The New Rachel

(Disclaimer: I do not own anything but my own creativeness.)

The summer before his senior year was one of the best Blaine had had in his whole life. He was dreading it for a while, thinking he would be alone, but as it turned out he was far from it. His time was spent between shopping with Tina, playing video games with Sam and Artie, hanging out with the ones who'd be gone at the end of the summer, and spending as much time with Kurt as he possibly could between the boy's new job at Lima Bean and him worrying about what he would do when the school year began. He had a great summer.

He even tried to get in touch with some of his neglected friends at Dalton. Even with the situation involving a slushie, almost losing sight in his eyes, and having to get surgery, he was still their friends. He had hung out with Nick, Jeff, Thad, and Trent. He really missed them. They had a blast.

Now that summer was over and his senior year was the next day, he found himself beginning to freak out. Nerves worked their way through his body. Now that Finn and Rachel were gone, it left the position of the new lead soloist and leader open. Sure he was newer than some of the other people, but he had the skills to take over. Being in the Warblers helped him. He knew that it would be different, of course. Not every solo would be his and he was fine with that, but he wanted to be the one everyone looked to for the answers.

He walked into school the new day with a spring in his step and smiling wide. He knew that with the New Direction's new popularity, his new outfit, gray slacks, white polo, green and navy sweater vest and gray bowtie, would not get ruined by the red dye of the many slushie that were tossed in his face the year before.

He stopped by the choir room and found Tina, Brittany, and Artie. They were looking at the case with their Nationals trophy was sitting. He stepped up next to Brittany and smiled at their reward for their victory. It felt god to win.

"Face it," he heard behind him and all four turned to find Jacob Ben Israel with a microphone in his hand, "Rachel Berry was the group's undisputed star, so really the only question is which one of you is the new Rachel?"

Blaine smiled and nodded his head. It was flattering that someone else had realized their needed to be a new leader and it was obviously him. He leaned in and said, "I am." But the thing was he wasn't the only one to say it. Brittany and Tina said it at the same time and everything stopped. They turned to give each other this look before the bell rang.

Blaine frowned and left with Brittany and Tina, giving them the look as he walked to his class. "I'll be the next Rachel, you two," he said as he turned to stop them.

Tina turned on her heels and strutted up to him. "We may be friends Blaine, but I will not let you take this position from me. The only thing that got me through the break up with Mike was the fact that I knew I would take over Rachel's spot."

Brittany stepped up. "Just so you know, you're both wrong," she said. "I'm the new Rachel. As last year's president and soon to be this year's president, I get Rachel's spot. And because I'm way better than both to you put together."

Blaine and Tina gaped at her as she strutted away. "I'm the only one of us that has the leadership skills," Blaine said quickly. "You wouldn't know what to do with the power, Tina. Just step down and give it to the rightful owner, me."

Tina glared at Blaine and stepped even closer. "You know what, Blaine?" she asked looking right into his golden eyes. "You've got yourself an enemy. I won't let you take the lead because I'm way more talented than you."

Blaine laughed. "No one in glee is as talented as me, Tina. I think the sooner you realize it the less it will hurt in the end, when I'm handed the lead soloist spot."

She glared at him, seeming at a loss for words. Blaine took that as a win and smiled brightly. He turned on his heels and strutted to class with his smug smile on his face. This year was going to be a good one.

Kurt had been so insanely busy the week school had started. He had to get things situated before his classes started. He had to work a double shift at the Lima Bean and help Mr. Schue with the auditions for the New Direction, which he was most excited about. He had been headed into school to meet Sue in her office when his phone rang.

"Kurt Hummel speaking," he answered with a smile on his lips. He already knew who it was, but he had answered the past nine calls that week the same whenever Rachel called.

"Hey Kurt!" she squealed. "I have something important to tell you that happened last night. So you know how I told you I have to do my showering and moisturizing at like three in the morning?" Kurt hummed in response. "Well I went in last night and there was a guy in the showers singing is his incredibly good voice-"

"Do you expect anyone at that school has a bad voice?" he asked amused. "It's NYADA after all."

"Not the point," she brushed off, "but this boy, no guy, was beautiful. He walked out of the shower and I saw everything, and I mean everything. I quickly looked away, but he saw me. We talked for a little bit and I was very thankful that he wrapped the towel around himself, even if it was absurdly low. He told me that he has a long moisturizing routine and that he was majoring in musical theatre like me. Before he left he told me that he wasn't gay, if I was wonder which I was."

"He's just like you, so he's wearing a towel, that was barely covering his twinkle tube and he's straight?" he asked amused. "Hot. Do you like him?"

"No!" she exclaimed immediately. "You know I'll always love Finn." She stopped before adding, "oh and I love you and miss you like crazy."

"Oh, is that why you are calling me every three hours?" he joked.

"Well I just want to make sure you're okay," the girl rushed out in an explanation. She decided to assure him, even if it wasn't the truth. "I'm great. I love it here. My dance teacher worships me, but how are you? Are you okay?"

"I'm keeping busy," he said over the loud students walking through the halls.

"Where are you right now?" she asked curiously.

"I just passed Mrs. Hagburn's old classroom. Figured I'd stop by McKinley and meet their newest addition." He smiled and stopped out of Sue's office. "Listen, I'll call you later okay?"

"Okay have fun," she said before hanging up.

Kurt stuffed the phone in his pocket and caught a glimpse of his boyfriend at his locker. He smiled to himself as he saw the contagious, warm smile on his face. Blaine must have felt his gaze because he turned and locked eyes with Kurt, his smile growing impossibly bigger. Kurt waved and winked before turning and walking into Sue's office.

"Make no mistake," Wade said after he sat down on top of Blaine, "Unique will be the new Rachel."

Blaine raised his eyebrows at the statement. This kid had guts, but he was the new Rachel. "We decide this on our own then," he informed them as Brittany and Tina leaned forward from their seats to hear, "Thunderdome style." He turned to see Wade roll his eyes as the girls listening. "Five o'clock, in the auditorium."

They sat through the rest of glee practice and Blaine shot out of his seat when they were dismissed. He needed to get prepared for the meeting for the lead. He needed to nail it.

"Hey you," he heard behind him. He smiled as Kurt leaned against the locker next to him. "Doesn't this feel like déjà vu?"

Blaine laughed softly. "A little. What are you doing here? I saw you before glee, but I didn't get a chance to ask you what you were doing here."

A smile pulled at the older boy's lips. "Sue called me and told me to come in and see her baby. She truly is beautiful. She named her Robin. Isn't that so sweet?"

Blaine nodded and pulled his history book, yep he had homework the second day of school, placing it in his bag. "I'll have to stop by her office one of these days that I'm free."

"Since I was in there longer than expected I thought I'd wait for you. I don't work, so we can do something together before my classes start and we won't have much time the next couple of days."

A feeling of guilt washed over Blaine. Kurt looked so hopeful. He didn't even think about Kurt when he had made the plans with the others. He wanted to spend some time with his boyfriend. "I wish I was free," he finally answered and Kurt's face fell almost instantly.

"I get it," he said quickly. He stood up straight and looked down. "You are a senior and you have all these friends. Go hang out with them. I'll just go help my dad out at the shop or something."

Blaine watched him pull a fake smile and turn to walk down the hall. It wasn't his fault. He wanted to spend time with Kurt, but he had to beat the other three to be the new Rachel. He had to do that now and would make it up to Kurt later. He was sure that the audition wouldn't last all night.

Yet he found himself flopping down on his bed at ten. He moaned and rolled over to his phone. The group, despite the competition, decided to get dinner at BreadStix. It was nice, but Blaine didn't know how late it was until he got into the car. He was going to surprise Kurt, but knew Burt wouldn't be happy if he showed up so late.

He dialed Kurt's number and held the phone to his ear. Three rings until Kurt's voicemail started, "Hey it's Kurt. I'm not here right now."

"He's with me," Blaine's voice came from the back, "and you aren't important. I am way more important than anyone."

"Blaine," Kurt's voice reprimanded, "forget what he said. It's Kurt and I'm busy with him or working. Leave a message and I'll call you back when I find time."

"If he has time," Blaine voice yelled before the beep.

Blaine hung up and tossed his phone to the other side of the bed. He pulled himself up and changed his clothes before brushing his teeth. As he was heading back to his bed he heard his phone. Shutting the light off, he hopped in bed and answered the button. "Hello?"

"Did you call?" Kurt's soft voice asked from the other end of the line.

"Yeah, hey," Blaine answered.

Kurt laughed softly, "Did you just get home?"

"Yeah, Brittany, Wade, Tina, and I went to dinner at BreadStix. We are all competing on whose going to be the new Rachel. I don't understand why Wade feels he's even in the running. He just transferred."

Kurt hummed in response. "I just don't understand why you don't all share it. I remember last year when everyone was jealous of Rachel and her solos. Share them so everyone gets to sing."

Blaine new he had a point, but he still wanted the title. "I was going to come over after, but we were out too late. I feel bad for not hanging out with you tonight."

"Don't, Blaine," Kurt demanded, "don't be sorry. I don't want to stand in your way of having fun. It's fine. I'm sure we will find some time to hang out." Blaine sighed. "Don't you sigh at me."

"I promise we will see each other tomorrow, okay?" he asked. Kurt hummed. "Brittany wants to get coffee in the morning so I'll see you then and give you a big kiss."

Kurt giggled and it warmed Blaine's heart. "How romantic of you," he cooed. "I should let you go to bed though. We both have to get up early."

Blaine groaned in protest. "I don't wanna go to bed, I wanna talk to you," he pouted.

"How about you get in bed and I'll sing you to sleep?" he asked tiredly. "Does that sound acceptable? You can fall asleep while still on the phone."

Blaine smiled and got under the comforter. After a long day he needed this. He listened as Kurt's beautiful voice sang softly through the phone and before long he let his eyes slip close. He was almost asleep when he noticed Kurt's voice subsided and he said, his voice thick with sleep, "I love you, Blaine Anderson." He smiled to himself and let himself relax into a deep sleep.

-3-

"Hey!" Brittany greeted when Blaine hopped out of his car the next morning at the Lima Bean. "Ready to go get some yummy coffee?"

Blaine nodded and let her slip an arm through his. They walked into the coffee shop and Blaine immediately found Kurt. He was so adorable with his hat, scarf, and apron. They walked up to the counter and Kurt grinned. "Hey you two, how are you guys this morning?"

"Great," Blaine answered brightly. "Thanks for last night. It helped me fall to sleep quicker."

Kurt blushed and nodded. "You are welcome. What can I get you guys?" They ordered and Kurt immediately went to work.

When Blaine and Brittany sat down, she gave Blaine a look. "What?" he asked. "Why are you looking at me like I did something bad?"

"Not bad," she said, "it's just that whenever Santana thanks me for the night before it involves a little touching and kissing. Did you are Kurt do it last night?"

"Of course not," Blaine immediately spoke, "I just didn't want to hang up with him and he sang to me until I fell asleep. It helped me fall to sleep."

"Boring!" she exclaimed frowning. "I was really hoping for something interesting from you, but you just bored me. I'm going to fall asleep now."

Blaine laughed before trying to direct the conversation to something other than his and Kurt's sex life, no matter how amazing it was. "So, how's Santana?"

Brittany smiled. "She's good. She's really busy with cheerleading practice and its hard making out over Skype. You can't really scissor a webcam."

Now the conversation was on her sex life and Blaine didn't want to talk about her scissoring anything even if it was paper.

Thank goodness Kurt decided that moment to bring their coffee. "He's an extra hot soy latte for him and a no chocolate for her," he said, sitting their cups down in front of them.

"Merci," Brittany said as Kurt sat down quickly.

"I can't wait 'til Friday," Kurt said eagerly. He looked at the two.

Blaine frowned and tried to think of why, but came up with nothing. "Why?"

Kurt seemed shocked by his lack of knowledge. "Glee club auditions," he explained with emphasis on the words and Blaine smiled.

"That sounds fun," Brittany lied horribly.

"That'll be nice," Blaine tried and failed to sound happy to. The memory that he might not get the lead soloist was heavy on his shoulders. He wanted it really bad.

"Is it depressing that I'm more excited about it than either of you?" he asked. His mood fell instantly as Sue and Kitty's words came back to him from the day before.

"Yes," Brittany said the same time as Blaine said, "No, not at all." Brittany nodded and looked over to Kurt. "A little bit."

"No," Blaine said ready to defend his boyfriend, "no it's-"

"Excuse me? Garcon?" Kitty yelled from across the room. She got Kurt's attention and he stood to hurry over to her.

Blaine sighed and looked after him before turning back to Brittany. "Are you ready? We should get going to school." She nodded and they both stood, grabbing both their bags, and walked to the door. "Hold on I want to say goodbye," Blaine said turning to Kurt.

When Kurt turned to look at him he waved at him and motioned for him to call. He didn't miss the longing look Kurt gave him before they walk out the door. Blaine knew that he had to do something about the fact that Kurt didn't seem to smile as much anymore. He smiled and turned to Brittany. "How would you and the Cheerios like to help me out on a number in the courtyard?" he asked and Brittany grinned, nodding her head. He was getting Kurt to New York if it was the last thing he would ever do.

-4-

Due to the fact that Blaine had to spend most of his weekend after auditions with the Cheerios, rehearsing their number he would perform for Kurt soon. It was turning out really amazingly. He couldn't wait to see the reaction on Kurt's face.

Kurt had been annoyed that Blaine was so busy, but it turned out he worked both days, so the boys only got to see each other once for five minutes when Blaine and Brittany got coffee again on Sunday. Blaine was lying in bed that night trying to remember when the last time he kissed Kurt was, but he could not remember. He was going to change that soon.

He pulled his phone out and dialed Kurt's number. "Can't sleep again?" Kurt answered sweetly.

"Just thinking about the last time we kissed," he said truthfully, "and to be honest I can't remember when it was. We haven't had any alone time in so long."

He heard Kurt sigh. "I'm sorry, Blaine. It's my entire fault. I'm so busy with work and freaking out over the New Directions. I'm not taking enough time to think about us."

"Hey," Blaine stopped him, "will you please stop apologize me. You aren't doing anything wrong, Baby. You are working and I'm not mad at you for doing that. I'm just as guilty as you."

They were silent for a moment before Kurt spoke up, "Eight days, twenty-one hours, and twenty three minutes."

Blaine frowned in confusion. "Am I supposed to know what that means?" he asked quietly.

"The last time we kissed," he informed, "you said you didn't remember, but I do. It was when you parents had a business trip and I snuck over. We did stuff then fell asleep and you woke me up by kissing me. I only remembered it because it was one of my favorite kisses."

Blaine blushed as he remember the languid way he moved his lips against Kurt's, the way Kurt complained about his breath, but Blaine told his he didn't care. "It was a pretty good kiss, wasn't it?"

"An amazing kiss," Kurt agreed, "so tomorrow when you see me, I want you to lay a big one on me, no matter where we are, okay?"

"But you hate PDA," Blaine pointed out, "and the last thing I want is for you to be uncomfortable. So how about the next time I get you alone, I will lay the biggest, wettest kiss on your lips."

Kurt laughed harshly. "Okay," he said between laughs, "just know I'll be waiting for it. Now we should really go to sleep because we both have to get to school in the morning."

"Yeah, yeah," Blaine said closing his eyes. "Please just sing to me again?"

Kurt smiled and nodded even though Blaine couldn't sing. "You know that you are going to have to pay me back for doing this."

"Yeah, but for right now get singing," he instructed. "Oh and Kurt? I love you."

Kurt's eyes watered as he began singing. He didn't care about his horrible job, his crappy college, or the fact that he wanted to stay at McKinley with the New Directions, because Blaine loved him. He didn't care how much of a failure he was. Blaine talked to him every day and made him feel special when he felt like his life meant nothing. Blaine was his light in his dull life. "I love you so much more."

On Tuesday, Blaine walked into the courtyard at lunch and saw Kurt smiling up at him from a table. He had texted him and told him to come so they could have lunch together, but really Blaine was pumped to give Kurt his pep talk and song. "Hey you," he said sitting down.

"I brought you coffee!" he exclaimed pushing a coffee cup towards Blaine. "I just got off for the day and I decided to bring some instead of lunch. Hope that's okay."

Blaine smiled and took a swig of his coffee. He was suddenly nervous about everything, so he took a decided to stall. "I'm so excited Kurt," he said as he sat his cup down, "getting the lead soloist is a big thing." Kurt smiled fondly, but his no answer made Blaine curious. "Are you not happy that I won? Do you think that Brittany or Tina should have got it?"

"Of course I think you should be the lead soloist," he reassured, "but can I give you some advice? Even when Rachel was her most controlling, she still made sure everyone felt included."

"Okay," Blaine said, he could handle that, "you have a point." It was time to drop the big bomb. "Can I give you some advice?" Kurt took a sip of his coffee and raised an eyebrow. "You can't be here anymore, Kurt."

Kurt ducked his head, everything coming back from the conversation with Kitty and Sue. "I get it," he said nodding his head, "I know I'm pathetic."

"No, no, you're not pathetic. It's just that you're-" he paused thinking of the best way to put it. "You're stuck. You don't belong here anymore. You belong in New York."

"And I'm reapplying to NYADA," he said. He had had this conversation with his dad too. There was no reason to go when he didn't have anything to do there. "But I can't just go to New York."

"You don't need, NYADA," he informed. He got so mad when Kurt acted like he had nothing else to go for. Sure he was talented, but there were other things in New York going for him. "And believe me, I don't want to see you go, but I just can't stand to see you stay here. It's killing you and that's killing me."

"What about us?" he tried as his last attempt to get to stay home. It would be much easier to stay here until Blaine could come. He could help him with everything.

"In a year, I'll be there too," Blaine confirmed looking into his blue eyes and Kurt knew that he was telling the truth. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad. "Right now is your time. You're ready." He shot Kitty a look and they started to pound on the cups perfectly.

Kurt turned to look at them, curiosity winning over. Blaine looked to Kurt and smirked. When Kurt looked back and Blaine pointed to the band hidden on the stairs, everything fit into place. He ducked his head, not believing Blaine would do this to him in front of the whole courtyard.

So this is what you meantwhen you said that you were spentand now it's time to build from the bottom of the pitRight to the topdon't look backPacking my bags and giving the academy a rain check

He saw the double Dutch girls and the boys dancing. This was way too much. Blaine was going to get it later, but now he was going to relax and enjoy the song. His eyes followed Blaine as he hopped up and jumped up the steps, singing his heart out to Kurt.

I don't ever want to let you downI don't ever want to leave this town'Cause after allthis city never sleeps at night

Kurt turned in his seat and pulled his knees up to his chest. Blaine was such a little kid sometimes. That was confirmed when Blaine jumped into the jump ropes and started jumping like an expert. He learned something new every day.

It's time to begin, isn't it?I get a little bit bigger, but then I'll admitI'm just the same as I wasnow don't you understandthat I'm never changing who I am

He smiled as Blaine walked down and started to dance with a group of boys. The steps were choreographed and right on beat. Kurt looked on in awe. Blaine did this all for him.

This road never looked so lonelythis house doesn't burn down slowlyto ashes, to ashes

Blaine hopped back up to the platform in the middle of the stairs. He looked to Kurt before taking a cup and moving it along to the beat of the song. Kurt realized how much work Blaine put into this performance. He really cared about him and the feeling was mutual. He stood up and waited for the song to get over. He wanted to hold Blaine close.

It's time to begin, isn't it?I get a little bit bigger, but then I'll admitI'm just the same as I wasnow don't you understandI'm never changing who I am

Blaine jumped up and made his way towards Kurt. He stopped along the way to sing the song to his fullest. Kurt would have appreciated it if he would hurry, but he was so touched that he didn't care. He had to sit from the emotions going through his body.

It's time to begin, isn't it?I get a little bit bigger, but then I'll admitI'm just the same as I wasDon't you understandthat I'm never changing who I am

Blaine jumped down to the ground and walked over to Kurt. He stood and put his hands on his hips, giving Blaine a pointed look. Blaine smiled innocently with his hand linked behind his back and Kurt could pretend anymore. He was so grateful for the boy. He held his arms out and wrapped them around Blaine's neck firmly, Blaine's wrapping around his tiny waist tightly.

Kurt laughed before saying, "I'm going to miss you so much."

Blaine felt a wave of relief rush over him, tightening his grip if possible. The bell rang, signaling the end of lunch, and both boys jumped. Kurt sighed, pulling his arms back to himself. "You should go to class."

"You should let me come over tomorrow night," Blaine said quickly, "I've got glee tonight, but tomorrow I'm free." He got his bag and stepped closer to Kurt. "So we can cuddle and do all these good things."

Kurt blushed and nodded his head. "I'll be waiting tomorrow after school," he said and turned to leave, but Blaine pulled him back. He looked around before placing a sweet kiss on his cheek. "Oh."

"I'll see you tomorrow," Blaine said with a wink. He hurried to get to class before the bell rang and he was late. He smiled to himself as his plan worked. Kurt smiled fondly as he looked around the empty courtyard. Everything that had happened opened his eyes. He would go to New York.

"Dad?" Kurt asked when the older man got home later that afternoon. He had been pacing back and forth trying to think about how he was going to tell his dad.

"Hey kiddo," Burt greeted. He kissed his hair and moved to the fridge. "Did you need something?"

Kurt nodded and looked at his hands. "I just- Blaine and I talked at school today and he made me realize something. I don't belong here."

Burt looked up from the fridge and leaned against the counter. "I've been trying to tell you that all summer, Kurt. Why is it that you listen to Blaine and not me?"

"He sang to me," Kurt explained and smiled when his dad did too. "I need to go to New York and just be there. It's something that I've wanted to do since I was little. Being here and watching everyone live their lives, it's hard for me to do because my life is a pausing point. I need to continue with my life and go to New York. I need your approval though. I want to make sure you are-"

Burt pulled Kurt from the chair and into his arms. "Don't even say that. You are my son and I support everything you want to do. We need to get you a ticket. There's no way my son is sitting on a train or car. You're going with class."

"A plane?" Kurt asked.

"A damn plane. Now you have money saved up from working and I figured we can sell your car and get you some extra cash. You won't need it in New York."

"My baby?" he questioned his eyes wide and shocked.

"Your baby," he agreed, "just think about how much you can get from her. You'd be set for a good couple months in New York. You gotta find an apartment and job. We've got a lot to figure out then you gotta pack. I'll call that college you were going to and cancel your classes."

Kurt laughed and followed his dad out of the kitchen and to the computer. He thought telling his dad about moving would strike up a little emotion, but he was happy for him and that was all Kurt could ask for.

-7-

Kurt had heard the doorbell, but was too busy packing his room to worry. His dad had found a cheap ticket for the next morning to New York. He needed to get one suitcase and his bag packed with as much as he could, then pack everything he wanted his dad to send when he found an apartment. He wished he would have held out a little bit longer with his sticky notes. He had gotten upset and tore them all off to the amusement of Blaine in the middle of the summer.

He sighed and blew his hair that was falling in his face when two strong arms wrapped around his waist. "Hey you," he heard in his ear.

He immediately relaxed and forgot about the million boxes he had to pack. "Hey," he said back, turning in his arms and looking into Blaine's golden orbs.

"You didn't forget about our date did you?" the shorter boy asked pulling Kurt closer. "Because if you did I'd be sad."

"Nope," Kurt assured. He let his gaze flicker to Blaine's lips quickly and the boy smiled. "I've got a lot of packing to do and this is really too much for one boy to do all by himself. Would you be willing to help me?"

"Of course," Blaine said and they both got to work. Blaine made sure to touch Kurt whenever he could, if it was a graze of his body, his arms wrapping around his waist, or their fingers sliding through each other. As they finished packing the last box Blaine leaned his chin on Kurt's shoulder and gazed at the empty room, except the pile of boxes and a bed. "Crazy."

"I'm going to miss you," Kurt said quickly and Blaine heard the quiver in his voice.

"Hey now," Blaine said quickly, "we will talk all the time. It'll be just like now. You'll sing to me and we will talk until the early hours of the morning. It'll be fine, we are strong."

Kurt sighed and pulled away from Blaine to walk to his bed. "How can you just act like it's nothing? I'm going to New York, eleven hours away if you drive. Things are going to be hard."

Blaine walked over and sat down next to him, taking his hands in his own. "I love you," he said. "You are my boyfriend, Kurt. I'm not going to let this break us. We have been through worse things and this distance will be good for us. It will give us a chance to breath, even though I'm going to miss you more than anything."

Kurt smiled a watery smile and launched himself at Blaine, sending them back on the bed. Blaine laughed and held him close as they hugged tightly. "I love you," Kurt whispered in his ear.

"I love you too," Blaine told him.

Kurt pulled back quickly and looked into Blaine's eyes before leaning down. Blaine met him halfway; slipping his lips against Kurt's and memorized the feeling. Hands were everywhere and Blaine found his rest on Kurt's ass. A moan escaped Kurt' lips and he moved a knee between Blaine's legs to get closer. Blaine rolled them over, so he was leaning over the small boy, pecking his lips.

Kurt giggled and caressed Blaine's cheeks with both of his hands, pulling him down for a quick kiss. "Do you think my dad will let you stay the night? I don't want to be without you until I have to."

"It's not like we would do anything," Blaine said, licking Kurt's jaw line up to his ear. "Even if I'm very tempted to."

Another giggle escaped Kurt's lips and he leaned up to kiss him again. A throat was cleared and Blaine shot up as Kurt sat up blushing. "We finished packing."

Burt nodded and checked the room out. "I can see that, it's getting pretty late, Blaine. Don't you think you should get home?"

Kurt bit his lip and looked to Blaine. "I was thinking that maybe Blaine could stay the night," he tried quietly. "He can't come to see me off tomorrow and I want to spend more time with him."

They looked to Burt in hope, Blaine's finger woven through Kurt's. Burt studied the boys before shrugging. "You're moving out, I can't stop you two from sleeping together, just respect my house rules and Blaine make sure it's okay with your parents."

Kurt jumped happily and hugged his father. Blaine called and talked to his mom before both boys were settled in bed, Kurt curled up in Blaine's side. The silence was thick as so many words were left unsaid, but neither boy said a word.

"I'll always love you," Blaine whispered, finally, into the room.

"I know," Kurt answered, "and I'll always love you. I'll send you pictures of everything and I'll be back for Sectionals and Thanksgiving, maybe even Halloween if I can do it."

Blaine hummed and kissed his temple. "I'll try and get out there whenever I can. Skype will be our new best friend and just imagine the amazing make out session when we see each other."

Kurt laughed and squeezed Blaine's body. "They will be very hot and heated." He propped himself up and leaned down to kiss his boyfriend deeply. He knew that this would be the last night they would have in weeks and screw his dad's rules, he was making this the most memorable night of his life and Blaine seemed to have the same idea.

"You know that tonight was the best night of my life?" Blaine asked from his spot as the bigger spoon an hour later, his nose buried into the back of Kurt's neck.

Kurt hummed and nuzzled back into Blaine's arms. "Mine too. I'm glad that we could share that before I left. Can you image what my dad would say if he found out that we had sex?"

"He'd probably shoot me with his shotgun," Blaine answered and they both laughed. He pulled Kurt closer and closed his eyes. "I'll sing to you tonight."

Kurt smiled and nodded his head. He turned and kissed Blaine's lips before settling back down. Blaine hummed softly before singing soothingly into his ear. Kurt relaxed and found himself fighting stay awake. "I love you," he mumbled incoherently.

Blaine smiled and continued to sing softly, stroking Kurt side soothingly. He knew that tonight was the last night he would be able to hold Kurt in his arms for a while and the thought made his heart ache. Kurt was his everything and to not be able to touch or kiss him for a length that could be months was terrifying. He pushed the thought away and nuzzled in closer to Kurt's sleeping body. "I love you too," he said before closing his eyes.

The morning was a hustle and bustle of movement. Kurt and Blaine didn't have time to talk or be together. Blaine had to get ready for school as Kurt was finishing his last minute packing. Before Blaine had to leave he pulled Kurt out of the house and onto the porch.

"I guess this is goodbye," Blaine said softly.

"No," Kurt immediately said. "I will never say goodbye to you. This is a see you later."

Blaine smiled and nodded. "Of course. I'll see you later." He reached out and held Kurt close to him. "I love you Kurt Hummel. Don't you go find another guy in that big city of yours."

Kurt rolled his eyes and pulled back. "No one will ever compare to you," he insisted. "I love you Blaine, with all my heart."

Blaine smiled and leaned forward, capturing Kurt's lips with his own. They moved together languidly and urgently before having to pull away to breath. "I love you too. I love you, Kurt Hummel."

Kurt let him go and before they could both break into tears, Blaine kissed his cheek and hurried down the sidewalk to his car. He stopped before getting in and blew a kiss to his boyfriend, who caught it with a smile. "I love you so much!" he called, tears slipping down his face.

Kurt smiled and waved weakly at him, trying to get something out but failing. He watched as Blaine got in the car and finally drove away. He was bawling when his dad found him in the kitchen. He pulled him in a hug and tried to calm him, but failing. Kurt was just upset.

Saying goodbye to his day was hard, not as hard as Blaine, but hard. He hurried into the airport and looked up to the board with times. This was it. Sure Rachel might not want him and Blaine would be here, but that wouldn't stop him. Would it? His stomach flipped and he debated turning around and running home to his dad and room.

He worried his lip between his teeth and was about to move when he heard, "Excuse me, I'm new here." He froze in his spot and his breath caught in his thought. It couldn't be.

He turned slowly and Blaine's smile was the first thing he saw. "What are you…" he trailed off, throwing himself at his boyfriend.

"Ooof," Blaine grunted when Kurt tackled him. They hugged tightly for what felt like forever until Kurt pulled away with questioning eyes. "Did you really think I wouldn't see you off? It's my free period and I got my butt over here as fast as I could."

Kurt smiled, the tears returning to his eyes. "Blaine," he cooed. "I'm so scared! I don't think I can do this. I'll just stay here and wait until you are able to go."

"Kurt Hummel," Blaine said firmly taking both Kurt's hands, "you are the most special person I've ever had the opportunity to meet. You blow me away every single day with how confident and ambitious you are. We knew that I wouldn't be going with you in the beginning of all this New York talk, but that doesn't mean that I'm not going to come. You will get out there and get with Rachel then forget all these idiotic nerves."

He paused and wiped a tear from Kurt's cheek. "You have wanted this for so long and what's stopping you? Your fear? Kurt Hummel has no fear. You wore a kilt to prom your junior year. You went up against the bullies last year to fight for senior class president. You are the most fearless person I know and for you to be scared of something as little as going to New York, is hard to believe. It's where you are meant to be."

"So you are going to go and get on that plane. You will find Rachel and she will jump at the chance to move in with you because you are her best friend. I have no doubt that you two will go and find an amazing apartment and settle there with everything you own. You will find this crazy job, because of how talented you are. Maybe it won't be in musical theatre, maybe it will, but you are so much more talented than you give yourself credit for. Just look at your wardrobe. New York City is the city that is famous for fashion, at least I think. Find something there because I know something is waiting. You got this."

Kurt had been crying since Blaine had shown up, but this was even worse. He was bawling like a baby, probably very unattractively. "I don't want to leave you. You make me feel so special and warm. You show me how amazing I am whenever I have a doubt. You cheer me up when I'm sad and pull me down when I'm a little too high. You make me, me, and I wouldn't ever want anyone else."

He stepped closer. "I'll wait until the end of time for you, Blaine. Don't you dare think I won't because I will. I won't look at any other guy because all I care about are ones in bowties and have the biggest, golden eyes I've ever seen. I'm yours and you're mine. I wouldn't ever have it any other way because we are meant to be together."

"I plan on living the rest of my life with you by my side and there's nothing you can do to get away because we're like a magnet. I'm the negative and you are the positive because you never seem to be unhappy. You have this smile on your face that always lights me up when you are near. You are my other half. You are my positive."

Blaine sucked in a breath and nodded. "So you are going to go and get on that plane. You will call me later so I know you are okay and you will take New York by storm because I know you will. You are Kurt freaking Hummel."

Kurt laughed and wiped his cheeks. "Just never change anything about yourself while we are apart because I love you. I know I say it all the time and it seems to lose its meaning, but-"

Lips cut Kurt off, soft plump lips that moved against his expertly. He threw his arms around Blaine's shoulder and just held him close. This was the goodbye he need. This was the sendoff that he only saw in movies. It was happening to him.

"It never loses its meaning," Blaine insisted pulling away. "It means everything to mean to hear you say it every single time. I love you too."

Kurt stepped back and nodded. Blaine helped him put the strap of his bag up on his shoulder. "You should get going."

Kurt looked at the gigantic clock on the wall and his eyes widened. "Oh crap, I have to go through security yet."

They looked at each other before launching back towards one another, kissing like there was no tomorrow. When Kurt pulled away he blushed and kissed Blaine's nose. "I love you."

"I love you too," Blaine said. He held his hand as Kurt turned to leave, letting it slip when he was out of reach. He waited until Kurt was at the gate to the metal detectors and flights to do it. He wanted to see the blush. "YOU MEAN THE WORLD TO ME KURT HUMMEL AND I'LL FIND MY WAY TO YOU IF IT'S THE LAST THING I DO!"

Kurt turned eyes wide as he blushed a bright red. The crowd was looking between the two and Kurt finally smiled. He blew a final kiss before he stepped through the gate and was gone from sight. Blaine smiled and looked down, tears falling freely. They were going to be okay.

A/N: I'M BACK! Yayayayayayayay! For those of you who know me it's nice that you came back and read my story! :) Those who are new… WELCOME! I always will have A/Ns at the end of each chapter to give my feelings about each episodes, mostly because I have no friends who like glee, so you are all I have. I missed writing. I have decided to post another story, which I will be posting a couple chapters of tonight. Go look!

So now we have The New Rachel… I'm so happy that Glee is back! It seriously is what gets me the week. It was so good! I was scared, not going to lie. I didn't know how I'd like it with NYADA being half of the episode and it all being about Rachel, but it was really good. I think the thing I hated about Rachel was the fact she was with Finn when she could get someone so much better… Like BRODY! I loved Kate/Cassandra! She so great! I LOVE Brody! He's so sweet and so cute. You don't even know. I can't wait for more of it and New York!

The new Rachel thing was sorta weird, but I understand why the people who wanted it wanted it. I understand Blaine, Tina, and Britt wanting and thinking they deserve it, but Wade just transferred. In the words of Finn, "Sit down." I think that it should have been Blaine's to begin with. He has the leadership skills. :)

"Barely covering his twinkle tube. And he's single? Hot." Was the best line of the whole show! I had to use it in this. Had to!

The reaction to Wade... Priceless and also my Reaction. Dislike Alex. Dislike Wade. Just ew. Blaine's like hell no! This is my glee club. Blaine's a hothead, but it's cute for him. I love it! Call Me Maybe. Just love. Blaine and Brittany. So sassy! Blaine's pose at the end. Oh god.

"You can't really scissor a webcam." Brittany! You don't say those type of things! But I love Blaine's disgusted look. Kurt's such a freaking cutie. I love him so much in that hat and scarf! Yummy. When Blaine goes to leave, the little call me gesture and Kurt's longing look. Shut the front door. So cute I almost died!

Wanted to punch Tina in the face like fourteen times, but still love her. Marley and her mom. Oh god. I cried like a baby. Her mom saying that she will pick her up away from the school. That's horrible! Jake is a cutie little baby! I swear his face is just so cute! Good voice. He not being able to finish the song was wrong Will! Throwing the stand was incredibly hot. ;)

Brochel is my new ship other than Klaine, Blam, Faberry, Hummelberry and Kum. There are others, but I can't think of the names. Brody not pushing Rachel and being supportive. Rachel forget Finn! He's perfect! I thought that Kurt telling them that it doesn't matter whose Rachel and to accept everyone needed to happen much sooner. matter and I love him for it. When Artie said Blaine was it I screamed so loud! I thought he would say Marley.

Kurt and Blaine having coffee. Both dressed perfectly. Blaine being the most sweet boyfriend ever! Their conversation is sweet. When the cups start Kurt's like what? And Blaine smirks. He points to the band and Kurt realizes what's about to happen! I melted into a pile of goo. When I saw the double ditch I was like, if Blaine does it I'm dead! And he did. Then Kurt sitting on the bench made me have cavities it was so cute. Then Kurt throwing himself at Blaine. God go jump off a cliff! Perfect scene even without a kiss

Burt and Kurt scene. Nope. Can't talk about it without crying. Wish that there was a Klaine goodbye but this was just as good. I couldn't put the scene in here because it was perfect. No one, and I mean no one, can tell me Blaine didn't see Kurt off. I had to do it. I know Darren wasn't even there to shoot it, but I had to do it. It made me smile writing it.

This was so long! Not all the notes will be, I promise. I just loved this episode so much. I know that when episode four comes around we will all be big piles of goo. We will be nothing, but it's okay. We all know Klaine is love. They are going to be together forever, even if they break up for a couple episodes.

Well this is it. I'm going to try to get Britney 2.0 loaded before Makeover airs. I hope you all love the start of this! Please review, follow, favorite. It helps me write quicker. You are all the best and amazing! Thanks to my beta Klaine913!

Final Note: Blaine and Artie are my favorite bromance on the show besides my all time favorite: Blam.
