at the end of 2020, I got to take a handful of guitar lessons with chuck over skype. it meant the world to me - guitar was the first lifeline of my isolation in the pandemic, something i took on without any outside help or point of reference up until that point, and chuck was the first one to tell me I was a great guitarist, that I was capable of playing anything I wanted to, that I needed to give myself more credit. this was so fucking important to me then, and his immediate confidence in me gave me so much more confidence in my own abilities.

and now it’s march of 2022, and I don’t really open tumblr much or read fanfiction or write or think about glee. I moved out on my own, fell in love with an amazing human that I’m now building a life with, rescued a tiny, sick kitten from the street and fought for her life, and have come into my own infinitely more. things change so much so quickly in ways i never could have anticipated, and though the presence of this blog and community is so much different in my life now than it once was, it doesn’t diminish that all of this was so incredibly important to and for me.

burt calls while kurt and blaine are lying in bed, and blaine tells kurt he should answer, so he does. burt asks all the usual catch-up questions: how’s your dorm room, how’s your roommate, how are classes?

and then, “how’s it going with that boy you’ve been seeing? you in love?”

kurt freezes, knows blaine can hear every word burt is saying because he’s lying so close, knows also that it’s early and he has so many feelings but he doesn’t know if it should feel like this yet and if blaine is on the same page but he has to say something and doesn’t know what and then he stutters, says-

“it might be going in that direction, yeah”

his cheeks are flooded with heat, belly swirling with nerves for the whole rest of the phone call, and he sees blaine grinning out of the corner of his eye, but he’s afraid to look over until the call ends, until blaine erupts into giggles.

“what’s so funny?” kurt asks around the lump in his throat, finally meeting blaine’s, finding them sparkling, all melted warm honey, full of light.

“he asked if you’re in looooove,” blaine teases, raising his eyebrows, shit-eating grin widening enough to send a bolt of confidence through kurt, who doesn’t hesitate.

“are you?” he asks, the question coming out a little more accusatory than he meant it, but he’s lost his grip on the situation minutes ago, unsure of what’s right and wrong and okay anymore.

and then blaine’s eyes soften, and so does his smile.

so does his voice when he says:

“I do love you, yeah. I do.”

“well, I love you, too,” kurt whispers, reaching for blaine’s hand, hooking two of their fingers together, squeezing, smiling.
