Somewhere only we know.
Kurt bites his lip as he watches Blaine finish the song. His boyfriend's beautiful, hazel eyes fill with tears as he drops the last note, and Kurt knows he's not going to be able to hold back much longer.
"We wanted - I needed -" Blaine's stammering, and Kurt's heart breaks when he sees the tears start to fall.
He understands what the shorter boy is trying to say as he tucks a stray curl back into the neatly gelled mass of curls.
"I know." Kurt feels tears pricking his own eyes. He reaches over and gently takes Blaine's hand in his own. "I know, Blaine."
He knows what Blaine is trying to say because he feels the same. In the past month that he and Blaine have been dating, his feelings have only grown stronger. He also knows that the fact that he transfered back a week ago puts a definite strain on their relationship, but he doesn't care.
Honestly he wants nothing more than to kiss Blaine senseless and assure him that they'll be okay. He fights down half of that desire, the memory of his boyfriend's almost-fight with Karofsky two weeks ago still very clear in his mind.
He has no desire to see Blaine get hurt.
So instead, Kurt pulls him into a hug, wrapping both arms securely around him and allowing Blaine to bury his face in his chest. Blaine's shoulders shake slightly, and it's then that Kurt finally lets tears of his own fall.
"I - I don't want to lose you." Blaine mumbles.
"It's okay." he murmurs, rubbing Blaine's back gently. "I promise - this - this isn't the end of the road for us."
"How do you know?"
Kurt simply chuckles and pulls back from the hug, and smiles gently.
"It's a feeling." he says simply.
Blaine's eyes, still glassy with tears, widen, and he sees a mixture of emotion rush across the counter-tenor's pale face.
"I love you." he breathes, feeling brave enough for the first time in a month to say it. "You don't have to say it back...but I - I want you to know..."
He trails off, blushing slightly. Kurt's jaw drops slightly, then curves into a genuine smile. He leans forward and lets his lips brush gently against Blaine's cheek.
"I love you too." he whispers.
Blaine smiles. He reaches over and wraps his hand around Kurt's.
They stand like that, flanked by both New Directions and the Warblers, until the bell rings, signaling that it's time for Kurt to head to class, and time for Blaine to leave.
They let go reluctantly, and Blaine promises to call him after school.
Mercedes smiles at him in class later.
"Nice way to seal your comeback, huh?" she says.
He can't help but nod.
Yes, it certainly was.
fin.
