A few jocks acknowledged Blaine's presence nodding lightly as he walked inside the gym. Not wanting to waste any more time, he instantly started looking for Finn. At first Blaine checked the showers and then the locker room, but his boyfriend's brother was nowhere to be found. Blaine sighed deeply, and resigned, left the room.
Blaine was silently praying to himself, that if he somehow can't meet up with Finn at school, then the obvious solution will occur to the current owner of his body, and the Quarterback will subtly suggest to Kurt that he'd like to be invited for dinner tonight.
However, for now, Blaine hasn't lost hope yet.
Finn reached the gym's door breathing heavily. Most of the way here, he had to run. After this morning, he didn't want to tempt fate.
He practically stormed through the gym's door. Unfortunately, it caused people who were inside the room to focus their very unwanted attention on Finn. As he directed himself towards the showers, they sent him disapproving looks.
"S..Sorry guys, don't stop because of me. I..I'll be gone in a minute." Finn, stammered.
Finn quickly checked the showers, and the locker room, but he couldn't find Blaine.
"Fuck," he muttered under his breath. "Where I'm supposed to look for him, if he's not here."
Not wanting to experience again similar events like he had that morning, Finn left the gym as fast as he could. He found himself in the school's corridor wondering where to search next, when he caught the glimpse of his favourite flannel shirt.
Maybe Puck will help me. He's the most informed person in the entire McKinnley. Yes, that's a good idea. Tough he's probably under the bleachers, smoking pot with the Skanks, Blaine thought. He started walking faster not wanting to miss meeting Puck, too. Blaine was half-way to his goal when he heard a familiar voice shouting his name.
"Blaine! Blaine, dude, wait up for me," Finn was running down the hall and shouting like a crazy person.
Blaine immediately turned himself around, feeling a huge relief.
When he saw Finn running towards him the only thing he could though about was Do, I really look that weird when I'm running? Get a grip on yourself Anderson! Now is not the time to think about that.
Unfortunately, another realisation hit him very quickly Oh god what's he wearing?! Shit! Kurt for sure is suspecting that something is wrong with me today. Blaine was about to start panicking, but few second later Finn reached him, and instantly started bubbling.
"Dude, you've no idea how glad I am to see you right now! I literally thought that I'll never find you. What's going on? Why you're me, and I'm you? How did this happen? What are we going to do now? How we're going to fix this?" Finn was asking so many questions at the same time.
"FINN!" Blaine raised his voice "Calm down. I don't know how to answer these questions. All that I know we're going to skip today's classes, and we need to go somewhere secluded. We have to think about what happened. We need to go back couple of days ago or maybe even weeks and analyze it. We probably did something that caused all this mess."
Thank god we're alone here, thought Blaine, if someone'd be here they might took us for a psychos.
"Yeah. You're right." Finn said "and I know the perfect spot where we can go. No one is going to interrupt us while we're there"
"Ok, so lead the way."
When they were on their way to the parking lot, Blaine asked.
"Kurt drove me here. It means that I don't have a car. What about you?"
"Your mom drove me, so I don't have a car either. I guess we're going to walk there. It's not that far," replied Finn.
"Oh and that reminds me. You should text Kurt, and tell him that you're not feeling very well"
"Yeah..about that. I think I might have forgotten to take your phone from your room" admitted shyly Finn.
Great, thought Blaine. How am I going to explain everything that happened to Kurt?
"No problem Finn," said Blaine forcing a smile."Let's just get going ok?"
Just like Finn said, the walk didn't took long. They passed the outskirts of Lima, and soon Blaine found himself on a field.
Since it was mid-April, the weather wasn't too cold or too hot. The fields itself were enormous. All covered in a fresh green ripening grass, only just a few spreading trees giving enough of cool shadow here and there. The fields seemed to have no end, however far away on the North Blaine was able to see a small grove.
"Sooo what do you think?" Finn, asked.
"It's beautiful" replied Blaine. A perfect place where I can take Kurt on a date, he thought to himself.
"How did you found this place?" asked Blaine, very intrigued since such place weren't usually connected with football loving and childish acting Finn Hudson.
"I used to come here when I was a kid, you know? Sometimes when I horribly missed my dad, fought with my mom over something very silly or simply had a bad day, I came here, lied on the ground and stare at the blue sky. I used to dream about being an astronaut and discover the universe, or being a soldier just like my dad and fight in a battle. I just wanted to mean something to the world. Leave something after me, and look at me now. I'm just a high school jock. I'll probably play football in college, but I'll be never good enough to make it to the league. I'll never be able to leave something after myself. Not even a trace in history. But I know that life isn't fair, and I've learned how to live with it. On the other hand you, Rachel and Kurt are going to make it big. If not in performance, you're going to find a way to be remembered by history. You're just too damn talented that word will be able to miss it."
Blaine was just staring at him with his mouth hanging wide open.
"Ok yeah I think I've got a little bit too nostalgic. Let's go find somewhere where we can sit and solve this mess"
"Finn, listen," started Blaine and put hand on Finn's shoulder. "You, too, are very talented. Even if singing and dancing aren't your strongest suits, you've got plenty other talents. You just haven't discovered them. Other people might see them, but they're just waiting for that day when you wake up and realise that you have it in you! Besides if I remember correctly, all 4 of us were about to make it to New York, right?"
On Finn's face appeared a wide smile.
"Ok, so let's find some place where we can sit and talk how to deal with everything that happened. We also need a plan what to do next, don't you think?" asked Blaine.
