Authors Note: Hey guys :) if you're reading this - Thanks for having the intention to read my story :D This is my first fanfic and normally I dont write stuff but after reading so many fanfics, I really felt the need to write my own so here it is :) I hope you guys like it and I hope I can prove to you guys and my English Teacher that I didnt get Double A in English Language&Literature for nothing :)

Disclaimer - I dont own Glee or any of the Characters/Places. If I did own Glee, I wouldn't be as mean as Ryan Murphy and I'd make them all the new Cullens - frozen at 17 and NEVER allowed to graduate :D]

Oh before i forget - The education stuff in the first bit (Blaine being at Uni and Kurt taking a year off) - its not that important tbh, i just needed to think of a way I could keep Kurt in Lima for the purpose of the story (just for a while ;D) and I knew I always wanted Blaine to be a year older so I just had to think of something he could have been doing for the past year :)

Anyways - enjoyy and review please(a) :)

Just twenty four hours ago, everything had been perfect. Everything in the world was in order. Blaine Anderson counted himself as the luckiest guy on earth. He had the most perfect boyfriend he could have ever imagined being with. He had been with Kurt Hummel for nearing 18 months now and although it took him a stupid amount of months to realise that his best friend, the boy he spent every minute of every day with, the person right in front of him all that time was really that one special person he'd been looking for so long, since that momentous day in the Dalton Academy common room, their relationship had gone from strength to strength with every sign of affection signalling various "Aww's" and "Woo's" from their friends because even if Blaine hadn't known it, both his and Kurts friends could see a mile off that the two boys were made for each other. Blaine, being a year older had moved out of Ohio just a year ago, choosing to study at Michigan State University for a degree in English with Music. There's no doubt that he was terrified that by moving over 100 miles away, his relationship with Kurt would eventually start to show cracks. Michigan State had been his dream for so long but so had being with Kurt - finding love had been his dream too and no matter how determined he was to make it work, even he knew that sometimes long distance relationships just didn't work. But if anything, it made their relationship stronger.

With every visit, every ounce of love they had for each other was poured into every kiss they shared. Each hug exuded more desperation and passion then the two boys could muster together, pulling each other so close to the other that they could have easily been conjoined. Each look was more longing and loving. Each touch was more tender - Everything was just more. Kurt had just graduated from William McKinley High School and had decided to take a year out from his studies - Choosing to study Fashion design and merchandising was a no brainier - that part was simple. Where to go however, wasn't. New York had been Kurts dream for as long as he could remember, but just like Blaine, finding love had been his dream too. The memories of his first few years of High school, although now a distant memory, were still a painful one to look back on. Although he was surrounded by love and support and most importantly, acceptance from his amazing Dad and recently the addition of an amazing Step mum, brother and incredible friends, sometimes, Kurt had never felt more alone. In the choir room surrounded by all of his friends finding love with each other(Finn and Rachel, Sam and Quinn, Tina and Mike, Even Lauren had Puck!) He wondered if he would ever find that acceptance and love he truly longed and find that one special person we all dream of finding.

"Excuse me, erm hi, can I ask you a question, I'm new Here"

"My names Blaine"

"Kurt".

That day marked the beginning of something special. Kurt had found Blaine and Blaine had found Kurt - they had found what they had both been looking for in each other. So choosing to either chase his dream or follow his heart was a decision not to be made lightly and definitely not one to be rushed. But literally in seconds, with a few simple words, everything had changed and somehow, choosing where to study became such a fairly simple issue compared to the one Kurt was now faced with. The two boys lay entangled in one another on the bed, their tear stained cheeks visible in the bright, white lights around them that refused to dim. The constant beeping noise from the machines continuously ringed in their ears. Blaines arm was protectively wrapped around Kurt, who had nuzzled himself into Blaines chest. Without Blaine having to speak a single word, the protective arm around his boyfriend spoke a thousand words; "I'll be here to protect you. I wont let anything happen to you. As long as we're together, we'll fight this. We can get through this - we WILL get through this". The younger boy had been sleeping for a few hours now and as much as Blaine wanted to sleep too, his eyes and body failed to agree with him. But then again, he knew he wouldn't be able to sleep despite how much he wanted to. But just for a few hours, he wanted to forget everything about this day - the day both of their lives changed.

When he looked back, the signs had been deciding to make appearances in Kurts daily life for a while now but he honestly thought it was nothing. They both did.

1 Week ago

The two boys were sat in The Lima Bean one Saturday morning marvelling joyfully in the familiarity of ordering a Medium Drip and a Grande Non fat mocha and being able to simply just spend some much needed quality time together, just like they used to in School. Kurt was graduating from McKinley on the Wednesday so of course Blaine had come down from Michigan to support his boyfriend. Exams had finished but he now had the tedious job of packing up his dorm room to look forward to.

Since his senior year, his parents had refused to accept him as a part of their life whilst he was dating Kurt so Blaine didn't really feel like he had a home to call his own when he was outside of School. He continued to live at Dalton as his father continued to pay the tuition - he also "generously" set up a savings account with a substantial amount of money in for Blaine to be able to go to College because as his father saw it "No matter what your so called "lifestyle choices" are, I still want to know we provided you with the means to get the best education possible but while your with "that boy" I don't want to see you again". His parents hardly accepted him as gay so when he announced that he was dating Kurt, well that was the cherry on top for them. So Blaine had been forced to spend the summer before College with David's family. He'd been best friends with David (and Wes) since he transferred to Dalton and they were both going to the same College in September so David insisted he stay with him - his family loved Blaine too so there was no problem. Of course he would have loved to stay with Kurt but he felt that might be a step too soon in their relationship and he wasn't prepared to do anything that could possibly jeopardise what they have.

The conversation topics in the coffee shop varied from Blaines exams, to Kurts exams, to the latest drama in the soap opera that was Finn and Rachel's 'relationship' that was on and off more times than a light bulb down to the Graduation attire where Kurt remarked how the hat would ruin his hair - totally unacceptable in is eyes but Blaine couldn't help but chuckle at how adorable his boyfriend was. His hand reached across the table and taking Kurts hand in his, he reaffirmed his biast view that Kurt would look amazing on Wednesday - even with the hat in tow.

"Kurt what's that"

"Hm?"

"Babe you have a bruise on your arm." His hazel eyes looked lovingly worried at the younger boy whilst absentmindedly stroking the bruise with his thumb, rubbing circles into it every now and again. "What happened?"

They both stared at the purple discolouration that looked out of place against Kurts smooth, pale complexion

"I, erm, I honestly don't know. I must've hit my arm against my bedside table in my sleep or something. Its probably nothing." Kurt shrugged the matter off. He was baffled by the mark as much as Blaine but didn't fret on the matter for too long. He blinked slowly and raised his free hand to his forehead, rubbing it lethargically. This didn't go unnoticed by his boyfriend who indulged in a sip of his Medium Drip.

"You look tired"

"Yeah I've kind of been feeling it recently. Its just in the last couple of weeks as well. I mean I've been getting my full 10 hours which I require if I'm to keep up this flawless complexion" He affirmed proudly pointing to his beaming face which Blaine couldn't help but smirk at. "Its probably the stress of finals and graduation and everything"

"Hmm, Well at least that'll all be over by Wednesday huh"

"Yeah I guess. God I cant believe its all gonna be over in just a few days. You know, as much as I hate having to deal with all the drama that goes on all year - I cant imagine my life without it. Surprisingly I'll even miss having to deal with Finn and Rachel's drama in nearly every glee rehearsal but then again, that'll just get carried on at home so I guess some things wont be too different.

Sure Finn and Kurts relationship hadn't got off to the best start but ever since their parents got together in the boys Sophomore year of school and then decided to marry in their Junior year, they slowly started to build a relationship that any blood related siblings could rival - they themselves even forgot sometimes that they weren't actually blood related because it just felt so natural - Kurt had become a brother to Finn like Finn had become a brother to Kurt.

The remainder of the weekend flew by so quickly and before Kurt knew it, It was Wednesday - the day his high school life officially ended and he entered the "real world". 18 months ago, Kurt would've reluctantly admitted that he was scared of the real world - sure he had his friends and family to support him but surrounding him was constant judgement, hate and prejudice but then he met Blaine. Yeah people still judged them and made snide comments, but somehow, Kurt seemed less bothered because he knew he had found love and when he was with Blaine, it was like everything else was irrelevant - nothing else mattered. So now Graduation day wasn't filled with fear and doubt, it was filled with hope and happiness because he was going to leave high school and enter the world with Blaine right beside him.

"Daniel Hart, Ryan Heyes, Sophie Hughes, Kurt Hummel"

As the countertenor stepped onto the podium to collect the rolled up piece of paper officially declaring him a graduate of William McKinley High School, his family couldn't help but create a deafening commotion in support. Over all the applause and hooting being created from the other people in the room, including his New Directions friends (well, old New Direction friends now) he could faintly hear the gruff voice of his father shouting "That's my boy! That's my boy!". Daring to look over to smile at his supporters, he caught the eyes of his boyfriend who beaming with pride, stood amongst the crowd, proudly clapping and doing so in a calm like manner unlike everyone else surrounding him. As the two boys gazes met each others, their smiles grew wider and Blaine winked as Kurt shuffled off the podium to join his fellow graduates.

The next night, the two boys lay comfortably on Kurts bed with Blaines arm wrapped over Kurts shoulder, pulling them as close together as was possible. Kurt rested his head and one of his hands on Blaines chest. The position was so natural, so easy and comfortable to them - like they had been and could do it forever.

"Do you really have to go back so soon?" Kurt hated the fact that his boyfriend had only been back for a few days and he already had to say goodbye. He was fully aware that it was now officially summer and once Blaine had tied up all loose ends in Michigan, they would have 3 carefree months to spend together as they wished, but being in Blaines arms reminded him that when he was there and with Blaine, he never wanted to be anywhere else or with anyone else - he never wanted to let go but Blaine felt the exact same way. They were truly, hopelessly in love with each other.

Blaine pressed a kiss to Kurts forehead. "If I don't go tomorrow, I never will. Besides, think of it this way, I go tomorrow, it'll take me like 2, maybe 3 days given how lazy I can be sometimes, to pack up the dorm and then I'm back and then we have the whole summer to look forward to."

"Hmmmm." Two to three days still wasn't good enough for Kurt although he knew he could do it - heck, he had spent months away from Blaine when he was at university but maybe that was more acceptable to Kurt because he knew Blaine had to go to class and Kurt had his own classes to attend. Maybe it was the fact that now that neither boy had any classes to attend anymore that he just wanted them to stay with each other. "Why don't you just get David to pack it up for you and send it down?"

"Kurt, if you think I'm bad at packing, you should see David's idea of it. if it was Wes, I'd probably consider the idea but when it comes to David, lets just say, not everything gets from one destination to the other in one piece. I may be bad at packing but at least I can guarantee that everything will come back with me. "

Fondly remembering how untidy David's dorm room used to be at Dalton, Kurt didn't doubt his boyfriends comment. "Alright. Oh hey, I booked a doctors appointment for tomorrow"

Blaine straightened up at this, bringing Kurt with him. "Oh well-w-why didn't you tell me?

"Well I'm telling you now aren't I" Kurt remarked whilst taking Blaine's hand in his own. "Sorry it just slipped my mind - the last few days have been pretty crazy."

"Well do you want me to stay with you, I mean, I can always go back up to Michigan later on in the day"

"Nooo no don't be silly, its just a doctors appointment. I just want to talk to them about how tired I feel like all the time. Like I thought after finals had finished I'd feel more energised but I still don't feel any better. And I keep having moments where I just feel really hot all of a sudden and its happened at night a couple of times too, like night sweats so I just want to see what they say."

Blaine stared at Kurt, hanging on to every word that Kurt said. Even when he was talking about something awful, Blaine couldn't help but notice how beautiful his boyfriends voice was but he was still extremely concerned over what the countertenor had just said. "Babe that doesn't sound good. Are you sure you don't want me to stay?"

"Dads already said he'll come with me. Besides, the sooner you get to Michigan, the sooner you can come back to me." The younger boy beamed at the thought of his boyfriend coming home but picking up on Blaine's anxiousness, the smile soon faded away and his tone became more serious. "I'll call you, don't worry"

This sudden rush of anxiousness had overwhelmed Blaine and he wasn't even looking at Kurt at this point. He instead chose to admire their entwined hands.

"Okay" he eventually mournfully murmured out.

Desperate to reassure him, Kurt placed his hand against Blaine's cheek "Hey, look at me" Blaine slowly looked up and once the warm, familiar hazel eyes met his blue eyes, Kurt continued. "I am fine. Everything is going to be fine"

"I love you"

Kurt beamed when his boyfriend said those words - those 3 simple words still made Kurts heart beat just that little bit faster every time Blaine said them. "I love you too" Kurt leaned forward and placed a tender kiss to Blaines lips.

And with that, the boys mutually decided to turn off the lights and go to sleep, originating back to the position they'd been in moments before their late night conversation took a serious turn.

Blaine awoke the next morning to find the usually warm space next to him was mysteriously cold. And empty. "where's Kurt" he thought. Rolling over onto his side, lo and behold, he discovered a piece of paper carefully placed against the lamp on the bedside table. The handwriting was unmistakeable.

Morning Handsome,

The doctors called this morning and they had a cancellation so they were able to see me at 9 instead so I've had to go and you were so tired last night that I didn't have the heart to wake you this morning, especially as I know you have a long drive ahead of you. There's no need to rush though - help yourself to coffee, breakfast etc - you know where everything is. If you're gone before I get home, I'll call you tomorrow and I'll see you in a few days - Cant wait already. Pathetic aren't I, I'm staring at you while I'm writing this and I miss you already. Just hurry up and pack Blaine Warbler

I love you

Kurt x

Blaine couldn't help but grin whilst reading the note his boyfriend had left for him. He often found himself wondering how he had let their friendship go on for so long because this, being with Kurt and having Kurt leave him cheesy but insanely adorable notes, for him, this was the best feeling in the world and he was certain he wanted this forever.

Whilst Blaine attempted to distract himself by packing his belongings into countless brown boxes marked "Books" "Clothes" "Shoes" etc, he still found himself checking his phone every few minutes. This didn't go unnoticed by David who was casually laying on his bed, reading his book but peered above it every now and then to see Blaine repeat the same action. "Okay Dude seriously what is up with you and that phone! You've been picking it up, sighing and chucking it back down for like the past day now. I think the only time you've taken a break from it is when you go to pee, but I don't know, you probably do it there as well!"

"Sorry. It's just Kurt had his doctors appointment yesterday and he said he'd call and he hasn't called and I'm just really worried. I should've stayed, I knew I should've stayed - I mean, what good am I when I'm over 100 miles away and just - oh god, sorry I'm rambling" Blaine slumped onto his own bed.

"Yeah you are but its cool. Look, Kurt will call, he's probably just busy at the moment. Or maybe he's got himself a new man" The pillow being flung from one side of the room to the other hit David quicker then he could actually realise what was happening. "Ow! It was a joke! Look, on a serious note, I'm sure everything is fine. Besides, don't they always say 'No news is good news'?"

"Yeah I guess. Thanks man."

Blaine knew he could always rely on David to make him feel better. David smiled at him and quickly returned to his book

"Dude I still cant believe your reading 'Twilight'" Blaine remarked attempting to stifle a laugh but consequently failed.

"Shut up! Jenna practically begged me to read it and shamefully, its not even that bad. I think she wants me to pick up some tips from this Edward guy to be honest - the guy is one romantic bastard. Probably puts both of us to shame as boyfriends and he's not even real!"

"Yeah you keep telling yourself that buddy - we both know that even if Jenna hadn't told you to read it, you probably would've done at some point" Blaine winked at and embarrassed David who muttered a "whatever" in response and slunk back down into his book.

Ring Ring, Ring Ring

Without even looking up from the romance novel, David acknowledged the fact Blaines phone was now ringing. "See, I told you he would call. David's never wrong now is he"

"Uh huh, sure, whatever you say" Seeing Kurts name appear on the screen made his chest flutter every time. He didn't even hesitate in answering the call and probably answered it a bit too eagerly

"Hey babe, god you've had me so worried, is everything okay, how did the doctors go? what did th-

"Blaine?"

The gruff sounding voice on the other end was most certainly not the voice of his countertenor boyfriends.

"Burt? Oh Hi, sorry, is everything okay, where's Kurt?"

"Blaine, I think you should come down son"

"W-w-why, what wrong, where's Kurt?"

"Please kiddo just, just get here as soon as you can okay. We're at the hospital. I'll see you soon"

"The hospital! Burt Wait w-whats - "

Burt promptly hung up on Blaine. He knew it wasn't the kindest thing to do but it took everything he had in him to not tell Blaine there and then and that was certainly not the news one wanted to hear over the phone.
