Moving On To You
So, this just sort of happened after watching the new episodes. It may or may not involve a little bit of Dave bashing in later chapters…depending on what happens on the show that upsets me lol Let me know what you all think :)
Chapter 1
Kurt knew what he had done was stupid. He wasn't naive. He had a moment of doubt, he foolishly let everything get on top of him and he took it out on the one person he couldn't bare to be without. Blaine. He believed what he said at first about being too young, they were kids, he was just having cold feet, it was natural, the future was looming ahead so quickly and he just needed it to slow down, and now Blaine was gone. He tried to deny his stubbornness; believe that not having Blaine was for the best, but speed dating and blind dates and being told by a stranger that 'You're just not over that guy' hurt. The truth hurt. He had lost him. Going home was the best thing for him, he missed his dad, he missed Carole, being home just made everything feel easier. Being back at McKinley was strange, it had been the best thing that ever happened to him, this was where he had truly found himself, but on the flip side it was where he had been hated for being himself, bullied, tormented, he didn't admit it to anyone, even to Blaine but he still had nightmares about it. On rough days he still saw Dave's face, felt his lips brutally on his, felt every shove over and over, and now he saw it even more. Only this time Blaine was there too, laughing at him, telling him how pathetic he was. Dave would hurt him and Blaine would spit 'I'll never forgive you for this' and Kurt would wake up alone.
"It's good to be home." Rachel said as they stood together at the homecoming dance, the fireworks still going off above them, she wrapped her arms around him and sighed against him.
"I guess." Kurt whispered, he couldn't help but think it would have been better to be home if Dave wasn't with Blaine. He could see them together, Dave wrapped an arm around Blaine pulling him closer, he hated how comfortable Blaine seemed against him. It didn't look right. Blaine was the cuddler, he was the one that wrapped arms around him. He tore his eyes away quickly as Blaine looked at him. He didn't want to see the pity in his eyes. "I'm starting to think home isn't here anymore." He whispered to Rachel.
"He'll see sense, Kurt. I mean come on...Dave?" She shook his head. "He's just hurting over what you did. You two are endgame. Just give it time." Kurt just nodded weakly, he didn't believe her one bit. "We'll keep you busy, and we will show Blaine just what he's missing."
"Yeah, I guess. I just want to go home and have a grey's anatomy marathon or something." He shrugged weakly.
"Well, as your best friend, I am not going to let you do that." She whispered. The truth was, Rachel blamed herself a little for Kurt's flip out on Blaine. She hadn't been there for her best friend, she was the one he went to over the little things Blaine did that got to him, just like they knew Blaine went to Sam about Kurt. But with her gone, Kurt had no one to turn to, and everyone knew when he bottled things up for too long he couldn't keep it in forever no matter who got hurt in the process.
"Rachel…"
"We are going dancing." She decided. "We will have a few drinks. You will forget about Blaine for one night and I will forget about the blow up of my career."
"I really don't fancy it." He whispered.
"No way am I letting you stay home moping about Blaine and the bear." Mercede's voice popped up from behind them, and as she draped her arms around his shoulders he couldn't help but smile. Everyone was home, even if it was just for a little while. Everyone was home and maybe it wouldn't be so bad.
"Come on, lets all go out." Rachel said, bouncing slightly on her feet and Kurt knew when she was in this mood it would be foolish to say no.
"Fine." He sighed quietly, giving in. Before Kurt really knew what was happening the whole gang were planning their homecoming night, drinks and dancing, they were all about to head off to a new club when Blaine and Dave walked over. To Kurt's surprise, Puck stepped beside him and wrapped an arm around his shoulders, Kurt felt comforted by this and leaned in against him.
"Hey guys," Blaine said cheerily.
"Hi Blaine." Mercedes smiled, Kurt noticed that she too moved closer to Kurt. Kurt was honored but he really didn't need the protection. "It's good to see you again."
"You too." He beamed. "All of you. It feels like forever."
"I guess it has been forever." Santana said, her eyes rolling over Dave with a bit of disgust. Kurt sighed, this wasn't how it was supposed to be.
"Me and Dave were going to head for dinner… Do you guys want to join us?" Blaine offered. Kurt could see how hard he was trying, and Kurt wanted to go to dinner with Blaine and be like how it used to be, but he knew that would never happen. Not with Dave there. Yes they were friendly, but really? Dinner. No.
"Actually, we're going out, we have reservations at the new club that's opening up. One of Kurt's friends from New York runs it and has promised us all an amazing night." Santana smirked. Kurt frowned, the way she had said Kurt's friends definitely insinuated that it wasn't just a platonic friendship. Kurt wanted to hit her, Blaine looked hurt by the comment.
"Do you want to come?" Kurt offered, he wasn't too sure why his voice was so shaky.
"No, it's fine. You guys go. Have a good time." Blaine said. "Maybe we can catch up before you go back to New York?"
"I'm staying here for the year." Kurt said softly looking down awkwardly.
"Well, still. Catch up?" Blaine said tilting his head in a way that Kurt couldn't help but think he was cute.
"Yeah, that sounds good." Kurt said quietly, but he wasn't sure if good was the word he was actually looking for. "I'll text you."
"Okay." Blaine said with a weak smile before walking away with Dave. Kurt wished that he hadn't looked over in time to see them link hands.
"Come on, you need a strong drink and a distraction." Puck said softly. "Maybe you'll find a new bear of your own."
Kurt looked up at him to see if he was serious and he couldn't help but laugh and it felt good. Maybe Puck was right, a strong drink did sound amazing, and if he found a distraction from Blaine. Then so be it. He walked with his friends with an extra bounce in his step.
