Song: Red – Taylor Swift
Date: 03.10.12
A/N: I *could've* listened to this song beforehand and found out what it was about and wrote a drabble on that, but instead I'm just going to go by the title because I'm lazy.
"What about this colour?" Blaine asked, passing a colour sample to Kurt, who was squinting at the dozens of paint cans stacked on the shelves.
"Too dark," Kurt replied without really looking at the colour, instead swatting it away with his hand. Blaine put the sample back and picked up another one; the same colour but a lighter shade.
"What about this one?"
"Too light," Kurt said again and Blaine sighed, replacing the colour. There was only one shade in between the two colours Kurt had already dismissed, so he picked it up and held it under Kurt's nose. He thought he might have been onto something, because Kurt stared at it for several seconds.
"You like it?" Blaine asked hopefully.
"It's a bit too…" Kurt paused to find the right word. "Red."
"Too red?" Blaine clarified, finding it hard to believe that something could be "too red". Kurt nodded. Blaine rolled his eyes and replaced the sample.
This was going to be a long afternoon.
