Kurt let Blaine and Rachel compose themselves before reappearing, pretending he hadn't just witnessed his boyfriend and supposed best friend making out. He suggested the three of them have lunch before Blaine headed back to work, and the two agreed quickly.

He laughed at Blaine's work stories, listened while Rachel prattled on about how she was already getting a list of song suggestions for once school started back up, offered his own amusing anecdote about Finn's fight with a bag of Frito's a few days prior, but mostly watched the two interacting. He was slowly piecing things together, things he had overlooked before. Blaine's random disappearances, Rachel's lack of discussing Jesse at every available point in time.

"So, Rachel and I were discussing something important in the car," Kurt spoke up after a moment of silence fell upon the table. He knew what he was doing was probably cruel, but it wasn't like they weren't being just as cruel.

Rachel gave an uneasy laugh, looking uncomfortable once more. "We shouldn't talk about that right now Kurt," she suggested, taking a sip of her drink.

"Well, you asked me, why can't you ask Blaine? Maybe he has some good advice for you," Kurt asked innocently. Blaine looked between the two, a confused look over his face.

"I just don't think Blaine cares enough about anything like that," she tried again, and Kurt noticed Blaine holding back an of course I do like he would have for anyone else. It confirmed his suspicion on why exactly Rachel had asked his opinion in the first place-it wasn't that she didn't know if she should sleep with Jesse or not, it was that she didn't know if she should sleep with Blaine or not.

"Of course he does," Kurt smirked before turning to his boyfriend. "Rachel isn't sure if she's ready to sleep with Jesse yet," he informed Blaine, noting the loss of color from his face. "She thinks she is, and I told her we waited until we were in love and committed to each other fully."

Blaine gulped and nodded, not looking at Rachel. "Yeah, well, that's usually how things should go."

"I think she should go for it honestly," Kurt said, grinning at Rachel. "Jesse is a great match for you after all, and you've been with him for a while that I'm sure you're in love with him."

"I thought you hated Jesse?" Rachel asked quietly. "You always call him 'St. Sucks' instead of his actual name."

"Oh, well, I do," Kurt agreed. "But I can see why you'd be head over heels for him. He's talented and fawns over you, and he's gorgeous, anyone can see that."

"But if Rachel doesn't love him, she shouldn't sleep with him," Blaine countered, glaring at Kurt. Kurt smiled innocently in response, glad he had spent his summer working in theater so he could really brush up on his acting skills. Clearly he was in the big leagues with these two, and he didn't want to be the one to fold first.

"I never said I didn't love him," Rachel mumbled, refusing to look at either of them now. "I just said it was an important decision and I wasn't sure when the right time was."

"Isn't this the guy that threw eggs at you last year?" Blaine argued, and Kurt sat back to watch the fight unfold.

"So? Finn did the same thing to me-he nailed lawn furniture to Kurt's roof and threw pee balloons at him-" Kurt crinkled his nose at the memory, "And yet no one has a problem with him. Everyone forgave him."

"Finn is Kurt's brother now," Blaine pointed out. "There are certain things you forgive family for."

"He's only family because Kurt forced their parents to meet so he could spend more time with Finn," Rachel shot back, and now Kurt was starting to feel a little embarrassed, slightly regretting instigating a fight between the two.

"It was a long time ago, I think we should all just let that go," Kurt interjected, but at this point it was becoming apparent that neither Blaine nor Rachel noticed he was even there.

"Finn's at least apologized for his actions, he apologized to Kurt and to Burt and I'm sure, somewhere in the course of your relationship, he apologized to you."

"Not once did he apologize to me for what I went through before he was forced into Glee. And Jesse came and found me-I didn't run after him. I was fine leaving him behind. He came back for me and apologized sincerely. He came to National's for me. He loves me," she fumed. Kurt could tell the moment when both of them were about to start yelling, and they were nearing that point.

"Blaine, honey, don't you have to go back to work?" He questioned, and Blaine nodded, pointedly glaring at Rachel.

"I'll see you later," he replied, storming off without so much as a hug for either of them. Rachel continued sitting in her chair, arms across her chest as she practically oozed anger.

"Well, that was a productive lunch," Kurt mumbled, hoping that if any good had come out of their fight it resulted in Blaine's return to being 100% his.

Rachel had steamed silently beside him the entire car ride up, despite Kurt putting on the Wicked soundtrack. Her silence wasn't good for his nerves or his brain; it gave him too much time to think. The realization of what had happened, of what he had seen earlier in the afternoon, it all came rushing back to him as he drove.

Rachel, the girl who originally stole Finn from him, was now stealing his actual boyfriend. The boy who had said I love you one afternoon in a coffee shop, without Kurt initiating any talk of feelings. Rachel, the girl who he had spent the past two years learning to like and growing to love as a friend, was stealing away his first real shot at happiness.

The longer he thought about it, the more his desire to shove her out of the moving car grew. But he knew that wouldn't do any good, and he wasn't really upset with her. Yes, he was pissed beyond belief that she would try this again-but really, it was Blaine he was mad at. Blaine had sat there and said he was 100% gay and he clearly wasn't. Unless Rachel was some sort of exception to the rule-in which Kurt just got even more annoyed, because out of all the girls, it had to be Rachel Fucking Berry, his one true competition at anything? It couldn't have been Quinn or Santana, or even Brittany.

It was Rachel.

Rachel would always get what she wanted, that was something Kurt had already accepted a long time ago. But he thought after what seemed like a failed attempt at a relationship, she wouldn't want Blaine anymore. Silly him for thinking Blaine wouldn't want Rachel.

And really, Blaine had Kurt to thank for all of Rachel's improvements. He was slowly helping her weed out the horrible fashion she seemed to think was acceptable, was making her more bearable for other people.

"Thanks for the ride," Rachel said as Kurt stopped at her house. He nodded, not trusting himself not to burst out with a stream of profanities and yelling, driving off before he could sit around and storm into her house to ask her exactly what the fuck was going on.

Kurt slammed the door as he came in, causing Finn to pause his video game and look into the main hallway. "Dude?" he called out, and Kurt stormed into the living room, clearly worked up. "Whoa, what happened man? I thought you were just going to see Blaine with Rachel or something? Did something happen? Did Karofsky come after you, because if he did, I swear I will kill him-"

"It wasn't Karofsky," Kurt steamed, pacing now. Finn watched him uneasily, it wasn't often Kurt got this upset and it was making him nervous.

"What happened then?"

"That stupid whore of an ex-girlfriend of yours-"

"Rachel? Rachel isn't a whore, trust me."

"And that stupid, stupid boyfriend of mine-"

"Rachel and Blaine? What'd they do?" Finn asked, even more confused than before.

"It's not what they did do-or maybe it is, I don't know. All I know is that I left them alone for two minutes-TWO MINUTES FINN!- and I come back to this," he seethed, throwing his phone at Finn. Finn caught it, glancing at the screen quickly before looking back up at Kurt. A second later the picture caught his attention again as his brain caught up with what he saw.

"Wait, is this-"

"Rachel and Blaine kissing?" Kurt screeched. "Yes, yes it is."

"Are you okay?" Finn asked, frowning at the cell phone screen in his hand. It seemed like a douche move on Blaine's part to cheat on Kurt, especially with Rachel. Finn supposed he should have been surprised at Rachel's actions, but if truth be told, he didn't put anything past her at this point. Few things stopped her from getting what she wanted.

But Blaine wasn't his concern, if anything Blaine should be concerned about running into Finn's fist. And Finn lost any right to be concerned about Rachel a while ago, even if he wanted to take her side in this. Kurt was his main worry, and the way Kurt was practically setting fire to the floor underneath him.

"I'm not okay. My boyfriend, my first boyfriend, is sleeping with Rachel Berry!"

"I'm sure they're not sleeping together," Finn offered, but Kurt didn't seem to notice.

"She's going to waltz on by because she gets what she wants. She stole you from me-not that I ever had you, because as she reminded me constantly, even if she was last in line she'd still be ahead of me since you're not gay-" Finn's stomach churned uncomfortably at the reminder of the previous spring's events, but let Kurt continue. "- and now she's stealing away the boy that is actually gay. How does she even do this?"

"Kurt, maybe you should sit down," but Finn's words went unheard as Kurt rubbed his forehead. Finn took a step closer warily, half expecting Kurt to snap his head off. When he didn't he moved closer until he could hug his brother-something he didn't do often because hugging wasn't really his thing, but he knew that Kurt wouldn't read too much into it anymore.

Kurt relaxed into him, and Finn rubbed his back absentmindedly. He tried to block out that he used to do this with Rachel, sensing the Hudmel house was now a Rachel Berry free house for the time being. Instead he focused on how tiny Kurt felt in his arms. He was still a guy, but he was small and fit easily enough in Finn's arms. He shook his head, clearing away the thought, and cleared his throat, taking a step back. "Now that you're breathing again," he joked, but his voice was coming out weird and strangled, "maybe you should talk to Blaine about this?"

Kurt raised an eyebrow. "I'm surprised you didn't suggest Rachel first."

Finn shrugged. "Rachel is going to do what Rachel wants to do. I mean you should probably talk to her or something, but like, Blaine's your boyfriend right? And I'm sure he'll crack before she does anyways."

Kurt sighed, nodding his head. "I suppose that makes sense. When did you get so wise Hudson?"

"No idea Hummel," Finn grinned back as Kurt retreated up the steps, already dialing Blaine from his phone.
