Hey guys! Thanks so much for your reviews! You are all so lovely! I'm writing this out in the sun so if it's not lucid you know why ;) OK so eventually this story is going to come to an end (sad I know) but if you happen to be a Merlin fan (Canadian-23 I'm looking at you ;)) I will be starting another Merlin story. It's going to be a part of my Cycle series so go check out The Cycle Begins again If you are interested! And the read The Cycle Continues! You don't have to read it if you don't want to! Ok Enough rambling, let the show continue.

Chapter 33: Graduation

Kurt's panic attack had been spread around Dalton quickly (for an all boys school they sure did thrive on gossip) and the Warbler's had taken it upon themselves to make sure that Kurt had zero stress. Blaine would always carry his bag and books, claiming that he was being chivalrous. When Blaine wasn't in his classes, Nick and Jeff were by his side constantly, offering to carry things. Thad was being comical and had made a chart and was marking Kurt's every move to make sure he wasn't doing anything stressful. Kurt thought he was acting like a stalker, a stalker with a kind heart, but a stalker none the less.

Wes and David made sure that he was eating enough a lunch and that was healthy (although Kurt was healthy eater to begin with so they didn't have to worry about that too much). Kurt found it endearing that they were all going out of their way to help him but he was also worried that he was taking up to much of their time when they needed to be studying. The first of exams were about to start and they were all cramming.

As the first exam pulled around, Blaine had made sure that Kurt was well enough to do the exam and made sure he wasn't stressed.
"Blaine, you asking me if I'm stressed is making me stress," Kurt snapped lightly. "Knock it off and worry about you."
"I'm not the one who had a panic attack," Blaine said gently. "I'm just looking out for you."
"But when I try and look out for you, you tell me no because it's too much stress?' Kurt asked, eyebrow raised.

"I just-" Blaine floundered. "Fine, point taken."
"We are a team Blaine," Kurt said, hugging Blaine. "It's not always about me."
"Can I get that in writing?" Blaine teased and Kurt rolled his eyes.
"Boys, you may take your seats. No talking from now on," Gary Dalton said. Blaine and Kurt squeezed hands, wishing each other a quite good luck and hurried to find their seats.

Time went quickly and the exam was over, much to the relief of the boys and then they were cramming for another.

They did this over the four weeks and then it was over.
The Warbler's (those who were graduating) celebrated together, having a Barbeque that was thrown by Burt as Kurt's house. Santana, Brittany, Puck and Mercedes had been invited. Finn was celebrating with Rachel elsewhere. Kurt was disappointed but didn't say anything. Ever since Rachel had been dating Finn again, Finn had distanced himself with Kurt.

Kurt new that Rachel was behind the action and Kurt wasn't going to reach out to Finn. If Finn wished he could talk to Kurt again, but Kurt wasn't going to make the effort. He had told Finn he had only one chance left and he was slowly losing it.
Burt had given a heart wrenching toast and all the Warbler's cheered and Kurt had burst into tears, hugging his father tightly.

Their graduation day was held at Dalton in the assembly hall. Every chair was taken, filled up with students, parents and siblings. Each student was called on stage and handed a certificate and a little plaque with everyone's name on them. When Kurt had been called, all the Warbler's cheered loudly and Burt had whistled. Kurt blushed and everyone chuckled at the over enthusiastic applause. After everyone had been called, the Valedictorian (Wes) made their speech. Everyone clapped loudly for Wes and he stepped down.

And that was it. They were finally finished school. A lunch had been provided and there was heaps of chatter in the air. Blaine and Kurt didn't leave each other's sides as they talked with their friends. Carol hadn't been able to make it as Finn's graduation was on at the same time. Finn had been disappointed that Burt was going to be there but it was only fair that he saw his biological son graduate while Carol watched her biological son graduate.

The lunch lasted the rest of the afternoon and Kurt was sad when it was time to leave. Dalton had given him his life back, had given him close friends that he would stay in contact with and had given him Blaine.
"I'm going to miss this place," Blaine sighed and Kurt hugged him tightly. "Me too."

They hugged all their friends before heading to the car. Blaine was heading back to his place to start getting ready to pack for New York. One week and they would be there.
They had found an apartment for four that was cheap. Their parents would help them pay until they found jobs and then it was up to them.
Santana, Brittany, Kurt and Blaine couldn't wait to leave Ohio.

Carol had thrown together a huge dinner for Kurt and Finn and congratulated them on graduating. Kurt asked how it went and Finn gave details about it, focusing heavily on Rachel performing at their graduation and being the star of the event. Kurt refrained from commenting at the point and Carol looked a little uneasy.

Rachel was always one for dramatics. Finn barely asked any questions about Dalton's graduation but Carol was interested and she asked Kurt all about it and demanded to see the photo's that Burt had taken.
While Kurt and Finn were cleaning up, Kurt turned to Finn.
"Congratulations Finn," Kurt said.
"Thanks dude," Finn grinned and continued drying.

Finn didn't say it back to Kurt and Kurt frowned.
"Is everything OK?" Kurt asked.
"Yeah, why wouldn't it be?" Finn asked.
"You've just been distant lately," Kurt said. Ok, so he knew he wasn't going to reach out to Finn but he caved. He was too forgiving.

"I'm getting used to it," Finn said. "You're not going to be here anymore, and you probably won't keep contact with me."
"How could you think that?" Kurt asked, shocked. "You are my step-brother. I thought we were doing OK."
Finn sighed.

"We are. But you're going to New York with Blaine and you won't have time for me," Finn shrugged.
"That's ridiculous Finn," Kurt said, shaking his head. "I'll come visit and talk to you on the phone. I'm not just cutting you out of my life. You are important to me."
"I am?" Finn asked.
"Yes Finn," Kurt said, rolling his eyes. "You didn't think you were?"
"You were just so mad at me," Finn said quietly.

"Because you are important to me. Things hurt more when they come from people you love Finn, you know that," Kurt said.
"Yeah," Finn said quietly.
"Is there something bothering you?" Kurt asked.
"You were right about Rachel," Finn said. "She dumped after the lunch at graduation, telling me that her dream was in New York and that she couldn't let anyone get in her way, including me."

"I'm really sorry Finn," Kurt said sincerely.
"I just thought, she was the one," Finn said miserably.

"You'll meet someone," Kurt said. "Don't worry."
"Thanks Kurt," Finn said. "Do I get to help you pack for New York?"
"Who do you think is doing all the heavy lifting," Kurt teased and Finn grinned.

The week went quickly and Kurt's room was packed up. He was only taking the most important things because he would be sharing a room with Blaine (eep!). Burt and Carol were coming to New York to help them set up and get settled.
The plane ride over and Kurt could barely contain his excitement, either could his three roommates. They were loud and happy the whole way over.

They took a taxi to their apartment and went to collect their keys. Each of them christening their keys by opening it and locking it (Brittany nearly broke her key in the door) and then they were looking around, talking a mile a minute about where their things could go. Their parents watched amused and a little sadly. Their babies would be leaving them.

Their things arrived in the afternoon and they lugged it into the apartment and started helping them un-pack and set things up. Burt set the TV up while the mothers put their kitchen wear away.
Blaine and Kurt were setting up their bed while Santana and Brittany did theirs (Brittany was surprisingly handy with a screw driver). Finn and the other dad carried all the heavy things into their apartment.

By dinner time, most of their stuff had been unpacked and they ordered their very first pizza from a pizza shop not too far down. They ate on the couch and floor (They still hadn't set up their table) and watched TV. It was late when they left, leaving the four of them in their new apartment.
"Brittany and I call first shower," Santana smirked, grabbing Brittany's hand and pulling her into the bathroom.

Kurt and Blaine shuddered.
"I don't want to know," Blaine said, looking horrified.
"I guess we will just have to get used to it," Kurt said, eyes wide.
"Want to go to the bedroom, as far away as them as possible?" Blaine asked.
"Yes please," Kurt said, taking Blaine's hand and dragging him through the apartment and to their room.

Kurt froze in the door way.
"I can't believe this is our room," Kurt breathed. Blaine wrapped his arms around Kurt's waist from behind and started kissing his neck.
"I love the sound of that," Blaine grinned and Kurt chuckled breathlessly.

"Get used to it," Kurt smirked and Blaine chuckled. He pushed Kurt in and shut the door behind them. He moved Kurt to the bed and spun him around, pushing him on to his back. Kurt scrambled back so that he was resting on the pillows and then Blaine was hovering over him, pressing his body against his. Kurt couldn't take it anymore and wrapped his arms around Blaine's neck and pulled him down into a kiss, pulling Blaine's body down too.

Blaine happily kissed Kurt passionately, handing skimming over Kurt's body and to the edge of his shirt. Kurt moaned and this urged Blaine on, his hand dipping under the shirt and travelling up his shirt, feeling the tones body underneath. Kurt shivered with pleasure and arched his body into Blaine touch. Kurt hands were doing their own exploration and travelling down Blaine's back, feeling the muscles under his touch until the rested just above his ass.

Blaine brushed Kurt's nipple with his thumb and Kurt moaned, hips bucking into Blaine's.
The ripped away, panting and Blaine ducked his head to kiss Kurt's collar bone, sucking a hickey there. Kurt's hands wandered further down to rest on Blaine's ass. Blaine moaned and Kurt pushed, shoving Blaine's hips against his. Blaine grinded down with a strangled moan.

"Kurt," he moaned, grinding harder and Kurt moaned.
Both new they wouldn't last long. The excitement of the day, being finally out of Ohio. They were rushing, lost in the moment. They hadn't done this or talked about it but Kurt was ready and so was Blaine.
"God Blaine, I love you," Kurt moaned, nibbling on Blaine's ear.
"Kurt," Blaine whined. "Love you so much."
"Yes!" Kurt moaned.

They reached their peaks and collapsed against each other, hearts pounding and panting hard.
Kurt ran his finger's though Blaine's curls and Blaine rolled off Kurt, laying beside him.
"Perfect," Kurt said, kissing Blaine sweetly on the lips before he could question if it was OK or if he had gone too far.
"Perfect," Blaine agreed.

Kurt shifted and scrunched his nose.
"We need to change," Kurt said and Blaine winced.
"Yeah, we really do," Blaine agreed and the both laughed.

Brittany and Santana fell asleep in each other's arms that night, happier then they had ever been. They had done it, reached their dreams and their lives were about to start.
Blaine held Kurt close and watched him sleep for a while. Blaine had never been happier and didn't know how he had spent most of his life without Kurt. When Blaine fell asleep that night, he knew that his life was going to be OK, because he had Kurt and Kurt had him.

Please review! Ok so I know a lot of you are going to hate me and want to see Blaine and Kurt in New York but I feel that this has come to a nice conclusion don't you. And I know that they moved to New York really quickly but I can't honestly see them staying in Ohio for long. Don't fear, my loyal readers, there will be an epilogue so there will be another chapter but sadly this story is coming to an end. So Brace yourselves and get your comfort food out! Love you all and please don't hate!
