Kurt and Blaine spent the next few weeks exploring. They explored the town a little and got to know which restaurants were the most accepting. They explored each other, not just sexually but emotionally. Kurt learned that Blaine didn't like to talk about his family, and Blaine learned that Kurt didn't like certain restaurants because Sebastian had taken him there.

For their 2 month anniversary, Kurt chose to go to Chez Emilie for dinner. It was one of the fancier places for dinner, they were accepting of everyone, and even though he'd been there with Sebastian a few times, it wasn't Breadstix.

They were happily sitting at a table in the back, holding hands and sharing a bottle of wine when Kurt froze.

"Kurt? What's wrong? Are you okay?"

Kurt shifted his eyes back to Blaine. "I...yeah. I'm fine." He smiled.

Blaine eyed him suspiciously. "Kurt, what's wrong?"

He sighed. "Okay, so you know how we've avoided a lot of restaurants?"

"Yeah, cause of Sebastian."

"Well we probably should have avoided this one too."

Blaine stared at him, utterly confused for a minute. "Wait, he's here?"

Kurt nodded and pointed across the restaurant where Sebastian was holding another guy's hand.

Blaine sighed. "Shit, Kurt I'm sorry. Listen, I'll pay up the bill and we'll grab something on the way home and come back tomorrow."

Kurt smiled and shook his head. "No, it's fine. I'm not going to let him ruin our night. Besides, I doubt he'll even see us. And even if he does, I'm spending a wonderful night out with my hot boyfriend." He took Blaine's hand and kissed his fingers.

They ordered dinner and Kurt tried to pull his mind from the other side of the restaurant. He hadn't seen Sebastian since they broke up. He'd deleted his number, everything. And now he was sitting there with another guy. Another guy who could be going through the same thing Kurt did. He turned to Blaine, who had been saying...something.

He sighed. "Blaine, I'm sorry."

"For?"

Kurt glanced at the table and then back at Blaine. "I'm not going to feel better about this unless I talk to him."

Blaine took a deep breath and nodded. He eyed Sebastian closely, trying to figure out if he could take him in a fight. He was taller, but he was also really stick-like.

Kurt got up from the table and walked over to Sebastian's.

"Hello."

Sebastian's head shot up. He smiled. "Kurt, what a surprise. What brings you here tonight?"

Kurt folded his arms protectively over his chest and pointed with his finger without breaking his stance. "I'm just out with my boyfriend when I saw you. Who's this?"

Sebastian took the hand of the guy he was with and Kurt felt a pang of jealousy.

"This is Thad. Thad this is Kurt, my ex boyfriend."

Thad smiled. "Hi Kurt."

Kurt smiled. "You know you don't have to stay with him."

"Uh, excuse me?"

Kurt turned his back so he was only facing Thad. "I was trapped in a relationship with him for too long. And you can leave, especially if he's abusive. Trust me, he's not worth it."

Thad eyed Sebastian. "Uh, what's he talking about, Seb?"

Sebastian shook his head. "He's overreacting. Remember I told you about the ex that tried to sabotage my relationships?" He pointed at Kurt.

Thad nodded in understanding and Kurt shook his head. "Clearly. Enjoy your dinner." He stormed back to his table. "Can we go?"

Blaine had been watching the whole thing from his seat and nodded quickly. He handed Kurt the keys. "You go get in the car, I'll pay the bill."

Kurt hurried out to the car as Blaine flagged down a waiter. He apologized for cancelling their orders, explaining that his dining partner had come down with a case of flu like symptoms. He sipped his drink as the waiter pulled up their bill.

Kurt opened the car and threw himself into the passenger seat. He'd been planning on driving but he knew anger and driving wouldn't end well. He put the keys in the ignition to turn on the radio, but nothing caught his ear. He threw the door open and hopped out. He needed to walk or run or pace. Something to get that jackass out of his mind.

Sebastian appeared at his side. "Babe, there's no need to throw a fit."

"Go away, Sebastian."

He started gently stroking Kurt's cheek. "It's okay, I've missed you too. I forgive you for that little outburst."

Kurt jerked away from Sebastian's touch. "Don't touch me."

He reached out, pulling Kurt closer. "Don't pretend you don't still love me, Kurt."

"I don't love you."

Their faces were inches apart. "Are you trying to tell me you love that little hobbit in there?"

"I love him more than I'll ever love you."

Sebastian grinned before pulling Kurt to his lips. Kurt fought against him at first before pulling his arms in to rest against his chest.

Blaine walked out of the restaurant and saw Kurt kissing Sebastian. He had his arms pulled in the same way he did when Blaine caught him off guard with a kiss, but he wasn't forcing Sebastian off.

Blaine backtracked a few steps and pretended to walk out of the restaurant holding his head low, inspecting his phone. "Hey Kurt, are you ready to go?" He looked up and was relieved to see that they had seperated. Kurt had his arms wrapped around himself while Sebastian stood happily.

"Kurt, what's going on?"

Sebastian smiled. "I should be going, nice catching up with you Kurt. I'll call you."

The ride home was especially quiet. Blaine hadn't said a word and they were almost back home.

"Do you wanna stop for some ice cream?" Kurt looked up at him expectedly.

Blaine only shook his head, keeping both hands on the wheel and both eyes forward.

Kurt glanced at him. "Blaine? Is everything okay?"

"I'm not feeling very good."

Kurt smiled apologetically. "I told you not to go to Taco Del Burrito with Finn."

Blaine only nodded and they stayed silent for the rest of the ride.

When they got back, the house was completely lit up. They walked inside, not holding hands like they normally did. Blaine walked with his hands in his pockets instead.

They walked up to Kurt's room in silence and Kurt walked in, leaving the door open for Blaine. He sat on his bed and looked back at the door where Blaine was hovering awkwardly.

"Blaine?"

"I'm gonna spend the night in my room. I...I'm not feeling well. Goodnight Kurt." He turned and hurried down the hall to his own room without so much as a glance backwards, leaving Kurt annoyed and hurt.

Blaine showered quickly and grabbed his phone off the dresser and hit his speed dial list without looking. "San?"

"Blaine! What's up? How was dinner?"

Blaine cried into the phone instead of answering. He couldn't put it into words, and for the first time in a long time, he wished he was at home instead of in the Hummel's house.

The next morning, Kurt woke up and went downstairs. He hadn't slept well and his head was pounding. He'd woken up to 3 messages from Sebastian, as well as 7 text messages asking if he was dreaming about the same thing Sebastian was.

When he got downstairs he realized right away that something was wrong. There was no coffee on and the kitchen was spotless. He didn't hear a peep around the house, and there was no sign of anyone having moved through the room yet for the day.

He glanced out the window and noticed that Finn's car was missing. Had he gone out the night before? Had it been there when him and Blaine returned?

His thoughts spun to Blaine. Was he okay? He'd been sick the night before, what if he'd gotten really sick was Finn had taken him to the hospital?

He rushed up the stairs and knocked lightly on Blaine's room. He gently pushed the door open to find an empty room. His bed looked untouched, and most of Blaine's stuff was gone. He checked Finn's room, which was fine. What was going on? Where was Blaine?

Finn felt bad. Kurt was his brother, but Blaine was his team mate. He'd never had to choose between them before. Blaine had texted him the night before, asking if he'd wake up early for a run.

Apparently in Canada "waking up early for a run" meant waking up early to drive your brother's boyfriend to the airport without telling your brother.

Blaine had been quiet all morning, only asking that Finn not tell Kurt where he was, and making him promise to pick him up in a few days. He'd text him with the details.

"Now boarding Flight 284."

Blaine stood up. "Well, that's me. Thanks for the ride, Finn."

Finn nodded. "Sure man. Just do me a favour?"

"What?"

"Don't be too hard on Kurt. Whatever's going on, it can't be that bad. I've seen Kurt fight for a lot, and I don't want him to have to fight anymore. He deserves to be happy."

Blaine nodded. "Thanks again."

And he was gone.

Finn walked in the front door and Kurt POUNCED.

"Where is he?"

"Where's who?"

"BLAINE!"

"He...went."

"Went where?"

"Away."

"AWAY WHERE?"

"Ask him yourself."

Kurt groaned and stormed back to his room.

Blaine walked through the gates carrying his backpack on his back and immediately found Santana and Brittany. He pushed through the crowd and ran to them.

"I missed you guys SO much. You have no idea."

They hugged him. "We missed you too!"

Brittany handed him a picture, drawn entirely in crayon. "It's a heart."

Blaine smiled. "Come on, let's go." He wrapped an arm around each of their waists and walked with them.

"So Anderson, are you going to fill us in?"

He sighed. "I saw Kurt kissing his ex."

"That rat bastard!"

Blaine smiled. "He doesn't know that I saw it, and he played dumb about the whole thing. I guess I just need some time to think it over, you know? I've never felt this way about anyone."

Santana smiled. "Well, let's grab your bags and check them in, we have a little surprise of our own planned."

He stared at her. "San, what's going on?"

"Well, Brit won some contest and we have some extra cash to burn, and I've always wanted to meet your mom..."

Blaine's face lit up. "We're going to Canada?"

She smiled. "Yes, yes we are. And you're gonna fill us in on everything that's been happening on the plane, right?"

"Right."

Back at home, Kurt was frantically pacing his room. Rachel had come over to calm him down, but he'd sent her away. He needed to think. Why was Blaine upset, and where did he go?

He'd tried calling Santana and Brittany, but their phones were both off. Either they were busy, dead or with Blaine. Blaine had been acting weird on the drive home last night. Could he be jealous of Sebastian? Maybe he thought Kurt still wanted him. Surely he...no. He couldn't have seen the kiss, Kurt had shoved Sebastian away in time to see Blaine walking out of the restaurant.

He nearly jumped out of his skin when his phone started ringing. He answered it immediately.

"Santana, what's going on?"

"I don't have long. He's getting our bags, we're heading for his mom's place. He's hurting, a lot, and he won't tell me the specifics."

Kurt sighed. "My ex. We ran into him last night, I'm guessing he saw when Sebastian kissed me."

"That's exactly it. I know there's more, but he's coming back. I'll text you."

And she was gone.
