Just when he thought his life was perfect, all hell broke loose. Kurt was heading to a bakery quite far from home to buy his daughter’s favorite cupcakes when he spotted Blaine. From a distance he wasn’t sure that it was his husband at first but then how could he miss that beautiful curly hair, those stunning hazel eyes and that dazzling smile?

However, Blaine wasn’t alone and Kurt knew very well the man that was with Blaine. He never thought he would see the bastard again after he left Lima but obviously he was wrong. Even in New York, his nightmare continued to follow him. He was furious and felt betrayed. He couldn’t believe of all the people, Blaine would do this to him. It’s not just that he was deceived by his husband, but he was lied to as well and straight to his face.  Cupcakes forgotten, Kurt stormed toward Blaine and his company.

“What’s the meaning of this?”

“Kurt?” Blaine was taken aback, clearly not expecting to run into his husband. It was the other side of town and Kurt rarely went there. “What are you doing here?”

“I think the better question is what are you doing here? Wait, let me rephrase that, what are you doing here with him?!” Kurt’s face was flushed red with anger.

“Oh hey, Kurt.” Sebastian smiled, with the stupid smirky meerkat face of his that Kurt always hated.

Kurt glared at Sebastian, a warning to stay out of this.

Sebastian ignored the threat. He stepped forward, closing the gap between him, Kurt and Blaine. “I offered to buy Blaine a coffee and then hang out, like buddies. I’m sure you understand, right?”

Kurt snubbed Sebastian. His gaze was totally focused on Blaine. “How long have you two been ‘hanging out’, huh? Let me guess… three months now?”

Sebastian sneered. “Clever…”

Kurt gritted his teeth, his lips pressed so thinly they almost disappeared. “What are you even doing here Hollywood-top-lawyer?” 

“I transferred, obviously. Wanna make my way here and conquer New York as well. I had enough of Hollywood and Blaine had been helping to get me on track.” Sebastian explained simply, seemingly pleased with himself.

Blaine gaped at Sebastian in a split second; appeared like he didn’t approve of any of Sebastian’s actions. Sebastian was provoking Kurt while Blaine in reality was trying to calm Kurt. He didn’t want things to get out of hands and he also didn’t like the way other people stared at them. This was a private matter and he didn’t want to ‘share’ it in public.

Kurt looked sternly at Blaine. He despised the lack of response from the younger man. “What is this, Blaine? I thought we were finally going to be okay, that we would go back to where we were and now I find out you’ve been hanging out with him? The guy almost blinded you Blaine, have you forgotten about that?!”

Blaine sighed. “The slushy was a mistake, Kurt. It’s been years and honestly, it had been forgiven and forgotten.”

“Please tell me you are kidding.” Kurt stared at his husband in disbelief.

“What do you want me to do, Kurt? You want me to abandon him?! He’s my friend, get used to that!” Blaine raised his voice, not caring about other people hearing them anymore. He could do whatever he wanted without needing to ask for Kurt’s approval. He was not Kurt’s wife.

Kurt glowered at Sebastian, who raised his eyebrow at Kurt and kept on smiling like a loon. All his insecurities of leaving Blaine alone in Ohio where Sebastian could make a move on his boyfriend vanished when Blaine moved in with him and attended Juilliard but he was also aware of the fact that Sebastian went to NYU and still kept in touch with Blaine.

Even after they were married, not even once Kurt prevented Blaine from contacting Sebastian. That was how he knew Sebastian had moved to California. Now, the feeling of uncertainties was back.  Why couldn’t Blaine see the truth about Sebastian? Why did his husband need to pine over the man like he was his salvation?

Kurt was exasperated.

“Open your eyes! Don’t you see how badly he wants you?! He always has been and always will and trust me, he won’t stop until he gets what he wants — you.” Kurt said heatedly.

Blaine let out a frustrated sigh. People were starting to get interested with their argument and soon, they would realize it was Kurt Anderson-Hummel; the Broadway star and theatre sweetheart having a quarrel with his husband in public. If people began to notice, there was no doubt it would be on the front page of tomorrow’s newspaper.

“Don’t you have faith in me?” Blaine asked tiredly. This was a regular argument between them when they were in high school and he couldn’t believe even after all these years, he and Kurt would be having the same dispute again.

“Of course I trust you Blaine… I don’t, however, trust him.” Kurt gave Sebastian a murderous glower. 

Releasing another sigh, Blaine knew what he was about to do would break both his and Kurt’s hearts but he had to. “Kurt, you can’t ask me to choose between you and my friends.”

Kurt bit his lips, hesitated. “W-Well… I am.”

“You seriously want me to choose?”

Kurt doubtfully nodded. Truthfully, he didn’t want to do this. He didn’t want to make Blaine pick whether it was him or Sebastian. It was silly, really, but Kurt couldn’t stand it. He had been putting up with Blaine lately just to realize that Blaine had been seeing Sebastian for the past three months and Sebastian, was the reason for Blaine’s strange behavior. Without a doubt that was the truth.

“So I have to sacrifice my friends and my social life just to make you happy, is that it?” Spat Blaine, his eyes never leaving Kurt’s.

Kurt laughed humorlessly. “Sacrifice? Are you saying I’ve been holding you back? We’ve been married for eleven frigging years and during that time have I ever stopped you from doing something you loved?”

“You are selfish, do you know that?” Blaine responded immediately.

“I’m selfish?” Kurt breathed hard. This was too much. Blaine was blaming him. His kind and loving Blaine was suddenly someone he didn’t know.  Blaine was being bold… in front of everyone including Sebastian. Kurt had never felt so humiliated in his life. Not even his Junior Prom incident could tap this.

Kurt swallowed thickly. He could feel that he was losing Blaine and it scared him. Blaine had accused him for being selfish when the truth was he had snubbed Chandler completely out of his life so Blaine wouldn’t be upset. There were a couple of times he ran into Chandler on the street but Kurt ignored the man and yet Blaine could do anything he wanted with Sebastian even though he knew it would make Kurt dismayed.

Kurt didn’t know what the status of Blaine and Sebastian’s relationship was. They looked comfortable with each other like they always did. It was like high school all over again. Kurt was desperate to let it go but he was wounded. The bottom line was Blaine lied.

“You want me to pick, right?” Blaine unexpectedly spoke. “Then I choose Sebastian. I choose to be with my friends.”

Kurt flinched at the sudden statement from his husband. Blaine’s decision was startling to him and based on the expression, Sebastian was utterly shocked as well. Kurt couldn’t believe his ears. He didn’t want to believe what he had heard was true. Blaine had made his choice and he didn’t choose Kurt. His husband of eleven years and the other father of his three kids picked someone else over him.

“Blaine…” It was Sebastian who spoke. He genuinely seemed shocked. There was no more smirk on his face. He placed a hand on Blaine’s shoulder but Blaine shrugged it away and came closer to Kurt.

Blaine stared into Kurt’s astounded eyes. “You have given me options and I have given you my answer.” His voice was uncompromising. “I’ll get my stuff and move out ASAP. I won’t bother you anymore.”

Kurt was speechless. He didn’t know how to react to Blaine’s declaration. He stood there like a statue before his mind started to work again and Kurt immediately fled from there.

Once Kurt was gone, their ‘audience’ began to murmur and right then Blaine knew everything was doomed. In a few seconds everyone in the entire universe would know about the separation of one Broadway star named Kurt Anderson-Hummel and his song composer husband.

Blaine watched Kurt leave, with tears dripping from his husband’s eyes like tidal wave. The feeling of guilt he was currently carrying was a huge burden in his chest. This was unplanned. Kurt wasn’t supposed to find him and Sebastian here. He allegedly had two more days before he proceeded with his original idea. Nonetheless, this was what fate had stored for him. Despite everything, he was kind of relieved it was done. This was something he had to do even if it broke his heart and soul for hurting the person he loved the most.

Blaine saw the hurt written on Kurt’s face the moment he saw him and Sebastian together. They had been together for so long and Blaine practically had to force himself from comforting Kurt and maddening his husband instead because it would be the best for everyone.

“I will always love you.”

“That was stupid.” Sebastian stood beside Blaine.

“Don’t tell me what I can and can’t do. It isn’t your place.” Blaine said without thinking. His brain was fuzzy, still trying to comprehend his prior actions.

Sebastian quirked an eyebrow, awed by Blaine’s attitude. “Why did you do that? That wasn’t what we had discussed. We agreed to—”

“You are a lawyer, aren’t you? Figure it out.” Blaine interrupted before walking away. Where to? Not even he knew.
