Once school was over, Blaine made his way over to the Lima Bean. It was his normal hang out spot, where he and Kurt would always get a cup of coffee. Going to the Lima Bean slowly became their favorite hangout spot, even after Kurt graduated. Kurt loved it so much that he even put in an application to work there. His first day on the job was a week after graduation. Every morning, Kurt went to work and every afternoon, Blaine would swing by and have coffee with him and talk.
Meeting for coffee was Blaine and Kurt's top priority now. Blaine was in his senior year, and Kurt was desperately trying to find some college to go to by next year. They were getting very busy. The busier they got, the less time they had to see each other. Kurt and Blaine took this time to just spend time together and chat about what was going on with each other and try to be each other's support system. Sadly over the past few weeks, all these conversations have been about Kurt, leaving Blaine to be his support. It was starting to become a re-run of what happened when a certain Chandler came into the picture.
Blaine made the mistake, during that time, by being distance. Not this time. It didn't matter how annoying Kurt was being, he was not going to distance him. He was not going to leave any room for anyone to steal his man.
It was a long walk to the Lima Bean, but Blaine made it there just in time as Kurt was taking off his apron and punching out on the time clock. Blaine entered the coffee shop and was greeted by a hug and kiss on the cheek from Kurt. "You have no idea how happy I am to see you." Kurt said with a sigh.
Blaine squeezed Kurt and they walked over to a table together. "Bad day?" Blaine said, already guessing in his mind of what terrible event Kurt was about to expound upon. He sat back in his chair and just waited.
"Uh, the day I find a college will not come soon enough." Kurt said. "I try every day to put up a good front but…" There was a pause. Then all of a sudden a bit of frustration arose in his voice. "I had no idea I was stepping back into high school, when I started here. People here talk to you like you are the most inferior person on the planet. They expect you to give them your undivided attention, when there are already fifty-five things I have to do. And if I have to clean one more toilet, I swear."
Blaine chuckled a little bit. He thought of how humbled Kurt must feel having to be in this position, no more was he feeling superior to everyone. He looked at his boyfriend and saw streaks and stains, even a wrinkle, in his uniform. Blaine would never forget this.
"I really don't see what's so funny, Blaine Anderson." Kurt said defensively.
"Oh, nothing," Blaine said, grinning. "I was just thinking about how you won't be snapping your fingers at the wait staff anymore, after this."
"Very funny." There was another pause in the conversation. Kurt sat across from Blaine staring him down. Blaine looked back at Kurt wondering what the stare was for. Finally Kurt broke the silence and said, "So are we going to talk about what happened last night? Or do I have to be passive aggressive again to force it out of you?"
"What do you mean? I thought that I made myself quite clear."
"You said I was being dramatic. And I was being selfish. Forgive me if losing something that I've been looking forward to, my whole life, hurts me a little."
"Kurt, it's not about NYADA. You could get into any college you wanted to. It's about how over the past three months, I have once again had to revolve everything in my life around you."
"What are you saying? I thought we agree that we would be there for each other. Be each other support? Those were your words, Blaine, not mine."
Blaine could not believe that he had to deal with this again. It was like he was repeating himself like a broken record. Frustration was really starting to boil over him, though he tried to suppress. "I know what I said, Kurt. Jesus! You still don't get it?"
"Get what?"
"When is this relationship going to stop being about you? I had to transfer to McKinley just so I can be with you. And yes, I loved McKinley. I did a lot of awesome stuff there and still am. And I love being with you and all that, but when is this relationship going to stop being the I Love Kurt show and start being about…when is it going to start being about me? This is my senior year. And I have wasted so much time, tending to you, helping you find what college you want to go to, being there for you that neither of us have done anything fun this whole summer, and I'm getting upset about the fact that if Kurt isn't happy, well, nobody can be."
"You make it sound like I soak up all the oxygen in the room. How many times have I been there for you? When your brother was here? When you got the role that I wanted desperately? How did I respond and how was I there for you. I am not the selfish one, Blaine. You are." Those were Kurt final words.
He stood up from the table and walk away to get a cup of coffee. He walked away from Blaine feeling hurt. He already lost the college of his dreams. It just seemed like he was losing Blaine too. One thing was for certain. None of this was he fault at all. It was Blaine who decided to help Kurt for colleges. It was Blaine decided to leave and go home with Kurt, when Kurt starting getting moody during their nights out with friends. Blaine had no reason to be upset with him.
He looked back at Blaine sitting at table, as he waited in line to order coffee. There Blaine sat with a look of frustration on his face. Kurt watched him as he rubbed his fingers against his forehead. At that moment, one of Kurt's biggest fears hit him like a freight train. He always knew Blaine's adjustment from Dalton to McKinley would develop some kind of resentment. He wondered if that fight from last night was one of the manifestations of that resentment.
