Blaine was sitting at his desk, trying NOT to think about Kurt. Ever since Kurt had told him about Adam, he'd been pretty frustrated. He understood, to a certain extent. He'd been the one to screw up. But Kurt was his soul mate. He loved him so damn much, he nearly vomited when he heard Kurt was going on dates with an attractive guy with an accent. Screw accents. Screw attractive NYADA students.
"Ughhhhhh"... Blaine let out a groan, and put his head in his hands on his desk. He wanted to be with Kurt. Right now, right this instant. He wanted to tell him how deeply he loved him, he wanted to hold him in his arms, and kiss those perfect lips. At that moment, his phone rang, blasting out "Teenage Dream", Kurt's ringtone.
"Kurt!" he gasped. Ok. Take it easy. Make it sound natural, like you haven't been thinking about him every moment of every day. He's just your best friend.
Yeah, right.
"Why hello there, Mr. Hummel." God... why did he just SAY that? Why didn't he just say hello like a normal human being.
"Hi!" Kurt realized his voice was even more high pitched than usual. Tone it DOWN, he told himself. "What are you up to right now?"
Blaine knew every inflection of Kurt's voice. Was he excited about something?
"Oh, the usual. Ignoring my parents. Doing math homework. I actually saw your dad after school, today."
"You did? How is he? Does he seem like he's doing ok? Was Carole there?" Kurt was constantly worried about his Dad.
Blaine smiled at the concern in Kurt's voice. "He's fine, Kurt. He's doing really well. He said you're coming home for the wedding!" Blaine let that hang for a moment, unsure of his next sentence. "It'll be good to see you." Wow, could that sound more impersonal? Idiot.
Kurt smiled into his phone. He was excited to ask Blaine about this. "Yeah, it'll be great to see you too. I'm flying in tomorrow. Listen, I was wondering about something. And let me know if it's too weird."
Blaine paused, "Ok...? What is it?"
"I wanted to do a duet with you at the wedding. I miss singing with you, you know? You're still the best duet partner ever." Kurt bit his lip as he waited for Blaine's reply, continuously fiddling with his hands.
Blaine beamed. "Yeah! Of course! I would love that!" He cringed. He sounded too eager. Oh well. Kurt knew how he felt. Right?
"Ok good! So, since we won't have much time to practice because I'm only getting there the day before the wedding, we should do something we both know. Which is easy because we both know like all the same songs." Ok, good. Blainewantedto sing with him. That was a good sign. He hadn't screwed things up too much by seeing Adam.
"Yeah, of course. What did you have in mind?" He would singanythingwith Kurt.
" 'I Finally Found Someone', you know, the Bryan Adams/Streisand love song?" Kurt chewed his lip. It was an incredibly romantic song. It fit Mr. Schue and Emma really well, because they started out as friends, and fell deeply in love. He hoped Blaine saw the parallel. He hoped Blaine knew what he was trying to say.
Blaine was quiet for a moment. "That's a beautiful song. I'm sure they'll love it."
Blaine's heart felt like it was being squeezed in a thousand pieces. Is this just for Mr. Schue? Or is Kurt trying to tell me something? Am I being crazy getting my hopes up?
"Kurt, you know I know that song by heart. At least I know Bryan Adam's part. I assume you'll be taking Barbara's?" He asked that question with a smile in his voice.
"Of course, Blaine. It's Barbara. I know every song she's ever sang." Kurt rolled his eyes in response to Blaine's question.
Blaine laughed. His spirits rose hearing the happiness in Kurt's voice. "Well, I guess I'll be seeing you soon then. "
"Yeah! Absolutely. If we don't get to rehearse tomorrow we'll rehearse right before the wedding. We know our stuff, right? We can both go over it individually, too." He was getting SO excited! He was going to be able to sing with Blaine again! He loved him. God, he loved him.
"That sounds good." Blaine paused, "Kurt... I really,reallymiss you in my life." He couldn't help it. He had to let Kurt know.
Kurt's breath hitched. Ohmygod. He still feels the same way! "I miss you too, Blaine. We'll talk when I get there, I promise."
Blaine smiled, "Ok. Have a safe flight, love."Oh shit.That was an honest mistake. Kurt was going to freak out.
In actuality, Kurt felt like his heart was going to explode. He didn't even pause before replying, "I will, B. I'll see you soon."
Kurt used his nickname! Blaine's smile could practically be heard on the other end. "Bye."
Could Kurt really have forgiven him? Could he have heard correctly? Or was he making it all up in his head? Was Kurt just being his best friend or had he truly detected more in his voice?
"Oh my god..." Blaine said to himself. "What the HELL am I going to wear, now!?"
