I can t do this Blaine broke into a light jog, his shoes tapping across the polished wood floor. He wanted to duck into an empty classroom, to prevent the meeting from ever taking place, but he needed to get there before Kurt left. His hands were sweating into the velvet box. Oh Christ, I can t give a sweaty case to Kurt, that s disgusting He sped up, wiping his hands one after another on his Dalton jacket. Through the open front doors, he saw Kurt wearing a white trench coat. Through his anxiety, Blaine began to smile. Kurt looked like an angel glowing in the sunlight, even if Blaine would have preferred him still in a Dalton about thirty meters of hallway still between them, Blaine began to hum the song the Warblers were planning to come sing for Kurt at McKinley. He was leaving them, but they weren t leaving him. This could be the end of everything He murmured. Please don t leave me, I just found you Kurt! He other boy turned, and smiled nervously. Time for a dramatic farewell? He asked. Here. Blaine thrust the small box at him. We can be with you wherever your decisions take you. You re making the wrong one. It s only a glee club competition, against your life Kurt cracked it open, fingers tightly gripping the slightly damp velvet. Oh, it s absolutely beautiful You guys didn t have to pay for this! A white gold ring sat nestled in the case with every Warbler s name engraved on chuckled. Actually, we took it out of the Warbler s budget. We re a fairly overfunded club. Wish New Directions had that problem. Kurt with that, the situation was tense again. New Directions was the awkward elephant in the room and that Kurt had decided that Nationals in New York were worth deserting the safety of Blaine and McKinley. Could I come too? The possibility of leaving Dalton for Kurt and Nationals had never occurred to Blaine it had always been Kurt coming and going. But really, why shouldn t he make the switch and follow his heart?Suddenly he grinned. See you soon, Kurt. He sprinted away, leaving his boyfriend bewildered and shocked. No dramatic kiss? Kurt called after him.* * *The Warblers strolled onto the McKinley campus as a pack. This is the last time I ll ever wear the uniform Blaine raised his chin. He was achingly aware of everything he was leaving, but he only had chances like this once. He would never be able to follow his boyfriend from high school to high school again. Besides, he knew that Kurt would love the surprise and need the extra protection from he opened his mouth to sing the first words of Somewhere Only we Know, his final solo with the Warblers, Blaine knew he was truly in love.
