Blaine knew that the day was coming. There was nothing Blaine could do to stop it. Well, there was something, but that wouldn't be right. Kurt had to get on that plane and had to go to New York. There was no question about it. But that didn't mean that he was ready to say goodbye to Kurt. In fact, he was pretty sure that he would never be ready to say goodbye to Kurt, and that was because he never wanted to ever have to say goodbye.

Before either of the boys realized it, it was the night before Kurt left. Kurt and Blaine were cuddled together on Kurt's bed. It was relaxing and peaceful, or at least it should have been but Kurt and Blaine knew what was coming the next day, plus it didn't help that there were boxes stacked up all around the room. The boxes were just a reminder that it was really happening.

"I can't believe you're leaving tomorrow," Blaine said as he inched closer to Kurt. Although, that really didn't seem possible given how close the boys already were, but that didn't stop Blaine from trying.

"I know. It's strange. I'm not going to be in Ohio any more," Kurt said. He was still getting used to the idea. He hadn't planned to go to New York until next year, and then he wouldn't have to be away from Blaine at all, which was definitely a plus. But because of Blaine's persistence, he was going to get on a plane tomorrow and be off to a new life. Although he had to leave Blaine and his dad, Kurt was actually really excited about it.

"I'm going to miss you," Blaine said. He knew that this was probably going to be the hardest year of his life, even more so than his freshman year in public school. There, he only had to deal with bullies at school. Now, he would have to deal with Kurt being ten hours away all the time, and frankly, Blaine didn't know how he was going to make it.

"I know, but it's not like we're going to stop talking all together."

"I know, but it's going to be hard."

"So we won't see each other everyday. We can still make it work," Kurt said, wrapping his arms tighter around Blaine. Kurt was determined to make it work. There was no way he was going to lose Blaine.

"I know, but it's different. I know we did something similar when I was at Dalton and you were at McKinley, but it's ten hours instead of an hour and a half. It's just going to take a lot of getting used to."

"Yeah, but you'll come visit me. I'll come visit you. There's Skype and calling and texting and email. We'll make it work."

"I know we will. And don't get me wrong, Kurt, I'm so happy for you to go, but I just don't want to say goodbye."

"You don't have to," Kurt said. "Give it one year, and you're going to be in New York with me."

"I can't wait."

"Me either. Just you and me and our apartment."

Blaine smiled at this. One of the things he truly couldn't wait for. He was going to be living in an apartment with his boyfriend. Just him and Kurt. He would just have to make it through one more year at McKinley and then there was no looking back.

The next morning, Burt, Carole, and Blaine went with Kurt to the airport. They stayed with Kurt for as long as they could, but Kurt hit security and they had to say goodbye. The moment everyone was dreading.

Kurt said goodbye to Burt and Carole, and although it was tough, Kurt seemed to be doing ok. But when it came time to say goodbye to Blaine, both boys started crying. Kurt and Blaine each took a step forward and wrapped their arms around each other. It was going to be hard, there was no denying that.

The last year and a half was amazing. They each found someone who loved them as much as they loved the other. It was something that both boys didn't really see happening at certain points in their lives. And now they had to say goodbye to that person. There would be visits and phone calls and Skype dates, but both Kurt and Blaine knew that it wouldn't even compare to what it was like when they were actually together.

Kurt and Blaine hung onto each other for longer than they thought they would. It was a long hug, but to them it only felt like a few seconds. They pulled apart and looked into each other's tear filled eyes.

"I'm going to miss you so much," Kurt said.

"I'll miss you too. But you need to go. Get out of Ohio. Go to New York. I'll be there soon."

Kurt couldn't help it. He pulled Blaine close to his chest again. Finally, they pulled apart for good. Kurt gave one more look to his dad and Carole, before turning and walking towards security.

Burt, Carole, and Blaine all had tears in their eyes. Blaine could only stand there and watch the boy he loved walk on. He felt a hand on his shoulder and looked to see Burt standing there.

"You going to be ok, son?" Burt asked.

Blaine looked at Kurt one last time and said, "Yeah, I'll be ok."

"You sure?"

Blaine took a deep breath, "Yeah, I'm sure." Blaine still hadn't figured out how exactly he was going to survive this year, but he would figure something out. He had to.

Clearly, tonight was not the night for Blaine to find a solution to his problem of surviving a year without Kurt. When Blaine got home after the airport, he broke. He was in his room, hugging a pillow, crying and wondering what he was going to do. It had only been a few hours, but Blaine missed Kurt already. Blaine couldn't help but wonder, if it was this bad now, how was he going to make it?

The next day went a little better. Blaine was actually able to get out of bed and take a shower so he didn't look like a zombie. He still missed Kurt and came very close to calling him on multiple occasions, but he stopped himself. Blaine knew that if Kurt heard how him right now, Kurt would probably get on a plane and come back to Lima right away. And Blaine couldn't do that to Kurt. It just wasn't fair.

Blaine had waited for Kurt to call. It was not easy, but it felt so good to hear Kurt's voice. Blaine could tell that Kurt was where he was supposed to be. Blaine was able to make himself sound like absolutely nothing was wrong. Blaine figured that that must have come from years of practice. After the phone call, though, Blaine broke down again. When was this going to get easier?

Author's Note

First, this clearly does not follow what happens in Season 4. I had most of these planned out before the season started, so everything that happens after season 3 is AU.

As far as writing a second part to the previous chapter (Finn), I will work on it, but it's just going to take awhile. School and life are just a little hectic right now, but I am going to try to get another part up eventually.

Thanks for reading and please consider leaving a review.
