Ironic

A.N.: So…I completely ran this story against a (proverbial) wall, which you could probably tell by the fact that it took me forever to update. And I am very sorry for that. I had something written out but I realized that it was leading nowhere and…well doesn't matter…In the end it was the review of ensd13 that saved this story (thank you) because it got me an idea where to take it…and then while I was having another pretty shitty day in a sorta shitty week this song came on and…Now I give you the next chapter of 'Way Back Into Love'

Enjoy :D

Chapter Notes:

"…Who would've thought... it figures

Well life has a funny way

of sneaking up on you

When you think everything's okay

and everything's going right…"

Ironic - Alanis Morissette

Kurt woke with a soft smile on his face, yawning as he stretched, not bothering to reach for his phone which had just burst into 'Teenage Dream'. He would never admit it, but it had become his absolute favorite, for obvious reasons and he had put it as his alarm when him and Blaine had started dating, so every morning when he woke up, he would hear Blaine's voice (Jeff had given him a recording, after he had seen how starry eyed the young brunette had become over Blaine) and be reminded that life was great.

He picked it up after he sat up, unlocking the screen and reading Blaine's reply to the message he had sent him last night.

'I will be dreaming of you, so my dreams are gonna be sweet. I miss you. Can't wait to see you tomorrow. I love you *lessthan3*'

His heart fluttered in his chest, as a pleasant tingling sensation shot through his body. They had been dating for a while now, but everything still felt as intense and amazing as it had the first day. They were still going strong and even just thinking of his boyfriend made Kurt want to squeal like a 13 year old girl. But that was what love was supposed to feel like right?

He lazily typed a short message, before he dropped his phone onto his pillow and went to get ready, very aware of the fact that Blaine would most likely be at breakfast now.

'Can't wait for our date. I already miss you 'lessthan3*'

He sang along to Lady Gaga's 'The Edge Of Glory' while he went through with his morning routine and got dressed in the outfit he had decided upon the prior night. Since the school was closed he would go and meet up with Mercedes to go shopping, head over to Mr. Schuester's place for Glee later, come home, get changed and go meet Blaine at the Lima Bean.

He skipped down the stairs, singing loudly, until Finn's door was slammed closed with a loud thud, alerting Kurt to the fact that the frankenteen was still asleep, or had been until Kurt had woken him. He couldn't resist the urge to go in and tease his brother (they had gotten past the 'step-' quickly) a little.

He opened the door "Hey Finn? You want breakfast?" he yelled turning the light on.

He nearly toppled over in laughter at the noise Finn made as he disappeared under the covers, fleeing from the light like a creature of the night.

"I'll take that as a no then?" Kurt squeaked happily, pretending to be unaware of Finn's mood.

Another loud discontent groan, from the taller boy made Kurt laugh even harder as he turned off the light. He was mean, but not cruel.

"That's what you get for interrupting me and Blaine last week." the brunette exclaimed, closing the door behind him, just in time to hear something heavy, possibly a bottle of soda from Finn's bed, collide with the doorframe.

He grinned, reopening the door.

"Don't forget about Glee later." he yelled, slamming the door shut, laughing hard at the curses that Finn yelled after him.

After getting coffee, Kurt got on his way to pick up Mercedes, thinking about how happy he was. He hadn't been this happy in a long time before he met Blaine, not by a long shot, even if his friends helped him a lot. And ever since he and Blaine had started dating he constantly felt as if he was flying. It was indescribable what he felt every time Blaine as much as looked at him.

Blaine always said Kurt was the courageous one of them, but that wasn't true. Kurt had never been weak, but without Blaine by his side he would have never been able to stand up for himself like he did now. Because having someone as amazing as Blaine love him had given him a whole new confidence. Showed him that he was worth being loved. It had done wonders for his self esteem.

He thought of the loving gaze Blaine shot him whenever they were together, making Kurt feel like he was the only one in the world Blaine saw. He thought of the soft touches, how Blaine would run his hands and lips over Kurt's skin making him feel loved and cherished. He thought of falling asleep curled up in Blaine's arms, feeling safe and protected. He thought of not having to say things out loud when their gazes met in silent understanding He thought of soft kisses that would lead further, grow more passionate, the gaze of hazel eyes running over Kurt's body before stopping at his eyes, always asking for permission. …

"Hey white boy, ready to go?"

"Huh?" Kurt was startled out of his thoughts as Mercedes jumped into the passenger's seat.

He hadn't even noticed that he had pulled up in front of her house. He blushed slightly, turning to look at her.

"Hey 'Cedes. Of course I'm ready." he smiled, trying to hide his blush.

But his friend knew him to well.

"Aww…" she said. "You're in deep aren't you? I haven't seen you this happy in a long time and I must say I really like it. Blaine's really good for you. I hope for him that that stays that way or I will have to hunt him down and do unspeakable things to him before leaving him at the mercy of Puck and Santana."

Kurt chuckled softly and nodded, his eyes brightening up even more as his thoughts wandered back to Blaine.

"He's the best thing that ever happened to me." he said, in a light tone, but Mercedes knew that he wasn't joking as he started his car.

Mercedes was busy trying on some new clothes, while Kurt was walking through the store, looking for stuff for either her or himself as his phone went off. For a moment he thought Blaine was calling, but as he pulled it out of his pocket he realized that it was in fact Jeff.

His smile fell only slightly as went to accept the call. Him and Jeff had bonded over their audition for the solo at the Warblers and their extensive love for everything Gaga (Jeff had been the one to tell Kurt that the only person who didn't see how much he was in love with Blaine was the soloist himself when Kurt had wondered why everyone had shot him those pitying looks when Blaine had announced the GAP attack) and he always liked to hear from his friend, even though he wondered why he would call at this time in the morning.

"Hi Jeff." he greeted the blonde casually "What's wrong?" he asked as there was no reply for a moment.

"Hey Kurt."

The brunette frowned. That didn't sound like the usually chipper Warbler at all. More like a defeated and tired version of him.

"Are you ok?" he wanted to know "Did they shoot you down with your solo idea again? They are idiots, just go talk to Wes or David about it I'm sure if you actually manage to get one of them alone you'll have …"

"Kurt this is about Blaine." Jeff interrupted him breathlessly.

Kurt's heart sunk as many possible horror scenarios went through his mind. Had Blaine had an accident? Was he hurt? Sad? Angry? Sick?

"Is he ok?" he shrieked, panicking slightly.

"Yeah…" was the hesitant reply and Kurt started feeling really sick as another unwanted thought snuck its way into his head.

"Is there…did he…find someone else?" he whispered, trying to get the nagging little voice in his head that kept chanting 'I told you you weren't good enough' in a voice that closely resembled drunk!Rachel, by telling himself that Blaine loved him.

"God no!" Jeff's reply somewhat reassured him.

"What's wrong then?" Kurt asked, confused.

Surely Blaine would have called him himself if it was none of those possibilities. Actually now that he thought about it, Blaine would have called him anyways, he wasn't the type to go behind Kurt's back. They were best friends too after all.

"He…he's not dead is he?" Kurt asked in a small voice, as the heaviness of that possibility settled on his chest.

"No…Kurt he completely freaked out when he woke up this morning. He ran out of his room dressed in his sleeping clothes, wanting to know where he was. When Wes and David went to calm him down he yelled 'Don't touch me faggots' and ran out. We were all pretty shocked and now we're looking for him. Wes and David told me to call you to see whether you knew anything."

Upon hearing this Kurt let out a relieved sigh and just went to sit down, taking deep calming breaths, cursing his drama loving brain for concocting up terrifying images like it had. But then the whole strangeness of what Jeff had just told him sank in, and he frowned.

"Wait he did what? Why would he do that? They're his straight (the 'supposedly' went unsaid, but the snort from Jeff told Kurt all he needed to know) best friends. He's gay." Kurt shook his head, trying to make sense of anything.

"So you haven't heard from him?"

"No…We were supposed to meet up later, but I guess I'll just go and try to find him now." Kurt answered, concerned.

"Ok…call us if you've got anything? We're all pretty worried?"

"Sure, thanks for calling me."

Kurt hung up the phone staring at it dumbly for a moment before Mercedes arrived, immediately seeing that something was wrong, wrapping her arms around the slender brunette, holding him as he told her what he had just learned.

A while later Kurt was driving around, having dropped Mercedes off at her house as he went to search for Blaine. If he was honest this was pretty pointless, for all he knew Blaine could be on his way to New York. But none of that made sense.

The Blaine he knew wasn't exactly a morning person, but he would never lash out at his best friends like he had, or leave school without a good reason. And what was that about his confusion where he was? Just last night Blaine had texted him, he had been fine. This just didn't add up.

He had been driving around for quite some time, lost in thought, when suddenly a thought hit him. A while ago Blaine had told him of a place where his parents had used to take him when he had been younger, before they had the fallout over his sexuality. Blaine had said that he still went there sometimes to think and calm down. Kurt didn't know what was wrong with his boyfriend, but he hoped that he would find him there to find out.

He didn't call anyone else, he wasn't sure whether Blaine would be there after all, as he turned his navigator around to get going.

After the more than 3 hour drive to the small lake somewhere between Dalton and the house of Blaine's parents Kurt finally parked his car, next to Blaine's, relieved to see it standing there as he got out. He pulled out his phone and sent a quick message to Jeff and Mercedes, telling them that he had found Blaine's car, and was going to try and talk to him.

He then walked down the small path to the water, looking around. After a moment he spotted Blaine on the other side of the lake, absentmindedly throwing rocks into the clear water. The raven didn't even notice when Kurt approached him from behind a while later.

"Blaine?" the brunette asked softly "Baby are you ok?"

He put a hand on Blaine's shoulder startling the raven, who shot up and pushed Kurt back. Kurt stared at him, eyes wide with shock and the older boy looked at him with something that resembled regret. But the expression on his face didn't fit Blaine, neither did the way he stood. Kurt blinked. This was really weird

"Look man, I'm sorry, but don't just sneak up on a guy like that I mean hell…"

Kurt just stood there and blinked again, cocking his head to the side slightly.

"Blaine are you ok? You're acting weird." he finally said, wanting to put a hand on Blaine's arm, feeling slightly hurt as the raven flinched away.

"Whoa man careful. What's with the touchy-feely attitude? Who the hell are you?" Blaine asked, staring at Kurt strangely.

"Blaine…" Kurt choked out "I'm...Kurt…y-your boyfriend."

Chapter End Notes: So this is as far as this goes, I hope you liked it.

This is kind of how I see Kurt and Blaine…like, totally in love bringing out the best in each other…it's a little cheesy but yeah…

I haven't quite decided on how I will end this story, but now I know where it's gonna go. I hope it was clear what happened, if you have any questions, feel free to put them in a review or PM me. :D

It's past 3 am now…I wasn't even gonna post this, since my self esteem has been stomped into the ground lately and I really don't know what to think of my stuff anymore, and I haven't been this nervous about my writing in a long time, but I didn't wanna let you guys wait any longer than necessary...so I really hope it's ok... :)

I would love to hear your thoughts on this, whether you liked it, and if you have any suggestions feel free to tell me ;)

Thank you to those who already reviewed, or favorited or put this on alert. *lessthan3*

I'm already working on the next chapter which will once again be focusing on Blaine in the alternate reality. I hope I'll be able to update soon

Love,
