Of course he wanted to see him, but he just didn't want to tell him... he couldn't tell him that he was leaving tomorrow, he just couldn't do it.

How could he tell Blaine, that after two straight weeks of seeing him every single day, that he was never going to see him again?

He sat down in the sand, sighing and allowing himself to fall back. He looked up at the sky, trying to figure out what to do.

As he was laying there, he suddenly felt pressure on his chest and stomach, like there was a weight there... and when he glanced away from the sky, he wasn't at all surprised by who he saw.

"Hi!"

Kurt couldn't help but smile. "Hi, any particular reason you're on top of me?"

"I'm cuddling with you."

"Really?"

"Yeah. Merpeople do that all the time, but I don't really have anyone to cuddle with, and I wasn't sure if I could cuddle with you, cause I didn't know if humans do that, but then when you brought Finn and Rachel and they spent the whole day cuddling while we were talking I knew it was okay."

"Well, not that I don't find it incredibly sweet that you want to cuddle with me, but... humans really only cuddle with whoever they're dating, or whoever they're married to, not with friends."

"Oh... so do you want me to move?"

"No, it's fine, you can stay."

Blaine smiled and rested his chin on the back of his hands, the palms of his hands resting on Kurt's chest. "What are you thinking about?"

"You don't want to know."

"Is something wrong?"

"Blaine..."

"Something is wrong... what is it?"

"It's just..."

"Kurt, you know you can tell me anything."

"That's just it, I have something I have to tell you and I don't know how you're going to take it."

"It can't be that bad, just tell me."

"Blaine, I'm leaving."

Blaine laughed.

Well, that was not the reaction he expected...

"I know!"

"You... you do?"

"Sure! Of course I do! How could I not?"

"And... you're okay with it?" Kurt asked, a little hurt by the fact that Blaine was taking this so well. He though Blaine would miss him.

"Why wouldn't I be? You do it every day. You leave, and then the next day you come back." Blaine said with an innocent smile.

Oh. He didn't get it.

"No, Blaine, I mean that I'm leaving, for real... I'm not coming back this time."

Blaine's face fell and he pushed himself off of Kurt so he could sit up.

"Blaine?"

"What do you mean you're not coming back this time?"

"Blaine... I-" Kurt started, sitting up and turning to face him.

"No, what do you mean by that? You always come back."

"I'm sorry, but..."

"You've never not come back before, why are you leaving for good?"

"I don't want to leave for good..."

"Then why are you?" Blaine shouted, his eyes filling with tears. "I- I don't understand..."

"Blaine I don't live here, my home is really far away from the ocean, I just came here for a visit, a two week visit, and those two weeks are up. I'm sorry, I-"

"Why didn't you ever tell me? Why did you let me think you would be here forever?"

"I didn't mean to, Blaine. I didn't even remember that we were leaving until Finn brought it up."

"So if Finn hadn't said anything, you could've stayed?"

"No, this isn't Finn's fault, it isn't anybody's fault, I was always leaving it's just... I became so close to you that I forgot that this wasn't going to last forever."

Blaine looked down at his fin. "How far away are you going?"

"Far."

"Can I come?"

"Blaine..."

"I wanna come! I wanna go with you!"

"Blaine, you can't..."

"But I want to!"

"You can't, you have a life here, you have family and friends, I can't take you away from that..."

"I don't have any friends! You're my only friend, Kurt, I don't want you to go away!"

Kurt blinked a few times, surprised. "Blaine..."

"I don't have family either, at least not a family that cares about me, you're all I've got, Kurt, you're the only person who cares about me. I don't want to lose you, if I lose you, I lose everything." He said softly. "I don't want to be alone... I don't want to be without you..."

"Oh, Blaine... I'm so sorry, I really wish there was something I could do."

"Take me with you."

"I can't, there would be no place for you to live."

"But..."

"It's not like I can just keep you in a bath tub for the rest of your life, Blaine, I can't take you with me."

"I don't know what that is, but I'll live in it if I get to be with you."

Kurt could feel his eyes burning with tears. "Blaine, you're making this so much harder than it needs to be. There's nothing we can do."

"So... it's really goodbye?"

"Yeah... it's really goodbye."

"But... goodbye means forever."

"I'm sorry, Blaine. I really am."

Blaine bit his lip. "When are you leaving forever?"

"Tomorrow night."

"So you'll still be here tomorrow morning?"

"Um, yeah, why?"

"Promise me that you'll come say goodbye tomorrow morning."

"But, Blaine... why-"

"Promise! You have to promise! You have to come back tomorrow morning, okay?"

"Okay, I'll come back tomorrow morning."

"I have to go."

"Go? But it's our last day together, where are you going?"

"I'll explain everything tomorrow morning, you'll be here, right?"

"I said I would, Blaine, I'd never break a promise."

"Okay, I'll see you then! Don't forget!"

"I won't, I'll be here." Kurt said as Blaine swam off. Completely confused.

Where in the world was he going?

...............................................................................................................................................................................................................

The next morning as Finn, Rachel, and Mercedes packed their things, Kurt left the hotel room. He had made sure to pack everything last night so that he would have the entire morning free to spend with Blaine.

He had seen how important it was to Blaine that he come today, and he really wanted to see Blaine one last time, especially after how Blaine reacted yesterday.

Part of him had seriously considered not showing up. It might be too painful to have to really say goodbye.

But he couldn't leave things the way they were, not after seeing how upset Blaine got, and not after promising to come back... he couldn't break a promise like that.

He climbed over the rocks for the last time, but when he got to the other side, he was completely shocked by what he saw.

It was as if he was back in time or something. There was Blaine completely tangled up in the fishing net. He almost rushed to help him, to question how he had managed to get tangled up in that thing again...

But when he looked closer he realized, Blaine wasn't caught in it, he was in the process of wrapping it around himself.

Why would Blaine be wrapping a fishing net, something he was obviously afraid of, around himself?

He'd been so caught up with that, he hadn't noticed Blaine's hair. It was shorter. Much shorter.

The long curls that normally dangled in his face were now gone. He couldn't decide which look he liked better. He missed those long beautiful curls, but think of all the styling possibilities with this hair cut, not that a merman needed to be using hair gel...

But this way, it was so much easier to see those big beautiful brown eyes that Blaine had.

But that was when he noticed the biggest change of all, Blaine's fin.

It was gone.

In it's place... legs.

Kurt was pretty sure his jaw was literally on the floor. How did... what on Earth...

"Blaine?" He watched as Blaine's head turned and he instantly smiled and pointed to his legs as if he couldn't have possibly been more proud of anything else in his entire life.

He then grabbed at the fishing net that he had wrapped all over himself, moving his mouth as if he were speaking but no sound came out, though it was more than obvious what he was trying to say...

"You made clothes?" Blaine nodded and mouthed something else. "Fabulous? Yeah... yeah, Blaine, they look very fabulous..." Kurt said as he tried to hide his shock. "How on Earth did you... wait... what happened to your voice?"

Blaine opened his mouth to speak again, but upon realizing that no sound would come out, he shut it and made a confused face as if he were trying to think of how to communicate.

Oh no...

No.

No way...

"Blaine, you didn't..."

Blaine smiled and nodded... apparently he did.

"You went to a sea witch?"

Another nod.

"You traded your hair... and loaned your voice..."

The most energetic nod yet.

"Oh, Blaine..." Kurt shook his head. "Why would you do something so stupid?"

Blaine's face fell into complete confusion. It was more than obvious that he thought he'd done a good thing.

"Blaine why would you give away your voice? Why would you think that you needed legs?"

Blaine pointed to Kurt.

"Me? Oh my gosh, you did this so you could come home with me?"

Blaine nodded, smiling again.

"Blaine, you shouldn't have done that, I told you, you can't come with me!"

Blaine frowned, and tears started filling his eyes.

"No! No, it's not that I don't want you to come with me, I do... it's just... you belong here, Blaine."

Blaine sniffled, and shook his head. Kurt sighed.

"Well, I guess you don't anymore." He mumbled. "Alright, I suppose we don't have a choice... you're going to have to come with me, I'm certainly not leaving you here by yourself... especially when you're dressed like that..." Kurt stated, standing himself up. "Can you stand up?"

Blaine nodded and attempted to copy Kurt, but the second he managed standing his legs shook and he fell over, Kurt having to grab onto him so that he wouldn't fall to the ground.

"Okay, that's a no... I'm going to have to help you back to the hotel." Kurt said, trying to help Blaine balance.

Oh Blaine... what had he done?
