Blaine was busy chopping an onion for the homemade pasta sauce that he and Kurt were making for their weekly potluck when everyone came over to the loft.
Kurt spooned some sauce out of the pot and walked over to Blaine. "Taste this," Kurt said.
"It's not done yet, Kurt," Blaine said, not looking away from his onion.
"I know, but it's already so good!" Kurt said.
Blaine cautiously continued to chop the onion, but he turned his face so he could taste the sauce. "It's good, but it needs…" Blaine looked down at his now throbbing and bleeding finger, still clutching the now red onion. It wasn't a deep cut, so it was nothing to worry about.
"Go get yourself a Band-Aid," Kurt said.
"There's none left in the bathroom," Blaine said.
"I have some in my bedside table. Just don't bleed on anything, clumsy," Kurt said.
Blaine rolled his eyes and went to the bedroom. He pawed through Kurt's bedside table until he found the bandaids. He bandaged up his finger and went to put the box back, when he saw something in a frame stuffed in the back of the drawer. He pulled it out and smiled: it was the picture of Blaine in his Dalton uniform with the word courage clipped from magazines underneath. He knew this had hung in Kurt's locker at McKinley before he transferred to Dalton. He went out into the kitchen, the picture in hand. "I didn't know you kept this," Blaine said.
Kurt turned away from his sauce and looked at the picture. "Yeah. I know you don't like that picture of yourself so I hid it," he said, clearly a little embarrassed. "It reminds me of when we met," he said.
"Me too. I kind of like it," Blaine said. He walked over to a spare nail on the wall and hung it up. They admired it for a minute.
"So, do we have the courage to clean up your bloody mess now?" Kurt asked.
"Well, I don't want the others to think there was a murder, so we should probably do that," Blaine replied. After cleaning up their murder scene, they had a lovely dinner with their friends, even though the pasta sauce seemed to be significantly lacking in onions.
