Last night we went to bed not talking
Cause we already said too much
I face the wall you faced the window
Bound and determined not to touch
“I don’t understand why you can’t just support me!” Kurt shouted at his husband.
“I don’t support you?!” Blaine scoffed. “I can’t believe you just said that.”
“Well, what the fuck, Blaine? If you supported me you would support me on this!”
Blaine shook his head. “Did you ever think about the fact that I can’t be without you for six god damn months?” Blaine took a step closer to Kurt and lowered his voice. “Kurt, baby, please. Please. It’s six months. You’d be overseas for six months.”
Kurt’s eyes welled with tears. “You could come with me,” he said quietly.
Blaine laughed darkly. “And just leave in the middle of the school year? Give up on my dreams so you can chase yours?” Blaine shook his head and backed up a step. “I didn’t think you were that selfish, Kurt.”
Kurt’s head snapped up. “Selfish?! Who’s the selfish one here, Blaine?” Glasz eyes met hazel in an intense stare full of contempt and fear. “You won’t even consider the possibility! This could be huge for my career, Blaine! I could finally make it in this business!”
“Is that all you care about, Kurt? What about me? Our life? What about us? Stop and think about this for a second. You’d be gone, Kurt. For half a year! You’d miss my birthday and Valentine’s Day! You’d be willing to give all of this up to go to Paris for six months?”
Kurt paused for a moment. When he spoke again, his voice was lower. “If it would help me make a name for myself in fashion and maybe gain me some respect, why shouldn’t I?” Kurt’s gaze softened. “Blaine, its six months, it’s not that long of a time. What’s one birthday and Valentine’s Day apart in the grand scheme of things? We’ve done it before.”
“And we promised each other that we’d never do that again. Or did you forget that?” Blaine turned around and faced the clock. “I can’t even look at you right now.”
Kurt took a tentative step towards Blaine and then stopped. “It’s late. We have to work tomorrow. Let’s go to bed.”
Blaine nodded and the two walked silently to their bedroom. They changed into their bedclothes without exchanging a word. They climbed into bed and faced opposite sides of the room. They listened to each other breathe and eventually each fell into a restless sleep.
