As they walked up to Washington Square Arch he couldnt help but smile, he had seen it in a couple of television shows and had admired the beautiful pattern that covered the top half of the arch, but in person it was all that more impressive.

"Wow," he said turning to Blaine who had his own smile, his hands in his pockets.

"You like it?" Blaine asked him and he nodded. "I can take a picture of you next to it if you want?" Blaine continued and he took out his phone having a better idea.

"I want to take one together," he said eagerly and turned the camera so that it was ready to take a selfie.

Blaine giggled. "Ok," Blaine said with a smile getting into the cameras view.

He made sure that he got Blaine, himself and the monument in the back ground before he smiled and snapped the picture.

"Perfect," he said smiling down at the picture. "Our first picture together," he said proudly and Blaine nodded.

"The first of many I hope," Blaine said and he smiled looking to the ground shy of the words.

"You shouldnt look at the ground, you hide your smile and its beautiful. You should show it off," Blaine said and he looked up and moved a little closer.

"I want to kiss you so bad right now," he said before turning away before anyone noticed.

"I do too, lets head back," Blaine said walking to the side of the road and a taxi stopped almost immediately.

He followed and Blaine held the door open as he climbed in before getting in himself.

It seemed that Blaine had already told the taxi driver where to go because it started to move instantly.

He stared out of the window taking one last look at the arch before it disappeared out of view.

...

The taxi dropped them off just outside the venue that his show was going to be in and they ran straight into the building.

Hed had his hood up so the group of fans that were hanging out outside the doors didnt recognise him and was able to make it inside without a problem. Steve was on the inside waiting for him and a smile grew on his face when he saw them.

"Hey boys, Kurt if you follow that man over there he will show you where to make coffee and teas, and Blaine you follow me," Steve said and Kurt looked a little uneasy as he walked away.

Steve turned and he followed him down a corridor, they got about half way down it before Steve stopped and walked into a room on the left side.

He walked in behind him and closed the door; the room was empty and had been lazily painted white. Steve had stopped in the centre with his arms crossed.

"Do you think Im stupid Blaine?" Steve asked him and he frowned.

"No, what the hell are you talking about?" He asked feeling uneasy.

"So you do think Im stupid? You and Kurt, you think no one can tell how close you are?" Steve walked towards him and he backed away.

"Thats because weve become good friends," he argue and Steve scoffed.

"After we all saw you getting a little close with Kurt we put cameras on the bus, and guess what we saw this afternoon?" Steve said and his eyes widened. There was no way that he could lie about it now.

"You cant do that, thats an invasion of privacy, Im so sick of this shit," he said running his hand through his curls.

"No but I did and I dont like it," Steve said grabbing his forearm.

"Let me go Steve," he said but Steves grip only tightened. "I said let me go," he repeated trying to rips his arm from Steve grasp.

Steve let go and took a step back.

"Youre weak Blaine, dont ever think youre strong," Steve sneered.

"Is that why you fired John? So you could hurt me?" He yelled and Steve laughed.

"No, by all means you can hire him back and pay for him yourself but I dont want to pay for your care anymore," Steve said.

"And I dont want you to be my manager anymore," he said a brave a tone as he could muster.

"Oh Blaine, you think you have a choice? Thats cute".

"I do, youre fired," he said tear in his eyes. He was done with everything; he didnt care what it cost him. He knew that Kurt would be by his side all of the way and he would be by Kurts side. "And after this show Im done with the tour," he said and turned towards the door to the room.

"No!" Steve yelled and suddenly he was being thrown backwards. He fell to the floor and he froze with shock. "I OWN YOU! YOU CANT JUST WALK AWAY FROM ME!" Steve yelled.

"You cant control my life anymore; I cant hide who I am anymore!" He yelled back.

"Ill expose you," Steve sneered.

"Do it then, I dont care anymore," he replied.

"But will Kurt care? Will he want all of the attention that hes going to get? Because Im telling you now if you leave me after this show then trust me, the shit is going to hit the fan".

He knew that Kurt would understand, especially if he told him that Steve had started to push him around.

"Hell understand," he whispered as he pushed himself back to his feet.

Steve was blocking the door now.

"These was no sound check was there?" He said and Steve shook his head.

"Well there is but they dont need you for it," Steve said and he looked to the floor.

"Can I go now?" He asked. What he was about to do he should have done as soon as Steve told him hed have to hide his sexuality. He couldnt believe that he was going to fire Steve; he knew that he wasnt going to take it well and was going to fight him but he didnt care.

Steve stepped away from the door and he walked towards it. He reached for the door handle when Steve took a swing at him hitting him in the stomach, all of the air left his lungs and he started to cough. He fell to the floor clutching his stomach.

"Dont bother doing the show tonight, Ill tell them you have gotten ill or something, youre pathetic," Steve said before opening the door and walking out leaving him on the floor.

He stayed on the floor not quite sure what to do, he pulled out his phone and gave Kurt a text telling him to come to him and what room to come to.

About five minutes later Kurt burst through the doors.

"Blaine? Shit, are you ok?" Kurt asked running to kneel next to him.

"Im fine," he replied.

"What happened? I heard that the shows been cancelled," Kurt said and he finally let the tears run down his face.

"I fired him," he sobbed pulling Kurt in for a hug. "I fired Steve and he attacked me," he said and he felt Kurt stiffen.

"Thats asshole," Kurt said and he held him tighter.

"Things are going to get hard, Steve wants to destroy me and Ill understand if you want to walk away," he said.

"Never, Im going to be here for you, were going to be there for each other and I promise well get through this," Kurt said and he pulled Kurt in for a kiss.

They pulled away and he looked into Kurts eyes, he smiled and took a breath.

"I love you, I know weve not been going out long but I really do," he said and Kurts eyes widened for a second before tears were running down his face.

"I love you too," Kurt said through his tears.
