Return to You
Don't Leave
Kurt woke up in the middle of the night when he felt Blaine turn and snuggle up to Kurt. His arms were draped around over his sides and his head lay limp against his back. He let out a small moan as he resettled himself and Kurt felt his cheeks flourish. He relaxed in Blaine's gentle touch.
He wanted to remember. Wanted to remember sooo badly. All the times he'd missed out on. All the love he had forgotten. How he and Blaine enjoyed many firsts together. Kurt wanted to know the man beside him.
He knew that young Blaine must love him very much to put the time and energy into aiding him in the process of remembrance.
Kurt woke the next day to a bright morning. A bouquet rested at the end of his bed where his toes nudged the bed rail. He sat up and stretched down to his toes, receiving a pop in his back contently, and picked up the roses gently. He removed an attached card nudged within the petals.
You probably don't remember, but you're favorite designed flower
centerpiece contained cream roses surrounding a sunflower tied with a blue ribbon to match your lovely eyes.
Don't worry, we'll get there.
~Blaine
Kurt pondered the note for a moment before inhaling the sweet aroma exuding from the flowers. Blaine's scent mingled upon its petals. Kurt longed to have those arms wrapped around him again. Kurt removed his intent stare from the flowers and scanned the room for their sender. Blaine had gone, and Kurt's face fell slightly. In the silence, Kurt heard a familiar melody down the hall. He climbed out of bed and began down the hall in his comfy sweats and T-shirt Blaine let him borrow towards the tune.
There was a young girl finishing a song up on the small café's stage. Her voice echoed off the walls as it rang out like a bell.
Yah we have to do this together…
He recognized the small girl. That was his nurse… and she was really good. She got off the stage as scattered applause dismissed her. She saw Kurt and came his way.
"Good morning! So glad to see you up!" She beamed up at him.
"You can really sing, Shannon." He replied to her. Her brown locks swirled down past her shoulders and her bright green eyes sparkled at him. Her rosie cheeks blushed as she sheepishly squeaked,
"Thanks." She looked at him curiously. "I hear you can sing quite phenomenally." Kurt gave her a look. "Please," she laughed, "Don't act all surprised like you don't know what I'm talking about! I heard you two sing the other day. Now why don't you get you're prada ass up there!" She giggled.
"I- I don't know…." Kurt's opinion didn't matter anyways because the next thing he knew he was up on stage. An electric beat pulsed through Kurt's veins as he began to sing.
You are still my strongest memory
Whenever I close my eyes I see you clearly
Every time my heart just skips a beat
Whenever you say my name I need you with me
As Kurt's nervous eyes scanned the crowd, a pair of golden hazel ones met his.
I am so nervous, I've thought for ages what to say
It doesn't matter anyway
You are so ruthless. let me pursue it
You come around and I fall in love.
I knew straight away
On that day
I knew straight away…
Kurt's eyes failed to leave Blaine's as something in his heart lightened at his smile.
You are still my strongest memory
Whenever I close my eyes I see you clearly
Every time my heart just skips a beat
Whenever you say my name I need you with me.
Shannon handed Blaine a microphone, and soon Blaine was on stage with him singing.
You must admit it, you feel more different everyday.
But in such an exciting way
You are the man for me
Me and you meant to be
I would do anything for you.
Kurt took the prechorus as Blaine latched his hand in his.
I knew straight away
On that day
I knew straight away…
They sang together to each other. It was as if no one else existed… just them.
You are still my strongest memory
Whenever I close my eyes, I see you clearly.
Every time my heart just skips a beat.
Whenever you say my name, I need you with me
Blaine sang to Kurt as he searched his eyes for some glimmer of acknowledgement.
Whenever you say my name, I need you with me…
They received half-hearted applause except for one over-excited brunette.
"D-did I do good?" Kurt asked.
"You were fantastic" Blaine told him. "What happened to my over-confident boyfriend?"
"Eh, he got in a coma."
Kurt and Blaine headed back towards his room. Kurt had insisted Blaine go home and sleep in his own bed for once. Blaine laughed but it faded as he saw the empty haze in Kurt's eyes.
There was nothing there.
Blaine had been kidding himself. Kurt had no memory of him yet he acted as if nothing had changed,
But everything had changed.
All Kurt knew was that Blaine was his fiancé. He didn't know him. Kurt was lost yet in Blaine's fragile state he was kind and gentle. He tried and tried to feel something for Blaine yet Blaine refused to see a change.
And Blaine's heart shattered at this sudden nightmare he faced. The hopeful shine in Blaine's eyes, the spring in his step, the flitter in his heart, the quirk of his smile… faded. The man he knew in front of him didn't return the same recognition. The man he knew never knew him.
His heart dropped in his chest, the breath escaped his lungs shakily.
"Blaine- you okay?" Kurt's eyebrow furrowed in confusion.
"Kurt… I'm…" He set his sight to the blue-gray set eyes in front of him. "I'm so very sorry." He turned and his speedy walk turned into a sprint.
"Blaine? Blaine! Wait-" He attempted to chase after him but winced at the sharp pain in his side. He continued to run anyways, and the pain began to blind him as he continued to go after Blaine. "Please don't-" he paused to take a sharp gasp and he gripped his side "-go…" And the lights distinguished.
...
And I know it's been
Such a long time
Since we've just been friends
And not soldiers on
The front line of a war
That we were born into
But we have to do this together
Don't leave me
