A/N: Repeating plotlines with different words is fun! Sorry guys...there's just a couple more of angsty 'I FUCKING MISS YOU SO MUCH' before we move on to the happy 'KURT DIDN'T GO TO NYADA SO HE'S SAD BUT WE'RE ALL HAPPY AND KIND OF PISSED' bits. Mm. :)

Kurt's phone beeped beside him, and he read the message, a smile spreading across his face.
(4:05) From; Blaine.
Ready for our skype chat?
Kurt's smile faded just as quickly as it had appeared. Ever since he'd left Lima for New York, his daily skype chats with Blaine had become increasingly painful – to the point where one or the other of them had to end the conversation before they ended up in tears.
It wasn't that they hated their chats – sometimes they were the only thing Kurt had to look forward to. It was more the fact that they couldn't be with each other, couldn't touch, and kiss, and hold each other whenever they wanted to. The distance between them was becoming harder to deal with, more of a problem.
Turning his laptop on, Kurt laughed as he found Blaine's icon already up on his screen. He clicked on it, opening the window and sprawling on his stomach, making himself comfortable.
"Hey gorgeous." Blaine grinned at him. "Comfy?"
"It could be better." Kurt teased, suddenly wanting to feel Blaine's solid warmth beside him.
"Yeah..." They fell quiet for a moment, each caught in their own thoughts. Kurt snapped out of it first.
"So... how's school?"
Blaine gave a startled laugh.
"You... You really want to talk about school?"
"No..." Kurt sighed. "How have you been? I miss you..."
Blaine sighed, running a hand through his hair, the curls just starting to come free of the gel.
"It's really hard without you...And I miss you all the time. Every second of every day, as cheesy as that sounds." Blaine smiled. "When are you coming home?" he asked, his voice breaking halfway through.
Blaine's voice was so sad Kurt almost started crying then and there.
"Soon." He whispered, barely audible. He cleared his voice and tried again. "Soon. Christmas is in two months... So six weeks at the most?"
Blaine looked down at his hands.
"That's... That's not soon at all. Six weeks is a really long time."
"I know babe." Kurt tried to smile.
"When..." Blaine gulped. "When we decided to do this long distance thing, I didn't realise it'd be this hard..."
Kurt's lip quivered.
"What... what are you saying?" he asked slowly.
"Just... I didn't realise how much I'd miss being able to touch you." Blaine bit his lip, hard.
Kurt wiped his hand across his face, getting rid of the tears that were threatening to fall.
"I love you... I don't want to be away from you anymore."
"We can't do anything about it though..." Kurt's voice shook. "You... you have to graduate, and I... I'm almost halfway through my first year of NYADA..."
Blaine dropped his hand down to rest on his arms.
"Doesn't mean I miss you any less." He mumbled into them, his shoulders starting to shake.
"Blaine? Babe? Are you okay?"
Blaine looked up, trying to wipe away the tears running down his face. Kurt reached out to him instinctively, dropping his hand when he touched the screen
"Don't cry... "
Blaine dropped his face into his hands, sobbing helplessly.
"I...can't stop." He sobbed. Kurt raked his fingers through his hair, tears starting to escape his own eyes.
"You can't cry, it'll just make me cry more." Blaine said weakly, smiling at Kurt.
"I can't deal with this anymore. I hate that I can't hug you when you're sad."
"Hey... Six weeks right?" Blaine smiled at him gently. "It'll be okay. We'll be okay."
"I know... I just miss you."
"I know babe."
Kurt sighed, glancing at the time and running an agitated hand through his hair. "I'm sorry Blaine, but I have to go..."
"Class?" Blaine asked.
"No, some stupid thing Rachel's making me go to with her." Kurt smiled slightly. "I'll talk to you tomorrow, right?"
"Yeah." Blaine grinned. "Love you..."
"Love you too. Miss you." Kurt whispered.
"Miss you more." Blaine said with a watery smile. Kurt blew him a kiss before shutting his laptop.
Six weeks wasn't that long... Right?
