It only takes a moment and Blaine has thrown himself back into Kurt's arms. "I'm sorry, I'm so … so broken. You make everything better. You make things okay, that I thought never could ever be. I want to be okay, but I don't know how to be okay without you."
"Blaine, you are not broken. You are hurting. And it has always been our strength, not mine alone. Remember how many nights for how many weeks you just held me? How I just broke down in your arms every weekend when I had first transfered back to McKinley."
Blaine whispers a sad, "Yes."
Kurt smiles into the kiss he places in Blaine's hair, "No brave faces put on around here, no masks around each other, I have always loved that about us, as friends and as boyfriends, we got really good at that. Promise me and yourself we won't start now. We will talk and we will text and we will keep sharing our lives. And you will shout down the line if you have to to make me shut up about Vogue, and New York, and NYADA, and make me listen."
The promise lies in Blaine's eyes, unspoken but not unread when Blaine looks up from Kurt's chest and eyes meet and find - still always finding more than they dare come looking for.
Leaning up, lips gently almost brush against Kurt's, but before they can, Blaine turns his head, and resting his right cheek on Kurt's left shoulder lets out one more sob before growing quiet in Kurt's arms. "I am going to miss you so much," Blaine says in a soft, desperate whisper, Blaine's arms winding tight around Kurt's waist, Blaine breathing deep, burying his whole face in Kurt's shoulder, trying desperately to memorize the smell that is so Kurt.
Blaine wants to beg for a last kiss, a last night …, but he knows too well, it is not fair towards Kurt, so he keeps holding on to Kurt, whimpering quietly, until Kurt eases them into a lying position and Blaine is allowed to snuggle up against Kurt's chest, Kurt's heartbeat felt so clear easing his knotted up insides. "Will you still hold me like this with Adam around?"
Kurt takes a deep breath, "I will always want to hold you, Blaine."
"But will you?" Blaine dares to whisper once more.
"Adam knows about you."
"That is a no," Blaine chokes out.
"No, no, Blaine, no it is not."
"That is a sentence with a lot of no in it, for someone who wants to say yes."
"Blaine."
Blaine knowing by the gentle tone alone it is Kurt asking for his attention turns his head and locks eyes with Kurt. He is surprised when Kurt reaches down and gently smooths a stray curl out of Blaine's eyes.
"If you need someone to hold you, Blaine, I am always here."
"Even if Adam does not understand?"
"If Adam does not understand that you will always stay part of my life," Kurt breaks off, a soft smile on his lips for just a second, "then he is not the one for me."
"The one for you," Blaine whispers under his breath before snuggling closer to Kurt's warm side.
