Kurt found himself in Aidan’s apartment. Only, Aidan wasn’t there. Rachel was. She was sitting on the couch. She smiled up at Kurt, standing. “Do what makes you happy.” She kissed him on the cheek, walked over to the door and before she walked out she turned and winked at Kurt. Kurt just smiled and turned to the empty apartment in front of him. He slowly made his way thought the living room, through the hallway, and into the bedroom where he found a surprise the love of his life was lying across the bed, wearing nothing but a black pair of boxer briefs. “Hello, Kurt.”

“Hi,” Kurt whispered with a smile. “What are you doing here?”

The handsome stranger stood up from the bed, not saying a word. Kurt’s heart raced and his stomach fluttered. He was so nervous around his handsome stranger, although he was so comfortable at the same time. It was that giddy-nervous feeling. The mystery man’s hazel eyes as warm as ever as they met Kurt’s blue eyes, not leaving their sight. He walked up to Kurt, running his hands down Kurt’s arms, causing him to shiver. He leaned in and kissed Kurt’s neck, then his jaw, then his chin, then he hovered over his lips for a moment. “I love you, Kurt.”

Kurt’s face showed that he really could not believe someone so perfect could love him so much, in the way his forehead wrinkled and in his soft smile. “I love you.”

The stranger captured Kurt’s lips in a soft kiss before deepening it, to a heated level. He slipped his hands up Kurt’s shirt, willing him to take it off. Once Kurt was shirtless, the man unbuckled Kurt’s belt and pulled it off. They stumbled to the bed wearing nothing but their underwear, their lips never tiring of each other. Kurt felt the handsome man’s hand slip under the elastic of his underwear and-

“Kurt! Kurt, Kurt, Kurt, Kurt, Kurtsie, Kurt!” Rachel chanted.

Kurt moaned. “Noooo. Wasjustgettingood.” He rolled over to face his bed friend. He squinted at her. “I hate you.”

“Stop it, now. The food’s here!” She said before trotting out of the room.

Kurt rolled onto his back. He stared up at the ceiling and let out a deep breath. That dream had been more intense than the last one. They almost…well, obviously. Wow. Kurt’s mind clicked and he was suddenly positive of what he had to do. Regardless of if his stranger not being real, he was positive it would make him happy to get out of this relationship and at least try and find something exciting. He nodded to himself and rolled out of bed. He ran his fingers through his hair and slipped his glasses on. He walked out into the living room and to his surprise, Aidan was there.

“Look who just knocked on the door!” Rachel said, trying to sound enthusiastic.

“Oh, Aidan. Hi.” He stopped in his tracks, putting on a smile. Well I guess now is as good a time as any to do this. If it wasn’t right, why would Aidan be here, right?

Aidan smiled. “Hey babe.”

Kurt and Rachel exchanged looks and Rachel half smiled. She nodded, knowing.

“Well, I’m going to go take a shower.” Rachel said, standing up. She kissed Aidan on the cheek. “It was nice seeing you, sweetheart.”

“You, too.” He smiled.

Rachel sat the box of noodles she was holding down and her chopsticks and she went off into the bathroom, shutting the door and turning on the water.

Kurt took a deep breath, sitting down. “Aidan I-” He stopped. No. He can’t do it. Look at Aidan, sitting there, looking so handsome. Kurt didn’t have the heart to do it. Not now anyway. Maybe he should give more thought. No, it needed no more thought at all. This was ridiculous. The perfect-on-paper man sitting in front of him loved him. And he was just being selfish. Kurt decided then and there to squash the whole “exciting love” thing and get back to reality and the man in front of him. He smiled. “I’m glad to see-”

And then-

“Kurt I don’t think I can do this anymore.” Aidan blurted out fast.

Kurt snapped his mouth shut and his eyes widened, completely startled by this. “Oh-oh.” He looked down and then back up at Aidan. “Really?”

Aidan nodded. “I just, I think that I need a break. Like…a permanent one.” He muttered.

Kurt blinked. “Wh-what? Why?” He felt weird. Like, he was hurt. This wasn’t supposed to happen. Aidan wasn’t supposed to break up with him. He was supposed to break up with Aidan. Aidan was the boring one. Not him. Right? Kurt shook his head.

“I just feel like we’re drifting and….I met someone else.” He added that last part real quickly. So quickly that Kurt didn’t catch it.

“Excuse me?”

“I met someone else.” He said, looking down.

Kurt’s jaw hung open. He honestly couldn’t believe what he was hearing. It was such a shock. He felt like he was punched in the face. And to think, he was seconds away from making Aidan feel this way. So now, not only did he feel a bit heart broken, he felt guilty. “What?”

“I met-”

“I heard you!” Kurt snapped. “Wha-when? Who?”

“I met him at...” He paused, struggling. “The Tea Lounge. He’s a barista.”

Kurt frowned; his attitude had quickly changed from sad to angry; sarcastic, even. “Oh. Fantastic. Have you…?”

Aidan nodded.

“So, in short,” He hissed. “You cheated on me with a guy you met while probably ordering our drinks.”

“Babe,” Aidan reached over for Kurt’s hand.

“Don’t.” Kurt shook his head. “Just…just go. Please.” His eyes started to water.

“I’m really sorry, Kurt.”

Kurt just nodded. “It’s fine. Whatever.”

Aidan leaned over, kissing Kurt on the cheek. “Goodbye, Kurt.”

“Bye.” Kurt whispered.

One Aidan was out the door; Kurt stood up and rushed down the hallway. “Rachel!

“What?” The water stopped and she poked her head out, obviously she hadn’t been in the shower.

Kurt just stared at her. “He…he broke up with me...”  He wiped his eyes. “He broke up with me.”

Her jaw dropped. “Oh, honey...” She stepped towards him. “But, I thought-”

“I wasn’t going to. I decided I was being an idiot. He loved me. But then he just spit it out. He spit it all out. He spit out that he cheated on me with a barista that he met while ordering my coffee at the Tea Lounge.”

She frowned. “Seriously?”

Kurt nodded.

“Oh Kurt. Come here.” She wrapped her arms around him, holding him tight. “This is good though, right?”

He sniffled, nodding slightly. He slipped his arms around her. “I guess. I mean, whether I did it, he did it, I did it tonight or not, it was going to eventually happen I suppose. But I…I was going to wait. I mean, I felt bad about everything I’ve felt slash thought about this week because I thought he loved me. I can’t believe I felt bad for him…while…while he was cheating on me.”

“Come on; let’s go sit on the couch and stuff our faces and we’ll just talk. Or you can talk and I’ll listen.” She offered a small smile and they made their way into the living room.

As Kurt and Rachel ate their dinner, Kurt talked over and over everything in his mind until he couldn’t talk anymore. Aidan, their relationship, which guy it probably is at the Lounge, how he can’t go to his favorite place anymore, his dreams, and the handsome stranger. Everything. And Rachel, being the best, best friend that she is, just listened. She said all the right things to make him feel better, but she didn’t sugar coat anything. While she made him feel better, she also told the truth, and how she felt. By the end of the night, Kurt had started crying. Not sobbing. Just frustrated tears. He ended up falling asleep on the couch while he and Rachel watched re-runs of Sex and the City.
