Chapter 2: My Missing Puzzle Piece

July 15th, 2021

His life established in a routine and he's been living the same way for a very long time. He felt lonely, especially after his Dad's death, but even with so many struggles, he kept living, or at least tried to. He knew this struggle wasn't last for long. He has a year.

A new week began and both continued with their lives; after graduating in high school, Kurt wanted to go to NYADA, but he didn't get it, so he went to New York and started working in and never left.

It was Thursday, he was about to finish his last assignment when his cell phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Hi Kurt, it's Blaine."

"Oh, hi! How are you?"

"I'm good and you? Hope I didn't call in a bad time?"

"No, you didn't. I'm just packing my things to head home."

"That's great. I wanted to know if you'd want to have dinner with me tonight."

Nervous was the word that defined Kurt now. "Hum, sure, I'd love to."

"I'll pick you up at eight o'clock, ok?"

"Ok, I'll be waiting."

Kurt was nervous, anxious, but above all, he was happy. He doesn't remember when the last time he felt this way was.

Punctual as a clock, Blaine arrived at Kurt's not a minute late or early. When the door opened, he saw the most beautiful creature he could see, not even his imagination could create someone as beautiful as Kurt.

"Hi! Are you ready to go?" He asked trying not to seem so nervous.

"Sure Blaine, let's go." Kurt said with a wide smile.

Walking to the elevator, Blaine couldn't omit his thoughts.

"You look stunning Kurt."

Blushing, Kurt thought, it's a dream, definitely a dream.

"Thank you and so do you. Black really fits in you."

And really did. Blaine was using black jeans with a plain white shirt and a black cardigan. The contrast between black and white was perfect.

And then they went to a cozy and warm restaurant, far from downtown, trying to avoid the hurry of New York.

They took a table close of the windows where they could see the lights fading away in the street and far from the noises. After ordering, they could finally talk and enjoy each other's company.

"Doesn't fame scare you? I don't know if I could handle it."

"At first it did, but when you do something you love and get bunch of replies that you've made right, it feels nice. I like to think that fame is having people who like my work; I'm very grateful for everyone that supports me, it's so much moving hearing hundreds of people calling you. It's really great. What about you Kurt?"

"I like working in Fashion, it's something really inspirational, I love what I do as well and I'm sure my dad would be proud if he was here."

"What happened with your dad?"

"He had a heart attack when I was 23. It's been almost a year from now. It's complicated."

"I'm sorry to hear that. But don't worry Kurt, I understand, if you don't want to talk, it's okay."

"He would have liked you, you know?"

"I'm sure I must have liked him as well for having such a special son."

The dinner went too fast for their concern, but when Kurt realized he was standing in his door with Blaine, he insisted to walk him at the door. What a gentleman.

"Thank you for dinner Blaine. I really loved it." Kurt said with a big smile. Smiling was turning something constant around Blaine.

"It was my pleasure." Smiling was something constant to Blaine as well.

"Have a good night and drive carefully." Kurt said and turned to unlock the door when Blaine reached to his arm.

"Kurt, I wanted to ask you something. I know we just met and I don't know if you feel the same, but you became someone really special to me and as crazy as it might sound, I really care about you, a lot."

Blaine came closer to Kurt and grabbed his hand. The affection touch was sending both of them shivers to their bodies all the way. It has sparkles in the air.

"I want to know if you would be my boyfriend?" Blaine asked in calm voice just inches away from Kurt's face, trapped in Kurt's gaze.

Kurt looked deep into Blaine's eyes.

His mind was screaming: run! You can't break his heart! He doesn't deserve it, go away!

His heart was like: go and take him! He loves you! Don't waste your time! Listen to me for once, please!

Although he knew he hasn't too much time left, he couldn't break Blaine's heart. But he also knew he already fell in love with him.

A tear rolled over his cheek, still trapped into Blaine's beautiful haze eyes.

"I'm sorry Blaine, I can't."

Taking his hand away from Blaine's, he walked inside his house without looking back. It was better this way. Although he didn't want break Blaine's heart by staying with him and happen something bad later, he just broke it by saying no. The only that lasted for him now was to cry.


Rejection is a feeling that changes your mind in a fraction of seconds; what seems beautiful and forever can turn into something sad and gone. It wasn't the first time Blaine was rejected, but still he didn't know how to deal with it. He couldn't understand why people didn't want him near or in their lives. Although hundreds of people out there would die just to have this chance, the only person he wanted turned him down.

It's been two days since the dinner, Blaine tried to understand but he couldn't. He wanted to know where in the middle of the path he failed. He wished Kurt felt the same, but it seems like this feeling is unilateral. Thoughts ran Blaine's mind, making him more and more confused.

But I saw the way he looked at me; it was like his eyes were trying to say something. I'm not crazy, I felt he liked me. Why things are so messed up?

After a week, Blaine started to think less about Kurt, the thoughts were still there, but didn't hurt so much now. He tried to call Kurt twice, but when he said hello, Blaine would just hang up. He didn't want to hurt him, but he also didn't know what to do. And with that, what lasted for him was trying to live again.

It's been two weeks by now and Blaine got a call from his assistant saying he would attend a photo shoot to . It was the first time he would do a photo shoot, he was nervous, but also confidant.


July 23rd, 2021

It was Friday afternoon, he arrived at Vogue's building with Rachel, his assistant. She was always like a friend, sometimes she could be not show much interest in his life, but he thought of her as friend.

It wasn't too much time; they were at the studio almost ready for the photos. He could see some of the staff with accessories, the photographer and the editor of Vogue's page who nicely welcomed him.

"Hello Mr. Anderson, my name is Isabelle Wright and I'm editor of Vogue's page. It's a pleasure have you here." She said smiling at him. He already liked her.

"Thank you so much for the opportunity, the pleasure is mine."

"We will start in a few minutes; we just have to wait the photographer finish his preparations and my assistant arrive."

Saying this, her assistant arrived with his notebook, ready to take notes of what he and Isabelle would write later. When he entered the room, he saw the least person he could expect. He didn't know that the model was Blaine Anderson. It didn't take long to Blaine realize his presence. They trapped into each other's gaze, feelings started running through them like a wave running to land.

It was seconds; just a few seconds to his world fall apart all over again.

As soon as Kurt came to greet Isabelle, the awkwardness raised.

"So, Mr. Anderson this is Kurt, my assistant. One of the most talented people I've already met."

After a few moments in silence, still choked, he finally found his voice to speak.

"Hi Kurt."

Kurt just nodded. He, differently of Blaine, couldn't talk. His feelings were suffocating him.

And then the photo shoot began; ever since Blaine would dare to look at Kurt and see him staring. His heart beats were incredibly fast, blood rushing to his face. It was a huge surprise to meet Kurt here, he knew he worked with fashion, but there's so much agents related, that he was at the one Kurt worked. It's fate.

The photo session didn't take too long to finish and soon most of the people started leaving. Blaine went to change his outfit and when he came back to the studio, there was just one person out there, waiting for him. Soon, Kurt saw Blaine arriving and both walked into each other's direction.

Standing in front of Blaine, Kurt couldn't avoid the butterflies in his stomach. It felt nice; it showed him he was alive.

"I want to talk to you." He said afraid of Blaine's reaction. After what he did, he should hate Kurt and doesn't let him talk.

Blaine stayed in silence; he didn't know what to answer. All he wanted now was to tell him how much he missed him, to forget that evening if he wants, do whatever he thinks it's right, but promise he'd stay in Blaine's life. But also he felt scared of what Kurt wants to say, he could ask him to leave him alone or something worse. Waking from these thoughts, Kurt spoke again.

"I understand if you don't want to. After what I've done, I understand." Although he tried to hide, sadness was clearly in his face.

"I missed you." It was all Blaine managed to say.

Kurt look surprised, he was feeling the rejection knocking at door and now Blaine just says he has missed him.

"I missed you too. I couldn't talk to you, I was too confused with everything and wanted to figure them out."

"I understand."

"So I wanted to know if we could talk properly? I have some things I have to explain to you."

"Yes, Kurt. Of course we can." Of course we can! It's all I want to do!

"Would you like to have dinner with me tonight?"

"Sure, what do you think about coming over and I make dinner?"

It was the second time something surprised him in less than ten minutes.

"Hum, sure."

How life is interesting! In less than an hour, Blaine's world turned upside down. When he thought he'd never see Kurt, now he has a dinner at his house.
The hours couldn't pass more slowly, but finally Blaine arrived at Kurt's. It reminded him the last time he was at this door, that feeling. But now it's different, let the past stay in the past.

Just took him one knock and the door was already opening.

"Hi. Come in!"

Kurt was stunning as always, so beautiful. A delicious smell was covering all around the apartment, being there felt nice, right. It felt like home.

Soon they were talking, the awkwardness faded away and they're enjoying the dinner. Kurt was an excellent cook; Blaine was fascinated with how talented he was at cooking. He never knew how to cook, he tried several times, but he just couldn't. Maybe Kurt could teach him.

"Thank you for the dinner Kurt. It was amazing."

"You're welcome Blaine." Kurt smiled.

"What did you want to tell me?"

"Well, it's complicated, but I'll try. That night when you asked me to be your boyfriend, I need to explain something. I said no, because I don't want to break your heart, even if I already did. I like you, I really care about you, but I can't do this to you."

"But why do you say you're going to break my heart?" Blaine was confused.

"Because I'm not staying here for too long. Soon I'll leave and I don't want you to suffer because of me."

"Leave? Where?"

"It's complicated; I can't tell you now. I just want you to know what you can get through if you want a relationship with me."

"Any minute with you is worth the risk." Blaine's eyes sparkled with tears.

"So, you still want to be my boyfriend?" Kurt asked hesitant.

Blaine stood up, Kurt followed him and they met half way each other, never losing each other's gaze.

"I've never stopped wanting you in my life and I'll never stop."

Blaine looked to Kurt's lips and then back to his eyes, as asking for permission. After receiving his answer, he lowered his lips until reach Kurt's. Perfect was the closest word of what they felt. They started slowly, just tasting each other's lips. Blaine's hand which was in his face went to Kurt's neck now and the other was just resting in Kurt's waist. Kurt's hands embraced Blaine around his neck and they stand as close as possible, dropping all these feelings that have been held back for so long.

The kiss became more passionate, Blaine's tongue started to trace Kurt's mouth, mapping an unknown territory, tasting whatever he could. Kurt explored as well, tasting every bit of Blaine's lips and mouth. His hands started traveling down, reaching Blaine's back, and caressing every bit of skin he found. After so much kissing, they parted trying to catch their breath.

"Can I confess something?" Blaine said breathless.

"Of course."

"It was my first kiss."

Kurt couldn't believe. Blaine was like twenty-five. Though surprised, it flattered him.

"Really? I hope you liked it."

"It couldn't be more perfect." Blaine said with a big smile in his face.

That was it. Blaine didn't know what he'd face forward, but he's willing to take the risk. Kurt is worthy any risk. Although he was afraid about what Kurt said, he couldn't let Kurt go away and never know how it could be if they were together.
The idea of losing Kurt scares him, but he'd rather a short time with Kurt than a life without him.

Boyfriend. That never sounded as nice as it sounds now. To have someone to share a life, fears, joys and most of all, love. Someone who cares about you and l loves you. Yeah, Kurt Hummel was happy, like really happy. In his condition, he didn't have any reason to be, but Blaine gave one to him. Although he didn't say the truth to Blaine, he knows he had to sometime. He thought Blaine would run away, because starting a relationship knowing that it won't last is insane. Maybe Blaine didn't realize, but it was a proof of how much he likes Kurt. Anyone could just leave and not waste time with him, but even knowing that he might lose Kurt any time soon, Blaine is willing to be by his side.

Kurt and Blaine were experiencing a feeling that for a long time they both didn't feel: happiness. Because just having each other, it's already enough to have a reason to wake up every day and see how much life can have its joys. For once, they weren't homeless, because now they've found each other's home.
