Disclaimer: No I don't own Glee. If I did Kurt would have been in the episode & lost more Sebastian.
Blaine had to find something to do; if he didn't then he would go insane. He couldn't, no he wouldn't sit at home and flip through the scrapbook of him and Kurt for one more day, waiting for the older boy to call him or even text. When Sam pulled him into a classroom to tell him about the new club for super fans of superheroes he wanted to start, Blaine jumped. Not only did he love X-men and Batman, but it was a way he could keep the bullying out of the hallway. It was a perfect idea to get his mind away from his empty heart.
He smiled at his costume in the full length mirror in his room. He had spent the night with his mom to make sure he looked very similar to Nightwing, but had some differences so he wouldn't break the rules. He had made up a name and everything. He was very proud to jump into the kitchen the next morning, hands on his hips to show off his costume. "I'm Nightbird and I protect the streets during the night so no villains harm innocent bystanders in their attempt to take over the world.
His mother laughed and smiled fondly at him. "You look so great, Blainey. Now you are going to wear this all day at school, or are you taking it and changing?"
"We wear our costumes all day once a week, but since this is the first week we will be wearing them all day each day. It's actually pretty comfy though. Also a great upgrade from my previous costume for Superhero Sidekicks club. I moved on from Robin to Nightbird. I really like the cape though, Mom. Thanks for helping me."
"You are very welcome; now let me take a picture of you so I can show Ku-"
Blaine froze as he reached into the fridge for milk. He had been able to not think of Kurt for a while, but the name still sent chills through his body. He grabbed the milk and walked to the counter. "I'm sorry," she apologized quietly. "I keep forgetting that you two are broken up."
"It's fine," Blaine said coolly. "He would appreciate your craftsmanship. I'm pretty sure that my cape would be bedazzled though. He just loved to sparkle things up."
His mom laughed. "Is that why your one bag has all those jewels on it? I saw it when I walked into you room last night. It looks very nice."
"He went a little crazy when I got him the kit for our anniversary," Blaine explained with a smile. He found himself so easily to slip into the past. Kurt's smile when he opened it and how he threw himself at his boyfriend before kissing him senseless. The memory was so painful though. They were so happy once. "But that doesn't matter anymore."
"I'm glad you are getting back out there," she said after a long silence. "Doing this club and having Sam come over, it's nice to see you living again. I couldn't take it when you were cooped up in your room. The breakup was hard on you, but you are in recovery now."
"I still hurt."
"You will always hurt. You loved Kurt, and I'm sure you probably always will. Now you should get going. Have a good day fight crime in the halls of McKinley."
Blaine smiled and kissed her on the cheek before running out of the house just because the cape flew behind him. When he got to school he smiled as he saw Sam. "Hey, Dude you look awesome!" Sam exclaimed as he jogged to catch up with him. "I wanted to go with a costume like yours, but with me living at the Hummel's and the lack of money this was the best I could come up with. Burt let me borrow one of Kurt's old suits and I had the black turtleneck. This thing, whatever it is, is something Carole said would look good."
"It's a pocket handkerchief, Sam," Blaine informed with a teasing smile. "Who doesn't know what a pocket handkerchief is?"
"Hey!" Sam said in defense. "I'm not gay, Blaine. I don't know what the need for some dumb cloth thing is, but your costume is out of this world! Did you buy it?"
