Author's Notes:

Hi guys =) I planned posting this previous weekend but I didn`t managed that. Hope, you are still interested in my story. Thanks for reading.

 

Kurt went for a walk. He needed to clear his head. Everything was a mass. After two hours of aimless walking he still didn`t have a solution. He came back to the cabin and was pleased that Nick and Wes had made a lunch although the kitchen looked like there had been a bomb thrown down. After lunch Nick and Wes decided to watch some movies. They stood up leaving everything behind them, their steps led to the basement direction.

“What about cleaning up?” Kurt asked them but he could see in their faces they were not going to do that now.

“Are you coming with us?” Nick looked at him when Kurt was still glued to his chair.

“I don`t know…”

“Don`t be silly. They are sleeping. And when they get up they are going to be so hangover they won`t have a power to make another scene. And if they do, we`ll be there to stop them, okay?” Kurt had nothing to do anyway so they convinced him after all. 

 

They were in a half through the second film talking about changing it for another because this one sucked when they heard a weak voice from another side of room.

“Why are you yelling? Tone down a little bit.” All three of them turned their heads to see Lucas`s attempt to stand up. Attempt being a key word here.

“Good morning sleepyhead. Did you sleep well?” If glare could kill, Nick wouldn`t be alive after one Lucas sent him. His head was pounding and he couldn`t remember what had happened.

“How much did we drink?”

“One and half bottle of vodka in an hour.” There was a loud groan. That would be the reason of his aching head. Finally, Lucas managed to stand up by using Mathew`s and Blaine`s bodies as a support only to wake the two up.

“What are you doing?” Mathew sat and put his head to his hands. Kurt watched them anxiously. He caught Blaine`s sight and his heart skipped the beat again. Seriously, it needs to stop before he gets a heart attack. Blaine just shook his head as respond and said: “I think we drink way too much. I am going to shower.” He stood up without any hesitance and headed to the door.

 “It`s all your fault.” Mathew pointed his index finger to Kurt.

“Stop it! You poured it yourself. Nobody was forcing you to drink.” At this point Nick was pissed off. He hoped they would have more sense in them after sleep but apparently he was wrong. “It`s your fault. Leave him alone.”

“He`s right.” Blaine said and Kurt for a split second thought everything would be ok. “Nobody was forcing us. We can`t get drunk every time some guy plays with us.”

“I was NOT playing with you!” Kurt`s scream echoed the room. He wanted to have a decent conversation with Blaine but it seemed impossible.

“You can call it whatever you want. I don`t care.” The door shut behind him the moment Kurt`s eyes started wetting for a hundredth time in last five hours.

 “Ouch… Did he have to make loud noises?” Lucas valuated his options and the best one was to go outside, breathing fresh air might help. The events of previous hours made their way to his conscious. Blaine after four shots admitted what had happened between Kurt and him. Lucas was struggling with putting two and two together. Kurt had something with Blaine, but everybody knows he is in love with me. I didn`t know, Blaine neither. Was he doing it so I notice him? No, it doesn`t sound like Kurt. We know each other for years. He wouldn`t do anything like that… Does it mean Kurt doesn`t have feelings for me anymore and has feelings for Blaine now? What am I going to do? In my craziest dreams I wouldn`t say Kurt could have possibly feel something for me. We are friends. We spend a lot of time together. Lot of alone time together… I like spending time with him. We understand each other. Kurt has a special place in my life but I am not attracted to him. There isn`t chemistry or passion. There is understanding and friendship. Isn`t that some kind of love too? God, my head is going to explode… Lucas was slowly coming to realization why he didn`t have a need to find a boyfriend in last six month. One night stands were good enough because except sex he got everything he needed from Kurt. The missing puzzle piece found his way to the picture, but he wasn`t quite ready to see it yet.

 

Kurt poured some water to glass and put there two slices of lemon. He sat next to Mathew and handed it to him.

“Really? After everything I`ve done to you today?” Mathew was ashamed of himself. Hurt pride made him attack Blaine, later he told Kurt`s secret and in the end he basically accused him of everything bad that happened. In spite of that, Kurt was sitting next to him, giving him his hangover beverage.

“Drink it.” Kurt ordered and Mathew knew better than argue about it. The glass was empty after few seconds. Mathew already felt less sick.

“Thank you.”

 “You`re welcome. You look terrible. Get yourself together.” Kurt tried to stand up but Mathew`s hand on his wrist stopped him.

“Kurt, wait. I`ll fix it.” Kurt scoffed at him.

“You`ve done enough. Please, stay out of my way.”And with those words he left the room.

 

Kurt closed himself in his room. He wanted to talk to Blaine, but he was still mad at him. He heard how Blaine went from bathroom to his room so he took all the courage he had and knocked on Blaine`s door.

“It`s open.” He pushed the doorknob and when he saw Blaine standing by the window with his back to him every bad memory from this day disappeared. All he could think of was how good it felt when he was kissing and holding Blaine previous night.

“Do you need something?” He asked coolly and Kurt was in reality once again.

“Blaine, I…I want to explain you how it is…I wanna tell you about Lucas and me…”

“There is nothing to explain. You like him. It`s ok. Yesterday, it was a fling. Things like that happened sometimes.”

 “A fling?” He couldn`t believe Blaine said that.

“Yeah. It didn`t mean anything. You should probably focus on Lucas more. We are fine.”

“You are fine?” Kurt felt like a fool repeating Blaine`s words but he couldn`t believe them. 

“Of course, I`m fine. You aren`t fine?” Blaine`s expression remained unchanged, bored almost although it cost him a lot of power to act like it was nothing. He felt betrayed. Thought of Lucas made him sick.

 “Actually, I`m not. But if you feel this way, I`m not important.” Blaine`s heart broke when Kurt closed the door behind him. He wanted to hug Kurt, to tell him he is important. The most important in the whole world for him…but he didn`t. He didn`t need Kurt`s pity. Kurt should go to Lucas. Now, when he knew, it wouldn`t take a long time for them to get together. He kicked the bed. He could handle Mathew but could never be a consolation price for Lucas. 

 

Rest of the day flew without any problems. Mood wasn`t very cheerful, but they had some fun. Kurt and Blaine were avoiding each other, they literally didn`t say a word to each other. Turn of 180 degrees in comparison with previous evening.

“He followed him as a lost puppy yesterday, today he barely looks at him. What`s wrong with him?” Nick was mad at Blaine. Kurt didn`t deserve a silence treatment.

“Come with me.” Nick told Kurt and took him upstairs. They made a coffee and Nick encouraged Kurt to talk to him.

“Blaine is not talking to me. Lucas is nervous around me and Mathew is acting like everything is ok. Everything sucks. And you know what? I would do the same if I had chance to take back the time.” Kurt`s eyes was filled with unshed tears.

“Blaine is more angry with himself than he is with you. You got under his skin. And Lucas finally realized your friendship is more than standard relationship between friends and he is confused. Probably doesn`t know what to do. And Mathew? He screwed up and he knows it. Give it a time. It`ll be ok soon.”

 “I hope so. I am tired. I think I`ll go to sleep.”

 

When Nick came back to basement Wes was surprised not see Kurt with him.

“Where is Kurt?”

“He was tired. He went to sleep.” Mathew looked at his watch.

“At nine?” Nick rage achieved its final point and gave him piece of his mind.

“Yeah, at nine. You had a nap today but he didn`t. You gave him a hard time. I don`t understand what was it about. I didn`t want to tell anything in front of him but he is not here now so I have something to tell you. You are jerks. Blaine, you finally hit on someone but then you change your mind. What if there was Lucas before? Who cares? Don`t you think that maybe Kurt was with you yesterday because Lucas is out of the game? I suppose you don`t. And Lucas, for god sake, how could you not see Kurt wanted you? Ok, last few weeks wasn`t so obvious, but when we started to hang out it was undeniable. I wasn`t surprised Blaine didn`t know. He wouldn`t know someone is hitting on him even if the guy told him he is but you didn`t seem to have a problem with it when it was about one night stands. You always knew who wanted you and who wasn`t interested. Now, you are nervous around him but nothing changed. Kurt is still Kurt. And Mathew – you made so many mistakes today. Why did you do what you did this morning? I mean…I can understand why you punched Blaine. You didn`t think because you were mad. But why did you tell Kurt`s secret? Why is he still your weak spot? Do you still have feelings for him?”

 “I don`t. I mean, I like him. I like him a lot, but I don`t love him anymore if it is what you are asking.”

“Oh… so let`s have this clear. You are like a little kid. You don`t want to play with a toy anymore, but you don`t want another kid to play with it either, right? How old are you guys? You are not in a high school. You took your problems and insecurities on the wrong person. Kurt didn`t do anything. We persuaded him to come because he needed to relax, changed the air. And what did he get here? You hurt him and made him feel like a crap. Hope you are happy.” He didn`t wait for an answer. He finished his beer and went to bed. Wes looked at his friends and he could tell they were ashamed. None of them said anything but they seemed to be deep in their thoughts.

 “Kurt is a great guy. You should be pleased he gives you so much attention. If he doesn`t like each of you so much your friendship with him would be over after how you treated him today. Please, turn the lights off when you go bed. Goodnight.” Blaine, Mathew and Lucas followed their example and went to bed. None of them was in the mood for some fun. Blaine considered knocking on Kurt`s door and apologizing to him but he changed his mind. One apology wouldn`t change a thing.

 

 “You have to come again…in a better circumstances.”Wes told Nick as he was giving his suitcase to a car. Nick smiled.

“I`ll go with them separately. Or I`ll just take Kurt. You know, I really didn`t like him when he was with Mathew. He seemed to be too uptight, controlling… I saw their problems from Mathew`s perspective and sometimes I thought Kurt was crazy. But he is great. Mathew and he weren`t meant to be. And I doubt he and Lucas are meant to be either…” Wes agreed with him. None of them said anything about Kurt and Blaine though.

Kurt was sitting on the swing waiting for time to leave. He was wondering how it would be with them when they come back home. Should he stop hanging out with them? He didn`t like the idea at all. He let it be and time would show. It always worked that way. Someone started pushing swing back and forth. Kurt turned his head and saw Blaine shyly smiling at him.

“Can I?” Kurt simply nodded and let him sit next to him.

“Kurt, I am so sorry. I was acting like a total jerk. If it is possible I would like to forget about this weekend. Do you think we can go back where we were before Friday night? I mean, you are the best team mate I`ve ever had. We are unstoppable in pool game.” He winked at Kurt and at that moment Kurt knew the old Blaine was back. Although Kurt wasn`t sure if he could forget about Friday night, he would definitely try his best to make their friendship work.

“We are leaving!” Lucas shouted to let them know he was ready to go. Blaine and Kurt went to the cars and said goodbye to Wes. Blaine opened the door for Kurt but didn`t sit next to him as Kurt supposed.

“I`m going with Mathew. My apartment is on his way home.” He closed the door, waved them and took passenger seat in Mathew`s car.

 

Kurt was silent during their way home. He was afraid that things wouldn`t be as they used to… Lucas took Nick home first and then he parked his car in front of Kurt`s apartment. Leah wasn`t at home and Kurt couldn`t wait till she would be back. He had so much to tell her.

“Are you hungry?” Kurt asked Lucas as he observed leftovers in a fridge.

“Yeah…we can order a pizza.”

Pizza came in half an hour later. They were sitting on a living room floor and eating when Lucas couldn`t take it anymore.

“Why are you quiet? Are you angry with me? I know the weekend was horrible…”

“I am not angry with you.” Kurt interrupted him. “I`m worried. You know how I hate uncertainty. A lot of happened and it`ll influence at least three of my friendships…”

“What do you mean?”

“Everything will probably change with Mathew, Blaine and you…” Lucas shook his head.

“Kurt, nothing will change between us. I swear. We are the same friends as we were on Friday, okay?” Kurt nodded and turned on the TV.

“Discovery channel?” He asked though he knew the answer.

 

When Mathew left Blaine in front of his house, he went straight to Peter`s. During the weekend he realized that relationship based on sex didn`t satisfy him as he wished, but it was at least some indication of relationship and he didn`t want to be alone. Before he knocked on Peter`s door, he had decided to call Blaine.

“Hi, did you forget something?”

“Actually, yes. I did. I don`t mind if you want to give it a try with Kurt. Nick was right yesterday about my childish behavior. But don`t take too long. Lucas may try it too.”

“I am not giving it a try. I don`t like playing second fiddle. But thanks.” Blaine hung up and after a brief inspection in his empty fridge he headed for supermarket.
