Kurt walked into school, loosening the scarf around his neck. February was upon Ohio - and Kurt had plenty of new fashion ideas to show off. He started walking towards French, excited to finally see Blaine. They ended up not seeing each other at all that weekend after coffee and Blaine didn't return any of his texts. He found that a little odd, but he busied himself with homework and being with Elliot.
For the first time in his life, Kurt was actually excited for Valentines Day. He had an amazing boyfriend that he couldn't wait to spend the special day with.
As the final bell rang, Kurt noticed Blaine wasn't in class. This was the first time Blaine had missed this semester. Kurt was a little worried because he didn't know what was wrong with Blaine. To ease his concern he sent off a quick text.
To: Blaine (7:47)
Blaine are you okay? I'm a little worried. Just let me know :)
He sat through the entire French lecture without a single text from Blaine. He is probably still sleeping - its early Kurt thought.
By the time off hours rolled around he still hadn't heard anything. He was bored out of his mind because Blaine wasn't there to distract him. Kurt actually did all his homework during his free time.
In the middle of his last period, his phone buzzed. He was mildly disappointed to see it was Elliot.
From: Ell
We still on for tonight? I miss you. Xoxo
Kurt responded with a ‘yes' and started packing up his things. He would just talk to Blaine when he got back tomorrow - because tonight he had a date.
Except Kurt didn't see Blaine Tuesday, or Wednesday or the rest of the week. He also hadn't heard from him.
He was really worried, so when Glee was over on Friday, he went straight to Blaine's.
Blaine wasn't really sick. He knew it, and his parents knew it. But they also knew he needed time. Time to think and to be away from school and friends.
The first day he stayed home, all he did was sleep. Blaine was exhausted from all the crying he had done the night before. His brother brought him tea and soup and other little snacks throughout the day. He smiled weakly at her every time and she just cupped his cheek and would kiss his forehead.
He got multiple texts and calls from Kurt, but he just ignored them. Blaine really needed his space to think and just be away from Kurt.
And that's what he did. He turned off his phone and he thought.
He liked Kurt. A lot. But when he really thought about it, they hadn't really known each other that long. Sure they had done almost everything together but did they really know each little part of the others life? No. Getting over this crush should be easy. But then Blaine thought about how he had already gotten attached easily and his feelings for Kurt had grown immensely in the past few weeks.
Kurt had the most beautiful eyes, and the most flawless skin. And he was funny and sweet and they never ran out of things to talk about. But then Elliot's words cam slamming to the front of his brain - and then he remembered that Kurt had a boyfriend.
He groaned and fell back into his bed - hands rubbing over his face.
He needed to get over this damn crush.
"Blaine!" his mother yelled from downstairs. "You have a guest!"
Blaine shot up from his bed and looked at his reflection in the mirror. He looked bad. His eyes had bags from the lack of sleep and going a week without shaving wasn't really working for him.
Still he pulled on a shirt with his sweat pants and then head down stairs. His mother pointed to the living room and smiled sadly.
He walked through the archway and saw Kurt sitting on the couch, hands on his lap.
"Uhm - hey Kurt."
Kurt looked up and smiled, rushing over to him and engulfing him into a hug. "Blaine! Oh my god! Are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
"Are you sure?"
"Yep."
"Good." Kurt then shoved Blaine in the shoulder.
"Hey! Ow! What was that for?"
"You haven't talked to me all week! I thought you died!"
"I turned off my phone - sorry."
"Why?"
"I just... needed tome to think." Blaine said, looking down at the floor.
"About what?" Kurt said, pulling him over to the couch.
"Just life. Really Kurt I'm okay. I'm all good now."
"Blaine no offense but you look like shit. What's up honestly?"
"I just needed time to think. Which I did - and I'm fine - now why am I being graced with your presence?"
Kurt laughed. "Well Ell is having a Valentines Day party and you are definitely coming!"
"I don't know -."
"Please Blaine! Please, we need to hang out more and you will have so much fun!"
"Kurt I don't -."
"Blaaiiinnneee come on. Please!"
"Fine." Blaine said with a sigh.
"Awesome! Ell even has a guy he wants you to meet."
"Wait what?"
"There is someone you need to meet. So look nice Blaine, none of this sweat pants, hoodie, non-shaven look."
"Hey! I like this."
"Just don't do it for the party okay?"
"Okay I won't."
"Great! Now I gotta go, so I better see you at school on Monday."
"You will."
Kurt smiled and then hugged Blaine before heading out.
Great, a Valentines Day party with my crush and his boyfriend, awesome Blaine thought as he flopped back onto his couch.
