Chapter Two

Blaine went at Lunch; he couldn't be bothered with the dullness of school. Kurt always added a splash of colour wherever he went; McKinley was no exception to the rule. Blaine never answered Kurt's text, or Rachel's, or Arties, he spent the rest of the day lay on his bed thinking, and most likely sleeping. He spent most afternoons like that, mainly catching up on the sleep he lost the prior night. It was around 7:30pm when Blaine woke up again. He checked his phone – '8 Missed Calls, Hummel, Kurt. 9 Missed Calls, Berry, Rachel'. Blaine chuckled to himself; he had always wondered would have happened if he chose Rachel over Kurt. He knew he loved Kurt, but it wasn't to bad to just consider it? Surely not. He doubted it would ever work; Rachel was too big of a person for Blaine. He needed someone cool and sarcastic, God knows how Kurt and Blaine have stayed together this long truly is a miracle, a wonderful miracle.

Blaine decided to call Kurt, why not? He wasn't succeeding with the cutting ties method wasn't really working.

"BLAINE! Oh gosh, I thought you hated me! Hi!" Kurt screamed.

"Kurt! I could never hate you!" Blaine winced, "I was just really tired, that's all."

"Why? Were you up late doing school work, how is school?" Kurt replied, all in one breath.

"No," Sighed Blaine, "Just a nightmare, how are you?"

"I'm fab, now about this nightmare!" Kurt said, missing Blaine's attempted topic change.

"It was nothing, I can barely even remember it." Blaine lied.

"Science says you can remember nightmares more than dreams, so, spill it!"

"Kurt, it's fine, nothing out of the usual!"

"Nothing out of the usual? Blaine have you had many of these!" Kurt blurted out.

"No, no, no, no! Just one every few days or so.-"

"What? Blaine why didn't you tell me? DO you need me to come home?" Kurt sighed.

The truth was yes. Blaine wanted Kurt there, the hug him, kiss him on the brow and tell him it's okay. He wanted Kurt to be lay on his bed, babbling about Barbra or whining about Whitney. But no, Kurt just had to be in New fucking York.

"No, no you don't have to come, I'm fine without you." Blaine growled.

Kurt paused.

"Oh, Blaine, are you okay?" Kurt whimpered, as if he were bursting into tears.

"Yes. I'm fucking fabulous." Blaine snapped as he slammed the phone down.

Another week at McKinley passed. A 'new' topic in Glee club, 'Change.' Fantastic. On Tuesday, new members were auditioned, all of whom, bar one or two, were admittedly dire and in need of a tuner, but still they were accepted as the 'fresh meat'. Blaine didn't quite catch their names, he knew one for certain was a sweet girl named Hannah. A fantastic voice, though slightly overshadowed that everyday she wore a different colour and wig to suit each Disney Princess. However as the weeks dragged by at McKinley, the colours and wigs faded in to ribbons and bracelets, though still very noticeable. There were three new members of the 'New, New Directions.', one of which was Hannah. The two others were a bratty cheerleader named Becky, who was obviously only in there for the sparkly dresses, and a guy named Lawrence, who obviously was in it for the same reason. The week went by, and all produced a different song. On Monday, Tina sung 'Black Roses Red, by Alana Grace' a nice song, though not Blaine's cup of tea. On Tuesday Sugar and Rory sung the song 'Don't Go Breaking my Heart'. God knows how that was in the context of 'Change' but it seemed to pass well with Mr. Schue, then again, everything passed with Mr. Schue. It was on Wednesday when Blaine left early, making an excuse for a suit fitting. Sam announced he was starting up the Justin Bieber act yet again for any newcomers of 'New, New, Directions' if they'd be so dumb…kind enough to join.

Blaine hadn't spoken to Kurt in two days, a new personal record. He decided he'd wait for Kurt to call him. Instead Blaine texted Sebastian, who almost immediately texted back. Every time Blaine was failed by Kurt, he would immediately text Sebastian, or meet for coffee, or lunch, or dinner, what ever worked best at the time. Sebastian was fun to be around, he was calmer than Kurt, more sharp edged and quick. He didn't spend all their time together talking about ill-stocked sheet music or broaches from foreign countries that Blaine swore didn't exist. It was a nice change from the norm. "Maybe there's a song somewhere in this?" Thought Blaine, though he really couldn't care less.

Blaine skipped Glee club on Thursday, he had a World History test which was more important than Becky's first big fantastic entrance into the chorus of Glee club. He spent the entirety of lunch in the library trying to read up on the Mongles whilst waiting for Sebastian to text him back. Instead he received a text from Kurt. Blaine mentally slapped him for being disappointed at it. It read, "Hi stranger!x" Blaine was about to reply, when a text from Sebastian dragged him away. He never replied to Kurt, he'll just talk to him later.

"Come visit the homeland sometime Blaine, yes?xx" – Received from Seb.

"Yeah I'd love too! When are you next free?xxxx" – Sent to Seb.

"Tomorrow? We haven't seen each other in ages!xx" – Received from Seb.

"I'll be there!xxx" – Sent to Seb.

"You better be Hon'!xxx" – Received from Seb.

Blaine threw his phone between his hands in excitement, it had been ages since he'd been back, but it was definitely the homeland. He still had his old uniform somewhere, maybe it's a sign, change is the topic at McKinley, maybe it's not such a bad topic after all…
