"Legs farther apart! Come on! I know you can all stretch em wider given how you spend your nights!"

Blaine gritted his teeth - both for the sake of stopping himself from saying something hed regret to Coach Washington and also because it already felt like his leg might tear off at the peak of his thigh. There was no point to this exercise except for her to torture them, and while the girls might be able to do the splits without consequence, Blaine always had to worry about that thing he had between his legs getting crushed while it was being pulled - something Coach Washington clearly had no empathy for.

Two more months of this, then summer. Competition season was over now and while the Spartans had come close each and every time, they hadnt beat out the Sirens at any events. Without Kurt though, they had definitely lost an edge, but without Kurt, Blaine had no reason to develop anything showier than he already had. There was no one to impress… well… aside from the judges, but Blaine wasnt as worried about them.

"Well I have an acupuncture session to get to, so I guess you cretins can go shower and Ill see you on Wednesday!" Coach Washington finally announced, looking down at her wrist even though there was no watch on it.

Blaine groaned and brought his legs back together, sitting for awhile to let the burn in them cool before going to the showers. Santana took this as invitation to come sit by him, immediately breaking into her favorite topic of conversation.

"So… spring break."

"Yeah. Spring break. No Im not going to join you girls on your crazy jaunt to the coast. I feel like Id probably be babysitting by trying to ensure your tops remained on. Moreover I dont have the cash for it."

Santana smirked, and for a moment Blaine was sure he had anticipated what she was going to say accurately. Then, of course, she had to correct him.

"Actually, I was going to say that Lima is kind of nice this time of year. If youre into small, hick towns that is."

Blaines cheeks went rosy and he looked towards his lap. "Hes pretty insistive that were just friends Santana…."

"Great! Friends! Doesnt mean you both cant access the benefits part since, yknow, you already have."

A groan fell from Blaines lips. "Its not like I dont want to Santana… its just…"

"Yeah, yeah… hes suddenly taken a vow of chastity. How boring."

"Not even that… I just dont want to rush whatever it is he feels he needs to do… I like him. Im willing to wait until hes ready to move along… Im just hoping he still does when he finds what hes looking for."

There was a snort and Blaine glanced up to see Santana shaking her head, "I just dont see how he thinks he can find it working on engines in Lima of all places."

"You just tried to sell Lima to me as a spring vacation site."

"Right. Forget what I said then."

Blaine chuckled, getting up and getting himself into the locker room to shower and get changed. He would have been lying if he said he didnt think about Kurt pressing him up against the tiles of the shower and taking Blaines cock into his mouth everytime he went in there. Just because of that memory, the showers in the change room had to be Blaines favorite place on campus.

He grabbed a doughnut and a coffee on the way to his room, where he immediately dove into his computer chair and logged in, beaming brightly as he saw he had a message waiting from Kurt.

So I was knew this girl in high school whos made it big on Broadway and I saw she posted about needing extras in a play shes in. Well I asked her about it and she set up an audition for me tomorrow! Im so excited I might burst! I probably wont be able to send any messages after this because Im going straight to the train station once I send this. Wish me luck! - Kurt

Blaines smile faltered a little. On the one hand he was excited for Kurt to finally be given a chance to realize his talent on a Broadway stage, even if it was as a background character, on the other hand, Kurt going to New York and realizing his dream of the stage would put him even farther away from Blaine.

Not that Blaine had seen Kurt since he had left. Ohio or New York, it was all the same at this point. Kurt was becoming more of a fantasy than a reality, and he had to wonder how sane he was to obsess so much over a man that wasnt even around to appreciate it.

Staring at the screen for longer than necessary, Blaine rolled his lips in and out from between his front teeth as he tried to figure out how to respond to the message, or if he should at all. He could send a message of good luck, but would Kurt even receive it in time? Would he care if he got it?

Eventually he did type out a little message, wishing Kurt good luck, telling him to break a leg, and then asking Kurt to let him know how it went when he had a chance. He hoped it was enough.

Kurts in NYC! Auditioning for some play that troll in high school is playing in!

AuntieSnix

FondueForMew
My parents take me to New York all the time to see the shows. Says it gives me culture.

AuntieSnix
Huh. Well. How about that.

KittysKorner
