Chapter 2

Blaine smiled softly when he felt a warm body cuddling against him, followed by a strong arm that held his protectively around his waist. The strong scent of coffee was overwhelming and Blaine laughed, "You know you don't have to do this each Sunday morning? We've been living together for three weeks now, someday I'll have to get used to not having breakfast on bed." Blaine pouted and tangled their legs together.

"But today is not the day." Daniel answered and sat up straight, holding the croissant in front of Blaine's lips. The other man was trying so hard to resist it until he gave in and took a bite of it. Blaine moaned when he tasted the warm croissant and took a deep breath "Okay, forget what I said. You simply won't ever stop with breakfast on bed." He chuckled and leaned in to kiss him lovingly. Blaine only pulled away to feed Daniel a bit of his croissant."

It was just perfect. Each Sunday, they tried to have as many household chores done, so they could enjoy their lazy Sunday in bed. They cuddled in bed before and after breakfast. Then they would start making out and make love. It had started to become a routine, but neither of them wanted to change a thing. Their relationship was still adventurous enough to keep it exciting. Not that they needed an exciting life, or sex life. Blaine was sure that they were soul mates and they knew each other's needs.

If only one of them knew, that their Sunday mornings would be so limited.

Blaine bit on his lip when he saw the notification on his Facebook. This person, Kurt, could give him many answers. Even though he had no idea what he was looking for. He just wanted to know more about his past. There must be something he was hiding about everything that happened before college. Otherwise he would have told him about everything, just like Blaine had done. It still felt so wrong for Blaine to dig in his past. Especially since he was dead. Maybe he didn't want this at all and he couldn't defend himself.

He stood up and put his laptop away for a bit and walked towards the kitchen to prepare lunch. Was it really that wrong that he wanted to know more about his husband? Could someone really blame him for wanting to talk with people who had known him years before he did? Was he a bad person for just being desperate about all of this? Blaine wished that he could talk to someone about this. Brenda used to be the person who was always there for him, but Blaine had neglected their friendship and he just couldn't randomly talk to her and pretend like nothing had happened.

After dinner, he had decided that it wasn't wrong. It was not like he would find a deep dark secret about Daniel. He would have told him if there was a deep dark secret in his past. He made himself comfortable on his side on the couch. Even after all those months, Blaine never dared to sit on Daniel's side of the couch. They had their own places and it had just become a habit. It was a habit that Blaine never wanted to stop. Just like all their habits. People would probably think it was pathetic that he started crying if he woke up on Daniel's side of the bed. But it just felt so wrong to wake up on his side of the bed, without him being there.

Blaine started his computer and opened Facebook, taking a big deep breath before he finally clicked on the message and started reading.

Dear Blaine Anderson,

I'm really sorry to hear about Daniel's death.. I haven't heard about him since after graduation and I must say that it's a huge shock.. We all wondered where he was and what he had been up to. Him being sick never crossed our mind.. Neither my friends or I have heard from him after graduation. He just left and never really told us about his plans. I do am happy to read that he was married and had a happy life. I'm more than willing to help you with your questions. I hope I can answer as many as possible and give you some kind of closure.. Or whatever you're trying to find.
Kind regards,
Kurt Hummel

Blaine reread the message a few times and thought about what he had just read. He stood up and took the yearbook picture with them, which only confused him more. This must have been taken a few weeks before graduation and he looked really happy to be with his friends. But why would he break all the contact with them? It didn't make any sense towards Blaine, because Dan always used to be the one to call a friend first when he thought they hadn't enough contact. Even when they had a fight, it was always him who reached out towards Blaine first to make up.

Hi Kurt Hummel,

First of all, I want to thank you for trying to help me out. You have no idea how much this means to me. After graduation, Daniel moved towards New York and studied economics in NYU. That's where he met me. We were in the same class and it was love at the first sight. Or at the first conversation, since he had seen me before and I was just being a nerd and only paying attention to my books. I'm really shocked to see that he cut you guys off.. It's not how I remember him. Did something happen? Was he bullied? Did it have to do with the divorce of his parents?
I'm sorry if I'm overwhelming you with questions.. I just really want to hold on to something and knowing the person who I married would mean a lot me.

Blaine Anderson

Since we're around the same age, we should we less formal. It feels a bit awkward.
Hmm, New York.. Big city and such a waste I didn't know about his whereabouts because I would have loved to see him again. Especially if he was sick.. I just feel really bad about this. I'm sorry.
Look, Blaine. You don't need to find out who he was, because you knew Daniel probably a lot better than us. But to answer your questions: no he wasn't bullied and his parents divorced two years before graduation so it probably has nothing to do with that.
I understand you. I really do, but maybe you should try to hold on to the memories you have.

Kurt closed his eyes when he sent the message to Blaine. He felt bad about not telling him a huge part about Daniel's past, but was that what the other man needed? To hear something about his husband's past and make him question everything about the boy he knew. Kurt wondered why he was doing this in the first place. It was not like he knew Blaine personally, but he must have been a good man if he got to marry Daniel.

Daniel was Kurt's first crush who was not straight. His personality was a lot like Finn's since they were both the most popular guys in school. Somehow they were also very different. Daniel was more responsible and tried to talk to everyone. During sports, he always made sure to pick the 'losers' first so they would feel a bit better about themselves. He was also Kurt's first kiss. During one of their glee meetings, they talked about their fears.
"I'm scared I'll never find a boy who will ever want to kiss me." Kurt had said with a small voice. The man could still remember how awkward it had felt to share such a fear. Santana and Quinn had laughed and Kurt ran out because he just felt too embarrassed.

That was when Daniel offered to kiss him. He gave him the pep talk that he needed to hear and then he asked Kurt if he could kiss him. Of course, Kurt didn't say no and he knew it was just a kiss for Daniel. To him it had meant a lot more than that, but he didn't blame him at all.
After the kiss, they became good friends and that's also where they drew the line. Kurt didn't want more, because he looked up to him and being his friend was already more than enough.

It wasn't an exaggeration if you'd say that Daniel was the most popular guy on school. It had nothing to do with his looks or his wealthy parents. He had to thank everything to his personality and empathy. Everyone loved him and he didn't even have to try, unlike a few other people. Dan had been the most loved person on school, until everything changed after winter break.

Blaine couldn't help but feel like Kurt was just trying to get rid of him. Maybe it was just his imagination, but he mostly felt it when someone just didn't want to talk to him. Was Kurt trying to hide something from him? Was there something important that he was not telling him on purpose? It made Blaine's head hurt when he thought about all the different scenarios. What could be so worse about telling about your high school life? Of course, high school wasn't fun for most people, but he seemed so happy on all those pictures and people also seemed to happy to be near him.

You're living in New York, right? Can we meet?

AN: Thank you so much for still being here and reading this story. I really hope I'm not letting you guys down. Also, it's not really my goal to be one of those people, but it would mean a lot to me if you shared your feelings (positive and negative), thoughts,.. with me so I have some feedback to work with. I just want this story to be good and that's only possible with your help.
