But they will~
Enjoy Reading!
Kurt looked at the message card he received some days ago for the fifth time and then took a sip on his coffee. It had been days since he received the anonymous letter and from then on it bothered him about who sent it. Kurt looked at his watch and then looked around. He was back at the Lima Bean and sitting all alone in one of the chairs and waiting anxiously for the mail sender. He looked back at the card again and read its content for the last time:
To: Mr Hummel
I know him. The guy with Blaine that night. If you want to know, let's meet at the Lima on Saturday afternoon.
From:_
Kurt frowned and wondered if this was a prank or something. Or if it was not, then who could have sent this message? It couldn't be Blaine, could it? Or could it be that guy himself? Was that anonymous guy ready to show himself in the light and admit his undying love for his ex-boyfriend? And then the two of them would live happily ever after while he, Kurt, watched in jealousy?
Kurt shook his head and decided to stop his imagination. It's not that he could stop Blaine from being with someone else, but the very idea seemed to worry him. He didn't know what he would feel if he ever see Blaine with someone else… not when he was still hurting and definitely not over him yet.
Maybe he should start seeing other guy too?
No, he wasn't ready for that yet.
Kurt's thoughts were interrupted when somebody dropped a cup of coffee on his table with a loud 'tap', and then that person sat opposite him easily. Kurt couldn't believe his eyes when he found himself staring directly at the Warbler, Sebastian Smythe.
"Hello, Kurt," Sebastian said with that usual smirk of his that Kurt really loathes.
"What are you doing?" Kurt couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "I'm meeting someone. Get out of my table."
Sebastian shrugged his shoulders, still smiling.
"Are you gonna meet Blaine here?" he asked.
Kurt didn't know how to respond to that. Should he tell Sebastian that his relationship with Blaine didn't work out at all? And then what's next? Sebastian running after Blaine like an octopus?
No, Kurt decided as he blinked and raised his eyebrows even higher. He wasn't ready for that either.
"It's none of your business whom I meet here or not," he snapped as he drank on his coffee.
Sebastian nodded and then flashed his dazzling teeth at Kurt.
"Why so snappy, Kurt? You'll get old with that and then Blaine won't like you and he'll come back to me cause I look much younger. Oh right—you're older than him, huh? Ain't that uncomfortable?"
Kurt glared at Sebastian and sent him a murderous look.
"Leave me alone, I don't want to chit chat with a known enemy."
Sebastian chuckled and placed his hand down the table. He then looked at Kurt meaningfully, and then leaned forward the table, making Kurt look at him cautiously.
"What?" he asked, looking a little perturbed at how close their distance were.
Sebastian gave him a long look, before saying,
"Alright. I'll tell. I'm the one who sent you that message."
"What?" Kurt's eyes rounded.
Sebastian nodded. "I made you come here because I know everything."
Kurt blinked so many times with a crease on his eyebrows. Sebastian eased himself back on his chair and leaned his back comfortably on it. The two guys looked at one another for a long time, before Kurt finally broke the silence.
"H-how did you know?" he asked uncertainly, "w-were you actually—?"
"Oh, sadly, no," Sebastian shook his head, "but I'll admit if I had known Blaine would be looking for some comfort that night then I would have gladly given him a hand."
Kurt's face burned in anger and he was ready to splash all his coffee on Sebastian's face if not for his own self-control. Sebastian didn't look like he was kidding at all and it made Kurt even madder.
"What do you know?" he asked instead through gritted teeth.
Sebastian drank his coffee with his eyes still on Kurt and then answered with that usual air of superiority on his voice.
"I know because Blaine told me everything."
"Blaine—?"
"Well, you can say that we were able to get over our difference and past during those weeks that he was all alone coz you left him hanging and broken. Thanks to that I was able to get on his good side and even became an important present. Something you were not able to do."
Kurt opened his mouth to retort back but Sebastian didn't give him the chance to speak as the Warbler member continued, "The point is he was all alone, and here I was ready to give him the comforting shoulder. It was a good move. He needed it the most."
Sebastian eyed Kurt icily.
"I head what happened… the reason why he was so drunk that night when he went with Eli."
"Eli—was that his name!?"
"Don't bother with the name, all I'm saying is that—Blaine was lonely. Did you get it Kurt? He told me how you wouldn't answer his phone calls, how you wouldn't bother asking about how he was? Forgetting to even congratulate him when he won his first presidency? I mean— Kurt— did you really even care about him? Or where you just happy that someone was out there for you and waiting while you become this fancy dream you wanted to be?"
Kurt couldn't react to that. Sebastian was lecturing him. That was how everything seemed to be like right now.
Was that even legal?
"I don't get it," Kurt said after awhile, sounding stung and upset, "why is everyone acting like I'm the one who made the mistake? He cheated on me! He was with another man! Why am I suddenly to be blamed for—for what happened between us!?"
"You are to be blamed," Sebastian said simply that made Kurt look at him in disbelief, "you were the one who said you'll work things out together. That you wouldn't change at all and still love him or whatever that is that you promised. But you even forgot the most important thing about being in a relationship. Caring."
Kurt felt like he was punched in the stomach with the way how his breathe seemed to be taken away. He looked away and tried to wipe away the single tear that was threatening to fall down his cheeks.
Sebastian didn't look happy at all, but he didn't look like someone who was finished either.
"I'm sorry if that hurt you, but the truth hurts. You have to face the fact that long distance relationship never ever works out. Not even for people who are meant for each other."
Kurt sniffed but still looked indifferent about it as he raised his eyes and looked at Sebastian.
"So why did you call me here? Is it because you want to have a good gloat? To tell me that I did everything wrongly? That Blaine deserves you now because you were there when he needed someone the most?"
Sebastian made a clicking sound with his tongue, and then raised his eyebrows at Kurt.
"That's exactly what I intend to do."
Kurt knew there must be something wrong with his stomach because it won't stop hurting, like a large hole suddenly formed to it, and that heavy object kept falling in it. Everything in him seemed to get numb.
Sebastian eyed him.
"I'm saying this now not because I want to annoy you but because I really care about Blaine; and the way our relationship is working now is a good chance for me to prove myself. I really like Blaine, Kurt, and that's not just my usual whimsical self. I truly care for Blaine, and I know he's still in to you, but that's not certain any longer. You two didn't work out, then maybe ours will."
And then leaning forward to the now pale Kurt, Sebastian continued, "I will make Blaine mine."
Kurt inhaled deeply as Sebastian stood up and left him on the table. He pressed his eyes closed and then suppressed the cry that's been wanting to come out from his lips.
Was this really the result of all his hard work?
Gaining something and losing another?
Kurt's lips trembled but he did his best not to cry in public. Instead, he stood up and left Lima Bean. His phone rang while he was walking on the sidewalk and saw the name on the screen.
Todd.
That was Rachel and Brody's friend from NYADA. Kurt looked at the name for a long time, before finally picking it up and walking away, crying.
