! It took a lot of practice but I finally pulled it off. Are you enjoying our dinner?" Blaine asked, smiling at me with a look of what seemed to be love.

I smiled back, "Very much so. I have to say Blaine Anderson, I am impressed."

Blaine's face lit up at that, "Thank you very much. At least we know that you're not the only cook in this relationship."

An awkward silence immediately struck after Blaine finished his sentence. I prayed to whatever was out there that that meant Blaine was sorry and didn't want them to break up. I just didn't know what to say to that and Blaine was staring at his dinner plate. I decided to just focus on the music that was filling the room. I smiled when I realised it was 'Teenage Dream'. When the song came to an end 'I Have Nothing' started playing. I remembered singing that song to Blaine a couple of weeks ago. I truly had meant the lyrics: "I have nothing, if I don't have you." I just hoped that I did have Blaine otherwise I would have nothing. I realised that the songs playing represented mine and Blaine's relationship.

Blaine seemed to realise I had caught on, "I have a playlist of our songs that I always add to when we sing a new song or claim one as ours."

"Wow," I said, unable to proceed, "I don't really know what to say."

Blaine looked apologetic, "I'm sorry. We'll talk after dinner."

We continued with our polite small talk; occasionally drifting into some awkward territory. When we had finished Blaine cleared our plates and refused my offer of help as he said I had to rest. I sat there and waited for him to come back, listening to the sounds of Hey Monday singing 'Candles'.

Blaine eventually came in carrying a cheesecake, "And here is the surprise. I know how much you love cheesecake and thought I'd treat you."

"That's really nice of you. Do take note that I haven't snapped my fingers at you once," I said with a laugh, remembering our conversation in Miss Pillsbury's office about me snapping my fingers as I wanted the cheesecake to come quicker.

Blaine laughed at my comment as he placed the cheesecake on the table, "Duly noted. Did you work out this was the surprise for dessert?"

I couldn't help but nod, "Sorry Blaine but I worked it out. It's the one dessert I'd happily indulge in and not care about how bad it is for you."

Blaine smiled at me before cutting a piece for me and handing me the plate with it on. I waited for Blaine to get his own piece before I dug into mine. I let out a groan as the taste hit me.

"God this is good cheesecake," I moaned as I continued to eat.

Blaine was just laughing at me, "Oh Kurt I always forget about insane you are about cheesecake. I'm glad I got it for you."

"I really appreciate it," I smiled at the boy opposite to me, loving that he knew me so well.

We both ate as much cheesecake as possible, before Blaine put it away and said he'd get it out later if need be. Blaine cleared the table once again before he was at my side ready to help me once again.

"Would you like to go to the living room or would you be more comfortable in my room?" Blaine asked me, his nerves obviously starting to hit him.

"I think the living room would be best," I replied, feeling really nervous myself.

Once I had stood up, Blaine immediately wrapped our arm around my waist and waited for me to wrap mine around his shoulder. He slowly led me into his living room and settled me down on one of the sofas. Their living room was huge and beautifully decorated. I had many memories of Blaine and I snuggled up watching movies on their huge plasma screen television or sitting at the piano in the corner just messing around, or having Blaine serenade me. I watched as Blaine pulled one of the footstools so he would be sitting in front of me. Blaine sat in front of me and took my hands in his, gently tracing the bandages wrapped around my hands and wrists.

"Thank you for dinner," I said, breaking the awkward silence surrounding us.

Blaine just smiled at me, "It was my pleasure Kurt. I'm glad you enjoyed it."

Neither of us said anything for several more moments. I just focused on Blaine tracing my bandages, wondering how to start this horrible conversation that was inevitable.

Blaine was the first one to speak, "I guess we should talk."

"I guess we should," I replied, still looking down at my hands.

"I guess I should start otherwise we'll just be sitting here for a long time in silence," Blaine smiled sadly, his eyes full of sorrow.

I nodded, knowing that I didn't trust myself to speak. I needed to hear Blaine speak first before I could say anything at first.

Blaine took a deep breath, "Kurt... I'm so sorry. You don't know how sorry I am. I was just panicking and was worried I would lose you. I know it's stupid to break up with you if I was worried about losing you. I was panicking about long distance and I remembered what happened with that guy Chandler."

I opened my mouth to argue back but Blaine beat me to it, "I know nothing happened with you and Chandler. I know you texted him and it was just some cheesy pickup lines as a joke but it got me worried. What if you met someone who was in New York with you? What if you forgot about me? I was just freaking out and I tried to watch 'The Notebook' to help calm me down as we said our lives would be like that film and we would be together in the nursing home. This time I only got up to the part where Noah sees Allie and Lon kissing in New York. It made me realise how much it would hurt when we break up and I try to win you back, just to see you in the arms of another man. I got it into my head and I couldn't sleep. I laid awake all night just thinking things over. I came to the conclusion that it would be the best thing if I let you go. I hoped that one day we would find our way back to one another."

Blaine paused for a moment before sighing, "I hated doing it. I kept avoiding you but you saw right through me. You cornered me and I had to tell you the truth. I could see your heart breaking right in front of me and I was powerless to stop it. I had to walk away before I caved in and begged you to ignore what I was saying and take me back. It killed me, especially when I heard you crying when I left. All I wanted to do was run back to you and hold you close for the rest of our lives. I thought it was the worst moment of my life. I ran into Sam and told him what had happened. He told me I was being stupid and I didn't have anything to worry about. I told him it was for the best. When you didn't turn up to Glee club, I was worried yet slightly relieved as I knew I couldn't stand seeing you again so soon after. When we went to the auditorium and I saw you singing Kelly Clarkson's 'Cry', I lost it. I was crying hysterically. I hoped you would look up and see me but you didn't as you were lost to the music. Watching you fall to your knees with heartbreak then run away was... I can't get the image out of my head. I know I've hurt you so badly and I am so so sorry. You are the love of my life and I hate that I've hurt you. I will do everything in my power to make it up to you. Um I have a song for you. It's to show you how much I admire and love you. You're the best thing that has ever happened to me."

Blaine stood up, pushing the footstool to the side. He stepped forward then leaned down and kissed my forehead, brushing his lips over the stitches positioned there. He moved over to the piano and sat on the bench. He lifted the lid off the piano and brushed the keys of the musical instrument.

"I spent all day listening to songs that remind me of you. I love you so much and you are the most amazing person I have ever and will ever met. After we had texted and arranged for you to come here, I looked for songs to show you my love for you. I tried to find a new song that could join the list of our songs. I found it during Glee club and have been practising it before you got here. So my love, I would like to play this for you," Blaine said, sounding determined.

I just nodded and Blaine grinned at me, before starting to play. I didn't recognise the song but just sat back and waited. I watched as Blaine opened his mouth to sing.

"Every time our eyes meet
This feeling inside me
Is almost more than I can take
Baby when you touch me
I can feel how much you love me
And it just blows me away
I've never been this close to anyone or anything
I can hear your thoughts
I can see your dreams."

I just stared at Blaine as his beautiful voice filled the room. I was desperately trying not to cry.

"I don't know how you do what you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby I'm amazed by you."

It was all I had ever wanted from Blaine. I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him and had been devastated with the break up. I couldn't help but blush when Blaine lifted his head and his gaze met mine. His eyes were so full of love and I felt trapped in his gaze.

"The smell of your skin
The taste of your kiss
The way you whisper in the dark
Your hair all around me
Baby you surround me
You touch every place in my heart
Oh it feels like the first time every time
I wanna spend the whole night in your eyes."

This song was so beautiful but Blaine singing it to me just made it magical. I couldn't help myself and I slowly rose from the sofa, careful not to cause myself any pain. I walked across the room, still holding Blaine's gaze, until I stood next to the piano. Blaine moved over slightly, making sure he was careful not to play the wrong note. I slowly sat down and watched Blaine's fingers move over the keys. I looked up again and our eyes met once more.

"I don't know how you do what you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby I'm amazed by you."

I couldn't help but let out a sob at the words Blaine was singing. It was such a romantic song and it made me feel so loved by Blaine. Blaine smiled softly at me, his eyes shining with tears as he continued to sing. I couldn't feel the tears trailing down my face.

"Every little thing that you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Oh, every little thing that you do
Baby I'm amazed by you."

Blaine played the final few notes and then silence took over. I was holding a hand to my mouth, trying to stifle my sobs. Blaine was sniffing himself as he tried to hold back the tears.

"God that was so beautiful Blaine," I cried out, unable to control my emotion.

Blaine manoeuvred himself so he was straddling the piano bench and looking at me, "You are so beautiful Kurt. I meant every word I sang. I only had to play this song once before I knew it described how I felt about you. Baby I'm amazed by you."

I slowly stood up and moved away from the piano, facing away from Blaine. I heard Blaine stand up as well and I knew he was standing behind me. I couldn't take it anymore. I loved this boy more than anything in the whole world. I turned to face him and let my eyes feast on Blaine Anderson. I had always felt so lucky to be with Blaine. He was such a beautiful man, who was as sexy as hell. I loved everything about him, every single little detail. He had the most amazing personality and I was proud to call him mine. I didn't want to be apart from himself any longer.

I threw myself at Blaine, wrapping my arms around Blaine's neck and holding him to me. Blaine wrapped his arms around my waist, holding me to him but being careful enough not to cause me any pain. I rested my chin on his shoulder, just soaking up his embrace. I felt Blaine place a kiss to my shoulder before resting his chin on it. That caused a smile to spread across my face and I knew I could forgive Blaine, but I wanted him to be sure that us being together forever was what he wanted. I knew he had sung those words to me but I needed to hear it from him in his own words. I pulled back slightly so my hands were resting on his shoulder and his were resting on my waist.

I took a deep breath, "Blaine I have to know that you won't bail again. I couldn't cope if you did. You breaking up with me nearly killed me. Look I don't know if I've got into NYADA but I will be going to New York no matter what. I don't want to lose you. If you don't think we can last long distance, as you said before, you need to say now. I don't want to go to New York then a couple of weeks later find out that you don't think it'll work or that you've cheated or something like that."

Blaine moved his hands up to gently cup my face, "I would never cheat on you Kurt Hummel. I could never do something like that to you. I would rather die before I hurt you like that. I don't want to lose you either. I want you to go to New York as you deserve to go. I know I'll be here but I'll be joining you the following year. I know we can do this. I love you so much. We're it for the long haul and I want to spend the rest of my life with you by my side. I was a coward Kurt but now I'm having the courage to see that I shouldn't throw away the best thing that has happened to me because I'm scared. I know we can make it. We'll make it work because we love each other. I love you so much Kurt. I would love more than anything if you would be my boyfriend again."

I couldn't help but smile, "I love you too Blaine. Of course I'd be your boyfriend again."

Blaine's face lit up at that and he leaned in to kiss me, his hands still cupping my face. I met him halfway and our lips met in harmony. The kiss was slow and loving. I knew Blaine was trying to be careful not to help me but I didn't care. I was kissing my Blaine again and everything was perfect. I wanted this moment to last forever. I wrapped my arms around Blaine's waist and pulled him closer to me as one of his hands went into my hair. I was conscious of how close his hand was to the cut at the back of my head but I tried to ignore it. All I was focused on was how perfect it felt to be kissing Blaine again. I just wanted to focus on the two of us, rather than talk about what had happened to me which I knew was inevitable. Once again I pushed it to the back of my mind and the thought I allowed myself to think was how in love with Blaine Anderson I was.
