ONLY 65 MORE TO GO!
It was a chilly spring Saturday morning in New York. The boys were walking through the city, around the area of Central Park. "I need to warm up," Blaine said.
"So do I. I still don't know why I didn't pick to go to a school in California. It's warm and sunny there all year round," Kurt said. They turned a corner and FAO Schwartz came into view.
"Can we go in? Can we please go in?" Blaine asked. His eyes were sparkling with excitement.
Kurt laughed. "Of course we can," he replied.
Blaine took off like a rocket towards the store, but had to stop and collect himself when he got inside. There was just so much to look at! "Look at all the candy down there! And oh! We have to look at that mountain of animals! And then…" but Blaine was off and running before he could finish his sentence.
Kurt navigated through the throngs of people to an excited Blaine clutching something to his chest.
"Kermit puppet!" Blaine said happily.
"I can see that," Kurt said, laughing.
"Um, would you make fun of me if I said I can't leave him at the store?" Blaine asked.
Kurt smiled. "Well, he is Kermit the frog. He's kind of a celebrity. You really can't let him sleep in the store."
Blaine bounced over to the cash register, picked up some weird-flavored Jelly Beans on the way, and paid for his stuff. They left the store, hand in hand, smiling, until the wind hit their faces.
"Subway! Now!" Kurt ordered.
"Good idea," Blaine said. They rushed towards the subway, hoping for any sign of warmth.
