Chapter I: Love Will Find A Way
A.N.: So firstly I can't believe that this tiny little idea for a one shot turned into all this and I want to thank all of you who read, favorite, reviewed or put the story on alert (meaning 'What Is And What Should Never Be') so so much for making this happen, thank you, thank you, thank you!
And second…I promised you a sequel so here goes, I really hope you'll enjoy it *lessthan3*
Story Notes: Yeah so…this is the sequel to the 3rd version of the ending…and if you haven't read 'What Is And What Should Never Be' it will most likely make absolutely no sense…because a lot is different…soo…you might wanna check it out first…
For fans of Dave Karofsky: This story is purely Klaine, I love Klaine it's my OTP without question…but as for Karofsky and the Kurtofsky bit in this…I don't dislike him, and I don't want to offend anyone so if you're a Kurtofsky fan, please know that I like Dave and I really want him to be happy, just not with Blaine or Kurt…but…this is a Klaine story so…yeah…just thought I'd clear that up…
Disclaimer: I don't own Glee or anyone that has anything to do with it…*sadface*
Soo…that's it from me :D
Enjoy!
Chapter Notes:"…They can have the world
We'll create our own
I may not be brave or strong or smart
But somewhere in my secret heart I know
Love will find a way
Anywhere I go I'm home
If you are there beside me
Like dark turning into day
Somehow we'll come through
Now that I've found you
Love will find a way…"
Love Will Find A Way – The Lion King II: Simba's Pride
The two boys just sat across of each other in silence, both deep in thought, until Kurt broke the silence with a question they had both been dreading to ask.
"Blaine…how do we go on now? I mean,…I know we can't just forget about each other, but it's just as true that we can't just blurt out that we are together out of the blue, they'll have us committed faster than we can say 'Mad as a hatter…'. How do we do this? What should we do…?"
It was obvious to Blaine that the younger boy was just as terrified of the possibilities as he was, and he wished he could offer him some sort of comfort, some sort of 'How To Make It Through In A Strange Reality'- guide or something like that, but if he was honest he was just as lost as Kurt. The only thing he knew was that he couldn't lose Kurt again.
"Ok…let's just focus on the here and now for the moment." Blaine started softly, taking Kurt's hands in his own. "We will have to exchange our cellphone numbers so we can stay in contact with each other, but we have to be careful, because I am pretty sure Sheila is the kind of girlfriend who would check on my phone."
Kurt nodded slowly and took the phone Blaine handed to him, handing him his in return. They typed their respective numbers into the devices and took pictures of each other and adding ringtones to complete the contacts.
"Ok…now…" Blaine frowned, it was a good start, but nothing else.
"I think I will try and talk to someone about it, see if I can find someone to help me…" Kurt said lowly "I don't know if I can keep up the façade as Karofsky's boyfriend for long, but I have the bad feeling that things will go awry of I don't…" he trailed of as he noticed Blaine's deathgrip on his hand. "Baby are you ok?" he asked softly.
"I'm…fine…I…" Blaine pressed out clearly trying to regain his composure "No I'm not…" he finally admitted, sounding a little defeated as he hazel eyes bore into Kurt's glasz ones. "It's just…the thought of him…kissing you…touching you…like that…it's…"
Kurt understood fully well what Blaine meant even though the other boy didn't finish his statement. If it was hard for him to think of Blaine being with someone else he didn't even know, a girl nonetheless, it had to be so much harder for Blaine to think of him being with Karofsky of all people.
"I know baby…I know…" Kurt whispered soothingly, pulling his hands out of Blaine's painful grip, just to rub gentle circles in the back of Blaine's hands.
Blaine relaxed a little.
"I just…" he started but broke off, realizing that it was of no use.
There was another question that had been bugging him ever since he had found out about Kurt and Dave and he just had to ask it even if he didn't know if he wanted to know the answer: "Do you think that the two of you have already had…erm…" he trailed off, blushing.
"I don't know…" Kurt replied earnestly "I guess we may have, he seems to be a very physical person after all so…" the brunette shook his head "I don't know if he would have been as willing to wait as you have been…I don't think he would have pressured me into that" he hurried to assure Blaine who looked about ready to explode "But I think he might have talked me into…geez Blaine I don't know ok? For all I know this is all just a very very weird dream…" he sighed then looked deeply into Blaine's eyes "Did you and Sheila…?"
"I don't know…" Blaine answered "I've been asking myself the same thing…and to be honest it seems likely…although even the thought of it makes me…" he shuddered. "I would never betray you Kurt…I couldn't…I couldn't hurt you like that…I swear I…you're the only one I want…"
Kurt smiled weakly at that.
"It's ok…" he assured his boyf…ok what were they exactly right now?... "I know you would never do that…and I want you to know that the same goes for me…I will not do anything with Karofsky…because I want the first time I remember to be with you…" Kurt blushed heavily under the look Blaine was giving him at that. "I love you."
"I love you too…" Blaine replied his eyes never leaving Kurt's, wanting to make sure the message came across.
"Blaine…I…we…what are we now? Where do we stand? I mean…I'd love to say you're my boyfriend but…you're not…he is…and…you're not with me…you're with her…" Kurt said, a little sadness creeping into his voice.
He hoped that Blaine wouldn't notice, not wanting to add to the other boy's burdens, but of course Blaine did notice.
"Oh baby…" he sighed "I know that technically I am with her…but I honestly ain't…because the only one I'm with…the only one I want to be with is you...just you…" Blaine promised "And no hot cheerleader chick is gonna change that…you look better in that uniform anyways…"
Kurt laughed at that and to Blaine, who joined in quickly, it was the most beautiful sound in the world right now.
"We should better get going…" Kurt sighed as he glanced at his watch.
Blaine only sighed in response.
"Yeah…"
Even though they both knew what they should be doing neither of them wanted to move, wanted to end this not now that they had finally found each other again.
They got up anyways, walking to their cars hand in hand, stopping in the dark and empty parking lot, turning to face each other, their hands still intertwined.
"Can I…can I call you later?" Kurt asked tentatively, asking exactly what Blaine had been about to ask.
"Yeah…definitely…" Blaine answered, pulling the slightly taller boy in for a long, almost desperate kiss.
As they broke away for air, Kurt brought their foreheads together.
"I really have to go I don't want dad to be worried."
"Mhh…" Blaine sighed.
Kurt stepped away, but he was pulled back against Blaine's chest in no time.
"I really love you…" Blaine said, kissing him gently.
"I love you, too." Kurt replied, before he finally got in his car.
Blaine got into his mustang and the two boys rove away to their respective homes, each with a laughing and a crying eye. Laughing because they still each other through all this and crying because they knew it would be hard for them to make it through.

When Blaine got home dinner was long over and, much to his convenience, Sheila had left. As he was about to go upstairs to his room his dad called for him and Blaine walked back downstairs slowly, a little worried.
As it turned out his worry had been unnecessary since his dad had only wanted to tell him that he wouldn't be able to make it to his game tomorrow night for the first time and that he knew Blaine would do great anyways, but that he would make it up to him by spending the entire Saturday with just Blaine, no work no nothing.
It was safe to say that Blaine was stunned. No word about leaving Sheila just like that nothing, just honest regret that he wouldn't be able to make it to the game. He hadn't even known that he could have this kind of relationship with his father. It was…stunning. Had him being gay really been the only thing that had damaged their relationship?
When he got back to his room he texted Wes and David, telling them what had happened, before he got ready for bed, waiting for Kurt to call, while he thought about what he had learned about his father today.
xxXxxXxxXxx
Burt didn't scold Kurt when he came home late, he just hugged him tightly and asked him to sit down in the empty living room with him for a moment.
"What is wrong Kurt?" he asked lowly.
"I…nothing…" the boy replied, not quite meeting his father's eyes.
"I can tell that you're lying you know?"
"I…dad…it's…complicated…you will think I'm crazy…it's impossible to believe…" Kurt sighed.
"Well I remember a little boy who once told me about his favorite book and that I should start believing 6 impossible things before breakfast…" Burt smiled softly.
Kurt looked up at him, surprised. He remembered that, too. It had been shortly after his mother had died, she had always read the book to him as one of her favorites. His father had just seemed to think it impossible for either of them to be happy ever again. So little Kurt had cited the book. He would have never assumed…
"Oh dad…" he sobbed, throwing himself into his father's arms.
Burt just held him until his sobs abated. Kurt pulled away a little and started telling his father the whole story. When he finished he looked up at his father's through worried eyes.
"So…think I'm crazy now?" he asked only half jokingly.
Burt smiled again at the obvious worry in his son's voice and eyes. He put his hand to Kurt's forehead, looking at him sternly as he pulled it back.
"I'm afraid so…" he started "You're mad…bonkers…off your head…" he leaned a little closer "But I'll tell you a secret" he leaned in to whisper into Kurt's ear "All the best people are…"
Kurt laughed gratefully, hugging his father again.
"Thank you dad…" he whispered.
"It's ok kid…I just want you to know that you can always tell me everything ok? I never liked his Karofsky kid anyways…he just didn't same right for you…I always figured that was how it was supposed to be, that I was supposed to think no one was good enough for you, but I guess I wasn't that far out of left field with that one after all huh?"
"Do you really believe…" Kurt looked at his father "Do you really believe that Blaine and I…could be…" he broke off, unable to ask the question.
"I don't know this Blaine persona…but…the look you had on your face when you told me about him, the way your eyes lit up and your voice suddenly sounded different…it tells me that you two have something real…you know how I know that?" Burt asked.
"How…?" Kurt wanted to know
"Because it is the exact same thing that happens to me when I talk about your mother, or about Carole…the same look that was also on your mother's face whenever she looked at you and me when we got home dirty form working in the garage all day. That's how." Burt explained.
"Thanks dad." Kurt whispered, his throat closing up.
"I just want you to know that I'm here for you kid…I won't lie to you, I have no idea what this is with you and that Blaine kid, but if you need me I'm here."
Kurt hugged his father again. After a little more chit chat they decided to go to sleep, but not after Kurt hugging his father one more time to thank him. For everything.
xxXxxXxxXxx
As soon as he was ready for bed Kurt pulled out his phone and dialed Blaine's number, hoping that the other boy hadn't fallen asleep already. He wasn't disappointed.
"Hey Kurt…" Blaine voice sounded over the speaker.
"Hey baby…sorry it took me so long, but I talked to my dad about everything…" Kurt answered apologetically.
"It's ok…I guessed as much…so…what's the verdict?" Blaine tried to sound nonchalant, but Kurt knew that the raven was just as nervous as he had been.
So he just told Blaine everything him and his dad had talked about.
A long while later their conversation was interrupted by a yawn from Kurt.
"Oh dear…I'm sorry baby…I didn't mean to keep you awake…" Blaine said, wincing as he looked at the clock on his wall showing that it was well past 3am.
"No no…" Kurt panicked "Please don't hang up."
"I won't." Blaine promised "What's wrong?" he asked, sensing that something was bothering his boyf…well he settled on calling him his Kurt for the moment, at least until they had worked this out.
"I…it's stupid…but I'm afraid of going to sleep…afraid of what will be when I wake up…" Kurt confessed.
It was nothing that hadn't crossed Blaine's mind. He too was worried about what would happen, was scared of waking up with Kurt completely gone or whatever the world could come up with.
"I understand…but we have to sleep…" he sighed "Oh…I have a game at 6:30pm at my school tonight…wanna come?" he asked before his brain really caught up with what he was saying.
Kurt didn't seem to mind at all though, quite the contrary, he seemed pleased that Blaine still considered him his boyfriend, which in turn pleased Blaine to no end.
"Sure…I'll see what I can do…" Kurt replied happily.
"Cool."
After a moment of silence Kurt spoke again.
"Can we just stay on the phone while we sleep?" he asked almost shyly.
"Yeah…yeah we'll do that." Blaine agreed o the idea eagerly.
They were quiet again after that, just listening to the sound of each other's breathing as they slowly drifted off to sleep, unsure of what would expect them when they woke up.
