November 6th

Kurt, I just got my new phone. (unsent)

You’re the first person I’m texting on my new phone. (unsent)

I guess it would help if I had your number. (unsent)

Did you text him today?

No.

:)

[20 minutes later]

You wanna do something, just us, later?

Like a date?  Why, Mr. Anderson, I’d be honored.

:) I was thinking we could see a movie or go for a walk in the park, or maybe get coffee.

You and your coffee.

I know, I know.  It’s an addiction.

I’ll have to change that coffee addiction to a Wes addiction.

Haha, I’d like to see you try.

Oh you will.  Trust me.

I’ll be home in a half hour.

Okay. :)

November 7th

*poke*

Um, hi? Who's this?

Oh, right.  You broke your phone.  You probably have a new phone.  It's Kurt

I do have a new one. I'm not supposed to be texting you.

Why not?

Well. According to Wes, after we texted the other day, your roommate texted him thinking he was me.

She said you have a crush on me. (Unsent)

ohmigosh I'm so sorry.  She gets nosy when she's concerned

Its okay. Wes and I had a screaming match.

Really?

I fixed it by saying I wouldn't text you anymore.

He's the jealous type.

Oh, I see

Yeah, I kinda got that

But. I was wondering....

Yes?

Is it weird to have a secret friend?

I don't... think so?

Cause I don't really want to lose you (Unsent)

Cause I like talking to u

You*

So, wait.  You're going to keep texting me, then?  Even though your boyfriend isn't happy with it?

...yeah

If that's okay with you

Yeah.  Yeah, it's okay.

Do you really have a crush on me?

Crap

Crapcrapcrap

Uh nevermind that.

Where the hell did that come from? (unsent)

I don't think I can just ignore something like that

Oh God.

Wes said that Rachel said you thought you had a crush on me.

Oh god

I can't believe I sent that.

Oh god.  Oh god.  Oh god.  Oh god.

I am going to have a word with her

No don't.

Just

Omg

.....do you?

I am going to go die now (unsent)

Blaine.  I am in a committed, healthy, happy relationship

[Silence]

Well I screwed that up.(unsent)

I don't want things to change between us

No I mean, I'm also in a relationship. It's cool. I just for some reason couldn't help but ask. Apparently.

But I wish you did. (Unsent)

Can I ask you something?

Of course

Do you remember me?  Wes remembered me

When I saw you at the coffee shop, I knew you from somewhere, but I couldn't figure out where.

Then I had this feeling

And I'm sorry about that whole thing

What whole thing?

Blaine?

The incident with the twinkle lights.

Oh.  It's okay

I... can be impulsive sometimes.

Do you really think I am a jerk?

I wanna clear something up first.  So, you do vaguely remember me being a part of the Warblers?

When Wes reminded me, I knew where you looked familiar from. You weren't there long though. And I don't think we ever talked.

I wasn't.  And we didn't.

Do I need to tell you who my boyfriend is or do you know?

Wes told me.

He said he invited you two for coffee but the invite wasn't well taken.

Seb told me

He wasn't very fond of either of you back at Dalton

So, you do think I'm a jerk then.

I never said that

Wes didnt like Sebastian either.

Why not?

Wes is kind of an alpha.

What, did Seb challenge him for leadership or something?

You could say that.

He didn't tell me too much about Warbler politics, just that he didn't agree with you being captain

I was new then. Wes took me under his wing. He was on the council. Captain. They started giving me the solos, then Wes made me captain. I'm not sure how he got the other guys to agree, cause I was so new, but it happened.

Sebastian didn't like that.

Well, Seb had been around longer, right?  How is it fair that a new guy gets to be captain?

I know, I know.

God. I am a jerk.

I was too excited to be captain to contest anything.

Kurt.

You sang Blackbird when Pavarotti died.

I did

I remember that. Very well.

You do? (unsent)

oh?

Yes

That was when Seb realized he loved me (unsent)

That was one of my more emotional performances

I could have fallen in love with you right then. (Unsent)

It was very good. Tell me again why you're not a performer?

I didn't get into NYADA, which was the school of my dreams.  So I was going to take a year off, but something came up and I moved to New York.  I got an internship with Vogue.  Fashion caught my eye

Well, I mean, I've always loved fashion.  I should say the fashion industry caught my eye

You should sing again.

I mean, Callbacks is cool.

I don't know...

Callbacks is sorta my roommate's thing

Don't worry, I highly doubt I'll be going there any time soon.

;)

You won't?  Why not?

Last time was a little... crazy I guess

You're amazing.  Better than you were at Dalton, and that's saying something since you were incredible there

Oh don't get me wrong, I love singing.

Then what's going on?

Like I said. Last time was a little crazy.

What was so crazy about it?

I didn't expect anyone I knew to be there.

Meaning me?

Yeah...

[silence]

Kurt?

[silence]

My big mouth.

[silence]

That song was for you. (Unsent)

Well this is awkward

[silence]

Listen, maybe Wes is right and this is wrong

I need to shut my mouth or break my other hand to prevent these things.

I'm sorry, there was just stuff going on at the apartment

Rachel tried to burn down the place

Ha

Yeah, she's horrible in the kitchen

Well don't let her burn your place down.

I would miss you (unsent)

It's under control now

she's on couch arrest.  I'm texting you between checking on the food

Oh you're a chef too?

I'm no Chef Ramsay, but I'm a good deal better than my roommate

Noted. I can't cook for my life.

I can bake cookies though

No shame in that

I don't do it often. I used to bake Eli cookies at least twice a year.

I may know this, but Eli?

Oh. My former boyfriend

Oh

Yeah.

So....

I can't believe it's snowing

Funny you should mention that.

I'm on my way home from Starbucks right now, and it's just... wow.  and oh?

Really? I'm in Madison Square Park.

And didn't you say that your roommate was just burning your house down?

Sorry?

Weren’t you just at your house cooking a couple minutes ago?

Kurt stares at his phone in shock, realizing his blunder

[silence]

Kurt.

Where are you?

Blaine steps out to the sidewalk at the corner of 26th and 5th Ave, not sure exactly what he’s doing.

I'm walking home from Starbucks.  I was at Starbucks the entire conversation.  And I'm well past the park by now

Blaine, on a whim, starts jogging up the street.  He really doesn’t know what he was doing, aside from following his instincts.

You lied? (Unsent)

Kurt speeds up

Kurt...

I'm at the corner of 29th street

I'm stopping here

Blaine runs.

Hi

Stopping on the sidewalk, too far away from Kurt to speak to him, Blaine stares, unsure.

Hi...

Come here, I'll explain everything.  I just don't think I should say it over text

Blaine swallows hard, his heart suddenly taking residence in his throat as he stops, finally face to face with his accidental mistext.

"Hello Blaine"
