Blaine woke up excited, he would get to see Kurt tomorrow. He couldn't wait. He realized he had 2 hours until breakfast he decided he would write the music for One Day at A time. He finished writing then he headed to go get breakfast.
The day's events were uneventful. Lots of Izzy thanking him for the opportunity. After dinner he once again was dragged to his room. “Ok so I already sent the list the my manager and the recording studio approved it so we are good!” Blaine said to Izzy. He set everything up then pressed record on his webcam.
“Hi everyone It's me Blaine.”
“And I'm Izzy!”
“We are releasing an acoustic Album together.”
“It will be officially released later this summer.”
“So here's a sneak preview!”
They recorded themselves singing Iris with very little mistakes, they were done in no time. They did a quick edit of it and then Blaine opened twitter and typed. Me and @Izzydaguitarist doing an album it will be released later this summer. Enjoy this special sneak preview!
“Ok Mr. Anderson you promised you would tell me the meaning in these songs we are doing in this album.”
“Ok Iris I wrote it when I was lost... I didn't know how I fit in, in this crazy world of fame. When I wrote A-team it was before I was famous and I thought I would never be. So I was stressed, but me and Kurt went outside and played in the snow and he just looked like and angel. Locked out of heaven we were seniors in high school and it was our first time going all the way and I wanted him to spend the night but he couldn't because his dad wanted him home. I just felt that I was locked out of heaven. Treasure was written when Kurt and I weren't together but I liked him but I wasn't ready for a boyfriend but he said he was a sexy as baby penguin and well that wasn't true. I just knew he was a treasure. So yeah they mostly have to do with Kurt.”
“Wow, you guys have been through a lot.”
“You have no idea.”
“Well I'm gonna go see you tomorrow!”
“Yea bye.” Right after Izzy left Blaine felt his phone vibrate it was a text from Kurt.
I'm going to bed now I'm excited to see you tomorrow! Can't wait til your next album! <3 Kurt
It will be good. See you tomorrow love! <3 Blaine
Kurt woke up bright and early to get ready. He had to look good for Blaine, Kurt always had to make an impression! Little did Kurt know that Blaine was doing the same thing. Blaine walked to breakfast to find Izzy staring with wide eyes.
“Woah!”
“Thank you.”
“Is there a reason your looking so uhhh hot?” Izzy asked knowing the answer.
“Izzy, Kurt is coming and I know I don't compare to how great he will look but... Oh my god I need to change! Do you think they'll let me shop? I don't know wh-”
“Hey hey Blaine! You look fine ok. What time is he coming?”
“12:30....”
“Ok try to stay calm ok?”
“I don't know if I ca-" Izzy gave him a death glare, he took a few deep breaths and began to feel a little better. "Ok. Hey what do you have to do at 3:30?”
“Nothing I have free time why?”
“Just wondering.” Blaine said already coming up with a plan.
“Rachel I'm gonna die I'm going to go in there and Blaine is going to look as perfect as ever and I'm gonna look like fucking shit! Just kill me now! I need a new outfit an-”
“KURT!” Rachel yelled into the phone.
“What?!”
“You need to calm your ass down! Ok?” Kurt then sighs.
“I'll try.”
He did keep it together until 12:29, when Kurt was walking up to the building and he he saw Blaine was waiting in the lobby. They haven't seen each other since Kurt left! How were they supposed to greet each other?
'Oh no.' Blaine thought he saw Kurt. Well correction, he didn't see Kurt he saw paparazzi taking a ton of photos of something so he was pretty sure that would be Kurt. When he could finally see him his jaw dropped! He looked beautiful, it wasn't like he expected anything different.
When Kurt made his way around the paparazzi and caught sight of Blaine he was left speechless. He had a red sweater on and just looked absolutely adorable.
Kurt opened the doors and Blaine didn't even care he just needed to be in Kurt's arms. He ran to him and through himself into Kurt's arms and began to weep.
“I-I m-missed y-you s-so much!” Blaine said into Kurt's neck.
“I missed you too Blaine...” Kurt said getting a little misty eyed too. “Come on we need to go where's Dr. Webb's office?”
“This way.” Blaine said leading the way but not letting go of Kurt's waist, afraid he would disappear.
They made their way through crowds. Everyone was looking at them... Some girls were even screaming. He just wished Izzy didn't have therapy right now.They got to Dr. Webb's office and she shook Kurt's hand.
“Mr. Hummel I love all your plays you've been in I'm a huge fan!”
“Thank you.”
“Please take a seat next to Blaine.”
“How are you today Blaine?”
“I'm ok...”
“Great. So let's get started. Are you guys ready to go deep?”
“Yes.” Kurt and Blaine both said.
“Ok. Blaine do you remember when I asked if you had any alcohol cravings and you said yes?”
“Yes...” Blaine said in a small voice.
“Don't worry... I know what your thinking you think that that's bad. It's totally normal. It's good your being honest do you remember why you wanted to drink?”
“I was sad...”
“About?”
“About what I did to Kurt and how I'm probably the worst boyfriend to ever walk the face of the planet.”
Kurt didn't want to interrupt their conversation but when Blaine said he was the worst boyfriend he couldn't hold it in any longer.
“You are not the worst boyfriend. You are probably the best. The worst wouldn't have gotten help, The worst wouldn't have said sorry and meant it. When you look me in the eyes I see the love you have for me. The worst boyfriend in the world doesn't care and love like you do!”
Blaine then had tears streaming down his face and Kurt's eyes also had tears in his eyes.
“Blaine you heard Kurt you have a heart, a really big one too. You will get better I've seen lots of people coming in here some don't want to get better some do. And you sir, want to get better.”
“I do I really do!”
“Ok, So I know you cheated on Kurt did you do anything else that might have been hurtful?”
“Yes...” Blaine mumbled.
“What might that have been?”
“Do I have too?”
“Blaine, it's obviously causing you a lot of pain... It would help to talk about it and get it out in the open then after you do I'm going to leave and you and Kurt will each have a list of things I will want you guys to talk about in private.”
“Fine.... I-I hit him.” With that Blaine broke down into uncontrollable sobs. Kurt immediately collected him into his arms to try to calm him. After a few minutes Blaine sobs were reduced to just sniffles.
“Why did you hit him Blaine?” Her voice was full of warmth not disgust like Blaine thought.
“I was drunk... I didn't know what I was doing. I don't quite remember perfectly.”
“Ok we will discuss more on that later, Right now I have a list of things I want you guys to go over. I will come back when there is 10 minutes of family meeting left. Here's the lists see you later.” She then left.
On Blaine's list it said:
Talk about why you use alcohol.
Talk about how you feel when you use alcohol.
Talk about why you want to stop.
On Kurt's list it said:
Talk about how you feel when they use alcohol
Talk about how you deal with stressful thing
Why you want them to stop
“Ok who's list do you want to do first?” Kurt asked
“Umm let's do mine then yours.”
“Ok.”
“Talk about why you use alcohol. Well you know being famous is no piece of cake. It's stressful. I'm expected to party so I did. Then I just felt like I wasn't good enough to be with you. Your the exact definition of perfect and I'm just... Blaine. I'm not beautiful like you. I'm not good at fashion. I can dress myself but I can't design clothes I felt unworthy of you and your love. You got hit on everywhere we went which I don't blame you for. I don't even blame the people who hit on you I mean look at you. Anyway I started to think you should be with one of those guys and not me.” Blaine said his eyes starting to burn with tears.
“Ok first of all. You are plenty good enough to be with me. I'm not perfect nobody is. Do you remember what you used to do for stress release?”
“Yeah song writing.”
“And exercising, you did a lot. You're not just Blaine. You're Blaine Anderson. A big Harry Potter nerd, bow tie loving freak and a pop star. You reached your dreams when everyone told you that you couldn't do it. You know what? I know only a few things in this world which are I love you, you are a somebody and that you can over come this!” By this time Blaine and tears rapidly streaming down his cheeks.
“I love you too.”
“You are beautiful. So breathtakingly beautiful Blaine. You can put outfits together and look good, so what if you can't design clothes but I think if you tried you could. You are worthy of me and my love. I should definitely not be with on of those other guys!”
“Yeah, yeah you shouldn't!" Blaine said with a small smile.
“Ok next one.”
“Talk about how you feel when you use alcohol.”
They continued in a similar pattern until the last one on Kurt's list, which was, 'Why you want them to stop.'
"Ok sweetie last one." Kurt began. "Why I want you to stop, I love you more than anything in the world. You're the good in this world, one of the only things I can count on. But when you're drunk I can't see you, I see someone completely different, I just want the man I fell in love with back. When you love someone you want to keep them out of danger, and alcohol is a big danger and I never want your perfect self anywhere near danger."
They gave each other a hug, a couple seconds later Dr. Webb came in.
“Did you guys finish?”
“Ya just barely actually.”
“Ok great.” They talked about what Kurt and Blaine discussed and she released them for a goodbye.
“Do you want to meet Izzy.”
“I would love to.” They walked to her room and knocked on her door. Izzy's jaw dropped and she launched herself at Kurt.
“Oh my god I've wanted to meet you for like ever.”
“It's nice to meet you Izzy.” The 3 of them talked for another 10 minutes.
“Well I should get going it was nice meeting you Izzy.”
“You too.” She said excitedly.
“I'll walk you out.” Blaine said.
They walked in comfortable silence until they reached the lobby. They both had tears in their eyes when they jumped into each others arms.
“I don't want you to go.” Blaine said in a small voice, sounding like a 3 year old getting dropped of at daycare and not wanting their mom to leave them there.
“I know... I'll miss you.”
Blaine sobbed and buried his face into Kurt's neck. “I'll miss y-you t-too!”
“I'll talk to you later ok? I love you.”
“I love you too.” Blaine said with a small voice while wiping his eyes.
With a small wave Kurt was gone.
Blaine had tears running down his cheeks he just wanted to lock himself in his room with Kurt cuddling him, but he couldn't. Kurt was going to their shared apartment which he couldn't go to. He had to go to yet another therapy session. So he made his way to Dr. Webb's office.
“Hi Blaine take a seat.”
Blaine did what she said with a nod.
“Friday's are busy huh?” Another nod.
“What's up kiddo?”
“I miss Kurt... I wish I never started over using alcohol and we could be having fun together like we used to.”
“It'll happen again I promise. So, how do you feel after talking to him?”
“Honestly like a million bricks were lifted off of my shoulders!” Blaine said, perking up a little bit thinking about the conversation they had shared in this excact room not even an hour earlier.
“That's good and your craving for alcohol?”
“There isn't one.” Blaine said, shocked himself, this is the first time in months that he hadn't had a craving for alcohol.
“Good I think we found the root of your problem. You don't think your good enough, but that's not true. Your plenty good enough, and I am going to do everything I can to prove that you are."
They talked until the therapy session was over. He then headed to dinner. The rest of the day's events were uneventful. Until 10:00. Izzy had gone back to her own room. Kurt had texted him that he was going to bed. Blaine laid down on his bed scrolling through his phone's pictures which were mostly of him and Kurt. Blaine was looking at one picture of Kurt and his eyes were sticking out more than usual. Blaine than got an idea. He opened his song writing journal and titled the first empty page which he titled When You Look Me in the Eyes.
