Starts when Blaine cheats, a few weeks before Nationals, which the Warblers are still in the running for and Kurt hasn't found out about Blaine cheating. Rachel and Finn have broken up and Finn is leading the Glee Club to Nationals. Mr. Shue is already married to Emma with their first child on the way. Brody has moved out and Rachel broke up with him after Santana proved that she was right. Santana, Kurt and Rachel are living together in New York, still all friends and happy. The club managed to get through sectionals after Blaine confronts the Warblers about cheating and regionals isn't a thing so their next stop is Nationals in LA.
It's two weeks before Nationals and it's mid-November so it's cold outside in both NY and Lima but there hasn't been snow in Lima yet, only in New York so they're all excited waiting for the first snow of the season.
Sugar, Joe, Rory and Brit are gone already, where? Don't know, don't care. (They're part of the nationals team)
"So how's McKinnley?" Kurt asks even though he honestly doesn't care. He's just trying to find some reason to call his boyfriend who's still stuck in Lima. Blaine knows that Kurt doesn't really care about the school or him, they're drifting apart just like everyone said they would when Kurt packed up and headed to New York. "It's fine, a little slow and boring without you here." Blaine states as he stares at the wall across from him. He's currently lounging in the choir room, the last chair up against the right wall on the third tier up. His chair's back is against the wall and his right leg is bent, knee resting against the wall with his foot on the ground and his left leg stretched out across two other chairs. School ended several hours ago and Glee practice was just dismissed. The club is working hard for Nationals and Finn is making them put in lots of time, not that Blaine minds, but it's a little overkill. He has Kurt on speaker, half listening to him babble about his Vogue internship he's working on and half focusing on his Facebook feed he's scrolling through. His finger hovers over the 'poke' button on Eli's profile. He hits the poke button and almost instantaneously Eli messages him. 'What's up Sexy?' Blaine smiles at his phone from the message from Eli. Eli is making him feel happy, and loved the way that Kurt's texts used to make him feel, back when Kurt was texting him. Blaine hesitates when the next message that comes from Eli invites him over. He knows that it's wrong and if Kurt ever found out, 'yes'
"Hey you still there?" Kurt asks, scaring Blaine from his online conversation. "Yeah yeah totally. Sorry Sam just texted me, some big class president thing and-" Kurt cuts him off, really honestly not caring and for once Blaine is glad because his excuse is complete shit but he needs to have Kurt hang up first. "I have work anyways." Kurt says and Blaine mumbles a rushed 'I love you' before Kurt hangs up and Blaine grabs his bag and heads off to his local hookup.
