Kurt laid in bed unable to sleep, but unlike the weeks behind him this time it wasnt fear of nightmares that kept him awake. The dreams and images of Blaine hurt and possibly dying were far from his mind and it was his sheer happiness that kept him from drifting off. Blaine didnt seem to have the same problem.

Laying next to him, breathing deeply with lips parted and face relaxed was the man Kurt loved. Kurt smiled and rolled onto this side to curl his body in closer to Blaines, nuzzling his face in the curve of Blaines neck and breathing him in. A part of Kurt had doubted hed ever really see Blaine again, hed done everything he could to silence that dreadful little voice inside of him, but he had been so scared. And now, now Blaine was here. They were both out of Folaigh and they had the freedom to spend their lives together.

Kurt smiled and pressed a soft kiss to Blaines neck. After their unexpected reunion at the pub Kurt had asked for the rest of the evening off. Well, more like grabbed Blaines hand and pulled him out front to tell Mr. Murphy hed be taking some time off and then kept walking before his boss could even say anything. Not that he would have said no anyway.

Kurt had met Blaines brother who was somehow nothing like what he expected and yet exactly right. He was tall and blue eyed, but when he smiled he could see Coopers resemblance to Blaine. They both seemed to be naturally cheerful people and Kurt immediately liked him.

Everything had been a whirlwind after that. Dinner with Burt and Quinn, the five of them talking and catching up and getting to know each other. Kurt didnt talk that much actually, he just kept Blaines hand in his own letting the conversation swirl around him while sharing blushes and sweet glances with Blaine. All evening he couldnt keep his heart from fluttering in his chest; how had he ended up with everything he had wanted? Kurt couldnt believe how lucky he was.

After dinner Cooper said something about him getting his own hotel room so the lovebirds" could have some time together. Cooper was anything but subtle and Kurt had blushed up to his ears, but he was grateful all the same. As much as he loved seeing his family with Blaines family what he really wanted was some time with just Blaine. Blaine seemed to have the same idea because as soon as they were in the hotel room together Blaine had grabbed both of Kurts hands and pulled him forward into a kiss.

"God I missed you." Blaine said, his lips a hot press against Kurts skin. Kurt had wanted to say something about how hed missed Blaine and how they were meant to be together but as Blaines lips move down to lovingly mark Kurts neck there was very little Kurt could do but just follow Blaine to the bed where they both tumbled down, their bodies needing to be as close to each other as possible.

They quickly undressed one another during which Kurt found his voice enough to let out breathy, "I love yous" and "Im never leaving you." Blaine for his part was able to master speaking enough to tell Kurt that he was staying in Ireland with Kurt for as long as Kurt wanted him here. Kurt hadnt thought much about it at the time, not with Blaines naked skin against his own and his hands on his body and his lips locking against Kurts lips.

They had made love slow and sweet and Kurts body was lax and warm afterwards. Blaine had drifted off to sleep and Kurt remained awake next to him, his hands touching the heat of Blaines skin and not allowing himself to think of how cold and pale Blaine had been the last time Kurt had seen him.

He let his hand softly trail down Blaines chest until he moved his fingers to Blaines side and felt the rough, uneven rise of Blaines scar. Blaine had his sheets pulled down to his waist and Kurt sat up on his side to get a look at his bullet wound. It wasnt as bad as expected, much better than Kurt would have imagined given the seriousness of Blaines injury, still it hurt for Kurt to see it.

Not because it was ugly, not because Kurt thought it in anyway took away from Blaines beauty, but because it was a reminder of how close Kurt had been to losing him, how close the world had come to losing Blaine Anderson and what a tragedy it would have been. Kurt drew in a broken breath and tried to clear the worries from mind. Blaine was here, and alive and well and Kurt didnt need to sink back into that dark time hed survived without Blaine. He let his fingers trail across the wound, blue light shining from them as Kurt tried to heal the scar.

It didnt do any good; this was something Kurt couldnt heal.

"Wha you doing?" Blaine asked sleepily his eyes blinking open.

"Sorry." Kurt whispered. "I didnt mean to wake you."

Blaine shook his head and sat up a little. "No its okay. You looked worried though."

He reached for Kurt, pulling him in until Kurt rested his head against Blaines chest letting out a happy sigh. "I was trying to heal your scar, but I cant."

Kurt felt rather than saw Blaine shrug underneath him.

"I dont care about the scar. Actually Ive been glad to have it these past months without you."

"Why?" Kurt asked bunching up his brows in disbelief as he tipped his head up to try and look at Blaines face.

"Because for a long time I still had your magic in me, and I could feel it the most there where Id been shot. It wasnt the same as having you, but… it was something of you that was with me."

Kurt sat up and placed a kiss to Blaines cheek. "Well now Im with you." He said with a smile not liking the forlorn tone Blaines voice had slipped into.

"Yes. You are." Blaines eyes met Kurts, filled with so much devotion it made Kurt shiver. "I love you." Blaine said even though hed said it countless times this evening.

"I love you too." Kurt traced Blaines face with his finger tips and smiled at him. "What did you mean you were going to stay in Ireland?" Kurt asked thinking back to Blaines earlier promise.

"I want to be with you." Blaine answered simply.

"Well I want to be with you too, but dont you have school back in America?"

"Ill take the rest of the year off and hopefully enroll again next semester, or find a school here if you want to stay in Ireland."

Kurt shook his head quickly. "You cant do that."

"Why not?"

"Because you already offered to give up everything for me once and now you dont have too. I want to go to New York."

"Are you sure?"

Kurt smiled, his heart thudding pleasantly in his chest at Blaines willingness to do whatever he had to do to keep them together. Blaine had made so many sacrifices for him, but he couldnt let him make another, not this, not giving up school when he was so close to finishing. "Ill find a way to America. I need a passport? And a visa? Ive been looking it into it and Im not sure how to get those things when… I dont really exist in this time, but there has to be a way. Right?"

Blaine smiled, his eyes twinkling, "I can talk to Cooper, he might have an idea… it might not be completely legal…"

Kurt laughed. "I like your brother."

"He has been here for me these past few months, and I have you to thank for that. Because of you I wanted to give him a chance."

Kurt smiled softly and then leaned down to kiss Blaine again; they broke apart both of them yawning and then laughing. Kurt settled down again next to Blaine wrapping his arms around him. "It will work out." He said tiredly, "Weve been though too much to let anything stand in our way now. Ill find a way to New York."

"Mmmm." Blaine hummed, barely sounding awake. "What about Folaigh? Arent you going to miss your home?"

"Folaigh will be back in ten years, maybe more people will choose to leave, maybe Ill come back and visit it, Id like to see Mercedes. But Blaine I… it sounds silly, but youre my home. Im happy if Im with you."

"Thats not silly." Blaine said sweetly and yawned, "Thats how I feel about you."

A moment later Blaines breathing deepened as he fell back to sleep. Kurt laid his head down on Blaines chest hearing his heart beat and letting their bodies meld together as sleep finally took over. Kurts last thought as he drifted off was how happy and how lucky he was and how his life felt like a fairytale.
