It happened when Blaine was 10 years old. Cooper died after many years of battling cancer. Cooper was Blaine's big brother. There was a pretty big age gap between the two but they were inseperable. No one could ever get Blaine detached from his brothers hip, especiall when he was in the hospital, losing his battle. It devastated Blaine when Cooper passed away. It's been six years since Blaine had last smiled truthfully and genuinely. Nothing could make him smile, not even his Glee club at school, The Warblers. He was just depressed and he didn't know what life was anymore.

Blaine's parents tried everything to get him to cheer up, but nothing seemed to work. But when Blaine was thirteen, he confessed to his parents that he was gay and things down hill from there. Daniel, Blaine's dad, was so livid at his son for being gay. He said that no child of his would be gay and he sent him to an all christian camp to 'fix' his son. It didn't work. Blaine never listened to anything the camp told him. He knew for a fact that he was gay and no one was going to change that. Blaine's mom, Nicole, was very accepting of her son and never judged him. She was acutally against sending her son to that camp, but like her husband said, she didn't have a say in it. She hated seeing her son so depressed. All she wanted was to see his beautiful smile just once and when Blaine came home from school one day, she was shocked when there was a genuine,
real smile plastered on his face. She grinned and ran over to the young boy, gathering him into a hug.

"Uh, hi mom." Blaine said, chuckling as he hugged his mom back. This was extremely odd for Blaine and he didn't know why she was hugging him, but he didn't object.
"You're smiling! Blaine, you're smiling a real smile!" She said, pulling back and taking a good look at her happy, smiling son. It had been way too long since she last seen that beautiful smile of his.
"I know mom, I had a really good day today." He said, walking into the kitchen and going to the kitchen to grab a water bottle. He saw the plate of freshly baked cookies sitting on the counter and snuck one, biting into the gooeyness of the warm cookie. Nicole followed Blaine into the kitchen and took a cookie for herself. Sitting at the breakfast bar,
she motioned Blaine to join her.
"Well, tell me what happened today that made it so good." She said, smiling and giving her son all of her attention. Blaine blushed and looked down, trying to find the right words to tell his mom about his day.
"Well, I was on my way to Warblers practice when someone tapped me on the shoulder. When I turned around, I saw the most gorgeous pair of eyes I've ever seen." Blaine looked up at his mom and looked into her eyes with a serious face.
"Mom, they were beautiful and they belonged to the most beautiful boy in the world." Nicole grinned at her sons words. She knew exactly what Blaine was talking about, Blaine was talking about meeting the one.
"When he spoke, God mom, it was like an angel had just came down from heaven and took over his body. It was so angelic and sweet." The blush on Blaine's cheeks grew redder and he looked back down. Nicole looked at her son sympathetically.
"He asked me what was going on like he didn't know and I told him about the Warblers. He was so stunned at the fact that the Warblers were popular. When I grabbed his hand to take him to the performance, it was like my hand found it's missing puzzle piece." Blaine took a breath and opened his mouth to continue speaking.
"We were putting on a performance of Teenage Dream and it was like fate. I couldn't keep my eyes off of him the entire time. A little later after, Wes, David, Kurt and I went to go get some coffee. We knew that Kurt, that's the boys name, wasn't a student at Dalton and he felt terrible for spying on us, but we forgave him." Nicole grinned, knowing that she raised her son right.

"That's-" Nicole couldn't finish her sentence due to her son shaking his head. Blaine wasn't finished.
"He asked us if we were all gay. David answered and said that he and Wes weren't but I was. Kurt just nodded. I could tell there was something wrong so I asked for Wes and David to give us a moment. Mom, Kurt's being bullied at his school. He gets tormented at his school. There's even someone who is out to get him." Blaine had worry dripping from his voice and covering his eyes.
"I know I barely know him, but I'm worried about him." Nicole shook her head, understanding. Putting a hand on Blaine's, she squeezed it reassuringly.
"You know why that is?" She asked. Blaine lifted his head and looked at Nicole with furrowed eyebrows. He shook his head. "Because you like him, maybe even love." Blaine's eyes widened.
"B-but I just met him." He said, sounding like a little kid. Nicole nodded.
"That may be true, but you know that love at first sight exists. You said it yourself that you believe it." Blaine laughed. "I think you may be right again, mom." Getting up from his seat, he kissed his mother on the cheek and smiled.
"Thank you for listening. I think I'm going to go text him and get some homework done, if possible." He said, running out of the kitchen and up the stairs. Nicole just shook her head, smiling. She was beyond happy that Blaine had found someone that could make him happy. Six years without a smile is just too long for her being.


Kurt was sitting in his bedroom in the town of Lima, Ohio when his phone decided to go off. Putting his pencil down, he grabbed the phone and saw that there was a text from none other than Blaine Anderson. Kurt grinned and immediately opened the message.

6:13pm

How's your evening going? -B

Kurt sighed, loving that someone cared about him and how he was doing. He clicked on reply and typed up a reply in seconds.

6:14pm

It's going. Just finishing up some homework. How are you doing? -K

6:16pm

Oh, I'm fine. Excellent, to be accurate. -B

Kurt laughed at this. He was glad that someone in his life was actually happy. Their conversation went back and forth, just getting to know each other a little better. There was something about Blaine that had Kurt's stomach fill up with butterflies. He couldn't shake the feeling of like towards his new friend. Just as he got into the thought, his dad knocked on the door, telling him it was getting late and that he had to start getting to bed. Furrowing his brows, he looked at the clock and realized that it was now 1:36 in the morning.
Kurt sent Blaine a quick text as he got ready for bed.

1:37am

It's getting really late. I wasn't even paying attention to the time. I gotta get going, school in the morning. I'll text you then? -K

Kurt got an instant reply from Blaine. He smiled and opened the message.

1:38am

Aw :( I was hoping we'd pull an all nighter. ;) Just kidding. I need to get to bed too. I'll most definitely talk to you in the morning. Goodnight Kurt, sweet dreams. xx B

Kurt's heart fluttered at the two x's at the end of the text. He knew that Blaine meant it as nothing more than friends, but he could dream, right?
