After Regionals 2013

Sometime in mid February…

Kurt stood in front of a very nervous Blaine on the stage in the auditorium. 

“Kurt, I…I've thought about what I wanted to say to you…how much you mean to me.  I thought about it for a while now, and I decided that, what I need to do, to prove to you once and for all, that I'm serious, that I'm committed to us, was to give you something that would remind you of my commitment to you.”

Blaine bent down on one knee and pulled out the small black box he'd been carrying in his pocket for days now.  “A little over a year ago I gave you a promise ring made out of gum wrappers, to solidify my promises to you.  Today, I want to present you with an engagement ring…to solidify my commitment to you to always be by your side, to love you and support you.  I love you, Kurt.  Will you-”

“Blaine, stop!” Kurt couldn't help the nervous laugh that burst forth.  Taking a deep breath, Kurt let it out slowly.  “Stand up, Blaine.  I can't accept this…we're friends, Blaine.  That's all we are.  Friends.”  It was painful to watch Blaine's eyes fill with tears at his words.

Without another word Blaine walked out of the auditorium.  And out of Kurt's life.
