A/N: Okay, here's part 2! The song used in this part is I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That) by Meatloaf. It's also the basis for the title of this story! It's not necessary to listen to the song when you get to that part in the story because the whole thing's 12 minutes long and I don't use it all, but it really is an awesome song if you do get the chance to listen to it. I'm sorry if some parts seem rushed. I've been having a busy week with my classes and everything, but I really wanted to get this up.

I guess I should say that you're probably not going to be happy with Kurt's actions in this chapter (I admit I'm not happy with them myself), but just know that he's struggling with what he wants and what he thinks he needs. Anyway, here's part 2 (there'll be 1 more part after this.)

After attempting to remove the remainder of tears still present on his face, Kurt returned to Adam's side. Adam grinned when he saw Kurt, but his expression immediately altered when he noticed Kurt's red eyes and blotchy complexion. "Kurt?" he questioned, placing a comforting hand on Kurt's shoulder. "Is everything okay?"

Kurt looked up at Adam and appreciated his concern, but he just felt empty inside. He didn't know if there was any way to assuage the overwhelming sadness he felt. "Can we just please go back and pretend that the last twenty minutes didn't happen?" he managed to say in a whisper.

Adam gave Kurt's shoulder a gentle squeeze and nodded, worried about Kurt but truthfully thankful he was not privy to what happened between Kurt and Blaine.

While Kurt made the effort to display a cheerful countenance for Adam's sake, the back of his mind was perpetually playing back and analyzing the scene he had just been a part of with Blaine. He couldn't calm the feeling of apprehension over Blaine's conduct. He was genuinely worried, and a part of him wished he could find Blaine, wrap the hurting boy up in his arms, and never let go. Kurt shook his head, trying to remove those thoughts. Sure, Blaine was sorry. Sure, he looked adorably helpless. He had patiently waited and gave Kurt the distance he requested, and only when Kurt approached him did he lay it all on the line once again. Kurt knew that he couldn't keep doing this when it comes to Blaine; he couldn't succumb to his puppy dog eyes and irresistible charm and smile. He was with Adam now because he needed something bigger than his old high school romance, right?

Kurt paid no attention to anyone but Adam for the next few songs, despite the fact that his mind was a little preoccupied. He danced with Adam and even managed to laugh a little, but he couldn't ignore the words running constantly through his head: I've never stopped loving you, and I don't think I'm ever going to.

While his focus was solely on Adam, he failed to notice Blaine stumble up on stage after the girls had performed an upbeat number that received copious amounts of applause. The crowd happily mingled as Blaine spoke to the band, and Adam made note of Kurt's distance. "Are you sure you're okay?" he asked, craning his neck in an attempt to fall in Kurt's line of vision. "It's just obvious that something happened between you and Blaine, and I don't know. Should I be worried?"

Kurt glanced up at Adam for a brief moment before turning away, paying little attention to the dark haired boy on the stage beginning to play the piano, soon accompanied by the rest of the band members. "No, no," Kurt muttered. "Nothing-nothing happened."

"Kurt, please look at me." Adam sounded close to tears, so Kurt gazed directly into his eyes.

After a few seconds, Kurt definitively said, "It's over. It's been over for a long time. He knows that." He had a hard time figuring out if he was trying to convince Adam or himself.

Adam, however, seemed to accept Kurt's response as he pulled him close. Kurt stood erect and inhaled sharply. Troubled by his instinctual response, he allowed himself shut his eyes and hug Adam back. He lifted his head up to hook his chin on Adam's shoulder as the boy at the piano took a deep breath in and started to sing.

And I would do anything for love

I'd run right into hell and back

Instantly recognizing the voice, Kurt's eyes flew open and he gradually rose his head from Adam's shoulder, focusing on the stage.

I would do anything for love

I'd never lie to you and that's a fact

Blaine sang with his entire heart. As he concentrated on playing the notes, he scanned the crowd until his eyes locked on Kurt who was staring right back. His voice faltered slightly at the sight of Kurt still wrapped in Adam's arms, but he needed to express everything he was feeling. He needed to tell Kurt that giving up was not an option for him.

But I'll never forget the way you feel right now

Oh no, no way

He had given Kurt the distance he asked for; he waited for Kurt to come to him, but he forbid himself to do that anymore. Anything Kurt wanted, he was willing to do.

And I would do anything for love, but I won't do that

No, I won't do that.

But sitting around while Kurt fell in love with somebody else was the one thing Blaine Anderson was not going to do. Blaine jumped up from the piano bench, allowing someone else to take over, as the tempo picked up. He stopped in front of the microphone center stage, eyes never leaving Kurt.

Some days it don't come easy

Some days it don't come hard

Some days it don't come at all, and these are the days that never end

Maybe I'm crazy, and it's crazy and it's true

I know you can save me; no one can save me now but you

Kurt was so entranced by the performance that he could barely concentrate on Adam whispering in his ear. His gaze lingered on Blaine no matter how many times he mentally told himself to look away. "What do you think, Kurt?" When Adam didn't hear a response, he loosened his hold on Kurt to see why he was being so quiet. "Kurt?" When he noticed Kurt's attention was somewhere else, he spun around to get a look at the singer for the first time.

As long as the planets are turning

As long as the stars are burning

As long as dreams are coming true

You'd better believe it, that I would do

Believing Kurt was upset by what was happening, Adam grabbed his arm, attempting to pull him towards the parking lot. "Come on. We can go. We don't have to stay here."

Kurt, however, yanked his arm out of Adam's grasp. "No. Wait. Not yet."

Anything for love

And I'll be there until the final act

I would do anything for love, and I'll take a vow and seal a pact

But I'll never forgive myself if we don't go all the way tonight

Blaine's voice shook and he willed his tears not to fall. He noticed Kurt was no longer in Adam's hold but was now facing him directly; their eyes remained locked.

I would do anything for love

Oh, I would do anything for love

Oh, I would do anything for love, but I won't do that

No, I won't do that

As the song picked up again, Blaine was really singing it with everything emotion in his body. Kurt sighed, tears falling, and shook his head. "No. Stop. Don't do this. Don't." In the midst of his mumbling, he turned and fled towards the parking lot, Adam following closely behind.

I would do anything for love

Anything you've been dreaming of, but I just won't do that

I would do anything for love

Anything you've been dreaming of, but I just won't do that

I would do anything for love

Anything you've been dreaming of, but I just won't do that

I would do anything for love

Anything you've been dreaming of, but I just won't do that

Blaine looked up, letting his eyes browse the crowd once again, and his face fell when Kurt was nowhere in sight. He continued singing, but let the tears forming in his eyes lightly trickle down his cheeks. Even if Kurt was no longer there to hear him, he needed to hear himself.

Maybe I'm lonely, that's all I'm qualified to be

That's just one and only, the one and only promise I can keep

"Kurt, can you please stop and talk to me for a second?" Adam breathed heavily as he tried keeping up with Kurt's quick pace. He bent over with his hands on his knees when Kurt finally stopped and turned around.

Kurt was openly crying, making no effort to dry his tears. "I'm sorry, Adam. I just, I needed to get out of there."

"You're still in love with him, aren't you?" Adam sounded close to tears.

After hesitating, "No." It seemed to come out more as a shaky breath than an actual word. "I just… it's complicated." Kurt's heart stopped as he could still hear Blaine's voice drifting over from the reception.

But I'll never stop dreaming of you every night of my life, no way

"Well maybe you need to figure it out." Adam seemed angry now and he turned to walk away.

Kurt put a firm hand on Adam's arm. "No. Don't go. There's nothing to figure out. I'm with you now. That's it. Just please…"

"Just tell me you don't still have feelings for him."

Kurt froze. He slowly removed his hand from Adam's arm and let it fall limply at his side. He swallowed the lump building in his throat before turning fully towards Adam. He spoke reluctantly. "Honestly, I'd be lying if I told you I didn't love Blaine because I still do. We've been through so much together, and I can't just forget that." He clasped one of Adam's hands between both of his. "But I want things to work out with you. I'm trying."

As Adam pondered Kurt's words, Blaine could be heard finishing his song to the sound of polite applause.

Anything for love

Oh, I would do anything for love

I would do anything for love, but I won't do that

No, I won't do that

Adam sighed and covered his face with his hands briefly before removing them to reveal Kurt concentrating on him. "Kurt, I care about you a lot, and I really want this to work with you too, but whether you need to convince him or convince yourself, there's still feelings you guys have to straighten out." Kurt looked hurt and pleaded with Adam to stay. "I just, think I need to go back to New York and give you some space while you figure things out. I'll be ready to talk when you get back." Without another word, he headed towards his car.

Devastated, Kurt watched as Adam pulled out of the parking lot and drove away. Kurt stood with his mouth open, aghast at what had just happened. Adam had actually left and abandoned Kurt here in Ohio. Kurt couldn't prevent a few hot tears from slowly rolling down his cheeks.

The sound of a throat clearing behind Kurt caused him to spin around. Blaine was standing before him, eyeing the ground and digging his toes into the concrete. He remained silent, so Kurt was the first to open his mouth and speak. "What the hell was that?"

When Blaine didn't respond, but remained fascinated with his feet, Kurt continued angrily. "What made you think that was a good idea?"

Blaine finally looked up, fixing his eyes directly on Kurt's. "You know me. Whenever I have to tell somebody something, it works better if I just sing it."

"Yeah, well, Adam left." Kurt's irritation was evident and caused Blaine to take a step back. "He went back to New York without me because he thinks there's still some unresolved feelings between us."

Blaine dismissed his conjecture about Adam not knowing about their relationship because apparently Adam was aware of Kurt and Blaine's history to some extent. "Is he wrong?" Blaine asked shyly, avoiding Kurt's gaze.

"No," Kurt blurted out. When he realized what he said, he covered his mouth in horror, and immediately turned away from Blaine.

After a brief pause, Blaine said, "Come with me. I'll drive you to your house. I'm sure you dad would love to see you."

Kurt looked up at Blaine in utter shock, hesitant at first, but then nodding and following Blaine to his car. Once they were both seated, Blaine didn't start the ignition. Instead, they both sat in silence, listening to the sound of their own breathing. Blaine's was slow and heavy while Kurt's was short and rapid. Neither of them knew what to say; they just knew they had to talk.

Blaine jumped a little when Kurt finally broke the silence. "Do you want to know the real reason why I brought Adam today?" Blaine was surprised by that opener and silently waited for Kurt to clarify. "I mean, he is my boyfriend and everything, and I guess you take your boyfriend to stuff like this, but that wasn't the number one reason why I invited him."

Blaine was incredibly eager to hear the rest of what Kurt had to say but was too nervous to move his gaze anywhere but the steering wheel. He gripped his thighs tightly and attempted to quiet his breathing

Kurt, on the other hand, inhaled loudly. His vision was focused on anywhere but Blaine as he chose his words carefully. "I-I brought Adam because I wanted to prove to myself that I would really be okay without you." Kurt squeezed his eyes shut, anticipating Blaine's reaction, but the car remained silent. Kurt finally forced himself to look at Blaine before speaking again. "I know that we've been apart for a long time; I haven't even seen you since I met Adam. I just-I never know what I'm going to do when I'm around you. I wanted to see if I could handle seeing you while I was with someone else, and if you could handle seeing me with someone else. It's just, every time I look at you, all these memories and feelings come rushing back, and I remember how we once were and..."

"And what?" Blaine prompted.

"And I have to remind myself why we aren't together anymore." Blaine really wanted to punch himself every time Kurt brought that up.

"Kurt I've told you, I…"

I know. You're sorry," Kurt interrupted. "I get it. You're still in love with me, and I-I do love you because I don't think there's a way to every stop loving you." Blaine's heart skipped a beat. "But I'm with Adam now. I mean, unless I've already lost my shot with him."

Despite Blaine's heart trying to beat its way out of his chest, he still managed to say, "Well, I'm sure you have nothing to worry about." He hated saying this, but he didn't want to keep defending himself if Kurt wasn't interested. "I'm sure he'll be waiting for you when you get home so the two of you can have glorious make up sex."

Kurt's cheeks turned bright red, and he mumbled incoherently for a few seconds before saying, "We, uh, we actually haven't done…that, yet."

Blaine raised his eyebrows in surprise. "Oh, I'm, um, I'm sorry. I guess I just figured…"

After taking a deep breath, Kurt shrugged and looked at Blaine before quickly saying, "I mean, it's not that we don't want to or anything. Adam did get a hotel room for the two of us for after the reception, but I don't think anything was going to actually happen. I like Adam and we have a lot of fun together, but you know how important sex is to me. It has to be special and mean something in the long run, and…" He paused, and Blaine thought that he wasn't going to finish what he was saying. Eventually he added, "And I don't know if I can see anything happening with Adam and me long term."

Blaine was shocked by Kurt's confession, but secretly took solace in it. "Why?"

Kurt suddenly became coy. "Well, because he's not…" Kurt stopped there and turned to look at Blaine. Blaine swore that Kurt's eyes flicked to his lips as he leaned a fraction of an inch closer. Blaine didn't need to ask Kurt to clarify; he knew what Kurt meant.

They both stared at each other for a moment, taking in every feature, every detail that they knew so well, before Kurt closed the gap between them. His eyes fluttered closed as he pressed his lips softly to Blaine's. It was tentative and slow. They refrained from opening their mouths, and there was little lip movement. Kurt pulled away after only and few seconds and opened his eyes to study Blaine's expression.

Kurt's gaze lingered on Blaine for only a few seconds before he was lunging towards him to capture his lips in a more passionate kiss. Blaine held a hand up to Kurt's chest, pushing him away. "Wait, Kurt. What's going on?"

Kurt's hands were cupping Blaine's cheeks. "I don't know. I just need you right now.

Before Kurt could pull him back for another kiss, Blaine asked, "What about Adam?"

Blaine's questioned lingered in the air while they both pondered the potential consequences of what might happen. Kurt's thumbs traced circles around Blaine's cheeks. "I'm so confused right now. I don't know what's happening. I'm just trying to figure things out. I need to know." Blaine knew what he was doing was probably wrong, but he didn't have the willpower to reject Kurt as he leaned back towards him and their lips met once more.

The kiss slowly grew from unsure to desperate as Kurt and Blaine once again familiarized themselves with each other. Their hands traced paths down cheeks, arms, backs, and chests as they attempted to feel every inch of each other. When Kurt finally pulled away, the expression in his eyes was full blown lust. His voice came out breathy. "I need more. I want more."

Not thinking twice about it, Blaine immediately moved his hands to Kurt's shirt as their lips reconnected. He fiddled with the top button with his shaky hands, making it difficult to undress Kurt. Blaine removed his lips from Kurt but kept their foreheads pressed together. They were both struggling to catch their breaths. "I, uh, the reception has to be coming to an end soon. What if we get caught?"

"Well, Adam and I won't be needing that hotel room anymore." Kurt's voice was raspy from all the kissing, but somehow it still managed to stop Blaine's heart. Blaine noticed that Kurt was serious and immediately felt butterflies flutter in his stomach. He felt just like he did the night after West Side Story when Kurt suggested they go to Blaine's house—the night they first made love. He dried his sweaty palms on his pants and tried to steady his breath, his eyes never leaving Kurt's. He had no idea what to think at this point, but he knew that Kurt wanted to have sex with him right now. He knew he should probably object since they aren't together anymore, but he feared that if he did object, Kurt would return to New York and nothing would change; Kurt would be with Adam and Blaine would be lonely. Therefore, he willingly followed Kurt out of the car all the way to the hotel room.

Once upstairs, they both seemed lost, unsure of where to go from here. Blaine boldly took the first step, advancing towards Kurt slowly and pulling him close, their eyes remaining locked. He pressed his lips full against Kurt's, suddenly thankful that he still had his stash of necessary protection stashed in the glove compartment of his car. Just like the first time, they take it slow, peeling off each layer of clothing one by one in between soft kisses.

The rest is familiar territory; they fall back into their old routine. Blaine completely falls apart under the recognizable pleasure of having Kurt inside of him. He smiles at every moan Kurt utters, and ejects a small "Kurt" as Kurt becomes more desperate, moving faster. He'll also never be able to get over Kurt's face when he comes; it's the most beautiful and sexy thing Blaine has ever witnessed in his life. Blaine's orgasm hits him suddenly, and it is the best orgasm he has ever experienced. Him and Kurt fall together, and lay tangled up in a state of pure ecstasy.

They laid together comfortably and blissfully for a while before Blaine decided he needed to take a shower. "Care to join me?" he asked with a coquettish smile aimed at Kurt.

Kurt turned away and replied, "No. I'll wait here."

Blaine was a little disappointed, but he didn't even care. Kurt just needed time to process this but once he did, there was no doubt in Blaine's mind that they would get back together. The devastation on Blaine's face was evident when he returned from his shower, dressed in only a towel, to see Kurt buttoning up his shirt.

"Hey, you don't have to get dressed yet." Blaine was surprised to see tears in Kurt's eyes. "Kurt, what's wrong."

"I'm sorry, Blaine. I'm so sorry."

Blaine walked over to Kurt and sat next to him on the bed, putting a comforting arm around his shoulders. Blaine's heart broke when Kurt winced at the touch and stood up. "Did I do something wrong?"

Kurt made to dry his eyes before he spoke. "No. You did everything right. It was me. This was a mistake."

"No, Kurt. Don't you dare begin think that. This was supposed to happen. We're meant to be together. I've always seen it. I know you see it now."

"But I'm with Adam." Those words struck Blaine like a knife to the chest. Kurt continued tearfully. "Don't you get it? I just did to Adam the very thing that you did to make me break up with you."

"Then why did you do it?" Blaine's eyes were welling up with tears now.

"I don't know." Kurt was barely audible. "I was feeling scared and confused, and I got caught up it the moment."

"Don't you dare blame this as getting caught up in the moment." Blaine's voice was rising as tears were streaming down his face. "You did this because you wanted to, so there is no way you can call this a mistake."

"You're right." Kurt's voice was calm. "I wanted to have sex with you because I needed to know what this was. I needed to know if I was making a mistake in trying to make things work with Adam."

"And?" Blaine encouraged Kurt to continue.

Kurt paused for a long time, avoiding eye contact with Blaine. "I can't just get back together with you knowing I hurt Adam. It just wouldn't be right."

"But you don't want to be with Adam?"

"I really wanted things to work between us. He was exactly what I needed, and I think he still is." Kurt shut his eyes, forcing himself to say what had to be said. "I don't think we can get back together."

Blaine's expression fell, and when he spoke, his voice came out in barely a whisper. "You don't mean that."

"I do. I love you, Blaine, and this is really hard for me, but I do mean it. We can't go back into this long distance relationship that didn't work the first time. I need some stability in my life, and I think I have that with Adam. And I'm sorry, but this is what I need to do. For me." Kurt didn't give Blaine a chance to speak—he didn't know if he'd be able to walk away if he did—before turning to leave. Blaine remained immobile, staring at the doorway, thinking he may have really just lost the love of his life forever.

End Note: Ahhh! I know that it seems Kurt is using both Blaine and Adam, which is why this was difficult for me to write. He scared and conflicted over his feelings for Blaine, so being a naive teenager, he acts on those feelings without thinking. Everything is so comfortable with Blaine, his first love. He's also confused because he believes that Adam is the one he needs in his life, even if he still does have feelings for Blaine. Part 3 is where Kurt lays all his feelings on the line, and everything is going to get wrapped up.
