A/N: I don't really know where this came from (as always)... just, I was a bit disappointed, I think, that Kurt and Blaine seemed to be best friends again without any explanation of how that happened (and yes, I know that there are a lot of fics around in which they make up... I just wanted to write one too :P). Besides, I thought Blaine was a bit weird in the episode anyway, but that might've been me.
There will be two more chapters of this (not sure when I'll write those with all the writing I have to do, though hopefully it will be before the next episode (because I just know I'll probably get at least one plot bunny from that)), all sort of related to what Blaine does/says in the episode (so that's what the title's for; sorry, I know it's lame). Hopefully you'll like it! (and I'm sorry if it's just plain weird...)

Well… this was awkward. Rachel had run off, Blaine was in the restroom and now Kurt was sort of… standing in line for him? No, that wouldn't do. They weren't even on speaking terms, let alone on… standing-in-line-for-each-other terms. Why was Blaine in the restroom anyway? Didn't he just come straight from school? And who goes to stand in line if they actually need to use the restroom? That didn't make any sense whatsoever.
Alright, this wasn't going anywhere really. With a sigh, Kurt walked back to the table he'd previously been sitting at with Rachel, grabbed one of the half eaten muffins and walked out the door before Blaine could emerge again. Strangely enough, Kurt wasn't really in the mood to talk to him now. He needed to sort out his thoughts first.
He was well aware of the fact that he hadn't exactly been a very supportive friend – Blaine had always been there to help him whenever he had some sort of a personal crisis, so it was only natural that he should return the favour if the occasion ever arose. Now Blaine had been in a rather… severe identity crisis and Kurt had basically told him that it wasn't real and he, Kurt, wasn't taking it seriously.
He wasn't even sure why he'd made those comments about bisexuality not existing. Weren't Santana and Brittany pretty much bisexual too? It had been in the heat of the argument, he reasoned with himself, he hadn't really thought it through.
On the other hand, though, did Blaine really have to parade the fact that he was going out with Rachel – of all people he could've gone out with, it just had to be Rachel Berry – around in front of Kurt? After the conversation they'd had around Valentine's Day? That was pretty cruel too. Sure, Blaine probably didn't realise how it must've felt for him – he was oblivious like that – but could a person really be that clueless?
Come to think of it – Blaine had also compared him to Karofsky, while he knew how sensitive a subject that was for him.
And now, Rachel had kissed Blaine, and Blaine was sure he was gay. Shouldn't Kurt be happy about that? He figured that he should – the guy he was in love with was fully within his league (and out of Rachel's) again – but for some reason, he wasn't.
He knew he would never look at Rachel in the same way ever again, and the same went for Blaine. Plus, it wasn't as if they could go back to where they were before all of this happened. That didn't make any sense.
But perhaps, that was for the best – he knew now that Blaine was far from perfect, and Rachel would never change. He was better off knowing those two things.

The next day, he was ready for the confrontation. Sort of – he wasn't sure if he was ever going to be fully ready for this. But if Blaine wanted to talk, they could talk. If not – well, that wasn't going to happen, because that just wasn't like Blaine.
And indeed it wasn't – he'd barely gotten out of his car that morning when Blaine was standing next to him already, demanding that they talk.
"Then talk," Kurt told him, walking towards the school's front doors briskly, Blaine following not too far behind.
"You were gone when I came back yesterday." It didn't sound like an accusation, but right now, Kurt wasn't so sure.
"That I was," he replied simply. "I didn't really… feel like talking then and there."
"But you do want to talk now?" Blaine asked, sounding a little unsure. When Kurt nodded briefly, he smiled a bit – though it was forced. "Good, that's – great. I was afraid that you wouldn't want to talk it over."
"I'm sorry," Kurt cut him off, deciding to just get straight to the point. "I shouldn't have said some of the things I said, but I was upset and miserable."
"So was I," Blaine replied quietly as they stood (somewhat awkwardly) in the main hall, with students passing them the whole time. "But I shouldn't have compared you to Karofsky. You're nothing like him, and it was just a stupid thing to do. I just – want to put this all behind us, you know? Can we pretend it never happened?"
"I guess," Kurt responded. He was a little doubtful, though. What if that wasn't the right way of doing this?
Blaine sighed, sounding relieved. "Thanks, Kurt. I really didn't want to jeopardise this… whatever it is. It would be such a stupid thing to do." He chuckled weakly. "I mean, we're both gay, and we still fight over girls? That doesn't make much sense."
"You're right, it doesn't," Kurt agreed. With a sigh, he continued, "And I should've been more supportive. I get that it must've been confusing to you."
"It was," Blaine admitted. "Still, maybe I should've… thought about how it made you feel."
"You're naturally oblivious," Kurt told him with a shrug, "it happens." That didn't mean, however, that he was happy with that fact.
"I'll try to work on it," Blaine promised. "Now let's go, or we'll be late for class."
With a small smile, Kurt followed him through the school. Maybe, everything was going to turn out just fine. He just hoped that at least Blaine wouldn't be that oblivious anymore, ever again.
(That hope proved to be futile some time later, when Blaine took it upon himself, as a sort of self-proclaimed… sex expert (even though he'd only read about it on the internet and he'd only ever had a relationship with Rachel, with whom he'd just kissed twice (or so Kurt presumed)), to teach Kurt about just that – sex.
Because, you know, that totally wasn't awkward, having one of your best friends, whom you also happened to be in love with, try to tell you about sex between two guys. Yup, not awkward at all.)
A/N: Sooo... what do you think? If you have anything you'd like to say about this (or not), don't hesitate, please leave a review! :)
