Confused
By: xSlythStratasfaction
Pairing: Kurt x Blaine , Rachel x Blaine
A/N: This takes place right after BIOTA and it's mostly about what happened between Kurt and Blaine during the entire Blaine-Rachel dating ordeal and what Kurt's feelings were like about the matter.
Kurt glanced up when he saw Blaine enter the hallway.
His stomach squished itself up in knots when he saw how downtrodden his ex-best friend looked as he shuffled through the hallway. God, if only they weren't fighting! Then Kurt could just go up and pull Blaine into a hug and-
Oh, right… their fight was the thing making Blaine so upset.
Honestly, Kurt wondered if he looked as pathetic as Blaine did. He knew he looked a mess when he first arrived at the school that morning, but as the day went on, he felt himself feel a little brighter. That could mostly be explained by the fact that a certain blonde headed sophomore had invited him out for coffee, something that hadn't happened… well, since Blaine had started getting coffee with him months ago.
Just the thought of Luka possibly being interested in him made Kurt's stomach fill with drunken butterflies; the offending partiers bumping around in his belly like they were doing a conga line. It wasn't that Kurt was really excited to be going out on a coffee date with a new guy… it was mostly because he was nervous as hell and wasn't really sure what to think.
A tiny bit of him felt as if he was betraying Blaine for heading out on a date for coffee – that was their thing, for real – with another guy, but then other parts of him mentally scolded that he shouldn't feel bad when Blaine was busy skipping around with Rachel freaking Berry.
As his mind clouded with visions of Blaine and Rachel holding hands while running through a field full of daises, Kurt felt eyes land upon him. He found himself staring straight ahead at his (former?) best friend, his blue eyes landing on Blaine's hazel ones as they stared at each other from across the hall.
Everything felt uncomfortable in that very moment.
Kurt pressed himself back against the windowsill, the cool glass chilling his neck as he flattened himself against the window pane. Blaine was walking towards him now, his eyes still burning holes into Kurt's head. Once again, the tenor was going to try to talk to him and Kurt could feel the bile rise in his throat as he debated on whether or not he should run away or tell Blaine to fuck off – as nicely as possible, of course.
That would've been too mean though… and could possibly severely damage their already crumbling relationship. So, the countertenor decided against it all and stayed cemented in his seat in the window. He let his blue eyes train onto Blaine's saddened face.
It was now or never…
"Kurt."
Blaine's voice was soft and it sounded slightly broken. The taller teen glanced up as Blaine came to a full stop in front of him. The dark haired boy glanced down at his seated friend and opened his mouth to say something, but found himself speechless. The other boy found himself in the same predicament.
"Blaine, I-"
Kurt tried to figure out something to say, but also found himself speechless. He honestly didn't know what to voice out loud. His heart screamed at him to apologize, to let Blaine know exactly why he was so upset over the other boy choosing Rachel, but his mind said to shut his trap and wait to see what Blaine had to say.
Blaine, on the other end, was mentally battling himself as well. He wanted to call Kurt out on his biphobia and the fact that the younger boy didn't even bother to try and understand things from his point of view; however, his heart was throbbing in his chest, trying to tell him to just break down and say he was sorry for comparing Kurt to that bully Karofsky.
Neither boy spoke.
Their eyes stayed locked on one another; the emotions filtering through the orbs told many a tale of the pain and anger both boys felt towards one another. After a few moments of staring at each other, Kurt gasped softly and brought his hand to his mouth.
"Blaine…"
The curly headed boy frowned, shooting a glance to the floor, "Kurt, I'd-"
He had almost gone to apologize when a voice burst through and interrupted him.
"Kurt! Hey!"
Both teens turned their heads towards the offending voice and found themselves staring at a cheerful looking blonde sophomore… Luka.
The light haired Warbler came jogging down the hall, one arm waving in the air as he quickly made his way over to where the two juniors were housed. Once he got close enough and noted the solemn stances of his classmates, he shrunk back in fear that he had interrupted something important.
"I'm not messing up anything, am I?" He whispered, glancing back and forth between Kurt and Blaine.
It was Kurt who answered first as he stood up and shouldered his messenger bag, "No. You didn't interrupt anything." He pulled the bag close to his chest and looked at the taller blonde, "Are we still on for coffee?"
Luka's green eyes shot over to look at Blaine and he noticed the shorter teen staring pointedly at the ground, "Are you sure I wasn't interrupting something because I can go and-"
"No, just go." Blaine whispered as he turned to walk off down the hall. At the sound of his quiet voice, Kurt looked up sadly and watched as his crush exited the building dejectedly.
"Oh Kurt, I didn't mean to butt in on you guys. Were you two finally talking? Oh God, I should've been more careful. I'm so sorry! I-"
"Nothing was happening, Luka." Kurt said softly as he waved a hand in front of the tall teen's face. "Let's just go get that coffee, okay? I need some caffeine – stat!"
With a weak smile, Luka placed a hand on the older boy's shoulder and walked with him out to the parking lot. He sincerely hoped that he hadn't ruined what would've been an opportune moment between the two friends. If he did and the two guys never talked again, then Luka was done for – Wes and the other Warblers would make sure of that!
Blaine sulked as he climbed onto his bed and smothered his face into a pillow.
That damn Luka had ruined everything. He and Kurt were finally going to talk, Blaine was going to tell his best friend that he was sorry, and they were going to discuss their issues… then that freaking blonde goofball showed up and messed with everything.
And now time was inching away more quickly; Blaine only had a few days left before Wes kicked Kurt out of the Warblers. At the rate the boys were going, Blaine didn't know if he was going to make it before the deadline.
Groaning, the tenor rolled onto his back and looked up at his ceiling. He could feel his phone vibrating in his the back pocket of his pants, but he made no move to grab it. Whoever wanted to speak to him so badly could leave him a voicemail or send him a text.
Deep down, he hoped the person calling him was Kurt, but he knew that was probably not an option. The countertenor had been so adamant to dismiss him when Luka showed up, so Blaine decided that the boy was probably having a grand ole time at the coffee shop with his new boyfriend.
Ugh, boyfriend. Luka and Kurt… boyfriends.
Just the thought of it made Blaine sick to his stomach. While he really had no right in saying who Kurt could and could not date, he really didn't think Luka was the countertenor's type. Luka was rather athletic, didn't care about fashion whatsoever, and spent a lot of his time talking about surfing and the beach. Sure, Blaine liked sports and ran track on the Dalton Track and Field team, but at least he read Vogue and liked musicals and all that other stuff Kurt liked.
Wait… what? Who cares if you like the same things as Kurt? You aren't dating, nor do you like him. What the hell Blaine? His mind scolded as he felt his chest flare up in jealousy. You're just mad because if Kurt starts dating Luka, you two won't be best friends anymore because they'll be too busy dating and-
Oh crap.
Perhaps that's why Kurt is so upset?
It all made sense then. Just the fact that Blaine was practically dating Rachel meant that his time would have to be split between both Rach and Kurt; that's why Kurt was so upset… well, minus the Karofsky comparison part and the biphobia issue. Blaine leaned back against his pillows and focused on a crack in the wall, letting his mind drift off into thinking about how stupid he had been.
All this time, he had completely ignored the fact that if he started dating Rachel, things between him and Kurt would go horribly awkward. Kurt and Rachel had been friends (or something like that) before Blaine even entered the scene, so if he kept on this relationship with Rachel, he would have to split time between the two of them and the two of them would have to split time with him.
As his mind jumbled up more reasons as to why Kurt could possibly be upset with him – some of which were absolutely ridiculous and made no sense whatsoever – his cell phone buzzed again. The alert was much shorter, meaning someone had texted him.
Arching his back and lifting his hips, Blaine maneuvered himself upwards so that he could reach back and grab the shaking phone from his back pocket. Once the device was in his hands, he turned on the screen and frowned when he saw that it was Rachel – once again – calling him up.
The text was also from her. It read:
BW! Hope your day was better than mine. I think all of New Directions wants my head on a platter! –R
Blaine stared at the text in confusion. BW? Oh yeah, Blaine Warbler. He didn't understand why Rachel couldn't use his last name; she knew it well enough. She probably thought it would be easier to call him by his glee name or something. If that was the case, perhaps he should start calling her Rachel New Directions? That sounded stupid though… but it wasn't like Blaine Warbler was any better.
Rolling his eyes, Blaine typed out a text in response and waited for Rachel to text him back. Imagine his surprise when his phone rang.
"Rachel?"
"Blaine Warbler! You will not believe what happened to me today!"
A/N: Okay, so I'm a terrible, terrible liar! I said this chapter was going to be longer, but it's not and I also said that New Directions was going to make an appearance in this chappy as well, but they didn't… and for that, I apologize. I am, however, in the process of working on the next chapter and it WILL be longer and have more drama and all that jazz in it. I promise this time! I really do! Please bear with me at this time though. There's a lot going on (family drama, health crap – btw, do any of you know what kind of sickness one may have if the left side of their body is constantly going numb and they are always nauseous?, etc.) and I'm trying to update as quick as I can, but sometimes things get in the way. So, I apologize for the lateness and shortness of it all. It'll get better soon! Anyways, thanks for reading and please review! OH YEAH, and Blaine is a complete idiot, I know. He seems to think that Kurt is mad because he's gonna have to share him with Rachel, but that's just not the case, as we already know. But what can ya do? Blaine is dense sometimes! :)
