A/N: This was inspired by the song Falling Out of Reach by a band called Guillemots (Great band, look them up!) Future!Klaine fic.

Kurt knew that he and Blaine had been drifting apart since Henry came onto the scene, all that Blaine seemed to do nowadays was get home from classes and sit with Henry to watch Beauty and The Beast or some other ridiculous Disney 'classic' as he called them. Kurt and Blaine had been an official couple for three years now and were in their senior year at college together. Their first year at NYU had been perfect with romantic dinners every weekend and Kurt coming back to a small apartment every night to the hazel eyed man he loved. But ever since they moved into a two-bedroom flat and had started to rent to a man named Henry White things had started to fall apart...
Three Months Earlier
"Kurt, we have to start renting! You know that even between the two of us we can't afford this place! We're already a month behind on rent as it is!" Blaine sighed, frustrated having to have the same argument for the third time that week. "I know but I just don't like the fact that some stranger could burst in at any minute! I mean what if we're, you know, doing... stuff?" Kurt shifted uncomfortably in his seat, knowing that he would lose the fight, "Then we'll just have to come up with some sort of signal, you know, we could put a rubber-band on the door knob or something, babe, I love you, but you're gonna have to allow me to put out an ad or something, otherwise we'll end up living on the street." Blaine softened his tone, sat on the couch with Kurt and started fiddling the younger boy's hair. "Fine, but no one who is going to keep me away from my studies though, please?" Kurt still wasn't happy with it, but he knew he didn't have much of a choice in the matter. "You know it, babe." Blaine kissed Kurt on the cheek and went off to organise an advert for the free room, smiling as he knew he'd won the argument.
Blaine trudged home after a hard day at college, hoping to get back and sit in front of the telly watching Hercules whilst snuggling up to Henry. Blaine was thankful for Henry as he knew that Kurt liked the Disney films but he had never really understood Blaine's love for them properly, whereas Henry seemed to enjoy them almost as much as Blaine. When he got home though, he was not greeted by the television and Henry, he was met by Kurt, strumming a few simple chords on Blaine's guitar. He didn't recognise the song and assumed that Kurt must have written it himself.
A few hours before Blaine arrived Kurt had realised that he needed to do something to stop himself from losing Blaine altogether, so he sat down at the older boy's desk and wrote a song. By the time he'd finished Blaine would be home any minute, so Kurt set himself and Blaine's guitar up in the living room where he knew Blaine would go when he first got home. Henry was away for the week but Kurt knew that Blaine wouldn't remember and would immediately go to carry on with normal routine. Kurt got woken from his thoughts when he heard Blaine's key turning in the lock, he took a deep breath and strummed the first few chords as Blaine entered and began to sing.
Slow down, slow down
you'll only get burned out,
calm down, calm down,
you're gonna get worn out.
Blaine walked towards Kurt in shock and stood a few feet away from the emotional countertenor in front of him, soaking up the music and words.
I'm not trying to make you compromise,
This fire burning in my eyes, Darling,
You're slowly drifting out of reach,
I'm slowly drifting out of reach,
We're slowly drifting out of reach.
Out of reach.
Blaine's heart sunk inside of him as he was starting to get the picture. Of course he didn't want Kurt to worry about him slipping away, Blaine would always love Kurt and no one, no one could get in the way of that.
So home is just a word now,
And I don't see you anymore
The music's gone and I'm always wrong
and there's people everywhere,
Darling.
You're slowly falling out of reach,
I'm slowly falling out of reach,
We're slowly falling out of reach,
out of reach...
Kurt strummed the last couple of chords as his short song came to a close and tried to bring himself to say what he had been hoping to say, he took a deep breath and began to speak, "L-listen, Blaine, in the past three months we have, um, d-drifted apart and I'm not sure that I can handle being around you or Henry while you are both so, friendly with each other, so I'm going to move back in with dad and Carole in Lima and start community college there instead. I, I know that you are going to tell me that nothing is going on with you two right now, but, the thing is, nothing is really going on with you and me any more either and that's the problem, me and you, we're room mates now, nothing more, nothing less and I don't want to be that way with you. I love you, Blaine. I want to be with you. But we've drifted apart and I can't handle a life without the man I love, so I'm going to have courage, like you used to tell me I needed, and give you some space. I didn't want to end things this way, or at all for that matter, but it's too much for me..." Kurt got up from the couch, handed Blaine his guitar, got his suitcase and began to walk away as quick as he could, trying to get away from his tears and broken heart, but before he reached the door he felt a firm grip on his left arm. Kurt turned around to see Blaine's tear-stained cheeks and puffy eyes. "I never stopped loving you Kurt." Kurt, tears now in full flow, turned away and opened the door just as he left he heard Blaine whisper, "It was always you, only you." between sobs.
A/N: So, um... Yeah, if you'd like me to do a follow-up chapter or something, then let me know, if I'm not asked to it won't be done. :D Hope you enjoyed that, I'd love to hear what you thought! x
