Chapter Notes: Ok…I am listening to SOWK nonstop…it's just…I'm getting depressed…can anyone tell me why it isn't Tuesday yet? I mean…damn…

Anyways…enjoy :D


Three days after the ordeal with his parents Blaine woke up in the middle of the night to a disconcerting image of a nightmare. As soon as he was awake the dream fled him, the only thing that remained was the sensation of Kurt being gone.

To calm his racing heart he reached out towards Kurt's side of the bed…his hand only met cool linen. Kurt wasn't there. After the initial moment of panic he was able to make out the low sound of voices from the living room. He glanced at the clock. 2:30 am.

He got up with a frown and walked towards the door, opening it slightly. He found Kurt sitting in front of his computer, with his dad on screen.

'What the hell?' Blaine thought 'Why is Kurt skyping with his father in the middle of the night?'

"I'm just…I feel so terrible dad…" Kurt said lowly and Blaine was drawn from his reverie.

"Oh kid nothing of what happened was even remotely your fault." Burt replied tiredly.

"Yeah I know I know, Blaine told me that over and over again…but I'm worried about him…"

"Why? Does he seem troubled? Depressive?"

"No…he seems fine…and that's the problem…I just know he wouldn't tell me if he was hurting…and…I just…when I even try to imagine…if you had…if you had…when Blaine proposed…not having you supporting me…it almost kills me…the thought of having to choose between you and him…" Kurt sobbed quietly at the thought.

"Oh Kurt…that is never going to happen…no matter what you do, I will always be there for you…I love you kid…"

"I love you too dad."

"You know that he would always choose you over his family right? That boy loves you more than anything else…otherwise I would have shot him by now."

Kurt chuckled softly at that. "Da-aad."

"Just keep that in mind ok?"

"Only because he would doesn't mean I should let him…"

"No no no we're not going there. Blaine is a part of our family now Kurt and I know we're not as fancy as his birth family, but I need you to know...I need you to make sure that he knows it too, we're always here for you ok?"

"T-thank you."

"That's what family is for…oh and Kurt…just go back to him now…I think he is having a tough time right now…I agree with you…no one is untouched by something like that…you need to be strong for him now kid…"

"I-I…I don't know if I can…I don't want to let him down."

"Trust me on one thing…you are the strongest person I know…you were strong for me when your mom died…strong for everyone during my heart attack…I don't know if the Anderson kid knows that, but he's damn lucky to have you by his side."

"Believe me I do know…" Blaine said, stepping into the room, unable to just stand around and listen to the talk any longer.

"B-Blaine hey…I didn't know you were up…" Kurt was surprised and maybe a little ashamed.

"Well I guess that's my cue…take care kids…I love you…" and with those words Burt all but fled the conversation.

Kurt glared at the screen for a moment before he turned to face his finance, a sheepish smile on his face.

"Hey there…midnight call?" Blaine asked sarcastically.

"Um…" Kurt looked so much like a deer caught in the headlights that Blaine couldn't stay mad.

"Coming to bed baby?"

Kurt nodded, relieved and turned off his laptop. They crawled into their bed and Blaine pulled Kurt against his chest. The feeling of Kurt's soft body against his chased away the uneasy feeling that his nightmare had left and he hummed contently.

"I had a nightmare…I dreamt that you weren't there anymore…then I wake up…and you're gone…I almost had a heart attack right on the spot. Please don't scare me like that again."

"I'm sorry." Kurt apologized planting a tender kiss on his lips.

"You know that you can just talk to me about stuff right?"

"I didn't want to bother you…"

"Don't…just don't…you can tell me everything…if this is going to work we have to be honest with each other…"

"Are you?" Kurt asked in return.

"What?"

"Are you being honest with me…about this…us…your family…"

"Kurt I…my family never was like yours…we never were really close…the first time I experienced what it felt like to have a family was when I got to Dalton and joined the Warblers. And then when I got to know you and your family just…when I spent Christmas at your house for the first time because my parents couldn't be bothered to spent even one day of the year with their gay son…when I was at your place and saw Finn, excited like a little child, got to eat dinner with all of you and when I woke up and there were presents and we all unwrapped them together…I have never felt more accepted than that…you gave me so much…not only did you give me you…you also gave me a family…and I don't care that I've been thrown out of my so called home, because home is where your heart is…and my heart is wherever you are."

Kurt just stared at Blaine for a while after that, glasz eyes shining in the dark with an intensity that almost scared the raven.

"I'll always be there for you." Kurt promised "I'm never going to let you be alone ever again. Not if I have a choice."

Blaine smiled at that.

"Good to know."

They curled up against each other and soon they were both asleep, feeling safe and loved in each other's arms.

xxXxxXxxXxx

Nothing turned our as bad as the two boys had feared. Since they had bought their apartment rather than buying it, they had no rent to worry about and with the money from Kurt's performances and Blaine's occasional gigs at bars they were able to make a living.

They had to step down on expensive dinners and other exquisite dates, but they were just as happy curling up on the couch together eating pizza and watching old Disney movies.

It wasn't long however until Kurt started to notice that something was off about Blaine. Being himself the raven never complained, trying to be strong for Kurt, but it was very obvious.

Sometimes he would get tired very quickly. Just the other day he had just dropped his cup with coffee. It had just fallen out of his hand. Blaine had looked so shocked and scared, as if expecting Kurt to yell at him, but Kurt had just gently led him to the couch, kissed his forehead and handed him his cup while he went to clean up the mess.

He would start to get headaches several times a week, but he never complained. Kurt would notice anyways. And he wouldn't probe, he would just go and get some advil and water for his fiancé.

When Blaine had gotten sick last night Kurt had sat next to him through the entire night on the cool bathroom floor, bedding Blaine's head in his lap and stroking the damp curls soothingly. He could tell that Blaine was feeling guilty about all that, so he made a point in telling him that that was what spouses were for. Good times and bad times.

Blaine had smiled telling him that they weren't married yet and he had replied that it didn't matter because soon they would be, because there was no way that he would let a catch like Blaine get away.

He would have pushed Blaine to go see a doctor, but today Blaine seemed perfectly fine and he said that maybe it had just been some kind of stomach bug, joking that it would be his turn to pamper Kurt should he catch it as well.

Right now Blaine was sitting behind a beautiful piano on the stage of a local scene club and he was beaming at Kurt.

"Good evening ladies and gentlemen. I am going to perform for you tonight. The first song I will sing is dedicated to the love of my life. We have been through a little bit of a tough time lately, and I couldn't have wished for a better person to be by my side through all of it. With his charm, humor, compassion, love, care and his unbelievably kind heart he showed me what life and love really means. Kurt Elisabeth Hummel, this is for you."

There were no weird looks, no name calling. It was one of the things Kurt liked about New York. Mercedes squealed next to him and David, her longtime boyfriend, yes, ex-Warbler David, looked like he wanted to shoot himself for he knew he could never top the romantic gestures of one supposedly terrible-at-romance Blaine Anderson.

The beautiful sound of Blaine's voice started to fill the room and captivating every single member of the audience. But Blaine only had eyes for Kurt and Kurt stared right back, as the soft words washed over him.

I've been alone

Surrounded by darkness

I've seen how heartless

The world can be

I've seen you crying

You felt like it's hopeless

I'll always do my best

To make you see

Baby, you're not alone

Cause you're here with me

And nothing's ever gonna bring us down

Cause nothing can keep me from lovin' you

And you know it's true

It don't matter what'll come to be

Our love is all we need to make it through

Kurt couldn't fight the tears that welled up in his eyes as he looked at the beautiful boy on the stage, realizing for the 1000th time that Blaine was his, that he would never have to let him go. Blaine's beautiful hazel eyes never left his. Not even once during the whole song.

Now I know it ain't easy

But it ain't hard trying

Every time I see you smiling

And I feel you so close to me

And you tell me

Baby, you're not alone

Cause you're here with me

And nothing's ever gonna bring us down

Cause nothing can keep me from lovin' you

And you know it's true

It don't matter what'll come to be

Our love is all we need to make it through

Kurt couldn't help the small smile that he felt spreading on his lips. He just felt so happy, just being there, with his friends and the man he was going to be married to soon. He just couldn't think of anything that could ruin that evening for him.

I still have trouble

I trip and stumble

Trying to make sense of things sometimes

I look for reasons

But I don't need 'em

All I need is to look in your eyes

And I realize

Baby I'm not alone

Cause you're here with me

And nothing's ever gonna take us down

Cause nothing can keep me from lovin' you

And you know it's true

It don't matter what'll come to be

Our love is all we need to make it through, ooh

It was that moment when Kurt could tell that something was wrong with Blaine. He knew that he was the only one that noticed the flash of pain that went through these eyes he loved so much, the only one noticing the tiny shake in that voice that again and again allowed him to forget all of his sorrows and just feel safe and loved, right from the time of their first meeting on.

Cause you're here with me

And nothing's ever gonna bring us down

Cause nothing, nothing, nothing can keep me from lovin' you

And before anyone including himself realized what was happening he was on his feet, not even seeing the shocked faces of his friends or the incredulous stare of the strangers. His eyes were trained on Blaine as he jumped up onto the stage.

And you know it's true

It don't matter what'll come to be

You know our love is all we need

Our love is all we need to…

Blaine's voice stopped very suddenly as he gasped. He didn't even realize what was happening. Kurt was rushing towards him while the whole room seemed to tilt sideward.

Before the last sound of the piano faded from the room Kurt was on his knees catching Blaine before he hit the ground.

The last thing Blaine remembered before everything went black was the feeling of Kurt's arms holding him safely, the sound of Kurt's voice calling his name and the sight of Kurt's eyes, troubled, colored like the pacific on a stormy day looking at him through tears pleadingly.


Chapter End Notes: So…this is as far as this chapter goes…I figured that this would be a great point to end it…

Btw I hope you didn't feel bothered by the Kurt/Burt moment I just…I love these two and their relationship and I think that Kurt would be wanting his father's advice at a moment like that so…bear with me? ;D

Thanks for reading!

In the next chapter we will find out what exactly it is that is wrong with Blaine and we will see the falling out that comes from it I hope that it will be up soon.

I also want to thank those that have reviewed the previous chapters so far you guys really make my day 33

Also…I obviously do not own the song 'Not Alone' by Darren Criss *sigh* but I just figured that it would fit in greatly…so yeah…

Any thoughts? Review and let me know :D
