Kurt stood by the door of the bedroom. He looked at his fiancée and sighed heavily. Kurt sat on the side of the bed and touched Blaine's shoulder. "Blaine wake up." Kurt said shaking him gently. "Mmmph" Blaine replied sleepily. Kurt bit his lip, maybe if he didn't wake up Blaine he wouldn't have to leave. Blaine opened his eyes and looked up at Kurt and smiled weakly. "Good morning." Kurt said with a weak smile. Blaine sat up and pulled Kurt to his chest and kissed his head. Kurt snuggled close and closed his eyes. "Do you have to leave?" Kurt said trying not to cry. Blaine bit his lip. "I'll be back soon I promise I'll be back before you know it." Blaine said trying to convince Kurt and himself. Blaine looked at the clock and sighed. "I have to get dressed Hun." Blaine said kissing Kurt's ear. Kurt let Blaine up and watched him walk to the bathroom. The water started and steam poured out of the door. Kurt walked into the laundry room and pulled out Blaine's new uniform. Kurt's eyes filled with tears as he laid the crinkled uniform on the bed. Home before you know it… Kurt reminded himself as Blaine walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist. He didn't know what to say. Neither of them did.
About an hour later Blaine was standing on the porch. His uniform fit a little big and his hair was curly and unruly something Kurt still hadn't gotten over. "I-I'll miss you." Kurt said looking at his fiancée with tears welling up in his eyes. Blaine pulled Kurt into a tight hug and kissed the top of his head. "I'll be home before you know it." Blaine whispered softly into his ear. He let go and walked down the steps of the porch. "I love you!" Kurt called to him. Blaine blew Kurt a kiss and got into the van. Kurt could barely watch Blaine, the love of his life drive away. It would be three years until they would kiss again or sing or cuddle together but he had promised Blaine he would be strong. Blaine was going to Iraq. His baby was going to Iraq.
