You Have My Heart

Klaine AU

Kurt has a deadly illness that is slowly eating away at his most vital organ—his heart. With some tricky surgery and a little luck, he finds that maybe courage goes a long way.

Rated M For: suggestive sexual content, language

Reviews? :)

"Beep. Beep. Beep." The steady sound of Kurt's heart beat was slightly comforting, yet completely draining at the same time. He knew it was bad, and he knew there would most likely be no cure. He had been around the entire U.S trying to figure out what was wrong with him. Every beep emitted from the machine meant another second he was here on earth—because at the moment that time seemed extremely limited.

The tiny boy didn't dare move. He knew that movement of any sort only caused him pain. He wanted to stay here in oblivion, with his eyes clamped shut. Here, he could be anything he wanted. Many times he found himself thinking about what could have happened. He would see himself upon a huge, lit stage. His outfit would be outrageous, covered in silver sequins sending rays of light to dance across the stage alongside him. There was a microphone in his hand—there always was. He was probably belting out the last note of his own hit Broadway musical.

Sighing, he knew these were mere fantasies. He had accepted the fact long ago that he was incurable. He knew that his days were limited, so he made the best of it. He would play games with his family, gossip with his friends, watch pirated Broadway musicals with Rachel. Sometimes, he would feel a spark of hope. Like, maybe, he would be normal again.

As a sharp pain passed through his chest, he knew he would never be normal again.

Kurt was clutching his father's hand for dear life. The doctor, a young dark skinned male, was spouting out random facts about his disorder. Kurt, however, was barely registering anything he was saying. He would catch random snippets, such as "possibilities" and "sugery" but most of all, "extremely dangerous."

Kurt was diagnosed with a rare disease named Ulpherioma. It was a bacteria that, literally, was eating his heart. There were no known cures for the disease. However, there was an extremely risky surgery that had only recently been discovered. Much like stem cell research, if a compatible partner was found, tissue from the healthy heart could be transplanted into the infected heart. The tissue, assuming it worked correctly, would attach itself to the damaged tissue, and through cellular division healthy tissue would take the place of tissue being degraded.

Basically, they could cut off a chunk of some stranger's heart and stick it in Kurt and hope it works.

As the doctor looked quizzically at the two men, Burt finally looked his son in the eye. Silently, they both knew that it must be tried. They knew it was their only chance, and the odds were far better than letting Kurt simply rot.

And so papers were signed, handshakes were exchanged, and Kurt was once again swept away as nurses prodded his veins and did many, many blood tests.

Maybe, Kurt thought to himself, he would finally have another boy's heart. Chuckling at his own joke, he drifted off once more into oblivion.

It's gonna be a multi-chapter fic:D
