When I joined tumblr as a teen around 2011 I was in an extremely niche fandom for Dalton by CP Coulter, which was a Glee fanfic. This was before ao3 was even a thing so it was on fanfiction.net , but there is currently an ao3 tag for Dalton fic to this day which is wild. Back then I think it was even a fandom tag on fanfiction.net.
I would write fic of the fic and roleplay the characters and everything. It was more of my fandom than Glee was honestly even though it was a Klaine fic.
I feel insane when I tell people about this because I’m not sure if people remember.
Anyway, anyone remember Dalton? Also it was never finished which is so sad.
In honor of (roughly) the 12th anniversary of moving from my dumpster fire og blog to this one, I got some very important internet check marks to really celebrate it still somehow being a Dalton blog all this time. I keep making new blogs for spam posting other interests bc this will always be my main. Happy anniversary to all my friends I've made along the way ✌️
It pays off to have a boyfriend who has an enormous dorm room for himself.
Kurt and Blaine are snuggling on the couch, watching RENT. Of course it’s RENT. What else could it be?
Even though they’re both still incredibly invested in this show, even after watching it a dozen times, this time they’re not paying attention. Blaine’s asleep against Kurt’s shoulder and Kurt rubs his thumb over Blaine’s arm. Kurt watches Blaine sleep. He looks so peaceful.
Kurt reaches for the remote and he lowers the volume and he internally apologises to Mimi Marquez for doing so.
Kurt leans against Blaine’s head too, only to immediately move away when his hair sticks to Blaine’s gel, but it makes him chuckle. Blaine is gorgeous, with or without gel, but he likes that it makes Blaine feel more confident.
It’s funny, because if there’s one place where they don’t have to be on their toes, it’s Dalton. Blaine used to be so scared, constantly monitoring himself to not be “too gay” after everything that happened. Kurt, on the other hand, didn’t hide who he was at McKinley and that had consequences.
But here, it’s peaceful. It’s serenity. It’s tranquility. It’s calm after the storm. They can just be themselves. They can watch musicals while cuddling without the fear of someone barging in and popping their safety bubble.
Blaine’s head rolls of Kurt’s shoulder and the drop wakes him up.
“What?” Blaine quickly says. Kurt holds him from falling completely.
“You fell asleep, sweetheart,” Kurt says.
Blaine yawns.
“Oh no, will Angel forgive me for missing her song?”
Kurt chuckles again.
“I think she’ll understand. But we can always rewind back to Today 4 U.”
“Yeah, let’s do that.”
They rewind and the song starts playing. The two of them watch it, but now Kurt’s the one who dozes off. Blaine smiles softly when he sees it and he pulls him closer. All is well.
