First and foremost I want to apologize, I wanted to update earlier but once again college got in the way. As always, thank you to all who reviewed and continue to read my story.

For the first time in a long time, Kurt didn't know what to say. He could just watch the different emotions make their way onto Blaine's face. Confusion, anger, and the worst, hurt. Kurt couldn't look Blaine in the eye.

"Kurt, what the hell is going on? Why were we just chased by paparazzi? Why did they say you were a prince?"

"It's true," Kurt managed to say, "What they were saying was true. I really am the Prince of Denmark."

Blaine just stared at Kurt.

"Blaine, please say something."

"If this is some joke I don't find it funny."

"I'm not joking. Look, this is not how I wanted you to find out. I was about to tell you. I'm the same person I have always been Blaine. My feelings for you are real."

"You've been lying to me. You have been lying to everyone."

Kurt looked away.

"I'm sorry. I wanted to tell you."

"Then why didn't you? Don't you trust us? Don't you trust me?"

"Of course I do."

"I can't wrap my head around this."

Kurt grabbed Blaine's hand.

"I know there is a lot to comprehend. Let's sit down and talk everything through. I'll explain everything."

Blaine quickly tore his hand out of Kurt's.

"I'm so confused. So our entire relationship is a lie."

"No-"

"Is this a joke to you?"

"Of course not-"

"Was this your plan? To use me? Make someone fall for you and then break their heart? Were all your friends back home laughing at me? 'Oh, look at that pathetic American.' "

Blaine started to tear up.

"Please Blaine don't talk like that. What I told you was true. I am falling in love-"

"Don't. Do not continue to lie to me. You are not the person I thought you were. You came here a liar and that is still what you are," Blaine spat.

Tears started to run down Blaine's cheeks. It felt like his heart was breaking.

"Blaine, I wanted to tell you. I tried to tell you multiple times. Something just kept getting in the way."

"Whatever," Blaine said before turning away from Kurt and walking away.

"Blaine, wait, where are you going."

"Away from you."

"Please stay and talk to me."

"I'm sorry you're majesty, but you are not in Denmark, you can not tell me what to do."

Kurt watched as Blaine stormed off. He couldn't stop the tears this time. All Kurt wanted to do was crawl under a rock. By tomorrow morning the truth would be out and everyone will know how much of a liar he is. This is what Kurt was afraid of. He was going to lose everything. Kurt slowly made his way to his room.


After taking some time to think Blaine was still just as confused as before. All he wanted to do was curl up in his blankets and go to sleep. He opened his door and was graced with the image of a shirtless Nick on top of a nearly naked Jeff, his only article of clothing being his boxers. The two boys jumped when they heard the door slam.

"Blaine, we thought you and Kurt would umm, would still be out," Jeff said as he sat up causing Nick to roll off of him.

"So did I," Blaine said.

"What wrong," Nick asked.

"I don't want to talk about it."

"It's bad to keep things bottled up," Jeff said.

"Well, I don't really want to have this conversation while you two are half naked."

Nick and Jeff blushed as they scrambled to find their clothes and straighten out the sheets. Once they looked presentable they sat on Jeff's bed and stared at Blaine.

"Well, what happened? Why do you look upset? Does it have to do with Kurt" Jeff asked.

"Yeah," Blaine choked out before breaking down into sobs. Nick and Jeff instantly hugged their friend and helped him sit on his bed.

"Did you two break up," Nick asked.

"Yes, no, I don't know."

"Just tell us everything," Jeff said.

Blaine retold the events that happened, starting with the date and finishing with his heated conversation with Kurt in the lobby. After he was done Nick and Jeff just looked at each other. They didn't know how to deal with a situation like this.

"Is there anything we can do to help," Jeff asked.

"I just really want to be alone for now."

Jeff nodded.

"I'll walk Nick back to his room."

Jeff and Nick quickly and quietly left the room. They walked in silence until they reached Nick and Wes' room. They were relieved to find it empty and collapsed in Nick's bed.

"How do we fix this," Jeff asked.

"I don't think we can."

"Should we find Kurt?"

"I don't think Kurt wants to talk to us at the moment."

"Are you mad at him?"

"I dunno, kind of. Are you?"

"I'm not sure. I don't want to be."

"Jeff, I know that you want to be friends with everyone but Kurt lied to us. He is the reason our best friend is probably crying himself to sleep."

"He was under a lot of pressure-"

"Jeff, you always look for a good in people, that is one of the things I love about you, but this, this is big."

"Kurt is my friend."

"He is my friend too."

"No, if he was you wouldn't be judging him before getting his side of the story."

"I am not judging."

"Yes you are."

Nick grabbed Jeff's hand, placing a kiss on it.

"I don't want you to be mad at me."

"I'm not mad, I'm frustrated."

"I get it. You want to keep Kurt as a friend but you don't want to upset Blaine."

Jeff sighed.

"Look, I get that Kurt made a mistake, but I can't just shut him out."

Nick gave his boyfriend a kiss.

"Don't worry Jeff, everything will sort itself out."

"What will sort itself out," a voice said interrupting the boys' conversation.

"Wes," Nick and Jeff said in unison.

"I though you two were 'studying' in Jeff's room."

"We were but, umm, well," Jeff tried to come up with an excuse.

"What happened?"

"Nothing," Jeff said.

"We should tell him," Nick whispered.

"Tell me what," Wes said.

Jeff looked at Nick, not knowing what to do.


David was going through television channels when he heard his door open. He looked up and was surprised to see Kurt. He was more surprised to see Kurt shaken and crying.

"Kurt? Are you okay?"

Kurt shook his head. Kurt looked over and saw the remains of the rose petals on his bed. That just brought back memories of a few hours before, when things made sense.

"Are you hurt? Were you and Blaine attacked or something? If it happened on Dalton grounds you can go to the dean."

Kurt just shook his head again. He violently shoved all the remaining rose petals off his bed and started to cry. David rushed over and helped Kurt sit on the bed.

"Kurt, Kurt, what's wrong? Do you need help?"

David heard his phone start to ring.

"Okay, Kurt, try to calm down and we can talk."

David quickly picked his phone off of his own bed. He saw he had a couple missed calls and a text from Wes.

'Call me back. I need to tell you something.'

Davis looked back over to Kurt and saw he was trying to calm down.

'Busy at the moment. Will call you later.' David texted back.

David put his phone on silent and walked back over to Kurt.

"Do you want to talk about what happened? Where's Blaine? I thought you two had a date."

"We did," Kurt said quietly.

"Where's Blaine?"

"I would guess in his room."

"Did something happen to you two?"

"David, I need to tell you something. I really need you to just listen to me. When I finish you can ask questions or yell at me or do whatever you what. I understand that you will probably hate me like Blaine does but I want you to hear this from me and not someone else."

David was confused.

"I don't understand. Kurt you are not making any sense."

"Please David, please just listen."

"Okay."

"The long story starts shortly after my dad got engaged but the short version begins a few months ago."

Kurt told David everything. He explained who he was, whom his family was, where he was from and about the months leading up to his transfer to Dalton. Kurt watched as many emotions cross his roommates face. He finally explained that the paparazzi cornered him and Blaine when they were coming back from their date. Kurt finished talking and looked over at David.

"Wow, well that is one wild story," David said.

"It's the truth," Kurt said, "I suppose there will be articles about me in the local papers by tomorrow morning."

David didn't know what to say.

"Do you hate me too?"

"Kurt, I promise Blaine does not hate you. This is a sensitive situation now."

"Do you hate me?"

"No."

"Thank you."

"Some people are not going to be happy with you. Despite you having to protect your identity for important reason, some friends, especially Warblers, are going to be hurt."

"Jeff."

"I'm not so sure about that. Jeff will stand up for his friends and you are definitely one of those. In my opinion, the only person who deserved to know was Blaine."

"I know," Kurt said tears forming again.

"Hey, I didn't mean to make you cry. I am really bad at this. Just know that I got your back."

Kurt smiled for the first time since he got back.

"Thanks David."

David pulled Kurt into a hug. Knowing that he had one person on his side made Kurt feel like he could face everyone the next day at school. Well, everyone except Blaine.


The next school day came to early for Kurt. He groaned as his and David's alarms went off. Kurt got up and dressed in his uniform.

"Ready for some breakfast," David asked as he straighten his tie.

"Not really."

"You can hide out here all day if you want. I'll cover for you."

"No, I have to face them."

"Well just so you know, I guess one of the local papers is running a story on you and there are online articles too."

"I figured this would happen."

David felt bad for Kurt. In David's eyes Kurt didn't do anything wrong. As David and Kurt walked to the elevators they saw a group of boys waiting. In that group was Blaine. Kurt decided he would take the stairs, and David followed.

"You don't have to follow me."

"Kurt, I told you, I'm sticking with you."

Kurt and David eventually made it to the cafeteria. The second they stepped inside all conversations stopped.

'Word travels fast,' Kurt thought.

As everyone turned to stare at Kurt the two boys made their way to the food. After they got their looked for a seat. Kurt tried to ignore all the stares. This was one time when he wished he was not the center of attention. David found their friends and started walking when he noticed Kurt was not following him.

"Kurt? You coming?"

Kurt shook his head no. David had never seen his roommate this vulnerable.

"It's okay. Just block everyone out."

Kurt slowly stared down the aisle walking by the tables. He would hear whispers as he walked by. He caught up with David and the two walked together to where Wes, Jeff, Nick and Blaine were.

"Hey guys," David said as he took a seat.

Kurt quietly sat next to him, looking down.

"David, can I talk to you," Wes said.

"I'm eating."

"Well this is kind of important. I tried to call you last night but you said you were busy and never got back to me."

"Well Wes, if you want to talk to me about Kurt behind his back, you are out of luck, Kurt already told last night what happened."

Wes faltered before recovering his smile.

"No, this is not about Kurt. I just wanted to tell you, and everyone, that there is going to be an emergency Warbler meeting tonight."

"You can't decide that on you own Wes. We have a council not a dictatorship," David said.

"Well I am the head council member and various boys have come to me saying they wanted to have meeting tonight."

"David, it's fine," Kurt quietly said, "This meeting is probably a good thing."

Breakfast was an awkward affair. Blaine was fascinated with his food, Wes glared at David and Kurt, Nick talked to Jeff and Jeff didn't know how to act. As people finished eating they threw out their trash and headed to get their materials and go to class. Unfortunately for Kurt, his day did not get any better. His first class was the worst.

"So, are the rumors true," Flint asked as Kurt took his seat, "Are you really a prince?"

Kurt stayed silent and Flint took that as a yes.

"Wow, I guess I was chasing after the wrong guy. I should have let Nick have Jeff and battled it out with Blaine for the honor of getting into the pants of real life royalty."

Kurt heard the other boys start to laugh. Flint put his arm on Kurt's should but Kurt moved out of his reach.

"Don't touch me," Kurt said.

Flint just smirked and took his seat in the back. Jeff came into class a few seconds later and took his seat next to Kurt. The teacher came in and started the lesson. About ten minutes into class a boy raised his hand.

"Yes, you have a comment," the teacher said.

The boy smiled.

"I was just curious how his majesty felt about being in a class of lowly peasants like us."

The room filled with laughter, except Kurt, the teacher and Jeff. The teacher was just about to scold the student when Jeff spoke up.

"Mr. Timmons, I would just like to remind everyone here that Dalton still has a very strict no-harassment policy. If any student purposely says something or acts in a way to make another student feel hurt or threatened they are subject to disciplinary consequences ranging from detentions, suspensions and up to expulsion."

"Thank you Mr. Sterling, I was just about to say that myself. Everyone is to feel safe in this school. So, to the boy who just made that comment, you can set an example for everyone else and go to the Dean's office," Mr. Timmons said as he filled out the discipline order papers for the boy to take with him. After he left the teacher spoke again.

"Does anyone else have something off topic to say? No? Good, moving on with the lesson."

Kurt looked over to Jeff and mouthed a thank you. Jeff smiled in return. News of the boy being sent out of class spread fast and the rest of Kurt's day went more smoothly. No more comments were made. Lunch also went more smoothly then breakfast. Kurt was starting to feel better but then he realized he only had one class left, chemistry—with Blaine. Kurt entered the classroom and saw Blaine was already there. He looked tired and out of it. It appears neither boy slept much the previous night. Kurt too his seat by Blaine and was relieved when Blaine didn't get up and move away. Blaine didn't speak to Kurt all period. After the class he hurried out. Kurt made his way back to his room to drop off his stuff before the Warbler meeting. He felt his phone vibrate and saw his dad was calling.

"Daddy?"

"Kurt, Thank god you picked up. Look son, I have no idea how the paparazzi found you. I swear the palace officials are fully investigating it."

"It's okay dad. I'm coming home in a few weeks anyways. I was going to have to tell everyone the truth."

"But this isn't the way it should have happened."

"Dad, please calm down. Stress isn't good for you."

"I'm not worried about me right now. I am worried about you. Do you need to come home earlier? Is anyone bothering you?"

"Nothing I can't handle. I have to stay these extra weeks dad. I have to try to fix this."

"So, these pictures that are being published have you with a boy. Is that Blaine?"

"Yeah, it is."

"Well, he seems nice."

"He is but I really hurt him dad. Dad, I ruined everything."

Kurt broke down and it broke his father's heart.

"Kurt, I promise I will make everything okay. Finn has been working nonstop to help the situation."

Kurt smiled.

"Tell him I appreciate everything he has done. I just wish I had listened to everyone and told Blaine sooner."

"Hey, don't beat yourself up Kurt. You were going to tell him. You are not the only one at fault."

"Mr. Anderson."

"Exactly. So listen, I want you to do what you have to fix whatever you want to. You are a good person and any real friends you made will see that."

"Thanks Dad. I love you."

"I love you too son. I will call you in a few hours."

"Okay. Goodbye."

"Bye Kurt."

Kurt hung up and saw David standing in the doorway.

"So that was your dad."

"Yeah."

"A king."

"Yeah," Kurt said with a laugh, "But he is just like a regular guy. Is it time?"

"Yes, Warbler meeting in ten minutes. You ready?"

"As ready as I will ever be."


Kurt entered the rehearsal room and all eyes were on him. He took a seat as David sat with the council. More and more boys entered the room and took a seat. When everyone arrived Wes spoke.

"I now call this meeting to order," Wes said.

Kurt immediately raised his hand.

Wes ignored it but David called on him.

"Warbler Kurt, you have the floor."

Kurt stood up.

"Hello, everyone. I know why everyone is here. You want to know if the rumors are true. The answer is yes. I am a prince and I am from Denmark. I was sent here because, well it is actually a long story, but the short version here is that my family was tired of putting up with a spoiled brat. So they sent me here to force me to be more responsible. Now, I know many of you feel lied to. I would too if the positions were reversed but I never intended to hurt anyone."

"But you did," a voice from the crowd said.

"I know," Kurt said defeated, "And I am sure anything I say will not sway some of your opinions about me. All I have to say is that I am truly sorry for the way this has played out. I had wanted to come clean but I was scared. I was scared about what people would think about me and how they would treat me. I have made some life long friendships in these last few months. I can only hope I have not lost them. I also want to say that that I will be returning to Denmark after finals and will not returning to Dalton."

There was a collective gasp. Kurt sighed. He had said all he had to say. He sincerely apologized and now could only wait to see what happened next.

"Well, does anyone else have anything to say," Wes said.

"I do," Flint said standing up.

'Here we go,' Kurt thought.

"You being here was a complete waste of our time. We are a group built on trust and loyalty. You don't care about anybody but yourself. You are the most selfish person I have ever met."

Kurt felt tears forming.

"You think we should all just bow down to you-"

"No I don't."

"And act like you are some saint."

"NO!"

"You messed with out group and our lives knowing that you wouldn't be here to have deal with the consequences."

"That's not true. I just found out that I was going home early at the end of thanksgiving break. And what do you mean I messed with people's lives? If you are talking about yourself I am happy that I stepped in the way of you're sick obsession with Jeff, who is in a loving relationship with the man he loves."

Flint got pissed.

"Well, I wasn't talking about me. I was talking about Blaine, the guy whose heart you broke."

Kurt instantly shut up and looked at Blaine. Blaine was looking at Kurt with big eyes. Kurt couldn't read his face.

"Once again, I am deeply sorry to anyone who feels like I hurt them and am not a true friend. I can't change my past actions. I can only hope they can forgive me in the future."

Flint rolled his eyes.

"Well all of the Warblers here fell like you are a traitor so-"

"That's not true," Jeff interrupted.

Jeff stood up and stood next to Kurt.

"I don't think Kurt is a bad person. It was a shock when I heard the truth about Kurt but I think a lot of people are being extremely overdramatic. Kurt has a life and a right to privacy. He didn't need to tell us anything. I honestly feel like I know the real Kurt, and some royal title has nothing to do that. What did you want him to do? Wear a sign that says 'Look at me, I'm a prince?' So many of you turned on Kurt the second you feel like he lied to you. But has he really? We all saw a change in Kurt as he got to know us and we became friends with him. That change was real. I believe Kurt is a better person because of us and he made the Warblers a better group. He helped us get out of our box. Without his ideas we would not have won sectionals. Did any of you take a few seconds to think of why he would keep something like that from us? Maybe he wanted to be able to enjoy this experience without worry about if someone was his friend for him or because of who he was. Maybe he wanted to fall in love with someone who would truly love him and not his crown, title or money. I will stand with Kurt through everything because I respect him as a person and above all, a friend."

Kurt was crying but tears of happiness. Jeff pulled Kurt into a hug. When they separated they saw Flint was red in the face. Jeff just shook his head.

"So, who else is with me," Jeff asked the crowd.

Jeff felt someone tackle himself and Kurt form behind. Jeff smiled when he saw it was Nick.

"I'm sorry I wasn't there for you earlier today," Nick apologized.

"It's no problem, no problem at all," Kurt said hugging his friend.

David immediately joined the group and many other Warblers followed. Even though some stayed with Flint and were against Kurt, Kurt realized his dad was right and he was finding out who his real friends were. The only two that hadn't said anything were Wes and Blaine.

"Well guys, which side are you on," David asked.

Blaine was the first of the two to stand. He walked up to Kurt.

"We need to talk."

Kurt nodded.

"But I could never think of you as a waste of time. Royal or not, you are the guy I fell for. I'm sorry for the way I acted when I first found out. I should have been there for you as you went through this tough time instead of being against you."

Kurt smiled from ear to ear.

"You felt lied to and hurt. You are right we need to talk about everything later but just knowing you don't hate me makes everything better."

"I could never hate you," Blaine said as he grabbed Kurt hand.

"Okay love birds wrap it up," Nick joked and everyone laughed.

And that left Wes. Flint sent him a desperate look to say he was right. Wes cleared his throat.

"It has definitely been an emotional meeting so I think we should all calm down."

Kurt's smiled dropped.

"Lets go relax in the dorm lobby and maybe Kurt can tell us all about Denmark. I am quite interested to learn from you." Wes finished with a smile.


For the next few hours Kurt found himself in the lobby surrounded by his friends. He told them all about Denmark. The students listened, asked questions and apologized over and over again for being cold towards him. After a while, Kurt was running out of stories and everyone was getting hungry so the boys decided to go get something to eat. As the boys headed out, Blaine asked Kurt if he could talk to him for a few minutes. Kurt smiled and stayed back with Blaine. Once they were alone, Kurt and Blaine sat down on one of the lobby's couches.

"How have you been holding up," Blaine asked Kurt.

"Well, the last twelve hours sucked but things are looking up."

Blaine smiled and Kurt put his hand on top Blaine's and he was happy when he didn't pull away.

"I'm sorry," both boys said at the same time.

"Kurt, you didn't do anything wrong."

"Yes, yes I did. I lied to you. I lied to everyone."

"No, you were protecting yourself. I am sorry for not letting you explain before getting so pissed."

Kurt shook his head.

"You were hurt. Neither one of us can deny that."

"Can I ask you one question. I know you have already answered it in a way, but I really need to ask it."

"Of course Blaine."

"How come you didn't tell me about you and about leaving Dalton after the first half of the year? Is it because I did something to make you feel like you can not trust me?"

Kurt threw his arms around Blaine.

"No, no, no, no, no. I did-I do- trust you. I guess I could give you so many excuses but the truth is that I was scared."

"Of me?"

"Of your reaction. I didn't want to mess up what we had. I guess I was living in dreamland where things just magically worked out. I was stupid and falling in love with this amazing guy that I know I didn't deserve and the thought of losing you was so painful and that is exactly what happened. I hurt the one person I wanted to protect."

Kurt sat up as he felt tears stream down his cheeks. Blaine gently brushed them away.

"I was hurt and kind of still are but you are not stupid and if anyone doesn't deserve someone it is me who doesn't deserve you. I hurt you too, with the words I said."

"Can we just forgive each other already?"

"Of course," Blaine said.

Blaine just held Kurt and the two boys sat in silence for a few moments. When Kurt had the courage to speak he finally had to face reality.

"We can't be together."

Blaine held on to him tighter as Kurt continued to talk.

"Our lives are just heading in different directions. Soon we will not even live on the same continent anymore."

"I know," Blaine said.

"This is so hard," Kurt said.

"Hey, I will happily be just friends with you if that means I get to stay in your life. Even if once you become king you don't have time for me anymore."

"I will always make time for you. I just think we should break our romance off now and stay friends. As hard as it will be, I think it will be for the best."

"When do you leave," Blaine asked.

"Well, my finals start Monday and end on Wednesday so that night."

"That's sooner the I thought. Everyone else doesn't start their exams until that Thursday."

"I need to get home as soon as I can," Kurt said, "I could opt out of the exams but I want to finish what I started.

"I understand," Blaine said.

Kurt and Blaine both had tears in their eyes.

"Have you started packing?"

"A little, just put a few things away."

Blaine nodded.

"I want you to know that no matter what happens, I truly care about you and-"

"Kiss me," Kurt said suddenly.

"We just broke up and you want me to kiss you."

Kurt laughed.

"One last kiss."

Blaine smiled and the two boys shared a goodbye kiss. It was not overly passionate but not too chaste. It was perfect to both boys and both put all their emotions into it. Their lips were right for each other. Neither one wanted the kiss to end but eventually they had to pull apart. Kurt reopened his eyes and saw Blaine crying again.

"Blaine-"

'I'm sorry, I have to go," Blaine said and quickly exited.

Kurt fell to the floor and breakdown. If his heart was torn before, it was completely shattered now.


That was the last time Kurt and Blaine talked. It was to painful for the boys to be around each other knowing they were going to have to say goodbye. Kurt pretty much avoided everyone except David. Kurt stayed in his room and studied for his test and talked to his family. The plans were finalized for Kurt's departure. Kurt took his tests and was finishing packing when he heard David enter the room.

"The room is so empty."

"I know," Kurt agreed, "I thought this room was a prison cell when I first got here and now I am devastated to leave."

"I saw the Dean. He wanted to talk to you on your way out."

"I know."

Kurt turned to check that he had everything from off his desk and didn't see David slip something into Kurt's bag. Kurt did a last full room scan, zipped up his many suitcases and turned to face his roommate.

"David, are you crying?"

"N-no," David said as he wiped his eyes, "I'm glad to have a single room again without having to share with a silly prince."

Kurt and David laughed and hugged.

"I have learned so much from you David."

"You were the best roommate I ever had. Don't tell Wes. He'll get jealous."

The roommates shared another laugh.

"Thank you for everything," Kurt said.

David smiled.

"Okay, no more tears. You get to go home. I'll help you get your things downstairs."

Kurt accepted the help. At the front of the school Kurt saw Dean Adams standing there.

"Hello Kurt."

"Hello."

"I just wanted to see you before you left. I just wanted to say that it was an honor to have you with us."

"You have an amazing school. I have learned so much academically and about myself. I want to sincerely apologize for my attitude the first time I was in your office."

"Kurt, you have nothing to be sorry for. I want to wish you luck in the rest of your life adventures."

"Thank you."

Kurt shook hands with the dean and him and David made the way out to the parking lot. Kurt looked up and gasped as he saw all of his friends in front of his car. Well, almost everyone. He was instantly pulled into a group hug.

"You didn't think you could get out of here without saying goodbye did you," Nick said.

"Never," Kurt replied.

On by one, the boys came up and said goodbye. Wes, Nick and Jeff were the last ones.

"Kurt, I know I said something's that were out of line. I want to apologize again and say that I think you are a wonderful young man and-"

"Oh my god, Wes stop talking like my dad and come give me a hug," Kurt said.

"Interrupting is rude," Wes said with a playful look as Kurt rolled his eyes. After they hugged Kurt said, "Keep those Warblers in shape. You better win regionals but if you don't we know its because you don't have me."

Wes laughed and stepped aside as Nick came up.

"Well, I'm not good at these speech things so I guess all I have to say is goodbye and that I will never, ever forget what an amazing friend and person you are. You have to promise you will try to visit sometime."

"Of course," Kurt answered and Nick pulled him in close.

Kurt hadn't let go of his friend for a second and he was arms full with a crying Jeff.

"Hey, don't cry, you are going to make me cry," Kurt said.

"But I don't want you to go. I know you have to but you will be so far away. I am going to miss you so much. I don't want to say goodbye."

"Hey, it will be okay. There are ways for us to keep in touch."

"People always say that."

"Well I mean it."

"Well, I want to know when you get to Denmark. I will worry something bad happened."

"I will, don't worry."

Jeff let go and wiped the tears away. Kurt started to tear up.

"You're not going to forget us are you?"

"Never. Never ever. See, everything will be okay. All better?"

Jeff dried his eyes and tried to smile before saying,

"No."

And Jeff pulled Kurt into another hug, followed by everyone else. All were crying and didn't care.

"I'm going to miss you Kurtie."

"I'm going to miss you two Jeff, all of you."

After a while the boys broke apart. Kurt's luggage was put in the trunk and one last goodbye was said. However, it was followed by an awkward silence.

"Blaine is, umm, well, he umm-" Jeff stumbled over his words.

"It's okay. He and I talked everything out. I understand. If he was here I probably wouldn't leave."

"Then lets go get him," Jeff mumbled and everyone laughed.

With one last silent goodbye and hug from Jeff, Kurt opened that car and got in. He waved to the boys and the boys waved goodbye as the car pulled away. Kurt waited until the entire Dalton campus was out of sight before whispering:

"Goodbye Blaine."


Blaine watched out of the dorm window as Kurt said goodbye to all the boys. As he watched the car pulled away he said, "Goodbye Kurt," before going back into his room and breaking down.


Sean sat quietly next to Kurt. He looked over at the boy every few seconds.

"Do you need a shoulder to cry on? I have one for you."

Kurt smiled.

"No. I'm fine," Kurt said but his voice showed he could breakdown at any time.

The drive went on until the car suddenly stopped.

"We can't be to the plane already," Sean said.

"Sir, there is a person in the middle of the street and is blocking our way."

"What," Kurt asked and looked out the window. He saw they were stopped right outside of the Lima Bean.

Kurt opened the door and Sean was about to say something but Kurt gave him a look that said he knew what he was doing. He got out of the car and walked up until he was face-to-face with Santana.

"We could have ran you over."

"I knew you wouldn't."

"And if we did?"

"I would have sued your ass as fast as I could."

The friends smiled and moved onto the sidewalk.

"I saw your car with the Denmark flags and I knew you were not going to drive right by and not stop in to say goodbye to the most amazing person you have ever met despite the fact that I have not heard form you in weeks."

"Are you mad?"

"Am I mad that I now have royal connections and could make you do anything I wanted? No, not really. I just figured you and Blainers were to busy getting busy to call me."

Kurt laughed.

"That's not exactly what me and Blaine were doing and I'm not sure that is how it works but thanks."

"Look, I don't do mushy goodbye speeches. I think those are for wimpy people who have no balls so I will only say that you are not the most unbearable person I have had to spend time with so peace out."

Kurt hugged Santana and she actually smiled and hugged back.

"Will you do one thing for me Santana?"

"Snix does not do what other people want but what is your request?"

"Don't give up on Brittany. If you are meant to be together you will be."

"I will keep that in mind if you keep that in mind about Blaine."

"Fine," Kurt said and they made a deal.

"Well, I actually have to get back to work," Santana said, "So you get that perky ass back to Europe and I hope you are successful at taking over the world."

Before Kurt could respond she got up and walked back inside. Kurt turned and saw her take her place at the register. Suddenly all the memories of him working there came back, followed by all the memories of Blaine he had been blocking from his mind. He walked over and got back in the car. As the car started moving again he turned to Sean.

"Is that shoulder still available," Kurt said before sobbing on his friends shoulder.


The following hours were all a blur to Kurt. He went from a car to a plane then back to a palace car. It finally hit him that he was home when the car drove up to the palace.

"Welcome back," Sean said, "I'll help the workers get your bags to your room. There are some anxious people waiting for you inside."

Kurt rushed out the car and through the doors and stopped. There in front of him was his family. Kurt ran and gave his dad a hug.

"Kurt, oh my, it is so good to have you back."

"Dad, I missed you so much. I am so sorry for everything I have done I-"

"Hey kid, we don't have to talk about that now. All that matters is that my boy is back."

Father and son hugged for a while longer before it became a family hug.

"Carole, Finn, I missed you guys so much as well. Thank you for everything."

"We love you Kurt and missed you so much. It is nice to finally have the whole family home," Carole said, "But you look hungry. Do you want food? We should get you something to eat."

"No, I'm fine I promise. I just want family time."

"You hated family time," Burt said.

"Well, I'm different now, but in an amazing way," Kurt said.

"I'm kinda hungry," Finn said.

"Finn, Kurt just got home after being away for months and that is the first thing you say," Carole scolded.

Kurt just hugged his brother.

"I missed you Finn."

"I missed you too bro. Rachel yells at me more when you are gone."

"How are things with Rachel?"

"We are not back together but we are starting to talk again."

"Good, because I already have your wedding planned," Kurt said and everyone chuckled.

"Well, lets head to the parlor and Kurt can tall us all about his trip," Carole said.

"I have to call someone real quick and then I'll be there," Finn said walking into another room.

Kurt noticed that Sean was talking to his dad and Carole so he snuck off and eavesdropped on his brother's conversation.

"Hey, I just wanted to call and let you know that Kurt's back."

"Yes, he just got back. Burt wanted to make sure he was the first to welcome him home."

"Well, we are all just going to relax and have some good quality family time and I was wondering if you wanted to come see him."

"Rachel, of course you can come for family night. You are his best friend and will always be a part of this family."

"I promise it is fine. Kurt will be ecstatic to see you."

"Okay, see you soon."

Kurt quickly walked back to where his dad and Carole were sitting.

A few seconds later Finn appeared.

"Rachel is on her way over."

"Wonderful," Carole said.

"So Kurt, I talked to Sean and all your stuff is in your room."

"Dad, you need to send him in vacation or something."

"Do not worry Kurt. I will make sure he is generously rewarded for his service."

"Sweetie tell us all about your experience," Carole said excitedly.

Kurt told them all about the last few months. Well, not every detail, but most. Suddenly Rachel cam bursting into the room.

"KURT! YOU ARE BACK! YOU HAVE TO TELL ME EVERYTHING!"

"Rach, I will if you stop shouting in my ear," Kurt said.

"Sorry."

"I messed your loudness."

"Really?"

"Surprisingly yes. I missed my best friend so much."

"I missed you too."

"We need to have some quality time of our own."

"Rachel, why don't you spend the night," Burt suggested, "That way you and Kurt can spend all night catching up and talking about whatever it is you two talk about."

"I don't want anyone to be uncomfortable," Rachel said glancing at Finn.

"I think it's a great idea. We all want to append time with Kurt," Finn said sending a smile Rachel's direction.

'Oh, I am so getting them back together,' Kurt thought.


The Hummel-Hudson's (and Berry) spent the day talking and getting to know the 'new Kurt'. He wasn't really new more like the old Kurt that everyone loved. However, it got late and Burt said he was going to bed. Kurt was the one to help Burt to his room.

"Kiddo, I don't need no help."

"I know, I just really missed you."

"You know I only sent you away because I didn't want to watch yourself party to death."

"I know. My lifestyle was unhealthy and bad all around. I love you."

"I love you too, Kurt, you are my world. If something happened to you I would never forgive myself."

"Enough about me, what about you and your health."

"You have nothing to worry about. The doctors said I am fine. They just think the better I step down and start to relax the better."

"Well, they're right. I don't want to lose you either."

"Hell, I'm not going anywhere. I am not missing out an seeing you as king and am sure as hell am not missing out on your wedding day. I still need to meet this boy."

"Dad, you know Blaine and I are broken up."

"Yeah, for now," Burt said before disappearing into his bedroom.

Kurt smirked as he walked to his own room. Carole met him halfway.

"Burt in bed."

"Yep, you take such good care of him."

"It's nothing. Nothing was better for him then you coming home. Welcome back Kurt."

"I love you Carole."

"I love you too. Goodnight."

"Goodnight."

Kurt entered his room and saw Rachel on his bed.

"Rachel, you know you have your own room here."

"But we are having a sleepover. That means I am sleeping in here."

"Would that be because the other room is closer to Finn?"

"No."

"Suuuuure," Kurt said as he started to umpack.

"Do you want some help?"

"Sure."

"You know Sean would have done this for you."

"I know, but he has done enough. This is the least I could do."

Kurt opened one of his suitcases and saw two gifts.

"What in the hell?"

"OOOOH, whatcha got there?"

"I'm not sure."

"Well, read the cards and find out."

Kurt grabbed one gift and opened the small card.

'Kurt, to the world you may be a prince, soon to be king, but to us you will always be Kurt Warbler. Once a Warbler always a Warbler.' –David, Jeff, Nick and Wes

:) :) :)—Have some extra smiles to keep you happy –Jeff

"That is so sweet, Kurt open the present."

Kurt unwrapped the gift. He saw a picture frame with a yellow warbler on it. The picture was a group picture of Kurt and all his friends.

"Wow, they are hot," Rachel said, "And oh my god, you are so adorable in a uniform."

"What the hell are you talking about, I am sexy as hell in it."

Rachel laughed.

"Well, tell me who all these boys are."

"The blonde is Jeff, who is the biggest sweetheart on the planet, and next to him is his boyfriend Nick. Then there is my roommate David and then Wes and finally—"

"Oh, I know that cutie. That must be Blaine. I wonder why he didn't sign the card."

"Well, there is another gift."

Kurt held the next present in his hands. It was larger but softer.

'Kurt,

I know things are rocky right now but I had to write this. I am so sorry for running out on you. The emotions became to much and the reality that you were going to be gone hit me harder then I thought it would. I want you to always remember you are absolutely amazing and whoever you end up with is the luckiest guy in the world. I wish I was better and getting my words out to truly tell you how I feel but I can't fit it all in this letter. I never want you to forget your experience here at Dalton because no one will ever forget you. I wanted to give you this in person but I think if I did I would not be able to let you go and I know you belong in Denmark and your family needs you right now. I wanted to send this back with you so you will always know that you will always be a piece of Dalton history and you will always be in my heart.

I send you all my love,

Blaine D. Anderson

P.S. I always thought this looked better on you.'

Rachel was in tears.

"How can he say he is no good with words?"

Kurt peeled the wrapping paper apart and saw a Dalton sweatshirt. But it wasn't any sweatshirt, it was the one Blaine had given him.

"I gave this back to him. Oh my, it still smells like him."

"He still wants you to have a part of him. You always will," Rachel assured him.

"I need a distraction," Kurt said as a single tear fell, "Help me put the rest of my stuff away, please?"

"Of course," Rachel said and helped here friend.

Kurt and Rachel will talk all night until the early hours of the next morning. However, around six a.m. Kurt woke up and found himself curled up to Blaine's sweatshirt. He carefully got out of bed, grabbed the sweatshirt and walked down to the main floor. He sat near one of the windows and cried, careful to keep his tears off the article of clothing. Kurt was not sure how long he was there.

"Kurt?"

Kurt jumped.

"Finn? What are you doing up?"

"This is when I have been getting up lately."

"Oh, right."

"Are you okay? You look like you have been crying."

Kurt quickly wiped his eyes.

"No, no not really."

"You can tell me the truth. What are you holding?"

"Oh, this is um, Blaine's from school."

"You really miss him."

"I thought I would be okay once I got back but I'm not. I missed you all so much and words cannot express how happy I am to be with family, but-"

"It's not home anymore."

"What?"

"This palace does not feel like home to you anymore."

"Of course it does."

"Don't lie to be. I am your big brother."

"No you are not."

"Yes I am by a whole week."

"Come on."

"What, I am the oldest so therefore I am the wisest. Do you want to know how I know you know what I know?"

"Oh great wise one, you lost me."

"The reason I know how you feel is because since Rachel and I broke up this place hasn't fully felt like home either. The building does not make a home, the loved ones in it does."

Kurt was in shock.

'Holy crap, Finn is the wise one.'

"Yep, that is what I read in a fortune cookie once and I feel like it fits this situation pretty well."

'And there's the Finn I remember,' Kurt thought as he looked down at the red sewn on 'D' on the piece of clothing.

Kurt felt like Blaine was his soul mate, the one, but he knew only time will tell if they will every see each other again.


Blaine groaned as his mother opened his shades.

"Blaine, you have been in bed for days now. You are on break, call Wes, David, Nick, Jeff, someone and go do something."

"I don't wanna."

"Look I know break ups are hard but maybe this is for the better. You can focus on college and New York."

"I thought you liked Kurt."

"I do Blaine, but I want you to start getting ready for your future. You will be hearing back from colleges soon."

"Don't care."

"Okay, that does it. Out. Get dressed and go out."

"You are kicking me out."

"For the day. You need to live Blaine. Your friends have been calling like crazy. They miss you. I am not going to let you send the entire month off in bed."

"But-"

"No, no buts. Go hang out with your friends."

"Fine," Blaine mumbled as he literally rolled out of bed.

His mom rolled here eyes and laughed at her son.


Blaine got dressed and decided he would at least let his friends know he was alive. He texted Wes to see what his plans were for the day.

'Watching movies with David and Niff."

'I'm coming over,' Blaine replied.

Blaine drove to Wes' house and was greeted by his friends.

"Look, the undead lives," David teased.

"Ha, ha, very funny."

"Wow, Blaine is that what your hair looks like when it isn't drowning in gel," Jeff asked.

"You should all be comedians, I mean it."

"Oh, we tease because we care," Nick said.

Blaine actually smiled and took a seat next to Wes.

"So what are we watching?"

"Jeff's turn to pick," Wes said.

"Yes, and he is taking forever," Nick complained.

"Hey, if you want to keep getting hot and sexy action at night I suggest you stop complaining," Jeff said.

Nick stuck his tongue out and so did Jeff.

"Please don't start frenching on the new entertainment room chairs," Wes pleaded.

"I have made my decision," Jeff announced, "Romeo and Juliet."

"You have got to be kidding me," David said.

"What? I like that story. We just read it in class guys."

"Yes I had to read it, so I don't want to have to watch it now."

"The rules are that the movie selector gets his choice," Blaine reminded the group, "Besides I don't mind looking at Leo DiCaprio."

The others, beside Jeff, groaned as he put in the movie. Jeff snuggled up in Nick's arms as the movie started.

"No sex in the new chairs either," Wes said.

"Okay, we'll wait until they are not new," Nick joked and Wes threw a piece of popcorn his way.

Blaine had to admit, it was nice to be with his friends again. After the movie ended Jeff was crying.

"They always die in the end. You knew it was coming," Wes said.

"But it is still so sad. I don't know what I would if I didn't have Nick with me," Jeff said and instantly covered his mouth.

"What's wrong," Nick asked, very concerned, but Jeff ignored him.

"I'm sorry Blaine. I didn't mean to say that like that."

"What?"

"I have Nick here and you don't have, I mean, Kurt is-"

"Jeff, don't be scared to proclaim your love of Nick. I love you two together, you two have true love."

Jeff smiled.

"So did Romeo and Juliet. They didn't let anyone stay in their way. They knew they belonged together. They didn't let anything or one stand in their way. They even ran off and got married. Even families that hated each other could not keep them apart. They didn't care that the odds were against them, they knew in their hearts they were soul mates and that is all the needed."

Blaine suddenly jumped up.

"I have to go."

"Wait," Wes said as the other ran after him.

"Blaine where are you going?"

"Home, then the airport."

"Why?"

"I'm going to Denmark."

"Blaine-"

"No Wes, do not try to stop me or talk me out of this."

"I wasn't. I was going to offer to drive."


Blaine rushed into his house, past his parents and into his room. He quickly grabbed a bag and threw any clothes he could get a hold of and other necessities into it. He was in such a hurry that he didn't notice his parents enter the room.

"Blaine, Blaine sweetie, what are you doing?"

"Packing."

"I can see that," his mom said, "Are you staying at Wes' for the night?"

"No, I have to go to the airport and everyone is waiting in the car."

"Airport. Blaine, stop and talk to me."

Blaine faced his mom.

"I'm going to Denmark."

"Okay, well, when I said I wanted you to do something over break I meant in this country."

"No, I'm going after Kurt."

Jim Anderson stood between his wife and son.

"No you are not."

"Dad, yes I am. You have to accept this is who I am."

"There are boys here. Jeff and Nick are gay."

"Yes, and dating each other."

"Well, I will not allow you to leave this house and your mother will support me."

"Mom?" Blaine pleaded for help.

"Sweetie, I know you love Kurt and he loved you too, but have you thought this through all the way."

"No, that's why I have to go now before I talk myself out of it."

"You are not thinking rationally," Mr. Anderson said.

"Dad, I have to do this."

"No, you don't have to chase after some spoiled prince who is probably sleeping with some random guy right now-"

"DO NOT TALK ABOUT KURT LIKE THAT!"

"DO NOT RAISE YOUR VOICE AT ME! I AM PROTECTING YOU FROM THAT TRAMP!"

"How dare you."

"Don't push me Blaine."

"I love him. I will not let you stand in my way."

"Now you sound like Jeff. Is he the one that put this stupid idea in your head, I never liked him."

"Because you are heartless and cannot see that Jeff is the kindest person in the world who only wants to help people."

"Look, Blaine, I get that you are lonely but you don't have to go after Kurt Hummel. I know this guy at work and his son is gay, I really think you two will get along."

"Why?"

"Because you are both gay."

"You will never understand. Now, move."

"Fine, you want to go chase after some boy that will use and get rid of you fine. Maybe he should have come clean when he was here for thanksgiving like he wanted."

Blaine and his mom starred at him.

"What are you talking about?"

"What?"

"How do you know Kurt was originally going to tell me the truth when he was here."

Jim Anderson realized he had said to much.

"I mean, I don't know that I just read it somewhere."

"No, I have read every local and national story about him over the past few weeks. No reports ever said that. What the hell did you do?"

"This conversation is not about me."

"Why wont you answer the question," Kate asked her husband.

"Kate!"

"Come on dad, maybe it is time for you to come out."

Jim Anderson surrendered.

"Fine, after I saw you two kissing in the hall I did some research on him and found his true identity."

"And? Wait, this is about that 'talk' you had with him."

"I just wanted to protect you. I read articles about how he would sleep with a different guy every night."

"That is an over exaggeration. I know Kurt used to be a party boy. He is different now. Why didn't he tell me sooner."

"I told him that if he told you the truth I would make his family's life a living hell."

"JIM ANDERSON, how dare you do that."

"It's not my fault the kid couldn't tell I was bluffing."

"Because he cares about his family."

"He was going to hurt Blaine."

"And Blaine isn't hurt now? You did no good. I can't even look at you," Kate said with disgust and left the room.

"I can't believe you," Blaine said, "Nick was right, you threatened Jeff too didn't you."

"Blaine-"

"You can't control my life and my friends. Kurt and I could have had all this figured out by now."

Jim laughed.

"You think anything would be different right now?"

"You're right. If he had talked to me over break things might have ended up the same as they did. But there is a chance we could have talked it out and made a plan on what to do. I could have actually heard it from my boyfriend and not the crazy paparazzi."

"I'm sorry."

"It's to late for that. Now please get out of my way. I will not let you stand between me and Kurt."

Blaine's dad knew he had lost so he did as he was asked.

"Please be careful."

"Like you care," Blaine said.

"I do, but if you don't believe me, be careful for you mother."

Blaine stopped.

"I will. Tell her I'll call her."

Jim Anderson watched his son walk down the stairs and heard the front door close. He smiled and went into his room and found his wife.

"Did he go?"

"Yes."

"Good."

"You honestly think he is doing something good."

"Yes. He is going after love."

"He is to young for that."

"We were freshmen in college, he is a senior in high school."

"Our love is real."

"So is there's."

"You have got to be kidding me."

Kate stood up and moved away from her husband.

"No, because the way Blaine looks and Kurt and vice versa is the exact same way you would look at me."

Kate walked down the stairs and into her office. She wanted to cry. For Blaine and Kurt and herself and her husband. She was going to go for a drive when something caught her eye.


"Okay, you are going to country where you do not speak the language and know nothing about," Wes said as Blaine and his friends headed into the airport, "So find someone who speaks English."

"I know. I a pretty sure I can say Kurt and they will know who I am talking about."

"Tell Kurt we miss him like crazy," Jeff said.

"Will do," Blaine said.

"Blaine, let us know when you get there and keep us updated," Nick said.

"Of course."

"Good luck," David told his friend.

Blaine was about to continue on when a voice stopped him.

"Blaine, Blaine wait," Kate said as she entered the airport.

"Mom?"

"Oh, thank god I found you. Do you have your ticket?"

"Not yet. I was about to go find out when the next flight leaves."

Kate smiled.

"Well, you were in such a rush I think you forgot something."

"I was going to say goodbye but dad-"

"Not that. You are going to have a hard time getting to Denmark without this," Kate said handing Blaine a blue book.

"My passport. Oh my god, thanks Mom."

"Good luck Blaine."

Blaine hugged his mom.

"Tell Kurt hi for me."

"You got it."

"Blaine, there isn't going to be a direct flight so you might need to change planes. Be careful, do you have money? Make sure you convert it into the right monetary value. Dress appropriately-"

"Mom, I got it under control. Don't worry."

"Well of course I am going to worry I am your mom."

"Why did you do this for me?"

"Because, as much as I miss you when you are at school and want you to be at home when you can, as a parent I have to let you go. I can't hold you back, especially from love. He's the one isn't he."

"Yes mom, I know he is."

"Well, when most people dream of meeting their prince charming, they don't usually get a real prince."

Blaine smiled.

"I got something even better than a Prince Charming I got a Prince Kurt."

"Oh for the love of god, that is cheesy with extra cheese. Please never say that again, especially to Kurt. If you do and Kurt does not dump you on the spot I am going to question his sanity," Wes said.

"Whatever Wes. But mom, what about dad."

"Don't worry, I will handle him."

"Goodbye, everyone."

"Go get your man," the boys yelled as Blaine went up to the information desk.


Blaine was lucky and there were still spaces on a flight out of Ohio to Copenhagen, Denmark. Blaine tried to relax as the plane took off.

'Hold on Kurt, I'm not giving up on us.'
