This portion of the story is from "Just Another Night" its focus is around the conversation between Brinley and Blaine as mentioned in the story.
As Blaine promised, he and I remained friends after the break-up. At first it was a little awkward knowing that we dated at one point and what led to a break-up but we soon began to shake off the trauma and were at ease like nothing ever happened to us.
Today we were sitting at our regular coffee house. Just a week beforehand Blaine got out of a relationship so I thought I would cheer him up and take him out. He didnt seem like he was in such a bad mood but a break-up is still a break-up, it hurts no matter what.
"So, I was talking to Madeline the other day and she asked about you. She was wondering how you were doing?" I began a brief conversation with Blaine. Madeline was a girl who went to school with us. Yes, Blaine and I have known each other for a long time before we started dating.
"Im doing good." Blaine replied positively, "Whats Madeline been up to since high school?"
"She just recently got married." I said with a smile. I was happy for my old friend, although his tells you how far apart we grew since graduation. We planned on being each others maid-of-honor.
"Oh, Im so happy for her. Tell her I said congratulations!"
"Ill make sure to tell her that the next time we speak."
Blaine looked down at his cup that he began swirling in his hands, you could tell by the far off gleam in his eye he was thinking of something. I was about to ask if everything was alright but he spoke up before me.
"Whats everyone elses love life like? Do you know?" Blaine asked me as he began pouring a Splenda packet into his coffee.
"I know that Joseline and Adam are engaged and Austin has been in a committed relationship and thinking about proposing to his girlfriend." I told him. I had been given the information of our friends whereabouts from Madeline when I spoke to her.
"Just look at all our friends starting something new in their life!" He exclaimed, "And look at us."
"Youve made it farther than me." I assured.
He crumpled the packet and tossed it on to the table, "It hasnt been that great. You know that it hasnt been great."
"Maybe things with you and Jeffery wouldve eventually gotten better...?" I began to suggest but he shot me a real dirty look then quickly looked down at his cup, "Sorry."
"Jeffery would have never worked out. I realize now that I never loved him. I was going to leave him sooner or later, that is, if he didnt leave me first. Maybe Im just meant to be without anybody..."
"Dont talk like that. Blaine Anderson, you are such a great man. Youre extremely nice and extremely gorgeous. You are going to find somebody someday."
"How do you know, Brin? How can you ever be so sure about that? Thats been three guys now! Four, if you count Kurt."
"Kurt?" I questioned. How could I not remember Kurt?
"Kurt. The stripper..." He said so obviously, like I was supposed to remember that man. Then it dawned on me: How the hell did Blaine remember Kurt if they only spoke once?
"Blaine, I know this because I dated you. I know because it was not your fault that your boyfriends didnt work out like they should have. I know because if you can remember Kurt who I assumed you had a one-night stand with then theres something about him that means something to you."
Blaine looked back up at me, "Kurt doesnt mean anything to me." I could clearly hear the lie in his voice. I knew he was thinking about him as he said so.
"Blaine, look deep within yourself and tell me what you think of when you think about him."
I watched as Blaine sat back and began to think about his answer, "I wouldnt be lying if I told you that when I was with everyone else I though about Kurt. I thought about how he kissed so much better, and, well, how he did other stuff so much better. How he was overall better."
I continued to listen to Blaine as he went on about Kurt, "... his intoxicating aroma. He smelt of vanilla..." and "... the way he moved, so swift..." and "... I just really wish I had more of a chance with him. I stopped it too soon."
Blaine began shifting back and forth uncomfortably in his seat, "Sounds to me like you really like the stripper."
"I... err... no...?" He said in more of a question as he shifted to his right, then quickly back to his left.
"Whats wrong? You seem... antsy?" Blaine sighed, "Like you have to pee." I tried to joke.
He sighed again, "Maybe I do have some feelings for Kurt. I dont know... maybe its just the sex talking...?"
"Just the sex? Are you sure?"
"Well, its been so long..."
I looked down at my hands folded on the table, "Maybe you should go to him? Relieve yourself?"
"Oh no, I couldnt do that. He told me he wouldnt mind, he offered it, but not after Taylor. I cant."
"Why?" I suddenly had him right where I wanted him.
"Because I love him too much." Blaine responded without any hesitation then gasped right after he did.
I looked up and sat back in my chair, "Theres your answer."
Blaine nodded and stood up, "Youre right. I need to go find Kurt. I need him. I want him to know, and if it goes farther then fine by me! As long as it means something."
He began walking toward the exit, "Go win him." I whispered at him as a smile grew on my face. I really didnt care where I ended up but I did care that Blaine had his happy ending, and his happy ending was with Kurt.
