"Hey!" Wes called across the parking lot waving as Santana and Kurt stepped out of the black Navigator that had just parked. They had driven up to Dalton together straight after school, after dropping Santana's car back at her house on their way.
"Hey Wes." Kurt replied smiling as they made their way over to him.
"Let's get inside, and then you can tell David and I how Blainers is doing." Wes said as he lead them through the main entrance ad towards the senior commons.
Upon arriving there, Kurt was pulled into a bone crushing hug by David, who upon releasing him then pulled Santana in for an equally as powerful one.
"Not that we didn't appreciate the hugs, but should we get to work?" Santana said quirking and eyebrow at David.
"We should, but even more importantly, how's Blaine doing?" David asked concern evident in his voice. "He hasn't talked much when we've called him, but when he does, I don't know how to describe it. It's like his spark has gone. Does that make any sense?" he asked, his Gaze shifting between both Kurt and Santana.
"I know what you mean," Kurt sighed, "He's coping at the moment; he's finally letting people in though. So that's a good sign I think. But he still has trouble sleeping."
"And with crowds" Santana cut in.
"But even though he still isn't sleeping great he's a little less jumpy, not a lot but it's something." Kurt sighed looking at the two warblers.
"But he has a new friend now, doesn't he Kurt?" Santana said winking at Kurt as she pulled her phone from her jacket pocket. "Look." she said landing on the picture of Blaine lying in the middle of the rug with Luna lying on his chest. "Her name's Luna, and if you ask me I think we should all be threatened by her. He only left her completely on her own once the whole of today." Santana said before pocketing her phone again.
"Now. We need to finish getting organised. I spoke with Cristina, and after his slight breakdown on Tuesday they decided it's best for Blaine to wait until Monday to start school again. That gives us a little longer than we thought, but we can always stick to the deadline of Friday and I'll find a way to get him here without figuring out where we're going."
"That might be the better idea seeing as none of us know how he'll feel by the end of Monday." Wes chipped in, jotting down notes as Kurt spoke in a small black notebook he had pulled out without any of them noticing.
"Ok the New Directions are set with our song choice, and Santana and I have also sorted out our parts for the number with you, we just need to go over final placements here and we should be ready." Kurt said looking at Santana, who nodded in confirmation, as he spoke.
"Ok that's great. Have you got your parts of the collaboration down?" Wes asked looking up from his notes, and what appeared to be a checklist.

...

An hour later Kurt's phone buzzed with a text from Mercedes, letting him know that the rest of the New Directions we're beginning to arrive for the run through.

...

Later that evening Blaine checked his phone for any new messages, for what felt like the millionth time. He smiled to himself as the phone buzzed in his hand.

From: Kurt
Hey I'm on my way, I can't stay for long but I want to meet this new friend of yours ;) love you ---Kurt xx

Blaine smiled and scooped up his cat from where she had been curled up next to him, an sat with her on his lap as he mindlessly flipped through television channels until Kurt arrived.

About half an hour later there was a quiet knock at the door which pulled Blaine's attention away from the repeat of Teen Mom which had been on MTV.
"Come in." he called looking at the door, his face breaking into a smile as Kurt entered.
"Hello," Kurt smiled as he sat next to Blaine on the bed, leaning in to place a kiss in his lips.
"Hi” Blaine smiled leaning in for another soft kiss.
Kurt pulled back smiling, "You look better," he said his fingers lightly tracing the bags beneath Blaine's eyes. "And who's this adorable little cat?" Kurt asked moving to stroke Luna who had shifted in Blaine's lap.
"Kurt Hummel, meet Luna." Blaine said with a smile. Kurt chuckled in response, his gaze lifting back up to Blaine's face, taking in the gentle smile that was gracing his features.
Luna made a noise of protest as Kurt's hand stilled from where it was striking her, she nudged his hand with her hard trying to get his attention, before getting up of Blaine's lap, and almost falling off the bed as she left the room to look for some attention.

"I love you." Kurt breathed quietly, his eyes locking with Blaine's. The corners of Blaine's mouth twitched up further at Kurt's words.
"I love you too," he smiled in reply before leaning in to kiss Kurt. Kurt hummed happily into the kiss, bringing his hand up to the back of Blaine's neck to deepen it. After a while they pulled apart, cheeks slightly flushed, both boys smiling happily at each other. They sat there, Teen Mom playing quietly in the television in the background, their eyes fixed together in silent conversation, their fingers intertwined and sharing soft kisses every so often until Kurt had to get home.

After Kurt left, Blaine quickly hopped in the shower and put his pyjamas on before getting into bed to await Kurt's phone call.
At exactly half past ten, his phone rang.
"Hello again," he answered quietly, as he gently stroked Luna who had found her way back into his room while he was showering.
"I really really love you, you know that right Blaine?" Kurt replied just as quietly, hearing Blaine hum in response, "You're tired aren't you?" Kurt asked as he heard Blaine yawn over the phone.
"Yeah, I am." Blaine sighed, his eyebrows quirking into a slight frown. "Kurt?" he asked tentatively, "Do you mind singing to me again?" he asked after a slight pause.
"Of course, would you like anything in particular?" Kurt replied, is mind skimming through songs he could sing.
"Anything," Blaine replied as he bit back a yawn.
"Ok," Kurt said deciding on a song, "Are you comfortable?" he asked, hearing Blaine hum in reply.

Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are.
I had to find you, tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart.
Tell me your secrets, and ask me your questions
Oh let's go back to the start.
Running in circles, coming up tails
Heads on a science apart.

Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Oh, take me back to the start.

I was just guessing at numbers and figures
Pulling the puzzles apart
Questions of science, science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart
And tell me you love me, come back and haunt me
Oh and I rush to the start
Running in circles, chasing our tails
Coming back as we are

Nobody said it was easy
Oh it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard
I'm going back to the start

The next two days passed in the same manner, with either Kurt, Santana or the both of them visiting Blaine before and after school, so by Friday morning Blaine didn't feel so alone, and with Kurt's help he was getting at least a couple hours of sleep a night.
...

"Good Morning!" Kurt said cheerfully as he followed Mr Anderson into the kitchen, to where Blaine was sat eating a slice of toast.
"Someone's happy this morning" Blaine commented with a smile as Kurt kissed him on the cheek.
"Well why wouldn't I be, it's a Friday, and you're coming over for Friday night dinner then sleeping over." Kurt replied happily.
"Ah I knew there was something I was forgetting." Blaine replied jokingly as Kurt wrapped his arms around Blaine's chest ad rested his head on his shoulder.
"Well just be ready to leave at two, school finishes early and I have a surprise for you ok?" Kurt asked as he moved to take the chair next to Blaine.
"A surprise? What is it?" Blaine asked sceptically.
"Nothing bad I promise, but I'd better be going, I can't be late for school." Kurt said kissing Blaine, making a small noise of surprise when Blaine deepened the kiss.
"Whoa, boys! I'm still in the room!" Mrs Anderson said, laughing as the immediately broke apart, Kurt's cheeks flushing with colour.

"I'll see you to the door." Blaine said taking Kurt's hand a leading him out of the kitchen. "I love you, ands I'll see you later." Blaine said leaning in and giving Kurt and chaste kiss this time.
"I love you too, I'll be here just after two, and be ready to leave!" Kurt replied pecking Blaine on the lips again before walking out to his car.

When he arrived at school he found Santana waiting by his locker glaring at her phone in her hands.
"I swear to God, after this evening is over I am going to kill Wes." She growled at Kurt as he approached.
"He's been texting you pretty much 24/7 since we last saw them too then?" Kurt asked laughing lightly. "It's cute." Kurt commented, "He wants everything to be perfect for Blaine." He smiled.
"I know it's because he cares about Blaine, but I swear, if I get one more text from him I will steal his gravel, chop it up and send it to him in pieces." She replied seriously, making Kurt laugh as she glared at her phone as it buzzed with a message before shoving it into her bag without reading it.

To: Wes
If you don't stop texting Santana she WILL kill you! ---Kurt

He sent putting his phone back into his pocket after sending the text and heading to class with Santana.

...

"Kurt!" Blaine whined from the passenger seat. "Tell me where we're going!" he said petulantly, pouting at Kurt from beneath the blindfold Kurt had convinced him to wear.
"Nope." Kurt replied laughing as he caught sight of Blaine's pout out of the corner of his eye. "We're nearly there now anyway." Kurt said turning onto the road that lead towards Dalton.
"Are you sure we're not getting me another cat?" Blaine asked hopefully from his seat next to Kurt.
"As I told you the last twenty times you asked, no we are not getting you another cat." Kurt replied rolling his eyes. Blaine had been trying to find out where Kurt was taking him since they had left his house over an hour ago.
"Okay, keep your eyes closed." Kurt said as he parked the car and turned off the engine.
"I'm wearing a blindfold." Blaine reminded him.
"Yes, but I know you, you'll find a way to cheat and guess where we are." Kurt said after opening Blaine's door and helping him to his feet. "I've got you, just keep hold of my hands ok?" Kurt said taking one of Blaine's hands and waving to Santana who had the main doors open before taking Blaine's other hand.

After slowly making their way to the auditorium in Dalton, Kurt sat Blaine down in a chair in the centre of the front row, and told him to remove the blindfold in exactly fifteen seconds.
"Ten... Nine... Eight... Seven... Six... Five... Four... Three... Two... One." Blaine counted slowly, before removing the blindfold from over his eyes, revealing the Warblers gathered on the stage in front of him.

"Kurt?" Blaine asked in confusion as Kurt gave his hand a squeeze nodding towards the stage whilst biting back a smile at the confused look on his boyfriend’s face.
"You didn't think the New Directions were the only ones who cared about you now did you Blaine?" Wes asked from his position centre stage. Before Blaine could reply, the Warblers were in formation harmonising quietly as Wes and David stepped forward and began to sing.

You, you're such a big star to me,
You're everything I wanna be,
But you're stuck in a hole and I want you to get out.

The warblers formed a triangle, with Wes and David at the front, the others harmonising in the background. Blaine could feel tears begin to prickle in his eyes as he watched two of his closest friends singing to him from the stage.

I don't know what there is to see,
But I know it's time for you to leave,
We're all just pushing along,
Trying to figure it out, out, out.

All your anticipation pulls you down,
When you can have it all,
You can have it all.

So come on, get it on
Don't know what you're waiting for
Your time is coming don't be late, hey hey,
So come on.
See the light on your face,
Let it shine
Just let it shine
Let it shine.

Kurt gave Blaine’s hand another affectionate squeeze as a tear rolled down Blaine’s cheek, as he looked towards the stage with a watery smile. Feeling Kurt’s grip on his hand tighten, Blaine looked over to him.
“I love you” Blaine mouthed to him.
“I love you too. Always.” Kurt mouthed back, placing a kiss on Blaine’s hand.

Stop being so hard on yourself,
It's not good for your health,
I know that you can change,
So clear your head and come round.

Wes and David stared straight into Blaine’s eyes as they sang, trying to convey the message to him that they were there for him, and he didn’t have to put on his ‘tough man’ facade around them.

You only have to open your eyes,
You might just get a big surprise,
And it may feel good
And you might want to smile, smile, smile.

Don't you let your demons pull you down
'Cause you can have it all,
You can have it all.

The warblers separated into two groups, slowly making their way down the stairs at the sides of the stage and towards Blaine and Kurt.

Hey, let me know you,
You're all that matters to me.
Hey let me show you,
You're all that matters to me.

So come on, get it on
Don't know what you're waiting for
Your time is coming don't be late, hey hey.
So come on.
See the light on your face,
Let it shine
Just let it shine
Let it shine.

The warblers reconvened as a group in front of the other two boys, Blaine now with tear tracks down his cheeks and Kurt blinking furiously to hold his back.

Hey let me love you
You're all that matters to me
Hey so come on yeah
Shine all your light over me

The harmonizing faded out, and Wes and David pulled Blaine out of his seat and into a hug.
