Summary: Freshman year of college in New York. It's supposed to be magical, this amazing experience. Right? When things fall apart, Kurt isn't so sure anymore.
A/N: So I got the idea for this story a few weeks ago and just now got the chance to actually write it. Let me know what you think so far! Things will be explained so much more later on as the story keeps going. :) Title from the album by Muse.

"Alright, I should get going. Still have some homework due tomorrow that I need to finish."

Kurt watched as Blaine sighed, nodding shortly. "Right. Well you'll be on again tomorrow, yeah? We can talk then?" he asked, and Kurt had to stop himself from rolling his eyes in annoyance.

Ever since he'd left for New York nearly give months ago, it was getting that much more difficult to keep up with his and Blaine's crumbling relationship. With as much as he loved Blaine, it was becoming increasingly irritating to deal with how needy he was getting. Kurt loved him, of course he did, but it was hard to remember that sometimes with how Blaine was acting.

"Yeah. We'll talk tomorrow." Just smile and nod.

"Alright well I – I love you."

"I love you, too," he replied instantly with a tight smile before closing the video call window and exiting the messenger.

"Another date call with the boyfriend?"

Kurt spun around in his chair, watching as Ian strode into the room, rolling his eyes in amusement. "You know, we've been rooming together for almost half the year now, I'm pretty sure you can remember to call him by his name."

Ian exaggerated a sigh. "Fine. Blaine, then." He lay down on his bed, taking out his phone and checking for messages from what Kurt could only assume was yet another girl whose ridiculously tight pants Ian was trying to get into. "How're things going with you two anyway?"

Kurt fixed him with a stare. "Ian. Do you really want to hear about my boyfriend troubles?"

"What, a guy can't ask another guy about his love life? I mean, I'm not homophobic or whatever, you know that." Kurt nodded. He'd give him that; Ian definitely wasn't homophobic by any means. The one random guy from their freshman English lecture class that Ian had brought back to the dorm last month had pretty much proved that. Ian claimed the next day, once he was fully sober again, that Jake had been a "drunken experiment," nothing more. Kurt still wasn't sure that was all it really was, but nodded along with a smile nevertheless every time it was brought up since then. It was probably better to let Ian figure it out for himself anyway and not interfere.

"Yes. I know that," Kurt replied, "but even still… Look, do you really want to hear about what's going on with us?"

"Well like what?"

Kurt groaned. "Like how much he's been bugging me lately."

Ian glanced over at him in confusion. "He's bugging you?"

Kurt sighed, nodding, and pulled out his phone to open and his and Blaine's text conversation before handing it over. "Here," he said simply. "Read."

Ian scanned the conversation, expression growing in surprise and slight concern the more he read. "Uh…"

"Exactly," replied Kurt, taking his phone back and pocketing it.

"What, does he think you're gonna cheat on him or something?"

Kurt scoffed. "Honestly? I wouldn't doubt it." He shook his head. "I mean, just last year he accused me of cheating when all I was doing was talking to this guy so he automatically assumed. He claimed he was only paranoid because I was going to New York but I don't really think that was all it was. Mostly I think he just has trust issues."

"Dude, wait he – he accused you of cheating and you're still with him?"

"Well… yes but-"

"Why?"

"I love him, okay? It's not that simple, I can't just – I'm not just going to-" he stopped, taking a deep breath and exhaling slowly. "You know what? Nevermind. I have homework that I have to finish still." Kurt groaned, swiveling around his desk chair and turning his attention back to his laptop.

"All I'm saying is that if it were me, I probably wouldn't have stayed with him after that."

Kurt sighed heavily, typing into the Google search bar as a distraction. "You know, if you ever fall in love and they think you're cheating on them, then you can tell me whether or not you'd stay with them."

It was silent for a moment before Kurt heard Ian speak again; he'd thought the conversation was finished, but apparently not. "I've been in love before, dude. And for as much as I loved her, if that had happened to me… no way. No matter how much you love somebody, trust is pretty fucking crucial, man."

Kurt resisted the nagging urge to look back at him and instead stared at the screen, trying to remember what he was searching for in the first place.
