CHAPTER ONE

"Music is everywhere. It's in the air between us, waiting to be sung."

David Levithan, How They Met, And Other Stories

Blaine breathed a sigh of relief when he finally closed his apartment door. When you're a 21 year old guy with a pretty strong sexual stamina and a relatively hot boyfriend, getting distracted from what you're supposed to do turns into one of those everyday problems. But not today. Today, Blaine managed to pull himself away from his boyfriend's big, toned arms and told him they'd have to cancel their wall sex session. It was hard to convince Matthew that no, he wasn't joking but in the end, Matt let him go with the promise of a blowjob as a wake up call.

His shoes were kicked off the moment he walked in the apartment, his satchel found its place on the floor next to his denim jacket. When he finally took his place on the blue, ikea couch there were still five minutes until the Q & A he'd been looking forward to for so long. He logged into Twitter on his phone, iPad and notebook respectively. There is one thing you should know about Blaine. He never does things half way. When he's hungry, he finishes a Full House XL pizza by himself. When he studies, he doesn't stop until he sees the first light of the day with his trash full of empty coffee cups and energy drink cans. He cries his eyes out when he's upset a pint of Ben and Jerry's cookie dough ice cream by his side. And when he's interested in something or someone, it doesn't matter really, he gets crazy about it. There isn't one single Woody Allen movie that Blaine hasn't seen. He knows everything there is to know about him. He has every single copy of his films, every single movie poster. So yes. When Blaine deems something important enough, he becomes a devoted fanboy, a term he proudly uses for himself when it comes to David Levithan.

Blaine discovered David Levithan when he was a clueless freshman in high school. It isn't that thanks to him or his characters, Blaine came to terms with his sexuality. Oh, Blaine's known he had a thing for boys since he was an adorable, kindergarten student and made his first Valentine's Day card for another adorable kindergarten student who he used to call "dear" Tom. Unfortunately for him, Tom didn't find boys with Spider Man sweatpants as awesome as Blaine did. He was a more like girls in pretty dresses kind of boy. But that never stopped Blaine from admiring boys in Spider Man sweatpants. See, Spider Man here is a loose term. Blaine never stopped liking boys in sweatpants. But also just because Blaine didn't stop finding them pretty doesn't mean they started to like him back magically.

People around him never had a problem with his sweatpants obsession though. They are used to seeing two gay men walking hand in hand or two women sharing sweet, lady kisses in Chicago. It's not a San Fransisco maybe, but it allows you to be who you are without so much of a fuss.

No, homophobia, bullying, parent rejection... These weren't Blaine's problems. But that was the thing. Blaine didn't want to think that he had it good. He didn't want to have to appreciate the acceptance and tolerance he's been bestowed with. To him, no one should have to feel any gratitude for being allowed to be who they are. He wanted people to look at a gay couple and not to see a gay couple, but just two people in love. He didn't want to hear the annoying "awww" of his girlfriend's whenever he talks about how hot Ryan Gosling is. He hated when people said "See, you can even get married in 18 states now." Even. Maybe he was asking too much from a world that's all about labels but he'd like to see he wasn't the only one thinking that way. So that's where this tiny, genius man came to his rescue. Blaine felt like Christmas came early when he first saw the book Boy Meets Boy on the shelf of his favorite book store. The cover of the book wasn't anything special. Just a baby blue base with three litte heart shapes on it. But the title... The title was everything Blaine wanted.

Okay, maybe the book isn't a literary masterpiece. Maybe the author isn't as witty as Anthony Burgess or as popular as John Green. But his work stands out in its refusal to categorize gay characters and that was more than enough for Blaine. While reading Paul and Noah's high school romance, Blaine forgot that the characters were gay, the only thing he could focus on was that they were young and deeply in love. Well, as deeply as one could at that age. Blaine wanted it all too. A high school romance, coffee dates, sweet notes exchanged during class, random locker meetings... But he also wanted to have those things like it was no big deal. He wanted people to react to it like they did to Jason's dating Ashley.

In the end, it's David Levithan's book that gave him the courage to take a risk and get what he wanted. He met his Noah in his junior year. They had awkwardly cute coffee dates, walked hand in hand in the school corridors, shared sweet kisses in the empty classrooms. And it was no big deal.

Blaine typed out the same question on his phone, iPad and notebook over and over again. Nobody knew but if David Levithan replied to him tonight, he'd be one big step closer to making his biggest dream come true.

davidlevithan Would you want Boy Meets Boy to be made into a movie?

Blaine's known he'd end up doing it no matter what since the day he chose Screen-writing as his major. But hearing it being approved by the author himself would give him the biggest push he needed for his final project this year. He always thought he'd study somewhere other than Chicago. Maybe in New York or somewhere in California, but Northwestern University has one of the best art programs in the country. They offered Blaine a really satisfying scholarship for his short film script and his parents helped him have his own apartment close to the campus so he couldn't complain really.

So he just waited and waited and waited. His heart gave a jump every time he got a notification on Twitter. But unfortunately none of them was from the man of the night. Instead they're just some people favoriting or retweeting his tweet. A guy named David Avery even told Blaine what a great idea it was. Well, yeah, if only the other David would think that way too.

Blaine just kept tweeting the same question over and over again, checking the questions that David Levithan chose to answer with a heavy heart. Lucky bastards. Apparently there were luckier bastards, because seconds after, he saw David directly tweeting someone called Kurt Hummel and thanking him for the most special question he'd ever been asked. Blaine didn't waste time to go to that said Kurt's Hummel's profile to see the supposedly most special question.

davidlevithan What is the most played song on your iPod?" Blaine stared at the screen blankly for a while, all the efforts of getting his question answered forgotten. This was the most special question that's ever been asked to him? He tapped the screen to the answer.

KurtHummel Nobody's ever asked me that before which is strange because it strikes me as an obvious one to ask a music obsessive. In this case, it's Robyn's Dancing On My Own.

Okay, now he could see why David Levithan liked the question so much. He was right. Music was one of the greatest parts of his books. Blaine even had a Boy Meets Boy playlist. He still hadn't found his Elsewhere song but the dreamy connection the author caught with the words and the music never failed to amaze him. That's why he didn't hesitate to favorite this Kurt Hummel's tweet. Obviously he got David Levithan better than him. He deserved to be appreciated even just for that. When he turned back to his profile to check if he'd asked any other questions too, he couldn't help smiling at the cute, little, open mouthed puppy picture on his icon. Blaine is a dog person and he thinks people are really like the animals they love. But what made him smile even bigger was the quote he used for his bio. It was the exact same line as Blaine had on his.

"The world loves stupid labels. I wish we got to choose our own."

Blaine didn't hesitate to tap the follow button after that. Obviously this Kurt Hummel guy was awesome and Blaine was a big fan of awesome himself.

Kurt is too busy freaking out when his phone notification lights up with the davidlevithan mentioned you in a tweet to notice the new follower he received right away. The patrons at his local coffee shop give him weird looks as he squeals behind his grande nonfat mocha, they don't understand. They don't understand what it means to be tweeted by THE David Levithan, they don't understand how huge it is that David said Kurt's question was the most special question he has ever been asked.

Kurt rearranged his whole night to follow this live chat, hoping he would be noticed by his favorite author but never in a million years actually expecting that it would happen. Kurt was just scrolling the tag, ignoring the texts from his boyfriend as to when he would be over and waited for David to answer another question to confirm that indeed he did want Boy Meets Boy on the big screen; because how brilliant would that be? Then he got his reply. It was a simple question about music, and the answer was something Kurt was sure to overanalyze and make connections that a normal person would not make or even thing about. It was one of the three questions that Kurt felt really told you if a person was worth the time. Being a writer, okay, a blogger aspiring to be a writer, Kurt had a thing for words. Words in pages of a book, words sung through music or actual spoken words; words are powerful things and something that was definitely not lost on Kurt. Being noticed by your favorite author is one thing but being noticed by the one person that besides Kurt's father has made a notable impact on his life, well that is fucking huge.

Kurt discovered "Boy Meets Boy" while he was spending yet another lunch period in the library, hiding from the numerous bullies and ridicule that undoubtedly awaited him in the lunchroom. Kurt clearly remembers this moment because as soon as he read the title he thought it was a huge mistake that their school library even carried such a book. It was unfair of him to label the whole school, the whole town as homophobic because that wasn't the truth. He had a very supporting family, a couple fantastic friends but a lot of times it still felt like he was alone in a world where he didn't fit. In fact, Kurt was afraid that they would notice this mistake and take the book, those words from him, so he stuck it in his bag without checking it out. It still sits on his shelf today with the "Please return to McKinley High" sticker on the inside. It is notable to understand that Kurt still considers this in the top five craziest things he has ever done.

Kurt spent that entire night with the book, the pages dotted with his tears once he finished. Although the story of Noah and Paul was touching, that wasn't the reason for his tears. It was because in Kurt's wildest imagination he could not fathom a place where gay was accepted, where two boys could fall in love, endure a broken heart and even be able to find each other again. Kurt's high school experience was far from this fantasy. Kurt was forced out of the closet his freshman year, not because he wanted people to know his business but because he was tired of people calling him gay as an insult. He thought that if at least he admitted that he did in fact like boys, when he was called a homo it was more of a fact then an insult as ridiculous as that sounded. The way Kurt was treated by those homophobic assholes guaranteed that there would never be another boy Kurt could pass sweet notes to, or hold hands down the hall way with, he was destined to make it through alone. Kurt was proud of how he got through high school, he came out a little bruised, a little weary of trusting people, a little skeptical but definitely stronger.

Kurt carried David's fairy tale with him all through high school and into college. It was one of the reasons he moved to New York, that and he got into one of the top fashion schools in the country. New York seemed like the type of place where he could make his dreams come true and find his Paul. Kurt was well on his way to making those dreams come true, running a successful fashion blog and interning at Vogue with hopes of a permanent position after he graduates. And he did find someone... maybe not a Paul but that is why it was a story, right? The movie is never as good as the book, so to speak. He met Michael at this very coffee shop, his own personal barista. Michael had a way with words and had Kurt drinking coffee four times a day within a week. They mostly talked about music and TV but never books. He wasn't much of a "bookworm." This was a hard pill for Kurt to swallow, still is. But Michael is a boy that loves Kurt, sometimes a little too much, and that was much more than what he had back in Ohio.

Kurt took a couple more breaths before returning to twitter to flail with his other fandom followers when he saw the notification that Blaine Anderson had just followed him. Kurt didn't just follow anyone, he can't stand the drama that came with all fandoms and he desperately tried to avoid that so Kurt immediately went to check Blaine's profile. Blaine's profile picture was an empty director's chair in front of a simple black background with just one quote. For words being so important to Kurt the simplicity of his profile would have usually deterred him but that quote, the quote that had Kurt smiling behind his now empty nonfat mocha, told him everything he needed to know and so he clicked follow instantly and then typed out a message.

BAnderson Hi there new follower & fellow Levithan fan! (we need a fandom name) For the record, Boy Meets Boy NEEDS to be made into a movie!
