You Have No Idea...
"So Kurt figured it out..." Blaine said into the phone attached to his ear.
"And?" Joey asked.
Blaine laughed. "He was totally okay with it! He's actually a huge fan, more of a fanboy than anything to be honest. He's been to our shows before and everything."
Joey laughed "Told you, dude! Why would he have a problem with dating someone as Supermegafoxyawesomehot as you?"
Blaine thought for a moment. "Uh, because it means I'm the biggest dork on the planet? Besides maybe you, that is. I wrote a freaking musical about a book. I don't think there's a way to be a bigger weirdo. Hey! Speaking of weirdoes, when are you guys coming to visit me here in little lonely Ohio?" He asked curiously.
Joey rolled his eyes on the other side of the conversation. "Didn't we just have this conversation yesterday? Space Tour is performing in L.A. two weeks from now. You're flying there to perform with us because, well... You're supposed to be living there at the moment."
Blaine thought for a moment. "I thought I was performing with you in New York?" He questioned. "Wait, I'm supposed to be there for both? Joey! I can't miss that much Warbler practice, Wes would kill me with his gavel."
"Too bad, bro. Your duty as a Starkid far outweighs your Warbler Necessities. Besides, where would you rather be? Performing with your best friends in the biggest cities in the United States or a little choir room in Hicktown, USA? Your choice."
Blaine sighed. It wasn't Warbler rehearsal he was worried about missing. It was Kurt; his adorable and hot boyfriend.
"He could come with, you know. Lauren needs to threaten his balls anyway if he tries to hurt you." Joey said, reading Blaine's mind. "I'm pretty sure he could use the break anyway if the classes at Dalton are as hard as you say they are."
"I could ask; his father's pretty protective though. I'm not so sure he'd be allowed to run around New York and Los Angeles with his famous boyfriend." Blaine admitted, feeling his good mood deflate noticeably. Having Kurt along for the Space Tour would be the best, but the chances of it happening were slim to none.
"Try. I want to meet him already!" Joey whined.
"I will. I'm meeting him for coffee in twenty minutes or so, so I'll call you tonight and let you know if I need you to mail another plane ticket to me. Thanks Joey." Blaine said before hanging up, just catching Joey's 'See ya, Dare!'
"So, Mr. Warbler; anything new with you?" Kurt asked, taking a sip of his coffee as he waited for his boyfriend's response.
"I... Um, I've got something to ask you actually. How would you feel about flying to New York and Los Angeles with me for a few days? The Space Tour is going to perform a few shows there and I'm supposed to be making guest appearances at them." Blaine asked nervously.
Kurt raised his eyebrow. "You want me to come with you? Are the rest of the Starkids okay with that?" He asked, setting down the coffee he'd been taking a sip of.
"Of course they are!" Blaine said. "They're all dying to meet you. I apparently can't stop talking about you and it makes them really interested in getting to know you better than through stories I tell them. So you wanna come?"
Kurt sighed. "I'd love to come, but do you honestly think my dad would be okay with it? Think about it; in his eyes all he'll see is you and me, on the other side of the country, alone..."
The secret Starkid bit his lip. "I know... I thought we could at least try? The worst he could say is no" Blaine shrugged.
"Well I can try. I'll let know when I have an answer. When did you say it would be?" Kurt asked.
Blaine smiled. "I didn't, it'll be about two weeks from now, LA first and then we'll fly from LAX to the JKF. We'll be in Los Angeles for two days and then New York for three."
"You know, I've never even been on a plane before..." Kurt admitted. "I've only been out of Ohio once, and it was a few years ago for a certain performance of AVPS."
"All the more reason to join me." Blaine said, finishing off his coffee and getting up to walk over to the trash can.
"I'll call you tonight and let you know if he gives me an answer." Kurt said, standing up from their table to walk over to where Blaine stood. He looked around carefully to see if anyone was watching them before dropping a kiss onto Blaine's lips. "I better get going; I'm meeting Mercedes at the mall in a half hour."
"Don't spend too much of your allowance now. Better save up for the fabulous shopping you can do in New York." Blaine said with a wink.
"I'll try..." Kurt sighed as he stepped through the door to the Lima Bean and into the cold air.
"Hey Dad?" Kurt called from the kitchen where he was scooping ice cream into a bowl later that night.
"Yeah?" Burt called from the living room where he was watching Ice Road Truckers or Deadliest Catch or football. Whatever.
"So remember how I told you that Blaine was Darren Criss from Starkid? Well, they're doing the concert thing a few weeks from now in Los Angeles and New York and Blaine asked if I wanted to go with." Kurt said, putting the ice cream back in the freezer and walking back into the living room.
"That sounds interesting." Burt admitted. "How exactly do you plan on affording that?"
Kurt thought back to his text conversation from a few hours ago. "Blaine said all the plane tickets and hotel would be paid for by their merchandise sales and stuff."
"And hotel rooms? You don't honestly think I'll let you spend a night alone with your boyfriend in another city do you?" Burt argued.
"Um well I- I think we'll have separate rooms, or at least separate beds..." Kurt said in defense. "Blaine and I just got together I mean- I know I'm not ready for anything and I don't think Blaine is either."
"I'll think about it okay? How much school will you be missing?" Burt asked.
"Just three days. We leave on a Thursday so I'll miss school then but we have that Friday off for staff planning or something. We'd get back early Wednesday morning."
Burt sighed. "You'll be eighteen in four months Kurt. Moving to New York in a year. I'm not going to stop you. Tell Blaine that if he tries anything over the course of this trip I'll eat him. Literally." Burt threatened.
"Are you serious? You'll let me go?" Kurt said excitedly.
"Yes. Now give me that ice cream." Burt said, reaching for the spoon Kurt was bringing towards his mouth. "I think I deserve it. Haven't eaten anything but health crap in months." He grumbled.
"He said I could go!" Kurt yelled into his phone.
“Kurt that’s great! I’ll text Joey and have him book another plane ticket.” Blaine said happily, putting his phone on speaker so that he could text and talk to Kurt at the same time.
“So what should I pack anyway?” Kurt asked curiously as he rifled through his closet distractedly. “My plain Starkid shirt or my AVPM one? Or one from another show perhaps?” He joked.
“Kurt seriously, how many show shirts do you have? I mean, I saw the Starship one but…”
“I have at least one from every show. I have a really old Little White Lie one that was probably fan-made that I found on EBay a few years ago. I’m quite that dedicated fan if you can believe it.” Kurt explained.
“I’m really happy that you don’t mind my crazy obsessions, Kurt. I never thought I’d be so lucky as to have a boyfriend who not only knows about Starkid but loves them too.” Blaine said lovingly.
“You should talk. I’m the lucky one here. I never thought I’d be able to say that my boyfriend is the biggest nerd on the planet besides me. Before AVPM, I didn’t even like Harry Potter.” Kurt scoffed.
Blaine gasped audibly. “How could you not like Happy Potter? It’s Harry Potter!”
Kurt giggled. “I honestly don’t know; I’d tried reading the books in Elementary but I just couldn’t get into them back then. I saw your musical, and all of a sudden it was the best thing that had ever happened to me. I was one of the first people to be accepted into Pottermore, I have a signed copy of the Philosopher’s Stone that I spent entirely too much money on. Midnight premieres, posters, the works.” Kurt admitted happily.
“Well, I think I have you beat there. Pottermore sorted, I met J.K Rowling, Hollywood movie premieres, Trafalgar square on the red carpet-“
“Don’t rub it in, Mister ‘I’m the most famous dork to ever live’! Some of us actually have to be fans the old fashioned way.” Kurt interjected. “Besides, I watched the whole damn live stream of the premiere and not once did I see you behave like a normal human being. In fact, I believe the announcers exact words were ‘well, he sure seems thrilled’ as you jumped up and down like a toddler!” Kurt was teasing of course, but that didn’t mean the accusations weren’t true.
“I said I was famous, I never said mature.” Blaine justified. “You love it.”
Kurt sighed. “I do… I better get to sleep; I have a test first hour tomorrow that I’m pretty sure I’m going to fail.”
“Better wake up early and study then.” Blaine agreed. “Goodnight, Kurt.”
“Goodnight, Blaine.”
Both of them silently wondered if it was too soon to call it love.
Kurt sighed. “If we aren’t in love, we at least love each other.” He said to himself.
“So besides failing you Chem. test this morning, what’s going on in your life?” Jeff asked as he took a seat across from Kurt and Blaine at the Warbler’s normal lunch spot.
“Well, Kurt and I are flying out to L.A. in a few days to meet up with some of our friends, and then we’re all going to fly to the Big Apple together. Should be a blast.” Blaine said excitedly.
“Lucky!” Nick said in a jealous tone. “The rest of us are just going to be stuck here, going to our mundane classes and continuing on with our less-than-glamorous lives while the Rainbow Squad over here journeys across the country in search of magical unicorns.”
The two brunette boys laughed. “Hardly; more like the two of us will be whisked away in to the lives of our crazy friends for a few days only to emerge a little battered around from the rough-housing I’m sure we’ll endure. Joey may be a cuddle-bug at heart but he’s not one to turn down a good wrestling match when the opportunity presents itself.” Blaine explained.
“I haven’t even met the guy yet and he’s already decided I’m his new best friend.” Kurt laughed and Blaine looked a little hurt. “Lauren still seems skeptical about me though. We talked on the phone the other day and she was a little reserved, to say the least. I still can’t believe my dad is even allowing me the go with in the first place. When I asked about it a week ago I was expecting to have to sneak out and walk to the airport in order to go.” Kurt said honestly.
“So these are your friends from Ann Arbor right? What are they doing on L.A. and New York?” Trent asked curiously.
Blaine stiffened slightly beside Kurt. “I… um, well… It’s a vacation I guess you could say?” He stuttered.
“Their favorite band is performing in both cities this week and they decided to stalk them.”
The other boys at the table chuckled slightly. “What band?” Jeff asked.
Blaine stiffened once again as Kurt answered. “It’s the awesome band called Freelance Whales, you’ve probably never heard of them though.”
The boys at the table nodded and a few of them left to dump their trays. Blaine gave Kurt a look. “Freelance Whales?” He asked
Kurt shrugged. “I don’t know I made it up.” He explained and Blaine laughed.
“So are you all packed?” Blaine asked from his perch on Kurt’s bed the day before the trip. Burt had suggested that Blaine just stay the night here since it was closer to the airport.
“I think so… Did you bring a bathing suit?” He asked, holding up a pair of swim trunks.
“I did, but I’m not sure we’ll use them. I’d pack it just in case though.” He decided and Kurt threw it into his suitcase on the floor.
Kurt crawled up the Blaine on the bed and sighed dramatically. “That’s everything.” He said, planting a quick kiss on Blaine’s lips. “Getting excited yet?”
“I’m thrilled. This will be the first show I’ll ever do with someone I love in the audience. I’m nervous as hell though.” He admitted.
Kurt chuckled and smiled. “I would be too. It is your first tour after all.” He pointed out.
“You say that like there’ll be more after The Space Tour.” The curly-haired boy said sarcastically.
“Have you seen the ticket sales? You’re sold out in every city Blaine! If not already, then close enough that you will!”
“I know, I know; everyone loves Starkid I get it…” Blaine sighed. “I guess I’m just worried that after all this time without me, the fans have forgotten all about little old Darren Criss and have moved on to obsessing over Lauren and Joey.” Blaine admitted, pulling Kurt close to his chest.
“Relax; it’ll be fine. When they announced that you’d be performing in New York and L.A.; the ticket sales shot up so fast they thought about moving to a bigger venue the accommodate for everyone”
“Really?” Blaine asked.
“Really.” Kurt replied. “Now we should get to sleep, the flight leaves at 5 and if I don’t have the proper amount of sleep you’re going by yourself.” Kurt said, flipping of the light and crawling underneath the covers. “My dad said you can stay in here if you want.”
Blaine nodded and crawled underneath the covers with Kurt, spooning him. “Who decided you could be the little spoon?”
Kurt laughed and snuggled closer the his boyfriend. “I’ll be the big spoon tomorrow night, okay?” /the taller boy promised.
“’Kay.” Blaine agreed, kissing the back of Kurt head and closing his eyes, hoping Kurt’s alarm wasn’t as loud and obnoxious as Kurt said it was.
