Is there anything you miss about McKinley?

well, as cheesy and borderline insufferable the glee club was, i do miss the camaraderie we would have sometimes... we had a lot of good days in that choir room and i'd like to think a lot of the people in that club did genuinely care about me. in their own little ways. but i miss some of the people, not the school.

[talktojeffers]

You ever just wake up and feel like things before were a dream? Like the night didn’t happen? 

[talkwithkurt]

elaborate.

If any of you in town feel like letting loose this weekend, the bar I’m working at is offering 2-for-1 shots and half price drinks. And come hang out with your favorite bartender, how can you lose?

@talkwithgleeksstarters​​

[talkwithkurt]

absolutely! anything to support a good friend's budding career, of course. i'll make sure to drag blaine, although i doubt it'll take much convincing. how in the world did you get into bartending though?

[talkwithkurt]

Do you have a twitter or any other social media?

i do! i'm mostly just on instagram and twitter. (and if you somehow find my finsta, go away)

As the pair sat down to change into their shoes, Blaine could barely wipe the smile from his face. This was exactly what they needed - nothing too serious, like going out to dinner, but something where they could both just have fun and remember how much they enjoy being together. He stiffened only slightly at the mention of their last skating date, noticing Kurt pause for a second before continuing to talk and then deciding to put it out of his mind, too. "There was a skating rink in Lima? I had no idea. That would have been great fun, even if it was grimy."

"You ready?" He stood up and held his hand out to Kurt, wobbling only slightly. The hardest part about roller skating, from what he remembered, was always the walk to the actual roller rink once your skates were on. Once Kurt stood up, he held on tightly and led them towards the rink. The music got louder as they tip-toed forwards in their skates, Blaine's eyes widening when he heard the 70s beat. "Kurt!" He turned to his fiancé, "You didn't tell me it was a disco roller rink!" His love of disco had been no secret since their Saturday Night Fever themed lesson in glee club, and he was sure it was something Kurt had taken into consideration.

Once they had made it to the rink, Blaine gave Kurt's hand a final squeeze before letting go. He became hyper-aware of the skaters around him, noticing some that seemed almost professional. Feeling his natural competitiveness rise, he forced himself to focus on the real reason he was here. He looked up at Kurt, trying to read the look on his face. Was he nervous, or was he feeling that same determination? "So, should we take it slowly first? Get used to actually skating? Or do you want to go straight into whatever it is they're doing?" He nodded his head to the left, gesturing to a couple who were currently taking turns to skate through each others legs.

[talkwithkurt]

〝yeah! it ended up closing but it was fun while it lasted. i wish i could have taken you there, you would have loved its retro aesthetic.〞 and as he spoke there was a smile on his face – a warm recollection of a more pleasant memory of the past that was for sure. his warmth only seemed to expand as he grasped onto blaine’s hand and rose up, doing a slight curtsey ( * what he could manage anyway without completely losing his balance ). 〝why yes, i do believe i am ready, kind sir.〞 kurt was certainly glad he wasn’t the only one who seemed to notice the awkward way of having to walk – but any worries about making sure he stepped just right seemed to fade the moment he heard blaine’s excitement. his eyes lifted from the floor to instead land on his fiancé and what a sight that was – even after the time they’ve been together nothing beat the way blaine expressed his happiness. it was endearing, and maybe a small part of kurt was regretfully jealous of how easy it was for him. 〝um…〞 after looking at the couple, kurt contemplated their options with a slight squint before testing the waters and gliding forward a bit to move ahead of blaine. 〝you sure about that? that seems like a surefire way to rip those capris of yours. maybe we should save the tricks for the end of the hour so you don’t have to skate around the whole hour exposing your r2-d2 undies to the citizens of new york.〞 there was humor in his tone while he looked over his shoulder back at blaine – his hand held out to his fiancé in expectancy ( * and to probably preserve his own balance ).

[talkwithkurt]

How is wedding planning going?

let's just say there's not much planning going on right now. we're just slowing things down a bit to try to enjoy things one step at a time – blaine only recently moved back in so.

[talkwithsnixx]

talkwithkurt​:

wait… like in the train itself? or the station? … this is why i hate the subway.

Yup. Actually on the train. It was disgusting. I hate going on it too, but sometimes it’s really the only option. 

[talkwithkurt]

oh, wow. now i'm not sure whether to be entirely alarmed or mildly impressed they got away with that on there. were they crazy enough to offer you any?

[talkwithunique]

Oh hell no, Unique is not happy. This Lima Heights living situation is not working out - I just saw a goddamn roach in my house.

[talkwithkurt]

oh, honey, no. please tell me you're joking.

[talkwithkurt]

If you could live anywhere, where would it be?

well, i already live in new york and to be honest? i don't really see myself anywhere else not right now anyway, i still like the idea of retiring in provincetown when i get to that point. but i don't want to live in brooklyn forever that's for sure. i wouldn't mind living in chelsea or greenwich village though.

[talkwithkurt]

How is your dad?

he's good! i actually haven't seen him since... well since my mid-winter critique at NYADA. but we talk a lot still and thankfully his health hasn't gone backwards again.

[talkwithsnixx]

There’s never a dull moment on the NYC subway system. Today someone decided they were going to start a campfire and cook s’mores in the middle of it. Some people have lives. Go do that shit in Central Park.  @talkwithgleeksstarters​

reunion -> finn & kurt

( @talkwithhudson ) the moment kurt had the name of a hospital where finn was staying, he was calling every single one in the city just to find him. it was like his entire world had shifted – his brain couldn’t comprehend the possibilities and his heart couldn’t bear the thought of this being some elaborate and sick prank. or nightmare. he’d find himself opening his eyes on the couch and all traces of finn would be gone – reality would surely hit and the fantasy of his brother being alive and in new york would be just that, a fantasy. but when a nurse had confirmed that they did indeed have a finn hudson as a patient, kurt could only sit in shock after the call ended. his brother was alive.  kurt knew he should have waited for blaine to be home or possibly just wait for anyone else to accompany him, but his stubbornness and impatience got the best of him when it came to verifying the truth of all of this. so while donning an outfit with shades of color on the lighter side, he took a deep breath and left for the subway to the hospital. by the time he’s talked to the nurses and assured them that he was finn’s family, he all but rushed down the hall to get to finn’s room.  〝oh my god.〞 one of his hands flew up to his mouth the moment he saw finn in the hospital bed and try as he might he just couldn’t help the tears that already began to well up. without another word he took the short steps needed to be at finn’s bedside and bent down to immediately hug him – barely registering the possibility of being gentle with finn in his current state. 〝i can’t believe it’s really you, you’re actually here, i’m actually touching you right now and you’re real. we have to – i have to call carole, a-and dad, i didn’t want to say anything to them yet until i knew for sure but…〞pulling back, kurt could only smile as he wiped at his tears and even laughed a bit from the slight embarrassment at how emotional he had gotten.  〝please tell me you’re staying.〞

[talkwith-blaine]

"Ouch!" Blaine rubbed his arm in an over-exaggerated fashion, a faux-shocked look on his face. "Admit it - in hindsight, it was funny." Although they had been on this train for forty-five minutes already, Blaine found himself wishing for it to go on a little longer. He was so excited for their date, and he was sure the fun would continue when they reached their destination, but their banter on the train was nice. The pair were still getting into the hang of being a couple in New York together, so it wasn't uncommon for a jovial mood between the two to change quickly. After taking a minute to look around and realise exactly where they were, Blaine's eyes finally rested back on Kurt. "Kurt..." He began, unable to hide the smile that had made its way onto his face. "It's not lame at all. It's... amazing. You're amazing." He was sure it had been deliberate - the pair had gone ice skating here on one of Blaine's first visits to New York, back when they had officially broken up for a while - so the gesture of organising a date here again did not go over Blaine's head. Despite not organising the date himself, Blaine found himself almost leading the way to the Rockefeller Center, pulling Kurt along slightly. There was little Blaine enjoyed more than activities, whether that was performing on stage, boxing, or in this case, roller skating. He had done it only once before, but there was little doubt in his mind he would grasp it quickly. Plus, he had Kurt to hold on to. "I see now why you told me to double check my outfit. If I'd known, I would have worn stretchier capris."

[talkwithkurt]

this time it was kurt’s turn to blush from the compliment and reassurance alone. to see the excitement from blaine worked to put his nerves at ease that this had been an awful idea. a smile filled with warmth spread on his face and his own excitement was becoming more visible – compared to the last time they were at the rockefeller center, this was going to be a date that would make up for that last time. so as he squeezed blaine’s arm and allowed the other to drag him to the center, kurt could feel an overwhelming amount of joy. when they had finally reached the line to grab the skates, kurt found himself chuckling before arching an eyebrow and eyeing the other. 〝if you rip your pants, i am not responsible,〞 he had been clearly amused at the embarrassing yet entertaining idea of poor blaine ruining his pair of capris. 〝i’d mend them for you though and guard your assets, of course.〞after handing his card to the cashier, and grabbing the requested size skates, kurt gestured to a seating area closer to the rink. 〝i haven’t skated on anything since that christmas, you know. just to warn you.〞he’s not entirely sure why he brought that up, but after shrugging, he focuses on getting the roller skates on and continues on. 〝you should’ve been in lima when there was this roller skating rink there – as grimy as it was it was honestly pretty fun.〞

[talkwithkurt]

Do you still visit Pavarotti?

oh, pavarotti... a young soul taken from us too early. it's been a long time since i last visited him, to be honest... i really should make time to visit the next time i'm in ohio. maybe with blaine’s help we can round up some of the warblers so we can pay our respects and lay some flowers.

[talkwithkurt]

What is your biggest complaint about your job?

the hours. somedays i feel like it's so demanding there's not enough balance to do much else.

[hwoodtroian]

talkwithkurt​:

please, what do those kids even know about TV? they would jump at a chance to even get an opportunity like that. even if it didn’t turn out… great, but still. i may not be in lima but if you want to watch stupid romcoms over facetime we totally can. plus, we have a lot of catching up to do!

It’s just the first time in a long time where I’ve felt like a complete failure. I know you’re right. I guess I just need to wallow for a while. I’d love to have a Facetime catch up if you have some time. It’d be better to see you in person but I’m sure you’re super busy too. Plus it looks like I’ll be planning a trip pretty soon to go see Finn.

[talkwithkurt]

you're not a failure. but some wallowing is completely acceptable behavior right now. are you kidding though? i'd make time! but trust me, i'd much rather be there in person too, especially with all this with finn... when you do come over here, you know you have a space here in the loft with blaine and i, so don't you worry your pretty head about lodging.
