He grabbed his phone and scrolled to Blaine's name where he was given two options. 'Dial' and 'Compose Message'. For the first time he hit 'Dial'.
"Hello?" Came a voice. It was slightly muffled, as if the speaker had a cold.
"Hey Blaine..."
"Kurt?"
"Um, yep..."
"Wow... I can't believe you're actually calling me."
"Well... I did. Oh, and I want to just establish that I'm not revealing myself to be a girl who's been pretending to be a guy... I just happen to sound like a girl."
Kurt heard Blaine laugh and hoped to Gaga that he'd be able to hear that laugh again.
"I don't think you sound like a girl."
"Then you'd be the first person to think that."
"Your voice is sweet. And not that I'm complaining but why are you calling?"
"I thought you could do with hearing a friendly voice and that maybe text just wasn't going to cut it this time."
"Thanks, that's so nice of you."
"Oh please, how much of your time have I wasted complaining about my silly problems?"
"Your problems are not silly, Kurt."
"Maybe not, but I didn't call to talk about me."
"So what do you want to talk about?"
"You, silly. How are you? Really?"
"Um... Mortified. I told all my friends about Jeremiah. 'Raved' about him is probably more accurate. I don't know what I'm going to tell them now."
"Why not just tell them the truth?"
"They'll think that I'm a massive idiot."
"If they are really your friends then they won't."
"How do you know that?"
"Because I'm your friend and I don't think that at all."
"Well I still think I'm the world's biggest fool."
"You'd have some fierce competition from me for that title."
"What do you mean?"
"When you first told me... that you liked a guy that you met from the internet, I thought the guy you were talking about... was me."
"Wow... I really am clueless. Kurt, as you may have guessed, I don't have a clue what I'm doing."
"Well that makes two of us."
"I really care about you Kurt. I like being your friend and I don't want to mess this up."
"I know, I get it."
"So are we okay?"
"Of course. It's just like When Harry met Sally, but I get to be Meg Ryan."
"Deal. Wait, in that movie don't they get together at the end?"
"Do they? Hmmm..."
Blaine laughed again and Kurt felt butterflies in his stomach.
"Thanks, Kurt. I mean it."
"Don't worry about it."
"It means a lot to me. That even after I was kind of an oblivious douche to you... you'd still try to cheer me up."
"Blaine, you're pretty much my best friend. If things had gone well for you today with he-who-shall-not-be-named, I would have been happy for you."
"Was that a Harry Potter reference?"
"Harry Potter is amazing."
"Hey, I wouldn't disagree with that."
"Don't tell Rachel okay?"
"That Harry Potter is amazing?"
"That I said you were my best friend."
"Ok, and I won't tell her that you're my best friend too."
"And he's just as smooth over the phone as he is in text."
"Way smoother actually. You know I still haven't heard you sing?"
"Mm...Don't push it."
"If we were on msn I would be typing a sad face right now."
Kurt laughed, causing Blaine to start laughing again too.
"Poor Blaine," Rachel sighed, leaning on the piano in the choir room. "It means he is available though, right?"
"I guess," Kurt replied from the other side of the piano. "I just don't think Blaine see's me like that. I think I could be okay with just being friends though, you know?"
"I do know. In fact I've decided to forget about moping over Finn and trying to get him back. I'm going to focus on my talent instead," Rachel declared, proudly.
"Good for you Rachel," Kurt said, wondering how long that would actually last for. "You and your talent can help me pick a song for regionals."
Rachel smiled at him. "I already have the perfect song. And it's Broadway."
Kurt: Hey Blaine!
Blaine: Hey :)
Kurt: How was your day?
Blaine: It was good actually, i told my friends about what happened with... you-know-who
Kurt: And?
Blaine: They were really understanding and supportive, then they asked if i wanted to sing about it...
Kurt: LOL maybe our glee clubs aren't so different after all
Blaine: I think we've decided on our 'Anthem' for regionals
Kurt: Us too! What's yours?
Blaine: Raise your glass - Pink!
Kurt: Pink! of course
Blaine: Well what's yours?
Kurt: Sing - MCR
Blaine: Hmm good choice
Kurt: Although for some reason half the group wanted a Justin Beiber song...
Blaine: What's wrong with that?
Kurt: Beiber sucks?
Blaine: I like his hair
Kurt: ... anyway Rachel helped me pick out a song for my solo and I need your opinion
Blaine: Oh! What is it?
Kurt: Don't cry for me Argentina from Evita
Blaine: Wow, I bet you'll sound amazing singing that
Kurt: I know I'll sound amazing. But you don't think it might be too... controversial? I don't want to alienate the judges
Blaine: No way. It's not like you're getting up there and singing Rocky Horror
Kurt: No, definitely not after last time
Blaine: What? There was a last time? ?
Kurt: Well we did the Rocky Horror Picture Show as our school musical this year
Blaine: With all the stuff that goes on there... how is your school still open?
Kurt: To be fair the show did get cancelled before opening night for being too risqué but we still performed it for ourselves
Blaine: Please tell me you weren't Frank-N-Furter
Kurt: LOL no, I was Riff-Raff
Blaine: If I proposed doing Rocky Horror at my school I think people's heads would explode
Kurt: Hopefully next year they pick something less controversial. I'd like to be able to put down at least one musical performance down in my college application
Blaine: Ah college, I keep forgetting you're a year ahead of me. What do you want to do when you graduate?
Kurt: I'm going to star on Broadway
Blaine: Wow, big dreams
Kurt: I suppose being a fashion designer would also be amazing, but Broadway is what I'm aiming for. To be honest I'll be happy just to get out of this cow-town
Blaine: I get that, I'm from a small town too
Kurt was distracted from his conversation by his phone beeping at him.
From Rachel: Saturday night. Party at my house. No adult supervision. Glee kids ONLY!
Kurt: Looks like I'm going to a party Saturday night
