I'm so sorry this is so late! I was on vacation and didn't have internet access. This chapter is pretty short but the stories almost finished so I'll update pretty quick. Enjoy :)

Things with Blaine were going incredibly well over the past few weeks. After Blaine won his math competition, they became closer, meeting for lunch every day, studying for classes, and rehearsing for the play together. Rachel had met and taken a liking to Blaine as well. He was over at their apartment constantly having movie nights or Kurt teaching Blaine how to cook. It had been exactly one week since the competition and every second that passed by, Kurt felt guiltier and guiltier. Just because they were comfortable with each other in person didn't mean that Kurt was confident enough to let Blaine know that he was his online friend. They kept talking online and maintained their friendship conversing about mundane things like the latest TV shows they were indulging in, or the latest gossip at school. Kurt had to pretend not to know about a lot of the things Blaine was saying and therefore ended up having very little to say to online Blaine. As a result their conversations became incredibly short and one sided with Blaine doing most of the talking. This made Kurt nervous but then Blaine would call Kurt every night and they'd end up talking. He started to wonder how best to approach this awkward bump in their friendship without scaring Blaine away.

It was one night while watching a re-run of I Love Lucy and eating leftover Chinese food on the couch that Kurt came up with a plan. Maybe he could just phase out Fashionista8 out of Blaine's life. That way Blaine would have only real life Kurt in his life and he could finally get the courage to ask Blaine out on a real date. He turned off the TV and went to his room with his food turning on his laptop. This would work. Blaine would probably call Kurt about the sudden lack of communication between the Warbler and Fashionista pretty soon and Kurt didn't really know what to say. They hardly ever talked about Blaine's online friend anymore. Mostly because Blaine stopped talking about it. This was good news to Kurt. It meant that Blaine was liking real Kurt more and more.

Fashionista8

Hey, are you online?

Warbler15

Of course, always. What's up?

Fashionista8

We need to talk.

Warbler15

Uh-oh, am I in trouble for something?

Fashionista8

Haha, no but I do need to talk to you. I love our friendship and how we can always talk to each other about anything. One of my favorite things is telling you about my day and hearing about yours. Which is why this sucks so much. I don't think I can talk to you on here anymore. It's nothing about you, it's my own personal thing. But you can message me about anything, ANYTHING, if you ever need to talk. I'll miss you but this is for the better. I'm sorry.

Kurt knew it sounded lame. He had this whole speech prepared in his mind but this was all he could think of in that moment.

Warbler15

…..I don't get it. What happened?

Fashionista8

I can't explain really but I won't be online anymore. I can't.

Warbler15

Let's meet.

Kurt starred at the two words for a good twenty minutes. Meet up with Blaine? What would he think? What if he thought Kurt was playing some weird practical joke? Kurt was pretty sure he was in love with Blaine now and if Blaine decided to not have anything to do with Kurt, well that might just break his heart. He hadn't typed anything yet and neither had Blaine. Apparently he really was going to wait for an answer.

Kurt got out a paper and made a pros and cons list. Then he just stared at the paper for five minutes before putting it back in his folder. He then went into Rachel's room and found her Magic 8 Ball. Should I meet up with Blaine? He closed his eyes before turning it over and saw 'ask again later.' Damn! Kurt ran back into his room and made a paper fortune teller. Should I meet up with Blaine? On every other side he had written a simple yes or no. This was it. It was literally up to fate now. Whatever the fortune said, Kurt would do.

He counted to 8 and then to 15. He opened the paper with shaking fingers and read: No.

No. The word kept repeating itself in his head for another five minutes. Kurt then felt a heavy ache in his chest. He wanted Blaine to know the truth. But he also really wanted Blaine to like him. If by some miracle Blaine did say yes to Kurt, they couldn't start their relationship out with a lie. It already was a lie! Every time they talked or hung out together, Kurt was keeping a secret. But fate had spoken.

Fashionista8

When?

Kurt typed so fast and hit send before he could even think it over. He didn't even believe in fate. All he knew was that he felt his stomach twist and his heart fall when he saw that simple 'No.' Meeting would be the right thing to do. Blaine could make his decision on how he felt about Kurt and whatever Blaine decided, Kurt was going to have to be okay with that.

Warbler15

Tomorrow. I'm in the school play and we're hosting a sort of end of finals celebration by putting on a preview performance of West Side Story. I won't tell you what character I'm playing, maybe you can guess it ;) After the play, meet me by the backstage door.

Kurt had completely forgotten that they were performing. Between constantly hanging out with Blaine and finishing his finals, he hadn't really had time to think about the performance. It was just a run through with the cast and a few family members. He hadn't even invited his dad for this. It was free and open to anyone who wanted to be there.

Fashionista8

I'll be there.

He couldn't really offer more of an explanation than that so he just signed off.

The next day, Kurt was walking toward the auditorium and stopped when he noticed Blaine. He was standing on the stage looking at the script. He was already in his uniform and his eyebrows were furrowed in deep concentration. Kurt had felt nervous all last night having barely slept and this morning went by in a haze. But right in that moment, when he saw Blaine, it all went away. He felt nothing but relaxed and calm. Even a bit excited? He wanted the lies to be over and he wanted to confess. Whatever Blaine decided to do was out of his control. Kurt would only continue to hope that Blaine would give him a chance.

"Kurt!" Blaine was staring at Kurt with a wide smile and sparkling eyes. "Are you ready?"

"Yeah. I'm really excited about it!" He tried to show just as much enthusiasm but was failing.

Blaine looked at him questioningly. "Yeah. Even though no one ever shows up for this. But I'm really hoping one person does show up."

Kurt dropped his eyes and sarcastically asked, "Your mom?"

Blaine laughed. "No. My friend is coming."

Kurt still refused to meet Blaine's eyes. "Your internet friend?"

"The very one."

"So you guys are meeting up for the first time then?"

"Yup. He's very excited."

Kurt looked up into Blaine's eyes. Was he delusional? Their conversation last night was not at all excitement on Kurt's part. If anything, it had been short and awkward. Maybe he was just trying to not seem pathetic in front of Kurt or something.

"That's great, I'm sure you guys will be great together."

"I'm positive we will. But don't worry Kurt, you're still my best friend." Blaine put a hand on Kurt's shoulder and smiled at him.

Kurt felt something twist in his stomach and opened his mouth to reply but was interrupted by the director telling them to get into place.

The play was a success and there were only a few errors here and there. Blaine had been flawless. Kurt had messed up a dance move but it wasn't noticeable. Overall, it was phenomenal. But Kurt didn't care. It was now the moment of truth. Blaine had already left to the dressing room to change and Kurt was supposed to meet him in two minutes for they could officially meet. He was suddenly very nervous and started sweating. A million thoughts were running through his head. But in the end, he just pictured beautiful Blaine and his wide smile and sparkling eyes. Those eyes are what gave Kurt courage to stand in front of the backstage door. He took in a deep breath and slowly exhaled. The door handle started to turn slowly and Kurt's heart started pounding in his chest. The door opened to reveal…a bouquet of roses. Kurt stared at them wide eyed. The man holding the flowers lowered the flowers to reveal his face.
