The week went by just as any normal week would have. No one called Kurt out, no one looked at him differently for dating Blaine. Everything was normal, except for one thing, the entire student body had shunned Rachel. It was like she had the plague and no one wanted to be in the same room as her. Of course Kurt was still upset and hurt over what she'd done, but he wasn't sure if he liked the way Rachel was being treated by the rest of the school.

It was Sunday night, the night before the new research class was scheduled to begin, and Kurt was at Blaine's. He had to leave in an hour to make it home, but at the moment he and Blaine were wrapped up in a pile of blankets on the couch watching Breakfast at Tiffany's.

"Blaine, can I talk to you for a second?" Kurt spoke up, he wanted to talk to Blaine about the Rachel thing.

"Sure honey, what's on your mind." Blaine paused the movie and directed his attention to Kurt.

"I-it's Rachel. I knoe what she did was not fair and very uncalled for, but the entire school has been treating her like she's diseased and I don't know if I like that."

Blaine took in the seriousness and sadness on Kurt's face and could see that this was really bothering him. "She was- is, your best friend Kurt, no matter what she's done to us, she's still the same girl you had sleepovers with and talked about boys and musicals and New York."

"Part of me wants to help her, reach out and help her, but then I remember wha she did, a-and I get so angry. She ruined your career Blaine, ruined it! How can I be friends with someone who ruined my boyfriend's career?"

"You're just not ready. Trust me, the day will come when you're ready to forgive her. Just don't try to force it, saying you forgive her and not meaning it could be worse than not saying anything at all."

"I-I- you're right. I just wish everyone else would stop being so mean to her, it's none of their business. They're just upset because their favorite teacher got fired. I'm upset because my boyfriend lost his job and could lose his apartment, and-"

"Hey, hey, no. Kurt stop. Please don't, it's going to be okay. I'm going to be okay." Blaine took Kurt's face in his hands.

"It's not fair Blaine, it's not fair."

"I know sweetie, I know, but that's life. I'm going to be fine, you're going to be fine, we're going to be fine. Okay?"

"O-okay." Kurt nodded his head the best he could with Blaine's hands holding his face.

"Good. Now, let's talk about something else. I know, let's talk about your NYADA application. Have you heard anything?"

"No, not yet, but it's a bit early to be expecting anything."

"Hmm, okay then. Have you tried applying anywhere else?" 

"No. Should I?" Kurt's eyes widened. He hadn't really thought about college since he sent in his NYADA application. 

"Well, it wouldn't hurt, it's good to have-"

"Blaine, w-what's going to happen when I graduate and move to New York? What's going to happen to us? I-I can't stay in Lima, I just can't, but I don't want to lose you." It all hit Kurt so suddenly. He'd graduate in a few months and move to New York, NYADA or not, but what about Blaine?

"Honey, calm down, we'll be fine, I promise. You're going to graduate and move to New York, just like you planned. I wouldn't ask you to stay in Lima. We'll figure everything out later, but no matter what happens, just remember, I love you and nothing, absolutely nothing, is going to stop me from spending the rest of my life with you." Blaine said seriously.

"Y-you want to spend the rest of your life with me? B-but I'm just a- I'm a teenager, you're an adult. Why-"

"Don't start questioning this now. Please don't do that. I don't care how old you are, your age isn't an issue for me. I love you, not your age, you're not a teenager to me Kurt, your the man I want to be with for the rest of my life. We did say forever."

"Y-yeah, I guess we did, I just didn't think-"

"You know that I'm not going to force you to stay with me right? That's not what I meant. If at any point in our relationship, you want out-"

"I won't. I love you Blaine, I love you more than I ever could have imagined, and I couldn't imagine spending the rest of my life without you. I know I'm young and you're my first, well, everything, but I know how I feel."

"God Kurt, I love you so much." Blaine whispered as he leaned in to kiss Kurt.

"B-Blaine, I-I have to go. Curfew." Kurt whimpered, he wanted nothing more than to stay here with Blaine, but he was still under his dad's rules and that meant an 11:00 curfew.

"O-okay. I-I- sorry." Blaine laughed as he pulled away.

"Don't apologize. I'd stay if I could."

"One day, one day we'll have our own place, no cerfew, just us." Blaine promised as he walked Kurt out.

"I can't wait." Kurt smiled and leaned in for one more quick kiss.

"I love you Kurt."

"I love you too Blaine. I'll be over tomorrow after school."

"Okay, I'll be here." Blaine stepped back and walked up the steps to his apartment. When he stepped inside he saw his phone laying in the kitchen counter, lighting up with a call. "Hello?"

"Hey Blaine it's Wes, got some time?"
