"Hey there" Kurt peaked around his locker and smiled. "Are we still on for packing this weekend? We need to start figuring out what we need to buy for the apartment. I can't believe it's only like two more months until we graduate and then we are going to go look at apartments and then we are moving there." There was a huge smile covering his face as he looked at Blaine and Blaine couldn't help but smile back just as brightly.
"Right. But first I have to meet Jared at the Lima Bean to talk about Anthony remember?" Blaine smiled and couldn't help but chuckle slightly when his face fell slightly. "You forgot didn't you? We made plans yesterday" Blaine teased fondly.
"Yeah well I was just excited about planning our future." Kurt blushed and ducked his head to his chest. Blaine looked around them and saw that they were alone and reached up and stroked his cheek softly and quickly.
"It's fine. I don't think it will take too long. I'll head to your house right after though okay? You won't even have time to miss me." Blaine smiled and Kurt smiled back hitching his bag over his shoulder.
"I will always miss you." He smiled and Blaine closed his locker and they headed towards the parking lot. They chatted idly as they headed towards their cars where they were parked next to each other as always. "I will see you later then okay?" They grasped hands, knowing that they were in a public place in Ohio and Blaine nodded. They got into their own cars and waved at each other before driving off in opposite directions.
Blaine pulled into the parking lot and noticed that Jared's car was already in the parking lot. He grabbed his bag and hurried into the shop, waving at Jared, where he was sitting at a table sipping his coffee. Blaine held up one finger indicating one moment and went over to the register and ordered his drink. It was out fairly quickly since there was no one else waiting in line and he made his way over to Jared's table.
"Hey how are you doing?" He sat down across from the younger boy and stirred in the extra cinnamon that he felt like having today.
"Just worried about my homework. All of my teachers decided to assign me papers all at once" Jared shrugged. Blaine just laughed.
"Yeah they do that and they will continue to do that for the rest of high school. From what I hear they are going to do that in college to. I don't think they understand that they aren't the only teachers we have" Blaine chuckled as Jared groaned and knocked his head on the table. They chatted for a few more minutes about everyday things until the subject of Anthony was brought up.
"No seriously. You should have seen him at that party. He was chasing people around trying to force them to see his weird double jointed joints. I didn't even know that it was possible for him to bend him arm like that but he loved to show it off. Especially when he was drunk. I remember this one time I was just trying to drag him around to stop him from bothering the rest of the people. He certainly was the life of the party at Dalton though. Everyone loved him" Blaine laughed as he told the story and Jared was in stitches by the time the story was over.
"I knew that he was crazy when he was drunk but I never got the full stories. Any others?" Jared leaned down and watched Blaine intently and smiled.
"Well this one time…" Blaine continued on telling story after story about Anthony's time at Dalton, talking about the good times that they had together and about the fun he and Anthony got up to during their time together both as friends and as a couple.
The entire time he was talking to Jared, he couldn’t help but imagine what his life was going to be like in New York next year. He wondered if he and Kurt were going to meet up between classes at a coffee shop similar to the Lima Bean and talk about their day so far, or if they would only see each other in the mornings before school and in the evenings after school. They both had to get jobs as well which would cut down on their time together even more.
Blaine was starting to realize that New York may not be like the vacation they were thinking it was going to be. They may not see each other for days at a time, besides when they were sleeping, if their schedules didn’t match up. They hadn’t even been accepted to school yet. He knew he may be getting a little ahead of himself and was psyching himself out but he couldn’t help but recognize that the life they had imagined in New York was probably not going to be reality 24/7.
Shaking his head, he pulled himself out of depressing thoughts, vowing to talk to Kurt about it soon enough, and went back to paying full attention to the conversation. Eventually Blaine glanced at his watch and saw that it had been over an hour and a half since they had met and realized that he needed to get going.
"Jared as much fun as this has been I really do need to get going. Kurt's family is expecting me for dinner but this was really fun. We should do this again yeah?" Blaine asked as he began to pack up all of his things that had somehow made their way out of his bag during their conversation.
"Oh wow. Yeah we have been here for a while. I need to get home too. I have a ton of papers to write. But yeah we need to do this again. Just let me know when you are free. I know you have to be busy with graduation and packing and stuff but I'll be around" Jared smiled and they both stood up. They walked to their cars and stood their awkwardly for a moment, neither knowing exactly how to end the encounter.
"Well I guess I'll be seeing you?" Jared stepped back and turned towards his car. Blaine nodded and stepped back towards his car waving as they both turned to leave. Blaine headed back out on the street and headed to Kurt's home. He knocked on the door and Burt answered scoffing.
"Kid you know you don't have to knock. This is just as much your home as it is Kurt's or Finn's. " Burt stepped to the side and they walked into the living room and sat on the couch before Burt called out to his son. "Kurt your boy is here!" He yelled up the stairs and they could both hear thumping noises from upstairs and then the telltale sound of someone running downstairs.
"Hi Blaine!" Kurt skipped into the room and over to the couch leaning over and giving Blaine a hello kiss before turning to his father when he heard him chuckle. "Yes Dad? Can I help you?"
"Didn't you two see each other two hours ago?" Burt's eyebrows were raised as he laughed to himself, watching his son sit down next to his boyfriend and lean against him.
"Yeah well, it was a long two hours." Kurt rolled his eyes and snuggled in closer to Blaine's side. Blaine just smiled and wrapped his arm around Kurt's shoulder, watching in amusement as the father and son squabbled.
The rest of the evening was spent watching the game, much to Kurt's chagrin, eating a delicious dinner that Blaine was actually allowed to help with for once and just spending time with the family that just wanted to spend time with him. When it was time for him to leave, they all said goodbye to Blaine as Kurt walked Blaine to his car, as per tradition.
"I'll be over tomorrow morning around noonish? We have to have our weekly family breakfast first" Blaine leaned against his car as Kurt wrapped his arms around his waist.
"Yeah that sounds good. We can start planning our future then." Kurt smirked and kissed Blaine's neck softly, smiling against the skin. Blaine just closed his eyes and sighed and contentment. "Love you" Kurt muttered against Blaine's skin kissing it once again.
"Love you too." Blaine placed his fingers under Kurt's chin and raised his head so he could kiss his lips. He kissed him sweetly and deeply. "I'll be back in the morning." He whispered against Kurt's lips before giving him a few more sweet kisses. Kurt kissed him one more time and untangled himself from his boyfriend.
"Okay. See you then. I want coffee since you are leaving me all alone tonight" Kurt pouted and Blaine snickered.
"Yeah coffee. I'll remember that." Blaine got in his car and watched as Kurt walked up to the porch and open the front door. They waved to each other and Blaine backed out and drove back to his house for the night.
Blaine walked into the Lima Bean the next day, slipping his phone back into his pocket after sending a text to Kurt. He had promised to stop by the coffee shop to get them their normal drinks before heading back to the Hummel's house to begin organizing everything for the move and sorting out which things they were planning on taking with them to New York and which things they were going to leave behind.
He rolled his eyes as he realized just how often he actually came to the coffee shops he was currently standing in. Yes it was cheaper than Starbucks or any other chains but they still must spend a ridiculous amount of money on some silly little drinks. He quickly pulled out his phone again as he walked towards the back of the line.
Blaine: We really should invest in a coffee machine next year.
Blaine waited in line, surprised that there were so many people getting coffee at 11 o'clock in the morning on a Saturday. He slowly made his way up to the front and was about to order another voice interrupted him.
"He'll have a medium drip, a grande non-fat mocha and I'll have a grande chai (thai?) tea please." Blaine turned around shocked and saw Jared behind him holding out a twenty dollar bill. Jared gave Blaine a half smile and handed the cashier the money as Blaine stepped off to the side.
"Thanks but you really didn't need to do that." Blaine smiled as they moved over and waited off to the side. "It's not like I'm even going to be able to drink it with you. I have to head over to Kurt's. We are going to do some packing or something for next year."
"Yeah well I figured it was the least I could do after everything I put you through" Jared just shrugged. The Barista called out their orders and they thanked her quickly while taking their drinks. "I didn't expect you to drink it with me either. I have to go as well. I was just hoping that we could make plans to hang out or talk at some point soon? I promise not to scare you away this time" Jared grinned sarcastically and Blaine couldn't help but chuckle.
"You didn't scare me last time but yeah that would be cool. Just let me know. You have my number right?" Blaine asked as they walked out the doors and towards their cars. Jared just nodded and pointed his thumb over his shoulder.
"Well I'm that way, so I guess I'll see you later then. Have fun packing" Jared waved as he walked over towards his car and Blaine waved back smiling, placing his coffee on top of his car while he opened the door. He quickly grabbed it and put both coffees in the drink holders and began the short drive to the Hummel's home.
"Hello? Kurt where are you?" Blaine walked in the door, closing it with his back behind him. He began heading up the stairs, knowing that Kurt was probably already upstairs going through his stuff and attempting to narrow it down to the absolute necessities.
"Yeah honey! I'm up here! In the closet!" Kurt was sitting on the ground surrounded by clothes, his hair dishevelled. He was holding up two similar looking scarves, trying to decide between the two.
"Do you know how many 'in the closet' jokes I am trying not to make right now?" Blaine laughed as he placed the coffees on the dresser and walked into the closet. "Good morning" he leaned down and gave Kurt a quick peck on the lips.
"Mhmm. Good morning. And I know I heard it as soon as I said it. No making fun of me. Now help me decide which clothes I absolutely need for New York. So far everything is necessary. Which one?" Kurt showed the scarves to his boyfriend and Blaine couldn't help but scoff.
"They are both blue. I think they both are fine. Whichever one you pick will be good." Blaine just shrugged and sat down besides Kurt. "Oh and Coffee is on the dresser if you want it. You may want to get some before it gets too cold"
"You know nothing about fashion. You are so lucky you have me." Kurt raised an eyebrow at him and smirked before standing up and heading out to get a few drinks of coffee to wake him up.
"Yeah I really am aren't I. Otherwise I would just be the weirdo in suspenders right?" Blaine picked up some more clothes that needed to be sorted tried to decide if they were worth packing. One was obviously a glee costume so Blaine put it off to the side to be kept at home while the other he put in a pile for Kurt to decide since he wouldn't be able to make the right decision.
"Blaine we have had this talk many times. Suspenders have their place but wearing them every day a little ridiculous" Kurt walked back in the closet and sat back down. Blaine just rolled his eyes at his comment and continued to sort out the crazy outfits from the wearable outfits and then let Kurt sort out the rest.
Eventually they were able to narrow down the clothing to just a few racks, but they weren't even close to being done.
"We still have to figure out what from my bedroom is coming with us too. This was just my closet." Kurt explained as they walked out of the closet together stretching, still a little cramp from sitting in one place for so long.
"No. Just kill me now" Blaine fell back on Kurt's bed and pulled a blanket over him. "I'm just going to stay here actually." Kurt lay down next to him and crawled under the blanket as well.
"Well while we are here we can figure out which bed we want to take. Mine or yours." They turned so they were facing each other and Blaine ran his fingers along the plains of Kurt's face, smile softly at him.
"I like your bed better. So that's my vote. I think for the rest of the big stuff we have to wait and see though. Cause we don't know what apartment size we are going to have. We need to figure that out first." Blaine tangled his feet in with Kurt's and Kurt began to rub their calves together.
"Yeah I guess you are right. Sorry I was just getting excited I guess?" Kurt shrugged as best as he could, lying on his side. He wrapped his arms around Blaine's waist pulling him closer and gripping them tightly together. Blaine rested his head on Kurt's chest as Kurt pulled the blanket off of their head's to make it easier to breathe but leaving the rest of them covered.
The rest of the afternoon was spent cuddling and talking about what they were going to do once they were in New York, both boys forgetting about packing, realizing that they still had months left to do that but they didn't always have time to just spend with each other. However, Blaine couldn’t help but hold Kurt just a little closer, thinking that maybe even in New York he wouldn’t have anytime to just be with his boyfriend.
