During the early months of their relationship, Blaine would play the day he met Kurt over and over in his mind. Thinking of the variables. The way things could have changed and the butterfly effect of it all.
What if Kurt had tapped someone else on the shoulder? What if he had decided not to spy at all? What if Blaine hadn’t gotten up the nerve to give Kurt his phone number? Where would they be?
Over the years of their life together, it turns into a game they play. Particularly during college, they go over where they would be without the other. Sometimes it’s sad, more often it’s downright hilarious. Kurt decided long ago that without Blaine in his later high school years he would have decided to join the circus and train poodles. Which Blaine agrees would be a decent career for Kurt.
When people ask for the story of how they met, they tell it in tandem, filling in details, making fun of each other. They turn it into a performance, where Blaine does Kurt’s lines and Kurt does Blaine’s. They add to it and make stuff up and mock each other ceaselessly about certain things. The rock-star line is usually played up and put down, but it’s all in good fun.
Because they have each other.
Because it happened.
