Author's Notes: Okay. So I have a feeling you guys may hate me after this chapter. But please don't. Also who sobbed like a baby at The Break Up? I spent most of my friday night, rocking back and forth in a corner shouting BLAINE WHY. ahem.

Friday night.

Kurt and Daniel had been out three times this week; nothing special, dinner at an Italian restaurant Kurt liked and a drink at a local bar. But it wasn't the same. Sure, Kurt liked the guy, he was really sweet and nice and attractive but he wasn't Blaine. For now, not being Blaine would have to do.

The third time they had gone out was tonight, again just a drink at the bar and Daniel had walked Kurt home. Kurt had his key in the lock and was about to turn around to say goodnight when Daniel kept hold of his wrist. "So I had a really good time tonight Kurt. Thank you" Daniel said, quietly but sincerely.

"So did I" Kurt smiled back, he did have a good time, it just didn't feel necessarily right.

"I know you just got out a relationship and you probably don't need this right now but-"Daniel stopped his sentence short and leaned forward, pressing his lips softly to Kurt's. Kurt kissed him back for the briefest of seconds before pulling away again. "Night" Kurt said giving Daniel an awkward squeeze on the shoulder.

"Wait, what are you doing tomorrow night?" Daniel asked hopefully.

"It's my roommate's show at Vibe tomorrow, I'm sorry" Kurt said apologetically. However, seeing the disappointment on Daniel's face, he added "But you er, you could come with me?"

"I'd love too. Night Kurt" Daniel replied happily.

Kurt got inside the apartment and shut the door quickly. He swiftly turned round and rested his head on the door, whacking it there lightly. "What are you doing Kurt? Really?" he whispered to himself.


An hour later, Kurt was sat on the sofa, Melody asleep in his lap, watching some old rerun of F.R.I.E.N.D.S. He didn't know where Blaine was, normally if the other wasn't home by eight; they called each other to see what was going on. It was quarter to nine but he figured Blaine's a grown man, he'll be okay.

Kurt wondered about whether or not he should bring Daniel to Blaine's show tomorrow. Maybe he should just call it off or something. Blaine was no doubt an incredible performer but being an incredible performer, often meant Blaine ending up in very tight shirts, sweating and looking, well, hotter than ever. Kurt wouldn't be able to concentrate on anything but Blaine.

Was Kurt doing something wrong? He was kinda dating Daniel now right or at least they were doing something, but Kurt was hopelessly in love with someone else. Was it fair on Daniel that one day if Blaine suddenly turns to Kurt and tells him he loves him back that Kurt leave Daniel alone? Was it fair on him to try and not face reality?

There was a knock at the door, Kurt frowned and picked Melody up in his arms, carrying her to the door with him. Once the door was open, Blaine was standing there, an embarrassed smile on his face.

"Hello" he said. "I forgot my keys"

"Idiot" Kurt said, playfully swatting Blaine with Melody's front paw. "The cat is judging you"

"No she's not" Blaine said, bobbing down so his cheek was next to the cat. She nudged her nose forward and gave the cat equivalent of a kiss on his cheek. "See, she loves me" he said, wandering off to the kitchen.

Kurt rolled his eyes and headed back into the living room, Melody settling back in his lap.

"Why were you late?" Kurt called into the kitchen.

"Cooper called while I was still at the library. You know how long he can take on the phone"

Kurt smiled to himself as he recalled the hours Blaine had sat on the sofa, listening to his brother boast (or whine) about parts he was auditioning for but never seemed to get.

A couple of minutes later, Blaine returned a cupcake in his hand. "Are you coming to the show tomorrow?"

"Of course, I never miss your shows" Kurt said. Then he remembered. He'd asked Daniel to come with him.

"Is it okay if I bring someone?" Kurt asked, not looking at Blaine.

Blaine faltered for a second, his hand stilling where he was about to bite into the mini cake. "Um, sure, it's not my bar, it's a free show" he said after a moment of hesitation. "I'm kinda bringing someone as well" Blaine added quietly.

"Oh right" Kurt said, wondering why it suddenly felt so awkward between them.

"Anyway, I have some work to finish off. I'll be in my room if you need me" Blaine said, giving a mock salute.


Blaine sighed and sat on his bed.

Cooper hadn't called him.

He turned round the corner to the apartment to see Kurt kissing some guy on the doorstep. Knowing they hadn't seen him, he'd turned round and walked away.

It pained him. It actually physically pained him to see Kurt with other people. His heart had started beating faster with jealously and he really felt like going back, pulling the other guy off Kurt's mouth and kissing Kurt instead.

But he couldn't.

Kurt was his own person; he could do whatever he wanted. Or whoever.

He just wished it was him.


Saturday Night. 7pm.

"Blaine!" Rachel called as she entered the bar, waving at him from where he was stood at the counter talking to Puck.

"Hey Rach" he said, accepting the kiss on the cheek she gave him.

"Come on Berry, where's my kiss?" Puck said cheekily, patting his cheek.

"You have a girlfriend" she said pointedly but gave him a kiss anyway.

"Where's Kurt?" she asked Blaine. He glanced over to the table near the stage where Kurt was sitting with the same guy from last night – Did Kurt say his name was Daniel?- who had his hand a little bit too firmly around Kurt's waist for them to just be friends. "There" Blaine said looking away again.

She waved at Kurt who waved back, a smile on his face before turning her attention back to Blaine. "Why are you so quiet?"

"I'm fine" he answered. She glanced at Kurt who was also staring at Blaine and then back at Blaine who was deliberately not looking at Kurt. "Blaine, what's going on with you and K-"she was cut off when a man called "Blaine" and hugged him.

"Whoa, Nate hi" Blaine said a little taken aback, but he hugged the guy anyway. Blaine liked Nate, he was nice and all but he did invite himself along tonight, something Blaine had never liked in people.

"How are you?" Nate asked kindly.

"I am great" Blaine replied smiling. He noticed Rachel and Puck looking at him with raised eyebrows, giving each other puzzled looks. "Sorry, erm, Nate, this is my friend Rachel, that's Puck and" Blaine paused as he accidently caught Kurt's eye from across the room. "And that's my roommate Kurt" Blaine said pointing at Kurt who smiled and gave a tiny wave, but he looked rather uncomfortable too.

"Blaine, show's starting in five, you better go get ready" Puck said, tossing him a bottle of water.

"Okay, thanks. Enjoy the show guys" Blaine said nodding and heading towards the stage. On his way past, he saw Kurt give him a supportive thumbs up and smile, mouthing "Good luck". Blaine grinned back, no matter how bad he was feeling about Kurt being with someone else, he knew full well Kurt would be there for him.

"Um, hello everyone" Blaine said into the microphone, smiling at the audience. Every time he played, the crowds had started to get bigger and bigger each week.

"I'm Blaine Anderson and I'm gonna sing some songs for you tonight. Some my own, some not my own but I hope you enjoy"


Kurt couldn't get enough of Blaine when he performed. The way his hair slowly unravelled from its prison of gel, the adorable faces he made when singing, the smiles he gave people, how Kurt could tell how grateful he was for any applause by his eyes, just how happy he looked.

Every so often, Blaine would make sure to catch Kurt's gaze and wink or smile or something and it made Kurt's heart flutter.

Something another man should not be making his heart do when he had the guy he was meant to be dating with an arm around his waist.


"So this is the last one tonight everyone, but thanks for coming out and I hope you enjoyed it. I'll be back same time next week" Blaine said, panting and out of breath but still raring to go.

"Stop! The train is riding
Down to the station
Where you lived
When we were school kids"

Blaine sneakily glanced at Kurt during the last line and Kurt sat up straighter, never taking his eyes off Blaine.

"Hey! the rails are gone now
And I am falling down
Fools in a spiral
Round this town of steel
"

Daniel had noticed Kurt throughout the show, he'd barely spoken to him once, he constantly kept his eyes on Blaine, smiling whenever Blaine shot him a quick glance or smile.

"My body tells me no
But I won't quit
Cause I want more
Cause I want more
My body tells me no
But I won't quit
Cause I want more
Cause I want more
"

Blaine's eyes bored right into Kurt throughout the chorus, maybe sub-consciously, maybe on purpose. Blaine wasn't sure. All he knew is that during this song he could never think of anything or anyone but Kurt. He could see Nate giving Kurt side glances from his table, almost looking pissed off.

Blaine realised he hadn't paid any attention to him whatsoever all night. Whoops. But he had to carry on, he couldn't tear his eyes away from Kurt when he looked this damn hot.

"Stop! The train is riding
Down to the station
Where I lived
When I was a cool kid

Hey! Is it my fault that
The fallen embers burn
Down in a spiral
Round your crown of thieves"

Rachel was sat at the bar counter, opposite Puck who had put down the glass he was cleaning. Leaning over to her, he whispered "Is he singing this to Kurt?"

"Yup" she nodded in return, biting her lip.

"My body tells me no
But I won't quit
Cause I want more
Cause I want more
My body tells me no
But I won't quit
Cause I want more
Cause I want more"

It rides out of town

Oh, it's my road
It's my road
It's my road
It's my road
It's my road
It's my road

And it's my war
It's my war
It's my war
It's my war"

Kurt was in internal denial. Blaine couldn't be singing this to him could he? Not when Blaine had bought along an extremely attractive guy to his show and when Blaine had never shown any interest in him before. Kurt's breathing had been getting heavier, he should have looked away but he couldn't. Why are you doing this now Blaine? Great way to really fuck up my head Kurt thought to himself.

"His eyes are open
His eyes are open

Oh, cause I want more
I want more
I want more

His eyes are open
His eyes are open

Hey, hey, hey-

My body tells me no
But I won't quit
Cause I want more
Cause I want more
My body tells me no
But I won't quit
Cause I want more
Cause I want more

It rides out of town"

Blaine finished the song and finally took his eyes away from Kurt. The audience ruptured into applause and Blaine bowed, pulling his guitar over his head. "Thank you!" he shouted once more. Clambering down off the stage, he was met with a smiling Nate.

"So what did you – oomph" Blaine let out in shock when Nate grabbed his face and kissed him. Blaine didn't know what to do, he didn't want to push the guy away but he didn't really want to kiss him back either.

"You liked it then?" Blaine asked surprised when Nate pulled away.

"You could say that" Nate said, his eyes raking over Blaine's sweaty toned stomach, easily visible through his t-shirt. Blaine knew that look. He gently pushed Nate's hands away from his arms and tried to say look I'm sorry you're sweet and everything but not what I'm looking for when out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Kurt lean over and kiss Daniel. A kiss that quickly turned heated.

Blaine shouldn't have said it, he knew he shouldn't have. But he did it anyway.

"Okay" he nodded back at Nate who took this as a reason to kiss Blaine again. This time, Blaine kissed him back.
