PROLOGUE
Where to begin?
Would it be in a coffee shop in Lima Ohio, when he told me he didn't like me?
Or was it when Kurt tossed a taped confession at me, leaving me humiliated in front of my friends?
I can't really say when my opinion of Kurt Hummel changed, but it did. Maybe it was so slowly that I didn't notice till now, or maybe the opinion I told myself was never really my opinion and I was just in denial?
But none of that matters now as I stare down from the balcony at Kurt's so-called fiancée groping some random guy on the dance floor in a shitty gay club on a Friday night in New York city.
Blaine hasn't seen me since that sickly sweet proposal he made over a two and a half years ago. We still text and Facebook messaged for a while but as soon as I stopped flirting with him he lost interest. It took me awhile to realize that the impression Blaine gave was of a really good guy and he was most of the time but the reality is he is very flawed and though I hate to admit it, I fell for it.
Blaine loves attention and eats it up. When we first met he was coy and though he did mention a boyfriend,see good guy Blaine, as I flirted he responded to it more and more, so was I wrong to think that maybe his relationship wasn't too solid?
I mean we were teenagers and teenagers fall in and out of love (lust) quicker than the Flash can run a mile and Blaine gave the impression that Kurt was clingy. I need to correct myself there, Blaine never corrected me when I said Kurt was clingy. He also never stopped me when I made fun of Kurt or came on to him in front of Kurt.
Kurt gave as good as he got but Blaine never stood up for him or told me to stop. I figured Blaine was hoping Kurt would get so pissed he'd finish it. It wasn't till I became friends with Santana that I got Kurt's side of things. Blaine had really convinced Kurt that I had a one-sided crush and how he kept his side of things family friendly. When she told me that I really had wished that I had kept those texts on my phone.
"Hey Slick what you staring at?"
I didn't have to answer her, she followed my line of sight to where Blaine was now straddling the random's lap checking his tonsils with his tongue while massaging the guys dick.
"Wishing it was you?" Santana said as she took some pictures on her phone.
"No, got over that phase long ago. Aren't you going to do something? Isn't Kurt your friend?"
"Yes I am and yes he is. Kurt fights his own battles. I tried to once and he made it clear that he would ask for help if he needed it. Trust me he's a bigger bitch than me when he gets going, not such a push over now." She finishes tapping at her phone.
We never really talk about Kurt. I don't ask and she never volunteers any info. Kurt knows we're friends, I've run into him once or twice when he's been meeting Satan from class. Kurt's the one who encouraged her to go college and some how we ended up in the same classes. We say polite hello's and engage in a bit of small talk till she's ready to go and that's about it. We've ended up at a couple of parties but don't really interacted at them, it's like he's nice for her sake, which works I guess.
I sound disappointed and I guess I am. I learned a lot about Kurt from some of the Warblers and though we don't talk about him directly Santana does mention him in her stories from her high school days. If the Blaine stuff hadn't happened I'm sure we could have been really good friends.
"Snap out of the day-dream Slick, you're about to miss the show." Santana pointed towards the door as she answered her phone, "Look up to the balcony." Santana started to wave as Kurt looked up and pointed down towards where Blaine was, "Yeah just past the Cher lookalike. Yeah I know but I love tacky so sue me Hummel. You see him? Good, we'll meet you there gives us a minute." Santana put her phone away, "Come on Seb we've got to see this close up."
"What?"
"Move your ass or we'll miss it. Kurt's been trying to prove Blaine's been cheating again for the last couple of months. The ass-hole been telling him he was staying in with Sam since Cedes is on tour, cheering his friend up cause he misses his girl. But Sam rang Kurt to see if he was okay cause Blaine had told him he couldn't stay in for their boys night cause Kurt was sick and he was going to look after him. Short version, Kurt told Sam to keep his mouth shut and to tell him when Blaine backed out of plans."
"So is this why you've dragged me to all these dive clubs and bars for the past month?"
"Well yeah duh, of course. He was going somewhere and seeing as the last time he cheated it was a random who poked him on Facebook. I figured when in New York where would a cheating rat go to get laid so his refined fiancée wouldn't find out."
"You could have told me that's what we were doing. I thought you had some kink for skanky women."#
"Hey, I'm a grade A lesbo thank you very much and as much as I like to get down and dirty at times, I also like my women with a bit more class than fucking in the back alley of some dive. I at least require my area of work to be clean if you know what I mean." Santana sticks her tongue between her two fingers and waggles it.
I about to respond to Santana as we make to where Kurt is standing. "How long has he been here?"
"I spotted him about an hour ago but the voyeur here spotted him before that."
Kurt was now looking at me, "He's been here for at least two hours and from what I saw he came in with the guy so he didn't just pick him up."
At that moment Kurt looked defeated, it lasted for a split second and then the Kurt I first met at the Lima bean appeared. His face turned cold and the look of superiority spread across it as he sucked in his chest and walked towards the pair.
God he was so beautiful and graceful as he tapped Blaine on his shoulder. I never knew why I had never seen it in him before.
"Would you care to introduce me to your boyfriend Blaine?" Blaine turned with a look of horror on his face, "No, okay I'll introduce myself." Kurt held out his hand, "I don't know if Blaine's ever mentioned me, Kurt Hummel, Blaine's fiancée and you are?"
If I didn't know the people involved I would have laughed, unlike Santana who started to roar at the look on the guy's face as he turned between looking at Kurt then Blaine and back again.
"By the look on your face I guess Blaine forgot then, but I'd still like a name if you don't mind the last guy's name was Eli."
"The last guy?" The guy stuttered.
"Oh yes he's done this before. Eli is the one I know about but I have suspicions of at least two more since ?" Kurt still held out his hand.
"Michael. I didn't know, I swear. I only met Brad... sorry Blaine a couple of weeks ago."
Kurt turned to Blaine, "Fake name, really? So what's the story Blaine, meet a guy, give fake details, see him till he starts to want more from you and then dump them and move on?" Blaine's eyes grew wide, "Thought so. One question, why? Am I not enough, am I lousy in bed, have you some kink you wanted to explore and was afraid to ask me?"
Blaine just sat there not saying a word. I wanted to shake him. Santana had stopped laughing and was now swearing-in Spanish. "What's wrong Satan?" Santana speaking again, "English woman."
"He makes Kurt think so little of himself that he automatically thinks something is wrong with him. Blaine has always done that, with Eli it was because Kurt wasn't there for him."
I always thought of Kurt as this really strong person who was so confident in himself, but now I didn't know what to think. Santana must have picked up on my thoughts, "Don't you dare think of him as weak. In every aspect of his life he is exactly what you see but when it comes to that puta he's not. He's always the one who has to do the work in that relationship, Blaine takes, never apologizes when he's wrong and gives nothing in return. Sometimes I wish David fought harder instead of giving up after one failed attempt of wooing him."
David, what the hell does that mean. Maybe I should reconsider our unspoken agreement not to discuss Kurt. I really thought I knew almost all there was to know but obviously I was wrong.
"Well seeing as you have nothing to saying and I don't fancy staying in this dump for too much longer, I guess I'll give you this and be on my way." Kurt pulled off his engagement ring and held it out to Blaine.
"Kurt we should talk about this. Don't do something you'll regret. You been so busy with school and you spend most of your free time with your band. I got lonely. This," Blaine points to Michael, "this means nothing. It's a distraction..."
"Bullshit. I fell for that load of crap once not again. Do you really think I'm that stupid? Don't answer that because you obviously do or you wouldn't have spouted it again. For your information we are both busy with school and you know that the band have this shot to put an album together which could lead to more and you're the one who has been to busy with Sam to spend time with me remember."
"I wanted to help with the album but you wouldn't let me remember."
"So this is my punishment for not letting you take this chance from me is it? So the not spending time together is bullshit? For your information I begged the band to let you be apart of it but they out voted me and now I'm so glad they did." Kurt dropped the ring and turned and left.
"So Blainey, I'll be taking the key to the loft back now and don't come and get the stuff you left there, I'll bring it over to you. If come anywhere near Kurt I'll turn your balls into earrings. Oh," Santana turned to Michael, "make sure you use a condom you don't know what he's picked up from trolling guys in these places. He had a suspicious looking sore on his lip a few weeks ago ...Herpes? you don't want to find out the hard way." Santana held out her hand waiting for the key."
Blaine handed her the key, "I'll get him back."
"Not this time, you won't. Oh by the way I spoke to Cedes she wants you gone from her apartment by the time she gets back next week, so it looks like you're getting a new room-mate Michelle." Santana waved at Michael as she walked away.
So this is where I'll begin, following Santana out of some club/bar looking for Kurt.
