kurt.

Despite the things he hadn’t fully expected, and the process it took to get this far, he didn’t have any doubts.  Regrets?  Maybe that he didn’t tell anyone anything other than he was with a friend that they didn’t know.  Maybe that he didn’t end things with Blaine before leaving- only to keep him from holding on to someone keeping secrets and changing like Kurt had.  The question caught him off a little bit, though he’s not sure why it would.

“Yeah.  I can’t say I recommend it or anything, but I’m happy.  Besides,”  Lightening the tone to the best of his ability, Kurt sat back and sipped his coffee.  “I think we both knew I was always meant to be powerful.”  He jokes.  Eyes turned back to his plate to pick another bite onto his fork, soft smile turning into a grin as he says, “And who knew being dead would make me feel more alive.”  Another joke but maybe not the best one.  Oliver would laugh at it, but that just goes to show how much time they’ve spent together if Kurt was making jokes like him.

Careful what you ask for.  What you get might not be exactly what you want.  And here we are. Blaine digested the answer with the nod and a smile in spite of the fact that what Kurt said was, deep down, what he wanted to hear.  “That’s great!  I’m glad you are.  You were meant to be something big.  I’ll always agree to that.”  But?  At surface was greedy enough to wish that some form of regret would tint Kurt’s reply with the opposite.  Kurt being happy was all that truly mattered to him.  And if Kurt was happy?  More alive?  Then he was going to have to deal with that.  Regardless of the fact that he might not be wasn’t.

Okay!  Enough question and answer!  Blaine finished up the last of his breakfast and tip toed off the counterstool and landed on the balls of his feet with a light bounce.  “That was amazing. Thank you,” a gentle squeeze to Kurt’s shoulder and he gathered up his plate.  His mug was taken along for the ride back to the sink for a pitstop back at the coffee machine.  After the abrupt awakening?  He could definitely use more than just one.  “Can I get you another?”  And the transition away from the topic was nearly complete.  All he had to do was wait for Kurt to let it happen.  “A lot’s changed since you’ve been here last,” that was better than saying you left.  “I feel like I should catch you up but it’s pretty boring in comparison. I’m sure.”
