"This thing is so dumb!" Blaine yelled. He slammed his laptop onto his bed, just enough to jostle it around a little. He instantly regretted it, lunging at it to shield it from falling on the floor or bending too far in one direction.
"What's the problem now?" Kurt asked from his perch on Blaine's desk chair.
"I got another error message when I tried to upload an application essay," Blaine said. Blaine was always complaining about his computer. The screen had a small crack, two of the keys were missing, and not to mention, he'd had it since middle school.
"It's giving you an error message because it's so outdated. It doesn't even have the compatible software to upload the essay to the website. Use mine," Kurt said. He pulled his laptop out of his bag and handed it to Blaine.
Blaine quickly put his thumb drive in and uploaded his essay.
"Did you ever think that your laptop could use replacing?" Kurt asked.
Blaine looked shocked. "Kurt, I can't. That's my baby! Do you know what kind of sentimental stuff is on there?" Blaine asked.
"Get a huge thumb drive and back everything up. You have money from working last summer. We'll go out sometime next week and get you a new computer," Kurt said.
Blaine sighed. "I guess I should have an up-to-date computer if I'm going to college," he said.
"Give it to me tonight. I know the trick to back everything up really fast," Kurt said.
"Um, that's okay. I can do it." Blaine's cheeks turned a vibrant red color.
Kurt smiled. "Why? What's so secret?" he asked.
"You'll never know…" Blaine said. He seized his computer off the bed and bolted down the stairs with it. Kurt ran after him, both of them laughing.
