The cold February weather nipped at Blaine's nose as he walked up to Elliot's house for the Valentines Day Party. He had spent the entire day getting ready - for no reason. No matter how good he looked Kurt would still be with Elliot. He sighed and rang the doorbell. He heard shuffling from the other side and then the door swung open.

"Hey Blaine."

"Hi Elliot."

The other man showed him into the house and then down to the basement where people were already gathering.

"BLAINE!!!" He heard yelled from behind. He whipped around and saw Kurt rushing toward him. Kurt was wearing dark wash jeans, a pair of converse and a tight fitting pink shirt, and damn...

"Hey!" Kurt said, throwing his arms around Blaine and pulling him into a hug.

"Hi Kurt." Blaine said, weakly hugging Kurt back. Kurt obviously didn't notice anything off with Blaine as he continued talking and introducing Blaine to all of Ell's friends.

Half way through the party Blaine was sitting on a couch off in the corner of the room watching Kurt grind with Elliot. It was in that moment, seeing Kurt grinding his ass against Elliot, Elliot kissing Kurt's neck, and Kurt smiling that he realized that Kurt would never be his. That he would never be able to have the beautiful man dancing in the middle of the room. Just seeing the image - seeing them dance together - made the fight not worth it anymore. He knew that now, he needed to get over Kurt for good.

He sat a while longer before getting up and heading over to where drinks and food were. As he was looking through drink options he felt someone put and hand on his shoulder. Blaine stood up and found Elliot standing with another tall guy. He had bleach blonde hair, was wearing tight jeans and a dark green Hollister shirt that made his light green-grey eye pop. He was smiling largely at Blaine and definitely giving him a once over.

"Blaine, this is Jesse. Jesse this is Kurt's friend Blaine, I heard you like to box and so does Jesse."

Blaine smile at the taller man and looked over his shoulder to see Kurt looking at him giving him a thumbs up and a large smile. He just rolled his eyes and looked back to Jesse - Elliot having left them alone.

"So our friends are really bad at trying to discretely set us up."

Blaine laughed. "Uhm yea, they really are."

"But I'm kinda glad they tried."

Blaine blushed as he saw Jesse give him another once over.

"So you box?" he asked Jesse, trying to get him to look away from his body.

"Uh yea, I started a while ago, it relaxes me. What about you - when did you start?"

"A few years ago, freshman year actually. It helped me get out my anger."

"Anger towards whom?" Jesse asked raising an eyebrow.

"Idiots at my old school."

Jesse just nodded, not pushing the topic anymore which Blaine appreciated. After that they continued talking throughout the rest of the night. Blaine found himself smiling and laughing more and more. Jesse was funny and had a silly vibe illuminating off of him.

They had a lot in common as well. Both enjoyed boxing and watching it - while also liking football and baseball. Jesse really liked math and Blaine appreciated that a lot more because he like math as well. They both also like old 80's TV and had the same taste in music.

By the end of the night Blaine couldn't wipe the smile off his face as they exchanged numbers and promised to meet for coffee. They said good-bye and then left in separate cars - but with the same giddy feeling residing in their stomachs.

Blaine quietly walked into his house, not wanting to wake anyone. He made his way to the kitchen, getting a glass of water before turning around to see his mother standing in the door way.

"Jesus mom you scared me."

"Sorry Sweetie." She said taking a seat at the table. "How was it?"

"Really really great." He said, remembering Jesse.

"Why's that?"

"Uhm I met someone."

His mother frowned. "Blaine -."

"No mom I know you're thinking this is just like before, but mom, I'm really getting over Kurt, I can see that he really likes Elliot and Jesse, that's his name, we have a lot in common and we aren't uhm using each other like at Dalton."

His mother stayed silent for a while before looking back to Blaine. He could see the slight glimmer of tears in her eyes as she probably remembered the last time all this happened. She was different back then, and so was he. But honestly Blaine liked this side of his mother more, even if he didn't like how she got there. "Only if you're sure."

"I am mom."

She let out a sigh. "Okay but if it start happening again - come to me Blaine. No beating around the bush or lying. Got it?"

Blaine nodded. "I promise mom, but this is a totally different situation, so I honestly think it will have a completely different turn out. But if something does go wrong I promise you will be the first one I come to."

She smiled and stood up, patting his cheek, and then both of them made their way up the stairs and to their separate rooms, getting ready for bed.

Blaine was about to slip into to sleep when his phone vibrated twice. He leaned over grabbing it and unlocking the screen. Then he smiled.

From: Kurt: (12:41AM)

So, are you and Jesse a thing now? If so, we should double!

Blaine just ignored that going straight to the second message.

From: Unknown: (12:42AM)

Hey Blaine, Its Jesse, just wanted to say I enjoyed meeting you tonight, and maybe we could do coffee soon?

Blaine smiled as he replied with a ‘yes' before rolling over and promptly falling into slumber. Maybe getting over Kurt would be easier than he thought.
