Blaine groaned, rolling his eyes as he deleted the message and placed his phone down on the side table. This was getting ridiculous. In the last two weeks he’s had a million calls from Sebastian and now three voicemails. Wait… Make that five. He forgot about the two that are sitting there from a few days ago. Blaine wasn’t ready to talk to him. He was still festering with anger and annoyance. It was also out of respect for Kurt, even though he insisted it was okay to be friends with Sebastian again.

Kurt rolled over in the bed, pressing his face into Blaine’s sculpted back, kissing his skin. “Hm?” He hummed, arms wrapping around his fianc�e’s middle.

“It’s Sebastian again. Don’t worry about it babe.” Blaine grumbled, taking Kurt’s hand in his as he lay back down, closing his eyes again. “I just don’t know what to do about it.”

“I gave you my thoughts. You need to figure it out honey, I’m sorry.” Kurt mumbled into his back, gently nipping at Blaine’s skin, the two of them laughing tiredly.

Blaine pressed back against Kurt more, their feet tangling together. “I’m too tired to have sex with you.” He whined, the couple laughing harder as they snuggled in their warm bed.

With a low moan Kurt nodded against Blaine’s back in agreement. “I tried.” Kurt told Blaine quietly, sniffling as he guided Blaine onto his back so he can rest his head on his chest. “Maybe I’ll try again later, when it’s a decent time of day.”

Blaine chuckled, leaning up to kiss the top of Kurt’s head. Maybe talking this out with Sebastian will get in the way of his future with Kurt. Maybe it was meant to happen this way. It was just someone in Blaine’s life that had to go so he could let someone new in, someone different to fill that hole in his heart. It just kind of sucked that it had to be the person that brought Kurt into his life.

“I’m going to lunch with um… Liam.” Kurt mumbled, looking in the mirror as he checked his hair, Blaine brushing his teeth next to him, eyebrows pulling together in confusion.

Blaine spit out his toothpaste, his hand swiping the back of his mouth. “He invited you?” He wondered, surprised that Liam was still willing to keep in contact with Kurt even though he’s closely connected with him. “Well, have fun I guess.”

Kurt turned to his side and leaned against the counter. “So it’s okay that I go?”

“Yeah, why not?”

He gave a shrug and leaned forward, kissing Blaine’s cheek. “No reason, I just didn’t know how you felt about it.”

Blaine smiled, watching as Kurt did a last minute touch up. “It’s fine babe. I’ll do some grocery shopping by myself, you go enjoy lunch and we’ll meet up later.” He offered, reaching out and taking Kurt’s hand in his. “Deal?”

Kurt gave his fianc�e’s hand a squeeze, pulling him close to peck his lips. “We have a deal.” He agreed, kissing Blaine once more before leaving. “I’ll see you later, I love you!”

Liam sat up and tentatively waved a hand at Kurt, smiling nervously as they shared a friendly hug. “Thanks for coming. It means a lot.”

“We’re friends Liam; of course I was going to come.” Kurt grinned and took a seat. “So what did you want to talk about? I’m all ears.”

He fiddled with his hands, looking down at his lap. “It’s just about all this Blaine and Sebastian stuff. I don’t know how I feel.” He admitted, taking a deep breath. “I think I made a mistake.”

Kurt’s breath hitched. Liam didn’t know about Sebastian’s incident with Blaine. “Um, in what sense?”

“In the sense that I love him and what I did was stupid and I need to just suck it up and wait till he’s ready.” Liam explained, sitting up in his chair. “Four years is a long time to be with someone and it’s going to be so hard to put behind what he had… I love him Kurt. I think I always will.” He mumbled, making Kurt feel extremely guilty.

Kurt’s brain went into overload, Liam obviously had no idea what had happened, but he also didn’t want to be the one to hurt Liam further. His heart ached for his friend. Kurt took a deep breath, what would he want if the situation were reversed, if it had been Blaine kissing Sebastian in front of Liam?

He had to tell him.

With all the courage he could muster, Kurt, took a deep breath. “Okay.. Well if you’re truly considering getting back with Sebastian there’s something that I need to tell you.” Kurt started, leaning forward slightly. “A couple of weeks ago, the night you guys broke up, Sebastian called and Blaine offered for him to come over and I went out to get some stuff and came back to see them kissing.” He said rather fast, seeing everything register on Liam’s face. “Sebastian was drunk Liam, and he may have known what he was doing but he was a wreck without you. It was evident.” Kurt explained quickly, trying to bandage the wound a little bit. “Blaine was just as shocked as I was when I told him about your fears”.

Liam’s hand came up and covered his mouth, a tear escaping his cheek. “I knew it was always Blaine. I knew it.” He muttered, wiping under his eye. “Are you and Blaine okay?”

“We’re fine… But don’t worry about us. We talked. I want to know if you’re okay.”

“I’m not okay right now, but if I give myself some time and maybe see what it’s like without Sebastian and then I’ll see what I should do.” Liam told him honestly, taking a few gulps of water.

Kurt leaned forward and grasped his friend’s hand, smiling softly. “I’m here for you okay. Whatever you need, I’m here to help.”

Blaine strolled down the aisle with a cart, picking out dinner for tonight.

“Blaine?”

He glanced up at the sound of his name seeing none other than Sebastian at the end of the aisle, a basket in his hand. What are the odds of this happening? They’re in New York for Christ sakes! Without a word Blaine turned on his heel and headed in the opposite direction, hearing frantic footsteps behind him.

“Hey, man, wait! Please!” Sebastian pleaded, catching up and placing a hand on Blaine’s shoulder.

Blaine spun around and knocked Sebastian’s hand off, a glare on his face. “You need to stop.” He demanded, taking a step back. “This isn’t the time or place to discuss anything and I’m not ready to talk to you yet. Let it go Sebastian.”

Sebastian watched as Blaine walked away, turning the corner and going out of site. This couldn’t be over.. There has to be something more he can do to earn Blaine’s friendship back. There is no way it’s over just like that over some drunken incident, that isn’t fair to Sebastian. So he did it on a whim and stormed after Blaine, catching him a block down from the store.

“You can’t just throw this shit away like it was nothing Blaine!” Sebastian yelled, nudging his shoulder as he came up behind him. “We graduated high school together, we lived together, I covered for you when your parents thought you were going to school.. Hell if it wasn’t for me caring about you, you wouldn’t be getting married in February!” He continued, getting all his hard feelings off his chest now so he didn’t keep them bottled up. In all honesty the way Blaine was acting was such bullshit, at least to him. “It was one drunken kiss Blaine!” Sebastian yelled. “Is it really worth throwing everything away on one mistake?” Sebastian was obviously shocked by his own outrage while Blaine watched him silently.

Blaine’s eyes narrowed, brushing off the nudge he received, deciding to worry about more important things like Sebastian trying to cause a scene. “Can’t you just respect I’m not ready to talk?” He asked, staying as calm as possible. The last thing he wanted was to lose his cool in public. “And if you think bombarding me like this will do anything for you, you’re wrong. Just walk away, go home, give me my space and I’ll come to you.” Blaine said harshly, wanting nothing more than to be home at the moment. Kurt was waiting for him and that’s who mattered most right now. “This is done.”

Their stares lingered for a few more seconds before Blaine turned and walked down the street toward his apartment building, keeping his back straight and shoulders held high in confidence, leaving Sebastian behind. With the way Sebastian has been crowding him over the phone and just now, it was too much. Now more than ever, Blaine is confused.

It was three months till his wedding and something like this had to happen. Like he didn’t have enough to worry about already. On top of the tux alterations, flower shopping, table cloth picking, seating arrangements and keeping Kurt happy and stress free, this Sebastian shit was thrown into the mix and it was too much for him. His mind was clouded on whether his decision was right. On one hand, what he did was bad, but on the other Sebastian’s judgment wasn’t in the greatest condition when it happened.

There was also Kurt. He was Blaine’s world and the fact Sebastian tried to shove himself between that pissed him off. It didn’t seem fair to Kurt if Blaine stayed friends with Sebastian. He was disrespectful that night and that was something Blaine wasn’t letting go of easily. That’s what made him so confused, the fact that Sebastian talked to Kurt that way and Kurt doesn’t seem to really care about what decision he comes up with.

Blaine shook his head as he stared up at his apartment building, a heavy sigh escaping his lips. Home sounds perfect right about now.

He entered the apartment quietly, setting the bags down in the kitchen and sorting through them. Blaine was so lost in his own mind it felt like he was on autopilot.

“Bee, is that you?” Kurt came out of the bedroom dressed down in a pair of Blaine’s old sweatpants and an NYFD tank top. That certainly brought a smile onto Blaine’s face.

Blaine glanced up to his fianc�e, feeling relieved to see him, especially in his clothes. “Hey baby.” He greeted softly, wrapping his arms around Kurt’s back as they shared a hug. “I ran into Sebastian at the store.”

Kurt pulled away slightly, watching Blaine’s face, seeing the conflict in his eyes. “And?” He pushed slightly, slipping a hand under the hem of Blaine’s sweatshirt, rubbing the small of his back. Kurt’s eyes filled with compassion as he saw the haunted look on Blaine’s face. “Talk to me honey; come on, to the couch.” Kurt nudged Blaine forward, leading them into the living room so they can chat comfortably; it was written all over Blaine’s face that he needed comfort.

“At first he was frantic, like as I walked away he chased me down and seemed worried but then when I left he came outside and started yelling at me. He was so angry.” Blaine explained, sounding so small and lost. Kurt honestly didn’t know what to do. “I just... I told him to stop. To go home, to give me some space, but after I said it and left him behind, a part of me felt like I didn’t mean it.” He admitted, avoiding Kurt’s eyes like he said something wrong. “He’s been my best friend since we were seventeen years old Kurt and I just... I don’t want to make a mistake.”

Kurt held him close and tight, that’s all he felt like he could do. A part of Kurt wanted to give him advice and tell him what he should do but then again, he couldn’t because this was Blaine’s fight, this was something that he needed to figure out on his own. All Kurt could do was be there and support Blaine’s decision the best he could.

“I want to help you, I really do Blaine, but I can’t.” Kurt told him softly, pressing a kiss to the top of his fianc�e’s head and rubbing his shoulder. “I will support and love you no matter what decision you make.” He promised, feeling Blaine’s arm reach up and stop his hand, lacing their fingers together.

“The fact that you don’t care seems impossible to me.” Blaine muttered miserably, resting his head on Kurt’s shoulder, glancing up at him.

Kurt frowned slightly, placing his feet up on the coffee table. “It’s not that I don’t care. I do care, Blaine, but I understand the years you guys have had together are more valuable than the mistake he made.”

Blaine sighed heavily and nodded, as if agreeing. “I figured you would be more upset than you were. Like, angrier.” He explained, almost as if he’s asking for it. Kurt was confused to say the least.

“What was me getting angry at you going to do?” Kurt asked, not expecting an answer. “I mean honestly, when I thought about it and kind of sorted out my feelings, yes I was angry, but it wouldn’t benefit me.” He continued, his hand slipping from Blaine’s and falling into his lap. “Sebastian wasn’t stable so yelling at him would be like talking to a child. Then there you were. If I would’ve started a fight with you... I wouldn’t gain anything but an empty bed and a box of tissues.”

“I just feel like this was brushed under a rug.” Blaine sighed in defeat at the turmoil of his emotions.

Kurt’s eyebrows pulled together as he let go of Blaine, turning to face him. “It wasn’t. We discussed it. Are you trying to pick a fight here?”

Blaine shook his head, looking down at his lap. “I don’t know Kurt! I’m just... I’m so confused.”

“About us?” Kurt whispered eyes wide. “Is that what this is all about? You’re confused about whether you want him... Or me...” He trailed, biting his lip. Blaine’s head snapping up to meet Kurt’s water filled eyes.

“No! Oh my gosh, no Kurt, never. It’s not that I swear!” Blaine told him frantically, placing a gentle hand on his knee. “Honey, no. I’m confused on the friendship aspect, not a love aspect. I’m in love with you.” Blaine could not believe that Kurt could ever think such a thing. Did he not show Kurt every day how much he was loved and treasured?

Kurt glanced up looking slightly more relieved. “Okay. Good. You scared me for a minute.” He chuckled uncomfortably and sat back on the couch, legs resting over Blaine’s thighs, the two of them smiling at one another.

“I cannot believe you thought such a thing Kurt” Blaine whispered, shaking his head slightly with a small smile to show Kurt that he wasn’t angry or upset.

Kurt placed a chaste but loving kiss on Blaine’s forehead before holding him close. “You just have to go with your heart, Blaine. That’s all I can tell you.”
