Chapter 10 - One, Two, Three Boys

A/N: So sorry about the wait on this one, guys! Exams finished last week and I've been crazy busy since then. I literally spent all Tuesday writing this and part of the next chapter. I have a feeling that there will be between 3-4 more chapters until it's over. I can't decide whether or not I want to do a sequel for this or not; It'll all depend on what you guys want.

If there is a sequel it will start being posted asap as to finish before school starts in the fall.

From: Kurt (2:01pm)

I think it's time we talk.

Blaine rereads the text as he walks up the front stoop of the Hummel household. He heaves a great sigh and pushes the doorbell.

The sound of the doorbell echoes through the Hummel house. Kurt sighs, dreading the conversation that's to come. He opens the door slowly to reveal a very put together Blaine. Kurt steps aside to allow the shorter boy to enter. Kurt wonders briefly how Blaine can wear a sweater vest and loafers in this extreme heat, but his thoughts vanish quickly when Blaine speaks,

"So, uhh, how are you?" Blaine asks. Kurt can sense the underlying question, How are you and Sebatian? Kurt chooses to be ignorant to this,

"Fine, I guess. The weather's a bitch." Kurt leaves out the fact that he's worried about Sebastian; best to save that for the real talk. "Let's sit down. Do you want anything?" Kurt asks, sitting down at the kitchen table.

"No thanks; I stopped at the Lima Bean on my way." There was an awkward silence until both boys spoke at once,

"Do you want to start or–"

"I'll start if yo–"

Kurt sighs in relief, "Yes, you can start."

Blaine takes a deep breath before beginning, "So I know that I kind of broke up with you at the start of the summer because you're going to NYADA next year and it would be hard to do the long distance thing, but Kurt, I can't live without you. Literally can't do anything without thinking about us. I'm asking for forgiveness and a second chance. I lo–"

"No. You aren't allowed to say that to me anymore, Blaine." Kurt looks at the boy across from him. He watches the other boy fidget as Kurt thinks. He thinks about what it would mean to take Blaine back. To go back to how it all was before. It would be nice, simple. In the fall they would make the long distance thing work. As Kurt thinks this, a well known blonde boy appears in his head. A blonde haired, green eyed boy who is probably sitting at home with his family right now, mourning the lose of a loved one. A blonde who Kurt has slowly begun to imagine a future with. Kurt looks at Blaine again, he can't take the dark haired boy back just because it's easy; that's not moving forward, that's staying in this perpetual rut that Kurt can't seem to escape from.

"Blaine..." Just then, Kurt's phone begins to buzz on the table beside him. Sebastian the ID reads. Kurt picks up the phone without a second thought.

"Are you okay?" He says in greeting.

"Can I come over? Today's not a g-good day." Kurt hears Sebastian sniffle slightly on the other end.

Kurt sends a quick glance at Blaine, who is watching him cautiously. "Of course you can. Uh, Blaine's here though."

"That's fine. I'll be there soon, I'm at the Lima Bean. Kurt, I just..."

"I know. I'll be here." and Kurt hangs up.

He stares down at his phone until Blaine speaks up, "Umm?"

Kurt is jolted back to reality, "Blaine, I can't-I can't give you a second chance, not when there's someone else who needs me more right now."

"But–"

"Let me finish. You broke up with me and I have spent the last few weeks trying to get over that. And as weird as it is to say, I've found someone who I can see myself with. We need each other. You and I, we don't need each other anymore, Blaine, you just have to realize that in your own time. I'm sorry, Blaine."

Just then, the doorbell rings for the second time today. Kurt flies to the door and throws it open. Standing on the stoop is a disheveled, teary eyed Sebastian. The boy steps into the house and falls into Kurt's arms. The brunette shushes the blonde as he begins to shake silently.

"Go on up to my room," Kurt says, pulling back to look at Sebastian, "I'll be up in a few minutes, okay?"

Sebastian nods and squeezes Kurt's hand. Kurt presses a quick kiss to his lips before Sebastian wanders up the stairs to Kurt's room. Kurt looks after him until a throat is cleared behind him. "So I guess this is it then?"

Kurt looks towards Blaine, "I guess so; we had a good run though."

Blaine smiles and looks curiously into Kurt's deep blue eyes. "We sure did. Bye, Kurt, good luck with everything." The shorter boys throws a look up the stairs as he says the last part.

Kurt steps closer and pulls Blaine into a hug, "Thank you. You too."

They break apart and Kurt opens the door for Blaine. They smile one final time at each other before Blaine is stepping out into the blistering heat and Kurt is closing the door on him; on his past. Kurt takes a deep breath and begins to climb the stairs to the boy above; to his future.

A/N: I hope you liked it! I have a feeling that all of these chapters until the end will be short. I have chosen to end this soon because taking a month off has caused me to lose the story. Anyway, next update should be soon, let me know if I should do a sequel or not.

Thanks for reading!
