Chapter 1

Blaine Anderson has gone through more in the last year than most have in their entire lifetime. It all began when he was a junior at McKinley High School; he joined every extra curricular activity he could. He was the wide receiver for the Titan's football team, lead singer in the glee club, founder of the super heroes club and Student Body President.

Life at McKinley was hard but it got harder as the year ended because that was when his father died of cancer and word got out that Blaine was gay. Blaine's mother had not worked since her college days and was having trouble finding work since her husband's passing. After looking for a month, she was able to find a part-time job as a waitress at Breadstix while the kids were at school. His fourteen year old sister, Kitty, helped by babysitting their five year old twin brothers, Cooper and Riley, until their mother got home from work. Blaine was able to help support his family by performing musical acts part time at Scandals, a gay bar.

After being impeached from the student body presidency, he quit football because he was suffering beatings on the field and in the locker room. Then he quit the super heroes club because he only had four hours of sleep a night due to his work schedule but he never quit glee. Glee helped him keep his voice strong for his performances at Scandals.

One night while he was performing he saw the most beautiful man he had ever seen with the most amazing blue eyes. He was wearing a blue button down dress shirt that matched his eyes, black skinny jeans and knee high boots that made his legs go on forever. He wanted to know more about this beautiful man and as he was finishing his set for the evening, the man smiled at him and waved goodbye before walking out the door.

Once Blaine got home from work, he took a shower and laid in his bed pulling the blanket over him. He thought of the most beautiful man again as he was dosing off.

Kurt Hummel dreamed of going to New York's Academy of Dramatic Arts (NYADA) and making it on Broadway, while he was a junior at Westerville High School. However, five years ago his dreams changed when he met Noah Puckerman.

*flashback* (Kurt's POV)

It was my senior year, I was headed to school and decided to stop at the Lima Bean for a coffee. I waited in line so I could place my order when I noticed a handsome man bending over a table to wipe it down when I thought, 'nice ass'.

He winked at me and said, "thank you, you have a nice one too".

I could feel my cheeks getting hot, embarrassed that I said that out loud.

"My name is Puck, what's your name?"

"Your name is Puck? Is that short for something?

"My last name is Puckerman. My first name is Noah but my friends call me Puck", he said. "So what is your name?"

I smiled and said,"Kurt, nice to meet you."

"Same to you, Kurt", he said as he winked.

We were interrupted when the cashier asked me what I wanted. I said, "I would like a grande non-fat mocha, please." I paid the cashier for my coffee and waited by the counter. When the barista brought my coffee to me, Puck handed me a napkin. I noticed the napkin had a number on it and when I looked up, Puck winked and mouthed the words 'call me'!

I put his phone number into my phone and texted 'Hi, this is Kurt from this morning'.

He replied, 'Hi!' (with a smiley face)

After two weeks of morning coffee conversations, he called and asked me out to dinner. I was dressed in a black silk button down shirt, gold skinny jeans, black boots and a gold/black plaid neckerchief. He picked me up at 7pm and he was dressed in a black suit with a light blue shirt and dark blue tie. My father could tell how nervous I was but he didn't say anything because he knew this was my first date although I could tell he was a little hesitant about the mohawk he was sporting. As we left my house, Puck put his hand in mine and walked me to the passenger side of his Cadillac Escalade before going to the driver's side and turning on the ignition, heading towards 'Breadstix'.

He pulled into 'Breadstix' parking lot and turned off the ignition. He got out of the Escalade and came to the passenger side to open the door and held out his hand to help me down. We continued holding hands until we were seated in a corner booth. I ordered pasta primavera with a diet coke and Puck ordered chicken fettuccine with a glass of wine.

We discussed stories of our past and our future. I told Puck about my dreams of going to NYADA and becoming a Broadway star but regretted it when I saw Puck's smile fade. He told me that he moved to Ohio from New York and he had friends going to NYADA.

He asked, "Have you heard about Rachel Berry?"

I said, "Yeah, She is in 'Funny Girl', right?"

"The one and only", he said. "She was my roommate before she got married and I couldn't afford to live in New York by myself so I moved here."

I told him, "I am sorry to hear that but I am glad it didn't work out because then I may not have met you, at least not yet anyway."

After dinner, we walked back to the Escalade hand in hand. Puck opened the passenger door and before I could get in, he reached for my cheek and put his lips on mine. He swiped my bottom lip with his tongue so I opened my mouth to give him free access. I placed my hand around his waist so I could pull him closer to me. We finally broke apart so that we could breathe properly then I climbed in the Escalade and he shut the door. He got in the driver's seat, started the ignition and smiled at me blushing.

Puck reached for my hand and said, "I don't want you to go to New York. I just met you and I don't want to lose you already."

I smiled at him and said, "well I have to get accepted to NYADA before I would leave for New York and I am still a senior in high school. I have at least 8 months before I would leave and I will not say goodbye to you."

When we returned to my home, he walked me to the front door, pulled me against him and kissed me hard on the lips; causing me to moan loudly.

When we pulled away from each other to breathe I asked, "are you working at the 'Lima Bean' tomorrow"?

He responded with a heavy breath, "yes! Will you be coming in for coffee?"

I said, "yes! I will be there at 7am".

Puck smiled and said, "I will have a grande non-fat mocha ready for you".

I was shocked and I said, "you know my coffee order?"

He said, "of course I do!"

I remembered waking up the next morning, taking a shower and getting ready for school. I texted Puck to tell him I was on my way to the 'Lima Bean' and that he would see me in a few minutes. I didn't get a response but I figured that Puck was busy and didn't have time to respond so I got into my Navigator and drove to the 'Lima Bean' before driving thirty miles to Westerville. However, when I got to the 'Lima Bean' there was a notice that one of their employees was killed in a car accident last night. I went to the cashier asking for Puck and she told me that Puck was killed in a car accident last night. I was so shocked that I collapsed on the floor right there.

*flashback complete*

Kurt woke up in a cold sweat thinking about Puck. He hadn't known Puck for very long but he did know that he loved him. Puck was his first kiss and no one could ever take that away from him. Kurt has had a couple of relationships in his life but none that were as special as Puck. He didn't think he could love anyone after what happened to Puck but after seeing that sexy man on stage last night at 'Scandals', he could possibly change his mind. 'I wonder if he is working tonight', he thought. He decided that he will go to Scandals after work to see that sexy man again.
