Sorry for the delay! I know I've been slacking with all my stories lately! I promise I'm going to try to get better at it! But here is chapter two! I hope you enjoy :)

Chapter two

August is here and classes are starting up again. Blaine checks his schedule for the twentieth time to make sure he was heading in the right direction. The science building. Right. Blaine didn't mind science. He actually quite enjoyed it. It's been about three months since Kurt broke up with him. He still cried himself to sleep some nights but it was getting better. He missed the familiarity that came with Kurt. With Kurt he could talk about their days at Dalton or at McKinley. Any of his other friends here couldn't join in the conversation. They could only listen to Blaine tell the stories. He's talked to Kurt a few times and they've even met up since the break up. But each time they meet, Blaine finds it harder and harder to say goodbye at the end. He just wants to take Kurt back with him to the apartment and fall asleep holding Kurt in his arms. It's moments like today, starting a new year at school, he really misses the guys from Dalton. Wes already graduated from Harvard and is beginning law school. But there's still David, Sebastian, Thad, Jeff, Nick- Wait, Nick? Is that Nick? Blaine eyes widen, almost positive he's seeing one of his high school best friends. He's pretty far away so Blaine moves in to get a closer look. It is Nick!

"Nick! Nick!" Blaine calls, still moving closer to him. Nick looks around with a confused look on his face. Who could possible already know his name here? Then again, it is a common name. Nick keeps walking, figuring it had to be someone else. Blaine breaks into a jog towards Nick, not caring it's in the opposite direction of his class. Blaine finally catches up to him and taps him on the shoulder. Nick turns around and an immediate grin spreads across his face.

"Blaine?" Nick pulls him into a hug, "I completely forgot that you go here! I haven't talked to you in years!"

"I know man, I missed you!" Blaine hugs back enthusiastically.

"We have to catch up sometime, dude," Nick says, finally pulling back.

"Yeah, we do! What's your first class?" Blaine says, discreetly checking out the slightly taller boy.

"I have economics in fifteen minutes. What about you?" Nick says, not even noticing Blaine's wandering eyes.

"I have biology in..." Blaine checks his watch, "two minutes."

"Maybe you should go..." Nick chuckles. Blaine smiles.

"Yeah, maybe. Um, I'll meet you by the fountain at noon?" Blaine asks hopefully.

"Yeah, most definetly. I'll see you then," Nick smiles and waves goodbye to Blaine. Blaine waves in return and turns back in the direction of his class. Someone from Dalton was here. In college with him. And not just someone. Nick was probably his best friend back at Dalton. Words couldn't describe how happy Blaine was at the moment. He couldn't remember being this happy in months.

Nick walked to his class with a smile on his face. He thought he'd have to start all over at making friends here, and to be honest, a part of Nick liked that. Liked the concept of starting over where no one knew him. But he couldn't shake the feeling of missing the comfort of Jeff and their history together. But now he's found Blaine who he has almost just as long of a history with. Blaine, his best friend from high school besides Jeff. Nick had a good feeling about his senior year of college.

Blaine walked into his class late and tried to keep hidden as he made his way to an empty seat. Unfortunately, the professor noticed and gave Blaine and ungrateful look. Blaine shrugged it off and pulled out his notebook. He pulled out his phone as well, dying to text somebody about running into Nick. He could text Kurt? No, they're not back to that sort of relationship yet. He could text his friend Jack? No, he wouldn't care, he doesn't know Nick. Well, what about Jeff? Wait, Jeff...Nick's boyfriend. Does that mean Jeff is here too? He had heard Jeff applied along with Nick for freshman year but that he wasn't accepted. He remembered being disappointed that his two high school best friends were so close to coming to college with him but weren't. Maybe they both reapplied again and both got in? Yeah, that could be. Blaine knew who he could text. Someone back in Ohio who he could always count on to give him the scoop.

'Hey, Seb! Long time no speak! -B'

'Hey, Blaine! Good to hear from you, man! How's college life treating you? -S'

'It's pretty good! How about yours? -B'

'Definitely can't complain. Going to an all-male college has its advantages ;) -S'

'I'm still baffled at how you're headed towards valedictorian when all you can think about is how hot your roommate is! -B'

'You've met him, he is hot! Oh, and he says hi! -S'

'Yes, yes, he's hot... Hi Mark! -B'

'Yes, very hot! I took him on a date last night ;) -S'

'He finally caved? -B'

'Yes, finally! And the best part was, at the end of the night he was coming back to my place anyway! :D -S'

'You are sly, Smythe. -B'

'Don't forget sexy! -S'

'Oh, how dare I? -B'

'I don't know! Sorry if I'm a bit slow on replies...Mark's trying to tease me now. Apparently he didn't get enough last night. -S'

'Oh, who can get ever get enough of Sebastian Smythe? :P -B'

'Apparently, you! -S'

'That was high school, I had Kurt! -B'

'Wait...had? -S'

'Yeah...had. He broke up with me a few months back... -B'

'Wow, Blaine, I'm really sorry to hear that. -S'

'Yeah, I'm sorry to say it... -B'

'It seems like everyone from high school is breaking up. You and Kurt, Nick and Jeff... -S'

'Nick and Jeff, really? They seemed so solid. -B'

'Yeah, I know. Nick went to NYU this year since he didn't need to stay in Ohio for Jeff anymore. Maybe you'll see him around. -S'

'I actually have seen him. I was wondering if Jeff came here with him... -B'

'And that's why you texted me! Smooth, Anderson! -S'

'Plus I wanted to talk to you! We haven't spoken in a while. I miss you man! -B'

'Well maybe since there's no more Kurt I can make a special trip up to see you ;) -S'

'Won't Mark be upset by that? :P -B'

'Oh, right. Mark... -S'

'Yeah, him! If I remember correctly you said "He's the first guy I've met since you who I would settle down for!" :P -B'

'Well...yeah. But I've wanted you for so long, he'd understand! -S'

'Lol, good luck with that Smythe... -B'

'Are you saying it'd be a yes if it wasn't for Mark? -S'

'NO! -B'

'Oh crap...he saw my last texts. I'm in trouble. Gotta go, talk to you later! -S

'See ya soon! -B'

Blaine chuckled to himself, suddenly missing his enemy turned best friend.

Nick sat in class, waiting for the professor to start. He pulled out his phone and started looking at all the pictures from high school that he couldn't bring himself to delete. Even if Jeff was in the pictures, he just couldn't do it. He smiled when he came across a picture of himself trying to hold back Sebastian so he didn't punch Kurt straight in the teeth after Kurt insulted his hair. He smiled even wider when he saw a picture that Thad took of Nick and Blaine under a blanket, cuddled up at the annual campfire the Warblers had. It was someone's bright idea to have it in the middle of January so everyone was freezing. Nick remembered falling asleep leaning on Blaine. Normally, Jeff would've gotten mad about that sort of thing but it was okay because it was Blaine. Nick missed these days. Where everyone was carefree and they had so much fun with one another. Now Nick could hang out with Kurt and Blaine just like it was the old days. Wait...were Kurt and Blaine still together? It has been a while since Nick had talked to either of them. But they had to be together. They were perfect for each other. Then again, so were Nick and Jeff. Nick couldn't just randomly text Blaine and ask him if they were still together. Nick would just wait until he met Blaine at the fountain at noon. But Nick knew he couldn't just wait. Oh no, he knows he's much too impatient for that. So he scrolls through his contacts on his phone seeing who he can ask. Blaine? No. David? He's too close to Jeff that it'd be awkward to talk to him right now. Jeff? He could, but no. Kurt? Maybe… Sebastian? Maybe… Thad? He's been in Alaska since the day after they graduated Dalton, he probably wouldn't know. Wes? He's so caught up with law school he has barely spoken to anyone lately. So it's either Kurt or Sebastian. Well, the last time Nick had seen Sebastian he'd been so drunk he kissed Nick and Jeff went all Lima Heights on his ass. Maybe they did need to clear the air though…

'Sebastian! How's it going, bro? –N'

"Hey, Nick! Can't talk right now, getting my ass beat by Mark…and not in a good way… Talk to you later! –S'

'Mark? When did this happen? Text me when you can! We need to catch up! –N'

Nick sighs and goes to Kurt's contact on his phone. He can't just come out and ask so he figures a plan to make it seem casual. It's not brilliant but it should do.

'Kurt! What's up, buddy? –N'

'Hey, Nick! Just getting ready for my matinee performance! How have you been? –K'

'Oh, that's right! I heard you got a part on Broadway! Congratulations! I've been alright, just starting a new school so it's kind of different. –N'

'Thanks, Nick! I really love it, it's the greatest thing that ever happened to me! Just alright? And what school are you starting? Did Jeff come? –K'

'Best thing? I thought that was Blaine? And yeah, just alright. Jeff and I broke up a while back and I'm still kind of in a funk about it. So, no, he's not here with me. I'm actually at NYU right now so we'll definitely need to meet up sometime! And I need to go see your show! –N'

It's not exactly what Nick was going to go with but it worked.

'I'm sorry to hear about your breakup! And actually, Blaine and I broke up as well. It was just hard balancing a career and a relationship. NYU? We need to catch up! Just tell me when you're free and I'll be there! Maybe I can cheer you up so you're not in such a funk! -K'

'I'm sorry to hear about your breakup as well! I actually ran into Blaine this morning. I completely forgot he went here! It was a pleasant surprise to see someone familiar. And how about we catch up over dinner one night before your show and then I can come see it? –N'

'That sounds perfect, Nick! I'd love to! Maybe one night next week? How's Friday sound? And I'm glad you got to see Blaine! He could definitely use a friend from back home. And I'm guessing that you could too! –K'

'Friday is perfect! And I really could use a friend from back home. And I have two in New York! It's perfect, just like the old days. –N'

'Great, I can't wait! Oh, I miss the old days… -K'

'I know, they were great times. So much fun and laughs… -N'

'Maybe we can get that back one day. Call up all the Warblers and think of a place to meet. I'm up for seeing everyone. Except Sebastian… -K'

'That sounds PERFECT! He's actually a lot better now, Kurt. I think you two would get along. –N'

'I don't know if I ever see myself getting along with that man… -K'

'I remember one time you got along with him… ;) –N'

'SHUT UP NICK! It was one hug and a kiss on the cheek and I was drunk! Blaine laughed! Never mention it again! –K'

'My lips are sealed! But the video on my phone is not :) -N'

'NICK! –K'

'Hehe! Sorry, Kurt, gotta go! Class is about ten minutes in and I kinda need to pay attention! –N'

'Fine! But don't forget, next Friday! I'm counting on it! –K'

'I'll be there, I wouldn't miss it for the world! –N'

'Great! See you then :) -K'

'Bye Kurt :) -N'

Nick smiled as he slipped his phone into his pocket. It was nice to talk to Kurt again. He had missed the boy who always tried to force his fashion ways on him because he "had the potential to be stylish". But Blaine was single too. Maybe they could find a way to make each other happy again after this rough patch. That's what best friends are for, aren't they? Well Nick was determined to be happy again. And he hoped Blaine was ready for the same thing.

I hope you enjoyed! I'm thinking maybe for this story I'll do the whole "this is what will happen in the next chapter" things! I may forget on some chapters because if you haven't noticed by now, I don't have the best memory! But anyway...

In the next chapter: Nick and Blaine meet up at the fountain and discuss all that's been going on since they've last seen each other! Stick around to see what happens... :)
