"You mean, were not actually married?" Blaine asked.
"Afraid not."
"But-but, the officiant-?" Kurt stuttered.
"He might be legal but you dont have a license."
"He said we didnt need anything though." Kurt tried.
"Doesnt matter. He lied And you two are not actually married. Its not a legal marriage neither in the eyes of the state of New York or Nevada. Im sorry boys. But, hey, lucky break for you two. You dont have to get a divorce then."
The two men looked at each other unsure whether they should be distraught or happy.
"Were not legally married." Blaine whispered to himself. He let out a quiet giggle in distress and spoke a little louder, "All this time, and damn marriage license was needed."
Kurt wrapped an arm around the man to try and calm him, "As an ex engaged man you think Idve known that by now. We were planning on getting the license!" Blaine continued to exclaim.
"Come on, Blaine, lets just go. Maybe we can stop at the coffee house on the way home."
"Thats another instance of my stupidity! Me! A once engaged man planning on getting that fucking license forgot it when he got married to a stranger!" Blaine said as they were walking out.
"Are you really beating yourself up about a silly marriage license for one you didnt intentionally mean to get. I forgot too. So what if were not legally married in the eyes of New York and Nevada? It was a pleasure having you as my husband for as long as it lasted."
"Im surprised youre not bringing up last night."
"That was in the past. Nows the present. So we may not work out as a couple. Maybe we could remain friends." They stopped in front of the coffee shop from when Blaine met Kurts friends, "And what a great way to celebrate our friendship than some coffee?"
"Do you really think we could remain friends?"
"Of course. The only reason we dont work out well married is because we dont know each other well enough. Being friends though, we can get to know each other." They walked into the building, "But Im still paying for your rent."
"Since I dont want to get into another fight with you Ill just agree. Until I get a real job."
"Agreed."
"Oh my Jesus fuck. Now youre telling me that you guys arent legally married? What the actual fuck?" Santana asked as Kurt resettled back in the loft.
"Yeah... I mean, we thought we were but it turns out we forgot a marriage license-"
"But you still got married? Correct?"
"Yes. The officiant was legal but since we didnt have a license the entire marriage wasnt. Were not legally married."
"Thats so stupid!"
"No, we were. We were stupid to try and get married when we only met twenty minutes earlier. It was a simple rule we didnt follow. You know the Untited States Government. Were different." Kurt stated.
Rachel felt the need to hug her best friend, "Its okay, baby." She said.
"Of course it is." Kurt said, "Im not phased by this."
"You never know..."
"Were happy remaining as friends. We agreed to that. After someone comes into your life you cant be separated from them. Thats how Blaine and I are. He was a part of my life." Kurt chuckled, "Plus, Im paying for his rent."
"Wait? Why?"
"Because of reasons. I dont think he wants to talk about too much. It seems quite sudden from my understanding."
"Why are there so many secrets!" Santana whined, "I will gets to the bottoms of this."
"With your third eye?" Rachel asked, giving the Latina a Bitchy look.
"You know it."
"You two are impossible. The relationship is over. Blaines life is none of your business. Were cool." Kurt said to the two girls.
"You and I guy you thought you had a legal marriage to but actually didnt and I neglected the fact that you barely knew each other not to mention you couldnt keep a decent conversation going when you lived with each other remain friends. How are we impossible? Your recent love story is wanky!"
"I get it. Its quite a story to tell!" Kurt said, throwing his arms up in exasperation. He dropped down onto the couch and placed his head in his hands, "I dont even know whats going on anymore!" He mumbled in his hands. He lifted his head and huffed out a breath, "But I think Im going to the bar."
"Why the bar?" Rachel asked.
Kurt stood as he answered, "Like Blaine Anderson, I need to go drink my pain away."
The two girls gave Kurt a disgusted look, "Blaines an alcoholic?" Santana asked.
"Newly found. Its because of that reason that Im not sure he wants to talk about. I barely know about it."
"Has he drank around you? Not counting the wedding." Rachel asked, putting quotations around "wedding."
"No." Kurt answered while occupying himself with fixing his clothes. With that he waved goodbye to the girls and left.
