On Saturday at 11:30 in the morning, Kurt found himself nervously knocking on Sebastian's dorm room door. As if Sebastian was waiting for someone, he opened his door fairly quickly.
"Kurt!" he said with his eyebrows raised. "This is a surprise." He smiled, but Kurt could tell he was genuinely shocked.
"I'm sorry for just dropping by, but you do have a minute?"
"Uh…" Sebastian glanced down at his watch. "Yeah. I have a few minutes. Come in."
"Are you expecting someone?" Kurt came in and shut the door behind him.
"Um…" Sebastian scratched his head. "Yeah. Blaine's coming over."
"Oh…" Kurt's eyes widened and went back to normal size. "That's actually what I wanted to talk to you about."
"You wanted to talk to me about Blaine?" He sighed and sat against his desk as he crossed his arms. "I was wondering when you'd find your way to me."
"What do you mean?"
"The guys told me about you two. David said you two were a couple and Nick said that Blaine was your boyfriend when the accident happened."
Kurt narrowed his eyes slightly, wondering what Sebastian was doing asking about Kurt's relationship to Blaine, but then calmed when he thought that maybe the guys offered the information all on their own. "Are you dating Blaine?" Kurt blurted out. He thought it would be best to just get to the point.
Sebastian raised his eyebrows again. Kurt didn't think this kid ever stopped smiling, but he wasn't so giving with the smiles today. "Blaine hasn't told you?"
Kurt shifted his eyes down. "Blaine hasn't spoken to me in weeks."
"I see… It makes sense, I suppose. He hasn't mentioned you since our first date. I wondered where you fit in his life."
Kurt overlooked the comment and started again. "So are you… dating?"
"We were."
Were, Kurt thought. Past tense. He felt slightly relieved. He didn't know his relief would be short lived.
"But as of two days ago…" He trailed off. Kurt wasn't trying to see that Sebastian was trying to be comforting and slow. He didn't want to hurt Kurt.
"Two days ago…?" Kurt urged forward. He needed to hear the words flat out so that there could be no confusion.
"Kurt… Blaine's my boyfriend now."
Kurt stayed composed, but he felt his heart shatter. If there was one thing he never wanted to hear, despite saying yesterday to David that he just wanted to know that Blaine is in good hands, was that Blaine was someone else's boyfriend. "W-…" He suddenly became confused. He was trying to find the right words.
"I'm sorry, Kurt. I know this must hurt. I can only imagine how you feel about him?"
"Feel?" Kurt snapped. "Honey, you have no idea how I feel about Blaine Anderson. Tell me something. If you knew he was my boyfriend during the accident, why did you feel it necessary to move on in and make him yours?"
"He stopped talking about you. You were never around him anymore. I'm sorry, Kurt, but I can't help how I feel about him. He likes me and wanted to be my boyfriend. I'm sure you're an amazing person, but I wasn't thinking about your feelings when I was taking care of my own. I'm not forcing Blaine to be my boyfriend. He likes me and I like him."
"You don't know him!"
"That's ridiculous. You haven't spoken in weeks and he and I talk constantly. I'm starting to think I know him more than you do."
"Really? You really think that? Okay," Kurt said with an attitude.
"I'm not going to argue the point because it's not going to change the fact that Blaine is still my boyfriend."
"You don't know anything."
"I know that he likes me."
"I bet you don't know that his mouth waters when he smells coffee, or that he thinks his teeth doesn't feel clean if he uses any flavor of toothpaste other than mint. I'd be willing to pay money on the fact that you have no clue that the smell of a skunk doesn't bother Blaine in the slightest. Further than that, the combination of peppermint, almond, and green tea turns him on almost instantly, or that his toes curl and then go numb when he orgasms."
"Kurt-"
"Did you know that he used to gel his hair to make it look straight because he used to get made fun of for how curly it was? Yeah. He got made fun of for a lot of things. He got made fun of enough that someone decided it was a good idea to kick the shit out of him for showing up to a Sadie Hawkins dance with another guy. Oh yeah, and he ended up in the hospital then transferred here. You're his boyfriend, so I'm sure you knew that."
"Kurt, stop, please."
"Oh, I haven't even begun."
"You've said enough. I don't need to know his past to be apart of his future."
"How about Blaine? Shouldn't Blaine know his past before he starts a future?"
"If he wanted you in his life, wouldn't he being talking to you and not ignoring you?"
"The fact that you think that's why we're not talking tell me that you have no idea what you're dealing with."
"We have a lot in common."
"You couldn't possibly know that because Blaine doesn't know that. He's been out of his house for almost a month. He couldn't possibly have experienced enough to know more than the basic things that he likes. Besides, if you knew anything about Blaine, you'd know that his interests change as quickly as fashion trends change."
"What do you care? You have a boyfriend. If you really cared so much then you would have waited for him instead of moving onto the next guy."
"What are you talking about? I don't have a boyfriend! I've been waiting until Blaine was comfortable to start wooing him again."
"That's not what Blaine thinks. He said you're with a tall blonde."
Kurt thought quickly. Tall blonde? Sam? Zach… He started laughing. "Oh my God. I can't believe this is happening again." He couldn't help himself from laughing. He was tired and upset and angry, but he couldn't stop laughing. Kurt put his pant to his chest and then wiped one eye with the other hand. "Zach is not my boyfriend. Zach is an affectionate, straight, friend of mine, who treats me like I'm his brother." He laughed a little harder.
"What's so funny?" Sebastian finally asked.
"Blaine was jealous of Zach last year because he thought Zach was trying to take me away from him."
"What makes you think he's jealous now?"
"I didn't say that. Blaine has seen Zach hug me and put his arm around me, sometimes even holding my hand. Of course he would think Zach was my boyfriend."
Sebastian looked down at his watch again. "Kurt, I'm sorry, but Blaine's supposed to be here any minute and I don't mean to sound mean, but I'd rather you weren't here when he shows up."
Kurt stopped laughing and swallowed hard. "He'll never love you." He knew it was hard and he knew it was beyond mean, but he had to say it.
"Why? Because he can never love anyone other than you?"
"Because we're soul mates. He spent a lot of time telling me that. There's a pull between the two of us that nothing and no one can touch. I don't think a loss of memory would erase that. You can like him all you want, but I love him. I love him with every fiber of my being." He headed for the door. Kurt stopped at the threshold after he opened the door and looked back. "The doctor said that his amnesia may not be permanent. If he ever recovers his memory, who do you think he'll choose? The guys he likes? Or his soul mate?"
There was a silence between them. Sebastian licked his lips and warily stared at Kurt. "Goodbye, Kurt." There was a sadness in his tone. He knew Kurt was right.
