Chapter 5 - We will get through this
"What's going on here?"
Blaine looked over the room to his husband with a frustrated expression on his face. Kurt shot him the look that he knew perfectly well. This was the look, which he wore every time, when people were accusing him for who he was or laughing at him. This was the same look he wore, when some Neanderthals bullied him at school. His eyes were cold and angry mixed with something that other people couldn't understand, and Blaine knew that it was the same look, which said that Kurt is going to burst in tears in any moment.
He quickly looked around the room. Plates and cups on the table were mostly empty, but there were still some cakes. Amanda, which was standing between Kurt and Blaine, was loudly sobbing and bubbling something like 'I'm so sorry' and 'I didn't mean it'. Blaine felt a little sympathy to the woman, because he just couldn't see such a delicate creature crying. But he didn't say anything to her and went to Kurt. He hugged him tightly, feeling Amanda's eyes on his back.
"Hi… How are you?" He pulled back smiling softly and squeezed Kurt's hand. "What happened here?"
"You're early…" Kurt whispered. "It's nothing, Blaine. You shouldn't worry about it. Amanda was just leaving."
Blaine looked suspiciously to the other man and turned back to Amanda. She was standing there with dry eyes and shocked expression on the face. Her eyes were wide with confusion and guilty. Blaine looked expectantly at her, like asking something without words.
"I… I'm so sorry." She bit her lip. "I really didn't mean it that way. I actually came to get the truth. I don't want to mess with you, I'm just…"
"I'm not following…" Blaine looked to Kurt.
"Well…" He sighted without letting go his hand. "Amanda obviously came here to throw her problems with our sexuality out to my face, so I'm kindly asking her to leave, because I don't want any of that crap under my roof."
"I think you're right." Blaine looked at Amanda with disgusted expression and embraced Kurt around his waist. "We're not going to hide who we are, but we won't let you bring us down too."
"But I'm not going to do that…" Amanda took one step towards boys. "I need the truth… I need… I want to be your friend."
"So what? Now you got the truth. We are gay and couple! You still said that you can fucking cure us!" Kurt was barely shouting.
"It was a mistake. I…"
"I don't fucking care!" Kurt lost it and ran out of the room with tears running down his face.
"Kurt!"
Blaine didn't know what to do. His most important person in the world was hurt, crying and he still had a crying woman next to him. He was fighting with himself if he should run after Kurt or try to comfort his new neighbor, who clearly looked as confused and scared as Kurt was. But after a few moments Amanda was storming out of their house with a loud sob. Blaine didn't try to stop her and explain something. He had a very very vulnerable husband in another room and in that moment nothing was more important than that.
Amanda hugged herself and ran out of their house. She didn't remember how she came back to her place and locked the doors. Still sobbing she drank a big glass of water and fall on the couch. She didn't cry anymore, but couldn't stop herself from shacking.
It was true. Kurt and Blaine were gay. It wasn't fair. It wasn't fair that they were gay. It wasn't fair that Kurt didn't tell her himself. It wasn't fair that they were so sure about it. It wasn't fair that they weren't ashamed at all. It wasn't fair that they practically kicked her out. It wasn't…
"Mum?"
Amanda looked up at her three years old daughter and smiled through her tears. Lily was standing in front of her, holding a new teddy-bear, which Tom brought her from Boston. Her large blue eyes looked innocently at her. Amanda smiled, because this little creature wasn't the one to blame for all this.
"Are you ok, mum?" She asked.
"I'm fine, sweetie. Come here." The woman pulled her daughter to herself and hugged her tightly. "I'm just tired."
They stayed like this for a few moments. Then Amanda's head crossed a new idea. She looked at her daughter softly and kissed her forehead.
"Promise me something, Lily."
"Okay." The girl nodded quickly.
"Promise me that if one day you have something that's bothering you or you are questioning yourself over something, you'll come to me and tell me about it. You have to trust me."
"I promise, mummy." Lily hugged her even tighter.
"I'm always here for you, because I love you, sweetie, and nothing can change that." Amanda barely whispered that last words, because tears were filling her eyes again. "Now go up to your room and watch one of those Disney films, which your brother loves so much and I'll make you something to eat. I bet they are pretty nice."
"But I hate them, mummy." Lily started frowning.
"Why?" Amanda stood up and went to the kitchen.
"I don't believe them. Princesses and princes do not existed in real life, so their love is not real too. Your and dad's love is real, mum. I think the best fairytale is what you and dad are doing, so I don't want other fairy tales."
"Shh… Please, Kurt, you have to stop crying, cause your eyes are going to be sore after. I don't want it for you. Please…"
They were cuddling on their huge bed in the bedroom. Blaine was lying with his back to the wall and Kurt was snuggling to his chest and sobbing softly. It was their favorite position, when each of them had bad days. They could just spend hours cuddling like this without any problems outside their bedroom's doors.
"I don't know what got into me. I just can't stop…" Kurt hugged Blaine even tighter. "I guess, I just believed that it will be easier, you know? I didn't expect someone coming over me like this. My dad, Mercedes, moving in, those rehearsals… It's just too much."
"I know, but you still shouldn't shout at hear like that. She's just a confused and scared conservative woman, who's never met anyone gay. It didn't look to me that she is homophobic or something."
"Sorry…" Kurt sobbed even harder.
Blaine sighted. They knew it was going to be hard. Living in a small street, where most people have never seen the ocean or heard about gay couples was a huge risk, but they took it and he didn't regret it. They got though much more in the past, but still it was the second time that week, when someone cracked down. The first time it was Blaine.
Curly haired man softly brushed his fingers though Kurt's cheek and lips. They were wet, because of the tears. He leaned over and kissed him softly on the lips. Kurt answered to his kiss without much passion, but with lots of love. He tried to deepen the kiss and brushed his right hand though the inner side of Kurt's leg. He kept kissing Blaine softly, but just for a few seconds. Then he leaned back and sighted.
"I'm not in the mood, Blaine." He said casually and lay back on the bed. The man was thinking about something. Blaine put his chin on Kurt's hand and started watching him. This was one of his favorite things he could do with his husband along with kissing and making out.
"I love you." Blaine whispered about ten minutes later looking Kurt directly into eyes. "And I'm not going to let you deal with it alone. It's not just your problem. It's ours. We're going to talk to Amanda and I honestly believe that she is not mad at you for being mean, and really wants to be our friend."
"We need friends, Blaine." Kurt answered lower still looking at the ceiling. "We need to have someone, when everything starts. We need someone to support us."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean when everyone else in this street find out about us." He finally looked at Blaine. "Not all of them are going to be happy about it. It's not school anymore, when you can come to the principal. Bullies and hater are not going to be expelled or something. We will have to live with them in the same street, so at least we need to have someone who's on our side."
"We'll get through this. I know." Blaine kissed Kurt's arm finally making him smile. "At least we have each other and…" He traveled down Kurt's arm to his fingers and kissed a golden ring on his ring-finger. "We will have forever."
"Yeah, we will."
