A/N

I know this is a little late but well, never mind! Its how Come What May should have gone. I paraphrased a little of the scenes for ease.

I own nothing you recognise. (also posted on my Tumblr)

Enjoy!


Kurt just sat there. Asking himself, why? He couldn't understand why he'd chosen this film, how had it not clicked? It must have been second nature to him; he was so used to just being able to watch the film and crying into Bla...his pillow. Now though, now it was all different.

For a start he was sitting on a sofa in New York. It didn't feel right. He should be lay on a bed in Ohio or curled up on his sofa in a blanket trying to explain to his dad why it's such an important song. He should be sat with a shorter boy curled up under him, holding him close and singing softly in his ear as he stroked his hair. He could see it and almost feel it. Both of them in sweats, trying not to cry and thinking about the future and what this song held for them. Or he was smiling broadly at his phone where he's just text said boy a line of the song only to receive the next one back almost instantly. But no, that's not where he was and it wasn't like that anymore.

As THE song came to an end and the flash backs and mental image he's conjured up in his head began to disappear he was pulled out of his daze.

"Are you crying Kurt?" a voice asked softly. Oh god, Adam. Was he crying? Yes, those were tears in his eyes, damn. Erm lie Kurt!

"What? No it's just my contacts are hurting me" he replied quickly. Wow, lying, he hasn't done that for a while Kurt. He hates to have to lie after all that time of not telling his dad things.

The conversation about Kurt's non-existent contacts goes on but Kurt isn't really with it. He tries, he really does but all he can see is the scene playing over and over in his head. He's just about to re-see his favourite part where he's held close into his chest, where he felt so safe when Santana pulls him, once again, form his daze.

"...been crying because you and Blaine talked about singing this at your wedding to each other" she said, smirking.

Oh no. No Kurt, don't cry. I can't breathe, it's all too much. Blaine would hold me know, he'd talk me down, i miss him so much. Oh god Blaine, how did we end up like this? I've got to get out of here.

Without another look in anyone's direction he jumps off the sofa, grabs his phone off the table, his coat off the hook and runs out of the apartment holding back tears and ignoring the confused calls from Adam. I can't deal with him right now, I need Blaine. He ran down the flights of stairs and wrapped up in his coat and accompaniments he'd stuffed into his pockets the night before. By the time he could see the street he was wrapped up warm and the tears were streaming down his face.

He knew, he knew someone would come after him so he text Rachel.

Don't come after me. I'm fine. I'll be back when I'm ready – K

He knew she'd listen. They'd been friends long enough for her to know when he needed to be left alone and when he was just being stubborn and now, now he needed to be alone. Well not completely alone. He went into his contacts and straight to his name. He didn't hesitate in pressing the call button as he made his way slowly down the road away from his flat. Kurt shuck as it rang, itching to talk to the man on the end of the phone.

He couldn't help but cry when it went to voicemail. He was immediately transported back to last Christmas in the hallways.

"To always pick up your phone call, no matter what I'm doing"

His rational mind would have worked out that Blaine was i n Glee right now and although he'd left a lesson before to talk to Kurt he didn't think Blaine would hear his phone in Glee time. However Kurt wasn't thinking rationally right now. He was hurting and confused and so he though he doesn't love me anymore, he's moved on. He doesn't want to talk to me. What have i done? He rang twice more getting the same response and by this point the tears were streaming freely down his face. He had started to walk back to his apartment and as he did he sent a text to Blaine in one last effort to get a response.

Blaine, I need you – K

He leant against his building, snow falling around him and took deep breaths to calm himself so he could deal with the storm that would erupt when he got back. It wasn't long before born this way was blasting from his pocket. Blaine.

He dove his hand into his pocket and answered tensely put it to his ear.

"Kurt? Kurt are you okay?" Blaine breathed down the phone, clearly out of breath.

"No" Kurt meekly mumbled.

"What's wrong? Talk to me?" Blaine asked voice soft and comforting.

"I, where were you?" Kurt asked, deflecting.

"We were performing in glee, I'm so sorry i didn't pick up, you know i would have if I could, don't you?"

"Yer, i know you would"

"Come on then, no deflecting anymore, what's wrong?" Blaine always knew how forceful to be with Kurt. He was fragile when he was upset but you had to push to get anything out of him.

"We were, we were watching a film because classes have been cancelled and we were watching Moulin Rouge and then that scene came on...our scene and all i could see and think was you Blaine. Our first kiss, the first time we met, the first time we made love. All of it Blaine it was all there and I didn't know what to do Blaine. I just didn't know!" Kurt cried. He was not stood on the top floor of his building. It was empty save the washing machines and he wanted to be hidden but it was too cold to be in the snow.

"Oh, oh Kurt. It's okay too feel like that" Blaine said, unconvincingly. He was trying to hold back his own tears.

"I don't want to feel like this though!" Kurt cried. He heard a sharp intake of breath on the other end and realised what he'd said. "No, no not like that B, I just. I'm so tired of missing you, it hurts so much and it's not worth it" he explained.

"Oh, well what do you want me to do honey? What about...Adam?" Blaine wanted to tell Kurt it would all be okay, he wanted to tell him to get back with him and he wanted to scream into his pillow out of joy not frustration. Blaine, however, wanted Kurt to be happy more than he wanted any of this, so he'd wait.

"I want you to hold me Blaine. I want you to take me in your arms and hold me close and tell me it will be okay. I want you to take me to your room and curl up next to me on your bed and sing to me when I'm sad. I want; i want you to be mine again Blaine."

"What about the whole, just friend's motto we were living by?"

"I was trying to convince myself that's what we were Blaine. Honestly, have we ever been just friends? With everything we've been though and all i fell for you. You'll never just be my friend"

"You're never just mine either Kurt"

"Blaine, I love you so much" Kurt said, choked up.

"I love you too Kurt" Blaine replied, a hint of tears in his voice.

"I'm coming home. I just booked my ticket" Kurt stated after a moment of silence, closing the airports webpage down on his phone.

"What?" Blaine asked, seeing if he's miss heard.

"I'm coming home, now. The snows almost stopped and the airports will be open soon. Classes have been cancelling all week and i didn't get to spend any time with my dad at the wedding. It's perfect. Of course, first thing I'm doing is coming to you. Don't make anymore plans because i don't think I'll be able to let yo go. Seeing all this Blaine, it's made me get past my stubbornness and just let it be. Allow myself to love you and stop trying to fight it"

"Yes. Oh Kurt, I'm so happy right now. I never thought I'd hear you say that. This is the stuff my dreams are made of"

"Mine too baby, mine too."

"Kurt, i have to go. Face time me at the airport, I'll be home by then"

"Okay, thank you Blaine, for everything"

"I'm always here for you. I love you"

"I love you too" Kurt smiled as he hung up.

He was quickly greeted with a text.

I can't wait to see you, hold you, kiss you again – B x

Sure, they were nowhere near perfect and they had so much to work on, so much still to get in the way of them but Kurt knew, he knew they were stronger now. Stronger than they ever were and they both knew what the other needed more than ever now. They'd have a hard time battling work and a relationship but both boys knew, in this moment that they could do it and it was so, so worth it. This was love like never before. This was Kurt and Blaine how they should be.
