Hi Klainers! Sorry I've been MIA for a bit. I went away for a weekend and then today I had a big test for my major so I was studying for that all week. But I'm back! My teaching experience is over for the semester so I'm no longer trying to organize lessons and write plans so I don't forsee any huge gaps in my writing for a while!
"Please?" Kurt begged. Kurt and Blaine had the same argument every single time Blaine came to visit Kurt in New York. No matter where they decided to go in what part of the city, they always ended up standing in front of Tiffany's arguing.
"Kurt, don't tempt yourself," Blaine argued. Kurt had always wanted to go inside with Blaine, to "ooh" and "aah" over the expensive jewelry with his boyfriend, none of which either of them could wear, let alone afford. It was just fun to look at.
"Just this one time?" Kurt asked, sticking out his lower lip and giving Blaine puppy dog eyes. Blaine sighed.
"Just this once," he said. Kurt jumped up giddily and hugged Blaine. "Kurt, is this how someone going into Tiffany's would act?" Blaine asked.
"Oh my God, you're right! We have to act dignified," Kurt said. He straightened the lapel on his jacket and fixed his hair a bit. They then linked arms and stepped inside. They spent a few minutes looking into the displays at rings and necklaces, all priced more than their cars were worth. Then, something caught Kurt's eye. It was a big brooch shaped like a ladybug with a big, red, ruby as the body. The shimmer of the stone reflected onto Kurt's face.
"Beautiful, isn't it?" a saleswoman asked. Kurt just nodded. "Want to see it up close?" she asked. Kurt could only nod. The woman carefully picked it up and put it in Kurt's hands. He held it like it was a delicate robin's egg; that it would break any second.
"How much?" Kurt asked. The saleswoman sighed.
"Ten thousand," she said sadly. "Believe me, kid. If it was less, that piece would have been snatched up long ago." Kurt handed it back to her. Blaine gave him a sad look and they walked out of the store.
"Did that satisfy your need?" Blaine asked. Kurt sighed.
"No, now my longing for Tiffany's is just greater," he said sadly. Blaine laughed, kissed his cheek, and led him away into the city again and back to reality.
