This is a longer one yay! I'm getting better, bear with me…

Chapter 12

It took Kurt a few days to prepare himself. He didn't know why, but he was nervous about talking to Blaine. He tried to keep busy with getting into college, and preparing for next year's NYADA auditions. But Blaine was never far from his mind. Kurt needed a distraction.

He was sitting alone at a café not far from home when he picked up his phone and dialed a number he knew all too well. He was just about to press the call button until he heard someone clear their throat behind him.

"Well, aren't you a sight for sore eyes." Kurt recognized the deep voice immediately.

Kurt whipped around to find a smiling Karofsky looking down at him.

"David?" Kurt had to do a double take, "Hey! What's up?"

Karofsky slipped his hands into his jacket and shrugged his shoulders, "Nothing. Just school mostly."

Kurt observed him as he walked to the other side of the table and grabbed the chair, "May I?"

"Sure, sure," Kurt waved his hand. He took a deep breath, "Oh My God! How have you been?" He gave him a cheesy smile and slipped his phone back into his pocket. He was kind of relieved to see his friend after so long.

"Great actually," Karofsky finally settled in his chair, "Just taking it one day at a time."

Kurt nodded in understanding, remembering the last time Kurt and he had spoken. That night in the hospital had to be one of the scariest days of his life.

"I'm in college now," Karofsky added.

Kurt reached over and touched his hand, "That's so great! I'm happy for you."

"Thanks Kurt," Karofsky Blushed as he slid his hand from under Kurt's, "How have you been?"

Kurt took a deep breath, "I'm… doing alright."

Karofsky sensed the sudden sadness in Kurt's voice.

"Something wrong?"

"Not really," Kurt avoided eye contact with him. Everyone always said Kurt was a terrible liar.

Then the words Kurt were dreading escaped Karofsky's mouth.

"How's Blaine doing?"

Kurt rolled his eyes, "Well I don't really know. Considering we aren't together anymore."

Karofsky had to stop the sudden urge to leap for joy, "Oh man, that's horrible," he lied.

"Yeah, he seems to be doing just fine with his new boyfriend."

Karofsky laughed, "Wow, he moves on fast."

Kurt punched him in the arm.

"OW!" he laughed out, "But seriously what a jerk."

"Yeah, Well…" Kurt wanted to move on from this conversation.

He looked at the clock on the wall. He knew it was getting late and Carole would kill him if he missed dinner.

"Oh, it's getting late. I should be getting home before dinner." Karofsky looked confused, "My dad is going out of town for a while, and Carole's cooking a big dinner before he leaves."

Karofsky frowned. He wished Kurt didn't have to leave so soon. He was enjoying his time with Kurt. Then he got an idea.

"Hey, how would you like to go to dinner… with me?"

Kurt who was standing up at the time froze in mid-air, "What?"

Karofsky shrugged again, "Will you go to dinner with me, tomorrow night?"

Kurt threw his bag over his shoulder and stared at the other boy as if this was a joke.

"Umm, are you asking me out?"

"No! no, just as friends. Just want to catch up, that's all."

Kurt squinted his eyes at him. This amused Karofsky.

"That's all I promise," Karofsky pleaded.

Kurt began walking away, "Okay, okay," he agreed, "I'll call you tomorrow."

Kurt walked away without another word. Karofsky watched after him, admiring how his jeans hugged him in all the right places. He had the biggest grin on his face. Little did he know that with his back turned to Karofsky, Kurt was wearing a similar smile.

"Blaine come on honey, Will's waiting for you," Blaine's mom looked Will up and down.

Will, obviously uncomfortable tried to make small talk with her.

"So, Ms. Anderson how's work and everything?"

She seemed to ignore every word he said, "I like your suit. You're a very handsome young man."

Will nodded awkwardly, "Thank you Ms. Anderson," he smiled.

They both stood in the entrance to the front door for another moment in silence before Blaine's mom had had enough.

"Blaine?" she yelled.

As if on cue Blaine walked downstairs. He sauntered over to his mom and gave her a hug, "Thanks for keeping him company. I assume you were nice?"

Will made a face as Blaine's mom adjusted his suit tie, "Of course I was honey. Have fun okay."

"I'll be home by 12 okay." Blaine grabbed his coat and gave Will his.

She smiled as they exited the house and closed the door.

Will opened the car door for Blaine, who slipped into the passenger's seat with the biggest smile on his face.

When Will finally made it into the driver's seat, he put the keys into the ignition then paused.

"May I say, you look absolutely delicious in your suit tonight Mr. Anderson." Will licked his lips.

"Why thank you Mr. Truman. You clean up pretty good yourself." Blaine admired Will's tailored suit, "Not really sure why we have to be so dolled up, we're only going to breadsticks."

Will scoffed, "Well excuse me for wanting to wine and dine my boyfriend to a romantic dinner at his favorite restaurant."

Blaine put his hand on Will's shoulder, "And that's very romantic of you," He grabbed the back of his neck and slowly pulled him into a kiss.

Will was under Blaine's spell as he melted into the unexpected kiss, "You taste delicious too."

Blaine laughed still holding Will's face close to his own, "Let's go."

Will was certainly winning the best boyfriend of the week award tonight. He had been a perfect gentleman from the moment he had picked Blaine up, to the minute they were seated at they're table at Breadsticks. Will even requested a tucked away table so they could have a little privacy. Blaine was swooning like a groupie by the time they were actually seated.

"This is really nice Will," Blaine smiled that beautiful smile, "Thank you for bringing me out tonight."

"No problem. Anything to keep that gorgeous smile on your face." Will picked up his menu, "Now what's good here?"

Blaine had forgotten that Will had never been to Breadsticks before.

"Oh yeah, Well I like the chicken parmesan, and the seafood Alfredo. That's always good."

Will nodded as Blaine pointed out some other things he liked on the menu.

"Okay I think I'm gonna get the chicken parmesan, what are you getting Blaine?"

Blaine was now distracted by something that caught his eye.

"Where's the waiter?" Will asked looking around. After all they had been sitting there for a while.

As if on cue, the waiter showed up asking if they wanted anything to drink.

"A coke for me, Blaine?" Will asked him.

Blaine looked at Will as if he had just seen a ghost.

"Um, I'll have the same thing." He muttered.

"Alrightly then. Any appetizers for you guys?" the waiter scribbled something onto his pad.

Blaine tuned Will out as he began to order. He was more interested in what he saw across the room. Or in other words, who he saw.

"Blaine, Blaine….?" Will waved his hand in front of his boyfriends face.

Blaine shot his attention to Will, "I'm sorry, I'll take the seafood Alfredo with a house salad. Ranch dressing."

"Cool. I'll be back in a minute with your drinks."

The waiter walked away as Will stared at a detached Blaine.

"Is everything okay babe?" Will asked.

Blaine shook his head in disbelief.

What the hell was he doing here with him?!

"I'm fine, just kind of hungry. I didn't really eat anything all day."

Will leaned back in his seat, "Oh. That's not healthy Blaine. You can't just go all day without eating."

Blaine shifted in his seat, "I was just so excited. Can you excuse me for a moment?"

Will tilted his head as Blaine stood up from his chair and walked quickly toward the bathroom.

Blaine busted through the door of the bathroom unsure of what emotion was taking him over. He could feel the heat of his jealously welling in his face. He splashed some cold water on his face as he tried to pull himself together.

Come on Blaine, get a grip. It's not like you two are still together.

Blaine pulled out his phone and pulled up Kurt's name to text him. But as fate would have it, he walked into the bathroom the second Blaine pushed send.

"Blaine?" Kurt stood in the doorway for a minute.

"Kurt. What the…? I was… I was just texting you."

Suddenly Blaine began breathing heavier. He didn't know whether to be mad, or nervous about seeing Kurt. It had been at least two weeks since they spoke last.

"What are you…?" Kurt stopped himself, "You're here with Will?"

Kurt walked up to the sink next to Blaine and examined himself in the mirror.

Blaine wanted to just grab and shake him.

"I think the better question is why the hell you are here with Karofsky?"

Kurt was taken aback. Was Blaine serious?

"Are you serious?" Kurt said exactly what he thought.

"Uh, yeah." Blaine stood behind Kurt.

"Look nothing's going on with me and David, okay. Besides why do you even care?"

Kurt asked the question that Blaine had been wondering himself.

"I don't know." he admitted.

"Well…" Kurt didn't know if she should tell Blaine what he had to say or if he should just wait, "I wanted to tell you something, but I guess it can wait."

Blaine was of course dying to know what it was now. He felt the tension in his body soften and he wondered, "What is it?"

Kurt racked his brain for excuses to not tell him, but he had nothing.

"Um… I was gonna call you a few days ago. I wanted to let you know that I wasn't angry anymore. I just want you to be happy Blaine, even if it isn't with me."

Blaine doubted this was really happening. Was Kurt forgiving him? After all Kurt didn't have anything to be sorry about. Blaine was the idiot who let him go. But would he admit that to Kurt, probably not.

"Oh. Thanks Kurt. That means a lot to me."

"You look great Blaine," Kurt examined him, "You still look very handsome in a suit."

Kurt was about to leave the bathroom until Blaine pulled him into a warm hug.

Kurt held his breath. He had been missing Blaine's hugs. Being in Blaine's arms just felt so… right. Kurt wished he could hold on to him forever.

"Blaine, are you okay in here?"

Will swung the bathroom door open. Blaine and Kurt were still hugging and Will stopped in his tracks. Blaine didn't realize he had been gone so long.

"Oh... I see you're doing just fine."

Kurt and Blaine both looked at Will, not letting go of each other.

Will angrily retraced his steps back out of the bathroom leaving Kurt and Blaine holding on to each other in the middle of the bathroom floor.

Kurt let go of Blaine and frowned, "I'm sorry, did I get you in trouble."

"I'll talk to you later Kurt... thank you," Blaine gave Kurt's hand a squeeze and ran out of the bathroom.

He went back to they're table which was now vacated. Blaine cursed under his breath as he headed toward the door. He spotted Will halfway to his car.

"Will, wait!" Blaine yelled after him, but there was no stopping Will.

He unlocked his car and Blaine caught him just before he opened his door.

"Will, what are you doing? Come on… you just gonna leave me here?" Blaine was almost out of breath from running.

"You seemed to be doing just fine with your man in there." Will spat out with his back to Blaine.

Blaine rolled his eyes, "Come on that was nothing. Just a hug shared between friends."

"If you still love him just tell me," Will spun around facing Blaine who stepped closer to him.

"I don't want Kurt. I want you." Blaine tried his best to convince himself this was true. He would be lying if he said he wasn't still in love with Kurt. But he really cared about Will.

Blaine rested his arms on the car. Each arm on either side of Will so he couldn't get away from him.

"I just want you," Blaine repeated giving the taller man a peck on the cheek, "And only," he kissed his chin, "You," he kissed his lips passionately.

He pushed himself closer to Will as Will wrapped his arms around Blaine's neck giving in. There's no way he could stay mad at Blaine after an apology like that.

"I'm sorry," Will said after breaking away just to get air.

"No I am," Blaine said, "I should have never let you run out of there."

Will took a deep breath, "Look lets go back to my house," he said wearing a devilish grin on his face.

Blaine agreed and they both got in the car. What Blaine didn't know was that Kurt could see them from where he was sitting in the restaurant. He didn't know that Blaine was welling over with jealously himself, and when he saw the man he loved kissing someone else, he died a little inside.
