Chapter 7: New York
The next morning, as Robert, Ellie, and Shane came back home, they made sure to make a lot of noise to let the boys know they were home. What they saw, was not what they expected.
"Blaine!" They heard Kurt shriek from the kitchen.
The three rounded the corner to the kitchen, to see Kurt, with egg dripping from his hair, and Blaine standing there, a hand in front of his mouth.
"What's going on?" Robert asked, amused.
Kurt and Blaine both jumped, whirling around to face them. "Dad! You have to let us know you are there." Blaine told him. "And to answer your question, Kurt and I are making breakfast."
"Ahm." Kurt cleared his throat, hand on his hip.
Blaine smiled sheepishly. "Kurt was making breakfast, and I was making a mess."
"Save some for me." Robert said, shaking his head and leaving the kitchen. "And make sure all your belongings are in order, we're leaving in an hour."
Shane shook his head at his brother and his brother's fiancé. "You two are ridiculous."
Blaine looked at his brother with worry. "Shane, are you sure you're going to be okay? Reed, Kurt, and I are leaving for New York today."
Shane sighed. "I'm going to miss you all like crazy. Not just you, Wes, David, the twins, everyone. But, I'll be there in a year, and I at least have Dwight."
Blaine wrapped Shane in a hug. "You know I will always love you right? Even if I'm in New York?"
Shane nodded. "I know. And I'll make sure to FaceTime you. Now get ready, you are leaving in an hour." He said, grinning.
An hour later, the whole group was ready and leaving for the airport.
"I can't believe you are finally leaving Kurt." Burt said to him in the car.
"We all knew this day would come." Kurt assured his father. "I'm going to miss you though."
"I will too." Burt said, smiling at his son in the rearview mirror. "But you have Blaine and Reed, you will be fine. You'll going to do great things in New York, Kurt."
Kurt reached over and hugged his father goodbye one last time, before jumping out of the car and joining Blaine and Reed on the sidewalk. Kurt looked back at his dad in the car, one last time, before entering the airport.
Blaine smiled at him. "We're really heading to New York, aren't we?"
Kurt took the hands of his best friend and fiancé as they headed towards security. "We really are."
Three hours later, the plane touched down in New York. Kurt bounced around, looking at JFK airport in wonder. Blaine chuckled at his over enthusiastic fiancé. "Someone's excited."
Kurt turned around and stuck his tongue out at Blaine. "I can't help but be excited. We're in New York, the city of my dreams. The city where I can hold your hand and kiss you in public, and no one would bat an eye."
Blaine took Kurt's hand, and the three of them headed towards baggage claim. "Let's go find apartments."
It took the group of them a week, but they finally found apartments close to NYU. Reed was just down the hall from Kurt and Blaine, in a one bedroom, one bathroom apartment, while Kurt and Blaine had a two bedroom, two bathroom apartment.
Blaine smiled as he carried the last of their boxes into the new apartment. "We finally did it Kurt. We have a place to call our own."
Kurt spun around and put his arms around Blaine's shoulders. "It's a little different from our dorm at Dalton."
"It is." Blaine agreed, leaning in to give Kurt a kiss. "But I wouldn't have it any other way."
"Quit being lovey dovey." Reed said, sticking his head through the doorway. "And come on. Everyone is waiting to go to dinner."
"It's kinda like Dalton all over again." Kurt said, as they walked to dinner. "We have our own apartment, everyone is in New York together, and we are heading to dinner just like old times."
Reed watched Kurt and Blaine sadly, wishing Shane was there. "It's okay Reed." Kurt assured his best friend. "Only one more year, and then Shane will be here, and you will never have to be separated again."
"I know." Reed told him. "And I don't mean to be so depressing, but watching you two just reminds me of my own soulmate back in Ohio."
"And Shane would be here if he could." Blaine told him. "But sadly, he has to finish high school."
"Come on guys." Kurt said, running ahead. "I can see the other Windsors."
The first year at New York was full of new opportunities for all the boys. Kurt and Blaine enjoyed being fiancés in their own apartment, and all the benefits that brought. Reed counted down the days till Shane would be able to join him in New York. Katherine and David enjoyed living together, married, for the first time. Kurt was happy to be able to see Wes, David, Katherine, Ethan, Evan, Reed, and Blaine at NYU all the time, bringing back memories from Dalton.
Suddenly, it was the fall of their sophomore year at NYU.
"Do you think we should get roommates?" Kurt asked Blaine, one morning in the fall. "We have the spare room, and we could use help paying for the rent. We aren't planning on getting married till after college, and that's two years away, so they wouldn't be living with a married couple."
"I think that's a great idea." Blaine said, wrapping his arms around Kurt's waist. "I'll put in an ad in the newspaper."
"What about this one?" Rachel asked her best friend and roommate, Santana.
The two girls had both moved to New York after graduation, and being the only ones they knew in the big city, became fast friends, putting their high school rivalry aside. Now, it was their sophomore year at NYADA, and they were looking for an apartment.
"It looks promising." Santana said, leaning over Rachel's shoulder to look at the ad. "It's close to NYADA and they aren't asking for much."
"Let's do it." Rachel said, filing out the information. "My only concern is that it's two guys."
"I'm sure it will be fine." Santana said, waving it off. "Maybe they're gay?"
"Don't get your hopes up."
