Author's Notes: Time jump of youve guessed it nine years

Sunday 24th March 2009

Hey Blaine!

I was wondering if, maybe, you wanted to go get coffee on Tuesday, like afterschool or something? You don’t have to… it just we haven’t seen each other in years, and I like to see my best friend ;)

Kurt

Hi,

You consider me your best friend? I know its been ages! You’re still that little 8 year old arent you ;) Okay errm where shall we go… Lima Bean?

Blaine

Of course I consider you a best friend, you’ve helped me through a lot, thank you so much… if you ever need any advice I’m always here you know, and sure Lima Bean Tuesday 4pm okay?

Kurt

I think of you as my best friend too, and *you’ve* helped *me* through so much too, I never really talked about my parents until I met you so thank *you* and sounds great… err do you have a cell phone… Cooper bought me one for my 17th birthday and that way I can tell you if I’m running late okay?

Blaine

Here… (419)-315-1108 and he sounds like a real good big brother… I have Finn, He lost his dad, he’s my dad’s girlfriend’s son… things are kinda awkward after Freshman year though :/ I’m glad I’ve managed to help you too, I felt kinda bad because I felt I was taking and not giving anything back.

Kurt

(614)-307-5456 that’s mine. I’ll just text you :) and he is he always looks out for me… especially when Sebastian… never mind and you have helped me so much thank you again… I love getting e-mails from you. May I ask what happened Freshman year?

Blaine

P.S. Did you get mah Text?

Yes I did… and it’s more of a thing we should discuss in person :S just because you’re my friend and it’d be better in person so I can gage your reaction better then… and I love getting e-mails from you too… best part of my day really if I’m honest… and I’ve started singing again… I still can’t make it through a whole song but it’s a start… right

Kurt

Well you didn’t text me back ;) okay… well talk about on Tuesday if you want to that is? And yes that’s great progress from not wanting to sing ever again to beginning to, I’m so proud of you Kurt. Best part of my day too… will I be able to hear you one day… I’d love too, I heard many people comment on how well you and your mom sung together… they said you had a great voice. ;)

Blaine

What do you mean… all you said was ‘Blaine’ was I meant to text back… yeah it’s something we should discuss as friends… some people don’t understand. And maybe. When I’m ready, you know… You sang beautifully at my mother’s funeral… Thank You

Kurt

Kurt’s phone buzzed, he noted the number flashing up on the screen

Blaine

Kurt answered.

“Hello” he said nervously…

“Hi, Kurt… erm well I have a little something for you… err well you said you felt alone when we first started this e-mail thing and well… there’s a song in one of my favourite musicals and I thought you like to hear it… is that okay… I know your mom used to sing but I just thought that this song might help or make you feel better… do you want to hear it?” came Blaine’s voice from the other end of the line.

“Awww, that’s really sweet, yeah I’d love to” Kurt said enthusiastically.

Kurt heard Blaine chuckle, it made Kurt’s insides flutter. He heard the phone being put on speaker and the gentle tuning of a guitar.

“Okay… hope you like it” said Blaine as he began to strum the first few chords.

I've been alone
Surrounded by darkness
I've seen how heartless
The world can be

I've seen you crying
You felt like it's hopeless I'll always do my best
To make you see

Baby, you're not alone
Cause you're here with me
And nothing's ever gonna bring us down
Cause nothing can keep me from lovin' you
And you know it's true
It don't matter what'll come to be
Our love is all we need to make it through


Blaine’s voice came streaming out of the phone; it filled Kurt bedroom, it made it glow, and it made Kurt feel happy.

Now I know it ain't easy
But it ain't hard trying
Every time I see you smiling
And I feel you so close to me
And you tell me

Baby, you're not alone
Cause you're here with me
And nothing's ever gonna bring us down
Cause nothing can keep me from lovin' you
And you know it's true
It don't matter what'll come to be
Our love is all we need to make it through

I still have trouble
I trip and stumble
Trying to make sense of things sometimes
I look for reasons
But I don't need 'em
All I need is to look in your eyes
And I realize

Baby I’m not alone
Cause you're here with me
And nothing's ever gonna take us down
Cause nothing can keep me from lovin' you
And you know it's true
It don't matter what'll come to be
Our love is all we need to make it through

Cause you're here with me
And nothing's ever gonna bring us down
Cause nothing, nothing, nothing can keep me from lovin' you
And you know it's true
It don't matter what'll come to be
You know our love is all we need
Our love is all we need to make it through


“Did you like it?” Blaine asked. He couldn’t see the smile on Kurt’s face or the tears running down his cheeks.

“Blaine that was beautiful, thank you”

“You really liked it?”

“Blaine I loved it, it made me feel happy for the first time in forever thank you”

“Okay good you’re welcome… oh and the ‘did you get my text?’ was from A Very Potter Sequel it’s a parody musical about Harry Potter… have you seen it… you should” said Blaine.

“Okaaaaaayyy, if it’s a musical how come I’ve never heard of it… I’m kind of obsessed with them”

“It’s a YouTube musical… done by a bunch of students at University of Michigan … there’s also A Very Potter Musical which is the Prequel but set after the Sequel, that’s the musical the song is from… would you like the links… I can e-mail you them” said Blaine, speaking somewhat at the speed of light.

“Okay two things Blaine 1) calm down I can barely understand you and 2) okay send me a link I’ll watch it, it sounds quite good”

“Quite good? It’s rather good. Actually it’s the best musical I’ve ever seen” said Blaine in a posh English accent “Sorry… another reference there… it probably isn’t the best but it’s definitely up there”

“Okay, Okay I’ll watch it. I’m really sorry I’ve got to go now my dad is calling me for dinner… erm could we do this again tomorrow… it’s so much more fun talking to you on the phone”

“Yeah sure… I have Warblers’ Practice until five… I’ll call you then okay?”

“Okay talk to you tomorrow bye Blaine”

“Bye Kurt”

And then Kurt ended the call… He bounded upstairs, still feeling happier than ever… after dinner he even went to sit at the piano for a little while, running his fingers over the ivory keys. He loved the feel of the keys against the pads of his fingers… he began play the first few chords of ‘Don’t Cry For Me Argentina’ and an overwhelming feeling came over him, it was a feeling of bliss, completeness. He’d missed playing the piano; he’d forgotten how much he’d loved it. It, for 9 years, had just been another memory of his mother; he’d never thought he want to play again.

End Notes: Isn't Blaine the sweetest... next chapter A Phone Call, but you have to wait until next week #EvilToastieNeedsToRevise
