"What's this, Blaine?"
Kurt held out a photograph, his eyes troubled and betrayed. Blaine looked at the photograph, even though he wanted to do anything else.
It was a photo of the Dalton Academy Warblers graduating class of 2011. He and Sebastian were standing on opposite sides of the group, but there was no doubt that Blaine was in the photo.
"A picture of me in my high school glee club," Blaine said softly.
"But this is Dalton Academy, in Ohio," Kurt said.
"I know."
"But you said you went to high school in Chicago."
Blaine hesitated and Kurt took that as an answer. The taller man threw down the photo.
"You lied to me," he said in an emotionless voice. "Our entire relationship was a lie."
"I wanted to tell you," Blaine said, hearing his voice crack.
"You lied to me!"
Before Blaine even had a chance to explain himself, Kurt was out the door. He ran after Kurt but the more he tried to catch up, the further Kurt was from him.
Blaine woke up with a start and rolled over. His breathing was steady, despite the nightmare that he had just had. The dark-haired man tried not to dwell on the nightmare, not wanting to think about Kurt finding out about his lies and breaking up with him.
Out of all the nightmares he had had since he and Kurt had gotten together, this one was the most realistic. No one turned into monsters or was suddenly killed by a dinosaur or some other creature. This nightmare was exactly how Blaine had imagined a break-up would go once he told Kurt the truth. Blaine nearly wished that he had one of his more absurd nightmares. They were easier to push out of his mind.
Blaine wasn't sure how much longer he could keep having these nightmares. They were becoming more and more frequent and he knew why. His subconscious was trying to convince him to tell Kurt the truth.
It would be best if he told the truth sooner than later. Before their relationship went any further. Blaine doubted that once the truth was out that he and Kurt would still be dating but if he told the truth before Kurt found out on his own, they might still have the chance to be friends. It was a small chance but the smallest chance was better than none.
Blaine was still dwelling on the nightmare hours later when Kurt texted him.
Want to meet at my place tonight after dinner?
It was an odd request, especially coming from Kurt, but Blaine didn't hesitate saying yes. Maybe tonight would be the night he told the truth, though he doubted it.
Blaine tried to figure out the best way to approach the subject. He doubted that saying outright "I've been lying to you since the day we met" would be the best way to start the conversation.
He was so preoccupied that Blaine never considered to think about what Kurt's text had meant. Normally they kept their dates to meal times or hanging out at Blaine's place. Blaine had only been over at Kurt's place once or twice and that was when he was waiting for Kurt to finish getting ready before they went off campus for a few hours.
That was why Blaine wasn't expecting anything out of the ordinary when he knocked on Kurt's door that night.
Blaine let out a muffled yell as the door opened and he was enveloped in a hot, fiery kiss. It was unlike anything he had experienced before. He and Kurt had kissed, quite often when they were alone, but they normally didn't contain this amount of raw passion.
It was then Blaine realized what was probably about to happen. He and Kurt had recently talked about going further than kissing and clothed grinding but Blaine hadn't really expected that Kurt would take things into his own hands.
"Roommate?" he asked, pulling away for a second. He didn't want to be interrupted later and have to deal with that awkwardness.
"Out of town for the night," Kurt replied in a breathless voice before pulling Blaine into another kiss.
Instead of thinking too much like he always did, Blaine let himself feel. He pushed away all of his thoughts and enjoyed the night that he and Kurt had together.
It wasn't until after the night was nearly over and Kurt had fallen asleep that Blaine realized he had done the thing he had been trying to avoid. He had meant to tell Kurt the truth before they had sex but he had been blind-sided by tonight.
Blaine lay awake until the sun started to rise, thinking about what to do next. He wondered how tonight would change things in the future. When the sun had broken the horizon, he quietly sat up and tried to be as silent as he could as he got ready to leave. Before he could, Kurt woke up.
"Where're you going?" he slurred, blinking sleepily. Blaine turned around and smiled softly at Kurt, hoping his worry didn't show.
"I have to shower and get ready for class," he said. "I'll see you later."
On impulse, Blaine approached the bed and placed a gentle kiss on Kurt's lips.
"See you later," Kurt replied, squeezing Blaine's hand before turning over and falling back asleep.
Blaine stared at Kurt for a few more seconds before he continued gathering his things up. When he was fully dressed, Blaine slipped out of the room and began to walk back to his own room.
It was strange to see the campus so empty and silent but Blaine was thankful for the silence. It gave him time to think and to curse himself. After all, he had just done the last thing he had wanted to do. Now, he feared, there was no way of getting out of this situation without causing lasting damage to his and Kurt's relationship.
