Finn, Blaine, Kurt, Burt, Carole, and Rachel waited nervously for Blaine's blood test results to come back. Blaine had been worried that having blood drawn was painful, but Kurt insisted that it was nothing.

"I got blood tests once a month since I was nine," Kurt said, "I think a big boy can handle it."

The encouragement didn't keep Blaine from flinching away as the needle was slowly pushed into his arm. The waiting room was dead silent until Finn quietly asked Kurt, "How do you stand this?"

Kurt blinked over at him, confused, "What do you mean?"

Finn didn't look at him, "Knowing that you could die. Don't you ever get scared?"

"I'm always scared." Kurt admitted, "It would be so easy to catch something serious. I was lucky that my little episode yesterday was just nausea mixed with hypoglycemia and dehydration. It's terrifying to know that I might not make it out of high school."

"But you always seem so..." Finn searched for the word, "okay. Like you're not afraid of anything."

Kurt shrugged, "Anti-anxiety pills."

"Can I borrow some?" Finn asked, "I think I'm gonna throw up."

"You'll need my anti-nausea pills for that." Kurt said.

"How many pills do you take?" Finn wondered.

Kurt chuckled, "That depends on how many dad and Carole slip into my food."

A shadow of a smile appeared on Finn's face as Rachel grabbed a hold of his hand. She hadn't said anything about it, but Kurt could tell by the look on her face that she must have slept with him recently.

Finn looked down at the floor, "Its strange to think that the guy that slept with my step-brother's ex-boyfriend may have given me some horrible disease. Its weird how something that seems to have nothing to do with me could effect me so much." It seemed so wise for something that came from the mouth of Finn Hudson.

Rachel patted his hand, but didn't speak.

The nurse came back with the results and smiled gently, "Good news, you came back clean."

No one realized that they were holding their breaths until the sound of relieved sighs broke the tension. Finn's goofy smile broke out as he enveloped Rachel in a tight hug. Kurt was glad that they were going to be okay, but he felt strangely alone again. He didn't want anyone else to be sick, but he wanted someone who could relate, someone who knew how he felt. He heard that they had support groups for people with potentially fatal medical conditions, but none near Lima.

Blaine was suddenly hugging him and mumbling, "I swear I'll never sleep with him again, you were right."

"I'm always right, Blaine." Kurt sighed as he gently pushed Blaine off of him. The other boy's clingy-ness was starting to make him uncomfortable. "I hope you learned your lesson."

Blaine perked up, "Does that mean you'll get back with me?" Blaine didn't know why he was so dead set on getting Kurt back. He was his first serious boyfriend and he was his best friend for almost two years and he was beautiful and funny and just so Kurt-ish. It hurt to just lose all of that. He would blame it on the steroids, but that just wasn't the truth. He was the one who cheated just because he couldn't control himself. But Kurt cared enough to try and help Blaine move on. Blaine just wasn't ready and it had hurt to see Kurt move on so fast. Maybe Blaine was never even right for Kurt. After all of the time that Blaine cruelly spent months chasing after other guys despite the fact that he knew how Kurt felt about him, Kurt's feelings for him must have decreased as Blaine's increased. Their relationship had seemed one-sided after a while and it was a little obvious that Blaine was more of a friend than a romantic partner to Kurt. Maybe Dave was what was best for Kurt. He didn't seem to hurt him, in fact, he would probably protect him with his life. Dave would take care of Kurt and his condition for as long as they were together, which could very well be for the rest of their lives. This was clearly what was best for Kurt and eventually Blaine might find someone that he loved just as much. He would miss what he once had with Kurt every day of his life, but he was the one who messed it up and Kurt was much better off with Dave.

"I know that you know the answer, Blaine." Kurt frowned, "And I wish that you would just stop asking because it hurts me just as much as it hurts you. I miss you a lot, but just as my friend. I know you were upset that I found a new boyfriend so fast, but something just clicked between me and Dave." Kurt reached out and patted Blaine on the shoulder. "Its different than you and I, at first I thought that you were my soul mate, but I realized that it wasn't attraction, just adoration and fondness."

Blaine nodded curtly, "I don't want to hurt you any more. You have enough crap thrown at you already."

Kurt had to agree with that, "I guess I'll see you at glee on Monday."

"See you then." Blaine gave a little wave then said his goodbyes to everyone before leaving, but he wasn't going home.

xXx

Dave opened the door to see Blaine shifting nervously on his doorstep. "Uh, hey."

Blaine tried to smile, "Hello, I wanted to talk to you about something."

Dave blinked, confused and alert. Blaine didn't look hostile so Dave assumed that he wasn't there to try and beat him up. "Sure, come in."

Blaine followed him inside, taking in the surroundings and Dave started to feel self conscious. Blaine used to go to a private school which meant that his family probably had money and he was probably mentally criticizing his house as they ventured into the living room and sat on the couch.

"Look," Blaine sighed, "I talked with Kurt earlier and I just wanted to let you know that I approve."

"What?" Dave blinked.

"I am okay with Kurt dating you." Blaine explained, "You have my blessing."

"Well, uh," Dave raised an amused eyebrow, "normally its the father's blessing I'd need."

"Oh, yeah, you'll need that too." Blaine admitted, "Although, good luck getting past Burt and his shotgun."

Dave chuckled, "Yeah, all Kurt had to do was walk into my house and my father is ready to get us married and moved out, whereas I have to find a way to ask without getting shot and Kurt getting moved to a safe-house in some far away country."

"That man is extremely protective." Blaine agreed, "Though Kurt is his only biological child and I don't think he has any other actual family except for the Hudsons."

"I guess that makes sense." Dave said. There was an awkward silence, but Dave broke it up. "And thank you for your blessing. I wasn't looking for permission from you, but I'm sure that it will mean a lot to Kurt and if he's happy, I'm happy."

Blaine was glad to hear that. "I know you will take good care of him despite his stubborn refusal to take care of his condition himself."

"And that's why it scares the shit out of me." Dave said, "I'm so worried that he won't tell us something that's important and he'll die. I hate that we can't trust him to tell us on his own. In a couple weeks he will be miserable again and I'll feel so useless and upset that he's in pain."

Blaine chewed on his bottom lip, "He will make it, he's so tough that he has to." He pretended to check the time, feeling slightly awkward. "I have to go. I'm glad we had this talk."

Dave led the other boy out and hoped that this meant that he had given up on getting Kurt from him, because Dave was afraid that he may not stand a chance against the richer, more attractive boy.

Kurt had dreams about being on the beach with Dave. He could run again without having to stop and catch his breath all of the time. He and Dave would spend hours kissing and watching the sun set, like one of those stupid romantic movies on Lifetime. He even had his beautiful hair once again. Every time he woke up from those dreams, he didn't want to get up. He wanted to go back to sleep and be with Dave on the beach again.

Chemo would start again in a week. It was Monday and Kurt wasn't ready to go to school, but he forced himself to his feet and over to the bathroom. Finn was downstairs, already wide awake. Ever since the whole HIV scare Finn had been 'living life to its fullest'. He would wake up early each morning and have a pitcher of coffee then run around school 'rescuing' kids from bullies. Most of the time Kurt had to step in to keep them from turning on Finn. No one would mess with Kurt when they knew that Dave would retaliate if they hurt him. Kurt had always made fun of Dave for naming his fist, but it seemed to intimidate people enough to keep them from bullying him or Kurt. Although Kurt was a little ticked when he found out why the bullies weren't messing with him.

As it turned out, the jocks were under the illusion that Dave owned Kurt, or at least that's how they had made it sound. Kurt had asked Puck why all of the jocks avoided him and Puck said, "They don't want Karofsky to think that they were messing with his property." Kurt almost shanked him with his comb, but Puck backed away, "I'm just quoting them!"

"I am not property." Kurt crossed his arms and turned to Mercedes who was giggling beside him. "What's so funny about this?"

"Nothing, Boo." Mercedes tried to stifle the giggles but failed.

"I'll talk to him later." Kurt muttered and stalked off.

Now he finally had the chance to ask Dave why they were under the impression that he was owned as he met Dave at his locker.

Dave had cracked up laughing and said, "I kinda told them that you were a genie and would smite them if they messed with you."

Kurt gaped, how stupid could those guys get? That was why they stopped harassing him? "Why would you say that?"

"Because wrestling champ and black belt in ninja-fu or whatever seemed a little far fetched." Dave informed him. "I just don't want to put any undue stress on you. I don't want you to get sick or anything."

Kurt had to admit, it was a good idea to hold the bullies off for a while seeing as they were apparently super stupid. Kurt smiled up at his boyfriend, "Thank you, Dave." He wrapped his arms around Dave's neck and gave him a long kiss on the lips.

Dave grinned as Kurt pulled back about an inch, "If that's what I get for doing nice things I'll do them more often."

Kurt rolled his eyes and confirmed their date for later that night before leaving for class. Being believed to be a genie was a small price to pay for protection from the relentless homophobes that roamed the halls of McKinley high

xXx

Kurt rested his head on Dave's chest, listening to his heart beating over the sound of the movie playing in the background. They had settled for hanging out at Dave's house for their date since no one was home. They were lying on Dave's bed watching some plotless horror movie which Kurt used as an excuse to cuddle in closer which was clearly Dave's plan anyways.

Kurt closed his eyes as another gory death took place on the screen and lost the sound of Dave's heartbeat over the screams of the girl being murdered. It brought up a question to his mind that he asked aloud, "What do you think dying feels like?"

"That depends on how the person dies." Dave sounded absorbed in the movie.

Kurt was quiet for a moment as he listened to the suspenseful music emanating from the television. "How about how I'm gonna die?" He spoke up.

Dave's attention snapped over to Kurt who was nervously playing with the collar of Dave's shirt. He muted the television and frowned, "You don't know how you're going to die, but I imagine it will be of old age."

Kurt smiled at the positive reinforcement, "However I die, I want to be with you until then."

Dave grinned back at him, "I would be honored to be with you until then."

"Promise you will." Kurt said seriously as he held out his pinky finger.

Dave blinked at it for a second then nodded and locked his pinky with Kurt's, "I promise you, Kurt, that I will never leave you until you take out a restraining order and even then I will risk incarceration just to see you again."

Kurt rolled over so that he was laying stomach to stomach on top of Dave, "Thank you," He said, watery eyed, "I love you."

Kurt gave Dave a lingering kiss which Dave proceeded to deepen. Kurt felt his heart rate quicken as Dave slipped his tongue into his mouth. Kurt let out a little moan and wrapped his arms around Dave's neck, trying to pull him closer.

"Kurt," Dave breathed as his hands went to Kurt's pants button.

Kurt was off of the bed an in the doorway in a matter of seconds.

Dave sat up and looked at Kurt apologetically, "I'm sorry, Kurt, I shouldn't have..."

"I really have to go." Kurt said uncomfortably, then left before Dave could protest.

A/N: I'm getting so close to being able to write graphic make-out scenes now :) I know how to, I just don't have the guts! Yup, I worried you guys about Finnegan and *In the same voice that Sue used when she says "Glee club"* Blaine for nothing! But I didn't get reviews for the chapter before it and took my revenge. MWAHAHAHA!
