For the next couple of days, Malik persistently tried to get a hold of Blaine. He called Blaine's cell several times, getting his number from Tina and leaving several text and voice messages. Blaine did not bother to read the text or listen to the voicemail. He simply deleted each one of them and never sent a response. That afternoon, Blaine went down to the Lima Bean to meet up with Kurt. Even while he was there, his phone kept buzzing with calls and text from Malik. Kurt was already pissed with Blaine for the way he had being acting lately, and the last thing Blaine wanted to do was make things worse by telling him about that kiss. But if Malik continued pestering Blaine like this, that would be impossible. So Blaine took his phone and turned it off.
It was almost time for Kurt's shift to end. Blaine was sitting down in their favorite spot at the Lima Bean, waiting for Kurt to join him. As Kurt came from around the counter and looked over at Blaine, he saw a change in his demeanor. Blaine seemed uneasy in his chair, rubbing his hand together, scratching his head, and dancing his eyes all over the place. Kurt approached the table slowly, "Are you okay?" he asked, "You seem a little distracted."
Blaine eyes looked up at Kurt, attempting desperately to retain all manner of composure. "Uh, I'm fine, sweetheart," he said. Then like lightning out of the sky, Blaine shot up out of the chair grabbed Kurt for a hug and kissed him heavily on the lips.
Kurt pulled away completely taken by surprise. "Wow!" he said, "What's gotten into you?"
"Nothing I just miss you." Blaine said, knowing in the back of his mind of what he needed to say to Kurt. "Sit down. Tell me how your day went."
Kurt thought to himself for a moment, before he said a word to Blaine. This was a strange sudden shift in Blaine attitude. Over the past several weeks, they've done nothing but argue about Blaine feeling that he wasn't getting enough attention in their relationship. Now, all of a sudden, Blaine wants to talk about how his day went. Kurt locked his eyes on Blaine. Maybe he had a talk with Artie, and Artie managed to get through to him about some things. Nonetheless, Kurt paid special attention to Blaine. "It was the ordinary," Kurt said.
"Well just think about it, one day, you won't even have to think about this place anymore and it'll be a distant memory." Blaine chuckled uncomfortably while looking into Kurt's eye. In his peripheral, he noticed Malik walking into the Lima Bean, looking right at him and smiling. Blaine became so uncomfortable, Kurt could see it. His bodily movement became so tense and his words jumbled together. "Uh, Kurt—could you excuse me for—could you—I'll be right back."
"Okay," Kurt said, as he watched Blaine leave the table and run over to the entrance. He watched Blaine as he walked up to a boy, who looked like he was from McKinley.
Blaine walked right up to Malik, seeing that happy grin on his face. "Hey, Malik, can I talk to you for a second?"
"Blaine, it is so good to see you and Kurt together," Malik said, enthusiastically.
"Why?—Wait, listen to me." Blaine said, getting very stern with Malik, "I don't know what you're doing here, but you need to leave."
Malik felt a bit hurt. Here he was trying to tell Blaine how amazing he thought it was that Kurt and Blaine were rekindling their relationship, but now it felt like Blaine was angry with him for some reason. "Blaine, I'm sorry if I caused any problems between you guys," he said, wondering if the kiss between he and Blaine might be the reason for his anger.
At that time, Kurt was watching Malik face change from a smile to devastation and could sense that something was going on. He stood up from the table and went to see what the problem was. He hoped that Blaine wasn't taking the frustrations of their relationship out on him. Malik seemed like such a nice kid to Kurt. But something that was said broke Kurt's heart into pieces, when he heard Blaine say, "That kiss between you and me meant nothing, do you understand? Now I need you to go."
Malik tried to make Blaine understand. He looked at Blaine on the verge of tears. He wasn't there to sabotage their relationship, he was to help it. But he couldn't stand Blaine being angry at him for something he hated himself for doing. "Look, I know you're upset. But I just wanted to talk to you and tell you that…"
"I don't care, Malik," Blaine said. "I kissed you okay, now get over it." Just as Blaine turned around, he saw Kurt standing behind with tears rolling down his beautiful face. "Kurt," he said.
But Kurt didn't respond. He went to the table, grabbed his jacket and cell phone, and stormed out of the Lima Bean, passing both Blaine and Malik.
"Kurt, stop please," Blaine said, as Kurt passed by. "I can explain. Just wait!" But it was too late. By then, Kurt was already out the door. In that moment, Blaine felt his heart shatter like a mirror. Tears came to his eye from the sorrow of his ruined relationship, but they then looked up at Malik in anger. "I don't ever want to see you again," he said, leaving the Lima Bean in tears and frustration.
Malik watched Blaine leave, standing there alone by the door. Damian was right. Malik should have kept his nose out of it. Not only were his plans of bringing back together foiled, but he accomplished the opposite of what he set out to do. Now, Kurt may never speak to Blaine again. And it was all his fault.
