kurt & blaine - we used to be friends [college verse]
This was a stupid idea. A really, really stupid idea. He didn't even know why he was thinking about it. Really. Just because Blaine was in Lima didn't mean Kurt had to see him. He could just hide in the garage and the house all summer and never go anywhere and then go safely back to New York without ever encountering his ex again. Nothing wrong with that plan, right? Right.
Except for the part where he couldn't stop thinking about the fact that Blaine was right there. And as much as Kurt had tried to convince himself otherwise, he had missed him. His stupid face and smug grin and atrocious hipster clothing and the way he knew Kurt inside out - okay. That last part had been rather inconvenient during their initial post-breakup encounter. How did Blaine do that? They were different, they'd changed. How did Blaine still know him?
Anyway, the thought wouldn't leave him alone and it was driving him crazy. He'd been on edge all week, snapping at Finn and making stupid mistakes at work. If he wanted his peace of mind back, he knew what he had to do.
And that was why he found himself outside of the Lima Bean. Where he'd been for the past twenty-five minutes, trying to work up the nerve to actually go inside. He'd walked up to the door at least twelve times during that time period, and turned around and walked right back to his car. He was currently sitting in the Navigator after the thirteenth attempt, banging his forehead against the steering wheel. "Stupid, stupid, stupid." God. He hated himself. Why couldn't he do this? It wasn't like it was a big deal. It was just Blaine. Just his stupid ex. Not even his only ex, anymore. This should be fine. Totally, totally fine.
He could do this. He would do this.
Kurt unbuckled his seatbelt for the fourteenth time, and opened the door. He stepped out of the Navigator and turned towards the entrance of the Lima Bean... and ran smack into another body. Decidedly male. And, when Kurt looked up from his spot on his ass on the ground (his balance having failed him at the impact), decidedly Blaine. Great.
"Hi."
