Blaine knew he had to do this. It was the only way for them to be who they were supposed to be, without the other just tagging along. They had to separate Kurt and Blaine from Kurt and Blaine to become better people. Or both of them will end up hurt.
It was a mature thing to do. Letting Kurt go and follow his dreams. Even if they didn't involve Blaine. And Blaine couldn't handle the long distance thing. He needed to feel like he was alive again, even if he had to have a broken heart to breathe again.
It wasn't like they were just going to disappear out of each others lives. Blaine knew that he'd never be fully okay without Kurt there, no matter what they were. And he knew that after all, they were Kurt and Blaine, They had to end up married, no matter what the world threw at them, they had to, cause if true love did exist, then that was what it felt like.
Maybe they just weren't supposed to be High School sweethearts. Maybe they just had to wait a bit and try again, when they at least lived in the same town. It's not like Blaine was going to give up on Kurt. He'd never give up on Kurt.
He loved Kurt and he knew that Kurt loved him too. Everyone knew that, there was really no denying that. And who said that Blaine won't come back crawling to Kurt and beg him to take him back the next fall, when he started college. Cause he knew that if Kurt was still single then, that's exactly what he'll do. But he still had to break-up with him, so they could go back and say "yes, we were mature and did what was the best at the time". So they could go back and never question the fact that they were it.
It didn't change the fact that it hurt like hell to think about Kurt's face when he told him that. He didn't want Kurt to think he wanted to sleep around from now on and he was the only thing in his way. He wanted Kurt to understand that he couldn't, shouldn't do something like that to himself. Blaine took a deep breath and knocked, hiding behind the three dozens of roses he bought and when he saw the light slipping in between the petals, he gave them to – for only the next two minutes tops – his boyfriend.
He wanted to tell him everything. How much it hurt when they had to cancel their Skype dates because of something random. How much he missed his touch. How much he physically ached for Kurt to love him the same way he did when they were still blissfully obvious to the outside world in the little cow town that Lima is. That he wanted Kurt to love him like that again someday.
But he just looked up into Kurt's eyes and he knew, like always, cause that's how the worked. How the will always work, cause it won't change a thing, they were still Kurt and Blaine, even though they were back to "just friends". They loved each other enough for that to happen.
"I love you."
"Me too. Always."
