What was it about having an eventful new year?

"More like uneventful new year." Blaine mumbled to himself as he poured a steaming hot black coffee into a cup and hands it with a polite smile to the person waiting in the counter.

Ever since Kurt left for New York, Blaine's days have been bland; he never realized how much Kurt made his day livelier. Now that he's not around, Blaine has fallen into a routine once again.

He gets up in the morning, leave for work, deal with work, go home, wait for Kurt to text him if they have a Skype date and if there's none, he plays a set in MS&L. Usually, he doesn't have a problem with this but that was because Kurt was always there; he's there almost every morning for his coffee, calls when he has a free time and Blaine could always see him at the Pent whenever he wanted to.

And now he doesn't even have a reason to go to the Pent because Kurt brought James with him to New York.

He sighed, it's only been a week. You're being stupid Blaine.

"Problems?" Sam asked from the cashier counter.

It was down time and only three people have walked in, everyone else was busy in the city. Blaine shrugged.

"How come you're not sulking?" Blaine asked.

"Yeah well, I'm used to it already you know." Sam started and he decides to continue when he saw the confused look on Blaine's face. "I mean, I've had this massive crush on Alex for months before and I got used to the cycle that comes with her."

Blaine laughed. "Menstrual?"

"That too but no." Sam laughed before continuing, "She always, always, has a month or two where she doesn't come on Mondays and I've seriously thought that maybe she got tired of the coffee or something. But then I noticed that it was a pattern." Sam said.

"Is this why you've never really gotten the chance to ask her out?" Blaine inquired.

"It played a big part in it but mostly it was because I'm a dope." Sam laughed. "Every time she returns after a few weeks or months of being gone, I just have this 'holy shit she's back' moment and I always blank out and forget to ask her out."

Blaine just nodded as he listened. "So, any advice for a first-timer like me?" He asked.

"I don't know, just—keep yourself busy. That helps." Sam smiled, clapping Blaine on the back before getting back to work as a customer walked in.

Blaine clicked his tongue and decided that yes, that just might work.

I will break these chains that bind me, happiness will find me
leave the past behind me, today my life begins,
a whole new world is waiting It's mine for the taking,
I know I can make it, today my life begins

"MUSIC INDUSTRY?!" Wes' eyes widened as a grin began to spread on his face. Blaine couldn't help but roll his eyes.

He just finished a set in MS&L and has told his best friends about his career plans for the year. He was going to accept any gig, hoping that someone would be dumb enough to like his music and maybe offer him a recording contract or something.

Tina has stood up from her seat and gave Blaine a death hug from behind, almost choking him. He couldn't stop the laugh that bubbled out of him.

"Yes Wesley, I've decided." Blaine addressed Wes. "Haven't you realized that I've been playing a set almost every night for 2 weeks straight?" He pointed out.

"It's about time! You were putting off that inevitable fate for years now. Does this mean I can push you around so that you'll get the job that you clearly deserve?" Wes excitedly said. He always knew that Blaine would end up in the music industry, he was just cautious because Blaine avoided the topic as much as he can before.

"Don't forget us when you're famous." Mike said.

"Can we please not get ahead of ourselves?" Blaine laughed. He loves his friends so much he didn't know what he'd do without them.

"Have you told Kurt?" Tina asked curiously, giving Blaine a pointed look. Blaine just shrugged.

It's been three weeks since he left and he hadn't talked to Kurt for four straight days now. The first two weeks were fine, they'd Skype every Sunday and Kurt would call him when he's free. But recently, there's none.

They've texted a few times but it's more of an "I'm sorry, I'll be busy today" type of texts than actual conversations. Apparently, they're filming on location every day and he's tired most of the time because of all the walking and the New York.

"Blaine?"

He snapped out of his thoughts and smiled. "I'm telling him tonight." He said, knowing full well that Kurt would be asleep once he gets home from MS&L.

Blaine got home 30 minutes after 10 p.m. and was surprised to receive a call from Kurt. Well look who decided to call. But all his bitterness left him when he heard Kurt's voice.

It was just a faint "hello" and it made Blaine frown with worry.

"Kurt?" Blaine asked quietly to his phone. He heard Kurt huff a little laugh and a few moments of silence before Kurt finally spoke.

"God I missed your voice." Kurt hummed and Blaine could just tell that his boyfriend is lying on a bed and is just a little overly exhausted.

He glanced at the clock and clicked his tongue. Time difference.

"Kurt, go to sleep. It's 1:30 in the morning over there." Blaine reprimanded him, more in a concerned tone than angry.

"I am going to sleep." Kurt said with an audible yawn. "But I just—" He paused, clicking his teeth. "I haven't called you or texted you properly for days—I even forgot how many"

Blaine nodded even though Kurt couldn't see him. At least Kurt knew that something was very wrong in the duration of those days.

"—and I felt really bad and sad and I knew you're probably upset with me already and then today someone gave me coffee with latte art and I thought 'Blaine makes better art than all you people' and I was going to call you but they called me on set and I forgot and now I'm about to sleep and I…" He paused again then chuckled. "I rambled."

Blaine bit his lip, trying to hold his laugh but he couldn't. It just burst out from him and he could almost hear Kurt whine.

"And now you're laughing at me."

"It's because you're so adorable, you're killing me." Blaine replied, a fond look on his face. "So you called because you felt bad for not talking to me?"

Kurt hummed a yes. "And I just really needed to hear your voice and I knew you were playing a set tonight so I waited." Kurt added, another yawn escaping his lips and muffling his words.

Blaine's heart possibly constricted at that; it was very overwhelming whether Kurt realized it or not. Kurt waited for him. He waited even though he's tired. He waited because he needed to hear Blaine's voice. Blaine had to take a deep breath before answering when Kurt yawned again.

"Kurt you sound really tired." Blaine pointed out. "Just get some sleep and we'll talk tomorrow or something." He suggested. Kurt hummed again.

"Sing me to sleep?" Kurt asked. Blaine smiled.

"Anything for you Mr. Hummel." He replied.

Blaine stood up and went for his guitar, putting Kurt on speaker phone and started playing a slow, acoustic version of 'Terrified'. He could hear Kurt chuckle at the first lyrics and he's not surprised when he hears him hum a little.

"…in a world full of wrong—" Blaine sings and he was cut off by Kurt's low but beautiful voice.

"—you're the thing that's right." Kurt sang along, sleep evident in his voice. Blaine smiled a little and continued with the song.

You set it again my heart's in motion

Every word feels like a shooting star

I'm at the edge of my emotions

Watching the shadows burning in the dark

He finished the song even though he knew that Kurt fell asleep in the middle of the first chorus.

He could hear his light breathing through the phone and he sighed; it's not possible to be upset with Kurt. Blaine just knew that he'll never be able to be upset with Kurt for more than a day. He picked his phone up and listened.

"You're something else Kurt Hummel. You really are." Blaine smiled, shaking his head before saying a quiet good night and clicking his phone off.

He couldn't sleep properly that night as he couldn't take the smile off of his face.

Sing! goes to New York for episode finale

(pictured above: Kurt Hummel and Chandler Kiehl on the set of Sing!)

It seems like love is in the air for onscreen lovers Kurt Hummel and Chandler Kiehl as they film an episode of Sing! in New York city, going on location to some of the most famous landmarks in the Big Apple like a cheesy Valentine cliché.

But according to sources, the Valentine's episode was already shot and this is possibly for the finale on March! Apparently, because of the difficulty in schedules, the finale filming was moved to an earlier date than what was planned.

We managed to catch a quick interview with the pair on set. Watch below!

(Video Interview)

[I]nterviewer: What's this episode all about?

[C]handler [K]iehl: It's not an episode, we're just documenting our date. *laughs*

[K]urt [H]ummel: *hits Chandler on the shoulder* Uhm, I think it's the episode that changes their lives or something? I don't know what to give away. *laughs*

I: This will surely make Montgrover fans happy.

C.K.: I don't know, will it? *winks*

I: Any fun stories you want to share?

K.H.: Have you watched his viral video? *laughs*

C.K.: *glares at Kurt* Kurt tweeted a video of me dancing to Rihanna's S&M. I hate you.

K.H.: Aw, I love you too. *sticks his tongue out*

C.K.: Tough love. *laughs*

Blaine shouldn't have spent his time on the internet while waiting for Kurt to go online. He should have just played his guitar or the piano or something because one good thing about not being used to watching celebrity news was that he could avoid all these; but now he's seen it and he's seeing a lot of hate.

..

EAT ON THIS KLAINE SHIPPERS!

CHURT IS ON!

Look at the heart-eyes between these two! THIS IS TRUE LOVE!

And there it goes! Kurt loves Chandler. Unlike some other person who Kurt doesn't even acknowledge outside of Twitter. #lol klaine

..

He was just reading more comments under the video, some were defending him and Kurt and their relationship but the amount of hate, Jesus Christ this is depressing.

It was then that a window opened and Kurt was calling him on Skype. He took a deep breath and immediately answered it with a forced smile which probably is a very bad smile because it prompted Kurt to ask,

"Are you okay?"

"What? Yes, why?" Blaine asked back.

"Your face is kind of like a mixture of a frown and a smile. Do you know how disturbing that looks?" Kurt observed. "So, stop lying to me and tell me what's up." He tried again.

Blaine let his face fall. "Nothing, I just read something online." Blaine stared at Kurt and when Kurt didn't say anything, he continued. "About you. And Chandler Kiehl."

It was Kurt's turn to frown, "What about me and Chandler?" He asked, confused. Surely this was not a big deal, right?

"I just—" Blaine paused, trying to find the right words to ask. It's the first time they were talking again after days, he didn't want to screw it up just because of what he saw online. And they were just fine last night.

But it affected him more than he thought.

"Blaine." Kurt said, catching Blaine's attention. "Wait. Wait just a moment. What exactly have you seen online?" He asked.

"You were just looking at him with—I don't know—your eyes were—" Blaine's hands were all around the place, trying to explain. "I mean, you two look really close so I—" Blaine planned to just tell Kurt about the comments and the hate but before he could stop himself, he ended up being an inarticulate idiot.

He wanted to stop talking but apparently, his lips were arguing with his brain.

"I never really did get why you don't mention me in anything other than Twitter." Blaine continued. "I just don't want people to think that I'm just another one of your 'close friends'. I know it's alright for me to be seen with you in public and tweet about you and stuff but you never really did confirm anything haven't you? I mean, I ask you about it all the time and you never answer me properly."

If Blaine could kick himself to Mars, he would've done so for not being able to shut up. Kurt must be mad as hell right now. He wasn't looking at the screen so he didn't see the look on Kurt's face.

"Did you get it all out?" Kurt asked in a tone that Blaine couldn't register at the moment.

He looked back at the screen, confused and was expecting an angry and disappointed Kurt, only to be met by a smiling one. Kurt's eyes were full of understanding.

"I'm sorry." Blaine said in a low voice, Kurt just nodded. "You're not mad?" Blaine asked tentatively because how can he be not mad, heck, Blaine was even mad at himself.

Kurt shook his head, smiling at Blaine reassuringly. "No because I see your point Blaine and because you look like you were angrier more at yourself for all the things you said." Kurt paused. "I'm sorry if I—"

"No, Kurt, you—"

"Let me finish." Kurt requested and Blaine immediately shut his mouth. "I'm sorry if I did something that made you upset and I do understand what you mean but Blaine, Chandler is no one other than my co-worker for 2 years now. I'm sorry if I was being inconsiderate about your feelings, I know I can't act with him that way anymore because I have you now."

"Kurt." Blaine said, enunciating every letter in the way that made Kurt want to dig a hole in the ground and bury himself until he can recover from the overwhelming feelings. It made Kurt stop. "You don't have to change how you act with anyone just because I'm your boyfriend. That's—I don't want that." Blaine honestly said.

Kurt smiled.

"Thank you." Kurt replied sincerely because that's what he was waiting for. And Blaine did not disappoint. "Anyway, I wasn't really flirting with him or anything, we're just good friends. He knows about you too, you know." Kurt could see Blaine visibly relax at that. "But you have to get used to it Blaine because as much as I like you being jealous and protective," Kurt let out a laugh when Blaine covered his face in embarrassment. "this is what I do even before I met you. I hope you understand that."

"I do, I really do. I don't even know why I let it get to me. Maybe it's just we haven't talked for days and then I saw this video then all the hate in the comments…" Blaine trailed on.

"That's another thing, there are always going to be hate, Blaine, but don't take it to heart because you know better than them, right?" Kurt smiled as Blaine nodded. "One last thing, the reason why I haven't confirmed our relationship to the media is because I don't want you to deal with all the shit that comes with it and I told you that before we started dating."

"I'm sure I can handle it."

"I'm sure you can." Kurt said with a nod of approval. "But I want to get you away from it as much as possible. I mean, seeing the way you reacted to this thing online right now? You're gonna need a little more practice gelhead because that is just a light blow; imagine what you'll be reading about you and me when I finally tell the media about us? They'd be all over us, burying their noses in our private life."

Blaine chuckled a little, he can't believe Kurt's being so patient with him. He doesn't even know what he did to deserve this.

"And I may have a hidden agenda too." Kurt grinned, confusing Blaine.

"What?"

"I don't want them to know you as 'Kurt's boyfriend'. I want them to see you as Blaine Anderson, the genius musician. It's not that I don't like you to be labeled mine," Kurt winked, Blaine fondly rolling his eyes at the teasing. "But I don't want you to forever be in my shadow, you know?"

Blaine was speechless for a moment before he sighed. "God damn it, I could've sworn I ruined everything when I couldn't stop myself from ranting earlier but here you are, being awesome." Blaine said, for the lack of better word.

"Thanks, I know." Kurt said, fixing his hair and laughing.

"You're really always looking out for me aren't you?" Blaine stated. Kurt could almost see the way Blaine's eyes sparkle when he's amazed and thankful and, dare he thought it, in love. He bit his lip to fight the blush that was creeping onto his cheeks.

"As do you." Kurt replied.

There were a few moments of silence before Blaine let out a frustrated whine. It was Kurt's turn to be confused when Blaine opened his arms out wide and went closer to the computer screen, blocking the camera with his chest.

"Blaine, what the hell are you doing?" Kurt laughed.

"I just really want to hug you right now so I'm hugging you through the screen." Blaine explained. He emerged on Kurt's computer screen again after a few seconds with a frown on his face. "It's the 21st century! You'd think we'd have advanced technology right now! Like, you know, 3D Skype." Blaine whined but then he laughed. "You said that when you were sleep talking."

"Shut up."

Blaine paused. "Wait, you said earlier that you want people to know me as Blaine Anderson, the genius musician." He started, remembering one of the reasons they were talking. "Did someone tell you about something?"

The mischievous smile on Kurt's face was enough for Blaine to figure it all out.

"It was Tina wasn't it?" Blaine grunted. "I swear to God you shouldn't have exchanged numbers last Christmas." He sighed. Apparently, Tina accidentally sent a group message that morning.

"Oh please, stop being a drama queen." Kurt chuckled. "We all knew you were crawling your way to stardom anyway, you were bound to become famous." Kurt wiggled his eyebrows.

"Crawling?"

"Because you wouldn't take a car to stardom, you'd rather take the slowest route." Kurt told him.

They talked for hours after that with Blaine relieved that they managed to work out the problems they had (actually, it was only Blaine's problem). Blaine forced Kurt to go to bed as soon as he noticed that it was already 8:30 p.m., it meant that he was keeping Kurt up because of the time difference.

He managed to get Kurt to turn off his laptop and crawl to bed but as soon as Blaine was in the kitchen making himself a nice dinner, his phone rang. He chuckled.

"Go to sleep Kurt." Blaine immediately said after answering the phone.

"Are you cooking dinner? What's on the menu?" Kurt tried to strike a conversation. Blaine shook his head in amusement.

"Kurt." Blaine said firmly. Kurt paused and sighed.

"Fine. You're such a gelhead." Kurt said, most likely with a pout. "I mean that literally and figuratively." He laughed aloud, making Blaine's heart soar.

"Good night Kurt."

"Good night Blaine." Kurt replied, humming under his breath. "See you next week."

"I can't wait."
