“Well, it seems like a little too much of a coincidence for it to be just ‘cause of Spring, so…” If he hadn’t known any better than to make assumptions based on the little Blaine had revealed with what he had said, Barry would have jumped to the conclusion that the universe had perhaps decided they could both use yet another bad weather friend. A conclusion that brought a small, amused smile to his lips, for it sounded like something right out of a poorly scripted, particularly corny Disney movie. There was no denying that he had his fair share of friends that he knew would stay with him through thick and thin, friends who were far more loyal and devoted than he believed he deserved, friends who were more like a family to him than anything else. Nevertheless, and taking into consideration everything that had been going on lately, he most certainly would not have minded one more friend to turn to. Not that he expected to drag Blaine into all the craziness his life had been consisting of those past couple of years, but he definitely looked the type who managed to brighten other people’s day simply by standing in the same room with them. “Sweet, what did you have in mind, like a trip?” He chuckled faintly, running a hand through his hair. “Yeah, it’s– I never liked carrying an umbrella around, you know? I feel it’s so impractical, and you’re always gonna end up getting wet anyway, but… I only lasted a couple of blocks before I realized it’s just pouring today.”
“Who knows? Either way. It’s good to see you again. Even if it takes the rain to make us run into each other,” Blaine smiled keeping close enough to stay under the protection of Barry’s umbrella the best he could without completely invading the man’s personal space. Hands in his pockets, a smile was cracked as his chin was tucked towards his collar. “I haven’t thought about leaving the city yet but I’m sure at least a small trip back to Ohio is probably on demand from my parents.” He had to suppress a groan at the thought. Spending time back home would be great for catching up with the few friends he had left there after graduation. But entertaining his parents was a task he didn’t particularly enjoy thinking about. At least he had plenty of time to come up with ways to make school sound far more impressive than it actually was. Okay. He was impressed with NYADA and all it had to offer and fill his days with. At the Anderson household dinner table, however? A normal day at his school just didn’t seem.. Earth to Blaine! Without realizing it, he’d been biting against the inside of his bottom lip and totally zoned out for a moment or two until the rest of what Barry had to say caught up and kicked him in the skull to remind him he had company. Looking back up at Barry’s profile–Blaine grinned and stole a glance at the umbrella overhead. “Well. I guess it’s the idea that counts. Good intentions and all that. So. Um. How about you? Any plans for what’s left of Spring before Summer chases it away?”
