Disclaimer: Own nothing.

A/N: Thanks so much for the reviews, and alerts. You guys rock. Hope you all are enjoying the story :) Sorry it's been a couple of days since I posted, people actually requested my presence in real life. For those who like zombie stories, I have started a kurtofsky one. I already have a lot written . It wont be posted till Wednesday though. I'm requiring my little Sis to proofread.

"The course of true love never did run smooth." William Shakespeare

The smell of burnt powder and paper still hang in the air. " Jeremiah?" Great just what I need today, to relive the most embarrassing day of my life. Man he looks good.

Jeremiah smiles, " It's me." The two stand face to face as the sea of people part around them.

Blaine, " I almost didn't recognize you, your hair." Blushing," It really looks good short."

Jeremiah, " Thanks, I needed a change. I'm glad to see you, " Looking at his feet, " I owe you an apology. I was mad that day about my job, and I took it out on you."

Blaine, " It's not necessary, I shouldn't have embarrassed you like that."

Jeremiah, shakes his head, " No it is. What you did was sweet... and I trampled all over it."

Blaine looks down, not wanting to remember that day, " If I hadn't done it, you would not have lost your job."

Jeremiah touches Blaine under the chin lifting his face, " My boss was a homophobe, that's why I wasn't out at work. It not your fault. I'm so sorry I took that out on you."

Blaine, " I still shouldn't have done it."

Jeremiah his hand now on Blaine's cheek, slightly stroking, " Don't say that. It was the most romantic thing anyone has ever done for me. Besides it worked out for my benefit."

Blaine, " What?"

Jeremiah, hand dropping as he grins, "One of my regular customers found out. Mr Berry, He asked where I was, and when he found out why I got fired he got the ACLU involved. I was reinstated with back pay. The best part, Is they fired my Boss and your now looking at his replacement."

Blaine smiling, " That's great. I felt so bad."

Jeremiah, " I feel awful for how I treated you." looking Blaine over, " Can I buy you dinner sometime?... You know as an apology."

Blaine looks at his phone, seeing there are no new messages, " Sure."

Dave's Couch

The hum of the window air conditioner, along with the beating of Dave's heart almost lull Kurt to sleep. Laying on Dave's bare chest, Kurt's soft cheek cushioned on crisp chest hair. His brain would not quiet down enough for him to relax. Looking at the clock, he thinks of Blaine. He's in bed by now. What am I going to say to him? Oh gaga I feel so damn guilty. Here I am with Dave, and Blaine probably went home and stayed in his room all night, missing the end of the fair. He was so excited about tonight. One look at me and he'll know where I was. Burrowing further into Dave's chest. Does this make me a cheater, even if I'm going to break it off when I get home. Set him free.

Dave knows the minute Kurt's thoughts turn to Blaine. Feeling the slender body a top of his tense. This is by far the best night of my life, prep boy is not gonna ruin it. When he had opened the door to find Kurt, he thought he was asleep and having a vivid dream. Kurt jumping into his arms and kissing him, didn't help dispell that thought. Even now a while later, laying with Fancy in his arms, he has the urge to pinch himself. I'm afraid to talk or move. Afraid he'll either disappear, or jump up and say it was a big mistake. So sorry, I drove almost fours hours, for a hot make out session, by the way it sucked. adios amigo. Way to go Dave, maybe you can grow up and write self help books about how to like yourself. He's here with you, not the other dude. God, Does that mean I'm the other man? I've kept enough secrets in my life, I don't want to become one. I wont share either, it's all or nothing. What's he thinking?... I'm not sure I can survive it, if he thinks this was a mistake. That would be beyond cruel, let me see a glimpse of Heaven and pull a damn lever dropping me into Hell. Dave lifts his head up a little to breathe in the sent of Kurt and nuzzle his hair. Fear settles deep in his gut. It's the kind of fear that's learned. The kind life beats into you with one disappointment after the next, to the point where anytime something good comes your way, you expect it to be taken back almost instantly. Closing his eyes he says a silent prayer, to who ever is listening. Please let this be real.

Kurt stirs, lifting his head to look at Dave. There has been no conversation between them since he arrived, just sweet nothings. Now staring into Dave's golden eyes, he knows he's making the right choice. Knowing the doubts will assault him again on the way home, but for now in this moment, a calmness sweeps over him. Kissing Dave slow and tender, then he sits up. Scooting to the foot of the couch.

Kurt smiling shyly, " I guess I should say hello, since I skipped it before."

Dave, " Hi." then he laughs

Kurt growing serious, " I'm breaking it off with Blaine." And ruining my friendship.

Dave, " Does that mean, what I hope it means?" My chest feels like it's gonna burst.

Deciding to not think of Blaine and savor the rest of the night, he crawls back to Dave , "Yes." Kissing the bigger boy, feeling their hearts beat together. Kissing him back, Dave wraps his arms around Kurt. " When do you have to get back?"

Kurt, " I need to be home by tomorrow afternoon."

Dave, " Good." Tonight, I'm gonna to hold Heaven in my arms, and pray it wont be the last time.

Blaine

Waking up, Blaine checks his phone. Kurt still has not called. I think I can let my hopes of him chasing me down, and professing his undying love for me die themselves. It's over, you lost. Changing Kurt's ring tone to Adele's ( Someone Like You). Yeah, a little melodramatic, but I deserve it .My first true heartbreak. Jeremiah doesn't count, because we never started. I still can't believe I ran into him. Taking a deep breath, he climbs out of bed. Looking one more time at his phone, Yeah we could have had it all.

Kurt

Kurt wakes to the sounds of bacon frying, along with the smell of maple syrup, butter, and coffee. Stretching, he lays back and cuddles Dave's pillow. Finally he gets up, dressed only in his boxer briefs and one of Dave's T shirts. Walking into the kitchen, he feels shy, even though they slept in the same bed, kissed and held each other, in the morning light his forwardness causes him to blush. Turning, Dave eyes Kurt's flushed appearance, he has never seen anything more beautiful.

Blaine

The house is unnaturally quiet . Blaine sinks further into dread as he rounds the corner of the breakfast nook. Both of his parents are there. It's clear that they have been waiting for him. Oh god they have their false grins on, I really think I don't want to be here.

His mom smiling so hard it looks like her face is cracking, " Blaine honey come sit by me, I made your favorite."

Blaine, " Sure,... I really cant take the suspense, what's up?"

Dad, " Well we got some good and bad news, which would you like first?"

Blaine, " I'm a big boy, so I'll take the bad."

Mom, " Were going to be moving sweetie."

Blaine, his stomach doing flip flops, " Why?"

Dad, " Well some of our investments didn't work out as planned and we have to downsize."

Blaine, just nods.

Mom, " Well now for the good news, you'll be going to McKinley with Kurt."

A/N: For those wondering if Dave will ever come home for good, The next chapter is titled The Prodigal Son.
