Keep my Heart: Chapter 20

Kurt's P.O.V

I was worried for Blaine I'd never seen him so depressed. He'd even taken time off from his job and no matter what we did nothing seemed to cheer him up.

He'd really loved his grandfather and it had basically destroyed him inside to kill him. For the millionth time I cursed Miles to burn in the deepest pit of hell.

Blaine sat on the couch mindlessly watching the T.V with no interest in his eyes.

"Blaine," I whispered, sitting down next to him. He looked at me with dull eyes. "Honey, you've barely said anything since yesterday. Is there anything I can do?" Blaine just sighed looking like he was on the verge of yet another break down.

It killed me to see him like this. I felt close to tears myself.

"Blaine," Wes said coming up to him, "there's nothing we can do if you don't say anything. Perhaps it would be better if you just talked about it. Your grandfather-," Blaine squeezed his eyes shut at the mention of the name.

"Wes," David said warningly, "let Kurt handle this, okay?" Wes looked back longingly but nodded.

The two left hand in hand, Wes leaning his head against David's shoulder. I smiled at them as they went and looked back at a very sombre Blaine my mood becoming just as grey.

"Blaine, you need to talk to me." I said reaching out for his hand. He opened his mouth as if to say something but closed it again. It would be better to wait I decided. Vampires could wait as long as need be.

So we sat on the couch for what could have been an hour or two, both saying nothing.

"It's just," Blaine began suddenly, "he was the only one there for me. My mom and dad didn't approve of me being gay. They sent me to live with him and shortly after they were killed. And," he looked close to tears, "I can't help thinking that this is the way I repaid him."

Blaine was broken and I knew the feeling well. When my mother had died I thought I'd never smile again like there was no more sun. He just needed time to heal.

"I just feel...so horrible for what I did. Am I a monster now for killing my own grandfather?" Hazel eyes held mine questioningly.

I pulled him into a much needed hug. "No Blaine," I murmured.

"How can you still love me after that?" My eyes widened in shock. Blaine had been unsure that I'd still love him? Maybe that was part of the reason he was so down?

"Blaine, sweet heart, I will always love you, no matter what." His eyes were guarded like he didn't believe me. "You did this for my safety," I reminded him.

I got up from where I sat and plugged my iPod into the nearby radio's iPod dock. The intro for 123 by Craig Smart started playing through the speakers. This song was just simply me and Blaine.

"Blaine, I'm not the greatest singer but I think this is the only way for you to believe me." The piano music filled the room and I opened my mouth to sing the opening lines.

"You're beautiful, more beautiful than the first day we met.

It's magical and I love you more each day with every breath.

When I look at you I can see forever in your eyes."

Yes it was sappy and maybe a bit overly-romantic but this was how I felt about Blaine. For the first time today I could see life spark in Blaine's eyes. I continued on,

"When I fell for you, you caught me like I was a fallen star.

You know it's true, wanna be with you no matter where you are.

"I already knew, that we were always meant to be. Ooh!"

I pulled Blaine off the couch so that we stood facing each other my arms wrapped around his waist. I tried the best I could to convey just how much love I felt for him. Although that would be impossible no one would be able to display that much adoration.

"Loving you, it's just like the air that I breathe it fills in just so naturally it's easier than 123.

"Incredible you're a super man in so many ways.

"Powerful, you're a vision of what perfect is to me and you do it all with a smile upon your face.

And I promise you I'll never ever make you cry

And tell the truth, we'll never ever speak one lie.

I wanna love you until the end of time."

I couldn't help but smile when Blaine started laughing. It sounded like music to my ears and I always wanted to make that sound come from his lips.

"Loving you is just like the air that I dream it fills in just so naturally.

It's easier than 123.

Loving you is just like a sweet melody it fills in just so naturally it's easier than 123."

"Loving you is just like a sweet melody it comes to me so naturally.

"It's so easy to love you."

We stood there, heads together for a few minutes.

"Thank you," Blaine whispered, "just for being you, thank you." I heard some scuffling and looked to my left to see Wes and David attempting to spy on us.

"You don't have to thank me. I'm sure you'd do the same thing for me. I know you loved your grandpa," Blaine turned his head to look at the floor and I pulled it back to face me, "but you will find it easier to deal with in time. You're not a monster, okay?"

Blaine looked at me and nodded slowly. "Good, now we have bigger things to deal with. If what you said is true, and I'm sure it is, Miles is out there doing god only knows what. We have to find him and stop him before anyone else gets hurt."

Duh duh duuh, sorry this was a really, REALLY short kinda fluffy chapter but the next chapter is going to take me a while to write because I'll need to cover a lot of ground. So this is something to tide you over!

The song 123 belongs to Craig Smart. I had to change some lyrics such as Superwoman to Superman for obvious reasons and I strongly suggest that everyone who reads this listens to the song! It is very Klaine...what I would give to have Blaine sing this to Kurt on Glee.
