Blaine: Are you hiding?
Kurt: Of course
Blaine: Finn’s online?
Kurt: and rachel
I think they’re fighting
i’m not sure if she’s laughing or crying
she’s listening to adele
Blaine: probably crying then
but they’re not dating?
Kurt: no, they haven’t been together for a couple of years
but it’s like every once in awhile they hook up
and Rachel was in Ohio 4th of July weekend
and they were at a party
and
dot
dot
dot
Blaine: oooooh
sounds complicated
possibly overwrought
Kurt: That’s a good way to describe them
one time in high school they got engaged
Blaine: am i allowed to roll my eyes?
Kurt: of course
Blaine: *eye roll*
Kurt: anyway, I don’t think they can help themselves
Blaine: I’m nodding, you can’t see me though
Kurt: no, you’re right, nodding doesn’t translate well to IM
perhaps we should take this to Skype?
@ 9:37 pm
Blaine: oh
my camera isn’t working
maybe next time
Kurt: yeah sure
How are the little a-holes?
Blaine: Surprisingly less a-holey than usual
No one slapped anyone this week
or peed in the pool
which I’m taking as a personal victory
Kurt: I would too
I’m sure it’s only under your watchful eye that they’ve learned to behave themselves
getting back to the matter at hand though
Blaine: ?
Kurt: Do you like to cry to adele, blaine?
Blaine: it’s the only way to cry
Kurt: ok
so they make a movie of your life
what song has to go on the soundtrack?
Blaine: omg
i love this question
we haven’t really talked about music
Kurt: no we haven’t
we’ve been too busy mocking people in our class
and comparing eccentricities
i suppose music is a pedestrian topic compared to your sims recent divorce
are you a music lover?
Blaine: YES
I want to be a music teacher actually
(side note: I’d been toying with being a kindergarten teacher but camp ruined 5 year olds for me.)
I play piano and guitar
I write stuff
music
lyrics
sometimes
crappy stuff
but i love the process
Kurt: hello, enthusiasm!
I love music too
I was in glee club in high school
Blaine: i wish I had the nerve to be involved in high school
Kurt: it was definitely the best part of hs for me
good times
Blaine: Waiting for my real life to begin by Colin Hay
that would be my soundtrack song
I can picture the montage already
what about you?
Kurt: I should never ask questions
that i myself don’t know the answer to
Blaine: lol
Kurt: I could take the easy way out and say Born This Way
but I feel like there’s something else
hmm
Blaine: Sometimes there’s nothing wrong with taking the easy way
Kurt: that’s sort of profound blaine
Blaine: i know!
it’s impressive
sometimes I channel fortune cookie wisdom
Kurt: you’re a regular confuscious
Blaine: I think we need a font for wry-ness
Kurt: I’ll add it to the list
now we have:
wry-ness
levelheadness
teasing
stupidity (which we could use jokerman for, I made a note)
sarcasm
I think that’s it so far
Blaine: “you’re a tool D.Marshall”
Kurt: yes, we need that one too
Blaine: I can’t call her anything else besides D.Marshall
even though I know her name is Deirdre
Kurt: I know
I want to use it as an insult in real life
“you’re such a D.Marshall”
Blaine: ha!
Kurt: speaking of real life
I’m going to be in Ohio the first weekend in August
Are you going to be around?
Maybe we could meet in Columbus or something?
I don’t know
no big deal
Blaine: first weekend in August?
I’m going to Cleveland with my brother
he’s got tickets to see the Indians
Kurt: You like baseball?
Blaine: It’s ok
I like hanging out with my brother
:)
Kurt: aw
Blaine: I know, family values
Kurt: do I dare ask how things are with your dad?
Blaine: sigh
I don’t know
i want to tell you something
but i hope you don’t think less of me
@ 10:03 pm
Kurt: Blaine?
Did you fall asleep?
Blaine: ha, no
I’m just embarrassed
Kurt: It’s ok, you don’t have to tell me
you realize you brought it up right?
Blaine: yeah
I just
I haven’t come out
to my parents yet
and it’s
Kurt: oooooohhhhhh
Blaine: weighing me down
Kurt: got it
totally totally got it
Blaine: so yeah
Kurt: well
i mean, it’s not easy
I believe i’ve mentioned that my dad is amazing
and even he had trouble at first
I mean, he was nice about it
but he was... uncomfortable
Blaine: what about your mom?
Kurt: oh
my mom died
when i was 8
Blaine: i’m sorry
stupid question, i should have thought of that
Kurt: no, no
it’s ok
Blaine: i guess i just thought they were divorced or something
I never considered
Kurt: I do wonder sometimes
how she would have reacted
anyway
it’s not going to be easy
Blaine: i know
i see a therapist
who i’ve been going to
since I was little
(yes I’m coming out to YOU about going to therapy)
and we’ve been talking about this a lot
trying to come up with a strategy
Kurt: can i ask why you started going?
to therapy?
Blaine: i wouldn’t talk in school
Kurt: so you really are shy, huh?
Blaine: painfully
most of the time
i wasn’t exaggerating
Kurt: I’m nodding
Blaine: maybe we need a nodding font?
Kurt: on the list
Blaine: anyway
I don’t really know how to handle it
coming out
Paula suggested maybe i should talk to you about it
since you have actually come out
and Paula is a 56 year old straight woman
with a husband of 34 years
she thinks you might be a better source for material
also she knew that telling me to talk to you about it
would make me have to talk about it
and talking is good
bottling stuff up is bad
i’m rambling
@ 10:37 pm
Blaine: Kurt?
Kurt: you told Paula about me?
I’m flattered :)
Blaine: yeah :)
we just talk about my life
and i guess you’re part of my life
kind of a lot these days
Kurt: i’m blushing
Blaine: me too
but that’s not particularly rare for me
Kurt: blushing font added to the list
Blaine: where the hell are we going to find all these fonts?
Kurt: don’t change the subject
Blaine: don’t reprimand me
you’re not my camp counselor
:P
Kurt: ha!
anyway
I think
the only way to come out
is just to do it
I mean you have to, at some point
I guess you don’t *have* to
but it would be like living a lie
Blaine: i know
i do know
it doesn’t mean i’m not scared
like really scared
Kurt: maybe tell them that you’re scared?
be honest with them
you’re scared to tell them, but you need them to know
i don’t know how to delicately ask this
Blaine: just do it then
I can take it
Kurt: do you think
they’re going to like
disown you?
or just be sad/disappointed/confused etc.?
Blaine: I don’t know
i’d like to think that they love me enough
just to love me
no matter what
Kurt: which is what you should be able to expect from your parents
unconditionally
Blaine: i think they’ll be mad
or something
but not disown me
Kurt: ok
that’s good
that’s important
Blaine: I was thinking I’d come out to cooper when I see him
my brother
and see what he thinks
Kurt: do you think he might be willing to be there?
when you tell them?
Blaine: I think he probably would
i never thought of that
that might help
Kurt: good
Blaine: thanks Kurt
that’s like
a really good idea
i would have never thought to ask cooper to be there
I feel better about this
Kurt: Good :)
Blaine: I feel like I should give you something
for helping me
do you want to hear a song?
Kurt: um, sure?
@ 10:52 pm
Blaine: It’s me playing the piano
it’s not long
I’m not singing or anything
just messing around on the piano
but i got some editing stuff on my computer
and i wanted to record myself
usually i play this song on guitar
but i slowed it down and changed the key a bit for the piano
Kurt: ok
Blaine: I’ll email it to you
@11:07 pm
Kurt: I literally just listened to this 8 times
this is you?
Blaine: yes
Kurt: you wrote this?
Blaine: yeah
I know it’s not perfect, I mess up
Kurt: it’s amazing blaine
it’s … delicate
yet bouncy?
Blaine: i think i could get behind that description
so you really like it?
Kurt: I just put it on my ipod
I love it
what’s it about?
Blaine: insert blushing font
oh nothing
just a silly little tune
Kurt: lol
it’s late
work in the morning
Blaine: yeah
thanks for talking to me kurt
i mean about everything tonight
but like
in general too
Kurt: it’s fun. nice.
i want to find a better word than nice
it’s better than nice
Blaine: perhaps it’s
amiable
engaging
ineffable
winsome
Kurt: you’re totally looking at a thesaurus
Blaine: i just like having a lot of words in my arsenal
makes me feel smart
Kurt: so you’re at war then? :)
Blaine: sometimes
not right now though
Kurt: i think *you’re* winsome
Blaine: I think *you’re* ineffable
night kurt
Kurt: night blaine
Winsome: adj- sweetly or innocently charming
Ineffable: adj- too great to be described in words

Wonderful chapter again. I really love this. :)
Thank you, thank you!!!
Lovely key smash, darlin! Thanks for reading!
Excuse me while I asljgfalfshzljcvafh
Hold tight, the blangst is coming! Thanks for reading. :)
Their both so adorable. Can't wait to see how Blaine's telling his parents goes.
Seriously, I want to hug them both all the time. Thanks!
this was such a great chapter, seriously! I love the exchange at the end, Blaine called Kurt ineffable is in itself ineffable. *insert blushing font* Keep it up!
Thank you! Also you're in luck. There should be a new chapter up later tonight!
Omgosh. I love this story!! It's sooo cute!!! And I cannot wait to read more! :)
do you like to cry to adele blaine? "it's the only way to cry." OMG those lines!! Seriously! Isn't that how everyone cries?? Although my crying also requires icecream and/or chocolate but yeah... And those lists they have going on about fonts they need to use to express certain emotions.... WHY DON'T LISTS LIKE THAT ALREADY EXIST AND WHY HAVEN'T YOU YET BEEN PAID FOR THAT MILLION DOLLAR IDEA? That is all. Actually, i lied. That is not all though u probably figured it out as you're reading this. Okay rambling now... oops. Also this chapter introduced us to Klaine's use of the word "winsome" ohhh the memories...
I AM TRYING TO DO HOMEWORK HERE...and I can not keep a straight face!...I literally did a Kurt..but it didn't work and the laughing came out so I had to make it into a cough as a cover up. #I LOVE THIS STORY!! ... The dorkiness cracks me up...the blushing font, CHEESE ON A CRACKER...I'm never swearing in my life again. THANK YOU D. Marshall!
