July 31st
"You leave tomorrow." Kurt and I were sitting on my bed. I leave tomorrow to spend two weeks at the University of Illinois for their baseball camp. "I know. I'll be back before you know it though." I smiled sadly. Kurt was sitting cross legged with his back against the headboard and I was lying with my head in this lap.
"What are you gonna do while I'm gone?" I asked. "Tyler and I have some days planned. Other than that, I really don't know." Kurt sighed. "You should totally come pick me up on the last day and we'll have a date night." I suggested. "Only if you keep your baseball uniform on." Kurt laughed. "Deal. So um, do you wanna help me pack?" I smiled. "You haven't packed yet!" Kurt shouted. I smiled.
"Move." Kurt said shoving me off his lap. I sat up and watched him start digging though my drawers. I pulled my suit case out from under my bed. "Just remember Kurt. This is a baseball camp, shorts and t-shirts are the only thing I'll be wearing." I laughed. "Fine you pick the cloths out and I'll pack them for you. Since you can't figure out how to fold a shirt." Kurt said sitting back on my bed.
I tossed a pile of t-shirts and a mound of shorts on the bed. "You need an intervention Blaine." Kurt laughed as he packed my cloths. "This is the last of it." I said dropping the rest of my cloths on the bed. "Crap one more thing." I said reaching behind Kurt.
"This has gotta go with." I said handing Kurt a picture. It was the one of us sitting on the bed of my pick up with Kurt kissing my cheek. "You want this to go?" Kurt frowned. "Yeah, I don't get to kiss you for two whole weeks. I wanna remember it." I smiled leaning forward and giving him a kiss. "You are such a goober." Kurt laughed.
I packed my baseball stuff in my bat bag and piled it all by the door. I turned and looked at Kurt. "I feel like we're always saying goodbye." Kurt sighed. "Kurt, I'm never saying goodbye to you." I said wrapping him in a tight hug. "Good, because I don't plan on letting you go." he said. I could feel him smile into my shoulder. "Let's go have dinner." I said pulling him down the stairs.
"Here we are." I said pulling into a parking lot. Kurt and I had rode up to the U of I together in my truck. "Give me a kiss before you go." Kurt said pulling me into a kiss. My parents had to park down the street because they didn't have a parking pass like I did.
"Alright. Let's get your stuff." Kurt sighed climbing out of the truck. I flung my bat bag over my shoulder and rolled my suit case over to where my parents were standing by the dorm. "I didn't think I would be sending you off to college for another two years." My mom said pulling me into a hug.
"It's only a couple of weeks Ma. You're not even gonna notice I'm gone." I laughed pulling away from the hug. I turned and faced my dad. "See you soon Blaine." he said shaking my hand. "Bye dad. I love you mom." I said hugging her once more. Now Kurt. "See ya later Kurt." I said patting his shoulder. "Bye Blaine." he whispered. I walked up the path that lead to the dorm entry and turned the knob.
The dorm room was small. Like really small. The walls were a light gray color and the carpet was navy blue. Two beds sat opposite the door with a nightstand by each. A tiny window in-between let in a little light. Two desks sat against the foot of each bed with a cork board on each side of the room. Two closet doors were next to the entry door. Everything in two's.
One side of the room was already occupied. Posters hung on the wall and a laptop sat on the desk. The bed was unmade. A pair of baseball cleats was lying in the middle of the floor and a t-shirt was draped over the back of the desk chair. Great a slob.
I made my bed and stored my stuff away. I slipped the picture of me and Kurt in my bible and put in the night stand drawer. The room looked bare compared to my one at home. I didn't have to be anywhere until tomorrow morning. The guy who lived in here with me would take me with him to practice.
I grabbed my wallet and inhaler and walked out of the dorm.
The campus was nice. For summer there was a surprising amount of kids around. I stopped at a coffee place and sat at one of the seats that looked out at the street. There was every kind of person.
Then I saw it. There was a rainbow flag hanging in the window of one of the apartments across the road. I threw my coffee in the trash and walked back to the dorms.
The door was cracked open when I got back to the dorm room. "Hey dude." a guys was sitting on the opposite bed with a textbook in his lap. He was huge. Like bigger than Finn. He had a shaved head and a little scruff on him chin and neck. "Blaine Anderson." I said sticking out my hand. "I'm Dawson Pence. Nice to meet you." he said giving my hand a quick shake. I kicked off my boots and flopped down on the bed.
"So where're you from?" Dawson question. "I got to school in Newton. But I live in St. Marie." I said. "Yeah I have no idea where that's at." he laughed. "Not many people do. It's southern Illinois." I smiled. "Dude everything south of Chicago is considered southern Illinois. I'm from Ohio." he said. "Ouch. U of I over Ohio State. Way to ruffle feathers." I laughed. "Yeah, don't remind me." Dawson sighed.
"So how old are you again?" Dawson said after dinner. "I'm 16. I'll be a junior in the fall." I said changing into my sleep cloths. "Damn you're young. How'd you get here?" he said. "My coach told me somebody from the school saw me play and wanted me to come. That's all I know about this." I shrugged pulling out clean shorts.
"Fuck, where'd you get that bruise dude?" he asked. I looked down. You could still see where I got hit. "Um, I fell of my bike hill climbing." I lied. "Ouch dude. Well, see you in the morning." Dawson said shutting off the light.
I climbed into bed and pulled my blankets tight around me. I wanted Kurt right now. Really bad. I fiddled with the ribbon around my wrist and fell asleep.
