I have a question for you, my lovely readers! I know that I keep switching from them living in Lima while Blaine finishes high school to them living in New York together while Blaine starts college. Do you mind that? If I were to only stick with one, where would you want me to stick to? PM me or reply! It would really help me out! Okay, here's today's story...
Dust spattered the floor around the whirring box in front of the Anderson family's large, flat-screen television. What had started out as a begrudging assignment to clean the basement turned into an afternoon of fun. The boys had found Blaine's old Sega system and had popped in a Sonic game, the first one they could find. "I'm so bad at this!" Kurt complained. He frantically smashed at the buttons on the controller that was too small for his hands.
"Well you didn't have hours and hours of practice when you were a kid," Blaine said. He was focused, methodically pushing the buttons on his controller. He had played and beaten this game several times as a child, and what to do came back to him naturally. The phrase "Winner" flashed across the screen on the side that displayed Blaine's moves. "Ha! I win again!" he said.
Kurt groaned. "One more game," he said. "I think I'm finally getting the hang of it."
Blaine looked at their scores and laughed. "Um, okay, if you insist," he said.
Kurt rolled his eyes and they started the game over again.
They were only interrupted by the click of a key in the front door. Mrs. Anderson stepped inside with her papers from work dangling from her arms. "How's that basement cleaning going, boys?" she asked.
Blaine jumped and paused the game. "Um, we were just taking a break," he said. His cheeks flushed red.
Kurt laughed. "We'll get back to work, Mrs. A," he said. He grabbed Blaine by the wrist and pulled him downstairs.
Dismayed and saddened, Blaine sucked it up and they made the basement livable again.
