A/N - So seeing as all of my friends have deserted me this summer to go to all parts of the world for weeks on end (Although my best friend is back on the 19th after a 3 week long ass holiday :D), Nobody in the UK seems capable of giving me a job and not to mention that i get my AS level results tommorow which i'm basically crapping bricks over - writing this is the only thing that is keeping me sane right now. So can i just say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who alerted, favourited and reviewed this story - You guys literally put the biggest smile on my face, i was completely shocked and overwhelmed. I obviously wanted people to read this but i was definately not expecting the reaction i got so seriously, THANK YOU SO MUCH. I literally started writing Chapter 2 that same night cause i had so much motivation. So i love you guys basically :)

So this is part 2 - I hope you guys like it ;O - We're still in the middle of Blaine thinking back on how he found out so as soon as the story stops being in italics, we're back in like real time :D

Disclaimer - I dont own Glee - If i did, i'd probably eventually just fade everyone into the background and make it all about Kurt and Blaine ;)

It felt like the long winding highway was never going to end. The normal two hour drive over the state lines felt like an eternity today. It was a good thing it was nearing sunset and the roads were pretty empty because Blaine was pretty sure he was doing over the speed limit but he didn't care today because Kurt was his only priority at the moment and he just needed to get to him as fast as he could. All manner of thoughts were running frantically through Blaine's mind as he drove along the protracted road "'What the hell's going on? Is Kurt okay? Why are they at the hospital? Why did Burt call me and Kurt didn't?" So many questions were coming into his head that he didn't know the answers to and he realised his first question still had yet to be answered - "What happened at the Doctors?"

This was going to be a long drive.

As soon as Blaine arrived at the Lima Memorial Hospital, he pulled into the first space he could find, grabbed his phone, wallet and jacket from the passenger seat and practically sprinted to the reception doors where the sliding doors that would have normally appeared to have opened in supersonic speed seemed to be opening slower than a snail sliding across the concrete ground. He quickly realised that Burt hadn't actually told him where to go once he found himself inside the morose building but he didn't have to think for long.

"Blaine"

Blaine spun around on his heels to find an exhausted Burt standing right behind him. The puffiness of his bloodshot eyes uncovered the fact that Burt had been crying - probably not that long before Blaine had arrived too.

"Oh god if Burts crying, it must be bad" he thought.

"Burt. W-what's going on, Where's Kurt?"

Looking away from Blaine, The older man slowly closed his eyes and slightly shook his head. He knew he was about to deliver some of the worst news anyone could ever hear in their life and Blaine was only 19 - nothing could possibly prepare him for this. Burt sometimes forgot that Blaine was still only a teenager. He acted so mature beyond his years that he often overlooked the fact that he was only a year older than Kurt.

"Not here son" He walked over to Blaine and placed a gentle hand against his back, guiding him to the private family room they'd been allowed to use - He figured there was no way Blaine would want strangers around him once he knew. The room was small with plastic chairs lined up against all four of the light blue walls with a coffee table centred in the middle of the floor. A slight chill danced through the windows, lingering in the air causing Blaine to shiver slightly as he walked into the bleak room.

"Listen, Kiddo, I know your desperate to see Kurt but I need to tell you something first."

"Burt W-what's.."

"Please Blaine just..." Blaine nodded sensing the difficulty Burt was having in whatever it was he wanted to say. He was just so concerned and full of panic that he just needed answers but he let him continue - he'd get his answers soon enough. "Now Kurt didn't think he'd be able to tell you this so he asked me to - is t-that okay with you?"

"Yeah, I mean of course j-just..."

"Okay...I'll just start at the beginning then." he exhaled a few times, regaining his composure, sat up straight against the chair, turned to Blaine and began. "Okay, well you know Kurt had his doctors appointment on Friday right. Well the doctor seemed pretty concerned so he asked Kurt to come back in this morning so that he could spend more time with him and, you know, get a more detailed outlook on things. So we were with the doctor- and-one minute Kurt was talking, the next, he'd...he'd f-fainted"

"Wha-"

"Yeah, so Dr Williams called an ambulance and got him admitted here as soon as possible, I mean he came round in the ambulance but, I could see it on their faces, it-it was like they were piecing all the symptoms together"

"Symptoms? Wait wh-"

Burt promptly held up a finger to let Blaine know he wasn't finished. It wasn't intended to be a rude gesture but he just had to get it all out - with no interruptions and he didn't want to leave Blaine too much time to think about what he had just told him when the worst was yet to leave his mouth.

"So we got here, he was admitted him into a room and the nurses decided it would be best to do some blood tests. So they did. And t-the results came back about an hour before I called you"

Worried wasn't even the word to describe how Blaine was feeling now - he was absolutely petrified.

"B-Burt? W-what is it? Did-oh my god-did-did they find something"

This was it. There was no going back now. The next word was surely going to change Blaines life just like Kurt's and Burts had been hours before.

"Kurt, he-Its Cancer."

Well that was the last thing Blaine expected.

He let out a scoff in disbelief - surely this wasn't true...right? Burts face confirmed that no, this was indeed true. "I'm sorry, what?"

"Its Leukaemia. Its stage two so their pretty hopeful at the moment but.."

Blaines chest started to heave up and down as his heart started to constrict. He felt like he couldn't breathe. He lifted a hand to his mouth and whispered "Oh my god" before resting his head in both his hands. "Oh my god" he kept whispering to himself.

Without warning, Blaine suddenly felt a sympathetic hand on his shoulder. "I'm so sorry kiddo, I-I know its a lot to take in. Do-do you need some time alone?"

Drops of grief started to escape from Blaines eyes as he nodded slowly in response to Burts question.

"Okay, I'll be in the waiting room if you need anything. Carole's on her way over and I think she's picking up Finn too - she's only just found someone to cover her shift - s-she doesn't know 'everything' yet." Blaine mournfully nodded at Burt, understanding exactly what Burt meant by 'everything'. "I'm er, I'm giving him some space at the moment - the last thing I want to do is overcrowd him but I know he's waiting for you - but take your time. He doesn't know you're here yet so he cant get angry at you for taking too long right?" Burt suggested trying to lighten the dejected mood.

"Yeah I-I guess" The older man started to make his way out of the room when he heard "Burt" which caused him to turn back and see the painful sight of the broken boy in front of him. "What room is he in?"

"Oh sorry - he's in 317. Just tell the Nurses station you're here for him and they'll let you through."

And with that Blaine found himself alone in the empty room with nothing but his thoughts to accompany him.

I cant believe this is actually happening

It was only when Blaine found himself outside room 317 that he realised that he'd actually managed to remove himself from the plastic chair situated in the family room and make his way onto the hospital ward. He felt like he was having an out of body experience - it was like he wasn't even in control of his own body anymore - like he was just dreamily drifting along on a white fluffy cloud of happiness. Except this cloud was Grey. Dark grey - Black even and happiness was one thing it was certainly not. His body was just drifting along on a dark cloud of depression. He watched as his hand knocked against the closed door twice which then elicited a "Come in" from the younger boy waiting for him on the other side.

Kurt face broke out into a smile as he realised who he had given permission to come into the room. "Hey sweetie. Now before you even say something Anderson cause I know you're thinking up some witty comment to say to me about this gown but as soon as I am out of here, I-"

Even though he was looking at him, Kurt only just acknowledged the fact that a solemn boy stood before him who looked at him like his world was about to end at any minute. "Pull yourself together. Kurt needs you right now" Blaine thought to himself but at that moment in time, his emotions were so strong they overpowered his conscious.

Kurts tone turned more serious. He kept his voice low as he looked sympathetically at Blaine. "Did he tell you?"

Blaine had to look away as he felt a fresh set of unshed tear travel up towards his eyes. He had to be strong for Kurt. A single tear glided down his cheekbone as he nodded. He heard Kurt exhale and shuffing as Kurt made room on the bed for Blaine to lie with him. He patted the space that he'd created. "Come here. Come on"

As the older boy made himself comfortable in the space he'd been given, Kurt wrapped his arm around his shoulders, pulling him so close that Blaine could hear Kurts heartbeat as he buried his head into his chest. The younger boy placed a chaste kiss to the older boys forehead.

"Hi" Kurt whispered.

"I'm so sorry" Blaine whispered as tear after tear escaped from the corners of his hazel eyes. He didn't quite know what he was apologizing for. Was he sorry that he was crying in front of Kurt when he promised to himself that he would be strong for his boyfriend? Was he sorry that he hadn't been with Kurt when he found out? Was he sorry that Kurt had cancer?

"Hey." Blaine felt a strong, warm hand clasp his cheek, forcing him to look into the blue eyes of the boy who was staring intently at him. "You have absolutely nothing to be sorry for okay. Now I promise you, everything is going to be fine." Kurt brushed his thumb against his boyfriends cheek gently wiping away a tear that had released itself from the hazel eyes. He started to run his fingers through Blaines hair, loving the fact that it was ungelled so he had the opportunity to tug gently at the soft, familiar curls. He was literally trying absolutely anything to relax Blaine, anything that would help him feel just that little bit better. "Are you okay?"

Kurt had always been a selfless person and was always thinking about others - it was one of the many things Blaine fell in love with but seriously? Kurt was the one who needed to be comforted right now so why was he acting the stronger one out of the two of them. Especially at this moment in their lives, Kurt was allowed to be selfish. "Are you serious? You've just been told some of the worst news ever and you're asking me if I'm okay?"

"Just because I have cancer, doesn't mean I've lost the ability to care. It doesn't mean that I cant look after my boyfriend and ask him if he's alright."

"I should be the one looking after you though." Blaine mumbled, his voice muffled by the younger boy's chest.

"You already are just by being here you big dope"

When Burt had left him alone in the family room earlier that night, Blaine had promised to himself that he was going to look after Kurt and be there for him every step of the way. He was determined to keep that promise and he was going to start right now.

"Are you okay?"

Kurt pondered on those 3 words for a moment. He'd had a lot of time to think about everything since being told but he hadn't actually had to say how he felt out loud yet.

"Kind of. I mean, I'm scared - really scared actually, but, I mean, its just the beginning really. We've still got a long way to go."

He was right though. This really was the beginning. Who knew how long this would be a fixture of their lives - it could be years. The thought of Kurt possibly suffering for years caused Blaine even more unimaginable heartbreak than he already felt. He didn't even want to think about how long this could go on for.

"What's gonna happen now? I mean-"

"Doctor-doc-oh crap I've forgotten his name already but he's gonna come in first thing tomorrow morning and talk to us about Chemotherapy treatment plans I can do or other options we can explore."

Blaines private thoughts suddenly came spilling out of his mouth. "You thought it was exhaustion."

"Hmm. What's that babe?"

"You-you thought it was exhaustion. And the f-fevers and even this" Blaine brought his hand up to the bruise that still lay against Kurts arm. "They were all signs weren't they. They were there and I-I didn't even notice them"

Realising what Blaine was saying, Kurt sat up straight on the bed, taking Blaines hands in his and bringing him up too. He wanted Blaine to look him in the eye when he said this. He needed him to believe every single word of what he was going to say.

"Blaine Anderson, don't you even dare try to start blaming yourself for this. This is my body and I didn't even realise so how could you have. Sweetie, you-you cant start beating yourself up over something you have no way of controlling."

"But if I'd noticed earlier, or if we'd got you to the doctors earlier or-"

"Or what? Baby you can sit here and wonder "What if, what if" until the cows come home but at the end of the day, we'd still be in the same position we're in now - the outcome would have still been the same. Now this isn't the end okay - we are going to get through this and everything will be okay"

"But you don't know that Kurt. None of us do"

"I know but...Okay look, you know when Dad had his heart attack?"

Blaine nodded in response, confused as to where Kurt was going with this but intrigued all the same.

"Well Mercedes took me to church one Sunday. Maybe it was her one last attempt to try and convert me but she told me something that's stuck with me since that day. She said that I had to believe in something - something bigger than me because life is too hard to go through alone. Now I don't know how much comfort that offers you but, I guess what I'm trying to say is, you just have to hope."

A single tear dropped down Blaines cheek as he looked up, where he realised that a single tear had betrayed the eyes of his boyfriend too.

"I just-I love you so much Kurt that the-the thought of losing you - I-I cant even"

"You're not going to lose me. How could I go anywhere when the thought of a future with you is enough to make me want to fight this with every fibre in my body."

Kurt brought one of his hands to the back of Blaines neck and placed a tender kiss to his lips. As they broke away from the embrace, they pressed their foreheads against each others - their many thoughts and emotions cognitively uniting them.

"I love you" Blaine whispered

"I love you too"

The two boys lips met in unison once again as they shared another kiss. This one, more passionate than the last but tender and sweet all the same. As they broke away, Blaine placed a chaste kiss to Kurts forehead."

"You should get some sleep" he whispered to the younger boy as he wrapped a protective arm over his shoulders and brought Kurt back down to lay on the hospital bed.

As the two lay there, in silence, their apprehensive breathing the only sound being heard around the room, one thought kept returning to the forefront of Blaines thoughts.

Just one.

Please be okay Kurt - don't leave me.

The moon had taken its curtain call as the sun began to slowly make a reprise to the still fairly dark, blue sky. Blaine had no idea what time it was but he guessed it was around 4am-ish. Kurt had been sleeping for a few hours now and as much as Blaine wanted to join him in dreamland (dreamland was certainly better than reality at this moment), his eyes, body and mind failed to agree with him. Knowing Kurts sleeping patterns like he knew the back of his hand, he knew Kurt wouldn't wake up at least for another couple of hours so he placed a soft kiss to his forehead and silently promised to himself that he would be back before Kurt would even became aware that he had gone in the first place. The fact that Kurts forehead still held a slight fever reaffirmed everything he had been told earlier that night.

As he incautiously shuffled down the corridors of the hospitals, Blaine remembered why he always held such a deep repugnance towards the acrimonious buildings. He didn't even know it was possible to hate so many things in one place. The continuous, repeated beeping sounds coming from various machines around the wards ringed relentlessly in his ears. For all he knew, the machines could have been for anything - they could have been a machine that was just simply monitoring a patients heart rate or the beeping could have belonged to a patient on life support, fighting for their life with everything they had. The smell of bleach that wafted through the air, concealing any unwelcome scent but not strong enough to obscure the aroma of the hospital food that drifted from the on ward kitchens and cafeterias. Strangers surrounded by strangers in an impersonal waiting room, each either revelling joyfully in good news, some distraught and inconsolable by bad news and some apprehensive with panic at the result of no news. Yeah, Blaine really hated hospitals.

As he wondered aimlessly around the corridors, he'd found himself standing outside of the Cafeteria. 'Might as well get a coffee while I'm here'. Sure it would be no 'Medium Drip' from The Lima bean but anything would've tasted good today. As he held the hot beverage in his hand, he instantly recognised the burly form of his boyfriends father sitting alone at a coffee table, slumped in the chair.

"Hey Burt"

The older man looked up at the boy from under the peak of his navy baseball cap. Blaine fondly remembered the time when Kurt had practically begged his dad to let Kurt buy him a brand new cap for him but Burt out right refused exclaiming "This is my lucky hat Kurt" which Kurt refused to listen to, bought him a cap anyway which much to Kurts dismay, was isolated to the depths of Burts wardrobe and was never to be seen again.

"Oh hey Kiddo." Burt gestured to the chair opposite from him to which Blaine sat down in. " I told Carole and Finn to go home a couple of hours ago"

"Oh right. How erm, How were they?"

"Shocked. Devastated basically. I mean Carole just broke down in tears and Finn, well I don't think he knew what to say exactly. He just sort of sat there in disbelief really - but he sort of always has that look on his face. Sorry, now's not really the time to joke huh"

Blaine let out a slight chuckle. "No its not but I know exactly what you mean about Finn. Besides, we could all do with a little pick me up at the moment."

Burt smiled sadly. "Yeah. They'll be back in a few hours for when Doctor Rolstone wants to talk to us - I think they said he'll come in around 9"

"Oh is that his name then?"

"Huh?"

"Oh sorry, Kurt, he er, couldn't remember the name of the Doctor - I'm guessing that's him though?"

"Oh er, yeah that's him." Burt's eyes focused on Blaine, like he was studying every feature about the boy in front of him. He could see the faint lines of the tears that had run down his cheeks earlier that night. He noticed the redness of his eyes - he guessed that was the result of a priceless concoction of crying and tiredness. Blaines usually well groomed hair was now unkempt, not untidy but more unruly than usual - Burt could tell he'd run his hands through it countless times because of stress. The final thing he noticed was the young boys posture. Blaine was a confident young man and that always was visible in how he talked, stood, sat etc. But today, his body slumped to one side as he held his head in his right hand, his left hand holding the cappuccino he'd bought minutes before. Without Blaine having to say a single word, his appearance told Burt everything - he was broken.

"How you holding up kiddo"

Blaine didn't quite know how to answer that. he hesitated for a breath before replying "As good as can be I guess. You?"

"As good as can be"

Blaine smiled sadly at the man he had come to know and love as if he was his own father before taking a sip of his incredibly hot but incredibly cheap tasting coffee.

"How was er, how was Kurt when you were with him?"

"Scared but surprisingly okay. I mean he was the one looking after me more than I was him."

"Sounds like him"

"I know but, I felt so guilty. I felt like I should've been doing everything I could to just help him and let him know I'm going to be there for him but, I don't know, everything just seemed so unreal at the time and my emotions just sort of took control"

"He already knows Blaine. You don't have to tell him anything - he knows you're going to be there and I know you're going to be there. You know I love you like your my own son Blaine and I have a lot of respect for you. I mean, I don't know where Kurt would be if you hadn't come into his life."

"I don't know where I'd be if he hadn't come into mine"

Burt smiled at Blaines simple but sweet answer. He loved hearing about Blaines love towards Kurt. His son had suffered so much in his life so to hear how he was loved deeply by someone who his son loved just as much - it warmed Burts heart.

"But seriously, You know I had to watch him go through life scared, and alone. I even told him at one point that until he found someone as brave as he was, he would have to get used to going at life alone and I hoped so much for the day he would find someone like you. And when he did, I watched the fear in him slowly decrease until it was practically non-existent. You did that Blaine and for that, I will always be thankful to you."

"Burt are you trying to bring up a fresh set of tears cause if you are, you're going the right way about it" Blaine remarked whilst sniffing, trying to hold back like he said, a fresh set of tears.

"I'm not kid, I just, I needed you to know that."

"That means a lot Burt. Thank you"

"So I been thinking a lot about this and I want to ask you something"

"Okay? Should-should I be worried?"

Burt let out a soft laugh as he shook his head. "I was hoping that you would consider moving in with us."

"What. Are-are you serious"

"I wouldn't have asked if I wasn't. Look, I know that throughout this whole...ordeal, your gonna want to be with Kurt - I mean heck you even told me so yourself a few minutes ago. I know Kurt will want you there and truth be told, I want you there too."

"Gee well yeah. Yes of course. Thank you so much Burt, you have no idea how much this means to me"

"No problem, but there's one condition."

And here it was. Blaine knew there had to be some sort of catch. It was just too good to be true.

"I want you to know that this 'moving in' deal - it doesn't just apply throughout the time that Kurts ill."

The confused expression that was wiped across Blaines face told Burt that he was going to have to elaborate further."

"Look, I don't know the in's and out's of everything that happened with your parents in Senior year but for you to leave home because you were dating Kurt - you know, that's a pretty big deal. And like I said, I know Kurt will want you there with him throughout this whole thing but I want you to know that you have a place you can call your home for as long as you want."

Speechless. Blaine was completely and utterly speechless. This man sitting in front of him, in the 2 years he had known him and right at this moment, had showed him more love and compassion than his own father had done in his entire life.

"I-I-Thank you. Seriously Burt, I cant think of any words to actually - just- Thank you"

"Don't sweat it buddy. You practically live there anyway when you're not at school so might as well make it official"

Burt had no problem with Blaine moving in - he already thought of him as his honorary son in law despite only being 19. He knew the two boys were in this relationship for the long haul - he had accepted a long time ago that this was more than just a high school romance. He knew that Blaine was most likely 'the one' for Kurt and Kurt was 'the one' for Blaine - he could see it whenever the two were together. They were so in sync with each other that Burt felt nothing but happiness for the two of them. Burt had always liked Blaine, even before him and Kurt started dating. Blaine cared for Kurt and the spring in his sons steps whenever the two had spoken or been together was visible from a mile off. Kurt needed Blaine as much as Blaine needed Kurt.

Blaine decided that he could spend a little longer sitting with Burt. After all, Kurt wasn't the only one that was suffering.

No Cliffhanger endingg ;D
