Ok so I actually thought I'd already written and posted this chapter, but it turns out I was only halfway through it. Anyway, sorry again for the delay. I promise to be a lot quicker in the future. Gunna try and finish this in the next few weeks. I love reading your reviews, they mean a lot to me so thanks guys.

Blaine stalked towards the bathroom, hot tears threatening to escape from his eyes. Fucking Thomas. Not only did Kurt obviously hang on every word he said, but Thomas was clearly gay, and fully aware of the effect he had on Kurt. Why else would he be so passive aggressive towards Blaine?

Blaine sighed as he leant against the basin and stared at himself in the mirror. He was not prepared for this. He had never even considered the possibility that other guys might be interested in Kurt. Mainly because Kurt had never mentioned dating anybody to him. But Blaine realised that just because Kurt hadn't told him, it didn't mean it wasn't happening.

Shit.

How could he have been so stupid? Of course other men would want Kurt. I mean, look at him. He's a hot gay man in his early twenties who runs his own successful fashion boutique in New York City. He was a fucking catch.

Blaine took deep, shaking breaths as he tried to process his thoughts. Tears began to stream down his face. He had to pull himself together if he was going to fight for Kurt. He quickly wiped his tears away with his shirt sleeve and took a deep breath. Once he'd composed himself with positive thoughts, such as the fact that they'd be leaving soon and he'd be alone with Kurt again. After another deep breath and last look in the mirror, Blaine left the bathroom and headed back to table, where Kurt and Thomas continued to laugh over some private joke. Blaine tried his best to keep the scowl from his face. As he sat back down Thomas didn't acknowledge him at all, the same way he hadn't when Blaine had stood up. Kurt met Blaines gaze. He looked concerned, as if he knew Blaine was upset. Blaine quickly looked away, worried Kurt might see the telltale redness around his eyes. Thomas had apparently finished his monologue and paused to take a drink of his coffee. Kurt took this as an opportunity to speak.

"Well we really should be heading off. I want to show Blaine around the city somemore". He smiled over at Blaine who beamed back at him. Suck on that Thomas.

"I'm just going to use the restroom before we go", Kurt said, and rose up from is chair.

There were a few moments of awkward silence before Thomas eventually spoke. "So is this just a flying visit then?, the annoyance was obvious in his voice.

"No, well I hope not anyway. I plan to find a job and move here permanently" Blaine replied. He was determined to be civil with this man. Even if he did want to smack him in the face.

"I see" Thomas replied. There was a pregnant pause and Blaine knew the other man had something else to say.

"I hope you're not going to make thinks difficult for Kurt and I", Thomas snapped. Blaine was stunned.

"Are you threatening me?" Blaine said, "Because I don't think Kurt would be as fond of you if he found out you were threatening his best friend", he continued calmly. He wasn't going to take the bait and loose his temper.

"Don't play games with me pretty boy. Me and Kurt were doing great. The last thing I needed was you showing up and turning his head!" Thomas snarled. Ok, so Blaine had had enough of playing it cool. Just who the fuck did this guy think he was.

"I'm sorry, but I wasn't aware there was a "you and Kurt". If you want him so much why haven't you made a move already? You're not exactly shy", Blaine replied frostily.

To Blaines surprise, Thomas sighed and dropped his shoulders, all the aggressive energy draining out of him. He spoke quietly.

"I have. I've asked him out plenty of times. I even kissed him once. But then afterwards he kinda freaked out, said he wasn't ready to move on yet. He never said what from. But over time, I began to realise. He meant you. He's not ready to move on from you", Thomas finished, resigned. Blaine stared at him in disbelief. Thomas continued. "Listen Blaine, I'm sorry if I've acted like a dick in the very brief time we've known each other. I know from the way Kurt talks about you that you're not a bad guy. It's just, I kinda hate you", he finished with a small smile.

Blaine had to laugh at that. Thomas looked relived that Blaine could see the funny side. Thomas stood up and held out his hand. Blaine took it and they shook.

"I hope you and Kurt can work things out. I'm going home tomorrow for a couple of months so you don't have to worry about me hanging around. If you want to be with him, he'd be yours in a heartbeat. But please, think it through first, be sure. Because if you hurt him, I'll kick your arse", Thomas looked serious, and then turned and walked towards a door marked "Private".

Blaine slumped back in his chair, taking deep, calming breaths for the second time in an hour. After a few more minutes Kurt wandered back over to the table. Blaine had managed to compose himself and stood up as he approached. Kurt smiled and looked around for Thomas. Blaine spoke before Kurt could articulate his thoughts.

"He had to rush off. He said to tell you he's taking a trip home soon, but he'll be back in a few months, and he says bye", Blaine rambled.

Kurts face clouded with confusion, but it quickly cleared. He smiled again. "Ok, well in that case, let's go and explore you're new home city. Follow me Mr Anderson", he announced.

"Lead the way Mr Hummel", Blaine grinned.
