I've been watching war films recently so I thought I'd have a go at this...

Enjoy.


"Blaine?" Kurt turned his head both ways in a rush as he pushed past other men all jumping up from whatever they had been doing: sleeping, writing letters home, some even in the toilets and bathrooms. Kurt didn't care who got in his way, he was determined he would find Blaine.

"Have you seen Blaine? Dave! Answer me! Where did you last see him?" Kurt was tugging at the poor mans shoulders trying to rattle an answer out of him.

"Urgh, um, I mean, um, I haven't seen him since last night." The man gulped, Kurt realised the man was just as scared and shocked as he was.
Kurt just gave him a nod and continued pushing past who ever was in his way.

He would find Blaine.


4 Months earlier...

"Do you think America will go to war?" Kurt asked as he shoved a grape into his mouth as he lay on his bed surrounded by pillows looking at his boyfriend who was sat at the opposite end.

"I dunno, I hope it doesn't because that'll just cause too many problems for everyone but with all the problems and other countries tied up in this mess, I think it's the only option to be honest." Blaine caught a grape that Kurt threw his way.

"It'll be scary too, you know I hate stuff like guns and anything that equals death or loud explosions and just.." Kurt shook his head to erase the thoughts going through his very imaginative mind, "will you go to war if they need us to join up?" Kurt placed the grapes down and crawled up to Blaine so he could rest his head on him.

Blaine played with Kurt's hair and looked down at him, "well, my Dad says that I definitely should, he believes that I would be a good member of this countries team and he says that America needs all the support she can get so I probably would but there's one thing that gets in the way of all of that."

Kurt sat up a little, "and what would that be?"

"You." A smile broke at the corner of Blaine's mouth.

"What do you mean?" Kurt asked, looking confused.

"If joining the army meant leaving you behind and more than likely never seeing you agin then no, I would not join up." Blaine pulled Kurt closer and went to kiss his cheek but Kurt turned to Blaine smiling softly.

"What if I joined up with you?" Kurt raised an eyebrow.

Blaine started to laugh but then looked up at Kurt to realise that his boyfriend was being serious. "What?! Babe, you wake me up in the middle of the night because there's a spider on the wall and you need me to kill it. How would you ever cope with war?!" Blaine was still finding this funny.

"I'd have you." Kurt looked a little down hearted that his boyfriend was mocking him about this because he was seriously considering joining up and trying to be brave.

"But there's no guarantee that we would be together at duty baby! And I'd rather be with you at home than know you might be dead somewhere! We're only nineteen Kurt, imagine if we died, your dad would never cope, in fact, he wouldn't even allow you to go in the first place!" Blaine got more serious as he thought about it but it was clear to him that Kurt was trying to be courageous and that was something he had taught Kurt. Right?


It was three weeks after Kurt and Blaine had spoken about signing up for war when the president of the United States had announced immediate action for army recruitment. All men needed to sign up as soon as possible and get straight into training in army based camps and woman with medical experience needed to register for nursing. Other jobs such as chefs, machinists and experienced pilots were also needed filling and on going training was in process.

Blaine's father had told him he had to sign up because "young, fit men needed to serve there country." But Blaine would not be signing up alone. Cooper Anderson was also going to put his dramatic acting to the test.
Both brothers had been given their uniform and were told to get straight to a training camp as soon as possible, they both walked down their street after saying their goodbyes with a huge bag with everything they would need.

"You ready for this?" Cooper looked at his younger, and smaller, brother.

"Are you?"

"I asked you first." Cooper tried to keep the same old witty and sarcastic character about himself.

"I'm absolutely shitting myself." Blaine looked at the floor as they carried on walking.

"Same here."

Blaine looked up and starred at his older brother. For the first time in their lives, Cooper Anderson had admitted he was fearful and doubting himself. Blaine was shocked by this but patted his brother on the back and looked into his brothers eyes, "we'll be okay Coop. We'll be okay."

After twenty minutes of walking, Blaine handed his bag to Cooper, "I'll be back in a sec."

Cooper sat down on the kerb and pushed his hair away from his face. "Okay."

Blaine knocked at the door of a house he had spent almost everyday at since getting to know the family that lived there.

He heard a faint, "that'll be Blaine," from behind the door and it slowly opened.

"You ready for this?"

"Cooper just asked the same question.. I'll give you the same answer. I'm absolutely shitting myself."

"Me too."

Blaine stepped inside the house and pulled the other boy closer to him and wrapped his arms around him, "I promise I'll look after you Kurt. I promise."
Kurt whispered, "I know you will." And with that, Blaine took Kurt's hand and pulled him gently out the door.

"Kurt, I love you and I'm proud of you." Burt reluctantly said behind him.

"You don't have to pretend dad, I know you're still pissed." Kurt gripped Blaine's hand harder.

Burt had hated the idea of his son going off to fight, he didn't want another family member dying on him, he didn't deserve to suffer and neither did Kurt, they had been up for countless nights arguing and screaming at each other but eventually, Burt had given in. Kurt had been physically training for weeks since the talk he had with Blaine and he had been preparing for it. He was adamant he was going to war with his boyfriend, Burt was scared that Kurt was only doing this for Blaine but he also had a feeling that if he said yes to Kurt going, then within two minutes of setting off, he would change his mind and run back into his dads arms and say, "you were right, I can't do it dad." But after seeing how confident his son had become, after watching him go through college and not thinking he could handle that, he finally decided to let him go.

"You're not a boy any more Kurt, your a man. And I'm proud of you. I'm gonna miss you and I'll be expecting letters from you every week. I love you."

Kurt released his hand from Blaine's and threw his arms around his dad, "I love you too and I promise you'll get a letter every week. I'll miss you too, goodbye."

"Goodbye Kurt."

Before either of them cried, Kurt walked away hand in hand with Blaine and took one more glance at his dad and smiled. All three boys finally set off and none of them regretted their choice, they were going to be heroes and fight for their countries! At least that was their thought, just for now...
