Growing Up...Even While Living With a Broken Heart

Blaine’s storyline this year is not at all about him being 1/2 of klaine - regardless of how much in love with Kurt he is.  Blaine being in love with Kurt (and arguably, underneath his palpable pain, Kurt being in love with Blaine) - isn’t enough for these boys to become adults. Despite those feelings, this year is about each of them doing things on their own, branching out, and choosing things for themselves…and then, as we all hope and know, ultimately choosing each other.

Blaine’s story this year - school president, tempted by Dalton, realizing he wants to stay at McKinley for himself and forgiving himself for cheating, developing friendships with others (Sam, Tina), leading ND, applying to NYADA (and much as the tiresome argumenting about this being for Kurt goes on - Blaine has ALWAYS wanted to go to NY, always wanted to perform, be an artist, and this is a show that takes place in 2 places - Lima and NY- it is a narrative necessity that he be at NYADA to maintain his full character status, so suspend some disbelief and go with it. It’s for him, not Kurt. This isn’t Finn and acting. This is what Blaine has always wanted to do. And Kurt and him have shared this dream.). And there will be some playful stories too - like this upcoming crush…In short, the year is about growing up - for both Kurt and Blaine. Less naive, less perfect, less innocent - more ready to choose each other when it’s time.

I agree with much of this - especially the part in bold (which I bolded for emphasis)
