Day 5: Anniversary

Glee Day! And AVPSY day! Well, for me, technically AVPSY releases on a Saturday, but yay! I can't believe that I have to go to college on a day like this!

Unedited by a beta, so let me know if there are any grammatical mistakes.

Disclaimer: I do not own Glee. Happy? I said it! *bursts into tears*

Kurt was bursting at the seams. Blaine kept dropping hints about something special they were gonna do the next day. Tomorrow was their first anniversary and Kurt was looking forward to seeing what was planned. The mood in the general Glee Club was morose since Quinn had gotten into her accident. She was well now, even though she had to use a wheelchair till her spine grew stronger. He wondered if Blaine would go the usual New Direction way and take help from everyone or go his own special way to showcase the day. Kurt had stitched a bowtie in Dalton colours to remind him of the good times he had there, as opposed to the total reversal of their personalities this year.

Finn came home to find Kurt eating a cheesecake, a plastic bag from Breadstix right next to him. He shouted, "You ordered takeaway from Breadstix without asking what I wanted? Kurt!" Kurt just giggled as he continued watching the Notebook and texted Blaine. Finn shook Kurt as he asked, "Reply to me!" Kurt just raised a hand as he got a reply back from Blaine. Finn let the food issue go as he sat down and asked, "What's going on?" Kurt happily replied, "We are watching the Notebook in our respective houses and chatting with each other at the same time. By the way, tomorrow I won't come to work at the garage." On a curious look, he continued, "Tomorrow is our anniversary, and I'm pretty sure Blaine has something brilliant planned for me. Next year, I'll do the planning."

He was so excited for the next day that he ended up having no sleep the whole night. Even though they had school the next day, he ended up not going. His dad excused it this one time, and he had a smirk on his face, knowing that something was up. Kurt decided to let Blaine surprise him, even though he hated surprises. However, what he didn't expect was this.

"Hey Kurt!"

"Hey, sweetie. So what plans do we have for today?"

"Yes, about that. I can finally tell you. I didn't tell you yesterday cuz I didn't want to jinx it. But now that it's happened, I can tell you. Cooper's come home after two years!"

"Yeah, I know, I was waiting for the surpri…wait what? Oh, your brother?"

"I know right! We're all going out for dinner tonight, parents' orders. So our usual coffee date has to be canceled. I'm so sorry, honey. I promise I'll make it up to you this weekend."

"But Blaine…today's our…"

"Hello, Mister Boyfriend of Blainey. You sound brilliant, but I need him to help me with my script. Gotta go. Take care, love!"

Kurt couldn't believe it. He had been looking forward to this day for more than a month. Yeah, he understood how excited Blaine would be to see his brother in person after so long, but forgetting an anniversary was pretty bad. He immediately looked at himself, all well-dressed up, even more so than usual, and he went up to change into his comfort sweatpants. He then went back down to the kitchen and got out his "Cookies and Cream" ice-cream.

He sat down in front of the TV and put on a football game. Two minutes later, Burt came and sat next to him. He quietly said, "You only put football on when you want me to be there, but I'm not. Tell me what happened." Kurt murmured, "I had my mind set on all the anniversaries you told me about that you and Mom had. And now, I'm celebrating my first anniversary at home, with a pint of ice-cream while my boyfriend goes out with his family because he totally forgot about it." He slowly started sobbing and Burt immediately turned him towards his shoulder and half hugged him. Burt said, "Don't worry. We won't let this go to a waste. You go dress up in that fancy clothes I pay a ton of money for, and you and I can go to that Indian place. Not Breadstix where you and your friends always go. Okay? We'll have fun."

Kurt wasn't in the mood to go out with his Dad, but he was trying. He nodded and hugged his Dad before he went up to change. He saw the suit he had decided to wear before and thought of whether he wanted to wear it or save it for another special occasion with Blaine. He then got angry and thought, He's the one who forgot. I'll dress up, even if it is for my Dad. Blaine can go without talking to me for a week or so. He dressed up, styled his hair into his usual coif as he sprayed it into place and looked at himself in the full-length mirror. He knew he looked super-hot, even though he didn't admit it to himself most of the time. He walked down to see his Dad wearing the shirt he had bought him for his birthday but still wore his loose jeans. Kurt decided to let it go, seeing how smart his Dad looked in the shirt in itself.

Kurt drove to the restaurant and as they parked, Burt told him to wait outside. Kurt looked in at the glass entrance door as Burt spoke to the lady at the podium. He didn't know his Dad would make an appointment, but then again, he had become a Congressman. He then came outside, hugged Kurt and told, "He's waiting inside for you. Go get 'im!" Kurt was flabbergasted. Here he was, depressed at the fact that his boyfriend forgot their anniversary and Dad was setting him up with Blaine, or some other guy? He tried to ask his Dad, who made a notion of zipping up his lips and got back into the car.

He walked into the restaurant and the lady directed him to a table at the back. Blaine was there, with the little amount of gel Kurt had always advised him to use. He stood with his hands out, asking for mercy. Kurt came to a stop right in front of Blaine and frowned, his hands folded in front of him. He asked, "Why? You know I cried my eyes out thinking you forgot our anniversary?" Blaine looked around and asked him to sit down at their table first. He then said, "You wouldn't believe me if I told you." Kurt just tapped his foot, saying, "I'm waiting." Blaine continued, "I had this whole plan set up. We go to a fancy restaurant, afterwards go to this one place my Dad told me about, and then come back to your place for a movie. However, the fancy restaurant turned out to be really selective, and I was floundering without a plan. I didn't want you to see how useless I was."

Kurt finally understood the whole problem and said, "Why, Blaine? You know I didn't need you to go all out to make our anniversary special. We could have done anything, even stayed in and seen a movie." Blaine shrugged and said, "Anyway, if you still want, we can finish up here and then go stargazing, maybe?" Kurt just nodded as he held Blaine's hand across the table.
