Blaine had a good life, in his opinion anyway. New York was amazing, he met so many great people and he didn’t have it hard there as a gay teen like most boys across the world, in fact his coming out was quite pleasant, even his parents accepted which was a shock for him since they grew up in such a traditional way, maybe New York just had that effect on everyone, acceptance.

Blaine’s music progressed further in New York as well, his parents got him the best teachers and he excelled vocally and instrumentally, he went to a good school and was the top of his class. Yes you could say Blaine’s life in New York was perfect.

Which was why his world came crashing down when he found out he had to move back to Ohio.

“But why? Things are great here why would you even consider going back to Ohio? What is there that is so important?” Blaine asked his mother after she broke the news.

“Well Blaine,” Elenor Anderson calmly replied, she really could not take another one of Blaine’s tantrums. “If you would have let me finish before rudely interrupting,” Blaine rolled his eyes. “None of that Blaine! Your father got a business transfer back to Ohio, I know New York is great but don’t you want to go back to your old home? You were born and grew up in Ohio,”

“I know mother, but New York is my home now, and you can’t expect me to just leave!” Blaine has become hysterical at this point, how could he possibly leave New York? His friends? His school? Everything he loves? No this was unfair.

“Well Blaine we can’t all get what we want, you’ll be old enough to live here alone in a few years but until then you’ll have to do what me and your father says and there shall be no more arguments about it,” Blaine’s mother coolly replied before walking away.

Blaine punched the wall to his right, this was just not fair. A part of him however, did want to go back, but why Blaine was unsure.

The whole plane ride to Ohio was torture for Blaine; he spent the past few days trying to convince his parents to stay but to no avail.

Telling his friends was the worst.

“Blaine, I’m gunna miss you man,” his best friend Wes shook his head “I can’t believe they’re doing this, you’re not that far away from leaving school why couldn’t they just wait?”

“I don’t know, I’ll still come visit and you better too, on breaks and stuff,” Blaine replied, defeated.

“Yeah I know but it wont be the same, what’s gonna happen to you and Sebastian?” David, his other best friend questioned.

“I-We we’re going to try the long distance thing, better than throwing away a 6 month relationship just because I’m moving a few hour plane ride away,” David looked unconvinced it could work. “I mean there is always skype and stuff until we can find time to visit each other, I’m sure it’ll work,”

“We’ll keep an eye on him anyway, just in case,” Wes added.

“Who’ll keep an eye on whom?”

“Sebastian!” Blaine squeaked in surprise.

Sebastian smiled smugly; he loved the reactions he could get out of Blaine. “Someone talking about me?”

“No, no of course not baby,” Blaine leaned on his toes and gave Sebastian a quick peck on the lips, which Sebastian took as an opportunity for a passionate kiss.

Wes and David both coughed in unison and Blaine pulled away, blushing.

“Yeah well anyway, you don’t have to be worried about me being unfaithful Blaine, as much as Wes and David would like to convince you otherwise, you know full well there is nothing better for me that that ass,” Sebastian ended his sentence with a slap on Blaine’s butt.

“As charming as ever Sebastian,” Wes rolled his eyes and David chucked, Sebastian wasn’t all bad after all he just didn’t really have a filter, especially when it came to Blaine, whether he would stray when Blaine left was unknown to all of them, Blaine could just hope for the best and not blame him if he did, long distance is a hard thing after all.

Blaine sighed as he recalled the memory, he was going to miss his friends and he was really going to miss Sebastian, he did love him after all and he was his first boyfriend, well the first boy to interest Blaine. There were quite a few gay boys in New York, even more that wanted Blaine, but Blaine was picky always searching for something that he didn’t exactly know what. He still doesn’t know he found it with Sebastian, but it was close enough he thought. Blaine was only slightly worried that Sebastian would cheat, not because he didn’t trust Sebastian but because he knew how hard it would be for himself as well, they both were so used to the intimate side of a relationship that being taken away from that would be a struggle enough. They never went all the way but close enough anyway.

Blaine arrived at his new house, which was technically his old house, even though he hardly could remember anything about it. It didn’t feel like home and Blaine doubted it ever would.

With a sigh he went to his room to start unpacking his stuff, yes, life for Blaine Anderson is probably not going to be so perfect anymore.

*****

Kurt woke at 6:00am like every morning and started getting ready for a day that he thought would be uneventful.

He dressed in tight black skinny jeans, a white shirt and a grey waistcoat and finished off his outfit with his knee high black boots.

“Time to face hell,” Kurt murmured to himself after getting in his car an hour or so later.

Kurt arrived at school at was instantly greeted by Mercedes and Tina, buzzing with excitement.

“Kurt!” Tina grabbed onto Kurt’s arm and Mercedes grabbed onto the other.

“Boy you will not believe how hot the new boy is,” Mercedes excitedly whispered as her and Tina giggled.

“You’re right, I don’t believe, what is he a jock?” Kurt played along, guessing that he probably was straight and not even that cute.

“He’s from New York!” Tina exclaimed “Just moved here the other day, he’s dreamy and totally gay,” Tina sighed and pouted.

“If you say so, a dreamy gay guy from New York? I must still be asleep,” Kurt laughed, but as he spoke those words his heart jumped and one thought popped into his head. Blaine.

“Kurt! Kurt! You’ll never guess what mommy said! We’re moving to New York!” Blaine excitedly bounced up and down

Kurt shook the memory out of his head, there could be no way it would be Blaine, it’s just wishful thinking that’s all.

“Well girls, we best go see Mr Gay Dreamboat,” Kurt laughed.

All 3 New Directioners walked into the school and Kurt could swear his heart stopped beating, it was him. He was sure of it. Just older and way more attractive, his hair was gelled back but a few curls hung loose, he was wearing red skinny jeans and a black polo shirt with a little yellow bow tie. Yes gay, that’s for sure, even the flock of girls surrounding him with heart eyes can’t deter from the fact he was, completely gay. Kurt never doubted his gaydar once and it was going off a mile a minute.

“Kurt? Are you okay? I know we said he was attractive but if you don’t pick up your jaw it might break,” Mercedes joked.

“Oh yeah sorry, er I have to bathroom I-I’ll see you in class,” Kurt ran off without hearing their reply.

Kurt ran into the nearest bathroom and splashed water on his face. What was going on? How is he here? What if he recognises him? What if he doesn’t?

His thoughts were interrupted with the door opening and none other than Blaine gorgeous Anderson walked in with that same goofy smile and hazel eyes.

“Heh, it’s crazy out there... I guess an all-boys school couldn’t have prepared me for all the..,” Blaine sighed. “..Girls,”

Kurt spun around, a look of shock on his face, did Blaine recognise him? He was speaking to him so easily, like 10 years hasn’t passed, no he can’t he hasn’t mentio-

“Sorry, I guess I’m just a chatty person, I’m Blaine, Blaine Anderson,” Blaine smiled, slightly confused at Kurt’s reaction, and held out a hand for Kurt to shake.

I promise

He didn’t remember.

“Kurt.”

“It’s very nice to meet you Kurt” Blaine smiled, big and bright.

He has no idea who I am.
