Kurt didn't receive a text or a call from Blaine the next day. He couldn't bring himself to try and contact Blaine himself. There was no way he could try to approach it without feeling weird. Blaine had kissed him. It was a drunken kiss but one none the less. Kurt didn't tell Rachel about the kiss as much as he wanted to tell someone. Maybe if he kept it to himself he could just hold onto it and never have to let it go. Because, if Kurt was going to be honest, he was thrilled to kiss Blaine even if the situation wasn't so ideal.

He kept replaying the scene over and over again in his head. It made the task of homework extremely impossible. The way his lips felt on Kurt's, it gave him shivers. He sighed and dropped his pencil, fully giving up on homework. For about the sixth time in the last few hours Kurt found himself looking at the Courage text that was forever saved.

Things were pretty screwed up. What started out as a friendship turned into a big complicated disaster. Blaine had cheated on Sebastian with Kurt. Originally Kurt didn't care if he became that guy, then he did, then he didn't. Back and forth in his head. Now, feeling extremely guilty, Kurt hated that it had come this far. Rachel and Mercedes warned him. And he should have listened.

Blaine…?

Send.

Thirty minutes passed. Nothing.

BLAINE! Please text me, or call. Please. We need to talk about last night.

Send.

Kurt sent the last text just before dinner and he stayed up keeping an eye on his phone until about 2am. He was obsessing again. Kurt fell asleep with his phone clutched between his hands. He dreamed of the kiss but also Blaine and Sebastian together laughing at him. Then he dreamed of them kissing. He couldn't leave and had to watch as Sebastian had everything he wanted. It was a nightmare.

The following morning wasn't much better. Kurt had never dreaded a Monday more. He wondered if Blaine would even show up. Last time he wasn't in class he claimed to have a stomach virus. Kurt always wondered if that was the truth or not.

Class started without Blaine. Kurt wasn't surprised but quite disappointed. There was still no reply from him. Kurt snuck his phone out during class.

Blaine, please talk to me.

Send.

Kurt received a text shortly after class ended as he walked toward the union. Kurt held his breath before opening it. He was terrified of what he may find inside.

Meet me behind the union. We need to talk. -B

Kurt did a double take at the text. He didn't call it "our spot" something he took to nicknaming after their first meeting there. Perhaps he was really mad at Kurt. It made no sense as Blaine was the one who kissed Kurt. Taking a minute or two in order to compose himself Kurt briskly headed off. He ran over the things he was going to say to Blaine in his head knowing full well that he probably would forget half of it.

He was the first one to be there at their spot-if Kurt was still allowed to call it that. Kurt touched his lips again thinking of the kiss. He rolled his eyes at how stupid he was being and leaned against the half wall. A few minutes passed by, no sign of Blaine. No specific time was given so Kurt assumed it was now. He blew through his lips feeling depressed over the idea of meeting Blaine. He never wanted to feel that way around him.

A person came walking around the corner and into view. Kurt turned.

"I didn't think you would..." Kurt trailed off.

It wasn't Blaine it was a very angry looking Sebastian. Kurt rolled his eyes, "We really need to stop meeting like this. Blaine might start to suspect something."

Sebastian didn't even grant Kurt one of his cocky smirks. He got up in Kurt's face. He never felt threatened by Sebastian before until now. The lack of personal space or boundaries sent bad memories flooding back to him from high school. Being shoved into lockers, the jocks towering over him with their pure hatred. Kurt's jaw quivered but he rolled his shoulders back and stood up tall to prove he wasn't afraid of Sebastian.

"Don't play cute with me. I thought I made it clear I don't like you around my boyfriend." Sebastian's voice was dripping with rage It frightened Kurt. He wondered what could have made him so-then Kurt had an epiphany. The kiss. Kurt turned sheet white.

"I-I didn't do anything." Kurt stammered.

"Oh Kurt, you're not very good at lying. I know what you did." Sebastian growled.

Kurt continued to play innocent. "I didn't do anything, I have no idea-"

"You kissed him." Sebastian shouted. "I have friends other than Blaine, some who happen to be in a fraternity and some who saw you too walking across campus together and saw you kiss."

Kurt swallowed. He lifted his chin and tried to match the angry expression Sebastian held. "You have people following Blaine, now?"

"Following you."

Kurt scoffed, "Okay. It's official you are insane." he paused. "You sent the text. Blaine was never going to meet me."

"I don't know how to make it clear to you Kurt?" Sebastian exclaimed. "Blaine is my boyfriend and nothing you do is going to change that, so I'm not asking you but telling you to back off." Sebastian pushed Kurt back. He stumbled a little but remained standing.

They stared each other down. If it was the wild west they both would have taken fifteen paces and drawn their pistol. "I didn't kiss Blaine, he was the one who came at me."

Sebastian laughed a little and shook his head. "You expect me to believe that?"

"Believe what you want. I wasn't in the wrong." Kurt said. His eyes were brimming with tears. He just wanted to get away from this. He backed away making ready to leave.

"What about the flirty texts back and forth?" Sebastian asked. "You're so pathetic, you can't get a boyfriend of your own so you have to steal someone else's."

Kurt had never been so angry in his life. He wasn't sure what came over him but he threw his bag down and marched back over to Sebastian. He took a deep breath and exploded speaking whatever came to his mind.

"If you trusted him more, then maybe he wouldn't go looking for comfort in someone else. Blaine is allowed to make friends and doesn't need to be controlled by you. You don't deserve Blaine!" Kurt shouted.

Without warning, Sebastian clenched his hand into a fist, pulled back and let it fly. His knuckles struck Kurt right across the left side of his jaw. Kurt's head snapped back. Pain rushed through his body causing instant tears. Another voice shouted above the ringing in Kurt's ears.

"Sebastian!" Blaine had arrived on the scene just in time to see Sebastian punch Kurt. He rushed forward and instead of going to Sebastian he bent down to Kurt who was sent to his knees from the blow.

Kurt massaged his jaw. He tasted metal, like sucking on a penny. Dabbing his lip he looked at his fingers and saw a streak of blood on his fingers. He glared up at Sebastian.

"Kurt! Kurt, are you okay?" Blaine placed his hands on his shoulders.

Sebastian stared down without any remorse in his eyes. He was satisfied with making Kurt bleed. Blaine stood back up and rounded on Sebastian he shoved back.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Blaine snapped.

"Why him?" Sebastian asked sneering down at Kurt. "Hmm? Two years Blaine. Think about what you're going to throw away."

He smoothed out his jacket and left without a second glance back. Kurt was still in a state of shock. Plus the pain was enough to keep him from moving. He had been shoved into lockers and pushed around but a physical assault like this was new. Blaine bent down to Kurt again and helped him up. He grabbed Kurt's chin to examine the damage. Kurt did protest. He avoided eye contact with Blaine however.

Blaine frowned, "Come on, let's get you cleaned up."

Kurt leaned against the sink in the bathroom while Blaine wet a few paper towels. He watched him for a moment. Blaine went to dab the paper towels on Kurt's face but he dodged it and took the towels from Blaine's hand. With a pout Blaine allowed it and stepped back.

"We'll have to get you some ice after you clean it off. It will keep the swelling down." Blaine said.

Kurt nodded.

"How did you know where we were?" Kurt asked pressing the towels to his lip to stop the bleeding.

"My phone. I saw your texts and then the one Sebastian sent with my phone. I'm sorry I didn't get there sooner." Blaine truly sounded sorry.

Kurt eyed him and gave a halfhearted shrug. "It's the first fight I was ever in where I got punched. I only wish I had returned the favor." Kurt mumbled. He always imagined his hand flying across Sebastian's face. He wondered how good that would feel just to lay Sebastian.

Blaine pinched the bridge of his nose and shook his head baffled. "He's usually harmless."

Kurt snorted. He tossed out the bloody paper towels and grabbed a few fresh ones. He licked his lip and made a face at the taste of the blood. "About as harmless as a honey badger."

"I don't know what got into him." Blaine looked seriously confused. Kurt couldn't keep the look off his face that questioned Blaine's stupidity.

"Are you serious? We're not going to talk about it. We're just going to pretend it didn't happen."

Blaine had those dopey puppy dog eyes again. "Kurt I-"

"You kissed me Blaine!" He cried out in frustration. "You. Kissed. Me. Am I supposed to just pretend that you didn't?" Kurt's voice echoed in the bathroom. Luckily they were alone.

"What do you want me to say Kurt? I messed up, it was a mistake!" Blaine snapped back.

Kurt's stomach twisted. "Mistake. That's what it was and nothing else?"

He blinked and two tears rolled over his lids and fell. Blaine's mouth hung open a little like he wanted to say something but was either too scared or couldn't think of the right thing.

Blaine sighed, "Kurt. What did you think?"

"I really don't want to have this conversation right now." Kurt swallowed trying not to let his emotions take control. "Thanks for saving me back there, but I don't need you to do it again."

Kurt was at the door but Blaine grabbed his arm and pulled him back. "Did you think that I-?"

There wasn't much else to lose. The Sebastian the chipmunk had just punched Kurt, Blaine had kissed him, and their friendship was now awkward and probably ruined, what else could go wrong if Kurt told the truth?

"I thought, maybe, you liked me. I was wrong, I see that now and I was just being delusional. No harm no foul. Except the mark of Sebastian's knuckle on my bottom lip of course." Kurt forced a thin smile. He tossed the next batch of towels away. The bleeding had stopped now.

Blaine's mouth still hung open a little. He stammered a few nonsensical words. He scratched the back of his and leaned forward on the sink. Kurt watched him for a minute until he turned to face Kurt again.

"I don't know what I'm doing." Blaine confessed. "Sebastian has been…everything to me the last two years. And I guess I'm blind when it comes to these things."

"What things?"

"Love? Flirting, stuff like that. Whatever has been going on between us? I thought it was just a friendship but, honestly Kurt I don't know anymore." Blaine's voice cracked. "And I feel like this horrible human being pulling two guys that I really care about in every direction trying to find the answers."

Blaine closed the distance between them.

"You and Sebastian though…" Kurt said. His heart rate accelerated the way it always did when Blaine was close to him.

"You know how there is a moment when you see someone and you say, 'Oh, there you are. I've been looking for you forever.' Our audition was that moment for me, Kurt. You moved me. And I know I'm with Sebastian and I should just walk out of this bathroom right now. I should just go. But I don't think I want to, and that scares the hell out me." Blaine's hands were shaking as he took Kurt's hand. Kurt glanced down and back up to Blaine's eyes.

"It's not too late to just go." Kurt said. "The door is right there, and Sebastian is somewhere on the other side."

Blaine smiled, the smile that was only for Kurt. "I think I want the person on this side."

Kurt could hardly breathe. The hair on his arms stood on the ends and every inch of him tingled. "You said that kiss was a mistake."

Blaine laughed a little. "That one was. But this one isn't."

Blaine leaned forward and for the second time Blaine's lips pressed on Kurt's. This time, Kurt kissed back. Even though his lip stung from the battle wound, Kurt couldn't be bothered with it. His hand came up and cupped Blaine's face. A new first kiss. This one was better than the previous. It was a kiss that consumed Kurt and everything around him was meaningless and there was only him and Blaine.
