His parents are always asking him to give things up. His weekends (‘That fundraiser at the country club is this weekend. Your father is having your suit dry cleaned.’). His opinions (because staying quiet is so much easier than starting fights). His identity (‘Blaine you can’t come to the gala without a date. We told the So-In-So’s that you’d take *insert name of rich friend’s daughter here*. She’s a nice girl. Maybe you two will hit it off. *wink wink nudge nudge*’). He was always giving things up. And he was ok with it, really he was.

But this time...he wasn’t giving something up for a lost cause. Giving up this part would make the person he loved happy. And he’d do anything for Kurt.
