My Dearest Lovely Reviewers and other people who follow this story,

First of all I'm so freaking sorry! I haven't posting in ages, I know that!

I'm in my school's musical (Seussical for those who care) and we've been practicing nonstop. This is the week we get to perform the show, and I've been getting home at 11:00 every night with a crapload of homework I still need to do. However, when the show is over, this afternoon, I'll be able to resume posting new chapters like I usually do. Again, I'm so sorry! I hope you still choose to read my stories after this whole fiasco.

"Where are we goin'?" Kurt asked happily as Zach led him up a flight of stairs.

"Oh, nowhere special honey. Just to my room." Zach replied sweetly.

"Okay!" Kurt agreed, following the other boy to his room.

They arrived at room 405 and Zach opened the door and walked inside, Kurt following. Zach immediately grabbed a cake off the table and offered Kurt a piece. Kurt looked like Christmas had come early and Zach began marveling at how simple this was.

Zach picked up the little boy and put him into a chair at the coffee table. Kurt began to eat his cake, and Zach smiled at him.

"Are we friends now Kurt?" he asked and Kurt nodded, stuffing more cake into his mouth. "You like me more than Blaine, right?" Zach continued.

Kurt swallowed some cake and replied "Bwaine?" He looked around and asked in surprise, "Whew is Bwaine?"

Zach frowned. This might end up being a bit more difficult than he'd though.

Blaine sighed in relief as the final bell rang. He pulled out his phone and called Puck.

"Hello? Who's this?" Puck's voice asked angrily through the phone.

"It's Blaine. School's done, could you bring Kurt back now?"

"Oh… um… I brought him back like an hour ago. I thought you'd find him." Puck replied bluntly.

"What?" Blaine said loudly into the phone, "Where is he?"

"I dunno dude, you tell me." Puck replied.

Blaine hung up his phone angrily. Just goes to show you, he thought, you can't trust anyone.

Just then Blaine heard a very familiar voice… well, not a voice really but he most definitely recognized that cry. Blaine dashed up a flight of stairs to see a disheveled looking Zach trying to convince Kurt to go back into his room.

"Kurt, it's okay, just be quiet and I'll give you more cake!" Zach told the crying boy, but Kurt only wailed louder.

"Hey!" Blaine shouted, running up to Kurt and Zach, "Zach what the hell are you doing?"

"What? There was a toddler wandering around the hallway so I decided to help!" Zach protested.

"Yeah, sure, what did you do to him?"

"Nothing!"

"Then why is he crying?"

"I have no idea!"

The two boys glared at each other for a moment, then Blaine knelt down and asked Kurt gently "Are you okay, Kurt?" But much to his surprise Kurt cried even louder when he saw Blaine.

"Kurt? It's me Blaine. What's wrong buddy?" Blaine tried again.

"He…he said t-that y-you don't l-like me anymore" Kurt wailed pointing at Zach.

Blaine sat his jaw, shooting a death glare at Zach. "Kurtsie, you know that's not true. Of course I like you, silly." Blaine said, and Kurt stopped howling and sniffled and looked up at Blaine.

"Really?" Kurt asked.

"Really." Blaine replied grinning. Kurt smiled and tackled Blaine in a hug. Zach made a strangled noise and Blaine turned around angrily, remembering the other boy.

"I think you should leave now. Just leave Kurt alone, he deserves way better than you."

"You're just jealous because when he gets back to normal I'm going to ask him out, and he's going to say yes and forget all about you." Zach growled before slamming the door of his room behind him.

Blaine carried Kurt back to his dorm room and tucked him into his bed, taking his comfy chair for himself. He tried not to let what Zach had said get to him, he really did, but somehow he just couldn't shake what he had said. He and Kurt were just good friends… Sure Blaine got butterflies in his stomach whenever they saw each other… And he felt like Kurt's laugh was the most adorable sound in the world and he loved just staring into Kurt's eyes... But friends think that their friends are beautiful and amazing, right?

Finally, Blaine managed to fall asleep.

He was awakened the very sudden;y by the sounds of Kurt frantically searching for something. Blaine cracked open his eyes just a bit and watched Kurt tearing throught the blankets looking for something. Blaine sighed, decided going back to sleep was useless, and began to get up. Then he realized that it was only 12:45 and slouched back into his chair.

Kurt noticed the motion and dashed over to Blaine, yelling loudly "Bwaine! Where's beawy?"

"Wha-?" Blaine asked sleepily as Kurt led him over to the bed.

"I can't find beawy. My teddy beaw." Kurt cried in dismay.

Blaine shrugged, still drowsy, and decided to avoid a possible problem "It's okay Kurt," he yawned, "just go back to sleep."

"I can't sweep wifout beawy!" Kurt exclaimed loudly, causing Blaine to shush him.

"Okay, okay. Where did you last see him."

"He was wif my over aminals at my house."

Blaine froze. Kurt's house meant Kurt sleeping family, and Blaine did not want to deal with an angry, middle-of-the-night Burt. Especially if he was trespassing in their house. Blaine decided to try again. "Kurt, it's okay. Just go back to sleep."

"NO!"

This went on for a while until finally Blaine gave in.

Hiding in the bushes in front of the Hummel's house, Blaine yet again told himself he was going to be killed. But he kept going anyway.

He climbed one of the trees in Kurt's front yard and managed to get himself close enough to open a window. He carefully swung into the house and landed softly on the floor, internally praising his ninja skills and his mother for forcing him to do karate when he was 7. Then Blaine realized that he wasn't quite alone. Finn was snoring on the other side of the room.

Blaine froze and silently slipped past Finn. Now he needed to find Kurt's room… Blaine opened a few doors, looking for somewhere that said "KURT!" but he didn't see anything that stuck out. He did open the door to Burt and Carole's room, but he closed it again immediately. Blaine quietly descended the stairs and began searching again. He found a door leading to the basement and immediately recognized it as Kurt's room. It was just so… Kurt. Blaine began searching around for the teddy bear in the drawers (he may or may not have searched through Kurt's underwear) and the closet. Finally he saw it. It was on the very top shelf of Kurt's closet, but it was too high for Blaine to reach.

Blaine glared at the bear, then grabbed a chair and pushed it over to the closet. Blaine hopped up on the chair, grabbed the bear and pulled it off the shelf. Success! Blaine thought happily. Just then he heard footsteps upstairs… Blaine checked the time: 2:30.

Blaine listened and he heard the whirring of a refrigerator. Someone was having a late night snack. Blaine took a deep breath and hopped down off the chair, which immediately tipped over with a loud crash. Blaine froze, breathing hard. He carefully put the chair back where it belonged and prayed that whoever was eating hadn't heard the crash through the basement door. He wasn't that lucky.

"I-I know you're down here!" came the voice of a very scared Finn.

Blaine quickly dropped to the floor and crawled under Kurt's bed, trying not to make a sound.

Finn walked into the basement, very anxious and nervous. There was either a burglar, murderer, or rapist in his basement and his parents were both asleep. Finn clutched his baseball bat tightly. "HEY! You better get out of here right now! I'm armed!" He told the seemingly empty room.

Finn flicked on the lights and began searching for the person by poking his baseball bat into and possible hiding places. Blaine swore in his head and he decided he had no choice. "Finn!" he whispered.

Finn stopped searching and began to hyperventilate. He had begun to hope that he had imagined the crash. "Who's there?" He said, trying to keep his voice steady.

"Finn, this is Blaine. Put the bat down. Please." Blaine whispered desperately.

"How do you know who Blaine is? Did you do something to Kurt?" Finn whirled around, searching for the source of the voice.

"No, Finn, I swear, this is Blaine. Just put the bat down." Blaine whispered again.

"Why, so you can kill me? No way. If you really are Blaine prove it."

"How?" Blaine asked.

"I… um… what's Kurt's favorite color?" Finn asked, still anxious.

"It changes with the season and his outfit." Blaine replied.

"When we all went to a party, who did you kiss?"

"Rachel. Please Finn, just put the bat down." Blaine begged, still clutching Kurt's bear.

"No... but if you really are Blaine just come out and I promise not to smash your head."

Blaine took a deep breath and crawled out from under the bed. Finn jumped at the movement and turned toward Blaine quickly.

"See? It's me Blaine."

"Blaine?" Finn asked, relaxing a bit, "Why the hell are you in my house in the middle of the night."

Blaine held up the bear, still breathing hard, and replied "Kurt wouldn't go to sleep without his bear, so I came to get it."

Finn shook his head in disbelief, and replied "You must really like Kurt to go through all this trouble just to get him to sleep when he's not even going to remember any of this."

"I… I think that I'm in love with him." Blaine didn't realize what he'd said until it was too late. "I mean… like… as a friend. Like, he's a great friend and I love that we're friends." Blaine quickly tried to backtrack but Finn had a goofy grin on his face.

"Don't worry, dude, I won't tell him… But just so you know, I'm pretty sure he feels the same way. Now you'd better get out of here before Burt wakes up, he won't be as forgiving as me."

Blaine nodded and hurried up the stairs and out the front door, Finn making loud noises to cover him.

Blaine dashed to his car and jumped into the driver's seat. He held the little bear up and said to it "You had better be worth it." Before driving back to Dalton.

Blaine made his way back to his room and opened the door, hoping Kurt hadn't broken anything. To his surprise Kurt was back in bed, fast asleep. Blaine sighed, and placed the teddy bear next to him. Kurt unconsciously reached out and pulled the bear close to him, snuggling deeper into the blankets and smiling in his sleep.

Blaine decided that right there is was worth it. Seeing Kurt look so genuinely happy and at ease made him happy. Blaine sunk into his chair and fell asleep instantly.
