Title: I'm Feeling Lucky – Chapter Two
Pairing: Kurt/Blaine
Disclaimer: Still do not belong to me. And after what happened this week on Glee, I think firing the writers and Ryan Murphy would be entirely too kind.
Premise: The separation. Was it honestly necessary?
The summer of 2011 passed entirely too slowly for Kurt's liking. He certainly had enjoyed spending uninterrupted time with his girls and his boyfriend (and yes, the word still gave him such a secret thrill), but time with the latter had been shocking scarce, truth be told.
Blaine had performed a three week run of shows at Six Flags in Chicago. After his run had concluded, he had continued to be busy with family obligations and other pursuits. What time they had shared though certainly hadn't been wasted. Kurt sighed, remembering several long, lazy afternoons curled up together, trading kisses, secrets, and dreams.
"Come to McKinley this year," he had proposed impulsively. "I want my senior year to be magic." The idea had been placed before Blaine shortly after the previous scholastic year had ended.
Logistically, it didn't make a lot of sense. While not from Westerville proper, a daily commute for Blaine (though feasible) would eat up quite a bit of each morning and afternoon. Kurt had briefly daydreamed about Blaine staying with his family each week and going back home to his parents on the weekend but even he knew not to completely push his luck with his dad.
His senior year. The words echoed again in his head and Kurt frowned. Thanks to certain unnamed homophobic assholes at Blaine's first high school, he wouldn't be graduating with Kurt. It was another reason why Kurt wanted Blaine at McKinley with him. He knew the odds of a high school romance remaining intact afterward were certainly stacked against him – against them both. Was it selfish of him to want to spend as much time as possible together before hand?
Maybe. Maybe not.
"Guess what?" Blaine's voice on the phone sounded so happy. Kurt could picture the enormous grin on his face that was accompanying his words. It was enough to make him smile, almost helplessly.
"You've burned all of your blazers?"
"Blasphemy!" Blaine's faux-outrage was adorable. "And I thought you loved my blazers."
"I love you," Kurt countered. "I just don't particularly love you wearing those blazers."
"Now I know what to get you for Christmas. But seriously, guess what?"
Kurt restrained an eyeroll but the grin never left his face. "Tell me."
"We are going to have an awesome senior year at McKinley."
Oh.
My.
Gaga.
"Seriously?!" Kurt squealed out loud and waved Finn away when he poked his head into Kurt's room, looking concerned. "You're coming to McKinley with me?"
"Not only that, but I'm graduating with you."
The true reasons behind Blaine's impossibly busy summer schedule became clear. He had negotiated a shorter job at Six Flags to give himself the time to complete enough online classes to bump himself back up to his proper year.
"We're going to be together," Kurt whispered faintly.
"You said you were never saying goodbye to me." Blaine's voice became thick. "I realized that I really didn't want to say goodbye to you."
