Next chapter: the New york concert
Blaine was a little nervous even though he didn't like to admit it. The boys had teased him all night. It was their job as best friends to do that.
Blaine looked at himself one last time in the mirror. He had chosen to leave his leather jacket at home and for something a little less screaming rockstar. He wore blue pants with a black v-shirt. He decided to wear his glasses today and his blue beanie. He checked one last time if he had his phone and his wallet and left his hotel room before the boys came to tease him a bit more. Blaine stepped into the car that was waiting for him.
Once inside he gave the driver the instructions and looked outside the window, lost in thoughts. He was interrupted by the driver who asked him how late he should be picked up. Blaine snapped out of his thoughts and realised they were at the Lima Bean.
“I don't know. I'll call you to let you know. Thank you for driving!” Blaine left the car, looking once around to see if there were any paparazzi around but he didn't see anyone.
He walked into the Lima Bean. In the corner, far away from the windows, sat Kurt. He seemed lost in the book he was reading while his coffee cup was standing on the table. Blaine ordered his coffee, a medium drip, and went to the table. “I thought I was supposed to buy you coffee because I bumped into you.”
Kurt looked up from his book with a smile on his face. He pulled the book in his bag and looked up again. “You can always pay for the next one.”
Blaine smiled and sat down on the other side of the table. “You look different today, no leather jacket. I like it, especially the glasses!”
Blaine felt himself blush a little. “You look amazing yourself.” Kurt's cheeks turned red and Blaine didn't think he had ever seen someone so cute in his life.
They talked for hours about their lives in New York, where they came from, what their favourite music is and so on. They found out that they competed against each other during the competition season from glee-club and were both stunned they didn't remember each other. It was a fun afternoon with lots of coffee where Blaine got the chance to buy Kurt his coffee as promised. They also split a cookie. It seemed like they had known each other for their whole lifetime.
Blaine had never felt so at ease talking to someone he barely knew. Blaine was happy that Kurt didn't seem to ask about his “famous life”. He seemed more interested to get to know Blaine and it made him feel happy.
Blaine looked at his watch after their third cup of coffee and saw it was already very late. He had to get going because tomorrow they left for their last two shows. He was excited knowing that the last show would be in New York city. “I have to get going. I have a plane to catch tomorrow evening and I still have to pack and visit my parents. I had so much fun this afternoon!”
Kurt seemed to have liked the afternoon himself. “Yeah I had a good time myself. Thank you for the coffee.”
“Oh that's no problem… so, when are you back in New York if I may ask?”
Kurt looked a bit confused but answered anyway. “I leave to New York the day after tomorrow. I'll be glad to be home again.”
“Well, I have two more shows to play and the last show is in New York city in 4 days. Would you like to come?” Blaine knew Kurt and him would be great friends and who know maybe more in the future. He would love to see him again.
Kurt seemed surprised but also very happy with the idea. “I would love that. You know I can give you my number and you can send me the details and I'll be there.”
Kurt wrote his number on a napkin and gave it to Blaine who was texting the driver to pick him up. They walked together out of the Lima Bean.
“Thank you for today. I send you the details soon.” Blaine looked around if there were any paparazzi but didn't find any. He turned to Kurt and gave him a massive hug. Kurt tensed at first but seemed to relax after a while. That's when the car arrived. “See you later.” Blaine walked away with one last wave and went into the car. He saw Kurt walking to his own car a bit further. The driver drove him back to the hotel while Blaine pulled Kurt's number in his phone. He sent him a quick text: Thank you for today. Now you have my number 2! :) Blaine .
Blaine walked to his hotel room and was trying to open his door when he heard some doors open. He didn't have to turn around to know it were Jeff, Wes and David. He opened the door, left it open and went to sit on his bed. The boys followed after him with huge smiles on their faces.
“So … how did it go blainey?”
“Don't call me that David! It went alright.”
“Like alright alright as in you are going to meet again?”
“Yeah as in alright alright we are going to meet again.” There it was again the small blush forming on his face. He had known the boys would want to know about the date but he had at least hoped to have a moment for himself.
“Man just tell us about your coffee date we want to know!” And with that Blaine told them about the coffee date.
“Blaine, when are you going to meet again?” Jeff was always the most subtle one. He wouldn't tease as much as David and Wes because he knew it made Blaine feel a little uncomfortable.
“The last show is in New York and Kurt lives in New York. I wanted to put a ticket aside so he can be close to the stage and afterwards he can come backstage.” The boys seemed to like the idea because they all wanted to see Kurt again.
“We can take care of that.”
“Please, just don't embarrass me boys. I know you love to do that but for once just be nice.”
After that the boys talked a bit longer about their playlist for the next day. After a little over an hour, the boys went each to their separate rooms, leaving Blaine alone. Blaine took a shower and tried to pack his bags because he knew he wouldn't have a lot of time tomorrow to do that. Once everything was packed, he jumped on his bed. That was when he got a text. I loved today 2. Thank you for the coffee. Can't wait to see you again in New York! Have a safe flight tomorrow. Kurt. With that Blaine fell asleep, excited to be back in New York again.
