Kurt was shaking in his seat at the Lima Bean. He was holding hands with Elliot as they waited for Blaine. Today his best friend was going to meet his boyfriend. They hadn't been able to find time until now, and he and Elliot had already been dating a little over a week and a half.

Blaine took the news of Kurt's new found relationship in the best way. He was really happy for Kurt. Or so he said. Kurt couldn't deny the fact that when he told Blaine, he saw his heart breaking. The look in Blaine's eyes showed something shatter, no matter how happy the rest of him looked. Kurt could read Blaine's eyes like a book now. They might have only been friends for a little while, but Blaine expressed all his emotions through those golden orbs. Kurt didn't know why Blaine looked so hurt, but he could imagine why.

This new relationship with Elliot was kind of out of the blue. They didn't know each other that long and sorta jumped into it. But Elliot made Kurt laugh, and made him happy. And whenever Kurt was around him, he got butterflies. And yes, Blaine did that all for Kurt too, but there was a big difference between the two.

Elliot immediately showed interest in him. They flirted and shared shy glances together. While he sat completely in the friend zone with Blaine. They had gotten really close over the last month and that's all they ever stayed at, close friends. Best friends, but neither took a step to making it something more.

"Hey." Kurt looked up from where he was staring to see Blaine standing awkwardly at the other side of the table.

"Blaine!" he exclaimed, getting out of his chair and hugging the shorter man.

When he pulled back, he took his seat next to Elliot, while Blaine took the opposite one.

"Blaine, this is Elliot my boyfriend. Ell this is Blaine, one of my best friends."

"It's a pleasure." Elliot said, putting out his hand for Blaine to shake.

Blaine accepted it and smiled. Once they all settled down and had coffee, the conversation flowed.

Elliot mostly talked about his life at school, home, and work. Kurt loved listening to Elliot's voice so he didn't mind, but Blaine looked a little uncomfortable.

Kurt really hoped Blaine would try and get to know Elliot; he didn't want to loose either one if they ended up not getting along.

Kurt ran to the bathroom and when he returned, Blaine was gone.

"Where's Blaine?" he asked, sitting on the edge of his seat.

"He got a call, said it was urgent." Elliot told him.

"Oh I wish he would have said bye to me or something."

"You'll see him tomorrow babe, don't worry about it," Elliot whispered in his ear, lightly nibbling on it. "Come on, let's get out of here."

Kurt smiled and kissed his boyfriend on the corner of his mouth. Elliot let out a small groan and Kurt just smirked back at him. They both got up, lacing their hands together and then leaving.

Blaine sat in his drive way, not wanting to go inside. Inside was his new happy family, the ones that talked, that ate dinner together, and that did family bonding together. Out here, he was aloud to wallow, to cry. He couldn't get the conversation with Elliot out of his head. It was stuck like glue, reminding him he wasn't good enough.

"Get over him." "Deserves better than you." "Doesn't love you."

It all swirled around, making the tears fall. Was he really that much of an open book?

He knew Elliot was right though. He and Kurt were never meant to be together. They would always be friends. He never wanted to loose that friendship, but they would never be more. And although Blaine wasn't happy about that, he had to accept it.

He needed to get over his - more than friends - feelings for Kurt. It would take time, definitely. But he could get there. He had done it before at Dalton and gotten through it. Maybe he just needed someone new liked before.

"Wait, no, that didn't work out so well last time." Blaine said to himself.

He sat in his car another half an hour before getting out and going inside.

"Blaine honey is that you?" his mother called from the kitchen.

"Yea mom." He said in a choked voice. He walked into the kitchen, avoiding his mothers gaze and took a seat at the table.

He looked up to see his mothers eyes trained on him and a frown on her face. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing..." He said, not even believing himself.

"Blaine. What's wrong?" She asked in a more firm tone.

He knew he wasn't getting out of this one.

"Its just - Kurt." He said sadly.

"What about him sweetie?"

"He has a boyfriend." He looked down at his clasped hands, trying to hold back tears.

"Blaine," His mother said in a warm tone, placing her hand on his cheek. "I'm sorry about that."

"W-why? He's h-happy." He said, finally letting the tears fall.

"Honey I know. You like him, I know. I've seen you go through this." She shuttered at the memory. "Sweetie, it gets better. Remember last time."

"It hurts mom." He wasn't even sure she could hear him, but he needed to let someone know how he felt.

He was enveloped by a warm hug, which felt like home and smelt like lavender. He couldn't control the small sobs that wracked his body.

"Shhh, sweetie, I know, I know, shhh." She said, running her hands through her son's hair.

When his sobs turned into sniffles he went up to bed, not wanting to face anyone.

Blaine didn't like having to put his mother through this again. She had seen him go through hell, that's why he transferred, to much had happened at Dalton. And he didn't want it to happen again. That's why he had to get over Kurt. A crush wasn't that hard of a thing to get over right? He just didn't want to put his mom through all that again. He didn't want to be put through all that again.

Getting over Kurt was definitely the only option; he just didn't know how long that would take.
