Chapter 6 – Routine

The day passed really fast. I focused a lot on the classes that I had, was with the homework in day, and had the usual lunch that I always had with my friends. Everything was just as the usual routine. Nothing had changed. Except that actually had.

I was feeling different that Monday. It looked like the world was different. I felt happier, even at the sad moments. When that bully of the soccer team went to slushy us, I didn't care. Of course, I was used to getting slushies but they always gave me headaches, dirtied my clothes and they were really, really cold. But that one? Didn't even hurt. I was just fine. It didn't matter. I cleaned myself and went back to the routine. I'll admit that I thought a lot in Blaine. But when didn't I? Perfection must be remembered.

Anyway, something weird happened later. I was sitting next to Blaine on Glee Club, participating of the talk the guys were having until Mr. Schue get in there. He told Finn hit the drummers, came running in to the choir room, wrote on the board "Marry Me" and then gave the news: he was going to propose Emma.

That was like a hit on me. Wait. What do you mean with you're gonna propose her? No no no, I'm getting married, not you. I'll do this first, I got that first. You won't win this. Of course. Blaine and I showed to be happy, but I'm almost sure he thought the same I did. But the worst: they had already won. We couldn't get married in Ohio, gay marriage is forbidden there. So, we would have to wait until we got in New York. But Blaine was a year younger than me; he would have to wait at least one more year to leave Lima. And anything can happen in a year. We would have to be strong.

Will asked us to think about an epic way to propose Emma. We could use music, dance, a dinner, clichés, anything. But it had to be perfect. Even though I had the most perfect proposal from the most perfect person in the world, I could help him with the most second proposal. Wouldn't be that bad. He always helped us, we could help us too. But the ring. He had to choose a good ring. If he picked one made of candies… Well, I don't think he would be that stupid. So, I accepted. Or at least didn't contradict.

I spent Monday noon alone. Blaine went with the guys to show the idea of showing Emma his hips and how they looked like Mick Jagger's. They called me too but I didn't want to go. First, I knew it wouldn't be of any use, it was just a stupid idea to show the hot side of Mr. Schue, but he and Mrs. Pillsbury didn't even had sex together. And they still thought that was a good idea.

So I went home and stayed practicing my cooking. Blaine would come to dine that Friday and had been weeks I wanted to make this delicious plate I saw on Top Chef. It was called "Paella à Valenciana". A mix of sea fruits with rice and some vegetables. It looked like delicious, but I still was learning how to do it. Since no one would be home soon, I took that time to practice.

Rachel called me to present the music "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" to Mr. Schue. Again, I refused. That music was stupid, because even that people sort of fall in love for someone even though they never saw each other, it doesn't mean you knew since the beginning you both would be together. And seriously? Not even Rachel, Santana, Mercedes or Tina had passed for that. Actually, at first, Tina stayed with Mike because of his biceps, Sam took a year to have a "summer love" with Mercedes, Rachel was maltreated by Finn and Quinn and Santana used Brittany when she didn't have anyone to make out with. And remembering the fact that Will wasn't all love with Emma since the beginning. He barely talked to her when they met. If there was a song that represented the lie they lived, well, that was the song.

Also, Finn helped Will to buy the engagement ring in Tuesday. The girls sang the song in Wednesday. And we found out in the same day that Artie had gone out with Becky. It sounded weird at first. And at second. But it didn't matter. Wasn't of my business, neither of anyone in Glee Club. But what did they do? They butted in, which made Artie get mad at us. That would pass, but still, was stupid what they did. And my father and Carole got home fighting because Finn wanted to be a soldier. That would be something they would discuss later with him, but at first they would just fight with each other. How smart that.

I went with Rachel and Finn in Breadsticks Thursday noon. We were all depressed. Actually, I was more depressed because Rachel made me. She started talking about NYADA and how it would be super hard to even get the audition, that we wouldn't even pass and she would spent the rest of her life in Ohio working at Lima Bean with a horrible payment, killing herself to pay the bills of the month. Yes, I think I got a bit depressed.

We started to discuss about future. Finn started:

"I know why my dreams never come true. I have loser DNA."

"I want to feel sorry about myself too. I have the same chances to get in to NYADA as the same as being Stanley in "A Street Called Sin"." I said.

To make things worse, Rachel came up with this:

"They sent the letters to the finalists of NYADA today and I already saw on the internet that there are people who received it."

"Have you got one?" Finn asked (as a fool)

"No and I'm not even going to. Figgins included the suspension on my file"

There was a small pause on the table until I said, already down:

"Screw this. I'm gonna get a cheesecake. The future used to be such an abstract idea. The dream was enough, you know? And now the future has the nerve to show up and is expecting us to do something and is not interested in giving a hand…"

Rachel expressed her fear. She thought the world would care about us. Sure. Just as the world cares about the poor and the peace. I tried to get her and Finn cheesecakes too. Gosh, the waitress just didn't show up!

We stayed there for a couple of hours and went home. Tired, I went straight to my bed and slept.

Screw homework.

Next day, Rachel sang the song "Without You". It was beautiful, but she totally blew it up by kissing Finn in the end. Seriously? Did they need that?

After all, Will didn't pick any of the songs that were putted to him to choose. Until Sam come up with the idea of singing "We Found Love", of Rihanna, in the pool, with the help of the synchronized swimming team. It was great actually. I didn't get in a pool had been a good time.

Emma said yes, as we knew she would, bla bla bla. Let me skip to the important part. The dinner at night, which was awesome.

My "Paella à Valenciana" got wonderful. They all loved it. They all repeated too. I have to admit, I did that too. It was really, really great. Carole had made the dessert: a chocolate soufflé with strawberries. It was great too.

After diner, we played a board game: Trivia Pursuit. Who won? Me, the incredible Kurt Hummel. Just kidding. Carole was the winner, but I needed just one more piece to get the 1st place. Many times I looked at Blaine to see if he was comfortable. Yes, he had gone to my place a few times, but still, he may not get as comfortable as I got. That wasn't his family. Although that, he felt like home. Like a real home, not his house where he didn't use to even talk much with his parents. I was happy he felt that.

After the game, we watched a movie. As it went through the scenes, people left. First was my dad. Then, Finn. After, Carole. So, Blaine and I got alone. In a couch. Could I avoid that? No. We definitely started to make out. Between kisses, we started to talk.

"Your plate was wonderful. What did you put in there?"

"My dick?"

"So is that tasting as good as that plate? Damn, I need to prove it." He started to go down on me, but I stopped him.

"Blaine. My parents are home. Finn is home. And we are in the living room. Sorry. Unless this house is empty, I won't let you suck me in the living room."

"Fine. But it was really good. The plate. You too." He smiled and I replied.

"I was just practicing to when we get married. If I don't cook for you, or you'll starve and die, or you'll get obese. You need me."

"Why would I get obese?"

"Chinese food. There's lots of that in New York. Especially delivery food."

"Oh. Well, remember me to get you a wonderful stove. You'll need it. Blaine gets really hungry."

"We'll buy a huge stove so I can make you a huge meal. Is that a deal?"

"Sure. And by the way, changing the subject, this necklace with the ring I gave to you makes you really hot."

"I'll remember that"

We went back to make out. But something we didn't know and found out later was that Carole was standing on the start of the stairs while we talked. She only came back to get a tea and heard a talk she wasn't supposed to. She went there only to get a tea.

Guys, seriously, sorry for taking too long to updated it. I got sick this week, was indisposed and couldn't finish yesterday. But I hope you like this chapter.

Bye =)
