Kurt.  I think I have vertigo.

Excuse me?

You left me on the couch, I tried to get up and pretty much just fell over.

That sore? :P

AND

I think you exploded my brain.

My mission is complete then

So, did I pass my weekend-long Kurt 101 final?

I’m still grading it

That’s so unfair!

Exams take a while to grade, Blaine

You should know that

I just want to know how I did.

What Professor Hummel liked and didn’t like about my presentation.

If you come to my office at some point today, I will gladly tell you

(my office meaning my apartment, I don’t work today)

[10 minutes later]

Vertigo.

Does Nurse Kurt have to come over?

I am inclined to say yes, but I’m afraid I’ll be even worse when you leave.

Awwww... we can’t have that, can we?

Well, I mean, we can...

I don’t have to go anywhere for like a month.

But you’ll have to stay with me, because I can hardly get off the floor.

You’ll have to get off the floor at some point

Callbacks is having a Christmas themed night on Friday

Rachel is trying to convince me to sing

OMG

Kurt OMG Please?!

You have to sing!

OMG

I’ll do anything you want.

Anything?

Anything.

Well, then I can’t turn an offer like that down

I should hope not.  I mean, that’s pretty open-ended.

So we’re going to Callbacks together on Friday then?

OMG yes.  I’ll need to scrape myself off the floor before then.

I’ll come over and help.  Or I’ll send Nurse Rachel, so there’s no chance of you getting worse

I’d so much rather you come over than her.

Haha alright.  She’s better than she was when we went carolling

She was just upset because Brody cancelled

Oh, and I wasn’t charming enough for her?  Kurt, I made a checkmark motion on my imaginary Christmas list and she rolled her eyes at me.

She was in Glee too?  I mean she sings well, but she’s a little dramatic.

I know, there’s something she’s not telling me.  She was a little too huffy that night

Yes, she was.  She got practically every solo too because our director thought she was the greatest thing in the world

I was going to say that I was glad that I was captain back at Dalton, because I could take the solos for myself, but that pretty much just makes me her.

Yeah.  No offense, but the Warblers were sort of Blaine and the Pips.

[silence]

Sorry

It wasn’t my fault.

I know.  It was Wes.  Just remember that I saw it all through Seb’s eyes

[10 minutes later]

I should have seen it through Sebastian’s eyes.

Seen you through his eyes too.

We shouldn’t talk about this

We found each other now.  Love each other now.  Wes and Sebastian are happy with each other.  Things worked out

I like how things are.

So do I

I like you.

I like you too

You’re my favorite.

Adore you

Never letting go of you.

Never saying goodbye

It’s a good thing that I’m already on the floor because I probably would have just melted there anyway.

I’ll be there in ten to cuddle

You’re going to have to mop me up first.

I can do that

Thank you.  If you can’t find me, I’m in front of the couch.

Okay.  Love you.  Only you.

Only you.

December 11

Blaine.  I need to talk to you

What’s up, Rach?

Could you meet me at Starbucks?

Sure, now?

Please.  I’m actually already there

Shoes on, getting my coat, and I’ll be there as soon as I can cut through the park.

Okay, thanks

Rachel puts her phone down on the table, frowning into her cup of hot chocolate

Blaine makes it to the coffee shop in record time, and doesn’t even go to the counter to order anything when he gets there.  Instead, he immediately finds Rachel.

“You okay?”

“Not really.  I didn’t really want to talk about this with Kurt because he’d worry too much.”

Blaine sits down in the chair next to Rachel.

“Something you can’t talk about with your best friend?  Rachel, what happened?”

“It was back in the middle of October.  A week or so before you and Kurt, um, met.  And Brody and I were fighting.  And then we made up, and... we didn’t use... and...”

“You didn’t... Oh.  OH.  Rachel.  Are you...?”

“I... I don’t know... I... I missed in November, and I guess I’ll know in a couple of days if I’m going to miss, but... I might be.  I haven’t bought a test yet.  And I haven’t told Brody.”

“Oh my God, Rach.  Rachel.  What are you doing?  You need to find out.  And tell him.  Do you want me to, like, pick up a test or something?”

“Would you do that for me?  Really?  I... oh, god, I hope I’m not... but I think I am... I don’t know how to tell him, though.”

“You’re going to have to tell him sometime.  I-if you are.”

“I know... I... thank you for listening.  I’ve been terrified to tell Kurt.  I guess my biggest fear is that Brody would leave me.  I mean, he’s already a bit distant.”

“Of course.  I really think you need to talk to Kurt, too.  I think he’ll probably even be upset that you came to me first and not him, cause that’s how he is.  As for Brody, if he’s going to be a jerk, I’ll take care of him.”

“Okay... thank you Blaine.  I’ll talk to Kurt.  At least it’s not a teen pregnancy, if it is that, hey?  One of my friends got pregnant in high school.  Not fun.”

“I think I remember hearing about her.  Maybe.  Or maybe I’m just thinking of MTV.  Also, you should tell Kurt as soon as possible, because I am going to avoid talking to him until you do.  Don’t want to risk spilling it.”

“Alright.  I’m going to go back to the apartment and wait for him.  I’m sorry I called you out, but you were the first person I thought of.  I mean, you know why I didn’t say anything to Kurt or Brody, Chandler’s a jerk, and Sebbie would just worry.”

“It’s okay.  I mean, I think you and I have a lot in common.  Among those things is we tend to need someone to spill really intimate things to at strange times.”

Blaine leans over and wraps his arms around Rachel, giving her a warm hug, cringing slightly at the mention of Sebastian.

“I’m your friend.  Don’t forget that.”

Rachel gives a small giggle and leans into Blaine’s hug.

“You got that right.  I won’t forget it.  I’m your friend too.  So don’t be afraid to talk to me.”

“I won’t.  Now go get a test.  And I want to know the results.”

“Okay.  You will.  Talk to you later, Blainey.”

Rachel stands up, leaving her empty mug.

Blaine remains at the table for a while after Rachel leaves, eventually ordering himself a drink so that he can stay there, though he isn’t much in the mood for coffee.

That evening, Kurt’s fingers fly as he types out a text to Blaine.

ashghfjkladhgjkfhalgfhdjklghfjklghafjklhfalghfdhgjkldfhjaghfjadlghlfjkhgjlahfg

Oh yeah?

ashgajklhdfgkafkg

Everything okay?

I’m dying

Please don’t die!  I haven’t gotten to hear you sing solo yet.  Well, recently.

Rach just told me she might be pregnant

ashkdghjkflahjkdfgh

WHAT?!

Yeah.  I got home and she was standing there holding the unopened test and she just told me and ashkfhldjkghdg my Rachie

Woah.  Did she take the test yet?

Taking it now

I can’t breathe

Oh my god.  

She’s been in there for a few minutes now

You just pee on it, don’t you?

Yeah, I think she’s just hiding from me while she waits for the result

How long is it supposed to take?

A few minutes

Blaineblinalieanllblainablinablaine

OMG

Rachel

Positive

OMG

Woah.

Now I have to tell Kurt

You should probably do that.

Is she still in there?

Yeah

no

[10 minutes later]

Damn

She’s pregnant

OMG

She’s currently sobbing on the couch

Does she need anything?

I can be errand boy.

Ice cream. Lots of ice cream

Flavor?

Strawberry

Done.  Be there in like, 20.

Great, thanks Blaine.

December 12

How is she?

She’s okay.  Still really upset about it.  Trying to figure out how she’ll tell Brody

I hope he’s not an ass about it.

Also, this in unrelated, but I was out at the coffee shop earlier, and when I came back, there was this flyer taped to my door for the Christmas event thing at Callbacks.  No one else had one on their door.  It’s a sign, Kurt.  I can’t wait for Friday.

So do I.  And oh?  That’s weird.  But yes, also a sign.  Two more days~

Two!  Well, one and a half, really.  It’s almost 2.

I’m so excited!  I know what I’m going to sing and everything

Oooooh what is it?

You’re going to have to wait and seeeeeeee~

Kurt... come on.  I’ll do that thing you like...

What is that thing I like?

The one that makes you grab on the sheets and barely be able to breathe.

I’m not going to tell you.  No matter what you do

I wasn’t going to stop doing that anyway.

Just offering incentive.

Should I be working on something too?

If you want

I mean, I’ve reserved a spot, it’s going to be busy

But I really want to sing this song

I can just let you sing.  You deserve the spotlight.  I mean, you’re the star.  My star.

That’s sweet of you <3

My snowflake.

My hero, keeping me upright when we go skating

I preferred the part where we fell.

That was pretty fun

That was my favorite night.

We said I love you the first time that night.

We did.  I remember.  That was the best night

I have a hard time deciding which is my favorite after that though.  It all sort of ties.

I would have to agree there.

Love you.

Love you so much more

Actually, I don’t think it’s possible for someone to love anyone as much as I love you.  I mean, my heart just exploded and I’m in a puddle on my living room floor again.

You are so precious

Just did it again.

It is really hard for me to not just get up and come to your apartment

But I need to stay here

I’m wearing sweatpants anyway.

You and your sweatpants

Rachel wants me to rehearse my song in front of her

Talk to you later?

Sure.  Have fun Kurtlet.

Love you Blainey

Love you more.  GO.  NO TEXTS BACK.

December 13

I don’t know if I can perform tomorrow

What? Why?

I haven’t actually performed in front of an audience like that in a long time

Just pick one person and sing to them.  I do that from time to time.  Usually I pick you.

Okay... I’m not nervous or anything.  Just... idk.  Ignore me

I could never ignore you.  I think that’s pretty evident.

You are the sweetest

I’m just telling the truth.

Rachel’s finally calming down about her bun in the oven

Can you imagine that kid... I hope it’s a little girl.

Oh, a mini Rachel.  She’d be singing the moment she could talk.  Dancing the moment she could walk.  Although I wouldn’t put it past Rach to do the same thing with a little boy either

You’re right.  I just always picture a little girl with dark curly hair whenever people talk about having kids.  

So, like, a little mini female version of you?

Would she be bombarded with origami snowflakes?

She’ll definitely know how to make them. I’d take her sledding and build snowmen with her, and make snow angels.

My kid would be the best dressed child ever

That’s for sure.

Kurt.

Yes, Blaine?

What if your best dressed child ever and my pretty little girl with the dark curls were the same person?

[silence]

“RACHEL!”

“Yes?”

“Blaine just as good as asked me to have a kid with him.”

“WHAAAAAT?! REALLY?”

“Ye-yes.  I don’t know what to say.  I’m just... I’m dying here, Rach, he just asked me to have a kid with him.”

“Kurtie... come here.”

Rachel hugs Kurt and they squeal together for a moment.

Kurt?

I didn’t mean for that to be weird.

Kurt.

I just meant like... you know...

Oh god.

No, Blaine.  I just had to talk to Rachel about something.

I would love that (unsent)

That would be really amazing.  That kid would have the best life

I thought for a second... you might have been freaking out. (unsent)

She’d be the best dressed kindergartener.

Oh, yes.  She would.  Teh best dressed one of all.

With the prettiest hair.

She wouldn’t be allowed to use gel though

You’d never let her out of the house that way.

And she would never wear sweatpants

That you saw.  When you’re not home, her and I are going to wear sweatpants and dance around singing top 40 hits.

…

But neither of us will have gel in our hair.  In fact, I’m going to try hairspray for tomorrow night.  I’m starting now.

Really?????

I bought some this morning.

Oh, Blaine, I can’t wait to see what it looks like

Neither can I.  I hope it’s not terrible.

It won’t be

You know I’ll help you if something doesn’t go right with it

I know.  I’m just counting on it being perfect.  Tomorrow is going to be so amazing.  I get to hear you do a solo.  It’s going to be the perfect night.

Perfect night indeed.

Thanks for making me feel better

Of course.  I’d do anything for you.

I love you

I love you.
