A/N: So I think this is definitely the final part. Unless someone leaves me an awesome prompt. Angsty again, but it get's happier!
Thanks once again to my awesome beta Shauna (JustShauna) who puts up with my lack of grammar. I don't know how she does it!
Anyway, enjoy!
…
Kurt was sitting in the Lima Bean on Sunday afternoon waiting for Blaine. He ordered them their coffees, two medium drips, and he even got a biscotti for Blaine. He knew the two of them had to talk about what had been going on. Kurt honestly didn't know that much about what had been happening beyond the fact they had hardly seen each other. Little did he know, there was a lot more to it than that.
Blaine walked in and looked around for Kurt. He saw him sitting in their usual seats, two coffees in front of him. Kurt stood up when Blaine walked over, as if he was looking for a kiss, but Blaine just sat down pretending not to notice. Kurt looked at him, partially confused, partially heart broken and sat back down, ignoring what had just happened.
"How have you been?" Kurt asked after an awkward moments silence.
Blaine took a sip of his coffee and placed it back on the table. He looked up at his boyfriend.
"Fine. You?"
Kurt looked at Blaine, really looked at him. There was clear evidence that Blaine had been crying, which would explain his unusual tardiness. His short, snappy answer also worried him. There was definitely something going on that Kurt didn't understand.
"Blaine, sweetheart, what's the matter?"
Kurt reached out to grab Blaine's hand, but Blaine flinched away. He placed his hands under the table, not wanting any physical contact with Kurt.
"You're honestly asking that question?" Blaine looked Kurt straight in the eyes. Filled with a rage now, he was ready to explode.
Kurt looked at him completely shocked, he didn't know what to think.
"What do you mean?"
"I haven't seen you in over a week. I can't remember the last time we spent any time together just the two of us and all you seem to care about now is Nationals and D—"
Blaine stopped himself before he could say something he might regret.
"And what, Blaine?"
"You know what, if you're going to break up with me just do it already."
Kurt's jaw dropped. Was that honestly why Blaine thought they were here today?
"It's obvious you don't want to spend time with me any more." Blaine's voice softened almost to a whisper. He had admitted what he was most afraid of and now he didn't know what would happen.
Kurt couldn't manage to form a response. All this pent up rage came as such a surprise to him that he didn't know what to think or say. He was left sitting there, mouth gaping, while Blaine looked at him with pleading eyes.
That was all the response Blaine needed. He stood up from his chair and stormed off.
"No! Blaine, wait!" Kurt called after him, but Blaine didn't hear him.
Blaine tried and failed to hold back the tears as he walked out of the Lima Bean. As he was walking over to his car, he managed to walk right into someone. He was about to apologise when he realised who it was. Dave Karofsky. He looked up at the taller man, rage and pain filling his eyes.
"Blaine, man, what's wrong?"
"Here to see Kurt are you?" Blaine practically spat out.
"What? No, I was on my way home and decided to stop by for a coffee."
Dave was so confused. Clearly something had happened to Blaine and from what he could gather Kurt was inside. Maybe they'd had a big fight?
"Jeez, can't even wait for me to get in my car before you make a move on my boyfriend."
"What—"
"Fuck you, Karofsky. I wanted to help you and you threw it back in my face. Well I hope you and Kurt are happy together."
Blaine ran off before Dave could respond. He got into his car and started the engine. For the second time in a week he drove back to Dalton, crying the whole way home.
Monday in Dalton seemed to drag for Blaine. He couldn't focus in any of his classes because of what had happened the day before. He just wanted to curl up in bed and cuddle with Kurt – except he couldn't do that now. Every time he thought about the coffee shop he wanted to cry. Kurt hadn't stopped ringing or texting him, but Blaine hadn't responded at all.
After classes were over, he headed straight back for his room. On his way, Wes found him.
"Leave me alone, Wes."
"Blaine, please. Just come with me and I promise to leave you alone after."
Blaine reluctantly followed him to the senior commons. All Blaine could think about was that this was the first place that he had performed in front of Kurt.
They opened the doors and there he was. Kurt was standing there in the middle of the room, by himself. Blaine didn't know if he wanted to run over and kiss him, or run out of the room all together.
Wes pushed Blaine into the room and locked the doors from the outside.
"Hi" Kurt said tentatively.
"Hi" Blaine replied in the same tone.
The two looked at each other. Blaine's eyes were still filled with so much pain. Kurt knew he had to set this right and now.
"Look, Dave told me what you said to him."
Blaine's face was a mixture of embarrassment and shame. He regretted what he had said yesterday, but he had been so upset that he couldn't control himself.
"How could you think that, Blaine?" Kurt sounded hurt, hurt that his boyfriend could think such a thing about him. He'd never do anything to harm Blaine.
"It's just…" Blaine sighed, unsure where to begin. "You've been spending so much more time with him, I never get to see you anymore. And you've started to call him Dave. There was something so intimate about that, it scared me. And on Wednesday, I went to pick you up after you cancelled our date. I waited outside for you for half an hour and you came out with him. He even gave you a lift home. You were laughing and joking and it hurt me."
Blaine looked at Kurt and could see tears forming in his eyes. He should have known Kurt would never cheat on him, but he loved him so much he was so afraid to lose him.
"Kurt, my biggest fear is losing you. All that became a reality when I saw the two of you together. I was convinced you wanted to be with him, that you were going to leave me here. I—I just want to be with you Kurt."
Blaine broke down after that, sobbing uncontrollably. This was really it. Kurt would realise how crazy Blaine was and he would leave him for Dave.
"I love you, Blaine."
Blaine's head snapped up. They'd never said that aloud before. He looked up at Kurt who was smiling at him, tears rolling down his cheeks.
"I love you too, Kurt. So much."
Then, they forgot about all the pain and ran into each others arms. Blaine breathed in the scent of Kurt, God he had missed it so much. Kurt buried his face in Blaine's neck, holding on to him for dear life, never wanting to let go. The pulled back slightly and Blaine leaned up and captured Kurt's lips with his own. The kiss didn't last too long, but it was all they needed.
Kurt pulled back completely. He walked over to the CD player perched on one of the couches.
"I want to show you how much you mean to me and even if you didn't think it before, I will always choose you."
Kurt hit play and the catchy guitar started.
"From the first time I saw you,
I knew that I fell.
Looking back, maybe you did too.
You captured me up in your spell.
You made me yours."
Kurt walked over to Blaine and grabbed his hand. He looked him straight in the eyes, hoping that Blaine was listening to every word.
"I choose you,
No one else will do.
And in all honesty,
Who else would have me.
I wrote this song,
To show you all along,
No matter what I say or do,
I choose you."
Blaine looked moved. He honestly couldn't believe that he'd thought Kurt would want to be with anyone else. This performance showed him where Kurt's heart truly lay.
"I know I screwed up, I should have called,
I made a mess, I can't deny.
Then you saw us and picked it up wrong,
But please, just look into my eyes.
You'll see, I choose you,
No one else will do.
And in all honesty,
Who else would have me.
I wrote this song,
To show you all along,
No matter what I say or do,
I choose you."
The two of them were dancing around to the catchy tune, smiling at each other. They were back to the old Kurt and Blaine, before any of the drama. In this performance, they had both forgiven each other for what had happened over the last couple of weeks. Kurt sang straight at Blaine, letting him know that understood why Blaine had been so worried, but that he never had to. Blaine could see the promise in his eyes that told him he was never going to leave.
"So here we are standing at the altar,
So many years have gone by.
Times may have changed, but I feel the same,
Just know that I've loved you
from the start.
And yes it's been tough,
But we've never given up,
It's all been worth it in the end.
When I see you standing there,
Suited, curly hair,
Husband, lover, friend."
An image flashed in Blaine's mind; The two of them on their wedding day, surrounded by their friends and family. Kurt and Blaine standing at the alter exchanging their vows, looking so happy. It felt so real that it gave Blaine goosebumps. At that moment, he knew they were going to be alright.
"I choose you,
No one else will do.
And in all honesty,
Who else would have me.
I wrote this song,
To show you all along,
No matter what I say or do,
I will always choose you."
As the song faded away, the two of them stood there, holding hands and staring intently into each other's eyes. It felt right. Everything was back to normal and all was well between them. Blaine broke the silence, and whispered softly.
"I love you."
…
A/N: Me again! Just wanted to say, the second song is one me and my friend made together, it's called 'I Choose You' and it's actually a Rane song, based on CP Coulter's characters.
