Going to McKinley
Blaine woke up to the sound of his alarm playing Teenage Dream by Katy Perry. The Dalton Show Choir was all he'd been able to think about for months- o wait a minute, that's right, he couldn't worry about it anymore. Last night his parents had come to visit him at Dalton and told him that his Dad had made a bad investment, they were now poor and his dad would have to take a small business job in Lima, Ohio. Also, effective after Thanksgiving break, Blaine would no longer be able to attend Dalton, but would be enrolled at McKinley High. The only plus side to the situation was that Kurt went to McKinley, so now Blaine would get to see him more often.
Speaking of Kurt, Blaine still hadn't told him the news. Blaine was unbelievably excited to get to spend more time with the beautiful man with the adorable baby-face who had shown true courage in the last few months by dealing with all of the bullying he endured, but how would Kurt feel? Kurt had a life there with friends and their Glee club, would Kurt be annoyed to have his two lives mixed? Would he even want to spend more time with Blaine?
Only one way to find out, Blaine thought as he pulled out his phone and texted Kurt, "Hey wanna go get cofe?" Blaine sent the message than got out of bed and headed to his bathroom to take a shower. While the water was warming up his phone buzzed, and he practically ran to see the text. Sure enough it was from Kurt.
"Sure sounds great! The usual Starbucks?" Blaine was relieved that Kurt didn't have plans, he wanted to tell him in person, and since today was Sunday, it was really the only time he could tell him before school tomorrow.
"Ya, I hav somthin important 2 tell u." Blaine figured he might as well give him a little hint so that Kurt wouldn't be completely blindsided like he'd been. With that, Blaine snapped his phone shut and went to get ready for his not-really-a-date with Kurt.
Kurt was Ecstatic! He was going to get coffee with Blaine for the fourth time this week! They had also gone and seen movies together, gotten lunch and Blaine had even come to his house for Thanksgiving after celebrating with his family. Kurt was glad for all of the time they had spent together; he was absolutely in love with him. Sadly, he thought that Blaine just wanted to be friends, and after past experiences with certain crushes, he was NOT about to make the first move.
Blaine's last text had left him a little nervous though, he said he had something to talk about. Had Kurt been too obvious? He was trying so hard to seem casual about everything, maybe Wes or Dave had noticed and warned Blaine.
Kurt took a deep breath as he pulled into the Starbucks parking lot. Here it goes he thought.
Blaine sat at their favorite table in Starbucks with his drink and Kurt's favorite, low-fat white chocolate peppermint mocha. Kurt walked in and Blaine waved him over. He handed Kurt his drink as he sat down. "I got you your favorite," Blaine said lamely, could he sound more cliché? "I love the coat!" Blaine exclaimed, noticing the fashionable new coat Kurt wore, and how adorable he looked in it.
"Thanks!" Kurt exclaimed! His whole face lit up from Blaine's compliment. "So what did you want to talk about?" Kurt asked, cutting right to the point.
Blaine took one last deep breath, quieting the butterflies in his stomach, then he began, "My dad lost an investment, we have to move to Lima and I'm starting at McKinley tomorrow." Blaine spat it out so quickly he surprised himself, when he finally looked up at Kurt, he found his whole face was in shock. "Are you going to say something, or just keep sitting there with your mouth open like a tuna." Blaine said after what felt like hours of silence.
"I am so sorry," Kurt finally said, "Are you okay?"
"Why wouldn't I be? I can help you with Kerofskey now and see the school and all the people you constantly complain about. No use crying over spilled milk." Blaine replied with a smile on his face, which was the only thing that could help him through sometimes was smiling things off. "So, are you happy about me coming?" Blaine ventured, his flirty tone coming off a little stronger than he meant for it to.
"Ecstatic!" Kurt exclaimed, his whole face lit up like a light bulb. Maybe going to McKinley wouldn't be so bad afterall.
