A/N: Wow. Seems like a lot of you like this!
Again, I'm unsure how frequent updates will be, as my laptop is having issues… that said, enjoy chapter two!
(Something I forgot to mention earlier, probably because he wasn't featured in the prologue: punk!Blaine. :P)

Kurt headed to his gate to wait for boarding for his flight home. Home was Lima, Ohio;
nothing special. Nothing to remember, no one to remember. To put it simply, he hated it there. But he was stuck, because he had to bury his mother;
one of the very few people who loved him unconditionally.

"Kurt?" he heard someone say behind him, as he was waiting for a taxi to bring him to his childhood home, because his dad was busy closing the shop up for the week.
"Blaine?" he answered with a bit of confusion, after recognizing the voice immediately. "Whatever happened to "I'm never coming back to Lima ever again." ?"
"Things change." He replied, quietly as he walked over to the waiting taxi. Blaine took one last look at Kurt and said "Gotta go, running late for work." and booked it down the street.

That was odd. When the hell did he pierce his eyebrow, dye his hair and stop using gel?

Kurt hated being home. He hated his room, he hated the thought of running into any low-life former jock that probably now worked at The Lima Bean.
Sure, he loved his dad, but they never really saw eye-to-eye on things. He just missed seeing her. She was the reason why he bothered to say in contact with his family.
But now, she was gone.

He endured the usual "I'm sorry for your loss" condolences during the wake from relatives that he hardly even knew.
And the few he did know, he only vaguely remembered.
All he wanted to do was finish with the awkwardness of the wake, and take a drive to Scandals for a drink or two.

An hour after saying their goodbyes and making the final arrangements for her ashes, (she never wanted a big funeral, just a small wake with family and close friends in attendance, and then she wanted to have her ashes scattered at her favorite spot in town.) Kurt was on his way to Scandals, hoping to just wind down and have a few drinks.
but of course, nothing ever goes as planned for Kurt Hummel.

Kurt walked into the dark bar, surprised at how little has changed in the place since he was there last, during high school. As if on cue, he spotted Sebastian making out with some boy wearing ripped jeans and a studded leather jacket.

Wait a second, he was making out with Blaine. What the fuck?
