Prologue

Kurt knows the rules; he knows he's not supposed to get invested in any human life, but he can't help himself. He's always been the odd one out among his flock. The only angel who's more interested in the lives that are going on below them than the games his fellow angels play.

Kurt loves watching humans fall in love and overcome obstacles. He follows the lives of several humans. He knows of these things that humans call soap operas, and he supposes that it can be compared to that, only better.

Lately, though, there has been one guy in particular that has held his attention: Blaine Anderson. Blaine had had such a wonderful future ahead of him. He had supportive parents, a loving brother and a wonderful almost-boyfriend. Then, tragedy had struck. On their way to a dance – and weren't dances just the most amazing and romantic thing ever – Blaine and almost-boyfriend had been beaten up. It had taken all of Kurt's self-control not to go down there and smite the bastards who were hurting Blaine.

Watching humans is discouraged, but not outlawed. Interfering in human lives, however, is one of the worst things an angel can do. Kurt had been forced to sit back and watch. He could have looked away, of course, but he needed to know if Blaine would be okay.

Blaine hadn't been okay. Physically, he had healed easily, but mentally…

Kurt felt for the boy; he wished more than anything that he could make his life better. Kurt watched as the boy slipped. He had been forced to 'come out' to his parents after the attack. Kurt was familiar with the concept but he didn't understand the big deal. For angels, it doesn't matter if you're attracted to men or women. His parents, once so loving and supportive, gave him the cold shoulder. His brother also became more and more distant. When almost-boyfriend killed himself six months after the attack, Blaine was a lost cause.

First, Blaine got his ears pierced, and then his eyebrow. Quickly, several more piercings were added to his ears. His parents turned a blind eye and forced him to remove them for social occasions. This wasn't enough for Blaine; he needed his parents to see him, to give him some attention. So, he found some seedy tattoo artist in the bad side of town who didn't ask for ID and got his first tattoo. As a result, he was no longer invited to social gatherings and he was sent to boarding school.

For a little while, things seemed to look better for Blaine, and Kurt was so relieved. Then, everything got worse. Blaine started hanging out with the wrong people. Kurt could see where this was going. He couldn't literally see it – it was forbidden to look into a human's future – but it wasn't hard to predict.

When Blaine got into this fighting club, Kurt had to fight his every instinct not to interfere. Blaine gets back to his dorm at the end of the night broken and bruised. More often than not, he will cry himself to sleep. His parents no longer answer his calls or emails, and his brother only does so sparingly. Blaine has fallen.

Kurt follows Blaine's every movement. He no longer pays attention to any of the other humans he had once followed. His heart aches for Blaine, and that's not good. Kurt knows himself well, and he knows he's a sucker for broken creatures. He'll spend weeks trying to nurse a sick bird back to health. When he looks at Blaine, he knows there's only one thing he wants to do: make him better.

When Blaine cries himself to sleep, Kurt wants to hold him. When Blaine gets into a fight, Kurt wants to protect him. When Blaine's parents ignore him, Kurt wants to tell him he's worth something. However, more than all of that, Kurt wants to tell Blaine he loves him. He wants to hold Blaine in his arms and fall asleep together. He wants to walk hand in hand with Blaine. He wants to give Blaine flowers and take him out for dinner. Kurt is in big trouble.

"You've been looking at the humans a lot lately," Someone interrupts Kurt's thoughts. "Is something wrong?"

Kurt looks to his right; he knows this angel, David. "I... You mustn't tell anyone."

"You know you can trust me," David says.

Kurt knows it's true. David and him hadn't always been friendly with each other, but for the past three centuries they'd been the best of friends, and lovers. Lately, there's even been talk of them starting a flock of their own, one of the highest honors. "I think I have fallen for a human," Kurt lets out, deflated.

"Oh, that's not good."

"You think?" Kurt retorts. "Of course it's not good. It's the worst thing I could do. We're supposed to start a flock together, and here I am, in love with a human."

David doesn't judge him. He sounds a bit disappointed, which Kurt can't blame him for; David had been looking forward to starting a flock with Kurt. "Show him to me."

Kurt shows Blaine to David. It's night where Blaine is, and the boy is crying again.

"He looks sad. What's wrong with him?" David asks.

Kurt tells Blaine's story from the beginning. Kurt's been watching since Blaine was born. He tells David how happy his parents were with a second healthy son, how Blaine's brother had been so happy to have a little brother to play with and boss around. Then, he tells David how Blaine's entire life was turned around, how the boy went from straight As to a smoking, fighting boy without a future.

"I want to help him, David. Angels used to help humans all the time. Why can't we do that anymore?" Kurt asks, even though he knows the answer.

"It is forbidden," is all David says.

"I know it is."

"Kurt," Dave whispers in Kurt's ear. "I love you and I want you to follow your heart. If your heart leads you to Blaine, I won't stop you."

"The Elders will. They'll punish me."

"You have to decide if their punishment is worth it for you. Would you rather spend the rest of your life wondering what could have happened if you'd helped Blaine, or would you risk it all to find out?" David leaves Kurt alone after those words.

Kurt has a lot to think about. He knows David's watching him. Kurt wishes he could just forget about Blaine. He's happy with David – he loves him – but Blaine is so special; he's so different from the angels, so much more complex.

Kurt is constantly weighing his options. Should he stay safe and be loved by David or should he risk it all for Blaine? In the end, his choice is easy.

David's watching Blaine with him.

"Does he get into fights often?" David asks.

"Yes. It's his way of dealing. Him and his 'friends' fight each other to prove who's the strongest."

"Does he know he's tiny? He doesn't stand a chance," David jokes.

"He's tougher than you might think," Kurt says without taking his eyes off of Blaine.

"Oh, that looked like it hurt," David comments.

Kurt can't help but wince as well. Blaine is on the ground, the boy he was fighting standing over him with his hands in the air; Blaine's lost. The group quickly leaves, and Blaine is the only one still at the empty parking lot.

"He's not getting up," David says. "Do you think he's okay?"

Kurt's holding his breath. Blaine has to be okay. He has to be alive.

Blaine stirs. He's a bit unsteady as he gets to his legs. There's some blood dripping down from his right temple. Suddenly, Kurt knows what he has to do.

"I'll cover for you. I don't know how long you'll have before The Elders call you back," David says. He knows Kurt well enough to know that Kurt's made his decision.

"Thank you." Kurt places a quick kiss on David's cheek and jumps down.
