Kurt walked into his apartment to see Rachel sitting on the couch. Shit. She turned around and looked back at him. Her smile faded when she saw Blaine.

“Is this him?” she asked cautiously. Kurt looked down and then back at her and nodded.

“And you still think Cooper is good looking?” she asked. Kurt felt a small smile play at his lips and he looked back to see Blaine grinning.

“You know I get that a lot,” Blaine said. Kurt looked back at Rachel and sighed.

“Please...don't say anything to him.”

“Why shouldn't I? You're bringing a stranger into our home and going to do God knows what to him while he's here,” she said.

“Please? Cooper and I had a fight today...”

“So every time you two fight...he'll be here?” she asked while pointing at Blaine.

“No...he'll be with me whenever I'm not with Cooper.”

“Kurt...” she said sadly.

“Go to my room...last door on the right,” he said turning to Blaine. Blaine leaned in and kissed him gently and walked away. He made his way to Rachel and leaned on the back of the couch.

“You need to stop this with him Kurt!”

“Don't tell me what I need to do! You don't know what's going on!”

“Kurt...by the bruise on your cheek I think I could guess what's going on.”

“Don't do this Rachel...Blaine is the best thing I've ever had...”

“And if you want him to stay that way then you need to dump Cooper...look Kurt...If you're in love with both of them then pick Blaine. Because honestly if you really loved Cooper, you wouldn't have fallen for Blaine,” she said quietly. Kurt looked down trying to register the words in his head. Did he really love Blaine? Hell yeah. He wanted him completely to himself. He was afraid of Cooper though.

“Enough with the lectures...” he said moving away and making his way to his bedroom. He opened the door walking in. Blaine was pacing in the center of his room. Kurt went over to him and threw his arms around his shoulders. He leaned his head on Blaine's shoulder and cried. Blaine held him tightly, soothingly running his hand up and down his back.

“Cooper hit me...” he choked out. Blaine's hand stilled and his body stiffened. He felt Blaine's flat hand curl into a fist, and it scared him. Blaine pushed Kurt away from him slowly and looked into his eyes.

“So, that bruise on your face?”

“Is from him...he got mad at me saying I should have told him who I was with and that he can't trust me because of...” he trailed off looking into Blaine's eyes. Blaine nodded in understanding and put his hands on Kurt's face.

“Listen to me...you didn't deserve that. You don't need to tell him anything.”

“I know and I told him that but then he hit me again...Blaine...I can't get out. Not now. What if he does something?”

“Then I'll be with you when you break up with him.”

“Blaine...I can't. I'm scared. For me and for you!”

“I will be right beside you the whole time...” Blaine said. Blaine leaned in and kissed him once more and pressed their foreheads together.

“I love you Kurt...more than anything. I want you so bad and now that I'm here we can try this...but...not unless you let him go.”

Kurt looked into his eyes and stepped away slowly.

“Not yet...”

“So you want to stay in that relationship? You want to be beaten because you were with another person and you didn't tell him?” Blaine's calm demeanor started to change. Kurt felt the sting of those words and looked down blinking back tears. Kurt felt so much worse for doing this to him once again.

“You aren't in my shoes...you have no idea!”

“Stop playing with me and stringing me on to only let me down...” Blaine said. Kurt looked at him guiltily and made his way back to Blaine and placed his hands on his hips.

“I love you so much Blaine...I don't mean to be hurting you. I don't want to hurt you.”

“Then promise me tomorrow you'll break up with him?”

Kurt sighed and looked away from him for a few seconds. He heard Blaine grumble and felt him start to pull away. Kurt pulled him back, his arms wrapped around Blaine's waist now.

“I will promise you anything you want...” he said his lips lingering in front of Blaine's and pressing a chaste kiss to them. Blaine looked at him adoringly and placed a hand on Kurt's face.

“Don't ever leave me.”

“I could never leave you. Not again.”

They held each other in a tight hug and Kurt called Cooper when they let go. It went straight to Cooper's voice mail and he left a message.

“Hey Cooper, look, can you meet me at my usual coffee shop tomorrow so we can talk? I wish you would have picked up now but...I guess you're busy. Um...I'll see you tomorrow at around one? Call me back to let me know when we can meet,” he said as Blaine sat right beside him. He hit the end button and dropped his phone to the floor. Blaine peppered kisses along his neck lightly. Kurt turned to look at him and kissed him tenderly. They spent the rest of the night wrapped up in each other and remembering everything they had once been and talked about what they will be.
