It had become Blaine's job to make his boyfriend happy. Anything to see him smile, to hear that adorable giggle. Sure he'd been happy at Dalton before meeting Kurt that day on the staircase but everything in life was far better than he could've imagined. And that was because of the older boy. He just owed him so much. More than he could put in words.
So here he was on the first day of school already planning how he was going to tell his parents that he was moving schools. McKinley. That was where he was meant to be.
"Blaine? You okay?"
He smiled back dopily at the sound of Kurt's voice.
"Better than okay" he assured his boyfriend before finishing off the rest of his medium drip. Kurt's face morphed into a hesitant smile and he quickly rushed to turn that smile as true as possible.
"I'm good. I'm just going to be late for Warbler practice" he said as he stood up and wrapped his boyfriend in a tight hug.
"Call me tonight?"
Kurt nodded as he slumped back down in his chair. He hated that his boyfriend was so many hours away at Dalton while he was stuck at McKinley. Dalton was Blaine's home though, his solace and Kurt knew that they would just have to try and deal with the distance.
Blaine hung his head as the shouting continued in his living room, wincing at the words his father was using to describe his relationship. He stood nervously in the middle of the well kept room, having only minutes ago confessing that he wanted to transfer to McKinley.
"You can't move to be with someone Blaine. Especially a boy. That's what got you into such a mess in the first place. Do you not remember the dance? Do you want that pain all over again. He's just a crush Blaine. You know it's not going to last."
Blaine shook his head vehemently as his father's voice got louder and cringed at that smell of alcohol wafting from his breath.
"No. Dad. Stop. I love Kurt. I love him and you're not going to change that. Nothing is going to change that" he defended, surprised at himself with the few moments of courage.
"Sweetie. We're just trying to look out for you" came the soothing voice from his mom as she moved across the room to try and diffuse the situation. "Public school has been horrible for you and we just don't want to see you hurt again"
Blaine wet his lips nervously. "I know, it's going to be hard. But in two years I graduate. I have to get out of the bubble that Dalton provides. Please. Please just let me do this"
It happened. Kurt didn't think it was possible but Blaine was sitting in the choir room with him. He'd moved for him. But Kurt was a little worried. The little performance he'd done in the courtyard had seemed to get a few people off side. And he hadn't missed the whispers that it was just another Jesse St James.
Blaine had seemed so excited when he'd entered the choir room. He had that adorable puppy dog look about him and Kurt could feel his blood boiling as Finn shut that down. He could all but feel his boyfriends fear as he slumped down in his chair, nervously picking at his fingernails.
Kurt put a hand over Blaine's in an attempt to comfort him and couldn't help but keep glancing at him as the rehearsal went on.
Blaine had slipped his bag on as fast as possible as soon as it had ended and scurried out the room before Kurt had a chance to catch up to him. Kurt walked through the hallway, sighing in frustration when he was no where to be found.
"I'm sorry I left without you. Mom wanted me home early. I'll make it up to you. Love you xx - B"
Blaine knew his boyfriend would have been worried but he really wasn't in the right state of mind to be talking with him earlier at school. He was angry at himself more than anything for letting Finn get to him and had gone straight to the gym, letting his feelings out on the boxing bag.
Blaine thought for a second before picking up his buzzing phone and putting it to his ear.
"B?" Kurt asked, the concern floating through his voice.
"Oh hey. I'm sorry about today" Blaine answered automatically as he tried to figure out how best to appease his boyfriend. "I'm okay" he continued. "I'm sorry if I worried you"
"No. No" Kurt hurried, cutting off his boyfriends rambling. "It's fine Blaine. I was just worried about you. I'm sorry Finn was such an asshole. I'll talk to him okay?"
Kurt bit his lip from the comfort of his bedroom. "I wanted you to come to McKinley so we could be together. I would understand if you want to go back to Dalton with..
"What. Kurt. No. I love you. I've dealt with worse before. It's okay. It's just going to take some getting used to."
"Kurt?" Blaine asked when he hadn't heard anything for a few seconds.
"I love you" the mumbled voice said as it finally came through the phone.
"I love you too. So much. Pick you up tomorrow for breakfast?" he asked lightly, the smile coming through his voice.
"Yeah" Kurt nodded, forgetting he was on the phone. "I should go but are you sure you're okay?"
"Promise. Goodnight sweetie"
Kurt chuckled despite himself at Blaine's pet name. "You're adorable" he added, sighing again as his boyfriend immediately ended the call. The worry still there.
