“What are-”

“What are-” Blaine and Kurt were stood, staring at each other in shock as they both spoke at the same time. Kurt gulped, now what was he going to say?

“This isn’t what it looks like. I can explain, you see-”

“No Kurt, I heard what you were both doing in there and I don’t want it explaining. Very classy by the way, seriously Kurt? In a dirty toilet cubicle?” Blaine turned towards the door and began to make his way out when Kurt lunged forward in a reflex and grabbed Blaine’s arm, but he shook him off.

“Wait Blaine I never wanted this to happen. I’m sorry you heard that but I’m upset, and my mind is all over the place! I just don’t know what I’m doing anymore.”

Nick stepped forward out of the cubicle doorway and put his hand on Kurt’s shoulder. “Kurt don’t blame yourself, it’s your fault this happened Blaine and can I just say, thank you.” Kurt shrugged Nick’s hand off his shoulder and turned fully to Blaine.

“Thank me for what? Screwing our minds up and making Kurt turn to another guy? Do you know how that makes me feel? I feel like an asshole, and an asshole that is too late to say what he wants when he finally get’s the courage himself!” Blaine had had just about enough with everything. He was raging now and he was afraid he would have to punch Nick in his smug face.

“Yes Blaine I turned to another guy but it was wasn’t intentionally! He was there for me when you wasn’t and wanted to help me get through this! This wasn’t supposed to happen and yes I do regret it.”

“So that’s supposed to make everything ok?”

Nick stepped forward, “Blaine why don’t you calm down and just go home.”

“Back the fuck off Nick before I actually do punch you!”
“Nick please just leave.”

“Oh so it’s my fault now? Kurt knows all about you now Blaine, how you play people.”

But the three Warblers were soon cut off by the main door swinging open, “what the hell is going on in here?”

“Sorry Grant, we’re just having a little discussion but Blaine is gonna leave now aren’t you?”

“Yes there’s no reason for me wasting my time here. Oh and Kurt you owe me $25. Unless you can get your rich boyfriend to pay .”

“Just take this shit outside please guys, you’re disrupting the performance.”

“Of course, we’re very sorry. C’mon let’s talk outside.”

Kurt set off out the door and Blaine and Nick followed. Just about everybody in the entire club were staring at them when they were walking through and Kurt was blushing so bad, ‘how freakin embarrassing’.

Blaine took off in the direction of the car park and Kurt ran after him, Nick running behind him. “Blaine wait up we need to talk!”

“There’s nothing to talk about!”

“Yes! There is! And why do I owe you $25?”

“Because that’s the amount of money I’ve spent looking for you all night, buying tickets into comedy clubs that I don’t even wanna go near!”

“You’ve been looking all night? Why?”

“Because Kurt! That kiss. That wasn’t nothing, it was far from it. I just maybe thought you liked me because you kissed me back and Wes said you’ve told him that you like me but – but obviously not because you’re with him.”

Blaine could hardly look at the two of them as they stood before him, next to his car.

“I am certainly not with him! You already knew I liked you! Don’t you remember? Before you kissed me I told you I had feelings for you, I gave you a god dam speech Blaine!”

“What? I don’t remember...I just remember hearing a mumble and I felt – I can’t even explain but I couldn’t hear the words that you were saying because I was finally taking you in. How you look, how you smell...” Blaine trailed off as he turned around and slid his hands through his hair and back down to his side.

“Bullshit.” Nick looked truly disgusted.

“Oh bullshit? Just because I want someone else but you!” Blaine was furious.

“I’ve told him all about you Blaine. He knows all your dirty tricks.”

“What? Kurt what the hell did he say?”

“He said you’re a player. That you kissed him and dated him while you dated other people and then dumped him. Is this true?”

“No Kurt that is certainly not true, don’t believe a word that comes out of his mouth. Now that, Nick, is bullshit!” Blaine turned around and lunged at Nick, but he was soon stopped by Kurt who grabbed his arms and tried his hardest to hold Blaine back from killing Nick.

“Blaine calm yourself down! Violence is not the way! Nick what the hell did you say that about him for?”

“Because he’s a jealous little bastard that’s why.”

“Kurt don’t listen to him.” Nick grabbed Kurt’s arm and pulled him away from Blaine.

“No listen to me, I left you a note in your desk draw. Did you see it?”

“No there wasn’t a note in there.”

“Exactly, because he stole it, Wes told me he must of because he’s only seen him going into your room except you.”

“Nick did you steal the note? And tell me the truth! I can’t handle anymore lies!” He pulled away from Nick.

“Fine.” He began rummaging around in his bag and pulled out a small folded white sheet of paper and handed it over to Blaine.

“Oh god. What the hell is wrong with you?”

Blaine stepped forward. “We went on a date one time. Ever since then he hasn’t left me alone, sabotaged every near relationship or friendship I could have had because he wants me to himself. This is why he took the note, took you out and pretended to care when really, he doesn’t.”

“For goodness sake! You know what? I’m sick of people! I’m sick of you being all dapper and handsome! One second your smooching my face off and the next thing you disappear and cut off all communication with me. I beat myself up for days over you! And you - you Nick disgust me! Tricked me into coming out with you when I didn’t really want to. Make up terrible lies about Blaine and steal valuable freaking notes! I can’t handle this anymore!” Kurt turned around and ran away as fast as he could, calling back, “don’t bother coming after me!”

“Kurt please! I’m so sorry!” but it was no use, calling after Kurt wouldn’t stop him running and Blaine new it. All he could do was watch the boy he – loved – run away from him, hating him. He put the note in his bag and let himself into his car, slamming the door behind him. He pulled out of the parking space and, swerving around Nick almost trying to not hit him, drove to where Kurt ran off. He saw him walking around the corner a short block from the club and he pulled up to Kurt’s side.

Rolling down the window, he shouted, “Kurt! Please, I’m so so sorry, let me take you home so I know you’re safe. It’s dark and creepy around here you might get hurt.”

“You mean more than I already am? Impossible!”

“Kurt! Kurt!” but it was no use, he wasn’t listening to him and he wouldn’t climb in his car. “Ok, well call your Dad, get him to pick you up, ok? Or I will! And take the note, I want you to read it, to understand why I cut myself off from you.” Blaine pushed the note into Kurt’s hand and pulled away from the curb and drove past him calling, “be safe!” on his way past. ‘What the hell have I done?’ he thought.

“Hey Dad, I’m about a block away from Barry’s Comedy Club, can you come and pick me up? Maybe bring me home instead of going back to Dalton. Thanks Dad. I’ll explain in the car. See you soon.” Kurt hung up the phone. ‘What just happened tonight? So wait...Blaine really likes me? Oh’.
