Kurt pulled his luggage out of the attic, clunking it violently down the stairs behind him.

"Do you really have to go?" Blaine asked sadly.

"Yeah. Isabelle needs me at this event. But it's only for one weekend!" Kurt said optimistically.

Blaine wasn't having any of it. "I'm going to miss you," he said sadly.

"And I'm going to miss you." Kurt leaned over to give Blaine a kiss. "Can you hand me my laundry basket over there, please?" Kurt asked.

Blaine retrieved the basket and Kurt unzipped his suitcase and flipped it open, ready to dump the basket's contents inside. Something sparkly caught his eye and he smiled. "There it is!" he explained.

"There's what?" Blaine asked.

Kurt pulled a tiny glass fairy out of his suitcase, dangling in the air by a string. "My mom got it for me when I was really little. She's kind of my good luck charm," he replied.

Blaine gently took it from Kurt's hand. "What did you think happened to it?" he asked.

"I thought it got lost in the move home or Santana took it because she's Santana or something," Kurt laughed.

Blaine could tell how happy Kurt was that he found it again. "It's beautiful. And I can tell how much you love it."

"Is it weird that I feel like there's a little piece of my mother in it? Like she's kind of with me through it?" Kurt asked.

"Of course that's not weird! That's beautiful! And she'll be with you on this trip this weekend!" Blaine said happily.

Kurt looked at it again and smiled. "Yeah. She'll keep me safe."
