Notes before reading: Pre-established Klaine? Kinda. This is going to be an AU in which Kurt started out at Dalton, with Blaine, and then transferred to McKinley. I'm going to be messing with the timeline a little. So you're going to see events from season one in this story. But the order is still similar to the show.

-.-.-.-

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

Blaine looked over at his roommate and best friend, Wes, who was giving him a concerned look. He nodded solemnly.

"But I thought you were happy with Kurt?"

"It's not that I'm not happy," Blaine answered. "I love hanging out with him and we always have a good time. But lately, whenever we spend time together, it's like we were back before we started dating, like we're just friends. It's like the spark or whatever that was between us was gone."

"Well, things have been busy lately," Wes said reasonably. "Finals are coming up and the school year is ending. Everyone's been so caught up in their work that they really don't have time for other things."

"Maybe," Blaine sighed. "But I don't think it's just that. I really don't know if my feelings for him are romantic anymore."

"When did you start feeling like the spark or whatever was dying?" Wes asked.

"I don't know," Blaine shrugged. "Maybe a month ago."

"A month ago? Isn't that when Kurt told you that he wasn't going to come back to Dalton next year?" Blaine could only shrug again in response.

"Blaine," Wes said in a calm voice. "Are you sure you want to break up with Kurt? I mean, you aren't just feeling this way because you're upset that he won't be here next year? It's not like he's moving far away. Lima is only a couple of hours from here."

"I don't know," Blaine answered honestly. "I love Kurt, I really do. He was my best friend before I asked him to be my boyfriend. But, what if the love I feel for him is nothing but platonic love?"

"Blaine," Wes let out a soft sigh. "You and Kurt have been dating almost the entire school year. Everyone in the school knew that the two of you would have gotten together since your freshman year. Don't you remember that? You spent the entire year dancing around your feelings for each other. Then you spent every day of the summer talking on the phone and talking on Skype.

"And then at the start of this year you finally got the courage to ask him out because the summer made you realize how much he really meant to you because you were going crazy not being able to see him."

"I wasn't going crazy," Blaine rolled his eyes at his friend.

"Yes you were," Wes insisted. "You can ask David. Every time we hung out, you always mentioned Kurt or were always texting him. And no matter what we were doing, whenever your phone went off, you'd always stop just to reply to him."

Blaine couldn't help but smile a little. But, then he remembered what they had originally been talking about and the frown returned to his face. "He's transferring next year. These last few weeks of school are all we have left to see him."

"Don't be so dramatic," Wes reached over and playfully punched Blaine in the shoulder. "Kurt is just going to a different school, not a different country. He isn't even leaving the state. Like I said, Lima is only two hours away. You could still see him every day if you wanted. And, you're getting your license once you get back home, aren't you? You could drive down to see him whenever."

"Even if it is only two hours away, it's still pretty much going to be a long distance relationship," Blaine ran a hand through his hair. "And you know how they say those never work. And, Kurt and I have been dating for what, seven months now? That's pretty long as far as high school relationships go. And high school relationships never last."

"You've been watching too many drama shows," Wes teased. "Okay, sure, most high school relationships don't last, and sure, long distance relationships don't always work out, but I believe that you and Kurt can work through it. You love each other."

"It's true though. And, we're only sophomores right now. How do we even know that we're mature enough to handle a long distance thing? I've got Warblers and soccer next year plus a couple AP and Honors classes. And I don't know what Kurt's planning to take at his new school, but I'm pretty sure it'll keep him busy. How can we balance all of that?"

"You've been giving this a lot of thought, haven't you?"

"It's all I could think about since he told me he wasn't coming back," Blaine admitted. "I really do love him. And I don't want to lose him. But, I also don't want the not being able to see each other ruin whatever we have between us."

"Are you really going to break up with him?" Wes asked in a quiet voice.

Blaine nodded. "I've already thought it out. If I break it off now, we can have the entire summer to recover since we won't see each other."

"Blaine, are you sure?"

"I'm as sure as I'll ever be."

-.-.-.-

After Warblers' practice, Blaine led Kurt outside to the grounds. They still had some time before they were supposed to be back in their rooms. He had spent the last week figuring out what he was going to say to Kurt. He had decided to do it once all exams were over so that it wouldn't affect their studying. Kurt walked silently beside him. Blaine stopped when they reached the fountain in the middle of the school courtyard. He led Kurt to a nearby bench and the two of them sat down.

"Kurt," Blaine turned to the smaller boy beside him. "I really don't know how to start this…"

"Start what?" Kurt asked him curiously.

"I think we should break up." Blaine had an entire speech planned out, but none of the words had come to him.

"W-what?" Blaine saw the shock and hurt in the boy's eyes. He had to turn away before he took back what he said just to see Kurt smile again. He had to do this.

"Kurt, I love you," Blaine started. He reached out to stroke Kurt's cheek and felt a pang of pain in his chest when the boy flinched away.

"I love you," Blaine repeated. "And I care for you deeply. But I don't think we should be in a relationship anymore."

"Is this because I'm transferring next year?" Kurt asked with a slight waver in his voice.

"I'm sorry, Kurt." Blaine's heart broke a little when he saw the tears starting to form in Kurt's eyes. "But you know that long distance relationships hardly ever work out."

"We could make it work!" Kurt insisted. "We're both getting our licenses. We could always drive to see each other. It's only a few hours."

"The both of us are going to be busy next year." Blaine said reasonably. "We won't have time to see each other much. I'd hate to see what would happen to us if the distance and time apart become too much. It could ruin our relationship."

Kurt remained silent. Blaine wanted to look at his eyes, to try and figure out what he was thinking, but the boy was staring at the ground and refused to look at him.

"I care about you and I always want you to be a part of my life, even if it is just as a friend."

"So you're saying you want to be friends?" Kurt let out a watery laugh. "How many relationships have said that they were going to stay friends but that never worked out?"

"That isn't going to happen with us," Blaine moved closer to Kurt, but the boy moved away. Blaine thought he felt his heart break just a little more. "I promise you, Kurt, that no matter what happens, I'll always be there for you. You were my best friend first and nothing will ever change that."

Kurt let out a small sob and Blaine felt the tears form in his eyes at the sound.

"Fine,: Kurt stood up. Blaine stood up with him.

"Kurt, please,"

"No," Kurt shook his head and a few tears fell down his pale cheeks. Blaine reached out to wipe them and was glad that Kurt didn't move away this time. "I get it. We'll be friends."

Kurt moved away from Blaine.

"Let me walk you back to your room," Blaine offered.

"No," Kurt's voice was shaking. "I…I want to be alone right now."

Blaine watched as Kurt walked away from him and disappeared into the dorm building. With every step Kurt took, Blaine felt his heart break a little more. He didn't want to do this, but he knew that in the end, this would be the better choice. At least this way, they can remain friends and Kurt will always be a part of his life.

-.-.-.-

When Wes returned to his room later that night, he was surprised to see all the lights out. He flipped the light switch and saw that Blaine was in his bed, under the covers. At first, Wes had assumed that he was asleep, but then he heard a muffled sob.

Wes instantly walked over to the bed and sat down beside his friend. He put a comforting hand on Blaine's back. "Blaine?"

"I did it," Blaine mumbled from under the covers. His voice sounded hoarse, like he'd been crying for a while. Wes frowned. He didn't have to ask to know what Blaine meant. Tomorrow was the last day of school and he figured that Blaine would have talked to Kurt by now.

"It's okay," Wes said softly. Blaine pushed the covers away and Wes saw him. His heart went out to his friend. Blaine's hair was disheveled and his eyes were blood shot and puffy from all the crying and his nose was running a little. Wes didn't hesitate to take his friend into his arms and let him cry into his shoulder. Wes rubbed comforting circles on Blaine's back and the boy shook with the force of his sobs.

"It's okay," Wes repeated. "It's going to be okay."

Wes could only hope that his words were true. Blaine might not be able to see it now, but Wes knew that he and Kurt were meant for each other. Wes had seen enough relationships around this school to know that they don't always last; hell, he had been in a few relationships himself. But Kurt and Blaine were different. They looked at each other with gazes that were filled with nothing but pure love for the other. They were going to get back together. Wes was willing to bet everything he owned on that.

-.-.-.-

This started off as an idea that came to me in class one day that just wouldn't leave. After that, I just kept picturing a bunch of different scenes that could fit into this story. Future chapters will be longer because it's going to show how Kurt is coping with the separation, as well as how Blaine is dealing with it.

Anyway, I wasn't going to get this out until maybe next week or so, after I finished with the last chapter of Just a Game. But, I just wanted to get this out so see how people are going to receive it before I get too into writing it. So, please leave a review and let me know if you think I should continue this or not.
