Blaine was sitting at the airport, waiting for his flight to Ohio. He was going on a visit to his parents. It wasn't that he was close with his parents but at least they were supportive of his music. His lifestyle on the other hand was a totally different story and a subject that was pushed so far in the closet that it could only be found after a lot of boxes and with a lot of dust on it.
They had a few days though when the whole family came together. This time the special occasion was Cooper his birthday, Blaine's older brother.
Blaine was excited to see his older brother. They didn't see each other that much but when they did it was always a party.
When Blaine had arrived at the airport, he had said bye to his bandmates and Wes who he would meet back in La in another week.
As he was waiting, he started scrolling through his tumblr app. It gave him a distraction and by the looks of a picture that appeared, someone had spotted him waiting. Blaine started to look around, curious to find anyone with his phone pointed at him but he didn't see anyone near.
Blaine liked the picture and reblogged it. It was needed to keep the cover up. Just that moment his flight was announced. Blaine was taking his bags when he felt someone tap his shoulder. In front of him stood a girl from his age who was smiling shyly at him and blinking her eyes at him.
“You are Blaine Anderson right? Can I have a picture with you?”
Blaine smiled at the girl and posed for a picture with her. She thanked him for the picture and he gave her a last hug before he walked to the line for his flight. He looked back at his tumblr page and saw the picture already posted. The favorites and reblogs grew immediately. Under the picture stood one simple message: Blaine Anderson is checking in for Ohio!

The week had passed halfway. Blaine had enjoyed his time at home. He had met some old friends and hung out with his brother. They had gone to the movies and spend some time catching up. And they had of course celebrated Cooper's birthday. It had been a huge party with an enormous cake.
When Blaine opened his phone after the party, he was surprised that more than 20 messages appeared on his screen and a dozen of missed phone calls, all from Wes. He was just about to open the messages when his phone started ringing.
Hello Blaine Anderson speaking.
Blaine, it's Wes. We have a problem.
What do you mean we have a problem?
Blaine was starting to get worried. Wes only called if there was a real big problem.
I just got a call from the upcoming designer Lorenzo Martiniosi. He'll not be able to create your suit for next week. What'll we do? You can't go with the same outfit twice to the grammy's! And there is no way we'll find someone who'll be able to create a new design so short in time.
You got to be kidding me?
I'm serious Blaine. The guy called me, telling me that he was in the hospital and that there was no way he would be able to finish it. What are we going to do?
Wes, you are the manager. You should know a solution, it's part of your job.
Blaine heard Wes sigh frustrated.
Blaine, please help me think about this. If you have any ideas, just text me. It's such a short notice and it should be someone who lives close to where you are unless you have time to fly back to la early.
It was Blaine's time to sigh now.
Fine, I'll call you back when something pops up into my mind. I'll call you back later. Don't worry, we'll find something.
Blaine hung up and went to sit on his bed with his hands in his hair. He had literally no idea. Blaine wanted to clear his mind and opened his tumblr app. He hadn't gone online the past week because of the time he had spent with family and friends.
He got excited when he saw a message in his inbox, only hoping it would be from that one person. Hi Blaine_warbler, click underside link to see my latest drawing. I hope you like it!
Blaine got even more excited, waiting for the drawing to load. Inside was a drawing of Blaine at the airport with his headphone on and his phone in his hand. It looked amazing and still Blaine was surprised by the details and how this guy could make such a beautiful drawings.
It was then that their last conversation got through his mind. He drew fashion and wasn't this kid from Ohio. Blaine went to the page of Kurt Hummel and went through the text.
He felt a bit of a creep when he typed Kurt Hummel in the google search balk. He found a few links. The first thing that appeared was his facebook page. Blaine took a moment to go through it and found out that the guy lived in Lima. That wasn't too far away. And Blaine had to admit that he wasted a bit of time, getting distracted by the pictures on the page. The guy was beautiful.
Blaine went through the other links. He found a blog from a guy in McKinley high school. He opened it but was shocked by the video he saw. He saw Kurt, standing scared, getting picked up by some football guys and thrown into a dumpster.
He started scrolling through the page but didn't feel like watching it anymore when he saw a video of Kurt being bombarded by what looked like pee balloons. His stomach made a turn and he ran to the bathroom to clear his stomach.
When his stomach was empty, he took the time to think this through. Maybe the answer was closer than he thought at first.
It was then that he made his decision. He would go to Lima the next day to find this guy.
