Chapter Text
The day they’ve been looking forward to was finally here. Graduation Day! Blaine and Sam could not be happier. With another Nationals Championship under their belts, they were ready to move on to the next phase of their lives, college. Tina and Artie were going to NYU to study music and film respectively. Blaine was going to NYADA to study music and dance, also to be closer to Kurt.
Although Kurt turned down Blaine’s marriage proposal, he did agree to see where things went once Blaine got to NY. The only one who would not be in NY was Sam. He got a full scholarship to OSU and planed to go there. Blaine was happy that his best friend got into college, but was sad that he wouldn’t be in NY with him.
Blaine’s parents decided to throw a graduation party for the graduates, and invited all of their friends from glee and the Warblers. This included the graduates from last year who had come to support their friends. Everyone was having a good time enjoying the food, music and each other, but Blaine seemed distracted and Kurt wanted to know why.
“Why the long face? Aren’t you enjoying your party?” Kurt asked.
“Yeah I am, it’s just that Sam’s not here and it’s just as much his party as it is mine.”
Kurt was not thrilled that Blaine’s thoughts were on Sam and not on him. He did not like the closeness that developed between Blaine and Sam. Kurt had heard about Blaine’s little crush on Sam, and the fact that Sam knew about it and was ok with it. He also knew that Sam had helped Blaine get over their break-up and the two becoming best friends.
Kurt felt like he was no longer the most important person in Blaine’s life any more. He was hoping that Sam wouldn’t show up to the party at all, and was glad that Sam would not be coming to NY.
“Maybe something came up and he couldn’t make it. That’s no reason for you not to enjoy the party, and besides I’m here so what more do you need?”
Blaine just looked at him, but before he could respond his parents walked over.
“Blaine is everyone enjoying themselves?” his mother asked.
“Yes, everyone is having a great time. Thank you so much for doing this.”
“You’re welcome son. It was nothing. We’re just so proud of you.” Blaine’s father said.
“Hello Mr. and Mrs. Anderson” Kurt chimed in.
“Hello” they both stated rather coldly.
They were not very fond of Kurt. They were aware of the break up and knew that Blaine was wrong for cheating. They also knew why he cheated and felt that after everything Blaine gave up for Kurt at McKinley, Kurt was wrong for the way he treated Blaine after he moved to NY.
“You know, had I accepted Blaine’s proposal I guess I would be calling you mom and dad now.”
“No Mr. and Mrs. Anderson would have been fine.” Blaine’s dad said.
He was happy that Kurt turned Blaine down and hoped the he would not ask again.
“Where is Sam honey? I haven’t seen him all evening.” Blaine’s mother asked.
“I don’t know. I haven’t seen him since after the ceremony. I tried calling him, but he hasn’t answered.”
Just then Sam came walking up looking like he won the lottery. Kurt couldn’t help noticing the smile that broke out on Blaine’s face at seeing Sam.
“I’m so sorry I’m late. I just got the best news ever. Excuse my manners, hi Mr. and Mrs. Anderson, Kurt.”
“Sam, how many times do we have to tell you, you’re like family, its Laura and James for you, ok.”
Kurt could not believe his ears.
“Yes Laura!”
“So, what’s your good news Sam?”
“Ok, so I went home to change for the party when Carole told me there was a package for me on the table from The Pratt Institute. Guess what? I got in, with a full scholarship. I just have to pay for room and board.”
“So this means you’re coming to NY?” Blaine asked.
“I’m coming to NY!”
“OH MY GOD!” Blaine could not hold in his excitement as he jumped in Sam’s arms giving him a huge hug.
Blaine’s parents were also happy for Sam. Kurt was the only one who did not share in the excitement.
“Sam, what about OSU? Didn’t they offer you a full scholarship including room and board?” Kurt asked.
“Yeah they did, but Pratt was my first choice.”
“Wouldn’t it make more sense financially to go to OSU? How will you pay for room and board at Pratt?”
“It probably would make more sense financially to go to OSU, but I want Pratt. So I would just have to get a full time job to pay for room and board.”
“When would you have time to study with a full time job, and not to mention having a life, won’t that be a bit much?”
“If I didn’t know any better Kurt I’d think you didn’t want me in NY.”
Blaine was about to say something when his father stepped forward after sharing a look with his mom.
“We may have a solution for that problem.”
“Of course you do.” Kurt said to himself.
“Sweetheart, we were going to wait to give you your graduation gift, but now is as good of time as any. We knew that all of your stuff would not fit in some small dorm room. I mean your hair care products need a room of their own by themselves. So we were going to buy you a condo or a nice brownstone somewhere near you school. Whatever you decide, now we’ll just have to make sure it’s big enough for two people and close to both NYADA and Pratt. This way Sam you can live there with you, and will just have to get a part time job like Blaine to pay for food and utilities.”
“Mrs. I mean Laura that is too generous. I can’t accept that. I would never be able to pay you back for this.”
“Sam, you wouldn’t have to pay us back. We told you you’re like family. Besides it will actually be us paying you back for being there for Blaine when he was going through that difficult time.” Blaine’s mom says as she glances over at Kurt.
“Yeah Sam you’re family and my best friend and it would mean a lot to me to have you there.”
“Are you guys sure you’re ok with this?” Sam asked Blaine and his parents.
“We are absolutely sure Sam. Please let us do this for you.” Blaine’s father said.
“Ok then. I guess you and I are going to be roommates.”
Kurt could not believe what he was hearing. Blaine’s parents never offered to do anything for Kurt. Hell he still had to address them as Mr. and Mrs. Anderson while Sam was on the first name bases with them.
Blaine, almost forgetting about Kurt grabbed Sam’s hand and headed over to the rest of their friends.
“Let’s go tell everyone the good news that you’ll be coming to NY with us after all.”
“Ah, Blaine, can I have a word with you for a minute?”
“Can it wait Kurt? I’m so excited about Sam coming to NY I just want to tell everyone now.”
“Yeah, sure it can wait.”
Kurt was not happy at all about Sam coming to NY and even less happy that he and Blaine will be roommates, as he slowly made his way over to the rest of the group behind Blaine and Sam. Everyone else was happy for Sam.
(Mean while!)
“I was starting to worry that your contact over at Pratt wasn’t going to come through for us.” Laura said.
“Well, it turns out he didn’t have to do anything after all. Sam got in without any help. His application was just missing a letter of recommendation that the school counselor had to fax over. That’s why his acceptance letter was so late.”
“Great, that’s even better. And with you great idea for him and Blaine to live together hopefully everything will work out for the better. Sam and Blaine will realize that they belong together, and Kurt will be out of the picture for good.”
“Yeah Laura, but do you think it’s a good idea to try and push those two together? Sam’s not even gay.”
“No, but he isn’t straight either. He just doesn’t know it yet, but he’ll figure it out soon enough. Trust me. No one has ever made Blaine smile the way that Sam does, not even Kurt. This is going to work out just fine.” Blaine’s mother says as she turns and wave to a happy Blaine and Sam.
