Saturday.

The day Kurt had been looking forward to all week, and even more so since what happened the day before. Today he could relax, do some homework and maybe even help his dad out at the shop, he could do anything he wanted.  

One thing he would not be doing however, is thinking about Blaine Anderson. 

Or so he wished.

 The door knocked at exactly 12pm, Kurt wasn’t expecting a visitor and everyone in the house had gone out already so he doubted they would be expecting anyone. Still, Kurt wasn’t bad mannered enough to let whoever is out there waste a journey coming over it could be Rachel or Mercedes surprise visiting him.

Kurt hummed happily as he approached the door and opened it with a big smile on his face, a smile that soon faded as he registered who it was. 

“Kurtsie! Wow you’ve grown kid!” Cooper beamed, Kurt really did look different, obviously, he was like seven last time Cooper saw him. 

“C-cooper.. What are you doing here?” Kurt panicked looking behind him to see if Blaine was there, the last thing he needed right now was Blaine’s brother telling him what Kurt has failed too.

“Don’t worry,“ Cooper caught Kurt looking behind him. “It’s just me I didn’t bring Blaine.” 

“Come inside, and we’ll talk then. Obviously this isn’t just old friends catching up.” Kurt stepped aside and admired Cooper’s profile, he had grown even more handsome than he remembered. He looked kind of like a movie star. 

Kurt sat down at the kitchen table after offering Cooper something to drink and Cooper followed suit. 

“So, why are you over here? It’s nice seeing you again Cooper but I find this all a bit odd.” 

“Well, I spoke to Blaine,” Kurt looked scared for a moment before Cooper reassured him with a small laugh. “No, don’t fret he doesn’t know, I swear that kid is so clueless I remembered who you were as soon as I heard your name.”

“Coop! Coop! I made a new friend today! His name is Kurt, Kurt Hummel isn’t that a pretty name, Coop and guess what,” Blaine bounced around Coop trying to get his words out as fast as possible. “He like music just like me!”

“Blaine everyone likes music.” Cooper laughed, he really did love his little brother.

“No.” Blaine pouted. “Kurt is different, he likes musicals and all the ‘girly’ stuff that people make fun of me for. I’m going to see him again tomorrow and we’ll have tea parties and go to the park and it will be so much fun! We’re going to best friends forever Cooper I know so!”

“Yeah well, you were 18 when they moved.” Kurt countered.

“You remember him and you were the same age.”

“Touché.” 

“Yeah but anyway, I’m not going to go into details about the conversation, just know he wants to talk to you about it, about you know what happened” Kurt blushed at the fact Cooper knows he kissed Blaine. “He isn’t mad, just in case you think it. Just really confused but anyway that’s not why I’m here, well not completely anyway.” 

“Then why are you here?” Kurt asked. 

“Why haven’t you told him Kurt?”

“Told him what?” 

“You know what.” Cooper looked at the blue eyed boy seriously.

“Didn’t really feel like it was my place, and I tried I’ve tried dropping hints thinking ‘hey maybe he’ll remember if I kiss his face off’ not one of my best plans granted, but I tried.” 

Cooper laughed, Kurt still had that cutting wit he always admired. 

“Wait, why would kissing him make him remember? I thought you were best friends.”

Kurt blushed once again realising Cooper probably didn’t know about the promise.

“Er well, Blaine once promised me he’d marry me.” Kurt started “and he kissed me but it was just a childish thing, please don’t think I’m crazy and I’ve been waiting for him for 10 years or anything because that really isn’t the case Coop an-” Kurt babbled on.

“Kurt, shut up it’s fine. I just didn’t know that’s all, seems like something Blaine would do, he was always a cheesy guy.” 

“It would make sense about that day though.” Cooper said. “I mean one of the days like a few weeks before the move?” Cooper looked at Kurt for confirmation about the time Blaine did all that, Kurt nodded. “He came home after going to the park with you, and boy was he happy I’d never seen him smile so much. I thought mom just gave him too much candy or something.” 

Kurt got teary at what he just heard, but he didn’t dare cry. Not now. Not in front of Cooper.

“Yeah well, he doesn’t remember anything at all. So, that all doesn’t matter now. I’m not going to say anything to him, some things just aren’t meant to be. This is one of them.” Kurt said and he looked absolutely crushed, Cooper put his hand on Kurt’s shoulder. 

“Never say never.” Cooper smiled big and bright. 

“Any advice you want to give me that isn’t a Justin Bieber song title?” Kurt laughed and Cooper joined in. He really did miss this kid.

Kurt and Cooper sat for a little while longer, just talking about Blaine and everything else, it was nice for Kurt to talk to someone about the memories of the past. 

“Well Kurt, I hope whatever you do works out for the best. I won’t tell Blaine but if you ever want me to just ask, and here take my number just in case you even need anyone.” 

Kurt thanked him and said his goodbyes back. 

Kurt then went up to his room and collapsed on his bed, memories of the conversation he just had with Cooper running through his mind. 

He happy I’d never seen him smile so much

Kurt wanted that again. He wanted to make Blaine smile. He wanted him to know what he meant to him, what he still means to him. He wanted it all way too much.

Monday came way to fast for Kurt, just the idea of facing the school, facing Blaine nearly made him skip. But Kurt never skipped school, he had the best grades and wanted to keep it that way so he could get out of Ohio once he graduated. 

He didn’t see Blaine till a quick passing in the hall and even then he didn’t talk to him just awkward glances. Kurt was beginning to think Cooper lied about him wanting to talk to him, it was after glee club when Kurt was getting his stuff that Blaine finally approached him.

“Kurt.” 

Kurt looked away from his locked and saw Blaine. It was the first time he spoke to him since he ran off that Friday. 

Blaine was chickening out of talking to Kurt all day, he’d see him in the hall and go to talk to him, or pass him and think of stopping him but he just couldn’t find the right words. Then he saw him at his locker obviously distressed and thought it’s now or never.

“Blaine, look before you say anything I just want you to know I am so so sorry for what happened the other day, I was a mess and it wont happen ever again.” Kurt babbled out without taking a breath. 

“Kurt calm down, I’m not mad or anything. Honestly I understand, well I don’t understand fully but I get that you were upset about something.” Blaine shifted nervously. “How about we go somewhere else with more privacy.” Blaine looked around and he saw Kurt’s eyes grow wide. “No I mean to just talk and stuff, I don’t really want to talk about important things next to your picture of Kate Middleton.”

Kurt shut his locker and blushed and Blaine chuckled.

“Sure let’s go… anywhere in mind? 

“We could go back to my place? It’s just me and my brother while my parents are on a charity trip or something,” Blaine asked. 

“Er yeah sure, I’ll follow you in my car?” 

“Okay.”

To: Cooper Anderson

From: Cooper Anderson

To: Cooper Anderson

Not funny! We are going back to talk that’s all, since we haven’t been able to yet. Stop calling me that! - Kurt

“Ready?” Blaine asked, confused.

“Yeah uh sorry just texting my dad letting him know I wont be back straight away.”

Kurt followed Blaine back to his house, his heart beating incredibly fast. He was thankful Blaine’s parents weren’t in, but he didn’t know if Cooper could keep his thoughts to himself and he might let it slip just because he’s Cooper.

Kurt arrived at Blaine’s house and prepared himself for probably the most awkward visit of his life.
