Disclaimer: If I owned Glee... OH MY GAGA I've just turned into Ryan Murphy! JUST KIDDING! because if I actually did turn into him I'd be seriously freaked out... I mean to suddenly age and change gender FREAKY! but I am a girl, which means I'm not Ryan Murphy so therefore I don't own Glee.

Candles:

Chapter 1: There's a GAPing Hole in my Heart-

First off, Kurt wasn't in love with Blaine. He'd passed that a LONG time ago. No, now he was totally, completely, obsessively in love with him – and not in the creepy way. But nothing will ever come of it; Blaine just didn't see Kurt the way Kurt saw him. Not yet anyway. It was cute, the way he stared at Blaine. But that all changed with the 'GAP debacle of 2011'. Blaine obviously liked this guy a lot, so Kurt would put his feelings aside for his sake. That was the right thing to do right? And it was.

One Month Later-

Blaine was seriously depressed about the GAP guy. Kurt couldn't just sit there and watch. No, he'd cheer Blaine up no matter what it took. On Friday after Warbler practice, Kurt walked over to Blaine, grabbed his arm, and started tugging him out of the now-empty common room.

"Kurt? Kurt, where are we going?" Blaine asked.

Kurt smiled. "Out."

Blaine frowned. "But…I…Kurt-" he started but was cut off by Kurt putting his hand over Blaine's mouth.

Kurt bent his head down slightly. "Shh… Just be quiet. It'll all be okay…" Kurt whispered into his ear. Blaine was shocked at Kurt's actions. Kurt gave him a Do-Not-Even-TRY-to-Speak look. Blaine nodded his head.

About an hour later they were pulling into the crowded mall parking lot. Kurt smirked at Blaine, and Blaine just stared back, a mortified expression on his face. "K-Kurt, w-why are we-we here?" he stuttered out. Kurt sighed, but didn't speak for a while.

"Come on," Kurt finally said. Soon he was opening the passenger door and pulling Blaine out of the car.

Soon enough they were standing in front of the GAP, Blaine looking utterly fearful. "I hate this place…" Kurt muttered under his breath. He grabbed Blaine's hand and pulled him to the door. "You can do this," the taller boy whispered into Blaine's ear.

"B-but what if I can't?" Blaine whispered back.

"You can, and you will." Kurt gave Blaine's hand an encouraging squeeze. Blaine nodded and stepped inside tentatively.

There he was, Jeremiah, the cause of Blaine's heartache. Kurt absolutely despised the GAP, and it wasn't because of Jeremiah. Okay, so maybe a large portion of it was because of him, but their clothes just didn't interest or compel him. Nonetheless, this was for Blaine. He tugged on Blaine's hand, aimlessly looking through the clothes and squeezing it every now and again. Blaine sucked in a deep breath when Jeremiah came toward them. "Can I help you?" Jeremiah asked, obviously not noticing who he was talking to. Kurt looked over at Blaine, taking in his utterly crushed look.

Kurt sighed. "Tell Jeremiah EXACTLY how you feel," he said. It absolutely crushed him to see Blaine in that kind of pain.

Kurt squeezed Blaine's hand again and whispered, "Courage!" into his ear. Blaine nodded in agreement, remembering all those times he had told Kurt to face his fears and not to let others get him down.

"Jeremiah…" he started.

Jeremiah turned to Blaine, taking in the situation. "H-hey Blaine…" Jeremiah stuttered out, slightly stepping backwards into a rack of clothes.

"He has something he wants to tell you," Kurt interjected.

"Umm…Okay…" Jeremiah said.

"Y-y-you seriously hurt me…" Blaine trailed off with a pained expression. Blaine sighed then began to speak again. "You broke my heart actually…" he choked out.

Jeremiah looked shocked. "I-I'm so sorry Blaine…" he stuttered out.

"Sorry doesn't make up for the fact that it still hurts!" Blaine yelled. "Gosh… It hurts all the time! It never stops no matter how much I want it to," he whispered.

Tears had begun to fall freely down Blaine's cheeks; he looked at Kurt. Kurt had a sad expression but gave Blaine a reassuring smile and squeezed his hand. Jeremiah began to speak but was cut off by Blaine. "Don't. I'm done with this and you," he said. Kurt sighed, taking in the sight of Blaine's pain. Blaine looked up, tears still evident in his eyes. "One day you'll see me with someone else," he said looking at Kurt, "And you'll be sorry you passed me by." Blaine turned abruptly and grabbed Kurt's hand. "C'mon Kurt," he said, and pulled him out of the store. Jeremiah stared after them, his expression sad and - already - regretful.

An hour after they left the GAP they were back at Dalton. Kurt eventually got Blaine to his dorm room, where Blaine fell on his bed in exhaustion as Kurt went into the bathroom. By the time Kurt reemerged Blaine was fast asleep. Kurt sighed and said, "Blaine… When will you ever realize how much I love you?" After pulling a blanket over Blaine's sleeping form, Kurt turned on his heels and headed back to his room.
