Hi =) How was your weekend? We are rebuilding our kitchen right now so I spent mine mostly cleaning up after workers. That's why I am a day late. I'm sorry. I hope you don't mind my lateness that much and that you will like the chapter. =)
Blaine fell into an uneasy sleep after all, only to be woken up from a nightmare...or something he considered to be a nightmare. In his dream, Kurt was all over his ex-boyfriend, intentionally making Blaine jealous and they were laughing right in his face. What was the worse moment that made Blaine toss awake was Kurt saying I love you to Ben. First. He said it first.
Blaine had to gain a conscious level before he reminded himself, that Kurt had never loved Ben. He even said so. There was no way Kurt would leave Blaine for Ben. But the words Ben told him in the coffee shop were still fresh in his head: How long do you think will he stick around? He is probably already one foot out the door. Even though Blaine refused to believe Ben was right, he couldn't get their brief encounter from the morning out of his mind. It was the first time he had talked to the guy. In almost two years he was part of Kurt's life it was the first time that Ben had a courage to approach him. He just wished Kurt's ex-boyfriend was as classy as his own had been when he'd met Kurt…
It was just a few months ago, when they were visiting their families during their Spring break. Kurt's dad had an appointment with his doctor and Kurt wanted to be there even though it was just a regular check-up. Blaine had the Warblers reunion that week. They spent a few days in Westerville before Kurt went to Lima.
Blaine was pretty excited about the reunion. It was held every five years, generations of former Warblers coming with their partners and other halves, remembering their time at Dalton. Blaine was curious whether he would get to talk only to guys he knew or if he maybe exchange a few words with older Warblers as well. He didn't ask Kurt to go with him. It was tradition for Warblers to come with their significant others but Blaine couldn't really imagine Kurt in the midst of all that preppiness. He would do it, without a doubt, but Blaine didn't want him to be uncomfortable so he didn't even mention the possibility of Kurt coming with him.
He came right on time. His dad dropped him off at the big Dalton parking lot that was almost completely full. Blaine looked around but he couldn't find any familiar faces amongst the crowd. He went inside and as soon as he stepped into the first room, he was attacked from behind and engulfed in a bear hug.
"I missed you so much, cutie." A soft voice whispered into his ear and Blaine couldn't help himself not to shiver.
"I missed you too, Wyatt." Blaine said truthfully as he returned the hug.
"I want you just for myself at least for a while tonight, okay? We have a lot to catch up on...Gosh, look at you. As handsome as ever. I can't believe it's been almost three years since I last saw you."
"We agreed it was for the best."
"We agreed to stay in touch too but apparently we can't keep our promises."
"Oh come on, we stayed in touch."
"Email, once a month, barely more than ten sentences isn't staying in touch, babe."
"I've never heard you complaining."
"I'm complaining now." Wyatt smiled at him and grabbed his hand to lead him to the table.
"That's Wyatt and Blaine!" Someone screamed and soon Blaine was surrounded with his friends, more and more coming as the time passed. It was good to be in their presence. It brought back old memories and they talked and laughed, doing stupid - and for such preppy boys - inappropriate things during a dean's speech in the big Dalton hall.
They had dinner, staying together and messing up the seating but with Blaine's politeness and other guys' craziness, they couldn't be denied anything. Everything went smoothly and since Blaine wasn't the only one there without a partner, he didn't mind Kurt's absence that much. He missed him, especially when he saw couples dancing after dinner, however he still had his friends around and they kept him busy.
"Do you wanna dance?" Wyatt asked him as he once again glanced at the dancefloor.
"No," Blaine shook his head. "I'm fine."
"Do you remember our last dance?"
"Wyatt, don't. Okay?"
"Why not? We've been talking about everything but us, Blaine. That's ridiculous! It's part of our past, why are you so uptight about it?"
"Because it is our past. I don't see how talking about us and what we were is going to help either of us tonight." Blaine crossed his arms at his chest, his eyes fixed anywhere but his ex-boyfriend. He didn't want to hurt him but, with the way Wyatt was looking at him, the same way he'd looked at him when they were an item, causing pain seemed to be inevitable.
"I was looking into school in New York." Wyatt blurted out, making Blaine turn his head and gape at him.
"What?!"
"Do you ever regret it?"
"Regret what?"
"Us breaking up...I tried to move on but it's impossible, Blaine. There is no one like you out there. I love California but I feel like we didn't give us a chance. I want to have that chance, Blaine."
"I have a boyfriend. I-I'm sorry but I don't regret a thing. You can't keep looking for me in others. You need to be with them for who they are. My boyfriend is nothing like you and I love him more than anything. You will find someone, Wyatt. Just give it time. We wouldn't work out. You know we wouldn't."
"How do you know that?"
"I don't want to be mean. I still care about you so don't take this wrong, please. It's just me being honest. I love Kurt. It's a different kind of love than what we had but I feel like that's it for me. He is it for me…"
"Is he?" Wyatt asked bitterly. "Then why isn't he here? One would think this was a great opportunity to show him off…"
"He would have come if he knew he was supposed to...I didn't tell him. This isn't his world. He is a free spirit and Dalton is too uptight for him. I didn't want to make him uncomfortable."
"There's something fishy about it, Blaine."
"There is not." Blaine objected, getting frustrated. A low whistle startled him and he glared at Sebastian sitting next to him.
"What the hell, man?"
"Look," Seb motioned his head to the guy standing at the entrance. "I don't know who he's here with but apparently they don't give him the attention he deserves. I'm gonna tap that tonight."
"No, you're not." Blaine stated.
"He is looking in our direction. Go on being all I don't love you anymore and let me be. I have a guy to seduce."
"It's not gonna work, Seb." But Sebastian didn't listen. The guy came toward them and Seb immediately outstretched his hand to him.
"Hey, hot stuff. I'm Sebastian."
"Hi, handsome." The blue eye beauty said to Blaine, ignoring Sebastian.
"Hi." Blaine breathed with a smile that could definitely cure cancer.
"So," Sebastian interrupted. "I'm gonna tell you right away, that this guy is taken," he motioned toward Blaine, "and he also has to deal with his ex-boyfriend who wants to get back together with him. I suggest we get lost and leave them to work on their issues. What do you say?"
"Ex-boyfriend?" The guy seized Wyatt up. "Interesting."
"I saw an open bar in the next room. Mind having a drink with me?" He turned back to Blaine.
"Are you deaf? He has a boyfriend!" Wyatt stood in front of Blaine, making the new guy snicker.
"Didn't stop YOU in pursuing him a while ago."
"Kurt," Blaine took guy's hand. "It's okay."
"Kurt? The boyfriend Kurt?"
"Do you have any problem with it?" Kurt asked, narrowing his eyes at Wyatt dangerously.
"No." Wyatt raised his hands. "Not at all. I'm sorry. I should have backed off when Blaine told me he was in a relationship. Please, accept my apology. It won't happen again."
"I hope not." Was the only thing Kurt said, multiplying the thick air between them.
"This is your boyfriend?" Seb asked, stunned. "You surely knows how to pick 'em. Jesus, I would have never thought you have it in you. Getting a guy like this...I have to bow before you, Anderson. I also want to remind you that I am the one who taught you all the tricks about hitting on guys so maybe you could consider a little fun in three? You know, as a way to thank me."
"The only fun we are ever going to consider is the fun between the two of us," Kurt responded coldly and Sebastian smirked at him.
"Not to brag, Kurt, but I was told I'm an animal in bed. You shouldn't be so quick in your judgment." Kurt took a step closer, getting right into Sebastian's personal space.
"Back off or your stupid face will have fun with my fist."
"Okay, I guess we're going to get some drinks. See you guys around." Blaine dragged Kurt out of there, afraid of bringing too much attention to them.
"What are you doing here?"
"I wanted to be your plus one tonight." Kurt mumbled, embarrassed. "I didn't mean to make a scene…" Blaine took two glasses of white wine and led Kurt deeper into Dalton halls. They ended up sitting on the windowsill in the quiet area.
"Sebastian had it coming. Don't worry about it...I-I'm sorry, Kurt, I just can't believe you are here. I really could use a plus one tonight. Especially a hot plus one as yourself."
"Why didn't you ask me to come with you then? Are you ashamed of me?"
"What? No! Of course not!"
"Your mom thought we were going together. She was thrilled and tried to give me some advice on how to survive in this environment. I didn't know what she was talking about at first. Then she explained to me how it is a tradition to come with your significant other to any Dalton event. I was waiting for you to say something but you never did. I was wondering what was wrong with me and why you didn't want me here. I was on the phone with Rachel, sulking and she ordered me to dress up and go...to surprise you. It seemed like a good idea at the time...I'm sorry that I came unannounced and I'm sorry if I embarrassed you in front of your friends. I just don't like when someone is claiming what is not theirs. I can go home...My dad won't be that far away from here. He can come back for me…"
"No! I'm glad you're here!" Blaine squeezed his hand.
"Really?" Kurt asked hopefully, his lips finally letting go of a frown and forming a half smile.
"Really. I didn't tell you anything because this isn't your thing at all. I wanted you to enjoy your time with your family instead of being on a formal private school event."
"I enjoy my time whenever and wherever I am as long as I'm with you…"
"Come here," Blaine whispered and cupped Kurt's face in his hand, bringing him in for a tender kiss.
"So…" Kurt trailed off, biting his lower lip. "It's not because you wanted to spend some alone time with your ex? To find out if there is still something?"
"Is that what you were thinking?"
"I was trying to come up with some reason why you would keep me away from here…" Kurt kept his eyes on the floor, insecurities basically seeping through him. Blaine put his fingers under his chin to lift his head up.
"I love you, Kurt. You and nobody else. There is nothing between me and Wyatt. It ended with high school and it'll stay that way. He was a bit melancholic tonight but I told him I have a boyfriend who I love very much. Nothing would happen."
"I know. I know you wouldn't cheat on me. I trust you but…"
"But?"
"I was afraid you would find out there were still some feelings and you would break up with me…"
"That's not gonna happen."
"Good." Kurt nodded and leaned forward to kiss Blaine's cheek. "I'm sorry I was acting like a jerk back in there."
"You weren't. It was fun seeing Sebastian lose for once. He broke too many hearts for one person."
"What now?"
"Now we are going to drink this wine and I'm going to introduce you to my old friends."
"Sounds great," Kurt sent him a wide smile. "Do you think you're up for some shenanigans tonight?"
"What do you have in mind?"
"Since you got much better about breaking rules, I was wondering if we could find a janitor's closet..."
"What for?"
"A make out session?" Blaine laughed, long and loud, shaking his head in disbelief. "Are you serious right now?"
"Well, it's not like I could do it at McKinley. I feel like I didn't have a proper high school experience when it comes to dating. We are in a high school now so I thought…" Kurt shrugged his shoulders, sipping from his wine.
"Okay. We're not going into the janitor's closet but Dalton has impressive bleachers. Mind kissing me there?"
"I don't mind kissing you anywhere, baby."
"Very well then. Let's go back. We can find my friends and dance a bit. I promise to sneak out for that make out before we go home." Blaine stood up and offered his hand to Kurt. "Ready?"
"As I'll ever be. I'm sorry in advance if I do something inappropriate. I'm not built for this."
"You're built for me. That's all that matters."
"Sap." Kurt teased him.
"Love you."
"I love you too, Blaine."
